Chapter 350 Go Home! Pop Out of the FLAG in the East!
Lin Yi's choice for Donny Walsh is impressively...
Stephon Marbury!
You know, it was Donnie Walsh who was responsible for buying out Marbury's contract.
Marbury is a native New Yorker. After joining the Knicks, he wanted to lead the team out of the predicament, but what awaited him was boos and curses.
Marbury recalled this difficult time in the future. He said that he fell in love with Beijing absolutely from the bottom of his heart, because only in Beijing, he gained a respect.
Marbury, nicknamed "The Lone Wolf", was Garnett's best friend and was selected as an All-Star during the Nets and Suns.
After being traded back to the Knicks in the 03/04 season, Marbury announced excitedly: I am going home!
Too bad New York is not home.
Marbury joined the Celtics in 2009, and later due to injuries and other reasons, he went to the far east.
It was also from this moment that Marbury's life ushered in a major change.
CBA is indeed a place where you can change your life against the sky.
Marbury, who has undergone socialist transformation, has not yet joined the Beijing team, but Lin Yi knows that his mentality is very different from before.
In Shanxi and Foshan, Marbury was regarded as a hero. For the first time, he discovered that passing the ball is such a happy thing?
As the No. 4 pick of the golden generation in 1996, Marbury's gas tank is still full. He just can't accept the abuse from the people in his hometown. Lin Yi has seen the list of free agents provided by Donnie Walsh...
To be honest, instead of signing players whose names Lin Yi has never even heard of, it would be better to ask Ma Political Commissar.
At least Marbury, who has learned to pass the ball, can control the rhythm of the game.
...
After Lin Yi told Donnie Walsh about this idea, he also called the Knicks for an internal meeting.
"Oh no! Lin, your crazy idea can never be realized!" O'Neill was the first to stand up and object.
Many Knicks players are also "frightened after hearing the horse",
Rumors and rumors really killed people. In 2009, Marbury was rated as the number one NBA player who didn't want to be on the same team with him.
But in fact, 95% of those who voted for Marbury have never been teammates with him.
Before accepting socialist transformation, Comrade Marbury's three views were indeed deeply poisoned by capitalism, but after receiving socialist education, it is obvious that Marbury is also a good comrade.
Lin Yi had been prepared for a long time. He played several videos of Marbury playing in the CBA and being interviewed. O'Neal couldn't believe his eyes, "Is this really Stephen?"
Who is this kind bald man who isn't Marbury?
Although before he went to Beijing, Marbury could only be regarded as a comrade who had just joined the revolution, and he was not a political commissar, but it was obvious that Marbury's character had restrained a lot.
No one objected in the locker room now, and Billups also admitted frankly that Marbury was a difficult opponent to deal with at his peak.
The most important thing is that Lin Yi is not worried about Marbury's troubles, because he believes that if Marbury has a chance to prove himself to the people in his hometown again, he will cherish it.
What I'm afraid of is that many prodigal sons strike iron and never turn back.
...
When Marbury was joking with his Chinese teammates in Foshan, Guangdong, he couldn't believe that he got a call from the man who told him to pack up and get out of New York two years ago...
Donny Walsh.
"Stephen, it should be noon in China time right now? I want to talk to you about something." Donnie Walsh couldn't imagine that he would invite Marbury back one day.
But there is no way, in New York, Lin Yi is the sky, this is the first law in New York formulated by the Lin Yi Protection Association and the Lin Mi Police Department.
Marbury was silent for a while. He greeted his teammate Li Ke and asked his teammates to train first. He squatted on the ground and listened to Donny Walsh's phone call.
"Are you willing to return to the NBA? Stephen." Donnie Walsh asked.
NBA...
For Marbury, this is such a familiar but distant name.
Marbury remained calm, "Today is not April Fool's Day, Donnie."
Donny Walsh on the other end of the phone sighed, and the caller became Lin Yi.
"Stephen, hello, I'm Lin." Lin Yi said.
Lin...Lin Yi?
How could Marbury have never heard of Lin Yi's name? Although he said that he no longer paid attention to the NBA, he was a true New Yorker, so how could he not know Lin Yi.
Although I am Lin Yi's senior in terms of seniority, do I still have the right to rank with others in terms of seniority?
"Hello, Lin." Marbury's voice trembled.
"Come to the Knicks, come with me to get a trophy." Lin Yi's invitation was simple and direct.
Marbury fell silent.
"Stephen, I asked someone to ask about your contract with Foshan. Don't say that you are no longer interested in the NBA. If you are not interested, why did you include the clause that you can terminate the contract immediately when you are called up by the NBA?"
"I know, you hate the New York fans from the bottom of your heart, because the fans here kicked you out, but Steph, don't you want to go back to New York and prove yourself while you still have gas in the tank?"
"CBA is indeed very good, but why not go to CBA to continue your career with a ring?"
"Now, the opportunity is in front of you. We just lack a backup point guard. Come back and tell New York fans that you are not a cancer, you are a child of this city."
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of Lin Yi's chicken soup for the soul, Marbury, who was squatting on the ground on the other end of the phone, had already started to cover his face and cry.
Because he was young, he couldn't understand the contract of his friend Garnett, so he left New Jersey.
Because of his young age, he felt that the Nets had no future to go to the Suns to re-prove.
Because he was young, he indulged in nightclubs and smoked marijuana after returning to New York. Amidst the boos and curses of New York fans, the young Marbury finally tasted the bitter fruit of youth.
There are many times when people cannot make excuses for being young.
In China, Marbury found his love for basketball, but he has always had an obsession in his heart... because he is a New Yorker.
Backup point guard?
That's right, the current self is no longer that chasing boy.
The teammates in Foshan didn't know what happened to Marbury. Seeing the former NBA All-Star player sitting on the ground and crying, they were very curious. Did Ma and his wife quarrel?
Li Ke plucked up his courage, stepped forward and patted Marbury on the shoulder, and asked in English: "Stephen, what's wrong with you? Do you need help?"
Marbury, who was already in tears, wiped away his tears and said, "It's Lin...it's Lin..."
Amidst Marbury's vibrato, Li Ke could clearly hear who was on the other end of the phone.
Lin Yi! ?
I'll be good!
Lin Yi of the New York Knicks?
Lin Yi heard the noise on Marbury's phone, the Foshan men's basketball team exploded!
Damn, God Lin Yi, please chat!
Marbury cried and handed the phone to his teammates, and Lin Yi also said hello to the players of the Foshan Men's Basketball Team.
If Lin Yi remembers correctly, Li Ke will also give commentary in the future, right?
Listening to Director Li's excited Beijing accent, Lin Yi felt his ears numb.
"Give back the phone to Stephen!" Lin Yi said to Li Ke.
"Okay, okay, don't hang up, God Lin Yi, Stephen! Stephen!" Li Ke returned the phone to Marbury, and a happy smile appeared on the face of Marbury who had recovered.
"Lin! I want to play basketball!"
Come on!
"Help me tell Li Ke that Foshan is going to choose a new foreign aid." Lin Yi was finally relieved after Marbury was done.
At least until Livingston comes back, the Knicks must hold on to the positions they have laid down so far.
Lin Yi agreed to Livingston and would take him to touch the floor of the finals.
Even if the thighs are not thick enough, Lin Yi's calves are thin!
How about just jumping and jumping out of the East?
