Chapter 277: Heavenly Privilege

Just when the news of Lin Sen's best rookie was transmitted back to the other side of the ocean, Li Wei said goodbye to a man wearing glasses with a bad face, Chen Cong, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency in New York, saw this scene and recorded it, and when he went back, he found that the man who Li Wei, the chairman of the Basketball Association, sent goodbye was Huo Zhenting, the current head of the Huo family.

As a reporter, he naturally knows how enthusiastic the Huo family is about sports, if there is no Huo family, maybe Huaxia will not be able to become the host country of the Olympic Games, and from the content of the photos he took, Li Wei's face is not good, and he also knows that Li Wei came to the United States to help the Chinese men's basketball team recruit Lin Sen of the Orlando Magic, the Chinese player who has just won the NBA Best Rookie and conquered countless fans.

"Could it be that Lin Sen refused the country's call?" Chen Cong thought so, thinking of this, he felt the need to contact some head Li Wei.

"Wang Lin, I don't know what the situation is between you and him, but there are some things I still have to say." Li Wei said on the phone, after coming to New York, this Wang Lin left his side by meeting with his old classmates, and a few days ago, Lin Sen's agent politely refused his invitation again, such a change of attitude surprised Li Wei, although at first Lin Sen did not agree to join the Chinese nationality but did not directly refuse, after repeatedly asking the reason, David. Falck vaguely told him that because some leaders could not see the future of the Chinese men's basketball team, he also revealed that some people had violated Lin Sen's bottom line.

Wang Lin immediately thought that Lin Sen's guy had poked out what happened that day, but although he was stupid, he was not stupid enough to be that stupid: "Chairman Li, I don't know what you mean. ”

"Good. Good. Good. You don't know, you don't know, all I can tell you now is that Lin Sen basically rejected us, and the one we looked for before from Harvard. Lin and Derek, Washington State. Rodo didn't want to give up his American citizenship, so we didn't get anything out of our trip to the United States. Li Wei hung up the phone angrily.

Wang Lin on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment and then scoffed: "If you don't get anything, you won't get anything, if he dares to join me and kill him, damn the one who dares to take me." For a rice bucket like Wang Lin, he doesn't care about the so-called political achievements, and he doesn't believe that a Lin Sen can change anything.

Huo Zhenting, who returned to the hotel, was also very satisfied with his conversation with Li Wei. Although he essentially hopes that Lin Sen will join the Huaxia men's basketball team, after all, the Chinese men's basketball team in Asia is at the top level, but after meeting Lin Sen that day, he suddenly burst into his mind at night after that idea, he began to try to see if there was a possibility of implementing this matter, and tonight's meeting with Li Wei was a relatively satisfactory answer, what he has to do now is to persuade some people in Huaxia to agree to help him operate, otherwise his Jihua will be in vain.

Of course, these prerequisites were all after communicating with Li Wei, and almost one night Huo Zhenting was supported, of course, he paid a lot of price for this, and after obtaining the consent of the relevant departments in the mainland, Huo Zhenting immediately arranged for the plane to fly back to Hong Kong at 5 o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Junhui, one of the top reporters for Hong Kong's Oriental Daily, needs to interview Tsang Yinquan, who is in office until June 30. I wanted to ask Zeng Yinquan what he thought about his re-election, but not long after he arrived, he found that Fok Zhenting had entered the Hong Kong Government Headquarters. However, it is still normal for a family of this level of the Huo family to meet the chief executive, so Jiang Junhui did not take it to heart but entered the reception room and waited.

At this time, Huo Zhenting was talking with Zeng Yinquan in the chief executive's office, Zeng Yinquan did not expect Huo Zhenting to bring him such news, Zeng Yinquan naturally knew that it might be a good way to change the people's attention in such a way when the economy continues to be sluggish and the Hong Kong-independence atmosphere is getting heavier and heavier, and it is likely to stimulate the vitality of the people instead of blindly staying in complaining.

"If it can really be done, I fully support it, 'import mainland talent jihua' at any time to open the door for this matter, I don't think anyone will disagree, I will hold a meeting in the afternoon, you can rest assured to do it, everything here has me." Zeng Yinquan said with a smile, things in Hong Kong are also giving him a headache now, there are too many facts such as sports changing the social situation, Huo Zhenting's proposal is undoubtedly good news.

