legendary point guard
Chapter 8 Bad Summer (Part 2)
Ricky Davis was transferred from the Boston Celtics to the Timberwolves in the middle of last season.
In the 36 games he played for the Timberwolves, he averaged nearly 20 points per game, seeming to have regained the form he once had when he was the boss in Cleveland.
It was no surprise that he would continue to play the role of the team's second-in-command in the new season and still have good shooting rights. However, the Timberwolves selected rookie Lin Sen.
Although Lin Sen is not in the same position as him, his arrival will undoubtedly divert Davis' shooting opportunities, and everyone can see that the Timberwolves regard Lin Sen as the future of the team.
Although Lin Sen has not yet participated in an official game on behalf of the Timberwolves, he has become the team's second-in-command.
It goes without saying that as a veteran, you should train a rookie. This has long been a consensus in the NBA.
Lin Sen naturally knew this, but this did not mean that he would accept it unconditionally.
The day before the game, Ricky Davis asked Lin Sen to carry his bag, and Lin Sen did it.
But before the game the next day, Ricky Davis deliberately wet the shoes Linsen was going to put on to play in the game.
After finding out, Lin Sen, who never thought he was a good bird, without saying a word, took a bucket of water and poured it all into the locker of Ricky Davis who was getting dressed.
When Ricky Davis, who was sitting in front of the locker, reacted, the two almost broke into a conflict, but they did not fight due to the interference of others.
After the game, Ricky Davis publicly complained that rookie Lin Sen didn't understand the rules.
Lin Sen faced the media: "Yes, it is right for a rookie to respect the veteran, but it does not mean that I will accept his humiliation. I am not masochistic."
After that, Ricky Davis kept making trouble for Lin Sen. Lin Sen did not respond to the coach but took the trouble one by one. In the eyes of David Falk, this may be Lin Sen's way of relieving the loneliness of not having a woman by his side.
The relationship between the two was almost irreconcilable. Lin Sen, a rookie, was not afraid and directly made jokes about Ricky Davis in the locker room, without giving Ricky Davis, a veteran, any face.
However, there is no airtight wall in this world, and soon the media learned about the contradiction between the two people.
When all this was reported to the media, more people believed that Lin Sen was not a good boy.
"I said that some people cannot be seen with ordinary eyes. Many talented players are too individual and only have eyes for themselves. They will not bring help to the team, but will bring harm to the team and become unstable.
Factors and even locker room bombs." Michael Jordan said to the media before the start of the Orlando Summer League.
"Adam is not such a player. He is young, talented and a gentleman. He will integrate into the team perfectly. I have full confidence in this and I believe in my vision."
Although Jordan's first sentence did not directly name anyone, everyone knew that during the summer league, in addition to the trade and signing rumors in the league, it was between Las Vegas Lin Sen and Ricky Davis.
Fight news is the hottest.
ESPN expert Lewis Robert even publicly stated that the fight between Lin Sen and Ricky Davis should be filmed. After editing, it will definitely be a wonderful short movie.
But what interests the media even more is that for more than ten days in Las Vegas, Lin Sen, a recognized playboy, did not have a woman by his side.
In the words of "Lainey Gossip" ("Celebrity Entertainment News Network"): "This is a miracle."
Just after the "Celebrity Entertainment News Network" website said such words, Lin Sen caused trouble.
Amber Heard, a third-rate Hollywood actress, has greatly increased her exposure due to her long-term relationship with Lin Sen.
Sexy and youthful, she has also been favored by some directors and advertisers, and has had more film and advertising appointments.
Although she did not play an important role and did not endorse a big brand, it was already a big improvement for her who has been wandering on the edge of Hollywood.
While Linson was in Las Vegas for summer league, Amber Heard was filming a commercial in Los Angeles.
But something unexpected happened. She and Tasyavan Ree, the famous photographer who was responsible for the advertisement, were photographed by reporters having an intimate relationship.
"Oh, **! This is extremely bullshit news, aren't you going to say something to me?" Lin Sen was furious.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this, but it's not that bad." Amber Heard said timidly on the other end of the phone.
Lin Sen never imagined that he would be ridiculed by the United States for being cuckolded by a woman, even though his relationship with Amber Heard has not yet been officially confirmed.
But Linsen has separated Amber Heard from the women who just had a one-night stand with her.
"You just need to tell me if you have anything to do with that woman."
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Lin Sen knew that although the media reports were mostly speculative, they were based on facts.
"What are you going to do? I'm being laughed at as being inferior to a woman. Isn't it too ironic? I can feel that countless people are laughing at me behind my back, but let them damn it, I don't care."
