This Forward is Not Serious

…

Time flies so fast, it’s already early January.

The results of the first round of All-Star voting for the new season have come out.

Lin Ying was undoubtedly elected as the top vote-getter in the first round.

Yao Ming cannot play, and the first choice of domestic fans' votes is Lin Ying.

Coupled with the blessing of the male protagonist in the previous MV and his outstanding performance this season, it is difficult to win the vote.

And if the Nets can maintain first place in the Eastern Conference in the next month, Sloan will be elected as the All-Star head coach again after many years.

Let’s not talk about whether we can get the best coach to fill our regrets. This will definitely be a very meaningful thing.

…

January 12th is the first day of December according to the domestic lunar calendar.

On this day, the Nets will face the Spurs at home tonight.

Sloan takes this game seriously.

Because of the competitiveness the Spurs have shown this season, they may reach the finals.

As for the Nets, who aim to win the championship, they are their potential opponents.

And because they are in different divisions, there are only two opportunities to compete each season.

The Spurs ended their winning streak in the last game, and Sloan naturally wants to win it back this time.

So he has training arrangements this morning and afternoon.

Lin Ying went much earlier than Sloan's arrangement.

His breakfast club is still there, with Deron, Butler, Yi Jianlian, and now he has Crowder.

The sun had not risen when he went out, but there was already a layer of pink morning glow on the horizon.

At a glance, it seems as if the entire Brooklyn is covered in a golden-pink gauze.

As soon as he drove the car to the arena and stopped, he received a call from Su Feng.

B Bitcoin has skyrocketed!

Bitcoin has gone up and down in the past month, and it has reached a new high today. Now you can make a huge profit by selling it.

Not long after Lin Ying hung up the phone, before she had finished changing her clothes in the dressing room, Su Feng called again.

Scott Borchetta agrees to sell his remaining 51% stake for $178.5 million!

In other words, if Lin Shigong wins, he will own 85% of the shares of Daji Machinery. This is no different from an acquisition!

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ying had a strange expression.

what is it today?

When you go out, you will encounter auspiciousness, and good news comes one after another.

Teammates came to the locker room one after another, waiting for him to change clothes and jerseys and prepare to go to training.

Just then, his phone rang again.

This time it was Yang Shuyi who called.

When he picked up the call, he didn't even have time to change his jersey, so he just put on his coat and ran outside.

Swift is giving birth!

This is several days earlier than the due date!

Of course, he was not in a hurry. The doctor at home was there and he was sent to the hospital as soon as possible.

He can just go to the hospital directly at this time.

On the way there, he felt very relaxed.

Although it is a few days early, it is still within the normal range. Based on the current medical conditions, the risk is basically zero.

So instead of worrying about the risks of fertility, his more real emotion now is the excitement about the impending birth of his son.

Especially when I encountered so many good things as soon as I went out today.

This child was not only born in a golden palace, but also came on the auspicious clouds!

When we drove to the hospital, Swift had already entered the delivery room, and Yang Shuyi was standing outside waiting.

Lin Ying went over to chat with her for a few words, probably about the situation before Swift was born.

Judging by the description, everything went smoothly.

While they were chatting, Swift’s parents had already arrived.

Since we both live in New York, it’s quite convenient to come here.

Lin Ying chatted for a while and went outside to call Sloan.

There are two types of births: natural birth and caesarean section. Cesarean section is a few hours faster, but natural birth usually takes 13 to 17 hours.

Of course, natural births can be quick or slow, and some may only take a few hours.

However, he may not be able to play in the evening game, so he has to say hello in advance.

Sloan attached great importance to the evening game, but when he heard that Lin Ying was going to be a father, he immediately sent congratulations and told him not to worry about the game.

Then, there was a long waiting time.

During this period, Lin Ying's mood continued to change.

From the excitement at the beginning, it gradually became calmer, and then began to become involuntarily nervous.

In the end, I couldn't sit still, so I stood up from my seat, paced back and forth at the door of the delivery room, and then looked inside from time to time.

It was as if he expected to see the nurse pushing his son out in the next second and saying he was giving birth, faster than expected;

He was also worried that the nurse would come out empty-handed and tell him that something unexpected had happened.

