This Forward is Not Serious

…

108 to 102, the Nets defeated the Cavaliers at home and won the Thanksgiving Day game.

Post-game statistics showed that for the Nets, Lin Ying had 31 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, Johnson had 21 points and 4 rebounds, JR Smith had 15 points, and Livingston had 13 points and 7 assists.

For the Cavaliers, Irving had 27 points and 5 assists, Harden had 22 points and 12 assists, Josh Smith had 17 points and 7 rebounds, and Tristan Thompson had 11 points and 11 rebounds.

The most intuitive feeling of fans after watching this game:

First, the Cavaliers are really strong now and have the ability to fight tough battles.

Second, after regaining their form, the Nets' lineup is still very deep.

Especially Livingston's performance can be said to be amazing.

There is no shortage of talent in this league, and there are also many talents ruined by injuries.

But not many can perform again after suffering serious injuries.

Especially Livingston. A video of his injury went viral on YouTube. Later, the NBA asked YouTube to remove it because it was too bloody.

Many people know his story, so if he comes back, many people will be touched.

In this post-match press conference, Karl was full of praise for Livingston's performance without Lin Ying's help.

The reason is simple. If Livingston can maintain this kind of performance, then Deron can rest more!

Lin Ying was also in a pretty good mood.

First it was JR, then Livingston. The continuous performance of role players was the biggest difference from that in Phoenix.

If this momentum can be continued, then when the playoffs are full of energy, the chances of defending the title will be much greater.

…

After the press conference, Lin Ying went back to the locker room and then to the infirmary.

DeLong and Livingston were there again for protective treatment.

Although Deron did not play today, this treatment is part of his recovery from injury.

"Sean, this is for you."

Lin Ying said and handed Livingston a pair of shoes.

It was a pair of out-of-print LinK-1 sneakers, mandarin duck shoes, black, white and gold.

This pair of shoes is now very rare on the market.

Moreover, Lin Ying also signed a new name on it.

Livingston looked shocked. He knew the value of this pair of shoes now.

"It's too expensive."

Livingston actually wanted it, but as he said, the gift was a bit too expensive.

"Take it as an inspiration, if you can continue to perform well, it will be worth it."

Lin Ying said directly.

He said in front of the Brooklyn fans that he would defend the title. In order to do that, it is important to properly motivate his teammates.

And Livingston deserves it.

"Then I'll accept it."

Livingston did not refuse, mainly because he really wanted it.

This feeling is similar to owning a pair of AJ1.

"It seems I have to work harder."

Delong said with a smile.

"Okay, when you win the championship, I will also give you a pair, a commemorative edition."

Lin Ying said with a smile.

"You can't lie to anyone."

When Delong heard this, every piece of flesh on his face expressed excitement.

The classic LinK-1 can be bought for a little money, but the commemorative edition is really priceless.

Lin Ying smiled and reached out to fist bump with Delong.

The two of them have reached an agreement.

…

After Thanksgiving, Americans begin to enter into a "waiting for the New Year" mentality similar to that in China.

Because in less than a month, it will be their most important day of the year, Christmas.

There are three Christmas games scheduled for this year against Stern, and the New York Derby is one of them.

The two championship teams are in the same city, and it is a big city like New York. It would be inappropriate not to arrange it.

And the Knicks are playing very strong this year.

Their record in November is 13 wins and 1 loss!

This record is only slightly worse than last year's Nets start.

Some fans were originally worried that Riley's strength would conflict with James' character.

But in the end that worry proved to be unfounded.

Although Riley has not coached for some years, his understanding of basketball has always been at the forefront.

The most classic one is that he proposed that the positions of basketball will become blurred in the future, and will eventually become five swingmen of about 2 meters.

Although his theory was not fully realized until Lin Ying's time, it was indeed developing in that direction.

And the more important point is the player mentality.

Next summer will be the contract option year for the Big Three in 2003.

They originally signed this contract to renew it, but if they fail to win the championship, no one can guarantee that they will stay, including themselves.

