NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 183 The suspension is over, the king returns, and the Beastist power forward will fight again!

Say something.

Leaving aside the crippled feet.

Bowen is also a very good defensive wing player.

This guy's biting defense is indeed very suitable for the Lakers' current requirements for improving the defensive strength of the flanks.

"Playing in Europe now?" Yinhu was a little confused.

The Lakers management hopes that Lin Hong will recommend an active player who plays in the NBA.

In the end, this kid was stunned to recommend a player who was cut in the NBA?
Are you addicted to picking up leaks? !

This sign is wrong!

"Lin, I found that you seem to like this kind of player that no one wants."

Silver Fox Harris couldn't help sighing.

He didn't look down on these leftovers either.

Take a look at Hori.

This is a ticking time bomb for Phoenix to sting, punch coaches, and other teams to avoid like snakes and scorpions.

Look at Big Ben again.

Lost in the draft in 96, the 1-meter tall can't play the striker, but likes to play the center.

Now, a player who was cut off to hang out in Europe is introduced.

Harris didn't even know where Lin Hong had heard of Bruce Bowen.

that's the truth.

When he read Bowen's name to the scouts, even the Lakers' scouts were stunned, falling into silence and self-doubt.

"Coach Harris, are you sure this is the player Lin introduced?"

The Lakers scout looked through the player information in his hands several times: "I still can't find this person here!"

"There must be a guy like that, he played one game for the Miami Heat this season."

Yinhu shrugged, and repeated Lin Hong's introduction: "Now...he should play in Europe, you can find out with the people in Miami."

"All right!"

Nodding his head, the Lakers scouts were also decisive, and immediately got up and headed to Europe.

of course.

He's not doing it for Bruce Bowen.

Purely looking for a paid vacation.

Does anyone really think that a player who was waived after playing one game in the NBA can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Lakers' flank defense?

Limit Michael Jordan?
play? !
The days of Lin Hong's suspension passed quickly.

During the suspension period, Kobe experienced a wave of single-core leadership as the boss.

Honestly, it's fascinating!
Kobe has imagined more than once what it would be like to lead an NBA team by himself.

Especially during the period of Lin Hong's crazy single-core output, Kobe looked forward to leading the team even more

Then, Jordan's successor was woken up by the cold reality.

Strength cannot match ambition!

In the 9 games that Lin Hong was absent, Kobe joined the empty cut group several times, leading the team to 3 wins and 6 losses, which was too miserable to bet on.

Of course, this is really not to blame for Kobe's incompetence.

It is true that the opponents of the Lakers during this schedule are a bit strong, coupled with the suspension of the main players, the depth of the lineup is seriously insufficient.

February 1th, US time.

The last game of Lin Hong's 15-game suspension.

Bryant scored a career-high 34 points to lead the Lakers to a win over the visiting Vancouver Grizzlies.

In the 15 games that Lin Hong was absent, the Lakers achieved a record of 4 wins and 11 losses.

The overall record has changed from 26 wins and 1 loss to 30 wins and 12 losses.

From No. [-] in the West, it fell to No. [-] in the West, equal to the record of the Seattle SuperSonics.

Second only to the Houston Rockets' 31 wins and 10 losses.

The Chicago Bulls who were also hit at the Chicago Budokai.

During the absence of Rodman and Pippen, the record was also poor.

Jordan returned from a few days off, and he has been unable to find the fiery state at the beginning of the season.

Fortunately, the Bulls' opponents were not too strong, so they were able to maintain their position as the top two in the Eastern Conference.

And, for the bulls.

The impact of the Chicago Martial Arts Club is not limited to this season.

Rodman's comeback this season will be postponed for 900 million US dollars, lying in a hospital bed, thinking about it is distressing.

Scotty.Pippen's waist injury has worsened, and it will also take some time to recuperate.

But seeing Rodman lying on the bed with an annual salary of 900 million US dollars, he did his best for the Bulls dynasty, his waist was injured, but he only had an annual salary of just over 200 million US dollars.

Pi Erye not only hurts his back, but also hurts his heart even more.

He decided that if the state recovers as expected after his comeback.

He formally submitted a request to the Bulls management to sign a new contract.

If the Bulls don't give a new contract, Pi Erye even has the urge to leave Chicago.

There is no father here, there is a place to keep the father!
During this period of lying down in the hospital, Pippen deeply realized:
Any honor is bullshit.

Only a beautiful knife is king!
As long as there is a beautiful knife, there is heaven everywhere! !

He Rodman was lying in the hospital and got 900 million. I, Pi Erye, don't deserve to get 900 million?

In fact, after Erye Pi left the Bulls in the future, in the Rockets' first year, his annual salary was 110 million US dollars

In the future in the Trail Blazers, Pippen is close to getting an annual salary of 2000 million US dollars.

