I really play basketball

Chapter 150 Christmas War or Fighting War
After shooting the rocket, the time is already approaching Christmas.

Lin Xing, who was still in the Bay Area, waiting for another round of bullets before leaving for the Big Apple, also felt the fiery atmosphere before Christmas.

Looking at the Christmas trees, Santa Claus, and various snowflake-shaped window grilles all over the street.

Although there was no snow in the bay area, Lin Xing still shivered when he saw these window grilles.

With the scene in front of him, Lin Xing thought of a song——

"Oh, it's snowing in Taipei and you said it was Styrofoam..."

He was reminded of the memory of his previous life, and began a long memory.

"What are you thinking, Star?"

Aaron Goodwin came from a distance, seeing Lin Xing's dumbfounded look, stretched out his hand and swiped Lin Xing's eyes twice.

Two strokes directly pulled Lin Xing back from the vortex of memories.

"nothing……"

After finishing a long series of memories, Lin Xing looked down at Goodwin in front of him: "How is it? Is it settled?"

"It's settled, Ferrari will use the two months before the All-Stars to customize a supercar just for you,

In addition, there are two commercials, one will be released before the All-Stars, and the other will be released after the All-Stars..."

"What about the endorsement fee?"

"First, the custom supercar is yours, and second, there is a $100 million endorsement fee."

"Okay, let's sign it..."

Lin Xing signed a contract with Ferrari. To put it simply, he announced two days ago that he will participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest again.

This official announcement immediately attracted the attention of the whole United States and even the world.

After all, at the All-Star Weekend last season, Lin Xing's performance in the dunk contest was really explosive.

Although I don't know who Lin Xing's opponents will be in this year's slam dunk contest, but with the No. 1 title in the NBA on the backboard, everyone believes that Lin Xing is the slam dunk champion.

The only suspense is how he will dunk in this year's dunk contest...

The opponent hasn't been decided yet, but Lin Xing has already decided how to buckle one of the buckles.

"Of course it's Feiyue Automobile, and I can make a fortune..."

Then Aaron Goodwin hit the ground running.

He first contacted Ferrari, and after a few chats, he finalized the intention of cooperation.

After quickly negotiating the terms of the contract, Lin Xing got Ferrari's endorsement contract.

At the moment when Ferrari's endorsement contract signed his name, Lin Xing thought of——

He can also say a classic trash talk to Pei Wuxin like Danzi:

"You bought your Ferrari yourself, but mine was given by the manufacturer!"

After seeing off the signing representative of Ferrari, Lin Xing turned around and asked again: "By the way, Aaron, what about the batch of Armani suits I ordered?"

"The logistics show that it will arrive tomorrow."

"Then send it directly to the Warriors training hall."

Unlike last year, this year Lin Xing prepared Christmas gifts early.

Counting teammates and coaches, Lin Xing ordered more than 30 suits from Armani.

He is going to reproduce a wave of male models of the Cavaliers many years later.

Although, the warrior's appearance is really hip.

Think Mad Men, think Tyrone Hill...

Forget it, or forget it.

……

Just when Lin Xing was thinking about Tyrone Hill, just as he turned and walked in the direction of home, Aaron Goodwin answered the phone.

Then, he turned his head to look at Lin Xing with a strange expression——

"Sta, one of your teammates has just been traded."

"what?"

Lin Xing was startled, and immediately thought of Tyrone Hill.

"Wouldn't it be Tyrone gone?"

"You guessed it, one round for Tyrone Silgar from the San Antonio Spurs..."

"Dennis Rodman?"

"Yes, Dennis Rodman!"

"At this time of the transaction, can't my Christmas gift be delivered?"

Lin Xing's first reaction, isn't Rodman able to catch up with the Christmas game?

It was his well-prepared Christmas present, one of which might not be delivered.

Aaron Goodwin rolled his eyes and reminded Lin Xing: "Isn't the most critical question that you haven't prepared Dennis Rodman's Christmas present?"

Lin Xing's eyes widened: "Yes?"

……

Rodman's deal, which had been delayed for more than a month, was finally completed on Christmas Eve.

Why did it take so long?Because Popovich has been fantasizing about using the Bulls' offer to raise the Warriors' offer.

From the beginning, the Bulls' offer was a one-for-one trade for Ron Harper.

From a value perspective, the Bulls' offer is no problem.

Ron Harper has fallen a bit this season, but anyway, he was an All-Star last season!
Dennis Rodman, who can play and not make trouble, is worth an All-Star.

So this transaction, in the eyes of the bulls, is an equivalent exchange.

But in the eyes of the Spurs, Rodman is just making trouble off the court, which prevents him from playing now.

