I really play basketball

Chapter 84
In the locker room after the game, teammates returned one after another.

Seeing Lin Xing sitting in their seats, they were chatting and laughing, but they immediately became quiet and restrained their smiles.

They all wrote the word fear on their faces, especially——

Byron Houston, who is very strong, thought of the period of pre-season training, and he asked Lin Xing to run errands again and again.

Although it was a tradition of old birds bullying rookies, even though Dale Demps did it every time, Byron Houston was still afraid.

He timidly sat down in the corner that belonged to him, and then kept sneaking glances at Lin Xing.

Chris Gatlin with a stainless steel plate in his head has a habit of changing his headband every game.

Different colors, different logos.

He thought of one time, he threw Lin Xing the hair tie he had changed.

Let this rookie take it home and bring it to him the next day after washing.

Lin Xing did not follow suit, and Xiao Chong stepped forward to solve the matter.

At that time he felt that Xiao Chong saved Lin Xing, but now he feels that Xiao Chong actually saved him.

There is also Josh Grant from the University of Utah, who is also a rookie with Lin Xing.

He is one of the few in the Warriors who understands Lin Xing, so he warned Chris Gatlin, who has a good relationship with him, early on:

"Don't underestimate him Chris, he is the tyrant of the NCAA!"

"During the NCAA, he threw Isiah Ryder over the shoulder and punched Bruce Bowen!"

At that time, Chris Gatling didn't care about it, so what if Ryder fell over his shoulder, they were all rookies, and rookies pecked at each other.

As for Bruce Bowen, what kind of rotten fish and rotten shrimp is that, he has never heard of the name.

Now, Chris Gatling believes it.

As for Josh Grant, Lin Xing threw Ryder over his shoulder and punched Bruce Bowen, he just heard about it.

Seeing the tyrant's attack with his own eyes this time, he was really shocked.

"This guy is too fierce, one hits two, no, one hits four."

The tyrant of the NCAA is also a tyrant in the NBA.

Everyone was quiet and didn't dare to breathe, except Xiao Chong.

"Damn it, Sta, you really scared me!"

He shook his head when he pushed the door open, and raised his hands, expressing surprise.

The tyrant smiled. "You gotta get used to it, Tim."

"No, how can you get used to this? You can't be so impulsive often. You have to know that fighting is going to be suspended. Now it's not the NBA 30 or [-] years ago."

In the NBA 30 years ago, fighting was commonplace.

At that time, for fights, the league fined at most, and it was impossible to suspend the game.

But in the late 70s and early 80s, because every game was full of fights, because the black players were taking too much cocaine.

The image of the NBA is very bad, the ratings have dropped again and again, and the loss of fans is serious.

At this time, David Stern took the stage.

He set out to change the climate of the league, introducing drug-testing rules and heavy fines for fighting.

But in the mid-to-late 80s, although there were fewer fights, court violence still emerged endlessly.

The Bad Boys used this to cross the league and won two consecutive championships.

It wasn't until the NBA introduced flagrant foul rules in 1990 that Michael Jordan crossed the Pistons that blocked him for three years.

Recalling this period of history, the first thing Lin Xing thought of was not the suspension, but the version, YYDS!
Without a version change, Jordan might be stopped by the Pistons for a year or two.

But turning around, Lin Xing thought of the suspension and started to have a toothache.

"Suspension is indeed a problem."

He turned to look at Xiaochong, "Tim, based on your experience, how long do you think I will be suspended?"

"My experience? I don't have such experience..."

In this era, although the NBA severely punishes fighting and violence on the court.

But in fact, the punishment for small fights is not great.

Just like a madman, he gave Starks three slaps, and there is a high possibility that he will not even be suspended after the game.

But like Lin Xing, who directly turned the stadium upside down and didn't impose heavy penalties, that doesn't make sense.

Seeing Xiao Chong spreading his hands, Lin Xing could only shake his head.

……

That night, the battle between Lin Xing and the Knicks spread throughout the United States.

