Chapter 837 An Old Smoker
Chapter 837
In this fantasy world, Jeremy Lin's early career was not so hard.
When Jeremy Lin successfully signed with the Golden State Warriors, Diana Day came to the door and took over his career.
You know, Diana Day was already the No. [-] agent in the NBA at that time.
Moreover, she is known for picking up leaks——
Has surpassed Greg Zhuge Weiqi and Michael Krypton Eye Jordan, and has become the most discerning presence in the NBA!
Any player who is favored by this woman, no matter how low in the draft, how cowardly he looks, or how rubbish his talent is, after a few years, his future will be limitless, and at worst he can earn tens of millions of dollars in annual salary!
Therefore, Jeremy Lin, who has the blessing of his agent halo, has seen a sudden rise in the market. Not only has he received the attention of the Spurs, Eagles, Raptors and other teams, but various endorsement contracts have also floated over like snowflakes...
Thankfully, no more couch sleeping!
After solving the financial worries, the sober-minded Jeremy Lin immediately asked Diana Day to arrange a personal trainer.
In this fantasy world, it is not impossible for Chinese Americans to gain a foothold in the NBA——
There were Zhao Ke and Wang Zhizhi in front, and Yao Bi and Yi Jianlian in the back. They are all living chestnuts!
However, they also went through hell-like training before they achieved later success.
Especially Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian, it can be said that hard training has reversed their careers——
People are expensive for their own use!
Jeremy Lin's basic skills are flawed without being polished in the top NCAA schools, especially the shooting in confrontation!
Jeremy Lin's Bole——
Mike D'Antoni once said that Jeremy Lin's drive, big picture and passing reminded him of Steve Nash...
The only thing Mustache didn't mention was shooting.
He is a good man, but he does not reveal his shortcomings.
But the shortcomings exist objectively, and he himself knows very well that point guards are calm and wise.
Therefore, after joining the Golden State Warriors, Jeremy Lin silently followed the team to familiarize himself with the NBA environment, and at the same time practiced shooting more, plus playing monsters and upgrading in the NBDL's Reynolds Bighorn...
However, the Warriors' guard line was too crowded at the time, and there was a core like Monta Ellis who was at his peak.
Even Ku Hao, who hasn't started playing, averages no more than 14 shots per game!
What's more, they got Klay Thompson in the draft!
Thompson is much better than Jeremy Lin, and he also has a wonderful three-pointer. With the whole league eager for the second Zhao Ke to appear, how favored is this kid?
Therefore, Jeremy Lin was laid off without any surprise.
The inertia of history is still there. The New York Knicks threw out an olive branch, and Jeremy Lin, a shot-enhanced version, has evolved into——
Linsanity, a more durable, more stunning, and more popular Linsanity!
Until the jealous Gua forced the palace, the Knicks management regretfully informed Jeremy Lin that he could find a way out for himself...
This is actually a good thing.
The muddy New York is not suitable for a supernova explosion!
But, in another timeline, Jeremy Lin's agent made a mistake:
He only considered Jeremy Lin's commercial value, not his room for growth.
Perhaps, he thinks that "Linsanity" is just a flash in the pan, like countless shining shooting stars in the NBA, it will soon disappear from everyone.
Therefore, taking advantage of Jeremy Lin's popularity, he cut his head and sent him to the big ball market to earn endorsements, such as:
Houston, like Los Angeles, like Charlotte, like Brooklyn...
Point guards have to hold the ball in their hands!
Sending him to a team with a top shooting guard who focuses on offense with the ball is not stupid, but self-destructive!
In the Mosaic team and the bearded Deng for the ball, or in the Lakers and the Black Mamba for the ball?
Are you afraid you have the little blue pill hidden in your pocket?
What happened later was even more outrageous:
To Charlotte there's Kemba Walker, to Brooklyn there's Spencer Dinwiddie!
It overlaps with the cornerstone of team building, are you going to rebel?
Well, now there's Diana Day.
In the summer of 2012, the Orlando Magic's starting point guard, Jameer Nelson, was poached by Dallas's two-child contract.
Under the arrangement of Diana Day, Jeremy Lin joined the Orlando Magic for 4 million US dollars in 3000 years, and teamed up with the MM combination!
Until now, the team has completed the reconstruction, and he is still an indispensable backcourt engine for Orlando.
Times make heroes!
However, the LMM "Sister Lin" combination only played for one season.
L is still there, but MM has gone home to take the child!
In the summer of 2012, Yao Bi and McGrady announced at the same time that they would retire after the end of the next season.
This is why Jameer Nelson chose to leave.
The team is about to start rebuilding!
In other words, the MM combination can actually play for a few more years.
After the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, the Memphis Grizzlies Medical Center allocated a follow-up treatment team for the MM combination.
Of course, there is a fee for this.
It's just that Yao Bi's Achilles' heel and Maddie's congenital scoliosis cannot be cured, so they can only be treated conservatively.
Yao Bi's first ankle surgery was performed in Huaxia, and the results were simply horrible.
And his weight is so, so invincible.
So, it is inevitable.
As for McGrady, his orthopedic doctor once predicted that McGrady's career is only 3-5 years.
However, McGrady has played in the NBA for 15 years!
His spine is really impressive!
It is already a miracle in the medical and sports circles that the MM team can play more than 70 games in four consecutive seasons after returning home in the finals, and maintain an all-star output.
In the summer of 2012, the Memphis Grizzlies Medical Center did a new evaluation of the MM portfolio.
The results show that:
The 33-year-old McGrady and the 32-year-old Yao Bi have a very high risk of injury if they continue to play in the NBA——
Yao Bi's ankle and McGrady's spine can no longer support them in this fierce confrontational environment...
Time is a scalpel!
The recommendations given by the medical team are:
If you still want to play, then you can only play about 50 games per season, and only play about 20 minutes in the end of each game!
What a fart!
Yao Bi and Mai Di are not particularly stubborn people, but they have one characteristic, they don't give up!
In the past, there was Zhao Ke’s five consecutive championships with a blank face, and the Orlando Magic’s record and rankings have been declining year by year. Winning the championship is no longer possible. How about letting the team survive and get together?
In the end, the MM combination chose to retreat bravely in the rapids!
2012-2013赛季常规赛，姚佲和麦迪分别出战55场和62场，率队取得了50胜32负的成绩，名列东部第三。
In the playoffs, the two old smokers broke out completely, completely ignoring the doctor's orders:
If you die, you will die, if you fight, you will fight!
The Orlando Magic went all the way through, playing the peerless splendor of six years ago, and finally fell in the sixth game of the Eastern Conference Finals...
Stop at exhaustion, even if you lose, you will be honored!
Come on in Wuhan! Go China!