Receiving a clear answer, Huo Zhenting felt that he had taken the first step in the Long March, but he believed that as long as he paved the road ahead within this month, then everything was possible, of course, he wanted to pave the road with the help of Lin Sen's idea, Huo Zhenting, who was still in Hong Kong in the morning, flew to Orlando in the afternoon.

"What, Mr. Huo, are you sure you're not joking?" Lin Sen couldn't believe Huo Zhenting in front of him at all, and Lin Sen couldn't believe that Huo Zhenting invited him to join the Hong Kong team.

Huo Zhenting smiled: "I know this is a little crazy, but I think I didn't lie to you, I sincerely invited you to join Hong Kong, of course I know that the United States has a lot of ideas for you to join the American team, with all due respect, what position do you think you will be in when you join the American team?" Is better than Kobe than James than Wade? ”

"At least not for now."

"I would even say that you can't do it in your whole career, even if you're good enough to be the number one, but you're always a yellow-skinned person for the United States, and they won't make you their hero and they won't lose the competitiveness they deserve because you're missing you......"

"But Mr. Huo, then you let me join Hong Kong, I'm sorry, I might as well join Huaxia, at least Huaxia is at the top in Asia, at least Da Yao has the UAE and has rough, their original strength can almost fight for a top eight, and their weakness lies in the back line, I believe I have the ability to change them."

"But you don't want to join Huaxia, do you? I knew your thoughts that day, I am very patriotic, but I also know some national conditions, just like I am looking for you, I have paved the way, you first return to Chinese nationality, and then we will use imported mainland talents to introduce you, so that you can permanently obtain the right of abode in Hong Kong. ”

Lin Sen listened to Huo Zhenting's words, at least at this convenience, he still felt that Huo Zhenting was valued by such a highly respected person, but he was grateful and appreciated: "Mr. Huo, I am grateful for your attention to me, but do you think I am strong enough to be able to hold Hong Kong basketball for a hundred years?" To put it mildly, even Jordan couldn't do that. ”

Huo Zhenting was not angry at all. There was a confident expression on his face: "Lin Sen, I know what you think. Do you think that I brought you into the Hong Kong team just to raise the profile of Hong Kong basketball? I've done a lot of work. Before I got in touch with you, my assistant had already gotten a lot of players with Chinese ancestry, and although the information was not complete, there were still a lot of them.

For example, some time ago, Chairman Huaxia Li contacted Jeremy. Lin and that Derek. Luo and I have already been approved by them, of course, provided that you can join the Hong Kong men's basketball team, not only them but also a West Virginia State University player Joe. Alexander, who was named the next NBA hopeful.

And I also hired scouts to inspect him, his physical fitness is at the top level, the key is that because he has lived in China for seven years and his mother is still Taiwanese, he can choose to join the Chinese men's basketball team, but I can't handle him at the moment. I think so, if you come forward. ”

Saying that, Huo Zhenting pushed the document in his hand in front of Lin Sen.

The first two people Huo Zhenting said Lin Sen had heard of and watched their game recently. Lin was still very immature, but he felt pretty good, and that Derek. Luo is much more mature, as for that Joe. Alexander Linson has not heard of it.

"Building a team jihua book?" Lin Sen read the name of the cover of the folder and opened the cover, the first one was a page that belonged to him, and the top of the second page said Naturalization, but there were only these two Chinese characters on the whole page, and the third page was that Qiao. Alexander, gave a detailed account of the man's family background as well as jishu's analysis and future prospects.

The fourth page is the Harvard kid Jeremy. Forest. On the fifth page, it's the Derek. Luo, but the most surprising thing is that on page 6 there is Mike. Bibby's introduction.

"Maternal grandmother Chinese?" Lin Sen looked at Bibi's family relationship chart in surprise. However, it was introduced later that Bibby had no possibility of representing Hong Kong because he had represented the United States in the Olympic trials, and seeing this, Lin Sen couldn't help but secretly despise Huo Zhenting, and it was impossible to write it, and Lin Sen found out at this time that he was interested in joining Hong Kong.

