The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 149 2K and live player ratings

"It's really interesting."

"I'm looking forward to Yao being healthy now."

"A Li Xun is not my opponent at all. I think I can fight against the Twin Towers alone."

When O'Neill was interviewed, he said with ease and joy.

James next to him is obviously not as relaxed as O'Neill.

Now James feels as if he is dreaming.

He felt the Pistons were targeting him.

That's right, the Pistons' new lineup seems to be completely aimed at themselves.

The previous Li Xun, at least James can bear it.

Well now, not only has Yao Ming been brought in, but Artest has also been brought in.

The ranking of the strongest small forwards in the league, excluding Li Xun, a pseudo-small forward with a flexible position, Corey Maggette and James should be tied for first place.

It is no exaggeration to say that Maggette's muscles are works of art.

Others have muscles on their bodies, but he is the muscles themselves.

But Maggette's defense is not good, so his muscles are in vain.

In addition to Maggette and James, the strongest small forward is Artest.

Strong and defensive.

The key point is that his mind is still a little out of order, maybe there will be a sudden outbreak of violence on the field and find someone to fight.

He should be regarded as the best small forward candidate for defending James in the league today, even more suitable than the current Iguodala.

Needless to say, Li Xun now has Yao Ming and Artest.

James felt bitter and tired.

How to play against the Pistons this season?
Pistons This is simply the ultimate torture lineup.

……

Time flies, and it has entered late September.

Since Li Xun returned to Detroit, he has not been idle.

First of all, the barbecue restaurant jointly established with Ah Lian Sun Yue has successfully opened.

On the day of the opening, Li Xun invited several veterans who had good relationships with the team to eat in the store.

It's like advertising yourself for free.

Not to mention, this kind of casual way of drinking skewers and drinking beer is very popular with these old guys.

There is no loud music like a nightclub, a group of old guys can brag loudly and reminisce about the glory of the past.

As for profitability, after all, it is a cheap restaurant, and it doesn't make much money.

Li Xun also wanted to have fun.

In addition to barbecue restaurants, Li Xun has also received countless endorsement invitations.

During the previous season, Li Xun pushed back all the contracts except for one contract with Li Ning.

Because Li Xun signed the contract at that time, it was not worthwhile.

Now he can be considered to have played out completely, and he has become a super star in the league. The value of this endorsement is gradually rising.

Before that, countless agents contacted Li Xun, wanting to sign Li Xun.

As long as Li Xun can be signed, it will definitely be a cash cow and a treasure trove. Which agent would not be tempted?

It's just that Li Xun was not interested in the agent at the time, because he didn't have any endorsement contracts.

The only thing that needs to be signed is the player contract, which is a standard contract, and there is no need for an agent to negotiate with the team.

Of course, some players still need it, such as negotiating with the team on the starting guarantee terms and so on.

Li Xun definitely doesn't need it. The Pistons won't let him start, and the fans will definitely be the first to say no.

Now Li Xun wants to take advantage of the offseason to sign more endorsements and pay more, so it is more important to find a suitable agent.

In the end, Li Xun chose Dan Fagan.

Fagan is not the agent with the strongest qualifications in the league, not even ranked in the top five.

The reason why Li Xun chose him was entirely because of Fagan's unique ability.

There are two classic operations in his economic career. One is the previous signing of Arenas, which led to the introduction of the Arenas clause in the league.

The other is Chandler Parsons signing with the Grizzlies with a maximum salary.

The Grizzlies' $9400 million is almost in vain.

You must know that before Parsons went to the Grizzlies, his performance was actually not enough for the threshold of the maximum salary. It was precisely because of Fagan's penetrating tongue that the Grizzlies were impressed.

It can be seen that Fagan's ability is really good, at least he can protect the interests of the players to the greatest extent.

After signing the contract with Fagan, Li Xun endorsed more than ten contracts non-stop in the next month, and he was either taking pictures or shooting commercials every day.

What particularly interested Li Xun was the game NBAlive.

The two most popular basketball games are 2K and live. 2K will be the cover player for next season, and they chose Kobe.

Although Li Xun's topicality has always been high, but in terms of popularity and influence, he is definitely far inferior to Kobe.

The original cover player on NBAlive was Howard, but this endorsement was dug up by Fagan, and the cover player became Li Xun.

2K debuted a few years later than live, but latecomers prevailed. After 05, they began to exceed the number of live players.

However, Li Xun in his previous life still preferred to play the old version of live, especially the 05 version, and he never got tired of playing it for more than ten years.

Now that he has the opportunity to be the cover player of his favorite game, of course Li Xun will not miss it.

When the new versions of the two games were launched before the start of the season in late September, Li Xun was dumbfounded.

The ratings given to him by the two games are worlds apart.

The score given by live is 98 points, Kobe is 97 points, and James is also 97 points, which means that live gave Li Xun the highest score in the league.

Obviously live is making trouble.

On the other hand, 2K gave Li Xun a score of 92.

This is even more outrageous. You must know that Granger has scored 93 points this year, and Rondo has given 90 points.

Li Xun is not one star better than Granger, whether it is personal ability or team leadership results, it is by no means comparable to Granger.

2K gave Kobe and James 99 points, and Chris Paul 98 points.

When it came to Li Xun, it dropped directly to 92.

Obviously 2K is also doing something.

Li Xun knew with his big toe that he might be drawn into the vortex of public opinion again.

These two games probably started talking about Li Xun's ratings.

……

After completing the endorsement contract, Li Xun suddenly found that nearly 3000 million US dollars had been deposited in his account!
$3000 million after taxes!

This is because the next season's salary will not be paid to Li Xun at one time, otherwise he must have at least 4000 million cash in his hand.

It's a bit busy, but the speed of making money is really amazing.

Seeing that the new season is about to start, Li Xun asked Fagan to suspend his business activities, and he was going to devote all his energy to the next game.

On September 9, Li Xun appeared at the Pistons' training ground.

There are still three days left before the start of the preseason, and the players in the training ground are training in full swing.

Yao Ming is still recovering from his injuries, but he will definitely come to Detroit to report in the next few days.

When the time comes, Li Xun is going to use the golden gun bullet for him, trying to get him to play as soon as possible.

"Huh? Where's Curry?"

Li Xun glanced at the court, but he didn't see Curry.

"Boss, the coach has run away, don't you know?"

"He was scooped up to the Los Angeles Clippers."

Little Jordan hurried up to tell Li Xun.

Li Xun nodded with a wry smile. He knew about it. Before Michael Curry left, he made a special call to Li Xun.

No way, the Clippers gave too much.

They gave a three-year contract of 3 million US dollars, almost four times the contract of the Pistons!
Idiots also know how to choose. Michael Curry made less than 1200 million in his entire playing career.

"I'm not talking about Michael Curry, I'm talking about Stephen Curry."

Li Xun continued to ask.

"Huh? That baby face?"

"Yesterday, I was injured during training in the team, but the injury is not serious, and I should be able to return in half a month."

Little Jordan seemed to have something unspeakable to hide, he hesitated to speak.

Li Xun is an idiot, so he didn't notice Little Jordan's abnormality.

Curry was injured in a team training match, which is indeed a bit unlucky. Li Xun also knows that Curry was often injured in the early stages of his career.

If they had been in a healthy state, the Warriors would not have been able to sign the child labor contract with Curry.
