NBA: Copy Aomine Daiki at the beginning
Chapter 99
New York.
17:00.
Madison Square Garden.
The boss's office.
Lin Feng and team general manager Donnie Wash opened the door and walked in.
Before he got on the plane from Los Angeles International Airport, he told Donnie Wash that he would be arriving in New York this afternoon.
It took almost 6 hours to fly from Los Angeles in the west to New York in the east.
Knicks general manager Donnie Wash personally went to the airport to bring Lin Feng back here.
This is to show that they value Lin Feng and make him feel at home when he returns to New York.
"Ha ha!!"
"Lin, welcome back to the Knicks family!"
"Our great new season is finally about to set sail!"
As soon as Lin Feng walked into the office of Knicks owner Dolan, he was greeted with a warm hug.
He could feel how much Dolan was looking forward to the new season.
"Mr. Dolan, nice to see you again!"
"I came to the Knicks just to win!"
After Dolan's excitement calmed down a little, Lin Feng reached out and shook his hand vigorously.
General Manager Donny Wash, who was standing aside, was also filled with emotion when he saw this scene.
From the scouts and the boss Dolan also discovered that Lin Feng performed like a superhero in the top 64 of the NCAA knockout round, leading the UCLA Bruins to reverse Texas State University led by Jordan.
They watched all of Lin Feng's NCAA games. After repeatedly analyzing and evaluating Lin Feng’s game videos, the crazy Knicks boss Dolan finally decided to let Lin Feng take over. Knicks!
General manager Donnie Wash started his busy draft schedule and dealt with the conspiracy of other team management in the league. In the end, he had no choice but to accept the fate of being cheated just to get Lin. Wind!
They were even ridiculed by the outside media and fans, saying that they were a rich team with stupid people and lots of money, and they were deceived because they showed their cards in advance during negotiations.
It seemed that this team had retired after Ewing. It's a mess of a weak team, a stupid team that specializes in playing rich players and cultivating powerful players for smart teams such as the Heat and Bulls.
The hot-tempered and hot-tempered owner Dolan even destroyed three luxuriously decorated offices.
And Donny Wash, a gray-haired old man, was so angry that his blood pressure soared several times, and he suffered from insomnia for several nights. He was extremely depressed and angry.
Fortunately, their persistence and choice paid off. Payback.
Lin Feng, the new No. 1 pick in the NBA, proved with his violent performance in the Olympic men's basketball game that his crazy performance in the NCAA is not a flash in the pan.
Now, fans and viewers from all over the world have watched the Chinese men's basketball games at this year's Olympic Games. Basketball game.
In other words, as long as you have watched the two games between the Tianchao Men’s Basketball Team and the Mengba Team, even if you have only watched the final of the gold medal game, as long as you are not out of your mind or kicked. No one would think that Lin Feng is just a rookie.
Lin Feng has created too much history and records in this Olympic men's basketball game. Facing the Dream Team 8, which is second only to the Dream Team, he scored 52 points and 5 points respectively. 78 points!
This is not only the scoring record for men's basketball games in the Olympics, but it also ranks among the top in the NBA. Especially that 78 points, it is second only to Chamberlain's 100 points and Kobe
Bryant's 81 points.
The 78 points were not against an ordinary NBA team, but against a super-luxurious Dream Team composed of superstars and all-stars.
This gold content can be said to be the first in history!
Just after that thrilling Olympic men's basketball finals. , almost the entire Dream Team is praising Lin Feng's performance, especially Kobe, Wade, James and Prince, who have faced off against Lin Feng the most.
Of course,
Knicks owner Dolan and General Manager. Manager Donny Wash was on hand to witness Lin Feng's violent performance in the Olympics, which kept them excited for half a month.
Moreover, during the game, Lin Feng faced media reporters and asked about other teams. When chasing.
I am very determined to leave the field and I am not going anywhere!
Just stay with the Knicks!
Those smart teams used him as the No. 1 pick in exchange for benefits, without any regard for his dignity. Only the Knicks wanted to get him.
It gave Lin Feng enough dignity and sincerity, as well as the cornerstone of the team and an absolute core commitment!
So although the Knicks have been terrible in the past few years, Lin Feng is not going anywhere.
He just wants to go to this weak team and lead them to rise again and become a super power in the NBA! nowadays.
Everything is settled.
