…

After a fierce battle in the fourth quarter, the Nets easily defeated the Raptors 113-96.

The process of the game is the same as most preseason games in the past, divided into upper and lower parts.

The upper part is the confrontation between the main players of both sides, and the lower part is the duel between the substitute lineups of both sides.

In the first half, the Nets did not gain much advantage because Lu was still trying to adjust the lineup and find his form.

Especially for Kobe, Carter and others who just joined the team in the new season, he gave them a lot of playing time in order to let them find their form.

Although it was only the first half, he already had the answer to this question.

Kobe may still need some time, but Carter doesn't need time to look for him at all, he is in hot shape now!

This is undoubtedly huge good news for the Nets, because although the Nets have a strong lineup, as before, the rotation will be snatched up at the end of the season, resulting in relatively large changes in the rotation lineup.

Carter is now in good condition, which undoubtedly makes people feel more reassured about the Nets' rotation lineup for the new season.

Of course, Carter is not the only one who is in good shape.

Because of the Nets' approach in the first half, the half-time score between the two sides was not big, and it was a close match.

Then in the second half, the Nets' bench began to perform brilliantly.

The most eye-catching one is Anunoby.

Perhaps due to the fierceness of his idol Carter, Anunoby was extremely excited during the fight.

Moreover, his talent was fully demonstrated in this excited state. He performed several wonderful dunks in the fast break, and even went beyond the frame, which was amazing.

At this time, he has a very good template on the court, Siakam.

His body shape and style of play have many similarities with Siakam.

Siakam is now a small forward for the Raptors, which undoubtedly makes Nets fans take a new look at the team's rookie.

Then the other one is Zhou Qi, who is currently very popular with the Nets.

Lu also likes Zhou Qi very much, because in terms of static physical talent alone, Zhou Qi is quite abnormal, and his height and wingspan are top-notch even if you look at the entire league.

So he gave Zhou Qi a lot of playing time in the second half, and Zhou Qi also showed his improvement in strength.

After a season of physical strengthening training, he has transformed from an inside player with NBA-level confrontation capabilities.

Yes, facts have proven that this is the more correct direction compared to the way the Rockets trained him in history.

As the old saying goes, although Zhou Qi is tall and long-armed, and looks a bit like Durant's body type, Durant's historic agility and touch are not something you only need to have the same physical condition as him.

After all, there has been only one Durant in the NBA for so many years.

On the contrary, the inside line is a position where the physical advantage can be better utilized.

Moreover, having coached the body for more than a season has allowed Zhou Qi not only to adapt to NBA-level confrontations, but also to avoid the feeling of being knocked down or injured after being hit like in history.

Several of his blocks were quite amazing, and the opponent Nogueira was a bit confused.

Coupled with the outstanding performance of several rotations, the Raptors' bench seems to be much weaker at this time.

Although it is only a preseason game, the most intuitive feeling for fans after watching it is that the Nets are not weaker than last season.

The main force is still very strong, and the substitutes are also very strong.

And this was even before Kobe found his form.

Because he is Kobe, everyone believes that one day he will regain his form.

After the game, Carter became the subject of interviews with on-site reporters.

Carter also received such a popular scene again after many years.

Lin Ying also went over and naughtyly asked for some heat.

But what no one noticed at this time was that Kobe, who had a poor performance today, left the court early and returned to the locker room.

After the fight with Carter was over, Lin Ying turned around and noticed that Kobe was missing.

And he was also blocked by reporters at the moment.

Although Carter is the focus of the media's attention tonight, Lin Ying, as the boss of the Nets and the face of the league, cannot escape early in this kind of overseas game.

After waiting for about half an hour, he escaped from the siege of reporters.

When he returned to the locker room, many players had already gone back. He looked around and didn't see Kobe again.

He knew enough about Kobe's character to know that Kobe wouldn't feel too good after playing such a game, so he thought about chatting for two days.

He turned around and asked Tucker and others in the locker room, and they all shook their heads.

And before Lin Ying could think of anything else, Tucker chatted with him about the latest LinK sneakers.

Lin Ying slapped his head and almost forgot that Tucker was a shoe king.

Anyway, he didn't know where Kobe was for the time being, so he just started chatting with Tucker.

Thanks to his dominant performance on the court and Anta's ever-improving sneaker quality, LinK shoes are now selling like hotcakes around the world.

Even in North America, it is second only to Nike and on par with the Jordan series.

So it’s not strange that Tucker, the shoe king, wants the latest sneakers, and he also offered to exchange Jordan’s early sneakers.

It seems that he originally collected a lot of shoes, otherwise he would have been reluctant to take them out if he only had one pair.

Because Lin Ying wanted to go to Kobe as soon as possible, he readily agreed.

And he doesn't suffer from this kind of shoe change. Many of Jordan's early shoes are collectibles.

Although he is not a shoe king like Tucker, it would be nice to buy some and put them home as decorations.

After the chat was over, Lin Yingshun signed the previous generation LinK sneakers that Tucker brought out, and then left the locker room.

Based on his understanding of Kobe, after playing such a bad game, Kobe would most likely be in, um, yes, the training gym.

Because it was his first time to visit a competition venue, Lin Ying asked around and was asked for some autographs before arriving at the training facility.

But what was different from what he expected was that there was no Kobe in the training gym.

This time he went around in a big circle and hit the target empty.

He had no choice but to pick up his cell phone and call Kobe.

The person over there quickly picked up the call, and after asking, I found out that Kobe was blowing air on the rooftop on the second floor.

After asking around again, he found the way to the second floor.

As soon as he stepped onto the rooftop, he felt a cold wind going straight into his neck.

I didn't feel that strong on airplanes or buses before, but after I got to the rooftop, I realized how cold it was in Vancouver in October.

Kobe leaned on the railing and looked at the scenery of Vancouver.

Vancouver is Canada's largest seaport city and one of the largest financial cities.

However, unlike other big cities where there are many high-rise buildings, even in urban areas, you can see a lot of green vegetation wherever you look.

In the suburbs of the city, you can see many large trees.

Vancouver's pillar industry is forestry. They provide one-stop services from production to processing to port sales.

Of course, those are not the point. The point is that when you stand on this landmark building and look at it, even if autumn comes, you can't stop the vitality coming towards you.

This feeling makes people feel very comfortable.

Lin Ying seemed to know why Kobe went up to the rooftop to get some air.

Because although the cold wind is blowing, the scenery of the city does make people feel a little relaxed.

"I thought you were at the training gym."

Lin Ying walked over and said with a smile.

"Relax your mind."

Kobe replied with a smile.

"Actually, there's no need to put any pressure on me. The preseason is all about finding my form, and I haven't played in half a year. I think it's pretty good to be able to play like this."

Although I know that Kobe doesn't take polite words, there are still some things that should be said.

Kobe smiled and shook his head.

"Maybe it was hard to accept it at first, but now I feel that if this kind of thing doesn't happen in a hurry, things will eventually get better."

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment.

"Kobe, you seem to have changed a bit, well, you have changed."

Lin Ying also confirmed it again.

The first Kobe he met was paranoid. After that, he slowly became more like a human being. Now, he seems to have become gentler in nature.

Lin Ying could predict the previous changes, but this one was unexpected.

"Yeah?"
