NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

After Carlisle announced that Lin Tian sprained his ankle in an incredible way and therefore needed to be out for 1-2 weeks, Lin Tian did not appear at the team's training ground again, and he began a happy rest time.

In the past few days when Lin Tian was resting, the Pacers' record was somewhat poor.

Without Lin Tian, ​​they seemed to suddenly no longer know how to play. They played very poorly in several consecutive games!
Before the All-Star Game, the Pacers played a total of 5 games. The team only had a pitiful 1 win and 4 losses. The Magic behind them also exerted their strength again. They were only one step away from catching up with the Pacers. Far away!
Fortunately, at this time, the All-Star Game began and all games were suspended. The Pacers got a chance to breathe and take a good rest before continuing their season.

Many people believe that if it were not for the All-Star Game, the Pacers would definitely be surpassed by the Magic and fall back to second place in the Eastern Conference!

Just two days before the start of the All-Star Weekend, which was also the day when Carter, Webber and Miller of the Pacers left for Washington to participate in the All-Star Game, Stern called Lin Tian.

"Lin, you bastard! You didn't come to the All-Star Weekend! Do you know how much ratings this will cost the league? Do you believe that I asked the referees to target you, so that you won't get a single free throw in the second half of the season!"

"Mr. President, I'm recording, you'd better pay attention to your words!" Lin Tian curled his lips, and what was supposed to come has indeed come!

Stern was also tolerant enough. Lin Tian originally thought that as soon as the news of his injury came out, Stern would have to call to question him. Unexpectedly, he could endure it until the start of the All-Star Game.

"Record it, you damn bastard! I thought you were just resting for two days and would come back during the All-Star Game! Who knew you could be such a bastard? Look at Anfernee! He didn't play a single regular season game back then. The purpose of coming back is to play in the All-Star Game!”

"So he's been injured constantly. By the way, has he made it to the All-Stars this year? Hey, wait, isn't it possible that he hasn't played a single regular season game yet and is still being reimbursed? "

Lin Tian never gave Stern face, so he directly hit Stern's point, leaving the old fox speechless for a while.

"It's different! Anfernee is really hurt. If she doesn't come, she won't come. You kid, I don't believe you are really hurt! You stepped on a bottle and sprained your foot? Why can't you find someone? A better reason?”

"What's the reason? I was blinded while watching a concert, or I fell down while taking a shower at home? Or cut my finger while peeling an apple? Compared to those stupid reasons, I think it's more normal to step on a water glass."

"So you bastard, you're really not hurt, right?"

"No, I'm injured! I can't even walk. Mr. President, you have to believe me. As long as I can walk, I will definitely go to the All-Star scene to contribute to the development of the league and do my part!"

"Stop talking nonsense! I can let you go this time, but next time."

"I will definitely participate in the next one! Definitely!" Lin Tian immediately said that there is no problem with the next one. Anyway, it is just a verbal agreement. Whether he can go to the next one or not is up to him.

"What about the next individual competition?"

"Participate, participate, participate, everyone!" Lin Tian continued.

"We're going to do something new and interesting next season, you."

"Come, come, come, come. I will win the championship and give my best!"

"It's a deal?"

"A word is settled!"

Lin Tian felt that he was just coaxing his own grandson. What happened to Stern? He was like a child and still had to be coaxed like this? This kind of verbal promise is of no use to him!

That’s it, I’m recording anyway, see you next year! Stern on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "If you don't come next year, I will be really angry!" I promise to make your next game every season extremely difficult! "

"Also, if you don't come to Washington this year, forget it, but you have to shoot the VCR you should shoot, and you have to do the charity activities you should do! Then make it more realistic for me, and make your injuries more realistic for me. understand?"

"Don't worry, don't worry."

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone. This old man was really annoying!
Still recording? Childish or not!
As for next year, let’s discuss it again!
As soon as he hung up the phone with Stern, Lin Tian's phone rang again: "Damn it, Lin, why don't you come to Washington? I have arranged a lot of good programs for you, and I also want to talk to you and Stern. Let’s get together with Kurt.”