After seeing Lin Feng, the cornerstone of the team that the team had risked his life in trading, came to the team on time to report.
General Manager Donnie Wash is very relieved and happy that his pressure can finally be relieved.
"Lin, has your place of residence been arranged?"
"If not, I have several apartments next to Madison Square Garden"
"After today's team meeting and assembly report are finished, I'll ask my assistant to take you there."
"You can choose whatever you want, and if you like which apartment you like, you can move in directly."
"If you like it, it’s okay to give it to you!"
The straightforward and bearded Hu Dolan personally asked about Lin Feng's living in New York, and boldly said that he would give Lin Feng a house. Anyway, his properties are everywhere.
Of course, this seemingly careless boss is not ridiculed by the outside world. So stupid.
He can become a rich man in New York, and he is also the owner of several large companies and the Knicks.
If he was really the stupid son of a landlord, he would have been eaten by the capital tycoons and competitors here. There are none left.
Knicks owner Dolan is very clear that Lin Feng's current strength is definitely the same as that of superstars such as Kobe and James, and he must be worthy of the highest salary in the NBA.
He even fantasized about it in two years. , using a super maximum salary to recruit James to the Knicks.
In the Olympic game against the Dream Team, Lin Feng defeated these superstars with his terrifying performance, so he felt that Lin Feng deserved the maximum salary contract.
But because Lin Feng participated in the NBA draft, he could only get a rookie contract according to the league's regulations.
This helped Knicks owner Dolan. He didn't know how much money was left, and with the remaining money, Dolan could surround Lin Feng. To create a strong championship team.
So what does it mean to give Lin Feng a luxury apartment?
Is it too much to give him a luxury sports car? It’s just that
Lin Feng doesn’t want to play in the NBA.
If he didn't fight, he would receive too many gifts and be owed a favor.
After all, the NBA is not the NCAA, but a commercial league.
Players and owners can be friends, but a win-win cooperation can last longer.
I have seen too many capitalist faces.
Think about how emotionally loyal players such as Wade and DeRozan were abandoned by the team.
Lin Feng, who was reborn in this parallel world, always felt that he should follow the team owner.
On the basis of win-win cooperation with the management, we can then properly coexist with each other like friends with mutual respect.
"Mr. Dolan, thank you for your kindness!"
Lin Feng explained with a smile:"I will first look for a house with a style that I like, and then if there is a suitable one, I will buy it myself. If I really don't find a suitable one, I will take away your apartment without mercy."
He said it very tactfully, and Dolan also smiled and nodded in agreement with satisfaction.
It is easy for smart people to deal with each other, and they can know the other person's true thoughts in just a little bit.
Lin Feng wants to rely on his own ability to personally buy the mansion and luxury car. There is still countless money to earn back.
Not to mention that he has signed a rookie contract and has a bunch of endorsement contracts with Nike.
Lin Feng does not lack the money to buy a house and a car, so he does not want to blindly accept too many rewards..
In the future, when he leads the Knicks to great results and makes the team enter the playoffs, or even go further,
Lin Feng can feel confident if Dolan rewards him with luxury cars and mansions. Accept.
At this moment,
Dolan took out a list of three players recommended by Lin Feng, indicating that they had all signed with the Knicks.
After three days of checking this year's NBA free market signing and transaction news, and based on his understanding of the unsigned players in the NBA, he finally provided this list with Dolan and general manager Donny Wash. They met to discuss and analyze the reasons why these players were selected.
In order to show that he valued Lin Feng enough and respected his right to participate in signing recommendations, Dolan directly decided to let Donnie Wash do it without stopping.���Just throw money at it!
Two players who reached a verbal signing agreement finally gave up signing with their original teams.
Although turning around and tearing up the verbal agreement would hurt their reputation, they didn't actually sign the contract.
These two players are Tony Allen and PJ Tucker.
When Lin Feng was looking at this year's NBA free agent list, he discovered Tony Allen, a defensive hero.
And he found that the other party did not sign with the Celtics, who had just won the championship, and other teams did not provide him with a suitable contract, either a basic salary or less than US$4 million in two years.
As the perimeter defender for the Celtics to win this year's championship, he did not receive a contract offer from the Green Army immediately.
The Celtics' shrewd old fox general manager Angie gave priority to renewing the contracts of other important players, and also tried to trade with other teams to continue to strengthen.
