My basketball vision is different

John Thornton's perception of Huaguo changed with his repeated trips and the lengthening of his stay.

A country of poverty and poverty?

Huaguo with long braids?

Under the lens of "beep beep hee", shouldn't it be full of people yearning for freedom?They lived a life worse than pigs and dogs under the oppression of cruel officials?Some people even use diaries to record these atrocities?

The Internet is a good thing, it seems that you can see everything on Blue Star, but who knows, what you see is not the same as what you want to see.

Some things happened, all as if they didn't happen;

Some things didn't happen, but they were fabricated like facts.

John Thornton felt that he was lucky to have a pair of eyes. Although he had not been to other places, but in the imperial capital, he felt that his cognition was completely broken.

In this metropolis with a population of more than [-] million, many things cannot be covered up, just like the Big Apple City, where heaven and hell coexist.

On the first night of "overtime" in the imperial capital, when returning to the hotel, John Thornton even prepared some small change in advance, which was a necessary skill he learned while traveling in the beautiful country when he was young.

Then...John Thornton found that the money he had prepared was not in vain, and all of it had been used.

The slightly dimly lit alleys are really scary, full of delicious food that makes you stagnate, the streets before the early morning, the smell of fireworks is overflowing, the short streets make John Thornton dig All the change in my pocket.

All the way to the hotel, the corners of his mouth were still stained with barbecue oil.

"Really fragrant!"

Then on the second night, John Thornton came again as promised, but those people seemed to be guerrilla fighters, they disappeared, and John Thornton found them in another "neighborhood". I found it by looking at it.

God, in less than a week, John Thornton felt that he was almost unable to restrain himself, and his weight was visible to the naked eye. Although he knew that it was not a good thing, he still couldn't control his mouth.

While eating, I shouted in my heart, "Next time I will...don't eat!"

It's... a terrible country.

There is no flood of wooden warehouses, nor is it full of drunkards. Instead, it has an intoxicating nightlife. Here, John Thornton has seen too many newcomers like him, Lao Bai.

There are good and bad comments, not everyone will say good, but it is temporarily impossible for this group of people to go back, maybe they will go back in the future, but at least for now, they have not enjoyed the convenience brought by Huaguo, everything It's all different than imagined.

Safety and food left a very good impression on John, and convenient public transportation is another.

But for this superpower with a large population, you can't feel the number of billions at all, only when you stop at the high-speed rail station and the airport.

Or just take the subway and bus during commuting, John Thornton finally knows what a populous country is.

He felt that everything he ate last night would be squeezed out by commuters in the subway. John Thornton couldn't stand the feeling of going in three-dimensional and coming out two-dimensional.

Fortunately, there is one thing, the air conditioning is very strong, and the London subway is completely incomparable, let alone the New York subway.

Especially the latter, John Thornton has never seen anything scarier and scarier than the New York subway. It is the largest city in the beautiful country, but it is a mess.

The sewage is overflowing and full of disgusting stench, homeless people and death cases appear from time to time. After John Thornton became rich, he never took the subway in New York once.

It was an unbearable past. Young John not only lost his wallet, but was also taught to be a man by the uniformed "patrol officers".

"Why did you appear at the place where old blacks gather?"

"Why do you carry so many valuable things?"

"You know it's going to be troublesome?"

As a foreigner, John Thornton hated the beautiful country, and he didn't have the slightest liking for New York.

Look at the airport and supporting facilities in the imperial capital. This is the image a country should have. I heard that another airport is about to start construction. John has seen the design. Although it looks like a sea star, it is really cool. .

Looking at everything in front of me at this time, there are so many fans surrounding the exit, why do you say there are so many fans?

This group is really too eye-catching. Although that group of people is scattered, they are all wearing a Pacers home and away jersey, all number 13. The appearance of their group has caused some onlookers to "assemble" , "There is no need to shout any slogans, just look at the situation.

Lin Shaojie is back.

Many people think that they have watched Lin Shaojie grow up step by step, and they have been paying attention to this basketball boy since the Olympics, and they are right.

