My basketball vision is different
Chapter 346 I'm still me
As an annual tradition of the NBA, as a belated blessing, the winning team was received by the general manager of the White House and took a group photo. It can be said to be a super show.
Those who can participate are all successful people. For this banquet, the walkers have washed themselves up and down, all of them are in suits and leather shoes, and they look like human beings.
As the leader of "Party A", he is the only person with dark skin in the beautiful country. With his height and figure, he is still good on the basketball court. He must have practiced in private. He must not say anything about racial talent. Seeing Lao Hei
Let's just say playing basketball, running or singing and dancing.
Talent is indeed good, but without hard work you will definitely not be able to achieve it.
Just like the image of beautiful Chinese people towards Chinese people, mathematics is very good. Ask those bad students, mathematics is not a good subject, it’s difficult!
Going with the team from the hotel to the White House was a matter of course. There were many reporters outside the stadium and it took the players a while to squeeze in.
Lin Shaojie followed the crowd and was benefited by others in his short history, and he learned more useless knowledge.
When we arrived inside, there were not that many people. As the core, Lin Shaojie certainly occupied the C position. Faced with the questions raised by the reporter who was not inferior to them in height, Lin Shaojie did not shy away from the questions. Many of the questions had been confirmed before.
It is a glorious moment, and no one wants to do something disappointing, which will bring disgrace to the commander-in-chief.
Players are just players, and many people don't want them to get involved in politics.
Before entering the official show, the Pacers also made a little show in front of reporters.
Lin Shaojie pretended to be interviewed. This time the guest reporter was coach Frank.
"Hi Lynn, what is the secret to your winning the championship? Can you reveal it?"
"Eat well and sleep well, these are the key elements for us to ultimately win!"
Lin Shaojie said it in a serious manner, although this was also true, but in front of real reporters, everyone just thought that Lin Shaojie was too serious. This kind of serious way of telling cold jokes was particularly endearing.
Anyway, the reporters in the audience were all laughing, and Lin Shaojie even deliberately raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Are you doubting my statement? Without a good body and good sleep, can you win the championship?"
Everyone in the audience laughed again.
Who cares about this when you win the championship? What matters is definitely hard work, struggle, and not giving up these elements. No one cares whether you can eat well or sleep well. Those are all things that you need to control.
The seemingly serious interview was still going on. At this moment, Ms. Michelle, as the first lady, suddenly appeared behind Lin Shaojie holding an apple. While making a funny expression, she faced the camera and began to bite the apple.
, the strength steals the spotlight.
Just when Lin Shaojie was answering the question, Paul George walked out holding a children's version of the basket with a look that didn't look very smart. Then Michelle held a children's basketball and completed a one-handed dunk.
After completing the dunk, he laughed "haha".
Reporters on site gave this "show" full marks. The interaction was very good, and the "warm-up" before entering the formal part looked particularly successful.
Michelle's early appearance also officially entered the next stage, the first lady's reception.
During the reception, several core players of the Pacers were scattered around, with Michelle in the middle. Everyone gathered around the coffee table...eating apples.
Fortunately, no one presented me with watermelon. No one would do such a thing on such an occasion, unless he didn't want to do it anymore.
Soon, after completing a series of procedures, we entered the final stage.
The leader's appearance has his own aura, after all, it is his territory. If it were on the basketball court, none of these people should be afraid, but in fact, Lin Shaojie can feel the tension of his teammates around him.
The violent heartbeats were beating one after another in this small room. Everyone was as well-behaved as a quail, and there was nothing wrong with them.
In such a state, they have never been like this in the playoffs.
Pooh!
() Sorry!
But think about it, being invited to the white house is an honor.
No matter what the outside world says, after "Big Mao" completes its self-disintegration, the beautiful country is the only overlord on Blue Star, and the commander-in-chief is the most popular figure in the news. What's more, the commander-in-chief with excellent talk show skills will never let the scene
Cool down.
Holding a basketball in hand, after a simple chatter about the opening routine, the Pacers' faces were filled with praises.
It depends on who is bragging about this kind of thing, a passerby or the commander-in-chief, you don't need to think about it to know how important the latter is.
The commander standing in front of the stage turned around after a series of flattery, pointed in the direction of Lin Shaojie and said generously.
"Children, I see you are too nervous. Treat this place as your own home. Relax!"
Can Lin Shaojie really relax?
It should be possible, but not necessarily for other teammates.
The reporters at the scene smiled kindly and encouraged Lin Shaojie to say more with their eyes. Anyway, Lin Shaojie felt that he was normal, but the other Pacers players standing behind him were all at a loss.
It's like when they were kids and saw the boss of the block for the first time!
"Paul (George), do you want to say a few words?"
"Thank you, boss, you better come first!"
