This Forward is Not Serious

Cole, it's quite literary.

The two simply chatted on the phone because Cole was already on his way to the training hall.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ying stood at the door for a while before returning to the training hall.

He could feel Durant's enthusiasm during this time, and he was almost tied to Oklahoma!

But this choice is related to his entire career after all, and it is not something he can do with his head.

Counting it, more than a month has passed since he told Walkendien to choose one of the two.

That's it! After the big deal, defeat the Thunder first, and then recruit Durant again!

Who told him to tell Westbrook about watching the movie!

Back to the training hall, what he didn't expect was that Durant had lost his previous anxious look, but was talking and laughing with Nash.

This is……

Lao Na has magical powers?

"Shadow, I think about it, I want to win the championship with you first.

Moreover, I have to win the championship on my own.

After all, I am the man who wants to beat Kobe. "

When Durant saw Lin Ying approaching, he patted his chest with pride.

Lin Ying glanced at Nash, and Nash returned the smile of a wise man.

Oh, monk's mouth, deceitful ghost!

"Don't you want to defeat Anthony first?"

Lin Ying said with a smile.

"Yes! Anthony! Now he is our common goal!"

Durant suddenly became interested.

Speaking of the rookie season, Lin Ying and Anthony rubbed him together is still vivid.

Now finally, Anthony pushed Lin Ying out of Denver, and it was his turn to clean up Anthony with Lin Ying!

Lin Ying nodded.

Anthony is going to beat, but not only Anthony, but also the Nuggets, Lakers, and the championship!

It's still not sure what Stoudemire thinks. If he will stay next summer, then the Suns will have a chance to win the championship in the next two to three years.

This is what Lin Ying must do.

In addition to his own inner desire, he also planned to give Yao Ming championship experience!

That is also an additional motivation.

Of course, after the first two seasons, he already knows the many challenges he will face to win the championship, and that is not easy.

Strength, status, injury, psychology, luck, etc.

Oh, by the way, speaking of the Sun has a genius doctor, injuries and illnesses can minimize the impact.

Thinking of this, his enthusiasm grew even stronger.

After they trained for a while, Cole arrived.

Although it was in Phoenix, the general manager came to him specifically to show the importance.

And Kerr did not come alone, he was followed by Suns coach Gentry!

Lin Ying was a little flattered.

This is a bigger battle than the Nuggets back then, and the sense of belonging immediately rises.

Nash took Lin Ying up to say hello, and Cole soon chatted with Lin Ying.

Lin Ying knew a lot about Cole.

During the player period, he mixed with Jordan, retired and won two championships with the Spurs. In the future, he will be a coach and Curry will achieve each other. With eight rings in hand, he is the "son of luck" in basketball.

The transaction that just happened was a natural topic for the two.

From Cole's mouth, Lin Ying also learned more behind-the-scenes information.

In the draft, he was willing to pay Dior for him, but that was the French magician who just took advantage of Stoudemire's injury!

It's a pity that the Nuggets won by one move, and the Suns also missed him!

However, before the trade deadline last season, the Suns had reached a deal with the Nuggets!

Had it not been for Kroenke to ask Walkendien to keep both at the same time, he would have been a member of the Suns last season!

But even if the trade fell through, the Suns still continued to pursue him.

True love is undoubtedly!

"In a sense, your progress is so fast that we almost couldn't give us a bargaining chip!"

Cole smiled and patted Lin Ying on the shoulder.

It's not that he is exaggerating. Lin Ying can still have an outstanding performance like the playoffs in the turmoil, and the transaction value will naturally increase.

"Denver insists on asking for Golan."

And the reason why the Suns chose Holiday in the previous draft has also been found.

Dragic must be one of the chips, so their draft goal must turn to point guard.

Huo Ledi fell to that position, plus he was Lin Ying's junior.

Lin Ying was also very happy after listening.

Not only because the Suns attach great importance to him, but also because...

In the future, someone will finally accompany him to practice!

Then, Cole gave Lin Ying an absolutely unexpected surprise.

"After knowing the deal, Ben finally decided to stay."

"Book?"

Lin Ying didn't react at once.

"Ben Wallace."

Big Ben!

In history, Big Ben was bought back to the Pistons immediately after being traded to the Suns this summer.

But things are different now. Big Ben was traded in the middle of last season.

