The Warriors won the championship.

By the bedside in the hospital, Lin Ying and Durant watched the results of the game together.

Durant's expression was a little complicated.

He thought the Cavaliers could at least pull one back, but it turned out that he seemed to have overthought it.

But when he saw the result, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, what Lin Ying said just now is not entirely correct.

Because he has been convinced by Lin Ying and knows that the Cavaliers will probably not be able to come back.

He really wanted to find a reason for himself to leave.

Now he has it.

The finals are over, and Lin Ying's attention is still on the live broadcast.

He wanted to see the final result of fmvp.

In history, the fmvp that was supposed to be given to Curry this year was finally given to Iguodala. I don’t know who it will be given to now.

Tatum stood there with a smile on his face and announced the final result...

"The winner of the 2015 Bill Russell Trophy is...Stephen Curry!"

It's Curry!

When hearing this result, Lin Ying was also happy for Curry.

He and Curry had crossed paths in Naa back then, although they only passed each other during a press conference.

Durant shouted excitedly at this time.

Needless to say, his relationship with Curry was shared with Lin Ying when he was at Naa.

And speaking of it, this result is also reasonable. First, the league president has changed, and second, Love has not lost weight, and Curry's presence will be stronger.

When the live broadcast ended, Lin Ying turned to look at Durant.

If Durant still says that he wants to think about it again at this time, Lin Ying guarantees that he will beat Durant up and walk away.

"I want to trade to Brooklyn."

Fortunately, Durant stopped being pretentious.

"I will tell Mark about this, but I can't guarantee it."

Durant can choose to opt out of the contract, or sign first and then trade, but either way, the Nets need to provide matching chips.

This is not easy for the Nets to do.

Durant nodded.

Then, his emotions became very complicated.

There is reluctance and excitement, all intertwined.

In the end, excitement gradually replaced the reluctance, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Ying.

"Shadow, we're going to play ball together!"

Lin Ying was startled by this sudden excitement.

"We haven't played together since we left college!"

"I played in the rookie game and the All-Star game."

"Well, you can't help but ruin the atmosphere!"

"Okay, no, we haven't played together in the regular season since we left college."

"Yes, seven years have passed in the blink of an eye! We have all changed from boys to men!"

Seeing Durant's exaggerated expression, Lin Ying couldn't help but feel a little emotional at this time.

Yes, in the blink of an eye, 8 years have passed since he traveled through time.

He has experienced so much in these eight years, from Denver to Phoenix to Brooklyn.

And now that I'm about to play with Durant, the feeling seems to be back to the original starting point!

They will fight for the championship together again!

"Do you think we will succeed?"

Durant suddenly asked.

"What do you think?"

Lin Ying asked with a smile.

They are no longer the two young boys they were back then!

"I think..."

"etc!"

When Durant was about to speak, Lin Ying immediately reached out and interrupted him.

Durant looked at Lin Ying in confusion. It was uncomfortable to feel like his words were being interrupted.

"I also have a request."

"What request?"

"Let me first educate you on what setting up a flag means, or what planting a flag means!"

I almost forgot, this guy is an old general who planted flags.

Originally, he thought the flag should be removed this year, but he didn't expect it to come true in the end.

So Durant's mouth must be sealed.

Lin Ying explained for a while, and Durant finally understood what it meant.

Originally, he wanted to complain about Lin Ying being so superstitious, but Lin Ying predicted his prediction and directly listed all his previous flag planting experiences.

He also suddenly realized that he was so good at setting flags.

"Okay, I will pay attention to what I say in the future."

Durant was a little reluctant when he said this.

Because his character is straightforward, if you suddenly ask him to speak out and think about it, he will feel very uncomfortable.

"Or you can learn from Barkley, who will say the opposite at certain times."

Lin Ying did not give Durant any more knowledge about poisonous milk. He felt that Durant would be a little embarrassed to accept this one.

"That's not bad."

I just didn't expect Durant to be quite interested in this.

"Then I will go back to Brooklyn. I will go and talk to Mark first, and you will also talk to the Thunder. We will meet in July."

