This Forward is Not Serious

Vol 2 Chapter 417: New York (Part 2)

While fans are paying attention to the results of the All-Star vote, their eyes have not been taken away from the trading market.

At this time, the rumors were already flying.

The news that "Riley wants to use James as the main body to trade Lin Ying" quickly attracted a large number of fans.

Although the news is only released by a small local media in Brooklyn, the content is amazing!

And the report also gave the reason why Riley would do that, because he loved Jordan so much!

So when a player so close to Jordan appears, he will definitely be moved.

Although there is no more evidence to confirm the accuracy of this news, many fans feel that this is not impossible.

Although James is very strong, his organization and rushing ability are the best in the league, stronger than Lin Ying.

But Lin Ying's offensive comprehensiveness and game dominance are stronger than James's.

The rumors got bigger and bigger, and some reporters threw the question directly to the party Riley.

But Riley just smiled and didn't answer.

The expression was like: Do you believe this kind of news?

And soon, the Knicks officially tweeted: Who is the league's first?

The meaning of this is obvious. The Knicks are the first in the league. It is impossible to make a trade at this time, and it is James who is sent.

It can be seen from this that Riley is not really IQ offline, but has long been prepared for the news that may leak.

"God operator" can also be translated as "old fox".

Sometimes, though, you really can't underestimate the imagination of fans.

A comment called "Lin Ying Resets No. 1 Fan of Version 2.0" is very eye-catching.

"When Michael was still in the Bulls, the Bulls were not often the No. 1 team in the league, but I believe the No. 1 team in the league at that time would definitely want Michael."

This wave of comments just exploded.

Because it couldn't be more true!

Take the 1992-1993 season before Jordan retired for the first time as an example. The Bulls had a record of only 57 wins that year, ranking third in the league.

Don't say that the first pioneer in the league at that time was the Knicks in the East. You ask them if they want Jordan!

So the news really doesn't end all of a sudden.

The Knicks have no further comment on the matter.

After all, no matter how hot this thing is, it is still a rumor.

Unless the Nets come out and make sure the news is true, neither will Walkendian.

Because these are only open and secret battles, and if they are put on the table, they will be torn apart.

Although the two teams are now in a hostile relationship, everyone will consider the future and leave some room for maneuver.

Riley didn't make the next move, he just tried it.

But just when everyone thought it was over, a report from a local Manhattan sports media: the Nets are selling Jimmy Butler, and it also gave a very good reason.

Because the Nets and Butler's contract renewals are not going well, if they don't trade, Butler is likely to be let go next season for nothing.

So the Nets intend to package Jimmy Butler and Joe Johnson, and even the asking price is clearly written, requiring an All-Star player within the contract period.

They even gave some potential targets, such as Gordon Hayward of the Jazz, Stoudemire of the Suns, Lull Deng of the Bulls, etc.

This seems to be a clear response to the previous rumors.

You are rumored by the Brooklyn media to alienate the relationship between James and the team's management, then we can alienate you too!

After all, it's not just James who may leave the team next summer, but Butler is more likely.

Is there a problem?

no problem!

However, the report angered Vulcan Dean.

Because it's really a no-brainer.

Forget anyone else, the Nets players will see this news and think it's true.

Therefore, in addition to denying this rumor in public, Walkendian also answered the previous rumors about James changing Lin Ying in a reporter's question.

The answer is just one sentence:

The Knicks did communicate with him about such a trade proposal, but he rejected it directly!

This is, completely ripped off!

It's lively!

Riley reckoned that he wanted to kill the reporter who wrote the report.

He's a **** who counted his own people, and missed the pig teammates!

It's his fault, he's been away from New York for too long, forgetting how unreliable the reporters in Manhattan are.

...

Manhattan, James' mansion.

Riley came to visit him.

"Mark Walkendian is really a very scheming person."

Seeing James, after a few chats, Riley got to the point.

"The Nets are obviously weaker this season, and he wants to influence us in this way."

Riley said it casually.

"I don't care what they say, I just focus on the game."

James also answered naturally, and invited Riley to drink a cappuccino.

Hearing what James said, Riley was relieved.

In fact, he also felt that James did not leave the possibility of New York.

This is not Miami, and the commercial value of New York is unmatched by other cities.

What's more, they have great hopes of winning the championship this season. When they win the championship, James has no reason to leave.

However, he still has to come to James, because it represents the attitude of management.

When Riley was gone, a person came out of James's room.

Rich Paul.

Previously, Paul persuaded James to leave the Cavaliers, and he won the championship in his first year in New York, making Paul the first person in the James team.

They'd been talking about other things together before, and when Riley came, he avoided it.

"I don't think what he said is necessarily true."

He basically overheard the conversation between James and Riley just now in the room.

James nodded, sat down, opened the drawer, took out a cigar, took out one, and lit it himself.

"There are still plenty of options for summer."

After smoking a cigar, James said.

New York must be his first choice, as his off-court income has nearly doubled since he came to New York.

To know that he is already a famous person, and he can still have this effect, it can only be said that the influence of the big city is really big.

And the owner of the Knicks is Ballmer, a master who is willing to spend money.

He really had no reason to leave.

However, it is not absolute.

That's why he said "either now or never" before.

Money was only one factor he considered, albeit the most important one.

But he also wants to surpass Jordan as the new GOAT.

So he has to win as many championships as possible.

If the Knicks have been unable to win the championship, he will switch teams.

"Cleveland can be an option, 'going home' is a good topic, and they have accumulated talent, and if they can bring them their first championship, the impact of the championship will be unparalleled;

Los Angeles can also be an option. Next year, Pau Gasol's contract expires, Kobe is older, he can still play with Chris, and it is also a big city, which is also a perfect choice;

And Oakland, the Stephen guy's been doing really well this season, and they've got Klay Thompson, they'll be the perfect pairing, and the Bay Area hasn't had a championship for a long time, so don't worry about space, they put David Lee Just send it away. "

Paul is really a qualified friend and business partner.

