Chapter 222: Threat and Counter-Threat (2-in-1)
PS: Thank you for yesterday's "youth upward" reward, the last two days have been more things and the state is not very good, there are fewer updates, but it will definitely be made up, thank you for your support, thank you for your support, thank you to the brothers and sisters of the VIP group, love you......
Lin Feng, who is far away in the United States, didn't know that the headlines on the front pages of major domestic portals had been captured by him and Qin Ruolin, and the hottest topic at the moment was Lin Feng's record-breaking 82 points in a single game, as well as the gossip news that he and Qin Ruolin kissed on the court.
And Lin Feng's update of Weibo at this time is tantamount to "adding fuel to the fire", pushing the attention of his relationship with Qin Ruolin to a new level.
As soon as this Weibo came out, there were countless likes and retweets, netizens sent blessings one after another, and there was also a single dog crying and shouting that it had been injured by a critical hit......
And just five minutes after Lin Feng's Weibo was updated, Qin Ruolin also updated Weibo, netizens thought that Qin Tianhou would respond to Lin Feng's Weibo, however, Qin Ruolin's updated Weibo was very confusing.
The content of Weibo is only one sentence: "Say nothing and don't let you make a movie!" The sentence is accompanied by an arrogant expression.
"Making a movie? Does Lin Feng want to make a movie? ”
"It's possible that it's not Lin Feng, how can Lin Feng have time to make movies when he's so busy!"
"I always feel that Qin Tianhou should be responding to Lin Feng, otherwise how could the two of them update Weibo at such a close time?"
"Ask the great god to translate? Ask the old driver to lead the way......"
Seeing Qin Ruolin's Weibo netizens, they were all confused, while Lin Feng was full of wry smiles, it seemed that his method of posting Weibo to please him didn't work at all......
Next.
Lin Feng got up early, because today he was going to shoot the first commercial after endorsing Adi.
After washing, Lin Feng changed into comfortable casual clothes and walked out of the room.
"Why do you wake up so early?"
Lin Feng had just shown up in the living room, and just happened to meet Qin Ruolin who came back from outside, who was dressed in sportswear and seemed to have gone for a morning run.
"You're not earlier." Lin Feng smiled.
"No way, you have to stay in shape." Qin Ruolin pursed her lips slightly.
"It's okay, I like everything you do." Lin Feng took the opportunity to curry favor.
Qin Ruolin's face was slightly red, she was a little uncomfortable with Lin Feng's love words, but it sounded sweet in her heart.
"Are you going out?" Qin Ruolin asked again.
Lin Feng nodded: "Well, I'm going to shoot an advertisement for Adi today." ”
"Oh." Qin Ruolin nodded faintly, her mood was not very high, she thought that Lin Feng would be able to accompany her today.
"What arrangements do you have today, if it's okay, just follow me to the shooting site, it's my first time shooting an advertisement, and if you have you, you can also guide me as a rookie." Lin Feng seemed to see the loss in Qin Ruolin's eyes, and said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm fine anyway." Sure enough, Qin Ruolin had a smile on her face: "Then you wait for me, I'll go upstairs to change clothes." ”
Lin Feng said "um", and Qin Ruolin walked upstairs quickly.
About half an hour later, Qin Ruolin, who had finished changing her clothes, appeared in front of Lin Feng, New York at the end of May began to heat up, Qin Ruolin was wearing a goose yellow shirt on her upper body, with khaki plaid pants on her bottom, she was dressed in a simple and fashionable outfit, and she showed her figure very well, coupled with Qin Ruolin's unparalleled face that was beautiful without modification, it simply blinded Lin Feng's eyes.
So much so that when Qin Ruolin appeared at the staircase, Lin Feng lost his mind for a moment.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing Lin Feng staring at him stunned, Qin Ruolin's face turned slightly red.
Lin Feng smiled: "I'm thinking, why is my girlfriend so beautiful!" ”
Qin Ruolin walked downstairs and glanced at Lin Feng: "I was still thinking about it last night, is it too cheap for you to just agree to be your girlfriend." ”
"Well, don't think about it, it's already a boat!" Lin Feng said as he took Qin Ruolin's little hand and walked towards the door beautifully.
The entrance to the villa.
Walker was already waiting there in the business car that Lin Feng had allotted him.
Seeing Lin Feng and Qin Ruolin walking out of the villa hand in hand, he hurriedly got out of the car.
"Boss, I haven't disturbed your dreams so early." Walker said with a grin.
