After the award ceremony, Lin Ying sat on the stool at the door holding the FMVP trophy and replied to the text message.

It's the biggest regret that Brooke couldn't be here tonight.

But what he wanted to answer at this time was more than just Brooke's text messages.

Too many people texted him.

Duncan: Congratulations, little guy, I said it's yours now.

Kobe Bryant: So what’s the plan for summer training?

Yao Ming: You have done a great thing, I am proud of you!

Durant: The championship next season is mine! Let me touch your trophy when.

Yang Shuyu: Oh my god, you really did it! Do you want me to cook you a big table of dishes to celebrate?

Zhu Fangyu: When will you return to China? Prepare to win the world championship!

Rick Barnes: Now I'm proud to have coached you, and you and Kevin will always be my pride!

Abrams: Lin, you are incredible. I watched all the games and you are the real mvp!

Uncle: I was right about you! You are good at playing basketball!

Brooke: When do we start ball-handling drills in the summer?

…

"MVP! You are here."

As I was typing, Buckley came over.

A big butt directly occupied the other half of the stool.

"So, what are the goals for next season?"

Buckley said and put his hand on Lin Ying's shoulder.

"Did you know that when we buy drinks in China, there is a word written on the bottle cap?"

"What?"

"One more bottle."

The meaning is obvious, do it again!

How can a champion satisfy anyone?

"Isn't that illegal?"

However, Barkley's words made Lin Ying stunned.

But Buckley is right. The law in the United States defines it as something similar to an "illegal lottery."

Of course, he then smiled and patted Lin Ying on the shoulder.

Of course he knew what Lin Ying meant.

"But I can't give you any advice. I have no experience in this area."

"fine."

Lin Ying replied with a smile.

Anyway, I have to train with Kobe this summer. Kobe is familiar with this.

Kobe: Do you want me to sneeze all the time and get rhinitis?

Just then Marley came over and took Barkley to chat elsewhere.

After a while, Cole came over to find Lin Ying and asked him about his championship parade.

“Any fun suggestions?”

Since it was the first time, the management wanted to brainstorm ideas.

Lin Ying shook his head, he was not good at this kind of thing.

But remembering Buckley who came to see him just now, he finally made a suggestion.

"We should probably invite Barkley along."

Cole nodded and took out a small notebook to write.

He forgot about this for a moment.

After Cole left, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun came over again soon.

This is to drag him into a championship interview.

He definitely won't be able to take any time off tonight.

…

Hotels in Phoenix.

James was sitting with Rich Paul at this time.

At this time, Paul was not James' agent, but the relationship between the two was already very close.

To put it in the most direct words, Paul is now a very important part of his camp.

James' mood at this time was completely different from that during the previous handshake ceremony. He appeared very irritable.

In last year's 23VS24, if he was the winner in the end, then he would legitimately replace Kobe and become the number one player in the league.

But he failed to do it in the end.

Although Kobe is missing this year, he still has the best chance to win the championship.

A championship has a lot of gold content. As long as the media creates momentum, the weight of one championship can exceed several.

But the problem is that he didn't do it in the end.

So now he's faced with good news and bad news.

The good news is that O'Neal's contract expires next season, and the Cavaliers can free up a lot of salary space, and with some operations, it is enough to sign a maximum-salary player.

The bad news is, no one wants to come to Cleveland!

Just now, he called his good friend Wade and re-talked about playing basketball together a few years ago.

Wade is also very frustrated now. Since O'Neal left, he has been leading the team alone and struggling.

But the experience of the past few years has told him that he alone will not be able to succeed in the NBA.

Therefore, Wade did not resist James' suggestion.

When they signed that contract, they anticipated that this situation might arise.

But when James mentioned Cleveland, Wade declined!

Who would take the initiative to play in a place like this!

For players of their caliber, each one is not an individual, but a very large team.

If they go to Cleveland, their commercial value will disappear by half, and the money lost will be more than the maximum salary they can get now.

Brothers don’t talk about money because talking about money hurts feelings!

"It's time to leave Cleveland. You've done everything you can to this city."

It was at this moment that Paul gave his advice.

James glanced at Paul and frowned.

"You and Dwayne can start over with a new team, not Cleveland, not Miami."

"where?"

James's answer shows that he has agreed to Paul's suggestion to a certain extent.

Or maybe he already has such thoughts in his heart and just needs someone to express them for him.

"I looked at several places that would be suitable. New York, Chicago, New Jersey, the Nets are now planning to move to Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles Clippers. Of course, that's the lowest of these options."

From this you can understand why Paul can become James' right-hand man. He is also a shrewd person and will think of things for James before he thinks about it.

James was thoughtful after listening.

The Knicks have a huge market, and they have a center with the potential of Eddy Curry.

Not to mention the Bulls, Rose is there, oh yes, Rose, the team's status will be a problem by then.

The Nets also have rising stars like Lopez and Devin Harris, and the Nets have a lot of chips and can trade for a third All-Star player in addition to him and Wade.

Three guys from Boston started this, including Phoenix, who are also the Big Three. They had better get three guys.

He didn't really want to go to the Clippers because they were too close to Kobe.

But these players can all sign him and Wade at the same time.

"I don't want to leave Cleveland. There are so many fans here who support me."

James spoke his mind.

His current mood is tangled.

However, what he struggled with was not what he said about the fans, but that leaving would bring too many negative things to him in front of the media.

A boy who slays dragons becomes a dragon by himself?

That may be something he can't save even if he wins the championship.

As a shrewd person, it is impossible for him not to consider these things.
