This Forward is Not Serious

Lin Ying who said this... was a little flustered!

As a time traveler, he had heard some of the news that Carl said that Curry would be abolished.

Although the truth of that matter is not yet conclusive in the end.

But after chatting for a while, he knew Carl was joking.

Karl appreciates his passion for playing, a quality that fits well with the Nuggets.

And he also expects Lin Ying's pass to help the team in the new season.

When talking about this, Lin Ying suddenly recalled this Nuggets team, or Karl's style of play.

Nuggets track and field team.

Yes, the fans called the Nuggets that.

Carl's style of play is relatively advanced, frantically pinching the ball holder to force a mistake, and then playing a defensive counterattack.

So you look at the highlights of the Nuggets, it's basically a fast break show.

But this Nuggets team lacks a good passer.

Both Iverson and Anthony are scoring players, and last season they still had Steve Blake.

But if he remembers correctly, Blake can't keep this summer because of the salary space problem.

The starting point guard in the 07-08 season in history is Anthony Carter...

This old Carter played in the NBA for 11 years, and he played more than 30 starts for the Nuggets this year.

And at this time, he is no longer at his peak, and he is not necessarily better than Smash Parker of the Lakers next door.

It can be seen how stretched the Nuggets' guard line is.

So what Carl said was really not a compliment.

Isn't Lin Ying's most outstanding ability in the NCAA is passing the ball, especially the ability to pass the fast break!

No one stipulates that the pass must be passed by a defender, and the speed of the pass from the inside must be faster.

So looking at it this way, it is completely reasonable for the Nuggets to choose him, and it is quite appropriate!

He is the last east wind that Karl was waiting for!

After talking on the phone with Karl, Lin Ying suddenly felt that her future in the Nuggets would be bright.

After floating for a while, he calmed down.

Old Carl's ability to fool people is even more terrifying than Barnes.

It is more practical for him to fight steadily and strive to become the main force.

The Nuggets started Anthony, Nene and Martin in the frontcourt.

Forget about Anthony, if he wants to start, he has to squeeze out one of Martin and Nene.

Thinking about it is not an easy thing to do.

After talking on the phone with Carl, Lin Ying and Durant returned to the scene of the draft.

They found Abrams and sat with him.

Randy Williams was already there.

Although finishing Crazy Three means that the group of them will go their separate ways.

But just like what Lin Ying said before: Crazy Three's experience will be a wonderful memory in their lives.

That will always be there.

At this time, the first round of the draft has ended, and after a short break, it will be the second round.

For Abrams, it was previously predicted that he would be selected with the 51st pick in the second round.

It is no longer Stern who is broadcasting the second round, but Matt Tatum, the vice president of the league.

Lin Ying has an impression of Tatum.

Speaking of which, like many fans, he also complained about Stern's successor Xiao Hua.

And because he is doing data analysis, he has a deeper understanding than others.

That includes Tatum.

Because Tatum not only plays basketball by himself and loves basketball, but the key is that he is of Chinese descent.

His mother is from Shantou, Guangdong, who grew up in Vietnam!

"When my mother raised me from an early age, she would instill Asian and Chinese values, awe, humility, and hard work, and these characters and virtues have influenced me to this day."

Lin Ying saw a report at the time, and this sentence left a deep impression on him.

In fact, compared to Silver, Tatum and Stern were earlier, and in theory he should take over more.

But in the U.S. side, unless there is force majeure, it is impossible to let a person of bad blood become the president.

Think about the encounter between Vasani and Kobe in history. The biggest reason Kobe's parents don't like Vasani is that she has Mexican ancestry.

Watching Tatum's broadcast at the moment really gives people a very humble feeling.

The second round of the draft has only 3 minutes of preparation time, so the process is also faster.

In a blink of an eye, he has reached the 40th overall pick.

"With the 40th overall pick in the second round of the NBA in 2007, the Los Angeles Lakers chose... Sun Yue, a 2.02m point guard, from China."

