Chapter 409 The offseason begins, a new journey!
The days after winning the championship are destined to be busy and comfortable.
After Lin Long returned to Boston from Los Angeles alone, what awaited him was an almost endless number of banquets and receptions.
There was a celebration feast for the team owner, a thank-you feast for the Boston government, and a thank-you feast for the team spontaneously prepared by the fans.
Of course, the most important thing is to count the party of those teammates who have no name and just want to have fun and relax.
First, Dale Curry, the shooter who has been in the military for more than ten years, finally decided to retire after two consecutive championships. However, his retirement banquet was held for three days.
Then there is the late night tour organized by Barkley, the weather vane of Boston nightclub.
The guy led the team through several new clubs and clubs that opened in Boston throughout the playoffs.
Then I went back to review those well-known old stores.
Lin Long has to sigh, that is, there are no shop-exploring experts and shop-exploring bloggers in this era.
If anything, Barkley could become a top influencer just by exploring entertainment venues!
Then there is the celebratory feast of Billups, Rashid, Sprewell and others.
There are also banquets hosted by Boston celebrities such as Matt Damon and Uma Thurman when they returned here.
Waiting for all this hustle and bustle to end, half a month has passed since the end of the season, and the time has come to mid-July.
Of course, in the past 20 days, Lin Long did not just drink and go around, but also did a lot of meaningful things.
For example, the Cannes Film Festival was officially opened, and the crackling drummer won a big victory.
Lin Long won the best director and best screenplay in one fell swoop, as well as the most important, 567 and most important awards——
Palme d'Or!
Lin Long, less than 21 years old, almost swept Cannes with a burst drummer!
It has become a miracle in the history of Cannes, breaking all kinds of records about 'young'.
Not to mention next year's Oscars, Lin Long is still one of the strongest and hottest contenders!
His legend has only just begun.
But because the date of the Cannes Film Festival happened to conflict with the finals.
Lin Long didn't worry about this at all, and left everything to his mother Su Wan.
In addition to winning at Cannes, Lin Long had a very good chat with the Hollywood star at a cocktail party organized by Matt Damon.
In addition to being a popular actor, Matt Damon is also a very good screenwriter.
He and his friend Ben also won the Best Screenplay Award together.
Therefore, such a sweet pastry naturally has his way and contacts in Hollywood. When Lin Long revealed to him a little bit that he hoped to have a chat with the senior management of Warner, the bold Matt Damon immediately patted his chest and said No problem, help anytime.
Lin Long needs help from Matt Damon, of course, is a bet with Nicholson.
He has already thought about what movie to make, but unlike Burst Drummer, the financial and material resources, cast and copyright issues required by this movie need to be discussed in detail before it is possible to continue.
Although Theron can help with this kind of thing, Lin Long doesn't really want to use the power of his own woman.
So I found a professional like Matt Damon, and the two hit it off!
Just wait for Lin Long to leave for Los Angeles and talk about the details.
In addition to Matt Damon, Lin Long's other gain was a handsome white young man with broken hair who stood beside him in many receptions and banquets.
If there are NBA fans in 20 years who see this man, they will exclaim his name.
'Demon Knife' Manu Ginobili!
This was the Celtics' 29th pick in the first round this year, and again, it was suggested by Lin Long.
Lin Long claimed to have watched him play in the Argentine and Italian leagues and said he was a very talented and talented guy who could change the league.
Because Lin Long's previous recommendation has never gone wrong.
Even if Auerbach had never heard of this name, or even did not know whether Ginobili was playing a defender or a center, he still waved his hand without hesitation and directly brought Ginobili under his command.
Auerbach's choice made Popovich and Buford, who did not select Manu Ginobili in the first round and waited to be missed in the second round, completely dumbfounded.
They never dreamed that the Celtics also observed international rookies.
Also went to the same places as the basketball desert to investigate and took away the guys they wanted.
Auerbach naturally did not know that the two were so angry that they cursed.
Before he chose Ginobili, he knew that Ginobili still had a 2-year contract with the Italian team. After communicating with Ginobili, the outspoken Auerbach directly sent someone to fly to Italy to meet with the local club. Talk about a buyout.
Historically, because the Spurs were reluctant to buy Manu Ginobili for about 1 million euros to join the team directly, but let him stay in Italy.
Although he stayed in Italy for two years, Ginobili (dbdd) completely dominated European basketball, not only became the MVP for two consecutive years and led his team to win the league championship, but also won three European top championship honors in 2001. , to become the undisputed king of Europe.
After that, Ginobili's contract just expired, which was long overdue, making the NBA two full years later to appreciate the "demon sword" style.
But because of the immaturity of the European blue field in the 1990s and the huge gap with the NBA, Ginobili actually missed his golden period of 21-24 years old. No one knows that a person who can accept at the most critical moment Can Manu Ginobili, who trains and competes at the NBA level, get better.
But now, because of Lin Long's recommendation, Auerbach directly calls the shots, and the club pays for Ginobili!
As long as he's willing to come, as long as he can contribute, Auerbach won't care about money!
After quickly getting Ginobili's buyout, Auerbach's deputy flew back from Europe with Ginobili, and the Celtics not only signed Ginobili for three year rookie contract.
He also helped Ginobili find a translator, a house, and let him train with Lin Long.
Ginobili, who is also a ball fanatic and admires Lin Long, is naturally overjoyed.
So, after arriving in Boston, Ginobili spent almost all day practicing with Lin Long.
Getting along with Lin Long and the team's attention made Ginobili integrated into the city of Boston very quickly.
The only thing Ginobili didn't understand was the conversation between the two before Lin Long was about to fly to Los Angeles.
"Lin, do you have any advice for me, what should I pay attention to during your absence?"
Ginobili asked this question with great anticipation. Since he came to the NBA, he wanted to show his own style here!
Unexpectedly, Lin Long just looked at Manu Ginobili, who still has short and broken hair, and said earnestly: "Leave long hair, you are suitable for long hair, and young people, you should cherish the hair still in your head. The years in the past, or you will regret it later.
After listening to Lin Long's words, and watching Lin Long's back in the waiting area, Ginobili scratched his head incomprehensibly.
Totally don't understand what this means.
"Forget it, maybe it's the unique humor of Chinese people.""
Ginobili didn't see the more than ten hairs that left the top of his head with his palm.
"You are on time, if you delay the plane because of nonsense, I will definitely beat you up.
As soon as Lin Long walked into the VIP area, a beautiful woman waved at Lin Long. It was Lin Long's mother and his manager, Su Wan.
"If you have a conscience, remember that I am your agent, not me. If you don't tell me what you are going to do, you will be sold by those old Hollywood abacuses at your level, and you will have to stand for them. Count the money!
"I said mom, who doesn't remember who?" Lin Long sat helplessly on the sofa. He was a mom who was almost invisible for the whole season.
Even Auerbach complained to himself that there was a partner who wanted to work with Lin Long, but couldn't get in touch with her.
The ghost knows whether she went back to China and went to the two-person world with her father or went to the world to run around and play.