"Of course I bother, but I can't help it, who let someone take other people's dollars!" Lin Feng and Walker joked, and then pointed to Qin Ruolin and introduced, "My girlfriend, Qin Ruolin." ”
"Ruolin, this is my agent Walker."
"Hello Miss Qin, you are even more beautiful than you look on TV." Walker greeted Qin Ruolin with a smile.
"Hello Walker, I haven't had time to thank you for telling me Lin Feng's itinerary that day." Qin Ruolin had a phone call with Walker before, so after meeting, there was less stranger restraint.
"Let's get in the car, the shooting time I agreed with Adi is eight o'clock, and there are still forty minutes left." Walker said as he opened the door for the two of them.
Lin Feng and Qin Ruolin got into the car, and Walker returned to the cab and started the car.
"Boss, there are two things I want to tell you, the first is about the reply from the New York Knicks club that you want to play for the national team, and their attitude is still very resolute, that is, they don't want you to play for the national team during the playoffs!" Walker said as he drove.
"Still disagree? Even if you sweep the Pacers? Lin Feng frowned, the current domestic basketball world has undergone great changes, and the basketball association that was targeting him everywhere has already changed its face, so after serious thinking, Lin Feng still hopes to lead the national team to the Olympic Games.
In particular, after stepping onto the Olympic Games, he can also earn attribute points and gold coins by breaking records and doing tasks, so that he can kidnap more superstars and acquire more skills, so as to arm himself in all directions, this kind of opportunity, Lin Feng naturally does not want to lose.
"Boss, in fact, when the playoffs are over, it's not too late for you to report to the national team." Walker said that in fact, he doesn't really support Lin Feng to play for the men's basketball team, the Americans have always given priority to individualism, so they are not very keen on playing for the national team, but China is completely the opposite, representing the national team is an honor and a symbol of strength.
Lin Feng shook his head: "I'm just afraid that our national team will be eliminated in the qualifying round, in that case, I won't be able to appear in the Olympic Games." ”
"Well, boss, Mills actually gave us a choice, and that is that if you insist on playing for the national team in the middle of the playoffs, the New York Knicks are not completely unacceptable, but they have one condition." Seeing that Lin Feng really cared about playing for the national team, Walker said again.
"On what terms?" Lin Feng asked suspiciously.
"They want you to stay in New York and give them the right of first refusal to renew your professional contract." Walker said.
"Right of first refusal?" Lin Feng frowned and asked, "In other words, I only promised to renew my contract with them first, and they were willing to let me leave in the middle of the playoffs, is that so?" ”
Walker nodded: "It should be like this." ”
"They're threatening ???" Lin Feng's face turned cold.
"Perhaps, it's a bargain." Walker shrugged.
"But we're on the side of the forced trade!" Lin Feng said coldly: "I hate their way of doing things. ”
"Boss, in fact, most NBA teams do not allow players to represent the national team during the season, and this will be directly stated on the contract of the player, so this attitude of the New York Knicks is normal." Walker said.
"Is there a statement in my contract that I am not allowed to play for the national team?" Lin Feng asked.
"You're on a short-term contract, but there's no such thing." Walker responded.
Lin Feng nodded, thought for a while and asked, "Didn't you say that there are two things to tell me, what about the second thing?" ”
"Oh, the second thing is about your future contract." Walker smiled and said: "Boss you know, now all teams want you to join, and most teams have made it clear that they can pay the maximum salary, but among the many teams chasing you, the Los Angeles Lakers are undoubtedly the most sincere, yesterday the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers found me personally, and he told me that as long as you can wear the Lakers' jersey next season, he is willing to pay any price, in addition to the top new, he can meet all your requirements, as long as you are willing to join the Lakers!" ”
"This Thomas is very discerning." Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
"Owner, the Los Angeles Lakers are a great choice, they have a ball market on par with New York, and they are a team that has built a dynasty in the past, and they have a long history and heritage." Walker said.
"I know that." Lin Feng nodded, and asked again: "So far, haven't the senior management of the New York Knicks talked to you about renewing my contract?" ”
"Mills talked to me once, and he said that the Knicks are willing to offer you a maximum salary, but the length of the contract and the specifics are not yet available." Walker responded.
