This Forward is Not Serious

Before the Nets began their championship parade, several major events occurred in the league.

One is related to fmvp.

The league announced the introduction of supplementary rules for FMVP: If there is a tie in the first round, a second round of voting will be held.

This is a plan that many people, including Lin Ying, have thought of before. It was finally officially announced, which also means that this sharing of the "Texas Twins" will become a swan song just like Jerry West's previous loser FMVP. .

The other one is related to the Lakers.

According to the Lakers' team doctor, Bosh is seriously considering ending his career early because he suffered a blood clot.

The third thing is related to James.

According to ESPN, James asked the management to strengthen the lineup last summer, but that did not get the attention of the Cavaliers management. In the end, the management only found veteran Pierce for them.

But soon, Cleveland's honest media published an article to fight back against this statement: The Cavaliers acted as an intermediary to ease Pierce's hostility towards James. In their words, they did everything LeBron wanted.

And when controversy arose between the two media outlets, James and his team did not speak out.

This made the outside world begin to doubt the relationship between James and the Cavaliers.

Because a similar situation happened the last time James left New York.

…

Two days later, the Nets' championship parade was held in New York.

Mind you, it's New York, not just Brooklyn.

This time, the Nets' championship parade fully communicated with the New York City Government and canceled the cruise section and changed it to a parade route around New York, starting from Brooklyn, passing through Queens, then entering Manhattan, and finally by the Brooklyn Bridge. Back to Brooklyn!

This is the first time this has happened since the Nets moved to Brooklyn.

From New York's perspective, they saw the rise of the Nets and wanted to use the championship to promote New York culture.

For the Nets, this is a great opportunity for them to further harvest the New York market.

The championship parade started from the Barclays Center.

Then the climax comes as soon as we set off.

Fans were shocked to find that there was a circular photo of Green on the front of the car in the front row.

The content of the photo is the scene of Green raising his hands in surrender in the finals!

Back then, the Suns posted a photo of James crying, and now the Nets posted a photo of Green surrendering!

This is really echoing and complementing each other!

Because they had not received any notice in advance, the first reaction of the New York fans was to be stunned, and then they were excited!

This wave of the Nets has scratched the fans' itch, making them itchy!

And hanging it on the front of a car is more humiliating than being nailed to the pillar of shame in history!

Because this parade is basically equivalent to a parade around the whole city of New York, there are many media and fans in New York, and everyone knows about it!

Green's face fell to the ground this time and he couldn't even pick it up!

It can also be predicted that after this parade, the Nets and Warriors will become real enemies.

If we meet again in the next game, sparks will definitely fly everywhere.

But Nets fans are not worried at all now. Who would be worried about their loser?

…

Los Angeles, James mansion.

As a proud man who signed a nearly 100 million yuan contract with Nike for endorsement after entering the league, James naturally cannot only own a house in Cleveland.

In fact, he owns properties in Los Angeles and New York, all of which are in valuable school districts.

He is not only a player, but also a businessman with great investment vision.

Los Angeles is where his family lives and where his children now go to school.

Since the end of the season, he has been back here to spend time with his family.

So if he really plays for the Lakers in the new season, then after "brothers basketball" and "hometown basketball", this new journey can be called "school district basketball."

"Done?"

At this moment, James and Rich Paul were chatting in the study.

This time, because he was with his family, he didn't drink.

"Everything is going well. The media has already laid the groundwork for leaving. Los Angeles will also convince Chris to retire before you make the final decision. Los Angeles will usher in their new king."

James nodded.

Among all his next destinations, he finally chose the Lakers.

A big part of this is family.

His eldest son Bronny is 12 years old and has also shown good basketball talent. It is time for him to make some considerations for them.

Cleveland has always been a small city and cannot be compared with big cities like New York and Los Angeles.

"What's Kobe's attitude?"

James then asked.

The Lakers are still Kobe's team, and Kobe's attitude is also crucial in this matter.

"Judging from the latest news, Kobe is planning to retire after playing next season."

James nodded at this.

Play with Kobe for a year, and if you have a chance to compete, compete with the Nets.

When Kobe retires, he will become the new boss of the Lakers, and then he can recruit a third giant besides Paul.

Moreover, the Lakers also have Chandler, who has an inside defensive gate, which is not only for the present but also for the future.

…

After the championship parade, Lin Ying followed Swift back to China.

Note that this time I am following, because this time Swift is going to Shanghai for a concert.

There are three concerts in total, and the tickets have already been sold out, and they set a record of being sold out in 30 seconds.

From this, we can see Swift's current popularity in China. With her own strength and Lin Ying's blessing, she is already the undisputed No. 1 overseas artist.

Lin Ying was also stunned by this scene. The fans were much crazier than the fans.

Because this is his first time to hold a concert in China, Lin Ying has to act as a "bodyguard" and also participate in the concert interaction.

So he won't be able to participate in this year's draft.

Speaking of the draft, the quality of this year's draft was much weaker than last year. However, before Lin Ying returned to China, Walken Dean still asked Lin Ying's opinion as in previous years, and this time he specifically asked for insider information.

It seems that the management has no intention of renewing Mahinmi's contract.

This is also understandable. Mahinmi's rotation position in the Nets has always been relatively low, and then catching up with this year's special free market, renewing the contract will definitely not be cheap.

But the Nets don't have much demand for this position. Jokic and a veteran who can support him, and a rookie will be enough.

Lin Ying also gave his own suggestions.

The Nets have the No. 29 pick in the first round of this year in their own hands. They are likely to select insiders with potential: Pascal Siakam, Zubac, and Zhou Qi.

Hey, you read that right, there is Zhou Qi here.

Zhou Qi is talented, and this can be seen. What he lacks is attitude and a suitable training route.