Everyone has the same expression - shocked!
"Charles Oakley got fucked? Damn!"

"Anthony Mason was kicked over? Damn it!"

"It's unimaginable that the University of Stars alone overturned Charles Oakley and Anthony Mason, chased John Starks, and scared Patrick Ewing into the player tunnel."

"The big bullfrog, the real bullfrog..."

"A true tyrant, as expected of a man named Stalin!"

"..."

When Lin Xing left the Oakland Stadium with confusion about his future and future, he received a call from Payton.

"You played beautifully, Star, you are worthy of being my little brother of Gary Payton!"

"?"

Lin Xing threw a question mark over, how do you talk to the tyrant?

Peyton on the other end of the phone didn't know anything, and continued to climax alone:

"I watched the replay on ESPN and that kick you gave Charles Oakley was awesome!
It's a pity that your teammates don't seem to be helping you?Although you don't need it, but...

If I were here, I would have rushed up and punched Charles Oakley twice for you!
Like Charles Oakley, you have to give him two punches to let him know how good you are..."

Why did Payton only mention Oakley?Why did Payton emphasize that he also punched Oakley twice?
It's not like Lin Xing doesn't know——

"Okay, don't start a new trend, Gary, I don't know you yet, in 91, the key arena, the player tunnel..."

Lin Xing reminded a few key words, but Payton is still playing dumb:

"What are you talking about, Sta, why can't I understand?"

"I said, it's not that I don't know the player channel of the Key Arena in 91. You and Sean Kemp were [-]v[-] by Charles Oakley."

Peyton, who was directly punctured, smiled and didn't feel embarrassed, but just found an excuse: "Isn't that because you're not here?"

"With me here, what do you need?"

Hearing this, Lin Xing was even more speechless.

It's just Oakley, he killed it with two punches and one kick, so what else does Payton do?Cheering by the side?

It's better to have a group of beauties panting, "Don't fight any more!" if a gangster is cheering on him!

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xing went back to sleep.

He has already thought about it, no matter how many games he is suspended, he cannot waste the suspension period.

"Find a trainer, increase the strength in a targeted manner, and then shoot the rest of Nike's commercials."

……

The time has come to the second day after the game, and the headlines of the major media began to flash——

"San Jose Mercury News": "Steel played a one-on-four, overwhelmed two people, ran two people, and won a big victory!"

"San Francisco Chronicle": "The tyrant of the NCAA has begun to exert force in the NBA..."

"ESPN": "Steve became famous in the first battle, but the New York gang ushered in the most shameful battle."

"New York Post": "After the peachy incident, Mason reappeared: played, but didn't score!" (Note ①)

"USA Today": "After the unilateral fistfight, the alliance still has no voice."

Many people are surprised that the NBA has not announced the punishment decision so far. They don't know that the NBA officials really have a headache.

When David Stern heard that another fight happened, he frowned slightly.

Then asked: "Who, disobedient?"

He was startled when he heard that it was Lin Xing who shot Oakley and Anthony Mason and scared Ewing and Starks away.

"Oakley got fucked?"

But immediately, he reacted: "Sda? Is it the Sda who grows flowers?"

The assistant nodded, and Stern suddenly had a headache.

Although he knew that Lin Xing was a flower planter, Stern did not give Lin Xing any special care at the beginning of the season.

Mainly, he didn't know what changes Lin Xing's appearance would bring to the Chinese market.

But in these few games at the beginning of the season, the change of Yang Wu made Stern realize: Lin Xing is very important.

Stern attached great importance to the Chinese market. In 89, he waited at the gate of CCTV and sent in the video.

And also signed a broadcast agreement with CCTV, telling CCTV that you can broadcast it if you want, and you will not charge a penny.

As a result, from 89 to 93, CCTV only broadcast a few videos, not even a serious live broadcast.

Without live broadcasts, the Chinese market has never been fully opened.

For this reason, he felt helpless.

until……

Lin Xing joined the NBA, and Yangwu tried to broadcast a preseason game, which was a great success.

