This Forward is Not Serious

The next day, Lin Ying packed up his things and asked Su Feng to check them for him. Then he went to the airport with Teacher Tony to prepare for New Jersey.

What he didn't expect was that when he arrived at the airport, there were already many fans waiting for him.

Regarding why these people know the time of his flight ticket, the ability of fans is always beyond your imagination.

The point is, there are really a lot of people.

Those people held up signs such as "Lin, we love you forever" and "Lin, thank you."

The emotions of the Suns players are actually a concrete expression of the Suns fans.

Lin Ying helped the Suns defeat the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, and then guarded James to help the Suns win the first championship in team history.

The moment Lin Ying held up the FMVP trophy, his name was destined to be engraved in the hearts of Suns fans forever.

So after knowing that Lin Ying was traded, they cursed Sarver, Blanks, and even Cole, but they would not say anything about Lin Ying.

Apart from gratitude, they really couldn't find any second emotion towards Lin Ying.

And many fans are emotionally shattered.

It felt like the superhero who once protected them in a superhero movie was leaving them on this day.

Lin Ying stopped to take photos and sign autographs with these people.

The devastated state of those fans rubbed off on him.

Especially when a fan shouted "We could have won many more championships", he almost lost his grip.

It wasn't until he got on the plane that his mood gradually recovered.

"Want me to change your hairstyle?"

Teacher Tony suddenly asked.

"Change your hair and start a new life."

Teacher Tony continued to explain.

Lin Ying nodded.

So what new hairstyle should I get?

This is another thing worth pondering.

As the plane took off, looking at the shrinking buildings and cities outside the window, Lin Ying also began to think about something about the Nets.

Although it was a sign-and-trade, the price the Nets paid for him this time was not small.

The fundamental reason is that he is a restricted free agent.

If the Suns don't agree to sign and trade, they can directly match the contract and send him to another team. The Nets will end up with nothing.

It’s just that after this transaction, Gerald Wallace is gone, and so is Lopez.

Are he and Deron the only ones left on the Nets?

Yi Jianlian doesn't know if he will renew his contract. Butler is only in his second year and is only a starting-level player at best.

This lineup is very thin.

However, if the transaction is completed like this, the Nets' salary space will be very sufficient.

Now that the free market is coming to an end, several big fish have entered their respective fish tanks. It seems that there is nothing left, right?

Stroke it.

Durant re-signs with Thunder;

Gasol re-signs with Grizzlies;

Anthony re-signs with Heat;

Yao Ming transfers to Mavericks;

Paul moves to Lakers;

Howard transfers to Heat;

He moved to the Nets;

Who else is coming?

It seems to be gone.

Oh, except for the big fish.

Nene jumped out of his contract and joined the Wizards with a five-year, 67 million contract.

Prince renewed his four-year contract worth nearly 30 million with the Pistons.

David West joined the Pacers for 20 million in 2 years.

It seems like Caron Butler hasn’t heard the news about signing?

Are the Nets preparing to form a double-Butler combination?

Kirilenko seems to have signed with a Russian team.

Including JR Smith also went to China to pan for gold as in history.

Let's see how Warken Dean operates.

Sometimes air is also very valuable.

…

When he got off the plane, Walken Dean was already waiting for him with his assistant.

When he saw Lin Ying, Dean Walken came up to him and gave him a big hug.

That feeling was just like what he said on the phone. I had been waiting for him for a long time!

Lin Ying indeed felt more cordial.

Walken Dean also quickly introduced him to Avery Johnson, the current head coach of the Nets.

The Nets achieved a record of 58 losses under his leadership last season.

Well, of course it has something to do with the team lineup.

You must know that the Nets also experienced a big deal in the middle of last season.

Lin Ying smiled and shook hands with Johnson.

Johnson also smiled, but it seemed forced.

And when they got into the car and Lin Ying and Walken Dean were chatting passionately, Johnson was silent there.

Here, the team's head coach seems a bit introverted.

Of course, Lin Ying's focus is not there now, because Dean Walken told him some pretty exciting news.

Nets, signed Tyson Chandler!

Chandler!

Lin Ying slapped his thigh, how could he forget about him!

In history, Chandler went to New York to team up with Anthony, and then led Anthony to second place in the Eastern Conference.

