Santa Clara County, California, within the boundaries of Silicon Valley, is where Yahoo's headquarters is located.
Amanda Gray was a little excited. She stepped on her high heels, swiped her card to enter the Yahoo Sports office area, and then quickly walked to the editor-in-chief's office.
She had just received a piece of breaking news from Lin Yu, a piece of news that would definitely shock the United States.
But now she cannot directly publish the news because Yahoo Sports has regulations that all exclusive news obtained by reporters must be reported to the editor-in-chief first. The editor-in-chief can confirm the source of the news and the accuracy of the report before the news can be published.
This is the biggest difference between formal big media and tabloids. They will try their best to avoid publishing inaccurate reports to prevent lawsuits.
Because of this rule, Amanda Gray hung up the phone on Lin Yu and dialed Yahoo Sports editor-in-chief Johnny Luden.
Then I was told that on Christmas Eve, Luden was still working overtime at the company, and Amanda Gray rushed over immediately.
After knocking on the glass door of the editor-in-chief's office, Amanda received a response of permission to enter. Then she opened the door and saw one of her colleagues with some surprise.
"Good evening, Mr. Luden, and Adrian."
Adrian's name is Adrian Wojnarowski, and he and Amanda Gray are colleagues at the same level. The moment she saw Wojnarowski, Amanda Gray smelled something unusual.
the breath.
It is understandable that Mr. Luden worked overtime on Christmas Eve, and Wojnarowski was also there, which meant that Wojnarowski also had big news to review.
Combined with the explosive news she got, Amanda Gray was a little worried whether she and Wojnarowski had crashed.
"Tell me, Amanda, what's the breaking news? Even Christmas Eve doesn't make people feel safe?"
Amanda Gray glanced at Adrian Wojnarowski: "There's a Kobe Bryant trade."
Amanda observed the expressions of the other two people in the office. She clearly saw that when she mentioned the name Kobe, Luden glanced at Wojnarowski.
"So, the news reported by Adrian for review is also related to Kobe Bryant."
Amanda made a judgment, and then continued to elaborate on the news she wanted to report for review: "The source is an unnamed player from the Cleveland Cavaliers. The specific content is that the trade negotiations between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Lakers have reached the final stage.
, the specific details are unknown, but one thing that is certain is that Lin Yu must be included in the transaction."
Amanda continued to turn her attention to Adrian Wojnarowski, and she found that when she told Johnny Luden about the breaking news she had received, Wojnarowski was also a little surprised.
This illustrates from the side that the news Wojnarowski received was different from her own.
"It's the Kobe Bryant trade again, this time it's the Cavaliers? Are they going to form a 23+24 combination?" Luden sighed with an elusive smile.
Amanda couldn't help but ask: "The news report Adrian got?"
Adrian Wojnarowski then nodded: "Yes, but my source of information is from the Chicago Bulls. Their trade negotiations with the Lakers are also in the final stage. The specific details are unknown, but what is certain is that the transaction
It will definitely include Ruhr Deng.”
He then shook his head: "But Amanda, in comparison, your news is more explosive."
Johnny Luden knocked on the table with a thoughtful expression, and then said: "Amanda has always had a source of information in Cleveland, and Adrian has always had a source of information in Chicago. Therefore, the truth of these two pieces of news is
There is no need for special verification of sex. You all send it out individually, and you have to be fast, so we can seize the opportunity."
Amanda Gray immediately walked out excitedly, and Adrian Wojnarowski was a little envious of him, because in comparison, Amanda Gray's news was more explosive.
Think about it, what does it mean that representatives of the Mesozoic generation and representatives of the new generation will join forces? It means that there will be another super team in the Eastern Conference. Although it is a configuration of two superstars, the two superstars of the Cavaliers are real superstars.
.
In terms of strength, the Cavaliers' two giants may be stronger than the Celtics' three giants. The NBA is approaching its finale.
More importantly, this transaction also included Lin Yu. Lin Yu, who had just been traded, was traded again, which caused a lot of saliva. You can imagine.
Early in the morning after Christmas Eve, Mike Brown was waiting in the lobby of the hotel.
Last night, he gave all the players a day off and asked them to meet at the hotel at nine o'clock the next morning.
Last night, Lin Yu left Pierce's house after eating the turkey dinner and stayed in the hotel, so he was not in a hurry and slept until eight o'clock.
When he went downstairs, he saw that most of his teammates had already arrived.
Lin Yu particularly noticed that LeBron James was on the phone, his tone and expression a bit angry.
Lin Yu, who was hiding something in his mind, didn't pay attention to the content of James' phone call. He found a sofa to sit down and thought blankly.
Lin Yu is already prepared for the evening game. Regardless of whether he leaves Cleveland in a deal, he will lead the Cavaliers to win the afternoon game.
For this reason, Lin Yu used up the five random attribute points he had saved, and he used these five random attribute points to break through attributes.
"Now I have broken through the attributes to 54 points. I will continue to practice more and strive to break through 60 points."
The random attribute is added to the breakthrough attribute, which can not only help Lin Yu perform in the evening game, but also prepare for possible transactions.
If he is really sent to the Lakers, he may face a situation where he will be promoted early and be forced to continue the next game as the boss.
And breakthrough is a must-have attribute for a great leader.
The only pity is that Zhan Lin can't steal the link. If he can still steal it, he should be able to get one of Wade's attributes...
In the corner of the hotel lobby, LeBron James hung up the phone. He saw Lin Yu sitting in a daze on the sofa and quickly walked over.
"Good morning, Lin, there seems to be something wrong with you."
James sat next to Lin Yu, and Lin Yu smiled.
After one night, he gradually accepted the fact that the Cavaliers might want to trade him away. Perhaps, it wouldn't be a bad thing to become the boss of the Lakers without Kobe Bryant.
"I saw the Yahoo Sports report and I called Danny Ferry. He is indeed talking to the Lakers about a Kobe Bryant deal."
The transaction was confirmed by James, but Lin Yu still smiled. Now, he can accept it whether he is traded or not.
James continued: "But now, you don't need to worry about this, because I have stopped this transaction..."
"What?"
Lin Yu was surprised. The transaction was stopped? What was James thinking? He didn't want to join forces with Kobe?
"I don't want to play with Kobe, Lin. I know very well that he is not suitable for me, and you are the most suitable wing partner for me."
"So, the transaction is suspended?" Lin Yu gradually returned to reality from surprise, and then continued to verify.
James shook his head: "Wrong, Lin, it's over, completely over, this deal no longer exists!"
Looking at James with a sincere face, Lin Yu was thoughtful.
"This guy is probably worried that if Kobe comes, his status will not be guaranteed."
It’s not that Kobe’s arrival will take away James’ leadership position, but that with Kobe’s arrival, the Cavaliers will no longer be James’ team alone.