Paul George seemed a little nervous, and his voice sounded a little dry in this overly formal occasion.
"Okay, I'll do it!"
Lin Shaojie touched the basketball handed from the commander-in-chief and stood in front of the microphone:
"What I want to say most right now is, my dear fans, I have done what you hoped for.
Mom, Dad, Su Su, although I can't be the owner of the White House, and I won't be able to be in this life, but now someone asks me to treat this place as my own home, then I can be at least half the owner, right?
I did it."
After saying that, the commander next to Lin Shaojie laughed "haha", and the teammates behind Lin Shaojie also laughed one by one.
Lin Shaojie felt that the players and media reporters at the scene were laughing so hard. Those who didn't know better thought they were surrendering to the leadership of the general?
Fortunately, the scene didn't look cold, and the final photo moment soon came. A personable person stood in front of the stage, and a professional cameraman pressed the shutter in his hand.
In addition to the live broadcast footage, perhaps the most popular thing in the final press release was the group photo of the players standing together.
The general manager was in the middle, holding a basketball. Lin Shaojie and coach Frank were lined up on the left and right. The other players gathered around and took a group photo.
After Paul George completed the required procedures, he was so excited that he could not speak when being interviewed by reporters.
"You know, when you are a child, you dream of coming to the White House. I have loved basketball since I was a child, and now I have fulfilled this dream through basketball. Today will be a special day that I will recall every year.
picture."
Lin Shaojie never believed what George said, but after all, he said it "sincerely".
Stephenson's performance was even worse and his speech was incoherent.
"It's great. This feeling is great. I never thought that such a glorious day would happen to me. I achieved great achievements. Under the leadership of Lin En, I did it. I couldn't even imagine it.
This memory is really great, I actually stood in the white house, and the commander-in-chief actually said he liked my playing style, my God..."
Lin Shaojie is sure that the general manager will not like Stephenson's style of play. What the general manager likes is the Bulls Rose, but Rose cannot come.
As the "wise man" of the walkers, West seemed calmer, but the reddish black skin showed that the old guy was not as calm as his tone.
"I never thought that I would come to the White House and be received by the Commander-in-Chief in my lifetime. He is a very graceful man. He likes sports and basketball. He is a member of our circle and he can communicate with each of us.
Conversation, this is a really cool guy and I feel very () at ease here.”
Lin Shaojie shook his head. West was actually not relaxed at all. He was sweating profusely. Of course, West would never admit that he was nervous even to death.
Of course Lin Shaojie, who has attracted much attention, will not say "this is a dream since childhood" like other players. When he was a child, he didn't even know what a white house was. When he first heard the name, what did he think?
What a tourist attraction!
It’s similar to the temples in my hometown. After all, they are all “palaces,” right!
"We achieved the final victory, and that's why we have today's glory.
A season is long, difficult, and sometimes you even get lost. Especially after you have achieved glory, you don’t know why you fight hard. Do you still have the motivation to continue after you have fame and fortune?
I think today’s glory just reminds us that victory belongs to the past. If we want to continue to enjoy such glory, we can only persist and work hard. Maybe we will have a chance to continue to stand here in the coming year..."
As the host with the support of Yangma Mountain, it is not an exaggeration to say that Host Yu was surrounded by onlookers throughout the whole process. Lin Shaojie’s speech was quite satisfactory and he was worthy of being a serious college student. His seemingly innocuous speech did not offend anyone.
On the contrary, he also received a dinner invitation from the general manager after the game. Although it was just a casual meal, this honor does not belong to all players, but to him personally. It is special care from the top.
Host Yu felt that such an invitation was definitely not based on a pure player status. From another perspective, Lin Shaojie was no longer a pure player.
His investment in Meiliguo is not a single one. The investment team is unobtrusive and has done a lot in obscurity.
With the support of people like Allen, Ballmer and even Cook, Lin Shaojie was already able to sit down and have a cup of tea with those big guys before he knew it.
Some people who have struggled for many years are not even qualified to sit at the same table with others. This young man who sold his body and sweat on the basketball court has accomplished all this unknowingly.
Host Yu and Li Dacheng were witnesses to all this news. Su Zhen, who was far away in Indianapolis, even sent relevant news to her mother for a look.
Compared with Cook's visit to the house, Lin Shaojie's personal stay after a group activity to "have a casual meal" was not reported, but it was of greater significance.
Su Zhen found that Su's mother looked a little excited when she saw such news.
Perhaps in Su's mother's view, the identity of the commander-in-chief is the same as that of the emperor in the past. Although the power of the two parties is far apart, the title is placed here after all.
Besides, things between officials and businessmen are never a bad thing, especially for the parties involved.
A young man might not know how to grasp the scale, but Mother Su believed that her son-in-law still had this ability.
