Lin Yu hurriedly called Stern.

After Stern received the call, he thought something was wrong, he just received a call from Celestial Empire TV yesterday, saying that he was going to broadcast the Eastern Conference Finals live, Stern was so happy at the time, he was really afraid that something would happen to this matter.

"Lin, what's going on?" Stern asked in a trembling voice.

"Mr. Stern, I'd like to ask you for a favor, no, it should be two."

"The first one is that I want to buy the remaining 50% of Pauline's shares, is there any way you can get him to agree?" Lin Yu is most concerned about how to get Bolin to sell the equity in his hand.

"Huh? Lin, is this what you mean, or is this what the elders in your family mean? ”

"If you mean it, I think you need to ask your elders for their opinions, it's more than 100 million dollars, not 180,000 yuan for a Rolex."

Stern said with a deep frown.

Lin Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of background he had in Stern's mind.

"Of course, it's my own intention, but I don't have enough cash at the moment, so I may have to borrow some from you."

"Don't worry, I can use 50 shares in my hand as collateral."

When Stern heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart, he had just been admitted to the bar certificate when he was 27 years old, and he followed the senior lawyer's ass every day to carry his bag, Lin Yu was 27 years old and was ready to buy an NBA team with full ownership, which was really more popular than people.

"Even if the mortgage is over, can I still trust you."

"It's easy to borrow money, but we have to see what price Pauline offers."

"Pauline actually has a lot of property in his hands, there are three sports teams alone, and your Verizon Arena belongs to him."

"That means that even if you buy the Washington Wizards wholly owned, you still have to play in his arena, which is easy for him to get stuck, for example, to increase the rental fee of the arena."

"Now he owns half of the equity, so it's not good to spend on the lease fee."

Stern kindly reminded.

Lin Yu nodded, most NBA teams are actually leased arenas, and only a very small number of team owners own arenas, and Pauline is one of them.

At current market prices, renting a stadium is actually not expensive, and the average rental cost for each team is probably less than $2 million a year.

Lin Yu thought that even if Pollin raised the price, the maximum would be doubled to four million, and the extra two million would be sprinkled with water.

"It's okay, as long as you can take his half of the shares, Mr. Stern, can you think of a way?"

"It's not difficult, he's a businessman, as long as the price is right, he will definitely sell."

"I'll help you ask for a price first, you have been waiting for my news for the past two days."

Stern simply took this job on himself, he helped Lin Yu so much, on the one hand, he felt that Lin Yu had helped him develop the Celestial Empire market, and on the other hand, he felt that the genius was in the hands of Lin Yu, so that the real market value could skyrocket.

Stern's image in the minds of players is very bad, almost all players think of him as a dictator and tyrant, but Lin Yu knows very well that this old man's contribution to the NBA is immeasurable, and he has saved the NBA from danger many times.

To be reasonable, if it weren't for Stern, the NBA would have been finished 800 times, and these players still want to get tens of millions of contracts? There are no doors.

Launched the black-and-white era of Big Bird Bird and Magic Johnson, and then made Jordan's only true god era, made a salary cap, restricted the NBA team from dominating, and then came up with a maximum salary regulation, so that NBA owners have money to make, develop the Chinese market, and attract a large number of brand advertising binding, take Nike as an example, if it weren't for the NBA, it would definitely not make so much money in China.

It was a classic operation that created the later NBA prosperity, and Lin Yu at least admired Stern in this regard, he really has the ability and means.

At present, if Lin Yu can wholly own the Wizards, it will definitely be a good thing for the NBA.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu waited patiently for news from Stern, and the Wizards were about to play the second-round opponent of the playoffs, the Heat.

That's right, it's the Heat again, and the playoff script for the Wizards this year is almost exactly the same as last year, even if the ranking of the Eastern team changes greatly, the Wizards still face the Heat and the Knicks in the first two rounds, and then the Eastern Conference finals are likely to be against the Bulls.