After waiting for a few hours, Swift's parents fell asleep leaning there, and Lin Ying's palms became sweaty unconsciously.

The door of the delivery room was opened twice, once to sign the authorization form, and once when the nurse came out to get something.

I don’t know how long it took, but it turned from day to night outside.

The door to the delivery room opened for the third time, and this time a nurse came out pushing a trolley.

Swift's parents had already woken up from a long sleep and got up immediately when they saw this.

Lin Ying also realized what was happening and got up and walked over.

It was at this time that he discovered that Yang Shuyi had not left either.

"Mr. Lin, congratulations, it's a boy."

Although she already knew the result, the nurse still went through the process.

At this time, Lin Ying looked at his son lying there.

It was completely different from the clean and handsome guy I imagined. He had gray skin, wrinkled skin, squinted eyes, and a big head.

Lin Ying's first reaction was, was this his own child?

Then his second reaction was, this is his child!

Although it was different from what I imagined, the inexplicable feeling of blood was unmistakable.

After looking at it, the nurse asked Swift's parents to accompany her to the neonatal room.

Newborn children will need some examinations and treatments, as well as hepatitis B vaccination.

Lin Ying will have to wait here for a while, and Swift will come out after a while.

"You go back and rest first."

Lin Ying thought of Yang Shuyi and turned around and said.

"I'm fine."

Yang Shuyi shook her head.

"I have worked hard for you during this period. I will give you a salary increase when you come to work."

Lin Ying said.

"Plus I feel like I'm an American elite."

Yang Shuyi said with a smile.

She had already received a salary increase when she went to take care of Swift Linying.

While they were chatting, the door to the delivery room opened again.

A normal birth is handled much faster than a C-section.

Lin Ying stepped forward and saw that Swift was very weak.

Giving birth is not an easy thing, it can even be said to be very painful.

But when she saw Lin Ying, Swift tried her best to smile:

"You are a father."

A very special statement.

Lin Ying reached out to touch Swift's cheek and replied with a smile:

"You are a mother."

After hearing this, Swift closed her eyes and leaned her head against Lin Ying's hand, as if that would make her feel warmer.

When they returned to the delivery room, Xiao Linyi was already sleeping next to her.

Their condition, of course, is that mother and son share the same room and are alone.

When Lin Ying looked at his child at this time, he already looked better than before.

In order to meet Xiao Linyi, he also read a lot of parenting books.

There was a passage in the book that impressed him deeply. The book said that the week after a baby is born is the process from an ugly duckling to a swan.

Considering the looks of Lin Ying and Swift, there is a high probability that this swan will also be a white swan.

Swift's parents, Yang Shuyi and others had gone back at this time, and Lin Ying stayed to take care of her in the delivery room.

Of course, he was more of a companion, and for the rest, they spent money to find someone else.

Swift must have been tired. After chatting with Lin Ying for a while, he fell asleep leaning on Lin Ying's hand.

After Swift fell asleep, Lin Ying took out his hand, then turned to look at Xiao Lin Yi.

Xiao Linyi also fell asleep, lying on his side and mumbling.

Lin Ying couldn't help but touch her chubby little hands, and a happy smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

The feeling of being a father is very subtle.

He sat back on the bed, took out his phone, and paid attention to the evening's game.

At this time, the game was interrupted in the third quarter, and the Nets led the Spurs by 17 points 72 to 55.

It seems that after losing to the Spurs last time, the Nets players are working hard to get revenge this time.

And he didn't play like this, which also illustrates the Nets' hard power.

After looking at the phone for a while, Lin Ying also fell asleep leaning on the bed.

After experiencing great emotional ups and downs and waiting outside for so long, I was fine physically but mentally exhausted.

He didn't know how long he slept, but Lin Ying was soon woken up by a baby crying.

It was Xiaolin Yi who woke up.

A newborn baby will not sleep through the entire night, so the night will be a bit rough.

…

The next morning, after having breakfast with Swift, Lin Ying drove back to the Barclays Center.

This is a back-to-back game. After playing the Spurs, we have to play the Heat in the evening.

