legendary point guard

Chapter 319 The first battle of the finals is over

Thanks to the big row and the coordinator for the big rewards!

----

Entering the finals, although it has become a reality, most fans of the Orlando Magic still can't believe it, because all this used to be just an existence and fantasy for them, but happiness came so suddenly.

The city of Orlando went crazy because of this. The mayor of Orlando even designated June 6, when the Orlando Magic defeated the Cavaliers and entered the finals, as Magic Day.

Because the promotion of the Magic was unexpected by everyone, and now the promotion of the Magic is like a miracle. He hopes that this day will be remembered by the people of Orlando forever, and he hopes that the people of Orlando will always know the miracle and never give up.

The promotion of the Magic has brought too many benefits to Orlando. As the core of the team, Lin Sen's value has skyrocketed again because he led the team to the finals under the underdog.

After all, leading the team to the Finals with a rookie as the leader of the team is very rare in the entire history of the NBA. In this era of information explosion, it is naturally greatly publicized.

Coupled with David Falk's intentional creation and the NBA League's god-making plan, Lin Sen has become a superstar, even comparable to countless historical legends.

Especially David Stern. Originally, he hoped that LeBron James and Linson would be inseparable in each of the seven best games, but the result did not go as he wished. The flaws in the Cavaliers lineup directly made the Magic almost Obtained a one-sided advantage, and finally David Stern simply changed the publicity plan.

Propagating LeBron James as a tragic hero who will never give up even if he loses, and shaping Lin Sen into a new legend, both of them are undoubtedly the best in David Stern's new god-making movement.

David Stern was very satisfied with Lin Sen's skin color and off-court, and the attention of Lin Sen in China on the other side of the ocean was even higher.

Linsen’s commercial value has grown exponentially. At this time, Adidas announced that it will establish the Linsen brand within two years. The Linsen sports brand will be a subsidiary of Adidas. It is not ruled out that it will gradually become self-financing. autonomous subsidiary.

The release of this news undoubtedly pushed Lin Sen in front of Michael Jordan again. Everyone knows how hot the Jordan brand under Nike is, and it was Michael Jordan, a rookie who just led the team to the finals, that brought all this. To be able to obtain this qualification is whimsical to most people.

Many experts even publicly criticized Adidas' high-level executives for being crazy about money and money, and His Royal Highness, who was compared, said to reporters: "Of course I can't interfere with their decisions, but I know that the journey along the way is difficult. It's not easy, it's not just a skin color, it's not just a final that can let it all go with the flow.

I hope they will succeed because any field needs competition and without competition there is no progress. "

Just when many people envied, envied, hated and criticized, Adidas released the direct income report that Lin Sen brought to Adidas.

从林森的传奇一代在2月15曰下午两点正式发布到现在不过3个半月的时间,当初发布33个小时预订和销售量就突破了1000万,到现在传奇一代依旧是全世界卖的最火的一款篮球鞋。

According to the report released by Adidas, the global sales volume of Lin Sen’s legendary generation reached a terrifying 3500 million in the past three and a half months, of which the women’s customized version reached 1500 million.

The sales volume of the All-Star Edition of the Legendary Generation also reached 700 million, and the sales volume of the Legendary 1000 generation released in the playoffs also reached 200 million in less than a month and a half. The playoff version of the finals has increased by [-] million in these two days.

光林森代言的球鞋就在短短三个半月的时间内为阿迪达斯带来了5200万,随着林森带领魔术闯进总决赛阿迪达斯负责人有信心在新赛季来临前销量达到6500万,而这样一个销量仅仅比2005-2006年度销量最好的乔丹21差了700万。

Although the good economic situation this year has directly led to the increase in people's consumption, Adidas is confident that the total sales of Linsen's signature shoes will rank among the top three in the annual sales.

Coupled with the launch of the legendary second generation next season, Adidas believes that the entire 2007 Linsenguang sneakers can bring Adidas nearly 1 million US dollars in sales. Such a figure will undoubtedly make Adidas executives extremely excited.

Of course, one of the big reasons is that Adidas launched women's models, and Nike and Jordan also followed Lin Sen's lead and launched corresponding women's models, but the actual sales were so pitiful that they could not be compared with Lin Sen.

In addition to sneakers, Linsen's customized sports suits and long and short t-sleeves have brought Adidas considerable sales, even far exceeding expectations, and Linsen's signature armguards have sold a terrifying 400 copies worldwide. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

In addition to these intuitive sales data, the brand value Lin Sen brought to Adidas is even more immeasurable. The release of this report directly stimulated the crazy rise of his Adidas stock.

At the same time, Adidas also reached an agreement with David Falk to pay 6000 million US dollars for the upcoming Linsen Sports Company to acquire the 2kgames subsidiary of take-twointeractive.

