This Forward is Not Serious Chapter 421

Granger's move to the Nets has sparked a buzz on social media.

"Bird is so righteous and personally sent an All-Star player to a competitor."

"I still feel at a loss for the Nets to send Kirilenko away. I didn't expect it to make room for Granger. Walkendian is amazing!"

"Although Granger hasn't played well in the past two years due to injuries, the camel who was thin and dead was bigger than the horse, which is definitely a reinforcement."

"Granger's skills are very comprehensive, and his ability without the ball is even better. When he arrives at the Nets, he doesn't have that much pressure, and he is perfect as a pitcher with peace of mind."

"By the way, why didn't Granger go to the Knicks? If you want to win the championship, obviously the Knicks have the best chance this season!"

Lin Ying was stunned when he saw the signing.

He basically does not actively interfere with the operation of management, even if he has a good relationship with Vulcan Dean.

Because once this thing is opened, it is in New York again, and its reputation will not go away.

In this regard, James also did a good job.

Therefore, Lin Ying really did not expect the Nets to sign Granger!

Accident? Shock? surprise?

These emotions should be there.

While Granger struggled with the Pacers, just like Joe Johnson, he's been a favorite when his contract changes.

Granger with an annual salary of 14 million has become a basic salary Granger, isn't it delicious!

And he recalled a little, this year in history, Granger also bought out with the 76ers, and then went to the Clippers to chase the championship dream.

The Clippers had the big three of Paul, Griffin and Jordan, with a lot of championship hopes and a weak small forward position.

But now, it's clear that the Nets have a better chance.

Granger quickly passed his medical and then reported to the Nets.

For Granger's joining, the Nets team members still reported a lot of goodwill.

After all, he is also the boss of a former team, and also a former opponent.

When Lin Ying first came to the east, Granger hadn't been injured yet.

"Forest."

Granger also looked excited when he saw Lin Ying, and took the initiative to hug Lin Ying.

On the first day after Granger arrived on the team, although he was not fully injured, he participated in all the team's training.

And the point is, the stance is kept low.

Karl and the coaching staff have also been watching him.

After watching the training, they were relieved.

The transaction was done by Vulcan Dean, and sometimes he would ask other people's opinions just like Lin Ying.

But more often, he operates according to his own ideas.

To know that he is not the general manager of the team, but the team president.

So Carl and the others didn't know it before, but the mood after knowing it was similar to Lin Ying's.

To say the difference is more worry.

Granger is, after all, a star, and only 30 years old.

If it wasn't for injuries, at the peak of the season, whether they could adjust their mentality from star to role player would be their concern.

If the adjustment is not good, it is better not to.

Because many people will want to start, want to play time, and even make trouble.

But for now, Granger is acting professionally.

The Nets' infirmary after practice.

Deron, Livingston, and now a Granger.

The Nets' team doctor is a little busy.

When Lin Ying went, Granger and Deron had a good chat.

Deron came to the east earlier than Lin Ying, and he and Granger knew each other earlier.

They were talking about injuries.

Both of them have knee injuries and ankle injuries, so they are patients.

And after listening for a while, they were not only talking about injuries, but also about being traded.

Granger definitely didn't want to leave the Pacers, he was with the Pacers for ten years, and it was the darkest decade.

Before the Pacers, there was the Miller era, and then there was the Jagged Legion built by Carlisle. When he arrived, it was the darkest era after the Palace of Auburn Hills.

He has been carrying the Pacers for the past ten years, and now the team is finally seeing the glory of recovery, but he was traded.

It sounds a lot worse than Deron. Deron made a mistake anyway, but he didn't do anything.

And with Granger's character, if the Pacers don't trade him, he will definitely be willing to renew his contract at a low price and stay in Indiana.

"Don't you hate them?"

Delong started to get angry after talking about it.

Because Granger accepted the role of the bench, but was still mercilessly traded.

This is almost identical to the nature of the Ainge trade for Pierce in history.

"Hate? Why hate? If I were the management, I would also trade. We are on the rise and need better immediate combat power."

Granger was a little melancholy when he said this, but he felt that there was no resentment.

"You have such a good temper."

Delong sighed with emotion.

Lin Ying nodded as well.

Although he was listening more, he could really sense that Granger was a good-natured person.

Looking back, Granger does seem to have no bad news in history. He is one of the few people in the NBA who can be called a "good guy".

While chatting, Granger's cell phone rang.

Because the team doctor was still treating him, he hung up and texted back.

But before he sent the text message, the phone rang again.

"Paul called."

Granger said something, then picked it up.

"I'm fine", "You don't have to worry about it", "Lin is very nice"...

After chatting for a while, Granger hung up.

"He cares about my situation in Brooklyn,"

Granger said with a smile after putting down the phone.

"Are you on good terms with Paul George?"

Lin Ying asked.

He remembered watching the news in his last life, and many media said that Granger was forced away by George, and that the Pacers traded Granger to straighten George.

"we are brothers."

Granger responded in the shortest and most effective way possible.

The word brother is a word that black people often talk about, but it doesn't seem like it comes out of Granger's mouth.

It's like, one day Curry says who is his brother, you will think they must have a good relationship.

Granger said that George, it should be similar.

"The management asked me what I meant when I was drafted that year. I suggested that he should be selected. He had some conflicts with the management because of my being traded. We are like brothers in private."

Granger added.

After Lin Ying heard it, she seemed to have discovered a secret.

In the history, George ended up with the Pacers in a deadlock, and became the first player in NBA history to be designated as the next player during the contract period, and the impact was bad.

But it seems, it seems to be right here.