Just like the Knicks were originally planned for him, this wave of arrangements is also quite in place.

James nodded and said nothing, just took another cigar.

When he left Cleveland, he was also under a lot of psychological pressure.

But in fact, the hardest thing to make up your mind is the first time. After the first time, there is actually no psychological pressure behind it.

It's not hard to convince yourself that you want to win.

After another puff, he put the cigar down:

"No matter what you choose, this year's championship must be won."

...

The trading market is buzzing with rumours, but let alone big deals, there are no small deals yet.

Look at this situation, and wait for the deadline day.

Fans are also focusing their attention back on the All-Star Game.

As the All-Star Weekend approaches, the head coach of the East and West is confirmed.

Pat Riley on the east side and Popovich on the west side.

The NBA has set off a retro style in the past two years, and these old guys have been facing each other for two consecutive years.

The day before the All-Star Game, Lin Ying and Swift went to New Orleans together.

The last year of Stern's tenure, the All-Star Game was placed in New Orleans.

You know, New Orleans only did it once in 2008.

It seems that in order to get rid of the Hornets, he and the Hornets reached a lot more than most people know.

Oh, it should be called the Pelicans now.

At the beginning of this season, they have completed the name change, and the team logo and everything have been changed.

That's the end of the Hornets' NBA history.

Of course, only temporarily.

When Lin Ying and Jordan played golf before, Jordan said that he would take the Hornets name over.

After all, the Hornets also started from Charlotte, and more importantly, the Bobcats are too shabby, the team history can be ignored.

In contrast, if you change to the Hornets, you will also inherit the history of the Hornets, and you will have the background.

New Orleans is more prosperous than it was when the last All-Star Game came.

The post-disaster reconstruction work of Hurricane Katrina has continued, and the shadow of the hurricane of that year has not been seen much at this time.

Lin Ying did not go to the Masters and Rookie Games on the first day, but found an arena to prepare for tomorrow's slam dunk contest.

Although it is to help the league gain attention, his competitiveness has also become much stronger in the past two years.

Now that he has chosen to participate, he will definitely go all out, and his goal is also aimed at the championship.

The biggest advantage of being a traveler dunk contest is that he can use the eyes of the sky. This time he is going to imitate Gordon.

Aaron Gordon.

The dunk contest between Gordon and LaVine in history can be said to be a classic.

And he's a bit like Gordon's.

Of course, the most important thing is that Gordon's dunk is actually much less difficult than LaVine, but it's visually stunning.

So overall, it's the best for him.

After all, if you ask him to learn LaVine how to play at the free throw line, he won't be able to dunk.

...

On the second day of All-Star Weekend, the New Orleans Arena was full.

The enthusiasm of the fans was on their faces, and it was even more joyful than at Christmas.

The All-Star Weekend is an entertainment event, and the fans' minds are very relaxed.

And there are too many individual events to watch on this day.

After the Shooting Stars and Skills Challenge is over, the 3-point contest will follow.

Lin Ying had already changed into his jersey and sat on the sidelines, preparing for the slam dunk contest that would start soon.

The three-point shooting contest is full of superstars, but at the end of the first round, the superstars are basically eliminated.

Irving and Harden, the Cavaliers' double star in the backcourt, ranked at the bottom, and even Curry, the hottest player, only scored 16 points and was eliminated.

Just a chance, this thing is not only about strength, but also luck.

In the end, Belinelli, Bill and Love entered the final.

In the end, with his excellent performance, Belinelli won the three-point contest with 24 points.

*This year's All-Star Game has added colored ball points. Players can designate one point and 5 **** are all colored balls. The total score will be changed from 30 points to 34 points.

The three-point shooting contest ended, and the fans' emotions exploded.

Because it's going to be a slam dunk contest!

The scene began to introduce the players.

The first to appear is Terence Ross.

Rose is relatively less famous among the four, but his actual dunks are very powerful, and he has a title that no one else has.

He was last year's Slam Dunk Contest winner, in other words, he's the defending champion.

There will be video clips when the players are on the stage. Rose is still flying in the air this season, and the viewing experience is full.

The second one was George.

When George came on stage, the cheers at the scene were not at the same level.

Last year's game against the Nets, George's performance was very good, this season has confirmed his leadership in the Pacers.

He averaged 22 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists per game, which is already very good data for the Pacers who play team basketball.

George's dunk collection is also very good, his height and wingspan, more like a big Rose.

The third appearance is JR.

Don't say, when JR came on stage, the cheers were no lower than George's.

That's the importance of the stage.

Smith's exposure to the Nets is full, and this popularity has been directly increased by a lot.

From this point of view, the advice given by his agent can be said to be quite insightful.

And when JR's highlights came out, the cheers at the scene were even louder.

"Highlights Jordan" is a false name!

The last one to appear was Lin Ying~www.readwn.com~ When Lin Ying got up, the New Orleans Arena was completely filled with cheers.

What is the NBA ticket king!

This scene is the same as when Jordan participated in the slam dunk contest.

And this kind of reaction also proves that Lin Ying won the vote this time, and he is the record-breaking vote king. It was really chosen by the Americans themselves!

Or to put it another way, Lin Ying is not eligible to participate in the slam dunk contest, but his participation makes the slam dunk contest the focus of the All-Star Weekend.

Lin Ying's collection is also very exciting, and all kinds of buckles are full of violence.

After all the players have been introduced, it's game time.

No one expected that the first person to appear was Lin Ying!

Throwing a nuclear bomb directly at the beginning!
