This Forward is Not Serious Chapter 213

"Guaranteed to complete the task, sir."

Lin Ying said with a smile, and stretched out her hand to make a symbolic gesture to Durant.

This guy Durant usually looks very rude, but he knows exactly what he should do when.

Was Allen guarded from death?

Then pull Allen to train together!

If you want to use a spear and a strong shield, practice it!

So the same sentence, why did you think Lin Ying asked Alan to engage in Durant, it was really for Durant's good!

After the game was over and returned to the locker room, Lin Ying called everyone, and then asked Su Feng to carry out the prepared gifts.

Those are a few boxes of Moutai.

Yao Ming also sent this thing back then, but it does not prevent him from sending it too.

The Sun and the Rockets are completely two groups of people.

Moreover, wine and paintings are all valuable for collection.

To Americans, Moutai feels like a Chinese collection of precious red wines.

Moreover, it was not available during this time period abroad. Lin Ying asked Su Feng to buy it from China and then shipped it.

There are fifteen bottles in total, one bottle per person.

Collins was the last to send.

"My memory, I also count myself. I will give you more of this bottle."

Lin Ying said and patted her head.

Collins smiled happily, and the look in Lin Ying's eyes improved a lot.

Interpersonal relationships are said to be complicated and complicated, but simplicity is actually very simple.

Add some good feelings, and you will naturally get close.

Lin Ying's "plan" was carried out smoothly.

Moreover, there are surprises.

Just when Lin Ying finished the wine party, Hill actually invited him to be a guest at home!

Most of the members of the Suns have a good relationship with Lin Ying, but Hill has relatively little contact.

It's not Hill's character, but Hill is unique.

Black players are generally "group-type", because of the growth environment, they always like to be in groups and swear words.

Like Richardson, his favorite music is Southern Dirty Music.

So dealing with them is actually easier to get started.

But Hill is very different. He was born famous and has an elegant manner. His hobby besides playing basketball is playing the piano, and his image is extremely bright.

This is also the key reason why Stern can't wait to pick Hill as his successor before Jordan has retired.

Stern was trying to promote the NBA's efforts to shape the image of the league at that time, and Hill was simply the perfect candidate.

However, because of this image, most people have "respect" towards him, and it is difficult to have too much intersection with him.

Lin Ying also tried to talk to him for a few days before, but she was also under some pressure inexplicably.

Because he found that the topic simply couldn't get together.

What you can talk about is games, women, art and paintings that people like!

Unexpectedly, Hill would take the initiative to invite him to be a guest at home this time. This was a very good opportunity.

"Lin, you can, I have never been to Grant's house."

After sitting down, Stoudemire said with some envy.

The two chatted for a while, and soon they talked about the All-Stars.

The All-Star will be until February, but the voting will be divided into several rounds, starting in December, and the whole process will last one to two months.

For example, the first round of voting this year started in mid-December, and the results of the first round will be released by the end of the month.

Here we have to talk about the rules of the All-Star voting. Before the voting starts, each team will report the list to the league and the league will approve it.

For example, this year the Suns reviewed five people, namely Lin Ying, Stoudemire, Nash, Hill and Barbosa.

It is relatively easy to enter this shortlist, because in essence it still depends on the number of votes from the fans.

Sometimes in order to fight for the start, the team will flexibly adjust the registration position.

For example, the current All-Star positions are divided into three: guard, forward and center.

But Yao Ming, the center position in the Western Conference, is basically locked, so like Stoudemire, the Suns report him the forward position.

"Do you say we will start together?"

Stoudemire's ambition is not small.

But Lin Ying nodded afterwards.

This is not to say that their three strengths are already the strongest in the same position in the West, but...the power of Chinese fans!

Look at the situation of the All-Stars in the past two years. In the first year, Iverson and Anthony became the starters because they were on the same team with Lin Ying. In the second year, the conflict between Anthony and Lin Ying was gone.

Unless Stern completely prevents Chinese fans from voting, the number of fans will not be directly decided, but it can also affect the voting results to a large extent.

