The next morning, before Lin Yu boarded the plane back to Washington, he received the punishment for the fight last night.
Ben was suspended for 17 games!
Lin Yu was so angry that he almost fainted, cursing Stern in his heart for being shameless.
This suspension is too severe. The last time he was suspended on the scale of the Knicks, Ben was only suspended for 10 games. This time, the nature is far less serious than the Knicks. Ben was suspended for 17 games!
Daba was only suspended for two games!
This made Lin Yu even more aware of Stern's shamelessness. He could use his big toe to guess the reason why Ben was suspended for so many games.
It was simply that Stern wanted Ben to be a regular starter and wanted to send more videos to China TV, so he simply kept Ben off the court for a month.
Webber was suspended for five games, and Rose was suspended for five games.
Kobe's suspension was not many, only two games. I wonder if Stern sympathized with him for being beaten so badly. He also said that Stern felt that Kobe also had some use value.
For the Philadelphia 76ers, Coleman was suspended for seven games, Witherspoon was suspended for 11 games, and Stackhouse and Iverson were both suspended for three games.
Coleman became the biggest unlucky guy. In fact, he only choked Ben. Before he could make the next move, he was beaten by Webber and Rose.
Now he has been suspended for another seven games, which is a huge loss.
Lin Yu had noticed the unnatural expression on Ben's face. He was a little confused as to why there was such a big difference in the number of banned games between himself and Daba.
After returning to Washington, Lin Yu asked Unseld to call Paulin over. Peja's matter must be resolved as soon as possible, especially since Tracy McGrady's return date has not yet been determined, and he still doesn't know when he will return to the game. Peja, a small forward, more important.
"What? A million buyout fee?"
"Are you sure it's US dollars? Not Greek Demarak?!"
Old Pauline was quite dissatisfied with the one million buyout fee. In his opinion, a guy who was not even a lottery pick from Europe, why should he have such a high buyout fee?
Demarak is the currency of Greece. After the emergence of the euro in 2002, demarak withdrew from the stage of history. Calculated at the current exchange rate, one million demarak is equivalent to more than 30,000 US dollars...
"Mr. Pauline, you have to know that the Peja we bought will be the top forward and defender in NBA history."
"Don't say one million, even ten million is definitely worth it."
"Besides, the alliance can subsidize 300,000 yuan, and you only need to pay 700,000 yuan."
Lin Yu frowned and said, in fact, it's not that Lin Yu can't afford the $700,000. If he were the team's majority shareholder, he would definitely take it out without blinking an eye.
However, he is only a minority shareholder of the Wizards, and he does not enjoy dividends, so why should he pay this money.
His money didn't come from the strong wind. Well, it did come from the strong wind, but who would use 700,000 yuan to waste it?
"Lin, I can't afford this money. Our current lineup is perfect enough, and we don't need a European kid at all."
"Can he shoot? Can he shoot better than Legler?"
Old Paulin didn't buy it at all. It seemed like he had nothing to spend on the $700,000.
Lin Yu frowned, "Abi, you can get this money whether you pay it out or not."
"If you don't come out, I will hold a press conference and tell all the fans in Washington that you are not even willing to spend $700,000 for the team."
"We have just experienced a large-scale suspension, especially the third position is unavailable, and we urgently need Peja to come to the rescue."
"If you don't contribute money, the team's losing streak will be blamed on you. Then the fans collectively boycott you and don't buy tickets or enter the stadium. Do you think the loss will be more than 700,000?"
Lin Yu originally wanted to save some face for old Paulin in front of Unseld, calling him Mr. Paulin, but it turned out that this old guy was out of luck and refused to pay for anything, so Lin Yu could still tolerate him. He directly called Abi, and deliberately blurred the word Abi into two...
Unseld's eyes almost burst out from the side. What did he see? Is Lin Yu threatening the team owner?
Soon, he remembered again. It seemed that Lin Yu was also the owner of the team. 30% of the equity was already a lot.
So this is a fight between the big boss and the second boss? Unseld simply looked at it with relish.
"Damn it, you are also a shareholder of the team. Don't you have no losses?" Old Paulin was furious and yelled.
