The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 291 [The lineup is confirmed, the hungry wolf gets married]

On August 8, in a spacious apartment in Cambridge, Boston, Massachusetts, several students were having dinner together, and the staple food was barbecue.

A tall Chinese man was particularly eye-catching. There was already a pile of chicken bones piled up in front of his table, his mouth was full of oil, and he was still chewing.The friends next to him looked at him like a monster. Finally, he ate the last chicken wing, spit out the bone, and heaved a sigh of relief.

A blond girl opened her mouth and asked, "Jeremy, are you all right?"

The Chinese called "Jeremy" said lightly: "I'm fine, but please don't touch my stomach."

A strong black man beside him sighed: "We are proud of you, you can eat forty big chicken wings in one go, I think the **** will call you soon, you can still eat your birthday Cake? Make a wish first."

"Thank you. Compared with the congratulations from ****, I hope that the Clippers can call me and invite me to join. God, please bless me." This birthday person is Jeremy Lin. He unfortunately failed to be drafted on the draft night. He played in the summer league on behalf of the Mavericks in January, averaging only 7 points per game, and the Mavericks will not want him with this result.His NBA dreams looked like they were about to die, so he ate chicken wings to vent his anger.

He ate it horribly, as if "Are you really going to heaven? I really want to go to heaven... If you don't eat now, you won't have a chance to eat again."

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang.It was very close to Jeremy Lin, but he was already unable to move. He stretched out his hand a few times and couldn't reach it. Finally, he sighed, "Who can hold the phone for me?"

The friend smiled and handed over the phone. Jeremy Lin saw that it was his manager's number and picked it up. "Hey, what's the matter?"

His agent shouted: "Lin, I have good news for you. The Clippers invited you to their preseason training camp!"

"What? My God, birthday wishes almost never come true..."
Jeremy Lin's phone was very loud, and the black friend next to him also heard it. He put his hands together and said reverently to the birthday cake: "My wish is 1000 million US dollars. God, please bless me!"

friends:"……"

Going to the Clippers for trial training, Lin Shuhao didn't know what to do, so he had to celebrate by eating, and ate another large piece of cake. (Food!)

Jeremy Lin may not be able to stay. Just participating in the training camp and getting a chance is enough to make him excited. After all, the Clippers are the defending champions.

It's almost September now, if it wasn't for the Clippers not being able to find a good backup guard in the free market, and it would be boring to spend a lot of money to buy someone as a third backup, Ye Feng wouldn't think of Jeremy Lin.Jeremy Lin's prospects are at least better than Barea's. He has height and can defend, and he can make a breakthrough in the mid-range shot. He is fully qualified as a substitute.As for helping the Chinese, Ye Feng really didn't think about it, he just wanted to spend the least cost and get the most benefit, let Jeremy Lin help the Clippers.If Jeremy Lin plays well, the market value will also rise, which is not bad for the Clippers.

Thibodeau also found some other people to participate in the preseason training camp to enhance competition. If Jeremy Lin's performance is too bad, it is possible that he cannot stay.There are now 13 people signed by the Clippers, and they have already assembled the regular season lineup.

Center: Shaquille O'Neal, JaVale McGee, Marcin Gortat.

Power forwards: Kevin Love, Yi Jianlian, Josh Smith.

Small forwards: Ye Feng, Dorell Wright, Matt Barnes.

Shooting guards: Marcus Thornton, Tony Allen.

Point guard: Jason Kidd, Stephen Curry.

The Clippers did not introduce any big-name players, and the most powerful stars went together, and the Clippers looked down on some people who were generally capable and wanted high salaries.There are too many players, and anyone who is introduced can only make a small improvement.

So far, the lineups of each team have basically been determined. The main opponents of the Clippers next season are the Heat and the Lakers.

The Heat's lineup is stronger than that of Ye Feng's previous life in 2010. The main reason is that with Mayo, the Big Three are off the field, and the substitutes will not be slaughtered.