Die-hard fans have come here step by step in this way, but after all, there are only a few of them. Most of them watch the game with their classmates and friends.

And besides the fans, there are also quite a few media friends.

For Lin Shaojie as a player, any piece of news about him overseas is enough to support many media, so for them, Lin Shaojie is their half-brother and their brother. rice bowl.

You can get huge traffic if you say nice words, and you can get huge traffic if you say irony, but you will be scolded miserably, so whoever hacks him indiscriminately is hacking himself.

Therefore, many media who learned of the news of Lin Shaojie's return to China also came.

Although John Thornton reminded Lin Shaojie on the phone, what Lin Shaojie felt the most was that it was crazy after the Olympics. Although he could see many Chinese fans in the beautiful country, most of them were very restrained, and some of them were stars themselves.

It's that "your idol is my fan."

As for the local area, Lin Shaojie is not a singer or film star, after all, he is a player who sells his physical strength to play basketball. He expected to kill dozens of people. When he walked out with his family, he looked at the exit from a distance. The Pacers uniforms on both sides are uniform, with a unified number 13.

Looking at the passengers who took the plane together, a group of people greeted each other and quickly dispersed.

Just over half an hour after Lin Shaojie got off the plane and walked out of the aisle with his luggage, more and more people stopped at the door.

"Director Lin, here, look here!"

"Director Lin, welcome back to China!"

......

If he had known this, Lin Shaojie would have taken the special passage, but there were still many people over there. Right now, Lin Shaojie's appearance was like a drop of water dripping into a frying pan. There was a "crackling" sound, and the noisy crowd instantly became restless. When he got up, Lin Shaojie quickly lowered his head and said to Su Zhen.

"You go out with your parents first, I'll come over later!"

"be careful!"

When Su Zhen saw this situation, he knew that it was not easy for Lin Shaojie to escape.

The response from the airport is also timely. Although there have been scenes of celebrities cheering for support before, most of them are a bit of a sign. It is really rare for people who don't know where to get the news to come here spontaneously.

I didn't pay much attention before, they all came here, one by one began to take off their clothes, revealing the No. 13 jersey, who would have expected this!

The appearance of the security made Lin Shaojie feel at ease. His parents took Su Zhen and Su's mother out first, and John, an old white face, was still very obvious to receive people.

They could only watch from a distance, watching the temporary arrangements made by the airport to allow Lin Shaojie to escape smoothly.

Lin Shaojie felt relieved when he saw his family walk out of the "encirclement circle" safely. What he was most worried about was a stampede in the crowded crowd.

"This is the airport, I hope fans and friends will not affect the entry and exit of others."

After taking the microphone from the staff, Lin Shaojie quickly comforted him.

"Thank you to the many fans who came to pick up the plane, but we have too many people. Although I don't know how everyone got the news, but safety first, safety first."

Lin Shaojie made a gesture of pressing down, guiding the excited crowd to slowly move from the direction of the exit to make room.

The fans who wanted to block the crowd in other places in the distance also received the news and rushed over.

Some emotional fans shouted at the top of their voices.

"Director Lin, this is the first time you have returned to China, please have a good chat with us, this is the first time we have seen Director Lin alive."

Everyone wanted to laugh, and passers-by who didn't feel it just thought that the fans were a little too crazy, but when they thought of Lin Shaojie in the crowd, the heartbeat of the passing travelers also felt a little faster, and they wanted to take a closer look.

In fact, I heard this name almost every day, and this was the first time I saw a real person.

Lin Shaojie also smiled when he heard the roar of laughter from the fans in front of him.

"It's alive, it must be alive, it's still 37 degrees, why don't you touch it?"

Lin Shaojie's words made the fans laugh again. At a glance, there were at least 100 people.

That's not much, but with the crowds of people joining in the fun, those who didn't know thought it was some kind of collective incident!

"Star chasing is free, but we have really affected other people. Look at some people over there waiting to get out of the airport to go home. There are so many of us, causing a lot of trouble for passengers. Don't crowd together , Signing a name and taking a photo is easy to talk about, how about we get out of the way..."

