NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade
Chapter 119 The truly unique point guard in NBA history!
Chapter 119 A truly unique point guard in NBA history!
After climbing the ladder, Lin Tian did not stay in Los Angeles for too long. He just practiced with Kobe and Magic for a few more days before setting off for New York.
When going to New York at this time, of course there is only one thing to do, and that is his contract with AND 1, which is finally going to be announced. AND 1 has prepared a grand press conference!
The reason why it took so long to announce the details of the cooperation is not that the contract details need to be studied, but that the three founders of AND 1 must make Lin Tian's sneakers before they are willing to announce theirs. cooperate.
To put it simply, the signing press conference and the sneaker press conference are held together!
During this period, the AND 1 trio were developing new sneakers while frantically contacting the media. They wanted to make this cooperation as big as possible and make this press conference as loud as possible throughout the United States!
Not only the United States, the three of them also contacted Su Qun, hoping that Su Qun would also send someone to interview them, and that Su Qun could use a huge page of the Pioneer newspaper to cover this conference.
After all, the reason why these three guys are willing to give Lin Tian so much money is because of his influence in China!
Although the retail store in China still needs to be negotiated and there are still a lot of procedures to go through. AND 1 will not be able to have its first retail store in China until the end of the year at the earliest, but they must also have enough warm-up in advance and let them Only if Chinese fans know and understand this brand new brand that is about to enter the Chinese market will they be able to sell well!
Austin and Berg have been to the wholesale market in the Imperial Capital. They know how many pirated Lin Tian products there are in China. They must create a completely different momentum from the pirated ones to let everyone know: We AND 1 are the only authentic ones. !
Not to mention, judging from the contract price, the signing between Lin Tian and AND 1 can be said to be the largest sneaker contract in the entire league!
This huge gimmick must be grasped, and how to grasp it and how to hold this conference to maximize the benefits are what the entire AND 1 marketing, public relations and various departments have been discussing these days.
For this kind of thing, of course Lin Tian just spread his hands and said nothing. He was too lazy to worry about this kind of thing. In his previous life, he had already worried too much about so-called business and marketing. In this life, , you have to be a hands-off shopkeeper, you have to not care about anything, you have to be happy and make money easily!
AND 1 didn't let Lin Tian wait too long. On the third day after arriving in New York, this massive press conference officially started!
The venue for their press conference was not a conference room, an arena, or any other place, but the number one streetball mecca in the United States: Rucker Park!
This is the holy land for young streetball players in the United States. Countless famous streetball players have been born here, and countless people have made a name for themselves here and are famous throughout the United States!
Not to mention that there are many people who first made a name for themselves in Rucker Park and then entered high school and college to become a part of the NBA!
Rafe Alston, Stephon Marbury, Sebastian Telfair, TJ Ford, Jamal Tinsley…
These guys who have made their names in the NBA, established a foothold in the NBA, and made a name for themselves all have a background in Rucker Park and have played here!
The teenagers who play in Locke take these older brothers who have successfully entered the NBA as role models and idols, and work hard to play, hoping that one day they can reach the top of their lives!
As early as the 40s, Locke Park was already a streetball mecca for young Americans. A teacher named Holcombe Locke wanted to keep the children away from the dirty streets and away from guns, gangs, drugs and other gadgets. Son, he founded a summer basketball league. It was this move that made countless young Americans put down their guns and pick up basketball!
It was from that time that the park was named Locke and became a sacred place in the hearts of countless people.
Although Rucker Park is the holy land of streetball in the United States, it is also located in Harlem, the dirtiest and messiest district in New York. It has the most developed rap music in the United States, the most beautiful and wild street graffiti, and street artists can be seen everywhere.
But what cannot be ignored is that this is also a restricted area for whites and yellow people. It has the highest crime rate in New York and an extremely chaotic environment. Gangs here are complex and violence is rampant. Only black people and the purest are welcome here. Street basketball.
To put it simply, it's very confusing here.
But AND 1 still chose this place as the venue for the press conference, because Austin and the others know very well that AND 1 is a brand based on the streets, and the streets are everything to them!If you choose to hold the press conference in a tall conference room or somewhere, of course there is no problem.
But then, it would not be AND 1!
On the afternoon of the press conference, Lin Tian was sitting in the car prepared for him by AND 1, wearing AND 1's signature large trash-talking T-shirt and O'Neal's huge shorts that would not look too small in them, plus a very The arrogant bull red turban, as the saying goes, do as the Romans do. Although there are no large tattoos, Lin Tian's equipment at the moment is also very street-like.
A complete equipment party!
"Are you nervous, Lin?" Pelinka swallowed, looking at the unfriendly black people outside the car, his hands were shaking a little: "This is my first time entering Harlem, I heard it's pretty good here, isn't it? What? When I was in Michigan, I was friends with many black people."
"Relax my friend, we are here to provide them with benefits, not to fight against them. Why are you so afraid? Don't you know that Austin made their fortune on the streets and became the founder of a brand on the streets? ?”
"Actually, it's our first time to come to Harlem." Austin thought for a while, but chose to confess honestly: "It's our first time here, but we think there should be no problem! We found a lot of security guards Staff, it should be fine.”
"Should?!" This time it was Lin Tian's turn to stare wide-eyed. These three brothers, before such an important day, actually said the word "should" to Lin Tian?
Are you trying to push me, Mr. Lin, into the pit of fire?
"How sure are you guys?" Pelinka couldn't hold back and asked again: "How about I call Chris and Zhuwang? They should have a relationship in Locke."
"It's impossible for the two of them to teleport from Washington now." Lin Tian sighed, pressed the phone in Pelinka's hand and said: "The cars have stopped. Unless we turn around and run now, it will be too late. Don’t worry, leave it to me, I will take care of everything!”
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he patted Pelinka's nervous head, opened the door, and walked straight out of the car.
"Get out of here Locke! Damn Chicago!"
"You're not welcome here! You owe the Knicks a championship!"
"Get out!"
"We'll fuck you to death!"
"Trash! Sissy! There is no referee here to protect you!"
"Trash! You will be beaten up by our golfers! You will be completely pushed to the ground and rubbed!"
As soon as he got off the car, what greeted Lin Tian was not cheers and shouts, let alone a carnival to welcome his idol, but abuses and boos!Crazy abuse and catcalls!
"Oops! I forgot that Lin just eliminated the Knicks in the playoffs!" Berg looked a little pale and couldn't help but muttered.
His words almost made Lin Tian want to push him to the ground and beat him up.
Damn it, what do you mean you forgot?
I thought you had it all figured out!
However, as soon as it comes, it is safe.
Lin Tian didn't believe that he was really carrying it like this. He was just here to hold a press conference. How could he be killed directly?
How fanatical a New York fan is to be able to take a shot directly in the crowd!
However, facing the crazy boos and curses at the scene, Lin Tian also knew that today's press conference was not going to go well!
So, he decided to throw all the processes, previous preparations, and scripts behind him.
Go to Nima's!
If Austin and the others could rely on them, this situation wouldn't be happening now!