The caller this time was Jordan!
"Michael, why should I go to Washington? We are number one in the Eastern Conference, and you are the last in the Eastern Conference. There is nothing to communicate with at all." Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Or do you want me to recommend something to you? Next year’s No. 1 pick? Didn’t I already recommend it to you?”

"The one who targeted Wen and Antonio in the Olympics, my little brother Yao! He will definitely not let you down!"

"I don't need your recommendation! I have my own ideas about the draft! I'm calling you because I have something else to tell you!" When Jordan said this, he suddenly smiled mysteriously and said: "Say, How about I come back next season?”

"Okay, you are responsible for your comeback, and I will be responsible for pressing you to the ground and beating you!" Lin Tiandao: "If you come back at this age, what else can you do besides being pressed to the ground and beaten by me?"

"I led the team to the playoffs! I'm thinking about it now." Regarding Lin Tian's taunt, Jordan was able to turn a blind eye and said directly: "Championship, at my age plus the Wizards This team’s lineup is impossible.”

"But making it to the playoffs is absolutely no problem! I can't accept a bunch of idiots and weaklings getting paid for nothing in the team! I have decided that I will come back next season and teach these young people on the team what to do. It’s basketball!”

"Take them for one year, I will retire, and then continue to be the president. By then, hey, these little rookies on the Wizards will become little wolf cubs who have been nurtured by me! They will definitely complete the transformation and win the championship. of!"

"And the super genius we are going to draft this year! I will also teach him by words and deeds, so that he can improve quickly and become the cornerstone of the team! I have already planned that I will come back next season and lead the team into the playoffs, and then Retire, and within three years, this team will become a contender for the championship!”

"In the end, they're going to kill you, Shaq, or someone else and become the real champions!"

Let’s analyze this pass by Jordan, what do you think?
I just thought it was beautiful!

It's all based on imagination, nothing practical!
As for Jordan's fantasy, Lin Tian didn't bother to correct him. Lin Tian had other ways to attack him.

"Michael, according to league regulations, you cannot play with the team's shares. If you come back, you have to sell your shares first."

"Just sell it, it's only temporary anyway! When I finish playing for a year, I can just buy it back." Jordan at this moment is so naive and ridiculous!

"What if they don't sell you? Why do they just want so much attention from you? After you come back, there is no need for them to sell you the equity anymore, right?" Lin Tian said mercilessly: "Michael, I guess the bad idea of ​​your comeback was not your own."

"It's a suggestion given to you by the big boss in Washington. I guess he even promised that when you buy the team's equity again, he will give you a discount and sell you more, right?"

"Yes... indeed, that's what happened..." Jordan's tone suddenly became less confident. Obviously, Lin Tian was right!

"Then you have to think about it carefully. These capitalists are very bad! Compared with them, Phil is a simple and cute boy!" As soon as Lin Tian heard Jordan's tone, he knew he was right and started immediately To add insult to injury: "When you sell your shares, nothing will tolerate you!"

"Who will be kicked out like a lost dog? Who will work for a year with a basic salary for nothing? Who will be unable to lead the team to the playoffs and will have a miserable life and be ridiculed by everyone?"

"FUXX! Lin, you are talking nonsense! Nonsense! I don't believe what you are saying! I and Bomo are good friends! He will not lie to me!"

"It's up to you. If you don't listen to your real good buddy, but listen to the nonsense of a fake good buddy who comes out of nowhere, then you can't blame anyone for being treated like a dog!"

"FUXX! You're just talking nonsense! Go to hell, Lin!" After Jordan cursed a few more curse words, he hung up the phone.

When he called Lin Tian, ​​he was in a good mood, but now? He was in a terrible mood!

Lin Tian felt his bad mood immediately!
"Michael Jordan had mood swings and dropped 1000 experience points!"

Tsk tsk tsk, look! Look at Jordan, after you become a boss, the experience you get is different. One time it's 4 figures, and the other time it's 4 figures! It’s just atmospheric! It's completely different from those players who are searching and searching!

As for whether Jordan will come back next year, will he continue to make stupid choices and start his bad general manager career?
Lin Tian said: I tried my best, Jordan CBA.

After all the hints, who can blame Jordan if he chooses Kwame again? Is it to blame Lin Tian for not holding Dayao's hand and then handing him to Jordan's hand?

