…
"Lin, you are so hard today!"
"You're hard too!"
"No, you are still tough."
"Each other."
In the shower room after the game, Lin Ying and Stoudemire were still discussing the match against Duncan in the game.
To be honest, Xiaosi was really shocked by Lin Ying today.
It's not about ability anymore, it's about courage.
Duncan has been famous in the league for a long time and is basically destined to be the number one power forward in history. Not everyone has the courage to challenge him.
What's more, Lin Ying suddenly decided to confront Duncan head-on without communicating with Gentry.
If he was abused, he would definitely be scolded by Gentry after the game.
So it can be said that what Lin Ying did today was like a god in front of his eyes.
But there is nothing wrong with it. If you dare to challenge Buddha, then you are a god!
Of course, this was also the time when they knew each other, and Xiaosi hadn't had time to understand what Lin Ying was doing in Naa.
If he understood, his reaction to what happened today would most likely be:
Well, it’s okay, it’s something Lin Ying would do.
After taking a shower, Xiaosi and Lin Ying walked out of the locker room together.
He was still chatting with Lin Ying about the details of guarding against Duncan in the last quarter.
This is so sweet that I can't stop tasting it.
Lin Ying also answered enthusiastically.
When they went to Stoudemire's house before, the two talked about the championship, and the final unanimous answer was that they needed a three-year plan.
But now Xiaosi's attitude makes Lin Ying feel that this plan may be moved forward.
"Leandro, when did the two of them become so familiar?"
In the locker room, looking at Stoudemire and Lin Ying coming out of the shower wrapped in bath towels, Nash couldn't help but turn to Barbosa and ask.
He remembered that during the summer training trial, Xiaosi didn't even say a word to Lin Ying. Why does it feel like he is more familiar with Lin Ying now than he is with Lin Ying?
"It should be when we don't know."
Barbossa said seriously.
Nash couldn't help but laugh.
Barbossa is still funny.
"Isn't Amare very interested in Chinese culture now? Moreover, they were asked by the coach to train defense with Ben. It's normal to get familiar with it."
Barbossa continued.
All joking aside, Brazilians are very serious.
Nash coughed for a while. It turned out that he saw Lin Ying and Xiaosi were still chatting while changing clothes!
The world is declining.
"By the way, Steve, there will be an AC Milan game in a while, would you like to watch it together?"
Barbossa spoke.
The two became friends because their hobby is football.
As a Brazilian, he is a loyal fan of Ronaldinho.
Especially since AC Milan is the last game of Ronaldinho's career, there are games that he doesn't want to miss.
"Who to hit?"
"Inter!"
"That's a must!"
The two of them were already chatting animatedly, laughing from time to time.
Before finally parting ways, Barbosa couldn't help but hug Nash.
Brazilians are also very enthusiastic.
When they heard laughter, Lin Ying and Xiao Si couldn't help but turn their heads.
When he saw the two hugging each other, Stoudemire instinctively resisted.
Lin Ying knew that Xiao Si had expressed his disgust towards homosexuality when he went to his house before.
Unexpectedly, Nash and Barbossa hugged each other!
Lin Ying also coughed for a while.
However, he remembered the unfinished business before and had to find a chance to have a good relationship with Jaren Collins!
By the way, this Christmas, he also happened to give out some unique gifts.
Just add the favorability buff directly to the group!
At this moment, Marley came over and invited Lin Ying and Stoudemire to attend the post-game press conference.
…
Gentry was very happy.
At the press conference after the game, the joy on his face could not be hidden at all.
His happiness wasn't just because the Suns defeated their old rivals, the Spurs, on the road.
He never thought before that Stoudemire would defend so hard!
Although the last paragraph proves that the defensive effect still needs to be improved, judging from his defensive attitude, the future is promising!
Of course, what made him happiest was the confrontation between Lin Ying and Duncan at the last moment.
Whoever cuts a sword and stands upright, I am the Phoenix Lin Emperor!
If it weren't for the schedule, he would really want to try to see what odds his current team has against the Lakers.