And Nash and Stoudemire are all-star players, and Stoudemire started last year.

This year, the Suns have a good overall record, and there is still a great chance for the three to start.

And while talking, Lin Ying also had some longing for the All-Star.

Although I have participated in the Rookie Challenge before, the race is obviously different.

The next day, Lin Ying went to Hill's house as a guest.

As soon as he walked in, Lin Ying felt the full artistic atmosphere.

Various paintings and artworks in Hill's living room.

He remembered seeing a piece of news before saying that Hill had also done a touring exhibition of paintings, which seemed to be real.

Seeing Lin Ying looking at the paintings curiously, Hill introduced him enthusiastically.

This is Roman Le Bearton's, and that is Elizabeth Cartwright's.

Lin Ying: No need!

But being able to feel Hill's enthusiasm in his bones, rather than deliberately pretending to be forced, made Lin Ying embarrassed to interrupt.

In an instant, there was a feeling of returning to the university elective class.

However, his gaze was quickly attracted by some group photos in the corner. There seemed to be former US President Clinton?

It's absolutely unbelievable.

Lin Ying felt that if Hill retired immediately and started politics now, he would at least start as a governor.

When he arrived in the study, Lin Ying continued to be influenced by the artistic atmosphere.

There are not many books in the study, but the piano is very conspicuous, and Lin Ying also saw all kinds of trophies on the bookshelf.

Lin Ying had seen many of them, but many hadn't been seen by Lin Ying.

Such as those of the Moral Style Award.

And Lin Ying also discovered a strange thing. These trophies seem to be arranged in a regular layer, but the top one is empty.

At this time, the servant poured coffee for them, and Lin Ying asked curiously after sitting down.

"Championship trophy, if there is a chance."

When Hill said this, he looked there with hope in his eyes.

This was also the first time that Lin Ying felt that the sense of distance between Hill and him finally disappeared.

"Who doesn't want to get that trophy? It's just that fate loves to make jokes with people sometimes."

After saying this, Hill took a sip of coffee, but frowned unconsciously, as if the coffee was bitter.

Lin Ying picked it up and took a sip.

Coffee is very sweet.

"We still have a chance."

Lin Ying put down the coffee and said.

Because of injuries, Hill failed to reach his peak, and there was no such thing as an uncrowned king.

But a person who is regarded as the next leader in the league after his debut, not to mention the championship, is now a first-round virgin, which is so uncomfortable.

"By the way, I prepared a gift for you."

At this moment, Hill suddenly got up and went to the room.

After a while, he took out his gift.

That was something Lin Ying would never think of.

A business card.

Lin Ying took the business card curiously, and was stunned when she saw the name on it.

Tim Grover.

"This is Michael's trainer?"

The name Lin Ying must have been heard.

Not only because he was a personal trainer with Jordan for 17 years, Duffy also mentioned it when he introduced the trainer to him: the "Master" of the NBA trainer.

But the message from Duffy at that time was that the trainer was already in retirement.

Even James did not invite him out.

This is also in line with what Daben said before, the top trainer who can't come out is Grover.

"I have a personal relationship with Tim. If you need it, I can ask you to meet him once. Of course, I can't guarantee that he will agree."

Hill continued.

"there is a need."

Lin Ying replied decisively.

Hill smiled, then sent a text message on his cell phone.

It took some time to reply to the information. Driven by curiosity, Lin Ying also chatted with Hill about some of the trophies he had just seen without specific content.

"It is charitable. My father and mother and I have a foundation. There will always be people in this world who need help."

When Hill said these things, he shared with him some things he had seen, which prompted him to do this.

There are actually two types of charity in the United States, one is for tax avoidance, and the other is true charity.

Hill belongs to the latter.

Lin Ying was also moved when she thought of the things she saw during the community care.

And he also had an idea in his heart.

When we talked about this, the text message came back, and Hill went out to make a phone call, and then said that the time had been arranged.

Grover is currently abroad, and it is estimated that it will be at least half a month later if he wants to meet.

