At the end of the game, Lin Ying went to the court with a smile on his face to congratulate Durant.

Durant, the veteran general, has made promises with him so many times to meet in the conference finals, and this time it will finally come true!

He can't wait to start the Eastern Conference Finals now, and he even hopes that the two teams can play seven games!

It’s not just about winning or losing the game, it’s about simply enjoying the game!

Seeing Durant still sitting on the sidelines, Lin Ying called him, and he stretched out his hand to indicate to Lin Ying to give him a hand.

Lin Ying pulled him up from his seat. At this time, he seemed to stagger a little.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Ying glanced at his legs and asked.

"My feet are a little sore and swollen. I'll put some ice on them later. It won't be a big problem."

Durant smiled and shook his head.

It's impossible to fight with an injury without any side effects.

It's a pity that the Hornets don't have as good conditions as the Nets, otherwise the cryostat would have been better.

Lin Ying nodded, then sat down and chatted with Durant.

After such a happy game, it is always very happy.

…

In the Bucks locker room, Antetokounmpo lowered his head and was extremely depressed.

Many years ago, he was inspired by James and began to study various game videos of stepping-stones.

In this process, Bruce Bowen became his mentor. All he had to do was to be better than his master.

Merely stepping on the ground is meaningless, stepping on the ground looks completely unintentional, that is the ultimate way.

He did it, and he succeeded twice this year. No one can say that he did it on purpose.

Only this time, not only did he fail to win the game, but he also injured himself!

The team doctor told him before that his ankle was in serious condition and he needed to go for a checkup immediately, but he insisted on staying because he wanted to see if the Bucks still had a chance.

But before the game was over, he already knew in advance that he had no chance.

In other words, this time he stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice!

His mood hit rock bottom.

At this moment, someone came into the locker room. It was his brother Thanasis Antetokounmpo.

His brother is also a professional player. He played 2 games for the Knicks in the 2005-06 season. This season he signed a minimum salary contract with the Bucks and became the 15th man.

Although in terms of strength, he is not even qualified to play in the regular season, but the NBA is often about human nature.

No, if the Bucks are eliminated, his brother will be able to play a role, and he has to do a good job in his brother's ideological work.

Thanasis sat next to Antetokounmpo and chatted with each other, talking about things that made them happy when they were young.

From this aspect, his brother is indeed quite competent, because at this time, positive persuasion is useless, and he can only rely on guidance.

This method worked quickly. Antetokounmpo finally looked at his brother, and the sadness on his face finally relaxed.

It was at this time that Thanasis started talking about tonight's game.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are still young. When I was your age, I was still working hard for my career dream. You are already very successful."

Antetokounmpo nodded after listening.

Thanasis hasn't finished speaking yet.

"And if you think about it, the Hornets and Nets, Lin and Durant will play in the Eastern Conference Finals next. One of them will always lose. No matter which one of them loses, it's a good thing for you."

When Antetokounmpo heard this, he turned to look at his brother blankly, and then nodded seriously.

This is true. Although it is regrettable to lose tonight, watching Lin Ying and Durant fight, the feeling is quite good!

Thinking of Antetokounmpo, his mood suddenly brightened, and a smile like the rain finally appeared on his face.

One heart-to-heart talk made Antetokounmpo feel more at ease, and the Bucks' basic salary was well spent.

…

All the conference finals matches have been announced, and the league announced the last batch of awards of the season at this time, the best team.

All-NBA First Team: Curry, Durant, James, Lin Ying, Antetokounmpo

All-NBA Second Team: Paul, Harden, Leonard, Davis, Jokic

All-NBA Third Team: Westbrook, Lillard, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Embiid

All-Defensive First Team: Smart, Jimmy Butler, Leonard, Antetokounmpo, Gobert

All-Defensive Second Team: Paul, Jrue Holiday, Lin Ying, Draymond Green, Anthony Davis

Most of the players selected for the All-NBA Team are players with the best records this season, among which the names of the Lakers' Big Three appear frequently.

This shows that the Lakers' strength this season has been recognized not only by fans, but also by the media.

Whether this is Durant's season is still a question mark, but from a team level, the Lakers are clearly the team with the most championship potential.

After the best lineup is announced, the conference finals are about to begin.

The game in the Western Conference ends early, and the game between the Lakers and Warriors will be played one day earlier.

On this day, the Nets arrived in Charlotte one day early to prepare for their trip to the conference finals.

Although the record is the same, due to the relationship between wins and losses, the Nets will start this year's Eastern Conference finals on the road first.

For Lin Ying and most of the Nets players, this feeling is a bit strange. After all, they haven't played on the road for a long time.

After Lin Ying arrived in Charlotte, he went directly to Durant's house.

The last time he went to the scene to support Durant, he went back to Brooklyn directly after chatting. After all, he couldn't leave behind his training.

Durant is also very busy now, and he is no longer the training hall bug who lived in the training hall before, because he still has to take time to spend with his son and daughter.

Just like Xiao Lin Yi back then, Durant and his two children are also very close to Lin Ying.

After playing with them for a while, Durant asked Dicker to take the children away, and then sat on the sofa with Lin Ying to chat.

The reason why they didn't go to the study room was because they wanted to watch the live broadcast of the game between the Warriors and the Lakers tonight.

"When are you going to get married?"

Lin Ying asked again after sitting down.

He had asked this question several times before, but Durant had always laughed it off.

What he didn't expect was that Durant actually gave an accurate answer this time.

"This summer."

This made Lin Ying a little sudden.

"Scindia and I just made an agreement not long ago, and we haven't had time to tell others yet. You are the first to know."

"Then this summer is very exciting."

Lin Ying smiled and stood up and gave Durant a big hug.

"Congratulations, you are going to be a husband."

Although he didn't know why Durant made the sudden decision, he was really happy for Durant.

Because in the history he knows, Durant has always given people the impression of a high-end pickpocket who is greedy for Scarlett's bath water.

But now, Durant and Scarlett have talked and truly have their own family. What could be more joyful than this?

When the two of them were talking about this, the game was about to start.

If you are a Lakers fan, you must be excited and nervous at this time.

Because this is the second time James has faced his old team, the Warriors, after joining the Lakers.

Last year, Davis' injury caused the Lakers to be eliminated from the game, which they couldn't let go of all summer.

Now, just one year later, they have a chance for "revenge", and this time the Lakers' overall strength is obviously stronger than the Warriors. How can this not be exciting!

They are nervous because they are facing the Warriors after all. Once Curry breaks out, the Warriors will not be embarrassed to beat anyone.

And more importantly, no one knows whether Davis will be injured again in this level of confrontation.

Of course, neither Lin Ying nor Durant are Lakers fans. They are just spectators now. Durant even found a soft stool and raised his legs so that he could watch more comfortably... Well, Sandpiper

Clams fight.

As soon as the game started, the Lakers played a wave and quickly opened up the score.

From the details and performance on the field, you can completely feel that they are the better team on the field.

And they played very consistently. At halftime, they were already leading the Warriors by nearly 15 points.

"The Warriors basically have no chance."
