Chapter 91 The Black Hand Behind It

It only took three quarters to win the toughest Trail Blazers. The Miami Heat started their continuous road trip to the Eastern Conference with an impressive record of eight consecutive victories. In the following six days, their lives were almost Lin Yi has finally begun to experience what the real NBA schedule is, without ever leaving the airport and having to play four high-intensity confrontation games in six days. This is not the craziest back-to-back journey.

In six days, they had to meet the Raptors and the Wizards twice in a row. The Heat did not win all the games as predicted by the so-called forecasters in the league, and finally lost under the drag of their tired bodies. It was their tenth regular-season game, and the nine-game winning streak ended here.

90:101, the Miami Heat lost to the Washington Wizards who attacked like crazy. The crazy knife of the Washington Wizards does not necessarily have a big explosion at any time. Whoever catches up with these madmen's crazy period will be counted Unlucky, this time it just happened to be the turn of the Miami people, but this knife was swung twice, and both hit the Heat's head, which is really a bit unlucky.

Lin Yi also tasted the taste of failure for the first time, but he didn't lose the confrontation on the court, but lost to the volatile damn weather and the overworked body caused by continuous games.He was struck down by the flu virus, probably his first taste of being sick between games, and even an ice pack on his head didn't cool him down.According to Wade's words, this guy's face was burnt redder than a monkey's butt, and the temperature of that face could be cooked even if it was used to roast meat.

The Heat's weak interior made Lin Yi, a rookie, have to fight with the opponent's interior for [-] minutes every game.Lin Yi, who experienced such a strong confrontation for the first time, finally had to pay the price for his overdrawn physical strength, and a sudden flu also disrupted Spoelstra's plan.

They only got two wins and two losses in the four away games.It's not outstanding, but it's not ugly either. After all, the 67 wins and [-] losses after the start of the regular season are quite different from the [-] wins and [-] losses of last year. Even Pat Riley and Owner Mitch Arison is already very satisfied.

Although they lost two games against the Wizards, they won both games against the Raptors.This made Jermaine O'Neal, who had suffered a lot in transfer matters that summer, almost go crazy with anger. In one of them, he was sent off for six fouls.

After recovering from the flu, Lin Yi made the former all-star insider completely lose his due demeanor on both offense and defense. There is no way, a crazy O'Neal is really no threat in Lin Yi's eyes, and he has no calmness. His brain is not good at basketball, which made Wade feel more and more wise about how wise the gamble on the future was.

Not only Wade felt good about the unfinished deal, but even Pat Riley was full of praise after seeing Lin Yi's performance, but now Pat Riley knows that the most important thing he needs to plan is to find Lin Yi. A qualified substitute.

After all, it is impossible for Blount to have any expectations at his age. It is not an option to rely on Lin Yi to fight alone. Riley does not want to use his future as an overdraft. Sports fatigue injury, I'm afraid Wade will come to his office and rant.

After consecutive away games, Lin Yi, who returned to Miami, could finally get two days of precious adjustment period. He really wanted to lie lazily on his bed and stretch his body, because the bed in the away hotel has never really made him really comfortable. Every time he slept, he had to attach something to his feet to satisfy his tall figure.

But Rogge doesn't intend to give him too much time to rest. The several advertising contracts and endorsement contracts that have already come to him have kept him busy for almost a whole week. He can hardly wait until Lin Yi returns to the land of Miami. He wouldn't miss this opportunity to work out the details with him.

A dazzling list of merchants, numerous cooperation clauses, and various complicated legal provisions, when these things are all covered with Lin Yi's big bed, Lin Yi would rather be tired of traveling in the away game, and he is not willing to see such a thing. There are so many things, this is simply more troublesome than asking him to mark five Kobes.

But no matter how painful it is, Lin Yi has to understand these things with Rogge, this is the task assigned to him by old Chuck.

Old Chuck, who has been in the league for decades, has seen too many once brilliant stars have to rely on social welfare to survive after retiring.Rogge himself has seen a survey report. In the financial reports of the past 30 years, at least 60% of NBA players were forced to file for bankruptcy within five to eight years of retiring.