Then in the regular season, in the Warriors game, Yang Wu only lost one game against the Mavericks.

This allowed Stern to see the possibility of completely opening up the Chinese market from the Warriors and Lin Xing.

Lin Xing became extremely important, but at this time, he got into a fight.

It's not a disadvantage, but Stern has a headache at the thought of being suspended.

Lin Xing's behavior of overthrowing the two and chasing and beating the other two was too bad.

According to the current intensity of the league's crackdown on stadium violence, it can't help but play more than a dozen games, which is really unreasonable.

But after being banned for more than ten games, how can Lin Xing, a tool to open up the Chinese market, still praise it so much?
After hesitating for a while, Stern decided to call Lin Xing.

Early in the morning, while Lin Xing was waiting for the league's punishment decision, he received a call.

The number was unfamiliar, so he pinched it without even thinking about it.

After a while, the strange number called again.

Lin Xing frowned, hesitated for a moment, and connected.

"Stalin?"

"It's me, are you?"

"David Stern."

"Who? David S...ah, it's Mr. President!"

Lin Xing wiped off his sweat, and it was Stern who had just cut off the phone.

That really flooded the Dragon King Temple...

Fortunately, when Stern called for the second time, he answered it, otherwise...

I really can't imagine it!

"It's good to know who I am, so I'll make a long story short—"

"Okay, long story short."

"Play well and stop fighting, understand?"

"But sir, it's really not me who wants to fight, it's that Ewing who pushed me first,
I haven't done much yet, the guy named Oakley came up and punched me,
Then there was the one named Mason, who rushed towards me aggressively.
By the way, there is still the first quarter, the man named Starks punched me, I didn't fight back,
But in the second quarter, three people are going to fuck me, if I don't fight back, I'm afraid I can only lie down and go out..."

In New York, Stern just wanted to make a long story short, but in the end, Lin Xing on the other side of the phone called directly.

Although they were all complaints, Stern had to admit that Lin Xing was right to complain.

When the three people on the opposite side want to fuck you, it is impossible for you not to fight back.

"..."

Stern was silent for a while, and choked out a sentence: "Then try not to do anything..."

"I'll try not to do it, but sir, you know, there are a lot of teams like the Knicks in the league,

As for me, I signed those two super-big contracts, and I was very popular, and many people wanted to fuck me,
If I don't fight back, I'm afraid I'll follow in Michael Jordan's footsteps. "

"Michael's footsteps? Isn't he alive and well?"

"Have you forgotten the villain of the Bad Boys Legion? I'm not him, I can't bear so many hugs and falls."

"Well, don't worry, the alliance will pay attention to these issues."

Listening to Stern's official response on the other end of the phone, Lin Xing spread a hand:

"Then I can only guarantee that I will never do it first."

"It's enough to have your guarantee. I will let them take this punishment lightly. In return, just be honest with me."

……

So, in the morning, the NBA officially announced——

"Latterell Sprewell was fined $[-] and suspended for one game for slapping an opponent."

"Patrick Ewing was fined $[-] and suspended for two games for inciting a brawl."

"Charles Oakley was fined $[-] and suspended for three fights for escalating the incident with the first punch."

"Anthony Mason was fined $[-] and suspended for two games for joining the brawl."

"Lin Xing was fined [-] U.S. dollars and suspended for three games for fighting."

"In the end, John Starks was fined $[-] and suspended for one game for throwing a punch at his opponent, which spoiled the fight."

Starks: ? ? ?
Starks really wanted a question mark. In fact, he punched Lin Xing in the first quarter, but he was slapped by a madman in the follow-up, and he didn't fight back.

Later, Lin Xing did not participate in the group fight between Ewing and the other three.

Lin Xing wanted to beat him, but he kept running.

But the league just believes that without his punch, the game would not become full of gunpowder.

Therefore, he should be punished.

The generals in New York are also question marks, although...

