"I don't know what people in Chicago think. Everyone can think of this method, but I think the league needs to ban this practice. Although this should be a part of basketball, this part may make basketball extremely ugly. I
I wonder if Scott doesn't know that GBen's free throws are even lower than Dwight's, right?
If I did what they did to Dwight tonight on Ben Wallace, I think Scott would jump out and scold me for being immoral, but it's very unfortunate that I didn't do it tonight.
He did it."
Stan Van Gundy in the conference hall angrily accused, while Scott Scales not far away was stunned when he heard Stan Van Gundy's words. Van Gundy was right, Ben Wallace's free throw even
Worse than Howard, what if Van Gundy also uses this trick? As for Van Gundy's criticism at the moment, he doesn't care at all.
"As Stan said, this is also part of the game. To be precise, it is a manifestation of basketball wisdom. At that time, we had no choice. Although we lost in the end, we once saw the hope of victory, which shows that our
If the tactics are used successfully, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I don’t mind if you are willing to try it, Stan.” Scott Skiles said with a smile.
The two coaches fought each other on the spot, and the reporters in the audience were undoubtedly the most excited.
When the press conference ended, the reporters left one by one with great results. At this time, Milicic's agent also excitedly called Milicic's phone number.
"Darko, great job. Keep working hard. Our future is bright." Mark Connstein said excitedly into the phone.
"Mark. What's wrong?"
"Don't you know how good you were tonight? God is so proud of you. Eight teams called me tonight. No doubt they all want you. Look how popular you are.
Like I told you, you'll be an All-Star sooner or later."
Listening to the excited voice on the other end of the phone, Milicic had nothing to be happy about. Although Mark Connstein had done a lot for him, most of it was in vain. The only thing that made him worthy was helping him leave.
Detroit. In fact, it is more due to Cato's expiring contract and first-round pick paid by the Magic.
"I understand, thank you Mark, I will try my best."
Milicic hung up the phone, packed his things and walked to the parking lot, where he happened to meet Lin Sen.
"Wood, thank you."
Lin Sen stopped and looked at Milicic in surprise: "Darko, this is your own ability."
The next day, the national media focused overwhelmingly on Milicic, so much so that Howard's second-level flagrant foul and the Chicago Bulls' long-lasting cutting tactic were put in the background.
"Is the miracle of parallel imports accidental or inevitable?" - "Detroit City News".
"We were mistaken" - "Motor City News".
"Darko's Great Performance" - "espn".
"Orlando's Iron Triangle" - "Yahoo Sports".
"The Light of a Grain of Rice" - "USA Today".
"Stan VanGan: Dee's shameless tactics should die" - "Los Angeles Times".
"Everything is possible when you cut each other down" - "Orange County Chronicle".
"No amount of cutting can stop victory, our magic rice grains" - "Orlando Sentinel".
…
However, many reporters also poured cold water on it with the attitude of watching a good show.
"Amazing? Yes, he did play well last night. But it was just one game. Any player who has played so many minutes has performed unbelievably. But how many of them are just such a shining place?
If you can't find one I can find a bunch of names for you," Los Angeles Times reporter Anchet said on his Twitter.
"God, I am as crazy as everyone else for Darko Milicic's amazing performance, but I have a calm heart, that is, I analyzed the game carefully, and most of his scores came from Wood Lin.
Rookie point shots, completely unguarded goals, even I can make those shots from Wood Lin that are so comfortable that they almost make people moan.
In addition, his performance on the defensive and organizational ends is very eye-catching, but I still say that, to a large extent, Chicago people do not pay attention to him, which is the reason for his magical performance. I bet that he will be better in the next game.
Performance will return to normal.
Of course, I don’t think so negatively of him. In my opinion, if he is given enough playing time, he can contribute 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks to the team, but he will definitely not reach what people expected four years ago.
The situation." ESPN reporter Pat Jackson commented in his column.
As Milicic's head coach at that time, Larry Brown naturally could not escape the entanglement of reporters. Larry Brown, who had an unbearable stubbornness, dismissed Milicic's outstanding performance: "Yes, he was entering the game.
Maybe he could do this in the league, but it turns out that he is just a weakling with extremely fragile psychology. No player will have his kind of mental state. This is just an abnormal game, and it will return to normal in the future.
