Chapter 219: Kobe Bryant Becomes Coach, Lin Sen Changes Plan [Yesterday's Third Update]
No matter what the outside world evaluated, Lin Sen, as the party concerned, was unmoved, and first met Chris under the official arrangement of the NBA. Paul, Delon. Williams, Arenas, Tony. Parker went to participate in the NBA Cares organized by the NBA in Las Vegas.
Later, Lin Sen and Maddie, Dwight. Howard, Tim. Duncan, Kevin. Garnett, Billups, and Arenas participated in an interactive fan event organized by Adidas.
After the event, Adidas held a press conference for the seven of them, and for the first time, they unveiled their all-star custom sneakers together.
From the afternoon of February 15th to the evening of February 17th, Adidas opened All-Star Customized Edition pre-orders and limited orders in stores in Central America, Latin America, European Union countries and Asia, China, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and the Philippines from the original United States and Canada, and the sales of Linsen's legendary generation have shown explosive growth.
In just 33 hours, spot and pre-order sales directly exceeded $10 million.
The terrifying sales strengthened Adidas' hope of leaving Lin Sen, and on the morning of February 17, the president of Adidas contacted David. Falck tried to modify Linson's five-year, $70 million contract.
But David. Falck did not directly agree that David. Falck never thought that Linsen's first-generation sneakers would be sold so hot, and just before the president of Adidas contacted him, Nike also contacted him.
David. Falck vaguely hinted that Adidas' contract damages for Linson were not very high, which piqued the interest of Nike executives.
Right here in David. Falck is planning Linson's bright future at Adidas. All-Star Weekend has officially kicked off.
Nestled at the eastern end of the bustling Las Vegas Strip, the Mandela Bay Hotel is where the NBA method arranges for players to stay.
The Mandela Bay Hotel is also the venue for this year's NBA Fan Carnival. Lin Sen looked at the main entrance of the European-style hotel. The door is pasted with a Chinese Spring Festival in gold characters on a red background.
"Firecrackers remove the old year, peach charm ten thousand households renew the year", "spring is full of blessings in the world, and the days increase the years and people increase their longevity".
Walking into the palatial lobby, lanterns of different shapes are written in Chinese with blessings such as "Happy New Year" and "Wishing you prosperity".
"That's good!" Lin Sen didn't expect to feel such a strong Spring Festival atmosphere in Las Vegas, which made Lin Sen feel warm.
"Hey, Wood, you're finally back, it's time for us to go." Dwight. Howard said, hugging Lin Sen.
"Wood. Are you going to watch your teammates slaughtered by us tonight? "Delong. Williams said with a smile.
"What are you talking about? Do you expect this guy Wood to change the situation where they were slaughtered by us tonight? Wood, as a buddy, I still advise you not to go, lest you lose face, of course, if you are willing to invite me to have a good time for a few days, I will consider relaxing a little bit with you rookies. "Chris. Paul looked smug.
", it's you!" Lin Sen glared at Delon and Paul, but he knew in his heart that the strength of the first-year team was indeed far inferior to that of the second-year.
Although the 2006 edition had him and Brandon. Roy, but is still recognized by the media as the worst quality draft in recent years, and in 2005, Delon, Paul, Felton point guard triumvirate, and Andrew Brown. Bogut, Andrew. A center forward with a lot of potential like Bayram.
"If Wood. . . Lin really doesn't fight, so I really can't find where is the hope of the first grade? ESPN expert Hollinger said on his Twitter.
As Hollinger said. This first- and second-year challenge was judged by the media to be a tedious slaughter long before the competition.
Mike. Profound. Colen, Wizards head coach Eddie Brown. Jordan's head assistant coach. He was the head coach of tonight's first-year team.
Mark. Avaloni, Suns head coach De Varoni. Anthony's head assistant coach, who served as the head coach of the sophomore team tonight.
Before the game, the two sides did not have a joint practice, so two hours before the game, both sides took a bus to the venue where the All-Star Weekend game was held, Thomas. Mark Center.
Thomas. The Mark Center is the sports heart of Las Vegas, the entertainment city, and when the first- and second-year players arrive at the stadium, Thomas Brown. There were already a lot of fans in the crowd at the Mark Center, and it was a full two hours before the start of the game.
The first-year dressing room is in the away team's dressing room, and the second-year dressing room is in the home team's dressing room.
Syllable!
Syllable!
Push away Mike in the locker room. Coren clapped his palms: "Rookies, let me see if you're all here." ”
"Well, everybody's here, first-year rookies have two hours left for your All-Star weekend off the court, enjoy it, and I don't have anything else to set up, if Bryant doesn't have one."
As soon as Coren finished speaking, Kobe. Bryant walked in, and there was a cry of surprise in the locker room, although they all knew that there was an assistant coach in the first and second grades, and the assistant coach was usually a superstar, but before that, everyone didn't know that this person would be Kobe. Bryant.
