121: Commercial sponsors and liars
The next day, Li Guanyu called and exchanged $20,000 in coins and sent them to the alliance's headquarters in New York. This move immediately attracted the attention of the global sports community - it was the first time that a player dared to provoke the league headquarters in this way, and those experts who looked down on Li Guanyu immediately started to talk about it, and swore one by one that David Stern would definitely give Li Guanyu small shoes to wear.
However, this move left a good impression on Li Guanyu in the hearts of North American basketball fans, who love rebellious, arrogant and unruly players. Soon, under this kind of attention, the video of Li Guanyu Stamps squirting blood, which was not very popular in North America, became popular all of a sudden. Almost every fan marveled that Li Guanyu was the league's new generation of Allen Iverson, and the number of views on YouTube exceeded 20 million in half a day.
At this moment, those experts were dumbfounded. They hollowed out their hearts and wanted to use their mouths and pens to ban Li Guanyu, but they didn't expect Li Guanyu to resolve the crisis by just sending a cart of coins with a sword, and also opened up his popularity in North America in one fell swoop.
What made the experts even more stunned was that David Stern said with a smile on his face in an interview: "Lee is a shocking player, both on and off the court. I don't care if he sends a check for $20,000 or a cartload of coins, as long as it's a lot of money, I don't have any opinion. Even if he didn't have more than ten dollars, I might have paid it for him. ”
David Stern's weighty teasing words made everyone dumbfounded, when did he become so generous? But if you think about it, David Stern is a businessman, and there is nothing wrong with this approach.
Now is the age of eyeballs, and topics are king. Now that Li Guanyu has a topic in his body, why should he kill it by force?
Meanwhile, Michael Jordan followed David Stern closely in David Stern's footsteps. "I wanted to sign Lee, in fact I had that idea when I was in Las Vegas, but at that moment I hesitated," he said. I regret that if I had signed him at the time, it would have been a lot less than that. Now, tens of millions of annual salaries may not be able to sign him for sneaker sponsorship. He has a vast East Asian market, and when I came back from this last week, his posters were all over the streets, and they were more popular than me. ”
When the reporter continued to ask Michael Jordan if he would sign Li Guanyu for more than LeBron James, his answer was: "Why-not? ”
Michael Jordan's 'why-not? Immediately pushed Li Guanyu to the cusp. Doubts arose - could that data brush get an advertising contract bigger than Chosen-One? Michael is not mistaken, right? He must be brain-dead again, and this will definitely be another brain-dead deed after he signed Kwame Brown for the first prize.
While experts sharply criticized Michael Jordan, the head of Adidas publicly said: "After rigorous market analysis, adidas is willing to pay a price of 100 million for six years to sign Li Guanyu." ”
Suddenly, the whole basketball circle was shocked - are they all crazy? Such a big price for a rookie? If adidas is willing to pay such a large price to sign Li Guanyu, why did it sign Derrick Rose? Isn't this a waste of resources?
"I don't want to say too much about the business side, I just want to say that I'm looking forward to meeting the Miami Heat." One of the parties, Derrick Rose, said in an interview, and it was difficult to hide the sour expression - the amount of sponsorship of my champion sneakers is not as good as that of a second-round show?
“lee? super-lee? $100 million in six years? I was shocked, it's a number that makes me all staggering, oh, I would say that my rookie season stats were 20+5+5. LeBron James said disdainfully in an interview that he has been watching Li Guanyu unhappy since he won him $2 million. How could he not be indignant that he had just taken away his record for the youngest triple-double, and now that he had a bigger business contract than him?
"However, he's already had four triple-doubles this year, and all four of them have broken the record for your youngest triple-double." A reporter took the opportunity to ask.
"You know, this kind of data can be used as long as I want to. But I'm a player who puts winning first, stats? I don't really care. LeBron James said sourly.