If Granger is George's big brother, then Granger's transaction will definitely leave a big shadow on George.

For a player, the saddest thing is that you gave everything for the city, but in the end you were traded mercilessly.

Then, those people also tell you that "business is just business" to learn to understand and mature.

George has also suffered serious injuries in history. He will definitely think of what happened to Granger. His bad behavior is actually the first to do the best.

So everything that seems outrageous has a reason.

"Everything's going to be fine and you'll have a lot of friends in Brooklyn."

Lin Ying said.

He didn't use the word brother, because he knew that Granger compared George to a brother, and it was inappropriate to say that after a few face-to-face encounters.

Also, he's not black.

"Yes, I am very happy to come to Brooklyn, I know I just changed the city, I am still fighting for the championship."

Granger's mentality is really good.

"Then you have to worry that we might meet Indiana in the playoffs."

Lin Ying said with a smile.

"That must be fun."

Granger also smiled back.

His smile came from the heart, as he said, he didn't hate the Pacers.

"And the Knicks, LeBron, we will definitely meet them in the playoffs."

DeLong added.

It was at this moment that Lin Ying noticed that Granger's expression finally changed.

"Danny, do you hate LeBron?"

At this moment, Lin Ying asked.

Granger was silent.

"Because of his step on you."

Seeing his reaction, Lin Ying added.

"No."

Granger shook his head after a while.

"I hate him because of his previous decision one, because they won the title in the first year, and put a lot of teams like us out of hope."

Granger's statement is true, and one that many people may not have noticed.

Granger and his Pacers have been supporting roles due to lack of talent, but like the Suns have been able to win championships before, they at least have hope.

But James decided that one, the league started the era of superteams, which really destroyed their hopes.

"But I don't hate him for that, he got a lot of bad fouls and we can't look at things with a double standard."

Granger said finally with certainty.

Lin Ying was a little surprised, and looked at Granger in a different way.

Granger's injury was almost done, and he left first.

"Danny is such a generous man, a good man."

Delong pondered for a while, but still couldn't help feeling emotional.

The previous ones are actually quite normal, but in the end, the answer to James' footsteps, most people can't tell.

Lin Ying nodded and said nothing.

Granger was indeed a good man, but he was skeptical of what Granger said in the end.

Someone gave you a waste, but you don't think so?

This is not a good man, but a saint.

There are quite a few Notre Dames in this world, but there are really not many saints.

Actions speak louder than words, and Granger is coming to the Nets instead of the Knicks, which explains something.

The Nets weren't in a rush to get Granger on the court.

As can be seen from Deron, they are now very cautious about injuries.

Of course, the more critical issue is that they are not short of people now.

Granger is a swing play of the three or four positions, but in these two positions, the team has Claude and Yi Jianlian.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

The Nets are still in second place in the Eastern Conference.

Because the Knicks have also been consistent, they have no chance of closing the win gap.

However, they and the Pacers and Cavaliers behind them have gradually opened the gap.

The Nets flew to Indiana on this day to prepare for the final game of the season with the Pacers.

On the plane, Cole found Granger, conveyed the meaning of the coaching staff, and made Granger ready to play.

Granger has been recovering from injuries with the Pacers this month, and it's much better than the Pacers' stop-and-go.

And the coaching staff chose such a game to arrange for him to come back with consideration.

They still hope Granger can play well and get a rotation spot.

After all, compared with Claude, Granger's game experience is much richer.

This may not be visible in the regular season, but it will become important in the playoffs.

Scheduling him back when he's playing against the Pacers will help him play well.

Granger also looked a little excited.

Although you were very generous when you communicated with Lin Ying and the others before, it was like seeing your ex-girlfriend again after being dumped. Why would you not want her to know that you are doing well?

Of course, there must be pressure on Granger.

After all, the situation that broke out when encountering the former club is generally only found in novels.

Arriving for pregame practice in Indiana, Granger greeted the arena staff familiarly.

Playing here for ten years is equivalent to dedicating an entire career to most players.

Not to mention that he used to be the team leader here.

After the training started, Granger was very excited.

His defense is full of energy, and his off-ball movement is aggressive on offense.

If it weren't for knowing that he was injured, it would give people the illusion that he was still the same Danny Granger.

However, several consecutive misses of the ball made people break away from that illusion.

A month off is good for recuperating, but not necessarily good for the player's state.

After the training, Delong accompanied Delong to the infirmary.

But this time he didn't see Granger.

Maybe it's because I feel that my injury is healed and I won't come, or I may be unhappy with my state tonight and go back to rest first.

Lin Ying also took a break with Delong, and he had to practice more later.

Now he's got the key to white-hot space, but that doesn't mean you've always had it.

He needs training intensity to maintain it.

Otherwise Jordan wouldn't have struggled so much in his second comeback with the Wizards.

After he accompanied Deron to the locker room, he took a shower and changed into a training suit, and then went to the training hall.

When he arrived at the training hall, he found that there were two people inside.

George and Granger.

Granger in shooting practice~www.mtlnovel.com~George is picking up the ball for him.

The Pacers' current boss is attacking the former boss?

This scene looks interesting.

Lin Ying noticed that Granger's training suit was soaked through.

It seems that after training is over, he should practice here.

George probably came later.

However, Granger's movement is not slow at all, and his hand seems to be much better than when he was training.

This is using high-intensity training to forcibly awaken the muscle memory.

At this time, Lin Ying suddenly remembered the previous Manhattan media report on the New York Derby and the description of the Knicks.

The Avengers.

That turned out to be a joke in the end.

But compared to them, Granger looked more like an Avenger.