The 6000 million will be used as the Adidas brand sponsorship fee for all games launched by 3kgmes in the next three years. Although 2kgmes’ games design rugby, ice hockey, baseball, basketball and boxing, etc., the sales have not been good. Adidas spent so much money It is also an additional condition for Lin Sen to agree to renew his contract with Adidas.

Although the price was high, Adidas gritted its teeth and agreed in order to keep Lin Sen as a cash cow, and it turned out that Adidas' investment was worthwhile.

In addition to the 6000 million paid by Adidas, Lin Sen will personally contribute 3000 million, and Carolina, Natalie Portman, and Adriana Lima will also contribute 1000 million each. Just borrowing is not investing, Lin Sen naturally knew what they wanted.

And David Falk also took out 500 million, and Ruth Edison also took out 200 million and invested 300 million shares with technology.

Several people pooled together 1.4 million US dollars, and David Falk also led a negotiating team of up to 8 people to start negotiations with take-two.

由于大卫.法尔克提前探知了2k推出的几款最新款2k游戏销售全部没有达到预期净收益不到100万美元的机密消息之后,大卫.法尔克谈判掌握了主动,最终在6月3曰,也就是圣安东尼奥马刺第6场击败犹他爵士进军总决赛的那一天和take-two达成了1.35亿美元的全部收购协议。

This acquisition not only acquired the game copyright but also acquired the original technical personnel, and merged with Ruth Edison's company in the first place to establish a new 2k company.

When David Falk announced this news to the public, many people were shocked for a while, because everyone knew that the sports game market was dominated by EA, and as for 2K, it was one Pacific behind EA.

Using 1.35 million to acquire such a company that has developed for almost 7 years without much progress naturally made Lin Sen the laughing stock of the United States.

"Man, you know he has a lot of money, so this decision may be made because he has too much money to spend. I think take-two will be very grateful for their generosity." A well-known Wall Street economist Say so.

On the day when the two parties announced the success of the acquisition, the shares of Take-Two, which sold 2k, not only stopped the continuous week of decline, but even rose by as much as $3. Lin Sen's behavior was even dubbed "take-two" by many people. -two saviors.

However, the person involved, Lin Sen, didn't care. David Falk was busy with all these matters, and he still devoted himself to training. He didn't have much confidence in facing an opponent team like the San Antonio Spurs. Say no confidence, because this year's Spurs are too strong.

In the regular season, Linson played a game on behalf of the Timberwolves and the Spurs before joining the Magic. In this game, countless topics were generated, not only the off-court collision between Adriana Lima and Eva, but also Linsen and Amanda Seymour. Fried had an affair in the locker room during the halftime break, and Linsen broke out in the second half after the affair broke out and shook Bruce Bowen's ankle, as well as a buzzer stop at the final moment and a jump shot to lead the Timberwolves without Garnett to defeat the Spurs .

After joining the Magic, Lin Sen played against the Spurs on behalf of the Magic in mid-March. As a result, the Magic lost to the Spurs by 3 points at home in this game, and was almost out of temper.

The first game of the finals will start on June 6. Although the Spurs only ranked third in the Western Conference during the regular season, they have achieved a record of 7 wins and 58 losses. This record is 24 more wins than the second-ranked Magic in the East. Therefore, the schedule of the finals will be that the Spurs will play 3 home games first, then the Magic will play 2 home games, and finally the Spurs will play 3 home games. Of course, the premise of all this is that the two sides can play 2 games.

No one believed that the Magic and the Spurs played a full seven games. Although the Magic was not favored before entering the playoffs, and they beat those experts in the face with their performance to enter the finals, but the previous opponents were obviously unable to compare with the mighty Spurs, so in The best prediction before the start of the Finals was that the Magic lost 2:4 to the Spurs.

The handicap offered by Las Vegas is that the odds for the Magic to win the championship are scary, and all the media are also optimistic that the Spurs will win the championship again after 99, 03, and 05. Even the Orlando local media do not think that the Magic can win the championship. Miracle again.

On June 6th, Orlando arrived in the small town of San Antonio two days ahead of schedule. In this small Texas town, the Magic spent two days either in a hotel or in an arena.

"They are a young team with unlimited potential, especially Wood Lynn. He is the kind of player that most coaches dream of. From the moment he entered the league, I have paid attention to him. His growth The speed is beyond my imagination.

He beat us before, I know how powerful he is, he is one of the strongest players in the league at this position, and he is just a rookie, God knows where his limit is, we want to defend the home court and win To win he must be contained. "Spurs coach Gregg Popovich told reporters after the team's last practice.

Everyone knows how terrifying Popovich's mouth is. Players in the opposing team who he praised before the game often perform poorly in the game, and Popovich's praise also made many fans jokingly say that they can finally watch Until Wood Lin played badly in the game.

And Bruce Bowen, a defensive expert who was once sprained by Lin Sen, also vowed before the game that he would use his performance to tell everyone that he is still him.

Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy said seriously in an interview with reporters: "We are just learners, we don't think too much about the O'Brien Cup, we are here to learn, and people all over the world know How powerful the spurs of gdp are."