Of course, Lin Yu would not be naïve enough to think that Pat Riley didn't play any tricks, it wasn't that Lin Yu lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Lin Yu was not a villain, and Riley was not a gentleman.

In the previous game, Riley instructed PJ Brown to wrap the bus's arm, but unfortunately stealing the chicken did not make a mistake, and the bus's thick arm directly dislocated PJ Brown.

Now that it's the playoffs, if he really sees that there is no hope of winning and is about to be eliminated, Lin Yu doesn't believe that Pat Riley will not make small moves.

The first two games were the home court of the Wizards, and PJ Brown has returned on the Heat's side, but unfortunately whether it is facing Webb or Xiaoao, PJ Brown's defense is limited, and he is not good at defending this type of shooting type of four.

And Mo Ning under the basket is even more miserable, Lin Yu took turns to play Big Ben and the bus to go to the wheel battle, Mo Ning couldn't bear it even if he was beaten with iron, and even Lin Yu saw Mo Ning drinking Gatorade with mixed ingredients during the break, and nine times out of ten it was painkillers.

Big Ben and Big Bus, the two fierce men, are full of strength, and it is difficult for Mo Ning to parry one, let alone be wheeled out.

The Heat's outside line was also beaten, Nash simply didn't play in these two games, and Lin Yu has been using Kobe Bryant to play against Tim Hardaway.

Lin Yu is indeed not a villain, but he is cautious, Tim Hardaway angrily sprayed Lin Yu on All-Star Weekend, and it is strange that Lin Yu can get used to him.

Even if Kobe Bryant plays the No. 1 position, the Wizards' offensive rhythm is not as smooth as Nash's on the court, Lin Yu doesn't care, it's all about winning anyway, it's better to disgust Tim Hardaway.

The Heat's inner and outer cores were suppressed miserably, how did they still win, and they lost by more than 20 points on both away games.

When it came to the Heat's home court next, Tim Hardaway didn't know what nerves were going on, and began to explode angrily at Lin Yu and the Wizards.

"I've never seen a team with such a home field advantage, as if anything I did on the court, I could get fouled."

"Kobe Bryant is a kid under twenty years old, I don't know who he was trained to look dirty like this, he elbowed me at least ten times in these two games!"

First, the referee's whistle was too biased towards the Wizards, and then he sprayed Kobe Bryant too dirty, and by the way, Lin Yu was also yin and yang.

Since it's the home court of the Wizards, isn't it normal to have more whistles? Lin Yu has now led the team to play more than 100 games, and he has never sprayed the opponent's home advantage.

This is the unspoken rule of the NBA, it is a part of the NBA, in the final analysis, the NBA is a commercial league, not the Olympics, fans spend a lot of money to watch the game, it is impossible to see their home team suffer on penalties.

As for Kobe Bryant's elbow strike, Lin Yu admits this, it is indeed an elbow, but Tim Hardaway is not clean, and his small pinch action has not seen him do less.

The reason why the playoffs are intense is because both sides are desperate to win, and the offensive and defensive actions are very large, and even the referee turns a blind eye to these things in the playoffs, as long as it does not cause a brawl, it is not a problem.

Tim Hardaway isn't playing the playoffs for the first time either, could he not know this? At the press conference, these things are simply disgusting.

……

"This damn old thing, look at my waist, it's all bruised for him."

"He's a wicked person who sues first, and in front of the Heat fans in the next game, I have to abuse him severely."

Kobe Bryant lifted his clothes and let Lin Yu and his teammates see the pinch marks on his waist, which was indeed shocking.

In fact, because of the color of the black man's skin, these scars don't look obvious, if those white fat players, such as Jokic the pork belly in later generations, then he played a game with blood all over his body, which looked particularly obvious.

"You guy don't come here, don't think I can't see through your purpose."

"You just want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a crazy move, and change tricks to cheat the power!"

Maddie quickly debunked Kobe, and the daily routine of the two was to love and kill each other.

