This Forward is Not Serious

"AJ is coming?!"

On the plane back to Denver, Lin Ying showed surprise eyes for the first time.

He has thought about being teammates with Durant in the NBA, but Abrams, he really hasn't thought about it!

And speaking of it, when Abrams was selected, he joked with Durant that he was going to help Durant inquire about the military situation.

I didn't expect to help him in the end?

And speaking of the University of Texas, apart from Durant, this super-tempered senior has the best relationship with him.

This really surprised him!

And the next opponent of the Nuggets is the Sonics!

The NBA is so much fun!

...

It's Christmas in three days.

Every Christmas, the NBA arranges some highly popular games.

And for the sake of focus, even only a small number of games are scheduled.

For example, last year, only one match between the Heat and the Lakers was arranged.

This year, the number of games has increased, and a total of three games have been arranged.

That is, these three games still have stories.

Originally, the league's offseason schedule was for the Cavaliers VS Heat and the Lakers VS Suns.

But a new one was added not too long ago.

Who added it?

Nuggets VS Sonics ah!

Lin Ying's performance exceeded expectations, and even threatened Durant's best rookie.

The twin stars from these two NCAA championship teams are fiercely competitive.

Coupled with the recent excellent state and gorgeous play of the Nuggets, and Lin Ying's super popularity in China.

After confirming the eyes, it is a game that Stern will definitely grasp.

Some people say it is wrong!

Isn't the schedule for NBA games made during the offseason? How can we still make temporary arrangements under the name? Isn't that all messed up?

This is the genius of Stern.

Every year he schedules a few races around Christmas that could turn out to be hot spots.

In this way, when it is really approaching, he can adjust flexibly and add the necessary games to the Christmas game.

For most teams, the impact of playing the game one day earlier and one day later is not that big.

The fans will not have any objections. Christmas is already a holiday, and it is too late to be happy after a Christmas game for nothing.

The day before Christmas, Lin Ying met Abrams in Denver who had just passed the medical examination.

The meeting is just a high five, followed by a big hug, and the scene is a little passionate.

Winning the NCAA championship together, and then becoming teammates in the NBA, and it was still a rookie season, it is very magical to say it.

And speaking of this year in history, the Nuggets did trade with the Trail Blazers at this time point!

It's just that the Trail Blazers played Taurin Green.

That's right, the starting point guard at the University of Florida.

Then, because of the butterfly effect of Lin Ying crossing, Abrams' brilliant performance in the finals allowed him to squeeze out Green and go to the Trail Blazers.

Then, he also came to the Nuggets instead of Green!

Speaking of which, Green was just a passer-by in the NBA in history, the kind who disappeared after playing for a year. It's no wonder that Lin Ying doesn't remember him.

But it's also because I don't remember that it caused the surprise now!

The two met and chatted, and Lin Ying also learned another thing by the way. Apart from playing basketball, Abrams was still preparing for a master's degree in economics.

Good guy, this is both style and style!

And it reminded him of a piece of news he had read before.

The Suns finally made it to the finals that year, and then Cameron Johnson, who was in the team, was writing a master's thesis while playing the finals, which caused a lot of discussion.

But this is actually quite normal. For Abrams, he may not be able to succeed in playing basketball. If he really can’t play, he will switch to an economics industry, and he may even become an agent in the future.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if it came out, after all, there are many economic disputes among NBA players.

As far as Duncan is concerned, he has been defrauded of more than 25 million US dollars by his agent in history.

...

The Christmas game is on Christmas Day, so the members of the Nuggets can only spend this Christmas Eve in Seattle.

This also makes many players sad.

After all, Christmas is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China. It must be a pity if you can't be with your family during the Spring Festival.

Of course, Lin Ying was not included.

Oh, and Abrams.

After Durant heard that Abrams was also traded to the Nuggets, he called and asked Abrams to go with him.

And although this is also a rented house, Durant has money because he has to live with a large family, and he lives in a large place.

This year is also really lively.

Sure enough, just like the Chinese New Year in China, there must be a lot of people to have the taste of the New Year.

