The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 51 Tsundere Blame Kobe!Sneaker contracts come to your door!

Silva quickly organized the language in his mind.

In his opinion, the NBA is much better than other leagues, whether it is the degree of commercialization, entertainment, or a sound system...

Before he could answer, Stern himself had already given the answer:
"Maybe one day in the future, the technical and tactical level of the NBA will be surpassed by Europe, the level of confrontation will be surpassed by Africa, and the ratings and mass base will be surpassed by China...

But as long as there are superstars and one after another that can support the league, the NBA will always be the highest temple of world basketball, the pearl on the crown. "

"So, you mean, want to win the dragon? Is it too early for him to enjoy the treatment of a star now?" Silva asked, "If he doesn't have the strength of a star, it will be counterproductive." -"

"Then this is also a lucrative business. Adam, you have to remember that he is not only a rookie who has performed fieryly, he is also the darling in the eyes of the Chinese people.

Why was Yao able to overwhelm Shaq in the All-Star starting position?You haven't seen how huge the value of the Huaxia market behind him is. "

David Stern understands very well that even if Zhang Bolong will not become a superstar, a football star, or even just be a role player,
As long as he is still in this league, he will continue to bring China's attention and enthusiasm for basketball here.

What value is this?
"Then why don't we just praise Yao directly? Now Yao is already the number one center in the league, and he has enough strength." Silva asked again.

David Stern suddenly began to wonder whether his decision to train him as his successor was a little ill-considered.

This kid is out of shape!
"Because he's not that handsome."

After speaking coldly, Stern got up from the office and left, leaving Silva who was still thinking about the deep meaning of the president.

……

About Zhang Bolong's position in the league and his future whistle-blowing treatment were initially finalized by Stern after this game. At this time, the Lakers have returned to Los Angeles and are preparing for the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves the day after tomorrow. .

Minnesota used to be the base of the Lakers. Under the leadership of the ancient beast George McCann, the Lakers created the first dynasty in NBA history here, winning five championships in six years.

Therefore, fans have been full of expectations for the Timberwolves from the very beginning.

However, the reality disappointed them to the extreme. In the years since the team was established in 1989, the team has never been established... The domineering and fierce wolf on the team logo looks more and more like A fierce husky.

The turning point came in the 1995 draft, when Timberwolves general manager Kevin McHale boldly selected 5-year-old high school player Kevin Garnett with the fifth overall pick in the first round.

From then on, the "Wolf King" came and soon led the team to the playoffs and was selected as an All-Star.

Here, KG won everything for himself except the record: the MVP trophy, the love of the fans, the status of the leader, the largest contract in the league...

But the NBA is a commercial and utilitarian league after all. Competitive sports can only speak with results. If you can’t catch the picky and forgetful eyes with superhuman performance or constant lace news, then it’s very normal to be forgotten in the corner. .

Except for the 2003-2004 season when Garnett won the MVP, this Timberwolves first stopped in the first round for 7 consecutive years, and then failed to even reach the threshold of the playoffs the year before and last year.

The "Wolf King" who once shocked the alliance has gradually moved away from people's sight.

Anyone can see that the relationship between Garnett and the Timberwolves has reached a precarious moment.

"Why don't you think of a way to beat the Timberwolves? I assure you, KG is no longer a commodity for the Timberwolves."

Zhang Bolong and Kobe walked out of the training hall shoulder to shoulder.

He also just found out that the old sand in the team - Salmond Williams turned out to be Garnett's cousin.

And Kobe and Evans are also good friends of Garnett for many years.

Coupled with the fact that I have acquainted with him once, no team is more suitable for KG than the Lakers.

What will it be like for these two top superstars who are at their peak and both offensive and defensive to join forces?
The entire alliance will tremble for it, the picture is too beautiful to imagine!

When Kobe and Garnett get old after a few consecutive championships, Zhang Bolong's shooting ability should also reach the peak level. Who was the boss of the Lakers at that time, let alone 5 or 8?

"Of course I know that." Kobe glanced at Zhang Bolong, "The management there is not good enough for KG, he has spent enough time in the ice and snow."

"Then why didn't you contact him?" Zhang Bolong asked.

"You know, Long, I will not take the initiative to invite others to help me." Kobe said, "If he is willing to come, I welcome it. To be honest, I will be very happy, but it is him who comes to play with me."

The proud king mamba raised its head: "It's not me begging him to join me."

Zhang Bolong rolled his eyes, "You are a tsundere monster who wants to save face and suffer. You deserve to be bloodbathed at 39 points in the future."

"What 39 points?"

"I said you can score 39 points tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Zhang Bolong met Freeman who was waiting for him in the coffee shop downstairs of the apartment.

"My best guy, didn't expect your NBA career to start so well, that three-pointer was unforgettable, I mean it, you made me proud, thank you again for introducing you to me."

"Yes, thanks to Uncle Lan, I can have a manager like you. You have helped me a lot during this time."

Zhang Bolong replied politely.

Freeman is indeed very capable. He can complete the tasks assigned to him by Zhang Bolong very well, including the acquisition of shares in Apple and Google. You must know that many things cannot be done with money.

The charismatic black old man took a sip of his coffee, then smiled and took out several contracts: "Nike, Adidas, AJ, Puma and Reebok have all expressed strong interest in signing with you, and there is also a company that specializes in football. The shoe company has also offered you an olive branch, although they are not well-known enough, but I think the development prospects of this company are worth looking forward to, and they have also given quite generous treatment."

"Which one is it?" Zhang Bolong asked.

"UA, Under Armour."

"Um……"

Zhang Bolong felt his hotness again. He thought for a while, and suddenly asked curiously: "What about our Huaxia brands, such as Anta, Hongxing Erke, etc. Have you contacted us?"

"No, in fact, you may be a good choice in the future with domestic leading brands, but they don't have enough ability and financial resources to let you speak for them. If you want to choose a Huaxia brand, I can help you, but I need to be clear, it's not going to help you in the NBA."

The old man's voice is so magnetic, Zhang Bolong always likes to listen to his speech, even the most common language, it seems to have a bit of philosophy when it comes out of his mouth.