As for Lin Shaojie, the person involved, the time before and after the meal was only half an hour of private time, and it was not just between him and the commander-in-chief, with Mihir and his children attending.
There are also staff besides the dining table, which is hard to describe.
Lin Shaojie never thought that he would be the idol of the commander-in-chief's daughters.
Well, as long as young people are exposed to the Internet and short videos, no one will ignore Lin Shaojie, a geek.
"Lynn, how did you come up with the idea of investing in that drink? Oh my god, Coca-Cola actually paid so much money. You suddenly became a billionaire. You are the envy of almost all players."
...
"Your performance on the court is great. My classmates and I all like you. Although some boys express disdain for you, we all know that they keep imitating your actions behind your back, but their performance is inferior.
Awesome, you are so handsome on the court that every boy who plays basketball wants to be a player like you."
...
"Also, how did you come up with the idea of making short videos? "Shoti" is used by all students who have mobile phones. They want to record every moment of their lives. Using text seems a bit outdated. We love that one ()
product, he is our favorite..."
Lin Shaojie did not expect that he would be welcomed by the commander-in-chief and his family.
All right!
Even if you are a leader, the status of a billionaire is more useful to them than a championship player.
In the eyes of the general manager, Lin Shaojie's performance is much better than that of LeBron who came last year.
Behave appropriately and respond calmly.
As a local player, LeBron will definitely be more popular than Lin Shaojie. Coupled with his career, etc., he is the number one player in the league and is extremely influential.
However, as a player who is still in the "freshness period" of his rookie career, Lin Shaojie has gained such great influence around the world in the second year of his career that it is impossible for the general manager to not have some ideas.
More importantly, he saw the potential influence in the "shoti" short video.
Unlike Twitter, which is mainly based on text and supplemented by pictures, the emergence of dynamic videos has once again expanded the promotional channels.
He no longer has to think about himself, but he wants to think about his successor. It would be a good thing to be friends with such a player or even entrepreneur who has an unlimited future.
Whether it is based on public business or personal friendship, the general manager certainly does not reject such communication, and the same must be true for the smart player opposite.
And for the commander-in-chief, if he can let Lin Shaojie change his family, it would undoubtedly be a major event that "takes the greatest credit".
But looking at this young man who looks like a little fox, he can eat and chat, but don't talk about politics. The two parties are very clear in their hearts, and the commander-in-chief gave up after testing him twice.
In the end, the family banquet was just a family banquet, and everyone was able to live up to their reputation. The little girl who didn't know why was chattering for a long time until Lin Shaojie left.
"That guy is so handsome and smart. The girls like him very much."
"Of course, it's the same as when you were young!"
The couple looked at each other and smiled, and then looked at their somewhat reluctant daughter. It seemed that it was not a bad thing for young people to have such an idol.
When Lin Shaojie came out of the white house, it was already very late. Host Yu and Li Dacheng were waiting outside. After the staff who saw Lin Shaojie out left, they felt that the pressure on them was lessened.
"How is it, you feel good today!"
Regarding Li Dacheng's joke, Lin Shaojie smiled: "Looking at the scenery, but it is restricted everywhere, let's go!"
With that said, Lin Shaojie took the lead.
The Pacers players have gone back early, and no one knows how long they will have to wait. Anyway, without Lin Shaojie, and the remaining games are all at home, they still have to wait for the away game in the Western Conference in the second half of the year.
Have a few good days.
Looking back on all his actions today, Lin Shaojie has added a rich chapter to his life resume.
In the past, when I watched these big shots on TV, I always felt that they were far apart from each other. But in reality, I was able to chat a few words and found that it was much easier to deal with them than ordinary people.
There is a template for what people like Datong say on any occasion. Looking behind the cordiality, it feels like there is a wall in your heart. It is difficult for you to see through. Just follow the words.
There is no so-called domineering spirit. The tiger's body shakes and makes you bow your head. He is just an old black man with white hair on his head. At most, he is just a little more handsome among the old black men.
"You know, everyone didn't pay much attention to the news that the walkers accepted the invitation from the commander-in-chief, but the news that you were left to have a casual meal spread throughout the country."
Li Dacheng held up his mobile phone at the side. It was going to be dawn in China soon. It is reasonable to say that the Internet at this time is silent. In fact, the topic about Lin Shaojie has not stopped since last night. It started bombarding in the middle of the night.
Constantly hitting the hot searches, what.
"Director Lin visits the White House at night!"
"Director Lin and the commander-in-chief have a meal together!"
News like this was everywhere, and the feeling of pride filled every onlooker.
() "Tell me, is it possible for Director Lin to betray the "Pavilion" and change the family?"
When seeing such a topic, even Li Dacheng looked at Lin Shaojie with twinkling eyes, let alone the host.