Lin Feng let out an "um" and asked, "So, what kind of priority renewal right did they propose, do you think I should agree?" ”
"Of course not, now the whole league wants you to join, of course we don't need to sign any right of first refusal with them!" Walker said with a disdainful face: "I think the Knicks' top management is also a bunch of idiots, and they actually let you go to the national team in exchange for some priority renewal rights, I really don't know who came up with this idea!" ”
"They're stupid!" Lin Feng sneered and said, "Walker, what will happen if I don't agree to them the right of first refusal to renew their contract and report to the national team at the same time?" ”
"Normally, if a player doesn't obey the club's management, he or he will be removed from the team by a buyout contract." Walker responded.
Hearing this response, Lin Feng smiled, Xue Zang? Banish?
How dare the Knicks do this to him??
Lin Feng didn't discuss with Walker about representing the national team anymore, because he already had a plan in mind.
……
Adi's advertising shooting went smoothly, and in the evening, Lin Feng completed all the shooting content, which is already very good for an advertising rookie.
After finishing work, Lin Feng and Qin Ruolin returned home together, speaking of which, it was hard work for Qin Tianhou today, because Lin Feng did not have an assistant by his side, so some of the assistant's work was done by Qin Ruolin's girlfriend, but Qin Ruolin enjoyed it, and she also taught Lin Feng a lot of experience during the filming.
The next day, at seven o'clock in the evening.
Game 4 between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers came as scheduled.
Madison Square Garden is still on fire, and with an hour to go before the game starts, the arena is already full, and fans in New York want to see the team advance at home.
Before the game, Lin Feng found Mills, the general manager of the club, who came to watch the game on the sidelines.
"Mills, there's something I want to discuss with you." Lin Feng walked to Mills near the front road.
"Lin, if you have any requests, just say it, the club will fully cooperate." Mills said to Lin Feng with a smile on his face.
'It's not a big deal, tonight's game is over and I want to ask the club for three days' leave. Lin Feng said.
"Leave?" Mills raised his eyebrows slightly, of course he knew the purpose of Lin Feng's leave, but he and several senior executives of the New York Knicks had already studied it, and they were not ready to let Lin Feng go to the national team.
"yes, I think you know that my name is on our country's men's basketball squad, and our national team is having some trouble in the Olympic qualifiers, so I have to report on it." Lin Feng said with a straight face.
"Lin, I hope you can distinguish the priorities of the game, you are a professional player, your priority is to play well in the professional league, as for the national team game, in the case of time conflict, it is still necessary to focus on the professional league." Mills said with a calm face.
"It's not a time conflict, our national team's Olympic qualifying tournament is just two days away, and at that time, the team is resting and waiting for the Eastern Conference semifinals in the second half of the region, is it also a time conflict?" Lin Feng asked in a cold voice.
Mills frowned, if the person in front of him was not Lin Feng, he would definitely scold the other party bloody, and then kick it out, with a sentence: "Get out of your national team, don't come back!" ”
"Lin, I don't know if your agent told you or not, it's not impossible for you to play for the national team, provided that you win this game first, and then, we can sign a preferential contract renewal agreement." Mills accompanied the smiling face, trying to make it a very easy thing to do.
And as soon as he heard Mills really mention the priority renewal agreement, Lin Feng's face immediately appeared with a sneer: "Can I understand that if I don't sign that priority renewal agreement, you won't let me go?" ”
"Well, well, actually, we just want to keep you." Mills laughed dryly, but his words were unconvincing.
"I just want to know if I don't sign it, will you let people go?" Lin Feng stared directly at Mills and asked coldly.
"In that case, it might be a little difficult." The corners of Mills' mouth twitched twice, and he spread his hands.
“OK! That being the case, I have something to tell you now! Lin Feng said seriously: "My physical condition does not allow me to participate in this game, so I will not play in this game!" ”
"What? You, you want a truce?? Mills frowned and said angrily: "You, are you threatening the team??" ”
"No, I'm really not feeling well." Lin Feng shrugged.
"Lin Feng, you don't think that the team will not be able to win without you, right?!" Mills was scolded.
'Of course not, I'm just not feeling well, and if the club were willing to sign an agreement with me that would allow me to play in the national team, I might be better.' Lin Feng said.
"You, you're threatening the team!!" Mills was furious, and no player had ever dared to defy the authority of the team's management in such a way.
"Okay, if you think it's a threat, then it's a threat, but when it comes to threats, it's you who threaten me first!" Lin Feng smiled coldly: "OK, I've already said what I want to say, I'm sorry, I'm going back to recuperate." ”
With that, Lin Feng turned around and left.
