"Didn't you ask me how to look away? I don't know, but I know that if you do that, I will be happier."
"Why? Just because they hate you?"
"Yes, if they see me unhappy, I will make them unhappy, and if the fans who support us are happy, I will be happy too."
Durant said with a very serious expression.
Of course, his brain circuit most of the time is a little different from that of ordinary people.
It's a bit weird, but it makes sense.
"good."
Lin Ying agreed.
As long as Durant can be happy, there's nothing to lose by doing this.
And don’t talk about pretending, it does feel good after you succeed in pretending.
At this stage of his career, Lin Ying also wants to try something as much as possible.
Because he is a time traveler himself, his mentality is different from others.
If there is an opportunity to try something new without causing any negative effects, then he would be very interested.
And don’t think it’s that simple. Bird has pretended to be awesome, which one is not big?
If you really want to do it, it's not just a matter of words.
Even, you have to pay a certain amount of risk for it.
So this wave seems very happy, but it is also stressful.
But for Lin Ying, which step forward does not come with pressure?
After setting this goal, the two began to compile the great tricks that Bird had pretended to be in his career.
Then, after summarizing, the two of them fell silent.
Because they found that even just watching, they couldn't stand the cool stuff Bird had pretended to do.
For example, when Jordan faced Bird's Celtics in the playoffs in his second season, G2 Jordan was like a god descending from earth and scored 63 points, breaking the single-game scoring record in the playoffs.
After the game, Bird's first pretense was to praise Jordan.
"He is God tonight."
"But we defeated God."
Then, this was just the beginning, and he immediately said, "If Jordan scores more than 20 points in the next game, he will become a truck driver."
Then, Jordan really only scored 19 points in the next game!
Although it is understandable from many angles, Jordan consumed too much in this game, and the Celtics also double-teamed him crazily in the next game.
However, except for Bird, no one would dare to say in front of the media that the person who broke the NBA playoff record in the previous game could only score less than 20 points.
Then, he succeeded in pretending.
This is Jordan, if it had been anyone else, he would have split open on the spot.
Another example is the phrase "Are you here to compete for second place" that many people are familiar with.
Many people only know that Bird said such a sentence, but in fact Bird is much more than just saying that sentence.
Bird's pretense is completely a three-step process.
In the first step, Ainge and Bird were teammates at the time and competed together. While everyone else was warming up and getting a feel for the game, Bird just sat there in his training clothes and rested.
Anji went over and asked him: "Don't you need to warm up?"
Bird replied calmly: "Do you still need to warm up to deal with you guys?"
Then he stood up and went to the opponents who were warming up, and said those words: "Are you all here to compete for second place?"
Saying this before the three-point contest is tantamount to making fun of the crowd.
All his opponents were given a bloodthirsty aura.
Then in the second step, under the stunned eyes of everyone, not just the contestants, he went straight onto the field without taking off his training clothes!
The last step is the third step.
Because he was wearing training clothes, Bird's performance in the finals was not good.
He came first in the preliminaries and was the last one to play. He was 1 point behind his opponent with the last two balls left.
Then he made a steady shot to tie the score, and then took the final shot. Before the ball even landed, he turned around and raised his hands in celebration.jpg.
Then, the ball scored the winning goal.
No wonder there are so many Jordan successors in the league, but there are very few Bird successors, and no one even calls themselves that.
Because there is no other person who can do what Bird did.
Such a perfect protagonist of the novel!
If Jordan is the God of basketball strength, then Bird is God in another sense.
Because, what you say follows the law.
"How about we stop doing it?"
After watching Bird's classic pretense, Durant swallowed and said.
He felt as if he had dug a big hole for Lin Ying.
Because if Lin Ying really pretends to be as cool as Bird pretended to be, then the outside world will soon discover this.
When the time comes, if Lin Ying fails once, he will become the object of ridicule by many people.
Durant said that before because he didn't know Bird well enough, but now he understands.
"If I don't do it anymore, will you be happy?"
Durant shook his head.
"If you do it, will you be happy?"
