Chapter 422 The Legendary Curtain Call! Earthquake, Union Are You Ready?
On the 12th, the Knicks held a championship parade, and the whole New York was having fun.
After a lapse of 38 years, the Knicks won the O'Brien Cup again. New York, it really took too long.
Millions of people participated in the championship parade, which is a fan carnival.
Knicks owner James Dolan once again showed his magnanimity. You must know that the Lakers spent a total of 3.5 million U.S. dollars during the 10-year championship parade, of which the Los Angeles government also sponsored 1.5 million U.S. dollars...
money?
Hehe, don't mention money to me, Dolan, what's a mere 10-20 million consumption?
I, James Dolan, have it all!
After the Knicks won the championship this year, people suddenly realized that the Knicks not only did not pay the luxury tax in the 10/11 season, but also had the lowest total salary.
Dolan can be woken up by laughing in his dreams. At this time, ask him for money?
Blessed are the fans who participated in the championship parade. The New York government has specially designated a road to hold a hot pot festival for Dolan. In Dolan's own words, eat well, play well, drink well, and don't worry about anything else!
During the championship parade, the Knicks players had a lot of interactions with the fans. Facts once again proved that there is still something shady about the interaction...
After all, considering the safety of the players, basically the fans who can participate in the player interaction are carefully selected by the Knicks.
Lin Yi also specially prepared hundreds of red envelopes. It would be a cliché to send money on the championship day. All the red envelopes contained star cards signed by Knicks players.
The fans who got Lin Yi's red envelopes were extremely happy, and Bilson Jorge grabbed several red envelopes. So after generously giving his father a red envelope with O'Neill's signature star card, he also kindly reminded his father, "Dad, the third generation of Reaper is new, and there are six colors."
Old Jorge looked up at the sky, "Understood, I will buy you a pair tomorrow."
Bilson nodded obediently, but he suddenly realized that he is only 11 years old now, and he doesn't know how big his feet will grow in the future, "Dad, why don't you buy a pair of every size?"
"Buy, buy, buy!" Old Jorge thought, fortunately your mother didn't know that I had been hiding my private money...
New York has become a sea of joy. The importance of this championship to the city is self-evident. A "Little Apple" can completely take off.
Many Knicks players brought their families to participate in the parade, and Lin Yi also generously announced his relationship with Olsen, which made Gallinari feel very unreal...
Sharif, O'Neill's son, also made a guest appearance as the host. In an interview with Sharif, Lin Yi said: "Seize today, don't believe in tomorrow. If you are afraid of failure, you will fail. The championship is not our end, I believe New York There will be another 'Hot Pot Festival' in the future!"
Lin Yi's chicken soup for the soul is not so powerful. As the media revealed more and more details after the Knicks won the championship, people know how hard Lin Yi usually works. A person who always loves to talk about poisonous chicken soup suddenly said Chicken Soup for the Soul, the effect explodes in situ.
But what moved the New York fans the most was Marbury's speech. Marbury burst into tears when he delivered the speech. The CBA created a legend, and the life of the political commissar can be regarded as brilliant.
When O'Neal spoke, he complained about Kobe, and said that he had one more FMVP than Kobe. In addition, O'Neal announced his retirement when he made a speech, and the fans offered their blessings to the fat man.
O'Neal has nothing to regret at this moment, the only pity is that because of the damn free throw, he failed to achieve the achievement of 30,000 points.
But three consecutive FMVPs, five championships, one MVP, countless first rounds, All-Stars... Many people think that O'Neal is already the number one center in NBA history.
So far, the former OK combination has each won 5 championships. People are wondering, will Kobe be stimulated to win another championship because of this?
After all, Kobe is only 32 years old now!
Whether Kobe can win the sixth championship is hard to say, but Lin Yi believes that if the trajectory of history changes and Kobe is not seriously injured, the historical record of blacksmithing will definitely be set to a new height by him.
After the championship parade, James Dolan also took the initiative to talk to Lin Yi. This time, Dolan mainly came to express his position. The talks between labor and management have now collapsed. Dolan knew that the lockout was inevitable. The reason why he talked to Lin Yi was I don't want to give Lin Yi the impression of being a stingy boss.
After all, labor negotiations are a matter of position. Both labor and management are for their own interests, and there is no absolute right or wrong.
In fact, Lin Yi thinks that Dolan is too worried. In the future, you can give Anthony the right to trade veto and a maximum salary, let alone Lin Yi now?
Lin Yi will definitely not participate in this labor war. Ewing's misery in his later years has nothing to do with his big mouth during labor negotiations. Let the old fish Fisher take the lead in fighting, anyway, the "Lin Yi" The terms of exchange are also beneficial to oneself.
The chat between Dolan and Lin Yi was very pleasant. These bosses are all good people, and they all wish they could have Jordan on their team. The head star can drive the box office. Players who shout for maximum salary are the thorn in the eyes of the bosses.
...
The championship parade was over, and Curry, who was in New York during this period of time, returned to Oakland first to prepare for his wedding with Ayesha. In addition, Curry had promised to return to China with Lin Yi in the summer after the wedding.
Harden Linyi couldn't move anymore, "Big Beard" is now very happy.
On the 24th, the draft will be held at the Prudential Center Arena in New Jersey. Next season, the Nets will move to Brooklyn to be closer to the Knicks, but the Knicks are now in the limelight. The status is not as good as the Clippers in Los Angeles...
On the 14th, when Lin Yi continued to challenge his and Olsen's new record, Yahoo Sports' top reporter Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news on Twitter that there would be an earthquake on the day of the draft.
Lin Yi is very familiar with this reporter's name. Chinese fans prefer to call him "Wo Shen". He can often break some big NBA news in advance, and you can see him behind various decisions.
So Lin Yi tweeted Wo Shen, "What earthquake? Is there an earthquake in New York? Am I going to prepare for evacuation?"
Wo Shen: "..."
Wo Shen replied to Lin Yi on Twitter, "I mean that there will be major transactions on draft day."
Lin Yi knew that Woshen never made groundless rumors, but this guy likes to tantalize people, so he continued on Twitter, "Actually, I also have a secret to tell you, let me tell you... ..”
Wo Shen: "..."
What's the news? Wait, is it Lin Yi who wants to break the news for himself?
But, you said it!
Lin Yi stopped talking halfway through, which made Woshen very uncomfortable, so after waiting for several hours without Lin Yi's reply, Woshen hurriedly asked his colleague Speed for Lin Yi's phone number.
However, Wo Shen called, but Lin Yi refused to answer!
Wo Shen's heart is very stuffy, negative emotions +1+1+1...
This is Lin Yi's revenge for the fans. You must know that in the past, in order to wait for Wo Shen to break the news, Lin Yi had to climb over the wall and wait for a long time. As a result, he waited for a long time, and often all he waited was one sentence: major news is about to happen, and the result will come soon Just out, XXX is making a decision...
However, Lin Yi knew that although Woshen liked to tease people's appetites, his words would be highly credible.
"It seems that the Knicks are not the only ones who want to make trouble." Which teams are going to make trouble? It's impossible for Kobe to make a decision, right?
The draft in 2011 was really interesting!