But they just didn't provide a contract offer as early as possible to Tony Allen, who guarded Kobe Bryant in the Finals.
This cold-blooded and shrewd old fox deliberately delayed time with repeated negotiations.
In fact, it’s just riding a donkey to find a horse!
If you can't find a player to replace Tony Allen, then provide him with a two-year, 5 million contract.
It can be said to be an extremely cheap contract, which is a bit insulting to Tony Allen.
Of course.
The shrewd Danny Ainge will do this, mainly because Tony Allen was injured early last season and did not play for most of the season.
And this season, he also missed many times due to injuries, so Anji labeled him a glass man.
Although Tony Allen performed well in the Finals, injury risks have greatly devalued his value.
Therefore, not many teams contacted him, and his test of the free market looked bleak.
So when Knicks general manager Donnie Wash approached Tony Allen and his agent and directly offered him a three-year, $12 million contract.
Tony Allen, who was extremely depressed after being repeatedly teased by Danny Ainge, accepted the sincerity from the Knicks without hesitation and directly signed and announced his joining.
Angie, who had messed up, yelled angrily and kept accusing Tony Allen of breaking the verbal agreement.
He even criticized and ridiculed the Knicks for cutting off Hu.
Because Lin Feng made a sensation in the entire NBA league from the beginning of the draft and remained popular until the end of the Olympics.
It overshadowed the glory of their championship-winning Big Three Green Army.
Of course Anji was more jealous because they couldn't get Lin Feng.
Although the Celtics have three giants and won the championship this year, he knows that all these people will be gone within a few years, and the future of the team must be handed over to potential super stars.
Just think of a world where the Celtics had so many young talents every year.
Danny Ainge, the savvy general manager of the Green Army, always prepares the team's talents years in advance.
So this guy was weird when he was interviewed by the media, saying that they are the championship now, and there are many parallel No. 1 picks in NBA history.
Following Lin Feng���In response to his crazy performance in the Olympics, he turned into slamming the Knicks for being a bad team.
Even if the peak Jordan joins, he can't save the weak team that is in a mess.
What about a rookie like Lin Feng?
As for PJ Tucker, it's much simpler.
He originally played in the Israel League and just helped the team win the championship and MVP this year.
When he had just reached a verbal agreement with another European team, he had not yet had time to sign.
Knicks general manager Donnie Wash found Tucker and his agent with a three-year, 9 million contract, hoping that he could return to the NBA, the highest level basketball stage in the world.
In the 2006 NBA draft, Tucker was selected by the Raptors with the 35th overall pick in the second round.
However, after playing less than one season, Tucker hit the rookie wall and his performance was extremely disappointing.
The Raptors waived him directly to make room for other signings.
No other team in the NBA is interested in a second-round pick who was waived by the team due to poor performance.
The depressed Tucker didn't want to play in the Development League, so he could only go to the European League, which was not weak, to look for opportunities.
And in his first year, he helped the team win the championship and won the Israel League MVP. nowadays.
The Knicks gave him a chance to return to the NBA.
This made Tucker, who was unwilling to be eliminated by the NBA, choose to sign without hesitation.
Moreover, the contract amount greatly exceeded his expectations.
In his opinion, he would be grateful to have an NBA team that could sign him back with a minimum salary contract.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
In the world before Lin Feng was reborn, Tucker, nicknamed the"Shoe King," returned to the NBA with a minimum salary.
He wandered around in the European League for five years before being signed back by the Suns with a two-year minimum salary contract.
This is also the reason why Tucker plays so tough in the NBA. He also won the 4th Best Fighting Award for playing hard enough.
On the list provided by Lin Feng, the last signing was Kyle Lowry, the point guard who was frustrated with the Grizzlies.
This late-blooming All-Star player only played 10 games in his rookie season before being injured early for the season.
Although he did not miss any games due to injuries in the second season, he served as Conley's first substitute.
Only 43.2% of the field goals and 25.7% of the three-pointers were shot.
Lowry only had 3.2 assists, 1.5 turnovers and 2.3 fouls in 25 minutes of playing time. His performance disappointed the Grizzlies.
This is also the main reason why in the world before Lin Feng was reborn, in the 2008-09 season, the Grizzlies sent Kyle Lowry to the Mosaics in a three-way trade with the Mosaics and Magic.
