Chapter 118 Busy Holidays

Finally leaving the terrifying home court in Salt Lake City, Lin Yi finally crawled out of the pile of muscle sticks. He and all the members of the Heat, including Spoelstra, slept collectively on the return flight. After dying and not even waking up after landing, this match may be the most exhausting fight they have experienced so far.

Lin Yi, who crawled back to his apartment like a dead dog, directly threw his whole body on the big bed, fell asleep with the quilt covered, and now he had no other thoughts other than wanting to sleep to death. Muscular men like Zell and Millsap have been under the basket for almost two hours, and now every inch of his body is protesting, and the sore feeling hits him, making him close his sleepy eyes and fall asleep.

He didn't know how long he slept for this sleep, until the ringing of the mobile phone next to the bed woke him up.

This is the first time he has decided to relax and skip regular training. His greatest wish now is to sleep soundly in bed, but the ringing of the mobile phone still interrupts his dreams.

"Hey, tell me who it is. If it's okay, I'll hang up right now." Lin Yi didn't even open his eyelids. He subconsciously grabbed the phone next to the bed and asked muttering. If it was someone who didn't matter, he swore he would Hang up the phone immediately, turn off the phone by the way, and continue with his sleep plan.

"On the night of the 23rd, there is a dinner event, which must be attended." Rogge's voice came from the phone, and Lin Yi was about to equate him with the devil now. Hearing this inhumane decision, Lin Yi almost thought He hung up the phone, but considering Rogge's nagging ability, Lin Yi still decided to give up his previous idea.

"Please, I finally have a five-day vacation. Can you stop encroaching on my private time? After all, Xiner wants me to go back to accompany you. Now I have to attend some kind of banquet. I'm so tired that I'm almost unable to crawl. Get up, discuss it, can you not go?" Now Lin Yi has almost come to the point where he hates those evil business activities.

"Oh, then you can sleep for another two hours, and I will send someone to deliver the clothes for the banquet later." After speaking, Rogge hung up the phone, and Lin Yi opened his mouth wide into the air.

"Uh, this devil, did he hear what I said earlier? This... I... oh." Lin Yi is already used to Rogge's arrangement now, and he knows the result of the appeal It's still the same, as long as Rogge decides to do something, he must finish it before he can rest.

The plan to sleep in for the first time was shamelessly interrupted by Rogge. As soon as Lin knew that Rogge said to let him sleep for another two hours, it was definitely a lie, and the person who delivered the clothes would definitely come to the door in an hour. All he had to do was get up from the bed, tidy up his appearance, and wait for that damned banquet to start.

Before a person is famous, he may think how wonderful it is to be famous, but Lin Yi now knows that being famous is not such a wonderful thing. Since he was noticed in college games, reporters, news, and various business activities , has taken up most of his time.

Thanks to Roger being able to block some unnecessary activities for him, many NBA stars have stagnated after entering the league. Why is that?It seems easy to understand now, because they spend most of their time between the negotiating table and the wine table, venting all their energy on women and their extravagant lives, so they have no time and energy for training.

Why do many players start to slack off after signing big contracts, not only because they lost the motivation to move forward, but also because they are entangled in countless commercial contracts, and various commercial activities fill their schedules, so few people come down Can continue to maintain their own state.

This can also explain why many guys start to explode when the contract year comes. It's not that they are incapable, but that they have become lazy and don't want to continue to sweat on the basketball court. If there is no incentive for salary, they may choose Keep going like this until you retire. Occasionally, two guys with a strong sense of honor will choose to lower their worth during the last contract period to find a team that can get a ring. If they are lucky, they can retire. If you are unlucky, you can earn some dollars and go home for the elderly.

Now Lin Yi is very thankful for the poor results of the Heat last season. If it wasn’t for that poor season, he and Wade may continue to fight on the court while preparing for Christmas. It is also a torture to be overemphasized by the league. , For example, the invincible Peter Pan and the Celtics with the Big Three, they will continue to fight on the court when other people's families are reunited.

The current NBA league has been completely transformed from a purely competitive league to a diversified commercial league that complements entertainment and competition under the leadership of the greatest leader David Stein. Players are more often than not performers. rather than a mere competitor.

In this happy festival, dedicating one of the most gorgeous performances to it is one of David Stein's most proud promotion policies. As for the players, as long as you are still a professional player, then you have to give up a lot of things. Delighting the crowd, because your paychecks come from them, is how the NBA survives.

