Thank you Da Pai and Ceying for your big reward!

――――

Breaking into the Finals, although it has become a reality, most of the Orlando Magic fans still can't believe it, because all this was once just an existence and fantasy for them, but happiness came so suddenly.

The city of Orlando went crazy because of this, and the mayor of Orlando even designated June 1, the day when the Orlando Magic defeated the Cavaliers to enter the finals, as Magic Day.

Because the promotion of the magic is something that no one expected, and now that the magic has been promoted, it is like creating a miracle, he hopes that this day can be remembered by the people of Orlando forever, and he hopes that Orlandodo will always know that creating a miracle will never give up.

The Magic's promotion has brought too many benefits to Orlando, and Linsen, who is the core of the team, has skyrocketed again because he led the team to the finals without being favored.

After all, leading the team to the Finals without being looked upon as a rookie as the team leader is very pitiful in the entire history of the NBA, and it is naturally greatly publicized in this era of information explosion.

Plus David. With Falck's intentional creation and the NBA league's god-making jihua, Lin Sen has become a superstar and even comparable to countless historical legends.

Especially David. Stern, originally he wanted LeBron. James and Linson fought against each of the best seven games, but the result did not go as he wanted, and the shortcomings of the Cavaliers lineup directly allowed the Magic to almost gain an upside down. Stern simply changed the propaganda program.

Will LeBron. James is promoted as a tragic hero who never gives up even if he loses, and he has shaped Lin Sen into a new legend, and both are undoubtedly David. A leader in Stern's New God Creation Movement.

In particular, Lin Sen's skin color and off-court make David. Stern was satisfied. On the other side of the ocean, China's attention to Lin Sen is rising.

Linsen's commercial value has increased exponentially. At this time, Adidas announced that it would establish the Linsen brand within two years. The Linsen Sports brand will be a subsidiary of Adidas, and it is not ruled out that it will slowly become a self-financing subsidiary with independent autonomy.

The news of this undoubtedly pushed Lin Sen to Michael again. In front of Jordan, everyone knows how hot Nike's Jordan brand is, and it is Michael who brings all this. Jordan, a rookie who just led the team to the Finals, was able to qualify for this qualification in the eyes of most people.

Even many experts openly criticized Adidas' senior management for thinking about money and going crazy, and the trapeze His Royal Highness, who was compared, said to reporters: "Of course, I can't interfere with their decisions, but I know how difficult it is to come this way, it's not a skin color, and it's not a finals that can make it all go naturally."

I hope they will succeed because competition is needed in any field, and there is no progress without competition. ”

Just when many people were envious, jealous and hated criticism, Adidas made public the report on the direct benefits that Lin Sen brought to Adidas.

It has only been three and a half months since Lin Sen's legendary generation was officially released at two o'clock in the afternoon on February 15. The pre-orders and sales exceeded 10 million within 33 hours of its release, and the legendary generation is still the hottest basketball shoe sold by Shijie.

In the report released by Adidas, the global sales of Lin Sen's legendary generation reached a terrifying 35 million in three and a half months, of which the women's custom version reached 15 million.

The sales of the Legend Generation All-Star Edition also reached 7 million, and the sales of the Legend 1.5 generation launched in the playoffs also reached 10 million in less than a month and a half, and as Lin Sen led the Magic to the finals, the playoff version soared by 2 million in the past two days.

The sneakers endorsed by Lin Sen alone brought 52 million to Adidas in just three and a half months, and as Lin Sen led the Magic to the finals, the head of Adidas is confident that the sales will reach 65 million before the new season, and such sales are only 7 million worse than the 2005-2006 annual sales of Jordan 21.

Although the economic situation this year has directly led to the growth of people's consumption, Adidas is full of confidence that the total sales of Linsen's signature shoes can rank among the top three sales of the year.

Combined with the launch of the Legend II next season, Adidas believes that the Linson sneaker alone will bring almost $100 million in sales to Adidas throughout 2007. Such a statistic undoubtedly makes the senior management of Adidas extremely excited.

Of course, one of the reasons is that Adidas launched a women's model, and Nike and Jordan also followed Lin Sen's lead and launched the corresponding women's model, but the actual sales are low, and it is completely incomparable with Lin Sen.

Except for sneakers. Linsen's customized sportswear and long and short T sleeves have brought considerable and even far more than expected sales to Adidas, and Linsen's signature version of the arm guards have reached a terrifying $4 million.

In addition to these intuitive sales figures, the brand value that Lin Sen brought to Adidas was immeasurable, and the release of this report directly stimulated the crazy rise of Adidas stock when he came.

At the same time, Adidas also had a relationship with David. Falck struck an agreement to pay $60 million for the upcoming Linson Sports to acquire Take-TwoInteractive's 2Kgames subsidiary.

THESE 60 MILLION WILL BE USED AS THE ADIDAS BRAND SPONSORSHIP FEE FOR ALL GAMES LAUNCHED BY 2KGAMES IN THE NEXT 3 YEARS, ALTHOUGH 2KGMES'S GAME DESIGN RUGBY, ICE HOCKEY, BASEBALL, BASKETBALL BOXING, ETC., BUT THE SALES HAVE NOT BEEN GOOD, ADIDAS TOOK OUT SO MUCH MONEY IS ALSO AN ADDITIONAL CONDITION FOR LINSON TO PROMISE TO RENEW ADIDAS.

