Lin went to Mercy Arena early the next morning.

Steve Kerr dumped all the trainers under contract to Lin Ri.

Starting from this day, everything from Lin Ri's daily training to his diet was taken over by the Suns' trainers.

Speaking of which, the "logistical support" aspect of the Suns is indeed top-notch. Shaquille O'Neal suffered from injuries when he was with the Heat, but he played as many as 75 games this season when he came to the Suns!

Only missed 7 games...

Do you know how exaggerated this is?

Since entering 2000, there have been a total of 9 seasons so far. This season with the Suns is the season with O'Neal's highest attendance rate.

Even when O'Neal won three consecutive championships with the Lakers, his attendance rate was not as high as the season that just ended!

My legs no longer hurt, and my waist doesn’t count. The “old shark” is no longer withered, but has become several years younger. From this, we can see how outstanding the Suns’ team doctors and training team are.

This is not an isolated case...

Stoudemire's serious knee injury was able to recover so well without affecting his explosiveness and jumping at all. In addition to his own amazing physical fitness, it probably has a lot to do with the "logistical support" of the Suns.

There is also Grant Hill, the famous "Glass Man" who played 70 games in his first season after coming to the Suns. In the season that just ended, Grant Hill never had full attendance in his 14-year career.

!

Lin Ri was quite relieved when he handed himself over to these guys.

What Lin Ri is currently eager to increase is his strength and his tonnage. These are the two most obvious differences between him and Stoudemire.

He also stated these two requirements in his communication with the Suns' trainers.

After the exchange, these trainers quickly came up with a training plan, and "the sun upgrade plan" was officially launched!

Lin Ri's life began to become repetitive and boring again.

But again, looking at the increasing experience points on the data panel, Lin Ri didn't find this repetitive boringness unbearable at all.

After training like this for about three or four days, Lin Ri unexpectedly received a call from James Harden.

"Man, are you in Chicago? I'm already here, let's meet up sometime!"

"Ah, what are you doing in Chicago? The combine?"

"yes……"

"Oh, Steve Kerr is already planning to pick me, I..."

"Beep beep beep beep..."

I hung up the phone before I finished speaking. Do you think James Harden is irritating?

Lin Ri thought for a moment, laughed evilly, and sent a message to James Harden: Come on, James! Although there is only one No. 1 pick, there are still four positions in the top five.

Um……

No news at all...

This guy can't afford it~

Boring~

Lin Ri pretended to get no response and continued training without any interest.

After training in the evening, Lin Ri received another call from Jeff.

"Hey...oh...excuse me, excuse me, boss, excuse me!"

Then there was no news from Jeff either.

Ha~man!

…

"It was revealed that Steve Kerr tried out with the Sun in advance. According to insiders, he has reached a private agreement with the Sun!"

"There is no suspense about the No. 1 pick in 2009? The Sun has recently started training at the American West Arena."

"The Suns training team has been in contact with Lin Ri, and there is no surprise about the No. 1 pick!"

As Lin's visits to the American West Arena have increased, major media outlets have gradually reported more on him.

But what's interesting is that neither Lin Ri nor the Suns' management have kept silent about this matter. Any reporters who tried to get answers from the two of them failed.

Until the 2009 joint trial was held in Chicago as scheduled, both Lin's team and the Suns management were absent from the trial and answered all media questions with practical actions: We have indeed reached a private agreement.

Therefore, the Suns will not try out any other newcomers, and Lin Ri will no longer accept trial invitations from any team!

This is undoubtedly bad news for those players who want to become the No. 1 pick through trials and for team management who are holding on to their last hope and trying to pick up Lin Ri.

But now the done deal is done. All they can do is change direction immediately. Players who want to be the No. 1 pick should stop thinking about becoming the No. 1 pick now and rush to grab the remaining second and third spots in the first round. As for the

Before the joint trial, I was still thinking about picking up Lin Ri's team, but now I have to quickly look at other newcomers.

But as a result, the starlight of this joint trial suddenly dimmed a lot...

The 2009 draft was originally considered a poor draft year by many experts. Because of the emergence of Lin Ri, the quality of the 2009 draft was raised to a higher level.