Maybe the fans who came to the scene at the beginning were just to join in the fun, to see if the idol in their hearts is like the one on TV.

After seeing the real person, no matter in terms of words, deeds or appearance, there is no dissatisfaction among the group of people. The male and female fans are almost half, and there are not a few people holding cameras in their hands to take pictures.

Some fans rushed to the front just to get Lin Shaojie to sign his name.

It is also rare for Lin Shaojie to experience the softness of signing and signing in. Of course, this is just a joke. His physical strength can allow him to write for a few hours, but it is unnecessary, and I really don't want to experience it again.

Seeing that the situation would not end in a short time, Lin Shaojie called John by the way and asked him to take Su Zhen and the others away first.

Afterwards, under the arrangement of the airport staff, the matter of picking up the plane was settled. When Lin Shaojie waved goodbye to everyone, the fans felt a little lost.

"Director Lin is really handsome. Not only is he handsome in playing football, but he doesn't have to mention his appearance. He just got off the plane and didn't dress up. He can catch up with me when I go to school."

"Hey, you have to save face. I don't know what kind of bird you looked like when you were in school, but I watched it secretly just now. I couldn't see it on TV, but in reality you are still very strong."

"Nonsense, can you beat those old blacks if you are not strong?"

"That's true! Don't dare to say anything else, it's really enjoyable to fight against my emperor."

"Of course, I always thought that Director Lin was taking the route of Xiao Kuai Ling and playing with skills. I didn't expect the talent to explode. The strength, speed, and rhythm were completely out of my control. This kind of technology is used to cover up talent, and the entire NBA is crying. Every time I watch the game, I feel that my mouth has become unclean."

Most of the discussion among the male fans still revolved around basketball. The group of female fans who came to the scene was not the same thing. The style of painting seemed to have changed a bit, and it sounded completely different.

Lin Shaojie in the female vision is tall for sure, and the simple sports coat is full of sunshine, unlike those stars who need to be painted, and the pure natural face is really exposed in front of everyone.

What kind of abstinence, domineering style, there should not be too many women who "read countless men" at the scene, but they were really shocked by Lin Shaojie who came out of the luggage cart.

A little dizzy, like a little drunk.

As the saying goes, one white covers three ugliness, not to mention that Lin Shaojie's facial features are impeccable. When selecting many faces at home and abroad, this face was dubbed by some people as a "modeling face." Anyway, most of the female fans present were a little bit concerned Not pure anymore.

The so-called Yangou in the world is a family, and all the people present today are rhodium-colored batches!

Of course, it is more lethal than this, I am afraid that it is the news of ninety years ago, no matter it is true or not, it must be true that the annual income exceeds [-] million, is there anything more fascinating than this?

"Oh my god! It's the first time I saw Director Lin and got an autograph. It's worth it. Today's squatting is totally worth it."

"You are still not happy to let you come, you can't walk when you see a real person, are you wet?"

"It's wet, it's been wet for a long time, by the way, have you seen the big belly woman before?"

"Of course I saw it. If she hadn't acted quickly, maybe I would have taken it to the south of the Yangtze River. It would be a sin to start this kind of top quality later."

"Rhodium color batch! You are the body of a greedy person."

"Then you are wrong. I am not only greedy for his body, but also for his money bag. If this is my man, I will be as happy as a fairy, do you believe it?"

"Each each other!"

The male fans are not blind or deaf, although they can't hear clearly, but looking at the eyes of those female fans who are fighting and fighting, how can they not know certain things.

Who doesn't like a talented and wealthy man, but thinking of Lin Shaojie's determination to leave, his basketball talent is impeccable, such a person is not worth chasing, who should he pursue?

Unlike the satisfaction of the fans, the media at the scene did not interview any valuable content. Fortunately, a lot of photos were taken, and some people even edited them and sent them out in order to grab the headlines.

Lin Shaojie, as their food and clothing parents, of course had to "lick" and "lick" well. If he writes well and is turned over by Lin's guide, he will become a success.

