In Houston, at a KFC restaurant one kilometer away from Texas Southern University, Lin Yu, dressed as a KFC waiter, stood on the street, constantly handing KFC fast food to children walking by.
Then he turned around and chatted with Chris Bosh next to him.
Before the All-Star Weekend, KFC and the league officially organized a community service event. Lin Yu originally thought he would participate alone, but Bosh also came as a partner.
Compared to Lin Yu, Bosh was much more popular. There were always black kids running up to Bosh asking for a signed KFC fast food.
In contrast, the children who came to Lin Yu to ask for KFC fast food were simply looking for a delicious fried chicken.
"Chris, are you also a spokesperson for KFC?"
"No, KFC does not have a spokesperson in North America." Bosh shook his head and pointed to the old KFC logo behind him: "In North America, Colonel Harland Sanders is the best spokesperson. They don't need to hire other spokespersons.
.”
Harlan Sanders is the founder of the KFC brand. Lin Yu nodded and easily understood what Bosh said.
While they were chatting, another black kid quickly ran up to Bosh and asked for a hug and a piece of Kentucky Fried Chicken signed by Bosh.
There were many black children in this area of Southern University. Lin Yu was a little confused, but Bosh quickly cleared up his confusion.
"Southern University is adjacent to a black area, and it is normal for there to be many black children."
Seeing another black kid shouting Bosh rush to Bosh, Lin Yu said with envy: "Chris, I never thought you would have so many fans in Houston."
According to Lin Yu's understanding, Bosh plays in Toronto and the fans should all be in Toronto.
Bosh laughed: "I was born in Texas, so there will naturally be a lot of my fans in Houston."
Lin Yu suddenly realized that as they continued chatting, the sun had gradually reached their heads.
Although it's only February, the sunshine in Houston is so intense that it makes people feel hot all over.
The assistant sent by Jeff Schwartz was very clever. He carried a large umbrella and erected it above the heads of Lin Yu and Bosh.
Bosh was too tall. As soon as he stood up, his cute dragon head hit the edge of the umbrella. He screamed in pain, and a sudden laughter came from the street.
Lin Yu moved his eyes over and saw a face that seemed extremely familiar to him.
"This guy looks too much like Jordan, doesn't he?"
This guy who looked a lot like Jordan stopped smiling all of a sudden, and even avoided Bosh's gaze, ran to Lin Yu, and shouted: "Hey, Crazy Lin, give me a piece of fried chicken."
Lin Yu was ready to hand over a piece of fried chicken.
But the black children behind them all shouted: "Jimmy, you are 17, why are you still trying to grab fried chicken from us?"
This guy who looked like Jordan and was probably named Jimmy turned his head and cursed fiercely: "Shut up!"
The fried chicken in Lin Yu's hand shrank back at this moment and was not released.
"Give it to me!" Jimmy yelled at Lin Yu fiercely again.
Lin Yu handed him the fried chicken and asked with interest: "Your name is Jimmy, what is your full name?"
"Jimmy Butler."
After getting the fried chicken, Jimmy Butler's mood improved. He gnawed on the fried chicken in his hand and struck up a conversation with Lin Yu in a calm tone.
"Crazy Lin, I watched your game and you played very crazy, but when I enter the NBA, I will be even crazier than you!"
Lin Yu looked at the child in front of him with a smile and said nonsense, "I will be crazier than you". What did it mean? "You need me so much, you can't win without me!"
That's the real heart-breaking thing.
"Do you play basketball too?"
When Lin Yu asked, Jimmy Butler suddenly became very proud: "Of course, I am the star of Tomball High School and the future NBA All-Star!"
Lin Yu didn't bother him. He turned around and started poking this guy's sore feet: "Are you 17 years old? Are you going to choose a college soon? Are you going to the University of Texas or the University of Houston?"
Jimmy Butler's face suddenly turned dark. With his basketball skills, there is absolutely no problem in going to the University of Texas or the University of Houston, but the problem is that his academic performance is not up to standard, and he may have to go to a junior college.
He shut up for a moment and turned to leave.
Lin Yu smiled: "Come on, little guy, I'm waiting for you in the NBA."
The community service activities on the streets of Houston were fruitful. Lin Yu got to know Chris Bosh and met Jimmy Butler, who will be considered the toughest player in the NBA in the future.
He also thought of Jiba's words: "You need me so much, you can't win without me!"
It's also a very interesting joke, maybe he can try to steal it when the time comes.
Back at the hotel, Under Armor's staff delivered customized "Linsanity" signature sneakers.
"Mr. Lin, here are three pairs of Lin Kuangsheng's signature sneakers in different colors. In tomorrow's Rookie Challenge, your first-year team will wear red as the main color jersey, so we recommend that you wear red and blue shoes tomorrow.
sneakers."
The staff of Under Armor introduced it, and Lin Yu also saw this pair of "Linsanity" signature sneakers.
The pair placed on the top is red and blue. The red is like fire, but the blue seems a bit cold, but when combined together, it suddenly has a strong visual impact.
There is a flying Lin Yu signature on the side of the sneakers, and a logo with the word "linsanity" on the other side. With the signature and logo, the intention of this pair of sneakers is very obvious.
This is a pair of "Linsanity" special sneakers, which can also be regarded as a souvenir of "Linsanity".
In addition to the red and blue colors, there are also two colors, green and white and red and yellow. Obviously, these three colors are respectively targeted at the upcoming Rookie Challenge, Celtics games, and possible countries in the offseason.
team competition.
Lin Yu tried it on his feet again and immediately felt extremely comfortable.
"Nice sneakers, I will wear them tomorrow."
"It's better to have a dunk." Under Armor's staff reminded him, and Lin Yu immediately grimaced secretly.
Dunk? Don't think about it. Let him shoot a few three-pointers against the defense, which is more reliable than dunking.
"I can't guarantee that I will have a chance to dunk in tomorrow's game. Everyone knows that I have very few dunks, but I will definitely perform well and lead the game well."
Lin Yu made a guarantee. In his opinion, tomorrow's game is just an exhibition match and no one should take it seriously.
In a casual game, as long as the playing time and the number of shots are enough, there should be no surprises in producing excellent statistics.
