legendary point guard

Just when the news that Lin Sen won the best rookie came back to the other side of the ocean, Li Wei sent off a man wearing glasses with a bad face. "Xinhua News Agency" reporter Chen Cong in New York saw this scene and recorded it. When he After going back, it turns out that the man Li Wei, chairman of the Basketball Association, saw off was Huo Zhenting, the current head of the Huo family.

As a reporter, he naturally knows how passionate the Huo family is about sports. Without the Huo family, perhaps China would not be able to become the host country of the Olympics. Moreover, from the content of the photos he took, it can be seen that Li Wei's face is not good, and he also knows that Li Wei is coming. The purpose of coming to the United States is to help the China Men's Basketball team recruit Lin Sen from the Orlando Magic, the Chinese player who just won the NBA's best rookie and conquered countless fans.

"Could it be that Lin Sen rejected the country's call?" Chen Cong thought, thinking of this, he felt that it was necessary to contact some leaders Li Wei.

"Wang Lin, I don't know what's going on between you and him, but I still have to say something." Li Wei said into the phone. After arriving in New York, this Wang Lin left his home by meeting his old classmates. A few days ago, Lin Sen's agent politely rejected his invitation again. This change of attitude surprised Li Wei. Although Lin Sen did not agree to become a Chinese citizen at first, he did not directly refuse. After asking the reason, David Falk told him cryptically that some leaders could not see the future of the Huaxia men's basketball team, and then revealed that some people violated Lin Sen's bottom line.

Wang Lin immediately thought that Lin Sen had revealed what happened that day, but although he was not so stupid, he said, "Chairman Li, I don't know what you mean."

"Okay, okay, okay, you don't know, you don't know, I can only tell you that Lin Sen basically rejected us, and the Jeremy Lin from Harvard and Derek Luo from Washington State we were looking for before I don't want to give up my American citizenship, so we got nothing from this trip to the United States." Li Wei hung up the phone angrily.

Wang Lin on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment and then snorted: "If there is no gain, there is no gain. If he dares to join me, I won't kill him. He dares to take me away." , he didn't believe that Lin Sen could change anything.

Huo Zhenting, who returned to the hotel, was also very satisfied with his conversation with Li Wei. Although he essentially hoped that Lin Sen would join the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team. After all, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team in Asia is at the top level. After the idea suddenly popped up in Zhong, he began to try to see if it was possible to implement this matter, and the meeting between him and Li Wei tonight was a relatively satisfactory answer. What he has to do now is to convince some Huaxia People agreed to help him with the operation, otherwise his plan would be in vain.

Of course, after communicating with Li Wei, Huo Zhenting got his support in almost one night. Of course, he paid a lot for this. After getting the consent of the relevant departments in the mainland, Huo Zhenting immediately arranged for the plane to fly at 5 o'clock in the morning. Back to Hong Kong.

Jiang Junhui is one of the top reporters of Hong Kong's "Oriental Daily". Today he needs to interview Zeng Yinquan, whose term will end on June 6. He wants to ask Zeng Yinquan what he thinks about his re-election, but he just arrived. He discovered that Huo Zhenting had entered the headquarters of the Hong Kong government, but it was normal for a family of the Huo family to meet the chief executive, so Jiang Junhui didn't take it to heart but entered the reception room and waited.

At this time, Huo Zhenting was talking with Zeng Yinquan in the chief executive's office, and Zeng Yinquan did not expect that Huo Zhenting would bring him such news. Zeng Yinquan naturally knew that when the economy continued to slump, Hong Kong-independence became more and more serious. It may be a good way to use this method to change the attention of the people, and it is likely to stimulate the vitality of the people instead of staying in complaints.

"If it is really possible, I fully support it. The 'Inland Talents Program' will open the door for this matter at any time. I don't think anyone will disagree. I will hold a meeting in the afternoon. You can do it at ease. Everything here Me." Zeng Yinquan said with a smile, the current situation in Hong Kong is also giving him a headache, there are too many facts that sports can change the social situation, Huo Zhenting's proposal is undoubtedly good news.