It is said that the person in charge of the current Xinlang sports sector, at the beginning, "licked" Director Lin to make him feel comfortable, and only then did he "get on the road". The media people who have mastered the wealth code, of course, want to try it.

"I was very happy to see Director Lin return to China. It was the first time I saw a real person with healthy limbs and no hidden dangers. This is the best news for me.

After watching the NBA for so many years, it was the first time I saw a Hua Chinese lead the team forward. The feeling of carrying a team by one person was particularly obvious during the playoffs, especially when West was injured. Later, this feeling is more obvious.

Many people are wondering why we like a star, not only because he did what we couldn't, but also because he never gave up in the most difficult times, hitting the inside again and again, throwing the basketball into the basket , played a beautiful game and won the final victory.

Although we are used to judging heroes by success or failure, I think even if Director Lin did not win the final championship, this season is still a success for him, but it is not so perfect.

Now, I am relieved to see an intact director Lin appearing in front of us.

Looking forward to a better Lin guidance next season.

What we are after is not the brilliance of a season, but the brilliance of the whole career. "

If other NBA players see something similar, they might want to beat this reporter to death. What is "better?" Does it mean that No. 13 is not good now?After winning the championship, how can we do better? Can the others survive?

How do you Hua people, don't bring this bad atmosphere to the NBA!

Wouldn't it be nice to go to an Ivy League school!This is our old black's private plot, can you give us a way out?

After tossing around the airport for at least an hour and a half, when Lin Shaojie got on the bus, Su Zhen and his parents had already left. John Thornton first arranged for someone to go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. This is the future second generation , no one should be careless.

Lin Shaojie did not feel tired on the way back, John said to Lin Shaojie after hanging up the phone.

"Boss, Ms. Su and the others went back first. The test results are very good. There is no problem. Except for the fatigue from the journey, everything is normal."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"Miss Su's father is also here, at your home!"

Looking at the quiet Lin Shaojie, John took the opportunity to say.

"It's good. For a father, he hasn't seen his daughter for a long time. By the way, he helped me look at the decoration of the house. I only saw the photos. What do you think?"

"It's great. Although the location is a bit out of the way compared to the new one, it's more convenient and cozy. It's very suitable for a family to live in."

The spacious space of a business car is far better than that of a car in Indiana, not to mention the sports car. Lin Shaojie plans to buy one.

Driving on the airport highway at this time, Lin Shaojie rarely looked at the scenery on both sides of the road.

The expressway is almost covered by the green plants on both sides of the road. From time to time, you can see vehicles going to and from the airport on the constantly flowing road. When a small gap is opened, the heat wave outside the window blows in.

"It's really hot today! Have you come here to get used to it?"

"Yes, it's much hotter than London!"

John said with emotion: "Although the time is not long, it is really unimaginable here. It is difficult for me to regard him as a developing country. In my impression, here is at most New Delhi and Mumbai... . . but in fact, he is doing better than developed countries in many ways.”

Lin Shaojie, who closed the car window, closed his eyes. He didn't know much about the imperial capital. Three or four years ago, he thought that after he succeeded in the college entrance examination, he would have the opportunity to come to the imperial capital to see Tiananmen Square and climb the Great Wall.

But in a blink of an eye, apart from what he achieved at the training base during the National Youth League, there are still many dreams that have not been fulfilled.

Everything that happened in the airport before is constantly reminding Lin Shaojie that he is no longer the man he used to be. Every word, deed, and action is no longer the meaning of a simple "person", or even a symbol. When he was overseas , or even represent a group.

"Although there are many problems, it cannot cover up his rapid development. There is boundless hope here. If we do well, we will have a bright future."

Listening to Lin Shaojie's "soft voice," John Thornton showed great approval.

Putting aside colored glasses, this is not only a bright future, but also a paradise for capital, with unlimited possibilities waiting for John Thornton to discover.

The company called Bytedance is the "object" that John Thornton is mainly responsible for, with explosive growth of users, unbelievable advertising revenue, and everything is moving forward at a frantic speed.

