Chapter 183: The Most Arrogant High School Student

(Merry Christmas everyone, please subscribe!! )

The 1994 NBA All-Star Game was held from February 11 to February 13 in Minnesota, and this year's NBA team hosted the Timberwolves, the league's newcomers and the league's fish belly team.

In addition to Lin Han, Stockton and Malone participating in the All-Star Game this year, the Jazz players also participated in the rookie game with Lin Han and Russell, as for the three-point contest and slam dunk contest, no one from the Jazz team signed up, Lin Han originally wanted to sign up for the slam dunk contest and the three-point contest, but was directly threatened by the team's head coach Jerry Sloan and refused.

Joke, in Jerry Sloan's opinion, Lin Han has two games to play on the All-Star Weekend, which is already very tiring, and he has to participate in the three-point contest and slam dunk contest that don't have much practical meaning, what if he is too crazy to play in the All-Star Syndrome? Although Lin Han repeatedly explained that he had absolutely no problem with his physical fitness, how could Jerry Sloan believe it, unless Lin Han told Jerry Sloan that he had a system that could restore his physical strength in the system, but this was impossible.

Therefore, Lin Han's expectation of participating in the three-point contest and slam dunk contest with great interest was impossible to realize, and except for Lin Han, the Jazz no one else has the ability to sign up for the three-point contest or the slam dunk contest.

Therefore, this year, in addition to Jerry Sloan, the Western Conference All-Star head coach, the Jazz have a total of four people participating in the All-Star Weekend, although the number is not very large, but it is definitely not small.

Of course, because the All-Star Game is held on February 13th. So after Malone and Stockton came to Minnesota, they directly abandoned Lin Han and Russell, and they were going to play here for a few days, you know. Minnesota may not be as big as New York and Los Angeles, but its opera is world-famous. And whether it's Malone or Stockton, these two Jazz leading players really like this mouthful.

In the NBA All-Star Weekend, Malone and Stockton did not have many endorsements, plus the last All-Star Game, these two Jazz players have won the MVP of the All-Star Game, so they do not have much pursuit for this year's NBA All-Star Game, in this case, they are really here to enjoy the holiday.

And after Lin Han came to Minnesota. That is absolutely not able to enjoy the holiday, although Lin Han is now raising his value very high, as long as there are manufacturers who want to find him to endorse, Lin Han basically doubles directly, so many manufacturers are directly scared away by Lin Han in addition to being arguing with Lin Han, and now Lin Han's endorsement contracts are only McDonald's and Adidas, McDonald's can be left alone, and it will not be busy until this summer.

And the Adidas thing, which requires Lin Han to take advantage of the world's media gathering during the All-Star Weekend, needs Lin Han to promote his sneakers.

Since February 1, Lin Han's sneakers have been officially unveiled. The sales of the Miracle Generation have reached the point of madness, except that the pre-sale volume has reached 850,000, in less than half a month. In addition to the more than 85 pairs of pre-ordered sales around the world, more than 3o pairs have still been sold, and Lin Han's miracle generation has reached a terrifying 12o pairs in sales just for the ordinary version, although according to Arie, after 2o years, Jordan's sneakers can sell more than 2ooo pairs in the world every year, and 1 pair of 2 pairs of basketball shoes sold in the United States is Jordan's, but that is 2o years later, the basketball market has been fully opened.

And now, the basketball market is just beginning. Therefore, don't look at Lin Han's current 12o pairs and Jordan's 20 million pairs 2O years later, there is no comparison. If it's just now, in fact, the gap between Lin Han and Jordan is not that big. According to Nike's sales of 4o billion US dollars announced last year, Jordan's sneakers accounted for about 1o%, that is, the sales of Jordan series last year were only between 400 million and 500 million, and Jordan 4 also set a record of more than 5 million pairs of sales.

Of course, although the sales gap between Lin Han and Jordan is not so big in terms of quantity, but in fact, it is not so small, according to what Ellie said, twenty years later, 1 pair of 2 pairs of basketball shoes in the United States is Jordan's, so before Lin Han's miracle generation, I am afraid that most of the basketball shoes in the United States are Jordan's, so now Lin Han's miracle brand and Jordan's Flyer brand are the key things to seize the market, especially Jordan's influence is still huge because of his departure from the NBA, but this is a good opportunity for Lin Han.

Lin Han's requirements are not very high, as long as 2O years later, Jordan's total annual sneaker sales of 2.3 billion US dollars will be divided into half to Lin Han, of course, if you want to share half of Jordan's sales in the United States or the world, such a goal is also extremely huge.

At least, for now, the Miracle Generation is difficult to do, according to Adidas's meaning, they predict that the global sales of the ordinary version of the Miracle Generation will be about 250,000 pairs, compared to the Jordan 4 generation five years ago, the sales of 5oo million pairs are only half, but because the special edition of the Miracle Generation is now scheduled to be over 1o million pairs, plus the special edition, according to Adidas, the total sales of the Lin Han Miracle Generation are almost 3oo million pairs.