Kobe Bryant laughed, "What's wrong with me playing the Heat a little more?" When I play against the Bulls next, I don't have a chance to shoot, or Michael will hand it over to you to defend? ”

Maddie's face was stunned, and he suddenly looked at Kobe Bryant with pitiful eyes, "Okay, you have a point, you do have a reason to make more shots in this series." ”

Lin Yu is also happy, every time he plays against the Bulls, Kobe Bryant plays the role of a tool man, and he makes seven or eight shots in the whole game, which is almost negligible, and almost puts all his energy on defending Jordan.

He's right, he won't lose the game against the Heat anyway, so let Kobe Bryant play one more shot, which can be regarded as compensation for Kobe.

"Man, since you've said so, the rest of this series will give you unlimited firing rights."

"Remember, be careful, you should know very well how dirty this Heat team is."

Lin Yu said to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant was overjoyed and thanked Lin Yu again and again, he felt that the representative battle of his career was about to appear.

After playing a whole season with the Wizards, Kobe's stats are not bad, but there is no such super stat that can go down in history.

Now it's the playoffs, the data is even more golden, Kobe Bryant is high-spirited, and he can't wait to go on the court and cut him 60 points immediately.

……

The game in the evening began, and the starting lineup sent by Lin Yu was Kobe, Maddy, Peja, Webber and Patina, and the offensive and defensive intensity was all full.

None of these five people have a bad defense, and the worst Peja is also a leader in the No. 3 position.

As for the offensive firepower, it is even more amazing, Lin Yu can pat his chest and confidently say that his lineup is the strongest offensive firepower in NBA history, and there is no one.

Any one of these five has the ability to average more than 25 points per game, which is a five-man group of this level in NBA history.

At the beginning, Kobe Bryant beat Tim Hardaway to win.

Poor Tim Hardaway is Kobe's opponent, he can't even do it, let alone Kobe Bryant, who can beat the speed.

The other players on the court saw that Kobe was in such a hot state, and they made wedding dresses for Kobe, the bus helped Kobe out of the basket space, Webber pulled out to help with the blocking, and Maddie and Peja ran without the ball to help Kobe attract the opponent's defensive attention, so as not to be caught by Kobe.

The young Kobe Bryant showed his killer nature, and his scoring explosiveness was extremely amazing, even Lin Yu was shocked, this kid won't cut off seventy or eighty points tonight, right?

In the first half, Kobe Bryant slashed 36 points, and the opposing Tim Hardaway only scored six points, which is the clear gap.

In the second half, Kobe Bryant's hand suddenly cold, Lin Yu was happy, if he really cut this guy 80 points, then his tail can be lifted to the sky in the future, which is definitely not a good thing.

At the beginning of the second half, Kobe Bryant leaned back four times in a row, hit three irons, and really turned four backs into three irons, which made Lin Yu happy.

However, the advantage of the Wizards on the field is huge, even if Kobe Bryant throws indiscriminately, the Heat can't find any winning point.

Don't forget, the game is not only about offense, but also defense, Kobe's side has a low shooting percentage, and the Heat side is painfully defended, and the shooting percentage is not much higher.

By the halfway point of the fourth quarter, relying on the super high shooting frequency, Kobe Bryant also scored 23 points in the second half, and his personal score has come to 59 points!

"Ten seconds later, you'll be witnessing the birth of the youngest Mr. Sixty in NBA history."

Bryant held the ball from the outside, looked at Tim Hardaway in front of him and smiled.

"When the game is over, I'll break Michael Jordan's playoff scoring record, and I'll thank you at the post-game press conference."

Kobe Bryant's trash talk is the essence of Jordan, not dirty but annoying enough.

Tim Hardaway grinned so much that he stepped forward and made a gambling steal, which was quite irrational and gave Bryant a chance to break through the basket.

The game has been played so far, and Mourning's physical strength has long been consumed by Big Ben and the bus wheel battle, at this time, Big Ben squeezed Mourning out of the three-second zone under the basket, and Kobe Bryant could drive straight into the basket and rush to the basket to dunk.

As long as this goal is scored, he will score 61 points and will become the youngest Mr. 60 in the playoffs in NBA history!