After eating, several people sat at the dining table and chatted.

That's when Wanda gave presents to the children.

She prepared a bag of knitted hats in various colors.

And these knitted hats are knitted by herself!

This gift is a bit heavy.

There are several colors, red, green, orange, blue.

Durant, Lin Ying, Tony Durant, Beasley.

Four people, one for each.

Because Abrams came temporarily, so there is no share.

Wanda asked Lin Ying to choose first.

Lin Ying originally wanted to say that she could pick the rest, but before he could say anything, Wanda gave him a warm look.

He suddenly remembered what Iverson had said.

Think about the feeling of having a mother, it's so good!

He ended up picking the blue one.

Beasley went on to pick the orange one.

Durant took all the remaining blue and green ones.

My brother was protesting, but Durant quickly responded.

"You won't really wear it if you take it, so you might as well give it to me."

As expected of Durant, his brother also sprayed when he became ruthless.

It is estimated that Tony Durant is a person who pays more attention to the image, and this kind of hat woven by his mother is really embarrassing to wear.

But Lin Ying remembered one thing at this time.

In history, Durant seems to really like wearing knitted hats.

At that time, fans guessed that it was because he was trying to cover up the back of his head, which was beginning to be bald.

But it doesn't seem like it's all that?

After dinner, Durant brought Lin Ying and Abrams to the room, and then took out the gifts for them.

Abrams is a box of AJ shoes! There are about a dozen pairs!

This directly surprised Abrams.

"AJ, I never had a chance to say thank you."

Durant should be talking about the incident when Barnes scolded him and Abrams came to comfort him.

People's personalities are different, but they have many commonalities.

For example, after becoming famous, everyone likes to thank those who have helped them in times of difficulty.

This is more common among blacks.

Abrams burst into tears and hugged Durant.

Abrams went out to try on the shoes first.

"Me first."

After Abrams left, Lin Ying spoke first.

He was afraid that Durant would not be able to accept the gift, so he prepared it for nothing.

After speaking, Lin Ying took out her own Christmas present.

A custom-made suit with diamond-studded buttons and zippers cost over forty thousand dollars.

Don't ask, it means too much money to spend.

Dell's advertisement was very successful before, and Duffy had already helped him sign an endorsement contract with Dell, which was a huge sum of money that could not be spent.

And the purpose of choosing this suit is that Lin Ying wants Durant to improve his temperament.

He looked even more hunched than in college.

It seems that when he seldom played with his mobile phone, this guy didn't listen at all!

Diamond-encrusted suits, is there anything more temperamental than this?

The suit is blue-purple, with a white shirt and a light black tie with white stars.

The reason for choosing this suit is because Lin Ying remembers that Durant's clothes look good in his memory, which is the one he wore during his MVP speech.

Others, wearing him instantly spreads the sense of looking directly at the goods.

Durant is still very excited. After all, he rarely wears a suit. The only official time is during the draft.

And after this upper body, he was indeed a little handsome by himself.

He even took a pair of glasses from the table and compared his poses in front of the mirror, just like taking a photo.

This is the beginning of narcissism!

Lin Ying was very happy to see this.

Just like I said before, buying gifts is also a big learning, and I can feel a sense of accomplishment if I can buy the other party's happiness.

Then, Durant probably felt that he didn't appreciate enough, and ran out directly.

Soon, Wanda shouted excitedly from outside.

After a while, Wanda also came to Durant's room.

She reached out and gave Lin Ying a hug.

"Thank you, you, you must have put a lot of thought into this, thank you."

Lin Ying suddenly felt that Wanda seemed to be crying.

At this time, he also suddenly realized one thing.

On such an important occasion as the MVP speech, Durant's suit...wanda should have chosen it, right?

"sorry."

Wanda also realized that she had lost her composure.

After Wanda went out, Durant came back and gave Lin Ying his gift.

Well, Lin Ying was right in thinking, the moment he took out this gift, he really couldn't handle it.

Because it was a card, and the word "masseur" was written on it.

Translated into Chinese, it is a masseur!

This massage, is it serious?

