Chapter 171 - Lin Yibin's Invitation
After waking up early the next morning, Li Yao came to the American Airlines Center arena again to assemble, because they were going to Charlotte for an away game today.
The Bobcats moved to New Orleans in 2002 with the approval of the NBA, and the Bobcats were officially named in June 2003.
The bobcats are carnivores found in the Carolinas, and Charlotte, who already had an NFL team, the Carolina Panthers, naturally chose a feline-related name for the newly established basketball team.
The Bobcats officially expanded their team on June 22, 2004, and due to the addition of the Bobcats, the NBA Major League teams officially reached 30, and there has been no change since.
And the Bobcats got the 2004 No. 1 pick through a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers, and selected NCAA championship center Emika from the University of Connecticut. Okafor, the rising star also lived up to the Bobcats' hopes that year with the last high school student champion Dwight. Howard won the 2005 NBA Rookie of the Year award in a strong match.
However, their debut season was a clear failure, and the Bobcats ended their debut season in the NBA with an 18-64 record.
However, this result is not a downside, because of the poor record, the Bobcats won the 5th and 13th draft picks in the 2005 NBA Draft, and they want to bring more potential stars to the team and increase the bargaining chips for the team's future.
The Bobcats took Raymond in one fell swoop. Felton, Sean. May's two players from the University of North Carolina also made North Carolina four young people a man of the hour.
While the team had a 10-20 record in the first two months, the Bobcats' second season wasn't great with Okafor's injury, with a 26-56 record that was slightly better than the previous season.
Then came the most classic scene, on June 15, 2006, Jordan, the god of basketball, bought part of the team's shares and became the team's second largest shareholder, and became the team's leader in basketball affairs.
Jordan also proved to the world here that he is the god of basketball when he plays, but in terms of the perspective of the draft, he Jordan is simply too misguided.
In Joe's gang leader succeeded in hand-picking Kwame. After Brown's 2001 No. 1 pick, he drafted Adam again after the Raptors selected Bagnani and the Bulls selected Aldridge in 2006. Morris, the scorer from Gonzag University.
In Joe's words, "We need to score, our team was able to play well in the first three quarters, but in the fourth quarter we needed a scorer to step up and shoot those winning shots for us, and that was Adam. Morris. ”
And most importantly, Gang Leader Joe also said, "What I value most is his desire for victory, which cannot be taught." ”
Maybe Joe helped lead in Adam. Morris saw in him the desire to win in the man who had just changed to No. 24 in Los Angeles.
But the truth must have disappointed Joe, Adam. Morris can indeed contribute some firepower, but compared to his rookie season average of nearly 30 minutes per game of 11.8 points and 2.1 assists, although it looks good, but Adam Morris is the No. 3 pick, so his contribution is not too qualified.
And those people behind him, if they can give Gang Leader Qiao another chance to do it again, I believe that Gang Leader Qiao will definitely regret it. Because in Adam. Behind Morris is Brandon. Roy, Rudy. Guy, J. Redick, Rajon Rondo, Kyle Lowry, Paul Millsap and many more.
But the ensuing '07 season became a nightmare for them, Adam. Morris's season reimbursement, as well as messages of conflict between players and coaches, left the Bobcats, confident of making the playoffs, ending up dismal with a 32-50 record.
But in 2008, on April 29 of this year, the Bobcats and Larry. Brown, the legendary coach, struck a deal and put him at the helm of the Bobcats.
Not only did he draft DJ Augustin with the ninth pick, but he also signed a new six-year, $72 million contract with Okafor, the team's first best rookie. Today's Bobcats are going to be the legendary coach Larry. Under Brown's command, he made a big move.
And today's Li Yao's opponent of the Heat is the Bobcats team that is trying to change, and Li Yao is also full of expectations for this opponent, although the Bobcats have not been very good, but they are often able to rely on the strength of young struggle to defeat strong teams, especially in this season by Larry. With Brown in charge, we believe they will be the first team to put pressure on the Heat's players in the new season, after all, the first two teams have no one on defense.
When the Heat generals landed in Charlotte on their special plane, as soon as they got off the plane, Li Yao received a call from his old brother Lin Yibin.
"Amazing, my brother, I didn't expect you to easily get the two younger siblings, when to teach my brother a few hands, and by the way, my brother will introduce you to some beauties as a reward." As soon as Li Yao answered the phone, Director Lin Yibin's slightly **** laughter came.
"Eh, brother, don't tease me, my little brother doesn't know what's going on, and besides, don't mention any more beauties, the two in the family are enough for me." When Li Yao heard Lin Yibin's words, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, this old brother actually wanted to introduce beautiful women to himself, it seemed that he didn't think his business was big enough.