The Lakers lineup is good, but it is a pity that they can't continue to strengthen. Unless Artest is sent out, no team is willing to accept such a big contract, not to mention Artest's character has problems and has the potential of cancer.

Kobe completed his contract extension in the summer.

In Ye Feng's previous life, the total value of Kobe's three-year contract extension was close to 9000 million. The Lakers were willing to give him a high salary because Kobe led the team to win the championship. The management really regarded him as Jordan.Now the Lakers have not had any gains for three consecutive seasons. Lost against the Celtics in 2008, blacked by the Clippers in 2009, swept by the Clippers in 2010, and eliminated by the Suns in the previous two playoffs, the Lakers will give Kobe an annual salary of 3000 million for this bad record, unless it is crazy up.

Kobe has three choices in the summer, take a relatively low contract to renew, jump out of the contract to test the free market, don't renew the contract and don't jump out of the contract, and become a completely free agent next year.Originally, Kobe's commercial value was unparalleled, but with Ye Feng, his commercial value also began to decline.No team will offer Kobe Bryant an annual salary of 3000 million, and the Lakers don't have to keep him.Back then, the Lakers could send O'Neal away to rebuild, and of course they can give up Kobe now.

Kobe is no longer the darling of the NBA. In the past, people only doubted his character, not his skills. Now people are beginning to doubt both.Kobe can't let the team win, so what's the point of scoring more points?

Kobe didn't want to leave the Lakers at all, and finally accepted Kupchak's offer. He stayed with the Lakers for 4 million in four years, and added the right to veto the transaction in the terms of the contract.

Even if Kobe renews his contract at a low price, the salary of the Lakers is still very high. It is not enough to introduce big-name players. If Artest is sent away, only Walton will be left at the small forward position. Who will defend then?
With the rise of the Clippers, the most unlucky ones are the Lakers. In 2010, they should have brought in Barnes cheaply in the free market. Now that Barnes is in the Clippers, it is impossible for the Lakers to bring in useful people at a small price. The Lakers, whose strength has improved in 2011, were all swept by the Mavericks, and it is even more difficult to do anything now.

The 2010 World Championships have also ended.Without Yao Ming, the Chinese team was eliminated in the group stage, while the US team easily won the championship without the joining of big-name players.The Dream 9 team played small-ball tactics, with five swingmen on the court and Odom as a guest center, outperforming other teams in terms of mobility.Durant became the best player in the World Championships, and Curry and Love followed suit to the gold medal.This victory seems to indicate that the US team has once again returned to the pinnacle of world basketball.

Ye Feng spent the entire holiday making movies, and the process was not boring. He met many Hollywood star friends and had a lot of fun.He didn't make his body rusty anymore, and he was able to spare some time every day to practice his skills.

He brought a basketball with him, and the staff discussed the script. When the director encountered a bottleneck, he used Navarro’s method to practice his wrists and practice dribbling in an open space. He practiced for more than an hour and never felt tired. .

Everyone in the production team admired Ye Feng, his energy seemed to be boundless, he had to practice basketball when he had time, and he was serious about filming, like a workaholic.

Ye Feng has persisted in these exercises for more than two years, so he can make great progress in shooting and dribbling.When faced with difficulties, the weak make excuses, and the strong find solutions.Attitude is everything. People who work tirelessly, no matter what industry they are in or what they do, are likely to succeed.

After nearly three months of shooting, only the last scene is left.The crew returned to Italy on September 9th to shoot Ye Feng and Ariel's wedding.

The content is still filmed according to the script, the acting is fake, and the marriage is real.

A total of two versions were shot, the first version is the main plot of the movie.Beth, played by Ariel, thought that Ye Feng fell in love with her because of the chips in the wishing pool, and returned the chips to Ye Feng when the wedding vows were sworn, and ran out of the church.