This is not a material that can be seen in the sun. David Stein will not let people know the dark side of these alliances, but these figures are still the most conservative estimates.

"A professional athlete makes as much money as they can spend, but most players can't do that."

"Why? NBA salaries are raised every year, but these players are often overdrawn."

In addition to worshiping money, the biggest characteristic of NBA players is that they earn more money and spend more.

These guys who came out of the slums, when they have money, the doors of luxury stores have been opened to them indefinitely. The ten-thousand-square-foot ten thousand-square-foot mansion, the garage is full of cars of various brands .There are even more people who burn bags will regard yachts and planes as their own playthings. The reason why Sprewell rejected the Timberwolves' three-year 3 million contract was that it was not enough to support his family. That is really true, because he has a luxury yacht. It is estimated that only by changing the 2100 in front of the contract to 2 can he continue to be extravagant.

This is the life of an NBA player, but Rogge doesn't have to worry too much about it, because Lin Yi's savings made Rogge feel guilty of wasting a $30 lunch outside.

The child of the poor has long been the head of the family, and Lin Yi, who has seen the ups and downs of life, has long since lost the habit of extravagance, even though he now receives a salary of tens of thousands of dollars a week.

Even old Chuck would tell him on the phone, boy, it's time for you to buy a car of your own, and if you go to the training ground with Roger's car, others will treat this agent as a vampire.

A third-rate player can also go home with millions of dollars belonging to him after ten years in the NBA, but they often become heavily in debt after only a few years. The fate of a guy with a nearly smooth business mind, so old Chuck told Lin Yi to learn to identify business contracts by himself, not for preventing anything, but for his own future.

"You must learn how to keep your wealth from disappearing, because you are not a person who can play without restrictions, and you will eventually grow old one day." Old Chuck's advice Lin Yi remembered very firmly.

Whether it's for his own future or for his family, Lin Yi has started to learn how to integrate into this commercialized NBA. He has to face too many commercial contracts and commercial sponsorships, which he has to learn to handle by himself.

In addition to the salary paid by the team, the pile of endorsement contracts on hand may be his biggest source of income. For a popular fried chicken like him who has already started to achieve results in the early stage, he has never had to worry about no one. to wrap.

Nike, Adidas, Reebok, these well-known brands have thrown attractive contracts at him to solicit, no one wants to let go of such a potential stock, not to mention his recent strong performance with the Heat has attracted many people's attention to the value it entails.

He has one more value that can be developed than the stars who write about the United States, that is, the purchasing power of the Chinese in the United States. This is a potential business opportunity that no company wants to let go.

So Rogge has never worried about Lin Yi's commercial value. As long as he can reach the mid-to-upper level, he can use all available resources to amplify his economic benefits. It exceeded his expectations.

This place in the NBA is a realistic and frightening world, but it has one advantage, that is, it can maximize a person's value. As long as you have a little residual value, it will squeeze it out for you until you are oily. It is completely useless until the lights are exhausted.

While Lin Yi and Roger were still scratching their heads considering which contracts to choose as the main signing objects, outside the Arizona State Boys’ School, in front of Charlie, the guard in the confinement room who was about to drive away, stood a well-dressed man. Gentlemen.

Charlie was taken aback by his well-known attire and friendly expression. Who is this big man?
"Hey, it's Charlie, right? I have a few questions that I need to consult with you. Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time, and I'll pay for it." The gentle guy's words made Charlie tempted, after all No one will have trouble with colorful dollars.

The conversation was short, just an hour, but Charlie left happily with the $200 that was already his.

"I just want the information of a former prisoner. If I want a few more, I may not have to worry about buying a new car. Lin Yi? I seem to have heard this name somewhere, but it has nothing to do with me." ’” Charlie didn’t know what the hell the guy was asking about these things, but he was more than happy to have them come to him often.

A newspaper in the back seat of Charlie's car was publishing the news that the Heat had won the Raptors the day before yesterday, but unfortunately, Charlie only cared about the news of the Major League Baseball, basketball was unfamiliar to him.

That gentle guy covered in famous brands looked at the information in his hand with satisfaction. This is what he wants. As for how useful they can be, it depends on who is using them. However, the smile on the corner of his mouth A little cruel taste.
