NBA Backer King Chapter 158

   Chapter 158

   At this time, on CCTV in Sijiucheng, the Sports Ministry was holding a meeting.

The topic of the    meeting was whether to buy the copyright of this year's NBA Finals.

   This year, the All-Star Game was broadcast in real time, and the ratings were not bad, and the response was also good, so now considering whether to broadcast the upcoming finals in real time, it is also a matter of smooth sailing.

The first NBA news on CCTV was in 1982. The news sources obtained from British TV stations began to record and broadcast NBA games in 1986. Over the past few years, some fans have still accumulated, so it is also the current situation to consider real-time broadcast. wherever.

   Another reason to consider live streaming the NBA Finals this year is because of Wang Tiejun.

   Now that the Suns have reached the Western Conference Finals, Wang Tiejun is China's first NBA player, and he is the main force of the Suns. Once the Suns reach the finals, it will always be a pity if CCTV does not broadcast this year's finals in real time.

   Once the Suns can win the championship, this regret will be very big.

   In fact, whether CCTV will broadcast the finals in real time is not an idea that only came out this year. It has been there for a long time, but it has not been decided yet, and now there is a Wang Tiejun, which is an important factor that has contributed to the transformation of this idea into a practical decision.

   "Let's talk about it, this matter can't be delayed, and we have to talk to the NBA first. Once it is broadcast in real time, the copyright fee can't be too expensive." Sports Minister Li Zhuang said.

   "Minister, we really want to broadcast the finals in real time. Once the Suns reach the finals, we will definitely promote Wang Tiejun with great fanfare. There should be no problem with the Sports Committee, right?" Someone asked.

   "Once it is broadcast, it will definitely be publicized. We Chinese are playing in the NBA. Those fans don't know it yet. Are they still happy to know?"

   "Now other domestic media have not reported on the NBA, we can actually seize this opportunity."

Li Zhuang shook his head and said, "There is definitely no problem with the Sports Committee. In fact, Wang Tiejun has nothing to do with the Sports Committee. He can't control others, let alone us. Moreover, they are all watching, maybe one day Liu Chu will have to go to the United States. What. Old Sun, tell me about Wang Tiejun's current performance."

"OK."

  Sun Zhenping nodded, looked at his colleagues present, and said, "I got Wang Tiejun's performance in the first and second rounds from Director Zhang.

   It's really good. The lowest evaluation of him in the United States is a quasi-first-class center, and the highest is a first-class center. No center in China can reach this level, including Dan Tao. "

   Having said this, he looked at Li Zhuang, Li Zhuang nodded, and then said: "Everyone, what I said just now is correct, the Sports Commission really doesn't know that one day it will have to go to someone else.

   Besides, there is no rule in China that says that people with prison records cannot be reported, right? They are players, playing games, not enlisting in the army, nor working in government departments. "

   When he said this, he said meaningfully: "I have talked to Liu Chu several times, and she also said that Wang Tiejun's case should be wronged, but no witnesses were found for four months. At that time, he was eager to close the case, so he was sentenced.

After this, if this young man makes a name for himself in the United States, and the country needs him, there is no guarantee that the relevant departments will not take action. It is just a case of fighting and hurting people, and no one is killed, only two gangsters are maimed, and There are no third-party witnesses, which is really bad!

   Now it has been re-opened, the environment has changed, people play in the United States, they have made a name for themselves, and they have influence in the United States. "

   Everyone discussed it for a while, and finally decided that if the Suns reach the finals, then the finals will be broadcast live.

  This decision is actually only a year ahead of schedule, because in the original history, CCTV will also broadcast the NBA All-Star and Finals in real time next year, that is, in 1994.

   "Minister, if we broadcast the finals, will Director Zhang invite him as a guest again?" After the meeting, Sun Zhenping found Li Zhuang again.

   "He has been following Wang Tiejun, right?" Li Zhuang asked.

   "Yes, I heard that Wang Tiejun offered him a salary of $20,000 to $30,000 for half a year."

   "His!"

  Li Zhuang gasped, he now only earns a few thousand yuan a year? Twenty or thirty thousand dollars is enough to buy a house in Sijiucheng.

   "I heard that Wang Tiejun has made millions of dollars in the United States this year." Sun Zhenping said enviously.

   "His!"