After getting a clear answer, Huo Zhenting felt that he had taken the first step of the long march, but he believed that as long as he paved the road ahead within this month, then everything was possible. Of course, he needed Lin Sen to pave the way. Huo Zhenting, who was still in Hong Kong in the morning, flew to Orlando in the afternoon.

"What, Mr. Huo, are you sure you're not joking?" Lin Sen couldn't believe Huo Zhenting in front of him at all. Lin Sen couldn't believe that Huo Zhenting invited him to join the Hong Kong team.

Huo Zhenting smiled: "I know this is a bit crazy, but I don't think I lied to you. I sincerely invite you to join Hong Kong. Of course, I know that the United States has great ideas for you to join the US team. With all due respect, you join the US team Where do you think you'll be? Higher than Kobe than James than Wade?"

"At least not for now."

"I can even say that your entire career is impossible, even if you are good enough to be No. If you lose one, you will lose your due competitiveness..."

"But Mr. Huo, then you let me join Hong Kong. To be sorry, I might as well join Huaxia. At least Huaxia is at the top of Asia. At least there are Dayao and Ah Lian. Their original strength is almost enough to fight for a top eight. And their weakness is the back line, I believe I have the ability to change them."

"But you don't want to join Huaxia, don't you? I knew your thoughts that day. I am very patriotic but I also know certain national conditions. Just like I found you, I have paved the way. You return to Huaxia nationality first and then We will introduce you with the Admission of Mainland Talents Program, so that you can permanently obtain the right of abode in Hong Kong."

Lin Sen listened to Huo Zhenting's words, at least for this convenience, he still felt that such a respected person as Huo Zhenting valued him, but he was grateful for his appreciation and appreciation: "Mr. Huo, I am very grateful for your attention to me, but you think I Is it strong enough for a person to have the ability of Hong Kong basketball for a hundred years? To put it bluntly, even Jordan can't do this."

Huo Zhenting was not angry at all, with a confident expression on his face: "Lin Sen, I know what you think, do you think I and you are pulling you into the Hong Kong team to increase the popularity of Hong Kong basketball? I have done a lot of work, and I am working with you Before contacting me, my assistant had obtained many players of Chinese descent from all over the world. Although the information was incomplete, there were still quite a few.

For example, Jeremy Lin and Derek Luo, who were contacted by Huaxia Chairman Li some time ago, have already obtained their approval. Of course, the premise is that you can join the Hong Kong men's basketball team. Not only they but also a player from West Virginia State University Joe Alexander, he was named the next n**a star of hope.

And I also hired scouts to inspect him. His physical fitness is at the top level. The key is that he has lived in China for seven years and his mother is Taiwanese, so he can choose to join the China Men's Basketball Team. There's no way it can be done, but I think you can if you step forward. "

As he said that, Huo Zhenting pushed the document in his hand to Lin Sen.

Huo Zhenting said that the first two people, Lin Sen, have heard of and watched their games recently. Although Jeremy Lin is still young, he feels pretty good, and that Derek Luo is much more mature. As for That Joe Alexander Linson hadn't heard of it yet.

"Team building plan?" Lin Sen read the cover name of the folder and opened the cover. The first page belonged to him, and the top of the second page said Naturalization, but there were only these two pages on the whole page. In Chinese characters, the third page is that Joe Alexander, who introduced this person's family background, technical analysis and future prospects in detail.

The fourth page is that Harvard boy Jeremy Lin, the fifth page is that Derek Luo, but the most surprising thing is that there is even an introduction of Mike Bibby on the sixth page.