Now that Lin Ri is absent, the standard of this joint trial has naturally become the level of a "young draft year".

Even when the management of each team on the sidelines looked at Blake Griffin and Hasheem Thabeet and their exaggerated physical talent data, they unconsciously thought: The Sun's data in this area have become terrifying again.

What does it look like?

Steve Kerr must have been in a great mood when he tried out Lin Ri, right?

These guys are still extremely longing for Lin Ri at this time, just like the ultimate old licking dog who says "Promise me, let him be gentle, it hurts...".

However, although the starlight suddenly dimmed, some surprising situations also occurred in this year's joint trial.

Take James Harden for example. In the bench press session of the joint trial, he completed 17 consecutive 84kg bench presses!

In addition, Stephen Curry, who is thin and thin, is also very good in this event. He has completed 11 consecutive bench presses of 84kg...

These two guys, a "little fat guy" and a "little skinny guy", performed better than most inside players in this link. This is something that many media and experts did not expect.

James Harden, who was already doing very well in the draft, has attracted more attention now.

The general managers of teams with high draft picks who originally wanted to pass up Lin Ri, but now realize that it is basically hopeless, began to pay more attention to him.

Stephen Curry's outstanding performance in this link has caused some teams that were originally worried about his confrontation ability to begin to re-examine this thin-looking sharpshooter.

Start seriously considering the possibility of this guy becoming the next Ray Allen...

In the end, James Harden received a trial training invitation from a total of 7 teams. Except for the New York Knicks, the Clippers and the Suns who did not come, they did not send him a trial training invitation. The other top ten teams all sent him invitations.

Received a trial invitation.

This made him very happy.

He instinctively wanted to "share" the good news with Lin Ri, but when he thought of the sentence Lin Ri sent him, "Although there is only one number one pick, there are still four positions in the top five," he silently put away his phone.

, there is absolutely no need for us to add this trouble to ourselves!

Jeff also performed well in the joint trials and received trial invitations from four or five teams.

Of course, although there are many, there are not many teams that want to select him with their first-round picks, and even the first-round picks they can get are the kind of picks at the end of the first round.

However, even with such a late first-round pick, it is still a very good result for Jeff, who has been only ranked in the second round on draft prediction websites.

Speaking of which, for the two and a half core members of the Sun Devils, the one who benefited the most from defeating "five-star North Carolina" was none other than Jeff.

Starting from the second half of March Madness, Jeff's stable open shooting ability attracted the attention of many strong teams that held late first-round picks. For these teams whose core lineup and main team were already almost matched,

What they need is this kind of rotation tool player who can hit the ball in the open space.

Trading a late pick in the first round for a newcomer who can average 5 to 6 points per game next season and shoot about 50% of open shots per game is a completely non-losing choice for the management of these teams.

.

However, if we really want to say who stands out the most in this joint trial, it must still be Blake Griffin.

With a beast-like physical fitness coupled with outstanding strength, he was as dazzling as the sun in this joint trial.

This also led to a lot of media advocating for him after the game.

"With a beast body and outstanding talent, is it really impossible for him to challenge the No. 1 pick?"

"ESPN reporter Bill Simmons: This would be a bad choice if the Suns didn't try out Blake Griffin in the end!"

"One failure does not mean everything, Blake Griffin should be taken seriously!"

It's a pity that these articles did not achieve any significance.

The day after the joint trial ended, Phoenix's local newspaper "The Phoenix Herald" directly responded to these advocacys about Griffin and the sun with "The reason why we see the moon is because the sun is resting."

The team's absence from joint trials was questioned.

You can tell what this article wants to say just by looking at the title - the reason why you lament Blake Griffin so much is because you haven't seen the Sun's trial training data!

The attitude of the "Phoenix Herald" was also interpreted by many media as the attitude of the Suns management.

It seems that the Suns are determined to choose the sun!

However, it is also because of the firm attitude of the "Phoenix Herald" that some experts are curious about what kind of performance the Sun played in the Suns' trial training, so that the Suns can be so determined that they no longer invite anyone.