Do you have to chew it up and feed it to your mouth? That's too disgusting!
Don't say Jordan can't do it, even Jordan's wife can't do it!
Not Mr. Lin’s cup of tea.

But if it’s Pippen’s wife Larsa, Kidd’s wife Juerna, Parker’s wife Eva, Barea’s two wives Vera and Ortiz, Love’s wife Kate Bock, Jaric’s wife Lima, Horford’s wife Ai As for Millie Vega, Mr. Lin might be willing to do this.

kindness?
No, how come I, Senior Official Lin, can casually say the names of so many wives with just one opening of my mouth?
I am obviously a fan of the Shu Han Dynasty, how can I have the legacy of Wei and Wu?

This unscientific!

I am not such a person!

Just when Lin Tian fell into deep self-doubt, and even felt a little guilty and sad that he had betrayed the Shu-Han clan, there was a knock on his door.

Then there was no need for Lin Tian to open the door, Pelinka led the people in directly.

When this guy comes to his place, it's always the same as going home.

Needless to say, the people Pelinka brings are AND1 people!

Today's visitor is Austin, who has the best relationship with Lin Tian and is the most chatty with Lin Tian. This guy has changed into an exaggerated reggae head. He doesn't look like the president of a listed company at all, but more like a Street gangster.

"Lin, old man, long time no see. Sorry, you touched my hair, FUXX! What are you doing? Don't pull! It hurts! FUXX! Let go! Let go of my hair! Rob, FUXX, Rob, why are you pulling my hair? Let me go!”

Lin Tian loosened one of the thick braids on Austin's head, sat across from him and said, "I'm just curious. I thought it was a wig, but I didn't expect it to be true?"

"Of course it's true! This is how I bully Berg and Gilbert! Those two guys don't have that much hair! They will never be able to have such a coquettish hairstyle in their lives! They will always be envious, jealous, and hateful , but it’s impossible to get the same hair style as mine!”

Austin leaned back comfortably on the sofa, proud of his amazing hair volume.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense." Pelinka also loosened one of the braids, leaned on the sofa and said, "We are all old friends, how about we get straight to the point?"

"We'll get to the point quickly." Austin shrugged and said, "According to my idea, we can get it done in 10 minutes and open the champagne in 15 minutes."

After saying that, Austin took out three contracts from his bag and said: "I won't beat around the bush with you or bargain with you. That summer five years ago, Rob, the bastard, wasted no time with us at 3 or 0.1. The position thing will never happen again!”

As Austin spoke, he raised his middle finger in an indistinct manner and gave Pelinka a middle finger. Apparently, he still vividly remembered the scene during the first negotiation between the two a few years ago.

"As long as the conditions you give are good enough, we won't bargain with you." Pelinka shrugged, but had no intention of getting the contract: "You can take the initiative to introduce it."

"Simple." Austin cleared his throat and said: "First of all, the concept of the three contracts is the same, they are all lifetime contracts. We hope to continue to cooperate with Lin for a long time, including after he retires, we also hope to continue to cooperate with him! "

"And the core contents of the three contracts are actually very similar. We will create a brand new sub-brand for Lin, which is similar to the relationship between Michael and Nike. No matter which one Lin chooses, we will no longer be employees. relationship, but a relationship of equal cooperation!”

"In fact, Lin may even earn more than the three of us!"

"I believe that the value of these three contracts is definitely more than 3 billion US dollars! It can make Lin's worth directly reach more than 10 figures!"

"So, for the first share, Lin will get 9% of the shares. If he chooses this share, Lin will become the fourth person with the largest shareholding after me, Gilbert and Begg. He will play a decisive role within AND1. With his position, he will have a huge say and can even influence the company’s decision-making and development direction!”

"In the second installment, Lin will receive 50% of the sales profit dividends of his new sub-brand! The third installment is similar to the second installment. Lin will receive 90% of the profit dividends of his new sub-brand in Asia!"

"If Lin chooses the first part, he will officially become the fourth boss of AND1. From now on, we will really be a grasshopper on a rope. If Lin chooses the second and third parts, then there is a high probability that Lin will become the fourth boss of AND in the future. It’s really more than what we earn!”