Walking three steps and two steps to the all-American stadium in Locke Park, Lin Tian looked at the bare signature basket without a net, and directly grabbed the microphone from the host's hand.
"Quiet! Everyone, quiet!" Lin Tian, who was dressed in street gear, jumped onto the long table originally used for the press conference very arrogantly and shouted to the crazy crowds from all directions: "You want to avenge the Knicks? , want to kill me, want to prove that you are the best, right?"
"Not bad!"
"Kill you!"
"We have at least 20 people here who can defeat you!"
"Where do you think this is? This is Locke! There are more people here who can defeat you than there are stars in the sky!"
"Very good, then let your most powerful guy come out first! Let's have some fun first! How about we get down to business later? It doesn't matter if it's 5 on 5 or one on one, just follow your Locke rules! After the fight, let’s get down to business!”
"By the way, you don't know what the main business of my coming here is today, right?"
Having said this, Lin Tian pointed to the huge LOGO on the scarf on his head and said: "AND 1! The best street brand in the United States! Born for the streets, born for freedom, creativity, individuality and each of you. brand! No matter who of you comes out and gets beaten by me later, you all have to remember today’s protagonist, AND 1!”
Lin Tian's words caused the fans who had gathered around them to boo wildly. But apart from the boos, the order at the entire scene was still very bad. No one stood up, and some just One after another boos and curses!
"I said, don't you have a person in charge? No one can make the decision and stand up on your behalf? No one? If you are in such a mess and no one has the final say, then I will leave! "
Just as Lin Tian continued to provoke without scruples, a somewhat thin figure finally came out, stood in front of everyone, and then stretched out his hand to ask everyone to keep quiet.
This guy was obviously very prestigious. The black people at the scene immediately obeyed and shut up.
The host, who had turned into a mascot, immediately walked over and handed him a microphone.
"You think you can do anything, you think you can beat everyone here, you think you can sweep everything by winning the NBA championship, huh?"
Lin Tian smiled and said: "First of all, I don't think I am omnipotent, but you, Alston, do you think you are omnipotent? Do you think you are invincible because you have never lost in Locke? "
"Do you know me?" Alston was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that a yellow man who had just played in the NBA for a year could know him!
There was no Internet in this era, nor were there so many game videos and highlights later.
The so-called fame of many basketball geniuses is limited to being famous in their own neighborhood.
A person like Alston who dares to directly call him the New York Streetball King has become a legend in the entire streetball circle. He has convinced countless people. Other than him, no matter how arrogant and scary the nickname is, , but the most they can do is call them Manhattan Streetball King, Brooklyn Streetball King, Queens Streetball King, etc.
Alston's extraordinary status in the New York streetball circle can be seen from his nickname alone.
"Of course I know you. Not only do I know you, I also know many people at the scene!" Lin Tian took the microphone and scanned the scene. His target was those who were surrounded by a group of people and looked like his eldest brother. Characters, he believed, those guys who later became famous in the NBA must now be surrounded by stars and surrounded by everyone.
"Lamar Odom! Jamal Tinsley! Sebastian Telfair! And you, Ron Artest!" Lin Tian called out several names that will be played in the future. The names of the guys who joined the NBA in the past two years, and then said: "Do you really think that I don't take you seriously?"
"On the contrary, I am here today because Rucker Park is the dream of all basketball people and a holy place for everyone! I respect this place and I respect you too! But the premise is..."
When Lin Tian said this, he suddenly paused and said:
"Don't let me down. Don't let me find out that you don't deserve my respect at all!"
After Lin Tian's words, the scene immediately erupted into bursts of crazy boos. Some impulsive people even started to rush into the security guard, wanting to come over and give Lin Tian a good look.
"Is it true that nothing will happen if Lin does this?" Austin swallowed. He thought all sports brands in the United States were uncool, and indeed he preferred street culture, but he didn't like being surrounded by hundreds of people. , and everyone is eyeing them covetously.
"Probably... no." Berg was not much better, but pulled Gilbert, who was in charge of security, and said, "Are you sure there is no problem with security?"
"A security team of 30 people, I think..." Halfway through the words, Gilbert shook his head, and then continued: "I'll call now and find 30 more people!"
"Fifty people!" Pelinka, who had been silent, said, "I can pay for it!"
On the court, Alston once again reached out to stop the boos of the black brothers behind him, picked up the microphone and said: "I am very happy that you know us, and I believe my brothers are also very happy, but can we respect you? , you’ll have to fight to find out!”
"Of course, you won't know until after the fight." Lin Tian said with a smile: "It all follows your rules, any number of pairs is fine!"
"Bullfighting, you and me, 11 points, change of serve!" Alston was not wordy. After a few very simple words, the whole Rucker Park was excited!Their leader is going to war!Moreover, he was not afraid of strong enemies from the beginning and went straight to fight!
"Fuck him Raff! You're the best!"
"Let this kid know how powerful Rucker Park is!"
"Let him lie on the court!"
"I beat him until he knelt down and begged for mercy!"
"Transmit his soul!"
The fans roared loudly in celebration, and Lin Tian jumped off the table and walked in front of Pelinka and the others.
"Lin, are you sure? If it doesn't work, just let them go and make them happy, and then we'll finish the press conference and be done with it!" Pelinka said worriedly when he saw Lin Tian coming over.
"Release? Lose?" Lin Tian couldn't help laughing: "If I lose, let's not hold a press conference today, I'm afraid I will be laughed at and crawl out! Not only do I have to win, but I can't be hit with any back, If you can win by shooting, which is a special skill of professional players, I have to use their methods to beat them."
"Otherwise, our press conference will be a complete joke! Here, only winning, and only the strong can win respect and gain the right to speak."
"If you win, will they become angry and get even worse? I really regret slapping my forehead and coming here to hold a press conference." Austin's face now lacks his confidence and The fool was fooled, and he was sweating on his forehead.
"It's possible." Lin Tian nodded solemnly and said, "No one knows whether they are being reasonable or not. They may indeed become angry from shame. So..." Lin Tian looked at several people and said, "Gilbert , aren’t you in charge of security? Find more people, at least 100 people!”
"Begg, get to the car. Keep the ignition on and be ready to run away at any time. Rob, Austin, you two adapt accordingly. And, one last thing... where are my new shoes?"
Well, Lin Tian has actually never seen that legendary new signature shoe until now.
For the sake of mystery, several people from AND 1 did not leak any Reuters photos or spy photos before the new shoes were released. Even Lin Tian had never seen them.
But now, it is obviously not the time to follow the process and plan step by step.
Seeing the shoe closure handed over by Austin, Lin Tian took it and opened it directly.
Oops!Isn't this 'Tai Chi'?
Lin Tian recognized these shoes at just one glance!
One of the most classic shoes of AND 1. During the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, Vince Carter wore this pair of shoes and completed several super dunks that can be called century dunks!
Unexpectedly, for Lin Tian, this shoe was released 4 years in advance!
A very coquettish red and black color scheme, and it is not the traditional design method of one color as the main color and another color as an auxiliary, but a very coquettish one, half red and half black, with no distinction between primary and secondary colors, left and right. Half of that combination!This very avant-garde design is also the biggest reason why this pair of shoes can be recognized by Lin Tian at a glance. How can anyone not remember this pair of shoes because they are so coquettish?
