After the "gun holding" incident broke out, NBA President David Stern has been sitting on the needle. In order to restore the NBA's image in people's hearts, Stern is simply not thinking about tea or thinking about it.
Just when Stern was struggling to feel that his blood bar was about to bottom ...
+ 10000HP energy drink from Lin Yi!
Medical box + 10086HP from the Chinese market!
Adrenaline + 10010HP from positive energy public opinion!
full HP resurrection!
Stern felt resurrected!
The "Gunmen" incident has a relatively small impact on the Chinese market. Lin Yi ’s four doubles have also reversed the trend of public opinion for a while, coupled with his tactful performance in "Allen Show", all of a sudden People seem to have forgotten "gun gates".
Stern now sees how Lin Yi looks good.
Why is this kid so appetite for him?
You know, Stern is unanimously committed to making the league play better. Defensively won the championship is not fake, but you all go to play defense and go to hugs. What about the fans? Do fans want it?
How popular was the Suns?
Moreover, New York is the largest city in the United States. The Knicks ’appeal is not as good as it is year after year because New York is not attractive, but the Knicks are not attractive.
But with the emergence of Lin Yi, the Knicks's salted fish turned around and revived this city, which had a passion for basketball.
Even if the professional circles look down on Locke Park, you still have to acknowledge the status of Locke Park in the hearts of grassroots!
New York has a unique basketball atmosphere, the boss Dolan has money, but Naiho Knicks has been dying, and constantly dying.
Now that the Knicks have scored, and Lin Yi, the No. 1 pick from China, makes the Knicks team full of potential and plasticity.
If it was in the 90's, Stern would definitely not choose to support Lin Yi so much, because it was simple and there was Jordan at that time.
After entering the new century, Stern's Kobe favored negative news, and in the past two years, it has managed to recover and the popularity has returned to the peak.
LeBron James is a good boy, but the Cavaliers have been unable to win the championship and are killing his heat. If you blame it, you will blame the "old hooligan" for being too hard. Even after retiring for so long, people think that Jordan is insurmountable. .
This is really not old and thin, but "old hooligan" is really too much.
So after entering the new century, Stern is unanimously committed to developing overseas markets.
Nash is also a Canadian, Nowitzki is a German. Even if Dayao enters the All-Star start in the rookie season, Stern does not impose interference because Stern knows that the US market is always limited and basketball will play like this Going down, it becomes a sport played by Americans themselves.
Lin Yi's potential in the Chinese market is horrible. See how Alexander's stingy guy kept making money after the financial crisis?
Why Dayao was here, Alexander said that he would not sell anything to the Rockets, and as soon as Dayao retired, Alexander didn't want to play.
To put it bluntly, people are also businessmen. If they do business, they may die like Sterling, but when the real business opportunities are in front of them, they will not miss them.
Alexander knew very well that the Rockets only need to fight for the championship every year. As for the true championship trophy? That's not important, let's talk about making money first.
So after Lin Yi's fierce operation, Stern felt really bright!
Is New York boss Doran bad?
Dolan is obviously not bad at money!
If the Knicks win the championship in the future, once he holds Lin Yi, Stern feels that the picture is simply as beautiful as it is beautiful!
Don't look at Lin Yi's instillation of "poison chicken soup", but in the eyes of many American teenagers, Lin Yi is synonymous with positive energy!
"Poison chicken soup" has the function of delivering positive energy in the opposite direction. In this era full of "soul therapy", people have vomited "soul chicken soup". Inspiring and encouraging may sometimes be worse than a head-paining pain. Scolding can make people motivated.
So the day after Lin Yi got the four doubles, Stern convened a high-level meeting of the league.
The focus and theme of this conference is around how to support Lin Yi.
It's a pity that Griffin, the "enemy enemy" of Lin Yi's college days, is still on the sickbed, otherwise the speculations of Lin Yi and Griffin in the college days will be beautiful to the NBA.
If Stern had only tilted resources before, the most important thing now is how the alliance can protect Lin Yi, a rising star of hope.
"I think first of all is that Lin should finish this season in a healthy way. You also know that January and February are a period of high incidence of NBA injuries." A senior executive in the league believes that Lin Yi is indeed worthy of support, but the premise of strong support is also It was Lin Yineng who had been healthy.
The league can never hold a glass man, right?
When Stern decided to hold Lin Yi, many people raised objections. The reason has nothing to do with Lin Yi's popularity and strength. The main thing is whether Lin Yi's play will hurt his knees. ?
The top executives in the league are not a group of people who don't know how to play. The reason why Stern is willing to support Kobe and James is also related to their resistance.
Imagine that the alliance managed to pool resources to produce a super giant. As a result, the super giant reimbursed every year. What's the point of holding it?
"I agree. I think we should give this little guy some help. Don't look at him who doesn't like to fight in the low post. When he broke in, take the game with the Bobcats for several times. Worried that he will be injured. "Another senior executive of the league offered his own opinion.
