"...This is not an honor for me alone, and it never will be, because I couldn't do it without the others, Kevin, Nikola, Kobe, Derrick, Avery...even those who have given every single

The staff, they are all FMVP.”

Lin Ying's final finish also earned him explosive cheers.

This is, the perfect night!

…

A few days later, the Nets' championship parade was staged again in New York.

The scale of this championship parade was far greater than before.

Because as shown at the award ceremony, the significance of this championship is too great.

Moreover, this championship also made the Nets' market value rise again, surpassing the Knicks and becoming the most valuable team in the NBA.

Not only the Nets, Lin Ying's personal assets also experienced a blowout after this championship.

Counting his share of the Lin-K series and the companies he owns, his assets are even on par with Jordan's.

This is actually not surprising, because Lin Ying has a strong Chinese market and his commercial value is unprecedented.

In the words of fans, as long as Lin Ying is willing, even if he retires, he can immediately become the owner of an NBA team.

…

"Have you decided?"

A week after the Nets won the championship, Durant was sitting across from Durant at Lin Ying's home. Lin Ying looked at him and asked.

Just now, Durant said he was ready to opt out of the last year of his contract and leave Brooklyn.

Durant nodded. He thought about it a lot in the past week and finally made this decision.

Lin Ying was actually not that surprised.

Because before last season was over, Durant had already discussed this topic with him in depth.

The only thing that surprised him was that he thought Durant would win four consecutive championships with him before leaving.

But if you think about it carefully, the two of them really have nothing to prove anymore.

And Durant's choice to leave at this time point is not wrong. Considering his current age, if he has this idea, he will definitely have a better chance of leaving as soon as possible.

"Have you figured out where to go?"

Lin Ying did not persuade Durant to stay.

Because this idea was not made by Durant in a moment of enthusiasm, but was carefully considered.

Durant shook his head.

"I plan to communicate with Tyron and Mark first, and then start meeting with some teams. If possible, I want to return to the West."

Durant said with a smile.

"Back to Oklahoma?"

Lin Ying said with a smile.

This choice is expected.

If they stay in the East, the two will become direct rivals for a long time, which is probably not what Durant wants.

But if he goes to the West, whether he plays with the Warriors or the Lakers, that's what he wants.

But he is also a little curious, because there are not many teams in the Western Conference that have the strength to compete with these two teams.

Durant is here to prove himself, not to accompany the team in rebuilding, nor to form a team like James.

So, it's really hard to say.

Durant smiled and said nothing.

Returning to the place where the dream began is indeed one of the choices.

Of course, Westbrook is still there. If he chooses to go back, he will probably have to be prepared for high blood pressure as before.

"This is a good thing, both for me and for you."

However, he did not give a clear answer, but said something strange.

Lin Ying looked at Durant doubtfully.

He can understand the first half of the sentence, but the second half?

"You know what? I was watching social media two days ago, and they attributed the success of the Nets to the success of the Gemini, not me, not you, but us, so I thought I would leave, you can do four consecutive games alone

If you wear the crown, those sounds will completely disappear."

Durant's next words were very meaningful.

Although the Nets are not a team, in essence, the strongest point is indeed the Gemini.

This may be the biggest difference between Lin Ying and Jordan now, or it may be a slightly weaker point.

Because when you mention that Bulls team, you will say Jordan, not "Joppi Team".

"Of course, if you can beat me."

Durant added with a smile.

Lin Ying laughed loudly after hearing this.

From this perspective, Durant's departure is indeed not a bad thing.

And he also felt the challenge, or passion, again.

Because Durant will leave next season, Jokic's big contract will be renewed, and Kobe's decision is still up in the air, the Nets will lose a Durant out of thin air.

Originally, the Nets were the dominant force regardless of whether they were competing against the Warriors or the Lakers.

But if Durant suddenly disappears out of thin air, he will be at a disadvantage.

Although Warken Dean's ability will bring back some immediate combat power in Durant's trade.

But no matter who it is, it can't be compared to Durant.

So if we can complete four consecutive championships in this context, which has never been accomplished by anyone since the new era, it will definitely be very meaningful.
Chapter completed!