"Lin, the design concept of this pair of shoes came from the two of us in Huaxia Park and saw the old people doing Tai Chi! Yin and Yang harmonize, heaven and earth complement each other, so we also call this pair of shoes 'Tai Chi'! Of course. , the more official name is AND 1 LIN generation sneakers!"
"Let's call it Tai Chi." Lin Tian didn't think much, and put on the most classic sneakers of AND 1 on his feet. He jumped a few times and felt the cushioning and feel of the sneakers. Tian walked onto the court.
Alston, who was only slightly shorter than Lin Tian but weighed at least 10 kilograms less, was standing there, his face full of defiance and arrogance.
"You are a guest, you serve first. I don't want to be said to bully outsiders!" Alston threw the ball to Lin Tiandao: "Come on, use what you are best at, a post-up single or a 3-point direct shot?"
"Looking at you, I thought you never went to school. I didn't expect you to talk trash?" Lin Tian held the ball and smiled: "I hope your skills are as tough as your mouth, otherwise I will Too disappointed."
Seeing Alston lowering his center of gravity and putting his whole body on guard for defense, Lin Tian didn't say much, just holding the basketball on the spot was just a mess!
Well, it's the kind of action that looks fancy, elegant, gorgeous and changeable, but is of no use at all.
I, Lin Daguan, am also a professional player. I am just doing a few tricks. How can I lose to you street guys?
Then, after a useless move that Lin Tian felt was very embarrassing, but which caused many people at the scene to exclaim, Lin Tian suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back to attract Alston's center of gravity change, and then turned around very quickly. Just leave Alstom behind!
"boom!"
After a bang, Lin Tian passed Alston and easily dunked with both hands!
"It's your turn, don't let me down." Lin Tian gave the ball to Alston, also lowering his center of gravity and preparing to defend.
then……
Alston was also a flurry of meaningless, messy, dizzying but impossible-to-pass dribbling in place.
It has to be said that the physical exertion of playing street ball is actually quite high.
But at least half of it was wasted on meaningless dribbling and posing in place.
Alston's fake moves are useless to someone like Lin Tian who has already established himself in the NBA, can be called a top starter for a strong team, and can even compete as the team boss for some weak teams. use.
Lin Tian simply cooperated with the cheers and shouts of the fans at the scene, patiently waiting for the moment when Alston was about to officially start the breakthrough mode after the show, and suddenly took out the ball.
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound...the basketball came into Lin Tian's hands neatly.
The gap between even the top street ball players and professional players is huge!
Alston, who has not yet begun to receive formal basketball training and has not yet been exposed to the serious professional basketball circle, no matter how hard he is in the street ball circle, he is invincible, and Lin Tian, who is completely overwhelmed by his height, weight, speed and agility, is also There is no way to fight back.
That is to say, Lin Tian was afraid that if Alston was blocked, he would really anger the group of Angry Birds-like guys around him, so he quietly released some water, and Alston's own 3-point explosion After planting two, the two scored 11:8 in the end. It looked like they were evenly matched!
But Alston himself knows that the gap between himself and Lin Tian is not just a ball.
If Lin Tian was really serious, he would really be zero-blocked. At that time, the title of 'New York Street Ball King' he had worked so hard to earn would become a joke.
A person who can play a rotation in the NBA and has been around for more than ten years will definitely not be a guy with a flat head who thinks he is invincible without any scruples. Therefore, after the one-on-one challenge, Alston didn’t say much, but picked up the The microphone said cleanly: "Great fight! Lin, you are very strong! But I will never lose next time!"
In response to Alston's praise, Lin Tian did not do any tricks this time. He would not say anything like "I will give you another chance for revenge" at this time.
Showing off depends on the occasion.
So Lin Tian raised his hand and enjoyed the cheers and shouts at the scene. Although he knows how many of these cheers were for him and how many were for Alston, who could afford to lose, Lin Tian didn't care. Anyway, I came here today purely to promote my new shoes.
"How about another 5VS5?" Lin Tian is not here to make anyone stand down today. He is here to make money. Therefore, he did not give Alstom face at all, but said with a smile, let's play another round!
"How to choose someone?" Alston asked curiously.
"You choose your best brothers to form a team, and I, how about randomly selecting four lucky audience members?" After Lin Tian finished speaking, he turned around again and jumped on the one used for the press conference, but from beginning to end it was An unused table, yelling, "Who wants to team up with me?"
After shouting this sentence, there were very few responders at the scene.
Almost everyone is looking at Alstom, and they all prefer to team with Alstom.
"If you join my team and win, each person will get a pair of AND 1's latest sneakers and a full set of sports equipment! If you want, I can even sign it!" Seeing that no one responded, Lin Tian quickly said I would like to add that as soon as this sentence is said, the scene immediately changes.
At least 90% of the people in the audience raised their hands and shouted:
"Choose me! Choose me! Choose me! Choose me!"
real!
People of New York, he is real!
Standing on the table, Lin Tian looked at the hundreds of spectators shouting and finally felt a sense of relief!
No wonder Hanamichi Sakuragi likes to stand on the technical stage and talk. It feels so good for him!
Originally, Lin Tian wanted to choose Odom, Artest or Tinsley to team up with him, but before he could find these guys, he found that they were all siding with Alston. behind.
Good guys, you two have directly joined forces, right?
Therefore, Lin Tian could only randomly pick three people on the court based on his eyesight. Just when he was about to randomly pick another one, Lin Tian suddenly discovered a completely different person, a white man!
In a place like Rucker Park, a white man is definitely much rarer than a giant panda.
How can a serious white person dare to come to a place like this?
Of course, the white man in front of Lin Tian couldn't be compared to seriousness no matter how he looked at it.
Teddy's eyes are as if everyone in the world owes him money. In addition, this guy has a pair of tattoos of flying dragons and magic hands that are not dense but very arrogant. No matter he No matter what his skin color, no one would regard him as a serious person.
Lin Tian recognized this young white man with an angry face at a glance and wanted to beat everyone up. His tattoos of a flying dragon and a magic hand were so recognizable.
'White Chocolate' Jason Williams!
A guy who has played in the NBA for 10 years, and whose highest honor is the All-Rookie First Team, an iron king whose best yearly average is only 14 points and 8 assists, but whose shooting percentage cannot exceed 40% all year round.
But even though this guy has never made an All-Star appearance in his life, has never been the boss of any team, and his style of play is resented by 90% of coaches in the league, to some extent, he is the most unique player in NBA history. Guy!
A crazy guy who is full of tricks and just wants to show off his own style. A genius who likes to chase 21-pointers at the beginning of the 3st century and gave his coach a huge headache. A guy who is still talked about 10 years after retiring, a performing artist recognized by all fans as the most suitable for the All-Star stage!
Even in the first decade of the 21st century, there are countless talents in the league, and there are guards of various styles, including Kidd who is good at defense, Nash who can attack, crazy Davis, and Iverson who is good at scoring. , the unruly Marbury, the stable Miller...