The cost of a one-and-a-half year contract is too great, and Sun originally planned to deal with it this summer.

The result is very interesting. Daben averaged 4 points and 6 rebounds per game as a bench in the Suns last season and played pretty well.

The impact of that is that the Suns have increased their willingness to keep the big book, and the big book also has the idea of ​​rushing again.

Then this wave of transactions directly made Big Ben made up his mind.

The Suns are naturally very happy, because a buyout takes up salary space in addition to paying for it. Isn't it good to replace it?

He is also a championship center anyway, although he is old, he still has the power to fight.

And this is the bargaining chip left, and there is still room for manipulation by the trade deadline of the new season.

Talking with Cole, Lin Ying's confidence increased.

However, he is not too excited. The strength on paper is just strength on paper. How much level can be played depends on the coach.

Coach, Alvin Gentry.

Lin Ying turned her head and glanced at the middle-aged uncle beside Cole.

He didn't know much about Gentry.

54 years old this year, the most famous in history is to lead the team to the Western Conference finals next season, and then the five-year downturn in New Orleans.

The public evaluation is: first-rate assistant, second-rate bishop; top-level offense, low-level defense.

However, the public evaluation is for reference only.

Like the old Karl, they said he can't defend, but what people are best at is the defensive counterattack after the flanking attack.

Therefore, Lin Ying did not rush to judge Gentry.

Cole talked about the same, and introduced Gentry and Lin Ying to know each other.

After a few words, Lin Ying also had a first impression of Gentry.

The most direct point is that this person's voice is particularly crisp and loud, and he is the kind of person who you will unconsciously pay attention to when he speaks.

Regardless of coaching ability, this point is very suitable for basketball coaches.

Because the basketball court, especially the NBA, the scene is very noisy, you may not be able to hear the players when your voice is small.

And Gentry was very proactive. After a few words, he took Lin Ying to the side to communicate in depth.

The image of a shrewd and capable coach with a loud voice is ready to emerge.

Counting that when D'Antoni entered Phoenix in 2003, Gentry had already joined his coaching staff.

It can be said that in addition to D'Antoni, Gentry is the person who knows the Suns best.

This is why he took over the mess of last season and can lead the Suns to the playoffs.

After some exchanges, Lin Ying also had a general understanding of Gentry's level.

He is really good at offense.

He fully grasped D'Antoni's set, and he has his own opinions on top of it.

The biggest of them is about positional warfare.

That's why Gentry fully supports the team's trade for Lin Ying.

Because in essence, the Suns and the Nuggets are very similar: both are good at defensive and counterattacks, but not good at positional warfare.

Although because of Nash, you can rely on Nash's personal ability to tear the defense, but there are 48 minutes in the game, which is too tiring.

And Nash is too old now to fight like before.

Of course there is also being targeted.

All opponents know that the Suns' positional battle will start from Nash's point, and it is enough to wear Nash's wool on both ends of the offense and defense.

But Lin Ying will be very different when he joins. He can perfectly share Nash's defensive pressure through misplaced singles.

And the Suns are all top off the ball, and even Nash plays well off the ball.

This is simply how Uncle Na Huang met Lin Kongming, like a fish in water!

Of course, this is only theoretical. How to allocate between the two tactics depends on how Gentry makes tactical arrangements in the new season.

But what is certain is that two points on the court that dominate the ball will definitely be better than one point for Nash.

This can be seen in the effect of Gentry taking office last season and putting Dior back in the starting lineup.

After starting last season, Dior averaged 14.2 points, 5.8 boards and 5.1 assists per game, becoming an important bargaining chip for Lin Ying!

Then, it's defense.

There are also places where there is a discrepancy with the rumors.

Gentry is really bad at defensively, but it's not that he doesn't understand!

Before discussing this topic, let me make two main points:

1. Average points per game and defensive efficiency.

There are two situations in which points per game are averaged: one is that the defense itself is poor, and the other is that the number of possessions is high.

The sun belongs to the second situation.

So looking at the defense of teams like the Suns and the Nuggets depends on defensive efficiency.

The Suns' defensive efficiency has always been the upper-middle level of the league.

In the three peak seasons from 04 to 07, their defensive efficiency in the league was 16th, 13th, and 11th.

You know that defense was still the main theme of the league at that time, and an offensive team had this ranking already pretty good.

