I have a data panel in basketball

Chapter 64

Lin Ri stayed in the hotel, and he could clearly feel that the number of fans surrounding the hotel was much larger than the hotels in the cities he had played in the previous games.

As for the reason, needless to say, it was because of Lin Ri.

All Phoenix fans can't wait to get in touch with Lin Ri in advance.

It is also worth mentioning that the Phoenix Sports Station on the night of the check-in also reported on Lin Ri's arrival in Phoenix to play in the top 8 of the 4 games.

When seeing this news report, Sandek almost didn't laugh out loud.

This is clearly telling the Phoenix fans: Hey, guys, the sun is here, go see him!

The home field advantage is now completely stable!
Lin Ri also felt the enthusiasm of the Phoenix fans on the way to the training arena the next day, one by one holding his posters or jerseys, and even the Suns uniforms with his name printed on them...waving one by one, and some shouted loudly: "the sun, you will come to Phoenix, right?"

Faced with such a crowded scene, Lin Ri also smiled and said to the reporters when he entered the training arena: "This is indeed a very enthusiastic city. I like the fans here!"

The words came out of his mouth, and within half an hour, these words appeared on those basketball websites:

"I love Phoenix, the super rookie the sun loves Phoenix?"

"The sun has a good impression of Phoenix, and the sun team may become the biggest winner this summer!"

"The goodwill has been responded, and the Suns are one step closer to the sun!"

From these articles, looking at the posture, it seems that it is already the draft, and Phoenix is ​​only short of David Stern's announcement from getting the sun...

Such exposure is obviously deliberately done by someone.

The purpose of doing this, as can be seen from these articles, is to let the whole world know that Lin Ri has a good impression of Phoenix.

And the people who will do this kind of thing, or the people who will ultimately benefit from these reports... Basically, there is no need to guess.

Steve Kerr!
What a crafty guy this guy is!
The sun just said that, this guy actually arranged so many reports, it's really shameless!

Donny Walsh cursed angrily.

But in fact, how much he thought that the game between the Sun Devils and the Michigan Wolverines would be played in New York. He dared to pat his chest to assure that if that was the case... he would definitely arrange a bigger team than Steve Kerr!

Hey, the sun has never seen any big scenes, just got cheated by Steve Kerr!

No, I have to find an opportunity to let Lin Ri know what is the enthusiasm for him, Phoenix is ​​nothing at all!
Presti is also very angry, this Steve Kerr is too out of the way, everyone wants to get the sun, so it is enough to grab the number one lottery, what kind of "citywide party" is going on all of a sudden?What does this prove?That's bullying I'm not in Seattle right now!

"Hey, hey, Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, Lin Ri, this way!"

After feeling the enthusiasm of the Phoenix fans all the way, Lin Ri arrived at the training arena and was about to practice when a familiar local accent came. Lin Ri turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Weiping.

The last time Zhang Weiping came to watch the game, Lin Ri accepted their interview after watching it, and then Yao Ming accepted their interview, so Lin Ri recognized Zhang Weiping.

It's just that the person who came with Zhang Weiping this time was not Xu Jicheng from last time, but a young man who looked to be in his thirties.

Lin Ri also recognized it, Teacher Yang Yi, Lin Ri had often watched his commentary before.

"Director Zhang, and Teacher Yang, why are you here?"

Lin Ri ran towards them and asked in surprise.

Lin Ri wasn't very surprised when they came to interview, and it wasn't the first time, what surprised him was why they came today, and the competition started two days ago!

Ordinarily, even the pre-match interview shouldn't be so early, right?

"Xiao Lin." Zhang Weiping said with a thick Jingkou, "That's right. We are here this time to tell you that the game you played against the Michigan Wolverines in two days' time will be broadcast in China. It has no other meaning. I just hope you can perform well. There are still high expectations of you in China, so don't be nervous!"

"..."

I'm not nervous!
You have come to tell me that, how can I not be nervous?

Lin Ri suddenly felt the pressure.

Zhang Weiping didn't seem to feel that Lin Ri was silent, and he was still talking to himself: "Xiao Lin, this opportunity is not easy to get. If you perform well on this stage and play a wonderful performance, you may be able to expand the influence of the NCAA in China in the future. At that time, you will attract some other good seedlings from China to play here, which will be a good thing to promote the progress of China's basketball! So, Xiao Lin, play well, the most important thing, don't be nervous, haha!"

