This Forward is Not Serious

It was as if there were two electric currents intersecting in the air, and no one showed weakness.

Kobe turned his head first and laughed.

Lin Ying then also laughed.

"I will share my best moves during summer training."

Kobe continued.

"Aren't you afraid that I will beat you this year?"

Lin Ying continued.

This is indeed a situation that may arise.

“The game is a game, off the court is off the court.”

Originally, Lin Ying thought Kobe would say he couldn't win again, but he didn't expect such an answer.

But these words actually reflect the reason why Kobe said that.

He really appreciated what Lin Ying said just now!

In fact, if Lin Ying hadn't been such a person from the beginning, he wouldn't have looked at Lin Ying in a different light.

And if you really think about it, he was not like this back then. On the one hand, he learned skills from Jordan, and then on the other hand, he challenged Jordan.

A truly strong person will not be afraid of his opponents challenging him.

On the contrary, he would hope to have a stronger opponent to challenge him, because only in that way can he break through the bottleneck and continue to improve!

…

125 to 116.

After four quarters of fierce battle, the Suns really won!

They defeated the Lakers and ended their opponent's five-game winning streak!

Kobe Bryant scored 43 points, but it was still to no avail, because 3 Suns players scored 20+ and 7 players scored in double figures!

And every time at a critical moment, someone from the Suns always stepped forward, either Nash, Stoudemire, or Lin Ying.

It seems that there is an invisible belief that has been driving them behind the scenes.

In the final decisive moment, Lin Ying stepped up and scored points with Kobe, helping the Suns stabilize their victory.

This win is extremely important to the Suns.

Not only did it boost the team's morale and prove the necessity of that locker room motto, it also allowed them to see the possibility of a championship.

"Now, I feel like we can beat anyone!"

Stoudemire's rhetoric in the post-game interview is the current mentality of the Suns.

After the ups and downs of the first half of the season, they now finally have confidence.

Of course, for the Lakers, losing the game is a bit regretful, but in fact it doesn't have much impact, it's just an ordinary regular season.

It is an acceptable result for both parties.

…

A coffee shop in Los Angeles.

Lin Ying and Kelly Brook are chatting.

He met the "British No. 1 Goddess" at the Staples Center again.

Speaking of which, there have been many interactions between the two, and they even filmed an advertisement together last time.

And the reason why he was pulled over this time was also very simple. After the game, she pulled her over and said she wanted to talk about the bedside photo.

Yes, you have to figure out how to climb out of the hole you dug.

"Actually, I have a friend who likes you..."

The ultimate secret: making friends out of nothing.

"Do you and your brother sleep in the same bed?"

Brooke asked with a smile.

Lin Ying slapped his head.

He... might as well not explain it.

"I like women."

He immediately stated his orientation.

But he immediately remembered that he had taken out the bedside photo just because he wanted to prove this to Xiao Si, and his face turned red.

This made Brooke laugh.

"You don't have a girlfriend yet, do you?"

Brooke then asked.

Lin Ying's face improved a lot when he heard this.

I haven’t had much contact with Brooke before, but it seems like he has a pretty good personality.

Otherwise, he would have been angry if he had used people as shields when chatting with Xiao Si.

"Didn't you say you were curious about NBA players before? I can tell you now that apart from games, you are training, and you basically travel across the United States for a year. How can you have time to fall in love?"

Lin Ying continued.

Regarding this, although he has never been in love, you can tell by looking at Durant's current situation.

Durant and Monica have been together less and apart more often, and their relationship is very unstable.

"Actually, I don't mind falling in love with you. I happen to be single as well."

"Yeah, you happen to be..."

Lin Ying was sighing one second, thinking Brooke was comforting him, but he was stunned the next second.

Can this kind of thing still be okay? !

"Why?"

When Lin Ying came to his senses, he asked doubtfully.

There's always a reason for everything, and it can't be because he's handsome, right?

"First of all, you're handsome."

"..."

Lin Ying blushed a little.

It seems that Durant has not lied to him before. His appearance is both Chinese and Western.

"Secondly, you are very charming on the court. I have watched a lot of games at the Staples Center. It is rare to see someone who can face Kobe without stage fright. Not only did you not have stage fright, you also defeated him."

