NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 25: Into the Public Sight
After the game, Lin Chuan immediately returned to his rented apartment, threw his bag down and lay down on the bed.

There are several posters on the wall next to the bed, including Yao Ming, Jordan, and O'Neal.

One is Lin Chuan’s predecessor, one is the number one player in NBA history, and one is Lin Chuan’s idol at the center position.

When he was in college, Lin Chuan also wanted to play as dominantly as him and make the centers of other teams afraid of his three-pointers.

Lin Chuan's apartment is very close to the home stadium, only five minutes' walk away.

Although Lin Chuan is a second-round pick and his contract is not big, fortunately Oklahoma is not a big city like Los Angeles, New York, or San Francisco, so the house prices and rents here are very low.

An apartment of more than 60 square meters only costs $1000 a month, which also includes property fees and daily water and electricity.

In order to facilitate his practice, Lin Chuan decided on his residence after just a few glances.

After resting for a while, Lin Chuan got up and walked to the kitchen to prepare something to eat for himself.

Lin Chuan is not a superstar, but he has his own private chef who is responsible for preparing meals to ensure that he gets the best and most appropriate nutrition.

Lin Chuan found a ladder, climbed up and put a plastic bag on the smoke detector.

Then he opened the window for ventilation to prevent himself from being dazed by the smoke from cooking.

Lin Chuan has been in the United States long enough and has some experience.

He learned this trick after setting off a smoke detector while cooking in college.

After all, for Chinese people, cooking and eating Chinese food is ingrained in their DNA.

Wouldn’t it be killing him to let him eat American white people’s food every day?

There is also the Black Rice fried chicken burger, which is also extremely caloric. If a player like him shows off this thing all the time, then the Burger King next door would have become the Burger King of basketball a few years earlier.

Lin Chuan simply fried some chicken thighs with chili peppers and some vegetables. After serving the rice, Lin Chuan sat at the table with the plate and ate slowly.

While eating, Lin Chuan looked around his apartment and couldn't help but think of the shock he felt when he saw his house when Durant invited everyone to a party there.

It covers an area of ​​more than 600 square meters, is luxuriously decorated, and has a yard and a swimming pool. There are a lot of bedrooms and toilets, and I don’t know who they are for.

They also visited Durant's home theater and bar, as well as the gym in the house.

He even set aside an area in the backyard to build a basketball court so that he could practice shooting when he was at home.

Compared to his small apartment of dozens of square meters, Durant's house is really like a palace.

Can Durant be comfortable living in such a big house alone? It will take him several days to clean it!

He still remembers being there, and Westbrook also mentioned that he had just spent $200 million to buy a house not far from the home court.

Lin Chuan was very envious of the big house for two people.

Damn it, when can I experience this kind of trouble?
Lin Chuan chewed the chicken in his mouth with gritted teeth, as if it were his enemy.

If you want to live that kind of good life, you have to win the damn finals and beat the Heat in G7!

James stood on the edge of the cliff, and so did Lin Chuan!
There was no time to waste here, so Lin Chuan quickly finished the meal in his mouth and changed his clothes.

Then he immediately lay down in bed, put on his eye mask, and prepared to sleep.

Lin Chuan needs to rest assured and recover his physical strength so that he can train well and play well in the next game.

The game against the Heat was very intense today, especially because the opponent changed their strategy just for him.

After all, G7 is the day after tomorrow. Having just finished a thrilling game today, if Lin Chuan goes for additional training, he cannot guarantee the quality of tomorrow’s training.

Instead of this, it’s better to get up early tomorrow.

Lin Chuan couldn't help but think of Kobe in Los Angeles at four in the morning.

Maybe tomorrow we can have an Oklahoma at 4 a.m. Lin Chuan took off his eye mask, set the alarm, and fell into a deep sleep again.

On the other side, shortly after the game ended.

Several NBA bigwigs who were sitting on the sidelines took out their cell phones at the same time after leaving the arena.

Kobe also put away his crossed legs, sat on the chair, turned on his cell phone and made a call.

Mitch Kupchak.

He was then the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers.

"Hey, Mitch, I found a good player and I need him."

Kobe's tone was slightly excited.

"Hey, Dirk, want a center who's also from the international team to pair up with you?"

Cuban called Dirk Nowitzki.

And this German tank, King Nowitzki, is still basking in the sun at his home in Germany.

This year, Nowitzki failed in the first round of his title defense and was even swept out by the Thunder.

After the end of this season, Nowitzki returned to his home in Germany and enjoyed a hard-earned long vacation.

When he received the call from Cuban, he was still confused. What international center?
"Who is it? Is Yao Ming not going to retire? Do you want to sign him to play with me?"

"Haha, it's not Yao Ming, but he has the same nationality as him, his name is Lin Chuan."

Nowitzki thought for a while, and confirmed that it was a name he had never heard of, so he tentatively asked,

"I don't think I've heard of this Lin Chuan. Is he a new player that the scouts found in the CBA?"

"No, no, no, Dirk, don't guess. I'll tell you directly, it's a Thunder player. He came on in the fourth quarter of the last game and turned the tide against the Heat. In this game, he started and scored 20+10, forcing the Heat into a seventh game."

"What???"

Nowitzki stood up and took off his sunglasses, his eyes full of disbelief.

"I will watch the next game live, so I can see what's going on with my own eyes."

Popovich also contacted his own managers and asked them to keep a close eye on Lin Chuan to see if there is any opportunity for a trade during the offseason.

Let their international team Spurs add another strong player.

Ainge himself is the manager, the team's Big Three are getting old, and the Celtics' competitiveness will decline in the next few years and they will withdraw from the championship race.

Ainge urgently needs to continue to introduce talents to the Celtics so that the Celtics can continue to remain competitive!

At this time, he was ready to return to Boston to discuss with management what kind of deal to draft.

In this game, not only the big guys watching on the sidelines noticed Lin Chuan, many managers who were watching the live broadcast of the game also noticed his presence and began to call their subordinates to pay attention to Lin Chuan's subsequent games.

"The Thunder wins again, the score is 3-3!"

"From 1-3 to 3-3, the Thunder are going to stage a miracle comeback in the finals?"

"The Heat seem to have internal discord, and James was restricted from holding the ball in the first half?"

"Chinese player Lin Chuan once again put in a super performance, scoring 20 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block. Is a superstar rising?"

"He scored 28 points in the second half, and James scored 33+10+5+2 in the whole game. The team lost, but the statistics did not lose."

Post-match news is already flying all over the place.