Lin Ying stood up as he spoke.

"You are too heartless. I just agreed and you are leaving!"

To be honest, the days in the hospital were boring. If Lin Ying hadn't been there, he would have thought he was going crazy.

"Don't worry, I'll ask Taylor to see if Selena is free."

"Really or not?"

"Fake."

Durant was so close to a medical miracle that he jumped out of bed and beat up Lin Ying.

"Just stay here. You should be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Then we can train together in Brooklyn!"

When Lin Ying said this, the scene when the two of them were training together at the University of Texas came to mind unconsciously.

In the past, because of Butler's departure, he was always missing someone during training, but that's no longer the case now.

"You're not afraid if you leave, I won't go."

Durant is making a last-ditch effort to stay.

"It's okay. If you don't come, I will tell all the things you did in college to the New York media. It's a little movie. You know the New York media..."

"I know, I will go there as soon as possible!"

Durant was almost anxious.

Lin Ying finally clenched his fist and reached out to touch Durant.

The new season is very exciting!

…

A few days after Lin Ying returned to Brooklyn, Durant came, and he came wearing protective gear. From the looks of it, he must have just been discharged from the hospital.

"Didn't you say you couldn't come?"

Lin Ying couldn't help laughing and joking when she saw him at the airport.

"I'm not afraid that you will reveal what I did in college!"

Durant said as he limped forward and hugged Lin Ying with a smile.

He had already said hello to the Thunder management, and now he suddenly felt particularly relaxed.

This is how people are, sometimes things that are extremely confusing seem to become less important the moment they are let go.

Durant came early this time because of Devin Booker.

Booker is running for election this year!

When he and Durant held a training camp together, Durant even gave him a very middle-class name "Texas Twin Galaxy".

Booker was inside.

Booker and Lin Ying have a lot of interactions, starting from asking for autographs and taking photos, to asking for tickets to the finals, and then to the training camp.

Strictly speaking, Booker is his disciple, but he is also very popular with Durant, so Durant supported Booker in advance this time.

"Do you think you can bring this kid to Brooklyn?"

In the car going to Lin Ying's home, Durant couldn't help but ask.

"I thought about it too, but there's basically no chance. He would be a lottery pick."

Not to mention that Lin Ying opened his eyes and knew Booker's 13th pick, in fact, Booker's draft predictions at this moment are all around 10.

Basically, the outside world's evaluation of him is similar to that of Fredette, the top white shooter among rookies.

Although this year is not a super year, the only assets that the Nets can trade for this pick are him, Jokic and Bradley, but obviously they cannot be moved.

"Where do you think this child will end up?"

Durant was a little regretful, but he also knew that the Nets could not draft him, and he was more concerned about Booker himself.

"sun."

Lin Ying gave an answer,

"When I was still in Phoenix, he came to me for tickets and said he was a Suns fan forever, so I think God will see it."

"!"

When Durant heard what Lin Ying said, he put his hand on his forehead.

He knew that Lin Ying was teasing him. He had previously said that he would let God decide whether he wanted to come to the Nets or not.

Lin Ying also smiled.

But he is also curious whether Booker will end up with the Suns like in history.

…

Before the draft begins, one thing that fans are concerned about has finally been settled.

The Lakers fired D'Antoni at the end of last season, and their new coach will be Nate McMillan.

The Nets were not careful and were dismantled again.

But this time it was the coaching staff that was demolished.

Last year, Cole played brilliantly with the Warriors, so McMillan was naturally attracted.

Although this is not surprising.

Because D'Antoni's defense was so eye-catching last season, it was expected that they would hire a defensive coach.

There is another background here, because the failed "Lakers New F4" in history did not appear, and Paul also came to the Lakers. Jim Buss is still in charge of the Lakers now, so the series of operations of the Lakers are still within the normal range.

.

One day later, the 2015 NBA Draft took place at Madison Square Garden.

Lin Ying took Durant to the VIP box.

"Have you ever watched the draft here before?"

Entering the box, Durant looked shocked.

The environment and perspective of this private room are also great!

