This Forward is Not Serious Chapter 403

Shane with Mike Scott, and in the second round in 2015, that's what the Nets got for JR Smith.

There is also the addition of a third-party Cavaliers team.

In order to acquire Scott, the Cavaliers traded the Magic in the second round to the Nets in 2014.

In addition to getting Battier, the Heat also got Tony Douglas and the Nets in the second round in 2015.

The Heat did not want to give Smith a bigger contract in the end, and both Battier and Douglas could make up for the team's losses to a certain extent.

Battier, in particular, still has the strength to fight, and his contract is still expired.

As for the Nets, Walkendian didn't expect Scott to sell for this price.

After all, the Magic are rebuilding now, and next year's second-round pick is as valuable as a late first-round pick.

However, the Cavaliers can understand this transaction. Kidd is running for the team's offensive space.

Don't look at Scott's lack of opportunities in the Nets, but interior players with the ability to space are a scarce commodity in the league right now.

Why collect one less when you can collect one more?

Besides, a late first-rounder doesn't do much for the current Cavaliers.

"Snapped!"

After a phone call with his agent, Ross, Anthony was so angry that he shattered the... Apple 5 in his hand.

Technology is advancing, and so is the phone Anthony dropped.

From the apple 1 that Lin Ying gave him to 2/3/4 after that, all the way to the current 5, more than 6 years have passed in a blink of an eye.

The reason why he was angry was that the management did not give him face in the end.

This stingy management, adding one or two million will die?

Of course, what made him even more angry was that Smith, his sidekick, finally abandoned him to follow Lin Ying!

Turning around and looking around, Martin, Billups, Smith... these brothers who were in the Nuggets at the beginning, all left him one after another.

This gave him a sense of desolation of "the end of the road, alone".

He opened the drawer, took out a new cell phone, picked up the calling card on the ground and inserted it again.

"Thai, come to my manor and drink."

Fortunately, there is Lawson.

It is rare to have a drinking friend in life, and a drunken dream can solve thousands of sorrows!

JR Smith is really coming!

After the day's training, Lin Ying received a call from Vulcan Deen with sweat.

Denver 91 reunion in Brooklyn?

This sounds quite interesting. If it is a fan who is watching the game late, it may still be a period of youth.

At that time, Lin Ying was a good player on fast break passes, and JR was also a frequent player of the top five **** who got the Jordan experience card from time to time.

Even in the positional battle, the two of them could make frequent calls.

In Karl's system, JR will indeed play very comfortably.

It is the intermittent short circuit of JR that is sometimes estimated to be maddening.

However, with a contract of more than 5 million, to sign a player who may have 40+ or 10 three-pointers, you have to tolerate some of his shortcomings.

And if you think about it, JR untied Stephenson's shoelaces at the free throw line in the playoffs, the scene must be particularly interesting.

Or, the object is not Stephenson, but... James?

Lin Ying flipped through her phone and found that she still had JR's phone number, so she called.

"Who are you?"

But the moment I picked up the phone, I was a little nervous.

Well, it's unlikely to keep Lin Ying's cell phone number with Anthony.

"JR, tell me when you get to Brooklyn, and I'll have someone find you a place to live."

Lin Ying didn't answer, but he did.

Smith could also hear Lin Ying's voice over there. Lin Ying's oriental accent was too recognizable to him.

After hanging up the phone, Smith froze for a while, then slapped himself.

Anthony said to help him talk to the management and there was no news, but Lin Ying contacted him immediately.

What are people most afraid of? Compared!

Thinking that when he was in Denver, he didn't hesitate to catch up with the girlfriend he had just made to play tricks on Lin Ying.

It shouldn't be!

Thinking of this, many good times when he was fed by Lin Ying in Denver also appeared in his mind.

Maybe what Ross gave him this time was really a proposal that could change his fate!

In a twinkling of an eye, the 2013 free agency hit the curtain has come to an end.

Most of the big fish in the free market went where they wanted to go. Jennings and Millsap got the contracts they wanted.

