This Forward is Not Serious

​​

While fans are paying attention to the results of the first round of the All-Star vote, they are also paying attention to the Nets' winning streak.

After all, now that the Warriors' winning streak has ended, only the Nets are left.

This put a lot of psychological pressure on the Nets.

Lin Ying can also feel why the Warriors have tried their best to pursue 7 wins in history.

Because at this time, it is no longer "you want to do it", but you are "expected to do it", until "you can't do it if you don't do it".

銆毯鈉鋹鋴閲锎鍒雨囨崲锎鍾雕閹網雽長捗镹誋鏋What are you talking about?/

Just like Li Xingyun, the protagonist in a comic called "Painting the Bad People in Jianghu" that he had read before.

The Nets also lived up to expectations, winning 17, 18, and 19 in a row.

11th all-time winning streak and 8th all-time winning streak.

Just when fans thought that the Nets were going to break the 0-game winning streak, break the Warriors' 4-game winning streak, and even hit the longest winning streak in history, the Nets lost, and it was a bit unexpected.

They lost to the Clippers.

On the one hand, the Clippers played really well, on the other hand, and more importantly, the Nets played well.

In previous games, Lin Ying and Durant's performances were stable, or at least one of them was online.

But this night, the two of them rarely felt very ordinary.

The result is predictable.

"Lin, are you reluctant to attack me?"

During the handshake after the game, Deron teased his former eldest brother.

"A little bit."

Lin Ying also responded with a smile.

Although losing, the winning streak is fixed at 19 games is a bit obsessive-compulsive, but it may not be a bad thing for the Nets.

From his point of view, although the Warriors have won 7 wins in history, they suffered from a lot of injuries, and the physical consumption was also very large. In the end, they won a humiliating 7-win overall runner-up.

If the Nets have been so expected, it is hard to say that injuries will not patronize this team.

After all, even if they have two and a half super giants, even if they have a strong rotation, even if they can play so many people that Turner has to sit on the bench, there is still a possibility.

With a 1% probability, the Nets themselves are the ones who really suffer losses.

Recording this kind of thing doesn't necessarily have to be broken now.

The Nets are not strong enough to win games at will.

And it wasn't just Lin Ying. In the locker room after the loss, the Nets players were chatting and laughing, and they looked much more relaxed than before.

They also play under a lot of pressure.

Of course, not everyone.

After the press conference, Durant returned to the locker room with his cell phone in his hand, his fingers fast, and he typed angrily.

Lin Ying noticed this detail and reached out and patted her head.

Needless to say, Durant should have "interacted" with netizens on social media again.

Moreover, Durant was fully engaged, and he didn't even notice Lin Ying standing behind him.

Then, Lin Ying saw what Durant was "interacting" with netizens.

Netizen A: "The Nets really can't do it. Even the Clippers can lose. Sure enough, there is still a gap between them and the Warriors!"

"Reset Lin Yinghao Fan": "So the Warriors lost to the Nets?"

Netizen B: "Durant is just a thigh-hugger. If Lin feels bad, he can't do anything. He's far worse than LeBron!"

"The classic version of Lin Ying No. 18 fans": "LeBron is so powerful, he was beaten by Lin and ran everywhere."

Netizen C: "Durant is destined to be lower than LeBron when he joins the Nets. No matter how many championships he wins, it doesn't make sense."

"Nostalgic version of Lin Ying No. 1 fan": "Yes, LeBron is amazing. He has successfully won a championship for so many times, and surpassed Jordan once."

……

Lin Ying looked at it blankly.

The speed of cutting numbers is not as fast as I have been single for 20 years.

And Durant's memory is also amazing. It's not easy to remember the account number, not to mention the password.

In this regard, Lin Ying had to resign.

However, he didn't interrupt Durant, instead he changed his clothes and prepared to go back to rest.

Everyone has something they like, and "interaction" is already an important part of Durant's life.

But just when Lin Ying changed her clothes and was about to leave first.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound in the dressing room.

