Chapter 216 Where are the magical creatures(2/3)
"Then... try it?"
Lin Ying raised his head and said.
Then, he extended his hand.
Brooke was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook hands with Lin Ying.
She has never experienced this kind of love that seems to have reached some kind of agreement.
And from Lin Ying's reaction, she could definitely feel that the NBA star opposite her had really never been in a relationship.
"After coffee, will you accompany me to practice ball handling?"
After shaking hands, Lin Ying couldn't help but ask.
Brooke almost spit out her coffee when she took a sip.
"So...fast?"
Brooke swallowed her coffee and wiped her lips with her hand.
One second she was lamenting Lin Ying's innocence, and the next second she wanted to get straight to the point.
"Soon? Aren't we trying?"
Lin Ying was a little confused.
Brooke said no more, but looked at Lin Ying with a smile.
Ever since, after drinking coffee, Lin Ying arrived with Brooke...
Training hall.
Watching Lin Ying practicing ball control and then circling the ball around the pile, Brook was stunned for a while.
By the time she was sure that the ball control Lin Ying was talking about was indeed the ball control in front of her, and he was looking at her excitedly, she had already reached out to slap her forehead.
She seemed to have met a magical creature.
…
Shortly after the game between the Suns and Lakers, the NBA announced the final results of the All-Star voting.
Yao Ming was successfully elected as the vote king of the 2010 All-Star Game with 2.8 million votes!
This is also the first time since 2006 that he has been elected as the All-Star vote winner!
The "seal" imposed by Stern was loosened again.
According to domestic media, due to the call from "Basketball Pioneer" and a certain media person, the number of domestic fans who voted this time reached the highest level in history.
The voting ports in China have been down many times.
James and Kobe ranked second and third with 2.65 and 2.55 million votes respectively.
Lin Ying also received 2.2 million votes in the end, ranking 5th among all players!
It is no exaggeration to say that the NBA has once again felt the horror of being dominated by Chinese fans.
And this result was actually completely unexpected by Stern, because he himself was embarrassed because of the low voting ratio.
But, it really can’t handle the crowd!
So, this is the first time in NBA history that two Chinese players have become All-Stars!
The Suns copied the miracle of the Nuggets that year, with three people selected to the All-Stars, becoming the biggest winners of this All-Star Game.
Attached is the final voting list:
East: Iverson, Wade, James, Garnett, Howard
Eastern Conference head coach: Jeff Van Gundy (the All-Star coach cannot be coached for two consecutive years, the first-ranked Cavaliers Mike Brown already coached last year)
West: Nash, Kobe Bryant, Lin Ying, Stoudemire, Yao Ming
Western Conference head coach: George Karl (same as above)
There is something that needs to be mentioned here.
After Chinese fans started to show their strength, Stoudemire surpassed Anthony in the second round of voting.
When the final voting results came out, Stoudemire had more than 400,000 votes more than Anthony, and in the end he narrowly defeated Durant and Nowitzki.
"Lin, I love you!"
The day after the voting results came out, Stoudemire couldn't help but "show love" to Lin Ying in the locker room.
He knew that Lin Ying helped him canvass votes, and it was even clear from the final voting results that Chinese fans played a role in it.
So it is easy to draw the conclusion that he was selected this time only because of Lin Ying.
This scene immediately caused Nash and Barbossa to cough.
The world is declining*2.
But this is Stoudemire's character, he is very straightforward.
Hearing the cough, he also realized that something was wrong with him, but he still couldn't hide his smile and reached out to pat Lin Ying's shoulder hard.
This is about progressing from friends to brothers!
Just after the All-Stars are announced, the league will determine the list of substitute All-Stars and individual games in the following week.
Among them, Gerald Green was invited to participate in this year's dunk contest.
Because of the Suns' rest strategy, young players got more opportunities, and Green also got some playing time and performed well.
In fact, defense aside, I have the offensive ability to play in the NBA.
Moreover, he was the 2007 Slam Dunk Contest champion. The attention of the Slam Dunk Contest has declined in recent years, and I wanted him to increase the popularity.
Because one thing to watch in this year's dunk contest is whether Nate Robinson can win three consecutive dunk contests.
If he can do it, he will surpass Jordan and Jason Richardson and become the first in history to achieve this achievement.
Adding a former Slam Dunk Contest champion to such an event will instantly increase the attention.
There is still half a month until the All-Star Game starts.
Because after the All-Star Game is the trade deadline, some exchange rumors have begun to surface.
What attracted the most attention was the official opening of the "Wizards Supermarket", with Jamison and Caron Butler becoming the most talked about big names in the trading market.
Secondly, Camby was put on the shelf by the Clippers again. These used teams finally realized that this guy is really a black hole.
…
On this day, Duffy found Lin Ying and said that a car endorsement company wanted to find him as an endorsement.
Moreover, this car brand has a close relationship with him.
"Lincoln?"
Lin Ying was surprised.
Because the status of Lincoln cars in the United States is basically the same as that of Hongqi in China. They are both used for large-scale national occasions.
You see, this is the car used in the military parade at the White House.
Are you now looking for a Chinese person to be your spokesperson?
It's a little weird.
But speaking of it, this was the car he gave to Rick Barnes when he graduated.
It wasn't for anything else but because this car was very fashionable in the United States.
And the reason Duffy told him later made him a little dumbfounded.
Lincoln's English name is LIN, which sounds very similar to his current Anta independent brand LInK.
Duffy also further analyzed with him why Lincoln chose him.
In fact, it is mainly aimed at the Chinese market.
Speaking of which, Lincoln entered the Chinese market in the 1980s and was as popular as Santana for a while. However, because the model was old and not cost-effective, it now basically has no market share.
Using an influential star like Lin Ying as a spokesperson is naturally an attempt to use his fame to bring back the dead.
"This won't work."
Lin Ying instinctively refused.
Because accepting this endorsement is tantamount to changing the direction and cheating the domestic fans.
"Wait a minute, it doesn't seem impossible, but it can only be one of their first-class cars."
Lin Ying suddenly remembered something.
"What car?"
Daffy was full of curiosity.
“Courtesy car.”
