On May 12, the Wenchuan earthquake occurred.

This is also another major disaster that China has encountered since SARS.

However, the government mobilized quickly and people from all over began to flock to Wenchuan for earthquake relief.

A steady stream of donations has also been sent to the disaster-stricken areas.

Lin Ying donated 16 million, the same amount as Yao Ming.

At the same time, Anta also donated a large number of shoes, including LinK-1, to the disaster areas...

It is worth mentioning that under the call of commissioner David Stern, many NBA stars and owners have made donations.

Most of the donation amounts are similar to those in history. The biggest differences are with three people:

The Nuggets owner's donation increased to $4 million.

This change is all related to the emergence of Lin Ying. The Nuggets' current domestic influence and market are different.

Iverson donated $1 million.

Allen Iverson: My brother's home is my home.

Another one is Kobe.

The most discussed news in history, "Kobe Bryant donates $5 million", also has the final answer.

Kobe did not donate that much, but a "Kobe Charitable Foundation" established in Kobe's name donated 5 million yuan.

But in addition, Kobe also donated $1 million in his own name.

…

On the way back to Austin, Lin Ying asked Abrams about the "Queen".

"who?"

Abrams' answer made Lin Ying understand directly.

Sure enough, when we talked again, Abrams said that he dumped people not long after he entered the NBA.

"She said she had 99 boyfriends, and I was the 100th."

What a painful realization.

After hearing this, Lin Ying tried not to laugh out loud.

You never know how many people have visited the paradise you are looking for.

It's better to be single.

If you don’t love, you will never be hurt!

Wouldn’t it be nice to train it?

Lin Ying, Durant and Abrams caused a sensation when they showed up at the University of Texas.

The sensation was not because they were back, but because Durant came back in a truck!

Looking at Durant getting off the truck, Lin Ying felt that the scene in front of him was only one safety helmet away from the migrant worker Du in his impression.

And just to win the Rookie of the Year trophy, does it require such a big battle?

A group of students are watching.

But when the truck door opened, what was inside surprised everyone.

It is not for transporting trophies, and the contents inside are absolutely unimaginable.

That's...

A mattress!

Lin Ying almost fainted in front of him.

You are completely wasting the expressions of the onlookers!

In order to make up for the crowd of onlookers, Lin Ying was finally pulled to sit down and sign autographs for the students.

And soon, Damai James and Pittman also came after hearing the news.

After signing the names, Durant directed them to move the mattresses to the training hall.

Only then did Lin Ying know the reason why Durant brought a mattress.

He found training in Oklahoma boring and planned to return to the University of Texas to train and live in the training facility as before.

This mattress was made comfortable for him to sleep on at home, and then it was flown here.

After listening to this, Lin Ying gave Durant a thumbs up.

As expected of you!

Only Durant can do such a thing!

When they arrived at the training hall, Lin Ying talked about old times with Augustin and the others.

Pittman looks a lot thinner than last year.

If this rate continues, by the time Pittman enters the NBA, he will definitely become a weight loss inspirational figure in the United States.

It's a pity that social media is not developed enough in this era, otherwise he would probably make more money by hosting a weight loss live broadcast than playing in the NBA.

After a while, Barnes and the school leaders arrived, as well as many media reporters.

Everything should be done with a sense of ceremony, and things like presenting the Best Rookie trophy are naturally inevitable.

Lin Ying and the others chatted with Barnes for a while.

Lin Ying and Barnes talked a lot.

What Barnes taught him in his one year in college, whether it was in interviews with reporters or in the face of failure, has benefited him a lot since he arrived in the NBA.

Of course, the chat was more than just chatting, Lin Ying also gave Barnes a car key.

A Lincoln car.

Lincoln is the standard business car in the United States and is more suitable for middle-aged people.

And the price is not expensive, less than 200,000 US dollars.

Don't ask. If you ask, you still have a lot of money and no place to spend it.

What's more, without Barnes' trust in him, he wouldn't have been able to go from unknown to lottery pick in just one year.

A thousand-mile horse also needs Bole.

"Why is there no DJ?"

When the ceremony was about to begin, Durant realized that a former comrade was missing.

"He should be preparing for the draft."

Lin Ying said.

If Augustin and the others did not run for office in advance last year, they basically ran according to historical lines.

Augustin is the 2008 lottery pick in history.

James on the side nodded accordingly.

After Lin Ying and Durant left, the University of Texas instantly returned to mediocrity.

Except for Augustin who played better statistics due to the increase in his shooting rights, James, Pittman and others have made limited progress.

Especially for James, he might as well run for the election with Lin Ying.

Look at Abrams, he got a chance to play in the playoffs.

However, there is no such thing as regret medicine in this world. Because the draft prediction was very poor, he could only stay at the University of Texas and continue to play.

After the delivery ceremony was over, the principal took Lin Ying and the others to talk about another important matter.

The University of Texas is preparing to retire their jerseys in September!

It's a little early!

But it is understandable, the reputation of the University of Texas is really average.

Fame generally means that you can't recruit good players, and if you can't recruit good players, you won't be able to achieve good results, and then it's a vicious cycle.

In order to change this situation, the twin stars Lin Ying and Durant must not be regarded as treasures.

Cultivating the NBA's Double Best Rookies, this is the best recruitment brochure!

During this chat, Lin Ying learned that the University of Texas was currently in contact with Jrue Holiday, the second high school student in the country in the class of 2008.

According to Barnes, Holiday has at least a 70% chance of becoming a member of the University of Texas.

And they are also looking for transfer students and junior college graduates from other schools.

For example, I have already contacted Jimmy Butler, a junior college graduate from Tyler Junior College.
