NBA: Unlock the Eye of the Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 67: Won the Best of the Week, sneaker brands can’t sit still. The competition between Lin Yan and Jordan is not so much a direct competition between the two, but a collision between the old and the new eras!

Which echelon does this alliance belong to, whether the new force is stronger, or the veterans are getting older and stronger? We are also waiting for the result of the competition between the two!

But from the current point of view, this definition is difficult to judge.

What will happen in the end, we have to wait for time to give the answer.

On November 7th, US time, the Timberwolves continued to play at home.

This time their opponent became the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns this season are pretty good.

With Sam Cassell, Kevin Johns and Michael Finley, the Suns are also one of the teams worth looking forward to in the West.

Even if the team's star Charles Barkley chooses to leave, this team still has unlimited possibilities. but.

The current Suns team is not as scary as it seems.

The team's core point guard, Kevin John, has always had disagreements with other teammates.

Many people don't know this issue.

But the impact on the game is still very large.

When a point guard loses the trust of the team, it is equivalent to losing the right to control the game.

Thus losing his most important weapon!

Without weapons, his mental function will be greatly reduced.

Compared with the Suns' hidden conflicts.

The Timberwolves led by Lin Yan are absolutely united.

The matchup between the two sides has become particularly clear because of this.

It only took the Timberwolves half-time to establish their advantage in the game.

Lin Yan efficiently scored 15 points, 16 assists and 3 steals in 20 minutes of halftime.

Once again became the biggest contributor to the Timberwolves' victory20.

The team's record has also changed from 3 consecutive wins to 4 wins.

A record of 4 wins may not mean anything to other teams.

But for the Timberwolves, history has been made!

As a member of the NBA's expansion plan, the Timberwolves officially joined the NBA in 1989!

In the past few years since joining the league, the Timberwolves have always been a below-average team.

There was never any improvement.

To date, the team's longest winning streak is the three-game winning streak created under head coach Bill Musial in 1990-1991.

That’s right, three consecutive wins!

The winning streak record of other teams in team history starts from double digits at least, and the worst is 5 consecutive wins!

But the best winning streak in the history of the Timberwolves is only 3 games! now.

They defeated the Suns, won their fourth victory of the season, and successfully created new history.

More importantly, the team's winning streak continues.

Every game this young Timberwolves win will be a new winning streak for the team!

At the same time, we also have everyone’s heartfelt MVPs!

Lin Yan used his performance to bring substantial changes to the Timberwolves.

He deserves everyone's recognition and recognition!

The Timberwolves' momentum is extremely ferocious, which is definitely something that no one expected.

The current management of the Timberwolves has also changed their plans.

At the beginning of the season, their plan was to strive for the playoffs first. If they were unsuccessful in the first half, they would simply fail and try to introduce rookies next year before launching an impact on the playoffs.

But with the team's winning streak, the focus of the Timberwolves management is entirely on this season.

They are eager to create history this season and to complete their rise this season.

For a while.

There is talk of a trade involving the Timberwolves.

At present, everyone has reached a consensus.

The Timberwolves' lineup will never stop here.

It’s just that when the transaction will take place and who the transaction partner will be, it has not yet been determined!

November 10th, US time.

The Timberwolves went to Portland to challenge the Portland Trail Blazers and started their road trip. before this game.

The NBA announced the best player for the first week of the new season.

The best of the week in this era is not divided into eastern and western categories.

The competitiveness is very high, but the gold content is also very good.

This.

It was also hailed by the media as the first confrontation between Michael Jordan and Lin Yan.

The two people's conversation in the air never came to a conclusion.

Everyone has different opinions on the performance of the two. now.

The league's official Player of the Week will undoubtedly give a perfect answer to the current discussion.

From the perspective of the league, is Michael Jordan better, or is Lin Yan better?

The answer is about to be revealed.

In the past week.

Michael Jordan averaged 28.3 points, 6.9 assists and 7.8 rebounds per game.

All 40 losses, no defeat!

It’s really not certain who will win the Player of the Week award. certainly.

The two of them are not the only ones selected for the best of the week.

Players from the entire league can participate.

As long as you perform well enough in the past week, you will definitely be recognized by the league in person.

Except for two people.

