However, the weather in March was not suitable for going out to drink in the northwest wind, so Durant and Lin Ying lay down to rest after arriving at the hotel.

Durant immediately picked up his cell phone to read the news.

And he sat up quickly.

What got him up was naturally the newly updated draft list.

His position remained the same as before, but it was the first time he saw Lin Ying on the list!

"King, do you think that if you perform so well in the next game, can we confirm your candidacy in advance?"

Durant couldn't help but say.

Originally, their plan was to win the championship and then enter the NBA together.

If he doesn't win the championship, he will fight with Lin Ying for another year.

But now Lin Ying has been invited to try out again and has entered the draft prediction list early.

That’s not necessarily a required option!

"It's not impossible."

Lin Ying continued.

The NCAA championship is a great honor for players, and it is naturally the best to win the championship.

But you said that in order to win the championship like Hansbrough, they have to play one year after another until they have played for four years. They don't have that kind of obsession.

And after Durant said something like that last time, Lin Ying actually felt a lot of pressure in his heart.

Because if he fails to win the championship and Durant plays with him for another year, it would be because of him that Durant wasted a year in college.

He has been with Durant for so long and knows Durant's character, and it is definitely not just talk.

"No, no, we still have to compete for this championship and we can't let our university have any regrets."

Durant immediately shook his head and said.

However, it can be felt from his words that the "win the championship" he said now is different from the "win the championship" before.

Before, it was for Lin Ying to enter the NBA, but now it is for honor.

Removing a psychological burden may not be a bad thing for them.

And at this time, the two of them had a tacit understanding not to mention the game against North Carolina.

They just want to enjoy the joy of victory today and leave the matter of playing North Carolina until tomorrow.

"Ying, do you want to go to Los Angeles?"

Durant then asked.

The NBA is a place that basketball players dream of, and now it is just around the corner.

"Um."

Lin Ying had no objection.

After talking to the Lakers scout before, he did have a strong preference for the Lakers in his heart.

And as long as his butterfly wings are not so big, the Lakers will trade for Gasol next season.

At that time, I could still win two championships, and even work hard to help the team complete a wave of three consecutive championships. That would be beautiful.

"I want to go to Boston too."

Durant continued.

In fact, he would rather go to New York and Los Angeles. Who doesn't like big cities?

But the problem is that the Knicks are not in their hands before this year's draft. The Lakers are likely to be outside the lottery, and it is impossible for either team to select him.

In comparison, among the teams that may have drafted him, the Celtics are the best.

The Celtics have a long history and they know how to win.

As for Pierce's question, he felt there was no conflict.

Maybe his team philosophy is a bit paranoid, but that also shows his understanding of the sport of basketball.

After all, basketball is a sport for five people. No matter how strong one person is, he cannot lead the team to victory.

Kobe last season and Jordan before Pippen were both clear examples.

That kind of one-on-five thing can only exist in spicy novels like "My Shooting Is Too Accurate".

"I think it's better to go to Memphis."

Lin Ying continued.

Durant was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then couldn't help laughing.

He felt that although Lin Ying didn't talk much at ordinary times, what he said at certain times was very humorous!

Well, he has the potential to become the king of bad jokes.

What, you didn't get it?

According to the current draft predictions, going to Memphis means that Durant will edge out Oden to become this year's No. 1 pick!

But Durant can only guess at one level of meaning.

There are still second and third floors left.

On the second level, Lin Ying did not interfere in the NBA lottery, so the Celtics should not be able to draw the top three picks.

As for him affecting Yao Ming, and then Yao Ming made the Celtics lose one more game, and then the Celtics were lucky enough to get the No. 1 pick or the No. 2 pick, if it really happened, it must be a plot that can only be found in novels.

.

On the third level, as a good friend, he doesn't want Durant to go to the Celtics.

It's not that he has any resistance to the Celtics team, but because of the current general manager of the Celtics.

Danny Ainge's move in history to send Thomas away and Pat Riley not giving Wade a big contract can be tied as "the two most cold-blooded moments in the NBA".

Maybe "business is just business" and as agents they need to maintain their sanity.

But in comparison, the Lakers are willing to pay for Kobe's pension contract and make a decision.

And Lin Ying is not that great, saying that he wants to take care of the difficulties of the general managers without worrying about the future of his friends.

"King, do you think we have a chance of being selected by the same team?"

After finishing laughing, Durant turned to look at Lin Ying and said.

They played together in high school, then in college, and finally in the NBA.

This experience is comparable to other people’s ten-year long-distance love relationship!

Lin Ying originally wanted to say that it would be difficult, but then she thought about it and it seemed wrong.

His identity as a basketball data analyst is still very useful at times like this.

In this year in history, the SuperSonics originally only had the No. 2 and No. 35 picks, but when they traded Ray Allen to the Celtics, they got the No. 5 and No. 31 picks.

Draft him with the No. 5 pick?

This sounds great!

It's just a bit of a waste of imagination.

On the other hand, if there is a chance for the No. 31 pick, it is still very possible.

In history, they traded this pick to the Rockets, and then the Rockets took the future "Magic Bird" Carl Landry.

But now that they have the opportunity to win Durant's college gold medal partner, can they not use it themselves?

And if you can’t choose this question, it may not necessarily be a problem!

Why? Because it’s the SuperSonics management!

What don’t you recognize? You must be familiar with the Thunder!

The SuperSonics are the predecessor of the Thunder. They produce three MVPs and are the "Huangfu Military Academy" of the NBA. They have their own clairvoyance. Are you kidding me?

Who can guarantee that they won’t trade for someone in the middle of the first round or even draft Lin Ying in the lottery?

Anyway, cultivating one is cultivating, cultivating two is also cultivating!

Moreover, Lin Ying and Durant are teammates in high school and college, which directly saves the running-in process!

So don't tell me, thinking about it, there is indeed a high probability that he will continue to be teammates with Durant in the NBA?
Chapter completed!
