Of course, it can't be Anthony.

"Chauncy, why are you here?"

Lin Ying was slightly surprised when he saw Billups.

Most people choose to rest during the offseason, especially veterans like Billups, who should be at home with their wives and children.

And Billups is still wearing training clothes?

"Come here for some training. Are you here to get something?"

Lin Ying nodded.

The two exchanged a few words briefly, and Lin Ying began to pack his things.

There aren't many things in the closet, just a few jerseys and sneakers, and...

The bottle of expensive red wine given to him by Anthony.

He handed the wine to Billups:

"I can't drink anyway."

Billups didn't refuse, he accepted it with a smile, and then motioned to Lin Ying to sit down and chat for a while.

"Why aren't you at home with your wife and children?"

Lin Ying couldn't help but be curious.

"I'm from Denver."

"ah?"

Lin Ying never expected this.

Don't be surprised, the NBA is a big company, and most people only stay together when training and playing games, and go back to their respective homes after breakup.

If not by chance, would you know where your colleague is from?

Although Lin Ying chatted a lot with Billups, most of them were about basketball.

And they have only played together for half a season.

"My wife and I are both from Denver, but they followed me around and moved back to Denver last season."

Lin Ying didn't expect it now.

However, it is quite reasonable.

When Billups was homeless, he stayed in Denver for two years.

The Nuggets traded Iverson for him again.

Local thinking, this is applicable in many places.

"I saw what you said about winning the championship, and I think I have a good chance."

Billups continued.

Almost everyone in the world didn't believe what Lin Ying said, but they didn't expect that the only few who did were from the Nuggets.

"After joining you, the Suns have the conditions to win the championship."

Billups was talking about the three conditions he mentioned in the locker room last season: a superstar who takes over the game at critical moments, excellent defense, and a united team atmosphere.

The Suns' team atmosphere is one of the best in the league, and there's not much to say about it.

In terms of defense, the Suns rely on individual defense. With the addition of top defensive players such as Lin Ying, Tony Allen, and even Holiday, the defensive strength is not bad.

that is……

"We didn't have a superstar to take over the game."

Nash is the architect of the system and Stoudemire is the scorer in regular time. Neither of them is known for their scoring ability at critical moments.

And Lin Ying said this not to say that the Suns have no chance of winning the championship, but that he feels that what Billups said before does not apply to all situations.

But Billups' answer surprised him again.

"So I said that after joining you, you can become that person and help the Suns."

These words sounded very familiar.

By the way, Karl also said similar words before parting ways.

"Do you think so highly of me?"

Lin Ying said with a smile.

His previous function in the Nuggets was similar to that of Nash. Although he had contributed to the game for two consecutive years, to put it bluntly, it was all a mistake.

Let him take over the game at critical moments?

This is something he has never tried before.

"A calm brain, a big heart, and critical moments are more important than personal abilities."

Billups is very serious.

"Well, that's how I was back then."

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment, and then Billups laughed first.

Damn it, he tricked me!

"So what you lack is not ability, but opportunity."

After he finished laughing, Billups patted him on the shoulder and said.

Just as Lin Ying thought, since Nash and Stoudemire cannot stand up, it is most appropriate for Lin Ying to stand up.

Lin Ying smiled and said nothing.

There's nothing wrong with what Billups said, but the key is that he has to have that ability.

We still have to seize the time to improve our passing control.

In addition, his low-post singles ability must continue to be strengthened.

When these are improved, take over the game at critical moments? It is not impossible!

…

After saying goodbye to Billups, Lin Ying first called Yang Shuyu to make sure she was at school, and then drove there.

After he arrived, he drove the car, put on a peaked cap, and went to the basketball gym.

On the phone, Yang Shuyu said that her training was not over yet.

The basketball halls are all open to the public, and there are many people watching from the sidelines.

After Lin Ying arrived, he directly found an empty seat and sat down.

Because he was wearing a peaked cap, no one recognized him.

He looked towards the field.

There is no "women's basketball team is very soft" as described in the novel. On the contrary, there are dragging, pulling, bumping, grabbing, and all kinds of shouts.

Apart from the lower level, there is not much difference from the men's basketball team.

He quickly found Yang Shuyu and was knocked to the ground by the opponent's pick-and-roll.

Because it was a training match and there was no referee, there was naturally no whistle.

The head coach on the sidelines didn't say anything, and the game didn't pause.

No one helped Yang Shuyu, so she gritted her teeth and got up from the ground and ran to follow her.

Lin Ying did not see any grievance in her eyes, but instead showed a higher fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Lin Ying suddenly remembered many things from the past.

I asked her early on if I could teach her how to play, and then asked her every time.

At the time, he just regarded it as a little girl's whim.

What was the reason for agreeing to come before?

Oh, by the way, I trained with myself once, but I kept insisting even though I couldn't keep up.

This girl really loves basketball.

Before the training on the field ended, there was a commotion off the field.

The source of the commotion was naturally Lin Ying.

Just when he raised his head and looked at Yang Shuyu intently, his cap could no longer block his handsome face, and he was recognized!

Although his popularity in Denver is not as good as Anthony's, it is just not as popular as Anthony's.

They have to sign autographs and take photos, and the game on the field cannot be played properly.

The women's basketball players stopped playing unconsciously and looked to the sidelines.
