After the outbreak of the "gun gate" incident, NBA commissioner David Stern has been sitting on pins and needles, in order to save the image of the NBA in people's hearts, Stern simply does not think about tea and food.

Just when the exhausted Stern felt that his blood bar was about to bottom......

Energy drink from Lin Yi +10000HP!

Medical kit from the Chinese market +10086HP!

Adrenaline from positive energy public opinion +10010HP!

Resurrection at full health!

Stern feels like he's come back to life!

The impact of the "gun door" incident on the Chinese market is relatively small, and Lin Yi's wave of four pairs has reversed the trend of public opinion for a while, coupled with his witty performance on "The Allen Show", people seem to have forgotten about "gun door" all of a sudden.

Stern now looks at how Lin Yi looks and how pleasing to the eye.

Why is this kid so hungry for him?

You know, Stern is all committed to making the league's games look better, and it's true that defense wins championships, but you're all going to play defense and hugging, what about the fans? Do you want the fans?

How popular were the Suns that year?

Moreover, New York is the largest city in the United States, and the appeal of the Knicks is not as attractive as it is because New York is unattractive, but because the Knicks themselves are not attractive.

But the appearance of Lin Yi and the Knicks' salted fish turned over, giving a new life to this city that had been extremely passionate about basketball.

Even if the professional circle looks down on Rock Park, you have to admit the status of Rock Park in the hearts of the grassroots!

New York has a unique basketball atmosphere, and the owner Dolan is rich, but the Knicks have been dying and keep dying.

Well, now that the Knicks have achieved results, and Lin Yi, the top pick from China, has made the Knicks team full of potential and plasticity.

If it was in the 90s, Stern would definitely not choose to praise Lin Yi so much, because it was very simple, there was Jordan at that time.

After entering the new century, Kobe Bryant, who was praised by Stern, was riddled with negative news, and in the past two years, he has finally recovered and his popularity has returned to its peak.

LeBron James is a good boy, but the Cavaliers have not been able to win the championship and are also killing his popularity, if you want to blame the "old rascal" is too ruthless, even if he has retired for so long, people think that Jordan cannot be surpassed.

It's really not that the past is thick and the present, but that the "old hooligans" are really too much.

Therefore, after entering the new century, Stern was unanimously committed to developing overseas markets.

Nash is also Canadian, Nowitzki is German, even if Da Yao entered the All-Star Game in his rookie season to start, Stern did not impose interference, because Stern knows that the American market has always been limited, and if basketball continues to be played like this, it will become a sport that Americans play by themselves.

Lin Yi's potential in the Chinese market is terrifying, look at how Alexander's door-picking guy has been making money after the financial crisis?

Why did Alexander say that he would not sell Team Rocket when Da Yao was there, and as soon as Da Yao retired, Alexander didn't want to play.

To put it bluntly, people are also businessmen, and if they do that kind of business, they may die like Sterling, but they will not miss the real business opportunities in front of them.

Alexander knows very well that the Rockets only need to hype up the championship every year, as for the real championship trophy? That's not important, let's make money first.

So after Lin Yi's fierce operation, Stern felt that it was really dawn!

Is New York boss Dolan bad for money?

Dolan is obviously not bad for money!

If the Knicks win the championship in the future, once Lin Yi is picked up, Stern feels that the picture is as beautiful as it is!

Don't look at Lin Yi has been instilling "poisonous chicken soup", but in the eyes of many American teenagers, Lin Yi is synonymous with positive energy!

In this era full of "soul healing" and people have drunk and vomited "Chicken Soup for the Soul", motivation and encouragement may sometimes not be as good as a scolding that can make people full of energy.

So the day after Lin Yi got the four doubles, Stern called a meeting of the league's top management.

The focus and theme of this meeting is around how to support Lin Yi.

It's a pity that Lin Yi's "lifelong enemy" Griffin in college is still on the sickbed, otherwise Lin Yi and Griffin's grievances in college will be hyped to the NBA.

If Stern only tilted the resources before, then the most important thing now is how the alliance will protect Lin Yi, the rising star of hope.

"I think the first thing is that Lin should finish this season healthy, and as you know, January and February are the peak period for injuries in the NBA." A senior member of the alliance believes that Lin Yi is indeed worthy of praise, but the premise of praise must also be that Lin Yi can continue to play healthily.

It's impossible for the alliance to hold a glass man, right?

When Stern decided to praise Lin Yi before, many people raised objections, the reason has nothing to do with Lin Yi's popularity and strength, the most important thing is that Lin Yi's style of play, will it hurt his knees?

The top management of the league is not a group of people who don't know how to play ball, and the reason why Stern is willing to praise Kobe and James also has something to do with others.

Just imagine, the alliance finally concentrated resources to bring out a supergiant, and as a result, this supergiant was reimbursed every year, so what is the point of winning.

"I agree, I think we should give this little guy some help appropriately, don't look at him doesn't like to fight in the low post, when he breaks in, take the game against the Bobcats, I was worried that he would get hurt a couple of times." Another top league member offered his opinion.