They were the ones who started the fight, but Lin Xing suffered from Ewing's push and Oakley's punch from the beginning to the end, and at most Starks' punch.

But look at Oakley, look at Anthony Mason, obviously they were the ones who were beaten.

As a result, Lin Xing's suspension was one game more than Ewing and Mason's, exactly the same as Oakley's.

Especially Mason, Oakley and Starks all gave Lin Xing a punch, and Ewing also gave Lin Xing a push. He was the only one who didn't touch Lin Xing.

Do not……

Still touched, his chin touched Lin Xing's foot.

It is really unacceptable to be suspended for two games just like this.

But the league, let’s be honest, Lin Xing’s three-game suspension has already been finalized.

……

"There are only three games, and it's only a week's vacation. Alas, it's too short. I still want to go to Hawaii for a while."

What is a relationship household, this is called a relationship household!
Lin Xing was very embarrassed, and Aaron Goodwin who came from Los Angeles could only shake his head.

"This is where the nationality behind you plays a role. Otherwise, a ban of eleven or twelve games would be a small amount. Do you know what loss will be caused by a ban of eleven or twelve games?"

"What loss?"

"For these eleven or twelve games, the Warriors will not pay you a penny of salary, and your commercial value in this corner of the United States will also be greatly damaged..."

Lin Xing shook his head, all he knew was that after this fight, he was already a good rebounder and a real strongman.

The salary of the warriors can add up to tens of thousands of dollars?
The commercial value of this corner of the United States?Is it comparable to the Chinese market, which has not yet had time to exert its strength?

"Okay, do you have any plans for this week? How about shooting the second Nike commercial?"

Aaron Goodwin suggested, Lin Xing nodded: "That's exactly what I mean..."

Then, he mentioned: "By the way, and, I don't want to waste this week completely on commercial shooting, please contact me with a personal trainer, I want to improve myself in a targeted way..."

"Personal trainer? You really asked the right time. It just so happens that there is a god-level trainer at home, but the price is a bit expensive."

"money is not a problem!"

For Lin Xing, money is really not a problem, and Nike's big contract is not a decoration.

Although he is a rookie, he has already earned much more money than many veteran NBA stars.

"Okay, I'll contact him."

……

Before the personal trainer arrived, Lin Xing was ready to shoot the second Nike commercial.

It's still the director named Matt Goldman, and the heroine is still Angelina Jolie.

emmm... The main reason is that the last cooperation was not bad, and Lin Xing didn't bother to change others.

Before the filming started, he also made a special call to Julie. The other party thanked Lin Xing very much and said that he would definitely arrive at the scene early to make full preparations.

The result can be...

On the day of filming, Lin Xing was in the Hollywood studio, waiting left and right, but he couldn't wait for Julie.

In the middle, he asked Goldman, who was more familiar with Julie, but the other party just said awkwardly: "She said she was on the way."

But another half an hour passed, and Lin Xing still didn't arrive.

Frowning, he made a phone call himself, but the result was——no one answered!
"Didn't you say you were on the road? Why is no one answering the phone?"

Lin Xing was a little impatient to find Goldman. At this time, Goldman could only wipe his sweat anxiously: "I'll contact you again, don't worry..."

But at this time, a director assistant next to him said: "Matt, you just tell him the truth, it's not an option to delay like this."

This moment was punctured, and under Lin Xing's icy gaze, Goldman could only tell the truth: "Angie may be too drunk to come."

"Gan!"

Lin Xing hammered a car beside him, he should have thought of it earlier.

At this time, Julie can be said to have all kinds of problems all over her body, tattoos, drug use, alcoholism, and everything that has no bottom line.

It's good if you drink too much for a while, but if you drink too much...

Lin Xing shook his head, at this moment, he no longer considered Julie.

"Is there any alternative?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Goldman couldn't take care of that much anymore, so he asked his assistant to bring a list and handed it to Lin Xing.

"The one above here, as long as there is a phone call, it will definitely be there within half an hour."

