Kobe Bryant's trade was stopped by James, which surprised Lin Yu. Thinking about it carefully, it was expected.
Soon, Jeff Schwartz also called and confirmed that what James said was true.
"The transaction was indeed stopped. The Lakers had already agreed to the price offered by the Cavaliers. As a result, Danny Ferry ended the transaction directly without giving any reason."
Jeff Schwartz smiled with some gloating: "Now the Lakers are in dire straits. The Pistons were rejected by Kobe. They don't like the Knicks' chips. The Cavaliers rejected them. They only have the Bulls to choose from. Okay.
The Bulls have a strong desire to acquire Kobe, and the deal will eventually be completed."
"Will the trade between the Bulls and the Lakers include Luol Deng?" Lin Yu asked subconsciously.
Jeff Schwartz gave the answer: "Of course, Mitch Kupchak would not agree to the trade without Luol Deng."
"Then this deal can't possibly succeed."
"Why can't it be successful?" Jeff Schwartz was a little confused.
Lin Yu explained: "Without Luol Deng, what's the difference between the Bulls and the current Lakers? No, maybe, the Lakers' market and exposure are higher, so, Jeff, you tell me that Kobe is still
What reason is there to choose the Bulls? He has the power to veto the trade."
"So, you think Kobe is going to veto the trade?"
"That's right."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu thought for a while.
Not being traded may be a good thing for him, because he will not have to be chased away and can continue to develop himself steadily.
The memes posted online by Zhan Lin can continue to be stolen, and the memes posted in the nightclub will not be affected.
And if he is traded, the only thing he can steal may be the nightclub posts.
However, the Danny Ferry trade gave Lin Yu a reason, perhaps a reason to leave the Cavaliers in the future.
"He can trade me, and of course I can find an opportunity to leave, just like Kelly Irving, and no one can find fault with me."
In Cleveland, Danny Ferry was a little helpless. He had a heated exchange with James. At first, he was not prepared to agree to James' request to end the deal. He was prepared to force the deal to be concluded.
As a result, team owner Dan Gilbert called him and ordered him to end the deal.
James has no control over the management's operations, but Dan Gilbert definitely has the right to do so, because the Cavaliers are Dan Gilbert's assets.
Danny Ferry felt it was a pity that the deal that was about to be concluded ended like this. Originally, he could have made big news.
Now, all he can do is push for the trade of Rashard Lewis. This is his last chance to defeat Danny Ainge and win the best manager trophy.
"It shouldn't be that difficult to trade Rashard Lewis now because there are no more competitors."
The competitors refer to the Lakers. The Lakers are about to send away Kobe. Naturally, they are no longer interested in Lewis. The only ones who want to trade for Lewis are the Cavaliers. The SuperSonics will no longer cover Lewis for the New Year.
Time flew by, and in the afternoon, the Cavaliers packed up their things, boarded the bus, and drove to the TD North Shore Garden Arena.
After about half an hour's drive, when the bus arrived at the entrance of the parking lot of the North Shore Garden Arena, the fans gathered on both sides cheered, and Lin Yu heard his name.
During his career with the Celtics last season, he still received support from some die-hard Celtics fans.
But after the cheers, there were boos and even curses, and then there were noises and conflicts.
"Look, the bearded guy wearing the No. 7 Celtics jersey is having sex with the fan wearing the No. 5 jersey."
The person shouting on the bus was Anderson Varejao. The bus turned the corner quickly, and Lin Yu, who turned around, only saw an afterimage.
But from Varejao's words, Lin Yu could guess what happened.
Lin Yu's die-hard fans in Boston cheered for Lin Yu, but those die-hard Celtics fans were dissatisfied with Lin Yu because Lin Yu always made remarks in the media against the Celtics and Danny Ainge.
.
After forming the Big Three in Boston, Danny Ainge has become the god of team building in the minds of many Celtics fans.
So, the cheers were followed by boos and curses.
Later, die-hard fans wearing Lin Yu's No. 7 jersey clashed with these somewhat radical fans in order to defend Lin Yu...
Lin Yu was both moved and felt that he was going to win this game even more. He wanted to tell those radical Celtics fans that he was at least better than Ray Allen!
The bus stopped at the back entrance of the arena, and a group of reporters holding press passes and interview passes surrounded the place. Under the protection of security personnel, the Cavaliers entered the North Shore Garden Arena.
In the face of many reporters' questions about Lin Yu's trade rumors, Mike Brown made a stern statement: "The trade between Lin Yu and Kobe Bryant does not exist. I hope you will stop fabricating news."
It seems that Yahoo Sports' report was directly slapped in the face.
But the actual situation is that at noon, Amanda Gray posted another report informing everyone that due to LeBron James’s strong dissatisfaction, the Cavaliers had stopped the Lin Yu trade for Kobe Bryant.
trade.
The two reports echoed each other, and Amanda Gray was in an invincible position.
She even speculated at the end of the article: "At present, the Chicago Bulls have become the last team still trying to trade for Kobe Bryant, but I don't think Kobe will choose the Bulls unless the Bulls can keep Ruhr-
Deng.”
Obviously, Lin Yu informed her of the speculation at the end of the article. Amanda Gray even believed that Lin Yu was not a guess and must have heard something from Kobe.
As soon as he entered the North Shore Garden Arena, Mike Brown denied any trade rumors that might affect the team's status before the game.
Then entering the locker room, Mike Brown focused on Lin Yu.
He found that there was nothing wrong with Lin Yu's condition, which made him relieved.
To win this game, the Cavaliers really have to rely on Lin Yu's performance. Without Lin Yu, this game against the Celtics' Big Three would have been a losing situation for the Cavaliers.
As for now, with Lin Yu in normal condition, everything is possible.
"Okay, guys, as you prepare for this game, let's talk about the tactical arrangements and specific targeted adjustments for this game..."
Mike Brown has been preparing for this game for a long time.
He took out a lot of low-end things, such as Lin Yu's support with the ball at the top of the key.
"In this game, Lin will appear more at the top of the key, holding the ball, and then coordinating the attack." Mike Brown then named James: "LeBron, you need to run more without the ball. Lin's
The key to supporting the top of the key is you."
"With more movement without the ball, we can get more opportunities to score easily, and the Celtics' biggest threat to us is their defense..."
LeBron James frowned without leaving any trace, no ball?
He glanced at Lin Yu, who had just decided to stay with the Knights one morning, and decided to give Lin Yu a try.
If Lin Yu knew that James was willing to try without the ball for him, Lin Yu would definitely be "touched" beyond measure.