Even though there are so many top point guards in this decade, some of these people are MVPs, some lead the team in the finals, some won FMVP, and some completed the miracle of black eight.
But when it comes to uniqueness and unparalleled charm, none of them are as good as 'White Chocolate' Williams!
A short story can illustrate how charming Williams' style of play is. According to legend, God knows 100 ways to pass the ball. Kidd learned the 50 most secure ones, and Nash learned the 50 most elegant ones. The magician learned 99 tricks by himself!
When it came to Williams, he said he wanted to learn the 101st way to pass the ball!
What he pursues is always to be different!
One-handed, hitting the ground, behind the back, not looking at people, fake shots and real passes, and that magnificent elbow pass...
It can be said that Williams' passing is almost perfect except for the many mistakes, which the coach can't stand, and his teammates who are worried that he won't be able to catch it when he suddenly passes it.
If Kidd's passing is like a documentary, and Nash's passing is like a war movie, then Williams' passing... is the kind of mindless movie!
It’s just cool!It’s so transparent!
It will make your adrenaline soar after watching it!
"You! Are you Williams from Dupont High School?" Lin Tian pointed at Williams: "Let's play a game together?"
"Don't play, I am a point guard, and my position conflicts with you." To everyone's expectation, for such a good opportunity, this kid didn't even think about it, and just shook his head and refused.
"I can play No. 2! How about you play No. [-]?" Lin Tian smiled and stretched out his hand: "I have watched your game, no, I should say I love your game! Come on, show off. ! Let everyone see your style and abilities!"
When Lin Tian said this, Williams had no reason to refuse, and it was impossible for him to refuse!
Williams is now at a low point in his life.
It stands to reason that he should now be racing in the NCAA arena and show off his talents and abilities on a larger stage.
However, the University of Providence he chose experienced personnel changes. His mentor, Coach Barnes, left, so Williams quickly transferred to the University of Marshall. However, in his first year at the University of Marshall, due to his status as a transfer student, Unable to participate in the game.
After sitting on the bench for a year, Williams was just about to make his debut when his mentor at Marshall University, Billy Donovan, left again. This time, Williams, who values love and loyalty, chose to transfer again. , followed Donovan to the University of Florida.
But the second transfer means that Williams will still not be able to play next season!
In the first two seasons of college, he didn't even play in a regular NCAA game!
You know, when he was in high school, he was a recognized five-star high school student with a lottery-level prospect. But seeing that Stoudemire, Stackhouse and others who were in the same grade as him at that time had already made a name for themselves in the NBA, he But he was still wasting his time in college.
Williams, who is proud and arrogant, is not sad, confused or hesitant?That is impossible!
Now Williams needs a chance!
I need an opportunity to be seen and recognized again, and to come to the stage again!
Even if he cannot gain recognition from the mainstream basketball circle, he still wants to gain some fame in the streetball circle!Williams, who was extremely pessimistic, had begun to feel that he might not be able to play in the NBA at all!
Therefore, when Lin Tian said, "You come and play the No. [-] position," Williams no longer hesitated and directly joined Lin Tian's team!
"Our tactics are very simple. Give the ball to Jason and let others run. Go to the positions you are good at. Come on, tell me what you are good at."
"I can jump and dunk!"
"I can also jump and dunk."
"I can jump better than them and I can dunk."
Good guy!
Lin Tian called him "good guy, have you found three members of the track and field team to play basketball?"
However, Williams showed a confident expression on his face and said: "Just look for opportunities and run inside. Once the position is reached, the basketball will definitely be there! Lin, you..."
"I'm watching your performance. I'm not very good at dunking. I'll just stand outside the 3-point line." Lin Tian shrugged, saying that today's place is all yours!
Lin Tian knows that Williams is currently at a low point in his basketball career. Of course, he will not be so kind to help Williams find confidence and form. What Lin Tian wants is Williams' skill package!
He really wants it!
Let me ask you, as long as you are a basketball player in this world, who doesn’t want to have Williams’ passing package?Who wouldn't want to be as coquettish and gorgeous as him?
Just like no man can refuse a Danai sister, everyone who likes to play basketball can't refuse Williams' passing skill package!
Doesn’t that singer on the other side of the ocean who likes to drink milk tea always feel that he is China Williams?
For Lin Tian, even if the chance is not great, even if the probability is very low, he must give it a try. He must try to see if he can get Williams' skills!
He makes a profit if he takes the blood, but he doesn't lose if he doesn't get it!
Soon, after both teams put on a full set of AND 1 equipment, 10 players took to the Rucker Park stadium, which symbolizes the highest honor of the streets.
On the Alston team, it consists of Alston, Telfair, Artest, Odom and Marion!Five of them are actually future NBA players!These five people almost represent the highest level of Rock Park. They are definitely elites and gave their best!
On Lin Tian's side, Lin Tian and Williams partnered in the backcourt, plus three black guys who looked like they could fly dunks. Lin Tian was really too lazy to ask their names.
Anyway, if Lin Tian can't recognize him now, then there is a high probability that these three brothers have no ability.
Well, although he said he had no skills, Lin Tian's buddy who was about 205 centimeters tall and played the No. 5 position actually defeated Marion directly with his terrifying jumping ability when jumping the ball!
This is a spring man who is famous even in the NBA!
After the basketball was placed in Williams' hands, this guy faced Alston's defense and didn't even move the basketball. Instead, he threw it forward with both hands. The basketball directly crossed half the court and flew to the goal. Alston's basket.
"boom!"
After a loud noise, Lin Tian's players hung their hands on the basket and completed an alley-oop dunk that shocked everyone!
"That's my brother! The Crusher! He can crush every opponent and every basket!"
A spectator shouted excitedly, introducing the player who successfully dunked to everyone.
This dunk was like opening the key to Pandora's box!
From this first ball, the rhythm and style of the entire game... were completely determined!
crazy!Extremely crazy!
One after another, a group of people showed off their gorgeous, changeable, fancy and beautiful dribbling, and then went to the basket again and again to complete various dunks or coordination!
Odom, who is 208 centimeters tall but has guard skills, Artest, who has a body like a beast and does not match the street court style at all, Marion, who can fly dunks, is extremely fast and flexible, plus Rucker Park. The backcourt duo of Alston and Telfair.
Each of the five members of the Alston team is the king of this park, and each has a very high popularity. Every move they make can cause the fans to scream wildly!
And Lin Tian was not bad at all!
Williams became the core of the team. He launched the attack on every ball, while the others surrounded him, constantly running, covering, making some simple cooperation, and then rushing towards the basket.
Williams showed his unparalleled talent and style!
Every pass he makes can cause bursts of screams and cheers from the fans!
Behind-the-back passes, one-handed ground passes, super long-distance alley-oops, two-hand passes without looking at people, behind-the-crotch passes, false passes in the air after breakthroughs, behind-the-back passes after jumping...
One crazy pass after another was passed by Williams one after another. Just listen to the cheers of the audience and you will know that with this game alone, Williams will become the most popular player in the new generation of Rucker Park. Players!
Even though he is a white man, even before this game, almost no one at the scene knew him!