At such a juncture, they, especially James, would choose to give in many times.

The combination of these factors has resulted in the Knicks showing their strongest combat effectiveness in recent seasons.

Even better than the 2010~2011 season when they won the championship.

Even James, after saying "I want to bring 7 championships to New York," once again made a bold statement about winning the championship.

"It's now or never to win the championship!"

This sentence can be translated as "no retreat". James described this season as a season where he must win the championship.

Against this background, the New York Derby in this Christmas battle has been given higher expectations.

After all, the Nets are the defending champions, and if they want to win the championship, they must cross the Nets.

So with one month left before the Christmas game, the league has already begun to promote this derby game.

Domestic fans also call this game: NBA Spring Festival Gala.

…

Time flies to mid-December.

Over the past period, the Nets' rotation has undergone some changes.

First of all, Livingston has performed stably and has replaced Barbosa's previous rotation position.

Then Anderson squeezed out O'Neal's rotation position and became Chandler's first substitute.

Finally, Kirilenko suffered a back injury, and second-year rookie Crowder got some opportunities.

Claude has a 3D style of play, and he has been practicing with Lin Ying in the Breakfast Club, and his strength has improved.

It can be said that he finally waited for his opportunity, and then he took it immediately.

However, his temper was a bit hot. During the game against the Warriors, he had a conflict with Pachulia and punched him directly.

This punch cost him 25,000 yuan and was suspended for 3 games.

Of course, it also earned him a new nickname within the Nets: The Brooklyn Beast.

Why not call him Boxing Champion?

Because we already have Chandler and Deron!

And the nickname "Beast" can also highlight Crowder's passion for the game.

Crowder's defensive effort is very Butler-like.

…

As we get closer to the Christmas Day game, there are more and more discussions about the derby.

Even the New York media likened the Knicks to the Avengers.

"Captain America" ​​LeBron James;

"The Flash" Dwyane Wade;

"Beauty" Chris Bosh;

"Australian Hulk" Andrew Bogut;

"Hawkeye" Ray Allen;

"Black Widow" Tayshaun Prince;

and "Director of S.H.I.E.L.D." Pat Riley.

*Black Widow: In addition to the character in Marvel movies, it can also refer to the Black Widow poisonous spider, and Prince is also known as the defensive Spider-Man because of his excellent wingspan.

This has something to do with the popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. Last year, "Avengers 1" was a box office hit, and there was a lot of discussion about it in the American media.

As for why it is the Knicks, because the New York media is in Manhattan, they will naturally give the Knicks the name of "justice".

Moreover, the Knicks have so many stars that they can match the six superheroes in Marvel 1.

Even the Knicks lost to the Nets last year and they need revenge.

This wave even received official approval from James.

"I like how the media describes us, we are the Avengers."

Then, Lin Ying and the Nets automatically become villains.

You think Brooklyn is also New York, but the Knicks' accumulation in New York means that most of the city's resources are still tilted towards them.

Lin Ying's previous thoughts were right. One championship is not enough to change this.

This topic was once brought up by reporters to ask Lin Ying.

Lin Ying's reaction was also very interesting.

"Everyone likes revenge stories, and this is also a plot that can be found in many movies."

Lin Ying's first sentence is the truth, especially in the United States.

For example, "Dune", which is highly praised by Americans and is called a science fiction masterpiece by them, is actually a story about the revenge of a prince wrapped in a cool novel.

These plots are also found endlessly in Hollywood movies.

"But reading too many of the same stories always makes people feel numb, doesn't it?"

Lin Ying's next question was even more interesting.

"If it was a movie in which the villain triumphed, it would definitely be more popular."

There are not many movies in which the villain wins, but there are not many. In an era when revenge stories are rampant, there will indeed be very big gimmicks.

And this answer is domineering enough.

If you want me to be the villain, I'll do it. I'm the one who wrote the movie script anyway.

Of course, what Lin Ying didn't say is that even in a Marvel movie, he, who has opened his eyes, knows that in Avengers 3, Thanos is the winner.