At this moment, Lin Ying remembered what Su Feng said before.

It seems that the Lakers did not work hard in the end.

Otherwise, if he is selected by the Lakers, he can still be teammates with Sun Yue.

"With the 42nd overall pick in the second round of the NBA in 2007, the Portland Trail Blazers selected AJ Abrams, a 1.80-meter point guard from the University of Texas."

Abrams was picked!

Moreover, it is still the 42nd overall pick.

That's nine picks higher than draft projections.

It seems that the key 2+1 in overtime gave him a lot of extra points!

Abrams also jumped up when he heard the news.

Before he had time to hug Lin Ying and the others, he had already trotted towards the stage.

Although it is very difficult to stay in the NBA with the 42nd pick, there is at least one chance.

and……

"AJ is going to be teammates with Oden?"

Lin Ying spoke.

Durant just reacted.

The "battle" between him and Oden did not end with the end of the draft.

On the contrary, in their rookie season, they are still the most powerful contenders for the "best rookie".

Speaking of this, Lin Ying was also quite curious to what extent that old Chinese doctor could help Auden.

If the effect is really amazing, he really wants to know it.

...

After the draft was over, the three of them separated temporarily.

Each of them has their own business.

For example, Duffy is going to take Durant to discuss the sneaker contract with Nike.

The sneaker contract of a super rookie is definitely not something that can be resolved in a day or two.

Unless it is a phenomenon-level rookie like Iverson and James who can get a super contract before the draft, otherwise this kind of thing will have to be discussed for half a month.

The first negotiation will involve Durant.

Abrams and former cheerleader "queen" prepare to open a room to celebrate alone.

Lin Ying's words, his uncle held a small party for him.

Although he didn't like such an occasion very much, he still went to participate.

After all, this uncle is his only relative in this world.

And the party celebration is also a routine operation. Durant will also hold his private party when he returns to Washington tomorrow.

His scale will be much larger than Lin Ying's.

When Lin Ying followed her uncle to the room, as soon as he entered, the sky was filled with ribbons and cheers.

Being selected by the NBA, even if it is only the second round, is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the entire family.

Not to mention No. 9 picks like Lin Ying.

If it were someone else, those relatives who couldn't reach the edge would come to celebrate.

Who doesn't like a rich man in the family.

But because Lin Ying only had one uncle, the people who came were basically some relatives of his uncle, and some of his friends.

Of course, there were also some party girls who looked pretty young.

Lin Ying didn't know them, but she gave Uncle Zu some face and greeted them with a smile.

After going through the process, he sat on the sofa to rest.

It's just that because he is the protagonist tonight, people always come to say hello to him from time to time, and then come to drink a glass of soda with him.

In the United States, the legal requirement is that you must be 21 years old to drink alcohol.

It's also why NBA players don't go to bar parties to celebrate after being drafted.

That's tantamount to telling the world I'm breaking the law.

Although Lin Ying stayed here in the United States for two years, she basically never saw anyone who hadn't drunk before the age of 21...

The more forbidden you are, the more people drink. Curiosity killed the cat.

Of course, Lin Ying would not drink on this occasion, because the law is governed by the local jurisdiction, even though he is Chinese, he is also bound by American law.

After staying for a while, he felt a little stuffy, so he went to the balcony to get some fresh air.

There is a lot of traffic outside, and the lights are feasting.

New York is so bustling.

It's no wonder that the Knicks have a record of diarrhea all year round and still sit firmly at the top of the NBA in terms of income.

This place can best describe those four words: luxury and luxury.

At this moment, the door behind Lin Ying opened.

He turned to see a party girl approaching.

He frowned slightly.

This is really impossible to hide.

"Hello, I'm Cynthia Dickel."

The girl introduced herself, smiled and held out her hand to Lin Ying.

There was no light on the balcony, and Lin Ying saw the girl's face through the moonlight.

What a delicate model face.

"Lin Ying."

