Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Stinky Move

Faced with Romero's obvious olive branch, Caesar gladly took it.

You know, George? Romero's status and appeal in the zombie genre movie, like Caesar's current status in the entertainment industry, has reached the point where it is not aimed at anyone.

If the movie version of "Resident Evil" is asked to be filmed by Romero, it will definitely be better than Paul? Anderson is 10,000 times stronger.

Some people say that Romero has long been outdated, but they don't know that there are some technical things to learn about modern action special effects movies, and it is not the director himself who makes special effects.

However, as long as it is a zombie movie, the poster is posted, and fans of zombie movies will see the director: George? Romero......

The first reaction was definitely not to ask, "Is it pretty?" "Instead, they immediately paid for the ticket.

In fact, Caesar's own reputation is higher, and the effect of being a director is certainly more exaggerated, so why didn't he shoot it himself?

Because I don't have time......

This is the consequence of Caesar wanting to reach out for everything and wanting a piece of the pie in any entertainment field, and the so-called greedy and chewy is like Caesar.

As a result, movies, television, games, music, comics, animation, and even sports have been snubbed by Caesar for a long time, and fans will launch "letter bombs" to saturate him.

Why add the category of sports? Because the news that Caesar is going to buy the Lakers has finally been officially exposed.

All the previous news about Caesar's acquisition of the Lakers was actually just inside information.

Of course, there are no secrets in this world, and as long as it is human beings who keep secrets, there will never be secrets. So Caesar never thought it would be airtight.

Caesar fans have gotten a little bit of a shadow through the gossip, but they haven't received any official recognition.

As for the leaked news, don't ask, it's definitely those Hollywood stars who can't hold things in their hearts.

According to Caesar's character, he actually wants to give fans and fans a surprise that is not a surprise.

So, even if Caesar was asked this question by reporters. He has also been silent, always keeping a news silence on this matter.

In this way, even if the news is leaked, if the official does not admit it in advance. When the truth comes, even if you are not surprised, you have to be a little happy, right?

Interestingly, the Bass family reached a realm and height that Caesar could not understand.

The official spokesman for the Lakers suddenly held a press conference to announce that the team was being acquired by Caesar in his personal name.

This news is like a nuclear bomb with a yield explosion, which exploded in Los Angeles and instantly radiated to the whole of North America.

As one of the four major sports in North America. Is the NBA being Michael? Jordan led the NBL (North American Hockey Professional League) to compete for the ranking of the third sport.

Speaking of which, I have to say two more words, to this day, that is, when you see this line, the ranking of the third sport is still hovering between the NBA and the NHL, and it has never been able to distinguish between the top and the bottom.

One qiē for one reason only, NHL can fight by default under the rules.

Although it was just a heads-up battle with a give-up club and a brace and only allowed to fight with fists, it was the default fight anyway, so it was exciting. Many viewers enjoy NHL hockey games, and even every game must be seen.

Some may think that it is excessive, but these spectators are like the spectators of the Colosseum in Rome, watching others bleed and even taking pleasure with other people's lives.

Actually, no, the peculiarity of ice hockey is that athletes can move super fast on the ice in skates, which is far from the speed that football, basketball, and football can match.

At this speed, if you want to brake sharply, make a sharp turn to make an offensive and defensive action will cause a lot of collision and unnecessary physical contact.

Playing in this situation, for the boys who are strong in blood. Fights and brawls are impossible to avoid.

Since the birth of ice hockey, especially in North America, there have been many incidents of brawls and deaths, so NHL officials have made heads-up a tradition, and have completely standardized the rules while acquiescing.

It's a desperate move. But it is also a disguised protection for the safety of players' lives.

Under this rule, the beneficiary is not only the players, but also the spectators, and every game is bloody from the nose and mouth, which looks even more enjoyable than boxing...... You know, many boxing matches don't see a drop of blood after a dozen rounds.

Michael? The great thing about Jordan is that he used two triple championships to make the NBA, a sports league, more attention than ice hockey. It has also made people understand the charm of basketball around the world.

What is sighing is that the NBA, which is as popular as cooking oil in China, has no influence in the United States that even the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Federation) can match.

The sports competitions in the United States are roughly ranked according to the number of people who are watched: National Football League games, NCAA college football games, Major League Baseball games, NCAA college baseball games, NCAA basketball games, NBA games, ...... Then there are ice hockey and boxing, as well as other sports.

The influence of the NBA in the United States has never been as exciting as the Chinese people imagined.

If a Chinese basketball fan goes to the United States, turns on the TV, and adjusts the channel, if it is not baseball season, he will find that it is all live football, except for the NFL game, which is a college football game......

Occasionally, I saw a basketball, and after watching it for a long time, I didn't know the team logos of the two teams, because it was an NCAA college basketball game.

The NBA in the United States is a very embarrassing event in the eyes of Chinese people, except for the city where there is an NBA team, there will be a large number of die-hard fans, if it is game day, fans in other cities watch baseball in addition to football.

Under such objective conditions, no matter how you look at it, it feels like Caesar's acquisition of the Lakers will not cause much reaction.

However, the truth is that the media that has been slapped in the face by Caesar's influence is really not one or two.

People who don't care about basketball are curious, what is it about the NBA, which is said to be the seventh-most influential sports event, that attracts Caesar to buy a team?

People who care about basketball or know the NBA are optimistic about Caesar's acquisition of the Lakers, which is a Los Angeles-based team with promising commercial benefits.

However, the Caesar fans who like basketball are completely fried, because the Buss family obviously showed strong resistance in terms of wording when revealing the news of Caesar's acquisition of the Lakers.

It can be said that this press conference itself represents the attitude of the Bass family, and the elder Buss also hopes that Lakers fans can exert the necessary pressure on Caesar.

