Chapter 431 This is Basketball! (Second update!)
At the beginning of August, the labor and management sides negotiated again, and continued to talk about the collapse. NBA President David Stern announced that if the labor negotiations still do not make progress, the preseason games of the new season will be cancelled.
More and more NBA players began to look for a way out, and there were disunity in the players union. Some players insisted on maximizing their interests, while others were more inclined to compromise with the management.
On August 8, after arriving in China, Lin Yi first went home to visit his parents. The two elders are in good health. Apart from encouraging Lin Yi to continue working hard, what they are most interested in is Lin Yi's girlfriend Olsen, who wants his son to take her home to see.
Lin Yi nodded, saying that he would bring Olsen back with him when he came back next time, but to Lin Yi's regret, the two elders still had no interest in life in the United States, as long as Lin Yi was in good health.
Feeling sorry for the parents of the world, Lin Yi decided to take the two elders to travel around after he retired, so as to make up for the two elders.Since ancient times, the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety, there is indeed too much bitterness behind the professional players making money.
In order to spend a few more days with the two elders, Lin Yi postponed his trip to China and took the two elders to have a good time.
……
On the 10th, the first event of Lin Yi's China trip blew up the scene. Before Lin Yi returned to China, Dayao reminded Lin Yi that he had occupied the top spot on the Forbes China Celebrity List for two consecutive years. However, Lin Yi himself did not expect that his popularity had reached such a terrifying level.
There was a sea of people at the event site, all shouting their names, regardless of the pirated version, 80.00% of the fans were wearing Knicks No. 44 jersey.
Especially when the host asked Lin Yi to perform a slam dunk, the entire event scene was shouting MVP, MVP.
Even O'Neill, Curry, and Clay were frightened by that earth-shaking momentum, it's incomparable, it's really incomparable!
O'Neill believes that even ten Kobes can't create such a terrible atmosphere.
It is said that Clay and Curry have been fighting a lot in the past two days, and Lin Yi can't stop it at all, because both of them firmly believe that their shooting skills are better than the other's. This is how children get angry, and they insist on competing.
Many days Lin Yi can see such a scene——
"You're too weak!" Curry said to Clay after scoring a goal one-on-one.
"It turns out that NBA20+ scorers are nothing more than that." Clay said after successfully defending Curry.
The three-pointers between the two won and lost each other, and neither of them accepted the other. The "Splash Brothers" in Lin Yi's memory is really on the line. The picture of the Knicks and the Warriors in the future should not be too beautiful, especially when Clay kills Curry.
Lin Yi felt that he was a sinner, and unexpectedly dismantled such a pair that should have been recorded in history.
Closer to home, Lin Yi's three consecutive days of activities made the Chinese fans extremely happy, because not only Lin Yi had no airs, but O'Neal, Curry, and Clay even had fun with the fans.
After retiring, O’Neill completely let himself go. When he came to China, he wanted to eat whatever he wanted. One day in the hotel, O’Neill brought some snacks for takeaway. When he smelled the aroma of roast duck, Lin Yi really wanted to kick this fat man to Shanghai to meet Kobe. (At this time Kobe was carrying out activities in Shanghai)
The Chinese that Clay learned has gained him a lot of popularity. Chinese fans love Wuwu. Although Clay is a rookie, he also experienced the thrill of being a star in advance during this China tour.
When going to a certain Hope Primary School for activities, Curry wore a red scarf. Don't tell me, when the elementary school students squatted down and took a group photo with a bunch of children, the picture was really harmonious.
……
On the 15th, a variety show called "This Is Basketball" that Penguin and Lin Yi had previously discussed also started recording. Now basketball is the hottest topic in China. Affected by this, Penguin decided to plan an online variety show by itself to build momentum for monopolizing NBA broadcast rights in the future.
Under Lin Yi's strong request, members of Penguin Sports can pass the student ID certification. As long as they are students, they will be exempted from 70.00% of the fees. The fees charged by Penguin Sports are too exaggerated.
"This is Basketball" is an idea proposed by Lin Yi. He has watched too many variety shows in the future. After casually mentioning a few ideas, Penguin's planning department came up with a practical plan. The recording time of the program is not long. The purpose of the program is to stimulate the upsurge of basketball by tapping the basketball talents in China, so that the majority of teenagers don't stay at home and play more sports.
This summer is too long. Lin Yi plans to start his own training camp at the end of September until the end of early November. After the long season is over, Lin Yi also needs time to rest and adjust. After all, his training methods are not scientific.
In this variety show, Lin Yi and Clay are divided into one camp, and O'Neill and Curry are divided into another camp. They are selected through one-on-one, three-on-three competitions, Lin Yi and O'Neill as mentors, and the top three with the best performance will have the opportunity to participate in Lin Yi's training camp.