Although the price is very large, Adidas gritted its teeth and agreed in order to be able to keep the cash cow of Lin Sen, and it turned out that Adidas' investment was worth it.

In addition to the 60 million paid by Adidas, Lin Sen will personally come up with 30 million, and Carolina and Natalie. Portman, Adriana. The three Lima also took out $10 million each, and they only borrowed it, not invested it. Lin Sen naturally knew their intentions.

And David. Falck also took out 5 million. Ruth. Edison also took out 2 million and invested 3 million with jishu at the same time.

Combined, several people scraped together $140 million. And David. Falck also led a team of up to eight negotiators to negotiate with TAKE-TWO.

Thanks to David. After Falck learned in advance that sales of several of the latest 2K games launched by 2K had not met the expected net revenue of less than $1 million, David . FALKE TOOK THE INITIATIVE IN THE NEGOTIATIONS, AND EVENTUALLY REACHED AN ENTIRE $135 MILLION ACQUISITION AGREEMENT WITH TAKE-TWO ON JUNE 3, THE DAY THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS DEFEATED THE UTAH JAZZ IN GAME 6 TO ADVANCE TO THE FINALS.

This acquisition not only acquired the game rights but also acquired the original Jishu personnel, and at the first time and Ruth. Edison's companies merged to form the new 2K company.

When David. When Falck announced the news, many people were shocked for a while, because everyone knows that the sports game market is the world of EA, and 2K is a Pacific Ocean behind EA.

The acquisition of such a company that has not made much progress for almost 7 years with 135 million yuan naturally made Lin Sen a laughing stock in the United States.

"Man, you know he has a lot of money. So it's possible that he made this decision because he had a lot of money and couldn't use it, and I think TAKE-TWO would be incredibly grateful for their generosity. A well-known Wall Street economist said.

ON THE DAY WHEN THE TWO PARTIES ANNOUNCED THE SUCCESS OF THE ACQUISITION, THE SHARES OF TAKE-TWO COMPANY, WHICH SOLD 2K, NOT ONLY STOPPED THE DECLINE FOR A WEEK, BUT ALSO ROSE BY AS MUCH AS $3, AND LIN SEN'S BEHAVIOR WAS JOKINGLY CALLED TAKE-TWO THE SAVIOR OF TAKE-TWO BY MANY PEOPLE.

However, the person concerned, Lin Sen, didn't care, and these things were handed over to David. Falke is busy, he is still fully engaged in training, and against opponents like the San Antonio Spurs, there is not much confidence, or even no confidence, because this year's Spurs are too strong.

In the regular season, Linson played a game against the Spurs on behalf of the Timberwolves before joining the Magic, and there were countless conversations in this game. Lima and Eva's off-field collision also has Linson and Amanda. Seyfried cheated in the locker room at halftime. There was also a second-half outburst in the second half of Linson's affair with Bruce. Bowen's ankle and Zuihou's stop-and-go jumper led the Timberwolves, who were missing Garnett, to beat the Spurs.

After joining the Magic, Linson played a game with the Spurs in mid-March on behalf of the Magic. As a result, the Magic lost to the Spurs by 22 points at home in this game, and they were almost beaten without temper.

The first game of the finals will be played on June 7, although the Spurs are only third in the West in the regular season, they have a 58-24 record, which is 3 more wins than the Magic who are second in the East, so the schedule of the finals will be that the Spurs will play 2 home games and then the Magic will play 3 home games, and Zuihou is the Spurs play 2 home games, of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that the two sides can play 7 games.

No one believes that the Magic and the Spurs played a full seven games, although the Magic were not favored before entering the playoffs, and slapped those experts in the face with their performance to enter the Finals, but the previous opponents obviously could not be compared with the powerful Spurs, so the most hode prediction before the start of the Finals was that the Magic lost to the Spurs 2:4.

The odds of Las Vegas opening the Magic Zuihou to win the championship are scary, and all the media are also optimistic that the Spurs will win the championship again after 99, 03, 05, even the local Orlando media do not think that the Magic can work miracles again.

On June 5, Orlando arrived in the small town of San Antonio two days early, spending two days in the Texas town of Magic either in the hotel or in the arena.

"They're a young team with a lot of potential, especially Wood. Lin, he's the kind of player that most coaches dream of, and I've been following him from the moment he entered the league, and he's grown faster than I could have imagined.

He's beaten us before, I know how strong he is, he's one of the best guys in the league in this position, and he's just a rookie, God knows where his limits are, and we have to contain him if we want to hold on to our home and win. "Spurs head coach Greg. Popovich said this in an interview with reporters after a training session with the team.

Everyone knows how terrifying Popovich's mouth is, the players in the opposing team who were praised by him before the game tend to play badly in the game, and Popovich's praise has made many fans joke that they can finally see Wood. Lin played poorly in the game.

