Chapter 107 Live broadcast begins, shocking speech
At six o'clock sharp, the nationwide live broadcast officially began.
On the TV, the picture changed and three figures appeared.
It was Barkley, Smith and Lin Yu.
There was also a gift box that appeared in the studio.
There was a hint of curiosity in Kobe's eyes.
"What's in this gift box?"
At this time, Smith's voice came from the TV.
"We are honored to have Olympic champion, NCAA Final Four MOP, and 2004 No. draft pick Lin Yu come to our studio today!"
Barkley then asked, "Lin, you brought a gift box today. Is it a gift for me?"
"It can be considered as such. If you want it after the show is recorded, I can give it to you."
When Barkley heard Lin Yu's answer, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Okay! Then we've settled!"
Smith then said, "Lin Yu, can we talk about the Olympics?"
Smith is not a fool, so it is impossible for him to get straight to the point at this time.
Otherwise, if Lin Xi said "Decision 2" in just two sentences, wouldn't Smith cry to death?
"Of course, during the Olympics..."
The fans in front of the TV saw Smith deliberately changing the subject and started directly greeting Smith's entire family.
"F**K! Can you please get straight to the point?"
"Routine! It's all routine! They were so slow when deciding on 1!"
"Smith, can you please stop asking? Barkley, hurry up and ask Lin Yu what he wants to decide on in 'Decision 2'. I don't want to hear anything else here."
"Shut up, Kenny Smith! I don't want to hear this nonsense!"
"..."
Boston.
The cardinal sat on the sofa, looking at Lin Yu talking to Smith, and felt a little emotional at this time.
"I really misjudged him at first. I thought Lin Yu might still need to improve his level, but judging from his performance in the Olympics, he is definitely a top star in the NBA."
"The Celtics' roster is only good enough for the playoffs, but with so many rookies in the roster, it's probably impossible for them to make the finals."
"But it's hard to say how Lin Yu will perform under NBA rules, if he can really perform like a superstar."
"Next season, I will make some arrangements and the Celtics will be able to build a strong team that can compete for the championship..."
New York, NBA headquarters.
Stern looked at Lin Yu on TV and asked Joke, "Joke, what do you think Lin Yu is going to decide this time?"
"President, I can't guess what 'decision' Lin Yu wants to make?"
The joke is, of course, that no one knows what decision Lin Yu wants to make.
Stern looked at Lin Yu on TV and frowned slightly.
He had a premonition.
He felt that after Lin Yu made "Decision 2", the entire alliance might experience another earthquake!
In the studio.
Barkley watched as the online audience rose to 1000 million.
His eyes are full of smiles!
You know, it’s only 15 minutes away from the broadcast!
And the number of online viewers is still increasing.
1100 million!
1200 million!
1300 million!
1400 million!
Within half an hour of the broadcast, the number of online viewers had risen to 1500 million!
At this time, the growth in the number of people began to slow down, but it was still growing steadily.
1600 million!
1700 million!
1800 million!
Seeing that the number of online viewers reached 1800 million, Smith's eyes were full of shock.
He knew that it was almost time, so he exchanged a glance with Barkley, who nodded before he got to the point.
Smith asked, "Lin, after asking about the Olympics, let's get down to business!" "I, Charles, and everyone watching on TV know that you have to make 'Decision 2', and this 'Decision' can affect your entire life."
"So what exactly is this 'decision'?"
When the fans in front of the TV heard Smith get to the point, they all showed surprise.
"It's finally here! I finally waited for Lin Yu's 'Decision 2'!"
"What on earth is this decision that can affect Lin Yu's life!?"
"Decision 1 is to go to the Celtics, and 'decision 2' won't be to stay with the Celtics forever, right?"
"..."
At this time, Lin Yu's voice also came from the TV.
"Kenny, before I make a decision, let me show you two things."
As Lin Yu spoke, he took out four contracts from his arms.
Barkley and Smith took the contract and began to look through it.
Lin Yu immediately began to explain.
"What you saw is the sneaker contract that A-Di and Hook gave me."
"When every high-ranking rookie enters the NBA, major shoe manufacturers will come to negotiate, which is a very normal thing."
"I also received sneaker contracts from A-Di and Hook."
Barkley and Smith are both former NBA stars and are very familiar with shoe contracts.
The two of them quickly finished reading, and Barkley was the first to speak: "I have read these two sneaker contracts. There is no problem with the terms of the contract. The only problem is that the amount seems to be a bit too little."
"Charles, you're right. I didn't expect that my sneaker contract would only be this much."
“After I was selected No. 1 overall, through my agent, Bill Duffy, I received the contract from Hook and Di.”
"Hook offered me 3 million for 1000 years, and A-Di offered me 3 million for 1200 years."
"And after I beat the Dream Team, Hook offered me a three-year, $3 million deal."
"Adi gave me an offer of 3 million for three years."
"I don't quite understand why my offer was so low."
"Dwight Howard, the second pick in 2004, was given a three-year, $3 million contract by A-Di."
"The No. 2003 pick in 7, LeBron James, was given a 9000-year, $ million contract by the Hooker."
"I don't really understand why I am inferior to them. I also didn't play in the NBA, but I can only get a shoe contract with a maximum annual salary of 400 million, while theirs are all in the tens of millions!"
"Even though I played well in the Olympics and even beat the Dream Team, I still didn't get a 10 million dollar sneaker contract.
"Combined with the four-year, $4 million contract that Hook gave to my compatriot Yao Ming."
"I think the Hook and A-Di brand is racist!"
Racial curiosity!
These four words can only be described as taboo in a beautiful home.
Whenever these four words are involved, large-scale demonstrations and even conflicts are very common.
Barkley wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to start.
After all, judging from the sneaker contract, Hook and A-Di really didn't take Lin Yu and Yao Ming seriously.
The fans in front of the TV were all shocked by Lin Yu's remarks.
"Racial Violence!? F**K! I didn't expect Hook and Di to be involved in racial violence!"
"Oh my god! I can't believe it! The evidence is right in front of me. These two brands are indeed strange!"
"These two brands should be boycotted! We must boycott racial discrimination!"
