This striker is not serious

silence.

There was silence on the Suns bench.

It was like you could hear a pin drop.

Finally it was Nash who broke the silence.

"Paul wouldn't be so unhygienic."

Nash said.

His words attracted a surprised look from Xiao Si on the side.

However, others also agreed one after another.

After all, Pierce's reputation is at stake.

Lin Ying smiled evilly, and then echoed.

In fact, he also saw Pierce disappearing just now.

But Butler's character is really straightforward.

You must have seen this kind of thing and pretended not to have seen it!

And there is nothing we can do about the lack of games.

He had seen the news before, saying that players peed on the towels directly on the sidelines because the game was too urgent.

Well, of course we don’t know if anyone else accidentally wiped it with it.

But this is actually a manifestation of competitive sports. If someone chooses who is willing to hold back to play the game.

Victory, sometimes all it takes is the time to pee/poop.

Gentry came over at this time and called the team members together.

Although there was an unexpected incident in the game, there was no sympathy on the field. Pierce was not here, which was their chance to win the game in one go.

And what they wanted to get tonight has been achieved. Even with Pierce, they still have the strength to compete with the Celtics.

So harvesting the game directly is the best option right now.

After the technical timeout came back, the referee determined that Butler did not make any illegal actions and it was just an accident.

Nothing happened, the game continued.

The Celtics had been relying on Pierce to maintain the point difference before, but now that Pierce is gone, their offensive firepower is obviously no longer enough.

However, the Suns' offensive continued unabated, and the Celtics' substitute Finley was a weak link. Lin Ying scored consecutive misplaced singles.

The difference is widening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The score soon reached ten points.

Two minutes before the end, Rivers saw that there was no hope of victory and it was just an ordinary regular season game. He substituted the main players in advance to end the game.

Just as the game continued, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the players' tunnel.

The crowd burst into cheers.

"Brothers, I'm coming back...eh?"

Pierce finally solved his physical problem. He simply rushed and changed into his long johns and came back. He was preparing to return as the king and lead his team to counterattack.

As a result, there were only bench players on the field?

Is this ending early?

The fans also reacted and their cheers gradually died down.

Pierce returned to the bench with internal injuries.

At this time, his teammates came over to care about his injury, and Garnett told him about the gas leak.

For a time, his surroundings were extremely lively.

…

At the end of the game, the Suns defeated the Celtics 101-88 in an away game and achieved a key victory.

Like the previous game against the Lakers, this victory is equally crucial for the Suns.

Because it helps them build confidence.

If there really is a chance to reach the finals and they happen to meet the Celtics, at least they won't have no chance of winning like before.

In terms of statistics, Lin Ying performed extremely bravely tonight, scoring his first 40+ points in his career.

41 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

In addition to him, Butler also performed well tonight, scoring 18 points and 6 rebounds, and made 3 of 6 shots from beyond the three-point line.

Returning to the locker room after the game, the rest of the Suns got into a fight with Butler.

Obviously, tonight's game made them recognize Butler one more point.

One step closer to them accepting Butler.

…

After the press conference, Lin Ying and Brook met at the entrance of the arena.

Lin Ying was thinking about where to take her for a ride, but Brooke unexpectedly said that she wanted to practice ball control with Lin Ying.

Then, they really found a private training gym.

Brooke changed into sportswear.

Absolutely foul!

He felt his nose was a little itchy, as if something was about to flow out of it.

To put it bluntly, Brooke is seriously practicing with him now.

But this outfit has a special color, and her chest looks like it's about to be exploded by something.

All I can say is that this may also be a worry in dressing!

Brook learned some layups, although his movements were clumsy and looked a bit funny.

Lin Ying moved his attention away from that eye-catching place and looked at her movements.

He suddenly felt inexplicably moved.

Just over a week has passed since the All-Star Game.

Brooke wants to film and then learn some basketball skills?

He could imagine Brook, exhausted after filming, practicing with the ball.

It was at this time that he gained a new understanding of love.

Perhaps it is because of "love" that you are willing to persevere when your body is very tired, just to make the other person happy.