The good news is that it is relatively easy to win against the Spurs, and if nothing else happens, we should be able to win against the Heat.

Lin Ying was the first to arrive at the arena.

He changed his clothes and went directly to warm-up training.

For him, the best way to get rid of fatigue is to sweat.

When his clothes were wet, he felt energetic again.

At this moment, Yi Jianlian came.

He was surprised when he saw Lin Ying.

"Why don't you spend more time with your sister-in-law in the hospital?"

"Someone will take care of her. Come and show you my son's photo."

There is a very strange phenomenon. When parents have a baby, they automatically become a baby-showing addict.

Lin Ying now wanted to share his son with the people around him.

The photo was taken in the morning.

Even though it was only a dozen hours later, Xiao Lin Yi was already a completely different child than when he was born.

Lin Ying and Swift's powerful genes have been reflected in his eyes, nose, face...all organs.

The reason why the British care so much about bloodlines has also been discovered. The combination of excellent genes can indeed produce excellent offspring.

"By the way, were you in a good mood last night? Look at you guys winning so many points."

After chatting about children, Lin Ying naturally mentioned last night's game.

Although the game was not over at that time, with the sailing skills of the old captain Sloan, a big victory was unavoidable.

But what Lin Ying didn't expect was that Yi Jianlian suddenly changed into a bitter look.

"I used to think Coach Sloan was an old coach who looked stern but was gentle at heart, but last night, I felt his scary side."

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment when he said this.

"Lost?"

he asked after he came to his senses.

Yi Jianlian nodded.

Lost.

When Lin Ying saw the score, the Spurs had already started chasing points.

The Nets' lead reached 20 points at most.

Coincidentally, it was the same score as when they trailed the Knicks in the Christmas game.

In the following games, the Spurs kept chasing points.

Not only did they play super defense under Popovich's roar, their offense became unstoppable.

Sloan's response was quick, even perfect, which greatly slowed down the Spurs' pursuit of points.

However, the score is still being narrowed.

And as the score continues to be narrowed, the mentality of the Nets players has also changed.

Their defensive communication began to have problems, and their ability to seize opportunities on the offensive end was also declining.

Especially at the last critical moment, they couldn't score.

Deron was flanked and Johnson failed to score. The Nets watched as Parker scored from mid-range again and again and took away the game.

However, what scared the Nets players more than losing the game was Sloan's anger in the locker room after the game.

The old coach scolded almost everyone.

"Are you worthy of the wages you receive? Those are exaggerated numbers;

Are you worthy of the fans who spend money to watch the game live? Many people may have saved up for months or even a year just to watch the game;

Are you worthy of yourselves? You work hard for half a game and then in the end you throw it aside and say winning or losing doesn't matter. "

Yi Jianlian imitated Sloan's voice.

Although it was a microphone, Lin Ying still felt the anger coming from his heart.

Of course, these are actually fine. What Yi Jianlian said before Sloan finally left the locker room was what touched everyone's emotions the most.

"You think you've accomplished something, but you've accomplished nothing!"

Lin Ying nodded after hearing this.

Although he was not present at the time, Sloan should have been angry about more than just one game with those last words.

In a sense, Sloan's words should also be speaking to himself.

It seems that the Nets are No. 1 in the league, but in fact, these are meaningless until they win the championship.

In history, the Warriors who won 73 games and were runner-up turned into a joke in the end, just like Xing Tian without a head and a dwarf.

If the Nets don't win the championship, it means nothing to be first in the league.

Especially for Sloan.

But part of the reason why Lin Ying nodded was that this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

As Sloan said, chasing points behind is an experience, and being ahead is also an experience.

The role of these experiences is to prevent them from not knowing what to do when they face these situations in the future, especially in the playoffs.

"After Coach Sloan left last night, everyone stayed in the locker room for a long time before leaving. It seemed that they didn't even recover."

Yi Jianlian continued.

This seems to explain why Lin Ying was the first to arrive at the gym today, and he had been practicing for so long before others came.

Just like Yi Jianlian now, he was a little overwhelmed after being scolded.

Lin Ying patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'm back."

Thanks for the reward from Izayoi Nana~
