This Forward is Not Serious

"team leader?"

When he learned about this, Lin Ying was playing ball with Xiao Lin Yi.

Xiao Lin Yi grew up very quickly. He was already 1.3 meters tall when he was just 5 years old, and was taller than his peers.

And unlike Lin Ying, because he has played with various basketball masters since he was a child, his sense of the ball is very good.

New words such as the next league card, NBA's strongest father and son, tiger father without dog son, etc. are already vaguely visible.

Xiao Lin Yi was swinging his legs to drink water, while Lin Ying picked up the phone and saw the news.

Since there was no news about this matter before, Lin Ying had forgotten about it.

But he was also very interested in this matter.

Because he also wants to know who will be the last one.

In history, James Harden is the poor guy who was the last one left for two consecutive years.

You can say this is a kind of metaphysics, or maybe Harden is somewhat uninterested when getting along with superstars.

After all, the NBA is the highest stage of world basketball, but it is actually a small circle.

Because those who can enter this stage to play are basically those with top talents, and superstars have played for a long time.

Basketball is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships. There is some truth to this statement.

During the training session the next day, Durant ran to Lin Ying with a smile on his face, and even courteously gave Lin Ying small items worth hundreds of thousands.

Although Durant didn't speak, Lin Ying could guess why he did this.

I want to be his number one pick!

This is understandable. After all, as a twin star, if Lin Ying didn't choose him, he would definitely be in trouble.

Lin Ying accepted his small items, but still told Durant his thoughts.

If he was the first pick, he was prepared to leave the first pick to someone else and then pick him with the second pick.

Durant was about to snatch the small object back, but after hearing what Lin Ying said, he immediately retracted his outstretched hand.

"If I become an opponent, I will go all out."

However, he still said the cruel words proudly.

Lin Ying smiled and nodded.

After being teammates together for so long, he has almost forgotten what it feels like to be an opponent with Durant.

A week later, in the TNT studio, the Big Four plus Lin Ying and Curry appeared on the live broadcast.

According to official statistics, the ratings of this show even exceeded the previous Christmas war, and were on par with the season opener.

Watching the excitement is not a unique hobby of Chinese people, but is shared by people all over the world.

Before the show started, Lin Ying and Curry laughed and chatted for a while.

Although they are rivals on the field, they respect each other.

Especially this season after James left, Curry has returned to his peak performance, which is still worthy of respect.

Of course, in this kind of situation, you will inevitably have to communicate for a while before starting, such as who will you choose with the first pick, and whether you will choose James.

The first questions were quite candid and even conflicting, but the latter questions made both of them smile knowingly.

There is no tense atmosphere, but the selection process will become very interesting.

After saying hello, Lin Ying and Curry took their seats, the live broadcast began, and TNT's Big Four also began to warm up.

They also praised the reform of the alliance.

After all, from 1951 to the present, more than sixty and almost seventy years have passed, and the melody of the confrontation between the East and the West has never changed.

This kind of melody cannot be said to be problematic, but a posture will lose its flavor no matter how comfortable it is for a long time, and the All-Star Game has always been about entertainment. Even if it is done like this, those who are strong have no chance to win the MVP because of the strength of the East and West. Players also have a chance to compete.

The selection is about to begin, and the Big Four have also released the results of this year's All-Star Game.

First up is the starter.

Eastern Team: DeRozan, Kobe, Durant, Lin Ying, Jokic;

Western Team: Curry, Harden, James, Green, Anthony Davis;

When the starting lineup came out, the Big Four had another discussion.

Because here in the East, the Nets have four seats!

It has been rare in history for a team to have four players selected. This is definitely the only time in history.

And because of Kobe's special nature, this kind of thing probably won't happen again in the future.

Then they also feel sorry for Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo's performance this season is better than last season, but the Bucks' record cannot improve, and Jokic's performance this season also makes people feel his dominance.

After enough warm-ups, the official selection session is finally coming.

Because you have to decide who gets to go first, it’s a very classic coin toss.

The person who tossed the silver coin was Barkley, and Lin Ying and Curry each chose a side.

Buckley tossed it casually, and the final result came out, with Lin Ying choosing first.

After seeing the result, Buckley stood up and gave Lin Ying a high-five. First, there was no doubt about Lin Chui's identity.

But this thing is purely luck. After all, Barkley is a commentator, not a magician, and he can control the front and back of the coin.

Lin Ying chose first, and the names of the eight starters also appeared behind them on the home screen of the TV audience.

Lin Ying just thought for a moment and then gave the answer.

"Kobe Bryant."

Kobe, this wave of respect was immediately overwhelming, and several people in the studio also smiled and nodded.

The same goes for Curry. He and Lin Ying both said before that they would choose Kobe Bryant with the first pick.

If Kobe comes back to finish the season, unless the Nets fail to win the championship, there is a high probability that he will retire again.

Although everything looks good, it can be seen from Kobe's rotation that what he needs to pay is not as good as imagined.

So in such a big context, it would be very meaningful to give Kobe Bryant a feeling similar to that of The Last Dance.

After Lin Ying's selection, Kobe's name automatically came to the Eastern Team.

Then, it’s Curry’s choice.

Although Lin Ying's first choice was reasonable, it was still unexpected.

So before Curry made his choice, the Big Four also began to speculate on Curry's choice.

Both Barkley and McGrady believed that Curry would choose Green. After all, among the remaining seven people, Green has the best relationship with Curry.

O'Neal believes that Curry will choose James because James' personal strength is the best among the remaining players.

Smith has always adhered to his considerable principle and believes that Curry will choose Jokic, because in terms of adaptability, Jokic is Green's two plus, and Curry will play very comfortably.

After their discussion ended, it was finally Curry's turn to make a choice.

Then his choice surprised everyone present.