In terms of strength, Rodman has no problems at all, that is, the NBA's top inside blue-collar, rebounding, single defense and assist defense are all full.

In contrast, Harper's decline is confusing.

The Spurs don't know how Harper fell like this, they dare not bet.

Plus they have no shortage of outsiders, only David Robinson's inside partner.

The Bulls' offer has never been considered by the Spurs.

To put it bluntly, the bull is a tool for raising prices.

Although in the end, the Bulls increased the size again, using Ron Harper to catch the young insider Corey Blunt, who did not meet the tactical requirements of the Zen master, and continued to buy Rodman.

The Spurs still refused, because the Warriors' Tyrone Hill is what they need more.

Although in the past month or so, the Warriors' inside group has played more prosperously is Chris Gatlin.

From the start of the game against the Lakers to the end of the Rockets game, Gatlin averaged 12 points and 17.4 rebounds per game in a total of 7.7 games, playing a quasi-star performance.

But during this period, Tyrone Hill's performance was not bad, averaging 9.7 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, playing his due value.

For the Spurs, Tyrone Hill's replacement for Rodman is almost a little bit worse, but it's better than nothing.

Therefore, the old Nelson added a second round, and Popovich lost the patience to continue procrastinating.

This deal, which had been delayed for more than a month, was just reached.

"Actually, there is a more critical issue... Rodman is here, it's not easy to get a triple-double!"

What is Rodman, a rebounding monster!
When it comes to rebounding and active leagues, he can say: Everyone here is rubbish.

At the peak, he averaged 18.7 rebounds per game. In the past two seasons with the Spurs, he also had about 17 rebounds.

As soon as he came, Lin Xing's rebounds would inevitably shrink.

"Don't make it to the end, the average triple-double is only a few tenths of a rebound per game..."

So, when I heard that the Warriors got Rodman's Lin Xing, my first reaction was two worries.

But soon, Lin Xing found that his two worries were unnecessary.

……

Before the game against the Bullets, the Warriors practice facility.

Before Tyrone Hill left, Lin Xing distributed the Christmas gifts he had prepared in advance.

"One Armani custom suit for each person, this is the Christmas gift I prepared for everyone this year,
I hope everyone can wear this suit and show up in the aisle of Madison Square Garden on the night of the Christmas game..."

The teammates took this person's custom-made suits, tried them on, and they fit well.

"Sida, did you secretly measure our size?"

"Steal, do you need it, I asked Eric, what size condom do you use, I already know..."

Someone was hit by Lin Xing and blushed.

Don't be surprised, there are so many old blacks in the NBA, there are always those who are shameless and shameless.

I met a girl in an away game, and I couldn't find a place to buy a temporary set. My first reaction was to find the team's equipment manager.

The number of times has increased, and providing condoms for away games has become one of the tasks of the team's equipment manager.

Don't ask how Lin Xing knew, he used this service when he was fighting in Los Angeles!

The only exception was the madman, who stared at him:
"You fart, I don't need a condom at all!"

Hearing that madmen don't need condoms, Lin Xing gave a thumbs up, he is really a warrior!

In the locker room, almost all teammates put on suits, and the first reaction was to look in the mirror.

Some even reached out and rubbed their suits, feeling: "Armani is Armani, this material is so comfortable!"

Only Hill, who was packing up his things and preparing to leave, was very moved:
"Thank you, Sta, this is the first Christmas present I have received this year, and I believe it will be the best.

It's a pity that the Spurs can't win the Christmas game, otherwise..."

He didn't expect that he, who was about to leave, could still receive a gift from Lin Xing.

"It goes without saying thank you, Tyrone, there's gotta be something for Christmas, isn't there?"

After patting Tyrone Hill, Lin Xing turned around and went to look for Old Nelson. He wanted to know the specific details of Rodman's deal.

"The transaction is the same as the official announcement. Tyrunga has a second round and we get Dennis Rodman."

"So, when will Dennis Rodman arrive? Will the Christmas game be in time?"

In Lin Xing's view, Tyrone Hill will arrive in San Antonio tomorrow.

If the Spurs have a game on Christmas Eve, Tyrone Hill must be able to catch up.

So by the same token, Rodman should also be able to catch up.

In order to prevent Rodman from having a reason to lose his temper as soon as he came, he had to rush to Armani to order a Rodman suit.

but……

"Christmas battle?"

Old Nelson glanced at Lin Xing with a strange look.

Then he shook his head: "Don't think about it, Si Da, I have already granted him a two-month vacation, if everything goes well..."

Old Nelson paused for a moment, calculating the time.

"If all goes well, he could make his Warriors debut by the end of February."

At this moment, Lin Xing's expression is——

He stared, not only in shock, but also incomprehensible.