The Grizzlies don't believe that the disappointing Lowry can play a starting-level performance in the open space.
Knicks general manager Donnie Wash used Nate Robinson, who has performed well this season, and some cash in exchange for backup point guard Kyle Lowry, who the Grizzlies wanted to send away.
It looks like the Grizzlies are making a fortune, while the Knicks are still stupid and rich.
Because Nate Robinson is just like Lowry this season���In playing time, he was able to efficiently score 12.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3 assists, with fewer mistakes and a stronger impact.
In the eyes of the Grizzlies, this is the best substitute for the team's starting point guard Conley. that's all.
Three players who were depressed due to various reasons signed with Lin Feng and became Lin Feng's teammates in the new season because Lin Feng recommended the list to Knicks owner Dolan and general manager Donnie Wash.
"Mr. Dolan, General Manager Downey, your efforts will definitely pay off!"
"I promise!"
After Lin Feng listened to General Manager Downey's brief explanation of these processes, he smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
The two managers who decided the Knicks' lineup have indeed shown enough sincerity.
"Mr. Dolan, General Manager Downey, did you buy out Stephon Marbury?"
Lin Feng saw a big red cross drawn on the name of Marbury, nicknamed"Lone Wolf" in the list.
When Dolan, the bearded boss, heard Marbury's name, he said in a cold tone:"Yes. This guy is a cancer, a bomb in the locker room."
"I've had enough of his bloody drama with Thomas over the past two seasons!"
"So they both get out, we fire selfish Coach Thomas and bring in former Suns head coach Mike D'Antoni"
"I would rather lose $19 million than see that cancer remain on the team."
"Otherwise, he will continue to mess up the team's new season and make all our efforts go to waste!"
As for Marbury, who will be successful in China after a makeover in the future, Lin Feng also knows that he will be bought out by the Knicks in the new season, but the world before his rebirth will have to wait until February next year.
But he didn't Thinking of it, Marbury was bought out in advance.
It seems that Dolan and Donny Wash are afraid that Marbury, who they regard as a cancer, will affect those negative emotions and bad habits on Lin Feng, the team leader. Core.
So before Lin Feng saw Marbury, he was bought out at the source.
The Knicks spent a lot of money to build an excellent lineup around Lin Feng. The annual salary for Tony Allen and P.J. Tucker was doubled, and he was worried that Marbury would affect Lin Feng, so he simply bought him out in advance, not to mention the previous transaction, in order to get him. The two top scorers on the team last season were gone.
Zach Randolph and Jamal Crawford!
And a first-round pick! See Lin Feng staring at it!
Thinking about the list, Knicks boss Dolan thought he was shocked, and he might even find it incredible to get three signings so quickly.
The straightforward and bearded boss said with a hearty smile:"Lin, don't think these operations are surprising. Whatever money can solve is not a problem!"
"In order to find you enough capable helpers, we will continue to strengthen the team in the future."
"I don't care about the luxury tax, I just want to build a championship lineup!"
The Knicks are still as proud as ever.���But people are not stupid and have too much money as the outside world thinks.
"Lin, look at this is the preliminary starting list given to me by coach Mike D'Antoni."
General Manager Donnie Wash handed Lin Feng a list of the starting lineup.
Just as he expected, it was indeed these five people!
Kyle Lowry, Lin Feng, Tony Allen, PJ Tucker, David Lee.
The Knicks put all three people recommended by Lin Feng into the starting lineup just to be able to partner with him and make Lin Feng feel happy playing with the Knicks in the new season.
"Thanks to Mr. Dolan, General Manager Downey and Coach D'Antoni for their trust. Just wait for the good news I bring you in the new season!"
"The Knicks this season will definitely be shocking and completely soar to the sky!"
"If there's nothing else going on here, I'll go over and meet the team to report!"
Lin Feng smiled and thanked Dolan and Donnie Wash, then stood up and shook hands with them to say goodbye.
"Hahaha, Lin, I just love that you are always so confident!"
The bearded boss Dolan patted Lin Feng on the back with a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with his confidence and assurance, and he was also looking forward to the new season.......
Knicks training facility
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"......"
There was the sound of a basketball hitting the floor.
Apparently the other players arrived and started shooting drills.
Lin Feng opened the door and walked in.
Immediately attracted everyone's attention
