After the finals started, Lin Yu's film shooting also began.
The shooting locations were mainly at Lin Yu’s unsold apartment and the Celtics’ training facility. In addition to eating and sleeping, there was training, always two points and one line. This is also in line with Lin Yu’s hard-working personality.
The essence of the movie "Linsanity" is to train hard, wait for the opportunity, and finally put on a crazy personal performance.
The most important scene that Lin Yu needs to reshoot is starting from the early morning, going out for a jog on the deserted streets of Boston, and then arriving at the Celtics training facility to start a day of training.
This is the scene that runs through the entire "Linsanity" documentary. James Wan added a scene in this documentary where Lin Yu has no ball to play and may be cut by the Celtics at any time, and then be forced to return to China.
James Wan dramatized this plot, making the "Linsanity" documentary that incorporated this plot more like a commercial sports inspirational movie.
After filming Lin Yu's two-point-one-line plot on the first day, the entire crew moved to the classic bar where Lin Yu and the others often went when Ricky Davis was still there. All the subsequent plots will take place here.
Jeff Schwartz drove his car and parked outside the set. After getting out of the car, he opened the door and entered the bar. He quickly walked to James Wan who was behind the camera and focused on the center of the set: "Hey, James, captured
Where are you? Can you stop for a moment? I have something urgent and I need to talk to Lin."
James Wan returned the OK gesture, and in the middle of the set, Lin Yu was chatting with his guest star Marcus Banks.
I only heard the assistant director shout: "cut!"
Lin Yu exhaled immediately, stood up and saw Jeff Schwartz outside the set. He raised his hand and said hello to Schwartz: "Hey, Jeff."
Then he walked quickly to Schwartz.
"What? What's the matter?"
As the transfer period approaches, Jeff Schwartz has also become busy. He can no longer hang around Lin Yu 12 hours a day.
So when Schwartz came to his door at this time, something must have happened or he had received some news.
"I got news from the New York Knicks that the Celtics are selling you to multiple teams, and the asking price is between two first-rounders and three first-rounders. Currently, I got news that the Houston Rockets, Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles
The Lakers have extremely strong interest in trading for you."
"At present, Danny Ainge should still be negotiating, but according to my estimation, if two or three teams end up with the same bid, Danny Ainge may let you choose the next team."
"If you choose your next team, would Danny Ainge be so kind?" Lin Yu was a little surprised by Jeff Schwartz's judgment of Danny Ainge.
"You underestimated the impact of your Return of the King game. Although the Celtics eventually lost that series, relying on 'Linsanity' and that Return of the King game, you
It has completely conquered the Boston fans."
"Everyone thinks you are the hero of the Celtics. Without you, the Celtics would not have made it to the playoffs. Without you, the Celtics would have been swept by the Cavaliers. Now Danny Ainge wants to trade you.
I must give you some respect, and letting you choose your next home is a form of respect."
"Of course, the premise is that there are two or three teams with roughly the same bid."
Lin Yu nodded, understanding Jeff Schwartz's judgment.
"So, what should we do now?"
"I will contact several team managements I am familiar with and ask them to lower the price and try to get the same price."
Before leaving, Jeff Schwartz suddenly asked: "By the way, if you really had to choose, Cavaliers, Rockets, Lakers, or other possible teams, how would you choose?"
"Cavaliers, Rockets, Lakers?"
Lin Yu thought for a while, raised his head and gave the answer: "I might choose the knight."
Jeff Schwartz was obviously a little surprised: "Cavaliers? Are you willing to go to Cleveland to a place where nothing matters?"
"Although Kecun is small, it will be very competitive in the future. lbj and I will become a stronger forward and defensive combination, and lbj's style is very selfless. I will get more opportunities there."
Lin Yu said some unkind words, but in fact, he had other considerations.
Jeff Schwartz still couldn't understand: "Aren't you considering going to a bad team? How about brushing up the statistics as the team leader? Maybe after just one season, you can make it to the All-Star Game and the All-NBA Team.
Stars in the main game can easily get the maximum salary."
Lin Yu shook his head: "No, I like winning, not losing."
At the Celtics headquarters, assistant general manager Joel Simeone quickly collected fax responses from various teams. After screening, he went upstairs with the pile of responses.
Knocking on the door of Danny Ainge's office, Joel Simeone handed all the fax responses to Danny Ainge and then walked out.
Anji opened the pile of fax replies and scanned them one by one.
"The Houston Rockets bid for this year's No. 8 first-round pick, the Golden State Warriors bid for this year's No. 9 pick plus a second-round pick, the Los Angeles Lakers bid for one first-round pick, Garsasha Vujacic, and the Cleveland Cavaliers bid for two first-round picks...
"
Danny Ainge scratched his head: "Just mother-fxxk, no team offered three first-round picks?"
He shook his head helplessly. If Lin Yu could only get these benefits from trading, the Celtics would not be able to trade Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen at the same time.
"We can only contact them and have an in-depth chat."
Danny Ainge called Mitch Kupchak first.
Mitch Kupchak is the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers. In fact, when the Celtics were selling Lin Yu, Kupchak was not interested.
But Kobe Bryant got the news and strongly requested Kupchak to trade for Lin Yu.
Considering that Lin Yu's value after injury would not be too high, Kupchak decided to give Kobe a try.
His bid was for a first-round player, Gaza Vujacic, which should be the lowest among all the teams that bid.
Danny Ainge called and asked for three first-rounders. Kupchak still resisted the offer. After some negotiations, the difference between the asking price and the offer price was too big, and the deal fell apart.
Kupchak was relieved that he could reply to Kobe on the grounds that the Celtics' asking price was too high.
Then came the Warriors. After the same negotiation, the Warriors changed their offer to this year's No. 9 pick plus a future protected first-round pick. The offer was sincere and Ainge was satisfied, but he still had to compare it with multiple parties.
Then came the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers' offer was the highest among all teams at the beginning. After renegotiation, the Cavaliers added Alexander Pavlovich, plus the original two first-rounders, the Cavaliers still led all.
The bidding team.
Finally, it was the Rockets. Before Ainge could call Carroll Dawson, Daryl Morey called first.
"Danny, regarding the China Lin deal, you should have received the offer from the Houston Rockets, right?"
"This year's No. 8 pick was exchanged for China's Lin Darrell. I think you should tell Carroll that his trading ideas have lagged behind the times. The Warriors offered the No. 9 pick plus a future first-round pick. This price is far higher than
You guys are cumming."
Angie directly pulled out the Warriors' offer. Morey on the other end of the phone smiled: "Danny, I called just to talk about this. We held a meeting and after discussion, we decided to increase the offer and pick No. 8.
Add a future protected first-round pick."
The Rockets made the latest offer, and Ainge was satisfied with it, but he didn't know that Jeff Schwartz had already played his role.
There is not much difference between the 8th and 9th picks. Considering that this is a small draft year, the value of the picks in the middle of the lottery will not be too great.
The value of the Cavaliers' two first-rounders plus Pavlovic is also very high. Basically, each has its own advantages with the Warriors and Rockets' bids.
