"AJ is coming?!"

On the plane back to Denver, Lin Ying showed surprise for the first time.

He has thought about being teammates with Durant in the NBA, but Abrams really hasn't thought about it!

And speaking of it, when Abrams was drafted, he joked with Durant that he was going to help Durant inquire about military intelligence.

I didn’t expect that in the end, it would be to help him?

And speaking of the University of Texas, besides Durant, this very good-tempered senior has the best relationship with him.

This really surprised him!

And the Nuggets’ opponent in the next game is the SuperSonics!

The NBA is so fun!

…

It's Christmas in three days.

Every Christmas the NBA arranges some highly popular games.

And in order to focus, even only a small number of games are arranged.

For example, last year, only one game was scheduled between the Heat and the Lakers.

This year, the number of competitions has increased, with a total of three competitions scheduled.

In other words, these three scenes still have stories.

Originally, the league's offseason schedule was the Cavaliers vs. Heat, and the Lakers vs. Suns.

But another one was added not long ago.

Who was added?

Nuggets VS SuperSonics!

Lin Ying's performance exceeded expectations and even threatened Durant's Rookie of the Year award.

The competition between these two twin stars from the NCAA championship teams is fierce.

Coupled with the Nuggets' recent excellent form and gorgeous play, as well as Lin Ying's high popularity in China.

After confirming the look, this is a game that Stern will definitely grasp.

Some people say it’s not right!

Aren’t NBA game schedules set in the offseason? How can they still make temporary arrangements while playing games? Wouldn’t that be a total mess?

This is the genius of Stern.

Every year he arranges some games around Christmas that are likely to become hot events.

This way, when the time comes, he can flexibly adjust and add necessary games to the Christmas war.

For most teams, the impact of playing the game one day earlier or one day later is not that big.

The fans will not have any objections. Christmas is already on holiday, and it is too late to be happy after having a Christmas war in vain.

The day before Christmas, Lin Ying met Abrams in Denver who had just passed his physical examination.

When we met, we gave each other a high-five, followed by a big hug, and the scene was a bit passionate.

Winning the NCAA championship together, and then becoming teammates in the NBA, and they were still in their rookie season, this is magical to say the least.

And speaking of this year in history, the Nuggets did indeed make a deal with the Trail Blazers at this time!

It's just that the Trail Blazers produced Taurin Green.

Yes, that point guard from the University of Florida.

Then, due to the butterfly effect of Lin Ying's time travel, Abrams' outstanding performance in the finals allowed him to squeeze out Green and go to the Trail Blazers.

Then, he came to the Nuggets instead of Green!

Speaking of which, Green was just a passerby in the NBA in history, the kind who disappeared after playing for one year. It's no wonder Lin Ying doesn't remember him.

But it was precisely not remembering that led to the surprise now!

The two met and chatted, and Lin Ying also learned another thing. In addition to playing basketball, Abrams was also preparing for a master's degree in economics.

Good guy, this is the flowering of both culture and style!

And it reminded him of a piece of news he had seen before.

That year, the Suns finally reached the Finals, and then Cameron Johnson, who was playing in the Finals, was writing his master's thesis while playing in the Finals, which caused a lot of discussion.

But this is actually normal. For Abrams, he may not be successful in playing basketball. If he really can't play, he may switch to economics, or even become an agent in the future.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if it happened. After all, NBA players also have many financial disputes.

As for Duncan, in history, his agent defrauded him of more than 25 million US dollars.

…

The Christmas Day game was on Christmas Day, so the Nuggets players had to spend Christmas Eve in Seattle.

This also made many team members sad.

After all, Christmas is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China. It would be a pity if I couldn't be with my family during the Spring Festival.

Of course, this does not include Lin Ying.

Oh, and Abrams.

After Durant heard that Abrams had also been traded to the Nuggets, he called and asked Abrams to come with him.

And although the house is also rented here, because there is a big family to live in, Durant is also rich and the place where he lives is quite large.

This year is also really lively.

Sure enough, just like the Chinese New Year, it requires a large number of people to have the New Year’s flavor.

After finishing the meal, several people sat at the dinner table and chatted.

It was at this time that Wanda gave gifts to the children.

She prepared a bag of knitted hats in various colors.

And she knitted all these knitted hats herself!

This gift is a bit heavy.

There are several colors, red, green, orange and blue.

Durant, Lin Ying, Tony Durant, Beasley.

One hat for each of the four people.

Because Abrams arrived at last minute, he had no part in it.

Wanda asked Lin Ying to choose first.

Lin Ying originally wanted to say that he could just pick the rest, but before he could speak, Wanda gave him a warm look.

He suddenly remembered what Iverson once said.

Think about what it feels like to have a mother, it’s so good!

He finally chose the blue one.

Beasley then chose orange.

Durant took all the remaining blue and green ones.

The elder brother protested, but Durant quickly responded.

"You don't know how to wear it, so you might as well give it to me."

As expected of Durant, even his brother would complain if he got ruthless.

I guess Tony Durant is a person who pays more attention to his image. He would be embarrassed to wear a hat knitted by his mother.

But Lin Ying remembered something at this time.

Historically, Durant seems to really like wearing knitted hats.

At that time, fans speculated that it was because he was trying to cover up the bald back of his head.

But it seems like it’s not just that?

After dinner, Durant took Lin Ying and Abrams to the room and took out the gifts for them.

Abrams is a box of AJ’s shoes! Probably a dozen pairs!

This immediately surprised Abrams.

"AJ, I never had a chance to say thank you."

What Durant was probably talking about was when Barnes scolded him and Abrams came to comfort him.

People have different personalities, but they have many things in common.