Lin Ying felt comfortable being blown away.

"Third, I haven't been in love with an Oriental before, so I'm very interested."

Brooke is quite honest.

Lin Ying looked at Brooke carefully for a while.

Even up close, Brooke's looks are impressive.

Of course, the most important thing is her "broad mind."

Britain's number one goddess is no self-proclaimed queen.

"We don't understand yet."

When Lin Ying said this, he had many things in his mind.

For example, if he really falls in love, should he adjust his training time? For example, he wants to open his mobile phone and look for some love tips, and he even thinks about getting married and having children in the future.

Just, a little bit of a headache.

"Then we can give it a try, of course, if you're also interested."

Brooke has a really good temper.

Lin Ying felt this.

Lin Ying lowered his head to think, but his eyes were unconsciously attracted to the dazzling breasts.

It was at this time that he suddenly remembered the previous commercial shooting.

He also said at the time that when looking for a girlfriend, he should follow the standards of a football player.

Brooke is also interested in basketball and is of similar mental age to him.

She seems to be the most suitable candidate, and the key is that she has also expressed interest in him.

"Then... try it?"

Lin Ying raised his head and said.

Then, he extended his hand.

Brooke was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook hands with Lin Ying.

She has never experienced this kind of love that seems to have reached some kind of agreement.

And from Lin Ying's reaction, she could definitely feel that the NBA star opposite her had really never been in a relationship.

"After coffee, will you accompany me to practice ball handling?"

After shaking hands, Lin Ying couldn't help but ask.

Brooke almost spit out her coffee when she took a sip.

"So fast?"

Brooke swallowed her coffee and wiped her lips with her hand.

One second she was lamenting Lin Ying's innocence, and the next second she wanted to get straight to the point.

"Soon? Aren't we trying?"

Lin Ying was a little confused.

Brooke said no more, but looked at Lin Ying with a smile.

So, after drinking coffee, Lin Ying arrived with Brooke...

training hall.

Brooke was stunned for a while as he watched Lin Ying practicing ball control and then circling the ball around the piles.

By the time she was sure that the ball control Lin Ying was talking about was indeed the ball control in front of her, and he was looking at her excitedly, she had already reached out to slap her forehead.

She seemed to have met a magical creature.

…

Shortly after the game between the Suns and Lakers, the NBA announced the final results of the All-Star voting.

Yao Ming was successfully elected as the vote king of the 2010 All-Star Game with 2.8 million votes!

This is also the first time since 2006 that he has been elected as the All-Star vote winner!

The "seal" imposed by Stern was once again loosened.

According to domestic media, due to the call of "Basketball Pioneer" and a certain media person, the number of domestic fans who voted this time reached the highest level in history.

The voting ports in China have been down many times.

James and Kobe ranked second and third with 2.65 and 2.55 million votes respectively.

Lin Ying also received 2.2 million votes in the end, ranking 5th among all players!

It is no exaggeration to say that the NBA has once again felt the horror of being dominated by Chinese fans.

And this result was actually completely unexpected by Stern, because he himself was embarrassed because of the low voting ratio.

But, it really can’t handle the crowd!

Therefore, this is the first time in NBA history that two Chinese players have become All-Star starters!

The Suns copied the miracle of the Nuggets that year. Three people were selected as All-Star starters and became the biggest winners of this All-Star Game.

Attached is the final voting starting list:

East: Iverson, Wade, James, Garnett, Howard

Eastern Conference head coach: Stan Van Gundy (All-Star coaches cannot be employed for two consecutive years, Mike Brown of the No. 1 Cavaliers already coached last year)

West: Nash, Kobe, Lin Ying, Stoudemire, Yao Ming

Western Conference head coach: George Karl (same as above)

There is something that needs to be mentioned here.

After Chinese fans started to show their strength, Stoudemire surpassed Anthony in the second round of voting.

The final voting results came out, and Stoudemire had more than 400,000 votes more than Anthony, and in the end he narrowly defeated Durant and Nowitzki.

"Lin, I love you!"

The day after the voting results came out, Stoudemire couldn't help but "show love" to Lin Ying in the locker room.