Only Bynum's situation is not very good.

He, who was the third center in the league a year ago, ended up with the Rockets on a two-year, $24.5 million contract.

Also, the second-year contract is only partially guaranteed.

It's not that he wants to go there, knowing that the Rockets are seriously rebuilding right now.

Rather, there is no better contract than that!

Other teams are not even willing to offer him an annual salary of tens of millions!

The first player in NBA history to bowl and lose his big contract is also the only one.

It's understandable that the Rockets are willing to sign him.

Because Noel will miss the rookie season, they need a transition in the interior, and they also need to fill the poor line.

No one is more appropriate in this situation than Bynum.

And Noel is swinging inside. If Bynum really finds the feeling he had in Los Angeles in the Rockets, the Rockets will make a lot of money.

After all, Thomas Robinson, who was drafted last year, doesn't look very good now.

Noel + Bynum, if both are healthy, this combination looks very good.

On the Nets side, in addition to outside reinforcements, inside reinforcements are also underway.

Chris Anderson was going to leave the team, but after Karl arrived, he extended his salary with the Nets for another year.

At the same time, the Nets also signed veteran Shaquille O'Neal with a minimum salary, and signed Covington, who performed well in the summer league, with a three-year non-guaranteed contract.

In this way, the team's roster for the new season is roughly released:

Point guards: Deron, Livingston, Billups

Shooting backs: Butler, JR Smith, Barbosa

Small Front: Joe Johnson, Kirilenko, Covington

Front: Lin Ying, Yi Jianlian, Claude

Centers: Chandler, O'Neal Jr., Chris Anderson

Except for Covington, who also needs to compete with people in the next preseason, other personnel have basically been determined.

This lineup has not become weaker than last season, and even from Karl's tactical system, the strength is stronger.

From the uncertain future of the team when Sloan retired to a month to determine the coaching staff and lineup, Walkendian fully demonstrated his ability.

Next, look at the performance of the Nets team!

The day before free agency ended, JR was in Brooklyn.

Lin Ying had already asked Su Feng to make arrangements for him, so he was taken to the training camp by Lin Ying the next day to be a strong man.

"Lin, I bet you, this guy won't be here for a day."

Upon seeing Smith's first glance, Durant made a bet with Lin Ying, betting a thousand dollars.

JR has never been a hard-working player.

Durant is generally not very cold to such players, and even a little disgusted.

Sure enough, within half a day, JR vomited.

You can see how wasteful he was with Anthony for the past two years in Miami.

"I don't think you should let the management find him, he can't help you."

Durant didn't care that JR was still on the scene, and said directly.

It's not disrespectful either.

If you want others to respect you, you must at least be respected.

Moreover, Durant is the kind of straight-hearted person.

JR glared at Durant, wiped his mouth, and left.

"Kevin, he's my teammate."

Lin Ying said.

Durant shrugged.

The group continued to train.

Until the end of the day's training, JR did not come back.

Lin Ying called Su Feng and asked him to pay more attention to Smith, and then continued to concentrate on training.

With just two months to go before the season begins, he hopes to hold the keys to the white-hot space before that begins.

About 20 kilometers west of Madison Square Garden is a large cemetery.

At this time, in front of a tombstone named "Andre Bell", JR Smith stood in front of the tombstone with two bottles of wine and a bunch of flowers.

Americans think that it is a beautiful thing to go to heaven after death, so the cemetery is generally not too far from the city.

From the position where Smith is standing, looking into the distance is Manhattan with many high-rise buildings.jpg.

Heaven and earth coexist in this way.

Smith placed the flowers in front of the tombstone, then sat cross-legged in front of the tombstone, both bottles of wine open.

One bottle was opened and placed in front of the tombstone, and one bottle was opened and drank by himself.

"Andre, I've come to New York. I can see you often in the future."

After taking a sip of wine, Smith looked at the tombstone and made a toast.

"Brooklyn is really good, much better than Freehold.

I remember when we were kids we said we were going to New York together, and now we're all here.