And he really fell in love with Lin Ying.
Strong enough to take on the front, able to handle big things!
At the previous press conference, when Stoudemire was asked about defensive issues by reporters, he said that Lin Ying made him change his mind!
Lin Ying went to Duncan to convince Xiao Si to change his mind. To simplify it, Lin Ying made Xiao Si change his mind. There was nothing wrong with it!
So after the press conference, Gentry went to Lin Ying and told him something.
The team will have a community care event in the near future. Because it is a small area, the team originally planned to only let Nash and Barbosa go.
But now Gentry wants Lin Ying to go with him.
This is not the first time Lin Ying has heard of community care activities, nor is it even the first time he has participated.
During certain periods, such as Thanksgiving, the NBA will hold specific Thanksgiving community activities in arenas across the league.
Basically, the arena distributes some food and gifts to the fans, and the players act as staff.
This kind of activity is actually quite popular.
However, this event will be special because it is a caring event for children with disabilities.
This activity is uncommon, but necessary.
For example, in history, the Jazz even signed a one-day contract with a child with leukemia. These operations are very helpful in improving the team's image and increasing community influence.
Lin Ying agreed.
From the donation made by Wenchuan back then, we can see that he is a kind-hearted person.
Two days later, Lin Ying attended a community event with either Nash or Barbosa.
They first went to some families with disabled children.
What surprised Lin Ying during this process was that Barbosa was very popular in the community.
It can be said that wherever he goes, people are looking for him to take photos and take photos, and his popularity is not even inferior to that of Nash.
That's understandable.
What fans like is not necessarily the team with the best statistics.
Just like the team led by Curry in history, Livingston and Iguodala are also very popular among fans in the Bay Area, second only to the Splash Brothers in popularity.
Barbosa has played for the Suns for 7 seasons, played and won the Sixth Man of the Year award, and contributed a lot to both Western Conference Finals.
Coupled with his unique Brazilian humor, it should be surprising that he is not liked by others.
After caring for some families, they then went to a training hall, where the team had gathered some disabled children who were interested in basketball.
In the training hall, they met a legendary figure:
Kevin Lauer.
This name is very common, but it has special meaning because he is the first disabled player in history to enter the NCAA Division I league.
This is an incredible achievement, because according to statistics, the probability of entering the NCAA first-level league from an American high school is only 1% every year.
Many short players entering the NCAA can be called inspirational, but Laue is no longer inspirational enough to describe it.
Really, let me give you a hand.
Therefore, during the whole caring activity, the three of them were more like audiences, listening to Laue share his experiences with the disabled children.
When he was still a fetus, the umbilical cord was wrapped around his left arm and neck.
Right after he was born, the lower half of his left arm had to be amputated due to blood blockage and necrosis.
However, if the umbilical cord had only been wrapped around his neck, he would have probably been stillborn.
So in a sense, it was his left arm that saved his life.
"It's a pretty good deal, isn't it?"
Laue's words also caused laughter from the audience.
Lin Ying intuitively felt an emotion called optimism from his words.
"I fell in love with basketball, it made me know the meaning of life."
Disability will inevitably make people feel inferior, but fortunately God opened a window for him, and his height is very good.
When he was still a freshman in high school, his height had reached 2.03 meters.
This may be the charm of sports, which can give some desperate people the meaning of life.
However, this young man who is only 20 years old has experienced a very bumpy basketball career.
He was expelled from the school team when he was a sophomore in high school because, as an inside man, it was difficult for him to fight against those big men with one arm.
"I can't give up because I know that if I give up myself, no one can save me."
Lauer was much stronger than he thought. He returned to the school team through his own efforts and became the team captain.
Many people were moved by his story and became his fans. He also appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 2007 and became the "Most Touching Player".
He also thought he had attracted the attention of many Ivy League schools.
But like some authors who like to use swords, he encountered another bad news in his senior year of high school.
He suffered a leg fracture at the beginning of his senior year and almost didn't play football throughout his senior year.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for him to enter the NCAA Division I league.