After Zhang Weiping finished speaking, he reached out and patted Lin Ri's arm.

"..."

Why is it involved in the good thing of promoting the progress of China's basketball?
Am I just playing an 8-in-4 game?

Lin Ri was completely under pressure.

"Okay, you're practicing, we're leaving, don't be nervous!" Seeing that Lin Ri's expression became serious, Zhang Weiping felt that what he said was on point, so he left contentedly.

Lin Ri looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and really wanted to go up and kick each of them, so hurry up!
Before you came, I was fine!
What!

Michigan Wolverines?

Don't be embarrassing, I have to do "disability" for you!

Looking at this posture, it is obvious that after a friendly exchange with Zhang Weiping's coach, even before the game has started, "Irritable Lin Ri" is already faintly going online.

It was a game that was meant to be won, but now there is another reason why it must be won!
……

Two days passed quickly, and the 8-to-4 match between the Sun Devils and the Michigan Wolverines finally arrived. Phoenix fans who had been excited for two days came to the University of Phoenix Stadium early, and they were waiting to see Lin Ri's explosive physical fitness.

This guy is known as the combination of Dennis Rodman and Amare Stoudemire!
Amare Stoudemire and they are too familiar!
Simply describe it in one sentence, that is a violent power forward, a beast that abuses the frame!
Since Lin Ri claims to be a combination of him and Dennis Rodman, how awesome is his physical fitness!

Although they have already experienced that guy's dunking ability in the video, let alone, it is really not blown out, he does have that kind of talent.

But watching the video, it is different from the experience on the spot. You can feel the beast-like breath on the spot!

The seats of 6 to 40 people were almost full in less than [-] minutes, and all the fans couldn't wait to shout the sun's name in unison and appreciate his dunk.

This has happened before every Sun Devils game since "March Madness". They naturally hope to have such an interaction with Lin Ri like those fans!
Just kidding, fans of other teams have already interacted with Lin Ri. As fans of the home team, can they not interact with Lin Ri?
Well, yes, they have already consciously brought themselves into the identity of Lin Day's home team fans.

"Huh? Steve Nash, and Amare, are they here today?"

"Steve Kerr brought them here, right? I'll go, why do I have a faint feeling that they are here to swear sovereignty?"

"Hahaha, how will the sun greet these future teammates later? I'm really curious!"

The Phoenix fans who came to the home court early today also got a pleasant surprise-there were three people they were very familiar with sitting in the auditorium on the sidelines: Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire and Steve Kerr.

The general manager of the Suns has all the two absolute cores of the past four years. This is obviously another preparation by Steve Kerr to win over Lin Ri.

He didn't plan to have any communication with Lin Ri today, which didn't comply with the official NCAA regulations, but his presence on the sidelines already said everything he wanted to say.

That's why he chose such a conspicuous position, and he also brought Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire. He just wanted Lin Ri to know how strong his desire to get him was, and he also wanted everyone in the league to know that the sun was booked by him!
"the sun!"

"the sun!"

"the sun!"

The fans' discussion about Steve Kerr and his three guys stopped immediately when the audience next to the player tunnel shouted "the sun" in unison. One or two turned their heads to look towards the player tunnel, and then spontaneously joined the shouting camp.

Lin Ri just went from the player tunnel to the bench, and the cheers of the audience were already deafening.

"Wow, Amare, this rookie is really... amazing!" Steve Nash's eyelids trembled a little at the scene in front of him. He had heard the name the sun countless times from Steve Kerr's ear, and he was almost able to memorize his explosive performance in the NCAA this season.

But he really didn't expect Lin Ri's current influence to be exaggerated to such an extent that just one appearance made all the fans cheer his name in unison.

This was a phenomenon that had never happened in Steve Nash's era. The popularity reached the level of Allen Iverson, but it failed to arouse cheers of this scale.

As for the proud son who is better than Allen Iverson... Maybe it happened, but definitely not before the game.

"What about you back then? Amare, is there such a guy?"

He asked Amare.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot, you haven't played in the NCAA."

Amare Stoudemire: ...

Is it that powerful?

"Little Overlord" said something in his heart.

Originally, he didn't intend to come, but he decided to follow Steve Nash to have a look.

At this moment, the posture on the scene, although his expression didn't change, but he was shocked in his heart. It's too frightening for a newcomer to have such popularity, isn't it?
What can He De He can?
Amare Stoudemire locked his eyes on Lin Ri.

He's starting to take an interest in the young man...
