Chapter 128: An Anticipated Amateur Competition
The news that Liu Han will participate in the Los Angeles area amateur darts tournament on June 16 has been publicized and hyped by ABC broadcasters after being known by most viewers in the United States, and such a darts game that was not very popular was suddenly hyped, on the one hand, because Liu Han had just won the NBA Finals MVP, and on the other hand, Liu Han's magical performance in the video broadcast on ABC's TV station, although most of the darts puzzles do not believe that Liu Han can have such a performance. But there are still a lot of basketball fans and other spectators who are looking forward to the game.
Liu's agent, Helga, approached the organizers of the National Amateur Darts Tournament, and he wanted to negotiate with the association to determine that the association would secure a portion of the benefits that Liu Han deserved from his participation.
After four hours of negotiations, the association signed an agreement with Helga, under which Liu Han will receive 40 percent of the association's increased income due to Liu Han's participation in this and future competitions. In fact, compared to the 40 percent that Liu Han was given to Liu Han by the association, they hoped that Liu Han would participate in this competition every year, and in the long run, 40 percent would not be much for Liu Han.
Originally, the venue association for this competition was a small stadium rented in Los Angeles, but now the Hilton Los Angeles Hotel, which is owned by Hilton, is willing to provide the venue for the competition for free, so the previous small stadium will not be considered.
Liu Han's participation also made the amateur players in Los Angeles who participated in the competition at the same time a little overjoyed, where did these amateur players who mingled in various small bars and private small gambling stalls in Los Angeles have the opportunity to enter a five-star hotel to participate in a game, and they will also appear in front of an audience across the United States, which makes these players ready to compete with Liu Han, in case they really win the NBA's FMVP, it will mean that they will have a certain popularity in the future, and there will be a lot of income.
Liu Han also knew through Helga that there had been changes in the competition he participated in, but he didn't care, Liu Han felt that he just needed to play at a normal level, and the sport of darts was not too difficult for Liu Han.
On the contrary, Safina is now concerned about this competition, she is thinking about what kind of clothes to prepare for the man she loves at that time, every girl in love will want her boyfriend to be the most handsome.
On the afternoon of June 16, Liu Han, Safina and the LaBeouf family arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles early to give an interview to reporters before the game.
"Liu, do you have the confidence to participate in this competition? Do you have any hobbies other than darts? This is a question from the local media in Los Angeles, and the question from the Los Angeles media is quite polite to Liu Han, who brought the first championship in the 90s to Los Angeles.
"Confidence, okay, I think I should be able to get first place if I play properly, but I don't have any other hobbies, except for boxing sometimes, well, by the way, I also like to watch movies, and the movies here are very good." Liu Han truthfully answered the reporter's questions.
"Hello, Liu, I'm Sis Plaine, a reporter for the Chicago Post, what is your explanation for the video that was shown earlier, and how did it be falsified?" The media in Chicago, which was defeated by the Lakers, was less polite in its questioning, and the Chicago Post's position has always been more discriminatory against the Chinese.
"I see arrogance and discrimination in your eyes, I don't know where your arrogance comes from, but I don't want to answer your question, what right do you have to say that I am faking without asking for verification." (Tribute to the Foreign Minister#)
The Chicago reporter Sis Plaine's question made Liu Han a little angry, and the "sense of superiority" revealed in the other party's eyes made Liu Han feel very disgusted, so he unceremoniously refuted the reporter. And Liu Han's words also stunned the surrounding reporters, they didn't expect Liu Han, who always seemed to be very good at talking, to have such a fierce time.
Safina also looked at the Chicago reporter with disdain, and then turned around and entered the hotel with Liu Han.
The organizers of this competition divided the competition into 4 groups, with 8 players in each group, and then decided the top four, and finally the top four were drawn to determine the opponent who participated in the final.
Liu Han was divided into the second group for the game, the organizers of the event originally planned to play in four groups at a time, but now considering the addition of Liu Han, the venue is divided into four pieces, and the four groups of games are played at the same time, so that Liu Han can play earlier, and the time of the game can be shortened slightly, they also know that the audience is coming for Liu Han, and no one wants to watch some amateur players have a boring duel.
The game was officially launched, and almost all the cameras were aimed at Liu Han's second group, which made the players in the other groups a little dissatisfied, but there was no way, who said that the focus of everyone's attention now is Liu Han.
On the sidelines, the organizers of the event also specially invited Vincent Turner, a full-time commentator of the professional darts game on ABC TV, to participate, but the people around Vincent Turner surprised many people, because O'Neill was sitting next to Vincent Turner in a suit.
"Hello, Shaq, I guess this is your first time playing as a commentator, right? Although this is not a basketball game. Vincentner was happy to be able to play with O'Neill.
"Well, yes, it's a novel experience, and I think it's a lot of fun, especially with my good brother in attendance, and I think I'll probably be a commentator when I retire. However, I have to ask, no one will scold me when I cheer for Liu alone later, haha. "O'Neill is always funny everywhere.
"Of course not, Shaq, no one cares about a rookie commentator's bias, and I think most people will understand, so well, welcome to the commentary, rookie Shaquille O'Neal." Vincent Turner is actually a very humorous commentary.
"Seriously, what do you think of Liu's video, have you ever wondered if it's fake?" Vincent Turner gave O'Neill a dismissal at the beginning, and at this time the game on the court was playing against other amateurs, and Vincent Turner had to talk to O'Neill about Liu Han's appearance.
"Okay, I'll be honest, the first time I watched that game, I thought it was this guy looking for someone to make an edit for publicity, and then I called Liu myself, I believe he won't deceive me, he's a sincere guy, I don't think anyone would be unwilling to make friends with a sincere guy, right?" O'Neal trusts Liu Han very much, and he feels that Liu Han is the kind of person he can trust with confidence, just like in a basketball game, as long as Liu Han has an open position, no one is unwilling to get an assist.
"Haha, it seems that you have a good relationship, Shaq, so as far as you know, what else is Liu good at besides darts, of course, except for three-point shots, which everyone on Earth knows now."
"Well, I have to say, he's very good boxing, at least he moves very fast, like a pro, and I was hoping he would teach me that, but he never said yes." O'Neill has never been a tight-mouthed guy. (To be continued.) )
