D'Antoni's words have two meanings.

To put it bluntly, without a lottery, Lin Ying would not be selected!

Another meaning is that he wants Lin Ying!

Hearing D'Antoni say this, Cole also had a smile on his face.

Just waiting for your words!

In fact, he was very attracted to Lin Ying after watching the joint trial training before.

But because the Suns don't have enough draft chips, if they want to draft Lin Ying, they will most likely have to use the team's rotation players.

At that time, D'Antoni's attitude will become more important.

Now that D'Antoni has said so, he must not let himself go.

…

After the trial, D'Antoni invited Lin Ying to have dinner.

Good guy, this is undisguised!

But this kind of thing has something to do with people's character.

If it were Popovich, he would probably ignore Lin Ying and show that he had no interest in Lin Ying.

Then wait until there is a wave of tricks in the draft, and Jie Hu takes Lin Ying.

After a wave of operations, fans exclaimed: This is Zhuge Popovich, a god!

Nash was there too.

During the meal, D'Antoni and Lin Ying were not talking about trial training, but about run-and-gun tactics.

This is actually not surprising. The University of Texas' historic championship relied on a small lineup.

Although it is impossible to copy and use it, it is instructive.

Lin Ying's understanding of tactics, especially run-and-gun tactics, is definitely not as good as D'Antoni's.

However, as a time traveler, he can see the future that D'Antoni cannot.

He mainly expressed two personal views.

The run-and-gun tactic started with Nelson and was carried forward by D'Antoni, but in the end it was always one step behind.

The weakest step is defense.

Even essentially, the future Warriors team led by Curry will be of the same type as the Suns.

But the Warriors have a defensive system built by Mark Jackson.

Note, it is a defensive system.

When talking purely about individual defensive capabilities, both La Gareth Bale and Marion are the best of the two.

This is the first view, the second view is that it is too small.

D'Antoni's favorite is the 7-man rotation method.

Especially in the playoffs, it feels like no one else knows how to play except for those 7 people!

This is actually one of the reasons why the Suns lost to the Spurs this year.

The main players have been suspended, and no one can take over. D'Antoni can only play the game with 6 people!

As long as we are given more opportunities during the regular season, no one will step forward when needed.

Moreover, due to the run-and-gun tactics, everyone in the field is running, which consumes a lot of physical energy.

At that time, it wasn't a matter of whether you wanted to defend or not, it was simply not a question of whether you had the physical ability to defend.

At this point, Cole is actually summing up experience and lessons. Even if the regular season record is worse, or even loses and gets scolded, he still has to give the rotation a chance to practice.

So in the playoffs, if there is an injury or foul crisis, there will always be someone who can step up as a surprise player.

Of course, these are just two opinions of Lin Ying.

Whether it really works or whether D'Antoni will listen is not his concern.

Let’s chat during meals, whatever we have to talk about.

Anyway, he is not a member of the Suns yet.

The conversation with D'Antoni was about the same, and Nash and Lin Ying talked about something else.

Well, what they talked about was not tactics, but playing ball.

Nash originally had a crush on Lin Ying because of Duffy, and after watching Lin Ying's performance in today's trial training, he even developed a love for talent.

So after dinner, he gave Lin Ying some constructive suggestions.

"You have to be more sexy."

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment.

"I'm saying you have to be a little more aggressive and creative with your passing."

Nash's subsequent explanation made Lin Ying react.

"A big difference between professional leagues and campus basketball is that it has more of a performance nature.

Of course, this is only one of them. More importantly, everyone in the NBA reacts very quickly, and you need to seize every opportunity.

For example, a no-look pass, a crotch pass, or a zero-contact secondary pass, you need to seize every moment."

Listening to Lin Ying, he always felt like a strange man was leading a child to evil.

But what Nash said makes sense.

For ordinary passes, with the abnormal physical fitness of NBA players, you may pass the ball to the person who has already returned to defend or is assisting in defense.

But a creative pass makes it difficult for the defender to predict, making it easier for teammates to get a shot.

However, in addition to manual skills and brains, creative passing also requires games to accumulate experience.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be creativity, but Shaq's five biggest embarrassments.

For example, McGee passes the ball behind his head to his opponent.gif, and Boban passes the ball to the air without looking at anyone.gif. These are all famous scenes.

The good news is that after the draft is over, he can try his hand in the summer league.

…

After finishing the trial training with the Suns, Lin Ying went to New Jersey, Oakland and New Orleans for trial training.

The trial training process is similar to that in Phoenix.

However, due to different draft picks, the people who work out together are also different.

Like in New Orleans, he met his old rival from Kansas, Julian Wright.

And Thaddeus Young and Al Thornton.

In the NBA draft year, competition in the lottery is still very fierce.

With about a week left before the draft, Lin Ying headed to the last trial location—Los Angeles.

Because Durant was going to Seattle for a trial training at this time, Duffy went with him, and Lin Ying went to Los Angeles alone first.

Duffy didn't come, but he sent an assistant with Lin Ying.

Well, Duffy was very considerate and arranged for a Chinese assistant named Su Feng.

They also arrived in Los Angeles one day early.

Because the trial training was in the morning, Lin Ying washed up early and went to bed.

In a daze, his cell phone rang.

He opened his phone with squinted eyes, and the first thing he looked at was to check the time.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning, almost four o'clock.

Is it haunted in the middle of the night?

Or the kind that sells massage services?

Lin Ying hung up the phone in a daze.

But he called again shortly after.

He finally picked up.

"I'm Kobe Bryant, I'm at Staples Center, you come here now."

Are you Kobe Bryant?

I'm still Michael Jordan!

Does the next sentence mean that I forgot to bring my wallet, you transfer 10 US dollars to me, and I will pay you back 100 US dollars when I go back?

Lin Ying was woken up in the middle of the night, and it was inevitable to wake up angry.