But his playing style has this kind of magic!
(End of this chapter)
After climbing the ladder, Lin Tian did not stay in Los Angeles for too long. He just practiced with Kobe and Magic for a few more days before setting off for New York.
When going to New York at this time, of course there is only one thing to do, and that is his contract with AND 1, which is finally going to be announced. AND 1 has prepared a grand press conference!
The reason why it took so long to announce the details of the cooperation is not that the contract details need to be studied, but that the three founders of AND 1 must make Lin Tian's sneakers before they are willing to announce theirs. cooperate.
To put it simply, the signing press conference and the sneaker press conference are held together!
During this period, the AND 1 trio were developing new sneakers while frantically contacting the media. They wanted to make this cooperation as big as possible and make this press conference as loud as possible throughout the United States!
Not only the United States, the three of them also contacted Su Qun, hoping that Su Qun would also send someone to interview them, and that Su Qun could use a huge page of the Pioneer newspaper to cover this conference.
After all, the reason why these three guys are willing to give Lin Tian so much money is because of his influence in China!
Although the retail store in China still needs to be negotiated and there are still a lot of procedures to go through. AND 1 will not be able to have its first retail store in China until the end of the year at the earliest, but they must also have enough warm-up in advance and let them Only if Chinese fans know and understand this brand new brand that is about to enter the Chinese market will they be able to sell well!
Austin and Berg have been to the wholesale market in the Imperial Capital. They know how many pirated Lin Tian products there are in China. They must create a completely different momentum from the pirated ones to let everyone know: We AND 1 are the only authentic ones. !
Not to mention, judging from the contract price, the signing between Lin Tian and AND 1 can be said to be the largest sneaker contract in the entire league!
This huge gimmick must be grasped, and how to grasp it and how to hold this conference to maximize the benefits are what the entire AND 1 marketing, public relations and various departments have been discussing these days.
For this kind of thing, of course Lin Tian just spread his hands and said nothing. He was too lazy to worry about this kind of thing. In his previous life, he had already worried too much about so-called business and marketing. In this life, , you have to be a hands-off shopkeeper, you have to not care about anything, you have to be happy and make money easily!
AND 1 didn't let Lin Tian wait too long. On the third day after arriving in New York, this massive press conference officially started!
The venue for their press conference was not a conference room, an arena, or any other place, but the number one streetball mecca in the United States: Rucker Park!
This is the holy land for young streetball players in the United States. Countless famous streetball players have been born here, and countless people have made a name for themselves here and are famous throughout the United States!
Not to mention that there are many people who first made a name for themselves in Rucker Park and then entered high school and college to become a part of the NBA!
Rafe Alston, Stephon Marbury, Sebastian Telfair, TJ Ford, Jamal Tinsley…
These guys who have made their names in the NBA, established a foothold in the NBA, and made a name for themselves all have a background in Rucker Park and have played here!
The teenagers who play in Locke take these older brothers who have successfully entered the NBA as role models and idols, and work hard to play, hoping that one day they can reach the top of their lives!
As early as the 40s, Locke Park was already a streetball mecca for young Americans. A teacher named Holcombe Locke wanted to keep the children away from the dirty streets and away from guns, gangs, drugs and other gadgets. Son, he founded a summer basketball league. It was this move that made countless young Americans put down their guns and pick up basketball!
It was from that time that the park was named Locke and became a sacred place in the hearts of countless people.
Although Rucker Park is the holy land of streetball in the United States, it is also located in Harlem, the dirtiest and messiest district in New York. It has the most developed rap music in the United States, the most beautiful and wild street graffiti, and street artists can be seen everywhere.
But what cannot be ignored is that this is also a restricted area for whites and yellow people. It has the highest crime rate in New York and an extremely chaotic environment. Gangs here are complex and violence is rampant. Only black people and the purest are welcome here. Street basketball.
To put it simply, it's very confusing here.
But AND 1 still chose this place as the venue for the press conference, because Austin and the others know very well that AND 1 is a brand based on the streets, and the streets are everything to them!If you choose to hold the press conference in a tall conference room or somewhere, of course there is no problem.
But then, it would not be AND 1!
On the afternoon of the press conference, Lin Tian was sitting in the car prepared for him by AND 1, wearing AND 1's signature large trash-talking T-shirt and O'Neal's huge shorts that would not look too small in them, plus a very The arrogant bull red turban, as the saying goes, do as the Romans do. Although there are no large tattoos, Lin Tian's equipment at the moment is also very street-like.
A complete equipment party!
"Are you nervous, Lin?" Pelinka swallowed, looking at the unfriendly black people outside the car, his hands were shaking a little: "This is my first time entering Harlem, I heard it's pretty good here, isn't it? What? When I was in Michigan, I was friends with many black people."
"Relax my friend, we are here to provide them with benefits, not to fight against them. Why are you so afraid? Don't you know that Austin made their fortune on the streets and became the founder of a brand on the streets? ?”
"Actually, it's our first time to come to Harlem." Austin thought for a while, but chose to confess honestly: "It's our first time here, but we think there should be no problem! We found a lot of security guards Staff, it should be fine.”
"Should?!" This time it was Lin Tian's turn to stare wide-eyed. These three brothers, before such an important day, actually said the word "should" to Lin Tian?
Are you trying to push me, Mr. Lin, into the pit of fire?
"How sure are you guys?" Pelinka couldn't hold back and asked again: "How about I call Chris and Zhuwang? They should have a relationship in Locke."
"It's impossible for the two of them to teleport from Washington now." Lin Tian sighed, pressed the phone in Pelinka's hand and said: "The cars have stopped. Unless we turn around and run now, it will be too late. Don’t worry, leave it to me, I will take care of everything!”
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he patted Pelinka's nervous head, opened the door, and walked straight out of the car.
"Get out of here Locke! Damn Chicago!"
"You're not welcome here! You owe the Knicks a championship!"
"Get out!"
"We'll fuck you to death!"
"Trash! Sissy! There is no referee here to protect you!"
"Trash! You will be beaten up by our golfers! You will be completely pushed to the ground and rubbed!"
As soon as he got off the car, what greeted Lin Tian was not cheers and shouts, let alone a carnival to welcome his idol, but abuses and boos!Crazy abuse and catcalls!
"Oops! I forgot that Lin just eliminated the Knicks in the playoffs!" Berg looked a little pale and couldn't help but muttered.
His words almost made Lin Tian want to push him to the ground and beat him up.
Damn it, what do you mean you forgot?
I thought you had it all figured out!
However, as soon as it comes, it is safe.
Lin Tian didn't believe that he was really carrying it like this. He was just here to hold a press conference. How could he be killed directly?
How fanatical a New York fan is to be able to take a shot directly in the crowd!
However, facing the crazy boos and curses at the scene, Lin Tian also knew that today's press conference was not going to go well!
So, he decided to throw all the processes, previous preparations, and scripts behind him.
Go to Nima's!
If Austin and the others could rely on them, this situation wouldn't be happening now!
Walking three steps and two steps to the all-American stadium in Locke Park, Lin Tian looked at the bare signature basket without a net, and directly grabbed the microphone from the host's hand.