This is already a figure far beyond Adidas's expectations, after all, Utah, where Lin Han is located, is too small, with only more than 2oo people in the whole state, not to mention compared with Chicago, even the Cleveland Cavaliers are located in the Cleveland region of Cleveland have more than 2oo0,000 people, and Ohio, where Cleveland is located, has more than 1ooo people, and the population of the entire state of Utah is not as good as the population of a large region of Cleveland.

Therefore, now Adidas wants to increase sales, the United States is not good, everyone will buy what should be bought, and if you don't buy it, you won't buy it in the future, the most important thing now is to open overseas markets, last year, Nike announced annual sales of 4o billion, but 1o billion are from overseas, this proportion is not low, with Lin Han's popularity in the Asia-Pacific region. He has an advantage over Jordan, plus Adidas has an advantage in Europe, so this year's All-Star Game. Lin Han's task is quite onerous.

So, on the second day of coming to Minnesota. That is, on the morning of the start of the All-Star Rookie Game on February 11, Lin Han cooperated with Adidas to participate in a lot of interviews and business activities, until all the interviews were over, Lin Han collapsed, and this Nima was much more tired than when he played.

"Lin, where did you kid go in the morning? If you say that everyone will eat together, you will be absent."

After participating in all the business activities in the morning, Lin Han took a little rest. Soon came to the target center, because according to the all-star process, the whole team had to practice together in the afternoon.

So when Lin Han came to the legendary team locker room in the stadium, as the head coach of the team, Larry Bird directly opened his mouth and sprayed Lin Han, and after Larry Bird reminded him, Lin Han suddenly realized that he had forgotten about it.

"Boy, you'd better find an agent for me quickly, it's too difficult to contact you kid"

Lin Han usually doesn't like to bring that bulky looking mobile phone, and he doesn't have an agent. There is no assistant either, and it is really difficult for others to contact him, so he was complained about by Larry Bird. Lin Han was also a little embarrassed.

Of course, because Lin Han is the captain of the legendary team and the top name, although he did not participate in the team's understanding and exchange activities in the morning, the other legendary team players also stood up and greeted Lin Han after seeing Lin Han come in.

And most of the players in this are things he knew before, such as Mashburn and Channey. Alan Houston, Rodney Rodgers. Dinora Dia, these are NBA players. Lin Han has played against them on the court, not to mention Van Axel and Russell, so although Lin Han is the first time to be the captain, the reputation of this team is actually quite good, and these NBA players are still quite convinced by Lin Han.

Of course, in addition to these NBA players in the locker room, there are two non-NBA players, one of the small men stood up from his seat a little nervously after Lin Han entered the door, and it was obvious that the small player sitting in the closest position outside the door was Allen Iverson.

"You're Alan Iverson, aren't you?"

Lin Han said with a smile after looking at the little player who was hacked with him at the beginning, but at this time, Iverson obviously didn't know what to call Lin Han, so he was directly stunned for a while.

"Aaron, don't be nervous, just call me '1in'"

After Lin Han finished smiling, he patted the small defender and looked at the tall and thin young man next to Iverson who was still sitting in his place.

Obviously, this tall and thin player who pretended to sit in his position and tie his shoes was Kevin Garnett, who clearly didn't want to know Lin Han, and he had very opinions about Lin Han, and at this time, Iverson on the side was also a little dissatisfied when he saw Garnett like this.

You know, as a player who is also a high school student, Iverson took the initiative to greet Garnett after he came to the locker room, who knows, this guy ignores him, in Iverson's opinion, his current reputation is not very good, except for a few well-wishers such as Lin Han, it is estimated that most people look down on him, so he doesn't care too much.

But at this time, Lin Han is different from him, Lin Han is not only the captain of the team, but also the most popular superstar in the NBA now, no matter how big he is in the United States, he is just the future high school star selected by the United States Today, and Lin Han is not at the same level at all.

So, at this time, Iverson was really dissatisfied with Garnett, this kid was too ignorant.

"You're Kevin, I've heard from Alex and Larry, the future number one in high school basketball, a very good player"

Although Garnett pretended to ignore Lin Han, Lin Han, as the captain, couldn't be angry with a high school student, what would that look like, so he still walked over and took the initiative to say hello to Garnett, Lin Han walked down the aisle in front of him, and Garnett couldn't pretend not to see Lin Han anymore, so he stood up a little reluctantly and hugged Lin Han reluctantly, which was regarded as a greeting.

"I need to participate in some business activities this morning that I can't shirk, so I can't participate in the group activities, I want to apologize to everyone here, I will treat you after today's competition, you can choose the location"

Lin Han also said with a smile after greeting all his teammates. And at this time, when Lin Han said that he was going to have a treat after the game, the locker room of the legendary team was also cheering, although everyone was an NBA player. And it is a very good NBA player who is not short of money, and the reason why they cheer is not because of Lin Han's treat. It's that Lin Han didn't put up a fight in front of them.

