NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

Barkley's words also caused laughter from the audience.

The source of this remark comes from O'Neal and Rodman's game that year, when the two had a dispute, O'Neal said directly:

"What are you arrogant, even if my grandma and Jordan are on the same team, they can still win the championship! 35

This sentence has also been passed down to the present, and there is even a joke on the rivers and lakes: Joe chooses Joe, no Joe chooses shark, Joe has shark, grandma starts!

The MVP of this year's All-Star Rookie Game was awarded to Lin Lei without any suspense.

In this game, Lin Lei scored 71 points, 12 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 10 assists.

After winning the MVP rookie trophy, Lin Lei also thanked his teammates with a smile, and lamented that they are all great opponents.

"I'm grateful to be able to compete with these players, who represent the future of the NBA and lead the next era.

I am looking forward to the sparks that "One Twenty Seven" can collide with them on the field, and I hope everyone will continue to work hard. "

After saying these words, Lin Lei didn't stay any longer, and walked out of the stadium with a smile amid the cheers of the audience.

In the locker room passage, the league president Stern has been waiting here for a long time.

When he saw Lin Lei come out, Stern stepped forward even more quickly and took the lead in congratulating Lin Lei:

"Congratulations, Lin Lei deserves this trophy. Your performance today is amazing!"

Stern's attitude towards Lin Lei was something that even O'Neal didn't imagine.

In the face of the league president, O'Neal was still a little angry, and it was very simple. O'Neal played basketball for so many years and was fined more than 3 million by Stern.

Even Shaquille O'Neal in his prime, Stern took very strict measures against him.

But who would have thought that this incomparably strict president of the alliance would be very polite to a rookie who had just entered the alliance!

Perhaps sensing everyone's strange gazes, Stern smiled and waved to Lin Lei, indicating that he wanted to go to a place where no one was there to talk.

Lin Lei also immediately understood, and the two quickly walked out of the arena to a special reception room.

"The president must have something to do with me this time. Just say it!"

Recalling Stern's eyes during the game just now, coupled with his attitude just now, Lin Lei suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Especially looking at this old guy in front of him, he is still smiling, and it makes people feel that he is hiding a knife in his smile.

Seeing that Lin Lei had said so, Stern said directly without detouring.

"Your performance just now was so perfect that you have already attracted the attention of many big brands.

Just now we reached a cooperation with Fengtian Motors, they hope to let you participate in the endorsement, the annual endorsement fee is as high as 20 million!

Stern couldn't hide his excitement at the end of the painting. 20 million is already the price of an international superstar. Even among NBA stars, no star can reach this price when he endorses a car brand.

If Lin Lei and the NBA can reach this cooperation with Fengtian, it will undoubtedly be a good start, and the endorsement fees of major brands will also rise.

At that time, the NBA can even exceed the endorsement fee of a football star.

Although the NBA is so popular now, in fact, compared with the endorsement fees of those football stars, the appearance of Lin Lei, who has a huge gap, also gave Stern hope.

Who knew it was this seemingly perfect proposal, but Lin Lei shook his head without any room to think after listening to it.

"Sorry, I can't accept this endorsement!

Lin Lei's words also made Stern's eyes widen immediately, sacred purchase is the difference, is there really a fool who throws money out in this world?

After all, the endorsement is also very simple, as long as Lin Lei shoots two videos and posters.

He couldn't imagine why Lin Lei would reject this seemingly perfect proposal.

Just when Stern was about to say a few more words of dissuasion to Lin Lei, a slight knock on the door outside the parlour interrupted their conversation.

The door opened and a man wearing a suit and not tall came in.

Although he may look like a Chinese, Lin Lei can also confirm that he should be a Japanese from the beard he wears.

Sure enough, after the man walked in and saw Lin Lei and Stern, he immediately showed a somewhat flattering smile, bowed to the two, and began to talk to him.

"Hello Mr. Lin Lei, I am the head of overseas public relations of Fengtian Motors - Lin Cun Yimu.

We, Fengtian Motors, appreciate your performance in the arena, and hope to reach a cooperation and become famous overseas together with you!

While Lin Cun Yimu was talking, he also took out his portable notebook and began to show various slides for Lin Lei, as well as his vision for future cooperation.

However, Lin Lei was still unmoved, but refused with a smile.

"Mr. Lin Cun is really sorry, I appreciate your group's sincerity and I'm very moved, but we can't reach a cooperation!

"why?"

Hearing Lin Lei say this, Lin Cun Yimu's eyes were full of surprise.

He subconsciously cast his eyes on Stern, hoping to get an answer from the old CEO's face.

Unexpectedly, Stern shook his head helplessly at the moment, indicating that he himself did not know the specific reason.

"Mr. Lin Lei, do you think our sincerity is not enough? If it's because of the price, we can talk again.

Please don't refuse directly, after all, our group is still very influential, if we reach a cooperation, it will definitely be a win-win situation!"

"No, Mr. Lin Lei, you misunderstood, it has nothing to do with your non-cooperation and price!

Having said this, Lin Lei's expression also became a little serious.

"Sorry, because I'm Chinese!"

His words are also powerful, and this reason alone is enough.

After saying these words, Lin Lei smiled and nodded to Stern and Lin Cun-mu, and walked out of the reception room.

"Lin Lei, wait a minute!"

Lin Lei walked out of the reception room, and not long after, the voice of President Stern came from behind him.

Seeing Stern hurried forward, Lin Lei was also a little surprised.

"President, should you continue to be a lobbyist for Fengtian, this matter is really not negotiable!

Rejecting the brand of East Japan is not only born on Lin Lei's body at 5.9, but Dayao also rejected it.

As Huashan's eldest brother, Big Bird has taken the lead in making a statement, and Lin Lei is not bad at all. No matter in terms of emotion and personal strength, how could he do such a thing.

"Oh, forget it, let's end this matter, I'm not looking for you for this!

Stern also sighed helplessly. He knew that Lin Lei had clearly rejected Fengtian's cooperation.

So then Stern changed his words, looked at Lin Lei, and said in a deep tone.

"I came to you this time to talk about another thing, and that is Paul George's injury!

If I guessed correctly, the reason why Daniel refused the operation last time was because of your presence.

Since the ointment you gave to Paul George is so effective, are you interested in promoting it all over the world?