Out of politeness, Lin Ying also reached out to shake Dicker's hand.

"I'm a model and I've done some photoshoots for Sports Picture."

Dicker walked up to Lin Ying, leaned on the railing and said.

As expected, she was a model, so Lin Ying's judgment was fine.

And the figure under the moonlight is a bit foul.

Sports Illustrated?

Lin Ying looked back and gave the girl a thumbs up. This is not an ordinary party girl.

Most people can't access the sports screen.

"Thank you, can you surf? When I was in my hometown, I loved going to the beach."

Dicker also looked a little nervous.

She also looked about 20 years old.

Lin Ying shook her head.

It's a bit embarrassing to say it, he has never seen the sea in his life.

Dicker smiled awkwardly, then looked straight ahead.

"It's so beautiful here, even more beautiful than my hometown."

"Where is your home?"

Lin Ying asked.

Dicker turned his head when he heard that, and smiled.

She thought that Lin Ying could not speak English.

"Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil."

Brazilian model?

No wonder, there is nothing else in that place, except that there are many models, and there are many supermodels.

The most famous one is Ji Niangniang, 400,000 per step.

One side of water and soil supports one side of people.

"Your hometown is China, right? It's a very mysterious place."

"It's not mysterious, it's beautiful, more beautiful than this."

The topic of hometown was considered a formal chat between the two of them.

During the chat, Lin Ying knew that Dicker took model photos not only for her own career, but also donated a large part of it to the Children's Welfare Foundation in her hometown.

This made him feel a lot better about Dicker.

When the two were chatting about the same, there was a burst of cheers in the room.

After a while, the balcony door was pushed open, and a familiar face appeared at the door.

Durant was also taken aback when he saw Lin Ying chatting with Dicker.

"Sorry, I'll come back later."

After he reacted, he was ready to retreat.

"No, we're almost done talking, here's my business card, we can surf together if we have a chance in the future."

As he spoke, Dicker handed Lin Ying a business card.

Lin Ying accepted it.

Dicker smiled at Durant as he walked to the door and headed back to the party.

"Damn, how did you do that?"

Durant came up with an expression that you can.

"What?"

Lin Ying looked puzzled.

"What else do you say, this woman has a great figure and face, I say you have no shortage of women, as long as you are willing to speak."

There was a little envy in Durant's eyes.

"Kevin, I'm not such a casual person."

Lin Ying returned what Durant University had told him.

"Really? Give me your business card."

Durant held out his hand.

Lin Ying handed over the business card.

Durant made a gesture to tear up his business card as Lin Ying did to him before.

However, seeing that Lin Ying's expression did not change, he handed back the business card again.

"I don't even know what to say about you, as long as you take the initiative tonight, you can hit the base."

Durant is still regretting.

"How about you go?"

Lin Ying handed the business card to Durant again.

"Don't, if Monica finds out, you must quarrel with me."

Lin Ying smiled and shook her head.

Durant's personality is really rare. Generally, black people don't need girlfriends when they have money.

Even if you want, you can't mess with him outside, otherwise you will be sorry for the money you made.

"By the way, how is your sneaker contract negotiation going?"

Lin Ying changed the subject.

"It went well and I helped a lot."

Durant looked smug.

"You've been a great help? Shouldn't Bill talk about it, and you sat by the side to watch the play?"

Lin Ying was full of curiosity.

"No, no, on the contrary, I'm very business-minded."

Durant is still boasting.

But this sentence reminded Lin Ying.

Many NBA players are business minded. First there was "Magic" Johnson and that man, and then there was "Little Emperor" James. These are all successful businessmen.

Although Durant is not as famous as them, he has a high investment vision.

He remembered that one year the news reports specifically introduced his investment, which once suppressed James to be number one.

"So what did you talk about?"

Lin Ying asked curiously.

Durant gave a "hey" and continued:

"I said New Balance is my first love, my true love, friend, if you want to sign me, you have to pay more."