Durant dropped his phone...

The teammates looked at each other, obviously not expecting such a thing to happen.

Lin Ying was also stunned for a moment.

It stands to reason that Durant has been in battle for a long time, and it is indeed a bit unexpected that he can be so angry that he throws his phone.

"Kevin?"

Lin Ying walked over.

"I'm fine."

Durant's chest was still heaving when he said this.

"Come on, let's go out for a walk."

Lin Ying said.

After speaking, he pulled Durant out of the locker room and gave Joseph a wink before leaving.

Joseph understood in seconds, lowered his head and packed up the wreckage of the phone, then put it back in Durant's closet.

"What's up?"

After leaving the dressing room, Lin Ying asked.

In the locker room before, some things were difficult to ask.

However, Durant did not answer directly, but said an incredible assumption.

"Ying, do you think it's possible for Nikola to get more votes than LeBron and become the starter of this year's All-Star Game?"

Lin Ying was surprised when he heard this, because Durant's assumption was a bit unrealistic.

James' first round of votes were not too many, but he wasn't much worse than Durant. He was a "little emperor" after all, and his popularity was definitely not low.

Although Jokic's popularity has risen rapidly, he is still at least one level behind James.

So Lin Ying shook his head practically.

"What if we all help him produce good stats in the next games?"

Durant continued.

"That's unrealistic, Kevin."

Lin Ying replied.

Even if they help Jokic hit a triple-double every game, the possibility of James being squeezed out of the starting lineup is basically zero.

"What if we added that we kept canvassing for him? Especially you, the situation of that guy Zaza Pachulia is very telling."

Durant still didn't give up.

Lin Ying looked at Durant with a puzzled face.

What happened to make Durant so persistent in making Jokic an All-Star starter?

Could it be that... Jokic introduced Durant to a beautiful Serbian girl?

This is the only thing that will make Durant work so hard.

But soon, Lin Ying rejected the idea.

At first glance, Jokic doesn't have the potential to be a matchmaker.

As for her sister, Jokic only has a brother.

Or another way of thinking, because of James?

Durant didn't want Jokic to start, but didn't want James to start?

In front of him watching Durant in the process of "interaction", many objects are James fans at first glance.

Combined with the result of dropping the phone just now, this can be explained at once.

"Let's try?"

Durant asked again.

Lin Ying nodded.

Although he still doesn't think Jokic has the possibility of squeezing out James, Durant is so interested that it would be inappropriate for him to refuse.

"We can also ask Nikolai to call for a vote in his own country, using Pachulia as an example."

he continued.

Since you have really made up your mind to do it, you must take all favorable factors into consideration.

If it does happen, then things become very interesting.

"As expected of you, Ying!"

Durant smiled and put his hand on Lin Ying's shoulder.

Lin Ying smiled, but didn't ask Durant whether what he did was the same as what he thought.

Some things don't make sense after all.

Durant didn't take the initiative to say it, because "Scarlett doesn't want you but chooses to marry someone else because you can't". Even if the fans hate him, how can he say it!

……

"No!"

When Jokic heard that Lin Ying and Durant said they wanted to help him produce All-Star-level stats, Jokic's first reaction was resistance.

Now he feels that he is losing weight every night. If he plays a little more, he feels that Coke can't save him.

"Nikola, how cool is the All-Star starter, and others know that my fans are the All-Star starter, and I have a good reputation."

Lin Ying used his trump card.

Sure enough, Jokic's feeling of resistance disappeared at once when he heard this.

He finally nodded, but silently decided to change the Coke from 600ml to 1.5L.

After all, Lin Ying said before that he should drink a bottle of Coke after the game, but he didn't mention the size of the bottle!

Now that he has to work harder, his happiness must be doubled!

……

After losing to the Clippers, the Nets continued their road trip, flying to Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers.

With the departure of Aldridge, the strength of the Blazers has fallen seriously, especially the strength of the interior has dropped by at least one grade.

This game has also become a Jokic show.