He couldn't understand how old Nelson allowed Rodman to take a 2-month vacation?
It can only be said that Rodman's thorny attributes, even the old Nelson, find it very tricky.

The old Nelson's way of dealing with Rodman is to first agree to Rodman's seemingly outrageous request.

In other words, Rodman was satisfied first.

When Rodman comes back, he has no reason to look for trouble.

Lin Xing frowned, but also heaved a sigh of relief.

His two worries no longer exist.

……

That night, the home game against the Bullets.

In the first three quarters, Weber and his college teammate Huo Ershu performed well,

But in the final quarter, the Warriors won a decisive victory, and finally won by 17 points.

林星取下24分10个篮板11个助攻2个盖帽和1个抢断，赛季的No.11场三双。

"After World War I, Stalin surpassed Michael Jordan!"

After the game, the "San Francisco Chronicle" played a very scary headline.

Lin Xing, who was preparing to leave the Big Apple with the team at the Warriors training facility, felt a headache when he saw ESPN's report.

Although smart people know that the San Francisco Chronicle is a headline party.

But in the world, there are always people who are not smart, isn't it?

Take the NBA as an example. There are many people who are not smart at first glance, aren't they madmen?
And the elementary school student from Jinzhou in the future doesn't look very smart either.

"There is no lower limit, there is really no lower limit!"

Lin Xing shook his head and threw away the San Francisco Chronicle.

Looking up, he saw a fat man.

Ah no, it's a bug.

No, it's still not right, it should be called a fat bug...

Yes, that's right, after more than a month, the bug appeared again.

"You look surprised, Star?"

Xiao Chong frowned, with a puzzled look on his face.

Lin Xing spread his hands, he couldn't be surprised, after not seeing each other for more than a month, Xiao Chong is as fat as two people.

This speed of gaining weight is outrageous compared to 077.

"Tim, you also..."

Lin Xing couldn't hold back, and got started.

He rubbed the fat on Xiao Chong's body, and said with emotion, "Are you too fat?"

Xiao Chong blushed: "Ah, don't say I'm fat, if you lie in bed for a month, you'll be fat too."

"Are you ready to get out of bed?"

"Yes, I can get out of bed and move around, but I still have to use crutches."

"You still have to use crutches, why do you come back?"

"It's Christmas, come back to collect presents!"

"..."

Lin Xing was speechless, accepting gifts?
"Oh, yes, and, I heard that we are going to the Big Apple to play against the Knicks in this Christmas game. I don't think I can miss this game."

"You can't play again. If you are absent or not, is it important?"

"Of course it's important. If there is a fight, someone has to stand up and fight!"

"..."

Lin Xing was speechless again, but like Xiao Chong, there were many people who felt that the Warriors vs. Knicks Christmas game was likely to be a big fight.

Mainly before the game, Charles Oakley was still very unconvinced.

Facing the reporter, he uttered harsh words directly: "First of all, I promise, I will not take the initiative to cause trouble,
But if Si Da felt that he had the upper hand in the previous two fights and that he could do whatever he wanted this time, he must be thinking too much. "

Based on this passage, many people think that this Christmas fight is very likely to become the first Christmas fight on the basketball court.

Lin Xing felt that it was outrageous——

"Can't you hear Charles Oakley's obvious confession?"

It sounds like Oakley has spoken harshly.

In fact, as soon as he came up, he promised that he would never take the initiative to cause trouble, and he was already admitting cowardice.

Let’s talk about those villains from the Knicks one by one——

Long before Oakley gave up, Anthony Mason had already given up.

Long before Anthony Mason confessed, John Starks and gorilla Ewing had already confessed.

So the current Knicks are just a bunch of cowards.

Fighting with a bunch of cowards is impossible.

To be honest, Lin Xing would really have wanted to fight the Knicks if he hadn't been afraid that the Christmas game would start, angering the old man and giving him a series of suspensions.

The main reason is that he really wants a higher assist defense attribute. Ewing's is the best, and Oakley's is barely usable.

But, this game, this fight, he really can't fight.

You know, this is the Christmas game, or the Christmas game at Madison Square Garden, the Mecca of basketball.

If there is a fight in this game, what is the difference between shit on the old man's head?
A series of suspensions is nothing. Lin Xing is mainly afraid that this fight will affect his plans for the MVP of the regular season, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

For the MVP of the regular season and in order not to anger the old man, Lin Xing felt that it was better to be on the safe side.

Bringing fat worms on crutches, on Christmas Eve, the warriors set off for the Big Apple City.

They are ready for a much-anticipated Christmas game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

As for whether it's a fighting game on the basketball court, it depends on how the Knicks choose...
