Chapter 715 Lin Yi, Whose Worth Is a Bit Exaggerated

Just when Lin Yi led the New York gang to attack Los Angeles, the two vice presidents of the league, Jaylen Diss, had a private meeting with Mark Tatum.

As Stern's assistants, the two had a very close relationship, as good as the one who had carried a gun together.

"Jaylen, Adam's succession cannot be changed. You and I both know this. No one can shake David's will." After taking a sip of red wine, Tatum looked at Diss and said.

"Hey, Mark, I know what you said. Adam has the ability to have connections, and he is indeed the best successor to David. But old man, I always feel that Adam may not be able to accommodate me after he succeeds." Gerondis said very Clearly, as long as Xiao Hua succeeds to the throne, then he will most likely be thrown into an idle position to support the elderly.

As for Tatum? Silver will not move, because of the affairs of the Asia-Pacific region, no one in this league can do better than Tatum.

Tatum said meaningfully: "Diss, you are talking about the argument you had with Adam last time when you were discussing whether to make Lin three consecutive MVPs?"

Diss nodded, "Mark, Adam is different from David. You and I have refuted David, but David will not hold a grudge because of it. Adam looks more gentlemanly, but in fact this kind of person is more David was more difficult."

Tatum laughed, "Man, do you know what you're talking about now? Aren't you afraid of my recording? You are now publicly denigrating the character of the next president of the league."

Diss spread his hands, "You know what I'm saying is the truth."

While pouring wine for Diss, Tatum smiled and said, "I would say that you are more suitable to be in charge of the affairs of the Asia-Pacific region than I am, you know, Jay, the Chinese call this a look."

Diss heaved a long sigh, in fact, he and Xiao Hua just had some disagreements, and he also saw Xiao Hua's ability, but Diss always felt that Xiao Hua would screw everything up.

Tatum also understood what his friend wanted to express.

In fact, as the manager of the alliance, you cannot manage the alliance with emotions, but in many cases, you inevitably have to manage the alliance with emotions.

It doesn't matter whether he made Lin Yi three consecutive MVPs last year or made a bunch of gimmicks this year, everyone knows how much Stern loves Lin Yi.

But then again, the alliance's bumper harvest in the Chinese market in recent years is not due to Lin Yi?

Can you say Stern's decision was wrong?

Of course not.

What Diss is worried about is exactly what Tatum is worried about.

It is only a matter of time before the league suppresses the Knicks and Lin Yi. After all, with the league's consistent style of sharing resources evenly, it is impossible for them to give all resources to Lin Yi and the Knicks.

However... Can Xiao Hua grasp the scale of suppression, or reasonably allocate the resources of the alliance?

The discussion last year made Diss and Tatum see that Silver is a pure businessman.

He wants to turn the NBA into an outright commercial movie, as long as it sells well, it doesn't matter whether he is applauded or not.

And now everyone knows how big the league's next broadcast contract will be. Diss once suggested to Stern that if the league's salary inflation cannot be avoided, the league must make emergency plans.

Because the success of the NBA lies precisely in the fact that he has a set of scientific game rules, but when the content of the game changes, if the rules are not updated with the times, then the game will inevitably go out of control.

It's a pity that Stern, who is only thinking about watching his grandson's performance, is no longer thinking about how to build an alliance. In the words of the old man, don't bother me to watch Lin Yi. After labor and management retire, who cares about his flood?

Diss also approached Xiao Hua in private, but Xiao Hua's perfunctory words made Diss understand...his good days as vice president are coming to an end.

Xiao Hua is obviously not a person who can tolerate dissidents.

He just wants the NBA to make money.

After this high-level reshuffle of the league, the league is destined to enter an era that is unfamiliar to fans.

However, Tatum feels that he can't help his friend, maybe, he can only get drunk with him?

However, red wine is actually quite difficult to get drunk.

...

On the evening of the 18th, the Knicks arrived in Los Angeles.

And Lin Yi also received a special dinner invitation.

"Interesting." Lin Yi looked at the name on the invitation letter and suddenly fell into deep thought.

Jim Bass.

It is not uncommon in the NBA for players to eat with other team owners. After all, the Knicks will not play the Lakers next game.

However, Lin Yi knew very well that the purpose of the Lakers boss inviting him to dinner was definitely not pure.

Lin Yi guessed right.

"Lin, it's a great pleasure to have dinner with you. You know, I'm your number one fan." Jim Buss was very happy that Lin Yi didn't refuse his invitation. In addition, at this dinner, Lin Yi also met Kupchak, the legendary manager of the Lakers.

At the dinner, Kupchak described the grand blueprint for the future of the Lakers to Lin Yi, and also popularized the legendary history of the Lakers by the way.

"Kobe is old, Lin." Kupchak wasn't implying this anymore, he was expressing it.

Lin Yi continued to eat vegetables, since you like to practice Tai Chi, then I will show you the real Tai Chi method.

And looking at Lin Yi who was unmoved despite Kupchak's hints, Jim Buss on the side couldn't help it.

The concentration of this product is far worse than that of the old Bass.

In Lin Yi's opinion, if it was old Bass, he would definitely not show all his cards impulsively.