At this time, Li Guanyu, who was sitting at the Satmento Hotel and watched this show, muttered angrily: "You just pretend, any player is qualified to accuse me of swiping data, but you are not qualified." ”
Disgusted, Li Guanyu hurriedly switched to a station, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the picture of the TN/T channel - Mr. Charles Barkley and his tattoo artist were doing a live show in the hospital.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Next, we were about to head to Mr. Bill Simmons' hospital room, and I had just consulted with his attending doctor. Dr. Smith told us with great certainty that Mr. Bill Simmons could handle the stimulation of tattoos. Bill Simmons said as he walked with the microphone.
Led by Charles Barkley, Li Guanyu saw Bill Simmons watching TV on his hospital bed in a hospital room.
"Mr. Bill Simmons, I'm Charles Barkley. I found the best tattoo artist for you, he even speaks ancient French and Chinese, I asked him to bring a few samples, you can choose. Personally, I think the 'liar' pattern in Chinese is the best. Charles Barkley crackled, then took a beautifully decorated book from the tattoo artist and carefully placed it in Bill Simmons' hand.
"You can choose well, and if you're afraid of pain, I can call Dr. Smith to come in and give you some anesthetic." Charles Barkley smirked. Bill Simmons's hands were already shaking as he opened the book, and deep down he had begun to regret his previous lies—why should I keep my mouth shut in the first place, if I knew it was so?
And Li Guanyu, who saw this scene in front of the TV, couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart that Bill Simmons was really guilty, he let ESPN bully him last time, and now he has made TN/T push it again.
"Sir, have you made your choice?" Barkley urged, and by this time the tattoo artist had already set up the tools, put on a mask and held a needle drill majestic.
"I... I ......" Bill Simmons hesitated - this is a shame.
After hesitating and tangling for a long time, he finally closed his eyes and pointed at his hand, and said, "That's it." ”
Charles Barkley looked along his finger and shouted: "Congratulations, this is Chinese!" ”
At this time, the camera also followed, so Li Guanyu in front of the TV easily saw the three block letters 'liar'. At the same time, countless Chinese watching the show spontaneously applauded - what could be cooler than the Chinese giving the arrogant Yankees a slap? In a sense, these three quaint Chinese characters are equivalent to 'We Chinese are not easy to bully'.
"Left or right?" The tattoo artist walked over and asked in a whisper.
"Left hand!" Bill Simmons echoed weakly, in his opinion, his left hand did not need to be used often, and it was okay not to see. But he didn't know that the 'left' had a higher status in China than the 'right'.
"Oh!" The tattoo artist answered, brought two racks, and held his left hand firmly in place, after making sure that he could not pull away. Apply alcohol to it, then slowly carve it with an electric drill.
Yes...... Woo...... Hey...... Oh...... Well......
While Bill Simmons grinned his teeth, the slut Charles Barkley voiced everyone, constantly screaming as if it was pain and enjoyment.
This move provoked Li Guanyu in front of the TV to laugh again, and said in his heart that this is Charles Barkley's real cheapness.
After about fifteen or sixteen minutes, the tattoo artist finally stopped, and after applying some paint on it, he clapped his palms and took off his gloves and masks. Bill Simmons, who was as earthy as the color of the opposite, bowed deeply and said, "The tattoo is very successful, it is a pleasure to serve you, I hope you can enjoy it." This time it costs $828, thank you! ”
After hearing this, Bill Simmons' eyes suddenly widened, and his right hand trembled and pointed at Charles Barkley and asked in shock: "Charles, I still have to pay for this?" Isn't it from your TV station? ”
After hearing this, Charles Barkley shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly, "I'm sorry, sir." We don't have the budget for it, and our mission is just to help you get the best tattoo artist to fulfill your promise. However, if you don't have any cash on you, I can provide you with some small interest-free loans. ”
“fu*k!” On the spot, Mr. Bill Simmons burst out foul language, and because it was a live show, there was no time to silence it.
After Li Guanyu heard this, he immediately leaned back with laughter, and his stomach cramped - why is Charles Barkley so damaged? Could it be that their superstars in the 90s are all so distinctive?
As soon as he finished laughing, the team management came and knocked on the door, signaling that Li Guanyu could get on the bus to the home court of the Kings.
There was no way, Li Guanyu could only reluctantly turn off the TV and walk out with his bag. Although he was suspended tonight, as a Miami player, he still had to wear a suit to applaud.
