After taking the makeup photos, there is only the last week left before the NBA media open day. The arrival of the media open day also means that the NBA preseason is about to begin.

In the last week, Gentry officially determined the Suns' starting lineup for the new season: point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Jason Richardson, small forward Trevor Ariza, power forward Lin Ri, and center Chris Chris.

Humphries.

The substitute rotation is led by Stephen Curry and Goran Dragic, playing a pure "run and gun" system with a dual point guard lineup.

…

"Ah~ my knees!"

On October 14, the day before NBA Media Open Day, the Los Angeles Clippers' scream made them the headlines of major media the next day...

"Blake Griffin, the No. 2 pick in the first round of 2009, suffered a patella stress fracture in his right knee and may be retired for the season!"

"Overtrained? Blake Griffin is injured, the second Griffin Oden appears?"

"Will the season be reimbursed? Blake Griffin team: We will conduct conservative treatment and not perform surgery!"

Well...yes, Blake Griffin, who wanted to prove that he had the ability to become the No. 1 pick in the new season, collapsed the day before the media open day.

Although it is still uncertain whether he will be reimbursed for the season, one thing is for sure, he will definitely not be able to play this year.

Even with conservative treatment, it will take at least 2 to 3 months to heal.

The mentality of the Clippers management has collapsed.

The mentality of Clippers fans has also collapsed.

David Stern was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

Because the schedule for the 2009-10 season has been announced.

In order to create a buzz, he arranged the first game of the Suns preseason and the first game of the regular season to be against the Clippers...

As for why it was arranged so early, well... who knows if there will be some "parallel import" between the two of them!

After all, there are not many players with their style of play who become mere dunkers after entering the league.

In order not to waste the popularity of these two guys.

David Stern deliberately moved the meeting of the two of them forward.

I didn’t expect that!

He had calculated everything, but he never expected that Griffin would be injured for the season the day before the media release day!

What the hell, are you playing with me?

David Stern’s favorability for Griffin is -1,-1,-1…

Lin Ri was also asked this question.

"I'm sorry to hear the news and hope he recovers soon."

Lin Ri is really sorry.

Originally, when this year's Suns schedule came out, Lin Ri was quite happy to see them playing the Clippers in the first game of the preseason and the first game of the regular season.

If you want to know what your progress is now, you must find a reference.

Isn't Griffin the best choice?

It took a lot of effort to deal with him in the NCAA before...

If he can be dealt with easily this time, it means he has really made progress.

It's a pity that such a good sandbag actually leaked sand... I had no choice but to replace it with another sandbag.

Griffin: Are you speaking in human language? I am the co-author and I am reimbursed for the season. Is this what you regret?

Moreover, he was a little "low-key" during the off-season. He did not go to the joint workouts and only played one game in the summer league. Unexpectedly, some idiot experts began to advocate that "Blake Griffin also has the ability to become the No. 1 pick."

I have been holding back my energy for a long time to beat the shit out of Griffin in this game, and then stuff it into the mouths of these guys...

Why!

The more Lin Ri thought about it, the more pity he felt.

He looked quite lonely like this, and when the media noticed it, they immediately thought that Lin Ri was "cherishing the hero" and felt sad that Griffin was reimbursed for the season.

The rookies in this year’s class are really cute!

…

However, it is a pity that the Suns' first preseason game is an away game against the Clippers and the schedule cannot be changed.

The morning before the game, Lin arrived in Los Angeles with the team.

After packing his luggage at the hotel, Lin Ri was still in good spirits. After all, he played a lot of away games in the NCAA, especially during the "March Madness". He had to change cities after every game, using the NBA's

To describe the schedule, it would be six consecutive away games.

And this game against the Clippers is the first away game.

Feeling relaxed.

He originally planned to meet Jeff.

You've come to Los Angeles, why don't you give him a big blow?

But when I checked the schedule, I realized that the Lakers' first game was also an away game, and this guy had already flown to Chicago with the team.

Pity.

After thinking about it, Lin Ri called James Harden again.

In the past month, this kid has often come to him to "complain", saying that the team doesn't value him and wants him to play as the sixth man, and that it is best for him to practice without the ball. Anyway, his tone is full of grievances.

Thinking about it, after all, he is a famous star of Arizona State University. It is really heartbreaking to encounter such a harsh environment at the beginning.

So whenever something happens, Lin Ri likes to call James Harden to comfort him.

No way, this is the enviable alumni friendship of Arizona State University!!

"Hey, James, Gentry said he would give me 30 minutes of playing time tomorrow, and he wouldn't be happy if I played less. What do you mean..."

"Beep, beep, beep!"

Look!

Look!

What a comfort!

James Harden didn't even wait for him to finish saying this before he went to training with full motivation.

Lin Ri felt that he was a master of comfort.

After enjoying the simple happiness Harden brought him, Lin Ri asked his assistant coach for a list of Clippers players and analyzed it himself.

Although the Clippers are missing Blake Griffin, this team still has Chris Kaman, Drew Gooden, DeAndre Jordan and a bunch of inside players waiting for him...

Although the main players of many teams will not play for too long in the preseason, Gentry has already told Lin Ri that his playing time will not be less in order to allow Lin Ri to adapt to the rhythm of NBA games.

Lin Ri didn't care.

It's not a problem for a 19-year-old boy to do it eighteen times a night, so why does he care about this mere 30 minutes?

But if this happens, given the poor behavior of the teams in the preseason, he might have to compete with every big man on the Clippers team.

Adhering to the old saying from our ancestors, "Know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in any battle." Lin Ri felt that it was necessary to study each guy.

You must not be careless. You must know that careless eating... carelessness will cost you Jingzhou!

The Clippers just traded Zach Randolph, and now Blake Griffin is out for the season again. This has caused their originally slightly crowded fourth position to suddenly be short of manpower. In Lin Ri's view, he

He will probably face Drew Gooden in every preseason game.

Height 2.08 meters, weight 113kg...

Well, I have a height advantage, but my weight is 3kg less than his, so I shouldn't have an advantage in terms of strength, so it will take some effort to get in position.

The technology is relatively balanced...

In other words, there are no outstanding points. In this case, I have to be more aggressive.

His defensive ability is only mid-range at the fourth position, he has mobility, but he has a bad habit of being distracted...

Lost your mind?

Seeing this, Lin Ri also had a rough idea of ​​tomorrow's offensive and defensive matchup tactics with Gooden.

Then he continued to look at the information about the Clippers' next player...

——The sun, are you busy? Can I come to your room?

When he was almost finished reading the information about the Clippers players, Lin suddenly received a text message from Stephen Curry.

--bring it on.

Lin Ri sent a message back to the latter.

He guessed that this guy was nervous again.
To be continued...
