Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 894 Mark Tatum’s visit

There was no talk all night, and at dawn the next day, Li Tian woke up early due to this damn biological clock. There was no professional training place here, so he could only get up early and go for a run.

Just as he was about to go out for a run, he saw a sleepy Teacher Huang.

"Teacher Huang, good morning!" I said hello and got ready to go out for a run.

"Morning!" Still rubbing his eyes.

An hour later, back from running.

Teacher Huang is the only one who is awake in the yard. Everyone else is still sleeping, especially Xiao Yueyue, who is snoring so loudly that it can be heard in the yard.

"How was Li Tian's rest last night?" Lai Yangyang's teacher Huang asked.

"I rested well. I have long been accustomed to this kind of environment. After all, I spend a lot of time on the plane. Even when playing away games, I sometimes have to endure noise that is louder than this. I have to force myself to rest well."

This is all child's play. Think about playing away games in Boston back then, the noise was also loud. If you are a person with a bad mentality, a complete collapse is possible.

"That's true. You are really tired. Do you like life here?" the teacher asked.

"Haha, this life is indeed the life I long for. I have been living like this for the past two years." Li Tian was still a little unfamiliar with how to cooperate, so he could only answer bluntly.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Yueyue arrived late.

"Good morning!"

A few people chatted casually, had breakfast, and prepared to leave.

"Brother Li, when are you going to listen to cross talk at my place so I can prepare in advance?" Xiao Yueyue would not give up easily. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know how to call Li Tian. He originally wanted to call him the same as the fans. Brother Tian, ​​but I felt it was a bit inappropriate, so I finally called him Brother Li.

"Xiao Yueyue, don't call me Brother Li. Just call me Li Tian. You are older than me. Now I can't bear to call me brother."

Li Tianzhen felt that this title of Xiao Yueyue was inappropriate and quickly stopped it again.

"Is it appropriate to call him Li Tian?" Xiao Yueyue knew that he was living now. The key was that compared with the other party, the gap was not that big.

"It's okay, just call me that. I'm going back to the capital today, when the time comes."

Just in the middle of speaking, I heard the phone ring.

"Brother Yao, what are you doing?" He saw that it was Yao Ming's phone number. Why was he contacting him at this time? At the same time, he gave Xiao Yueyue an apologetic look.

"It was Mark Tatum who contacted me and hoped to meet you."

"Tatum wants to meet with me. What's going on? Why does he want to meet with me?" He was a little surprised. Fortunately, he still remembered who Tatum was, otherwise he might not even pay attention to him.

"Not only is the NBA's ratings declining severely, but the ticket sales revenue of each team is also declining. If it weren't for Kobe Bryant's retirement tour, maybe this year would be even more bleak."

Yao Ming briefly talked about the current situation of the league after he retired. The ratings have dropped seriously. The broadcast rights in China have not been negotiated. At the same time, the broadcasters in the beautiful country have also stopped working.

They all asked to re-sign the contract, otherwise they may forcefully terminate the contract. The fans have reached a point where they can't bear the league's manipulation of the game.

Because the joke was that after Li Tian was manipulated to win the championship that year, he felt a little unwilling. He manipulated the finals again last season, but it still failed. In the end, the Warriors won the championship.

Although the jokes have changed this season, it is difficult to reverse the fans' impression of him, especially after Li Tian retired, the fans' desire to watch live football games has also dropped a lot.

Kobe was injured, and the stars of the 96 generation have basically retired, with Kobe alone supporting him; the platinum generation of 03 was also the generation crushed by Li Tian. James, Anthony, Bosh and others all had no chance of winning the championship. Only Wei Germany won the championship alone.

James was originally the one to carry the championship after Kobe, but he didn't win a championship. What could he use to carry the championship? The original future star Rose had fallen, and Li Tian retired directly.

It can be said that there is a gap among NBA stars. George, Arab League, Durant, Curry, Westbrook, Harden, Cousins ​​and others have not really grown up yet.

Even though the Warriors finally won the championship last season, fans said that it was a championship they picked up. Because Li Tian retired, they had a chance to win a championship.

During the interview, Curry was asked what he thought of this statement. He did not make any reply. When the reporter asked again after the start of the new season, he only said, "You can look at him in the Olympics." His performance shows everything!”

The facts are the facts, and Curry has no excuse.

"Then why did he and I meet?"

"What else could it be? I hope you can come back, but I seem to have heard recently that you are preparing to start playing badminton?" Yao Ming asked curiously. This news was something he had just heard. "Yes, I had this idea, and the Badminton Association also invited me, hoping that I could participate as a special guest, and I agreed. The stop happened to be in Lucheng, held at my gym, which is relatively close to my home."