Durant hesitated and nodded.
"Then it's settled."
Although Bird's pretense was quite risky, it was actually not as difficult for him as he imagined.
After all, his strength has reached this level.
As for luck, his luck has never been bad.
Of course, Bird has so many classic pretensions, so this won't happen overnight, there will be a process.
So you can believe that the competition will become very interesting in the future.
…
In two days, it’s the New York Derby.
Due to the schedule, this is the first time the two teams have played against each other.
The Knicks have performed well under the leadership of Paul this season, and as the season continues, their condition after running in is getting better and better.
Under such a performance, Paul was relatively low-key, but Anthony couldn't help it.
Since leaving the Heat and coming to the Knicks, although his statistics are very good, he has never made the playoffs again.
But what happened this season shows that it’s not him who is not good, it’s his teammates who are not!
So his "ambition" was aroused again.
On the occasion of the New York Derby, he was also restless.
After the team training that day, reporters interviewed him. When asked about his expectations for the next New York Derby, he also showed that.
"Beat them and it's time to take New York back."
"Is it because they are not in good condition recently?"
"No, we will still do that even if they are in good shape. The Knicks are the masters of New York."
Anthony's words instantly sparked heated discussions among fans on social media.
"To be honest, I almost forgot that Anthony is still playing in the league..."
"You are going too far. Anthony has always been there, but he has become a big deal since Howard left the Heat."
"It's also a shame. After all, Anthony competed with Lin Ying back then, but I didn't expect him to be like this now."
"He wasn't good enough to begin with. There was a time in the Heat when he could pass the ball, but now he can't. He can't hold up the wall through mud. He's perfect for the Knicks."
"Haha, if Paul hadn't gone to New York, Anthony would have died there, and now he's out again."
"It's not Anthony's fault. When the tiger takes a nap, the monkey will jump up to the tree and perform!"
"Your description is simple, but it is vivid enough!"
…
While Anthony's remarks were being discussed on social media, a report from TNT once again aroused heated discussion among fans.
"We all know Lin can dominate with his right hand, but the question is, can he dominate with his left?"
The New York Derby, Anthony's remarks, these things mixed together have already attracted much attention to the next game.
Then TNT's comments added fuel to the fire.
"Who is this reporter?"
After training that day, Durant found Lin Ying with his cell phone as soon as he saw the news.
If he had done it before, he would definitely have wanted to scold this reporter because he was just causing trouble for Lin Ying.
But after seeing Bird's pretentious deeds in the past two days, he seriously suspected that this was Lin Ying's trap.
"I paid to find it."
As expected, Lin Ying nodded directly.
"Can't we change to something simpler?"
Durant knew what Lin Ying was going to do next and couldn't help but speak.
"You don't think I don't know how to use my left hand, do you?"
"Will it?"
Durant has known Lin Ying for so long, even during the Naa period, he has never seen Lin Ying play with his left hand!
Lin Ying smiled, stood up and left the dressing room.
The two returned to the training hall. Lin Ying took a ball from the gym, then walked to the free throw line and made a solid left-handed shot.
"...Is there anything you can't do?"
The corner of Durant's mouth twitched, and he felt as if he had met Lin Ying for the first time.
"This is something you only get after entering the NBA, and shooting is not as stable as your right hand."
Lin Ying opened his mouth to explain.
During the years when he entered the NBA, he often trained with Kobe, and then during that training in Sanya, Kobe talked about the necessity of the left hand and some skills.
Because if you only know one hand, you will be easily targeted.
The left hand does not necessarily have to be the main attacker in the game, but it must be able to do so. This will directly double the difficulty of the opponent's defense.
But Durant didn't observe carefully enough, otherwise he would have discovered that Lin Ying actually changed hands a lot during the game and his left hand for layups was also very stable.
"I'm looking forward to it!"
After confirming that Lin Ying really knew how to use his left hand, Durant was inexplicably excited.
Although it was Lin Ying who was showing off, he was still very happy!
…
Two days later, the New York Derby was held at Madison Square Garden, the home of the Knicks.
