This Forward is Not Serious

"I didn't expect that Deron would recognize you so much. He is not a person who easily submits to others."

When only the two of them were left in the room, Sloan spoke.

Lin Ying glanced at the door unconsciously.

He didn't think the sound insulation effect of this wooden house was very good. Delong and the others were probably listening outside the door.

"Maybe I'm easier to get along with."

Lin Ying said with a smile.

"No, unless you're much better than him."

Sloan continued.

Lin Ying smiled awkwardly, Sloan really didn't know how to be polite, he was always so direct.

"I read the newspaper. You did really well. I told you before that you were better than Andre."

Sloan continued.

It was also the first time that Sloan showed a gentler side in front of Lin Ying.

Lin Ying looked at Sloan in surprise.

Lindsey said earlier that Sloan doesn't read newspapers. This is such a slap in the face!

Outside the house, Delong, who was eavesdropping, also glanced at Lindsey suspiciously.

Lindsey's face looked slightly embarrassed.

He didn't have much contact with Sloan after Sloan retired.

Lin Ying gradually recovered from the surprise, then nodded with a smile.

This is actually normal.

Judging from Lindsey's description, Sloan should be a person who is very passionate about basketball.

If he were coaching, he would be eager to devote all his time to it.

Learning how to use the phone and read a newspaper takes up a lot of time.

But since he is retired and no longer has to teach, he may still not be interested in computers, but reading newspapers should be normal.

"Actually, I no longer blame that boy Deron, but I can't forgive him."

Sloan then said something contradictory.

What this means is that he has also figured out that even if Deron does not conflict with him, it will be difficult for him to win the championship.

Because Boozer had already left by then.

But he couldn't forgive Deron, because Deron made himself feel not only unable to win the championship, but unable to even control the team.

That is equivalent to telling him that he is a complete loser!

Lin Ying heard a lot of emotions from these words, including sadness, loss, and sadness.

At this time, Delong's fists outside the house were clenched unconsciously.

Sloan should know that he is out there and use this method to tell him that he has been forgiven.

He wanted to rush in and tell them that they actually had a chance to try again.

But soon he remembered his status in the team, and he couldn't actually decide anything.

"I have an idea."

At this moment, Lin Ying made a decision.

Because in addition to sadness, loss and sadness, he also felt another kind of emotion from Sloan's words.

eager.

That was one of the important things he felt in Phoenix to win a championship.

Sloan may be the answer.

Sloan looked at Lin Ying doubtfully.

"Coach Sloan, would you like to try out in Brooklyn?"

Lin Ying then spoke.

Although Lin Ying cannot directly decide on the head coach, if he and Deron recommend it together, the matter can basically be settled.

"No."

What Lin Ying didn't expect was that Sloan refused directly.

And he knew that Lin Ying had good intentions, so he quickly gave his reasons.

"I'm an old man who has lived in Utah for 20 years. I'm very familiar with everything here. You know what? I can even grow corn in the fields in Salt Lake City. The key is that you have to grow it earlier than other places. Plant them.”

Sloan showed a kind of heartfelt excitement when he said this.

"It's too difficult for me to adapt to a new environment at my current age. Son, I know you mean well to me, but I'm really too old. I'm going to be 70 years old soon."

Sloan really had no intention of hiding his inner thoughts.

Lin Ying felt a little more energetic.

Although it was a brief exchange, Sloan's straightforwardness was to his liking.

"Even if it's for the championship, can't you adapt?"

Lin Ying's next words stunned Sloan.

sure!

There is such a voice in his heart.

But he was more worried that he had finally raised his hopes, only to be disappointed in the end.

A 70-year-old person really can't stand that kind of torment.

"In our country, there is a man named Lian Po. There is a saying that Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?"

Lin Ying saw that Sloan was silent and knew that his heart must be moved.

To use an inappropriate example, Sloan is a man who has been pursuing a goddess for more than 20 years without success.

Now that the goddess has agreed to go on a date with him, how could she not be tempted?

So what Lin Ying is doing now is to relieve his last worry.

