Before the third game of the Finals, Danny Ainge finally came to visit. He used the excuse of visiting the injured Lin Yu to make an appointment with Lin Yu at a high-end restaurant in Boston.
Except for filming, Lin Yu has never left the house. Now he can walk normally.
Jeff Schwartz drove his car and parked in front of Lin Yu's residence. He would accompany Lin Yu to meet with Danny Ainge. They both knew very well that this meeting would determine Lin Yu's next home.
"Recently, Yahoo Sports broke the news that the Celtics are selling Linsanity. Danny Ainge did not deny this in an interview. Boston fans therefore launched a protest. They launched a rally near Charleston Avenue in Newton and raised erected
A slogan was raised…”
As soon as he got in the car, Lin Yu heard the announcement on the car radio. Jeff Schwartz was listening to a local Boston radio station.
"There are actually fans protesting?"
"Are you surprised?" Jeff Schwartz drove the car and said with a smile: "This is actually normal. You have conquered the Boston fans. Everyone wants to see you stay and make achievements, but no one wants to
Seeing you leave, after all, let’s face it, the Celtics last season couldn’t even make the playoffs without you.”
Jeff Schwartz drove by in his car and soon passed the Charleston Avenue mentioned on the radio. As expected, Lin Yu saw many fans gathering, holding various slogans high.
"Leave Lin Crazy!"
"Without Linsanity, there would be no Danny Ainge!"
"Damn Danny Ainge, I'll fuck your mother!"
"..."
Lin Yu, who was sitting behind the car, sighed: "What a lovely group of fans..."
Jeff Schwartz, who was driving in front of the car, laughed again: "Even though they are cute now, when Danny Ainge announces the trade for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, they will still be the same fans. They will
Chanting: Oh God, the great Danny Ainge, let him live forever, let him always be in charge of the Celtics, never leave..."
Lin Yu also laughed.
They quickly arrived at the restaurant designated by Danny Ainge, and under the guidance of the waiter, opened a private room in the corner.
"Hello, Lin, long time no see. It seems like you have almost recovered from your injury?"
Of course, the polite part of the meeting is indispensable. Although Anji wants to trade Lin Yu, the two parties have not yet reached the point of breaking out.
Lin Yu smiled and replied: "It's not possible now. High-intensity confrontation will not be possible until the end of August."
"The recovery is fast enough. As expected of a young man's body. Everyone, please sit down. What do you want to eat?"
Danny Ainge asked the waiter to bring him the menu, and Lin Yu was not polite and ordered two ridiculously expensive Black Angus steaks, plus some side dishes.
The same goes for Jeff Schwartz, but Danny Ainge doesn't care, it's public money anyway.
"Lin, I'm very happy to see that your injury is recovering smoothly." While eating, Anji stopped, and then with another polite word, Lin Yu knew that he was about to get to the point.
"But what I have to tell you is that because of the changes in the Celtics' team plans, we made the difficult decision to trade you."
After Danny Angie said these words, he stared at Lin Yu's expression.
Lin Yu did not show a surprised expression in a timely manner. He was not an actor. He would not deliberately show surprise when he already knew something.
"Well, it looks like you already know."
Lin Yu smiled, but still didn't answer.
Danny Ainge could only continue: "In order to thank you for your contribution to the Celtics, the team has decided to let you decide your next home. Of course, it is not a random choice, but within the range specified by us.
Make a selection within.”
"I understand, Danny, tell me, what are the teams?"
"Rockets, Cavaliers and Warriors."
"Can you tell me their specific quotation?"
"Of course, the Rockets have the No. 8 pick plus a future first-round pick, the Warriors have the No. 9 pick plus a future first-round pick, and the Cavaliers have two future first-round picks, plus Alexander Pavlovich."
Danny Ainge introduced the specific quotes from the three teams, and by this time, Lin Yu had already made his choice.
"My decision is...Cleveland Cavaliers!"
"knight?"
Anji was a little surprised. At the same time, he noticed that Jeff Schwartz's expression was as usual. Obviously, Lin Yu had received the news from Schwartz before coming and made a decision in advance.
But obviously, Anji is not satisfied with this decision, because it means that Lin Yu will fall in the Eastern Conference, and they will be their opponents next season.
Although he is dissatisfied, Anji will not stop Lin Yu from joining the Cavaliers. If they can form the Big Three, even if Lin Yu joins LeBron James as a partner, Anji will not take it seriously.
The Big Three combination is rare in NBA history. I am afraid even Michael Jordan will not be its opponent.
"Then, as you wish, I will have further contact with the Cavaliers. Whether it will be a sign-and-trade or a direct transaction of the third-year contract, I will inform you and Jeff before the draft, and the specific details will be
The trade will be officially announced after the draft, and I hope you can help the Celtics keep it a secret."
After a dinner that seemed like a breakup with the Celtics, Lin Yu and Jeff Schwartz left first.
"Cleveland Cavaliers, in the end, you chose the place where no one shits in the village."
Jeff Schwartz once again made fun of the city of Cleveland. Obviously, he was not very satisfied with Lin Yu's choice.
"What if you choose the Golden State Warriors or Houston? One is close to the Bay Area, where there are the largest Chinese population in the United States, and the other is the Rockets, the most successful team in developing the Chinese market. You will avoid both correct answers.
Well, in the end you chose the only wrong answer."
Lin Yu smiled: "Whether it is the correct answer, time will tell. Before that, we should wait for the evolution and change of things."
In the future, LeBron James will have the largest number of Chinese fans in the NBA. Will it be in "big" cities like Cleveland or Miami?
Of course not, it relies on personal super strength, outstanding performance and wonderful performance on the court, and does not rely on the bonus of big cities.
The so-called business bonuses in big cities no longer have much effect on those superstars.
Therefore, Lin Yu was not interested in big cities.
Before the draft, the Celtics' various transfer operations were proceeding in an orderly manner.
Lin Yu also quickly received notice from the Celtics that they would implement Lin Yu's team option and then send Lin Yu to Cleveland in a direct trade.
Just like that, everything has been determined.
At this time, Lin Yu also embarked on a trip to New York to participate in the ESPN Finals special program.