Stern certainly watched Lin Yi's four doubles game. Can the team coached by Larry Brown be clean?
Stern did not like the Pistons that Larry Brown brought back. Of course, you have to say that Stern did not stumble on Larry Brown. The fans are not stupid. Why did the Spurs sweep 4-0 in 2007? Knight Stern doesn't care?
You know, if it's a "joke brother", if you don't say it well, you're going to snatch.
Although the box office is important, word of mouth is more important. Appropriate help is not equal to a black whistle, but some **** that can be blown or not can be offset, which is also a protection for the star.
The NBA superstar whistle, plainly speaking, is also a way to protect the superstars, otherwise those superstars are so reckless, stepping on one foot, and hitting an elbow?
"Well, we have to say hello to the referees again. I think the Lynx team can foul malicious fouls several times." Stern nodded.
The following discussions were much happier.
The first is to concentrate resources, making it impossible for Lin Yi to take the MVP in the rookie season. This season, James and the Cavaliers dominated, but it is no problem to let him enter the top three, and the other is to continue to publicize the All-Star game voting results. And let the media report and promote Lin Yi more. His coaches and teammates during the NCAA period can pull out interviews in turn, give Lin Yi a special topic, and broadcast it at the right time.
Followed by step by step, to build momentum for this year's slam dunk contest, anyway, Lin Yi has been standing many times, so people prepared Lin Yi to prepare a big move to participate in this slam dunk contest, which caused people's further attention to the All-Star Game, while putting Lin Yi was also promoted as a violent detainer, and Lin Yi's tomahawk-style cross-member replacement can also be used to continue the wave.
The last thing is to invite some famous people who have good opinions and good comments on Lin Yi, and let them go to the show to play Lin Yi. These interviews will also be posted on the NBA's official Chinese website, so that Chinese fans can feel Lin Yi's in the United States. Influence.
The meeting was very smooth. Stern ’s great lies in that he would not agree with the bad ideas from his think tanks. He knows how to balance. Now Lin Yi ’s popularity is very high. God is fine.
After Lin Yi's wave of heat has passed, it will be gradual and orderly, because blowing too much will cause people to feel resentment, after all, Lin Yi is still a rookie.
The last thing is to see if Lin Yi can seize the opportunity.
Every time I think about this, Stern is full of resentment against Vince Carter, and the half-human deities Carter did not get less resources, but who is Carter is not the kind of paranoia of Kobe, the NBA of that era, you How is it possible to grab the scoring king without a crazy shot?
No scoring king, no MVP, no championship, even if you are strong, no matter how good you are, fans will soon forget you.
Carter is just too honest.
Even Stern sometimes wondered if Carter was so low-key because his cousin was McGrady?
At the end of the meeting, a senior league official also suggested: "Lin has ranked first in the league in super long three-pointers this season. Do you want a three-point contest ..."
Stern nearly sipped the coffee to the suggesting executive.
Because Lin Yi is a rookie this year, he must participate in the rookie game, and also participate in the All-Star Game. It is good that he can now participate in the slam dunk contest. Do you still let him go to the three-point contest?
Isn't this to death?
But Shui Guifang, Stern felt, what if Lin Yi wanted to participate?
...
On January 9th, the Knicks flew to Houston together to prepare for the away game with the Rockets. This is Lin Yi's return to his hometown. Here, he and Curry once led the Davidson Wildcats to battle the NCAA.
Speaking of which, the elementary school students are in good condition after entering January. After Nelson rebuked Ellis, Ellis didn't dare to mess around. At the peak of this season, Ellis has averaged 27 shots per game. It's ...
Curry hit a career high of 8 three-pointers in the last game with the Hornets. Poor Chris Paul, I cannoned a face-shot shot that almost collapsed by Curry in the game. .
The Hornets have let Scott roll away ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Unfortunately, they lost too much in front of them, Lin Yi guessed, Paul will play like this for about 44 or 45 minutes, and sooner or later he will repeat his memory That injury.
"Have you arrived in Houston? Haha, buddy, I wish you good luck! I have been in a good shape recently. Although I can't compare with your three quarters, 61 points and four doubles, I am also one of the" Brothers of waves "! Speaking to Lin Yi on the phone.
Lin Yi smiled and said that he hadn't played 2K with Curry for a long time. Lin Yi really missed the time with Curry.
They share common interests and are not short of topics.
It's just ... Will the future Clay children's shoes cry and faint in the toilet? Obviously, Curry prefers "Bo Tao Brothers" to "Water Brothers"!
In Houston, of course, Lin Yi had to visit Dayao. Dayao directly invited Lin Yi to dinner at home. Lin Yi also saw Ye Li and shouted a bitch.
Dayao's parents are also giants. This table giants eat together ... the picture is really harmonious.