, becoming a good role team is his limit."
Milicic's hot comments have continued, and the team has also started to comment on the Chicago Bulls' tactic of cutting Hall.
"From my personal point of view, Chicago has successfully used wisdom. They are only one step away from success, but we cannot deny the success of this tactic. Basketball is an open world. I believe that everyone should feel the wisdom of basketball without being simple.
It is simply the charm of the goal end and the defensive end. We should see the competition of wisdom outside the court. This is why the team needs to hire a good coach. Of course, I think I am a good coach." Shark-cutting tactics
The inventor, mad scientist Old Nelson, said this to reporters.
"I support it. I don't think it's anything. Sometimes I do it. Just like sometimes someone does this to someone through DM.
Stan can also do this to gben. I am looking forward to such a scene. Of course I know that some people will go crazy, but I don't care, my coaching philosophy is only about victory." Spurs coach **Veach also said
expressed his own opinion.
"No, although sometimes I do this, but I have restraint. I think everything should have a degree. From my personal point of view, what Chicago did yesterday was a bit crazy." Suns head coach D'Antoni said.
However, most team coaches still tend to approve of the Chicago Bulls' approach, and even expressed their approval and appreciation for Scott Scales' approach. Even O'Neal's current team, the Heat coach Pat.
Riley also expressed his disgust and appreciation for this tactic.
Not only the head coaches, but also all media are engaged in a war of words.
At this time, Lin Sen reached a cooperation agreement with "Vogue", which Annie Leibovitz is currently helping, that is, Lin Sen will appear on the July issue of the American version of "Vogue" magazine and become the cover character.
Lin Sen's appearance on the cover will also create a new history for the 114-year-old Vogue magazine. Before this, "Vogue" magazine has never used a man as a cover character.
And Annie Leibovitz also sent them the photos of Carolina and Lin Sen on the June and July covers.
The cover of Carolina's June issue shows Carolina wearing an Adidas sportswear. The zipper of her top is only pulled down to her heart, and there is not a single strand of hair underneath.
With her hands on her waist, her hair tied up, and on her feet, she wears a pair of Linsen Legend Generation women's rose generation pink color matching.
Carolina tilted her head to show a hint of playfulness, creating an imaginary frame on top of Carolina's head. Inside the frame was a photo of her worried look in the third quarter, and the most conspicuous thing in the photo was
Lin Sen frowned.
The title of this issue of "Vogue" is Carolina - "The Most Perfect Sister KK".
Lin Sen's cover photo shows Lin Sen receiving a steal and long pass from Milicic at the end of the fourth quarter and dunking the ball, then landing and raising his right hand while looking at the Bulls players in front of him.
When "Vogue" announced on its official website that Lin Sen would be the cover star of the July US edition, it immediately sparked widespread discussion. Even before that, another top fashion magazine, "Marie Claire", had been in the UK as early as 2002.
This is the first time that the magazine has made an exception to use Beckham as the cover, but it is also the only time in the history of a top fashion magazine for women.
And this time Lin Sen became the cover star of "Vogue" who was more awesome than "Mère Claire", and the attention he attracted in the United States was no worse than the attention that Beckham attracted at the beginning.
Many people left messages on the official website of "vogue" expressing their expectations and hoping that it would not disappoint them with an issue of the magazine.
At the same time, Adidas officially launched the Linsen Legend 1.5 generation all over the world, which is actually a special playoff version of the Legend Generation. It is not much different from the Legend Generation, but more focused on some changes in style and toe caps.
Naked money-making, this is the direct evaluation of most media, economists and competitors on Adidas' launch of the legendary 1.5 generation, but Adidas doesn't care. For them, what they need is results.
Just as they expected, although the sales volume of the Legend 1.5 generation is far from being comparable to the popularity of the Legend 1 generation, the sales volume has still reached a super best-selling level. This has made Adidas more determined to support Lin Sen.
Now their negotiations with David Falk have reached the final stage, and the launch of the Linsen 1.5 generation is also a test of the water. If the sales volume reaches expectations, they will basically sign the contract.