"Okay, brother, I won't joke with you, my brother watched the news and found that the two younger siblings actually appeared at the American Airlines Center Arena at the same time, so I knew that you had settled the matter, so my brother took this opportunity to ask my brother for personal favors?" Director Lin Yibin just casually made a joke, but he didn't expect Li Yao to have such a big reaction, so he hurriedly stopped and talked about his intentions.
"Does my brother want to follow the popularity of my little brother and promote the start of filming of the new movie by the way?" Of course, Li Yao understands what the favor in the mouth of director Lin Yibin is meaningful, isn't this exactly what he thinks.
"Well, that's what it means, my brother won't mind, right?" Director Lin Yibin didn't expect that he hadn't brought it up yet, but he was the first to see through by Li Yao, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Of course I won't mind, after all, helping my brother promote the movie is what the younger brother should do, and this also allows your younger brothers and sisters to get publicity, how can the younger brother refuse?" Of course Li Yao wouldn't mind, he had this plan, but because the time of the game was a little tight, he planned to wait until the rest period after playing the Bobcats to discuss it with Brother Lin Yibin, who would have thought that he hadn't had time to call Director Lin Yibin, the old brother, and as a result, Director Lin Yibin actually made this proposal to himself first.
"With the words of my brother, my brother is really pleased, and my brother will arrange a press conference today." Director Lin Yibin didn't expect Li Yao to agree to his proposal so simply, and Li Yao's polite words also made Director Lin Yibin feel very comfortable.
"Absolutely." Li Yao was trying to let Director Lin Yibin's brother announce the news as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on his own news, but he didn't expect Brother Lin Yibin to rush in front of him again and said, Li Yao really felt that he was dozing Lin Yibin's brother came to deliver a pillow, what a good person.
"By the way, is my brother interested in participating in this movie?" Just when Director Lin Yibin was about to hang up the phone, Director Lin Yibin, who suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, immediately spoke.
"Clams? Brother, aren't you kidding me, let's not say that the NBA schedule on my brother's side is so rushed, I don't have time to help my brother, and my brother doesn't have any experience in acting, didn't my brother say that this play would become his own turnaround, and my brother didn't want to ruin my brother's hard work because of himself. As soon as Li Yao heard Director Lin Yibin's proposal of this old brother, he was immediately confused, how did this old brother remember to let him participate?
"Everyone started with no experience at the beginning, besides, the elder brother still wants to use the popularity of the elder brother, the elder brother will not refuse the elder brother even this little thing, in this case, the elder brother will be sad." Director Lin Yibin heard that Li Yao did not refuse his proposal, but considered himself, and his heart suddenly warmed, and he was more sure of his idea of wanting Li Yao to participate, after all, China is a super big market, coupled with Li Yao's current influence in China, how can Director Lin Yibin let Li Yao at least make a cameo in the play.
"Brother, let me think about it." Li Yao actually wants to star in this movie very much, after all, "Fast and Furious" 4 has the participation of his two girlfriends, and this movie is indeed very good, Li Yao will inevitably be a little excited.
"Okay, I'm waiting for the good news from my brother." Director Lin Yibin is not in a hurry, he is not worried that Li Yao will refuse him, after all, he and Gail. Gadot only succeeded through his own introduction, besides, it really can't be done, when the time comes, after Li Yao's two girlfriends enter the crew, let the two of them blow the wind on the pillow, he doesn't believe that Li Yao can still come.
"Well, goodbye, brother." Li Yao said goodbye to director Lin Yibin very politely.
"What's wrong? Why did you start to get distressed when you answered a phone call? Wade, who was not far away, found that Li Yao was frowning and bowing his head in contemplation, and he immediately came over and asked under curiosity.
"My brother asked me to participate in the movie, what should I do if I am an inexperienced novice." Li Yao is also very entangled at this time, I want to go, but I don't want to go, I want to go because I really like this movie, and I don't want to go because I'm afraid of ruining this movie, this is Lin Yibin's brother's turnaround.
"That's it?" Wade was a little crying and laughing, why did his little brother look so immature all day long in things other than basketball?
"Uh." Li Yao looked at Wade, who was speechless, and he was even more speechless, that's all? Can you not say it so easily?
"It's good if you just make a cameo, as long as you're not the starring actor, who cares about your acting skills, and you can help your brother improve a little topicality, why not?" Wade said with a pout.
"That's right." Li Yao suddenly realized, didn't Brother Lin Yibin say that the leading actors have been decided, at most he will make a cameo, so why bother himself here.
After figuring it out, Li Yao suddenly relaxed, so that Wade on the side couldn't help but glance at this little white.
