NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"We have to win first! If we can win, it doesn't matter whether I can break Chamberlain's record or not. If we lose, then these records are even less important! I have never been a person who plays for statistics!"

Lin Tian smiled and said: "If I cared about the statistics, I would have scored 100 points in a single game a long time ago! What I care least about is the statistics. I never look at the technical statistics!"

“I even have to say that if Tang hadn’t kept reminding me, I wouldn’t have noticed that I was close to 100 points!”

"Are you serious, Lin? You really didn't realize that you were almost getting 100 points? You really don't care about it?"

"Of course it's fake." Lin Tian shook his head and said, "I felt like I could give it a try when the third quarter ended! Of course, victory is more important! I was in good shape, and the Bobcats weren't far behind. That's when I knew it was time to break the record!"

"I have to give a thumbs up to the Bobcats. It was their tenacity that gave me the opportunity! If they were beaten early, I would have scored at most 70 points tonight and then gone to rest. There would have been no part after that!"

"I am impressed by many of their players! Felton, Okafor, Carroll and so on. This team has actually taken shape. What they need next is the accumulation of experience and the filling of confidence!"

"I believe they will be on the right track soon! I think they will be in the playoffs in 3 years!"

"We heard that you recommended Aldridge, the talented rookie selected by the Bobcats this year, to Jordan, but his performance after joining the Bobcats was quite bad and mediocre. He may become the biggest fake among the rookies in recent years! What do you think of his situation? Are you deliberately teasing Jordan?"

"Of course not! I would never tease Michael with a young player's career! Young people are innocent!"

"It's just that when I recommended it, I didn't know Michael would hire Larry Brown as the head coach! Larry is certainly a good coach, but everyone knows that he is not good at coaching newcomers."

"Larry, who is not good at coaching rookies, obviously has a hard time helping young people grow."

"If I had known Michael would choose Larry as the head coach, I would have recommended another player to him."

"Wang Goudan!"

"Who is he? Is he a newcomer with extraordinary talent and outstanding combat ability?"

"Is he a superstar in your CBA league?"

"What position does he play? Can you tell us about his skills?"

Good news: Reporters can tell it’s a Chinese name.

Bad news: They don't understand what Goudan means.

So the reporters couldn't wait to ask questions, they thought Lin Tian was seriously recommending players to the league!
Unfortunately, Lin Tian shrugged and said, "Goudan is the neighbor of my next-door neighbor's brother's uncle's sister's wife's third aunt. He can't play basketball at all. He even suffered from some sequelae because he didn't receive timely treatment after having a fever when he was young. He is commonly known as mentally retarded."

"The reason why I recommend him is that he will definitely not waste his life because of meeting Larry, he will not be at a loss as to what to do because of being chosen by Larry, and his youth will not be completely wasted because of this."

Lin Tian's words were quite impolite!

This is actually not in line with Lin Tian's usual style. Although he is a bit foul-mouthed, he rarely criticizes someone by name.

The reason why this happened this time is very simple.

Well... of course it’s not revenge for Aldridge, Lin Tian is not that familiar with him.

The main purpose is to find a place for yourself!
This Aldridge was recommended by my master Lin, how come you don’t use him?

If you don't use him, you're not giving me face!
If you don't give me face, I'll scold you, you old bastard!
You didn't use the guy I recommended to you properly, and you kept him at the end of the bench for a whole month, and DNPed him in half of the games!
To be honest, if Brown was still leading the Pistons, and the team had a top record and was sprinting for the championship, then it would be fine for you to do this!
But what team are you leading now and what are the results?
For a team at the bottom of the league, instead of putting the most talented and highest ceiling guy in the starting lineup and letting him play for 30 minutes a game to gain experience, improve his abilities, and learn various details, you put him at the end of the bench to waste time.

Not to mention that Aldridge was suggested by Lin Tian, ​​even if they were just a chance encounter and had no relationship at all, Lin Tian would still have to speak up and make his position clear.

What's more, this is a rookie recommended by Lin Tian. What's the difference between you DNPing him and DNPing me? You, Brown, bullied him and prevented him from showing his talent. Isn't that targeting me?

I can't stand it! I have to spray him!

So... as Lin Tian could no longer bear it, the hot topics tonight became two.

A super headline news that is certainly well deserved: Lin Tian scored 102 points and led the team to win the game.

As for the other one, Lin Tian angrily scolded Brown and did not give the old man any face at all, which made Brown quite embarrassed.

But unfortunately, Brown couldn't do anything to Lin Tian.

Anyway, the two teams will have to play against each other again, so let’s decide who will be the winner when the time comes!

Although there is a high probability that the Bobcats will be the one that gets beaten, and although there is a high probability that the Bobcats will still not be able to beat the league's top team, the Knicks, and even the next time the Bobcats meet Lin Tian, ​​the best result might be that Lin Tian doesn't produce any explosive data again.

