Chapter 193: Lin Ying Changes Numbers(1/2)

You can tell what someone's personality is like as soon as they open their mouth.

"Big Q" Quentin Richardson belongs to this kind of person.

Huobao is generally used to describe people who are very funny.

There is no shortage of such people in the NBA.

The most famous one is O'Neal, who danced in a mask during the All-Star Game, danced with James at halftime, cried while holding Garnett and Pierce after being fined, fought with Barkley in the studio, and made all kinds of funny expressions for the camera. There are endless famous scenes.

;

The next level is like Duncan, who widens his eyes, touches his little head, listens hard to eavesdrop on a tactic, and follows the trend to do a big windmill in place.

Richardson is once again a first-class living treasure.

Because of his popularity, he is not well known to others, but as long as you have contact with him, you can completely feel his character.

Moreover, he was very familiar with her, not only with Nash, but also with other people.

By the way, Nasty is the nickname given to Nash by Nowitzki. Generally, only people who are very close to him would call him that.

And in this section, Lin Ying could completely feel Richardson's burning emotions.

He loves the sun very much.

The reason is because when he first played in the Clippers, Sterling, the Clippers rebounder, was unwilling to give him the contract extension he deserved. The Suns offered him a long-term contract.

Moreover, he has a very good relationship with D'Antoni, Nash, and everyone on the original Suns team.

Especially since he only stayed with the Suns for one season, the best season.

It's like you and your girlfriend you like each other stayed together for a year, and then were forced to separate by your parents. You will never forget it.

Then the current situation is that you have renewed your relationship with such an ex-girlfriend.

Full of emotion and excitement.

Moreover, he also told Nash one thing: he wants to lose weight!

“New York is such a depressing place!”

By the way, he did not forget to sigh.

Just like those who can lead the Timberwolves into the playoffs are ruthless people, those who can stay with the Knicks without sinking are talented people.

The prosperity and extravagance of New York are perfectly suitable to be described as feasting, feasting, and extravagance.

But in fact, Richardson sank, but not completely.

During his four years in New York, he averaged 10+ per game in two seasons and shot over 37% from three-point range.

So he is still salvageable, which is probably the reason why he was able to regain his second youth after joining the Heat in history.

Although the body is damaged, the Taoist heart is still there!

Lin Ying even thinks that Richardson is likely to perform better with the Suns than with the Heat in history.

Without him, just because of that sentence, he loves the sun!

If you can continue to have a relationship, you will cherish it more and you will naturally work harder.

This will be an unexpected surprise for the Suns.

You must know that in the previous four-party transaction, Big Q was a negative asset brought in by the Suns in order to acquire Lin Yingtun.

If this asset suddenly becomes positive, then the Suns' previous transactions will instantly turn a loss into a profit, or even make a huge profit!

That's what Richardson said, and that's what he did.

And in order to strengthen his belief, he even took out his No. 3 Suns jersey from the bottom of the box.

It's like collecting something given by your ex-girlfriend. Not only is it reluctant to throw it away, but it's even carefully treasured.

This is true love!

Moreover, he not only took out the jersey, but also revealed in advance that he would change his number back to No. 3 in the new season!

He wore No. 3 with the Clippers and the Suns for the first four years before he entered the league. After he went to the Knicks, he changed his number to No. 23 because someone else was wearing the No. 3 jersey.

As a result, I don’t know whether it was because I was cursed by that man because of my lack of strength, and my overall performance declined.

Now that he has returned to Taiyang, he is ready to change back.

Bad luck is not just a Chinese term.

It was at this time that Lin Ying fell into thinking: Should he also change his number?

Because to put it seriously, the reason why he chose No. 9 after he went to the Nuggets was because No. 1 was occupied by Smith.

Now that I no longer have such worries about leaving the Nuggets, do I also want to change my number? Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new?

One day later, Lin Ying and Richardson went for a trading physical examination together.

This physical examination is conducted by the hospital designated by the NBA team. Most players go through some routine procedures. Only a small number of players with obvious injury risks will undergo some specific in-depth examinations.

Everyone involved in the four-party transaction has passed the physical examination one after another, and the transaction has been finalized.

Lin Ying officially became a member of the Suns!

There was an episode during which Lin Ying almost recognized the wrong person during the physical examination!

Here is a detail.

The Suns' actions in the free market didn't just complete this four-way deal, they also made some other actions one after another.

First, they traded Allen Tucker to the Bobcats for Jared Dudley.

Both were drafted at the end of the first round in 2007, and neither did much for their respective teams.

One averages 5 points and 2 rebounds per game, the other averages 5 points and 3 rebounds per game, half a catty versus eight liang.

This is a typical "garbage" exchange. If the tree is moved, the dead will be moved, and who will be able to use it if the place is changed?

Then, the Suns signed three more people.

One is to renew Zhu Fangyu’s contract with one year’s basic salary.

A brief overview of Zhu Fangyu’s experience with the Suns:

Because of his mediocre defense, Porter basically sat on the bench in the first half of the season as coach, competing with Sun Yuelaibo for the bench mascot. There were even rumors that he was preparing to buy out with the Suns and return to Guangdong;

After O'Neal was traded and Gentry took over, Zhu Fangyu got some opportunities and occasionally shined.

But overall, he is just a bench player deep in the rotation, averaging 3 points and 2 rebounds per game.

Generally speaking, there is a high probability that this kind of player will not get a contract extension when his contract expires.

Zhu Fangyu has been trained in the NBA for a season, especially the three-point shooting rate has improved significantly. It is time to return to the CBA to kill everyone.

But the Suns kept him.

This starts with a game between the Suns and Spurs last season.

In that game, when Spurs player Roger Mason clashed with Nash and knocked Nash to the ground, he punched Mason without hesitation and decisively.

Of course, the reaction of all the fans was: Sure enough, Chinese people know Kung Fu!

So it’s easy to understand. It’s okay if you’re not good at it, but if you dare to do this to the Spurs, you’ll be one of ours!

This contract is a given.

Of course there is another layer of meaning in it.

Lin Ying became famous when he shocked San Antonio, but fighting is really not suitable for a core player.

Looking at the entire NBA, you have never seen a superstar who became famous through fighting.

Because superstars usually have younger brothers, or bodyguards on the court.

Oakley is to Jordan, Artest is to Matt Barnes to Kobe, JR is to James, etc.

Of course, Lin Ying's current status cannot be compared with these super giants, but for the Suns, Zhu Fangyu is obviously more suitable than Lin Ying if something happens.

The second one was to sign Channing Frye, the No. 8 pick in 2005, with a two-year, $4 million contract with a player option in the second year.

Frye performed well in his rookie season with the Knicks, averaging 12.3 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.

However, his performance deteriorated year after year.

Last season with the Trail Blazers, he averaged only 11.8 minutes, 4.2 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. He was not renewed by the Trail Blazers and was basically eliminated from the NBA.

And it may be strange to say that Frye did not shoot three-pointers at this time. He only made 70 three-pointers in the first four years of his career combined.

But he was spotted by the Suns.

This was also the year in history that Frye signed with the Suns and became an extremely important member of the Suns' rotation.

How important is this? He started 41 of 81 games and averaged 27 minutes per game. Compared to the previous season, he started 1 game in 63 games with the Trail Blazers and averaged 12 minutes per game!

The classic tree moves the dead and the person moves alive.

Of course, the most important thing is the three-pointer issue mentioned earlier. He made nearly 400 three-pointers this year, which was nearly 6 times the number in the first four years of his career combined!

And he also shot a 43.9% three-point shooting rate that put many shooters to shame.
To be continued...