Now, New York belongs to James. The Heat have already traded for Howard and don't need Chandler.

In addition, the Mavericks also signed Yao Ming, and the Nets seem to have become his only destination.

And with Chandler, they have this defense now.

Don't tell me, it's a nightmare for a breakthrough player like Janeway!

Unless the two brothers develop stable shooting in advance, it's really not that easy for the Knicks to beat them.

"Will Yi renew the contract?"

Lin Ying couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, because there is room to sign Tyson, his extension will be delayed."

When he heard this, Lin Ying suddenly wanted to laugh.

Originally, he suggested that Yi Jianlian switch to 3D to help him adapt to the NBA, but he didn't expect that he would now be a teammate.

So, I actually trained myself as teammates earlier?

This result is particularly interesting to read.

And if this lineup is strengthened, it will not be a problem to compete with the Knicks within two or three years!

…

Speaking of the Nets' home court, this is another very interesting story.

The reason why the Nets are worthless has a lot to do with this.

Prior to this, the Nets' home court was called the Continental Airlines Center, or IZOD Center for short, and fans nicknamed it the "Beating Center."

The arena is not small and can accommodate 20,000 spectators to watch the game at the same time.

But the problem is that this arena is too old. It was built in 1981, and it was built directly near the swamp!

There is an American town called East Rutherford over there!

Want to go to a home game? Then you have to drive a bit, I-95 is direct, but it may take a little long.

In the past, when the team was strong and the lineup was good, fans were willing to drive there.

Later, the team's strength deteriorated, so go see a ghost!

So two seasons ago, the Nets' attendance was second to last in the league, tied with the Grizzlies next door.

So Prokhorov bought the team and saw, is this okay?

what to do?

Throw money!

In fact, former owner Bruce Laettner is already working on relocating and building a new arena.

But this thing is too expensive. The Nets' attendance rate is not good and they have been losing money. They were forced to sell when they couldn't play anymore.

Prokhorov, a Russian tycoon, may be short of other things, but he is not short of money.

So with a big wave of his hand, Brooklyn's arena accelerated and blocked the ball.

No, in the summer of 2012, Nets players will be able to go to Barclays Center for training!

And as early as last year, the Nets had already started selling tickets.

Deron and Lin Ying have joined the team one after another, and now ticket sales are also soaring.

Then during the transition period, the Nets no longer played in that remote town.

So with a big wave of his hand, before moving to Brooklyn, the Nets will play at the Prudential Center in Newark, the capital of New Jersey.

The Prudential Center, also known as the Prudential Center, was originally the home of the NHL's New Jersey Devils.

Although there are not as many seats here as in the beating center, the arena is obviously more modern and is located in the state capital, so the attendance rate is not low.

This is also where Dean Walken takes Lin Ying to now.

Arriving at the arena, Lin Ying saw at a glance that the new arena was an oval building, which was much drab than the American Airlines Center.

However, after entering, I found that it was exactly what Walken Dean said, it was very modern and much better than the American Airlines Center.

Walken Dean took him directly to the locker room.

When he arrived, someone was there.

On the way here, Warken Dean also told him the basic roster of the team.

Point Guard: Deron Williams, Jordan Farmar, Sundieta Gaines

Shooting Guards: Jimmy Butler, Marshon Brooks, Anthony Morrow

Front: Lin Ying, Keith Bogans

Power forward: Humphries, Yi Jianlian, Jordan Williams

Center: Tyson Chandler, John Petro, Sheldon Williams

*Chandler signed a 4-year, 52 million contract; Yi Jianlian signed a 3-year, 10 million contract extension; Humphries signed a 2-year, 16 million contract extension (the second year is a team option)

Entering the locker room now, Lin Ying found that all he saw were familiar faces.

Deron, Butler, Farmar, Bogans, Petro, Gaines.

Needless to say, Deron and Butler.

The rest, Petrol was his teammate when he was with the Nuggets.

Farmar is a former Lakers player, and he often encountered him when playing against the Lakers.

Bogans used to be a strong player, but now he has transformed into a 3D player. His style is somewhat similar to Stevenson of the Mavericks.

And this Gaines.

This was like thunder, Lin Ying had heard it in his previous life.

