Jeff Schwartz quickly replied to Lin Yu: "Lin, I asked, and the reply from reddit was that they are not short of money, so they are not considering external investment for the time being."
"Well, since they are not short of money, why did they only offer me an endorsement offer of US$200,000 for one year? Are they insulting me?"
Lin Yu suddenly lost his favorable impression of the forum Reddit. Jeff Schwartz didn't answer. Lin Yu then typed a few words: "As for you, Jeff, you seem to be out of shape at work recently? I think you
I need to wake up, I don’t want some of my work to be affected because of you.”
Jeff Schwartz couldn't express his pain. He could only explain: "You know, the Celtics formed the Big Three, and there were too many things to deal with. I had to shift my focus to Paul.
(Pierce), and the time when reddit came to my door happened to be when the transfer market and the free market opened, I was too busy."
There was another reason he didn't say: Lin Yu had too many things on his side, including transfers, endorsement contracts, investments, and movie making...
On the phone, Lin Yu was also thinking silently. Because of Jeff Schwartz's explanation, he was even more determined to replace Jeff Schwartz.
"Jeff is a big agent. In addition to me, he also has big clients like Paul Pierce. He also won LaMarcus Aldridge in this year's draft. I can do enough for him.
He is very busy, he also has to take care of the personal affairs of Paul and LaMarcus, he is already too busy..."
Lin Yu felt: "It seems that I should find an agent that is unique to me."
He began to think that such an agent was not easy to find. After being served by Jeff Schwartz, he had a deep sense of how effective an agent with connections could be.
Obviously, a well-connected agent would not serve Lin Yu alone.
This formed a huge conflict. It was difficult to find the agent Lin Yu needed, and if he simply changed his agent, Jeff Schwartz would become the best candidate again.
Therefore, he could only wait a little longer. When he couldn't find a suitable agent in the end, he would renew his contract with Jeff Schwartz for a year or two and make do with it first.
On November 4th, US time, Quicken Loans Arena had its first show of the season, and the first team to challenge was naturally the Washington Wizards.
In the home team's locker room, Lin Yu has already changed his jersey and equipment.
He doesn't know whether he will start or be a substitute in this game. Everything has to wait for Mike Brown's decision.
Under the gaze of everyone's expectant eyes, Mike Brown quickly walked to the center of the locker room. He announced simply and clearly: "The starting five for today's game are center Zarunas, power forward Drew, and small forward Le.
Brown, shooting guard Larry and point guard Damon."
Lin Yu was a little disappointed, he was still a substitute.
On the other hand, Damon Jones was a little excited. He and Eric Snow performed equally well, but he was the first to complete the counterattack.
In the center of the locker room, LeBron James frowned without revealing any trace.
Then, Mike Brown laid out the tactics for this game: "Washington's advantage is their long shot, Gilbert Arenas' long shot, Caron Butler's long shot, and Antoine
- Jamison's long shot, we have to pay attention to their long shot, so, Larry, your opponent in this game will be Gilbert Arenas, LeBron, you also have to guard Caron Butler,
As for Antoine Jamison, I leave it to you, Drew."
Larry Hughes nodded very confidently, and there seemed to be a bit of pride in his confidence.
"Don't worry, coach, I will guard Gilbert. You know, he and I are old teammates."
The Cleveland media forgot to mention that this game was not only a No. 0 battle between Lin Yu and Arenas, but also a game between Larry Hughes and his old club.
Larry Hughes was very concerned about this. He decided to use his best performance since the new season to tell the Cleveland media that Larry Hughes was still the starter for the Cavaliers. He was also the protagonist of this game against the Wizards.
Lee-Hughes!
In fact, it's not that the Cleveland media forgot to mention it, it's that they have found it difficult to find news breaking points from Larry Hughes.
In Cleveland, there are more fans who don't like Larry Hughes than fans who like him.
A fan named Ted Mosby was interviewed: "Larry Hughes should take the initiative to leave. He is earning a salary of more than 10 million U.S. dollars and doing a job worth 5 million U.S. dollars. This is obviously his problem.
!”
A fan named Matthew Erickson standing on his right also gave advice: "It's time for Danny Ferry to take action. Next year we will renew the contracts of LeBron, Lin and Andre (Varejo).
, we have to send Larry away to make enough room."
A fan named Barney Stinson standing on the left also said: "By the way, Mike Brown can also leave, because I can't figure out why he keeps starting with Larry Hughes instead of giving China Lin more opportunities.
."
Quicken Loans Arena, the Cavaliers' first home game of the season, they had an appearance ceremony.
As a substitute, Lin Yu could not get a front or rear playing position. He played in the middle, but received more cheers than Drew Gooden and Eric Snow who played before him.
As for Larry Hughes' appearance, he also received some cheers, but also mixed with a little boos.
"Oh my God, Larry Hughes is still the starter. Is there any deal between Mike Brown and him? Why not use Lin as the starter?"
In the ESPN commentary box, Charles Barkley was brave enough to say.
Kenny Smith also went on to say: "I also want to see the opening battle between Lin Yu and Gilbert Arenas. The battle between the two No. 0 players from the second round of the draft will definitely be exciting. Unfortunately, I
We have to wait until the second half of the first quarter.”
Barkley also shook his head: "No, you don't have to, Kenny, I can guarantee that Lin will be replaced by Mike after half a quarter."
"Is it because the Cavaliers will be beaten violently by the Wizards?"
"That's right!"
"Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face?"
"..."
Charles Barkley suddenly became a prophet. This game was exactly what he said. After the game started, the Cavaliers were beaten by the Wizards.
The only sounds in the Quicken Loans Arena were the shouts and screams from Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary box.
"Gilbert relied on a breakthrough to score 2 points at the beginning."
"Gilbert hit a three-pointer and he has scored 5 points in a row!"
"It's Gilbert again, easily swaying away from Larry Hughes and hitting a mid-range shot. What is Larry Hughes doing? What is he doing?!"
"..."
In the opening game, Arenas scored 11 points in a row and entered rampage mode directly.
If he continues to fight like this, he will become a legend!
So, just as Charles Barkley predicted, Mike Brown was forced to call a timeout after only half a quarter.
Not only because the situation on the court is out of control, but also because LeBron James has lost his mentality.
"In the Cavaliers' offense, Larry Hughes' pass to lbj made a mistake and went directly out of the baseline. Although lbj saved the basketball, it was already ruled out of bounds..."
"Oh no, what did lbj do? He threw the basketball directly into the other half, as if to vent his anger..."
