NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"Spike, I'm really sad when you say that." Lin Tian looked at Spike Lee and said, "Do you remember that you disliked our Produce Camp because it was boring and uninteresting? Do you remember how reluctant you were to participate in that project?"

"But what's the result? Look what you got! Countless US dollars and countless praises! I heard that some people call you the father of reality show? Others say that you introduced a brand new model to the public's vision and are the leader of a new generation of television revolution!"

"Look, if it weren't for me, would you be able to receive such high praise and honor?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

"As for this time, I can give you another chance! Another chance to lead the times, to create a new generation of revolution, and to become the pioneer and founder in everyone's mind!"

"That's all I have to say. I'll give you the material later. It's up to you whether you want to edit it or not."

"Cut it out! We are all friends! Let's not talk about benefits or results. Since you asked, I will definitely help! It is my duty!" Spike Lee said all this righteously, and suddenly lowered his voice, leaning close to Lin Tian's ear and said, "What on earth is this?"

"You'll know later." Lin Tian patted Spike Lee's shoulder mysteriously and said, "Let's watch the dunk first! Who's the first one?"

"Me!" Smith stretched his muscles and walked onto the court with great interest.

"We use the same rules as the dunk contest, but there are no preliminary rounds. We start with the finals. Each player has two dunks, each with a maximum score of 50 points. Each dunk has three attempts. If you miss any of them, the referee will give the points based on your judgment."

"If you have no problem, let's get started!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he signaled to Smith that he could start. This guy was not polite either. After stretching his muscles, he suddenly accelerated, rushed to the basket and did a 360-degree turn and windmill dunk!

"Oh, oh, oh!" Barkley stood up exaggeratedly, holding up the 10-point sign with a grin, and said, "Are all young people nowadays so fierce? They're so ruthless right from the start?"

"Only the kids here are so fierce!" Lin Tian laughed and gave a score of 9: "Josh, I have to leave 1 point. If someone dunks better than you next time, I will give him 10 points. If he dunks worse than you, I will give him 8 points. Is that ok?"

"Of course!" Smith was full of confidence and did not forget to make an eagle shape with his hands to celebrate himself.

"So, let's look at the total score for Josh's dunk. Charles got 10 points, Spike got 10 points, Patrick got 10 points, I got 9 points, and Carmelo... 2 points?! FUXX!! Carmelo, where did you find the 2-point sign?!"

"Isn't the lowest score a fucking 6?"

"I do." Anthony pouted, looking at Smith with eyes full of envy and longing, and said, "If you are not satisfied with my score, then let me participate as well."

"I like dunking too! I can be a dunker too!"

"Don't go and embarrass yourself. Just be a good judge. Just keep your left-handed tomahawk, right-handed tomahawk, and back-tomahawk moves in the competition."

Lin Tian rolled his eyes and was too lazy to say anything more to this guy who had no idea about his dunking skills. "Josh's total score is 41 points."

"Second one, Amare?"

Next, Stoudemire and Wallace took the court one after another. Both of them dunked well and everyone gave them high scores. There were also many Knicks players nearby who served as cheerleaders and atmosphere group, constantly cheering and helping to warm up the atmosphere.

Barkley, Lin Tian and Spike Lee were constantly joking with each other, while Anthony looked out of place and unhappy. Except for Ewing who didn't say much and just laughed foolishly, today's show was quite good.

Everybody was having a great time and was very happy.

The only exception was Anthony. This guy gave 5 consecutive 2 points, advocating fairness and equal treatment.

It wasn't until the theoretical last dunk tonight, when Smith made his second dunk, that Anthony finally gave a completely different score.

Logically speaking, Stoudemire and Wallace had both completed two dunks. Of course, because of Anthony, everyone's scores were not high at this moment.

Stoudemire scored 80 points with his first two dunks, and Wallace scored 79 points.

Smith scored 41 points in his first dunk. If he could get 40 points in this dunk, which is a dunk at the normal level of 47-8 points, he could represent the Knicks in the dunk contest.

In theory, this dunk doesn't need to be too difficult, as long as it is decent and interesting.

But Smith doesn't!

Smith wanted to be aggressive with this dunk, but the result was that he went too far. He failed to dunk the ball three times in a row and lost the chance to dunk on the second dunk.

Normally, people would only give 6-7 points for this dunk. In the end, he only got 30 points for encouragement, and he also lost the opportunity and qualification to represent the Knicks in the All-Star Game for dunking.

But this time, the other four players scored two 6 points and two 7 points, only Anthony took out an 11-point sign from somewhere and held it up.

"You're here to perform magic for me today?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes. Why didn't he know this guy was so good at performing before? And he even brought his own props?
"If I dunk, I will definitely make this shot!" Anthony was still quite unconvinced.

"You can only dunk, that's all you can do." Lin Tian was too lazy to pay attention to him and read out the scores to the players again: "Josh's score: two 6s, two 7s, and one 11, a total of 37 points!"