Compared with these unlucky guys, now Lin Yi's mental balance is much better. "This must be a guy with a dark mind." At least he can have five days of rest during this festival, but Roger's schedule still doesn't leave him much free time, alas, The devil who only knows money.

"Bell..." The phone that had just hung up rang again, and Lin Yi picked up the phone helplessly while cursing Roger.

"I'm already up now, don't rush me any more." Lin Yi pleaded helplessly on his phone.

Silence, there was no Rogge's urging voice coming from the other end of the phone, but a slight stagnation.

"It seems that our big star has also developed the habit of sleeping late." The voice from the other end of the phone made Lin Yi's mouth open again.

"Uh, reporter Fan Da, I thought it was my agent who came to urge me again, so I'm very sorry." Lin Yi already knew who the person on the other end of the phone was from his voice, the one who hadn't been posted by his side recently Spicy reporter Fan Ling.

"Should I honor the meal you owed me?" Fan Ling's tone was full of smiles, and Lin Yi swore that the woman must be smiling triumphantly on the other end of the phone.

"Uh, let's talk about the time, but I can't do it tonight. I have to attend a banquet, and I really don't have time." Lin Yi's attitude towards this beautiful reporter is to try not to provoke her, because the other party's way of acting is too proactive. I would rather go bankrupt and eliminate disasters.

"I'll let you off on Christmas Eve and Christmas, so let's call you on the 26th. I'll pick a restaurant and call you. I won't save money for you." Fan Ling's way of doing things is so neat. Before he gave a reply, he had arranged a time for him, and he would never give Lin Yi a chance to refute, so he quickly hung up the phone, leaving only Lin Yi scratching his head in front of the mirror.

"Yeah, on the 23rd and 26th, the two-day rest time has just been explained, alas." Lin Yi sighed helplessly.

Lin Yi waited sadly for the evening banquet at his home. At the same time, a plane landed slowly at Salem Airport in Oregon. A fair-skinned and delicate figure walked out of the safe passage with a suitcase, black eyes His pupils were still shining, but there seemed to be some melancholy between his brows.

It is impossible for Lin Yi to know what happened thousands of miles away. He is now being questioned by the angry Lin Xiner on the phone. His love for this little princess who is dependent on him has never diminished, especially Now he is more unreasonable.

"Okay, Xin'er, I'm done with work tonight, and I'll go back with Rogge tomorrow. I swear, I will spend Christmas Eve with you, okay?" Lin Yi is now trying to comfort this crying little girl, listening By the time he couldn't go back today, Lin Xiner had already become reluctant on the other end of the phone. She hadn't seen her brother for a long time, and she didn't want to spend Christmas with him.

After finally coaxing my sister, Rogge called again. This festival seems to be really busy, and Lin Yi felt out of control for the first time.

Not only Lin Yi is busy, but many people in the Heat team are also busy. For them, this holiday may consume more energy than playing away games. This is the life of NBA players. The ordinary days may have to wait for them to really leave the public eye Only in the future can we really own it.

Dwyane Wade is busy with his own divorce lawsuit this holiday, and now he has completely overturned from the image of a good family man, a once good man has become a romantic libertine, and he It is also necessary to go to some kind of professional hospital to treat a certain disease during this holiday.

Marion is busy communicating with his agent, because there is a voice from the top management of the Heat, which may be related to him, or related to his future whereabouts, and the result may be known soon. All you have to do is plan for the future with your agent.

Pat Riley is worrying about the contracts and player information on the table. He has to make a decision before the trading market closes at the end of February. As for whether the result of this decision is good or bad, he is also gambling Now, the information on the table is the chips he wants to bet on, and his bet is the future of the Heat. In order to keep Wade, he can only win, not lose.

Spoelstra is frowning at the upcoming schedule. Several super teams in the East and West have not yet confronted them head-on. The future games cannot be as easy as the previous ones. The Devil's schedule that constitutes may be their toughest time.

It seems that no one can spend this holiday comfortably. Lin Yi is not the only one who can't help himself. This is the NBA. No one can enjoy it comfortably. Although they are all millionaires, in this world where ordinary people In the days of enjoying the joy to the fullest, they still have to run around.

What a busy holiday.
