Chapter 60 The Green Army meets Lin Yu!

"Don't think I'm Le Brun. Once I enter the alliance, you'll know how powerful and terrifying I am!"

When Paul heard Lin Yu's words, he naturally refused to admit defeat.

Lin is not worried that Paul will come for revenge, he is confident enough in his own strength.

"Then I will wait for you to join the alliance and seek revenge on me!"

"Don't think I'll be grateful to you just because you train with me. If I meet you in the arena, I will definitely beat you mercilessly!"

Tony and Roy looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

These two people...

What a fucking enemy!

They started bickering from the first day of training and it never stopped.

The two chose to ignore them and continued watching the game.

James and Shegua, the two greatest players of the game, one was swept by Gentleman Garnett, and the other was swept by the Pacers.

The four of them continued their training while watching the game.

This kind of training lasted for a month, and Lin Yu's peaceful life was interrupted again.

According to Bill Duffy, some teams have already started contacting Lin Yu in advance.

The Celtics are the first to bear the brunt!
Although Lin Yu did not have a good impression of Boston, a city with serious population imbalance.

But he came to watch every game just for the Cardinal, and even brought Celtics legends to cheer for him.

He had to go to Boston anyway.

After boarding the plane to Boston, Lin Yu, accompanied by Bill Duffy, came to North Shore Gardens.

The Celtics had not made the playoffs at this time, and there was not a single fan in the entire ND Garden.

The cardinal, along with Angie and 'Lord of the Rings' Bill Russell, waited for Lin Yu's arrival.

After the two sides greeted each other, Lin Yu sat next to him at the cardinal's gesture.

The cardinal spoke first: "Lin Yu, you are a very smart young man. Even if I don't tell you, you know why I called you here today. I want to know what you think of the Celtics?"

"Honestly speaking, I don't like the city of Boston. Mr. Auerbach knows the reason even if I don't tell him. In my impression, the Celtics are iron-blooded, crazy, confident and tough. They are an absolutely iron-blooded team."

Lin Yu expressed his impression of the Celtics led by the Big Three.

The cardinal did not speak, and the 'Lord of the Rings' Bill Russell spoke up: "Lin, you and I are the same. We both hate the city of Boston, and I also hate the fans here."

During the Lord of the Rings era in Boston, spectacles were more serious than they are today.

No matter how many championships the King of the Rings won or how many MVPs he won, he still couldn't change the world because the fans in Boston simply didn't like him and never respected him.

The Oscar-winning film "The Green Hand" also tells the story of what happened to the Lord of the Rings at that time. Ironically, the Lord of the Rings, as a monument to the team, never liked Boston.

Local Boston fans even graffitied his home, defecated on his bed, and vandalized his trophies.

"But I don't hate the Celtics, because the Celtics are different from Boston!"

As the Lord of the Rings spoke, he pointed to the yellowing championship banner above the NDRC.

"This is the glory I once brought here, but they have begun to fade, and I think you can bring back the former glory for the Celtics!"

Lin Yu understood what the Lord of the Rings meant. Although the Celtics were in Boston, the Celtics were still the Celtics.

Basketball doesn't need anything else mixed in!
"I can promise you that as long as you are willing to come to the Celtics, I will build a team around you, and I will also give you a certain say, for example, if you still want to play with your teammate Tony Allen."

"I can also ask Danny to draft Tony Allen and have him start his career with you in Boston."

The cardinal gave his word.

When Lin Yu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Why will James be criticized so badly in the future? In addition to the fans' criticism, part of the reason is that James' actions are beyond the scope of a player, such as interfering with the management's transactions.

Although the cardinal only gave Lin Yu a certain amount of voice, to some extent, it was already a great power.

"How old must it be? If I say I want to play with Kobe, will Mr. Auerbach try to recruit Kobe?"

Lin Yu did not completely listen to the cardinal's nonsense. After all, what one says and what one actually does are two different things.

"Recruiting Kobe? What you said is indeed a good suggestion. The Celtics can indeed give it a try. After all, Kobe's contract is about to expire."

"If you really want to play with Kobe, I will try to recruit him during the offseason, but you also know that a team has a 15-man roster, and I can't let you choose the other 14 players."

The Cardinal's meaning is also very clear, you can choose one or two teammates, but not too many.

Lin Yu nodded, and then continued his conversation with the cardinal.

Two hours later, Lin Yu and Bill Duffy left North Shore Gardens together.

On the way, Bill Duffy asked, "Lin, have you decided to come to Boston?"

Although the lottery has not started yet, it is already known that the Celtics want to get Lin Yu.

Even if the Celtics fail to win the No. 1 pick, there is still hope of trading for it.

That's why Bill Duffy came to Boston with Lin Yu at this time.

"I haven't confirmed it yet, but we Chinese have a saying, shop around. Tell the media about my coming to Boston. I want to see how other teams react."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Bill Duffy smiled and gave Lin Yu a thumbs up.

The next day, the news that Lin Yu came to North Shore Garden and saw the cardinal shocked the Meili family instantly.

ESPN: Celtics legend meets with Lin Yu! Is Lin Yu going to Boston?
Sports Illustrated: Is there any illegal recruitment involved? The Cardinal privately met with the No. 1 pick!

Los Angeles Times: The Celtics fired the first shot in the battle for Lin Yu!
……

New York, NBA headquarters.

After seeing today's news, Stern couldn't sit still anymore.

Now there is only one thought in my mind.

Did the cardinal really fool Lin Yu?
The Cardinal has done a lot of deceptive things in the league.

The most typical example was taking advantage of a loophole in the rules to select Bird with the sixth pick in the first round.

Although there is still some time before the draw on May 5, Stern is starting to panic.

This is crazy...

What if Lin Yu was fooled by the cardinal and wanted to join the Celtics?
After all, there are quite a few problematic players entering the league every year.

The most typical example is 'Big Dog' Robinson.

In 1994, Robinson participated in the NBA draft and was selected as the No. pick by the Milwaukee Bucks.

After a period of stalemate with the team, he finally forced the team to sign an unprecedented rookie contract with him before the start of the season, with a length of 16 years and a total salary of 6800 million US dollars.

The following year, the NBA introduced a rookie salary cap to avoid situations like Robin Hood's.

And many rookies have their favorite cities.

For example, Curry.

When Curry was drafted, he never tried out for the Warriors.

Curry just wanted to go to New York.

Then Curry was intercepted.

Rubio, the golden boy of the Spanish Ducks, once said that he did not want to play for the Timberwolves after being selected by the Timberwolves.

Stern is worried now. What if Lin Yu is really fooled by the cardinal?
