Chapter 1394 Arrival in Milan
Chapter 1,394 Arriving in Milan Malone and Payton looked at each other and remained silent. (Reading novels)
The two of them were naturally honored by Lin Feng's invitation, but they had to consider this matter carefully. You know, they all gave up their high salaries last season. Malone in particular betrayed the Utah Jazz, where he had played for 18 years, and joined the Los Angeles Lakers. Not only did he suffer huge financial losses, but he also suffered a huge reputation. The loss is for the championship. But what about the result? The Lakers formed "f4", but were still ruthlessly eliminated by the Houston Rockets.
Now that Lin Feng invites them to join the Houston Rockets, it is undoubtedly another "betrayal". If successful, everything will be fine. But what if the Houston Rockets are eliminated again next year? You know, in yesterday's game, the Houston Rockets won with fear. If it weren't for Kobe's one-on-one play, the Los Angeles Lakers would have won.
"Mr. Lin, thank you very much for your invitation. We are also very interested in joining the Houston Rockets. However, we still need to think about it carefully!" Malone thought for a while and decided to observe it first.
"Haha, you two, do you want to see if the Los Angeles Lakers O'Neal and Kobe, the strongest duo in history, will be separated?" Lin Feng didn't mind Malone's hesitation, but smiled on his face.
Since Malone is called a "villain" and the most powerful power forward in history, he is by no means a person who likes to beat around the bush. Therefore, he did not shy away from it and admitted it generously. If the "ok" combination of Kobe and O'Neal is not broken up, the Los Angeles Lakers will still be the most powerful combination. With them, the Lakers will still be the favorites to win the championship. On the other hand, although the Houston Rockets have talented players like James and Wade, they still need to train. And next year, Jordan, Rodman and others will be one year older and may have retired. Such a lineup can compete with the heyday. Are the Lakers comparable? - Malone and Payton are deeply skeptical.
Indeed, Lin Feng also understands the concerns of Malone and Payton. If the "ok" combination does not disband, in the past two seasons, the Lakers, plus Malone and Payton, will still be the most popular candidates for the championship, even their own Houston Rockets cannot compare. However, the "ok" pairing that "historically" shocked the past and present fell apart after this season. What's more, after Kobe and Jordan's one-on-one duel in the last six minutes, O'Neal, the super center, was thrown aside, which was even more intensified. The conflict between O'Neal and Kobe.
"In this way, Karl (Malone), Gary (Payton), if O'Neal leaves the Los Angeles Lakers, then I think the Lakers dynasty will fall apart, and you will definitely look for a new team. If this happens, I hope you will I must consider my Houston Rockets first. I believe that in the next 10 years, the Houston Rockets will be the most capable team in the NBA!" Lin Feng invited again.
Malone and Payton looked at each other in shock. They are not surprised by Lin Feng's boasts about the Houston Rockets. As for the future of the Houston Rockets, anyone with a certain understanding of basketball can tell it.
The future of the Houston Rockets is bright. What shocked them was why Lin Feng was so sure that O'Neal would leave the Lakers.
"Mr. Lin, thank you for your honest invitation. If that is the case, we will definitely consider the Houston Rockets first. But here, I have a question. Even if O'Neal and Kobe have a conflict, why are you so sure that O'Neal will go? Although O'Neal He is 32 years old, but he is still the most dominant player on the planet. With his physical fitness, he can still dominate this league for 3-4 years. Why do you think it is him who left, and not Kobe?" Payton spoke.
Lin Feng smiled.
"It's very simple! Time is not forgiving! O'Neal is the present, and Kobe is the future! Any general manager will make such a choice. The nickname of Jordan's successor is not in vain, otherwise at the last moment of the game, Phil Jackson I will not give the last offensive opportunity to Kobe!" Lin Feng pointed out Jiangshan.
Malone and Payton looked at each other and nodded helplessly. However, if this is what Lin Feng speculates, then the "ok" combination of the Los Angeles Lakers that intimidate all directions will disappear. In that case, they really need to think about it carefully.
"Mr. Lin, please allow us to think about it for a while. After all, the playoffs are not over yet, and the player transfer market has not yet opened, right?" Malone thought for a while and decided to observe it for a while. If the "ok" combination really falls apart, then they will definitely not stay with the Lakers. On the contrary, if the "ok" combination continues to cooperate, then they will choose to stay with the Lakers and work hard for the championship in the last year.
Lin Feng nodded. He also has a very good understanding of their psychological activities. Therefore, they are not forced to do anything. Anyway, O'Neal is definitely going to leave this year, and as long as his Houston Rockets win the championship, then who else in this league has more championship potential than the Houston Rockets.