It's extremely rare to say that the youngest player can score 60 points in the playoffs, and only two people have achieved this feat today.

One is Jordan, the record holder for the highest score in a single game in the playoffs, who scored 63 points in a single game in 86.

The other is the unlucky Elgin Baylor, who scored 61 points in '62!

In other words, as long as Kobe Bryant scored this goal, he could tie Baylor's record and rank second in the history of single-game scoring in the playoffs.

Seeing that Kobe Bryant had rushed to the basket, Tim Hardaway was anxious, if he dunked Kobe, he didn't dare to think what kind of face Kobe would give himself.

The most unacceptable thing for him is that the game is not over yet, and Kobe Bryant still has the possibility of scoring higher.

Thinking of this, Tim Hardaway couldn't care so much, and rushed towards Kobe Bryant, his speed was very fast, and at the moment when Kobe got up and buckled, he took a step directly and knocked Kobe Bryant's elbow to the ground.

Kobe Bryant has seen many players injured this year, and they didn't dare to land with their feet when they landed, so if they hurt their ankles, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Bang!"

With a bang, Koeheavy fell heavily on the floor, face down, and his hands were propped up, so as not to let himself fall too badly.

Even so, after landing on the ground, Kobe Bryant looked painful and covered his fingers, obviously with a finger injury.

Before Lin Yu could make any moves, Lao Qiao on the bench was anxious.

It was his own son, the only son, Tim Hardaway who made such a dangerous defensive move, in his opinion, murder, to cut off the incense of his Bryant family!

Old Bernie and Old Bob, the two old men, hurriedly dragged Old Joe again, for fear that he would do something stupid.

Lin Yu's face was pale, he knew that the Heat gang of puppies was not a good thing, but he didn't expect to start in the third game.

He thought it would be Game 4, but after being swept by the Wizards, the Heat would make a move.

The angry Lin Yu stood up suddenly, and a trace of anticipation flashed on the face of Pat Riley, who was not far away, and he couldn't wait for Lin Yu to rush onto the field.

Anyway, the Heat is destined to not be able to advance, and Riley wants to drag Lin Yu into the water when he dies.

Bowen and Billups, who were on the bench, hurriedly stepped forward to hug Lin Yu.

"Boss, don't get excited, we still have to play the Bulls later, you don't want to lead the remnants into the Eastern Conference finals like you did last season, do you?" Billups calmly reassured Lin Yudao.

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, "Fuck the east, if I don't breathe out tonight, I won't be able to sleep for at least a week!" ”

"Damn Tim Hardaway, look how Lao Tzu cleans you up!"

Tim Hardaway shrugged and slowly walked in front of Lin Yu, "How do you want to clean me up?" Like you did with Childs? ”

"I'm sorry, but my trade is worth ten times as much as Childs."

After that, Hardaway laughed, even if he lost, he was happy in this game, and the All-Star weekend was angry, and he vented it all at the moment.

Lin Yu's face gradually turned cold, and seeing Tim Hardaway leave triumphantly was really more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Boss, don't be angry, it's not worth being angry with this kind of person."

"If you're really angry, let me play, I'll help you get angry."

Uncle Bao, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke.

Lin Yu turned his head to look at Bowen, "You have a grudge against Tim Hardaway?" ”

"It's not a grudge, boss, you may not know about my experience, I played in my rookie season with the Heat, but I only played one game and played for a few minutes."

"It's normal for a leftover player like us to be bullied by a star in the dressing room."

"No, I'm not talking about our locker room, Chris they were very nice to me and respected me."

Speaking of which, Bowen had a smile on his face, he was actually a little exaggerated, he did only play one game in the Heat in his rookie season, but not for a few minutes, but for 1 minute!

If it weren't for the NBA's minimum minute of timing, Bowen's real playing time would have been only 32 seconds, and that would have been a whole season, playing only 32 seconds.

The key is that he doesn't look pleasant, looking bitter and hateful, his status in the Heat locker room can be imagined.

