i really don't want to play basketball

Chapter 55 [Stern’s “Stage”]

In the darkest moment of the Suns now, Xia Yin stood out as the best rookie of the week and the best rookie of the month, giving the current Suns a shot in the arm.

This is the second Rookie of the Month award for Xia Yin, and if nothing else, this season's Rookie of the Month will be completely won by Xia Yin.

But Xia Yin wouldn't set the flag casually, just look at Stoudemire and Hill, this is the end!

Xia Yin has always adhered to this set of principles of being high-profile and low-key.

After all, Rose is not without advantages. He is the main force of the Bulls and the one who carries the Bulls forward. But Shain is mainly a substitute in the Suns, even though this substitute plays more minutes than the starter.

But he is a substitute after all, these are the two biggest disadvantages.

After injuring Stoudemire and Hill, the Suns also restructured their lineup. Matt Barnes and Jared Dudley will share playing time.

At the power forward position, Boris Diaw became the starter, Brad Miller served as the substitute, and Gortat sometimes played for a period of time.

Gentry also reduced O'Neal's playing time at the right time. At this moment, even if O'Neal is very old, he can still be trusted, even though he doesn't match the Suns.

In the limited time, ensuring his efficiency can also ensure that his chances of injury are reduced, and he can also spare time for the two newcomers to exercise.

O'Neal himself agreed with the team's adjustments.

The outside world has been filled with news that the Suns have injured two generals in a row. Shain's one-on-one incident was once again downplayed. This is what Stern meant.

In the league office, Stern is writing something in his notebook. He is arranging the promotion of the league, which is also a god-making plan.

"Although the Yellow-Green War is a classic game in the league, the Celtics won the championship last year. It is not advisable to team up!"

"Kobe, as No.1 in the current league, finally won his first regular season mvp last year, and got Gasol in a trade in 08.

This year it is time to take a step further. To truly achieve the No. 1 position in the league, the only way is to win the championship, and also to snipe the old guys who are clinging to the team, which is good. "

"James, as the target of strong support, can almost win the regular season MVP this year."

"This year's All-Star Game will be held in Phoenix. We can also arrange for a reconciliation between Kobe and O'Neal. It will definitely increase the ratings and leave a good story."

"The Bulls are also on the rise. As a student of the same class, we can create a saying that Shine is the enemy of his life."

"The Thunder have just moved to Oklahoma and they have to invest in a certain amount of publicity. This is a new force in the future."

"The Suns..."

Stern wrote and drew in his notebook, and when he came to the Suns, he looked embarrassed.

Stern also has a headache for Xia Yin. This guy is not an honest boss, and he has to find something for him to do from time to time.

But when he thinks about the media traffic and the attention from fans brought by Xia Yin, Stern is also sad and happy.

This is also the reason why Xia Yin had another one-on-two news in the game when he suppressed Mosaic.

"This season, the Suns will focus on promoting Shayne. While highlighting O'Neal, they will try to ensure that Shayne can win more awards. There is no hope for Shayne this season. If they rise again next season, they can also give some resources appropriately. "

"Nash... After all, he is the mvp of the two regular seasons. He has driven the running and bombing, and made the reform of the league much smoother. As long as they can get to that position, they will be treated fairly. Let's see his fortune!"

Stern looked at his plan with satisfaction. In his hands, the NBA was moving towards glory and the future was bright.

Just thinking that a new round of labor negotiations will come after more than two years, Stern's mood suddenly turned bad.

"The alliance needs new miracles and growth points. Now is the time of economic crisis. It may not be able to get out of it in two years. I need to prepare early!"

Looking at Xia Yin's photo, Stern was full of anticipation, "Grow up quickly, I have set up the stage for you!"

It is also in this situation that the Suns ushered in their first game in 09, which is also the first game after adjustment.

The Suns host the Portland Trail Blazers.

The injuries of Stoudemire and Hill have a great impact. After all, one main power forward and one main small forward can be considered a strain on the Suns.

In this game, Hill wore a suit and sat on the bench to watch the game, with a sad smile on his face. He was injured again!

Stoudemire also made a special call before the game, "Guys, I'm sorry that I can't fight with you, but I will support you from the hospital bed. Come on, we must win!"

Finally, he hesitated and said, "Wait until I come back!"

Nash turned off the video recorder and said, "Without Stoudemire and Hill, we can still win. We are the Suns!"

Xia Yin echoed in time, "Let's go, let the people of Portland see how powerful we are!"

"Kill the Portlanders!"

Shine took the lead and walked out of the locker room with a large group of people, leaving only 3 veterans, Miller, O'Neal and Nash.

"Are you starting shift now?"

Nash shook his head and smiled, "You are looking down on that kid. No matter what the occasion and any time, he has always said that the Suns are my team!"

Miller's calm face finally changed, "That's such a pity, you didn't win his heart!"

O'Neill opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

Nash smiled bitterly, "Maybe, but our goal is the same, to win the championship! Let's talk about what happens after that in the future!"

Miller nodded indifferently, the same is true for him, the championship is above all else, he, like Nash, has no years to waste.

The three of them walked out of the locker room.

Today's opponent is the Trail Blazers. As a team in a torn city, if the players are not injured, they are not qualified.

It just so happens that the Suns have a miracle doctor, and most of the players who play in the Suns have extended their careers.

These are two completely opposite teams.

The current leader of the Trail Blazers is Brandon Roy, known as the Yellow Mamba, and he indeed deserves this title.

From the moment he entered the league, this guy has been a strong player. Unfortunately, Roy was troubled by injuries and did not play well for a few years. He entered the league in the 06 draft and announced his retirement in 11.

This is a guy who had the same experience as Ross. At the very least, Ross could step into the arena again, but Roy couldn't, he lost his meniscus.

Another main player of the Trail Blazers is Aldridge, also known as Black Ade. His career is very long, and he is one of the few Trail Blazers who has a "good death".

The Blazers center is Oden, who is also injured today.

They also have Batum, Fernandez, and Rodriguez in their team. They are a strong team in the West.

But Xia Yin looked at the Blazers players and laughed.

"This is the most perfect stage, and I am in great shape today. Now is the time to give the Suns another boost!"