Another personal performance worth a hundred or so points?
The whole Charlotte will have nightmares when seeing Lin Tian from now on.

But no one actually pays attention to what the Bobcats and Charlotte players think. What everyone can notice is that Lin Tian once again broke a super record that is known as the most unbreakable record in NBA history.

100 points in a single game!
Even in a high school game, 100 points in a single game is an incredible and crazy statistic.

Or let’s put it this way, among the players who are currently serving as substitutes for Wade on the Cavaliers, there is a sickly guy named Dajuan Wagner. Because of injuries, this guy has not played seriously since entering the NBA.

Even in the year before he entered the NBA in Memphis, he failed to lead the team into March Madness.

This guy was a pure brush in college. In his freshman year, he broke the team's various shot records, scoring records and various inefficiency records.

Simply put, lone wolf + big brush.

But such a guy who can only attack but not defend or organize was selected with the sixth pick in 2002.

you ask why?
Because he scored 100 points in a game when he was in high school.

Just this one game made him famous throughout the United States and became the new generation of war god in the hearts of American fans.

Just this one game made countless fans know him, gave him various nicknames, and compared him with Iverson, Marbury, Lin Tian and others who had become top NBA stars at the time.

This achievement of 100 points in a single game made him selected into the NBA as the sixth pick!

Even now, when Wagner is suffering from serious injuries and can hardly play, there are still many fans calling Wagner 'Mr100'!
Wagner's Wikipedia can further illustrate how exaggerated this 100-point game is.

"I scored 100 points in a game against Grochester College in my senior year."

This is pretty much all there is to say about him on his Wikipedia page.

Other parts of his entry are: He is the son of Milt Wagner, who played at Louisville (1981-1986), won the 1986 national championship, and later became a member of the Lakers team that won the 1988 NBA championship.

Well...the rest of the article is about his father, a former Lakers player.

The power of a 100-point game is so terrifying!
And this was just a high school game.

Even though the game took place in New York, which brought extra attention to the game, it was not so exaggerated.

I can only say that 100 points on the basketball court really means a lot, and the effects are really beyond your imagination!

For example, AND 1, the three extremely cunning bosses designed various patterns and designs almost overnight and printed them on their T-shirts for sale.

Their factory began to operate at a frantic pace. In less than three days, all kinds of new T-shirts were hung in the most conspicuous places of major AND 3 stores.

'Mr102!'

"102 points of spirit!"

"The 102 Godheads of God!"

"God created me on the 102nd day of His creation!"

……

As for the result? Of course, even if AND1's factory worked overtime to print new T-shirts, the supply still couldn't meet the huge demand from fans across the United States!
And this is just the continental United States.

Fans in Asia, Europe, South America and other regions can only watch as North American fans rush to buy clothes.

This thing hasn't even started being sold in the area where they are.

This is not a problem of insufficient production capacity, but mainly a problem of authorization and process, which prevents them from following up quickly in the first place, and they can only wait helplessly and anxiously.

But the crazy wave caused by Lin Tian's 102 points was obviously just the beginning.

Because Pelinka’s phone was called again!

Those partners who have already reached an agreement with Lin Tian and are currently cooperating have all said that they will pay more! Now they need another advertisement from Lin Tian!
Those partners who had not reached an agreement with Lin Tian also said that they would pay more! Now we need Lin very much!

In addition, Nike also made several personnel changes quietly.

The director who failed to win over Lin Tian that year was fired because he stepped into the office door with his left foot first. Although he will definitely receive a huge amount of compensation, no one can be sure whether this personnel change has anything to do with Lin Tian, ​​but at least everyone thinks: there must be a connection!

This is jealousy, this is anger!
Everyone knows: If Lin can join Nike, who knows how much more profit Nike, which is already a behemoth company, can make.

But unfortunately, now they can only watch AND 1's rapid rise. Although AND 1's brand positioning is too street-oriented and their products do not cover major sports, AND1 cannot surpass Nike in total market value.

In other words, AND1's model will never allow it to surpass Nike in terms of market value, influence, etc. The football alone has set the upper limit for AND1.

But in AND1's small territory, no one can get involved!
Who comes and who dies!

In recent years, whether it is Nike, Adidas, Reebok or Converse.

They all wanted to try to enter AND1's exclusive track to give it a try and challenge themselves, but without exception, they all failed miserably!

On this exclusive track, AND 1 is God!
Moreover, not only is there no brand that can compete with AND1 in the 'street' track, but over the years, relying on Lin Tian's enthusiasm and madness, AND1 has made rapid progress in the entire 'basketball' track.

Whether it is the number of signed stars, sales of sneakers or total revenue, they have left brands such as Adidas, Reebok and Converse far behind.

The current basketball market is dominated by two strong brands, Nike and AND1!
But Nike's dilemma now is that AND1's area of ​​expertise is a solid block, and no matter how hard they try, they still can't get in at all.

