This Forward is Not Serious - Vol 2 Chapter 598

Before last season, Durant once mentioned to Lin Ying that he wanted to win 75, but in the end the Nets’ record was unfortunately fixed at 74 wins.

I thought that if the opportunity within reach was lost, there would be no chance to come back again, but I never thought that the Nets broke their previous record of 74 regular season wins after just one season!

Going a step further, it’s that simple!

This record finally shocked the league.

Because the Bulls are as strong as the original, after setting a record of 72 wins, the record in the second season is also going backwards.

But the Nets are more than just breaking the record again. Their record for three consecutive seasons is going up!

And because of the previous experience of three consecutive championship failures, they made a lot of conclusions, and the regular season was all played.

You can imagine the strength of the team behind this sentence, if they really go all out, they might even touch that 80 wins that sound like an unrealistic one.

But raising this possibility is enough to show how terrifying the Nets’ dominance over the past three years has been.

Statistically speaking, Lin Ying averaged 30.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game this season, while shooting 53.2% from the field and 39.8% on three-pointers.

This statistic is inferior to those in the west, and it’s not even the best compared to Lin Ying’s career.

In particular, this is still under the background of the league’s adjustment of the second offense from 24 seconds to 14 seconds, resulting in an overall increase in data. This performance can only be described as mediocre.

But fans who have watched the Nets’ games this season will definitely not feel that Lin Ying’s state has declined, because the data will lie.

Although the Nets also had difficult games this season, many times, it can even be said that most of the time they won easily without Lin Ying exerting too much force.

Combined with this background, you will find that Lin Ying’s data is not ordinary, but rather terrifying.

With 75 wins, with this statistic, Lin Ying is not just a popular MVP candidate, he should be the most popular.

However, compared to the West, there are obviously fewer candidates in the East who can participate in the MVP.

Because although in terms of records, the second-place Raptors have 58 wins and the third-place Hornets have 54 wins, but the core data of these two teams is much inferior.

So this season’s MVP is likely to be born between Lin Ying, Curry, James, Harden and Westbrook.

Of course, it is still too early to discuss the MVP, and the focus is still on the rankings of the East and West and a matchup in the first round.

On the west side, the first to eighth order are: Warriors, Lakers, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Pelicans, Thunder, Jazz, Spurs;

On the east side, the first to eighth order are: Nets, Raptors, Hornets, 76ers, Bucks, Pacers, Heat, Celtics;

With the ranking determined and the East-West confrontation, the Nets will face the Celtics in the first round.

In history, the Nets and the Celtics became rivals because of a heartbreaking trade for Billy King.

Now that incident has not happened, this group of confrontations will be the comeback of the former kings against the current alliance rulers.

From the perspective of the fans of the Green Army, they are full of expectations when the Celtics return to the playoffs after many years.

But just like the Hornets, they are more likely to be beaten this season.

Speaking of the Celtics, they were a team framed by a double-third overall in the same period in history, but now because Brown went to the Pelicans, there is only a team with Tatum as the core.

This is also the reason why they have a worse record than the same period in history.

The playoff match was confirmed, and the curtain was about to kick off. At this time, the league announced the first batch of awards of the season.

Most Improved Award, Best Sixth and Best Head Coach.

The Most Improved Award belongs to Oladipo of the Pacers. It is worth mentioning that Zhou Qi also received votes in this selection and ranked fifth.

It can be seen from this that his progress this season is recognized.

In the selection of the best sixth man, Louis Williams got an overwhelming number of votes.

Then in the selection of the best head coach, Lu failed to win the best head coach because of the unspoken rule that “the best coach is generally not reelected”.

In the end, the award went to McMillan of the Lakers.

The Lakers made a huge change in the summer lineup. They suffered a bad start to the season and their record fluctuated greatly at the beginning of the season. However, under McMillan’s coaching, the Lakers steadily improved in the second half of the season. From this perspective, McMillan does his part.

Then, after these awards were released, a new term “Sloan” began to appear on social media.

Before that, the alliance already had Bobo, Riley, etc.

As the name suggests, this is a coaching system emanating from a tactical system, or to put it in a simpler way, this is a story of a head coach under the head coach who went to other teams to be head coaches and succeeded one after another.

This is also the reason why there is no Phil Jackson department, because Jackson has no other assistants in the NBA except himself.

Even Rambis, who was very famous before, proved embarrassing in the end.

But now, Sloan’s former assistant coaches, or those who taught his basketball philosophy, Kerr, Lue, and now McMillan.

The system has actually come out.

After this batch of awards is promulgated, the curtain of the NBA playoffs will be officially opened.

The game between the Nets and the Celtics will serve as the opener of this year’s playoffs, and it will also be the focus of the game.

According to ESPN’s prediction, this game will become the most watched game in the first round of the playoffs this year.

After all, as the opener, fans also want to see what level the Nets can play in the playoffs.

However, just a day before the opening game was about to start, Celtics player Marcus Smart’s remarks continued to ferment on social media.