But he still did not give up. He passed the excellent trial training and joined the Military Academy to study as a preparatory student. Then with his outstanding performance, he received a scholarship invitation from Manhattan University, and finally successfully joined the NCAA Division I!
"Never believe in fate, and never accept everything passively. Only by working hard can you get what you want."
Laue's last words drew applause and cheers from the audience.
Lin Ying also looked at this one-armed boy.
In fact, many people will say what is the meaning of sports, and this may be the best explanation.
Because there is no threshold, it may be the life-saving straw when you are most desperate.
Of course, from a scientific perspective, exercise can cause the brain to secrete endorphins, making you feel happy and positive.
Later, Lin Ying and the others worked with Laue to teach these disabled children how to play basketball.
When it was almost over, Lin Ying suggested exchanging signed jerseys with Laue.
Of course Laue would not refuse. Lin Ying is now a rising star in the NBA.
Of course, Lin Ying made a request to Laue when exchanging jerseys.
Just write down the last sentence he said.
Because in a sense, this coincides with what he is doing now.
Different from being passive and giving in during the two years in Denver, this time Lin Ying has become much more proactive in pursuing his dreams.
He is also working hard to get what he wants most.
After the event, Nash and Barbosa asked Lin Ying if they wanted to watch football together in the evening.
After going through the experience of Anthony inviting him to play ball, he almost blurted out:
"Is this ball serious?"
This immediately caused Nash and Barbossa to look at each other in panic.
"It's serious, it must be serious!"
"Football, what do you think it is?"
Seeing the two people's reactions, Lin Ying couldn't help but cough.
I didn't say it was inappropriate or nervous.
Lin Ying had not had much contact with football before.
It is strange to say that football and basketball have a large audience in China, but there are not many people who like both sports at the same time.
Even if a certain person is in the majority in the circle you are in, the minority will be discriminated against.
Although Lin Ying didn't quite understand, he didn't refuse.
After all, they are all balls!
Of course, the most important thing is that he feels this is an opportunity to strengthen relationships with his teammates.
The relationship with Stoudemire is progressing well, and Nash needs to follow up.
After all, in order to compete for the championship, the relationship between these two people must be good.
When watching a football match, naturally you have to prepare something to eat.
People here in the Americas like to eat pretty much the same thing when watching football, usually French fries, fried chicken, burgers, etc., and then drink some cold beer with it.
Lin Yingze bought some melon seeds and drinks.
Before the game started, Barbosa started talking to Lin Ying about melon seeds.
Lin Ying also learned that the people who love eating melon seeds while watching football are not from China, but from Spain.
By the way, Barbosa also learned about some of the things people in other countries like to eat when watching football.
Brazilians are really passionate and they really love football.
They watched the game at Nash's house.
So Nash would take care of his two twin daughters from time to time.
I have seen these two daughters Lin Ying on TV before, and Nash also brought them to the press conference before.
They are all very cute.
In fact, it is very simple for football stars to bring their children to a press conference, because this is work. Sometimes the wife and children are waiting at the scene, and the children want their father to take care of them because they have not been in contact with them for a long time. They can’t leave work behind, so they take them with them.
Moreover, the press conference is already boring, but it is more fun to do it with children.
But seeing Nash coming and going, Lin Ying didn't notice his wife.
Why aren't you here this late at night?
Lin Ying couldn't help but asked curiously.
"He went to get his hair done. He will probably come back later."
"Do……"
Lin Ying coughed for a while.
He suddenly remembered a rumor in history, which seemed to say that Nash gave birth to a black child? The child seemed to be Barbossa's?
Barbossa is right next to him, which is a bit too much.
Unless Barbossa's shadow clone is almost the same.
"Why don't you give me a call and show your concern?"
Lin Ying couldn't help but remind him.
"Reminder? No, no, we will give each other private space, just like watching a football game, and she usually won't ask."
Nash waved his hand, not forgetting to share his experience with Lin Ying,
Chapter completed!