"Quiet! Everyone, quiet!" Lin Tian, who was dressed in street gear, jumped onto the long table originally used for the press conference very arrogantly and shouted to the crazy crowds from all directions: "You want to avenge the Knicks? , want to kill me, want to prove that you are the best, right?"
"Not bad!"
"Kill you!"
"We have at least 20 people here who can defeat you!"
"Where do you think this is? This is Locke! There are more people here who can defeat you than there are stars in the sky!"
"Very good, then let your most powerful guy come out first! Let's have some fun first! How about we get down to business later? It doesn't matter if it's 5 on 5 or one on one, just follow your Locke rules! After the fight, let’s get down to business!”
"By the way, you don't know what the main business of my coming here is today, right?"
Having said this, Lin Tian pointed to the huge LOGO on the scarf on his head and said: "AND 1! The best street brand in the United States! Born for the streets, born for freedom, creativity, individuality and each of you. brand! No matter who of you comes out and gets beaten by me later, you all have to remember today’s protagonist, AND 1!”
Lin Tian's words caused the fans who had gathered around them to boo wildly. But apart from the boos, the order at the entire scene was still very bad. No one stood up, and some just One after another boos and curses!
"I said, don't you have a person in charge? No one can make the decision and stand up on your behalf? No one? If you are in such a mess and no one has the final say, then I will leave! "
Just as Lin Tian continued to provoke without scruples, a somewhat thin figure finally came out, stood in front of everyone, and then stretched out his hand to ask everyone to keep quiet.
This guy was obviously very prestigious. The black people at the scene immediately obeyed and shut up.
The host, who had turned into a mascot, immediately walked over and handed him a microphone.
"You think you can do anything, you think you can beat everyone here, you think you can sweep everything by winning the NBA championship, huh?"
Lin Tian smiled and said: "First of all, I don't think I am omnipotent, but you, Alston, do you think you are omnipotent? Do you think you are invincible because you have never lost in Locke? "
"Do you know me?" Alston was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that a yellow man who had just played in the NBA for a year could know him!
There was no Internet in this era, nor were there so many game videos and highlights later.
The so-called fame of many basketball geniuses is limited to being famous in their own neighborhood.
A person like Alston who dares to directly call him the New York Streetball King has become a legend in the entire streetball circle. He has convinced countless people. Other than him, no matter how arrogant and scary the nickname is, , but the most they can do is call them Manhattan Streetball King, Brooklyn Streetball King, Queens Streetball King, etc.
Alston's extraordinary status in the New York streetball circle can be seen from his nickname alone.
"Of course I know you. Not only do I know you, I also know many people at the scene!" Lin Tian took the microphone and scanned the scene. His target was those who were surrounded by a group of people and looked like his eldest brother. Characters, he believed, those guys who later became famous in the NBA must now be surrounded by stars and surrounded by everyone.
"Lamar Odom! Jamal Tinsley! Sebastian Telfair! And you, Ron Artest!" Lin Tian called out several names that will be played in the future. The names of the guys who joined the NBA in the past two years, and then said: "Do you really think that I don't take you seriously?"
"On the contrary, I am here today because Rucker Park is the dream of all basketball people and a holy place for everyone! I respect this place and I respect you too! But the premise is..."
When Lin Tian said this, he suddenly paused and said:
"Don't let me down. Don't let me find out that you don't deserve my respect at all!"
After Lin Tian's words, the scene immediately erupted into bursts of crazy boos. Some impulsive people even started to rush into the security guard, wanting to come over and give Lin Tian a good look.
"Is it true that nothing will happen if Lin does this?" Austin swallowed. He thought all sports brands in the United States were uncool, and indeed he preferred street culture, but he didn't like being surrounded by hundreds of people. , and everyone is eyeing them covetously.
"Probably... no." Berg was not much better, but pulled Gilbert, who was in charge of security, and said, "Are you sure there is no problem with security?"
"A security team of 30 people, I think..." Halfway through the words, Gilbert shook his head, and then continued: "I'll call now and find 30 more people!"
"Fifty people!" Pelinka, who had been silent, said, "I can pay for it!"
On the court, Alston once again reached out to stop the boos of the black brothers behind him, picked up the microphone and said: "I am very happy that you know us, and I believe my brothers are also very happy, but can we respect you? , you’ll have to fight to find out!”
"Of course, you won't know until after the fight." Lin Tian said with a smile: "It all follows your rules, any number of pairs is fine!"
"Bullfighting, you and me, 11 points, change of serve!" Alston was not wordy. After a few very simple words, the whole Rucker Park was excited!Their leader is going to war!Moreover, he was not afraid of strong enemies from the beginning and went straight to fight!
"Fuck him Raff! You're the best!"
"Let this kid know how powerful Rucker Park is!"
"Let him lie on the court!"
"I beat him until he knelt down and begged for mercy!"
"Transmit his soul!"
The fans roared loudly in celebration, and Lin Tian jumped off the table and walked in front of Pelinka and the others.
"Lin, are you sure? If it doesn't work, just let them go and make them happy, and then we'll finish the press conference and be done with it!" Pelinka said worriedly when he saw Lin Tian coming over.
"Release? Lose?" Lin Tian couldn't help laughing: "If I lose, let's not hold a press conference today, I'm afraid I will be laughed at and crawl out! Not only do I have to win, but I can't be hit with any back, If you can win by shooting, which is a special skill of professional players, I have to use their methods to beat them."
"Otherwise, our press conference will be a complete joke! Here, only winning, and only the strong can win respect and gain the right to speak."
"If you win, will they become angry and get even worse? I really regret slapping my forehead and coming here to hold a press conference." Austin's face now lacks his confidence and The fool was fooled, and he was sweating on his forehead.
"It's possible." Lin Tian nodded solemnly and said, "No one knows whether they are being reasonable or not. They may indeed become angry from shame. So..." Lin Tian looked at several people and said, "Gilbert , aren’t you in charge of security? Find more people, at least 100 people!”
"Begg, get to the car. Keep the ignition on and be ready to run away at any time. Rob, Austin, you two adapt accordingly. And, one last thing... where are my new shoes?"
Well, Lin Tian has actually never seen that legendary new signature shoe until now.
For the sake of mystery, several people from AND 1 did not leak any Reuters photos or spy photos before the new shoes were released. Even Lin Tian had never seen them.
But now, it is obviously not the time to follow the process and plan step by step.
Seeing the shoe closure handed over by Austin, Lin Tian took it and opened it directly.
Oops!Isn't this 'Tai Chi'?
Lin Tian recognized these shoes at just one glance!
One of the most classic shoes of AND 1. During the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, Vince Carter wore this pair of shoes and completed several super dunks that can be called century dunks!
Unexpectedly, for Lin Tian, this shoe was released 4 years in advance!
A very coquettish red and black color scheme, and it is not the traditional design method of one color as the main color and another color as an auxiliary, but a very coquettish one, half red and half black, with no distinction between primary and secondary colors, left and right. Half of that combination!This very avant-garde design is also the biggest reason why this pair of shoes can be recognized by Lin Tian at a glance. How can anyone not remember this pair of shoes because they are so coquettish?