He really felt like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

Although it's not his fault. Compared with the Thunder, the difference between the Nets and the Thunder is completely different from the wealthy.

"Kevin, you have to learn to adapt to this slowly."

Lin Ying sat on the sofa, picked up a cigar from the table and bit it.

"Damn it, why didn't I come earlier!"

Durant also said in an exaggerated tone, and then sat down on the sofa.

It’s easy to move from frugality to luxury, and the process really makes people feel extremely comfortable!

At this moment, Lin Ying's cell phone rang.

It's Dean Walken calling.

Most of them asked him if he had any reference for the draft.

Let’s not talk about Crowder. With the example of Jokic, Dean Woken must now regard Lin Ying’s suggestion as his first choice.

Lin Ying didn't regard Durant as an outsider, and reported the available candidates to Walken Dean in person.

The Nets' draft pick this year is higher, but it's only the 25th pick.

And this year is indeed not a big year for the draft, even the overall quality of the head is average.

Nance Jr., Kevin Looney, Montrezl Harrell, Willy Hernangomez, Norman Powell.

Just like last year, he found the right candidate.

As for who Walkendian will choose, it depends on Walkendian’s own plans for the free market.

He has fully communicated with Walken Dean about Durant, so he doesn't have to worry.

And at the end of the phone call, he also told Walken Dean about Booker.

"He's my and Kevin's protégé."

Lin Ying finally said and hung up the phone.

"Is this okay?"

Durant was still shocked after hearing this.

Because he discovered that Lin Ying was actually in the remote control management team!

His status in the Thunder is not low, but his opinions are generally ignored by the management.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been unable to keep Harden because of 2 million!

"Kevin, it wasn't me who called, it was Mark who called me."

Lin Ying took a puff of his cigar and said.

After hearing this, Durant had the idea of ​​​​pinning Lin Ying on the sofa and rubbing him.

This guy's words are getting more fishy now!

"Do you know why?"

Fortunately, Lin Ying didn't really want to show off in front of Durant.

"Because Jokic was selected at my request and he has been to my training camp before."

Lin Ying still talks the same way. There are so many people coming to his training camp anyway, even Durant doesn’t know.

Durant looked suddenly enlightened.

This is not surprising, Jokic showed so much talent last season.

"That's a very enthusiastic guy. It's a pity that he went back to Serbia, otherwise I would definitely take you to meet him."

After Jokic returned, Lin Yi felt a little unhappy, and Lin Ying missed him a little.

While we were chatting, Tatum came out and the draft started.

The lottery for this year's draft ended in April, and the Timberwolves had a 0.5% probability of winning the No. 1 pick.

Well, Stern's blessing directly turned into Tatum's blessing.

Although compared to Stern, Tatum's operation in this area is slightly stiffer.

But no matter what, the Timberwolves selected their No. 1 pick just like in history.

This year's top pick is Towns.

With Harden already there, this "Haas combination" has a high chance of allowing the Timberwolves to enter the playoffs.

The draft will also start soon.

Sure enough, the Timberwolves selected Towns with the first pick.

The Timberwolves fans at the scene were very excited, and some even shed tears.

Don't blame them for being too excited, it's just that they have been sinking for too long.

Lin Ying was also very interested at this time. Although Towns was still a rookie, the next step would depend on Wolfgang's operation. After all, the lower limit for Harden to lead the team was very high.

The draft went very quickly, and the 13th pick was soon reached.

As in history, the Suns are in this pick.

Lin Ying and Durant were also fully focused at this time.

Although they know that the Nets have a low chance of selecting Booker, Lin Ying said before, what if?

"With the 13th pick in the first round of the 2015 NBA, the Phoenix Suns selected Devin Booker, a 1.96-meter shooting guard from the University of Kentucky."

There was no trade, and Booker still went to the Suns.

Booker's expression in the camera is different from that in history. He is jumping up and down with excitement.

Lin Ying and Durant were a little disappointed, but they soon turned into happy.

Although they all want Booker to come, Booker's chances with the Suns will obviously be greater than with the Nets.
Chapter completed!
