Lin Yi and his teammates were lively in the locker room for a while before leaving.

When Babyface knew that Lin Yi didn't go to dinner with everyone to celebrate, the elementary school students were very unhappy at first, but after Lin Yi said that he had an appointment with Yao Ming in advance, Stephen Curry gave Lin Yi a thumbs up: "That's cool, man." ”

So after getting Stephen Curry's "approval", Lin Yi came to the restaurant that Yao Ming had booked in advance.

In Lin Yi's impression, Yao Ming has always been a very low-key basketball player, and even if he becomes the president of the Basketball Association in the future, there are not many news reports about him.

"It's a good game, Lin Yi, I really didn't expect you to be able to dribble and break through like a guard." Yao Ming said with praise to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was a little shy now, and while the two were waiting for the food, the topic of conversation was mainly around basketball.

Yao Ming warned Lin Yi that after entering the NBA, you must train hard and seize the opportunity, the United States is an extremely impatient country, including rookies, even if you are a high-pick rookie, as long as you are dull after a season or two, you will soon be forgotten by people.

Lin Yi very much agrees with this point of view, how many superstars in the NBA are, and behind them there are geniuses who have fallen by a hundredfold or a thousand.

"You don't like to spend money, do you? When you enter the NBA, you have to be careful with your finances, and we athletes eat this kind of youth rice. Yao Ming said.

Lin Yi nodded, I have to say that Chairman Yao is actually a very cute person in life, especially when it comes to the Houston Rockets and the Chinese men's basketball team, he can't stop at all.

"The UAE is just too honest, I have a chance to have a treat, and a few of us get together. Sun Yue is just too lazy, but that guy is a rich second generation, alas, time flies really fast, and I am almost thirty in the blink of an eye. Yao Ming's emotion is not without reason.

Thirty and standing is the most common saying in Chinese, but Yao Ming has always felt that he has not achieved an inch, and this year's Houston Rockets record is good, but Maddie is injured again, and Yao Ming has no idea how far he can go in the playoffs.

But Lin Yi knows very well that this will be the best playoff game for the Houston Rockets in the Yao Mai era, although Artest is not as good as Maddy on the offensive end, but the defensive end and key moments are tough enough.

Brooks couldn't defend well, but he did have his best year in the NBA.

But Adelman's tactics have one of the biggest problems, and that is Yao Ming's knees.

A big man with a weight of 226 cm and a weight of more than 140 kilograms is a hidden danger, and Yao Ming's playing time is about 35 minutes per game, the regular season is okay, if it comes to the confrontational playoffs......

"Brother Yao Ming, you still have to pay attention to your knees, I feel it now, the higher the height, the greater the pressure on us by weight." Lin Yi reminded at the end of this dinner.

Yao Ming nodded, didn't say anything, he told Lin Yi that if he had the opportunity, he would go to the Crazy March site to watch the Wildcats game.

……

The moment they won the Southern Conference championship and returned to Davidson Academy, all the Wildcats players were terrified.

Because all the students of Davidson College prepared a special celebration for them.

For Davidson College, it is rare for the basketball team to score March Madness in a row, and the top students certainly won't miss such a good opportunity to blatantly kick the party.

From the school gate to the basketball hall, students on both sides of the road came to watch the basketball team.

Lin Yi and Stephen Curry are the most popular stars.

But Anthony Beasley, McMillan and other Wildcats players also received the adoring gaze and cheers and applause.

"Lin Yi, I am the president of the Chinese Alumni Association of Davidson College in the United States, and I am very happy that you have won glory for us Chinese!" There are not many Chinese students studying at Davidson College, and almost all of them came to cheer Lin Yi on today.

Lin Yi thanked him for taking the wreath handed by the president's sister, and at this time, Stephen Curry didn't know where to get a bottle of champagne and shot directly at Lin Yi.

"Hell, Stephen! You wait! Lin Yi was naturally not to be outdone, and took the champagne handed by Anthony Beasley to fight back, and the entire Davidson College suddenly turned into a sea of joy.

This is the joy of victory.

The teachers and principals of Davidson College can only turn a blind eye to this group of top students, in fact, seriously, if it is not for the sake of face, they really want to join in.

……

Just as Lin Yi was celebrating with his teammates, the meeting between his agent Zhong Muchen and Thunder general manager Presti began.

"Mr. Zhong, you Chinese have a saying called straight to the point, I won't go around the corner, please help me tell Lin, the Thunder team is very much looking forward to and paying attention to his performance, we hope that he can refuse the tryout of other teams before the draft, and only accept the trial of the Thunder team." Presti said to Zhong Muchen with a sincere face.

"Oh? Mr. Presti, I would like to ask, is the season not over yet, and the Thunder have already made sure that they can get the No. 1 pick? "Zhong Muchen doesn't care how sincere you are, what he said is very clear, Lin Yi is now a top hit, if the Thunder team doesn't have enough chips, how can Lin Yi refuse the trial of another team?

Lin Yike didn't have a city he wanted to go to.

"Mr. Chung, you can see our results, we have been "rotten" all season, I don't really like the word "rotten", I prefer to call it the foundation of the dynasty. Presti touched her watch.

"We have a lot of hope to get the top pick." Presti is also reminding Zhong Muchen that the Thunder have a high chance of getting the top pick.

"That's not 100 percent, and even if the Thunder have the worst record in NBA league history, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that you will get the top pick." Zhong Muchen's words are reminding Presti that it's not a 100% thing, let's put it aside for now.

"Mr. Zhong is really a smart person, Lin is really right to choose you, he is very smart and calm, you Chinese have a saying called waiting for the price and selling, I think there is no suitable and satisfactory offer, absolutely can not impress Lin, right?" Presti looked at Zhong Muchen with tentative eyes, but unfortunately he couldn't see any change in Zhong Muchen's expression.

It's so good to be focused.

"Well, Mr. Chung, I might as well reveal our cards to you, and if we don't end up getting the No. 1 pick, we're willing to send all the players except Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook as chips, plus our first-round picks this year for an upward trade." Presti gave her final hole card.

"I'll tell my employer what you say, but he's the one who makes the final decision." Zhong Muchen replied calmly.

The meeting between Zhong Muchen and Presti was over, and as soon as it was over, Zhong Muchen hurriedly rubbed his thighs, "Fuck, it hurts me, Presti, this old boy is really shrewd, he keeps staring at me." ”

Zhong Muchen's method of calmness and indifferent expression is very simple, that is, he keeps pinching his thighs to keep calm.

I don't know how Lin Yi will make a decision after hearing the news, because Zhong Muchen feels that Lin Yi is sometimes like a prophet who can not be predicted......