Although Lin Ying was not a Chinese class representative before, he still knew some allusions.

After telling the story of Lian Po, he then cited the example of Huang Zhong.

Then at the end, he said something from his heart.

"The Nets will certainly not be the favorite, like the Jazz were before, but isn't that more like a continuation of a story?"

Sloan was stunned.

"I need to think about it."

Sloan hesitated for a long time and finally gave this answer.

Lin Ying nodded.

Although he felt a little excited, he had already said all he could say.

If Sloan really can't get over his own psychological hurdle, then that's all.

…

"Lin, thank you."

After coming out of Sloan's house, Delong thanked Lin Ying.

He knew that Lin Ying invited Sloan in the end, largely because of himself.

"Actually, I also want to know whether the pick-and-roll tactic can be successful."

Lin Ying said.

There were many reasons why he invited Sloan, and he mentioned the easiest one.

Jordan ruined too many people's championship dreams back then, and the worst was probably Sloan and his Utah duo.

If it weren't for Jordan, they might both have won two championships.

Then, now there is no Jordan.

This is an interesting hypothesis.

"can."

Delong replied quickly.

He should be more convinced than he was with the Jazz.

Lin Ying smiled.

He also felt from Deron what he felt from Sloan before.

Desire, desire for a championship.

If Sloan agrees to coach the Nets, they will be very hopeful.

…

Lin Ying left Utah, but instead of returning to Newark, he flew directly to Los Angeles.

Swift was doing activities there, and Durant also invited him to watch the Lakers-Culture game in the Western Conference Finals.

Swift’s belly…

Of course you can't tell.

Swift got pregnant almost in March, and now it's been more than two months.

Generally, there will be no obvious bulge in the belly until four or five months old.

So whether Swift should attend the event or attend the event at this time.

Lin Ying's appearance was also a big surprise for fans, and the event was a bit chaotic.

But Lin Ying is an oversized bodyguard and has always protected Swift well.

That's not just Swift, but also their Xiao Linying!

After attending the event, they found a place nearby to eat.

It was at the dinner table that Swift told Lin Ying something.

She is already writing the fourth song of "my.lover".

Lin Ying: I don’t resist anymore, just enjoy it.

However, she did not reveal what she wrote this time, and also said that she was planning to sing at the Nets' opening game of the new season.

This piqued Lin Ying's curiosity.

Don't tell me, for no other reason than this, he wants to start the new season as early as possible.

After dinner, they went to Staples Center, where they met Durant...

Damn it!

Who is next to Durant?

That sexy figure, proud breasts, and that charming face.

Scarlett Johansson!

This is amazing, my Kevin!

We really made a date!

Oh no, judging from the way the two communicated, this must not be the first time.

He was too focused on the game and didn't even pay attention to the news!

Du Zilong is well-deserved!

If a problem can be solved with a spear, what love skills are needed!

At this time, Scarlett was already considered a first-line movie star in Hollywood. She had just received her name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, becoming the 2,470th star.

She has also participated in the Marvel movie "Iron Man 2" and became famous for her role as Black Widow.

Let’s not talk about anything else. If you want to play cosplay, Durant said that there will be no long slopes tonight and he will fight all night long!

After entering the arena, they were sitting in the front row and constantly attracted the shots of on-site photographers.

The starlight on the sidelines is stronger than on the field!

Lin Ying and Durant sat in the middle. They looked at each other and smiled in unison.

It’s time to make a career!

Back then, the two Texas twin stars were lonely and the other was a picky one. Unexpectedly, they would now find a singer and a movie queen respectively!

Mom no longer has to worry about us not being able to find girlfriends!

Wanda: So I’m in the atmosphere!

The two then chatted about the current format of the Western Conference Finals.

Two games of the Western Conference Finals have been played, and the score between the two sides is 1-1.

In G1, Kobe was in hot form, scoring 43 points to help the Lakers defeat the Mavericks.

But the G2 Mavericks flanked Kobe. Although the rest of the Lakers were also in good shape, the Mavericks also played well offensively, and the Mavericks pulled back a victory.

