…

The Suns locker room after the game.

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly dull.

In the game that just ended, in the game that they thought they could win and wanted to use victory to strengthen their championship goal, they lost.

Moreover, he loses without any temper.

102 to 121.

The Lakers' three highs, the unsolvable Kobe, and their broken defense.

It was like having a beautiful dream, but it was shattered in an instant.

Even Richardson didn't seem to know what to say to lighten the atmosphere at this time.

The outcome of a game actually doesn't mean much.

Just like when they lost to the Rockets and the Cavaliers before, they all knew that it was just a game.

But when you lose to the Lakers and basically have no chance, a championship?

They suddenly realized that what they had thought before was somewhat unrealistic.

After a while Gentry came, he said some words of encouragement and put the failure on himself.

But that didn't seem to ease the atmosphere in the locker room much.

Lin Ying was the first to get up and leave the locker room.

Stoudemire hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

Instead, Nash stood up and followed him out of the locker room.

"It's just a game."

Nash spoke, and he didn't know whether he was comforting Lin Ying or himself.

There may be more of the former.

After all, for him, he was almost numb to losing.

First there were the Spurs and then there were the Lakers. He is scheduled to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

"I know, I'm just a little bored and want to practice some."

"I'll accompany you."

…

"Bang! Bang!"

The floor made constant sounds as it hit the ground.

Lin Ying is still training on the court, and Nash is already lying on the court to rest.

For him, excessive exercise places too much burden on his spine.

Moreover, this should be the third position he has changed while lying down.

Originally, he thought that Lin Ying would be fine if he practiced more for a while.

Unexpectedly, it ended up being half an hour, an hour, an hour and a half.

This guy has so much energy and nowhere to release it!

Just when he could hardly lie down anymore, Lin Ying finally rested.

Panting and dripping with sweat.

Lin Ying was not training, but simply venting.

However, Nash could feel that Lin Ying's mood was much better than when the game just ended.

It is said that when people are unhappy they want to eat more.

But this is not accurate, because many people prefer to play games when they are unhappy.

So this sentence should be: When people are unhappy, they will want to do what they love.

Training is what Weiying loves.

"I don't think losing this game is a bad thing."

Lin Ying wiped his sweat and then spoke.

"Um?"

Nash didn't expect Lin Ying to say that suddenly.

"At least it's not that simple for us to win the championship. We still have a lot to do."

Lin Ying continued.

Nash looked at Lin Ying in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

"It feels like your mood changes a bit before and after."

Nash said with a smile.

"Well, I just couldn't accept it after the game. Although I don't think we can definitely win now, but at least we should have a chance, but we lost so completely."

"Um."

Nash nodded. This should be what most people in the Suns were thinking at this time.

"But I figured it out now."

Lin Ying raised his head and said.

"Figured out what?"

"The Suns have problems just like the Nuggets, but the Suns' problems have a chance to be solved, but the Nuggets don't."

"So you think the Suns have a better chance than the Nuggets did last year?"

"That's the truth."

Anthony: What, you want to eat shrimp and pig heart again?

After listening, Nash put his hand on his chin, thoughtfully.

There is nothing wrong with what Lin Ying said. Compared to the irreconcilable conflicts between Anthony and Lin Ying, the problems the Suns have now can indeed be solved.

However, it is only relative, it may even be more difficult on the sun side.

The Nuggets are a team with a higher ceiling and a lower floor. If the contradiction is resolved, the chance of defeating the Lakers is not small;

The Suns have a higher lower limit, but a lower upper limit. Facing the Lakers, winning may depend more on the Lakers' own performance.

Just like since the start of the season, they have won all the games they should win, but they have lost against the Rockets, Cavaliers, and Lakers.

"Injuries, strength, condition, tacit understanding, and luck, these should be the necessary conditions for winning the championship."

At this moment, Lin Ying spoke again.

"Luck is not something we can control. Injuries have been avoided as much as possible. The tacit understanding and condition will gradually improve over time, so the most important thing is strength.

This strength does not only refer to paper strength, but more importantly, it should be the strength we can play.

The Nuggets' strength last season was 90, but most of the time it was 80 or even 70.

The Suns' current strength is 80, but we can play 85 or even 90.

We just have to find those ways."

Nash seemed to understand a little bit, but he didn't seem to understand it very well.

"What method?"

Finally it turned into a problem.

"Targeted, this is what I'm thinking of now."

Lin Ying replied.

"How to target the Lakers' top three, how to target Kobe, James, Yao Ming, and even how to target the opponent's tactical weaknesses.

For example, when we beat the Nuggets in the opening game, we targeted Anthony."

This was what he had been thinking about during the training just now, and he figured out the difference between playing for the Suns and playing for the Nuggets.

Nash nodded, he somewhat understood what Lin Ying meant.

Speaking of which, both D'Antoni and Gentry are offensive head coaches.

Rather than targeting their opponents, they prefer to use offense to solve problems.

As long as I score more points than you, I can win the game.

But think about it carefully, their mortal rival, the Spurs, who beat them every time, played very targeted every time.