Here's a list of ad models hanging out around Hollywood, even with photos for easy selection.

Lin Xing scanned the past one by one, looking at the photos, but actually looking at the names.

Soon, he saw a familiar name.

"It's her!"

"Ok, ok, I'm going to call!"

What Matt Goldman said was true, Lin Xing only waited for more than ten minutes before meeting his hand-picked heroine

——South African diamonds, Charlize Theron.

At this time, Theron is just a small model, and she has not even touched the edge of Hollywood.

Because of family changes, she has to participate in commercial activities as a model, shoot commercials, and work-study while studying.

So, as soon as she heard that there was a well-paid advertisement shooting job here, she immediately asked the teacher for leave and rushed here.

"Hi, introduce yourself, Charlize Theron, and thank you for offering me a job..."

Theron turned to Goldman, held out her hand, and introduced herself.

Goldman pointed at Lin Xing: "It's him who gave you this job."

So Theron turned to Lin Xing, and at the same time extended his hand to Lin Xing.

Just like that, Lin Xing held Theron's hand and introduced himself: "Lin Xing, you can call me Si Da."

It was so short that Goldman had to add two sentences: "Sta is a supernova in the NBA, one of the top brands that Nike is touting..."

Don't get me wrong, he didn't want to help Lin Xing raise his status, but for shooting needs.

If Lin Xing's identity and background were not introduced clearly, how could Theron know how she should act in the next commercial?

After Goldman's introduction, Lin Xing held Theron's hand again, and said with a smile:
"Act well, perform well, and I will look for you next time."

As soon as these words came out, Theron's eyes lit up.

The remuneration for Nike commercials is really high, especially for a model like her who is still working and studying, the income from shooting a Nike commercial is worth the US dollars she earns this month.

When the hand holding Lin Xing was released, it was even a little bit reluctant to let go.

Soon, Theron got the script for this commercial.

Compared with Lin Xing's last commercial, the script of this commercial is not complicated.

Simply put—

Lin Xing will lead the team to play a game, and Theron will watch the game from the sidelines.

The score was intense and anxious, but at the last moment, he used a dunk to take away the victory of the game.

While dunking, there will always be a shadow of Theron in the corner of the camera, watching Lin Xing.

When Lin Xing finishes dunking and lands, the shadow will gradually become clear as Lin Xing walks slowly to the sidelines.

When the audience was cheering, Lin Xing walked up to Theron, and hugged Theron tightly.

At the end, Theron will have a short line: "You did it!"

……

The first half of the commercial was filmed before Theron came. At this time, what is needed is to make up shots with Theron in it.

So, on the court, Lin Xing first made up a few offensive and defensive shots, interacting with Theron on the sidelines.

In the end, the director adjusted the watch, and Lin Xing rushed in directly and hit a heavy buckle.

Clang!
After landing, the audience cheered.

He walked to the sidelines with all his majesty.

As the camera moves, Lin Xing and Theron are already hugging each other.

Theron, who is 1 meters tall, huddled in Lin Xing's arms, even a little like a little bird.

After a while, the two let go and looked at each other.

It was at this glance that Lin Xing felt that Theron's eyes seemed to have changed, as if...

emmm... use three numbers to describe it, 456.

"That's the end of the story, it's great, you deserve to be the Emperor Sai!"

But in the next second, Theron's mouth with lipstick was directly printed on it.

Lin Xing was stunned: that's not right, the script has been added?
Although... it's great to add a play!

　The second update of 6.3, today 10.5k, additional update 2k, please vote!
　　Note ①: Anthony Mason was involved in the Salt Lake City rape incident in 93. His lawyer was an idiot. He first claimed that the pair of buddies were Liu Xiahui, and did not do anything to the women.

　　Probably I also felt that it was wrong, and added that although there was an affair, it was not rape.

　　The New York Post's best headline of the year: "Mason plays, but doesn't score"

　　Here, the game did not score, which means that Mason played, but did not touch Lin Xing