In John's impression, this will be a technology-based enterprise far superior to unicorns, and Lin Shaojie, who occupies the identity of the largest individual shareholder, will get far more wealth than when Coca-Cola purchased bodyArmor shares.

And all of this was done before Mr. "$5000 million", a "gambler" who dared to throw all his income into it. The mentality of a gambler, let him, a financial practitioner who used to walk on a tightrope, have the same obsession!

As for the student named "LUo", they made a small fuss, and the investment of 2000 million Chinese dollars, in John's view, was Lin Shaojie's way of making a living for his own hair, and finding a legitimate thing to do.

Look at the NBA, those "big brothers" who don't have a helper around them, and if the boss eats meat, they can't do without soup. There are not a few people like Iverson who feed a group of people by themselves.

It doesn't matter if you say they are stupid, the established facts cannot be changed, just like Iverson's bankruptcy is going bankrupt, but the days of leisure and leisure are not reduced, and each has its own way of life.

Anyway, in John's eyes, Lynn, who values ​​family and friendship, has only such a "fat boy," which is already good news. If all the seven aunts and eight aunts show up, he will be a little worried.

John Thornton is very satisfied with his current position, although it was a bit unpleasant when he announced it to the outside world, like the "housekeeper" of the Lin family.

But in fact, a "steward" with "British style" who is in charge of all economic affairs is what professional managers like them dream of.

That is the possibility of a talent who has reached the peak in the workplace.

In many cases, there is no separation between public and private affairs. One successful private event is far better than ten official ones you have accomplished.

John Thornton didn't feel that his profession had been humiliated, but the reality was that the young man sitting one step away from him was already the top sports superstar in the entire Hua Country. Not only that, in the Beautiful Country, in the Europe has great appeal.

what is that?

That's traffic, that's wealth code.

Although Forbes' celebrity list for this year has not yet been announced, judging from the data that has been obtained, Lin Shaojie may unexpectedly occupy the top position on the list.

The money from Coca-Cola alone is enough, not to mention the ability to attract money beyond this.

The little giant had a total salary of less than 800 million US dollars until his retirement. He signed a contract of 680 million US dollars in his rookie period in four years, while Lynn "only" signed a rookie contract of [-] million US dollars. A little giant, but Lin Shaojie's treatment is close to that of LeBron. The same is only three years, and the last year is still a player option.

Special treatment for special talents who belong to that standard, not to mention the heavy bet of Nike's "Mr. $5000 million" later, which is a nickname that is more deeply rooted in people's hearts than Lin Shaojie's financial freedom.

And John Thornton believes that after the rookie period, Lin Shaojie not only touched the Rose clause, but also the Bird clause. The fact that the rookie won the mvp and was selected as an All-Star made Lin Shaojie almost break all kinds of restrictions on him. There is almost no such thing as a salary ceiling.

More importantly, the benefits he brought to the Pacers have become the sweet pastry in the eyes of other teams.

To put it bluntly, buy it back as a "vase" or "mascot," even if you can't play, as long as you can make money.

Lin Shaojie who was sitting not far away could "see" John Thornton's thoughts clearly.

3000 million a year is the limit for a domestic celebrity endorsement, and it is rare for an annual income to exceed [-] million, but what about Lin Shaojie himself?Whether it's the salary or a few rare endorsements, they earn a lot of dollars, just like many people who want to go to Hollywood like moths to the flame. Although they know they are dead, they still don't stop.

On the one hand, it is exported to domestic sales, and it seems that it can be eaten when it goes out to be plated with gold; on the other hand, it is true that there are many given.

Of course, you have to have the capital to reach the level of Li and Cheng, and it is easy to have an annual income of over [-] million. Otherwise, you will be at the bottom of the list and let people be used as horsemen and become a signboard for harvesting domestic leeks.

Not to mention Lin Shaojie's current ability to attract money, in order to maintain his "high added value," he is very cautious in choosing endorsements. Behind the seemingly rare number is the extremely high unit price.

