Airports in Phoenix.

Li Linlin, who had just come from the hotel and was waiting for Lin Yun'er's plane to land, received a call from Brother Turtle.

"Lee, what do you think of the sophomore team we killed KD and Jeff in the rookie game?"

"Russell, they've been winning for six years in sophomore years, and it's hard for us to beat them."

"It's okay, I've already told Ross that we'll play real from the beginning and not play with them."

"I'm fine, but if you do this, are the other first-graders willing? They don't want to get hurt. ”

"Okay, you can do it, I'll go find the others and contact them, don't worry, I've got it all planned."

"Doodoo ............"

Westbrook happily talked to Li Forest on the phone, and he planned to get Durant in the rookie game, and hung up directly after the chat.

Westbrook is going to contact the other rookies, and he has long been preparing to give Durant's sophomore team a drink, something he has been planning for a long time since he was on the roster.

After hanging up the phone, Li Shulin shook his head.

That's the kind of character that Westbrook is, you all want to play in the All-Star Game, you don't care about winning or losing, but he wants to win.

According to the understanding of the turtle, as long as it is a game, he has to win.

This competitive spirit is particularly different.

However, it's hard to accomplish this kind of thing.

All-Star Rookie Game for the past six years.

All the first grades were defeated.

One of the drawbacks of playing a sophomore is that sophomore players have more NBA experience and are more capable of confrontation, so there is an imbalance in the balance of strength.

After all, second-year students have more career experience than first-year students, and their comprehensive level is higher than that of first-year students, so the probability of winning is very high, and it is too difficult for first-year students to counterattack and defeat them, this is not a simple talent comparison.

The NBA All-Star Game is one of the major games of the NBA All-Star Weekend.

The first All-Star event was held in 1994, and most of the games consisted of the freshman team taking on the previous rookie team (the second-year team), and the coaching staff selected the best nine rookie players at the time to form the rookie team.

This year's rookie roster came out in January.

Sophomore Stars – Thunder forward Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Hawks center Al Horford, Clippers forward Al Thornton, 76ers forward Thaddeus Young, Knicks forward Wilson Chandler, Pistons guard Rodney Starkey, Rockets forward Luis Scola, guard Aaron Brooks

Rookie Stars – Bulls guard Derrick Rose, Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo, center Marc Gasol, Portland Trail Blazers center, guard Rudy Fernandez, Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, Forest Lee, Clippers guard Eric Gordon, Heat forward, 2008 star Michael Beasley, Nets center Brook Lopez.

Lee's impressive performances in December and January quickly earned him the favor of the coaching staff and his inclusion in the roster.

After the list was announced, Lee's performance has become more and more consistent, and he is the undisputed TOP5 rookie in this year, and after scoring 70 points, he has successfully surpassed Derrick Rose in the rookie rankings, and now he leads all first-round rookies on this list, slapping 29 team management in the face.

…………

The All-Star Game has grown from a single game at the beginning to a "All-Star Weekend" that lasts for 3 days.

Activities include the All-Star Gala, Rookie All-Star Challenge, Slam Dunk Contest, Three-Point Shooting Contest, Basketball Skills Challenge, Shooting Relay Race, and All-Star Game.

Of course, the most exciting ones are the "Slam Dunk Contest" and the "All-Star Game".

During this year's All-Star Weekend, Lee Forest only participated in the Rookie Challenge.

The three-point contest invited him, and he didn't go.

The technical challenge doesn't take his turn as a backup point guard for a bad team.

The All-Star Game didn't even have his voting options.

As for the most popular slam dunk contest, Li Forest has dunked less than 5 times this season, and it is even more unlikely that he will be invited.

There was also a more interesting thing that happened during the All-Star voting this year.

When the NBA officially announced the results of the third vote count of the 2009 All-Star Game votes, the number of votes for Nets forward Yi Jianlian had reached 959,324 in this period, approaching the million mark, surpassing Garnett.

Although this can explain the status of the UAE in the hearts of Chinese fans, this situation has also caused dissatisfaction among other strikers in the east, causing a lot of controversy.

Li Linlin is also very glad that he was not on the voting list this year, otherwise these senseless spearheads would be against him, and if he killed Paul in the vote, it would be very funny, and the Chinese fans really did this, then how wronged it is.

The current Li Forest has no time to deal with these off-the-field things.

Li Forest came to Phoenix the day before the rookie game began, and stayed in the hotel that the team had already arranged, this hotel Kobe, James, Wei Shao, Du Shao and other big families all lived here.

Lee Forest arrived in the morning, and the rookie game was tomorrow.

Because it was an All-Star Game, the ticket supply to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was very tight.

Lin Yuner's ticket can only be booked to arrive in the afternoon, and the two people who originally made an appointment to arrive together have to separate.