Of course, Stern also watched the game where Lin Yi got a quadruple-double, can Larry Brown's team play cleanly?

Stern didn't like Larry Brown's Pistons back then, of course, if you want to say that Stern gave Larry Brown a stumbling block, it's not that good, fans are not stupid, why didn't Stern care even if the Spurs swept the Cavaliers 4-0 in 07?

You must know that if it is a "joke brother", if you can't say it, you will play to tie seven in that round.

The box office is important, but word of mouth is even more important, and proper help is not equal to a black whistle, but a shift in some balls that can be blown or not, which is also a kind of protection for the stars.

The NBA's superstar whistle, to put it bluntly, is also a way to protect the superstars, otherwise those superstars are so reckless, one step down, one elbow down, then what?

"Well, we're going to have to say hello to the referees again, and I think the Bobcats have had a couple of fouls in this game." Stern nodded.

The rest of the discussion was much more pleasant.

The first is to concentrate resources, so that it is impossible for Lin Yi to win the MVP in his rookie season, this season James and the Cavaliers are dominant, but there is no problem for him to enter the top three, and the other is to continue to publicize the All-Star Game voting results, and let the media report and publicize Lin Yi more, his coaches and teammates during the NCAA period can pull out and take turns to interview, give Lin Yi a special feature, and broadcast it at the right time.

The second is to step by step, to build momentum for this year's slam dunk contest, anyway, Lin Yi has set up a FLAG many times, so he will publicize that Lin Yi has prepared a big move to participate in this slam dunk contest, which will cause people to pay further attention to the All-Star Game, and at the same time promote Lin Yi as a violent dunk general.

In the end, it is to invite more celebrities who have a good impression of Lin Yi and have a good evaluation, so that they can go on more shows to blow Lin Yi, and these interviews will also be hung on the NBA's official website in China, so that Chinese fans can feel Lin Yi's influence in the United States.

This meeting went well, Stern's strength lies in the fact that he will not agree to the bad ideas of his think tanks, he knows how to balance very well, and now Lin Yi's popularity is very high, so it will be okay to blow it up to the sky.

After Lin Yi's heat passes, it will be gradual, because blowing it too much will cause people to be disgusted, after all, Lin Yi is still a rookie.

In the end, it depends on whether Lin Yi can grasp the opportunity.

Every time I think of this, Stern is full of resentment towards Vince Carter, and Carter, who is half-human and half-god, has not received any resources, but Carter is not the paranoid kind of Kobe Bryant, the NBA of that era, how can you grab the scoring champion if you don't shoot crazy?

There is no scoring champion, no MVP, no championship, no matter how strong you are and how good your character is, fans will quickly forget about you.

Carter was just too honest.

Even sometimes Stern wonders if Carter is so low-key because his cousin is Maddie?

At the end of the meeting, a league executive also proposed: "Lin ranks first in the league in the number of ultra-long three-point shots this season, should the three-point contest be ......?"

Stern nearly killed the high-ranking man who made the suggestion without a sip of coffee.

Because Lin Yi is a rookie this year, he will definitely participate in the rookie game, and he will also participate in the All-Star Game, it would be good if he could agree to participate in the slam dunk contest now, and you still let him work hard to participate in the three-point contest?

Isn't this a matter of human life?

But spray to spray, Stern thinks, what if Lin Yi wants to participate in it?

……

On January 9, the Knicks flew to Houston together to prepare for the away game against the Rockets, which was another return to Lin's hometown, where he and Curry once led the Davidson Wildcats to the NCAA.

Speaking of which, elementary school students are in good shape after entering January, and after Nelson Sr. scolded Ellis, Ellis didn't dare to mess around, you must know that Ellis was at the peak of the season, and his average shot per game exceeded 27 times......

Curry hit a career-high eight three-pointers in the last game against the Hornets, and poor Chris Paul also had a face-shot shot in the game after being nearly shaken down by Curry.

The Hornets have already let Scott roll up, but unfortunately they have lost too much in front, Lin Yi estimated, Paul played like this for about 44 or 45 minutes, and sooner or later he had to repeat the injury he remembered.

"You're in Houston? Haha, buddy, good luck guys! I've been in good shape lately, and although I can't match your 61 points and quadruple-doubles in the third quarter, I'm also one of the 'wave brothers'! Curry said excitedly to Lin Yi on the phone.

Lin Yi smiled, speaking of which, I haven't played 2K with Curry for a long time, and Lin Yi really misses the time when he was with Curry.

The two have common interests and hobbies, and there is no shortage of topics.

It's just that...... Will the future Klay children's shoes cry and faint in the toilet, it is obvious that Curry prefers the "Wave Brothers" to the "Splash Brothers"!

In Houston, of course Lin Yi had to pay a visit to Da Yao, Da Yao directly invited Lin Yi to eat at home, Lin Yi also saw Ye Li and called out to his sister-in-law.

Da Yao's parents are also giants, and this table of giants eats together...... The picture is really harmonious.