The annual salary of 225 million is indeed unable to match Pi Erer's ability and status.

His complaints are also completely understandable.

of course.

Bystanders can understand, can the Bulls management understand?

Then you have to draw a question mark.

Will Pi Er Er fall out with the Bulls management because of the issue of contract renewal in the summer?

That's a big question mark.

"We can finally usher in Lin Hong's return, which is great news for the whole team.
At the same time, the United States, Los Angeles.

Kobe, who attended the post-match press conference, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief: "Dude, come back quickly, I miss you so much!"

Kobe is not kidding.

He really missed the days of fighting side by side with Lin Hong.

Kobe prefers the feeling of winning rather than being the leader of the empty cut group.

What's the point when the boss doesn't win? !

Obviously, with Lin Hong as his partner, holding his thighs, winning will be easier.

Don't say I like hugging Lin Hong's thigh.

We are playing brother basketball!

Brother basketball, know everything.

The news of Lin Hong's return after a 15-match suspension quickly spread across the United States.

Converse took advantage of this shareholder wind, bought the cover headline of the "Los Angeles Times", and announced to the world:

The new color scheme of the GSI1 generation will be available for the first time after Lin Hong's comeback!
This pair of boots with an unknown color scheme also has a domineering name: King- return!
That is, the return of the king!
There is one thing to say, seeing Converse's promotional methods, Lin Hong has to admit: the former half of the country does have its own uniqueness!
February 1th, US time.

The Sonics will sit at the Key Arena to meet the challenge of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Yes.

It was the first game when Lin Hong's suspension ended.

The Lin Ke combination will be a guest in Seattle to welcome the revenge battle between the supersonic duo.

To be honest, it was really exciting to play against the brutalist power forward Rainman Kemp.

This time, it is no exception.

This game is also regarded as a civil war between the Western All-Star starters! !
Gloves + Rain Man VS Celestial Giant + Peter Pan.

Therefore, before the game started, Converse officials deliberately found Lin Hong.

The main purpose is to put on the feet and promote the new color boots of the GSI1 generation.

"I have been looking forward to the rematch with Lin Hong, but you say he is the most violent power forward, which is a bit disrespectful!"

America, Seattle.

An unremarkable Key Arena.

Glove Payton, who was interviewed by the media in the player channel before the game, directly stated: In my opinion, the representative of a violent power forward will always be Sean! "

"Lin Hong is very good, and the ban has just been lifted today, but we don't mind letting the new ticket champion wake up!"

"And Bryant, I will let him experience what a finals-level defense is!!"

Mention the glove Peyton.

People have the impression that he is the king of trash talk on the point guard.

His phrase "passing you is like crossing the road in the morning" has long been a common trash talk in the field.

He doesn't have gorgeous crossovers, doesn't have too many passionate dunks, and doesn't have the same calm mind as Stockton.

But he relied on fierce steals time after time, passing the ball without looking at people time after time, shaking his head and talking trash after making shots, and became the star with the most distinctive personality and the most comprehensive skills among point guards in the 90s.

Imagine him barking his teeth and claws in front of you, while chattering in your ear, do you want to beat him up.

“Lin, you must be careful of Sean Kemp!”

Warm up before the game, the Lakers halftime.

Kenny Smith, who had played against Kemp several times, couldn't help reminding Lin Hong aloud.

"That guy plays very violently, even Hakeem Olajuwon and Karl Malone are not necessarily opponents!"

"I can attest to that. Kenny is right."

New aid Robert Horry also reminded Lin Hong out of kindness: "We met them in the playoffs back then, and his defensive actions were indeed rude."

"But to be honest, he really played violently!"

Both Horry and Smith were members of the Rockets' two consecutive championships that year, and they played against the Rainman at the same time.

Brutalist power forward is definitely not a casual talk.

nowadays.

Lin Hong had just lifted the ban again.

Facing the first battle of the Celestial Giant's comeback, there is absolutely no way Rain Man will be merciful!
"It's just that he is defeated, but he dares to punch, and I will definitely accompany him to the end?!"

Lin Hong shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and sneered, "Are his fists as hard as my elbows?"

"Definitely not."

Hearing Lin Hong's words, Kenny Smith shook his head decisively.

Lin Hong's pair of iron elbows, ordinary people can't bear it at all.

You must know that Rodman the worm was sent to the ICU with two punches and one elbow.

If you really want to pick it up, even if the originator of the Fauvism comes, you can only give it for nothing.

Up to two more cubits!
"But you still have to be careful, that guy has a lot of defensive moves."

Although he knew that Lin Hong's fighting power was amazing, the big brother Kenny Smith still reminded him patiently: "The most important thing is to protect yourself."

