My vision is different

There are many rich men among the bosses of the NBA, but even if they are not well-known super rich, they are also local households with powerful personnel.

At a time when the influence of the NBA is getting bigger and bigger, too many people want this ticket that is slightly better than nothing, and enter that Vanity Fair.

In terms of value, the Big Apple is definitely the best in the league, no doubt about it.No matter how bad the Knicks record in the "center of the world" is, they are still one of the most famous teams in the world.

Next is Luo Village, the No. That's all.

So everyone has been speculating that Johnson was behind the Clippers' racial discrimination incident, and this is the reason.

A retired player can become the owner of an American basketball team like an old hooligan, or in a big ball market like Los Angeles, there is no more decent thing than this.

On the other hand, Indianapolis, where the Pacers are located, is like other northern teams, but it is not a super urban agglomeration along the Great Lakes. It is just a "cornfield" surrounded by cow dung and straw. country place.

If it weren't for Lin Shaojie to bring Huaguo and European fans of the opposite sex into their eyes, this small ball market would still lead a miserable life for them.

This is what the largest local media, including "Star", said. Lin Shaojie's appearance almost opened another version for the city, and the Simon family, who has been in charge of the Pacers team for many years, also benefited from it.

Originally, it was only a dispensable asset in their hands, but now it has become one of the very important assets, even far surpassing the Simon Real Estate they started from in terms of value.

After all, one is increasing in value, and the other has not risen for many years.

David Simon is not the real boss of the Pacers. He is the next generation of the Simon Brothers. As a son (nephew), he is qualified. After all, after handing over the team to Larry Bird, the Pacers have experienced After leaving the Palace of Auburn Hills, Larry Bird contributed a lot to his return to the playoffs.

David Simon's recruiting was a rare success among bosses.

Now, David has some new ideas. He wants to communicate with Lin Shaojie. He feels that he has given the player enough face by calling himself and sending a secretary to receive him.

For Lin Shaojie, David is the boss. In fact, he is also the boss. In terms of pure economic strength, Lin Shaojie should surpass the Simon family.

Those business elites hidden behind Lin Shaojie help him deal with his business affairs in daily life. They used to be just middle-class people with professional ability. They know their own ability and their position better than others.

The cooperation with Lin Shaojie was introduced by Lawrence Macdonald, and finally became their active friendship. For the group of people at the beginning, it was not easy to become Lin Shaojie's partner, even if it was the lowest level of partnership People, this has an essential improvement for their social status.

In the eyes of the outside world, Lin Shaojie is Lin Shaojie, a well-known basketball star, but to them, the group of people who work for him, this is a mystery shrouded in a golden mountain with shining stars.

Look at those capital giants who can joke with Lin Shaojie, and you can understand the gold content.

Not everyone can call people like Paul Allen and Ballmer brothers and sisters. The premise of everything is equal capital or showing the potential of capital.

The person who can make Coca-Cola willingly pay hundreds of millions of dollars in cash only proves that his value is far greater than their bid.

Following such a boss, as long as they walk steadily, in a few years, maybe they will be able to achieve the final class leap and become a master.

Look at John Thornton helping Lin Shaojie manage a lot of business now, and you can see your own future.

Aside from those "events of the past", anyone who has paid attention to Lin Shaojie knows that the value of the short video "Show Time" under his name is much higher than that of Simon Real Estate in today's era of technology. , not to mention anything else.

Even to a certain extent, Lin Shaojie's cash flow exceeds that of Simon Real Estate. Everyone knows that the so-called pan-real estate companies rely on lending banks to live, but Lin Shaojie's value is robbed by major manufacturers. Send money.

Therefore, when the factors related to the Pacers are excluded, the daily communication between Lin Shaojie and David is on an equal footing.

When Lin Shaojie appeared in front of him and showed an equal attitude, David's personal feelings were complicated.

As the owner of the team, he definitely hopes to be able to control the life and death of the players, but there are always a handful of players in the league who are difficult to control.

