Chapter 252: Bullfighting Invitational Tournament
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household visits the door, and the sound of firecrackers is everywhere, which is very lively.
The National Olympic Center is located on the south side of the North Fourth Ring Road in the capital, which was built and officially put into use before the 11th Asian Games in 90 years.
The entire Olympic Sports Center is very lively, with more than 6,000 seats filled, as if fans from the capital have gathered here.
Yesterday morning, it was reported that NCAA star Usilis Frederick had come to the capital to reunite with his family, and at noon a more exciting news broke out.
"Ussi is about to hold a bullfighting invitational tournament at the Olympic Sports Training Hall, inviting the three active centers of the national men's basketball team to participate."
These three centers are also known as the "moving Great Wall" on the basketball court.
Dazhi: 2.16 meters tall, weighing 125 kilograms, 24 years old this year, left-handed, the center with the most powerful offensive firepower, the captain of the Bayi team and the national men's basketball team.
: 2.10 meters tall, 132 kg, 26 years old, is the strongest inside meat shield.
Da Yao: 2.26 meters weight: about 120 kg, 21 years old this year, currently thin, is a substitute center,
Among them, at the Atlanta Olympics in '96, he gave NBA superstar "Admiral" David Robinson a big hot pot and made a name for himself, and was invited by the basketball teams of six American universities.
At the NBA Draft in June '99, Dazhi was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the 36th pick in the second round, but neither the Bayi team nor the national men's basketball team let go. Nominally, he was the first person to enter the NBA.
At present, none of these three excellent big men have officially entered the NBA, and none of the hidden commercial value has been developed.
Roughly the same as ****** in his future NBA career, but Da Yao entered the NBA Rockets as the top draft pick in the future, earning $220 million in his nine-year career.
The purpose of Usilis's visit to China is to sign these three mobile Great Walls into his investment company through commercial operations. This is the way to get the most out of your business.
According to the regulations of the Basketball Association, domestic players must be at least 28 years old to play abroad.
What Olympic Games, Asian Games, Asian Youth Games and other basketball events, the national men's basketball team needs a record in order to maintain the black yarn hat and commercial value, this, some can be bought out, and some can only be discussed!
If you want to settle this matter, one is how much money you pay. The second is the distribution of events, and the third is the equalization of interests.
Ten days ago, the operation team of Hilton Sisters Investment Company came to the capital in advance, registered a brokerage company, and secretly inspected and formulated a variety of cooperation plans.
The Hilton sisters couldn't guess what Usi was thinking, but they didn't object, and they didn't spend their own money anyway.
In fact, the invitation was sent out ten days ago. It's just that the national men's basketball team was still hesitating, until Ussi agreed to donate all the proceeds to the national men's basketball team for free as training fees, and all the problems were not problems.
Although the news was released a little late, the media of various countries stationed in the capital heard the news.
Ussi's family still waited for news from the newspapers. But they didn't complain, after all, it was Ussi's private matter.
A sum of broadcast fees were collected, and the leading group of the national men's basketball team suddenly changed from a negative attitude to the most active, active and joyful game organizer.
8 a.m. The weather was clear, and the sun was lazily rising, taking a slow walk in the sky. A hint of warm light is sprinkled and illuminates every corner of the capital.
The head coach of the national men's basketball team, Jiang Xingquan, assistant coaches Wang Fei, Zhang Bin, and Gong Luming came to the Olympic Sports Training Hall with all the members of the men's basketball team, which immediately attracted the encirclement and pursuit of the media.
Dazhi, ******, Da Yao, Liu Yudong, Sun Jun, Zhang Jinsong, Zheng Wu, Li Nan, Hu Weidong, Li Xiaoyong, Guo Shiqiang, Li Qun, etc., familiar faces appeared in front of the media and fans.
"This is the first time that an international star has issued an invitation to a domestic star to fight a bullfight, which symbolizes that China's basketball competition level has been internationally recognized, and also symbolizes that the people's pursuit of spiritual life has reached a new level...... We will try to perform well, friendship first, competition second,......"
Head coach Jiang Xingquan said a general sentence and walked away with the players.
Two Mercedes-Benzes with an extended Lincoln came, and Ussy's family, the Hilton sisters, and the investment company's operations team walked down.
Wearing a fur coat and sunglasses, Usiris was very cold, tall and majestic, like a lighthouse, which immediately attracted the attention of all the media.
"Mr. Frederick, I'm a CCTV reporter,......"
"Mr. Frederick, I'm a reporter for Phoenix TV,......"
"Hi Ussy, I'm a reporter for ABC,......"
"Hi Ussi, I'm a reporter from the AED,......"
The long and short recorders were handed to Ussy together, and excited faces were asking similar questions.
Usilis was in a good mood, took the initiative to take off his sunglasses, and said: "There is a group of great, hardworking, and humble people in this country, and I want to see how they play basketball?" Hehe! ”
A complimentary and humorous remark that drew a round of applause.
Ursiris said sorry and entered with his family and the Hilton sisters.
The snow around the training hall has been cleared, red lanterns are hung high everywhere, and there are festive Spring Festival couplets, paper-cutting, and other traditional handicrafts unique to China.
It was originally just a simple bullfighting invitational tournament, but because of different national conditions, a grand opening ceremony was arranged in advance. What is even more surprising is that ****** Deputy Prime Minister ****** actually attended on behalf of the country.
In fact, Usilis's grandfather was a retired senior official of the German Foreign Office, and his father was the German ambassador to China.
All but one of the eight outdoor basketball courts are all outdoors, and all but one of them is used as a court, as well as a temporary stage and an enclosed canopy as a temporary locker room, and heating fans are installed in many places, all of which are meticulously arranged.
Traditional Peking Opera, loud Qin dialect, and domestic superstars sang for free, and German students were also invited to participate in the performance, everything was lively and full of elements of the New Year.
An hour later, after ****** talked about the long history of the traditional friendship between the Chinese and German peoples, and emphasized the friendship first, the competitive spirit of the competition, and announced the start of the competition. (To be continued.) )