"Lin, are you willing to come to the Lakers? I can promise to give you a share in the Lakers after you retire." Jim Buss became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could give Lin Yi whatever Lin Yi wanted.

Lin Yi knew that the Lakers were serious this time.

It's different from joking with Kobe as usual.

The Lakers really moved their minds!

You know, after Jim Buss and Kupchak had various exchanges, they agreed that Lin Yi is the most suitable player for the current Lakers.

He is a three-time NBA MVP, and he also has two championship trophies. He is currently recognized as the number one active player in the league.

As long as the Lakers can recruit Lin Yi, Kupchak promised that he can quickly equip the Lakers with a championship team.

As for Kobe, it would be easier to explain, Jim Buss will persuade Kobe to assist Lin Yi at that time.

Buss Jr. believes that in this way, he will be able to bring the Lakers back to the championship before the date of his appointment with his sister Jenny Buss arrives.

At that time, he will be able to become the actual power holder of the Bass family.

And Jim Buss knew that the key to poaching Lin Yi was not whether the Lakers had equal bargaining chips, but Lin Yi himself.

As long as Lin Yi applies for a deal by himself, Bass doesn't believe that he can't get Lin Yi.

It's a pity that little Buzz's dream was good, but Lin Yi felt that it was time for him to wake up.

Are you kidding me? Labor and management are the bosses of the Knicks. You ask a boss to work for you?

New York is the largest city in the United States, and Los Angeles is only the second...

From the first to the second, Lin Yi would not do such a stupid thing of relegation.

Besides, Lin Yi is not rare at all with team shares, because he will definitely buy a team to play after he retires in the future, but not now.

In addition, with the precedent of Boss Qiao in front of him, would Lin Yi believe the verbal promises of these businessmen?

Even if he is working with Dolan, Lin Yi is on guard against Dolan, let alone someone like Bass whose IQ and EQ are obviously inferior to Dolan's?

Of course, Lin Yi was very happy to be invited by the Lakers.

After all, it is also an endorsement.

"The steak is good, but I think I should go." Lin Yi tactfully declined Jim Buss' invitation.

Lin Yi is not a person who wants to refuse and welcome. Someone has been hanging on the appetite of Knicks back then. Although this way of doing things can increase his social status, it is not necessary.

And looking at Lin Yiyuan's figure, Jim Buss was a little puzzled, "Why? Obviously James (Dolan) couldn't give us the chips we offered, but why did he still reject us?"

Kupchak patted Jim Buss on the shoulder, "Perhaps, this is the so-called loyalty! Jim, I have to remind you that international players have always been more loyal."

Jim Buss sighed helplessly, "Dude, it looks like we're stuck with Plan B."

Kupchak nodded, "Don't worry, I've already met Rich, and his employer is very interested in the Lakers' invitation."

Little Bass' complexion improved a little, "Is he loyal? It seems that we underestimated him."

"Yeah, he is really an admirable player." Kupchak said with emotion.

It's a pity...Lin Yi, who had already returned to the hotel, couldn't hear the discussion between Kupchak and Bass Jr.

Otherwise, Lin Yi would definitely have goosebumps.

What, are you misunderstanding me?

You seem to be thinking a lot!

However......

Perhaps Lin Yi himself didn't know that the Knicks really meant something different to him.

...

Dolan, who went to Copenhagen for vacation again, was very nervous when he learned that Lin Yi had dinner with Bass Jr. The Knicks owner immediately booked a ticket back to New York.

Before boarding the plane, Dolan even called Lin Yi to ask about his health, which made Lin Yi a little confused.

Dolan said to Lin Yi, "Lin, if you have any unhappy things, remember to tell me the first time, the Knicks are your team, now and in the future."

Lin Yi: "..."

Wait a minute, why does that sound like I'm trying to force a team?

Crooked, I'm not Jiang Zi's person!

"In addition, I have informed Downey that when we renew Wilson, we will definitely give him a satisfactory contract." Dolan emphasized on the phone.

Crooked, did you listen to me?

The Knicks are not my "friends team"! My fucking name isn't Leo!

"By the way, Lin, I customized a Bugatti for you as your wedding present." Dolan added.

Lin Yi: "..."

It's over.

What's more, is labor and capital the kind of people that can be bought with money?

Sorry, the custom Bugatti...seems to be pretty good.

However, Lin Yi felt that all this was simply inexplicable.

Obviously he is such a kind and easy-to-talk person.

"Lin, although it's too early to tell you this, I will give you the shares of the Knicks after you retire. How about you become the general manager at that time? Don't worry, I won't restrain you, and I'm not that kind People who don't count." Dolan said seriously, as if he was afraid that Lin Yi would be snatched away by others.

Fortunately, this is not a romance novel, otherwise what Dolan most wants to say to Lin Yi at this moment must be: my heart, my baby, my sweet baby, I will give you whatever you want!

look at the sky!

PS: The second change, 3K words

PS2: Sorry for not being able to update on time today. Pickup Qiao has a lot of brain pain today. Although she woke up at 7 o'clock in the morning and started typing, Kawenka was in a state of ecstasy. The more she wrote, the more anxious she became. After taking two cold medicines, she became sleepy... Fortunately, on the premise of ensuring the quality, I wrote (water) out!