"You guys are surprised, and to be honest, I hated my luck at first, because I got you rookies." Kobe's eyes swept over everyone in the locker room, and Zuihou stayed on Blanton, who was sitting together. Roy and Linson.
Kobe's words made the people in the locker room a little depressed, but everyone had to admit that what Kobe Bryant said was a fact.
"But I don't think so now, maybe you can surprise me, I don't like to fail, and it's the same with coaching, but I just want to do my best considering your quality." Bryant clapped his hands, "And don't forget to enjoy your moments." ”
The assistant coach of the sophomore is the big general Arenas, who is joking with the second-year players, and no one thinks that the sophomore will lose to the first-year rookie.
"Wood. You're not going to play tonight, are you? Bryant walked up to Linson.
"Press Jihua, yes." Lin Sen said as he met Kobe's gaze.
Kobe Bryant laughed: "Then you mean you can not follow Jihua tonight, right?" ”
Lin Sen shrugged: "It can be understood like this. ”
"Can I know what changed your Jihua?"
"I don't like to fail either!"
"Good. But I won't put you on the pitch at first. ”
"No problem." Lin Sen nodded. Before that, David. Falke and he have long agreed that they will not play in tonight's rookie game and announce it to the public early, which has caused many fans who booked tickets in advance to choose to sell their tickets.
"First of all, I declare that I don't discriminate against the rookie game, and then I want to say weishenme we can't beat TNT to grab the right to broadcast the main event? As good as it feels to be a spectator, that's not what I want. "Bill. Wharton appeared in front of the television with a grumbling face.
"Hey, Bill, be content, we're lucky enough to be in Las Vegas too. The little ones in the first and second years are going to play. Hoffman said with a smile.
Brandon. Roy was first in the first grade, while Lin Sen was placed on the team by Kobe Bryant.
Amid the hoarse shouts of the DJ on the spot, the first-year players took the lead one by one.
"Let's welcome with crazy applause and cheers, super ...... Super...... Rookie, tomorrow's superstar...... Wood ...... Forest...... Lin ......"
Hearing the sound of the live DJ Lin Sen trotted out, Thomas. The cheers at the Mark Center were at their peak.
Even the cheers of the second-year players when they came out were far less than Lin Sen's, and Paul poked DeLong next to him: "That guy." ”
"Actually, you're pretty good-looking." Delon whispered.
"Forget it, it's not as good as that guy's popularity."
After American singer-songwriter Tiffanygiardina sang the national anthem, the Rookie Challenge officially began.
"Wood didn't make it to the first-year starting line-up, which was Brandon from Portland. Roy. The only one to Wood. Lin's best rookie impactful rookie, Memphis' Rudy. Gay, Jordan of Los Angeles. Famar, Charlotte's Adam. Morrison, and the handsome Italian Bagnani who was selected with the first pick. ”
Hoffman looked at the list in his hand and said, "The second-year starter is Delon of the Utah Jazz. Williams, Houston Rockets' Luther. Hyde, Indiana Pacers' Granger, and the New York Knicks' David Anderson. Lee and Andrew of the Milwaukee Bucks. Boggart, CP3 also did not appear in the starting lineup. Was this specially arranged by Coach LeBron? ”
Lin Sen didn't expect Paul to sit on the bench, but he knew that Paul would definitely play and Paul definitely didn't know that he would, thinking of Paul Delon's surprised expression when he played, Lin Sen wanted to laugh.
"Wood is missing. The brotherly duel between Lin and CP3 always made me feel like something was missing, and I wasn't even in the mood to track the gossip on the sidelines. "Bill. Wharton looked at Hoffman, "Actually, Beyoncé is not bad. ”
Hoffman had a black line: "Bill, are you infected by that Charles guy?" The haode race begins. ”
Bogut and Bagnani jump the ball, and Bogut easily dials the ball to Delon.
DeLong drove the ball forward and made a direct pass to David, who cut in from the high post. Lee in the hand, David. Lee made an easy layup.
'David opened the scoring and even though there was little defence on both sides, I still have to give a thumbs up to Delon's awesome passing. Hoffman said with a smile.
As predicted by the media, the first-year rookie was too bad, returning to the offensive end Morrison missed a shot, and the second-year quick counterattack, David. Lee picks up Luther. Hyde's pass went straight to an aerial relay dunk.
Thomas. There was a round of applause at the Mark Center, and then the first-year rookies still looked a little reserved, repeatedly missing shots, while the second-year students made all four shots.
"Are the first-year rookies practicing ironwork?" Bill. Wharton said, looking at the field.
Morrison got an open shot on the left side, but missed the shot, Guy grabbed the frontcourt rebound and missed the basket, Morrison rushed to the basket and grabbed the offensive rebound again to make up for the ball.
"Thankfully the score, the first graders hit their first shot after blatantly brushing the frontcourt rebound under the gaze of the sophomores, and I saw that Bryant's brow was about to furrow, and he seemed to be in conflict with Wood. What did Lin say, did Wood want to play? Hoffman said, looking at the first-year bench. (To be continued......)