I should have been here earlier, I had the chance last year. "

Smith said while drinking.

When it comes to emotion, he will stare blankly at the tombstone for a while.

After a while, the bottle had been drunk by him.

But before he finished speaking, he picked up another bottle.

"I'll drink this bottle for you, and I'll bring you another bottle next time."

Picking up the second bottle and taking a sip, he couldn't help but look at the tombstone and sigh:

"You said it would be nice if you were alive now, we could drink together every day.

No, we can not only drink together, we can also go to nightclubs together, and the nightclubs here are very exciting. "

Speaking of this, Smith couldn't help laughing.

After a while, the second bottle had been drank more than half.

He was slightly drunk.

"Andre, no one in this world looks down on me."

It was at this time that the expression he looked at the tombstone became a little sad again.

"Mello just likes having someone do things for him, I've always known that.

He likes the feeling of being surrounded by people, both on and off the court.

Is he my brother? He is, but he's not my real brother.

When Lin said to help me find a place to live, I thought he and Mello were different, but they were actually the same.

No one considers me a real friend except you and Marshall. "

After he finished speaking, he directly poured the rest of the wine into his stomach in one breath, and then burped for a long time.

He looked at the tombstone for a long time.

"You mean that's what Kevin Durant said and not what Lin said? They're good friends, just like us, and he must be thinking the same thing."

"You want me to take another look? Well, maybe you're right and I should go back."

Smith was just talking to himself.

It's a good thing that it's still daytime, otherwise Smith would laugh and cry at the same time, and others would think he was possessed by something when they saw it.

"I should go back, I've come to New York, I don't want you to see me in a mess, I should go back."

Smith finally got up talking to himself, stared at the tombstone for a moment, then turned to leave.

"Ok?"

The next day of practice, Durant was surprised to see Smith in the arena again.

People came in and out of this training camp, but the only ones who didn't go and come back.

After all, those who want to persevere will persevere, and those who can't persevere know that they can't adapt, and naturally they won't come back.

Smith was still a little surprised.

"Kevin, I think you should give me $1,000."

Lin Ying was also a little surprised when he saw Smith, but in addition to the accident, he was also happy.

"Then he has to hold on for half a day today."

Durant said after coming back to his senses.

They bet yesterday on a day.

Lin Ying smiled and nodded.

I don't know why, he was not optimistic about Smith yesterday, and the bet with Durant was purely a gamble.

But seeing Smith today, he is very confident.

After practice began, Smith was targeted by Durant.

Durant didn't do it for the $1,000, but to prove what he said was right.

Especially when it comes to confrontation in the audience, Durant has been calling Smith's name.

Smith's defensive ability in a hurry, in front of Durant, is like a club woman's panties, ineffective.

The two almost clashed.

Before the fight was over for a long time, Smith dumped Durant and walked away...

"How is it? Or am I right?"

Durant looked at Lin Ying and said.

"Kevin, if I win the bet, I'll be angry if you target him again."

Lin Ying felt that Durant had gone a bit too far.

"Okay, if he comes back tomorrow, I'm willing to admit defeat and promise not to trouble him again."

Durant looked at the door of the arena and said.

He bet that Smith would not come tomorrow.

Another day after training, Smith...really didn't show up.

Lin Ying was a little disappointed, but he was willing to accept the loss and pay Durant the money.

In fact, his expectations were too high. What kind of person Smith is, he should be very clear when he was a teammate in Denver for two years.

When he came to the training hall yesterday, it was beyond his expectations.

But how could this kind of accident happen continuously?

At the end of the day's training, Lin Ying finally stayed to practice a few shots.

But before he could finish the pitch, the gate of the arena was pushed open.

Across the distance, Lin Ying felt the smell of alcohol.

Again, it turned out to be Smith.

"Where's Kevin Durant? I'm going head to head with him!"

Smith aggressively... hiccupped.

Lin Ying was angry and funny when he saw this.

Wine is so cowardly that Smith has the courage to challenge Durant.

However, he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.

Smith is not that good, but,

It doesn't seem that bad.