Judging from the sales volume on the first day, Adidas President and CEO Eric Steminger officially ordered that if the weekly sales of Linsen Legend 1.5 generation reached 10 million US dollars, he would formally agree to David Falk's proposal.
Among David Falk's proposals, the most important one is that Adidas will help Lin Sen create an independent brand company, similar to how Nike created a brand for Michael Jordan.
However, in the initial stage, it will only be an exclusive service for Lin Sen and will not become a real company like Nike that can have the right to sign other players. However, Adidas proposed a three-year, five-year to ten-year phased target agreement.
If Lin Sen meets Adidas's requirements, Adidas will establish a completely independent Lin Sen brand company just like Nike established Jordan.
Adidas's requirement is that Lin Sen meets three of the following conditions within three years: enter the league's first team, top the league in scoring or assists, lead the team to be first in the league, become the All-Star vote winner, and win the regular season MVP
.
Within five years, Lin Sen must lead the team to at least one finals, and within ten years, Lin Sen must aspire to win the O'Brien Cup.
After achieving these goals, the Linsen Brand Company will have complete autonomy to become an autonomous subsidiary of Adidas, and Linsen can share the company's revenue and hold shares.
When David Falk told Lin Sen about the Adidas agreement, Lin Sen agreed without hesitation. You can imagine what an honor it is to have your own brand company like Air Jordan.
When the Orlando Magic team flew to Chicago, the NBA officially announced the penalty for Howard's second-level flagrant foul on Luol Deng during the game. Howard will be suspended for an additional game, which means that Howard will miss the Magic.
The first game against the Bulls away from home.
Howard's suspension also made Chicago fans excited, but they did not believe that Milicic would continue his super form in the fourth quarter of the previous game.
At this time, the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference were defeated by the Phoenix Suns by a score of 20 points in the away game. The Suns also chased the total score to 1:1.
On May 10, the Golden State Warriors, who created the miracle of black eight, lost by two points in the first game. In this game, the Jazz counterattacked despite being in the lead. Deron made a key mid-range shot in the last two seconds to help.
The Jazz reached overtime. The Jazz dominated the overtime. The Jazz successfully defended two home games and led the Warriors 2:0.
The Cavaliers, led by little Emperor James, achieved a near-triple-double in the away game, but in the end the Cavaliers still lost the game. Coincidentally, the scores in both games were 79:76.
With the total score between the Pistons and Cavaliers becoming 2:0, more media and fans believe that the Orlando Magic will have a great chance to compete with the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals.
"Dwight, I'm not kidding you. Do you want you to be treated like the last game? This is Ruth Edison. He will use scientific instruments to help you analyze your shortcomings in free throws." Lin Sen will prepare.
Lin Sen went out to play and went to the University of Chicago training facility provided by the Bulls.
"Scientific instrument? Wood, are you sure you are not joking? Why don't you try it if it works?" Howard said with some dissatisfaction.
"Can't you see that my mid-range shots are much more accurate now than before?"
"It's a bit accurate, but you are you and I am me. I don't think I can learn from it. There is a strip queen coming to Chicago tonight." Howard leaned into Lin Sen's ear and whispered.
"Take off your clothes. You have to practice free throws. I've got Stan and Otis' approval on this."
Howard cried when he heard Lin Sen's words.
Seeing that the protest was ineffective, Howard suddenly remembered: "Darko is not allowed either. He is just a little better than me. It's very pitiful. He must also practice."
If Howard didn't mention Linsen, he wouldn't be able to remember. Milicic also has trouble shooting free throws, but Milicic is slightly better than Howard, with a free throw shooting percentage of almost 60%.
"Dako, I will ask him to come over, but forget it today. I am only responsible for you now. If you practice free throws seriously and follow the suggestions, I will give you extra rewards."
"Extra reward? What is it?" Howard suddenly became more energetic, and the sad expression on his face was completely gone.
"We'll talk about it after practice."
"Now that I'm more motivated, just believe me, Wood!" Howard said, pulling on Lin Sen's training clothes.
Lin Sen was almost fainted by Howard due to the coquettish look of the seven-foot tall man.
"Anyway, it's a good thing. You believe in me, for example, what you are most looking forward to me teaching you."
