This Forward is Not Serious

Lin Ying's remarks not only caused the cheers of Barclays Center to resume, but also caused thunderous applause.

This is so true!

And even that's not just basketball, it's what makes professional sports so beloved.

Not only because the top of the sport can make a lot of money, because the pyramid income of any industry is not cheap, but also because of what it can bring to ordinary people, 999 in this world are ordinary people.

In this regard, the Mamba Mentality is a similar example, only it has been transformed into a belief-like thing.

When you face difficulties and setbacks, if you can think of such a passage, or such a spirit, you are no longer afraid of failure, and you will not be unable to get out because you are trapped in setbacks, then this sport has its best great meaning.

In the cheers and applause of the fans, Lin Ying raised the p trophy in his right hand again.

The camera showed that his middle finger, which was swollen from the bandage, seemed to be raising the most dazzling flag at this time.

This is the era of the Nets, and it is also the era of Lin Ying!

Two days after the Nets won the championship, there was a massive championship parade in New York.

The scale of this parade is unprecedented, and the significance of four consecutive championships is extraordinary.

After participating in the championship parade, the team members went to the largest local nightclub to celebrate.

This is also where R brought Davis during the Finals.

After the finals, this matter was exposed by spn for the first time, Davis was in prison, and he forcibly shared half of the firepower for James.

As for LeBron's retirement, which fans are most concerned about, LeBron didn't answer at first, and when it was really bad, he said something very LeBron James said:

"Yes, I will be a basketball coach when I retire, but not now, I can't leave my team like this, we still have uncompeted careers."

Everyone can hear that he is very irresponsible, but James's characteristics of not being rude in the past turned out to be a good thing at this time, because the fans had long known that he would not deliver.

Of course, it was inevitable that his reputation would drop because of this incident and also because of the robbery.

Lin Ying did not go to the nightclub with the team, he went to a local private manor, and then had a meeting with Vulcan Deen and Prokhorov online.

"Lin, I have to thank you, you have brought the team to an unprecedented level, and I am incredibly proud of you."

Prokhorov's words were full of gratitude, but more than reluctance.

His subsequent turning point also illustrates the source of this reluctance.

"I have to sell the Nets because of my country, I told Mark a few times about this, but now I want to give you power, this is the basketball kingdom you created, you have the power to choose who becomes the team New boss."

And what Prokhorov said next was shocking.

Generally speaking, when a team owner sells a team, it must be the one with the highest price.

After all, who is going to have a hard time with it? You must know that the Nets’ market value is at least $4 billion. The difference between the first and second quotations is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Prokhorov gave Lin Ying such power, which was absolutely unprecedented and unique.

Of course, as he said, the Nets were only a low-end team before Lin Ying arrived. Although he invested a lot of money and moved to Brooklyn, it has increased in value, but at most it is only a team with a low market value. .

Lin Ying came to the Nets in 2011, and it has only been 8 years since then. In 8 years, he has won 6 championship trophies for the team. The only team in the league by market value.

From this point of view, this power is also justified.

Of course, all this is also related to Prokhorov's situation and his character.

Otherwise, with the values ​​of Westerners, it is impossible for the management to give players this kind of power. Just look at Jordan. Even if Jordan is so great, he can't even have any say in the transaction in the end.

After the online phone call with Prokhorov was over, Walkendian told Lin Ying a few big guys who were interested in the Nets.

There are many bosses, including the Canadian Boss Cai, who is familiar to Lin Ying.

However, these people basically have to join in the mode of forming a consortium, because the current market value of the Nets is too high.

If you really want to buy a team of this level at one time, and you can easily come up with this money, only a super boss like Ballmer next door can do it.

But this kind of super boss is hard to come by, so the situation of the consortium seems to be inevitable.

However, this will also make the prospects of the Nets more uncertain, because there are big bosses and small bosses in the consortium, and there will be more uncertainties if there are more people.

It was already late at night when he got home from the arena. Swift was already asleep. Lin Ying didn't bother, smoking a cigar and sitting in the river bay to watch the scenery.

It is said to be looking at the scenery, but in fact, it is also recalling the experience of this day.

I thought I could enjoy the joy after a period of four consecutive championships, but I didn't expect to fall into a tangle so soon.