"I don't know either, but my feeling tells me that I don't reject women, and I even like them a little." Amber Heard's voice was a little soft. She had never rejected intimate contact with female friends since she was a child, but this time she didn't.
It's the same, but we almost developed a super-friendship relationship.
"Bisexuality, this is really bad news, but it's better than being a man." Lin Sen never thought that he would encounter such a thing.
"Leave the rest to me, if you don't plan to tell the fact that you are bisexual." Lin Sen was ready to take over the mess.
Lin Sen hung up the phone and received a call from Karolina Korkova.
"It seems you already know." Lin Sen said helplessly.
"Yes, this is the woman I expect you to bring me to meet. This is really exciting news. In comparison, I still think those who are not responsible are more suitable for you."
"Forget it, since it involves me, I can't just ignore it."
"Do you really want to care about that woman? I will never interfere in your private life, but I personally suggest that she is not suitable for you. Do you like being worn by a woman in a millinery, or do you plan to one day..."
"Sister KK, forget it, I don't have that idea yet." Lin Sen knew what she wanted to say, and secretly thought about it, if one day Amber Heard was intimate with another woman
When the time comes, go by yourself.
"**, this is so fucking evil." Lin Sen couldn't help but curse in his heart.
This incident caused quite a stir, of course because Lin Sen, a rookie, was famous enough.
"We will not interfere in the players' private lives. Everyone has his own lifestyle. What we care about is the positive side he can bring to the team. He will become an important part of the team. This has been our goal since the beginning.
I have full confidence." General manager and interim coach Kevin McHale said in an interview with the media.
When asked by the media about the conflict between Linsen and Ricky Davis, McHale did not avoid it: "This is normal, but I believe they will reconcile. This is a process for two people to get along. Ricky
I don’t think anyone can deny the performance last season. Whether it’s for the future of the team or myself, I believe they will handle the relationship well.”
"Amber is a good woman. I believe in everything she does. I have been an insider in this matter from beginning to end. It is not as unbearable as you said." Lin Sen's response to the Amber incident was simple.
.
In the summer of July, Lin Sen gave many people something to talk about after dinner. People could talk about his conflict with the team's Ricky Davis, or they could talk about Amber Hield and his
thing.
The summer leagues in other places also ended one after another. Adam Morrison, who was personally selected by Air Jordan, averaged 26 points per game in the Orlando Summer League, leading the Bobcats to six wins and one loss in the summer league.
This made Michael Jordan extremely excited, even though this was not a regular season: "This is what he should do, because his strength is there, and he did not let us down. I believe he will adapt well to the NBA and become a
An important part of our lives.”
"Perhaps Michael is too hungry. He has carried the reputation of having a bad vision for too long, so now he can't wait to stand up and tell everyone that his vision is fine this time." The latest batch of rookies was officially released at the end of July.
In the rankings, Brandon Roy of the Trail Blazers ranks first, while Adam Morrison ranks second.
Linsen ranked fourth, preceded by Marcus Williams, who was named the second-best defender in 2006 by David Falk.
"If he can change his bad habits and reduce the headache of news, he can still look forward to the future." This is the comment used for Linsen, while other players are evaluated based on their performance on the court.
.
But for Linsen and David Falk, this is just the summer league, and David Falk also brought good news to Linsen.
David Falk, who rejected Adidas and Nike before the draft, did not let the two giants let go, but became more urgent.
In the end, Adidas offered a five-year, 70 million contract with only Tracy McGrady as its signature player.
"This contract is not bad. We have no reason to refuse, right?" David Falk said to Linsen with a smile.
This contract caused a huge sensation, and many people began to laugh at Adidas for ruining its own brand. This was a terrible investment.
However, Adidas didn't think so. On August 5th, Adidas held a grand signing ceremony in Los Angeles, and Adidas' sales increased significantly the moment it signed Lin Sen.
However, this good thing did not improve people's opinion of Lin Sen.
News without Lin Sen made many people feel that life was a bit boring, but Lin Sen did not disappoint them.
Because he was involved in another scandal in September, Lin Sen broke the rules during a four-day NBA rookie training course and was directly expelled from the class.
The reason was that Lin Sen was discovered by the security guard hiding a woman in the hotel room, which violated the rookie transition course's rules of refusing visitors.
President David Stern immediately expelled Lin Sen and forced him to make up classes next year. Lin Sen was also fined US$20,000.
At this time, the Timberwolves announced that they had signed Mike James, who averaged 20 points per game with the Raptors last season, to a four-year contract worth $25 million.
"This is a signal for the Timberwolves to give up on that piece of wood." ESPN columnist Pines wrote this on his blog.