Well... Although I was too lazy to pay attention to Anthony, Lin Tian still counted his 11 points!

Lin Tian: Our rules tonight are that there are no rules!

"Is it possible?" Barkley was shocked. He spread his hands and asked, "What if I make a 100-point sign?"

"What are you thinking, Charles? Of course 100 points doesn't count." Lin Tian shrugged and said, "Carmelo holding up the sign randomly doesn't affect the result of the game. He holds up 11 points, and Josh is still last. Let him be happy."

"What if he affects the outcome?" Spike asked curiously.

"Then I'll kick him out and let him go up and slap two embarrassments."

“Let’s go!” Anthony immediately became excited when he heard Lin Tian asking him to dunk.

He stood up and said, "I'll have two too! Give me some points!"

“Knock, knock, knock!” Lin Tian waved his hands helplessly and said, “Josh, Amare and Gerald, you guys decide the scores! Let Charles and Patrick take a break.”

So after a period of chaos, the scene became a place where Lin Tian, ​​Stoudemire, Smith, Wallace and Spike gave Anthony scores.

Anthony, eager to try, tore off his outer clothes, revealing the tight vest underneath. Then he warmed up on the spot and started dunking with the basketball in hand!
For the first dunk, he chose a 360-degree slam dunk after running! This is also his special move. He often shows it to everyone when he is on a fast break in the game!

Run up, slow down, find the rhythm, jump, turn, and slam dunk!
"boom!"

After a loud bang, Anthony grabbed the basket with great momentum, and the basketball bounced high and dunked.

"puff!"

"Hahahaha!"

"You're making me laugh to death, Melo!"

"You'd better focus on shooting, dunking is not for you!"

"We understand your dream, but your stage should not be in the dunk contest."

"How about I lower the height of the basket a bit?"

"10 points!" After a burst of clamor, Wallace, who usually kept silent, was the first to give a score, advocating revenge when there is revenge and complaints when there is complaint.

Another dark and sultry guy!

"10 points!" Smith, Stoudemire and others saw Wallace's score and immediately laughed and followed closely.

Then?

The first 50 points was born tonight!

Anthony successfully got his first perfect dunk of the night with this one-handed dunk.

As for the second dunk?
Not important anymore.

Everybody was having a blast.

Anthony himself was too embarrassed to dunk the second one.

Get dressed and retreat.

If we can't afford to offend, can we just run away?

Drink a few more glasses tonight and pretend that what just happened never happened. When you wake up, you’ll be a brave man again!
Anyway, this isn't the first time he's missed a dunk.

In other words, the number of times Anthony missed dunks is the highest in NBA history. This will happen many more times in his future career!

The most well-known is the 06-07 season, when Anthony, who was at his peak, averaged 29 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game in the regular season, with a shooting percentage of 47% and a free throw percentage of over 80%.

Then?

Then Anthony's dunk percentage this season is only 89%!

What does it mean to have an 89% dunk success rate?

Except for those guys who only missed one or two dunks accidentally, Anthony ranks last in the league among all players with more than five dunks!

Apart from him, there are only a handful of people whose dunk percentage is lower than 95%.

We are so far ahead!
You know, because there is no way to determine whether a player is going to dunk or layup when being blocked, those dunks that are blocked do not count as dunks, and the same goes for those actions that are fouled but do not result in a dunk.

That is to say, this 89% hit rate is entirely based on the statistics of a player's basketball failing to go into the basket when he slammed it towards the basket.

Anthony can definitely be called the best dunker in history.

Deserved!

With Anthony slipping away first, the Knicks' internal dunk qualifying round of the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest tonight officially ended.

Because Smith made a mistake in the last dunk, Stoudemire successfully stood out. He will represent the team in the New York All-Star Slam Dunk Contest in half a month!

After winning the right to participate in the competition, Stoudemire happily invited the whole team to have fun in a nightclub in the evening.

Except for Anthony and Lin Tian, ​​almost everyone else, including Barkley and Ewing, came to the nightclub to celebrate and play with Stoudemire.

No one knew where Anthony went to get drunk and cry.

But Lin Tian has his own things to do.

He handed all the footage shot today to Spike Lee, asking him to edit it into several 2-3 minute videos based on the coherence and watchability of the plot.

As for its purpose, Lin Tian still didn't tell him.

"It should be done in a week, right? This is a lot of work." Lin Tian said as he handed the task to Spike Lee: "If it's too troublesome, I'd better hand it over to a professional."

"What? What did I ask you?" Spike Lee's eyes widened, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Is there anyone more professional than me? You are insulting my professional skills! Can you finish it in a week? It's just such a small workload, I will give it to you tomorrow afternoon!"

After Spike Lee finished speaking, he picked up his things and staggered away.

He decided to work overtime tonight and give the things to Lin Tian early tomorrow morning!

Focus on being professional, fast and competent!

You bastard, you questioned me! I'll slap you in the face!