"Grandmother Chinese?" Lin Sen looked at Bibby's family relationship map in surprise, but later introduced that Bibby was unable to represent Hong Kong because he represented the United States in the Olympic trials. Seeing this, Lin Sen couldn't help but secretly despise After thinking about Huo Zhenting's possibility of writing it, Lin Sen realized that he was actually interested in joining Hong Kong at this time.

"Samir Gao?" Lin Sen couldn't believe it, because Lin Sen was shocked by the statistics of this Chinese man introduced on the seventh page.

This player named Samir Gao is named Gao Kun in Chinese. He is a sophomore in the NCAA League Qiancheng Baptist Bible College. Born in 1987, his mother is Chinese and his father is African-American. He is 2.08 tall and averages 24 points per game as a power forward. At the same time, he can contribute 18 rebounds and 5 blocked shots, but what is also shocking is that this guy averaged 5 fouls per game, and his average playing time was less than 30 minutes per game. Lin Sen looked at this guy's shooting percentage. 68% of.

Continuing to read, it turns out that Samir Gao's physical fitness is too high, and his vertical jump is a full meter. In this way, Lin Sen can understand why this player has such terrifying statistics in the ** league.

Then there were some introductions, but they were not too outstanding. After the introduction of these Chinese players, there were some c**a Huaxia players who planned to introduce, and then the basic introduction of the Hong Kong team. At the end, there were a few pages that were written as coaches. Group.

"finish watching?"

Lin Sen nodded: "After reading it, to be honest, at least I can see sincerity, but there is still a big difference between sincerity and prospects."

It is unrealistic for Lin Sen to demand patriotism from him. Huo Zhenting also knows this, but he knows that although Lin Sen looks like a sunny and handsome boy, he has an extreme desire for victory in his heart, so he decided to take advantage of this.

"To be honest, this plan has many shortcomings, especially the convenience of the players. Our original players are really not good enough. Song Fang and Luo Yiting are the players we can show. After all, most of them are amateurs, but our introduction The plan is not over. Even if you are on this list, you don’t have the confidence to lead Hong Kong, which has no naturalized players, to break into the top three in the Asian Championships in the summer. This time, the Huaxia team only sent young players to train because the host of the Olympics. The championship can be won For next year's Olympic qualification, the second and third can participate in the losing competition."

"Yes!" Lin Sen said confidently.

"That's fine, what if we naturalize another real superstar?" Huo Zhenting's words surprised Lin Sen.

"Super star?"

"Yes, superstars, the FIBA ​​rules are there, only allowing one player who is not in the plan to be naturalized, then since we want to make a difference why not naturalize superstars, although it is difficult, but we will come up with Sincerely, in the name of the Huo family, I can assure you that we will give you a superstar before the Olympics next year."

Huo Zhenting's guarantee stunned Lin Sen. The name of the Huo family is not a joke, but Lin Sen still does not believe that a superstar can be naturalized, but even if it is not a superstar, a first-class player is a huge challenge for Lin Sen. s help.

"I think it is more meaningful for you to be an opponent of the United States than to be a teammate? Let me say something that you may not like to hear. No matter how you go, you are just like us. With yellow skin, you are the pride of countless Chinese people , even if you don’t want to represent it yourself, it’s a fact.”

Regarding Huo Zhenting's words, Lin Sen has to admit that he has experienced this since his college days, and it is even more vivid in na**a. No matter which away game he goes to, he can see local Chinese and foreign students cheering for him, even Many people even put down their jobs and even traveled thousands of miles.

"You acquiesced, right? Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. I respect your choice, although I very much hope that you can join the Hong Kong team. In addition, you have the right to make decisions about the naturalized players and coaches, including other players." Huo Zhenting said The words undoubtedly gave Lin Sen a great privilege.

"Mr. Huo, to be honest, I am very moved." Lin Sen expressed his thoughts.

Huo Zhenting laughed when he heard Lin Sen's words: "That's good, as long as the heart moves, everything is possible. There are still about three months before the start of the Asian Championships. We hope to improve the team as much as possible before then. Of course, we will not ask you to give you more incentives like the China Basketball Association asked Yao Ming, and we can write this into the contract at that time, of course, this premise is still based on your consent."