"That's about it. As for the other parts and details, we can have a good chat, but I don't think it's important. They're just details. How about that? Can we open the champagne?"

Pelinka was stunned now. He was really confused.

Because he felt that he was useless.

AND1 is so sincere! So much so that Pelinka didn't know how to bargain.

The conditions are really great!

How to put it, let’s use an analogy.

Everyone knows about Michael Jordan's lifetime contract with Nike. Jordan got 4.5% of Nike's shares and became the largest individual shareholder of Nike!
Today's Nike has long become a giant company in the sports world, and Jordan's 4.5% stake has long been worth hundreds of millions of dollars! Moreover, this amount is still rising! With Nike's current development speed, the value of these shares will sooner or later exceed US$20 billion or more!

This contract is also known as the largest sneaker contract in North American sports history!

There are rumors that Jordan is considering changing the details of the cooperation between the two parties and changing the shares to present them in a more direct and monetizable way.

Many people speculate that if Jordan and Nike reach a new contract, Jordan's annual income will be close to 1 million US dollars! With the increase in AJ brand sales and NBA market share, Jordan's annual income will exceed 1 million US dollars in the future, and it is very possible to reach 2 million or more!

And what about the contract AND1 gave Lin Tian?

9% equity, 50% of the world's profits or 90% of the profits in Asia.

These numbers are absolutely astronomical!

You know, in terms of sales volume, Lin Tian's signature shoes are not as good as the AJ series, but they can beat the signature shoes of all other NBA players! One person is better than ten thousand people, and the third person is thrown away by a very long distance.

And if we only look at the sales volume in Asia, the sales volume of Lin Tian's sneakers can surpass even the AJ series. Asia is Lin Tian's home base!
If you look at AND1's financial statements in 2000, their current market value is about US$100 billion, and this number is still growing rapidly. 9% of the equity is almost US$10 billion.

And if Lin Tian chooses the profit sharing of the latter two, then based on the annual sales of the AND1 Lin Tian series of about 5 million U.S. dollars, then the money Lin Tian can get every year will probably reach 3000 million U.S. dollars!
3000 million dollars a year!
This is still now!
Judging from Lin Tian's current popularity, the increasingly vigorous development of the NBA, and the growing share of basketball in the sports world, it is only a matter of time before this number exceeds 5000 million or even 1 million!
This is a year’s income!
No wonder Austin is so confident and pops the champagne when he comes. No wonder Pelinka was stunned, so confused that he didn't know how to bargain.

The conditions are indeed great!

"Can we still talk about the contract amount?" Pelinka asked after swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva.

"Of course, because we knew you, a bastard, would ask this, so we left a little space, of course, just a little." Austin looked like I knew you would do this, and pointed his index finger and thumb lift, he left just a tiny little gap in the middle.

"Look! This is the capitalist! The evil capitalist!" Pelinka finally regained his composure and laughed loudly: "I said I can't completely believe them! They always leave room for leeway and try their best to exploit us. !”

"FUXX! Rob, you damn bastard, why don't you go to hell? Who is exploiting whom among us? Aren't the conditions we offered good enough? Aren't we showing great sincerity? "

"After signing this contract, you will be damned capitalists too! You are exploiting others!"

Seeing Austin's painful expression and tone, Lin Tian also relaxed completely and laughed.

Along with Lin Tian's smile, the other two people also burst into laughter. The atmosphere in the whole room was extremely harmonious, because all three of them knew that reaching this new lifelong contract would not be a problem at all.

The only suspense next is to see which contract Lin Tian chooses.

When the three people were chatting happily, Pelinka's phone rang. He picked up the phone, chatted for a few words and then hung up the phone and said: "Our other guest has already got off the plane. 30 minutes later." Can be reached within.”

"Who is it?" Lin Tian was curious as to who Pelinka had found for him to cooperate with.

"A guy who is unknown now, but I think he has great potential and matches your temperament very well." Pelinka shrugged: "I don't mean to show off, mainly because you don't know his name when I say it. , my experience of getting to know him was also very wonderful.”

"But I don't think you two assholes care about how he and I met, so let's just filter that out. So now, does anyone want to open a bottle of champagne in advance?"

Pelinka stood up as he spoke, went to Lin Tian's wine cabinet and opened a bottle of champagne, and the three of them sat there and started chatting.