It didn’t say that he had to be Loki in 1.

It can be said that Lin Ying's dialogue made the Christmas War even more heated.

And don't mention it, Lin Ying's theory of villain victory has been supported by many people, including some Hollywood directors.

Chinese-American director James Wan was the first to stand up and express his support for Lin Ying's views.

Not only because they all have yellow skin, but the "Saw" series directed by him are also classic villain-victory movies.

Anthony Russo, the up-and-coming director of "The Lost Boys," also supports Lin Ying.

“If The Avengers had a villain-victory part, it would be really shocking.”

Therefore, to the surprise of many people, this Christmas war has received unprecedented attention.

…

After training that day, Lin Ying found Su Feng and discussed something with Su Feng:

Invest in media.

This time the New York media caused trouble. Although he tried to fight back, it also made him realize the importance of the media.

He may never need to use the media to make decisions like James did, or to demonstrate the influence of players to the league.

However, next time you encounter such a speechless incident, at least you don't have to deal with it personally.

The two discussed it and finally decided on several guidelines.

One is to prepare to acquire some small media companies and then establish a new media company.

The reason why we don’t invest in large media outlets like ESPN, TNT, and FOX is also very simple: they don’t need it.

The second is to directly acquire TMZ.

TMZ is an American entertainment media, and it basically focuses on the scandals of Los Angeles celebrities.

Therefore, although its influence is great, it is actually not valuable and will not exceed 50 million.

The reason why Lin Ying had the idea to acquire it by the way was because Kanye West had once again criticized Swift over the matter of robbing the wheat.

If these two parts are completed, Lin Shigong Investment Company will become a large-scale comprehensive investment company spanning music, film, real estate, and media.

After the chat, Lin Yingshun asked Su Feng to make an appointment with Buffett.

His current investment relies on his clairvoyance, but he himself does not actually have much business experience.

It’s also a good idea to have a dinner date with the “stock god” to enrich your business abilities.

…

Just as the outside world is looking forward to this Christmas game, another critical day for the NBA has arrived.

The 2014 NBA All-Star voting has begun.

If nothing else, Lin Ying still has a great chance to win the vote again.

At this time, Lin Ying received a call from Tatum.

Tatum will be the next president of the league, which is a good thing for Lin Ying. The two have a very good private relationship and have a lot of exchanges.

Tatum called this time to invite Lin Ying to participate in the dunk contest.

In the past two years, the attention of individual competitions has been relatively low, and the league hopes that Lin Ying can pay attention to it.

Lin Ying agreed.

He had a smooth sailing last season. It's okay to say that Stern supported Brooklyn, but that's part of why he wasn't targeted.

After all, he's not wearing Nike, and he's not American.

And this was not targeted. Lin Ying had some connections with helping Stern "redeem his honor" in the All-Star Game.

At that time, James stated that he did not want to fight, and Stern also used Tatum to find him.

The same thing happened again, and Tatum is about to become the next president, which is not a blessing.

When it comes to owing favors, there's no harm in being a little more.

But he made a request, he wanted JR Smith to participate.

How can we have a topic without a partner?

If it weren't for Durant not being very good at dunking, he would also want to drag Durant into the water.

Of course Tatum will not refuse. JR's reputation with the Nets this season is very good, he plays very well, and the key is that he can really dunk.

Even he and Lin Ying are the former 91 team. If he and Lin Ying compete together, there will be more topics.

…

Time flies, and Christmas Eve has arrived in a blink of an eye.

It's snowing in New York.

Lin Ying remembered that the last time it snowed in New York was two years ago.

The reason why the memory is so profound is that it was the first time he and Swift discussed English learning.

He's pretty fast considering that, and Swift is now his fiancée and the mother of his child.

On Christmas Eve this year, Swift prepared a Christmas outfit for Lin Ying.

If you want to tie a man's heart, in addition to holding his stomach, there is another way, which is to let the man,

Can't get out of bed.
