Chapter 420: Mid-term Transaction Plus Firewood [First Update]
Thank you JAM for the big monthly pass, and thank you for the big reward from the center! The first is to ask for a recommendation ticket!
――
This is not the first time that the term Wood Effect has appeared in the media, and when it first appeared, Lin Sen was just a rookie who had been playing for a month.
At that time, because Linsen's Twitter user registration grew at a crazy rate on November 24, it was this day that financial experts defined the phenomenon of Twitter's user surge as the "Wood effect".
This is also the first time that the Wood Effect was proposed, and the reality of the Wood Effect has been confirmed many times, and the term Wood Effect has also entered the classic business case of Harvard Business School more than half a year later.
Today, a year later, Lin Sen's influence has far exceeded that of the beginning, and neither the commercial value nor the ball skills can be compared with that of a rookie who has only played for a month.
This time, Forbes' ranking of the most profitable supermodels once again presents the Wood effect. Kokuva and Adriana. Lima both finished in the top 10 last year, but their earnings simply can't be compared to what they are now.
If Adriana says. Lima is not obvious, then Carolina is the most obvious example, with less work but more exposure, and the price of endorsements is even higher, which is unbelievable for a supermodel who needs to rely on non-stop catwalks to maintain exposure and popularity.
And Miranda. Kerr and Du Chen. Kolos only started the Victoria's Secret show last year, and although the growth rate is amazing, it is far from reaching the current point, especially Miranda. Kerr.
Despite the fact that the four people together and the first place Giselle. Bündchen still has a $1 million gap, but Forbes magazine also predicts that Carolina's income won't change much if she continues to work this year.
And has been transferred to Wood. Adriana, a subsidiary of Lin Company. Lima and the soon-to-be-transferred Miranda. The two of them will make money faster. At the same time, Du Chen. There is also a good chance that Kolos will reach $10 million in revenue next year.
Forbes is even more bold in predicting Giselle. Bündchen's top position in terms of revenue for four consecutive years is likely to change hands next year or the year after.
Everyone knows who the most critical figure in their rise is. But Lin Sen didn't pay attention to this. When he knew, it was still a reporter's question.
After coming to Milwaukee, Yi Jianlian invited Lin Sen to do the east, and Lin Sen also told Yi Jianlian some of his own Jianyi.
As for whether Yi Jianlian listens to it or not, it's his own business, although Lin Sen only entered the NBA one year ahead of him, but the status of the two is completely incomparable.
Even in Milwaukee, Linson's popularity far surpassed him, not to mention that he refused to join the Bucks at the instigation of Fagan after the draft, and even now that he has joined the Bucks, Linson knows how many fans his words broke the hearts of fans.
The disparity between the two sides in this game is huge, although Lin Sen is not as crazy as the last game. But in just 24 minutes played, he scored 26 points while dished out 11 assists to help the Magic beat the Bucks.
Yi Jianlian scored 12 points under the Magic's defense, which looked good, but except for a rebound, the other 10 points were all scored from the outside.
"Wood, can you tell us about the upcoming All-Star Game? If nothing else, you will be selected as the king of votes, do you have any ideas this time? How about an All-Star MVP? ”
"Is it true that Wood has rumors that you're going to be selected for this year's slam dunk contest?"
"Last year, there seemed to be a conflict between you and LeBron, who directly led to the loss in the East, do you have any thoughts this year? And you've already used the child and are about to have a second child, will you use the MVP trophy as a gift for the children? ”
……
Although it was an away game, Lin Sen was still surrounded by reporters slowly.
Lin Sen wiped his wet hair: "If Chris wants to, I definitely won't want to, but that's his territory." As a good buddy, I'll focus on his ideas, and I can't give you an answer to the slam dunk contest. Maybe you can ask Dwight. ”
"Someone has officially revealed that you will participate in the slam dunk contest, is it because you don't want to participate or have you not received an invitation?"
The reporters asked unwillingly, they wanted to know if Lin Sen would participate in the slam dunk contest, after all, the dunk contest has been worse every year in recent years, and in the game, Lin Sen showed extraordinary dunk strength and was a topic of conversation. Stern also wanted Linson to participate.
And in fact long before the start of the season, David. Stern and Linson's agent David. Falck entered into a cooperation agreement.
However, Lin Sen's sponsorship will not reveal the news that he will participate in the slam dunk contest, and the outside world is just a rumor.
When the Orlando Magic left Milwaukee for the Windy City of Chicago, where their next opponent, the Chicago Bulls, was located, the league officially announced the starting roster for the 2008 New Orleans All-Star Game.
The Houston Rockets Yao Ming was named the starting center in the Western Conference for the sixth consecutive year, and he received a total of 1709180 votes, a full 710211 more votes than the Suns Stoudemire in second place in the West.
However, Yao Ming was not the player with the most votes in this year's All-Star vote, and he did not even make it to the top three in the West.
In each of the first four rounds of this year's All-Star Games, the leader was Linson, and the lead was expanded in each round since the first round.
When it was finally announced, Lin Sen received 3,455,301 votes, which far exceeded Yao Ming's all-time record of 2,558,278 votes set in 2005.
After all, Lin Sen exceeded the record not by one and a half stars, but by almost one million votes, how could such a crazy advantage not make people feel crazy.
In second place in the league is Kevin, who joined the Boston Celtics in the offseason with a big trade. Garnett, Linson's big brother, became very popular after joining the Celtics, and he ended up second in the league with 2,399,148 votes. And this result is already the seventh highest in the history of NBA All-Star voting.
In third place is still from the east. It's the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron. James. In the end, he voted 2,108,831, and he and Garnett became the starting candidates for the Eastern Conference Forward.