"Lin, the design concept of this pair of shoes came from the two of us in Huaxia Park and saw the old people doing Tai Chi! Yin and Yang harmonize, heaven and earth complement each other, so we also call this pair of shoes 'Tai Chi'! Of course. , the more official name is AND 1 LIN generation sneakers!"
"Let's call it Tai Chi." Lin Tian didn't think much, and put on the most classic sneakers of AND 1 on his feet. He jumped a few times and felt the cushioning and feel of the sneakers. Tian walked onto the court.
Alston, who was only slightly shorter than Lin Tian but weighed at least 10 kilograms less, was standing there, his face full of defiance and arrogance.
"You are a guest, you serve first. I don't want to be said to bully outsiders!" Alston threw the ball to Lin Tiandao: "Come on, use what you are best at, a post-up single or a 3-point direct shot?"
"Looking at you, I thought you never went to school. I didn't expect you to talk trash?" Lin Tian held the ball and smiled: "I hope your skills are as tough as your mouth, otherwise I will Too disappointed."
Seeing Alston lowering his center of gravity and putting his whole body on guard for defense, Lin Tian didn't say much, just holding the basketball on the spot was just a mess!
Well, it's the kind of action that looks fancy, elegant, gorgeous and changeable, but is of no use at all.
I, Lin Daguan, am also a professional player. I am just doing a few tricks. How can I lose to you street guys?
Then, after a useless move that Lin Tian felt was very embarrassing, but which caused many people at the scene to exclaim, Lin Tian suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back to attract Alston's center of gravity change, and then turned around very quickly. Just leave Alstom behind!
"boom!"
After a bang, Lin Tian passed Alston and easily dunked with both hands!
"It's your turn, don't let me down." Lin Tian gave the ball to Alston, also lowering his center of gravity and preparing to defend.
then……
Alston was also a flurry of meaningless, messy, dizzying but impossible-to-pass dribbling in place.
It has to be said that the physical exertion of playing street ball is actually quite high.
But at least half of it was wasted on meaningless dribbling and posing in place.
Alston's fake moves are useless to someone like Lin Tian who has already established himself in the NBA, can be called a top starter for a strong team, and can even compete as the team boss for some weak teams. use.
Lin Tian simply cooperated with the cheers and shouts of the fans at the scene, patiently waiting for the moment when Alston was about to officially start the breakthrough mode after the show, and suddenly took out the ball.
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound...the basketball came into Lin Tian's hands neatly.
The gap between even the top street ball players and professional players is huge!
Alston, who has not yet begun to receive formal basketball training and has not yet been exposed to the serious professional basketball circle, no matter how hard he is in the street ball circle, he is invincible, and Lin Tian, who is completely overwhelmed by his height, weight, speed and agility, is also There is no way to fight back.
That is to say, Lin Tian was afraid that if Alston was blocked, he would really anger the group of Angry Birds-like guys around him, so he quietly released some water, and Alston's own 3-point explosion After planting two, the two scored 11:8 in the end. It looked like they were evenly matched!
But Alston himself knows that the gap between himself and Lin Tian is not just a ball.
If Lin Tian was really serious, he would really be zero-blocked. At that time, the title of 'New York Street Ball King' he had worked so hard to earn would become a joke.
A person who can play a rotation in the NBA and has been around for more than ten years will definitely not be a guy with a flat head who thinks he is invincible without any scruples. Therefore, after the one-on-one challenge, Alston didn’t say much, but picked up the The microphone said cleanly: "Great fight! Lin, you are very strong! But I will never lose next time!"
In response to Alston's praise, Lin Tian did not do any tricks this time. He would not say anything like "I will give you another chance for revenge" at this time.
Showing off depends on the occasion.
So Lin Tian raised his hand and enjoyed the cheers and shouts at the scene. Although he knows how many of these cheers were for him and how many were for Alston, who could afford to lose, Lin Tian didn't care. Anyway, I came here today purely to promote my new shoes.
"How about another 5VS5?" Lin Tian is not here to make anyone stand down today. He is here to make money. Therefore, he did not give Alstom face at all, but said with a smile, let's play another round!
"How to choose someone?" Alston asked curiously.
"You choose your best brothers to form a team, and I, how about randomly selecting four lucky audience members?" After Lin Tian finished speaking, he turned around again and jumped on the one used for the press conference, but from beginning to end it was An unused table, yelling, "Who wants to team up with me?"
After shouting this sentence, there were very few responders at the scene.
Almost everyone is looking at Alstom, and they all prefer to team with Alstom.
"If you join my team and win, each person will get a pair of AND 1's latest sneakers and a full set of sports equipment! If you want, I can even sign it!" Seeing that no one responded, Lin Tian quickly said I would like to add that as soon as this sentence is said, the scene immediately changes.
At least 90% of the people in the audience raised their hands and shouted:
"Choose me! Choose me! Choose me! Choose me!"
real!
People of New York, he is real!
Standing on the table, Lin Tian looked at the hundreds of spectators shouting and finally felt a sense of relief!
No wonder Hanamichi Sakuragi likes to stand on the technical stage and talk. It feels so good for him!
Originally, Lin Tian wanted to choose Odom, Artest or Tinsley to team up with him, but before he could find these guys, he found that they were all siding with Alston. behind.
Good guys, you two have directly joined forces, right?
Therefore, Lin Tian could only randomly pick three people on the court based on his eyesight. Just when he was about to randomly pick another one, Lin Tian suddenly discovered a completely different person, a white man!
In a place like Rucker Park, a white man is definitely much rarer than a giant panda.
How can a serious white person dare to come to a place like this?
Of course, the white man in front of Lin Tian couldn't be compared to seriousness no matter how he looked at it.
Teddy's eyes are as if everyone in the world owes him money. In addition, this guy has a pair of tattoos of flying dragons and magic hands that are not dense but very arrogant. No matter he No matter what his skin color, no one would regard him as a serious person.
Lin Tian recognized this young white man with an angry face at a glance and wanted to beat everyone up. His tattoos of a flying dragon and a magic hand were so recognizable.
'White Chocolate' Jason Williams!
A guy who has played in the NBA for 10 years, and whose highest honor is the All-Rookie First Team, an iron king whose best yearly average is only 14 points and 8 assists, but whose shooting percentage cannot exceed 40% all year round.
But even though this guy has never made an All-Star appearance in his life, has never been the boss of any team, and his style of play is resented by 90% of coaches in the league, to some extent, he is the most unique player in NBA history. Guy!
A crazy guy who is full of tricks and just wants to show off his own style. A genius who likes to chase 21-pointers at the beginning of the 3st century and gave his coach a huge headache. A guy who is still talked about 10 years after retiring, a performing artist recognized by all fans as the most suitable for the All-Star stage!
Even in the first decade of the 21st century, there are countless talents in the league, and there are guards of various styles, including Kidd who is good at defense, Nash who can attack, crazy Davis, and Iverson who is good at scoring. , the unruly Marbury, the stable Miller...