After hearing Lin Sen's words, Howard was completely motivated.
He couldn't help but take off his training clothes and walked to the court. The shooting coach and Ruth Edison's assistant quickly attached small metal pieces to various parts of Howard's body. This was much more advanced than Lin Sen's before.
Lin Sen still remembers that he used various cameras to take pictures and then analyzed them through the system to get the results, but now Howard has small metal pieces.
"I feel like a guy who has been genetically modified. Wood, am I cool now? Show me some photos." Howard yelled.
After arranging the facilities, Ruth Edison retreated to Lin Sen's side.
"Actually, I have analyzed the reasons for his inaccurate free throws before. The main reason is that muscular players rely more on inside confrontation, which leads to the formation of muscle memory. This is why free throws are okay in training but inaccurate in games.
Circumstances arise." Ruth Edison said.
"Today we will get some specific data. Rather than being as general as what we just said, we will see what adjustments can be made to achieve an effect. However, I personally estimate that he will not be as accurate as you through improvement."
Lin Sen looked at Ruth Edison and smiled: "I don't need to be so accurate, as long as he is 70% accurate."
"I can't guarantee that, after all, you and he are not the same type of players. I can only say try your best and the key depends on the players themselves. Another thing is that we are currently cooperating with a game company. They will use my latest research and development of human body dynamics.
The system is used in games, but currently the basketball game market is almost dominated by EA's NBA Live, and their survival is a bit difficult. Since being acquired by Take-Two Interactive the year before last, the benefits have not increased.
One of the biggest reasons is the lack of authorization from the NBA and the technical gap. They value my team ability and want me to join, but I have a bold proposal."
"Oh, what kind of bold proposal?" Lin Sen was very interested. He also plays sports games, and prefers to control himself in the game to kill everyone. What he plays is nbalive. In this game, his ability value is
83.
"I have carefully analyzed that at least 20% of the U.S. game market is in sports games. Although the NBA is not as popular as football in North America, it does not lack its vast market, let alone outside the United States. take-two interactive
Although it acquired visual concepts and its completely owned subsidiary sh games and established the brand 2k games, it has invested a lot in the past two years and has made little profit.
I inquired that if there is a suitable price, they can choose to sell 2k games. Today, the total market value of take-two interactive is only 600 million US dollars, and they only spent 120 million to acquire visual concepts and all its subsidiary games.
I personally estimate that 2kgames will not exceed US$100 million."
"You want to persuade me to acquire 2kgames?" Lin Sen finally understood the meaning of Ruth Edison's words. Lin Sen was really incredible. You must know that NBA Live in EA is the overlord now, and it is not an opinion to take food from EA's mouth.
Easy thing.
"Yes, I estimate that the acquisition of 2kgames will be successful at no more than 150 million US dollars. I am confident that we can turn it into a money-making machine." Russ Edison said with confidence, but he was also worried about himself.
But he couldn't come up with the money, and joining 2k wasn't what he wanted. Since Lin Sen dared to invest money in him to study the system, he believed that once Lin Sen really agreed, he wouldn't rule out making him an important member of the new 2k.
Lin Sen frowned, and the sound of Dwight Howard shooting and hitting the iron kept ringing on the court. Ruth Edison did not disturb Lin Sen.
150 million Lin Sen obviously can't afford that much at present. All his cash and house add up to only 30 to 40 million. However, loans in the United States are very developed. His player contract and a series of advertising endorsement contracts are enough for him to borrow money.
With so much money, what if he loses money? This is Lin Sen's biggest worry. Although he doesn't value money, having no money is absolutely impossible.
"Ruth, to be honest, I just heard from you and don't have any specific documents to look at. If possible, please type out your suggestions. I will discuss it with David and give you an answer as soon as possible. OK
?”
Russ Edison was a little disappointed, but he also knew Linsen's financial situation. At any rate, Linsen still retained the hope of acquisition. Russ Edison completely devoted himself to Howard's free throws.
In the first 100 shots, Howard made almost 70 free throws. This shooting rate is already very high, and it is similar to his usual free throw shooting rate in training.
Soon Russ Edison connected some instrumental words to Howard to imitate the free throws after the intensity of confrontation in Howard's game. (To be continued...)