Almost 40 minutes later, the door to Lin Tian's house was opened again.

Pelinka brought in a bald white man who looked very thick and fierce among ordinary people, but looked just like that in front of Lin Tian. He was 180 centimeters tall and had a body full of tendons.

"Lin, I'm your boxing fan!" As soon as this guy came in, he smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Lin Tian's hand and said: "I watched every game you played in the Olympics, and I also watched a few of your fights in the NBA. Matches, many times! I even spent a lot of effort to find the videos of the qualifying matches you played in Thailand.”

"Honestly, it was all in vain, because the game was so fast, and everyone was taken care of with just a few punches!"

"I'm very happy that you didn't lie and said you were my fan." Lin Tian also smiled and said: "But I think you have to introduce yourself first."

There was a crisp sound of 'pop', and the bald white man slapped his forehead and said embarrassedly: "I was so happy that I forgot about it. It's really rude! I'm Whitey Dana, from the UFC Fighting League. CEO!”

"I know that this fighting league is still unknown and is not even recognized by the mainstream media and the market. Many people even think that we are a bloody gang organization that fights illegally, but I am confident that our league can restart quickly and This will make it a top event on par with WBC, WBA, IBF and other alliances!”

Listening to this guy's talk, Lin Tian finally remembered who this guy was.

The CEO of the UFC Fighting League, who will become famous in the future, almost single-handedly changed the reputation and image of UFC, which was regarded as an illegal, bloody, cruel, and chaotic fighting league in the early 21st century. It only took 20 years. Let it transform into a top fighting league with a market value of over billion US dollars!
If the name White Dana sounds a bit unfamiliar, then his nickname in China, White Dana, should be more familiar.

This guy is indeed a business wizard. After all, when he acquired UFC in 2001, he only spent a total of 200 million U.S. dollars, and 180 million of it was obtained by tricking his good friends into joining the company.

But in less than 20 years, the value of this sports league has increased by a full 1 times! His experience is definitely legendary!

Of course, let’s do it this way, standard empty-handed white wolf + empty-handed pie-drawing contestant!

For this kind of person, Lin Tian's method is very simple and direct.

First, give him power, frighten him, disrupt his rhythm, put him in a dilemma, make him feel at a loss and think that he is completely lost, and then give him a little benefit to make him grateful.

Hmm... It is also commonly known as hitting a stick and giving a red date.

This trick may not be useful against Dana White in his mature stage, but it is absolutely no problem against this guy who only has dreams in his early stages of entrepreneurship!

"If I remember correctly, the CEO of UFC did not call you by this name, and I have not heard that they have recently thought of selling the league." Lin Tian directly exposed this guy's lies and said: "Mr. White, should you? He could be a liar."

"No! I'm not a liar! Rob can testify! I really am not a liar!" Dana Bai's face suddenly tightened, filled with the nervousness after being exposed. After shouting a few words in a row, this The guy then slumped down on the sofa like a deflated balloon and said, "Can you give me a glass of champagne?"

After finishing speaking, the guy didn't wait for Lin Tian to take action. Instead, he stretched out his hand to pour himself a glass and drank it all. After finishing the drink, the guy's condition was obviously better. He looked at Lin Tian and said: "Okay. I admit that I am not the CEO of UFC yet, but I believe I will be soon!”

"Moreover, they are indeed planning to sell their alliance, and their asking price is not high, only 300 million US dollars!"

"Then how much have you collected?" Lin Tian knew that he had already taken advantage of him, so he leaned on the sofa and asked easily.

"Almost 250 million! I just need to bargain a little more and let them get a discount, and I can get it all!"

"I'm afraid not necessarily." Lin Tian continued to look at Dana Bai, waiting for him to confess.

"Actually, we only collected 150 million."

"In this case, please ask Mr. White to leave. I don't think we are suitable for cooperation." Lin Tian stood up and pointed at the door of the house.

"No, I've already collected 100 million! Really."

Seeing that Lin Tian was still looking dazed with a smile on his face, Dana Bai finally couldn't stand it any longer, approached Lin Tian, ​​and whispered beside him: "I actually only have 50."