Because Durant handed it over, he was really worried.

"This is the best massage chain brand in the United States. It has a high-level VIP membership card and door-to-door service. I have tried it and the effect is very good."

Durant emphasized seriously.

Lin Ying took it over.

Don't care if it's straight or not.

He now felt that it was really wise for him to give gifts in advance.

"Really, try it, it's still very useful to ask for a massage after training."

Maybe it was because Lin Ying misunderstood him, so he emphasized after Lin Ying accepted the card.

"I will definitely try it when I have time."

Lin Ying also responded emphatically.

...

The Christmas game, Seattle fans are in high spirits.

And for the first time in the season, the Key Arena was packed.

Fans brought their families and mouths, all kinds of Christmas decorations, and the whole venue was full of Christmas atmosphere.

The Key Arena is the worst arena in the NBA. It can only accommodate more than 16,000 people.

But the Supersonics are currently in a downturn in the market, and half of the arenas with this number of people are often not full.

This is why the owner of the Sonics is determined to move to Oklahoma City, which is more biased.

Because low attendance means losses, who will play NBA teams if there are too many losses.

But this year, it was unexpectedly arranged to play the Christmas war, which was a lot of fun.

The two teams warmed up before the game, and Durant was caught by reporters for interviews before the game.

The Sonics are now doing their best to train Durant, and those who are disobedient will be sent away directly like Petrol.

So Durant will definitely be the focus of the game.

Then the reporter asked Durant a question.

"Do you want to beat Carmelo Anthony?"

The reporter is digging a hole for Durant.

"Yes, I think, I always think, Melo is the player I want to beat the most!"

Durant obviously didn't understand the essentials of Rick Barnes, not only jumped into the pit by himself, but also put the lid on himself.

This wave of reporters was quite satisfied.

No matter how Durant played, he has the news material after the game.

Fortunately, Lin Ying is not Durant's teammate this time, otherwise she would have to vomit blood.

"Lin Huang! Lin Huang!"

Lin Ying was warming up to shoot a three-pointer, as if he heard someone shouting, he shook his hand and shot a three-point shot.

This shameful name, and this familiar voice, he turned his head and squinted for a while, and sure enough, he saw that familiar figure in the front row of the auditorium.

Yang Shuyi! Can we change the name!

Still wearing his Nuggets No. 9 jersey! Still waving wildly there!

For some reason, the more times he saw her, the more he really felt that this little girl was too unlike a girl.

Eh?

Seems like there's more than one person?

He found that there were two middle-aged men with good temperament sitting beside Yang Shuyi.

It seems to be dragging the family?

This is normal, there is no time for a little girl not to spend Christmas with her parents.

And even though both of them seem to be Chinese, they have to follow the Romans.

Yang Shuyi was still shouting, he pretended he didn't see him go to training.

"snort!"

Yang Shuyi pouted angrily.

Since she secretly worked as a physical therapist for Lin Ying, her parents must not know about it.

After pouting, she had made up her mind that next time she was cooking for Lin Ying, she would secretly fill him with a bottle of vinegar!

On the field, after the warm-up, the scene began to enter the opening ceremony.

First the away team and then the home team.

For the Nuggets, Iverson was the first to appear.

The NBA's appearance ceremony also has a lot of tricks.

Although there is no explicit regulation, the order of appearance is very particular.

For example, the first player to play is usually the team's second leader, and the last player to appear will be the team's first leader.

Of course, sometimes it will be the first master, and the last one will be the core and soul of the team.

For example, Wade was the last to appear on the stage of the famous Heat Big Three in history.

And there is another one, players who join in the middle will not be the last to appear.

As for Lin Ying, she was the second one after Iverson.

Well, he finally figured out his appearance.

During the appearance ceremony, apart from the starting players, the substitutes will stand in two rows in front of the bench to form a channel.

Lin Ying got up from the bench, walked to the center of the aisle, and then started to play.

In the first form of Zhu Baquan, the legs are spread apart, the hands are clenched and fisted in front of the chest, and the shoulders are heavy and swinging.

Then a left hook.

Another right hook.

"..."