  The astronomical figure. Li Zhuang feels a toothache. With his current knowledge, it is hard to imagine that a basketball player can earn millions of dollars in a year.

  Several million US dollars, which is tens of millions of RMB. At the current wage level in the four and nine cities, that is the annual income of tens of thousands of people. It can only be accumulated without eating or drinking.

  Sun Zhenping said jokingly: "Let's not say anything else, the country is seriously short of foreign exchange right now. As far as the dollars in his hands are, if he brings back all of them to support the country's development, I don't think there is any problem in turning his case over."

"Don't say it, as long as his dollars are brought back and put on the account, someone will definitely look for him. But we won't talk about this matter, it has nothing to do with us. Old Sun, Director Zhang, continue to invite him. He I am most familiar with Wang Tiejun, and then I am familiar with the NBA. There is no problem in English. The basketball office in the United States also asks him for help with anything, so we will ask him." Li Zhuang said.

   "Okay, then I'll inform him." Sun Zhenping nodded.

  Phoenix, at about 11 am on the 19th, Wang Tiejun slept until he woke up naturally.

"very hungry!"

   quickly got up, washed up and went downstairs, Zhang Lili was preparing lunch.

   "Brother Zhang, do you have anything to eat?"

   "There's bread and milk there, top it first."

"Row."

   "Good news, do you want to know?" Zhang Lili said at this time.

   took a look at Zhang Lili, with a look of uncontrollable excitement, he guessed and said, "Someone asked you to be a personal trainer?"

   "Uh, not yet."

   Zhang Lei shook his head regretfully.

  Sun Zhenping told him that CCTV would continue to invite him, and he had made up his mind to develop his career as a professional commentator.

   I used to do it when I was the head coach of the BJ youth team, and there are many players in the NBA who have done this after retiring. He can try it.

   And now no one in China is more familiar with the NBA than him. He has an advantage in this regard, and it has a huge advantage.

   "You are the World Championship MVP, don't worry, someone will invite you sooner or later." Pharaoh comforted.

   "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, I may really want to change career as a commentator in the future." Lao Zhang shook his head.

   "I'm not here to invite you, and it's not that I won't pay you, why should I change careers in a hurry?" Old Wang said in surprise.

   "I think it's a pity that the level can't keep up with the level of the NBA. I'm embarrassed to take so much money from you." Lao Zhang asked.

   "Indeed, why don't you refund half of my money." Old Wang said quickly.

Lao Zhang reluctantly rolled his eyes, ignoring this, it is impossible to refund, that is my house money, he said: "What I said is that CCTV may broadcast this finals in real time, as long as you have the sun. The team can make it to the finals.”

   "Really?" Old Wang was a little surprised.

   "This is for you. You are now in the sight of domestic basketball fans." Lao Zhang said happily.

   "There are a few basketball fans in China. I think there may be fewer than in Japan." He said.

   "We have so many people, how could it be less than Japan? It's just relatively speaking, it's not as popular as football, and there are still a lot of fans, otherwise CCTV will spend a lot of money on copyright?" Lao Zhang said.

   nodded, and he said: "It seems that I have to work harder to reach the finals, so that my home can also see my game."

   "Play well and become famous in one fell swoop." Lao Zhang encouraged.

   But he said again: "If you want your family to watch the finals, you have to let your parents go to Sijiucheng."

   "Why?" he asked.

   "There is a shortage of electricity in rural areas, and there are power outages every three weeks and five times, and you can't afford to buy a TV of that size if the voltage is not enough." Lao Zhang said.

   "That's fine, I'll call home and ask my parents to go to BJ and stay in a hotel?" he said.

   "Yes, find a high-end hotel, there is no TV in the normal hotel room."

   "Okay, then I'll let my eldest sister and second sister do it." He said.

   He thought about it again, went back to the living room and called Lance Hawksman, and talked about CCTV's possible broadcast of the finals.

   "Old K, this news is great!"

Hoxman over there was excited when he heard it, and immediately analyzed it for him: "If CCTV officially broadcasts NBA games, it will be able to have a greater influence in China in the future, which means that you can also be in your country. Have influence and visibility, and that's your business value.