Li Forest had no choice but to go back to the hotel to put her luggage first, and then come to pick her up in the afternoon.

After hanging up Westbrook's phone, Li Forest entered the airport hall.

At this time, the airport was already crowded.

There were a lot of fans, media, fans, and the families of the players, and the scene was very lively.

There are a lot of people, which also leads to long queues at all entrances and exits, and there are many uniformed personnel at the scene to maintain law and order.

The NBA's All-Star Weekend was a huge show.

It's a fun day for all the fans and players.

In addition to players and fans, NBA officials also invited many entertainment stars to perform and interact with players and fans, so the eighth largest Sky Harbor International Airport in the United States ushered in the most lively day of the year.

Lee Forest is the star.

The alliance has long said hello to the airport with all kinds of preferential treatment.

After Li Forest entered the airport, he went all the way to the VIP lounge of the airport and sat down, just waiting for the arrival of the beauty.

After waiting for about half an hour, Li Forest saw Lin Yun'er coming out of an exit from the window and quickly coming out of the VIP room.

Lin Yuna wore a royal blue one-shoulder ruffled casual top, revealing her sexy and fair collarbones, and a high-waisted blue denim leggings on the bottom.

The slightly curly long hair is very sweet, with pink platform heels, which makes the legs look particularly slender, and then the right hand pulls the suitcase, and the head is looking left and right, looking for someone's figure.

Li Shulin quickly walked up and took the suitcase from her right hand.

"Oba, I'm so tired!"

As soon as Lin Yun'er saw Li Linlin, she was coquettish.

Then her hands got into the crook of Li Linlin's arm and kept holding it.

When Li Linlin heard this voice, his bones were crisp.

is worthy of being a singer, her voice is really sweet.

"Well, let's go, let's go back first."

The two walked intimately towards the exit.

The moment the two walked out of the airport exit.

"Click!"

Many media outlets that had been prepared for a long time quickly lit up their flashes, and another pair of stars came.

In the United States, Li Forest and Lin Yuner are at most familiar stars.

Li Forest is not at the level of Kobe James, and Lin Yuna is not at the level of Madonna, so the American media did not react much. It's no wonder, they have seen too many stars today.

However, there are also many Asian media at the exit of the airport, especially the Chinese media and the South Korean media, who are completely crazy, carrying cameras and microphones and rushing towards the two of them.

Li Forest is undoubtedly the hottest sports star in Asia at present, and the other is a popular member of the "Asia's No. 1 Girl Group", who is a new generation of goddess-level figures in South Korea.

Now, this Korean goddess, like a good girlfriend, looks at the Chinese man holding her hands with a smile.

"Big news!!"

The Asian media at the airport, seeing the riot, quickly moved into action, and a bunch of uniformed personnel helped the two to clear the way.

How dare the two of them stop at the airport.

It's not the time to be interviewed.

As soon as he came out, Li Forest drove Lin Yun'er back to the hotel.

The two had just put down their luggage.

I was just ready to get tired of being crooked, and I just kissed it.

Li Forest received a call from his agent Pelinka.

"Lee, where are you now?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Pelinka's impatient voice came from the receiver.

"I'm at the hotel, what's wrong?"

Li Linlin replied very unhappily, and he was naturally unhappy when good things were disturbed.

"Oh, you're in the hotel, you can come up to the 1803 meeting room on the 18th floor of the hotel right away! There is a very important endorsement contract today that you need to sign. ”

"Well, you'll wait."

Li Linlin hung up the phone after speaking.

Very helpless, Li Forest stopped Lin Yun'er's hand movements, pushed her away, and said:

"Yun'er, wait a minute, the agent is looking for me, and now I want to go up to the conference room on the 18th floor of the hotel, and he will talk to me about the endorsement contract."

"Well, there you go!"

When Lin Yun'er heard that Li Forest was leaving the room, she was a little unhappy, and she had just arrived in a strange place, so she had to stay alone again.

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Li Forest with big eyes.

"Let's go, let's go together!"

After all, Li Linlin couldn't bear to leave this girl to work as soon as he arrived at the hotel.

"Excellent! Can I really go? ”

"Yes!"

Li Linlin said very domineeringly.

Pelinka was working for him, not to meet anyone.

.......

"Lee, haha! Do you guess what price Nike and Adidas offered you? ”

As soon as Li Forest opened the door of the conference room, Pelinka couldn't help but look at Li Forest and said.

Pelinka also saw Lin Yuna behind her.

But he didn't care, it was too normal for a player to have one or two girlfriends, he knew that Li Linlin was measured, and he didn't need to worry about business secrecy if he could bring it.

Lin Yun'er has a very high emotional intelligence, she knows when to speak and when not to interject, just hiding behind Li Linlin.