Veteran players like Kenny Smith, who have experienced big scenes, are very aware of the importance of health for a young player.

Although there are not many geniuses, only healthy geniuses can go further.

"I understand, don't worry bro."

Lin Hong didn't worry much about his health.

Steel and iron bones are no joke!

The pre-match warm-up ended quickly, and the starting players of the two teams stepped onto the court one after another.

Sean Kemp was not as hostile as Gloves. He found Lin Hong immediately, and hugged and greeted the Celestial Giant.

"Lin, I won't lose this time."

While patting Lin Hong on the back, Rain Man joked, "You have to be careful, I will dunk on your head."

"Really?"

"Of course, if you're not afraid of being knocked to the ground by me, feel free to come in and challenge me."

Lin Hong laughed at Yuren: "If I say that, you won't dare to come, will you? Don't make me look down on you!"

"If you say that, I'm going to go in and detain you!"

Lin Hong never said anything cowardly: "Xiao En, wait for today's top five goals!"

Not being the protagonist of the five best balls.

Instead, he became the background emperor of the five best balls!
Rain Man laughed even more.

He admired Lin Hong's tough character.

Don't be afraid of the sky, don't be afraid of the earth, hard-talking people are even harder.

It's a pity that the Sonics failed to recruit Lin Hong to the team last summer.

Otherwise, wouldn't the combination of supersonic and violent twin towers be the invincible opponent of the alliance?
General manager Bob Whistle is really bad.

Bob Whistle would have swore if he had known.

What the hell? !
He is the No. 96 pick in the [-]th session, only for the existence of a big shark!
What chips can we exchange in Seattle?
air?
Brain watts it! !
of course.

Regardless of who is responsible, this battle is inevitable anyway.

It is worth mentioning that before today's game starts.

Lin Hong squatted down in front of the technical stage again.

Then, the reporter on the sidelines focused the camera on Lin Hong's feet knowingly.

Lin Hong replaced the pair of GSI1 generation Zijin boots that fans dream of.

Replaced with a pair of new color GSI1 generation with platinum and gold as the main tone.

"If you're not mistaken, the platinum color GSI1 that Lin Hong just put on - the return of the king!"

"Oh, to be honest, I think the GSI1 with platinum color scheme is more cool and fashionable than the purple gold color scheme. If it is on sale, I must snap up it!"

The two ESPN commentators on the scene are also senior sneaker enthusiasts.

The sales volume of GSI1 generation Zijin is really limited, and they failed to grab it.

Now that the GSI1 generation platinum color is on the market, they have to get their hands on whatever they say!

at the same time.

Alliance president Stern, who is in the first match of Guan Linhong's comeback, can't help himself not paying attention to the cool color-matched GSI1 generation on Lin Hong's feet.

In the NBA in the 90s, the color of sneakers was mostly pure black and white.

Even if it is Nike's AJ series, Jordan wears it with a fine!

When Lin Hong wore GSI1's purple-gold color scheme in the Christmas War, Stern had thought of banning this bright color from appearing.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the change.

Lin Hong was suspended before finishing a game.

Regarding the ban on sneakers, Stern temporarily left it behind.

As a result, now, not only did Lin Hong not change the color scheme of the sneakers, he even wore them in platinum.

A no-wear order from the NBA management is already on its way to Converse headquarters!

of course.

The ban on wearing is not absolutely impossible to wear.

If Lin Hong wants to continue to play on behalf of GSI1, he will have to pay a fine.

In short: money leads the way! !

The same punishment mechanism as that of Michael Jordan wearing AJ1 was staged again.

And the fine is a trivial matter for Converse!
Moore Converse has long been mentally prepared, and the NBA will officially ban the GSI1 generation with bright colors.

What is a crisis?
It is both a danger and an opportunity.

As long as it works properly, crises can be turned into opportunities.

Taking advantage of the gimmick of the ban on wearing, let the popularity and exposure of GSI1 generation rise to a higher level

You are not seen.

After the AJ1 was banned that year, Nike made this pair of epoch-making basketball shoes a lot of money.

Now that GSI1 is banned, Converse firmly believes that he can also make this pair of basketball shoes that transcend the times earn a lot of blood!
Isn't it just a $1000 fine for a game?

This money, Converse paid out!
Shot back to Seattle.

Key Arena.

Jump ball.

In the middle circle, Campbell and Rainman Kemp prepare to jump the ball.

"This guy must have springs installed under his feet, so he can jump so fast?"

The reaction was equal, Campbell and Rainman Camp took off almost at the same time, but in an instant, they saw the other side take the lead and took the ball away first.

Even if he was taller, he made a gap, and immediately made him feel the crushing of talent.

The Sonics attacked, and Payton began to advance.