That can’t be said to be his remarks, it can only be said to be a recording.

It was a recording of him and his brother discussing Kobe.

At the beginning of the recording, Smart’s brother thought it was a great thing to see Kobe play, and he was looking forward to Kobe’s performance.

Smart didn’t say anything at first.

But this brother also seems to be a loyal Comey. When the topic continued, he also said that Smart should put some water on when defending Kobe.

This sentence made Smart feel a little offended.

After all, he is only a role player in the Celtics, and his playing time depends on hard work.

If he doesn’t give his best defensively, he will get less playing time, and it will even affect his career.

However, the other party is a friend after all. He did not directly blame the other party, but discussed a very sensitive topic: the degree of feelings.

There is no doubt that Kobe is the youth of many people. This is a wave of great feelings.

But feelings are limited.

Some things you can do with your feelings, but some things you can’t, and if you go over it, it will make people feel sick.

He didn’t say anything, but he was obviously referring to this thing from his brother.

That brother may not have reacted at first, and after he reacted, as Comey, he felt disgusted.

Then, this recording of him “accidentally” appeared on social media.

In the United States, don’t think this kind of thing is nonsense.

There has been a very well-known “basketball recording door” in history, which is about Nick Young sharing his experience of cheating with Russell in the locker room.

Every NBA player is a big money, plus the American way of thinking, it is common to mess around outside when you have money.

Even as Nick Young did, it’s a bragging capital.

Of course, this kind of thing is definitely not just blowing it when you see it, but you have a certain degree of trust in the other party, and even treat the other party as, yes, the “brother” in the American population.

But what I never expected was that Russell had the habit of recording for some reason, and the recording was no problem, and it was also spread on the Internet.

As a result, Nick Young’s real girlfriend at the time, the famous singer broke up with her directly.

It can be seen from this incident that American “brothers” are often unreliable.

Smart also instantly became the target of the media and fans.

However, on social media, many people also stood up to speak for Smart, and they felt that Smart did not say anything wrong.

If you need to sacrifice everything for the so-called feelings, then this is really uncomfortable.

……

Brooklyn, Barclays Center.

The Nets are in final practice for the playoffs.

Lin Ying noticed that Kobe started training earlier today than in the past, and he was more invested in training than in the past.

Even after training is over, he has to practice longer.

Lin Ying doesn’t always pay attention to social media like Durant does, but this time Smart’s matter is so big, he doesn’t want to take the initiative to find out, but also passively know.

Of course, Kobe must be the same.

So Lin Ying didn’t think Kobe was like this because the playoffs were coming, and he was somewhat affected by the Smart incident.

After the extra practice with him, he sat down and chatted with Kobe.

At first, I only talked about physical conditions such as injuries, and then about the playoffs with the Celtics, and finally I talked about Smart.

“I know him, he’s a very hard-working player.”

To Lin Ying’s surprise, Kobe actually knew about Smart.

If you say that Kobe knew Tatum, it would be better to say, after all, Tatum had a photo with Kobe very early, and he also prided himself on being a Mamba disciple.

But Lin Ying really didn’t hear much about the intersection of Smart and Kobe.

But Kobe quickly gave an explanation after seeing Lin Ying’s reaction.

Kobe started a basketball training camp after he retired, but obviously, he didn’t pay attention to young players after he retired.

One of the differences between him and Jordan is here. He attaches great importance to the development of American basketball.

Because his experience in the Dream Team is obviously different from that of Jordan. He helped the Dream Team return to the top in 2008, and that experience is destined to make him love the Dream Team more than Jordan.

So he usually pays attention to some potential players.

Smart is one of them.

“He’s a Gary Payton-type player, and I think he has the potential to be a dpoy-level player.”

Kobe Bryant gave his own evaluation.

This evaluation is not low at all.

In NBA history, only Payton can become a dpoy as a point guard.

Kobe Bryant used such words to describe him, which shows that he is really optimistic about Smart.

“Aren’t you angry?”

Lin Ying smiled and looked at Kobe~www.mtlnovel.com~ He knew that Kobe was the kind of person who wouldn’t tell lies, but he was still a little curious.

After all, the impact of this remark is not small.

“Is there anything to be angry about?”

Kobe replied with a smile.

“So you think he’s right?”

Lin Ying asked back.

“Everything has a degree, I agree with that, and if I don’t do my best because it’s me, it will only make me angry.”

Kobe said calmly.

Lin Ying smiled and nodded.

Kobe is indeed such a person, even though he is 39 years old and almost 40 years old, even though his personality has changed a lot, some things in his bones will not change.

“So is this the case?”

“Of course not. Marcus’ child may have great achievements in the future, but now, I will tell him why Kobe is so respected by players.”

Kobe said lightly.

This sentence was a bit pretentious, but Lin Ying laughed again after hearing it.

Kobe is the Kobe he has known since he entered the league.

So he chose to cooperate.

“Even if Kobe is 39 years old?”

“Yes, even if Kobe is 39 years old.”
