After saying this, Lin Ying... felt a little panicked!

As a time traveler, he had heard some news that Karl said he wanted to abolish Curry.

Although the truth of that matter has not been determined in the end.

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

Karl admires his passion for playing, and that quality fits the Nuggets very well.

And he also hopes that Lin Ying's passing can help the team in the new season.

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

Nuggets track and field team.

Yes, that's what the fans called the Nuggets team.

The Nuggets' style of play is relatively advanced, frantically attacking the ball holder to force turnovers, and then playing defensive counterattack.

So if you look at the highlights of this Nuggets team, they are basically fast break performances.

But this Nuggets team lacks a good passer.

Iverson and Anthony are both scoring types, and they still had Steve Blake last season.

But if he remembered correctly, Blake couldn't be retained this summer because of salary space issues.

Historically, the starting point guard in the 2007-08 season was Anthony Carter...

The old Carter has played in the NBA for 11 years, starting more than 30 games with the Nuggets this year.

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

It shows how stretched the Nuggets' back line is.

So what Karl said was really not a compliment.

The most outstanding ability that Lin Ying has shown in the NCAA is passing, especially the first pass ability in fast break!

No one stipulates that the pass must be from a defender, and the speed of the pass after grabbing the board inside is definitely faster.

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

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

After finishing the phone call with Karl, Lin Ying suddenly felt that his future with the Nuggets would be bright.

After drifting for a while, he calmed down.

Old Carl's ability to deceive people is even more terrifying than that of Barnes.

It is more practical for him to work steadily and hard to become the main force.

The Nuggets' frontcourt starts with Anthony, Nene and Martin.

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

If you think about it, it's not an easy thing to do.

After the phone call with Karl, Lin Ying and Durant returned to the draft meeting.

They found Abrams and sat with him.

Randy Williams is already there.

Although after beating the crazy three, it means that the group of them will go their separate ways.

But just as Lin Ying said with emotion before: the experience of Mad San will be a very wonderful memory in their lives.

That will always be there.

At this time, the first round of the draft has ended, and we took a short break to go to the second round.

Abrams was previously predicted to be selected with the 51st pick in the second round.

The person calling the second round is no longer Stern, but league vice president Matt Tatum.

Lin Ying was impressed by Tatum.

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

And because he does data analysis, he understands it more deeply than others.

Among them is Tatum.

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

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

"When my mother educated me from an early age, she would instill Asian and Chinese values, awe, humility, and God rewards hard work. These characters and virtues have been influencing me to this day."

Lin Ying saw a report at that time, and this sentence impressed him deeply.

In fact, Tatum was with Stern earlier than Silver, and theoretically should be the one to take over.

But here in the United States, unless there is force majeure, it is impossible to let a person with a wrong bloodline become the president.

Think about what happened to Vasani and Kobe in history. The biggest reason why Kobe’s parents didn’t like Vasani was that she was of Mexican descent.

Watching Tatum's broadcast now, it really gives people a very humble feeling.

The second-round draft only has 3 minutes of preparation time, so it goes faster.

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

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

It was at this moment that Lin Ying remembered what Su Feng had said before.

It seems that the Lakers didn't work hard enough in the end.

Otherwise, if he is drafted 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 has been selected!

Moreover, it is still the 42nd pick.

That's nine picks higher than the draft projection.

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

Abrams 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 for the 42nd pick to stay in the NBA, there is at least a chance.

and……

"AJ is going to be teammates with Oden?"

Lin Ying said.

Durant also just reacted.

His "battle" with Oden did not end with the end of the draft.

On the contrary, in their rookie season, they are still the strongest contenders for "Rookie of the Year".

Speaking of this, Lin Ying was also curious to what extent the old Chinese medicine doctor could help Oden.

If the effect was really amazing, he would really like to get to know it.

…

After the draft, the three of them temporarily separated.

Each of them has their own things to do.

For example, Duffy is taking Durant to discuss a sneaker contract with Nike.

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

Unless a phenomenal rookie like Iverson or James can get a super contract before the draft, this kind of thing will take half a month to negotiate.

The first negotiation meeting requires Durant's participation.

Abrams and the former cheerleading "queen" prepared to open a room to celebrate alone.

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

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

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

And party celebrations are also routine. 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 his uncle to the room, as soon as he entered, the sky was filled with colorful ribbons and cheers.

Being drafted by the NBA, even in the second round, is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes for the entire family.

