Chapter Seventy-One: Hurry Up, How Much Does It Cost?
"Good ball, good ball! The Kings' hairstyle brother rookie Gu hit another mid-range shot!! ”
The 2010-2011 NBA preseason is in full swing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the field, Gu Yu took advantage of Cousins' containment to run to the weak side, received the ball and turned back, and before his body was completely twisted, he had already twisted his hand and shot it successfully.
"Wow!!"
As Gu Yu scored again, the Sacramento Sleep Train Arena was jubilant.
"Good shot! Gu Yu, you played beautifully!! ”
Around the stadium, there were many more Chinese faces, all cheering for Gu Yu, and they couldn't stop shouting and cheering.
"It's a good effect......!"
In the high-rise private room, Petri sat in his seat, but his eyes did not look at the game on the court, but kept scanning the surroundings, his face full of smiles.
"There is a Chinese in the team, and the market value of the team can double within a year!" Alexander really didn't lie to me! ”
In fact, it is not just a doubling, there is a Rockets full of money, many NBA teams know that as long as a Chinese is selected and given him starting treatment, the team's ticket prices, attendance, and broadcast ratings will rise sharply, just like riding a rocket.
This is the NBA in the market era, and this is the huge potential of the Chinese market!
"21 points! Gu has already scored 21 points! The new generation of scorers is thriving at the Kings and looks poised to become an important rotation player in the regular season! ”
At the scene, the local commentator in Sacramento did not forget to blow Gu Yu, he knew that at this moment, I don't know how many Chinese fans in front of the TV are watching the live broadcast of the game. If you say something wrong, it will be light to be sprayed, and if you don't do it, you will be troubled by the team and the TV station.
This society is like this, whoever can create economic value is the boss. All other factors have to be put aside.
And Gu Yu, there is no doubt that he is the cash cow of the weak Kings at the moment.
"Hmmm......"
On the bench, Westphaal was sitting precariously, looking at Gu Yu's performance, and nodded slightly.
From the preseason to the present, the team has won consecutive games and won constantly. While a pre-season win doesn't mean much, it's undoubtedly a good thing to build confidence for the upcoming regular season.
What's more critical is that Gu Yu and the team are almost seamlessly connected, and the vacancy of the No. 2 shooter that the Kings have been longing for was easily filled by Gu Yu. This is also good news for Westphal.
"In the regular season, although Gu's play will definitely be greatly limited, it is ......enough to play in the preseason and give a signal to other teams!"
Westfair thinks far ahead, and since the death of the unbridled Kings team at the beginning of the 21st century, one of the NBA's oldest teams has gradually fallen into the doldrums.
Although there is Artest's offensive and defensive all-around during this period, and Kevin Martin's scorer heritage, the decline of the Kings is an indisputable fact. In recent years, the Kings have been smashing pots and selling iron, selling what can be sold and swapping for what can be replaced, and throwing off all the old teams, with a clear purpose, that is, to rebuild!
With Evans as the outside core, and Cousins, who was drafted this year, as the axis on the inside, Westphal's only concern is the team's projection ability, or to put it bluntly, the ability of "other players to 'pick up the pot'".
Now with the "Receiver" Gu Yu, as long as Evans and Cousins' passes are in place, he almost has his hands open, although it is under low-intensity defense, but this is very helpful for the team's confidence building.
"When it comes to the regular season, there are a lot of routines to play."
Westphal, a veteran driver, has already begun to imagine what a fluid offensive frenzy the Kings can play in the new season.
“…… Beep, beep-!! ”
With a whistle blowing, the game was over, and the Kings won at home again, making it six wins in a row in the preseason.
“COME-AND-MAKE-SOME-NOIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE!!!”
The DJ lost no time in roaring, and the fans in the audience were jubilant, applauding and shouting vigorously, offering the highest respect for the wonderful performance of the players.
"My son passed it well!"
When he got off the field, Gu Yu waved to the audience on the sidelines and whispered praise to Evans beside him.
“…… You die. ”
Evans went down with a black face, but when he walked to the sidelines, he still stood down and glanced back at Gu Yu.
Although arrogant, and arrogant is extremely annoying, but ......
"It's good to pass the ball and be thrown in."
"Gu! Look at! Look at! Look at! ”
Around the stadium, Chinese fans began to shout Gu Yu's surname constantly, which made Gu Yu even more excited, laughing and greeting around, like a rock star.
"Gu, don't forget to connect for an interview later!"
The team staff stepped forward and handed Gu Yu towels and water, reminding him that he was afraid that Gu Yu would get carried away and forget everything.
"Uh-huh, I know, thank you for the reminder!"
Gu Yu nodded, and while drinking water, he wiped his sweat and walked to the sidelines.
The interview with the local TV station was very simple, back and forth with those few sentences "Is it cool to score a goal?" "Score high, don't you want to?" "How's it going to get along with your teammates?" "Are you being nice to you?" "The old four.
"Cool! Hi! Club! Good! After asking, I'm dying of heat! ”
Gu Yu's answer was even more simple and rude......
After a busy time, the fans in the stadium were almost gone, and when Gu Yu walked to the players' tunnel, many Chinese fans in the stadium surrounded him, stretching out their autograph books and pens one by one, wanting Gu Yu to sign a name to keep a souvenir.
"Everyone has a share, pay attention to safety, don't squeeze don't squeeze!"
Gu Yu was also dutiful, signed one by one, and remembered to remind the fans not to crowd each other, the fans who listened were happy in their hearts.
That's what a model of a player! Responsible, courageous, courageous, capable, and know how to care about the fans! You see, this is simply a high-quality puppet in the new era......
"Otherwise, if you fall down and stone me to death, my damn old man won't let you go!"
…… Vomit......
The fans threw up on the spot.
"Gu! This way, this way! Gu Yu!! Sign one for me too! ”
Signed, Gu Yu was about to leave the venue, and in the distance, a little Chinese fat man ran over panting, as fast as a battery car that was about to run out of power, and it hurt to watch.
"Don't worry, don't worry! I'll wait for you! ”
Gu Yu hurriedly opened his mouth and said loudly: "If you fall off this weight, I'm going to get pregnant!" ”
"Hahaha, you're so humorous......!"
The little fat man was not taboo, the boss scratched his head embarrassedly, and finally came to Gu Yu and signed the book.
"Mmmm, sign you a 'pay attention to your image, exercise'...... Well? ”
Gu Yu was halfway through signing in, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by a line of words in the notebook.
This line of words is clearly handwritten, the handwriting is correct and clear, and it is the Chinese square word that Gu Yu is most familiar with.
The font and text are not critical, the key is the content of the line......
"Brother Hairstyling, I want to talk to you about business!"
...... talking about business?
Gu Yu's eyes rolled and he raised his eyes to look at the little fat man.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
The little fat man did not shy away from it, and continued to touch the back of his head, and when he laughed, his eyes could not be seen, as if he had pinched two marks with his fingernails on the winter melon.
"...... talking about business?"
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to want to say it directly, Gu Yu simply opened his mouth and asked.
"Hey, yes, yes!" The little fat man hurriedly nodded and said, "We don't have any foothold in the United States, and we don't have any way to contact the official for the time being, so I want to find you directly!" Rest assured, it's definitely serious business! The main content of our business is ......"
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Without waiting for the little fat man to finish speaking, Gu Yu immediately waved his hand and shouted to stop, and then his eyes lit up and said, "Hurry up, how much?" ”