But on the other hand, AND1 has already begun to encroach on NIKE's territory!

Or to put it more bluntly: If there were no Jordan and AJ, Nike would have been pinned to the ground and kicked in the face by AND 1 long ago!

In today's sneaker industry, Lin Tian, ​​together with AND1 and a number of their contracted stars, has launched a frantic siege against Nike.

Nike is still number one, but it is already shaky and they may be surpassed by AND1 at any time.

In other words, it is inevitable that they will be surpassed by AND1. Nike is now supported by Jordan's old fans, but when Jordan's fans grow old and their purchasing power declines, Lin Tian's fans will grow again and reach their peak, Nike will be counterattacked by AND1.

Unless Nike can find another top superstar to compete with Lin Tian, ​​otherwise, they will inevitably start to go downhill in the sport of basketball.

When Nike has been forced to this point by AND1, let alone other brands like Adidas and Reebok, they will only be in an even worse situation.

Smart people have begun to shift their strategies and are starting to focus more of their attention and resources on football, tennis, golf, sprinting or other tracks.

basketball?

Just keep a hope and ensure a certain level of profit and influence.

Compete with Lin Tian?

Check out Converse from the 90s!

Converse was still at its peak in the 90s. It was a giant and wanted to compete with Nike without Jordan.

The result is that not only did the entire brand fall directly from its peak and plummet, being beaten without any chance of fighting back, but now even the brand and the leaping star players have been bought together and turned into a sub-brand.

Challenging things beyond your capabilities may not necessarily result in a miracle, but it may very likely cause you to fall into the abyss and never recover!
Lin Tian's 102 points not only made the entire AND1 excited, making them eager to continue squeezing and seizing the market, but also made fans from all walks of life once again worship him as a god-like guy.

The influence and lasting effect of this game are really huge!

The most obvious example is that the number 102 has become the most common number on the streets of the United States, especially in areas where street graffiti is prevalent. In any city or street, as long as there is graffiti, you will definitely see some new things related to Lin Tian, ​​the streets, and 102 appearing on the wall.

In Asia, the game "Street Basketball" developed by Huanyu, a company that Lin Tian once invested in, ushered in a new huge wave of popularity, with more fans and players flocking to the game and participating.

As for their purpose?
Many people simply think that the new poster in the game waiting screen is very cool!

At the same time, this game, which has almost dominated the competitive sports games in Asia, also announced after this game that it will open European and American servers!

They also want to take advantage of this spring breeze to expand their influence to Europe and the United States!
That is the dream and highest pursuit of all game manufacturers!

After all, people in these two places are the richest and have the strongest spending power.

With Lin Tian’s influence, the insiders of “Street Basketball” believe that this game will be able to compete with EA’s NBA LIVE from another perspective!

As for what to do if European and American players don’t like the extremely cool and overly fancy game style of “Street Basketball”?
Lin Tian didn't care either.

Because he has another hand!

In the past two years, Lin Tian also purchased a large number of TAKE TWO stocks and made considerable investments. He also invested money to help the company set up a new subsidiary, or studio.

The famous 2k games!

This is the company that later developed the world's best pure sports competitive games such as basketball, baseball, tennis, and ice hockey.

Of course, in addition to its world-renowned sports games, this company also has first-class IPs such as Borderlands, Civilization, and BioShock, as well as highly playable games.

This company is very profitable.

This time, 2K company also took advantage of this craze and officially announced that they will release a new NBA themed game next summer.

Although the naming method is exactly the same as the 99k series they have been launching since 2, it is still called 2K8, but there are two huge differences between this game and previous ones.

The first thing is that they found Lin Tian as the cover character, which meant that this game was destined to gain huge attention.

Then, they adopted a brand-new game engine and algorithm, and their graphics, motion capture, and gameplay all saw a crazy improvement!

The actual operation footage released by 2k alone was enough to shock all the fans!

One sentence can describe the new 2K game graphics.

It’s exactly like watching a game.

It's so immersive, so cinematic!

As soon as this actual gameplay video came out, all the fans were immediately excited, and EA was destined to face its biggest threat and challenge in history.

Of course, Lin Tian knows better than anyone: EA can’t get past this level! In the future, 2K will dominate NBA games!
As for the fact that 2K has no intention to make progress, has no sincerity, copies itself, and releases the same stuff year after year to exploit fans, that is another matter and has nothing to do with Mr. Lin!
Lin Tian would definitely withdraw his funds before that and sell them at the highest point.

Mr. Lin, it’s all about making money!

Lin Tian's influence has once again reached its peak.

Whether it is the three-dimensional or two-dimensional world, his shadow can be seen everywhere.

Then, while all the fans were going crazy and Lin Tian's business territory continued to expand, the Knicks' remaining two games in December also started. (End of this chapter)