When he first entered the NBA, he got a ten-day short contract with the Jazz. As a result, on the 9th day, he defeated the Cavaliers with a three-pointer and James' 20 points in a single quarter were in vain.

That one ball opened the door to the NBA, and he was regarded as an inspirational model back then.

When Delong saw Lin Ying coming, he immediately came up to say hello with a smile.

He had wanted to play ball with Lin Ying for a while.

In fact, let alone Deron, just like Lin Ying's style of play in the Suns, not occupying the ball, defending and carrying, and being aggressive at critical moments. Which superstar would not want to cooperate with this style of play?

Lin Ying was also polite.

His impression of Deron basically comes from the time-traveling Sky Eyes and an All-Star Game where they had good cooperation.

As for Deron, he is actually not familiar with him.

After finishing the courtesy, Lin Ying started chatting with little Jimmy.

If you want to talk about familiarity, you are familiar with this fanboy of yours. It is much better than the relationship between Petro and his former teammates.

While they were chatting, Walken Dean went for a while and came back.

When I came back, two people came back.

Chandler and Yi.

They are here to sign a contract with the team.

Yi Jianlian was very excited when he saw Lin Ying's eyes, but he was still shy. He just came up to say hello and fist bump with Lin Ying, and then sat next to Lin Ying's seat.

Chandler, on the other hand, gave Lin Ying a bear hug, and then pulled Lin Ying to talk about last season's playoffs. It was a bit like heroes meeting each other, but they didn't know each other even if they didn't fight.

It is said that Chandler looks a bit like Lu Zhishen. Judging from his acting style, he does look a bit like that.

While they were chatting, Walken Dean came in again.

He had a busy day going in and out.

He came in, called Lin Ying out, and then told him good news.

He just took down Shane Battier!

Battier's contract also expired this summer. He was originally waiting for Yao Ming to make a decision, and then wanted to play with Yao Ming again.

However, the Mavericks only had one mid-level player, and they finally gave it to Carter. Battier did not go to Dallas.

So Shane has been busy these past few days.

Several teams, including the Knicks, Lakers, Nets, Suns, etc., are all making offers to him.

In the end, Battier chose to join the Nets.

The Nets' advantage over other teams is that they still have salary space before Humphries and Yi Jianlian renew their contracts.

Deron is worth 1,600+, Lin Ying is worth 1,700+, and Chandler is worth 1,300+. The total of these three core players is only 46 million. Even if role players are included, they are still far away from the salary cap.

Is it possible to see the Nets’ purpose in renewing Humphries at a high price? Walken Dean is a bit of a donkey looking for a horse.

Therefore, the Nets offered Battier a three-year contract worth 12 million.

This contract was not very competitive in previous years. After all, in previous years, the highest salary for the middle class could reach 5 million per year.

But the situation is different this year. Teams with over-tax rates can only offer 3 million one-year contracts.

Otherwise, why do you think the new collective bargaining agreement distinguishes between the middle class of teams that are over-taxed and those that are not?

The bosses in small cities are afraid of losing money, and they have already thought of all the tricks they can use!

However, Lin Ying felt that Shane was not here entirely for money, but this was definitely a good thing.

With the addition of Battier, the Nets lineup instantly feels much stronger!

You must know that a team can only play 8 to 10 players at most in the playoffs, and the rest have basically no playing time.

Now the Nets have five starters, plus Farmar, Bogans, Yi Jianlian on the bench, plus Battier, which is enough.

…

Lin Ying met his new teammates in Newark.

This kind of thing was happening almost at the same time in other teams in the NBA.

The free market is about to end, signings are basically over, and each team's roster has been released one after another.

Here are some key signings:

The Heat chose to amnesty veteran Baron Davis, but because no team bid, Davis ultimately chose to join the Mavericks;

The Rockets chose to amnesty veteran Billups, and the Heat eventually bid $2 million to get it (because they gained salary space by amnestying Davis);

Caron Butler signed with the Heat on a three-year, 24 million contract. According to the latest news, Anthony will switch to power forward in the new season (I am not trying to hide from Lin Ying);

The Magic and the Knicks reached a back-and-forth agreement. Jason Richardson signed a four-year, $25 million extension and swapped clubs with Wilson Chandler;

Landry joined the Knicks for a full mid-level salary of 9 million in three years;

McGrady joined the Lakers with a one-year minimum salary.
