Chapter 1100 Lin Yi effect, far-reaching influence (first update)
It has been a whole week since Lin Yi retired.
However, perhaps because the news of Lin Yi's retirement was too explosive, the fans felt bored throughout the summer.
Lin Yi, who has already returned to New York, has officially started his daddy routine, but on the Internet, there are still many Lin Mi who are unwilling to give up, hoping that Lin Yi will suddenly announce his comeback one day.
In other words, after Lin Yi retired, the NBA officially released videos of Lin Yi's top ten career goals, fifty best goals and top hundred goals. ESPN and TNT also launched public opinion polls on Lin Yi's historical status on the Internet.
For a while, many Lin Hei who cheered for Lin Yi's retirement a week ago found out that Lin Yi is really a guy. Although his brother is no longer in the arena, there are still legends about him in the arena.
According to incomplete statistics, in the public opinion of fans, the fans who think that Lin Yi and Jordan are equally great have shown a [-]-[-] split. After all, even if the record left by the old hooligan is difficult to be surpassed, is it better for Lin Yi to surpass the record left by Lin Yi?
100+ in a single game, 75+ wins in a season, 30+ triple-doubles in a season
Especially in the Rio Olympics, the American men's basketball team with an all-star lineup was overthrown by the Chinese men's basketball team
NBA Xiao Hua, who was busy preparing for the new season, suddenly realized that if Lin Yi didn't retire this time, it seemed that he really had no way to suppress the Knicks.
But nothing matters now.
At least next season, Silver won't have to worry about it anymore.
Emmmmm, Lin Yi's pastoral routine after retirement is not listed for the time being.
Because Lin Yi retired from the game, but the sun will still rise every day as usual.
After Lin Yi retired, apart from the New York fans and the majority of Lin Mi, the Knicks owner James Dolan was definitely the most uncomfortable one.
Because at present, the market value of the Knicks 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 small amount of money, but in ESPN's new season strength ranking prediction, the Knicks have also become the one who is not optimistic.
"Do you know Lin, you have already brought about an effect." On this 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 90s, because of the existence of old hooligans, something called the "Jordan effect" appeared in the NBA, and now, there is no doubt that the "Lin Yi effect" is affecting the NBA.
Not long ago, Fortune magazine in the United States published an article called "The 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, and media.
According to Fortune magazine estimates, after Lin Yi retires, the NBA will lose at least 30% of its revenue next season.
"They miscalculated because besides money, there are many invisible and intangible things, such as people's hearts." Dolan was very helpless. For Dolan, he really hoped that Lin Yi would tell him that Lin Yi didn't like Xiao Hua before retiring. In this way, Dolan would at least be willing to fight the alliance for Lin Yi.
But now
Could it be that in the future "Avengers", Thanos will also go to retire to farm after snapping his fingers?
"Don't worry, Boss, I'll be back, and don't worry too much. Seriously, maybe I can win the championship without the Knicks." Lin Yi joked.
Dolan shook his head. He only thought that 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 view, the Knicks without Lin Yi are 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, then he was going to play elsewhere. Of course, he told me that if possible, he hoped that he could help the Knicks get back some useful draft picks or players." Dolan said to Lin Yi.
"Boss, you shouldn't have told me about this, because I've already retired." Lin Yi said to Dolan.
"Really? But in my heart, it seems that you have always been there." Dolan smiled slightly, "Lin, do you really want to see the Knicks team you built with your own hands fall apart?"
"My idol Kobe Bryant once said that friends come and go, but the championship flag flutters in the wind." Lin Yi's eyes flickered suddenly when he said this.
Obviously, Dolan noticed Lin Yi's eyes, and there is no need to talk too much about the communication between smart people. "I heard that you handed over a list to Javier before retiring?" Dolan asked.
"Yeah." Lin Yi nodded.
"Don't worry, I will guard this team for you." After almost a week of depression, Dolan suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"While you're not around." After saying this, Dolan left Lin Yi's villa.
"Hey GTMD spicy chicken system, why is there an enhanced version of the famous Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the second level? And why does Kareem Kareem shoot three-pointers? WDNMD!" Not long after Dolan left, Lin Yi suddenly said cursing.
……
Tatum once said that Lin Yi's every word is enough to interfere with the progress of the league, so now, let alone his retirement?
For a while, just like Jordan retired that year, 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, with the increasingly fierce competition in the free agent market and the NBA's salary cap soaring in the new season, an era called "the era of cosmic grouping" has quietly formed.
On August 8, the Dallas Mavericks officially announced that the team has signed the former Thunder head star, American Future Warrior, Iron Mantis Man-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, and after Durant joined, the German chariot said excitedly: "Dallas, finally ushered in its owner."
Obviously, the old driver deliberately lowered his figure this time, mainly because the old driver was really, really eager for the championship.
The joining of Durant made the prospect of the Mavericks suddenly brighten up. With the addition of Irving and Cousins, this team has already formed its own F4.
There are not a few people who are optimistic about the Mavericks. In Lin Yi's life, although Durant looks even more tragic, in fact, only Lin Yi knows that Du Xiaoshuai is very lucky in this life.
Because after successfully avoiding the black spot of turning an enemy into a friend, Durant will at most bear the infamy of "being hanged and beaten by Lin Yi" in the future.
But tm, in this era, who hasn't been hanged and beaten by Lin Yi?
You know, you have never been beaten by Lin Yi, and you are ashamed to say that you are 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 in the championship sequence in most people's minds.
Originally, Du Xiaoshuai felt that joining the Mavericks would be big news, but unexpectedly, apart from Westbrook angrily spraying himself on Twitter, even the Oklahoma City fans did not respond.
There is no way, Durant knows, all of this is Lin Yi's fault.
So Du Xiaoshuai secretly vowed that he must prove himself next season!
In addition to the introduction of Durant by the Mavericks, the Lakers with 23+24 are also attracting attention. After all, next season will also be the last season of Kobe's career.
However, after letting go of Gasol, the Lakers have been quiet.
James was dying of anxiety, urging Kupchak to find someone to talk to every day, but Kupchak was suffering. TM, who to talk to?
Originally, both Kupchak and Bass thought that after the introduction of James, other superstars would come to Los Angeles one by one, but the idea is beautiful, but the reality is very 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 be willing to be James' younger brother?
In Lin Yi's previous life, James could 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, and he has only made it to the finals twice.
If you really want to talk about my emperor's current popularity, to be reasonable, McGrady's popularity during the Rockets period is higher than my emperor's now.
Therefore, although Lin Yi retired and everyone was anxious, Kupchak still told James, I'm afraid...you have to wait
After Lin Yi retired, the current NBA structure has become very clear.
Because as time entered September, the Cleveland Cavaliers also completed a deal.