So in general, the Lakers have now seized the home court advantage and have the initiative in the series.

Kobe saw Lin Ying and Durant there and came over to say hello.

After all, we had a special training together in Sanya that year, and Durant was killed by Kobe not long ago.

After a while, Yao Ming also came over to meet Lin Ying.

The two opponents on the field seemed to have formed some kind of special bond because of Lin Ying.

"Ying, who do you think can win?"

Durant also chatted with Lin Ying.

Lin Ying shook his head.

he does not know.

Although the Lakers exposed the problem of older substitutes when they played against the Thunder, that is relative.

They have old arms and legs, but the Mavericks are even older!

So this weakness does not exist in this series.

So, it’s all about the details.

The coaches on both sides are top-notch, so it's hard to tell who is better.

As for the lineup, the Mavericks' inside advantage and the Lakers' outside advantage both have their own strengths.

It’s really hard to say who is a sure winner.

"I'm optimistic about the Lakers."

When Durant saw that Lin Ying didn't express his opinion, he took the initiative to express his opinion.

"They beat us after all."

Lin Ying: I'll do it!

As expected of you!

But it can be said that the Thunder are very strong this year and can reach the finals at the same time in history.

Being able to defeat the Thunder shows that the Lakers' strength has indeed reached a certain level.

The game has begun.

The fans in Los Angeles were enthusiastic, and Kobe's touch was also extremely hot.

And Paul was in surprisingly good shape tonight.

On the other hand, for the Mavericks, Los Angeles' basket seemed to be covered.

Moreover, Yao Ming's several strong attacks were violated and he did not get any whistles.

It started with a 12-0 score.

The Mavericks are facing a disaster.

However, under this situation, the Mavericks' mental outlook is very "surprising".

There is a shot.

Kobe passed Artest's defense and went straight to the basket, but Nowitzki, who looked like a caveman with a beard, was stunned by Kobe's interference.

And after the defense was down, Terry, who had just been substituted, received a long pass from Yao Ming and scored on a fast break!

If you didn't look at the score, you would have thought the Mavericks were leading now!

It was at this moment that Lin Ying saw something familiar from this Mavericks team: desire.

Not only what he felt with Jerry Sloan and Deron before, but also what he felt in Phoenix.

This Mavericks team has a desire to win and a championship more than any other team.

"Kevin, I like the Mavericks."

Lin Ying gave his own opinion at this time.

"Shall we make a bet?"

Durant heard that the two people had different opinions and said accordingly.

Lin Ying held his forehead, maybe he was infected by Barkley.

"The winner can make the loser do one thing."

Durant also said a more interesting bet.

"You can't break the law."

Lin Ying reminded.

"of course not."

After the two people finished talking, they fist bumped and then reached an agreement.

While they were talking, the situation on the field changed.

Kobe's touch dropped slightly, and the Mavericks began to catch up.

Nowitzki hit back continuously against the defense, while Yao Ming guarded the hinterland of the Mavericks penalty area.

Tonight, the Dallas Twin Towers did not have a two-pronged approach, but became both offensive and defensive.

And as the game became more and more intense, the Mavericks tried their best in every round.

In a daze, Lin Ying and Durant seemed to have returned to the NCAA finals, where they were fighting against the University of Florida.

The Lone Star Republic blew the horn and launched a charge towards the magnificent United States.

They have no hesitation and they move forward courageously.

118 to 109.

The Mavericks finally reversed the Lakers, rewriting the score to 2-1 and regaining the home court advantage.

Nowitzki broke out tonight, making 15 of 23 offensive shots and scoring 40 points with extremely high efficiency.

He did this at the age of 33, and he is on par with many superstars.

Yao Ming also had an outstanding performance with 18 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks.

…

After watching the Lake-Ox War, Lin Ying and Swift returned to Newark together.

In addition to training with Grover, Lin Ying also learned about pregnancy.

Although having money to hire personal care saves time and effort, this is an attitude.

The child is born for two people.

A few days later, Lin Ying received a call from Sloan.

“Is there room in Brooklyn for an old timer?”
