He didn't know Sloan at all.

It would be inappropriate to ask him to go to such an occasion, right?

"Coach Sloan has praised you more than once. When he scolded Andrei (Kirilenko), he used you as an example, saying that he was far inferior to you. Including the summer when you were traded to Phoenix, the Jazz also kept

I'm working hard. If you come with me, it should make the atmosphere more harmonious. Please help me."

Delong said and made a helping gesture.

This passage contains a lot of information.

First, Delong now really regards Lin Ying as his eldest brother, and his attitude is very low.

Secondly, Sloan also likes Lin Ying!

So Lin Ying's reaction was very surprised. He had never heard that the Jazz was interested in him back then.

However, think about it, the Jazz didn't have much leverage to attract the Nuggets at that time. Just like many people calling Liu Yifei's wife, they could only shout.

Lin Ying asked about the time and found out that it was scheduled for June, when the season was over and he had not yet returned to China to prepare for the Olympics, so he finally agreed.

Anyway, it’s just a trip along.

Moreover, Deron respects him very much now, and he has no reason to refuse such a thing that is easy for him.

…

The playoffs are about to begin, and the league also announced the first batch of awards for the season at this time, including the Most Improved Award, Best Sixth Man Award and Best Head Coach.

The Most Improved Award was won by Holiday of the 76ers.

Holiday basically didn't perform well in the Suns last season, averaging less than 2 points per game, but this season with the 76ers, he averaged 12.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game.

It can be said that there is no suspense about winning the award for such a performance.

The Sixth Man of the Year belongs to James Harden of the Thunder.

Harden averaged 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 49.1%. He is truly a superstar.

The best head coach belongs to Avery Johnson!

Among the three awards, this one undoubtedly attracted the most skepticism.

After all, Carlisle, who has 69 wins next door, should be the candidate who deserves this award.

But obviously, this is a convention, and the best head coach is also known as the "Most Improved Coach".

The Nets went from 58 losses to 56 wins. This reversal of record made it difficult for the media not to vote for him.

And in the second half of the season, Johnson even showed "progress" and developed pick-and-roll tactics for the Nets.

So he deserves this award even more.

On the first day of the playoffs, under Lin Ying's organization, a group of people lurked in the locker room and gave Johnson a champagne bath when he came in.

It was also the first time that the team members saw Johnson's smiling face.

People are not cold-blooded animals. No matter how strict they are, who would feel unhappy when they feel the love and affection of their team members?

And in essence, although Johnson's tactics are a bit monotonous, his on-the-spot reaction ability is a bit poor, and his training is a bit harsh, he still takes his work very seriously.

Rather than saying it is Riley Jr., it is better to say it is Van Gundy Jr.

After playing, Johnson also put away his smile and gave an instruction to the team members.

"Tomorrow, do your best for yourselves!"

…

The next night, the Prudential Center in Newark was packed.

Before the game started, Avery Johnson's award ceremony was held on site.

Nets fans gave him the highest level of cheers.

Although some fans usually complain about him, how can they not be happy when their coach wins the award?

After the award ceremony was over, the scene began to warm up.

It was at this time that an attentive fan on the sidelines discovered that there was zero communication between Anthony and Howard.

The reason for this discovery is that the two of them communicated a lot during the last fight.

It seems that some things have changed slightly compared to before.

The pre-match warm-up is over and the two teams are making their way out one after another.

Heat: DJ Augustin, JR Smith, Caron Butler, Anthony, Howard

Nets: Deron, Jimmy Butler, Lin Ying, Shane Battier, Tyson Chandler

Because Joe Johnson had just recovered from injury, Avery Johnson did not arrange for him to play in this game.

Howard jumped to get the ball for the Heat and the game officially started.

Howard came up and asked for the ball in the paint for a single.

But almost at the same time, Anthony also reached for the ball on the other side.

This made Augustine very worried.

What the outside world doesn't know is that after Billups was reimbursed for the season, the conflict between Anthony and Howard became bit by bit.

Maybe one night Howard felt that he had taken fewer shots, and maybe one night Anthony felt that he had taken fewer shots.

Just like a boxer, after the brain shuts down, punching with the left and right hands becomes very messy.

What's even more terrible is that neither Anthony nor Howard want to get into trouble over the ball rights issue, so there should be no more difficult job in the league than being the Heat's point guard, and that is the ant in the hot pot.

Augustin finally chose to give the ball to Smith.

When there were two options for a question, but the answers were both wrong, he chose not to do it.

Smith is more direct. He can do this kind of questions with his eyes closed.

He gave the ball directly to Anthony.

Anthony played a back-to-the-frame single and then turned around and made a fadeaway jumper.

Battier's blind defense caught up instantly.

"Whoa!"

But Anthony still hit the shot and made a cool move.

Compared with offensive beauty, Anthony is not only one of the best players in the league, but also one of the best.

The Heat come out on top!

After scoring the goal, Anthony turned around to find Smith and gave him a high-five, using his body language to express his gratitude to his younger brother.

When Smith returned from the CBA, he was also the one who advocated recruiting Smith to Miami.

Now it seems that what I did at the beginning has helped me a lot.

He has the final say in Miami!

Deron comes up and picks and rolls with Yi Jianlian and then breaks through and throws.

There was nothing wrong with his choice, but Howard's save was higher than he expected.

"Crack!"

He directly completed a shot!

There was a commotion in the place.

The bounce of the peak monster is 100 million points terrifying!

Fortunately, the Nets' lineup retreated quickly and the Heat's fast break was blocked.

Howard had just completed a beautiful defense, and now he was in position in the three-second zone, expressing his desire to attack with strong body language.

But Smith didn't hesitate and gave the ball to Anthony again.

Anthony caught the ball and made a pull-up jumper.

This time his reaction rate was so fast that Battier's defense couldn't keep up.

"Whoa!"

The basketball hollow falls into the bag!

Anthony hit two consecutive goals in the opening game!

After scoring the second goal, Anthony tapped his head with three fingers and let out a roar.

When he knew that he would face Lin Ying in the first round against the Nets, his body's instinct made him very resistant.

But when the game actually started, he let go.
Chapter completed!