The meeting room was packed by Pelinka for 1 week.

He was used to handle work and serve the bigwigs during his All-Star period, and of course, he had three or four assistants.

In addition to Li Forest, Pelinka's Kobe Bryant is the top card of this All-Star, and as an agent, he must always be ready to deal with all kinds of emergencies.

Of course, Li Linlin's endorsement is also the focus of his work this week.

After hearing Pelinka's question.

"Huh? How much? ”

Li Linlin also asked very curiously.

Li Linlin believes in the professionalism of Pelinka's agent, and the matter of sneaker endorsement has been entrusted to him, and Li Linlin does not need to participate in the whole process of communication, Li Linlin only needs to listen to his final negotiation results, and wait for him to make a decision and choice.

"Nike is $70 million for 6 years, plus bonuses, and if you get it, you can get it up to $100 million, and there are no signed sneakers."

"Adidas has 10 years and 100 million US dollars, plus bonuses of about 130 million. No signature sneakers"

"Lee, the two of them are in the conference room next door to us, as long as you decide, we can sign the agreement immediately."

Pelinka exclaimed excitedly.

Li Forest was not carried away by the huge numbers.

He asked very calmly:

"What's your opinion? Pelinka. ”

"Adidas, they have a bigger amount, they have longer contracts, and they are more secure in the absence of signed shoes." Pelinka was excited.

100 million dollars. As long as Li Forest signs, there is a lot of achievement here.

Lin Yuner was also frightened when she heard the two endorsement amounts, both of which were endorsement contracts worth 100 million US dollars, which was the first time she witnessed the most important decision made by her closest people, involving hundreds of millions of dollars, or US dollars.

So, she stared at Li Linlin with beautiful eyes, and admired Li Linlin even more, he was only 22 years old, no matter which one he signed, he would become a billionaire.

Lee Forest did not refute Pelinka's opinion.

He has his eye on Nike, which has a shorter contract.

In addition, Nike's influence in the NBA has actually surpassed Adidas, and the competition for many awards in the NBA is actually the competition of brands, and Adidas lags behind Nike a lot.

After thinking for a while, Li Linlin said:

"Pelinka, sign Nike, and in six years, they're going to send a bigger signed shoe contract."

Lee Forest told Pelinka of his final decision.

Pelinka did not express any dissatisfaction with Li Linlin's decision not to adopt his opinion, this is the big boss, Li Linlin's maturity is far from being comparable to other rookies, Pelinka believes that Li Linlin has considered this matter, and today is just a signing and determining the amount.

Li Forest doesn't look like a 22-year-old at all.

"Okay, then we'll go to Nike's office."

…………

Then the three of them came out of the conference room and walked into another large conference room next door.

Several Nike executives have been waiting here for a long time.

There are no politeness on both sides, there have been many encounters at the negotiating table, and now is the most tense moment, just waiting for this person to make his own decision.

Li Forest picked up the contract they had prepared, looked at it, and looked at the number with a string of zeros, which was also very exciting, hearing and seeing this number are completely different things.

There is nothing too harsh about the terms of the contract, there are many reward clauses and obligations that need to be fulfilled, in short, when Li Forest signs it, he can't wear sneakers indiscriminately.

Li Linlin didn't look at it for long, and then picked up the pen on the table.

At the check-in office, he signed his name.

After signing this contract.

It also means that Li Forest has become the person with the highest sneaker endorsement fee among this year's rookies.

Li Linlin doesn't have much to ask for money now, so it's nothing after the shock.

See him finish signing.

Pelinka and several Nike executives finally breathed a sigh of relief, they had been playing at the negotiating table for so long, and today finally drew an end to this contract renewal.

Lin Yun'er's heart was beating fast when she watched Li Forest sign, and she felt that all this was so unreal.

A hundred million dollars.

How many years do they have to earn when they are girls?

This is just one of Li Linlin's endorsement contracts.

Is this really his "boyfriend"? She clutched her chest.

…………

Now in addition to James and Kobe, Nike has more Li Forest on the potential new star.

In the future, when Li Forest grows up, Adidas' status will further decline.

Watch things settle.

Pelinka also opened the champagne in her hand......

"Oh, Lee, congratulations on becoming a billionaire."

"Alright, let's forget all the unhappiness for a while, Lee, beautiful lady, and I wish you all a wonderful All-Star Weekend, Pelinka, Lee, happy cooperation!"

At the scene, a vice president of Nike looked at Li Forest and said to Lin Yuner.

Then everyone raised the champagne in their hands.

"Now that you're the boss, Li and I are both part-time workers, haha"

Pelinka laughed.

"You're going to send me a bigger contract in the future, haha"

Li Linlin also raised his glass.

"Well, wait and see, cheers, happy cooperation."

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass.