Even though there are so many top point guards in this decade, some of these people are MVPs, some lead the team in the finals, some won FMVP, and some completed the miracle of black eight.
But when it comes to uniqueness and unparalleled charm, none of them are as good as 'White Chocolate' Williams!
A short story can illustrate how charming Williams' style of play is. According to legend, God knows 100 ways to pass the ball. Kidd learned the 50 most secure ones, and Nash learned the 50 most elegant ones. The magician learned 99 tricks by himself!
When it came to Williams, he said he wanted to learn the 101st way to pass the ball!
What he pursues is always to be different!
One-handed, hitting the ground, behind the back, not looking at people, fake shots and real passes, and that magnificent elbow pass...
It can be said that Williams' passing is almost perfect except for the many mistakes, which the coach can't stand, and his teammates who are worried that he won't be able to catch it when he suddenly passes it.
If Kidd's passing is like a documentary, and Nash's passing is like a war movie, then Williams' passing... is the kind of mindless movie!
It’s just cool!It’s so transparent!
It will make your adrenaline soar after watching it!
"You! Are you Williams from Dupont High School?" Lin Tian pointed at Williams: "Let's play a game together?"
"Don't play, I am a point guard, and my position conflicts with you." To everyone's expectation, for such a good opportunity, this kid didn't even think about it, and just shook his head and refused.
"I can play No. 2! How about you play No. [-]?" Lin Tian smiled and stretched out his hand: "I have watched your game, no, I should say I love your game! Come on, show off. ! Let everyone see your style and abilities!"
When Lin Tian said this, Williams had no reason to refuse, and it was impossible for him to refuse!
Williams is now at a low point in his life.
It stands to reason that he should now be racing in the NCAA arena and show off his talents and abilities on a larger stage.
However, the University of Providence he chose experienced personnel changes. His mentor, Coach Barnes, left, so Williams quickly transferred to the University of Marshall. However, in his first year at the University of Marshall, due to his status as a transfer student, Unable to participate in the game.
After sitting on the bench for a year, Williams was just about to make his debut when his mentor at Marshall University, Billy Donovan, left again. This time, Williams, who values love and loyalty, chose to transfer again. , followed Donovan to the University of Florida.
But the second transfer means that Williams will still not be able to play next season!
In the first two seasons of college, he didn't even play in a regular NCAA game!
You know, when he was in high school, he was a recognized five-star high school student with a lottery-level prospect. But seeing that Stoudemire, Stackhouse and others who were in the same grade as him at that time had already made a name for themselves in the NBA, he But he was still wasting his time in college.
Williams, who is proud and arrogant, is not sad, confused or hesitant?That is impossible!
Now Williams needs a chance!
I need an opportunity to be seen and recognized again, and to come to the stage again!
Even if he cannot gain recognition from the mainstream basketball circle, he still wants to gain some fame in the streetball circle!Williams, who was extremely pessimistic, had begun to feel that he might not be able to play in the NBA at all!
Therefore, when Lin Tian said, "You come and play the No. [-] position," Williams no longer hesitated and directly joined Lin Tian's team!
"Our tactics are very simple. Give the ball to Jason and let others run. Go to the positions you are good at. Come on, tell me what you are good at."
"I can jump and dunk!"
"I can also jump and dunk."
"I can jump better than them and I can dunk."
Good guy!
Lin Tian called him "good guy, have you found three members of the track and field team to play basketball?"
However, Williams showed a confident expression on his face and said: "Just look for opportunities and run inside. Once the position is reached, the basketball will definitely be there! Lin, you..."
"I'm watching your performance. I'm not very good at dunking. I'll just stand outside the 3-point line." Lin Tian shrugged, saying that today's place is all yours!
Lin Tian knows that Williams is currently at a low point in his basketball career. Of course, he will not be so kind to help Williams find confidence and form. What Lin Tian wants is Williams' skill package!
He really wants it!
Let me ask you, as long as you are a basketball player in this world, who doesn’t want to have Williams’ passing package?Who wouldn't want to be as coquettish and gorgeous as him?
Just like no man can refuse a Danai sister, everyone who likes to play basketball can't refuse Williams' passing skill package!
Doesn’t that singer on the other side of the ocean who likes to drink milk tea always feel that he is China Williams?
For Lin Tian, even if the chance is not great, even if the probability is very low, he must give it a try. He must try to see if he can get Williams' skills!
He makes a profit if he takes the blood, but he doesn't lose if he doesn't get it!
Soon, after both teams put on a full set of AND 1 equipment, 10 players took to the Rucker Park stadium, which symbolizes the highest honor of the streets.
On the Alston team, it consists of Alston, Telfair, Artest, Odom and Marion!Five of them are actually future NBA players!These five people almost represent the highest level of Rock Park. They are definitely elites and gave their best!
On Lin Tian's side, Lin Tian and Williams partnered in the backcourt, plus three black guys who looked like they could fly dunks. Lin Tian was really too lazy to ask their names.
Anyway, if Lin Tian can't recognize him now, then there is a high probability that these three brothers have no ability.
Well, although he said he had no skills, Lin Tian's buddy who was about 205 centimeters tall and played the No. 5 position actually defeated Marion directly with his terrifying jumping ability when jumping the ball!
This is a spring man who is famous even in the NBA!
After the basketball was placed in Williams' hands, this guy faced Alston's defense and didn't even move the basketball. Instead, he threw it forward with both hands. The basketball directly crossed half the court and flew to the goal. Alston's basket.
"boom!"
After a loud noise, Lin Tian's players hung their hands on the basket and completed an alley-oop dunk that shocked everyone!
"That's my brother! The Crusher! He can crush every opponent and every basket!"
A spectator shouted excitedly, introducing the player who successfully dunked to everyone.
This dunk was like opening the key to Pandora's box!
From this first ball, the rhythm and style of the entire game... were completely determined!
crazy!Extremely crazy!
One after another, a group of people showed off their gorgeous, changeable, fancy and beautiful dribbling, and then went to the basket again and again to complete various dunks or coordination!
Odom, who is 208 centimeters tall but has guard skills, Artest, who has a body like a beast and does not match the street court style at all, Marion, who can fly dunks, is extremely fast and flexible, plus Rucker Park. The backcourt duo of Alston and Telfair.
Each of the five members of the Alston team is the king of this park, and each has a very high popularity. Every move they make can cause the fans to scream wildly!
And Lin Tian was not bad at all!
Williams became the core of the team. He launched the attack on every ball, while the others surrounded him, constantly running, covering, making some simple cooperation, and then rushing towards the basket.
Williams showed his unparalleled talent and style!
Every pass he makes can cause bursts of screams and cheers from the fans!
Behind-the-back passes, one-handed ground passes, super long-distance alley-oops, two-hand passes without looking at people, behind-the-crotch passes, false passes in the air after breakthroughs, behind-the-back passes after jumping...
One crazy pass after another was passed by Williams one after another. Just listen to the cheers of the audience and you will know that with this game alone, Williams will become the most popular player in the new generation of Rucker Park. Players!
Even though he is a white man, even before this game, almost no one at the scene knew him!
But his playing style has this kind of magic!