As for the center position in the East, Dwight, who could only be selected as a substitute last year. Howard defeated Shaquille by an overwhelming margin this year. O'Neill, 2,066,991 votes, more than double O'Neal's 965,171 votes!
What's more, the votes of Linson, Garnett, James, and Howard occupy the top four All-Star votes this year, and the top four are also from the same division, which is the first time in NBA All-Star voting history.
Although the Heat have the lowest record this season, the star Dwyan. Wade was also plagued by injuries but still received 1,608,260 votes. That vote made him a starter on the Eastern Conference guard line along with Linson.
And the highest number of votes in the West is Kobe Bryant of the Lakers. Bryant, who finished fifth in the league with a total of 2,004,940 votes.
In second place in the West is the Nuggets' Cameron. Anthony, who has been in excellent form this season, has a final vote of 1,723,701 votes, while the other starting forward in the West, San Antonio Spurs. Duncan, although Duncan failed to win the Finals MVP in the Finals last year, he still led the team to win the championship, and finally he got 1,712,800 votes, ranking second among Western Conference Forwards by a narrow margin.
In recent years, the most fierce competition for the All-Star starting position has been the Western Conference guard position, and this year is even more crazy. Iverson, Maddie and Steve. Nash between unfolds.
The final results showed that the difference in votes between Iverson, McGrady and Nash was not large, with Iverson surpassing McGrady as the starting point in the West with 1,203,152 votes.
And McGrady's total vote is 1,192,742, and he is only 10,410 votes less than Iverson.
The Suns' Nash ended up with 1,174,125 votes. He also had only 29,027 fewer votes than Iverson.
The release of the All-Star starting list in the East and West also means that other outstanding players can only compete for the bench position, and the guard position in the West is undoubtedly the most competitive. In addition to Kobe Bryant and Iverson securing starting positions, Maddy, Nash, host Chris. Paul, Delon. Williams, Tony. Parker, Barang. Davis, Ginobili, Blanton. Roy should be selected by anyone, but only three of these eight are destined to be selected.
As the host, Chris. Paul has been in excellent form this season, not only averaging 20 points per game plus 11 assists, but also leading the New Orleans Hornets to second place in the West, and his selection is almost unquestionable.
Last year's regular season MVP lost to Steve. Nash is still in excellent form this season and is likely to secure a spot, so only one of the remaining six can be selected.
"If I'm in the East, I'm going to be selected." Delong. Williams said a little depressed, although he knew that he would go to New Orleans, but after all, it always felt a little depressed not to go as an All-Star, not to mention that he had to compete with Paul for Amy's godfather.
"There must be a lot of teams willing to accept you when you come to the East, in fact, it's nothing, it's a big deal to make that guy Chris bleed, and Utah has such a good record, maybe it's you."
"Wood, come on, I don't know what my odds are yet, but I'll beat Chris that guy in heads-up to become Amy's godfather, I've got a name for the kid, a really great name, haha."
"Actually, Lindsay is about to give birth, and if you two lose, you can become the godfather of Lindsay's children." Lin Sen smiled into the phone and said, "But you can't say in front of your child that the loser becomes his godfather, that will affect the child's body and mind." ”
"Oh, Wood, you're a rookie dad, I'm not, do you think I'm going to know that? Anyway, in half a month, I'll sue him on his turf, even if I can't be selected as an All-Star, I'm better than him, haha. ”
Lin Sen looked at the phone and laughed, no matter what, the friendship between the three of them was not fake at all.
Looking outside the hotel, Lin Sen couldn't help but think of Amy and Lindsay. The child that is about to be born in Lohan's womb.
Since Amy scored 63 points as a gift for his child after he was born, he naturally can't favor one over the other.
Even though the child doesn't understand anything now, it doesn't mean that no one will tell them how biased his father is in the future.
On February 5, at the Chicago Union Center, Linson, the savior of Jordan, was not polite, and although he only scored 22 points in the game, he brushed up 19 assists and almost completed the terrifying double 20 count.
Milicic was the best man of the game, scoring a career-high 28 points on 13-of-14 shooting from the field, in addition to grabbing 15 rebounds. Wallace under the care of Dwight. Howard only had 12 points and six rebounds, which was a little dismal.
"It's him, I have Igoskas, if we have Ben again, then we can completely contain Orlando's inside advantage, as long as we contain their inside line, then it will be a lot easier." Danny. Ferry said as he watched the TV.
This game he focused on examining, from the beginning to the end, although Ben. Wallace wasn't as good as he used to be but defended one-on-one with Dwight. Howard's mid-table xiàn is extremely good and thoroughly makes Danny. Ferry was tempted.
Just as Linson stepped on the plane and flew back to Orlando, the San Antonio Spurs, who are still in excellent form this season as the defending champions, signed Damon Damon Murphy, who was bought out by the Memphis Grizzlies. Stoudemire.
Although the flying squirrel is a lot older and far from being a flying squirrel when he first came out of the league, he can still play a good role in the guard position for a limited time.
Since being bought out by the Grizzlies, many teams have thrown olive branches to him, but he didn't expect to be co-opted by the Spurs.
The Spurs were champions last year, and this year's roster signed Kurt after little changes to the core roster last season. Thomas and Antonio. McDace's two excellent interior players, McDis has been the team's starting center for a long time with the Spurs this season, averaging almost a double-double per game.
Plus Tim on the inside. Duncan and the original Oberto, the originally weak interior line was upgraded several times at once, and now the guard line has been added to Damon. Stoudemire is undoubtedly Tony. Parker made adjustments at the break.
Everyone knows that the Spurs don't take the regular season seriously, and now the Spurs roster has been strengthened again, which has also worried the giants of the East and West.
And the Spurs' seemingly small signing this time also adds a firewood to the boiling water of the mid-term trade. (To be continued......)
