Chapter 1097 Lin Yi effect, far-reaching impact
It has been a whole week since Lin Yi retired.
However, perhaps because the news about Lin Yi’s retirement was too exciting, fans suddenly felt bored throughout the summer.
Lin Yi, who has returned to New York, has officially started his daily life as a dad, but there are still many Lin Mi who refuse to give up on the Internet. She is looking forward to Lin Yi's sudden comeback one day.
Speaking of which, after Lin Yi retired, the NBA officially launched videos of Lin Yi's top ten goals, top fifty goals and top 100 goals in his career. Espn and TNT also launched public opinion votes about Lin Yi's historical status online.
For a time, many Lin Heihe who cheered for Lin Yi's retirement a week ago found that Lin Yi was really a guy. Although his brother is no longer in the world, there is still a legend about his brother.
According to incomplete statistics, in the current public opinion of fans, fans who believe that Lin Yi and Jordan are equally great have shown a 50-5-5 trend. After all, even if the records left by the old hooligan are difficult to surpass, is Lin Yi better surpassing the records left by the left?
What is 100+ in a single game, 75 wins in a season, 30+ triple doubles in a season
Especially at the Rio Olympics, the American men's basketball team, composed of an All-Star lineup, was beaten by the Chinese men's basketball team.
NBA Xiao Hua, who is busy preparing for the new season, suddenly realized that if Lin Yi did not retire this time, he would really have no way to suppress the Knicks.
But now everything is not important.
At least next season, Xiao Hua won’t have to worry about his head.
emmmmm, Lin Yi’s pastoral daily life after retirement will be noted.
Because Lin Yi retired, the sun still rose as usual every day.
After Lin Yi retired, in addition to New York fans and Lin Mi, the Knicks boss James Dolan was definitely the one who was most uncomfortable.
Because at present, the Knicks' market value is declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Of course, for Dolan, who is not short of money, it is nothing to lose a little money, but in the prediction of ESPN's new season strength rankings, the Knicks have become the one who is not favored.
"Lin, do you know that you have brought about an effect." On that day, Dolan, who came to observe Lin Yi's retirement life, said to Lin Yi with emotion.
Lin Yi smiled awkwardly, of course he knew what Dolan was talking about.
In the 1990s, due to the existence of old hooligans, something called the "Jordan effect" appeared in the NBA. Now, there is no doubt that the "Lin Yi effect" is affecting the NBA.
Not long ago, the American Fortune Magazine published an article titled "Lin Yi Effect". In this article, Fortune Magazine deeply analyzed Lin Yi's influence on basketball, New York, the United States, and the world from the perspectives of economy, politics, culture, media, etc.
According to Fortune Magazine, after Lin Yi retires, NBA will lose at least 30% of its revenue next season.
"They calculated it wrong because in addition to money, there are many invisible and intangible things, such as human hearts." Dolan was helpless. For Dolan, he really hoped that Lin Yi would tell him that Lin Yi did not like Xiao Hua, so he retired. In this way, Dolan was at least willing to fight the alliance for Lin Yi.
But now
Could it be that in the future "Avengers", Thanos will go to retire and farm after snapping his fingers?
"Don't worry, boss, I'll be back, and don't worry too much. To be honest, maybe I can win the championship even if this Knicks is gone." Lin Yi joked.
Dolan shook his head, he just thought Lin Yi was comforting himself. After all, in the past few years, it was James Dolan himself who was most affected by the Lin Yi effect.
In Dolan's opinion, without Lin Yi's Knicks, there would be nothing.
"Chris has already talked to me." When leaving Lin Yi's house, Dolan looked at Lin Yi and said.
"Oh? What did he say?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
"He said that if that guy really slipped away, he was going to play somewhere else, of course, he told me that if he could, he hoped he could help the Knicks get some useful draft picks or players," Dolan said to Lin Yi.
"Boss, you shouldn't have told me about this, because I've retired." Lin Yi said to Dolan.