"Samir. High? Lin Sen almost couldn't believe it, because the data of this Chinese American introduced on page 7 was so shocking to Lin Sen.

This one is called Samir. Gao's Chinese player is named Gao Kun, is a sophomore at NCAA Division III Forward Baptist Bible College, born in 1987, his mother is Chinese, his father is black American, and his height is 2.08, playing power forward averages 24 points per game while contributing 18 rebounds and 5 blocks, but what is also shocking is that this guy averages as many as 5 fouls per game, and plays less than 30 minutes per game, and Lin Sen looks at this guy's shooting rate of a terrifying 68%.

Keep looking, it turns out this Samir. Gao's physical fitness is too high, and the vertical bounce is a full one meter, so Lin Sen can also understand that Weishenme, a player, has played such terrifying statistics in the third league.

Then there were some introductions, but not too good, after the introduction of these Chinese players, there were some CBA Chinese players introduced by jihua, and then the basic introduction of the Hong Kong team, and zuihou left a few pages with the coaching staff written on it.

"Done?"

Lin Sen nodded: "After reading it, to be honest, at least I saw sincerity in this rush, but there is still a big difference between sincerity and prospects." ”

For Lin Sen, it is simply unrealistic to ask him for patriotic sentiments, Huo Zhenting also knows this, but he knows that although Lin Sen looks like a sunny and handsome boy, he has an extreme desire for victory in his heart, so he decided to take advantage of this.

"To be honest, this jihua book has a lot of shortcomings, especially the convenience of the players, our original player ability is really not good, Song Fang and Luo Yiting are the players we can come up with, after all, most of them are amateurs, but our introduction of jihua is not over, even if the top lineup of this list you don't have the confidence to lead Hong Kong, which has no naturalized players, to break into the top three in the Asian Championships in the summer, this Chinese team because the Olympic host only sends young players to practice, the champion can qualify for next year's Olympics, The second and third can participate in the unqualified tournament. ”

"Yes!" Lin Sen's tone was confident.

"Wouldn't that be fine, what if we naturalized a real superstar?" Huo Zhenting's words surprised Lin Sen.

"Superstar?"

"Yes, superstar, the FIBA rules are there. Only one player who is not within the scope of Jihua is allowed to be naturalized. Then since we want to make a difference, weishenme non-naturalized superstar. As hard as it will be, we will show sincerity, and I can assure you in the name of the Huo family that we will give you a superstar before the Olympics next year. ”

Huo Zhenting's guarantee made Lin Sen stunned, the name of the Huo family is not a joke, but Lin Sen still doesn't believe that he can naturalize a superstar, but even if he is not a superstar, it is a huge help for Lin Sen.

"I think it's more meaningful for you to be a rival against the United States than to be a teammate, right? And one more thing you probably don't like to hear, no matter how you go you are just like us, yellow skin. You are the pride of countless Chinese people, even if you yourself don't want to represent it, but this is a fact. ”

For Huo Zhenting's words, Lin Sen has to admit that he has experienced this since he was in college, and he has experienced it vividly in the NBA, no matter where he goes, he can see local Chinese and international students cheering for him, and even many people have put down their jobs and even traveled thousands of miles.

"You acquiesced, didn't you? Rest assured, I won't embarrass you, I respect your choice, although I would love to have you join the Hong Kong team, and you have the right to decide on the naturalized players and coaches, including the other players. Huo Zhenting's words undoubtedly gave Lin Sen a great privilege.

"Mr. Huo. To be honest, I'm very impressed. Lin Sen spoke his mind.

Huo Zhenting laughed when he heard Lin Sen's words: "That's good, as long as your heart is moving, then everything is possible." There are still about three months before the start of the Asian Championships, and we hope to improve the team as much as possible before that, of course, we will not ask Yao Ming to ask you to give you more freedom, and we can write this into the contract at that time, of course, this premise is still based on your consent. ”

When Huo Zhenting left his house, Lin Sen was still in shock and couldn't extricate himself, Carolina looked at Lin Sen who was thinking and knew what the man had just said that moved him.

