Chapter 560

This summer, because of their injuries, Lamar and Vanessa have been staying in the Maldives to recuperate. ? n?en? ??? .?ο½’?a?n?? ο½…?n `o?ο½’?g?

And this time, if I agree to the alliance's plan, I can take this opportunity to go to China with Nike's "China Trip" plan.

It was only next year in 2003, and Lamar's memory of the Chinese race seemed to be ahead of schedule. It seems that the Asian action organized by the alliance this time is not only propaganda in Chinese mainland, but also includes Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.

If that's the case, the time may be a bit tight, and the regular season is less than half a month away. Lamar had to worry about whether the team's form would be affected after such a long period of air travel.

Seeing that Lamar's face didn't seem to be good, Doran couldn't help but worry for a while. His lifelong hope was to see the Knicks become the king of the NBA, and now Lamar is his only hope. He didn't want anything to happen between him and Lamar because of it.

"Lamar, if you don't think it's feasible, that's fine. I can shirk the league, but we haven't had a good relationship with the league anyway. They beat us again last season and we don't have to go along with them. ”

"No, Mr. Dolan!" Lamar said, shaking his head, "Although the alliance will benefit from this matter, it is we who will benefit the most. I think it's a good thing, and we should say yes!"

"I'm worried that the regular season is just around the corner, and going to Asia at this time will definitely affect the state of the players, and the planned training tasks within the team will definitely not be completed. You know our goal this season is to win the championship and I don't want anything bad to happen at the last minute. ”

Dolan listened to Lamar's explanation, nodded and said, "What you're worried about is very reasonable, Lamar! Aside from a few of you starters, plus the coaching staff and staff, I think it's perfectly fine for everyone else to stay in New York and continue training. ”

"And we don't have to follow the alliance's plan at all, what we have to do is expand the Knicks' influence in Asia, which is the most important thing!"

Lamar saw that Dolan had said this, and he couldn't say anything to refute it. After all, Dolan is the owner of the team, and no matter how strong he is, he is just a part-time worker. Dolan had already given him face when he came to ask for his opinion, and if he didn't agree, he would be a little ignorant.

"Yes, sir, I know what to do."

Hearing Lamar's promise, Dolan's heart suddenly fluttered. He seems to have seen countless Asian fans wearing Knicks jerseys and constantly joining the Knicks fan army. I also saw every game, in the Madison Square Garden arena, all kinds of people gathered together to cheer for the Knicks like a tsunami.

As for the wealth brought to the Knicks by the trip to Asia, Dolan, who is worth tens of billions, really didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there is so much money that he can't even count the numbers.

The New York Knicks made an OK gesture to Stern, and the rest of the Houston Rockets had no problem.

The Rockets boss is a money-eyed guy, and his relationship with Stern is not as bad as Lamar's. For the Rockets owner, who is bent on making the Houston Rockets his money-making machine, as long as there is money to be made, it is not a problem for him to run naked in front of Asian fans.

The only thing that displeased the Rocket boss was this trip to Asia, and the Rocket, who had the name of China's top drug, could only play a supporting role for the New York Knicks. This makes it really difficult for the Rocket boss, who has just gotten the name of the drug and is about to make a good old money, to accept it.

According to Stern's plan, this trip to Asia Houston Rockets only needs to be responsible for the promotion in Chinese mainland, and other places like Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea have no part at all.

"Damn old Jewish dog, has he forgotten who is the pioneer of the Alliance's foray into Asia? We have medicine, and he told us to be a foil to the New Yorkers, and his brain must be pooping!"

In Assan's office, the team owner, who has always been known for being stingy, is throwing a tantrum at his general manager, Dawson. It can be seen that Stern's Asian propaganda plan has provoked him, and the always cautious Asanda is also angry.

As a pioneer, the rocket was ignored like this, and Asanda couldn't accept it. And it's okay that the protagonist of this event is someone else, but it's the annoying Lamar. To this day, he can't forget how Lamar spoke out in the face of his invitation a year ago.

"Damn it, my Houston Rockets are the representatives of China in the NBA, and we are the hosts! Why should we go and make green leaves for the New Yorkers?"

