New York, the Knicks' pre-season training has been going on for some time.
Lin Yu has formed a habit of getting up at six in the morning, running around his home basketball court and then starting shooting training.
After practicing until the hand feels hot, I finish my early morning training and go to the restaurant to enjoy my breakfast.
After breakfast, we go to the Knicks' training facility, which is usually in Queens. We only go to Madison once a week for the media opening day.
Coincidentally, today is the media open day, and Lin Yu is going to Madison.
Compared to Queens, the distance to Madison is almost the same, but it has to go through the downtown area and there are too many traffic jams along the way. This is Lin Yu's headache.
Lin Yu was eating breakfast and thinking about what car he should drive to Madison.
I won't consider the Maybach. It's comfortable to sit in and average to drive. Generally, when traveling in a group, he will consider the Maybach only when there is a driver around.
When traveling alone for training or competition, Lin Yu would choose one of his several supercars.
In these days of training, he has always driven the model endorsed by Ferrari. Some time ago, he just bought a Koenigsegg from a wealthy Chinese businessman. After thinking about it, he decided to take this opportunity to try
Try out this new car.
"Liv, bring me the key box."
Liv, one of the nannies in the family, came from Cleveland to New York. She has been working for Lin Yu for the third year. She is considered an old employee. Her current status is equivalent to the supervisor of Lin Yu's family.
The key box was brought, Lin Yu picked out Koenigsegg's key from it, hurriedly swallowed the remaining half of the chicken sandwich in his mouth, and was about to leave.
At this moment, Amanda Gray pushed open the door and entered.
"Leaving off so soon?"
"I'm going to Madison today, you know."
Lin Yu put on his coat and prepared to set off, but Amanda Gray seemed to have something to say.
"Don't you want to hear the big news this morning?"
"Big news? Let's talk about it."
Lin Yu continued walking, in disguise letting Amanda Gray talk as she walked.
"The deal between the Pistons and the Nuggets is completed, three for one, Chauncey plus Antonio McDyess plus Szabo, the trade gets AI."
"Have McDyess been sent away?"
Lin Yu was a little surprised. In his mind, McDyess did not return to the Nuggets three times. Has history changed again?
But this is unreasonable. The Nuggets have no shortage of centers. They have Nene, Camby and Chris Anderson, as well as Kenyon Martin who can play the five position.
The Pistons are on the contrary. They are very short of a certified center. It stands to reason that McDyess should be not for sale to the Pistons, similar to Rasheed Wallace.
Amanda Gray quickly gave the answer: "The Nuggets will waive Antonio McDyess after the deal is completed, and then the Pistons will re-sign McDyess."
"I see."
Lin Yu, who was stunned, shook his head. He knew that after this transaction, the Pistons would officially withdraw from the ranks of the Eastern Conference's powerful players.
One fact is that in the Billups era, the Pistons reached the Eastern Conference Finals many times, but in the post-Billups era, the Pistons have not won even a single playoff series.
The Pistons are gone. In the Eastern Conference in the new season, apart from the four major powers, the only thing worth noting is the Atlanta Hawks.
"The east is still the east that is not very powerful..."

Amid the roar of Koenigsegg's motor, Amanda Gray watched Lin Yu drive away.
In the first section of the road, perhaps because he was in a wealthy area, Lin Yu didn't encounter any cars, but when he turned out of this neighborhood, there were suddenly more cars on the road.
Especially when we get on the main road, we are almost stuck in traffic jams for a while, and we can't keep up the speed at all.
A journey that was originally more than twenty minutes, but Lin Yu drove for almost an hour and only walked half of it. His patience was almost exhausted.
"Damn it, New York is so congested!"
Counting the second half of the previous season, Lin Yu has lived in New York for half a year, and for recent training camps, he has always been commuting to Madison and is tired of this level of traffic jams.
After continuing to move forward for a while, Lin Yu, who had left early, realized that he was about to be late.
"Fxxk!"
After another swear word, Lin Yu found a spot and stopped the car.
Regardless of whether this location was illegal parking, he could afford to park anyway, so he got out of the car, found the nearest subway entrance, and rushed in.
"Oh my God!"
Lin Yu rushed very quickly, and an old white woman flashed past him, causing a cry of surprise.
Then, in the crowded subway, countless eyes turned towards me.
After that, more exclamations began to sound.
"Forest!"
"Oh my God, who do I see?"
"Lin Kuaishou, am I riding on a horse correctly?"
"You read that right, that's right. Although I have prosopagnosia when it comes to Asians, I will never mistake Lin's face."
After confirming Lin Yu's identity, a group of people suddenly surrounded him.
Lin Yu was scared out of his wits. There were too many people in the subway station. Once he was blocked, being late was only a small matter. If he ran into some anti-fans, it would be a real big deal.
His speed has always been very fast. After hearing the craziness in the subway, he immediately increased his speed. Like a snake, he shuttled quickly among the crowd. Then, before a subway that was about to leave closed,
He rushed in directly.
He is safe!
It was safe, but he made too much noise, and the passengers who were already on the subway also noticed something strange about Lin Yu.
Then the plot in the subway station was repeated. The difference was that there were not many people in the subway, so it was not that dangerous.
Facing the enthusiastic and crazy fans, Lin Yu patiently signed autographs and took photos. After arriving at the station, he immediately raised his alertness and quickly shuttled through the subway station.
But when he arrived in Madison, he was caught by Lionel Hollins at the door of the locker room.
"You're late, Lin."
"I know, Leon, the roads in Madison are too congested. I suggest that next time we have media day, we should move to Queens..."
Lin Yu still couldn't help complaining. After hearing this, Hollins smiled with a smile on his face: "Traffic jam is not an excuse. Lin, you know the punishment for being late."
Lin Yu nodded helplessly. After changing into his training suit, he silently went to the training ground to run laps.
On the media open day, the media naturally came in. Lin Yu, who was running around, was quickly spotted by New York Times reporter Larry Hamilton.
"Hey Lin, I heard you appeared on the New York subway today?"
Lin Yu smiled bitterly while running in circles: "Yes, this stretch of road in Madison is too congested. I can only use the subway to avoid the congestion."
"Traffic jam? That's understandable. However, Lin, you should know that public figures like you should avoid appearing in closed places with a large flow of people like subways and shopping malls."
"I know, but there's nothing I can do if I'm stuck in a traffic jam, right?"
Lin Yu shook his head. After running continuously for almost half an hour, he suddenly accelerated and threw away Larry Hamilton.