And as a defensive expert who was once shaken by Lin Sen's ankle, Bruce. Bowen also vowed before the game that he would use his performance to tell everyone that he was still him.

Magic head coach Stan. Van Gundy said seriously in an interview with reporters: "We are just a learner. We don't have too many thoughts about the O'Brien Cup. We're here to learn. People all over the planet know how powerful the spur of GDP is. ”

As a rookie who is the leader of the Magic, Lin Sen did not express any opinions, but waited for the start of the game with all his heart.

On June 7, the 2006-2007 Finals will be played in San Antonio. Stern is a huge headache because both teams play standard ratings killers.

This year's finals also made David. Stern had a headache, but for this reason, he and TNT, who had the right to broadcast the finals, carried out a crazy promotion, and the focus of the publicity was undoubtedly around Magic and Linson.

In the survey before the game you would like to tune in to this year's finals, David Brown. Stern was satisfied, but of course all this was just an investigation in advance. David sitting in the NBA office in New York. Stern is waiting for the Grand Final to begin.

The Spurs' home stadium has long been full, Spurs fans are one of the most die-hard fans in the league, and perhaps only they understand the charm of Spurs basketball, a small number of Magic fans and Chinese groups also came to the scene, but they were all drowned in the Spurs fans.

Carolina and Natalie. Portman came to the scene with the team, and the Spurs' most eye-catching man on the sidelines was undoubtedly Tony. Parker's woman, Eva.

"Wow, finally a chance to talk about Wood's game, Kenny, do you know how torturous it feels to sit in front of the TV and watch the game? I'm fed up, I can't wait for the Finals to start, and that's what I believe Orlando will play so well. "Charles. Barkley shook his head in front of the audience.

"Do you have the credit? You're the most shameless guy I've ever seen. No, Jeff, you say, isn't it? "Kenny. Smith asked, turning his head.

Sitting Kenny. To Smith's left is Jeff, who was fired by the Houston Rockets. Van Gundy. Recently, Huo Zhenting is actively inviting Phil. Jackson coached the Hong Kong team once Phil. Jackson refuses then Huo Zhenting will target Jeff. Van Gundy.

"Kenny, does this need to be said? Say he's a waste of time, maybe we can talk about the upcoming games. "Jeff. Van Gundy said with a smile.

"Charles, what do you think about the self-proclaimed hardcore Lin Mi?" Kenny. Smith nudged a disgruntled Barkley.

"Well, as much as I would love the Magic to win the game, I know that's not realistic, I remember this season I witnessed Wood beat the Spurs in the second half, but the chances of that game coming up are too small, and the Finals are not the regular season, Greg is a cunning guy, and Wood will face a lot of trouble, not to mention Dwight and Darko, who are still very young on the inside."

"You mean, you don't think Orlando is either, what do you think, Jeff?"

"Kenny, I'm on the same page as Charles, and if there are no surprises, it's unrealistic for Orlando to take the championship." Jeff. Van Gundy said.

And at this time, the starters of both sides also came on the field. Webb partnered Howard on the interior as a top power forward who was once on par with Duncan, while Tekoglu and Azubuke and Linson were the other three starters.

The Spurs are Oberto and Duncan on the inside, and the small forward is defensive expert Bruce. Bowen, the back line was left to Mike. Finley and Tony. Parker, the Argentine demon knife who has been hot in the playoffs this season, is still sitting on the bench.

"The haode race is about to start!"

In Kenny. In Smith's voice, the game kicked off, and Howard still won the jump ball, but it also became the only time Howard beat Duncan in the game.

Tony. Parker defended Linson, but that wasn't the focus of Popovich's defense, which focused on containing others.

Howard was completely taken care of by Duncan, not only did he not attack well but he couldn't defend it, and he was fouled twice by Duncan after only four minutes in the first quarter.

And Chris. Webber is no longer the more skilled mid-range shooting he used to be, but he also has a poor hand under the care of Oberto, and the offensive end of the replaced Milicic is also contained by Duncan.

On the front line, Tekoglou was beaten by Bruce. Bowen only had to pass the ball, and rookie Azubuke was not at all as prominent as he was in the regular season.

Even if Lin Sen shot 6 goals in the first quarter and scored 16 points in a single quarter, it didn't help the Magic chase the margin to single digits.

At the end of the first half, the Magic relied on Linson's 28 points in the half and trailed the Spurs by 18 points. Brown's back-to-back goals once helped the Magic see some hope, but it was only a flash in the pan, and the Magic without inside containment could not hurt the Spurs' neck bone at all.

"I think what Wood wants most at the moment must be his old teammate Eddie instead of Dwight who looks like a schoolboy in front of Tim!" Kenny. Smith said as he looked at Howard, who had four fouls on his back early and only scored six points, six rebounds and two blocks.

When the game came to the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, Linsen, who had just played two minutes, was defeated by Stan. Van Gundy replaced him and also announced that the Magic had completely abandoned the game.

"Wood is experiencing LeBron's loneliness!" Jeff. Van Gundy looked at Lin Sen, who turned his head to look at the big screen, and his eyes showed unwillingness.
