"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 have imagined.

A business card.

Lin Ying took the business card curiously and was stunned for a moment when he saw the name on it.

Tim Grover.

"Is this Michael's trainer?"

Lin Ying must have heard of this name.

Not only because he was Jordan's personal trainer for 17 years, but when Duffy introduced him to the trainer before, he also mentioned it: the "grandfather" of NBA trainers.

But the information Duffy gave at that time was that the trainer was already retired.

Even James went to invite him but didn't invite him out.

This is also in line with what Ben said before, the top trainer who will never leave the mountain is Grover.

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

Hill then spoke.

"In need."

Lin Ying replied decisively.

Hill smiled and then sent a text message on his mobile phone.

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

"It is of a charitable nature. My father, mother and I all have foundations. There will always be people in this world who need help."

As Hill said these words, he also shared with him some things he had seen that motivated him to do these things.

There are actually two types of charity in the United States, one is done to avoid taxes, and the other is true charity.

Hill belongs to the latter.

Lin Ying was also touched when he recalled the things he saw during community care.

And he also had an idea in his mind.

When we were talking about this, the text message reply came. Hill went out and made a phone call, and then said that the time was set.

Grover is currently abroad, so it would be at least half a month before we 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 didn't answer, and then chatted with Lin Ying about the piano.

Lin Ying: Suddenly I feel like 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 him.

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

Like Hill, when he recalled the disabled children he saw, he felt that he should do something within his ability.

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

And since there are more people in the country, there will definitely be more people in need of help.

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

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

He doesn't want his own money, or other people's money, to end up not in the hands of helpful people, but to become someone's sports car.

…

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

It was a file named westbrook.avi.

He opened it with interest, but after reading it, he felt a little uninterested.

Westbrook's training methods there don't seem to be much different from what he practices now, but the intensity is higher.

Could it be that Westbrook just didn't realize his talent in college?

It seems like we'll have to wait until Tim Grover meets over there to see.

And he also had to capture Grover.

…

At this moment, the results of the first round of NBA All-Star voting came out.

Kobe Bryant became the top vote-getter in the first round with 690,000 votes.

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

Anthony came in second with 450,000 votes.

Stoudemire ranked third with 370,000 votes.

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

Now after the first round comes out, the Eastern and Western All-Stars will be:

East: Iverson, Wade, James, Garnett, Howard

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

Lin Ying's first reaction after reading this result was that he should canvass votes for Xiao Sila.

Judging from previous exchanges, Stoudemire is quite looking forward to this All-Star Game.

If he is not selected in the end, it will probably be a blow to him.

Especially since Stoudemire is very active in defense now, this kind of blow will inevitably affect his defensive enthusiasm.

So the day after the voting results came out, he called Yang Yi and asked him to write an article called "The Enemy of Huashan: Stoudemire" and also asked him to be a microphone.

, help yourself canvass votes for Xiaosi.

"Don't you create a Weibo account?"

It was during this process that Yang Yi told him something that Lin Ying didn't notice.

In August this year, Moulang created an internal version of Weibo, which is actually the domestic Twitter, and it became very popular instantly.

Just this past November, it was officially available for use.

Now domestic celebrities are rushing to register for this.

"That must be done."

Yang Yi's reminder is very timely.

If he remembered correctly, 2010 was the spring of Weibo.

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

By the way, just let that guy Su Feng take care of you.

It is convenient to have a trustworthy Chinese person around you.

…

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

All in all, this is already the fourth year since Lin Ying traveled through time.

I mentioned before that the schedule in January is difficult. The specific difficulty is that this month the Suns will play against many teams that Lin Ying previously listed as a "winner list".

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 the championship one by one.

The Lakers are in average form recently, but several other teams are in good form.

The Suns are now adopting a "rest and recuperate" strategy. If they are not careful, they may suffer a losing streak and may even fall out of the first tier.

If the veterans were forced to increase their playing time at that time, it would be contrary to the original intention.

So the next month will be the real test for young players like Lin Ying.
Chapter completed!
