Chapter 4: Video went viral, sparking discussion from all sides!
Garnett watched the video while talking to Kobe.
"Kobe, is the player in the picture Yao's compatriot? With his height and wingspan, he looks good at playing inside and protecting the basket."
"Hey! This is Coach Kenny. Yao's compatriot asked Coach Kenny for a coin. What is he doing?"
"KG, if you keep watching, you will know that this video will definitely surprise you!"
Hearing Kobe's voice, Garnett also said curiously: "I am also looking forward to how Yao's compatriots will surprise me!"
in the video.
After showing the coin, Lin Yu walked to the center of the court and assumed a starting position.
accelerate!
Sprint!
When Lin Yu burst out with all his strength, he was as fast as a yellow lightning!
"This speed is so fast that he doesn't even look like an inside player!"
There was a hint of surprise in Garnett's voice, but it was just a hint of surprise.
As a historical-level help defense monster in the NBA, Garnett is also very fast, comparable to a guard.
Although Lin Yu's speed is fast, he feels that if he uses his full strength, he will not be slower than Lin Yu!
"This is the first time I've seen an inside player with such speed besides you and Tim. But this is not the most surprising thing to me. Please continue watching."
Before Kobe could finish his words, Garnett's face was completely dull and his eyes were full of shock.
What did he see! ?
After sprinting to the basket, Lin Yu jumped directly.
When your body reaches the highest point, place the coin on the top edge of the backboard.
Shocking!
Unbelievable!
Now Garnett finally understood why Kobe was surprised!
Hearing that Garnett had lost his voice, Kobe knew that Garnett must have been shocked.
"KG, are you shocked? I also felt incredible when I first saw it!"
Hearing Kobe's voice, Garnett came back to his senses.
There was shock in his voice: "Don't say that, Kobe, I know exactly how you feel, but this video, is it really not a composite?"
"Old Kenny is the head coach of the Cowboys. His appearance shows that this should not be fake."
"Although I've heard that Bill Russell and Chamberlain could touch the top of the backboard, I was still very surprised when I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Kobe, I still can't believe that there are actually people like this in the world, and they are yellow!"
If talented superstars like Garnett and Kobe were so surprised, what about the fans?
The comment section below the video has already exploded, filled with all kinds of comments.
"FXXK! Is this true!? Touch the top of the backboard!"
"No player in the NBA can do this. This wingspan and this jump are talents that can be seen with the naked eye!"
"Does anyone know the information about this player? I would pay a high price to buy him!"
"Wait upstairs! Old Kenny appears in the video, he is most likely a player of the Cowboys. I guess the media will start interviewing him soon."
As mentioned in the comments section, old Kenny’s phone is now flooded with calls from the media!
Since the media couldn't find Lin Yu, they naturally had to look for old Kenny.
Many media and commentators have also published comments about Lin Yu.
Former NBA superstar "Flying Pig" Charles Barkley publicly praised Lin Yu directly on the show.
"I asked old Kenny and learned that the player who could throw the coin to the top of the backboard was named Lin Yu."
"Lin has outstanding talent. Although I don't have detailed physical test data, I can see it from the video."
"His wingspan is excellent, his speed is not inferior to that of a guard, and his jumping ability is not inferior to me in my prime."
"If I were the general manager holding the first-round pick, I would definitely choose Lin Yu without hesitation!"
Although Barkley's words may seem like he was bragging about himself, it also shows that he affirms Lin Yu's talent.
Although it was just a short video, Lin Yu's static and dynamic talents were fully displayed.
With enough talent, even players like Simmons and Fat Tiger who don't have shooting skills can be selected as the No. 1 pick. At this time, Barkley thought that Lin Yu being selected in the first round was a very conservative estimate.
China across the ocean.
The 22nd Asian Men's Basketball Championship came to an end. The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Korean team 106:96 in the final, successfully defending the title and winning the Asian Men's Basketball Championship for the 13th time.
On the night of National Day, they avenged the loss of the gold medal in the Busan Asian Games and also won the last ticket to the men's basketball competition in the 2004 Athens Olympics.
After the award ceremony, reporters asked Yao Ming about his opinion on Lin Yu.
"Dayao, did you know that there is a talented player among the yellow race recently?"
"I know that my friends in the NBA, Francis, Tracy, and Kobe have all called me to ask about Lin Yu!"
As Dayao spoke, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Yao Ming still remembers the time when he watched Lin Yu’s video.
He never dreamed that a yellow man could actually put the coin on the top of the backboard!
"Dayao, according to the comments of the Meilijia media, Lin Yu may become the next yellow man to be selected in the first round. What do you think about this?"
"Lin Yu has outstanding talent, I believe he can be selected in the first round!"
Dayao's answer was undoubtedly an affirmation of Lin Yu.
This piece of news, along with the news that the men's basketball team won the gold medal in the Asian Championships, was also featured on CCTV-5.
New York, NBA headquarters.
Stern was also very surprised when he saw this scene.
Although Stern had also seen Chamberlain, who used his unreasonable talent to rule the ancient times.
But as a yellow man, putting a coin on the edge of the backboard with bare hands is still too exaggerated!
After the surprise, Stern knew.
The opportunity to completely open up the Chinese market has arrived!
After Yao Ming became the No. 1 pick, China's market has been half opened to the NBA.
And now, Lin Yu is the opportunity to open up the other half of the market!
Thinking of this, Stern made a decision immediately.
He wants to support this young man!
Although he had never met Lin Yu in person, he was impressed by the talent shown in the video.
That terrifying wingspan, the speed that can rival that of a guard, and that terrifying bounce
This kind of talent will be useless?
With Stern's support, Lin Yu's news dominated the hot searches on the sports section of Meilijia.com.
"Chamberlain II appears! Another dominant inside player!"
"Crazy! The first player who can get the coin to the top of the backboard appears!"
"Only seen in a century! The next yellow race champion! The terrifying talent of a far-reaching champion!"
"."
You can tell by the media headlines, each one more exaggerated than the last.
I'm angry!
It’s completely popular!
Whether in the United States or in China, Lin Yu's name has become a household name.
Even Lin Yu's parents were shocked at this moment.
I just sent my son to the beautiful country. How long has it been since then?
How did it become world famous?
Lin's father even made a special phone call to confirm whether Lin Yu in the news was really his son.
"Dad, that's me. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself here!"
"If there's anything you can't solve, call dad. Also, try to get into the NBA and bring glory to your country!"
"I know, Dad. I will make it to the NBA and bring glory to my country!"
