Lin Ying also smiled after hearing this.

Don't think too much about things you can't do, and think about things in the best possible way.

This is probably why Jokic is so happy every day.

At this moment, someone came from the training hall.

It's Lu.

"Deron told me you should be here."

Lu said as soon as he came in.

"I'm here to see Nicholas."

Lu then said to Lin again,

"Of course, Lin doesn't have to avoid it."

Lin Ying nodded after hearing this.

He seemed to be smiling, a slight smile.

But actually he was holding back a smile.

He hasn’t been in contact with Lu for a long time, so the expression “You know how to play football” always pops up in his mind unconsciously.

Emojis are the root of all evil!

Lue and Jokic were talking about serious things.

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Will Jokic be on the active list next game?

What is this thing called?

You must know that Jokic is still some distance away from the weight required by the coaching staff.

Of course, this may be the so-called "if you have talent, you can do whatever you want."

Lin Ying was not creating any fishy smell here, but was actually feeling emotional.

Jokic is different from him. He came from NCAA and his draft pick is not low.

But Jokic is a player with very low reputation overseas, and it was unexpected that he was selected in the first round.

Then he was put on the active list after just one dnp game, and this was even when his weight did not meet the requirements of the coaching staff.

If this is not considered talent, then indeed no one can.

"However, being on the active list does not mean that you will be able to play. You have to be patient."

Lu encouraged Jokic.

Lu, you are very good at getting along with others!

Jokic nodded. Being on the active list means having the opportunity to play, which is more useful than having to score a "triple-double" off the court.

"come on."

After Lu left, Lin Ying patted Jokic on the shoulder and said.

Although he traveled through time, he really doesn't have any useful insight into what kind of performance Jokic will play.

Historically, Jokic landed in the NBA after losing weight for a season in Europe. He performed well in his rookie season, playing 80 games and starting 55, averaging 21.7 minutes per game and scoring 10 goals with a 51.2% shooting rate.

He scored 7 points, 2.4 assists and 1 steal, and shot 33% from three-point range.

But these are of no reference significance because all external conditions are now different.

So he is also looking forward to what Jokic will do in his debut.

…

Two days later, the Nets faced the Pacers at home.

It can be said that the Pacers have been a bit miserable this season.

First, Stephenson rejected the team's five-year, $44 million contract extension and instead signed a three-year, $27 million contract with the Hornets.

They lost their starting shooting guard all of a sudden.

What followed was the "George's broken leg" incident that had fans talking about it all summer.

Moreover, David West's age has also reached 34 years old. For most insiders, this is the age when their condition declines.

So it only took the Pacers one summer to go from a championship team to a fringe playoff team.

This is a good opportunity for Jokic to make his debut.

Especially now that he has made some achievements in three-pointers, it will be very interesting to face Hibbert.

However, the game was much more intense than expected.

Karl did give young players more playing time, but it turns out that the Nets' problems are not so easy to solve.

Because just like you can't expect a minimum salary player to hit key shots every night.

Although the chance of that key ball is indeed good, he is a minimum-salary player after all.

Likewise, you can't expect young players to perform better in bigger roles all at once.

This will require a process.

And on the Pacers side, George Hill is in hot form.

Don’t mistake Seth for Curry, and don’t mistake Hill for George!

The game remained suspense until the decisive moment of the fourth quarter.

Well, Jokic didn't get a chance to play.

The only difference from the previous game was that Jokic did not wear a suit anymore, but wore training clothes and waved a towel on the sidelines for the entire game.

This time he didn't sweat much and didn't even need to take a shower.

Fortunately, Jokic is always the optimistic person. After the game, he helped Lin Ying pick up the ball and practice three-pointers.

Then, after the Nets finished 6 games of the season, Jokic didn't get a chance to play.

But the good news is that Lu's strategy is working.

The constantly compressed playing time has indeed made the veterans feel the crisis. They are playing harder than before and their performance has also improved.

The Nets' record of 4 wins and 2 losses can be regarded as a bit of a dynasty team.

However, the one receiving the most attention at this time is not the Nets, but the Warriors who played the opening game against them.

After the Warriors defeated the Nets in the opening game, they started the season with 6 consecutive victories! Ranking first in the league!

Another much-watched Cavaliers team is also going through a running-in period, with only a record of 4 wins and 2 losses like the Nets.

So this result can be said to have shocked the fans.

Most fans guessed it wrong before.

It’s not that the Nets have become weaker, it’s that the Warriors really changed their coach and became a championship contending team!

Although some fans still believe that the Warriors just started well, history is full of teams that started at the top and eventually fell.

But more people still see the difference in the Warriors.

Cole's space basketball, Curry's off-ball ability, and the Warriors' "Five of Death" all transformed the Warriors.

Although the Warriors' current performance made the fired Mark Jackson complain about himself in the dugout, he felt that Kerr "stole" his fruits.

But fans who have watched the opening game should be able to feel deeply that this thing is like a chemical reaction equation.

Even if there are only differences in catalysts, the chemical reactions between substances will produce different chemical reaction results.

Cole and his Warriors are creating a new storm in the league.

…

The Nets' opponent in Game 7 is the Cavaliers.

The personality differences between Tatum and Stern are also reflected in the schedule.

If it were Stern, he would definitely not be too late for the show and would arrange the first match between the two teams on Christmas Day.

However, Tatum was afraid that the fans would be eager to wait, so after giving some warm-up games, the two teams played against each other at the beginning of the season.

After all, the two teams are in the Eastern Conference and will play each other three times a season.

He didn't arrange the match between the two teams in April, and those three games would have been big dramas.

You can't say this arrangement is not good, because he really aroused the fans' emotions early.

This game is at the home court of the Cavaliers.

On the plane to Cleveland, Lue found Jokic again.

This time he brought good news to Jokic with a smile on his face.
