"Sun, the results are out, the Suns won the No. 1 pick..."

"I saw……"

20 minutes after the lottery meeting, Lin Ri received a call from Chris.

The Suns won the No. 1 pick, which is reasonable.

They are the team with the worst record this year and have the highest probability of winning the No. 1 pick.

"Then I just received a call from the general manager of the Suns. He directly asked when we can go to Phoenix for a trial. He is available at any time."

"So fast?" Lin Ri was a little surprised. The No. 1 pick hasn't even warmed up yet...

"Hmm..." Chris responded without saying anything else, obviously waiting for Lin Ri's answer.

"Then let's go tomorrow!"

Lin Ri thought about it and decided to stop training first and go directly to the Suns for a tryout tomorrow.

Although it will disrupt the current training plan, as long as Lin Ri performs well enough in the Phoenix trial tomorrow and can get Steve Kerr's draft commitment, then Lin Ri does not even need to pay attention to the subsequent joint trial or the

After all the hard work, I went to another team for another tryout.

In this way, the time saved can be used to continue exercising, which will be several times as rich as now.

Lin Ri can still settle this account.

So he immediately decided to stop his current training and go straight to Phoenix.

As for whether he has the confidence to get Steve Kerr to make a commitment... Lin Ri just wants to say that if he can't satisfy Steve Kerr now, then it will be the same if he waits for another week.

He is in great shape now!

"Tomorrow? Okok... no problem, no problem at all, man, see you tomorrow!"

Later, Chris also told Steve Kerr Lin's answer in time.

Steve Kerr, who learned that Lin Ri would come to Phoenix for a workout tomorrow, was so excited that he almost jumped up. He didn't care what Chris said and kept nodding. After hanging up the phone, Steve Kerr

I just came back to my senses, uh...I'm still in New York now and haven't gone back.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, don't panic!

Steve Kerr tried to calm himself down, then took out the phone again, and began to give instructions through the phone. He made more than a dozen calls in a row, which made Steve Nash next to him dumbfounded. He just put down the phone,

He was still mumbling: "Is there anything else I haven't prepared for... I guess there is none..."

Is there anything else that I'm not fully prepared for... You've already asked about tomorrow's lunch box.

Steve Nash listened to his mumbling words and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He really didn't expect that one day, Steve Kerr would be as annoyed as an old woman, even asking how many basketballs would be placed on a basketball cart tomorrow...

Nash really wants to ask, will five basketballs or six basketballs in a basketball car affect Lin Ri's condition? Hello?

However, he could also understand why Cole was so excited at the moment.

The reason is simply that Lin Ri responded very positively to his invitation. If he invites him today, he will have time to come for a trial tomorrow. From this attitude, it can be seen that Lin Ri does not exclude starting his career with the Suns.

Lin Ri doesn't care if Phoenix is ​​a small city...

This is really important.

At least this was what Steve Kerr was worried about at first. He has not forgotten how much talk and energy the Bucks spent on acquiring Yi Jianlian before the 2007 draft.

This is the main reason why he called Lin Ri's agent Chris as soon as he confirmed that the No. 1 pick was the Suns.

He hoped that Lin Ri could see the Suns' determination to get him. Another point was that he also wanted to see Lin Ri's reaction. If Lin Ri was resistant to starting his career with the Suns, then he would also

There will be enough time to find a solution.

Of course, the current situation is what he hopes to happen most.

Lin Ri is willing to come to the Suns.

And the attitude is very positive.

That'll be fine!

Then he naturally has to keep his word. No matter whether he is still in New York or not, since he has said that he can try out at any time, he must do it at any time.

"OK, Steve, the tickets have been bought, let's go back and see the sun!"

If I had to use one word to describe the current Steve Kerr, it would be high-spirited. After this guy got the No. 1 pick, he seemed to have suddenly become many years younger, and his whole person was full of energy!

It has been three years since I became the general manager of the Suns... Do you know how I got here these three years?

…

"the sun!"

"the sun!"

"the sun!"

The day Lin Ri learned that Steve Kerr had sent him a trial invitation, he decided to come to Phoenix for a trial the next day.

There was only one night in between.

Ordinarily, it is unlikely that too many people would leak the news during this period, and not many people would know about his arrival in Phoenix.

But when he appeared at the passenger passage of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport the next morning, he looked up and saw a group of Phoenix fans gathered from nowhere. They were shaking their cheering objects and moving towards him.

Shouting his name, he was really surprised, happy, and a little bit moved.

Phoenix fans are really... passionate!

Lin Ri has only been to Phoenix twice in total, and both times the city brought him some surprises.

"Hey, the sun, you came to the Suns for a tryout, right?" A fan asked Lin Ri as he was waving his hands and approaching them. When he asked this question

, the cheers in the audience suddenly dropped, and all the fans looked at Lin Ri eagerly, waiting for his answer.

Lin Ri did not hide anything: "Yes."

"Then, will you stay here?" Another fan asked, and these fans looked even more urgent.

Lin Ri can't give an accurate answer to this matter. After all, he hasn't had a trial training yet.

However, he smiled and said to the fans: "This is exactly why I am here, let's see what happens next!"

However, even if Lin Ri did not give an accurate answer, this answer was enough to make these Phoenix fans excited.

Like Steve Kerr, they just want to confirm Lin Ri's intentions. As long as Lin Ri is willing to come to the Suns, that's fine. They believe that Steve Kerr will never change after working for a season.

Idea!

Besides, who else can make Steve Kerr change his mind? Among the guys in the 2009 class, who can steal Lin Ri’s limelight?

Therefore, although Lin Ri did not give an accurate answer, this answer was actually no different from a positive answer to them.

What else is there to say?

The Phoenix championship slogan can be put on the agenda!

"This is the charm of the sun!"

Steve Kerr actually arrived a long time ago.

Just kidding, can he still let Lin Ri wait for him?

He had been waiting here for almost an hour in advance so that Lin Ri could see him as soon as he got off the plane...

When he arrived, he also noticed the fans gathered here.

Moreover, he now knows why so many fans knew the news about Lin coming to Phoenix for a trial so quickly.

The main reason lies with him. Yesterday he mobilized a large number of people and issued orders, which made many people busy, and these busy people also made many other people busy.

This was passed on from ten to ten, and Phoenix is ​​so big. It was not difficult for Suns fans to know the news that "Lin Ri was going to come to the Suns for a tryout" in one night.

However, Steve Kerr, who knew the reason, did not let these fans leave.

Instead, he decided to wait at the exit of the passenger passage.

He wants Lin Ri to feel the passion of Phoenix fans for him again!

So far, it seems to be very successful.

At the same time, he once again tested Lin Ri's attitude: he really has no objection to this city!

He finally felt relieved.

Then he took Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash and the Suns' new head coach Gentry, who had only been in office for a few months, and headed towards Lin Ri.

There was no other reason for asking these three people to follow him. He just wanted Lin Ri to know that the entire Suns team, whether it was the head coach or the two core players, had a positive attitude toward his arrival!

"Hey, the sun, you're finally here, we've been waiting for a long time, man." Steve Kerr walked towards Lin Ri and shouted loudly, his tone full of enthusiasm.

Lin Ri hugged him and said with a smile: "Hello, General Manager Cole."

"Man, let me introduce you first..."

Kerr immediately introduced Gentry, Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire to Lin Ri.