As the leading rookie of the Magic, Lin Sen did not express any opinions but waited for the start of the game wholeheartedly.

On June 6th, the finals of the 7-2006 season will start in San Antonio on this day. In the past, the games between the San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons gave David Stern a headache, because the two teams played both Standard ratings killer.

This year's finals also caused David Stern a lot of headaches, but for this reason he and TNT, which has the right to broadcast the finals live, carried out crazy publicity. The focus of the publicity was undoubtedly around Magic and Lin Sen.

Before the game, David Stern was quite satisfied with the survey that you would like to watch this year's finals. Of course, all of this is just an advance survey. David Stern, who is sitting in the NBA office in New York, is waiting for the start of the finals .

The Spurs home court is already full of seats. Spurs fans are one of the most die-hard fans in the league. Perhaps they are the only ones who understand the charm of Spurs basketball. A small number of Magic fans and Chinese groups also came to the scene, but they were all submerged in the world of Spurs fans. .

Carolina and Natalie Portman came to the scene with the team, and the most eye-catching person on the sidelines of the Spurs was undoubtedly Tony Parker's woman Eva.

"Wow, I finally got the chance to talk about Wood's game, Kenny, do you know how painful it is to sit in front of the TV and watch the game? I've had enough. I can't wait for the start of the finals. I believe that Orlando can play so smoothly." Charles Barkley appeared in front of the audience shaking his head.

"Is it your credit? You are the most shameless guy I have ever seen, no one, Jeff, don't you think so?" Kenny Smith turned his head and asked.

Sitting on the left of Kenny Smith is Jeff Van Gundy who was recently fired by the Houston Rockets. Fok Chen-ting is actively inviting Phil Jackson to coach the Hong Kong team recently. If Phil Jackson refuses, then Fok Chen-ting will target Jeff Van Gundy. Van Gundy.

"Kenny, do I need to talk about it? Say he's a waste of time, maybe we can talk about the upcoming game." Jeff Van Gundy said with a smile.

"Charles, self-proclaimed hardcore Lin Mi, can you talk about your thoughts?" Kenny Smith pushed the dissatisfied Barkley.

"Well, as much as I really hope that the Magic can win the game, I know it's not realistic. I remember that this season, you and I witnessed Wood's second-half explosion and the final lore of the Spurs game, but the probability of such a game is too high. He is small, and the finals are not a regular season, Greg is a very cunning guy, Wood will face a lot of trouble, not to mention Dwight and Darko who are still immature inside."

"You mean you don't like Orlando either, Jeff, what do you think?"

"Kenny, I have the same opinion as Charles. If there is no accident, it is unrealistic for Orlando to want to win the championship." Jeff Van Gundy said.

At this time, the starting players of both sides also played. Chris Webber, as a top power forward who was once as famous as Duncan, partnered with Howard inside, while Turkoglu, Azubuike and Lin Sen were the other three starters.

The Spurs have Oberto and Duncan on the inside, the small forward is Bruce Bowen, the defensive expert, and the back line is left to Mike Finley and Tony Parker. at the table.

"A good game is about to begin!"

In the voice of Kenny Smith, the game kicked off, and Howard still won the jump ball steadily, but this also became the only scene where Howard beat Duncan in the game.

Tony. Parker defended Linsen, but this is not the focus of Popovich's defense. Popovich puts the focus of defense on containing others.

Howard was taken care of by Duncan and completely became the background. Not only was his offense weak, but he also couldn't defend. He was fouled twice by Duncan after only 4 minutes in the first quarter.

And Chris Webber has long since lost his skill in the past, leaving more mid-range shots, but under the care of Oberto, he also feels very poor. Milicic's offensive end was also restrained by Duncan.

Turkoglu on the front line was only passed by Bruce Bowen, and the rookie Azubuike was not as outstanding as he was in the regular season.

Even Lin Sen made 6 shots in the first quarter and scored 16 points in a single quarter, but it didn't help the Magic to chase the point difference to single digits.

At the end of the first half, the Magic relied on Lin Sen to score 28 points in the half and fell behind the Spurs by 18 points. In the second half, Hill and former Spurs player Devin Brown's consecutive goals once helped the Magic see some hope, but it was only a flash in the pan. , The Magic without the inside restraint force can't hurt the Spurs' neck bones at all.

"I think what Wood wants most at the moment must be his old teammate Eddie instead of Dwight who looks like a schoolboy in front of Tim!" Kenny Smith looked at the early four fouls and only scored 6 points and 6 rebounds Howard, who had 2 blocks and was sitting off the court, said.

When the game came to the 6th minute of the fourth quarter, Lin Sen, who had just played for 2 minutes, was replaced by Stan Van Gundy, and it was announced that the Magic had completely given up the game.

"Wood is experiencing LeBron's loneliness!" Jeff Van Gundy said looking at Lin Sen who turned his head and looked at the big screen with unwilling eyes.