Shaquille O'Neal's 30.5 points and 13.4 rebounds per game are equally dazzling.

There is also the possibility of being selected, with Patrick Ewing's 25.7 points and 15.1 rebounds.

It’s just based on the team results, schedule and personal performance. (If you want to read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

As for who it is in the end?

It also depends on the league’s ruling!

finally.

With much anticipation, the league's Rookie of the Year for the first week has been announced!

From the Minnesota Timberwolves - Lin Yan!

Accident?

Doesn't seem surprising!

Lin Yan's Timberwolves were a team that couldn't even make the playoffs last season.

This season, just because of Lin Yan's participation, he achieved 40 losses. Isn't such a performance worthy of Player of the Week? at the same time.

The Timberwolves also created a winning streak, and Lin Yan also broke many records.

Isn't that enough to qualify for Player of the Week?

Even the performance of several other players was outstanding.

But among the many players, Lin Yan's performance was more dazzling. no way.

Who makes his team's overall strength worse?

After winning the Best of the Week, Lin Yan also became the second rookie player to win the Best of the Week after O'Neal. at the same time.

This is also his first personal honor in the NBA.

It is also the first individual honor the Timberwolves have received so far.

It is also the first personal honor obtained by players from China and even Asia.

With just one Player of the Week award, Lin Yan once again broke many records.

Now he is a pure record harvester.

Wherever he appears, there will be the sound of broken records!

When Lin Yan won the Player of the Week award.

Major media outlets reported immediately

"I have long said that Lin is already the best player in the league today and he is starting his own era!"

"Facts have proved that the Timberwolves' transaction was not only profitable, but also profitable!"

"I don’t know why, but after watching Lin’s game, the players in the same draft class of 1996 didn’t have any shining points!"

"I don’t know what the next direction will be, but at this moment, I would like to call Lin the strongest!"

The major media all started praising Lin Yan in unison.

But what they said was not exaggerated, or they were seeking truth from facts.

Lin Yan won the only Player of the Week in the first week of the league.

He deserves any honor now. Praise!

As Lin Yan's popularity continues to increase, the performance continues to improve. Phil Knight, one of the founders of Nike in Portland, Oregon

, has been unable to sit still. Turned to his old buddy Bill Bowerman

"Man, I think we can't continue to do nothing like this. Lin's potential is absolutely endless. We should seize this opportunity and strive to take Nike's strength and popularity to a higher level!"

Bill Bowerman didn't speak, but was thinking seriously.

"Lin is indeed a player with great potential, but we have missed the best time to sign him. It will be very difficult to win him next!"

As the founders of Nike, the two witnessed the rise and fall of Nike with their own eyes.

When Nike was on the verge of bankruptcy, it was because of their agreement to sign with Jordan that Nike came back to life.

Therefore, the two used endorsements to increase sneaker sales for signed stars. They have always been very passionate about things.

It’s just that they are passionate about it, but they are not blind.

Every choice will be made carefully, and they will not fight without preparation!

Especially after Nike gradually gets on the right track, in terms of signing, They have also become more cautious.

They have been paying attention to Lin Yan for a while, but they have never made up their mind!

After Lin Yan won the best, they finally decided to take the initiative. But they also knew that they were too cautious.

The price is that the difficulty and cost of winning over Lin Yan will be greatly increased!

After all, Nike is not the only brand in the league!

"There is nothing we can do about it. Since we have chosen to be conservative, we must accept the consequences!"

"And it’s not that we didn’t give Lin a quote before, it’s just that he refused without even meeting us. Obviously he was dissatisfied with the quote!"

"For now, no matter when we want to capture Lin Yan, we will have to pay a very high price! Phil

Knight said very boldly.

"Then find a way to contact Lin. You can increase some chips appropriately, but don't give it all at once. I believe that the two parties will not compromise easily!"

Bill Bowerman is ready to play a long game.

The title of league's best of the week is nothing.

But if he defeats the opponents like Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Olajuwon, and Patrick Ewing, The value of the character this week is different!

At the same time, Andreas

, the CEO of Adidas in country D, was looking at his assistant seriously.

"Old man, I think we have to take action. Lin's performance is so impressive. I think if we want to defeat Nike's strength, Lin will be our most important component!"

Adidas has always been the strongest supplier to the NBA!"