"Come on." Lin Tian looked at this guy and was too lazy to tease him: "I think all your money has been spent on air tickets to Indiana!"

After hearing what Lin Tian said, Dana White's eyes widened completely, and he looked at him in disbelief. After dozens of seconds, this guy finally sighed and said, "Since you haven't driven me away yet, you must be willing to help me."

"You are very smart." Lin Tian nodded and said, "But what I'm curious about is, why are you looking for me in a fighting league?"

"I need you to be the spokesperson of this alliance, preferably to fight! Open up the popularity and reputation of this alliance! After all, you are the only one who can have huge popularity in the fighting circle and is not affiliated with any fighting group. Alliance guy."

"Not to mention that you are extremely popular from the basketball circle! As long as you agree, I am absolutely sure!"

Now that the words had been spoken, Dana Bai no longer concealed anything, and began to describe his plan with his mouth open.

"As long as you are willing to join in, I can use your name to find the sponsor! I have a friend, they are a pair of brothers, they can afford this money, as long as they can see the hope of making money, they will Be willing to invest money and support me!”

"Then, I will take your name and their money to find the owner of UFC, talk to them about the acquisition, and use this to lower the price. My psychological price is 200 million US dollars. knife!"

"After winning the UFC, my first plan is to reverse its reputation! Apart from 'indiscriminate fighting', this league currently has nothing positive and worth preserving. Its rules are too general and the competition system is too general. Too fragmented and poorly managed!”

"I want to make it formal first, and then develop steadily, little by little! My plan is to make the market value of this alliance exceed US$10 million within 2 years! Let it reach 20 billion within 10 years!"

Listening to Dana Bai's ambition, Lin Tian secretly sighed: This guy is still too conservative and not imaginative enough!

At the same time, I also felt that this old man was indeed brave enough.

You really don’t have a dime, so you just go out with nothing and fool people from all directions into joining the gang!

Next, when Dana Bai saw that no one was stopping her from continuing, she became more and more enthusiastic, and simply told her entire plan.

From changing the league's slogan, to formulating strict rules, to how to attract top players to join, create a new sports culture, etc...

After listening to what he said, Lin Tian smiled and said: "You said it in such detail, aren't you afraid that your plan will become my plan after tonight?"

Silence, extremely awkward silence, Dana Bai's eyes widened, knowing that he had said too much.

There's no way, it's his first time too, he's excited!
After a long time, Dana Bai said at a loss: "I and you can't, probably not."

"Indeed, I won't. I haven't been that stupid yet." Lin Tian shrugged: "I am very interested in your proposal, and for me, 300 million US dollars is not much, and I am also willing to help. you."

"Really!" Bai Dana's eyes lit up as he was already desperate. Just when he was about to say something more to express his determination, Lin Tian reached out to interrupt him.

"It's just that I have to decide the specific method of cooperation!"

"First of all, you don't have to go out to paint a pie for your two friends. You don't need to look for this money everywhere. I'll just come up with it. Not only can I fully buy the UFC league, but I can also We can give you an additional 5% of the shares and allow you to serve as CEO and fully manage the alliance.”

"As for other benefits, annual salary, dividends, etc., we can talk about it slowly, but I think you can forget about your proposal of letting me be the image spokesperson of the league. After all, I am a cross-border person, and it is easy for me to let you go. People think this alliance is a joke like WWE."

"But if you need me to play 1-2 exhibition games, that's not impossible. I can play in the offseason and help the league increase its popularity."

"That's pretty much it, would you like it?"

"Yes! Of course I am willing!" Dana Bai's eyes lit up! You know, he originally came here to spend money, but he didn't expect that the money has not been spent now, and he has found a big benefactor for himself!

"As for getting the UFC's 300 million funds, when will we get it in place? Once it's in place, I can start working directly!"

"That's not urgent." Lin Tian waved his hand and looked at Pelinka: "Rob?"

"Understood, leave it to me." Pelinka shrugged. In recent years, he has long been accustomed to Lin Tian's way of allocating work: "I will find a team to conduct in-depth investigation and analysis of the UFC, and then go After quoting and negotiating, we will definitely be able to win them at a price much lower than 300 million!”