"Is that so? But in my heart, it seems like you've been there all the time." Dolan smiled slightly, "Lin, are you really willing to see the Knicks you formed with your own hands falling apart?"
"My idol Kobe Bryant once said that friends come and go, and only the flag of the championship flutters in the wind." When he said this, Lin Yi's eyes suddenly flashed.
Obviously, Dolan noticed Lin Yi's eyes, and there was no need to say much about the communication between smart people. "I heard that you handed over a list to Javier before retiring?" Dolan asked.
"Yes." Lin Yi nodded.
"Don't worry, I will guard this team for you." After suppressing for almost a week, Dolan suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"When you are not here." After saying this, Dolan left Lin Yi's villa.
"Alas gtmd spicy chicken system, why does it have an enhanced version of the celebrity Jabbar in the second level? And why does Jabbar shoot three-pointers? wdnmd!" Lin Yi suddenly cursed and said shortly after Dolan left.
...
Tatm once said that Lin Yi's word-by-word is enough to interfere with the progress of the alliance. Now, let alone he retired?
For a moment, just like Jordan retired, other teams in the league seemed to see the dawn of winning the championship again.
At first, it was just an ordinary arms race.
However, as the competition in the free agent market becomes increasingly fierce and the salary cap of the NBA has soared in the new season, an era called "The Era of Universe" has quietly formed.
On August 28, the Dallas Mavericks officially announced that the team had signed former Thunder star, the American Future Fighter, and the Iron Mantis Kevin Durant from the free agent market.
In order to sign Durant from the free agent market, the legendary Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki resolutely chose to cut his salary. After Durant joined, the German tank said excitedly: "Dallas has finally welcomed its owner."
Obviously, the veteran driver deliberately lowered his figure this time mainly because the veteran driver is really eager for the championship.
Durant's joining made the Mavericks' prospects suddenly become clear. With Irving and Cousins, the team has formed its own f4.
There are many people who are optimistic about Mavericks. Although Durant seems even more tragic in Lin Yi's life, in fact, only Lin Yi knows that Du Xiaoshuai is very lucky in this life.
Because after successfully avoiding the black spot of turning enemies into friends, Durant will at most be criticized for being "beaten by Lin Yi".
But in this era, who has never been beaten by Lin Yi?
You know, you have never been beaten by Lin Yi now, and you are embarrassed to say that you are a super giant even when you go out.
Because of Lin Yi's retirement, although the Knicks are still a strong team in people's eyes, they are no longer the championship sequence in the minds of most people.
Originally, Du Xiaoshuai felt that joining the Mavericks would be a big news, but unexpectedly, except for Westbrook angrily squirting himself on Twitter, even the Russian City fans did not respond.
There is no way, Durant knows that all this is Lin Yi's fault
So Du Xiaoshuai secretly swore that he would prove himself next season!
In addition to the Mavericks' introduction of Durant, the Lakers, who have 23+24, are also highly anticipated targets. After all, next season is also the last season of Kobe's career, and many Kobe is hoping that chatting can create miracles in their hearts.
However, after letting Gasol go, the Lakers didn't make any noise.
James was almost anxious and urged Kupchek to talk to someone every day, but Kupchek was in trouble. Who should I talk to?
Originally, Kupchek and Buss Jr. thought that after introducing James, other superstars would come to Los Angeles one by one, but the idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.
In the past two seasons, there are only one or two big fish in the free market, like Durant. Do you think he will come to take over Kobe's class and willingly be a younger brother to James?
Lin Yi's previous life, James could also tell these young people that he could teach them how to reach the finals, but in this life, my emperor has never won a championship once, and he has only entered the finals twice. It's convincing.
To be honest, if we really talk about our current popularity, McGrady during the Rockets era was more popular than our current popularity.
So, although Lin Yi retired and everyone was anxious, Kupchek still told James, I'm afraid you have to wait a little longer
After Lin Yi retired, the current NBA pattern is very clear.
Because as time goes by September, the Cleveland Cavaliers also completed a transaction