After the first half, Jokic contributed the highest score in the team.

However, the Nets did not open up too many points. The Blazers' CJ McCroom grew up, and the Blazers' "Double Guns" performed well in the first half.

In the critical third quarter, Lin Ying and Durant first opened the "Brooklyn Time" to widen the difference to double digits, and then made the ball for Jokic.

The two sides fell into a stalemate again, and then as Jokic's data continued to climb, the point difference has been fluctuating back and forth around double digits.

There was no garbage time in this game. At the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, with the stable performance of the Gemini at the critical moment, the Nets successfully accepted the game.

According to the statistics after the game, Lin Ying and Durant scored 6 points respectively. The number of shots between the two tonight was not many, maybe even a little bit.

The most dazzling player on the court tonight belonged to Jokic. He scored alone in the first half, scored 16 points in the second half, and scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 6 assists in the whole game.

This one is only a little short, it is a 40+ triple-double!

At the press conference after the game, Lin Ying and Durant were full of praise for Jokic.

"Nikola has always been underestimated. He is an All-Star-level center. If it wasn't for me and Lin on the team, he would be able to put up such numbers every night."

Durant sold both him and Lin Ying in order to praise Jokic.

"Nikola is an epoch-making center. No center has ever had such good space ability, low-post scoring ability and passing ability at the same time. I think he has the opportunity to enter the MVP discussion."

Lin Ying was even more exaggerated.

Although from his own point of view, this can only be regarded as a statement of facts after opening his eyes.

Then the news reports and social media after the game became the focus of fans' heated discussions because of Jokic's outstanding performance and their praise.

"If there's a center, with Tyson Chandler on the team, who starts in the playoffs as a rookie, and then manages to get the team to give up Chandler the following year, that in itself That explains the problem!"

"I saw the game between the Warriors and the Nets before. Jokic made the Warriors' five small powers plummet, and they could only rely on Curry's touch to eat. Jokic's effect on the Nets has always been underestimated!"

"It's scary to know that this is just a second-year player! We're witnessing the rise of a superstar!"

"It's really unreasonable. The Nets relied on their own cultivation and forcibly turned the Gemini into the Big Three!"

"Go and vote for Jokic All-Star! He deserves more votes!" A comment from "Nostalgic Lin Yinghao Fans".

"I've already voted, we can't let the Eastern Conference start without even a center!" A comment from "Nostalgic Lin Yinghao Fans".

"Already voted +1!" A comment from "Nostalgic Lin Ying No. 4 Fans".

……

"Already voted +10086" from the comment of "Nostalgic Lin Ying Fan No. 10089".

……

Time flies, a week later.

Under the careful feeding of Lin Ying and Durant, Jokic has averaged 0.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game in four games in the past week. The data can really be brushed.

Of course, the premise is that you and your team have that strength.

On the Thunder's side, Westbrook is because the team is not strong enough, which makes his data content seem more obvious.

But on the Nets side, their strength is already strong enough, so no one thinks that there is any problem with the data, but more that Jokic is strong.

Of course, no one will pay attention to the fact that Jokic's shooting percentage has dropped by 5 percentage points, and there are 1.5 more turnovers than before.

However, the increase in these negative data is not much, indicating that Jokic's strength is not low.

It was at this time that the league announced the results of the second round of the All-Star voting.

The results show that Jokic...still has a certain gap from James.

However, his total votes have surpassed Anthony and George, and he has come to the fourth place in the Eastern Conference forwards!

Lin Ying's judgment was correct, but this rally also exceeded his expectations.

One thing that Lin Ying overlooked is that the Nets are now the most watched team in New York, and the stage is too big.

It's like Irving was just an ordinary All-Star who played beautifully in Cleveland before, but after James left, the Cavaliers' attention skyrocketed, and Irving has become an All-Star regular.

The stage is still very important.

Although this is not enough.

It was at this time that Lin Ying and Durant started the second phase of the plan and began to canvass for their little fat man in their own way. (To be continued) chaptererror();
