"Lin Ying signed a contract with Anta for 42 million in 7 years."

When the media reported this news, the outside world was in an uproar.

In this day and age, it’s really surprising that basketball players don’t sign with brands like Nike, Adidas, and Reebok.

Especially for a player who is so popular, but in the end he only signed a domestic sneaker!

All of a sudden, all kinds of sounds came out.

In China, some fans pulled out photos of Lin Ying wearing a suit and a national flag during the draft to support Lin Ying. However, because the details of the sneaker contract will not be made public, many uninformed fans are questioning Lin Ying's choice.

"I don't doubt Lin Ying's patriotism, but such a choice is not good for his career."

"Isn't Nike good? Isn't Adidas good? Reebok is fine too! What can Anta do?"

"Lin Ying's agent is so rubbish. He is obviously doing it for his own profit without caring about Lin Ying's life and death!"

…

In the foreign media, Bill Simmons also turned on the ridicule mode on the show.

"What kind of brand is this? A him? Or a different one? Damn it, Nike probably never imagined that it would lose to a brand that I have never heard of."

"Nike will not lose. They should have given up on their own. That may not be a good investment target."

The partner on the side explained with a smile.

…

Seattle.

Durant, who had just finished training, was scrolling through social media on his phone.

When he saw Lin Ying signing a contract with Anta, he finally knew how the Chinese brand was written in Chinese.

But at this moment, he was actually a little shocked.

Because he once told Lin Ying that he was determined to sign with New Balance, but in the end he chose Nike.

Lin Ying's first reaction was Anta, and in the end he actually signed Anta.

…

Lin Ying did not pay attention to these external matters. After signing the contract and attending the first fan meeting specially held for him by Anta, he flew back to the United States the next day.

This trip to the Asian Championships has taken more time than he expected, and he will be more focused on training later.

During his time participating in the Asian Championships, many things that will happen in history this summer also happened.

Lewis has become the much-questioned Mr. Billionaire, but the Magic have also become the favorite team to win the championship next season.

Of course it won't be the hottest.

Because on the same day that the Chinese team won the Asian Championship, official B announced the news that Garnett had been traded to the Celtics.

The Boston Big Three are still here!

Only those who have truly experienced this summer know how big the fans' reaction was when the Big Three were formed.

Garnett and Pierce are still among the top ten stars in the league, and Ray Allen is still the core player averaging 26 points per game.

This is the first time since the "ancient" era that the league has seen such superstars gather on one team at the same time.

Words like "booking a championship in advance" began to appear in media reports in large numbers.

Fans are also very excited, because this is the first time they have the feeling of playing a 2-open forced trade on their own.

However, this wave of Big Three has had a big impact on other championship teams in the league and some superstars.

The first to bear the burden is "Little Emperor" James and his Cavaliers.

James entered the league in 2003 and began to rise after two years of development, but the Pistons suppressed him just like they suppressed Jordan.

It wasn't until last year that he led the team to defeat the Pistons and reach the finals, although they were swept and Duncan sent him a joke "The future is yours".

But just like the Garden of Eden of love, we have entered it after all.

The results are now good. Three big players are parachuted into the same district, and their mentality is shattered.

Next is Kobe and the Lakers.

Kidd showed interest in the Lakers last season, but in the end the management was unwilling to give up Bynum and the trip ultimately failed.

Now that the Big Three are coming, Kobe feels that staying in Los Angeles is a complete waste of time.

Kobe Bryant's trip to Chicago to inherit Jordan's legacy is almost done.

It's just that this time it's the Bulls' turn to be unwilling to give up Luol Deng.

In the end, Buss came forward and promised to bring a superstar to Kobe in the new season, and the matter was finally settled.

One thing in the east and the other in the west, the reactions of the current and future number one players in the alliance are enough to illustrate the impact that the Big Three have on the alliance.

Likewise, this is what Karl and the Nuggets need to face.

Don't look at the Nuggets through Lin Ying's eyes.

Last season was Iverson's first in Denver. To be more precise, it should be said that he only played 50 games in more than half a season.

The "golden guns" haven't been fully integrated yet, and that's not the true strength of this team.

Even then, they had reached sixth place in the fiercely competitive Western Conference. Although they were eliminated in the first round, they also lost to the eventual champion Spurs.

And just in terms of paper strength, the league is not much better than the Nuggets.

Including this surprising trade in the summer, the trade that sent away Camby and welcomed Lin Ying and the "additional head" Adrian Griffin.

My family watches games every day, and Nuggets fans know Camby's "toxicity" better than the media and other teams.

That's why they have such high expectations for Lin Ying.

Moreover, Lin Ying's performance in the Summer League and Asian Championships after being selected also responded to their expectations.

So they are full of expectations for the new season.

After Lin Ying returned to Denver, the first thing he did was buy a car.

The house that Anthony arranged for someone to find for him was in good condition, but in order not to be involved in gangs, he finally found one by himself.

He would definitely not be able to find such a good one by himself, so the environment is good, but the distance is a bit far.

In order to save time and train better, buying a car is a must.

This is similar to Kobe, who bought a helicopter for this purpose.

What, a driver's license?

Isn't that what you should do well in college?

After buying the car, Lin Ying began to devote himself to training.

Generally, Team B will hold a team training camp in mid-September.

In other words, Lin Yingxia only had less than a month and a half left to train.

He needs to continue to improve his strength and ball control during this month and a half, and also strengthen his low-post offensive skills.

Time is still very tight for him.

However, Lin Ying enjoys this process because the training facilities at the Pepsi Center are much more complete than those at the University of Texas.

And with Handy's professional guidance, he can feel his progress every day.

But even during this process, there were some things that he didn't expect.

As the new season approaches, players from other teams have arrived at the gym in advance to start training in preparation for the new season.

But the Nuggets have been quiet as never before.

Iverson didn't come, Anthony didn't come, Smith didn't come, Martin didn't come...

Each of these made Lin Ying feel like he was on a fake B team.

It wasn't until the week before the team confirmed the start of training camp that someone finally showed up.

Kenyon Martin.

Several important players of the Nuggets team, Anthony, Iverson, and Smith have all been seen.

But this was the first time for Martin to see him.

Martin has a beard all over his face, tattoos all over his body, and his "social" attributes are comparable to Anthony's.

Lin Ying knew much more about Martin than Carl.

This is a very, very passionate Brutalism.

His physical fitness is even better than Stoudemire's, and he is Kemp after Kemp.

Hammering the basket rack, beating his chest, roaring, tearing up jerseys, and even kneeling down to pound the floor, he did any passionate action you can think of, and he did it a lot.

With him on the court, the team may lose, but it will definitely lose standing.

Like Iverson, Martin's career is divided into two periods.