  I have to inform Mr. Jaymarone and Mammoth about this matter. Once the NBA expands in China, we need to re-plan to promote your plan in China and Asia. "

   Comrade Lao Wang pouted, he has no interest in this promotion plan, he fooled him once, and would you like to fool him a second time?

   Within ten minutes of hanging up the phone, someone from Mammoth Company sent him three boxes of his signature sneakers, a total of 48 pairs, which were his consumables for the next period of time.

   On average, including the usual training, he wears six or seven pairs a week and consumes one pair a day on average, all provided by Mammoth.

   After having lunch and resting for an hour, with the help of Zhang Lili, he conducted flexibility and speed training, and practiced shooting and ball control for another hour, and the afternoon was over.

   Although I practiced for an afternoon, the amount of training is not very large. Except for the speed training, the other trainings are not very physical.

   It was almost five o'clock, and Lao Zhang went to prepare dinner again.

   He sat in the backyard to rest, turned on the system and took a look. The speed increased from level 60 to level 61.

   "There should be bonus points, right?"

   took another look at the points, and sure enough, the system awarded 500 points for reaching the Western Conference Finals, and now there are 900 points.

   "System, exchange for a skill optimization card, I want to optimize ball control," he said.

   "Exchange begins, exchange completes, optimization begins... Optimization ends, data transfer begins..."

   Soon, the transmission is over and his basic ball-handling skills are updated.

  The new ball control technology combines the current physical condition, the ability of man and ball to be one, and the ability to protect the ball is increased.

"Basic ball-handling skill level has been raised from 63 to 75, low-post back play has been raised from 90 to 92, low-surface basket has been raised from 60 to 63, the offensive ability has been raised from 92 to 93, and the close-range attack has been raised from 92 to 93. Level 85 to level 86."

   "Better than nothing." He sighed.

   After doing the math, he has spent 7,700 points, 2,300 points away from 10,000.

   "There are only 400 points left. I hope to win the Western Conference Championship. The championship points reward should be indispensable, otherwise the offseason will not be enough!"

   The next day, on the 20th, the G6 battle between Mosaic and the Supersonic went on as scheduled.

   The Supersonic's score is too average. After a game, the highest score is only 14 points. This is actually a big advantage, because it will make the Mosaic team's defense more difficult, and it is difficult to focus on one point.

   But unfortunately, he didn't feel very good tonight. He made 3 of 14 three-pointers, and the overall shooting rate was only 42.9%, while the Mosaic team was 55.1%.

   In the end, the Mosaic team won, and the score was tied three times, and the two sides entered the tiebreaker.

   But the one who made the Mosaic team win was not the core dream Olajuwon, but Kenny Smith, the master of the Jets.

  Kenny Smith made 13 of 16 shots, a shooting rate of 81.3%, and 4 of 6 three-pointers, scored 30 points, and led the team to tie the big score.

  Dream scored 14 points and 10 rebounds in 39 minutes, the lowest score among the five main players.

   He shot 7-for-13 from the field with a decent percentage of 53.8%, but played without aggression and didn't get a free throw, his third zero free throw in the second-round series.

   In this crucial game where he will be eliminated if he loses, Da Meng did not play a central and crucial role, which made him widely criticized by the media.

   On the second day, because the other second round games were over, the attention of the major media was all on this game, and the big dream was the first to bear the brunt of it.

   Among them, the name of Wang Tiejun also appeared from time to time.

"The crucial G6 battle, this is a battle of life and death, but the Mosaic team only made 10 free throws, while the Supersonics made 19. The Mosaic team can win the game, all rely on the touch, Olajuwon's contribution in it It can be ignored, he is almost invisible in the audience. Old K said it well, Da Meng is indeed a super center who is good at jagged jumpers." New York Sports Daily.

ABC TV said in Sports News: "Olajuwon averaged 7 free throws per game in the regular season this season. After entering the playoffs, the number of free throws per game dropped to 5.5, if not for a free throw in the first round. The number of times reaches 20, and this number will be lower, maybe only three or four times, which is comparable to an ordinary point guard.

   And he averaged only 4.4 free throws per game in the second-round series, and only a measly 3 free throws in the last four games combined, three of which have a total of zero free throws.

   What does this mean? It means that his lethality has dropped significantly. He is really good at it, and he is getting better and better at the iron-blooded jump shot that Old K said. "

   "Shet!"

