If it's him like in history...

"Don't you ask who we got back?"

At this moment, Walken Dean's slightly excited voice rang on the phone.

"who?"

Although Lin Ying had already guessed most of it, he couldn't say it directly.

"'Mr. Key'."

Walken Dean uttered a word that was obviously just a nickname.

But he also met Lin Ying knowingly.

Chauncey Billups, nicknamed "Big Heart", "Mr. Clutch", 2004 Finals MVP.

He's coming!

In history, he also came to the Nuggets this year, and took Anthony to the second place in the Western Conference, and then reached the Western Conference Finals.

As for why Billups can do it, the reason is actually very simple.

Because he has succeeded before.

If nothing else, Billups can make Anthony submissive with just one sentence:

"I'll teach you how to win."

When a former Finals MVP said something like this, no one believed it.

Even Lin Ying believed it.

Therefore, even if Walken Dean did not say that he had already dealt with Anthony, he felt that the problems between him and Anthony would be solved after Billups came.

Just, it feels weird.

Originally, they reached the second round of the playoffs last year, and Iverson should theoretically be able to stay.

But the deal still happened, just later than in history.

Moreover, it is related to him.

Or to put it in another sentence, it’s even weirder: Whether he travels through time or not, Iverson will eventually be used as a bargaining chip in the Billups trade.

Is this considered historical self-repair?

wrong.

O'Neal went to the Cavaliers earlier than in history, which is likely to greatly change the trajectory of history.

So this is more like indicating that the Golden Double Gun was a failed combination from the beginning.

A pair of Gemini stars without defense can never succeed in any era.

"Chauncy should come to Denver before the trade deadline, and Mr. Kroenke will ask you and Melo to have dinner together in two days. The location..."

Dining with the Nuggets owner?

Lin Ying looked confused when he heard this. He didn't expect such an arrangement.

Speaking of which, he has been with the team for more than a year and has only met Kroenke once. This sports tycoon has been traveling around the world.

But Lin Ying has some affection for Kroenke.

During the previous Wenchuan earthquake, Kroenke donated US$4 million.

Although the Nuggets now have a lot of influence in the country because of him.

But when it comes to donating money, no one says you have to do it.

Especially for foreigners, donating more or less will not have much impact.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ying felt a little sad again.

This sadness is naturally because of Iverson.

Making a phone call only takes a moment, but after the call is over, you have to face the transaction itself.

His relationship with Iverson is the best among the Nuggets.

Even better than Abrams.

…

The next day, the Nuggets officially announced the trade with the Pistons.

The Nuggets traded Iverson to the Pistons for Billups, McDyess, and a future second-round pick.

After the deal was completed, the Nuggets waived McDyess, who would re-sign with the Pistons a month later.

This wave is similar to the Spurs' previous operation of trading Barry.

Lin Ying called Iverson, and then the two made an appointment to meet at Lin Ying's villa.

Iverson looked a little lost.

This was also expected. He thought he had a chance to win the championship in Denver.

But now he has gone to the declining Pistons, and his future is unknown.

Lin Ying was not in a good mood before, but now that he saw Iverson in front of him, he felt even more sad.

Time travel is good because you can predict some things, especially when these things follow the historical trajectory.

But this is also the disadvantage of time travel.

It has nothing to do with you, just watch it happily;

It only makes me sad if it has anything to do with you.

Iverson went to the Pistons just like in history, and the outcome will most likely be the same as in history.

Even because of his unique personality, when Lin Ying reaches his peak, it would be unrealistic to bring him over to win a championship together.

Because at that time, Iverson was definitely at the end of his career. He had no ability to play and couldn't do it as a substitute.

Therefore, the final outcome will most likely be the same as in history.

How can we not be sad about this feeling of seeing the end of a friend's career but being unable to do anything?

The two of them talked a lot, starting from their first meeting at the Asian Championships, and ended up talking about Bowen.

The two laughed loudly when they talked about Bowen.

It must be a very satisfying feeling to be able to beat up a person recognized as a villain in the industry.

Especially the villain who was beaten by them and retired early.

Maybe they can talk about this matter from time to time after they retire, something like:

When I was young, it was two punches and one KO, one kick and one nose.

It must be interesting.

Initially, the two of them were just chatting, but they couldn't help but drink.

Although they have not yet reached the drinking age allowed by American law, only they know what happens in their home.

After a few glasses of wine, they talked about more than just basketball.

Talk about things in life, the fans, and even the team’s sexy cheerleaders.

"You should have found a woman a long time ago."

Iverson is like a parent who urges marriage.

"I would like to, but I'm afraid I'll be broken up in a few days. You know, I spend most of my time training."

Lin Ying actually told Iverson what was in his heart.

He definitely wants to fall in love, but he really doesn't have the time.

His original plan to meet Kelly Brook was shelved.

He didn't even have time to get to know them.

But if it's not about falling in love, but simply to vent, why doesn't he just pay for a high-end service?

If you can find the type you like, obey you, and know how to do it, wouldn’t it be great?

Iverson smiled and said nothing.

Come on, keep drinking.

It’s just that, wine is a thing, drink a little and have fun talking.

But if you drink too much, that sad emotion will overflow like a flood, and you can't stop it.

Iverson has to leave after all. From now on, when he is with the Nuggets, the only one who can speak is Abrams.

"Lin, don't be so sad. Maybe I can have a chance if I go to Detroit? You know the strength of the East is weaker than that of the West."

Perhaps because he felt that Lin Ying was more sad than himself, Iverson couldn't help but say.
