Chapter 63 Respect and Trust
ESPN's nationwide live broadcast officially begins.
The camera turned and appeared in a studio, with three figures sitting on the sofa in the studio.
They are the two hosts Mike, Bryn and Amy, John Xun, and Lin Yu.
Mike Breen spoke first, "We are honored to have the core of the NCAA champion Cowboys and the MOP of the semifinals, Lin Yu, here today!"
The two did not immediately bring up the topic of the day's final question, 'Decision'.
After all, if this is the case, the show will be over in less than a minute, so what are they recording?
"Lin, can we talk about the NCAA finals? An unprecedented showdown between three top draft picks."
"sure……"
New York, NBA headquarters.
Stern put down his coffee and watched Lin Yu chatting with Mike, Brin and Amy John on TV.
Instead, his expression was unusually calm, because he had already guessed what kind of 'decision' Lin Yu might make!
But he still held out a glimmer of hope.
just in case……
Boston.
The cardinal sat in front of the TV at home, watching Lin Yu chatting with Mike Brin.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Old buddy Stern, you didn't expect that I would force you into this situation, did you?"
"Back then, you personally gave the Celtics' hope for continued glory to the Spurs. Now you are about to give it to me! The Celtics are about to regain their former glory!"
In the studio.
When Mike Breen learned that the number of online viewers had reached 700 million, his expression changed slightly.
You know, it’s only been on the air for 10 minutes!
And in the background, that number continues to grow.
800 million!
900 million!
1000 million!
After just 20 minutes of broadcasting, the number of online viewers reached 1000 million!
After reaching 1000 million, the growth in population began to slow down slightly.
But it is still growing steadily.
1100 million!
1200 million!
1300 million!
1400 million!
1500 million!
50 minutes into the show, the number of concurrent online viewers exceeded 1500 million!
You should know that the ratings for the finals between the Raptors and the Warriors in the next 19 years will only be 1400 million.
You can imagine how popular this program is in 04!
The audience in front of the TV were already greeting the two commentators.
"Stop dilly-dallying! Can you please ask faster?"
"Mike Brin, can you please stop asking questions and ask Lin Yu where he is going?"
"This is the first time I feel that these commentators are so talkative. Am I here to hear how awesome Lin Yu is about winning the championship? I've already watched the whole thing!"
"..."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mike and Brin saw that time was almost up and decisively got to the point.
"Lin, we all know why you came here today, and the audience in front of the TV may not be able to wait."
“Where did you decide to start your career?”
"Orlando, Boston, Chicago, Portland, or do you want to join the new Bobcats and play under the God of Basketball?"
Lin Yu's face was very calm. He already had the answer to this question.
"I decided to start my career with the Celtics!"
When Lin Yu's voice came from the TV.
In an instant, the whole of Boston began to boil, and countless fans took to the streets to shout and cheer!
"The Celtics are about to welcome their savior!"
"The glory of the No. 1 wealthy family is about to be restored!"
"Celtics Champions!"
"..."
portland.
When Lin Yu's voice came from the TV.
Patterson turned off the TV with a grim face.
He now has only one thought!
What kind of magic potion did the old cardinal give Lin Yu?!
Boston.
Although the cardinal knew Lin Yu's decision a long time ago, he was still dancing with excitement when he heard it.
"The Celtics are about to be revived again in my hands!"
The cardinal's children were also shocked to see their father, who was so happy that he forgot everything else.
They had almost forgotten how many years it had been since they had seen their father smile like this.
They now have only one thought.
Who is this person called Lin Yu?
New York, NBA headquarters.
After hearing Lin Yu's "decision", Stern sighed helplessly.
He had already anticipated this result.
"Arnold, even if you convince Lin Yu, do you really think I will sign the top pick to you..."
At this time, Mike Brin's voice sounded again on TV.
"Lin, I understand your determination to start your career with the Celtics, but what if the Celtics don't get the No. 1 pick?"
"Let me make a hypothesis here. If the Trail Blazers got the No. 1 pick and selected you, and they didn't trade with the Celtics, what would you do?"
Patterson: That's enough. Why do you always criticize the Trail Blazers?
When Mike Brin finished speaking, the attention of all the viewers in front of the TV was attracted again.
Everyone is eager to know Lin Yu’s answer!
"The NBA registration deadline is June 6, and the lottery date is May 19."
"I only said I wanted to run for election, but I didn't register."
"If the Celtics don't get the right pick, or can't trade for the right pick, then I won't participate in the draft this year."
"I believe the Celtics wouldn't mind playing badly for me for a year."
Hearing Lin Yu’s confident words coming out from the TV.
Houston.
Dayao showed a bitter smile on his face: "Dayu's decision is to tie himself to the Celtics!"
Tony, Paul and Roy, who had just finished training, were also watching the live broadcast.
"Celtics? I think it would be great to go to the Bulls. The red uniforms are so handsome." Tony was not surprised at this time.
Because at the beginning, Old Kenny had already given Lin Yu his advice.
Paul's eyes flashed with jealousy at this moment. The draft could cause such a big fuss.
"Lin Yu, that bastard, had better stay in college for another year so that I can get revenge for last season!"
Roy:? ?
How could Ning have such a dangerous idea?
This is a superstar who scored 50 points in a single game in the NCAA!
Has Ning never been beaten by society?
Let Lin Yu go to NBA as soon as possible!
Don’t stay in the NCAA!
In the studio.
Mike Breen asked again: "Lin, you still have three years in college. If the Celtics don't get the No. 1 pick this year and in the next three years, are you still willing to wait for the Celtics?"
"Yes!" Lin Yu answered straightforwardly.
Amy Johnson then asked, "Lin, can I ask why you want to go to the Celtics?"
“Because of respect and trust!”
"I have been to more than one team, but I didn't feel respected or trusted by the management of any team, except the Celtics."
"I asked many managements whether I could get a tactical core position, and only a few teams gave me the answer that I could."
"I think a lot of teams lack respect for me. I can be the core of the team and lead the team to win the championship!"
"Among them, only Lord of the Rings said to me, 'Lin Yu, you can bring back the glory of the Celtics! '"
"That's something I didn't feel from any other team. Only the Celtics gave me respect and trust."
"They respect my choice and trust me more to take on the responsibility of reviving the Celtics! Therefore, I will only choose the Celtics!"
Lin Yu's answer was beyond many people's expectations, but it seemed reasonable when it was said at this time.