When Huo Zhenting left his house, Lin Sen was still in shock and couldn't extricate himself. Carolina looked at Lin Sen who was in deep thought and knew what the man said just now moved him.

"Did you eat?" Lin Sen didn't know how long he thought about it, and he came back from his thoughts when he smelled the aroma of vegetables.

"Yeah, it's time to eat. I thought you didn't want to eat tonight." Carolina said with a smile.

After dinner, Lin Sen watched the Bulls game highlights for a while and then lay down on the bed. In addition to thinking about what Huo Zhenting said, he was thinking about what Stan Van Gundy said. Although the Magic has a solid capital of 2000 million this summer, but This premise is based on the fact that Grant Hill and Milicic do not renew their contracts, and it is also based on Howard and him are still on rookie contracts.

Of course, his own contract is only in the first year, and it will not affect anything, but Howard is different. The Magic will definitely renew his contract this summer and I heard that Howard is asking for a maximum salary. Then this offseason, he will renew his contract for 2000 million. There are about 1000 million after Milicic, plus Howard's annual salary next year will be at least 500 million, so the Magic is destined to pay the luxury tax, plus his future contract, the luxury tax will be terrible.

Although it’s okay for the big boss to make a decision and pay the luxury tax, Otis Smith must still follow the principle of not paying if he can, so who can sign for 1000 million, and the ball rights come to Lin Sen’s mind one by one.

Chauncey Billups?

Lin Sen shook his head. Billups is a player he likes very much, a player who is seriously underestimated, and a player who can help the team achieve immediate results, but even if Billups comes to play double control with him But it will affect his status to some extent. Selfishly speaking, Lin Sen does not want the team to sign Billups.

Arenas?

Lin Sen still remembered the first time he played against Arenas, but he knew Arenas's character better, so it was not necessary for Lin Sen to say that Arenas would not accept the olive branch of the Magic.

Vince Carter?

Lin Sen believed that he would come to the Magic, not to mention that Lin Sen didn't believe that Carter was willing to help him. Lin Sen didn't mind if he wanted to, but Lin Sen knew that it was impossible for Carter to come if he thought about it with his toes.

Anderson Varejao?

If the Magic renews Milicic's contract, then Varejao will be redundant, unless Varejao is willing to lower his value to come to the Magic, not to mention that James is absolutely unwilling to be poached by the Magic.

In addition, Lin Sen thought of the Argentine player Andis Nocioni of the Bulls and Gerald Wallace of the Bobcats that he had just seen. What is needed to get closer, Gerald Wallace is the core of the Bobcats and Nocioni is an important player of the team is not the core, although Gerald Wallace is the core, but Jordan's sting is not necessarily How big a contract can be given, if the team can get Nocioni or Gerald Wallace, then the defensive core that connects the inside and outside can be found. Lin Sen thought about it and suggested that Stan Van Gundy try .

Thinking about the bright future of the Magic and thinking about the possibility of confronting the US team, Lin Sen gradually became sleepy. In the end, Lin Sen didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already the next day. Morning.

At this time, Chen Cong, a reporter from "Xinhua News Agency" in New York, USA, had already aroused frenzied discussions on the other side of the ocean with the news of "Lin Sen Missing China". A large number of sports events have implemented the "importation of mainland talents", which has triggered extensive discussions among Hong Kong reporters and the public. Then "The Sun" reporter Zhao Xueqian expressed his opinion on the "Sun", that is, it is very popular in the United States. Shuiqi's Chinese player Wood Lin is likely to be the main candidate for Zhou Daming's plan.

The release of this news sparked heated discussions among Hong Kong residents, and it was even sent back to China, while Lin Sen on the other side of the Pacific Ocean had already entered the arena and started training. (To be continued.)