Lin Yu laughed, "I have a gross loss. I don't want a penny from the team's dividends. Even if you make money, you won't get any from my pocket."
"What about the losses? You promised to bear 30% of the losses!" Paulin continued to yell angrily.
Lin Yu chuckled, "Do you think we will lose money this year? Which team that wins the championship will lose money?"
Old Paulin's old head has started to work rapidly, calculating how much money he will lose if he is boycotted by the fans.
The Wizards' games are now sold out, and the gross ticket revenue for a game is almost one million US dollars.
If Lin Yu really instigates fans to boycott the stadium, attendance may only be 50%, and that game will cost half a million US dollars.
If you boycott two games in a row, you will lose one million.
Paulin's face turned green and he wanted to kill Lin Yu. The young guy in front of him had indeed brought amazing records and profits to the Wizards, but it made Paulin feel like he was making money on his knees and could be beaten at any time. Lin Yu was sure. The key was that he had nothing to do with Lin Yu.
"Damn it, you have the final say!"
"Seven hundred thousand dollars, not a penny more."
After that, Paulin slammed the door angrily and left. After Unseld heard Paulin walking away, he put his arm around Lin Yu's shoulders.
"You kid, you are so cruel!"
"He is ruthless and smart. If it were me, I would never think of threatening Pauline with the fans."
"But if you do this, how can you work with Paulin in the future?"
Unseld sighed and said that although he looked down on Pat Riley, he always wanted to train Lin Yu into a handsome and elegant man like Riley.
Now it seems that Lin Yu is going further and further on the road of brutality and violence. Where there is Riley's shadow, Daley is almost the same.
Daly is, of course, Chuck Daly, the godfather of the Pistons' Bad Boys.
"Working together? What are we doing together? When I have enough money, I will also take over the 20% equity of the small shareholders. I will also be the major shareholder by then. Why should he challenge me?"
"Even if I can't receive the 20% of the equity, in a few years I will lead the Wizards to win a few championships, and the team's market value will skyrocket. Can't I sell the equity and become the boss of a small team?"
Lin Yu laughed and said that he did not regard Unseld as an outsider at all.
Unseld was completely frightened by Lin Yu's grand plan. He wondered whether Lin Yu in front of him had made a deal with the devil Satan.
Are you kidding me? A little scout who lived in a basement six months ago is now planning to acquire an NBA team?
The key is that when these words came out of Lin Yu's mouth, Unseld had no doubts.
…
At noon, Lin Yu asked the Finance Department to remit one million US dollars to Greece. Within half an hour, Lao Qiao called.
This time he went directly with the NBA's first-round pick standard contract. After Peja signed the termination contract, he immediately signed a contract with the Wizards.
By evening, Peja had already boarded a plane to Washington, and Lin Yu gave Lao Qiao a holiday and asked him to stay in Greece for a few more days.
At least he has to wait until the swelling on Kobe's face subsides before he comes back. If he comes back now, it will be so distressing to see his son's face swollen like a pig's head.
At eight o'clock that night, Lin Yu's aura was refreshed.
The Wizards will have four home games in the next week, and their opponents are not weak. If the halo is not strong, Lin Yu is already prepared for a four-game losing streak.
Daba and Kobe were able to come back after two games, but their teammates were a bit weak, and they needed a certain amount of luck to win.
"Passive Aura ①: "Javelin Throwing", the effect is to increase the shooting percentage of any outside player whose favorability exceeds 50 points, 0-3 feet has no increase, 3-10 feet has an increase of 2%, 10-16 feet has an increase of 4%, 16 -23 feet increase by 6%, 23-30 feet increase by 8%!”
"Passive aura ②: "Iron Branch", the effect is to increase all attributes of your own point guard player by 1 point."
"Passive Halo ③: "Inspiration", the effect is to increase the speed attribute of players on the field by 5 points every 1 minute, lasting for 5 seconds."
When Lin Yu saw the skill of javelin throwing, he immediately became interested.
One foot is about 30.5 centimeters. Generally, an offense from 0 to 3 feet is called a basket offense, which is roughly within one meter of the basket.