Not to mention the No. 9 pick like Lin Ying.

If it had been anyone else, those unrelated relatives would have come to celebrate.

Who doesn't like a rich person in the family?

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

Of course, there are also some party girls who look quite young.

Lin Ying didn't know them, but he still gave Uncle Zu some face and forced a smile to say hello to them.

After going through the process, he sat on the sofa and rested.

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

The law here in the United States is that you are 21 years old before you can drink.

This is why NBA players don't go to bar parties to celebrate after being drafted.

That would be like telling the whole world that I broke the law.

Although Lin Ying has been here in the United States for two years, he has basically never seen anyone who has not drank before the age of 21...

The more you ban it, the more people will drink it, and curiosity will kill the cat.

Of course, Lin Ying would not drink on such an occasion, because the law is a local jurisdiction. Even though he is Chinese, he is bound by American law.

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

There is a lot of traffic and lights outside.

New York is so prosperous.

No wonder the Knicks have poor records all year round and still rank first in NBA revenue.

This place can best be described in four words: drunken and luxurious.

At this moment, the door behind Lin Ying opened.

He turned around and saw a party girl walking over.

He frowned slightly.

There is really no way to hide from this.

"Hello, I'm Cynthia Dickel."

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

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

What a delicate model face.

"Lin Ying."

Out of politeness, Lin Ying also reached out and shook Dicker's hand.

"I'm a model and have taken some photos for Sports Pictures."

Dicker walked to Lin Ying's side, held his hand on the railing and said half sideways.

As expected, she is a model, and Lin Ying's judgment is still good.

And this figure under the moonlight is a bit foul.

Sports Illustrated?

Lin Ying looked away and gave the girl a thumbs up. This was no ordinary party girl.

Sports scenes are not accessible to most people.

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

Dicker also looked a little nervous.

She also looks like she is only about 20 years old.

Lin Ying shook his head.

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

Dicker smiled awkwardly, then looked forward.

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

"Where is your home?"

Lin Ying asked.

After hearing this, Dicker turned his head and smiled.

She thought Lin Ying didn't know 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, who earns 400,000 yuan per step.

Wherever there is water and soil, one person can be nourished.

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

"That's not mysterious, it's very beautiful, even more beautiful than this."

The topic of hometown was the topic that allowed the two of them to officially talk about it.

During the chat, Lin Ying learned that Dicker took modeling photos not only for her own career, but also donated a large portion of the money to the Children's Welfare Foundation in her hometown.

This made him feel much better about Dicker.

When the two were about to chat, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the room.

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

Durant was also stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Ying chatting with Dicker.

"Sorry, I'll come back later."

After he reacted, he was ready to retreat.

"No, we've almost finished talking. This is my business card. If we have a chance in the future, we can surf together."

Dicker said and handed Lin Ying a business card.

Lin Ying accepted it.

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

"Damn it, how did you do that?"

Durant came up with a "you can do it" expression.

"What?"

Lin Ying looked confused.

"What else are you talking about? This woman has a great figure and face. I'm just telling you that you have no shortage of women, as long as you are willing to speak."

Durant had a little envy in his eyes.

"Kevin, I'm not that casual."

Lin Ying returned what Durant University had said to him.

"Really? Give me your business card."

Durant reached out his hand.

Lin Ying handed over the business card.

Durant tried to do what Lin Ying had done to him before, tearing up his business card.

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

"I don't even know what to say about you. If you take the initiative tonight, you can get on base."

Durant is still feeling regretful.

"How about you go?"

Lin Ying handed the business card to Durant again.

"No, if Monica finds out, you will have to quarrel with me."

Lin Ying smiled and shook his head.

Durant's character is really rare. Most black people don't want a girlfriend when they are rich.

Even if you want to, you can't do anything outside, otherwise you won't be able to make money.

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

Lin Ying changed the topic.

"It went very smoothly. I helped a lot."

Durant looked proud.

"You were a big help? Shouldn't Bill talk and you sit next to watch the show?"

Lin Ying was full of curiosity.

"No, no, on the contrary, I am very business-savvy."

Durant is still boasting.

But this sentence reminded Lin Ying.

Many NBA players have business acumen. 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 also has a very high investment vision.

He remembered that one year, news reports specifically introduced his investment, and he once pushed James to the first place.

"So how did you talk about it?"

Lin Ying asked curiously.

Durant said "hehe" and then said:

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