After chatting with Malone and Payton, Lin Feng said goodbye to them and flew directly to the Houston Rockets. After spending two days in the Houston Rockets and discussing with Houston Rockets General Manager Dawson the draft plan for this year's Houston Rockets (only selecting players with quality, regardless of position), Lin Feng returned to Los Angeles and brought along Li Zhiyou and Huang Meixi. Avril Lavigne and others flew directly to Milan together.
Milan, the fashion capital of Europe, is one of the eight major metropolises in the world, the world's fashion and design capital, and the most influential city in the fashion industry. Therefore, although Milan is not the capital of Italy, its status in Italy is very important. The current Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi is the chairman of Milan's most famous team, AC Milan.
When Lin Feng and his party arrived in Milan, Allegra was already waiting at the airport in person.
"Hi, Zhiyou, Meixi, Zhihui, Avril, oh, and Jessica, Zhiling, hello everyone! Welcome to Milan. Of course, Lin, you are welcome to come too!" Allegra warmly hugged several girls one by one, but when it came to Lin Feng, she automatically skipped them, not even the simplest kiss on the cheek.
Lin Feng was helpless. He could only feel helpless about Allegra's automatic neglect of him. After all, the relationship between the two was a little awkward. Both of them pretended to forget what happened in the past, but this made them a little unnatural when they met.
"Let's go, I've prepared rooms for you. One for each person!" Allegra excitedly hooked her arm around Lee Ji-woo and Lin Ji-hye's shoulders. In the past few months, she has been undergoing heavy training, which has made her almost breathless. Finally, when she is about to hold her coming-of-age ceremony, the heavy training plan for the successor of the Versace Empire has finally been completed. This also made her feel relieved. And now her best friends come together to help her celebrate her birthday, which naturally makes her particularly happy.
Along the way, several girls chattered and chatted happily. But it is strange that, whether it is because of the relationship between several girls and Lin Feng, or because they all know Chinese, several girls did not chat in English, the universal language of the world, but in Chinese, which made Lin Feng feel a little bit flattered along the way. If Chinese becomes the most universal language in the world in the future, how cool it would be. After that, Chinese people don't have to worry about not knowing foreign languages wherever they go. They can buy things, eat, and stay anywhere in the world by speaking fluent Chinese. Thinking of this picture, Lin Feng was excited all over.
If I can really build my own business empire, I will do my best to make Chinese the most popular language in the world. ——Lin Feng swore secretly.
Then, the group left Milan and went to Allegra's manor. Of course, this manor originally belonged to her uncle Versace, but after Versace died unexpectedly, 50% of his property was left to her, and this manor was inherited by her.
"Okay, everyone take a break, then we will go shopping in the afternoon, and take you to eat the most famous seafood fish in Milan in the evening (although Milan is an inland country, it has the largest fish market in Italy, which concentrates all the fresh fish in Italy), and then go to La Scala Theater to listen to the opera." Allegra shouted excitedly.
The women cheered.
Lin Feng was helpless. This woman just has no resistance to shopping and food. Helpless, accompany! If you don't accompany them, it won't work. When women go shopping, they can forget the existence of men. But if you find that the man is gone after shopping, or looks tired, you will lose your temper. Especially with so many women together, it's even more incredible.
Risking one's life to accompany a gentleman! Lin Feng gritted his teeth and accompanied a few girls to visit Milan's most famous luxury brand street - Monte Napoleone Street, then visited the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and then visited Via Matteodi. Lin Feng was more tired than a dog. What made Lin Feng vomit blood the most was that after shopping for several hours, the girls didn't buy a single piece of clothing. But think about it, with Allegra, the eldest lady, around, she can find a lot of problems no matter what brand you visit. And the girls just obeyed Allegra's appreciation level.
I think it's best to buy your 'Versace' brand! —— Lin Feng muttered in his heart.
"Okay, okay, let's go eat! I'm starving!" Lin Feng couldn't stand the girls' proposal to visit Monte Napoleone Street again, and protested loudly. The girls looked at the sky, touched their stomachs, and finally agreed.
This made Lin Feng finally breathe a sigh of relief. After a sumptuous fish dinner, Lin Feng and his group went to listen to the so-called highest art opera that gave Lin Feng a headache, and Lin Feng felt drowsy after listening to it.
"What a wonderful day! Haha, let's continue tomorrow!" After coming out of the opera house, Allegra shouted excitedly.
Lee Ji-woo, Avril and others raised their hands and cheered, and even Lin Chiling, who always stood on Lin Feng's side, couldn't help but respond to Allegra's call.
Lin Feng fainted immediately. If he continued to live this kind of life, he would go crazy. Fortunately, this kind of life only lasted for two days, and two days later, Allegra's 18th birthday ceremony was ushered in. And the guests who attended that day were celebrities. And Lin Feng's target was among them!