"I'm too tired from playing today, let's go shopping."

After practicing for a while, Lin Ying opened his mouth and said.

Brooke nodded happily.

They went to a car dealership to rent a car and drove to Harrison Avenue.

There are four busiest avenues in Boston, and Harrison Avenue is one of them.

Compared with several other places, the biggest feature here is that it is the largest food center in Boston.

The above was shared with him by Hill.

Hill attaches great importance to the quality of life, and traveling is one of his hobbies.

When they arrived at Harrison Avenue, they did see a lot of gourmet restaurants.

And it’s not just a gourmet store, there is also a food truck called SoWa.Food.T.

Korean BBQ, cheese sandwiches, tacos, French pancakes, and ice cream are all available.

During this process, Lin Ying has been observing.

He soon discovered that Brooke had a special liking for dessert cakes.

Then he silently remembered it in his mind.

Although he doesn't know how to fall in love, he can use his brain.

Instead of asking others what they like to eat, take her to a place with a lot of food, and she will naturally know what she likes to eat.

Then wait until the next meeting and give her some food she likes. It’s impossible for her not to be happy.

His love skills are improving rapidly.

By the time she finished shopping at the food court, Brooke was already full.

She looked a little lazy after eating and drinking enough. When she got back to the car, she lay on the passenger seat and looked at Lin Ying with her head tilted half way.

That soft body curve and that lazy posture have an indescribable aura.

Lin Ying was stunned for a while, and inexplicably wanted to go up and take a peck.

"Let's go to the Shell Theater. I heard there are musical performances there every day."

"Um."

Brooke responded without moving his eyes away from Lin Ying's face.

The Shell Theater, also known as the Shell Open Air Performance Stage, is the largest open-air performance stage in Boston.

It is characterized by its large size. There is a huge grassland in front of the stage, and then it is surrounded by a vast and open riverside linear park.

Just like Lin Ying said, there will be music performances on the stage every night.

Sometimes some local singers even come here to sing.

Especially at night, many people choose to rest on the grass or in the park and enjoy the performance.

Especially in this season when it is not too cold but there are not many mosquitoes infested yet, this is one of the liveliest places in Boston at night.

Sitting on a bench in the park, the two of them were listening to the soothing music on the stage, and their hands were holding each other unconsciously.

After waiting for a while, Brooke was leaning on his shoulder unconsciously.

Then, Lin Ying heard gentle snoring.

Brooke, asleep!

Thinking about it, it's normal. She must be very tired after filming and practicing, and then flying non-stop to Boston as soon as it's over.

Lin Ying took off his coat and put it on her shoulders, feeling warm in his heart.

Oh, damn what it feels like to be in love!

…

The next day, Lin Ying left the hotel with trembling legs.

Eight times, exactly eight times!

He instantly felt as if he had misunderstood Brooke.

Just close to killing someone!

His mind is a little blank right now, and he can only vaguely remember some fragments of yesterday.

After Brooke woke up, he sent Brooke to the hotel.

"Do you want to practice actually handling the ball?"

On the way, Brooke talked to him about the troubles related to big breasts. This was what Brooke said to him with a smile at the door of the hotel.

Then a pile of dry wood was thrown into a fire.

Crackling.

The first time, five minutes.

He still remembered Brooke's evil smile.

"Well, everything is fine, but it's a little fast."

He definitely wouldn't be able to bear such words.

Then, half an hour.

"Yes, there is still room for improvement, but compared to Stan, the time is still a bit short."

This was even more unbearable, so.

Anyway, Lin Ying couldn't remember what happened next.

He remembered falling asleep in a daze, then waking up in a daze, and leading troops to encircle and suppress Heifeng Ridge.

All in all, this is what he looks like now.

My legs are shaking and my waist still hurts a little.

However, I was still happy in my heart.

If nothing else, one more time than Durant!!

Zilong, Zilong, I still beat you after all!

If Durant hadn't had a bad relationship with Monica right now, he would have definitely made a phone call to show off.