I was worried when suddenly there were footsteps coming from behind.

Lin Ying looked back and saw Swift came out wearing a coat.

"You're back."

Swift said, walked to Lin Ying and sat down, then leaned on his shoulder.

"How did you wake up?"

Lin Ying held her in his arms.

"I turned around and wanted to hug you, so I woke up."

Swift said and shrank back into Lin Ying's arms.

It was at this moment that Lin Ying was greatly touched.

In recent years, in order to win this four-peat, he has not spent much time with Swift.

Especially when Durant left this year, in order to complete the fourth consecutive championship, he often chooses to practice in the arena.

Most of the time, it can be said that most of the time, he fell asleep when he finished practicing.

There were also times when he would feel Swift hug him as he lay down.

"sorry."

At this moment, he felt a lot of guilt in his heart.

Many people envy his current life, but in order to do this, he unknowingly owes his family a lot.

You must know that after Swift's marriage, like many artists, album production has decreased, which is also a sacrifice.

He is arguably selfish by comparison.

Swift didn't speak, just reached out and hugged some Lin Ying tightly.

"Honey, do you remember what I told you about being the boss?"

Lin Ying said.

Swift in her arms gave a "hmm".

"I want to be the owner of the Nets."

Lin Ying said.

"Um?"

Hearing this, Swift straightened up from Lin Ying's arms and looked at Lin Ying with a look of astonishment.

"The sport doesn't have a bigger challenge for me."

Lin Ying immediately said with a smile.

Swift was one of the reasons he made that decision, but he couldn't let Swift think that way because of the pressure it put on.

And it really wasn't all the reasons he made this decision.

Because he just sat here thinking a lot, and finally he came to the conclusion that instead of worrying about those uncertain futures and deciding who will be his new boss, it is better to be his own boss!

Then he told Swift that after finishing four consecutive championships without Durant, he also understood why Jordan made the decision to retire in the first place.

Family is one thing, but no challenge really is another.

When the championship that many people pursue can already be obtained, then winning the championship becomes less interesting.

Even the last point, he could feel it in the chat with Tatum on the night of winning the championship. The Nets have always won the championship like this, which is not a good thing for the entire league. This will dampen the investment confidence of many team owners.

Therefore, considering so many factors, it also happened that there was such an opportunity that he made such a decision.

"Dear, you are not a single individual. You are the nb card now, and you still have a contract with your sponsor. You need to consider a lot when you make a decision."

Swift gave some rational advice at this time.

"I've also thought about those. Those are not problems. I won't cancel my cooperation with them just because I retire."

Lin Ying has also thought about these issues. As for whether the NBA will retire because of his retirement, it is not up to him to decide.

He has been selfish in front of his family for so long, and this time, for the sake of his family and himself, he will be selfish again.

"No matter what you decide, I will support you."

Seeing that Lin Ying had made a decision, Swift didn't say anything. After speaking, he leaned into Lin Ying's arms and hugged him tightly.

At least she was in a very happy mood at the moment. Lin Ying, who became the boss, could spend more time with her, Xiao Lin Yi, and the two unborn children in her womb.

It's easy to make a decision, but it's not that easy to make a good decision.

The next day Lin Ying made a video call with Prokhorov alone, and told the other party about the possible risks.

Because if he announces his retirement, the Nets' market value will definitely drop.

Lin Ying was even mentally prepared that Prokhorov might refuse, because the economic losses in this might be great.

"Do what you want. My attitude hasn't changed. You brought this team to where it is today."

Prokhorov's attitude remained the same as before.

On the one hand, he is deeply troubled by the domestic environment, and he just wants to get out as soon as possible.

On the other hand, if Lin Yingzhen wants to retire, he can't stop him. The decline in market value is beyond his control, and under this premise, Lin Ying can reduce the decline as much as possible when he is the owner of the Nets.

In the end, he spent more than 200 million when he bought the Nets. It was just a matter of earning more and earning less. He has always loved the Nets. Like CSKA Moscow, the Nets are also his children. In the same way, giving it to Lin Ying is the best result.

After calling Prokhorov, Lin Ying flew to Los Angeles and had an exchange with Kobe there.

The content of the exchange was naturally to convince Kobe to join himself in the plan to acquire the Nets.