"Very good." Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Dana White and said: "Now you can go back and think about the specific implementation plan, about the new alliance style, logo, publicity, rules and other things. !”

"By the way, I remember that the current slogan of this alliance is 'We have no rules here'? This is too barbaric. It can easily make people think that this is an underground black boxing ring. Your first mission is to complete it with us. After the acquisition, give this alliance a new and suitable slogan!”

"I want it to be both fierce and tough, but also to make people accept that it is really a serious, professional, advanced and exciting fighting league!"

"No problem! Leave it to me! Leave it all to me! I've been thinking about this for many years. I definitely didn't do it on a whim. I just slapped my head and suddenly wanted to do this!" Dana Bai said and patted his hands. His own head means that he has really thought it through.

After a crisp sound, the four people at the scene all laughed, and Austin, the only outsider who seemed to be an outsider, said: "Since everyone is so happy tonight, we AND1 can also provide some support until your slogan and style are decided. after."

"You can send me some samples and graphics, and I can give you a few co-branded T-shirts and treat them as publicity! But I will not pay royalties or any profit dividends!"

"Of course! Of course!" Dana White said excitedly: "If the alliance can cooperate with world-class giants like you just after restarting, it will definitely be beneficial to us! Of course I will not ask for it. What a ridiculous royalty fee!”

The rainbow fart of a world-class company made Austin laugh so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He just loved dealing with such sweet-mouthed guys! Happy thief!
Amid a burst of laughter, Pelinka went to get another bottle of champagne and opened it. He looked at several people with a smile and said, "Then, it's time for the second celebration tonight."

The next weekend, the All-Star Weekend in Washington was in full swing. Desmond Mason shined in the dunk contest and successfully won the championship. However, compared to the century battle between Lin Tian and Carter the previous year, this year's dunk was The competition was really mediocre.

In addition, sharpshooter Ray Allen finally realized his dream in Washington and won the 3-Point Contest! It's just that in this year's Three-Point Contest, no one shot a single-digit score, the lowest score in history, and no one did a crazy job with his left hand, nor was there the excitement of historical shooters gathering for the pinnacle battle!
Likewise, compared to last year, it’s just mediocre!
After watching the two individual events, everyone suddenly discovered one thing.

That is, without Lin Tian, ​​this All-Star individual event would be completely boring!

It tastes like chewing wax and is dispensable!
The next Rookie Challenge was turned into a boring fixed-point shooting competition by Szczerbiak. Although the second-year shooter won the Rookie Game MVP, the fans at the scene did not buy it at all. They did not like this kind of competition in the world. The guy who plays and shoots the ball in the All-Star game.

After all the games ended without good reviews, the league finally received the biggest good news for their All-Stars this year.

This year's All-Star game was extremely exciting!
The players from both sides played really hard in the last few minutes, playing with all their might, almost reaching the intensity of the finals!

Although the West has been suppressing the East in the first three quarters, they even led by 21 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter!
But in the last few minutes of the game, under the leadership of Iverson, Marbury and others, the Eastern team began their desperate counterattack!
Within 9 minutes, they launched a terrifying offensive wave and reversed a gap of more than 20 points in one fell swoop. Iverson scored 15 points during this period and was the biggest contributor to the team's victory!
In the last minute of the game, the two sides went crazy. Kobe extended the lead to 3 points with a mid-range shot, and then Marbury tied it with a 3-pointer!
Then it was Kobe again, with his signature pull-up jumper that gave the Western team the lead again.

But Marbury didn't give in at all. He rushed to the frontcourt and hit another 3-pointer!
The Eastern team completed the lead!
Then in the Western team's last attack, Kidd didn't hand the ball to Kobe, who was in great shape, but gave it to David Robinson, who had a misplaced advantage inside, allowing the 'Admiral' to single out Vince Carter!

Who would have thought that this goal was a sure shot, but Carter stood up and rejected it with a bloody hat!
The game is over!

The Eastern team relied on Marbury's two three-pointers, Carter's killer shot and Iverson's 2 points in the final quarter to successfully reverse the game and win this All-Star Game with a 15-point advantage!

This All-Star Game is considered by many to be one of the five most exciting All-Star Games in NBA history! Real swordsmanship, full elements, all-out effort, intensity in the finals!