In the heart of old Bass. Fans around the world who own their home teams will not tolerate a team being bought by someone unrelated to it, and they will certainly protest against Caesar, just as the big four leagues have caused when the news of the acquisition has been announced.

However, what shocked the Bass family soon happened......

In the years of Caesar's meteoric rise, most Lakers fans have long been fans of Caesar, because not everyone in the United States likes basketball. Most of the people who like basketball also have their favorite home teams for football or baseball.

Speaking of Los Angeles fans, in the early nineties, most of the year, they could watch football games, and the "Los Angeles Raiders" and "Los Angeles Rams" have always been very competitive in the NFL league. In the spring and summer, after the start of Major League Baseball, the "Los Angeles Dodgers" will continue to devour fans' money and time.

The Lakers' games didn't actually appear much in the eyes of the Angelenos, and Caesar remembered that until the 1994-95 season, the two NFL football teams moved out of Los Angeles one after another, and there was no football team in the second largest city in the United States as the home team.

It was this rare opportunity for the Lakers to rise again that they finally reached the heights in Caesar's memory.

One might ask, why did the two rugby teams move? Isn't a rare big city like Los Angeles every team owner's dream?

As a matter of fact. The reason is simple, there is only one football stadium in Los Angeles, and that is the "Los Angeles Memorial Arena".

The biggest problem with this stadium is the address, the stadium located in the southwestern part of Los Angeles is really remote, which makes this stadium not only inaccessible, but also has the highest crime rate in Los Angeles.

The attendance of the 90,000-capacity stadium is not very high for each game, and when the game is broadcast, the camera pans over the audience. The scene in Bantangza is always embarrassing.

In the long run, all the football teams couldn't bear to leave Los Angeles, and after 1995, Los Angeles fans did not have a home football team for more than 20 years.

Also from 1995. The two leagues of American professional basketball and American professional baseball completely dominated all the attention of Los Angeles fans. In the winter, I mainly watched basketball, played the finals in the summer, watched baseball in the spring and summer, and played the finals in the fall.

The Los Angeles Lakers' ball market can be so hot, although there is a reason for the Showtime dynasty and the OK combination, but the main reason has to be said to be because there is no football team.

That's one of the reasons why Caesar bought the Lakers. After two more years, the rugby team will run out. At that time, although the Lakers can't dominate San Antonio like the Spurs, they are at least in a much better position than the New York Knicks.

The Knicks' ball market will be divided between teams from major leagues led by the "New York Yankees", baseball, ice hockey, and football...... In 2012, the New Jersey Nets will move to Brooklyn, New York, which is even more of a naked robbery of the Knicks' ball market.

New York, the Big Apple, has at least ten traditional ball game powerhouses to divide the fans, and the key is that they are all running very well...... The spending power of the world's first city can be seen.

Old Bass couldn't see this, and he couldn't see these future information, but looking at the banners supporting Caesar's acquisition outside the "Forum Arena" and the whining fan group, Old Bass, who was holding a cigar, was stunned for a long time, and even the cigar finally went out because he forgot to smoke it, he didn't feel it. (The full name of "Forum Arena" is "Great Western Forum Arena", which was the home team of the Lakers before moving to Staples Arena)

Since acquiring the Lakers, Buss Sr. has led the team to five championships (which he considers to have led...... In his heart, he will continue to lead the Lakers in the future.

During this period, Lakers fans will definitely support him, and this, he Jerry? Bass has always been convinced.

It wasn't until he released the news that Caesar was going to buy the Lakers that he discovered for the first time that fans always watched the players' on-court tables, as for the owner, the manager, and the coach......

The fans who put pressure on him quietly with banners in front of them are the best examples.

Just sell the team?

Although Old Bass roughly understood the final outcome in his heart, he was unwilling to sell the team like this.

Some of Old Bass's business partners and competitors had already put pressure on him through the Guò Jewish Association in America and other Jewish organizations. To say that he doesn't care is to be self-defeating, but it's the behavior of these fans that makes him the most unbelievable.

'Won't the five championships get you to support me in my tough time!' ’

Biting the mouth of the cigar and looking out the window, Old Bas was so hateful that he bit off the cigar directly and did not understand his hatred, so he lowered his head and stepped on the cigar on the ground several times before it was counted.

At this moment, these fans are shameful scum in the eyes of old Buss, it is Judas, and he wants to destroy the Lakers and not let these villains of Judas and Caesar succeed.

However, for seven days in a row, the fans switched shifts to sit in, and the police officers who had received the benefits could only watch from afar in the face of the ubiquitous crowd of reporters and cameras.

Now it's not the chaotic United States of the seventies, let alone Soviet Russia, these fans didn't make trouble and fight, didn't sabotage, and didn't even make a sound......

The media is so developed nowadays that it is not like in the United States in the seventies, when the police and the National Guard could casually cause a tragedy on campus during the anti-war period, and it would never make big news.

If you just have to sit in a sit-in, you will be arrested and the media will report it, and the face of the United States that claims to be a "model of democracy and freedom" will be swollen.

Of course, Caesar might be amused by the police's comments that the media is "too developed," but that doesn't stop him from watching the Los Angeles police helpless in front of the television.

Bass Sr. wants the fans to keep his team, or rather, he wants the fans to play an active role in keeping the team.

Now, however, no matter how you look at it, old Bass is a bad move.

Not only did the fans not help, but they were the last straw that accelerated the Lakers' change of ownership.

'There are always people who want to harm me! ’

Old Bass also felt the nameless fire after my attack this time, right? Caesar hugs Liv and little Kailin on the couch, watching the sit-in crowd on TV while her mind is full of malicious schadenfreude. (To be continued.) )