He knew that Lin Ying helped him canvass votes, and it was even clear from the final voting results that Chinese fans played a role in it.

So it's easy to draw the conclusion that he was selected as the starter this time because of Lin Ying.

This scene immediately caused Nash and Barbossa to cough.

The world is declining*2.

But this is Stoudemire's character, very straightforward.

Hearing the cough, he also realized that something was wrong with him, but he still couldn't hide his smile and reached out to pat Lin Ying's shoulder hard.

This is about progressing from friends to brothers!

Just after the All-Star starters are announced, the league will determine the list of substitute All-Stars and individual games in the following week.

Among them, Gerald Green was invited to participate in this year's dunk contest.

Because of the Suns' rest strategy, young players got more opportunities, and Green also got some playing time and performed well.

In fact, defense aside, he is fully capable of playing in the NBA.

Moreover, he was the 2007 Slam Dunk Contest champion. The attention of the Slam Dunk Contest has declined in recent years, and I wanted him to increase the popularity.

Because one thing to watch in this year's dunk contest is whether Nate Robinson can win three consecutive championships in the dunk contest.

If he can do it, he will surpass Jordan and Jason Richardson and become the first in history to achieve this achievement.

Adding a former Slam Dunk Contest champion to such an event will immediately increase the attention.

There is still half a month until the All-Star Game starts.

Because after the All-Star break is the trade deadline, some trade rumors have begun to surface.

What attracted the most attention was the official opening of the "Wizards Supermarket", with Jamison and Caron Butler becoming the most watched big names in the trading market.

Secondly, Camby was put on the shelf by the Clippers again. These used teams finally realized that this guy is really a black hole.

…

On this day, Duffy found Lin Ying and said that a car endorsement company wanted to find him as an endorsement.

Moreover, this car brand has a close relationship with him.

"Lincoln?"

Lin Ying was surprised.

Because the status of Lincoln cars in the United States is basically the same as that of Hongqi in China. They are both used for large-scale national occasions.

You see this is the car used in the military parade at the White House.

Are you now looking for a Chinese person to be your spokesperson?

It's a little weird.

But speaking of it, this was the car he gave to Rick Barnes when he graduated.

It wasn't for any other reason than that this car was very popular in the United States.

And the reason Daffy told him later made him a little dumbfounded.

Lincoln's English name is LINCOLN, which sounds very similar to his current Anta independent brand LInK.

Duffy also further analyzed with him why Lincoln chose him.

In fact, it is mainly aimed at the Chinese market.

Speaking of which, Lincoln entered the Chinese market in the 1980s and was as popular as Santana for a while. However, because the model was old and not cost-effective, it now basically has no market share.

Using an influential star like Lin Ying as a spokesperson is naturally an attempt to use his fame to bring back the dead.

"this is not OK."

Lin Ying instinctively refused.

Because accepting this endorsement is tantamount to changing the direction and cheating domestic fans.

"Wait a minute, it doesn't seem impossible, but it can only be one of their first-class cars."

Lin Ying suddenly remembered something.

"What car?"

Daffy was full of curiosity.

"Courtesy car."

Lincoln's other cars are too old-fashioned, but there is one model that will still be very popular in the future.

A limousine car may not be so adaptable, but if it is a wedding car, the image will come out immediately.

The extended version of the courtesy car is very popular among some wealthy people.

And as far as this model is concerned, Lincoln does a good job.

After the discussion here, Duffy came back with a new reply two days later.

Lincoln agreed and still made a hefty offer.

It's not that they are generous, but their current sales in the country are really terrible.

How big is Lin Ying's brand influence in China now?

Not to mention the basketball shoes LinK, Yida, which he endorses, already ranks first in domestic market share.

Therefore, if they want to continue to be competitive in China, they must invest some capital, otherwise what awaits them is a complete withdrawal from the Chinese market within a few years.

The two parties quickly signed a contract, and Lin Ying, the conscientious spokesperson, also had a wonderful idea after signing the contract.

And this idea can also be demonstrated on the upcoming All-Star stage.

The next day, Lin Ying found Gerald Green.

"I have an idea for a dunk. Are you interested?"

…