You must know that with Lin Han's current status in the NBA, this legendary team can't even see Lin Han's back except for Mashburn, who is the same as Lin Han and is known as the four-small swingman.

"Okay, everyone knows each other now, Lin, you prepare now, and then we'll go to the arena together."

Larry Bird smiled as he watched Lin Han finish greeting. is also said excitedly, as the first game of his career coach Larry Bird is really concerned, the recent NBA former king is really idle after retiring, the Celtics are now two factions of internal hype, whether it is conservative or radical although they respect Larry Bird, but they don't want to use Larry Bird, directly put the team's symbolic figure on the shelf, and hold it high, just don't let him take care of things, no way. Larry Bird's popularity is so high that if he joins the team's management or becomes the team's head coach, the Celtics will not have only two factions. I'm afraid a third faction will emerge.

Therefore, in this All-Star Rookie Game, Larry Bird took the initiative to ask David Stern to take the initiative to ask Ying to be the head coach of the legendary team.

After Lin Han sorted out all the equipment, under the leadership of Lin Han and Larry Bird, the players of the legendary team also walked out of the locker room and went to the stadium, and at this time, as the two youngest players of the team, Iverson and Garnett, who walked at the back of the team, had a very fierce exchange of eyes between the two at this time, Garnett was very unhappy with Iverson, and Iverson was also very unhappy with Garnett.

And when Lin Han and his group arrived at the arena, the players of the challenge team had already started training under the leadership of Barkley and Hardaway. At this time, the stadium was also full of media from all over the world, and this training session was an open training session. All media and a small number of fans are allowed to visit.

At this time, after seeing Lin Han come to the stadium, the fans and media reporters on the sidelines were in an uproar. You must know that among these two rookie teams, Hardaway and Lin Han are the most popular, Hardaway's popularity is mainly in the United States, and Lin Han's popularity really comes from all over the world.

So when Lin Han appeared, the Jazz rookie even saw some fans holding Japanese flags and South Korean flags on the sidelines, which made Lin Han also sweat.

"Boss, there's something wrong here!"

Just when Lin Han walked to the stadium and went around the field to greet the fans, at this time, suddenly behind Lin Han, Russell's voice came, and at this time, Lin Han looked back and directly saw Iverson and a young man with a somewhat thin face facing each other in the middle circle.

And when Lin Han saw the player who confronted Iverson, he even couldn't believe it, and then wiped his eyes, until he confirmed this person, Lin Han was speechless again.

"How did Kobe Bryant get in?"

Don't dare, soon when Lin Han saw a group of reporters on the side of the court who pointed their cameras at Iverson and Kobe, Lin Han knew how this persistent kid got in, and it was clear that he was brought in by this group of reporters.

Therefore, when he saw this scene, Lin Han had a direct headache.

"Lin, let's see what to do now, if you had chosen Ronnie Fields, there wouldn't have been so much to do."

After Lin Han came to the court, Larry Bird complained about Lin Han again, and at this time, Lin Han also shook his head with a wry smile again.

"Coward, dare you go head-to-head with me"

At this time, Kobe Bryant was in a very unhappy mood, this persistent and arrogant young player has been challenging like Iverson for so long, Iverson has been avoiding him, unwilling to accept, if it weren't for these kind reporters to take him to the stadium to find Iverson directly, I'm afraid there will really be nothing to do with him after the rookie game starts tonight.

"One-on-one, whoever wins will play, whoever loses will get out"

After Kobe Bryant finished speaking proudly, Iverson standing in front of him at this time was still silent, and the reporters on the side and some of the challenge team players standing behind Kobe Bryant, such as Ryder and George Lynch and Chris Webber, had already begun to coax, making it clear that they wanted Iverson to fight.

After seeing this scene, Lin Han immediately realized that something was wrong, so he was ready to intervene to stop it, but at this time, before Lin Han could speak, he was directly choked back.

"Shut up, I'll challenge you when I'm done cleaning up this coward"

Lin Han didn't even open his mouth, but he was directly amused by Kobe Bryant, who was extremely domineering at this time, although in the system space, Kobe was indeed able to clean him up easily, but can this Kobe in front of him be the same as that Kobe?

Where did this kid get so much confidence, it seems that if Jordan is here at this time, it is estimated that this kid is really ready to abuse Iverson and then challenge Jordan directly after picking Lin Han. This little guy is really much more arrogant than himself.

"Boy, I accept your challenge, and besides, I'm not a coward, and Lin is not a storage that you can challenge."

Just when Lin Han was a little angry with Kobe, what made all the onlookers on the sidelines exclaim that Iverson, who had been silent, actually responded to the battle, and even Garnett, who had always been very disdainful of Iverson on the side, was a little surprised at this time.