"Dinner?" Lin Sen didn't know how long he had been thinking about it, and he only came back from his thoughts when he smelled the aroma of vegetables.

"yes, it's time to eat, I thought you weren't going to eat tonight." Carolina said with a smile.

After dinner, Lin Sen watched the Bulls' game highlights for a while and lay down on the bed, thinking about what Huo Zhenting said in addition to thinking about Stan. Van Gundy said that while the Magic have a deep capital of $20 million this summer, that premise is built on Grant. Hill and Milicic don't renew their contracts, and it's based on Howard and he both being on rookie contracts.

Of course, his own contract is only the first year, and it will not affect anything, but Howard is different, this summer the Magic will definitely renew his contract, and I heard that Howard is asking for a maximum salary, so this offseason 20 million and then renew Hill and Milicic, there will be about 10 million, plus Howard's annual salary of at least 15 million next year, then the Magic is destined to pay the luxury tax, plus his contract in the future, the luxury tax will be terrifying.

Although it is nothing that the big boss makes a decision and pays the luxury tax, Otis. Smith must still be in line with the principle of not paying if he can, so who can be signed for 10 million, one by one the ball rights came to Lin Sen's mind.

Chauncey. Billups?

Linson shook his head, Billups is a player he likes very much, a seriously underrated player, a player who can help the team achieve immediate results, but Billups' arrival even if he plays double point guard with the two of him will affect his status somewhat, and selfishly Linson does not want the team to sign Billups.

Arenas?

Lin Sen still remembers the scene of the first time he fought Arenas, but he knew Arenas' character better, so there was no need for Lin Sen to say that Arenas would not accept the olive branch of magic.

Vince. Carter?

Lin Sen could believe that he would come to Magic, not to mention that Lin Sen didn't believe that Carter was willing to come and give him a hand, if he wanted, Lin Sen didn't mind, but Lin Sen thought about it with his toes and knew that it was impossible for Carter to come.

Anderson. Valejo?

If the Magic renews Milicic, then Vallejo will be redundant, unless Vallejo is willing to lower his price to Magic, not to mention that James definitely does not want Vallejo to be poached by the Magic.

In addition to that, Linson thought of the Argentine player he had just seen on the Bulls. Nochioni and Gerrard of the Bobcats. Wallace, both of whom are needed by the Magic if they want to get one step closer, Gerald. Wallace is the core of the Bobcats and Nochioni is an important player for the team, although Gerrard is the core of the team. Wallace is the centerpiece, but Jordan's pick doesn't necessarily give him much of a contract if the team can get Nochioni or Gerrard. Wallace then the core of the defense that connects the inside and outside lines can be settled, and Linson thinks about it and can suggest that Stan. Van Gundy tried.

Thinking about the bright future of the Magic and then thinking about the possibility of fighting against the American team, Lin Sen slowly became sleepy, and finally Lin Sen didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already the next morning.

At this time, the "Xinhua News Agency" reporter Chen Cong in New York, the United States, "Lin Sen has no chance to China" news has caused a crazy discussion on the other side of the ocean, almost at the same time Hong Kong Director of Leisure and Cultural Services Zhou Daming announced that a large number of sports will be implemented in a certain sports "import of mainland talents jihua", which triggered a wide discussion between Hong Kong reporters and the public, and then the "Sun" reporter Zhao Xueqian expressed his views in the "Sun", that is, the Chinese player Wood who is thriving in the United States. Lin is likely to be the main candidate for Zhou Daming's Jihua.

The news sparked heated discussions among Hong Kong residents and was even transmitted back to China, while Lin Sen on the other side of the Pacific Ocean had already drilled into the stadium to start training. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: I nakedly exposed my bad cards, and I haven't seen a basketball novel in this football novel in Hong Kong, because the rules of the basketball league are too complicated, since I have chosen, I will do it to the end!

If you are interested, you can guess who the naturalized big name might be? There are also members of the coaching staff and CBA personnel, of course, if you don't like it, don't scold Xiao Ai and just jump and watch.

Now Xiao Ai has a physical examination in the Suzhou Internet café tomorrow morning, and will start working the day after tomorrow, painful!