   Every time I see these news, Da Meng, who was scolded bloody, groaned in anger.

   Teams should criticize him when they lose, and they should also criticize him when they win. Does the media still have a bottom line? Damn old K, you dunk every ball, how many years can you play?

   After two consecutive days of rest, Wang Tiejun felt that his body's fatigue was greatly reduced, and his vitality began to recover. But to really recover, this time is not enough.

   The next day, on the morning of the 21st, a reporter from TNT called him to interview him.

   "Old K, who do you think will win the tiebreaker tomorrow?"

   "SuperSonics, I'm not optimistic about Team Mosaic."

"why?"

   "Because there is a soft egg dream there."

   "Puff!"

   After this interview, he received a lot of phone interviews from the media, and some media outside the villa wanted to interview him.

   When he answered questions, he was quite explosive, and now he is very popular with the media.

   No. 22, the second round match day.

   On this day, Wang Tiejun's interview was published in newspapers or TV sports news by major media.

   "Old K, you slander me, I'm not finished with you!"

   After seeing the news, Da Meng, who was so angry, gritted his teeth.

   Now the media has put two labels on him, one is a big jumper, and the other is a soft egg dream. Damn, does this fit his style? It's similar to David Robinson's soft egg.

   To be honest, he would rather have the label of Old K's violent person than these two labels.

   Fortunately, these two labels are not his alone, David Robinson did not run away, Ewing is better, only the label of Jagged Jumper.

   Now because of these news, he has refused all media interviews. The media is full of negative news about him. The sales of his signature sneakers have plummeted.

   That night, the tiebreaker between Mosaic and Supersonic began.

   "Today I will see how Da Meng loses. I bet that he will definitely attack the basket this time, and if he has to make a jumper outside, he will not be able to mess around."

   In the living room, Wang Tiejun arranged melon seeds and peanuts, ready to watch the play and eat melons.

  Old Zhang calmly analyzed: "The Mosaic team and the SuperSonics have the same regular-season record, but the SuperSonics have a better record against Mosaic and occupy the home field advantage, which may ultimately affect the result."

  If what he said, in the end, the SuperSonics took advantage of the home game to defeat the Mosaic team in the tiebreaker and reached the Western Conference Finals.

   In the first quarter, Da Meng frequently hit the basket and led the team to end the first quarter with a 26-20 lead.

   In the second quarter, the Mosaic team continued to perform well, with a score of 22:18, leading by 10 points at halftime.

   But the situation changed in the third quarter. The SuperSonics played a crazy offense and scored 35 points in a single quarter, while the Mosaic team was stunned. They only scored 22 points in a single quarter and lost 3 points in three quarters.

   In the last quarter, the Mosaic team worked hard to catch up. At 23:20, they finally equalized the score, tied at 93, and the two sides entered overtime.

  Unfortunately, at the end of overtime, the two sides played a score of 7:10, and the SuperSonics had the last laugh.

   "Look, I'm right, Ruandanmeng just can't beat Supersonic, who let him fish in the first few games?" Old Wang laughed.

Lao Zhang said: "7 of 15 shots, 46.7% from the field, 9 of 10 free throws, 23 points, 17 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, Da Meng's performance is really good, but unfortunately the shooting rate is a little lower. His attack is very tight, if the touch is a little better, the Mosaic team will win."

   He said: "It took 50 minutes to take 15 shots, which should be lower than the average number of shots he took in the playoffs."

Lao Zhang reminded: "Tie Jun, you must pay attention to rebounding when you play against the Supersonics. This time they grabbed 51, and the Mosaic team only had 38, which is 13 behind. It can be said that if you lose, you will lose on the rebound. Today, grab more. A few rebounds, it's hard for the Mosaic team to lose."

   He was surprised, he hadn't noticed this yet, and after a bit of calculation, he said, "Da Meng grabbed 17 of them alone, and the others added up to only 21, which is too bad, right?"

Lao Zhang said: "The main reason is that the Mosaic team's bench lineup is not good, and the rebounds are too few. I did a calculation. The Mosaic team rotated ten people, and the 5 substitutes only grabbed 7 rebounds, while the SuperSonics had 9 rotations and 4 rebounds. The bench grabbed 15.

   The same is true for you, the bench lineup is not good, if there is a problem, it is likely to be in the bench lineup. "
