Even the most innocent fans must believe that the league has given special treatment to certain players.

Because it's the obvious truth......

Because of the prevalence of individual heroism in the United States, the league needs stars, and needs stars with outstanding abilities, so that fans are willing to spend money.

If a group of players are all of the same level, and there are no top-notch players among them, where do the fans want to spend their money? Because everyone is about the same level......

In fact, competitive sports, no matter what the sport, have this characteristic.

Let's not talk about the competitive sports in the United States, let's talk about the domestic sports in China, such as the big demons of the national table tennis team......

Are they strong?! Absolutely strong, the most powerful table tennis players in the universe are them.

In terms of profitability, can the profitability of these table tennis players be compared with Liu Xiang?! Apparently impossible......

The reason is that there are no top-notch players, table tennis players are indeed very strong, but everyone is strong, and there are no players who are too top-notch.

Liu Xiang is different, he is a top track and field player in the country, and the attention he enjoys is definitely different.

This principle is the same in the NBA, there is a contrast between the strong and the weak......

At present, because of the purpose of developing the Chinese market, Stern looks at Dazhi differently and gives him the same treatment as a superstar.

In the future, Stern may be treated like other rookie superstars for other purposes......

……

"Smack!"

"That damn Richard, damn Ben Wallace, damn Trailblazer!"

After Carl Malone learned the news, he directly smashed the cup in his hand and jumped to his feet in anger.

He had every reason to be angry, because he was now being forced by Big Ben to the point where he had to say yes......

Ma Long's character in the alliance has always been an iron-blooded tough guy!

If someone else provokes Ma Long so much, Ma Long probably just laughs it off, after all, the two sides are not a heavyweight, and the other party must not have to accompany him if he hypes himself......

But now it's different, Big Ben and Marlon have a relationship like rivals.

Coupled with what Richard said at the press conference, Ma Long is now a little difficult to ride.

……

He is very clear about his current state, compared to last season, his physical strength, reaction speed, etc., there has been a certain degree of decline, let him and Big Ben go to fight unlimited fighting, he is not sure that he can take advantage.

If he left it two years ago, he agreed without saying a word!

Because there is no reason not to agree at all, this thing is just like Richard thought, to make a lot of money, and to be able to teach the opponent a good lesson, it is simply a good thing to add pie......

But now it's different, he really can't be sure that he can win the big capital.

……

"Carl, don't worry, the team came forward to refuse those ridiculous boys directly!" Sloan also knew Ma Long's current mood, and couldn't help but speak.

"No, you can't refuse!"

"If you refuse, you'll never guess what Richard will do, what kind of humiliating things he will say to me!"

"This matter, you must agree!"

"Don't worry, I'll make that kid pay!"

"Coach, prepare for the pre-game press conference, since he wants to make himself ugly, I'll give him a chance!"

"Big deal, in the next time, I will train a lot and try to adjust my condition to the peak!"

Malone waved his hand directly at Sloane and said, let him refuse Big Ben's invitation to fight, he can't afford to lose this face.

The main reason is that he is too jealous of Richard, and if he refuses, Richard may say something that will make him lose face.

So, you have to say yes!

Sloan didn't say anything more, sighed and turned to leave the training ground.

He didn't know what kind of blood mold he had poured now, how he provoked Richard's evil star in a good way.

Now Richard is biting Jazz to the death, and there is no intention of reconciliation at all, which makes Sloan quite helpless.

He must have wanted to reconcile with Richard, but the Utah Twin Warriors couldn't have agreed, because they also wanted to save face......

took the initiative to reconcile with Richard, which is tantamount to saying that they confessed.

If he doesn't reconcile, Richard will bite Jazz and won't let go, and he will engage in Jazz for three days.

Looking at the current situation, there may be a reconciliation between the two teams, either Richard quits the NBA, or the Utah duo retires or leaves the Jazz, otherwise, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two teams at all!

This annoyed Sloane considerably......

Originally, he predicted that the alliance would intervene in this matter, but after waiting for more than a day, the alliance didn't let out a single fart, as if he didn't know about it at all.

Now there is no way, Marlon has already opened his mouth to fight.

I can only bite the bullet, hold a press conference, and agree to the invitation from the Pioneers!

……

"Since Ben-Wallace has this self-inflicted humiliation, then there is no way that I, Karl Malone, will back down!"

"I hope he buys insurance first!"

"Time and place are whatever Ben-Wallace wants!"

Karl Malone is also hard, he didn't back down at all, and at the pre-game press conference, he finalized the matter......

Journalists are ecstatic, this year's offseason is definitely going to be lively!

Originally, reporters were quite looking forward to the arrival of this offseason, because the Trail Blazers' lineup will have a lot of changes.

Now it seems that the real exciting thing is not the change of the Trail Blazers' lineup, but the unlimited fight between Big Ben and Ma Long!

……

"Coach, that old guy agreed!"

"I'm going to knock out his teeth this time, and I'm going to make him pay!"

When Big Ben heard that Malone had accepted his invitation to fight, he rushed to Richard's room.

Richard nodded, "Ben, don't be careless about this matter, since the other party said that the time and place are up to you, then delay it as much as possible!" ”

"I'll find someone to help you hire a reliable fighting coach and train you well!"

"This is also an opportunity for you, an opportunity to increase your popularity!"

Big Ben is the defensive core and spiritual leader of this Trail Blazers, but his popularity is far inferior to Kobe Bryant, even compared to Xiao Ao.

In the starting five, he may be a little more popular than Robinson......

It can't be helped, here's the downside of blue-collar players, it's hard for them to get that kind of popularity as an attacking player.

And if Big Ben can become popular this time, it will also be quite beneficial to his future development.

It can even attract some crossover fans, such as fighting fans, fighting fans, boxing fans, etc......

In terms of physical fitness, Big Ben actually has the physical fitness that a boxer should have, the strength is enough, and the flexibility is a little worse, but it's still early, and it will definitely improve after the special training.