Lin Ying was not sure about the suitable training route, but one thing was that he was confident that he could change Zhou Qi's attitude.

Yao Ming will retire soon. In order for the men's basketball team to remain competitive internationally, in addition to Yi Jianlian, new players must emerge inside.

I remember when Yao Ming helped Lin Ying "pave the way" for the men's basketball team. Now Lin Ying has taken over that role from Yao Ming.

Of course, Lin Ying only added Zhou Qi's name to the list for Walken Dean. As for Walken Dean's final choice, he would not interfere.

Before Swift's concert even started, the 2016 NBA Draft was held at the Barclays Center.

Lin Ying also watched the draft on live broadcast again after a long time.

The guests of this draft are TNT's "Big Four", O'Neal, McGrady, Kenny Smith and Barkley.

After the Nets won the championship as they wished, Barkley returned to the commentary box.

Before the draft started, the four people chatted about everything.

Among them, Barkley started, and several people talked about the famous meme of last season's finals, which was also called McGrady's formula by fans:

"No one can defeat Green before he surrenders!"

Paired with an illustration of the Nets' championship parade, this is simply a second execution of Green.

Barkley also complained about Green's dependence on his teammates, saying that he is nothing without the "Splash Brothers".

Barkley himself is a loudmouth, and since he served as a consultant for the Nets last season, he was also unhappy with Green's verbal spats.

Returning to the commentary box, he couldn't wait to start complaining.

And the cruelest thing is that these complaints from Barkley are all facts...

Listening to Lin Ying's live broadcast also gave me an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

In hindsight, Barkley served as a consultant this year, and the Nets also benefited a lot.

Barkley's current first home team should have changed from the Suns to the Nets.

There were similar complaints from the commentary booth, and the draft had almost begun.

The No. 1 pick was selected by the 76ers, and they selected Ben Simmons as they did in history;

The second pick belonged to the Knicks, who selected Ingram;

The third pick belonged to the Pelicans, who selected Jaylen Brown;

The fourth pick belonged to the Nuggets, who selected Kris Dunn;

The fifth pick belonged to the Suns, who selected Dragan Bender;

…

The Raptors selected Siakam with the 25th overall pick.

With the 29th overall pick, the Nets selected... Zhou Qi!

Walken Dean really chose!

This wave of truth is that the "face fruit" has played a role.

Lin Ying was quite happy to see this result.

Although he can't guarantee that Zhou Qi will be able to play, at least the chance will be greater than in history.

Even if you can only play as a substitute in the end, it's not a loss.

…

Swift's first concert in Shanghai was quite successful.

At the last moment of the concert, Lin Ying appeared on stage wearing a mask to dance with Swift.

At first, fans didn't know it was Lin Ying, and some even lamented that the dancing skills of this single backup dancer were a bit stiff.

Although the distance between the backup dancer and Swift was deliberately widened to prevent the height difference from being so obvious, some people felt that the backup dancer was too tall.

But when Lin Ying took off his mask at the last moment and the two of them kissed together, the effect of the show immediately exploded.

For a professional basketball player who is 2.06 meters tall, dancing is not an easy task.

Especially since Lin Ying had just finished the NBA Finals, he practiced a dance for Swift in a short time. This dog-food showman was so sweet.

After Swift's first concert, Lin Ying returned to the dressing room to remove her makeup. Lin Ying discovered that there was a missed call from Walken Dean.

He called back, and Walken Dean first talked to him about watching Swift live and seeing his wonderful stage performance, and then asked him a question:

"What do you think of Derrick Rose?"

This question was asked suddenly.

And after hearing this question, his first reaction was that the Nets might want to trade Rose.

This is not surprising in theory.

The only thing that can be strengthened in the Nets' current lineup is the outside.

But as analyzed before, other teams are unlikely to be willing to help the Nets continue to become stronger.

Therefore, the Nets' reinforcements are more likely to come from the free market. If it is a trade, Rose is almost the limit that the Nets can trade.

"He is a very talented player and has a lot of fighting spirit. I respect him very much as an opponent, but he has injury concerns."

Lin Ying gave his own answer.

Whether in the past life or in this life, Lin Ying admired Ross.

It is really not easy to fight injuries, face the psychological gap of falling from MVP to ordinary player, and still maintain fighting spirit.

But Rose is actually not suitable for the current Nets.

One is the injury risk he mentioned, and the other is that Rose has not developed his shooting yet, so he can only play as a substitute when he comes to the Nets.

Not only is this too extravagant for a top-paid player, but it's also not a good thing for Rose himself.

And there is one thing he can't say. If he really wants Rose, Rose's contract will expire next season, and he will be almost a minimum-salary player by then, and the cost of signing him will be much smaller at that time.

…

As the free market gets closer and closer, not only rumors begin to spread, but many incidents also further ferment.

For example, between James and the Cavaliers, David Griffin has not contacted James for a long time.

A reporter found Irving, and Irving also said that he had not been in contact with James since the end of the season.

Then the interesting thing is that James was found by reporters in Los Angeles. James said that his agent Paul and the Cavaliers have been in communication and he is very confident about returning to the Cavaliers.

After this series of events, some fans believed that this was the same as Kobe Bryant's forced palace. He was forcing the Cavaliers management to make a deal to strengthen the lineup to fight the Nets. Of course, some fans felt that James would soon join the Lakers to form a new team. The "Jenko" combination that many people never dared to think of before!

Fans can't wait to see what happens next in free agency.

…

A few days later, the free market door that fans had been waiting for for a long time officially opened.

Then on the first day, two shocking news made the fans' eyes wide open.

First, on the Pacers side, Paul George submitted a trade request to the Pacers, and he also designated the next destination for the trade: the Lakers.

Second, the Nets and Bulls reached a deal and acquired Derrick Rose!