The arena was full on this day, with big names gathering in the front row.
After the Knicks re-emerged this season, the Derby became the focus of the game again.
Anthony's remarks coupled with TNT's questions made this game even more interesting.
In the commentary box, Barkley, McGrady and Smith are all in place.
"You know what? I now suspect that guy Lin is recreating what Larry did."
Over at the commentary box, Barkley has already started warming up.
Lin Ying paid to find the reporter, but as the "No. 1 Lin Biao", Buckley already sensed the key here without even looking for the reporter.
To put it bluntly, he had interacted with Bird back then. He didn't need to search the Internet for Bird's glorious deeds like Lin Ying and Durant did.
"I'm going to kill you right there", "I decided to kill you with my left hand", these are all too familiar to him.
Therefore, the clever Lord Ba knew what Lin Ying wanted to do, and he began to build momentum.
"No player has ever dared to try that. Lin made the game interesting."
Maddie nodded in agreement.
He wasn't like Barkley who had watched Bird show off with his own eyes, but it was precisely because he had never seen it before that he looked forward to it even more.
Because empty things are most satisfying when they are filled.
On-site photographers have started taking shots of the players on site.
There are players and spectators.
The players gave the most to Lin Ying.
In the past two years, the Knicks have been in decline, and the Nets have stolen away a large number of New York fans.
Lin Ying's influence in New York is by no means limited to Brooklyn.
Moreover, this photographer is already considered a professional. Outside the camera, there are many fans holding Lin Ying’s big head KT board to watch the game.
It’s no wonder that Anthony wants to say something like taking back New York, because New York is now the New York of the Nets.
At the end of the shot, the photographer also gave a split shot of Anthony and Lin Ying.
The feud between the two people started in Denver and continues to this day.
Now because of Anthony's remarks, he has become the focus of the outside world again.
After the warm-up, the scene entered into the opening ceremony.
The Nets appear as the away team.
Durant, Ariza, Bradley, Jokic, Lin Ying.
Ariza made his comeback in this game.
When Lin Ying finally appeared on the stage, the venue was filled with overwhelming cheers.
That decibel shocked the big names in the front row.
For a moment, they couldn't tell whether this was Madison Square Garden or Barclays Center.
Just like when they are at the Clippers' home court at the Staples Center, they can't tell whether it's the Clippers' home court or the Lakers' home court.
The Knicks took the field as the home team.
Paul, Courtney Lee, Anthony, Porzingis, Noah.
In comparison, on the home team's side, even Paul, who enjoyed the biggest cheers, was much weaker.
Anthony also lost the playful smile he had during the China game. His expression was extremely serious, and it was obvious that he was determined to fulfill his previous promise tonight.
Taking advantage of the Nets disease will cost the Nets their lives!
The game started immediately, with both sides taking the stage one after another.
Jokic and Noah's jump ball in the center circle.
Noah easily moved the ball back to the Knicks half, giving the home team the opportunity to take the lead.
Paul dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Anthony came out. When he arrived, Paul's ball had already been delivered.
Chris Feed You Bread Paul lives up to his reputation.
"Whoa!"
Anthony also showed excellent competitive form. He took the first shot in the opening game and helped the Knicks take the lead.
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
After all, this is the home court of the Knicks.
Looking back, Lin Ying was holding the ball on the outside, and everyone else was pulling away.
The Nets started the game with their ace tactics.
Guarding Lin Ying is Porzingis, who has grown rapidly and is already a leader among the younger generation of players.
But obviously, he was still too young in front of Lin Ying.
Lin Ying suddenly changed direction and passed him with absolute speed.
Moreover, his speed was so fast that he was already inside in the blink of an eye.
Because Noah was pulled to the outside by Jokic, only Anthony on the weak side came to help defend at this time.
Looking at Anthony, Lin Ying jumped into the air, and after a confrontation with Anthony in the air, he changed the ball from his right hand to his left hand.
His aerial combat ability was fully demonstrated in this ball.
Of course the more important thing is.
"Whoa!"
Chapter completed!