Ye Feng chased him out, and said by the wishing pool that he never threw any chips to pray for love, nor was he possessed by a demon, and then threw the chips into the pool.The priest who presided over the wedding immediately knelt down and laughed, and lifted the spell. It turned out that the chips belonged to him.It was only then that Beth remembered that Ye Feng said that at the bachelor party at Damon's wedding, the priest won all of Ye Feng's chips.

The second version was to be shown in the aftertaste after the film, the actual wedding.Members of the crew sent blessings to them, and there was also a folk dance performance.O'Neill also joined in, making the dance very funny...

Ye Feng and Ai Lier finally became a legal couple, a real family.

The next day, their wedding was on the news. "The hungry wolf got married", "the boss and the player got married", "the most eye-catching wedding in the NBA", many media sent their blessings.

After consulting Ye Feng and Ariel's opinions, ESPN TV broadcasted a collection of videos about them, all of which were taken while attending various events.

Ye Feng wondered who was so powerful to find these materials. In fact, it was arranged by David Stern.

Once the big, tall and fierce stars on the NBA arena, once they step off the arena and wash away the smoke, do they have a tender side like ordinary people?Accustomed to seeing the all-powerful star demeanor under the halo, fans are also willing to learn about the life of the star outside the arena.

Many people have learned before that money, honor, beauties, drugs, violence... these are things that often happen in the lives of NBA players.In the NBA, money and honor are directly proportional. NBA players only try to prove themselves and get the approval of the fans before advertisers are willing to open their safes and stuff money into the players' pockets.With money and honor, beautiful women will naturally come to your door.Singers and supermodels have become decorations for NBA stars to show off. It is no longer news that a star has a few illegitimate children. Domestic violence committed by NBA players is also very common. One of the main triggers is that players suspect that their wives or girlfriends are unfaithful to them, but they themselves pursue sexual freedom outside of marriage.

With all these things, people have pointed their finger at David Stern.Although Stern said: The NBA is an entertainment industry with a bottom line, the NBA does not solve social cancers, and the NBA has no ability to transform players, but it is still inevitable to be questioned.

Stern believes that the off-court behavior of NBA players has brought the NBA to a crossroads.Whether it transforms into a league of shameless thugs or is revered as a team sport is up to you.

So he chose Ye Feng with a clean background as the NBA's image spokesperson, not only on the court, but also off the court, Ye Feng's marriage was also regarded as a role model.

Some people in the book review area said they couldn't stand Jeremy Lin.

Brother, who is the protagonist I wrote?Basically the owner of the Clippers, knowing that Jeremy Lin may break out and have commercial value, why not join the team?Is it reasonable to spend a lot of money to get a few worthless people with that time-traveling brain in vain?I'm not writing about fans.

Can Jeremy Lin speak Chinese? Is it Chinese who care about Ye Feng and the Clippers?What is his level and what level can he play is the key.Ye Feng couldn't deliberately ignore this nice guy just to satisfy the fans' hatred for fake foreign devils, could he?
I don't write the book from the perspective of fans, but from the psychology of the protagonist in the book.Ye Feng would not persuade Jeremy Lin to join the national team, let alone ask him to play for the rise of China.He came to the Clippers for one reason, cheap and useful.There is no better fit for the free market than him.As for Sun Yue, Battelle and the like, they can't join the Clippers even if they pay the Clippers money, so they can rest when they are cool.

There is also a very important notice. Because of the National Day, the double monthly ticket policy will start on September 9, so the minimum guarantee you have not voted for by then will become two.Dear friends, if you don’t have a specific support for the author, please save the monthly pass until the end of the month to double the monthly pass and then vote together for "Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball". Thank you!
There will be four shifts tomorrow, and then three shifts will resume first. On the 27th, I will start to explode, even if I don’t sleep, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman.Friends, don't ask too much. I think it is more possible to achieve 4 in 20 days. Some buddies in the group often say that there are ten changes a day, so I will be so tired that I will die...