Friends or something, this is the most interesting thing.

Moreover, he learned a lot of new knowledge last night! That was something that none of the teachers had taught him before!

But he also verified something.

A woman in her thirties is as scary as a tiger!

Brooke is no more and no less, he is just 30 years old this year.

It was just different from what he thought in his heart. He originally thought that the two of them would get to know each other better before moving on to the topic.

But the truth is that he didn't distinguish the object clearly.

Brooke should have a lot of emotional experience at this age. He was not emotionally mature before, but yesterday the weather, location, and people were right.

But actually this is pretty good.

Once the relationship is confirmed, Lin Ying can directly skip the trial period mentioned in the love manual and directly enter into passionate love.

According to the book, this should be the most critical and sweetest period of love.

Only when this step is done well and each other feels that the other person is their destination, can they possibly enter the palace of marriage.

But this is also the most difficult step.

There are thousands of couples in this world who are passionately in love, but only a few can get married in the end.

There are those who fall at the last step of their eight-year long run, and there are also those who are about to get married but suddenly regret it.

For most people, marriage is just once and requires a lot of consideration.

Of course, those were still a bit far away from Lin Yingdu, and he needed to do something urgently now.

He called Gentry and told him that he was feeling a little unwell and that he would rest in Boston for a while before flying back to Phoenix alone.

If those guys on the plane saw that my feet were weak, I would definitely be embarrassed and sent to my grandma's house.

…

After seeing Brook off, Lin Ying got on the plane back to Phoenix.

Not long after he arrived, Gentry called him, Nash, and Stoudemire to the office.

With just over a month left until the end of the season, it's time to think about playoff standings.

As the season comes to an end, the competition in the Western Conference has become fierce.

The top eight have no more than 5 wins against each other.

Due to their inconsistent performance at the beginning of the season, the Lakers are not even sure of being number one now.

The seventh-placed Spurs, eighth-placed Thunder and ninth-placed Trail Blazers have always won the same games.

This level of tragedy is definitely the worst in recent years.

The sun has also been squeezed to the fifth position.

It's not that they didn't play well, it's that those teams fought too hard to compete for the top half.

The good thing is that the top six and the bottom three teams in the Western Conference have at least three wins. Based on their previous performance, the Suns should not fall out of the top six.

But if you want to go further and compete for the top half, you have to fight like other teams.

None of the Lakers, Rockets, Nuggets, Mavericks, and even the Jazz, who have the same number of wins as them, can easily squeeze through.

So Gentry wanted to ask them some core thoughts on this issue.

After all, the ball is played by them.

Stoudemire's idea is to give it a try, after all, the gap in wins between several teams is not big now.

Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.

Nash's idea is to just stick to the top six, and the reason he gave is very simple.

The strategy of "recuperating and recuperating" has been set before. If we try hard now, we will fall short.

Gentry finally looked at Lin Ying.

His opinion suddenly became important.

"I agree with Steve."

Lin Ying expressed his opinion.

And he gave two reasons that Nash didn't say.

One is the current ranking format.

The difference in wins and losses between the top six is ​​relatively small, which means that if you want to easily pass the first round, you have to at least reach the top two.

Otherwise, nothing is gained except a home field advantage.

The second is uncertainty.

When the victory is so close, it is very likely that we will not make a push in the end, or that we will finish fourth or fifth, and we will still play the Lakers in the second round.

Based on these two points, it is better to continue to play steadily and keep in the top six.

Gentry nodded finally.

Although he didn't directly say how to do it, judging from the subsequent exchanges with Lin Ying, the Suns should be more inclined to seek stability.

And he also said something in advance.

He is going to let Butler play in the next game against the Lakers.

The three-pointers are stable and the defense is active, especially when Tony Allen is playing, it will be more helpful to have an offensive point that can open up the space.

Gentry is actually playing permutations and combinations, Allen and Butler, Richardson and Hill, these are all feasible combinations.

It was at this time that Lin Ying remembered what Kobe said before.

Butler has been with the team for so long, and he also wants to hear Butler's story.