What Lin Yi never expected was that Guo Ailun, Ding Yanyuhang, and Zhou Qi all came to participate in "This Is Basketball"
There is no way, Lin Yi and O'Neill are the mentors, this lineup is too luxurious, and Lin Yi's training camp is even more tempting.
Lin Yi looked up at the sky. There is no comparison. You must know that many of the players who came to participate in the show are private players and CUBA players. Why are you guys from the National Youth Team here to join in the fun?
However, Guo Ailun and others' participation in the program reminded Lin Yi that it was time for the summer Asian Championships to train these young Chinese players.
Back in China this time, Lin Yi was deeply moved by the enthusiasm of the fans. Lin Yi would not consider too many miscellaneous off-court factors, he just wanted to repay these lovely fans.
Although in Lin Yi's memory, the men's basketball team led by Deng Huade will win the Asian Games metaphysically, but after all, the 12 Olympic Games is Dayao's last wish. Lin Yi is afraid that his butterfly effect will change the trajectory of history, so to be on the safe side, Lin Yi decided that in order to promote the development of Asian basketball, it is time to shout out the Asian nuclear peace!
Lin Yi contacted the Basketball Association through Dayao, hoping that the men's basketball team could bring Guo Ailun, Ding Yanyuhang, Zhou Qi and other young players to the Asian Championships.
As a result, the leaders of the Basketball Association stopped doing it as soon as they heard it. What are you kidding about, this Asian Championship is related to the qualification for next year's Olympic Games.
The original plan of the Basketball Association was to let Deng Huade bring Dazhi, Ah Lian, and then add a bunch of veterans to win back the championship of the Asian Championship.
"A Lin has already promised me to come back to play in the Asian Championships." Yao Ming was also very patient. After listening to the explanation from the leadership of the Basketball Association, he told the Basketball Association about Lin Yi's decision to play in the Asian Championships.
"Didn't I say it a long time ago, the men's basketball team must speed up the replacement of the old and the new!"
"That's right, the men's basketball team can't rely on veterans alone. It's time for young people to come out and take some responsibility."
"Guo Ailun, Ding Yanyuhang, and Zhou Qi are all good seedlings. They should go to the Asian Championships to experience the world!"
When the Basketball Association heard that Lin Yi was coming back, it turned its face faster than turning a book, and it almost hugged Lin Yi's thigh and cried, boss, you are simply a benefactor!
The Basketball Association has no reason not to be excited, because they can't afford Lin Yi's current status, NBA championship, season double first team plus three MVPs, what kind of bicycle do you need to bring this kind of nuclear weapon back?
You must know that in order to ensure the qualification for the 2012 London Olympics, the Basketball Association even moved the idea of letting Dayao come back to play. Yao Ming did not tell the Basketball Association that Lin Yi would come back to play in the Asian Championships because he had already seen the true colors of this group of people.
Dayao was deliberately trying to build momentum for Lin Yi. When the outside world generally looked down on the prospects of the men's basketball team, Lin Yi announced that he would play the Asian Championships, and he would come back as a savior. At that time, public opinion and fans would all be on Lin Yi's side, and the Basketball Association would have no way to block Lin Yi.
Yao Ming wanted to play in the London Olympics again, especially after Lin Yi appeared. Yao Ming didn't want to miss the opportunity to cooperate with the strongest teammate he could meet in his national team career.
On the 27th, the recording of the "This Is Basketball" program was completed. O'Neal, Curry, and Clay returned to the United States first. O'Neal had a good time and was about to go back to start his commentary career; Curry was going to accompany Ayesha on his honeymoon. At the end of September, he would fly directly to Los Angeles to train with the members of the 9 star group; Clay wanted to practice alone for a while. Hard work.
On the 28th, Lin Yi took Guo Ailun and others to report to the national team. These three young people turned "This Is Basketball" upside down, completely destroying the suspense and effect of the show. A bunch of folk masters have now seen the insurmountable gap between professional and amateur.
The show is expected to be aired in October, with a total of six episodes. Lin Yi is not worried that the show will not be popular. You must know that when he returns to China this time, it is not a problem to bring bodyguards when he goes out, because fans of his height can recognize him from a long distance.
"So, for this Asian Championships, let's go all the way through!"
Lin Yi plans to let the entire Asian basketball experience what basketball is.
He didn't come back to look at Asia, but to overlook Asia.

Lin Yi will definitely help him realize it. As for the basketball association and so on, let's not discuss it.After all, everyone thinks, if there is Lin Yi in reality, do you also want to see him wearing the national team jersey?And the 11/12 season is suspended, Lin Yi has plenty of rest time, right?
