Chapter 1076: The Broadcast Contract Is Negotiated (Fourth Update!) )

Pelican fans are definitely the most excited fans of the season.

After beating the Thunder and Rockets in quick succession, they spent the next week witnessing the home team abusing the Jazz, Timberwolves and Nets in doubt.

In five games, he averaged 33.2 points per game!

This game is played like play.

However, it is not only the Pelicans that are strong, the Cavaliers and Mavericks have also won five consecutive games after the start of the game.

The Cavaliers also have an average of 15+ net outscores per game, and their five-star roster looks to be running in very well.

While fans are looking forward to the Pelicans game, they are also looking forward to the Pelicans and these two teams playing each other.

Headquarters in New York.

Xiao Hua just hung up the phone from Lakers owner Jenny Buss.

"This woman!"

He scolded angrily, and the whole person's mood looked quite bad.

Jenny had just put pressure on him on the phone again, and this stinky woman was much more difficult to deal with than her previous brother, Jim Buss.

But that's also the scene he's facing right now.

How happy the Pelicans are to win, how bad his mood is.

The Knicks and Mavericks really weren't enough for him.

Borgia was there to stop talking.

Xiao Hua adjusted his breathing, saw that Borgia seemed to have something to say, and motioned for him to say after sitting down.

Borgia hesitated for a moment, but thinking that paper can't hold the fire, what should be known still needs to be known, and then chose to speak.

"I've heard from sources that FOX is about to sign a broadcast contract with the Pelicans."

"What?!"

Xiao Hua's mood had just calmed down, and he suddenly jumped up from the seat again.

The Pelicans signed an exclusive broadcast contract, which was more lethal than anything he had heard before!

This means that the Pelicans may survive alone in the future, even if they do not enjoy the benefits of the league!

And the key is that FOX, the media that had a close relationship with him before, betrayed him in front of interests!

"Stop them!"

Xiao Hua almost roared.

Borgia was taken aback, and nodded when he came to his senses.

Just like Xiao Hua had to check the pelicans' yin-yang contract before, this billion-dollar business can't be stopped by saying that it can be stopped.

But now he has also learned how to do things under Xiao Hua.

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, I will agree first.

It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.

After returning to New Orleans after the away game against the Nets, Tang Tian received a call from Benson.

It was he who was ready to sign the contract.

Originally, the media and the team's broadcast contract, the players would not be involved.

But because this contract involves things after Tang Tian retires, he also has to participate.

"We are grateful that you can trust us again, and I am sure that we will have a great time working together for the next decade and beyond."

The person sent by FOX this time has good public relations skills, and he greeted Tang Tian warmly when he came up.

After thinking about it for nearly half a month, the Pelicans' strong performance finally made FOX choose to compromise.

They are willing to accept the Pelicans' previous offer of a 10-year, $1.6 billion broadcast contract.

However, it is different from the proposal given by Tang Tian before.

Because Tang Tian is an active player, according to the current law, he can't sign a contract like 160 million for 1 year in the Pelicans, not 60 million.

That would be tantamount to the player hijacking the interests of the team.

The reason why this broadcast contract involves Tang Tian is because there is a note in the contract that Tang Tian will have the right to buy 10% of the Pelicans shares after retiring.

This is now allowed by law, and it is what Benson and the management team finally agreed to after discussion.

And FOX's willingness to back down is largely due to this additional clause.

With this clause, Tang Tian becoming a Pelicans small owner is almost a sure thing, plus his career in New Orleans.

There was really no reason for him to leave New Orleans, even for the next ten years.

"FOX and Pelicans reached a 10-year, $1.6 billion broadcast contract."

When the news hit major media sites the next day, it caused a major earthquake throughout the NBA league.

"This broadcast contract is sky-high! That's more than the Lakers every year, right?! ”

"That's right, this is the NBA's highest-paid annual broadcast contract, and the Pelicans are now a giant team!"

"TNT and ESPN are at a loss! The league was also stupid this season, and it only gave the Pelicans 24 all-American broadcasts......"

"ESPN is brain-dead themselves, take a look at its season predictions! The Pelicans are playing like this, they're going to beat them stupid! ”

"Hasn't ESPN's reputation improved in recent years? Why did you suddenly become mentally retarded? Could it be because of Xiao Hua? ”

"Absolutely, poor TNT, the Big Three are all Tang Blowing, but they can't stand up to their pig teammates!"

"I think Xiao Hua may not be able to pass this year's assessment period, the NBA is about to become the Pelicans, this is a fart!"

"The shorter the news, the more miserable Xiao Hua is!"

……

Fans are talking about it on social media, but the reaction of the league's teams is far greater than the reaction of the fans.

Originally, the NBA was such a cake, and the Pelicans have snatched almost eighty or ninety percent of it in the new season.

Now on top of this cake, the Pelicans have made a new cake of their own.

This is really more popular than people!

At this time, the most angry is Lakers owner Jeanie Buss.

The Lakers have been rotten for years, and Time Warner has put a lot of pressure on her.

Now the Pelicans are doing this again, and they really push her into a desperate situation.

She was not even interested in complaining to Xiao Hua now.

Because she already knew Xiao Hua's incompetence, she supported Xiao Hua's comeback at the beginning, and now her intestines are really about to regret it.

"The way to break the situation is to beat them and put the spotlight back on our side."

At this time, Linda Rambis was sitting opposite her, and seeing her best friend's panicked look, she said in a calm tone.

"How to beat?"

Jenny also knew that the best way to make it was to beat the Pelicans, but it had been almost half a month, and the Pelicans had done nothing but abuse.

The Lakers took the lead to beat.

"I'm talking about next season."

Linda's mind is still relatively clear.

"LeBron, Durant, George, even Jordan Jr., Anthony have their contracts expired, and we can put together a super team that is big enough to beat them."

After hearing this, Jenny's original anxious mood calmed down a little.

What Linda said wasn't entirely impossible.

"I'm in contact with LeBron's team, and what I can deduce is that if the Cavaliers still fail this season, he's going to leave Cleveland and he's very interested in joining Los Angeles, where his home is now."

Linda's next words made Jenny look forward to it.

As an advisor to the Lakers for more than 20 years, Linda has planned many things, and as a best friend, she also trusts her.

"LeBron is coming, I'm going to be in contact with George and everybody else, even Durant, and we're going to have a great opportunity.

But until then, we're going to get rid of all the junk contracts in our team and we're probably going to need space at that point. ”

"I'll let Maji do it right away."

Jenny is already looking forward to hearing this, next season, she really wants the Lakers championship!