Outsiders don't know it, but host Yu, who has followed Lin Shaojie for some time, knows very well that Lin Shaojie's identity is by no means just a basketball player. He is not only a business card of Huaguo Sports, but can even be seen in many publicity channels.
Represents many people.
Under such passive representation, if something unexpected happens, it can be described as a carnival feast for the West and a Waterloo for China's propaganda position.
Don't forget, Lin Shaojie's parents are now in the beautiful country, and his girlfriend is also here with her children. If such a situation really happens, Li Dacheng knows that many people will be furious.
"Do you think I am short of money?"
Lin Shaojie and Li Dacheng saw off Yangma's group on the road. After tonight, the two parties will be separated, and it's time for him and Host Yu to say goodbye.
Lin Shaojie hopes that some of his words can be taken back so that many people can feel at ease.
After all, if it were another person, if he really encountered such a situation, he would have to nod his head and bow to him no matter what he said, not to mention that some people would look for ways to smooth it out, but for Lin Shaojie, like this
Things don't exist.
Lin Shaojie's question made everyone in the business car shake their heads. The photographer even turned on his device and aimed at the young man in the front row.
"Look, to be proud, if you simply calculate my salary in the NBA, even if it is calculated in terms of after-tax income, it is several million a year.
And my monthly expenditure on food and drink for my family is calculated at 50,000 U.S. dollars, which means that I can only survive on 600,000 U.S. dollars a year.
And this is almost the greatest enjoyment of life for those above the middle class. Even many rich people cannot do such a thing, and they will spend their money elsewhere.
In fact, my and my family’s daily expenses are far less than this. If my business investment income is included, then I guess many people will want to beat me up after hearing this.
But I also want to tell you that the so-called small goals are really small goals. I already have too many small goals. If you are interested, you can check out my cooperation with Coca-Cola, Paul Allen, and Ballmer.
How much cash flow do people bring to me?
Since I entered the basketball world, I have been investing in some software used in China and some software used by overseas users.
So money is really just a number to me.
Do you think I would give up everything I know and run away?"
Lin Shaojie didn't wait for the other party to reply, shook his head and continued.
"Of course I won't give up my roots, I know where they are.
In fact, for most people with financial freedom, simple material enjoyment is enough, and what they pursue is higher.
Some people seek stimulation, while others pursue spirituality..."
"What about you?"
Host Yu asked smoothly.
Lin Shaojie looked at the scenery outside the window, thought of his parents, Su Zhen, and children at home, and then turned around and said.
"Perhaps the world will be unified, a lofty ideal, but a dream that is difficult to realize. After all, I am also the successor.
But to be realistic right now, I just want to make the people around me live a better life, have less worries, and have more happiness, that’s all.
I stayed at the Cancer Hospital in the Imperial Capital for a period of time, and I went there almost every night after training. When I had time, I would go there for a while."
"During the national team?"
Li Dacheng suddenly interrupted and asked.
Lin Shaojie nodded.
"At that time, I went there almost every night, and no one recognized me except that I was taller and wore a mask.
I have always felt that when people are troubled, you can go to the hospital and you will know what happiness is.
I think happiness in the world is mostly a comparison between one situation and another. When you are in the hospital, you will see and hear those () who say the same words as you, with the same skin color, and the same cultural influence.
If you look at the people and their situations, you will know that happiness is hard to come by.
Some people say that I earn a lot, so why don’t I donate to those in need?
I know that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish. No matter how much money I have, I can only help so much.
I make a lot of money, and I also invest a lot. Some investments are just like the cooperation with Coca-Cola, just to make money;
Some of them cannot see any benefits, and you don’t know when the end will be. In the short term, the money will be wasted, but as long as there are results, it will be a great thing for the benefit of the people..."
The car drove slowly towards the airport. In addition to Lin Shaojie's voice, there was a slight beep from the camera in the car. The rest was the "whistling" sound of the cold wind blowing through the car window.
Compared with the cold outside the window, it is undoubtedly much warmer inside the car.
Li Dacheng listened to Lin Shaojie's "Luo Li Ba Suo," while looking at his cell phone with little battery left.
Today he followed it all the way, and replenished the battery intermittently. However, under high frequency of use, the smartphone was really unbearable to operate.
But Li Dacheng was thinking about the rumor that Lin Shaojie couldn't find anyone in the evening when he was training with the National Youth and National Team.
Li Dacheng still clearly remembers that some people said that he, Lin Shaojie, went to have a relationship or go to a romantic place at night. Now it seems that he was just volunteering in the hospital, and the matter was over.
Otherwise, it would be damned if he could play the flute every night and perform well in the London arena!
Even if I could survive with my young capital at that time, I would be finished entering the NBA. The intensity of this competition is not low at all.