Kobe is with the Lakers, and LeBron is with the Cavaliers (Heat).

Today's Lin Shaojie and the Pacers are almost in this state.

The daily life and death power of the Pacers, personnel and finances are almost shouldered by Larry Bird. Larry Bird is the uncrowned king of this team. David is just the boss who pays. It has lasted for many years, and until the last two seasons, the market value of the Pacers has been soaring year after year, and David has paid more and more attention to the Pacers.

Seeing that the team's lowest playoff tickets in previous years can only sell for five dollars, that is the Pacers returning to the powerful sequence of the playoffs.

Athletic success can't hide the Pacers' commercial failure.

But looking at the ticket sales in the past two years, and the average ticket revenue of nearly 20 US dollars per game this year, a 200-fold increase is almost unimaginable for the small ball market of the Pacers. [-] tickets are nearly [-] US dollars. Millions of ticket sales.

Plus peripherals, food and drink sales.
Every home court at Conseco Arena is a cash-harvesting feast.

"You mean? We increase the number of home games?"

Lin Shaojie and David fumbled for a while, and finally understood the other party's intention to treat guests to dinner.The secretary who accompanied David even had an expression of "you finally understand".

"Does Larry know about this?"

Lin Shaojie answered irrelevant questions, but David looked at him and said, "This is very important to us, very important. Larry also understands our current situation. We have many players who need to renew their contracts. We will hit the salary cap sooner or later. Prepare for that moment"

Lin Shaojie put down the water glass in his hand, even in the face of the team owner, he still didn't drink even a sip of wine, David obviously wouldn't refute Lin Shaojie's opinion.

"I don't think the two of us should communicate about this matter. I hope it's me and Larry, or me and Frank. Boss, do you understand what I mean?"

Until Lin Shaojie left, the little secretary who was the face of David Simon didn't look very good.

"Who does he think he is? Doesn't he know whose team this is? It's Larry, and the Pacers belong to the Simon family. The team's name is Simon, not Larry Bird."

But just when David Simon was very upset, his phone rang, and the secretary picked it up with an ugly expression.

"Mr. Larry!"

With that flattering tone, it's hard for you to imagine that you were still filled with righteous indignation just a moment ago.

On the way back, Larry Bird called Lin Shaojie.

"Lyn, you only have one task now, which is to prepare for the rest of the game, other than that, you don't need to think about any issues.

Players, coaches, and salary are not issues you should consider. I hope you will not be disturbed by some off-court factors. Do you understand what I mean? "

The distance between a player and a star is one step away, but the player can only earn a dead salary, but the commercial value of the star has doubled.

Once he reached the level of a star player, a player is no longer a pure player. How could Lin Shaojie not understand what Larry Bird meant? In the end, he would turn around to comfort the old man, saying that he would not be affected by these off-court facial features.

"Don't worry Larry, I know what I'm doing."

David Simon pushed the secretary out as a shield. When he resumed training the next day, head coach Frank pulled Lin Shaojie aside and whispered it out.

In order to vent his anger on Larry Bird, David Simon fired the "self-assertive" secretary and sent him back to Simon Real Estate Company.

The master and apprentice smiled tacitly at each other. For those in the arena, those things outside the arena are really beyond their consideration. If they still have such thoughts in the battle of life and death, it will be fatal.

Such things as match-fixing cannot be brought up on the table, and Lin Shaojie is involved, which is exactly like playing lanterns in the latrine - looking for shit.

Can you find the core to talk about this kind of thing?

I think back then I was looking for a small character with leftovers, who would do such a stupid thing.

So the boss is still the boss, and the things on the court are left to the coach and the players to decide!

For the Heat, and for LeBron, their successful promotion to the Eastern Conference finals is a manifestation of their strength and there is no doubt about it.

Without the Pacers' record winning percentage in the regular season, perhaps with their strength, it might not be difficult to win the Eastern Conference championship in the regular season.

Perhaps because of this, sometimes the Heat's players are even secretly happy. Compared with their current opponents, the Eagles facing the Pacers are by no means ranked in the regular season, and the Wizards who were crushed afterwards are even more surprising.