And after arriving at the Wizards, he really experienced the warmth of his teammates, whether it was the All-Star starter bus, Webb or Kobe, or Big Ben, Maddy, Nash, Xiao O, they treated Bowen like a brother and never had any disrespect.

Lin Yu looked directly at Bowen and said slowly: "That kid used to say that I was a barbarian in front of reporters. ”

"Then our brothers will show him savagely tonight."

"Look at this posture, the referee shouldn't expel him from the game, I'll give you two minutes, it's only two minutes, I want to see him taken out on a stretcher!"

"It's successful, I'll give you a three-year, $4 million contract extension next season!"

Lin Yu is really like a devil who is trading with mortals at the moment, he originally took down Bowen to get Bowen on the right path, but what happened tonight made Lin Yu forget his original intention, he just wanted to let the damn Tim Hardaway be carried off the field on a stretcher.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Bowen's breathing became short, the three-year guarantee contract, the key contract amount is four million US dollars, if he can do it, he can at least ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing in this life!

"It's done!" Bowen said fiercely.

……

The referee on the court hesitated for a long time, but still did not eject Tim Hardaway from the game, but only gave Hardaway a first-degree malicious foul.

There are two levels of malicious fouls, the first level is roughly similar to a yellow card on a football field, and after accumulating two, it becomes a red card, that is, the second level of malicious foul will be ejected.

The Wizards had a two-free throw opportunity.

Bryant had been pulled off the floor by Webb and slowly walked to the sidelines.

"How's it going?" Lin Yu asked with a worried face, and Lao Qiao on the side was also distressed.

"The finger may be broken, fortunately, it is the finger of the left hand that is broken, and the next Dong will not be able to give Michael the middle finger."

Kobe Bryant held his left hand, and his middle finger looked obviously deformed, which made Lin Yu's scalp numb, maybe it was broken? It was obviously broken, and the middle finger was only connected to a layer of skin.

"Get out of the game, get back to the locker room." Old Joe said in a trembling voice.

Kobe Bryant shook his head, "No, I still have two free throws, and I only need to make one free throw, and I can get sixty points." ”

"Not to mention just breaking a finger, even if I have a broken leg and collapse on the floor, I have to punish these two balls."

Old Joe was anxious, "It hurts you to death." ”

Lin Yu could only sigh, in the face of this paranoia, all he could do was to satisfy his wishes, and if it was him, he might make the same choice as Kobe.

"Go ahead, go back to the locker room after two free throws, and the rest is not suitable for children to watch." Lin Yu patted Kobe Bryant's shoulder and smiled.

Kobe didn't understand the meaning of Lin Yu's words, and turned his head back onto the court.

The fans at the scene gasped, they are already like this, and they still want to make free throws? Doesn't this kid have pain nerves?

Ten fingers connected to the heart, ordinary people encounter this kind of pain, absolutely unbearable.

Lin Yu looked at Kobe's back, and all he had in his heart was admiration, no wonder this guy could stand tall in the NBA for so many years with his not so outstanding physical talent.

"Bang!"

The first free throw missed.

"Huh!"

In the second free throw, Kobe Bryant gritted his teeth, adjusted the trajectory of the basketball shot with the palm of his left hand, and hit.

Sixty points in a single playoff game!

Youngest Mr. 60 in the playoffs!

No. 3 in the single-game scoring list in the playoffs!

Lin Yu applauded and cheered, Kobe Bryant deserves this honor tonight!

When Kobe Bryant returned to the locker room satisfied, Lin Yu glanced at Uncle Bao with a cold gaze.

"Let's play, I want him to be stretchered off the field in two minutes!"

Bowen nodded and took Bryant's place.

Billups sat aside and wondered, "Chief, what if Bruce can't do it?" You only said that success would allow him to sign a 4 million contract. ”

"And what if it fails?"

Lin Yu had a grim smile on his face, "There is no possibility of failure. ”

What are you kidding, that's Bowen, he wants to hurt people, and no one is spared!
