Filmmaker Phoenix Lin.

Lin Ying really wanted to give herself a big mouth.

How many times have I said, the flag cannot be left randomly!

It's fine now, he's really hurt now.

In the last game of December, the Suns faced the Bulls, who were second in the Eastern Conference, at home.

The game was even more intense than the Christmas war.

Because when playing against the Knicks, the focus is on offense, which is what the Suns are good at.

But when playing against the Bulls, the focus is on defense, which is obviously not the Suns' strong point.

Especially this season, their interior defensive strength is mediocre, and they have absolutely nothing to do against Rose.

In addition, the Bulls' internal and external defense is very balanced, and the Suns have always been at a disadvantage.

But defeating the Knicks gave the Suns a high morale, and no one wanted to give up the game.

Therefore, the intensity of the competition is becoming more and more exciting, and people on the court are overwhelmed from time to time.

It was against this background that Lin Ying sprained his foot after completing a make-up dunk.

Sprained ankle, sidelined for two months.

This is actually unavoidable.

As mentioned before, in the current situation of the Suns, Lin Ying cannot win if he doesn't play more, and he will easily get injured if he plays too much.

This is something that often happens in the NBA. When a strong team's performance is not as good as expected, injuries will always come as expected.

Thinking on the bright side, after only two months of truce, we can still catch up with the All-Stars!

After all, if you are not a Super Saiyan, it is impossible to live your entire career without getting injured.

The key is to have a good attitude.

Not long ago, he advised Yang Shuyi to stay optimistic. Staying optimistic will help you recover from your injuries faster.

To be more optimistic, Caron Butler has already paid his dues, which is equivalent to a "rotation" with him.

To be more optimistic, Butler's injury last season inspired a wave of other players on the team. Maybe his injury this time also inspired the team?

All in all, happiness and unhappiness are the same every day, and being happy will definitely not hurt you.

And it's very interesting to say that within two days of him recuperating at home, the strange number on his mobile phone started to care about him.

"Chinese warrior, I heard you were injured? (′???`)"

Lin Ying didn't want to reply, but this guy confirmed that his number was real last time, and then sent another text message.

"Have a super energetic day, you will feel better soon! (??????)??"

It’s just that this person’s text messages were so unique, and he couldn’t move yet, so he could only watch game videos and stuff, and finally couldn’t help but start chatting with this person.

Because we don’t know any information about the other party, the conversation feels strangely mysterious and inexplicably interesting.

Moreover, Lin Ying didn't want to know the other party's information, he just wanted to make his life more interesting.

It feels a bit like making friends online.

While Lin Ying was recuperating from his injury, the alliance's structure changed again.

Let’s talk about Durant first.

He stepped into Madison Square Garden with the ambition to surpass Lin Ying's single-game scoring record.

Then... as expected, he received a heavy beating from the Big Three.

James scored 40+ triple-double, Wade also scored 30+, the two of them destroyed the Thunder inside line!

After the game, the Thunder management also realized that the Suns' defeat of the Knicks gave others a false impression.

There is only one Lin Ying, and there is only one who can guard James alone. Without good rim protection, he cannot win against the Big Three!

They began to put Jeff Green, whose role was relatively unimportant, on the shelf and began to explore the possibility of trading the rim-protecting inside line.

But just two days later, the Knicks lost again...

This time they lost to the Mavericks.

Nowitzki was in great shape, and with Terry on the bench taking the Knicks for rotation, the Knicks were suppressed throughout the game.

Of course, the most critical thing is that the addition of Chandler has brought qualitative changes to the Mavericks' interior defense. Coupled with Marion's defensive ability, Janeway's breakthrough has been greatly inhibited.

This further illustrates the importance of top rim protectors.

So after these two focus battles, the league's top rim protector suddenly became a hot commodity on the market.

Perkins of the Celtics, Okafor of the Hornets, Dalembert of the 76ers, DeAndre Jordan of the Clippers, etc.

More advanced players like Howard and Bynum are being considered by some teams.

Back to the Suns, because Oberto was diagnosed with a heart problem not long ago and chose to retire, the Suns are also considering reinforcements in the market.

And this time Kerr is targeting a very suitable target, Oden of the Trail Blazers.

Because of Tang Tian's presence, Oden's injuries are better than in history, but only a little.

It is unrealistic to cure the almost congenital long and short legs.

So before the start of this season, Oden had already signed an early contract extension with the Trail Blazers, worth 28 million over four years.

This is the same way the Warriors treated Curry in history.

Bet on Oden and he may recover. If he is healthy, he will make a profit.

But this was what I thought before the start of the season. Now, Roy has had two menisci removed and is no longer as brave as the Mamba.

The Trail Blazers are in urgent need of forwards, or at least forward reinforcements, so Oden becomes an optional sacrifice.

For the Suns, this natural medical center is their biggest trump card. If you come here and have a try on any incurable disease, it might be cured.

Especially this kind of joint, this is what Dr. Carter is best at.

Therefore, the negotiations between the two parties also progressed very smoothly.

If nothing else goes wrong, the Suns can use Butler as a bargaining chip to introduce this No. 1 pick who entered the league in the same year as Lin Ying!

However, things on the Suns side have not been finalized yet, and some transactions broke out in the Eastern Conference first.

First, the Heat reached a deal with the Clippers, using a trade exception to acquire the Clippers' Baron Davis, plus the Clippers' 2011 first-round pick.

This trade is obviously for the Clippers in the first round, so there is a high probability that it will be a lottery pick.

So it feels like the Heat are going to play a big game next summer.

Because it is already known that Yao Ming, Parker, Kirilenko, Tyson Chandler and others will become completely free agents.

And like Anthony, Howard is also likely to opt out of the player option!

It is possible that the Heat will form Anthony + Yao Ming / Howard.

But just when the outside world thought so, the Heat's explosive news immediately made everyone dumbfounded.

Riley, resigned!

This Godfather of the Heat, who single-handedly led the O'Neal trade and helped the Heat win the first championship in team history, actually chose to leave!

The reason for his resignation was quickly exposed by the media: he and team owner Alisson had some differences in team development!

Riley's plan is indeed focused on next year's free agent market. Taking the Clippers in the first round is to save chips. He even plans to send Kevin Martin to the Cavaliers in exchange for another first round.

But because of Wade's departure, Arison is worried about the risks of such a plan.

Because if Riley fails to recruit free agents like he failed to retain Wade, or if those free agents do not opt ​​out of their contracts, then the Heat will be depleted of manpower and money and will be forced to rebuild.

So his idea is to use existing chips to trade directly.

The target of this trade is Anthony, who has long been determined to leave Denver.

After being pressed by Rick Barnes for a few games, Anthony has been playing seriously, producing good performance and data, and his trade value has increased.

Moreover, the Nuggets know that Anthony will leave in the summer, so they are already selling Anthony.

Negotiations between the two parties are also progressing smoothly.

So in the end, Riley and Arison couldn't come to an agreement and decided to leave!

And soon, news broke that he would go to the Knicks!

After Ballmer took over the Knicks, he did not touch those appointed by Dolan for the time being.

First, he needs time to adapt to the team when he first arrives, and second, there are no suitable candidates on the market.

But as soon as Riley resigned, wouldn't this person come?

And now there are three giants in New York. With Ballmer, it has instantly transformed from a puddle of mud into the most attractive place in the league.

Soon, news broke that Riley had officially signed with the Knicks.

Now, the boss, management, and players are all working together, and the Knicks are really going to have a big fight!