Don't look at the Wizards being beaten like a dead dog by the Pacers. Four to zero makes people see no hope, but there is a reason for that. The Wizards' guard line is suppressed too hard.

Think about it, such a wizard can climb the mountain of the Bulls, how could his strength be poor.In the final analysis, the Pacers are too strong to make waves, otherwise it would not be the current situation.

If facing the Wizards' "Twin Towers" formation with the strength of the Heat, Bosh feels that it is not enough. If LeBron does not try his best, it will not be easy to get out.

This also shows that the Pacers are indeed far superior to other teams.

This is a team without Hibbert.

For Hibbert's current situation, the Heat's players can't say much about it. In terms of pure strength, he is a talented player. A height over [-] feet [-] is the top physical talent in the East, but this is such a player. Actually trying to provoke the boss of the team, this kind of thing is unforgivable in any team.

LeBron certainly doesn't want such a younger brother, and others will not find such a cancerous player.

So for the current situation that Hibbert may be kicked out by the Pacers, the Heat covet his physical talent on the one hand, but on the other hand, they know that it is not their own food.

And without Hibbert's Pacers, there is also the rising star Gobert, and the ten thousand-year-old substitute Mahinmi, plus a Bynum who can still play a few minutes.

In addition to these people in the paint area, there are two demonic West and Scola. The Pacers with such an inside line are still not to be underestimated, and they are extremely competitive, which makes the Heat envious and jealous.

Bynum was what they wanted at the beginning, but the "old Lakers" gave up on them and finally chose the Pacers.

Only "The Great" Oden and they finally harvested a sick child. On the contrary, Bynum, who was also in poor health, had no health problems under the careful care of the Pacers team doctor. When Hibbert was unstable , this is an instant combat power that can be played at any time.

Even if the data of one rebound can be scored, it is self-evident for the critical moment.

It has only been a few years since the Heat became the Pacers' pain in the playoffs, and the two sides have completely reversed. Today's Pacers are almost the hurdle that the Heat have passed.

After the heat came to India, the hustle and bustle did not stop.

After the game started, Paul George's restriction on LeBron is a true portrayal of the game between the two sides.

Paul George, who is also outstanding in talent but is heading for the peak overall, faces a LeBron who is at the peak. Although he cannot achieve 100% restrictions, it is inevitable to put pressure on the opponent.

Throughout the first quarter, LeBron's offensive advantage was limited, and now the Heat almost rely on Wade and Bosh to carry them forward.

Most importantly, due to Paul George's comeback and Gobert's desperate rebounding inside, the Pacers had 4 more offensive rebounds than their opponents in the first quarter. Relying on the second attack, he was at least 8 points more than the opponent.

"If you simply look at the first quarter of the game, this can even be regarded as an exhibition game."

During the break, Barkley, who was the commentator of the game, smiled at Smith on the side and said that the grievances between him and LeBron have long been an adult matter. Regardless of whether it is for entertainment or not, LeBron is still very generous in this regard. Yes, at least without embarrassment in different media.

Therefore, Barkley's evaluation is already as far as possible from a neutral position, but the score of 30 to 21 speaks for itself. LeBron's difficulty in scoring is rare.

"This is Conseco Arena."

Smith responded with a smile: "I never believe that anyone can beat the Pacers in the Conseco Arena, especially in the playoffs. Don't even think about it this season. Any team that can keep their home court is considered lucky." .”

"So you're sure the Pacers are the winner of this game? Lynn?"

Buckley asked back.

"Of course, without a doubt."

Smith replied affirmatively: "Unless you want to be blind, you won't say that the Heat are the final winners, such words."

"Of course, I certainly support your opinion."

Barkley changed his style of painting: "No one can take away the victory at Consec Arena, especially the playoffs."

Although the Heat dispatched Ray Allen after the second quarter, the shooting skills and effects of "Gentleman Ray" can only play a limited role in front of Lin Shaojie's defense.