3-10 feet is a close mid-range shot, 10-16 is a mid-range mid-range shot, and 16-23 is a long-range mid-range shot.
Because the three-point line is 23 feet from the basket, anything over 23 is a three-pointer.
The effective radiation range of "Javelin Throw" actually reaches 30 feet, which is almost two steps away from the three-point line.
Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh that Peja is so lucky. He will definitely be able to reach Washington before tomorrow night. If he plays by then, he will have the blessing of the "Peak" halo on the one hand and the blessing of "Javelin Throwing" on the other. His first show data is expected to It’s hard not to be good.
…
When 10 o'clock came in the evening, Lin Yu was sitting in the living room watching VCD videos with Bus, showing movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"Brother Lin, we have been suspended during this period. Is the team short of manpower?"
Daba asked suddenly.
Lin Yu shook his head, "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements, and you and Kobe have only been suspended for two games and will be back soon, so don't worry."
Daba nodded in disappointment, and Lin Yu noticed his expression.
"What's the matter, Daba? If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Daba scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Ma Jian, Brother Lin must also know me. Didn't you find my contact information from him at that time?"
"He has been calling me in the past few days, saying that he knew that we were banned on a large scale, so he wanted to come and play with our team."
"How can I agree to this kind of thing, and he asked me to beg for mercy for him."
Daba said with a wry smile.
Lin Yu couldn't laugh or cry. This guy is really devoted to the NBA and has never stopped thinking about playing in the NBA.
But the Wizards really have no shortage of people. Even if they were, Ma Jian wouldn't be of any use.
When Lin Yu said Ma Jian was not good, he really didn't mean to belittle him, because there is a negative example in active service.
Aunt Larry Johnson!
He is also a short power forward with a height of 2 meters. He once averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game with the Hornets.
Even if Ma Jian is really as powerful as he says, there is no way he can compare to Auntie, right?
With the development of the times, Big Mom is now almost eliminated in the NBA. He can only switch to the third position. With the development of three-point ability, he is currently averaging 10 points per game.
When I met Mashburn before, I was completely beaten.
How can Ma Jian's athletic ability be compared with other aunts? Strength, speed, and jumping are definitely not up to the aunt's level, so what is the use of signing Ma Jian? It's really of no use at all.
The reason why the Knicks still want Big Mom and give her a good contract is entirely because Big Mom is famous and can bring attention.
How could Ma Jian be famous? He is about to be expelled from the Chinese basketball circle.
He definitely can't play the fourth position, and he doesn't have the athletic talent and skills to play the three position.
"Daba, we actually have no shortage of insiders. Even if Ben and Webber are suspended, as well as you and Xiao Ao, don't underestimate Xiao Ao. In another month, his strength may skyrocket."
"As for Ma Jian, what do you think? Do you want him to come?"
"Even if he comes, the most I can do is give him a non-guaranteed basic salary contract, and he may be fired by Pauline at any time."
Lin Yu decided to listen to Daba's opinion. It didn't matter whether he signed Ma Jian or not.
"How about signing it? At least I can have someone to talk to in the locker room."
"And Ma Jian's English is very good. After all, he has played here for several years. He can still translate for me when he has nothing to do." Daba said slowly.
Lin Yu thought about it. It was indeed too lonely to be alone on the bus.
It is impossible for him to keep the bus with him all the time. When he is alone, he has no way to communicate with his teammates.
Signing Ma Jian now is like finding a translator and a playmate for Daba, which is not impossible.
In addition, in Ma Jian's situation, it is definitely very easy to increase his favorability. It would also be good to get some charm points.
"Then you contact him and ask him to report as soon as possible. The contract is a non-guaranteed base salary of 150,000 US dollars."
"Whether this contract can last until the end of the season depends on his own destiny."
Lin Yu definitely has no plan to reuse Ma Jian, because it really doesn't make any sense. If he can play in the World Series, then Lin Yu wouldn't mind training him, but he doesn't have the qualifications.
What's the point of training? Lin Yu has a lot of players who are better than him and younger than him.