The main reason for not accepting some domestic endorsements before is that the "intermediary" took too much money. Lin Shaojie asked John Thornton to come back. It was all the resources he found. If those "second-hand scalpers" really took the difference, Lin Shaojie would rather not sign than to fatten those people.

It was smooth before entering the city from the airport, but when we got on the loop road, the crowded road section was very much like Los Angeles, and people panicked.

When the roads were built back then, I am afraid that not many people would have thought that in the era when a Santana sold for 20 yuan, today's cars have become a must-have item for weddings in some places, and every household will have a car in the future?

Now it's not just the congestion problem in the imperial capital, the congestion in each provincial capital is an increase visible to the naked eye.

Fortunately, there is still a limit to the congestion of "entering the city". It is not as desperate as when returning home during the Spring Festival, when there is no movement for a long time.

When the vehicle drove all the way into the courtyard, Lin Shaojie realized how good the location of the house recommended to him by Xie Zheng and his coach was.

It’s not that he hasn’t seen the map of the imperial capital when he was at the National Youth Training Base. The “Lin House” is only a few minutes’ walk away from parks, hospitals, schools, and shopping centers. It’s a near-perfect downtown Take a quiet location.

The rebuilt gate looks simple and simple, but it is full of sense of technology. The four private parking spaces beside the gate are convenient for daily travel. Can be used for other purposes.

Walking into this three-entry courtyard, judging from the area occupied, it is much larger than the general standard. In the past, no matter what, it was beyond the standard. It cannot be said that it is the house of a prince or noble, but it is also a rich businessman. Only then can it be covered.

I heard from Coach Xie that the original owner was considered rich in his ancestors, and now he is clamoring to go overseas for development, so he made the move.

Half floor-to-ceiling windows have been newly added to the wing rooms on the east and west sides, the porch is newly painted, and the thick solid wood does not show any material.

The main house on the north side is also newly decorated. Looking at the security system in the corner of the eaves, Lin Shaojie is not stupid. He was a little short of money when he bought the house. Although he had a lot of money for the decoration, he didn't spend so much!

Look at the quaint floor tiles under your feet, the old trees in the courtyard, the fish pond...everything and every scene are all made of money.

Listening to the smug voice inside, if Lin Shaojie was stupid and didn't know what happened, then he would be in hell.

"How about Lao Lin, is this house okay?"

"Yes, why not, I can still live in such a big courtyard as I grow old, this is the imperial capital, something I can't even imagine in my dreams."

Lin's mother, who accompanied Lin Congrong, also felt a little overwhelmed. There was such a large piece of land under the emperor's feet. According to his son, he even built another one at the root of the imperial city.

When the time comes, the wedding will be held there, and the daily life will be here.

At this time, I looked up at the decoration of the house. Su Zhen's father obviously brought private goods. The daughter hadn't "married" yet, but the feeling of "I've already married as a dowry first, you can't look down on my daughter" came over my face. Come.

Su's mother accompanied her husband, glanced sideways at Su Guosheng, and said that she was coming back to work, but in fact, she came to this courtyard to toss around every few days.

I don't think it's suitable here today, and I don't think it's right there tomorrow. I spent a lot of money back and forth, and I didn't see such care in my house back then.

Su's mother didn't blame her husband for wasting money, but the decoration was like a big toy, and she didn't do her job properly. Why didn't she go to the beautiful country to see her daughter in this spare time?

On the contrary, Su Zhen was very satisfied. This kind of quiet place, the whole courtyard is surrounded by a circle of decades-old trees, the spacious house doesn't feel cramped at all.

The warm yellow light is full of warmth. When I think about it, I might hold a baby in my arms in the courtyard and point to the birds chirping in the sky. I feel beautiful at that moment.

And Lin Shaojie's return made the laughter in the courtyard even louder.

That night, the news of Lin Shaojie's return to China spread all over the Internet. Of course Luo Xiaoou and others, who were too busy to touch the ground, knew about it, let alone Xie Zhenghe, who was also in the imperial capital.