The Nets have a market value of 4 billion. Unless Lin Ying finds Boss Cai to cooperate and buy together, it is impossible to buy it alone.

So his current thinking is to buy 51 of the market value and become the major shareholder of the Nets.

Then there is the question of funding.

He is now the richest athlete in the NBA. Including the company managed by Su Feng, his personal assets are about 2.2 billion US dollars, which is on the same level as Jordan.

But unless he doesn't want them all, he won't be able to come up with that much cash.

So he had to find a partner, someone who knew the ball and had the ultimate love for basketball.

Kobe was that guy.

Kobe Bryant played for the Nets before and knew the Nets very well, so there was no need for Lin Ying to say anything.

"Are you serious?"

For Lin Ying's proposal, Kobe's expression was shocked at first.

His shock was not because Lin Yinghui invited him, but because Lin Yinghui chose to be the boss after winning four consecutive championships.

Because the NBA stipulates that you cannot be a boss and a player at the same time, which means that Lin Ying will retire.

"I came to Los Angeles the day after the championship parade, and I wouldn't joke like that even on April Fool's Day."

Lin Ying said seriously.

Now Kobe knew that Lin Ying was serious.

"I'll join."

Then he simply joined.

Who doesn't want to be a boss?

Especially the kind that work part-time to the top of the industry.

And Kobe didn't go in as a big boss to resist pressure, it was also very suitable for him now.

"Then let's get started!"

Lin Ying and Kobe punched each other.

Say it, do it.

After returning from Los Angeles, Lin Ying met with Tatum again.

Tatum was shocked by Lin Ying's decision, but he couldn't say anything, because it was completely Lin Ying's freedom.

And chatted with Lin Ying for a while, from the perspective of the sustainable development of nb, he also supported Lin Ying's decision.

After meeting with Tatum, Lin Ying announced his retirement on personal social media and his decision to form a consortium to acquire some shares of the Nets.

"Basketball has no challenge to me, but I still love him. I will show that love on a new stage, and I will become one of the shareholders of the Nets."

The news quickly hit the entire nb.

This is even bigger than Jordan's first retirement.

After all, Lin Ying made the decision just after officially surpassing Jordan!

Especially for the fans of the Nets, who have just witnessed the team's four consecutive championships and have not yet recovered from the excitement of the championship parade, they are about to face the situation of another sharp decline in the team's strength.

Moreover, Lin Ying's operation of being a boss after retiring is much more incredible than Jordan's back then!

Affected by this news, the Nets' market value also quickly declined.

However, what was different from what was expected is that it fell by 200 million, which was much less than expected.

It seems incredible, but understandable.

After all ~www.NovelMTL.com~ no one knows if Lin Ying is on a whim.

In case Lin Ying's net team's record is poor, Lin Ying makes a comeback a year later, it is completely possible!

Then, the Nets official also quickly announced the news that the team had sold 54 shares in its hands, of which Lin Ying bought 47 and Kobe bought 7.

As for the remaining 46, the Nets will continue to seek buyers.

And soon, this part of the assets was bought by Boss Cai.

The Nets changed hands much faster than expected, and the Nets entered the era of the "Big Three".

This result has many firsts, nb has a Chinese boss, and two at a time

At the same time, nb also has a Chinese boss for the first time.

And not long after the Nets changed hands, Anta officially started sponsoring the Barclays Center, which will also be renamed "Anta Center" in the new season, which made Chinese fans who were originally frustrated by Lin Ying's retirement feel a while. Inexplicable excitement and pride.

one year later.

The epidemic broke out all over the world, and the NBA almost stopped, but the stumbling was still in the playoff competition in the park.

That is, this season, the Hornets led by Durant finally reached the finals, and their opponent was the Lakers led by James.

The two teams will compete for the 2020 NBA championship trophy.

Lin Ying appeared at the game.

"Ying, if I win this championship, I will go back to the Nets next year."

Before the opening game, Durant found Lin Ying and said.

Lin Ying couldn't help laughing when he saw Durant. The old general who raised the flag remained the same.

"beep!"

After the warm-up, the whistle sounded, Lin Ying returned to the few auditoriums, and the curtain of the 2020 finals officially kicked off!

The whole book is finished.