He chose Durant!

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment.

After finishing his selection, Curry smiled at Lin Ying and nodded crazily.

This means that if Lin Ying chooses what he wants to choose, then he can only choose what Lin Ying would choose with the second overall pick.

This is also easy to guess. It was an accident for Lin Ying to choose Kobe, but it was impossible not to choose Durant.

This wave of operations also excited the fans in front of the TV.

They were already very interested in this show, and then there was such a "confrontational" scene from the beginning. How could this not be exciting?

Lin Ying, who originally wanted to be the second overall pick, was taken away, but now his choice began to become suspenseful.

The Big Four all guessed that Lin Ying would choose Green this time.

After all, it is indecent to come back and not reciprocate.

As for the previous feud between the two, on the stage of the All-Star Game, that kind of thing actually has little impact.

But once again, their guess failed.

Because Lin Ying chose Jokic.

Compared with Kobe, Lin Ying's choice can be said to be very rational.

Because now that Durant is gone, he has to consider forming a team.

He is a forward, and if he chooses a defender, he must choose an inside man.

Among the remaining 6 people, there are only two true insiders, Davis and Jokic.

If Lin Ying chooses, Jokic will definitely be the first choice. This is not entirely a comparison of personal strength, but a choice between two. Who would not choose a teammate?

Apart from anything else, the tacit understanding is natural. Although it is an entertainment game, if you are aiming to win, this is very important.

Of course, I still have to sigh. If Lin Ying wants to choose, he can at least choose two of his teammates in this selection. This is the advantage of having more teammates.

Lin Ying made this choice, and the originally "confrontational" atmosphere began to turn into a "competitive" one.

After Lin Ying, Curry also chose Anthony Davis.

In this way, both sides already have three candidates, and they are all composed of defender + small forward + center, which is equivalent to having a "team skeleton."

Lin Ying's next choice will become very critical.

Because now his team still lacks a point guard and a forward.

If it's a point guard, Harden is almost the only choice.

But as a forward, eh, yes, James.

The Big Four were analyzing and analyzing, and suddenly discovered that James had not been selected yet!

And it is quite reasonable that this one was not selected.

Because Curry chose Durant when he was supposed to choose James, this means that James is not so indispensable.

As for Lin Ying, he can do everything James can do, and there is no reason to choose James.

All the fans began to worry vaguely. James... wouldn't he be the one left in the starting lineup?

Lin Ying's third pick in the starting lineup, he quickly gave the answer.

James Harden.

It's James, but not that James.

Lin Ying still followed the rationality of team formation. Now Lin Ying's team has point guards, guards, forwards, and centers. Whoever is left to choose does not affect the overall strength.

Curry also made a choice, and he chose DeRozan.

The effect of this wave of programs is once again explosive!

At this point in the selection process, who is selected is no longer completely controlled by the person making the selection.

Because if Curry chooses Green, if Lin Ying chooses DeRozan, then he will not even be able to find a partner in the backcourt.

So you can't say that he is not affectionate towards Green with this choice. It is a very rational choice.

But in this way, Lin Ying fell into the final choice.

James and Green, he has to choose one!

The four giants in the live broadcast room burst out laughing.

Lin Ying also frowned at the names of the two people and fell into a tangle.

He didn't expect that things would develop to this situation.

Neither Green nor James was what he wanted to choose.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, this is like having to choose between shit-flavored chocolate and chocolate-flavored shit.

Whichever one you choose will make you feel uncomfortable all over.

But this result is also his own cause and effect, because he chose Kobe first, which led to the current situation.

Lin Ying was struggling, and several people in the live broadcast room were booing.

Barkley suggested that Lin Ying choose James. After all, Lin Ying had a very suitable reason to choose a stronger player.

After struggling, Lin Ying finally gave the answer.

He chose Green.

And he gave his reasons.

"What fans want to see is a suspenseful game. I recognize LeBron's strength. If he comes to my side, our strength will be much better."

This sentence left the four people in the live broadcast room speechless.

This time Lin Ying not only gave James enough face, but also came up with a suitable reason.

That is, some fans were immediately happy after thinking about it.

Because Lin Ying's choice can be summed up in one sentence: I recognize your strength, but I won't choose you!

So in the end, James was left after all!

"At least James is the starter this year, isn't he?"

At this time, a comment made by a fan named "James' No. 1 Fan" on social media triggered another wave of explosive heated discussions.

This is obviously a connotation of a negative fan.

Because this seemed to be a rebuttal for James, but it reminded fans of the previous incident when James was eliminated from the starting lineup in the East.

Some people have even begun to hypothesize that if James does not enter the starting lineup this year, will he be left behind in the end?

Many people unanimously think... yes!

Although there are many reasons and reasons, Lin Ying and Curry obviously have no intention of choosing James.

Needless to say, Lin Ying and James both have ball-carrying and super-core playing styles, and their compatibility is very poor. Moreover, the two of them also have a lot of grievances on and off the court.

Not to mention Curry. After what he experienced last year, he finally chose to side with Green.

He has not chosen Green. If he chooses James, Green will definitely get angry with him.

After analyzing it this way, this is really a high probability event.

So in the end, another world in which only James was injured was achieved!

And this time James really didn't do anything. A cauldron fell from the sky and knocked him unconscious.

I can't say it's innocent, but it's definitely a bit embarrassing.

Even because of this, not many people care about who is left last when selecting the substitute lineup.

One of human instincts is to find the source of happiness.

ps: Today is Shui Qie’s birthday. I am already 32 years old. In the blink of an eye, I started writing books when I was 23. It has been more than 9 years now and I have been full-time for more than 5 years. Time flies so fast. Maybe this life is in a trance. Maybe it's over.

Birthday wishes, I wish you and the people around you, including you lovely ones, good health and prosperity.