2. Defensive methods.

Different defensive methods will also lead to huge differences in defensive data.

The easiest way to improve defensive data is to grind the position.

Choose five defensive positions, the classic Pistons mode, you will be dying, and the defensive efficiency of the league will burst.

But the Suns' style of play is obviously destined to not be able to play that way. They just avoid positions and play fast.

So their defensive efficiency is destined to have nothing to do with the team's defensive system, but to rely on... individual defensive ability!

This is also the importance of Marion, Bell, Quentin Richardson to the Suns.

Of course, this is another key reason why the Suns are so enthusiastic about Lin Ying.

Compared to Dior, a player who was selected as the second defensive team in a rookie season will greatly improve the defense of the Suns!

Having said these two points, let's talk about the defensive problems of the Suns.

With a large number of rounds and relying on individual defense, it is destined that Nash and Stoudemire will always be targeted by opponents.

Lin Ying said that Gentry understands defense, but also because Gentry mentioned these key points during the exchange between the two.

But understanding, and being able to do well are two different things.

If the goal is to be a championship, this is where Gentry needs to find a solution in the new season, or at least find a way to cover it up.

After talking with Gentry, Lin Ying has a basic understanding of the team's coaching ability, and also has a deeper understanding of the Suns on the basis of the previous.

Of course, he is also more fully prepared for the situation that may be faced next season.

The Suns definitely have a chance to rush to the championship, but not only are their opponents strong, but they also have their own weaknesses, and the difficulty is also great.

There is hope, challenge and strength!

Lin Ying felt that her enthusiasm had increased again.

...

Lin Ying's turn back, as expected, caused a wave of turbulence on social media.

The reports of various media have their own focus:

"San Antonio Times": The result of the Nuggets infighting has been determined, and Ai Lin Ying has been swept out one after another.

"Denver Daily": Thank Lin for his contributions to Denver in the past two years, and wish him all the best in Phoenix.

"Phoenix Sports News": Welcome to Phoenix, link!

"Basketball Pioneer": Lin Ying joins the sun, or help Nash complete the championship dream.

A certain wave: Phoenix, the rise of Lin Huang!

Fan discussions are endless.

Those who have feelings:

"A team that reached the Western Conference Finals traded the team's No. 2 player? A sophomore star who played G4 against Puma Kobe was sent away with a backhand. Surprised!"

"Business is just business, how important is money for a championship!"

There are cheaters:

"Huomi is happy, next season will be the Lake of Fire War in the West!"

"Hu Mi is delighted. Last season, Lin Ying shocked people in a cold sweat. This is all right, the Nuggets will become harmless to humans and animals!"

"Prickly is happy, Lin's retribution is coming, it's okay to distribute Phoenix."

Anger:

"If you can't accommodate even a second-year player, who else can Melo accommodate? Just want to win the championship?"

"It's another boring capital operation. Melo went into the playoffs and sent Lin away with a backhand? Don't even think about the championship. Slowly appreciate it."

"Before, I always complained about Melo, and felt that the media was biased against him, but now it seems that poor people must be hateful!"

But there are also more exciting ones!

"I have a hunch that the Suns will become a dark horse next season, and they may even beat the Lakers!"

"I'll just ask you, did Gentry have a bad record after taking office? Was it bad?! Now there are more Lin, Allen and Daq! Call out those five words out loud!"

"Low-key, don't milk, hold on, don't wave!"

"Barkley: I don't even think the Suns can make the playoffs in the new season!"

"I think you look down on my Emperor Lin? First destroy the Nuggets, then slaughter the Lakers, step on the Green Army, and directly ascend the throne!" Comment from "Lin Ying Trumpet".

"Your Lin Huang, the king of the world!"

"Fuck it! Even if that man comes today, he can't stop it!"

...

It's so busy~www.wuxiahere.com~ It's so lively.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Lin Ying. After talking with Cole and the others, he immersed himself in training with Nash.

If you have the motivation, if you don't want to lose the air in the end, you must work harder.

After two years in Denver, he knows how difficult it is to win the league with the yellow and green on the top of his head.

On this day, an unexpected guest came to the arena.

A fat man who is obviously a little blessed.

And as soon as he came in, he shouted excitedly at Nash:

"Nasty, your Jordan is back!"
