Stoudemire looked genuinely angry.

He was a "little bully", but he was really beaten by a second grader!

No, no, he must get this place back!

But at this moment, the short whistle sounded on the sidelines and Stoudemire was replaced!

In the end, Terry Porter stopped the matchup.

In the preseason, there is no need to go up top.

Although in general Stoudemire suffered a bit, but without Nash, Stoudemire would not be able to exert his full strength.

Lin Ying was also replaced by Karl after making a free throw.

Lin Ying was severely beaten by Yunus in the Olympic Games, and then trained with Duncan, and his body was already very exhausted.

He didn't want Lin Ying to play for so long in one preseason game.

And he has already seen Lin Ying's improvement in personal strength during this period.

What's more, there is more to the preseason than just this one. Even if it is the China game, they will have to go to Guangzhou to play another game later.

After Lin Ying came off the field, the fans' attention was focused on Zhu Fangyu.

However, in a wave of freshmen games, the best performer was not Zhu Fangyu, but sophomore Allen Tucker, who frequently scored from inside and outside shots.

Rookies are given three years to watch. Generally, if a rookie can perform well, he or she will make significant progress in the second or third year.

If Zhu Fangyu wants to gain a foothold in the NBA, he still needs to put in more effort.

At the end of the game, the Nuggets defeated the Suns 104-93.

Although it was only a preseason game, the main players did not play much time.

But there are still some things that can be seen in this game.

For example, the improvement of Lin Ying's low-post skills, such as Dengtai Jones.

Because of the incident of stepping on Kobe Bryant in history, Lin Ying is not very interested in Jones' preconceptions.

But judging from the game, his defense is very tough, not much worse than Allen during this period.

And his offense is slightly better than Allen's.

It's really hard to say who the Nuggets' shooting guard will be in the end.

Two days later, the two teams moved to Guangzhou for the second China game.

Many people on both sides of the game just didn't show up. The Nuggets had a pair of golden guns, and the Suns had O'Neal sitting courtside in suits and ties.

And Karl played Jones as a shooting guard this time.

As a result, Jones and Allen played more aggressively than in the first game.

This wave of classic "catfish effect".

If they faced the Lakers again in the playoffs, the two of them would probably give Kobe a drink.

Of course the focus is still on Lin Ying.

The exchange between Lin Ying and Stoudemire in the first Chinese game was a surprise to Karl. He didn't expect Lin Ying to have grown to this extent.

But because of that surprise, he didn't even have time to try the tactics.

So in the second game, he took advantage of the two-gun break and arranged it directly.

That was a tactic he came up with after "secretly observing" the Chinese men's basketball Olympic games.

You could call it: a misplaced roll call tactic.

The style of play is the same as that of the Chinese men's basketball team in the knockout round, which is to let Lin Ying create mismatched singles. The opponent will score directly without double-teaming, and double-team to distribute the ball.

Yunus plants trees and Carl enjoys the shade.

Of course, Karl was able to apply this tactic to the NBA because he saw Lin Ying's progress and his uniqueness.

In fact, this tactic can also be understood as an evolved version of One Star Spreading.

The one-star, four-shooter tactic has been around since ancient times, and Olajuwon is the most classic representative. The Rockets also relied on it to win two consecutive championships.

But Lin Ying obviously does not have Olajuwon's dominance.

Even if he and Stoudemire quarrel with each other, it will still be difficult to face Garnett at the end of his prime, Duncan at his health, and Gasol at his peak last season.

But as mentioned before, Lin Ying has his own uniqueness.

An insider with height confrontation and low-post singles ability is not unique, but if he also moves quickly, has a certain ability to control the ball, and has the ability to distribute the ball quickly and accurately, he will naturally be unique.

If it's not three-dimensional enough, you can understand it as James during the Lakers period.

This uniqueness allows him to find mismatches before going into isolations, and create mismatches.

A good coach can design the most suitable tactics for the players. In this regard, "Crazy Carl" is naturally experienced.

Of course, his preference for Lin Ying is also completely visible.

Because by doing this, he clearly wanted to transform Lin Ying from a role player to a core player.

As a result, the style of the second game in China was completely different from the first game.

The entire scene was filled with images of Nash and Dragic being beaten.

Nash: Our previous steps were in vain?

…

After the China game, Lin Ying returned to Denver with the team.

On the plane back, he saw that Yang Shuyu, who had returned from taking the "experience package", had an extra medical kit.

It seems that she also gained something.

"What's in here?"

Lin Ying's curiosity was piqued again.

Yang Shuyu opened the box directly.

Inside is a set of acupuncture needles, and they are all silver needles.

"Your grandpa doesn't know how to do this?"

Lin Ying thought about it and found out that Yang Shuyu had never done acupuncture before.

"Yes, but there are many schools of acupuncture. This time I went to visit the most famous one in China, and he gave me a pair of needles."

When talking about professionalism, Yang Shuyu couldn't stop talking.

Acupuncture is actually two things, called acupuncture and moxibustion. The former uses needles, while the latter mostly uses mugwort for burning, which is also called moxibustion.

Moreover, there are many different schools of acupuncture in China, with different emphases and even different needle materials.

Most of them are stainless steel needles, and some are silver needles and gold needles.

Among them, silver needle is the most difficult because it is easy to break and requires high level of skill.

"He also gave me a unique secret book. If you have a minor illness or something in the future, you may not need to take medicine."

Yang Shuyu then spoke.

Lin Ying was dubious, but if it was true, it would definitely be a good thing.

Because NBA players have excellent physical fitness, ordinary ailments will not come to them.

But no matter how good your physical fitness is, you are bound to suffer from minor injuries and illnesses. In addition to injuries from competition, there are also some other injuries.

Especially in the United States, the flu kills many people every year, so the types of flu here are extremely rich, plus severe diarrhea and the like.

You can often see some players missing games for these reasons.

Not to mention cure, as long as this acupuncture can relieve his symptoms, it is enough that he does not have to miss the game because of these.

"It just needs someone to practice with."

Yang Shuyu said and looked at Lin Ying.

"Don't look for me."

Lin Ying instinctively waved her hands.

He didn't want to be used as a guinea pig by Yang Shuyu.

Unexpectedly, this made Yang Shuyu laugh.

How could she try Lin Ying? Lin Ying really stabbed a hundred people and she couldn't even pay for it.

"I'm thinking whether I should go back to my grandpa's place in Houston and find someone to try out, or find a classmate in Denver."

She then spoke.

If she returns to Houston, she won't be able to follow Lin Ying around.

"Is this risky for you?"
