Chapter 74 China and the NBA
(Khan, the one uploaded just now has been reviewed. The fisherman repeatedly passes it again. After the review is completed, I will delete the previous chapter. Sorry)
"I really didn't expect that Lin Han was so good, and he didn't mean to be a big shot at all. It seems that our next life in the United States will not be very difficult."
"It's true. As the league's scoring champion and the candidate for the best rookie, such a superstar can actually have such an attitude towards us. Comparing the so-called national players in China, it's really shameful. They are like 2,500 or 80,000, as if they are the king of heaven."
"After all, this is in the United States, and the environment is different from that in China. By the way, do you think we are going to the University of Utah to see it? Isn't Ma Jian having a very pleasant relationship with the Basketball Association? I really hope that more and more Chinese people can enter the NBA. Except for Lin Han, Ma Jian should be the most promising. I heard that he is now the main insider of the University of Utah."
"If Lin Han can represent the Chinese team to play the Olympics and the conflict between Ma Jian and Basketball Association is lifted, then we may really create the best results in history in the next Atlanta Games. By that time, Wang Zhi should be able to admit that he will participate in the competition. Although this little guy is only 16 years old, there are not many people in China who are his opponents. If there are three years left, it will be unimaginable."
"Didn't it mean that the Beijing-Beijing team and the 81 team are suing for ownership for him recently? It would be great if there was less nonsense in China, but it would be not that easy for Wang Zhizhi, who has joined the 81 team, to come to the United States to play the NBA."
When Lin Han saw this group of reporters who came from China, Lin Han was really full of guilt and uneasiness, especially since Little Lin Han received American education. Although his background and parents' family education have made him not have much sense of belonging to the United States, he is not a complete second-generation immigrant. Just like after his parents came to the United States, they were also full of class hatred for this evil capitalist country. If they were not really unable to survive on the other side, they would not have come here. Therefore, this environment makes Lin Han's current thoughts and values very complicated.
Let me say he is a banana man. Lin Han does not have any of the characteristics of forgetting his ancestors like a banana man. He says he still regards himself as a Chinese. His special identity is a traitor, especially during this period when the cold war just ended. Although China-US relations had long broken through, the relationship was not that good. Especially after the incident in the capital of the Celestial Empire four years ago, the Celestial Empire almost became the enemy of the whole world. The reform and opening up were interrupted. After all, the US almost blocked the Celestial Empire after that, and it was also six years ago. The child of a very large family in the Celestial Empire was secretly killed in South America while preparing to escape to the Celestial Empire. This incident caused a sensation in the whole world.
Moreover, in American TV and movies or many official news textbooks, journalists or foreign affairs personnel from the Celestial Empire and the Soviet Union are basically equivalent to special-professional workers. As for the embassies of the Soviet Union and the Celestial Empire, they are basically the "special-workers" base camps of the two countries, and they need to be wary of them at all times.
But if Lin Han knew at this time that these reporters from the Celestial Empire were not special workers in his mind, Lin Han would have been speechless. Although the Celestial Empire did a lot of things that could be considered as dark history in the past, it has been reformed and opened up again, and many techniques have been no longer used. The domestic environment has also undergone tremendous changes since 1992, but because of the Western world environment where Lin Han lives, the information received is only some negative information.
Moreover, whether it is Su Kun, Sun Zhengping and other staff members are really here to interview NBA, and they are invited by David Stern, the president of the alliance.
It is now 1993. The current Celestial Empire has no money except for a slightly larger population. After the reform and opening up, it encountered the capital four years ago, which led to the G-DP growth rate of the Celestial Empire four years ago and three years ago. You should know that the G-DP growth rate of the Celestial Empire in that special era in the 1960s and 1970s was 8%. Although it has improved a little in the past two years, it has not yet entered the stage of rapid development again. In this case, in China, except for the Ministry of Communications and Xinhua News Agency, few units in China can place a large number of staff overseas. The current official media ccav is still worried about not receiving advertising fees. How can we send a working group for Lin Han now?
Almost all the reasons why these guys are here are David Stern. Although the Celestial Empire has not broadcasted NBA games in the world, they have really broadcasted NBA games. As early as 6 years ago, CCV broadcasted the NBA All-Stars of that year. In 198-9, David Stern even went to Celestial Empire with a videotape to find Celestial Empire, hoping to cooperate. Although David Stern also knew that Celestial Empire has no money now, and Celestial Empire now has no advertising fees, where can we get the money to buy the copyright of the NBA game? So in order to open up the Celestial Empire's market, David Stern almost did not have any money for the Celestial Empire.
The copyright of the NBA game is really half sold and half given away, and it is even said it is a gift. Even after Lin Han scored 62 points in his first regular season game this year, David Stern flew directly to the Celestial Empire, hoping that the Celestial Empire could broadcast the NBA live, and even hoped that the Celestial Empire could send team reporters. In addition to the poor live broadcast cost, such as the CCAV working group and reporters like Su Qian, David Stern even guaranteed that all their expenses in the United States in the past two years were considered the NBA official. David Stern gave them an official identity and even could receive salary from the NBA official.
Such treatment really shocked the leaders of CCV, China Sports News and many other major domestic media such as Xinhua News Agency. They really had no reason to reject this lunatic who came from the United States. You should know that this lunatic who came from the United States started to run to the Tian Dynasty from 198-9. CCV let David Stern go for five years, but now he really can't let the pigeons go. This guy is so sincere. He is simply a communist-communist-international-warrior, and contemporary Bethune.
