A glimpse of the general picture gives us the whole picture. From the example of Frye, we can see why the Suns are underestimated and why the Nuggets sent Lin Ying to the Suns.

Because in history, apart from Nash and Stoudemire, the Suns really didn't have anyone who could play that year.

The starting shooting guard is Jason Richardson, who racked up statistics in the Bobcats. The starting small forward is Grant Hill, who is 37 years old and about to retire after a serious injury. Center Frye and second-year Robin Lopez take turns.

sit!

And even Nash is already 35 years old and about to retire!

As for the bench, except for Barbosa, who is not as strong as before, the rest are just marginal players.

It's not easy to make the playoffs even in the Eastern Conference with this lineup on paper, let alone the Western Conference.

Then the third one was the one who almost made Lin Ying recognize the wrong person.

Jaren Collins!

Jason, Jalen, the twins are stupid and can’t tell them apart.

It was his brother who made Anderson feel uncomfortable before and gave Lin Ying a plan.

This is the younger brother!

Lin Ying almost thought that he would never be able to take a proper bath in the team again. Fortunately, he was his younger brother.

And after making the distinction, Lin Ying felt that the strategy at that time was more likely to be implemented.

He was still worried about not having a chance to meet Jason!

After the physical examination, Cole asked Lin Ying about his jersey number for the new season.

The team will hold a press conference for them in two days, and they have to rush to make a jersey first.

The reason why I asked Lin Ying alone is because the Suns' No. 9 jersey is very well-known.

Dan Marley is still an assistant coach with the Suns.

But there is a very special thing about the Suns, that is, they have stipulated that they will never retire their jerseys since the 1990s!

Therefore, even though he is better than Barkley, he cannot have his own retired jersey with the Suns.

This is all scorpion shit in the NBA, only one.

According to popular opinion, unless the next Jordan appears, or the Suns break through history and win the championship.

Cole asked Lin Ying if Lin Ying insisted on wearing the No. 9 jersey, it would be okay.

Because of Richardson, Lin Ying had thought about this question before, so Cole asked him and he quickly gave the answer.

Two days later, the Suns held a press conference for the new players.

Lin Ying and six other people went to the US Airways Center Arena.

Some NBA arenas will not change their names, such as Madison Square Garden, Staples Center, North Shore Garden Arena, etc.

But others will be named after sponsors, such as Toyota Center, Pepsi Center, etc.

Some even change the name of the arena due to changes in sponsors.

The US Airways Center is the Arena. It was formerly known as America West Arena, and will be called Talking Stick Resort Arena in the future.

The arena was built in 1992. The top of the arena is octagonal, and the surrounding facilities are almost square. The entrance is recessed inward, and the overall shape is a bit like a beetle. When they went there, the staff at the door were installing new posters.

Nash, Stoudemire, Lin Ying!

"status".

Lin Ying could feel that other people looked at him differently.

All we can say is that the Suns really value Lin Ying!

Especially Zhu Fangyu, who was talking and laughing with Lin Ying, felt that her future in Taiyang seemed to be much brighter.

Moreover, Zhu Fangyu also served as a "tour guide" for others.

Whichever way you go is the training hall, whichever way you go is the locker room, and there will even be some good food and drink.

"I almost forgot, you can't drink alcohol here in the United States."

Zhu Fangyu looked excited when he mentioned wine, but he didn't forget to remind Lin Ying.

Lin Ying smiled and shook his head.

It seems that even playing in the NBA cannot stop Zhu Fangyu from smoking and drinking.

They went to the locker room and sat for a while.

Compared with the locker room at Pepsi Center, this place is more...

simple.

The Suns' owner is Robert Sarver, a banker with few assets and ranked last in the league.

But he is as passionate about team management as Cuban.

When chatting with Cole before, Lin Ying learned that his arrival was closely related to Savor's liking for him.

After they sat for a while, assistant coach Dan Marley came to give them jerseys.

There was a lot of excitement in the locker room.

Although the Suns have no championship in their history, they have a long history as they joined the league in 1968.

Just like the No. 9 jersey that Cole and Lin Ying mentioned before, 5, 6, 7, 9, 24, 33, 34, and 42 are the Suns' legendary jersey numbers.

Of course, as Cole said, these numbers can also be used, it depends on whether you mind being mistaken for a Suns fan when you go out.

7 people, half a team.

Zhu Fangyu, No. 8, he had this number before with the Suns.

Collins, No. 31, chose the same number as before.

Dudley, No. 3, he wore No. 4 in the Bobcats, but switched to No. 3 in the Suns, and he probably had to change his luck.

Channing Frye, No. 45, is different from history. In Frye's history, the Suns wore the No. 8 jersey. Because No. 8 already belonged to Zhu Fangyu, he chose the number he used in college.

Quentin Richardson, number 3!

Tony Allen, No. 9! Because he knew in advance that Lin Ying would change his number, Allen chose No. 9, which is the same number as the Grizzlies in history!

Lin Ying, No. 1!

Lin Ying had already fully considered the issue of jersey numbers when he went to the Nuggets. There were two at most.
Chapter completed!
