Cole, the whole thing is quite artistic.

The two just chatted briefly on the phone because Cole was already on his way to the training facility.

After hanging up the phone and going back to the training hall, Lin Ying stood at the door for a while.

He could feel Durant's enthusiasm during this period, and he almost had to kidnap him to Oklahoma City!

But after all, this choice is related to his entire career, and it cannot be made on a whim.

In total, more than a month has passed since he told Walken Dean to choose one of the two options.

That’s it! At worst, we can defeat the Thunder first and then recruit Durant!

Who told him to tell Westbrook about watching the movie?

When he returned to the training hall, what he didn't expect was that Durant had lost all of his previous anxious look and was instead talking and laughing with Nash.

This is……

Does Lao Na have magical powers?

"Ying, I've thought about it, I want to compete with you to win the championship 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 coming, he patted his chest and was filled with pride.

Lin Ying glanced at Nash, who responded with a wise man's smile.

Oh, the monk's mouth is a deceit!

"Don't we have to defeat Anthony first?"

Lin Ying said with a smile.

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

Durant suddenly became interested.

Speaking of which, the scene of Lin Ying and Anthony rubbing him together in his rookie season is still vivid in my mind.

Now finally, Anthony has squeezed Lin Ying out of Denver, and it's his turn to deal with Anthony together with Lin Ying!

Lin Ying nodded.

Anthony must be defeated, but not only Anthony, but also the Nuggets, Lakers, and championships!

It's still unclear what Stoudemire's thoughts are. If he stays 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 had previously planned to give Yao Ming championship experience!

That's also an extra motivation.

Of course, after experiencing the first two seasons, he already knows the many tests he will face to win the championship, which is not an easy task.

Strength, status, injuries, psychology, luck, etc.

Oh, by the way, speaking of the sun's miracle doctor, the impact of injuries and illnesses can be minimized.

Thinking of this, he became more motivated.

Not long after they trained, Cole arrived.

Even though he was in Phoenix, the fact that the general manager came to him specifically showed how seriously he was valued.

And Cole didn't come alone, he was also followed by Suns head coach Gentry!

Lin Ying was a little flattered.

This was a bigger battle than that of the Nuggets, and the sense of belonging was instantly felt.

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

I still know a lot about Cole and Lin Ying.

He played with Jordan as a player, and after retirement he won two championships with the Spurs. In the future, he will become a coach and work with Curry to achieve mutual success. With eight rings in hand, he is the "child of luck" in the basketball world.

The transaction that had just occurred was a natural topic of conversation for the two of them.

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

Diaw was willing to pay for him in the draft that year, and that was the French magician who had just taken advantage of Stoudemire's injury!

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

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

Had it not been for Kroenke later asking Walken and Dean to keep both of them at the same time, he would have been a member of the Suns last season!

But even if the deal fell through, the Suns still didn't stop pursuing him.

True love without a doubt!

"In a sense, your progress is so fast that we almost can't give you any chips!"

Cole smiled and patted Lin Ying on the shoulder.

This is not an exaggeration. Lin Ying can still perform as well as in the playoffs despite the turmoil, and the transaction value will naturally increase.

"Denver insists on asking for the Golan."

And the reason why the Suns selected Holiday in the previous draft was also found.

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

Holiday fell into that pick, plus he is Lin Ying's junior, so he kills two birds with one stone, why not?

Lin Ying was also very happy after hearing this.

Not only because the Suns value him, but also because...

He will finally have someone to practice with him for extra practice in the future!

Then, Cole also gave Lin Ying an absolutely unexpected surprise.

"After Ben learned about the deal, he finally decided to stay."

"Book?"

Lin Ying didn't react for a moment.

"Ben Wallace."

Big book!

Historically, Ben was traded to the Suns this summer and immediately bought back to the Pistons.

But the situation is different now. Ben was traded in the middle of last season.

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

The interesting result is that Ben averaged 4 points and 6 rebounds per game as a substitute in the Suns last season, and he played pretty well.

The impact of that is that the Suns are more willing to keep Ben, and Ben also has the idea of ​​​​making another move.

Then this wave of transactions directly made Daben make up his mind.

The Suns are naturally very happy, because in addition to paying for the buyout, it also takes up salary space. Wouldn't it be nice to be a substitute?

After all, he is also a championship center. Although he is old, he is still capable of fighting.

And this is a bargaining chip, and there is still room for maneuver at the trade deadline of the new season.

Chatting with Cole, Lin Ying's confidence greatly increased.

However, he wasn't too excited. Paper strength is just paper strength. It depends on the coach how much he can perform.

Coach, Alvin Gentry.

Lin Ying turned around and glanced at the middle-aged uncle next to Cole.

He didn't know much about Gentry.

He is 54 years old this year. The most famous thing in history is leading the team to the Western Conference Finals next season, and then the five years of New Orleans' downturn.

The common evaluation is: first-rate assistant coach, second-rate coach; top-rate offense, bottom-rate defense.

However, the reviews are for reference only.

Just like old Karl, people say he can't defend, but what people are best at is defensive counterattack after flanking.

Therefore, there is no rush to make judgments about Gentry and Lin Ying.

After the conversation was almost complete, Cole introduced Gentry and Lin Ying to each other.

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

The most direct point is that this person speaks in a very clear and resonant voice. He is the kind of person who you will unconsciously pay attention to when he speaks.

Putting aside his coaching ability, this aspect is very suitable for him to be a basketball head coach.

Because the basketball court, especially the NBA, is very noisy, and if your voice is low, the players may not be able to hear you clearly.