After shouting for a long time, Yashanda was also a little tired, and sat on the chair dejectedly. Actually, he knows it very well. Although the Houston Rockets chose the name of the Chinese little giant, in the eyes of those teams with background, the Rockets are really just a small shrimp.

Don't say that top giants like the Lakers and Boston Celtics don't take them seriously, even the newly rising Bulls, Spurs, and Knicks are sneering at them.

What Asan is desperate to do now is to increase the team's influence and make his Houston Rockets a truly top team, so that he can expand his influence and make a lot of money. It just so happens that the league's Asian propaganda plan is a good opportunity, but he can't let go of the knots in his heart just by letting him rocket the New York Knicks.

General Manager Dawson seemed to be a little less angry when he saw Yashan: "Boss! Actually, we are completely worried now." ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Yashan immediately raised his head with a twinkle in his eyes: "Tell me, what do you think?"

"My idea is simple. There are many places on this trip to Asia, so why don't we give up the rest and focus most of our energy on the trip to China?"

"You also know that I have been to China and have a certain understanding of China as a country. We now have the name of the medicine in our hands, so that we have a natural advantage in China, and many Chinese fans will regard us as their home team! Why don't we take advantage of this, and we will rely on the name of the medicine to play the emotional card. ”

"This trip to China is attended by the entire Rocket team, including the boss, which can show the importance we attach to China. China has always been a country that advocates courtesy, and when the time comes, I think Chinese fans will choose who they support. ”

When he heard this, he felt that it made sense, but at the same time he rolled his eyes: "Of course I know that this will make us the biggest winners of this trip to Asia." But do you really think the Knicks guys are that easy to deal with?"

"Don't forget that they came close to the finals last season just after they finished their rebuild. Lamar is not a guy who can be inferred by common sense, and the management of the Knicks will not let go of the big cake of China! Who can guarantee that they will not make any amazing moves for the Chinese market at this time?"

"But if we don't gamble, we're destined to become a supporting role. ”

After listening to Dawson's analysis, Yashanda also nodded again and again: "What you said is very reasonable! Then you can arrange it like this." ”

Dawson nodded.

Asanda looked at Dawson with a relieved look and laughed, "Okay! Let's have a good time with those New Yorkers in China!"

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass, this trip to Asia is no different. The propagandists sent by the Knicks this time are the elite of the team!

Although the organizers of the four places will do the corresponding reception work, Dolan does not dare to be careless. The group of players he has under his command now, any one of them is priceless. Especially Lamar!

If something goes wrong, Doranco won't even have a place to cry. The Knicks were all preparing for their first trip to Asia, but something happened within the team at this hour. And what happened was a very important part of this trip to Asia, Dhampot.

Although Dampott didn't play much minutes last season, the Haitians played a very important role in both the regular season and the playoffs. It's just that the fatal mistake in the Eastern Conference finals with the New Jersey Nets made him a sinner in the eyes of New York fans all of a sudden.

Although Lamar has defended him on several occasions, the fans simply don't buy it on this matter. There were even some radical fans who left messages on the team's official website, asking the team to trade the big man who was bad at the team's most critical time.

In addition to the pressure exerted by the fans, the lack of confidence in his own strength also caused a lot of pressure on Dampoter. Especially after the Knicks traded for this year's No. 7 rookie, NenΓͺ Hilario, a brilliant big man, the Haitians' sense of crisis has intensified.

The fans' lack of understanding and the problem of status in the team made Dampoter, a big man who was huge but a little psychologically fragile, almost collapsed. He doesn't know where his way out of the team is, and he doesn't know if he has a way out.

Although he was not involved in the previous team trade, the messages of various previous trades still made Dampoter a little panicked. Many people also believe that the Haitians' days with the Knicks have entered the countdown, and the Knicks will never miss only asking for a good trade partner.

Lamar was well aware of what was happening, but he couldn't do anything about it. He's done it countless times, just like the good leaders of other teams, taking the blame for losing and trying to exonerate Dampot. But all this he did didn't seem to have half an effect, and the fans didn't buy it at all. (To be continued.) )