Li Tian was strongly invited by Lin Dan. In order to increase promotion efforts, the Badminton Association will certainly not miss such an opportunity. No matter whether he plays well or not, as long as he participates, he can expand his influence.

"Do you really want to change your career?" Yao Ming doesn't want this, but if he retires for a long time, his body's muscle strength will definitely decline, so it's not impossible to do so.

"It's just to check it out, and it's also to promote my training center. I can't help but my income will be less after I retire, so I still have to promote it to earn milk powder money for my children." Li Tiandao.

Yao Ming was speechless for a while and almost lost his phone in shock. You still need to earn money for your child's milk powder, so stop making trouble.

"Do you want to meet with him? He contacted Kobe and George, but they were unwilling to give you their contact information, so he contacted me, hoping that I could help him."

"Let's meet. The current alliance is no longer the alliance during Stern's time. We still need to consider it carefully." The reason why Li Tian retired was because he had no opponents, and on the other hand he was targeted and manipulated by the alliance. Game, this kind of game is really impossible to watch.

"Okay, where are you now?" Yao Ming felt this was an opportunity.

However, in his heart, he still does not want Li Tian to return to the NBA, because that will affect the domestic league, but it will not be so friendly to the improvement of the national basketball strength. This is a dilemma.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Yueyue. It may take two days to go to the cross talk show. I have something to do right now. Otherwise, I will contact you in advance. What do you think?" I'm a little apologetic. I just agreed to go there soon, but now Have to push back again.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's leave our contact information. You can contact me at any time, but it's best one or two days in advance. After all, I have to discuss it with my master in advance. I'm worried that my master is not in the capital."

Xiao Yueyue said with a smile, while not forgetting to leave his contact information.

"Sorry, I will contact you in advance."

I originally planned to go back to Lucheng directly after finishing the program, but now I estimate that I will stay in Lucheng for a few more days, so I can only call home and explain in advance to save my mother from getting caught and beaten again.

Three days later, Tatum came to the capital, and the two met in a conference room.

"Lee, I'm sorry to disturb your life, but this is unavoidable. I hope you won't take it off!" Tatum was also helpless, but he was happy in his heart.

He had already prepared this matter in advance when Joke was randomly calling the game, but he had been enduring it. Now that the opportunity came, he immediately took action.

"Mr. Vice President, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly. I have to go back to Lucheng to participate in the badminton match, and I'm already pressed for time there."

Li Tian looked a little impatient.

Tatum's heart skipped a beat. If Li Tianzhen really chose badminton and made a name for himself there, it would be hard to say whether he would be willing to return to the NBA.

"Lee, let's not talk secretly. The alliance needs you to return now. What does the alliance need to do to return?" Tatum knew that he had to make a statement in advance at this time. The conditions he had prepared to offer before now did not have any meaning.

"The request is very simple. The league apologizes to me and admits that there was game manipulation in the league. At the same time, I feel that such a person is somewhat unfit to remain in the position of president."

In fact, there is no need to mention the latter request. Everyone understands that Tatum came here hoping that he could become the new president of the league, otherwise there would be no need for him to come at all.

"No, no, no, Lee, the league must not admit to manipulating the game, otherwise the entire league will be doomed." Tatum shook his head quickly. This kind of thing must never be made public.

"We can give you Jordan's treatment, but we must not announce that matter, otherwise the league will be over." Tatum knows that once the league is announced, it will be over.

"Then I need it." Li Tian also knew that the other party would never agree to the condition just now.

"No, no, no, Lee, your request is really too much. It is impossible for the league to accept it." Tatum shook his head again and continued to broadcast for free. How could those capitalists agree? Although they had not talked much before , but that’s a lot of money.

"I can make some concessions, but..., I have already made concessions. If the alliance still pushes forward, I think our negotiations will have no meaning." Concessions are needed, but toughness is even more necessary.

"Okay, I need to go back to New York and discuss it with them." Tatum knows that this will definitely be the final result. It is really not that easy to change, but the conditions have been set. As for whether to agree, that depends Those bosses.

The worst thing is still the owner of the Kings. The market value of the team he bought for 13 billion is continuing to decline. The original talents in the team have also begun to ask for trades. It has only been more than a year since the team defended the championship, and it will be rebuilt next. , he made a big loss.

"No problem. I'm waiting for the alliance's reply. I hope it can be given to me as soon as possible, because it will take time for me to recover." Li Tian's pursuit was still a little tight.

"Okay, but can you not participate in the badminton match, because..." Halfway through, Tatum suddenly realized that he couldn't find any reason.

"No, I have already promised the other party and I will never break my promise. I hope to get a reply as soon as possible."

The negotiations are over.