It has to be said that Lin Han's appearance in the NBA really gave David Stern the capital to open the other side market as soon as possible and make a bet on all the money. Otherwise, who would know what the situation would be like in a few years? Now, the NBA needs to find new markets in professional sports around the world, but those professional sports leagues have not yet set their sights on the poor opposite side. David Stern has always believed in his sense of smell very much. He believes that he now loses millions of dollars every year to cultivate the NBA market on the other side. In the future, the other side will create hundreds of times more value for the NBA than millions of dollars, and every year.
Since being invited to the United States by David Stern and moved to Utah, whether it was Su Kuan, Sun Zhengping or other journalists and staff, it was really exciting and incredible. Not only did the NBA official rent a collective apartment for them in Utah, paying them a salary every month, and taking care of them to the fullest. Even the Jazz are taking special care of them. Obviously, this is both the NBA official signing and Lin Han.
After Lin Han performed that shocking miracle in the New York Knicks, the Chinese rookie almost directly conquered all Jazz fans and Jazz management. From now on, Lin Han is the real leader of the Jazz team. Even Humphries or Barnot and other Jazz players who are very unhappy with Lin Han have nothing to say. There is no way. Lin Han can't compete with him now.
"Is this the feeling of watching NBA games on the spot? It's so cool"
On November 23, 1993, the Jazz faced the Dallas Mavericks who came to challenge again at home. The Jazz's record is 8 wins and 0 losses, ranking second in the league and second in the West. The Dallas Mavericks' current record is 1 wins and 8 losses. In addition to defeating the Timberwolves, which are also beating the Timberwolves, it is really hard to win. Although the two leading players of this team, Mashburn and Jim Jackson, have been very happy to score data recently, especially the rookie Marshburn. Since the four rookie Marshburn, Lin Han, Hardaway and Leidel, were named by the NBA and were named "Four Little Super Swingers" by the United States Today, Marshburn, as the successor of Dominic Wilkins, was in the team.
The position inside has simply risen sharply. After all, this rookie is really strong now. Even if you don’t play, you can have the strength to average nearly 20 points per game. In addition, because the popularity of the league is indeed rising rapidly, the Mavericks’ official positions are not concerned about that. Even if you create the worst record this year, you will create the worst record. It doesn’t matter anyway. Last year was the last, so what if you are the last this year? Moreover, last year was also the year of the draft. Not only did Grant Hill, the darling of the whole United States, but also Kidd, Glenn Robinson, Zhu Wan Howard and others. If you really get one of these four rookies and form the three musketeers with Marshburn and Jim Jackson, the Mavericks may really rise.
So just as the season started, the Mavericks were a bit like throwing apart. In this case, it is easy to imagine what the away game between the Mavericks and the Jazz can be like, and the game process is simply terrible.
But even such a very incredible game was still extremely delicious for Su Chin, Sun Zhengping and others, because they had never felt what a basketball game that was so crazy about more than 10,000 people on the scene was like.
Especially when these fans are shouting someone's name, the shock makes them even more crazy.
"Teacher Sun, I, I heard it right. After Lin Han got the ball, Lin Han's name was shouting at the scene?!"
This game was destined to be a wonderful game from the beginning. The equality, morale, and even home and away factors of both sides are no longer on the same level, but one thing is very interesting, that is, as soon as Lin Han gets the ball, all the Jazz fans shouting the name of the rookie.
The deafening momentum almost scared the rookie reporter Su Chin to a slight verbal sensation. He really didn't expect that Lin Han would have such popularity in the Jazz. You know, neither Malone nor Stockton was treated like this. In Su Chin's heart, they were real superstars, Olympic champions, members of Mengyi team, what is Lin Han now? He beats the members of Mengyi team?!
It's just obvious that Su Chin didn't think about what shock Lin Han brought to Jazz fans in the last game against the New York Knicks. The game against the New York Knicks was away, and their emotions could not be vented. In this home game, they almost expelled all the excitement and emotions they had been holding back for several days in this game against the Mavericks. So in this game, Jazz fans were able to put Malone and Stockton aside and cheer for Lin Han, probably only once. In the hearts of Jazz fans, how could Lin Han be comparable to Stockton and Malone?
"Well, this should be the NBA superstar. I didn't expect that one day I could see a Chinese person achieving such great success in NBA."
At this time, Sun Zhengping, as an elder, was not much better than Su Qun's emotions, and even had tears in his eyes. The Chinese who grew up in that era always had various pure feelings. Obviously, Lin Han had hit a g-point of his feelings.
The group of reporters from the Celestial Empire are very excited. Although they are watching the game and are also in a mad manner, they are more devoted than the Jazz fans on the scene. Even after the game, they all have a feeling of unsatisfactory. Whether this game is exciting is not that important, what is important is that they sink into it.
126 to 110, the Jazz easily defeated the Mavericks at home to win 9 consecutive victories. Lin Han was in a duel with Mashburn this time. Marshburn was no longer cold and just played back and jump shot with Lin Han. Now he has no capital to show that superior attitude in front of Lin Han, so in this game, Mashburn, who was fully fired in this game, made Lin Han burst Lin Han not even scum on the offensive end. Lin Han also knew for the first time after entering the league that there was a type of player called the "Observing Kaleidoscope", if not Lin Han