In order to slap Lin Tian in the face, Spike Lee rejected Xiao Si's invitation and went to the studio alone to slap Lin Tian in the face.

As for Lin Tian?

He has more important things to do.

He came to a private place opened by Pelinka in New York, and there were several people sitting in front of him, including Chinese, white people and a middle-aged Mexican man.

"Steven, how is the preparation of the new website going?" Lin Tian asked the Chinese man facing him.

"With your financial support, everything is progressing very quickly and smoothly! The website has reached the final debugging stage and can be launched at any time!" Steven was very excited, his face flushed, and it was obvious that he was extremely excited.

"I still can't believe it! Lin, really, I still can't believe it! Three months ago, I was a poor guy who had just lost his job and owed more than 100,000 US dollars, but now, I can actually get the favor of a big shot like you. I didn't expect you to invest in my dream!"

"It's all fate." Lin Tian waved his hand and said, "I have already prepared the first wave of popularity and content after the website is built. It is a series of videos of our team's first dunk contest edited by Spike Lee himself."

"Stern will definitely start promoting this matter in the next few days! I will definitely cooperate with you and do some publicity."

"According to my estimation, within half a year at most, we will be able to become the most visited website in the United States and even in North America! Countless people will join this website and become one of us, and countless people will become your fans!"

"And by this time next year at the latest, we will all be multi-millionaires or even billionaires!"

"So what you have to do now is to stabilize the server and debug everything so that the website doesn't crash due to too many visitors on the first day of operation. I don't want our first shot to become a joke because of our own reasons! How about it, is it okay?"

"As long as we have money, all these will be no problem!" Several people were obviously filled with Lin Tian's simple pie. They were all extremely excited and full of energy.

Then, they chatted with Lin Tian for a few more words about the website launch, the various tasks that needed to be prepared, and the possible problems that might be encountered, and then they left the scene one after another, saying that they would go back to work overtime to prepare for their own work.

After they all left, Pelinka appeared in front of Lin Tian almost seamlessly.

"Are you really that optimistic about them? You're not willing to invest just because Stephen is from your hometown, are you? We spent a lot of money renting a server for them this time!"

"Them, no, it's us! We will definitely succeed! Every penny we spend now will return to us tenfold or a hundredfold in the near future." Lin Tian said confidently: "Are you investing with me?"

"Of course." Pelinka shrugged as a matter of course and said, "Although I don't believe in this project or these guys, I believe in you. There is no loss in the project you invested in."

"By the way, what is this new thing called? I can never remember it."

"YOUTUBE!" Lin Tian calmly said the name of the website that would soon become world-famous and the largest online video browsing and sharing website in the world. He confidently said to Pelinka: "I suggest you apply for an account after the website is built and share some of your daily life."

"Maybe you can become a star too?"

"I'm not interested in being a star." Pelinka shook his head and said, "I just like to make money!"

Lin Tian didn't say much to this guy, but stretched lazily.

Another money-making thing done!
comfortable.

Those people just now are the founders of YOUTUBE, but they are very poor now. The Chinese man Stephen is Dr. Steve Chen, who just lost his job. He is also the founder and leader of YOUTUBE.

As for the remaining few people, some were founders who originally started a business with Chen Shijun, and some were professionals found by Lin Tian and Pelinka.

But no matter where these people come from, they all have exactly the same identity.

loser.

They are either young people who cannot find a job after graduation, or unemployed people who were fired after working, or office workers who are very depressed because their talents are not recognized.

One is worse off than the other.

This is also the reason why when Lin Tian got together with Chen Shijun by chance for some reason and gave them this opportunity, they cherished it so much and were so excited.

It is really like Jiang Ziya met King Wen of Zhou when he was 70 years old, Sun Wukong met Tang Sanzang when he was almost 1000 years old, and Van Gogh became a top painter 200 years after his death.

I finally met someone who understands me and is willing to invest in me, so why not give my life to Lin Tian?

Work hard! Get the website ready for launch soon!
As for Lin Tian’s own plan?
There is no need to say more.

Let Stern help promote the website, use the Knicks dunk contest to launch the website's first shot, use his own celebrity effect and the Knicks' huge influence to quickly open up the first wave of new users for the website!

If Lin Tian remembers correctly, YOUTUBE was officially launched on Valentine's Day in 05, and then in November 06, the website was acquired by industry giant Google for US$11 billion.

It’s been less than two years!
In the days that followed, except for the first few years when it needed to spend a lot of money on promotion, YOUTUBE brought Google huge profits of more than 10 billion US dollars, or even tens of billions of US dollars every year!
Definitely a very profitable business, absolutely a good business!

As for this time, with his own intervention, Lin Tian is confident that he can make the world's largest website develop faster and more vigorously, and will definitely make more money!

As for whether to sell the website next year or to follow the old path of YOUTUBE.

We’ll talk about it when the time comes!

Why are you in such a hurry? It’s still early!
What we need to do now is to make the All-Star Game in front of us a good and beautiful one! (End of this chapter)
