Chapter 294. 295. Born for Money
There are still 24 days before Christmas, and the league has already started rendering five Christmas games.

Among them, the Lakers VS Warriors and Thunder VS Rockets are the most eye-catching. After entering December, the league began to promote vigorously.

The other three games are the Bucks with the best record in the league against the Knicks away.

The New York team's ability to qualify for the Christmas game is entirely due to its geographical location. Even the Raptors, the king of the North, cannot work overtime that day.

The 76ers VS Celtics is the second focus match in the Eastern Conference, a duel between the three top players, and the two emperors flew to Boston to challenge the "Youth Gang" led by Irving.

The last game was the Portland Trail Blazers VS Utah Jazz. Lillard once told the media that their team had been ignored because of the small ball market, but it was arranged this year.

On the one hand, the Blazers ranked third in the Western Conference last season, second only to the Rockets and Warriors.The Jazz were fifth in the Western Conference last year, defeating Westbrook George's Thunder 4-2 in the first round.

Such two teams appearing in the Christmas game seem to have a unique charm, which is different from the regular strong teams.

As the only league in the four major leagues in North America that uses Christmas games as a fixed schedule, there will always be NBA players who cannot escape the fate of "overtime" during the holidays.

In the league, whoever wins James gets a ticket to the Christmas game. Lao Zhan has participated in the game on that day for 12 consecutive years. Nian is completely immersed in the fateful duel with the Warriors.

Lin Feng was going to play the Christmas game in the first season. Fortunately, Ursula's mother gave birth to the little girl two days in advance, otherwise he would have been in trouble that day.

Despite avoiding Christmas, Lam still had a match on Ursula's 16th birthday.Fortunately, the game was held at Staples against the Grizzlies.

If it's an away game, I'm afraid Lin Feng will graduate 6 fouls ahead of schedule and fly back to Los Angeles by plane.

The game on the 23rd started at 07:30 in the evening, and after the game was up to ten o'clock, he still had enough time to rush to the party.

The team management means that the Christmas game is very important to the team's image, and the entire coaching staff will start to study the Warriors' tactics from now on.

The point is, their opponent is the five-star Warriors. Except for the Los Angeles people themselves, no fan thinks the Lakers will win, even at the Staples Center.

Lin Feng remembers that the Lakers won the Christmas game in the previous life, but this game cost the team dearly, they lost James!
When Lao Zhan returned from injury, the team's performance had plummeted, and he was squeezed out of the playoffs and never returned.

That is, that game became a turning point, and Lin Feng didn't know what would happen in this world.

Even if Cousins ​​is injured in the Warriors, they still have four All-Stars including Curry, Clay, Durant, and Green. The current Warriors quickly got on the right track after experiencing the chaos at the beginning of the season, and now they have returned to the No. [-] throne in the Western Conference.

Lin Feng wanted to do something in that game. If he played well against the Warriors, the entire league would recognize him. If he could lock up one of Curry and Klay, then the Rookie of the Year would be gone.

Of course, before that, the Lakers still have [-] games to play. The strongest opponent is the home and away game against the Spurs. The other opponents are all outside the eighth place in the division.

After Christmas, strong teams such as the 76ers, Celtics, and Thunder will come to their door one after another. They will play two games against the Warriors within a month, as well as teams like the Jazz that make Lin Feng ashamed at home.

In short, before Christmas is the honeymoon period for the generals of the Lakers. If they seize the opportunity, they may be able to enter the top three in the Western Conference, and maybe they will drive the Warriors off the throne.

After cleaning up the Lone Ranger at home, Phoenix's tanks drove into Los Angeles the next day.

Book Ayton is aggressive, and no one can stop them from reuniting with their little brother Zion next year.

Lin Feng scored 52 points in a single game, while Sun hero Devin Booker scored 70 points in a single game, so Phoenix fans have always used this data to think that Booker is better than Lin Feng, and so far Booker averaged 25.8 points per game. Top ten in the league.

On the scoring list, next to Booker are Curry and Leonard, two superstars, which makes Phoenix people proud.

I completely forgot how intense the game was when Lin Feng scored 52 points. Every point was as precious as gold, and at the end he made the game-winning shot in front of Lillard.

Booker entered "Mr. 70" on a night the Suns were off to a 3-22 start, and teammates realized they had to hand the basketball to Booker and let him score.

Of course, this is just a battle of words between the fans of both sides. Lin Feng and Booker still respect each other.

Lin Feng once imagined that if he got 40 shots in a game and had the bonus of "prediction for three seconds", he might be able to score 100 points.

But just thinking about it, it is impossible for the team to give him so many shots, and they have to meet a scumbag defensive team. Maybe this can be achieved in the CBA, but he should have little chance to return to China to play.

The matter of "naturalization" has reached a deadlock, and the progress is far from smooth as Lin Feng imagined.

Lao Pa had received a call from a third party entrusted by the Basketball Association. Since this matter involved two countries, the Basketball Association did not directly take action, but continued to pass on the message through Anta.

It probably means that this matter should be yellow, because Chairman Yao is extremely cautious about the matter of naturalizing unrelated players, and it will be difficult to clean up the situation once it starts.

After much deliberation, it makes sense, Lin Feng's enthusiasm was poured with cold water, his previous thinking was too simple, after all, this is not a movie or a novel, but the real world.

Old Pa told him not to be discouraged, he didn't say anything to death, and there was still room for maneuver.

The road to naturalization has encountered obstacles, and Lin Feng's endorsement contract can be described as a smooth road. The 5-year 3500 million contract has been negotiated. Lao Pai's representative Lin Feng met with Anta Fang's senior management to discuss the specific details.

Among them is the "Best Rookie" bonus of 1000 million U.S. dollars, and the "Finals Appearance Bonus" proposed by Lao Pa in accordance with Lin Feng's request.

As long as Lin Feng can stand on the stage of the finals this season and average more than 25 per game, Anta will reward him with an additional 2000 million.

This is not a small sum, and even Clay did not receive such treatment.

Dare to give tens of millions of bonuses, Anta Fang is also after careful consideration.

From the 60th pick to the best rookie, this will definitely be a great miracle in the history of the league, so the commercial value behind sending 1000 million to such a player full of potential must far exceed this figure.

The second rule is very harsh, because being able to average 25 points per game in the finals means that it is very close to the FMVP.Last year's FMVP Kevin Durant averaged 28.8 points in four games.

If the Lakers return to the finals stage this year, James averaged 34 points in the finals last season. If Lin Feng activates the reward clause, then the two will add up to 60 points!
With a heavy reward, there must be a brave man, but Lin Feng believes that he is both wise and brave.

If everything goes his way, then Lin Feng will be able to get nearly 4000 million pre-tax banknotes this year, which will make him a multi-millionaire.

It was exciting just thinking about it. Lin Feng, who was still lying on the bed, got up and went to the training hall.