Of course, Lin Ying was not in a hurry.

"Thank you Grant, you helped me a lot."

And he also expressed his gratitude to Hill, from the bottom of his heart.

Hill smiled and did not answer, and then chatted with Lin Ying about the piano again.

Lin Ying: Suddenly I want to go to training.

After leaving Hill's house, the first thing Lin Ying did was to ask Duffy to arrange for someone to set up a domestic foundation for herself.

The main role of the foundation is to help disabled children in China.

Like Hill, thinking back to the disabled children he saw, he felt that he should do something within his power.

The reason why he didn't do it in the United States is simple. He didn't do this to create a media image for himself.

And there are many people in the country, and there must be more people in need.

He will invest in a start-up fund, and will also make a fixed investment every year, and then the foundation will use his influence to raise donations.

Because of his previous life experience, he also made a request to Duffy, that is, all the expenses of the foundation must be made public.

He didn't want his own money, or other people's money, not to be in the hands of those who helped, but to become some people's sports car.

Two days later, Lin Ying received an email from Durant.

It was a file named Westbrook.avi.

He opened it enthusiastically, but felt a little dull after reading it.

Westbrook's training method in it does not seem to be much different from what he is practicing now, but the intensity is higher.

Was it because Westbrook didn't realize his talent in college?

Apparently, we should wait until Tim Grover meets over there.

And he also had to win Grover.

At this time, the results of the first round of the NBA All-Star vote were announced.

Kobe became the top voter in the first round with 690,000 votes.

Lin Ying received 600,000 votes, ranking first among Western forwards!

Anthony ranked second with 450,000 votes.

Stoudemire ranked third with 370,000 votes.

Nash received 430,000 votes, ranking second only to Kobe among Western guards.

Now after the first round comes out, the starting All-Stars of the East and West will be:

East: Iverson, Wade, James, Garnett, Howard

West: Nash, Kobe, Anthony, Lin Ying, Yao Ming

Lin Ying's first reaction after reading the results was that he should canvass for Xiao Sila.

From the previous exchanges, Stoudemire is still quite looking forward to this All-Star Game.

If he is not selected as a starter in the end, it should be a blow to him.

In particular, Stoudemire is very active defensively now, and this blow will inevitably affect his defensive enthusiasm.

So on the second day after the voting results came out, he called Yang Yi and asked him to write an article titled "The Enemy of Huashan: Stoudemire". By the way, he also made him a microphone. , Help yourself to canvass for Xiao Si.

"Don't you make a Weibo?"

During this process, Yang Yi told him something that Lin Ying hadn't noticed.

A certain wave launched the inside version of Weibo ~www.mtlnovel.com~ in August this year, which is actually a domestic Twitter, which was instantly hot.

Just in the past November, it can be used officially.

Now domestic celebrities are squatting on this.

"That must be done."

Yang Yi's reminder was very timely.

If he remembers correctly, 2010 is the spring of Weibo.

With that, it would be much more convenient for him to do some things.

By the way, let Su Feng's kid take care of him.

It is convenient to have a trustworthy Chinese by your side.

In a blink of an eye, the last second of 2009 has passed, and 2010 has officially arrived.

In all, this is already the fourth year since Lin Ying passed through.

I mentioned that the January schedule is difficult, and the specific difficulty is that this month, the Suns will play against many of the "winning list" teams listed before Lin Ying.

These include the Cavaliers, Magic, Rockets, Celtics and Lakers.

It can be said that this is to beat the teams with the greatest hopes of winning one by one.

The Lakers have been in average form recently, but the other teams are all in good form.

The Suns are now adopting a "rest and rest" strategy. If you are not careful, you will probably suffer a losing streak or even fall out of the first echelon.

If the veterans were forced to increase their playing time at that time, it would run counter to the original intention at the beginning.

So the next month will be the real test for these young players like Lin Ying.

Lin Ying even made her twelve-point spirit. Whether the Suns are going to take a three-year plan or will be able to make a wave this year, after this month, they will basically have a good idea!
