252. The media is messy
"Ninety million in five years is indeed a bit low, but let's talk about it, one hundred million in five years should be able to talk, right? OK, that's good. Hua Ben said lazily on the sofa, the mobile phone was 'gurgling' in his hand, the phone book was opened, and the names of AI, Pierce, Duncan, Garnett, and Kobe Bryant were shining on it.
Eva spread her hands and explained, "How can you think that? Maybe you don't think about the salary, but there are a lot of things you need to understand behind it. If you sign a five-year contract of 90 million, then three years later, Daktronics signs a contract of 5 years and 100 million, what will happen then? Maybe Darko thinks you're the boss, but what about the fans? What about your opponents in the league? ”
"Secondly, if you sign low, how will you let Chauncey, Tyshawn, and Darko sign contracts in the future? Your ability is so high, but you sign a low contract, how dare they ask for a big contract? In the big picture, how can other players in the league ask for high salaries from their managers? You're going to be a card in the hands of the managers, and they're going to say, 'Hey, boy, you see that big guy in Detroit asked for sixteen million, and you dare to ask for a twenty million contract?' Are you better than him? You're going to offend a lot of the league players for that!' ”
"Finally, you have to understand, Ben, that your brotherhood is limited to Darko and Rashid, not to the capitalists on the board. If you have a low salary, your brothers will not get any benefit, you are saving money for those capitalists! And it will be like I said earlier, it will become the object of their use, you are only 16 million a year as the boss, how much can Daktronics get in three years? Have you thought about it? ”
Eva was analyzing the truth, and Huaben fell silent, having to admit that what Eva said made sense. For example, when Rashid first came to the Pistons, he used his salary to speak, and he was worth 17 million a year at that time.
At the same time, he also remembered an allusion in the Analects: Confucius's student Zilu boasted to him, saying that I had saved a child who had fallen into the water on the way to study, and his parents wanted to give me a cow to thank me, but I didn't take it. Zilu looked forward to Confucius's praise, but Confucius was extremely unhappy at the time, telling him, if you don't ask for anything in return, this matter will be spread, and other people will not want to repay for their righteousness and bravery.
"Come and see, I want to stay in Detroit, where I have my home and my brother." Waben sighed and said, he hugged Eva and pointed to the furniture in the living room, "This is where we have a relationship, and if we go to other cities, we will lose this good memory." ”
Hearing this, Eva softened, she put her arm around Huaben's thick neck, and said softly, "Leave it to me, Ben, I'll solve these problems." ”
Forget it, it's a big deal to take a step back, just let these funders in Detroit take advantage of it, what's the point of getting a little less salary? Eva compromised in her heart.
If it weren't for something important, Huaben would really want to communicate with Eva on **, and after the finals, there was finally no need to abstain. However, there is indeed something to be busy at this time, his remarks about Wang Zhizhi have been reported, different from his previous life, with the help of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi's father-in-law (head of the military region), the greasy relationship between Wang Zhizhi and the Basketball Association began to be shaken out. Hua Ben and his teammates' speeches strongly supported Wang Zhizhi's side, especially Hua Ben's fans, Aiwu and Wu firmly stood on the opposite side of the Basketball Association.
But this is not enough, since Hua Ben promised Yao Ming to help, he will definitely help to the end, he began to call friends in the league, Kobe, AI, Duncan, Garnett, Marbury, Webb, Carter In addition to O'Neal, who is now in trouble, and Anthony, who is bullying, he has notified most of the stars, including the little emperor. Not only him, Yao Ming is also mobilizing his own connections, but his relationship is not as extensive as Big Ben, and he found teammates such as Francis and Mobley to help, and for a while, the sports circle was surging.
Pierce and AI are the best brothers, the two held a press conference for the first time, AI is in the name of urging the team to add helpers to him, and Pierce is dedicated to Wang Zhizhi.
"King of China, that's good, I knew when I fought him, you look at my ass, who is still as strong as me since Barkley retired? I hit it with my ass, but I can't get in, do you think the king of China is powerful? Also, he shoots really accurately, a big man who is seven feet tall, who is more accurate than him in three-point shooting? Dirk. Nowitzki? Well, that's right, all in all, both of them are very accurate, and their abilities are comparable," Pierce said to the media with an oath.
AI great wisdom, knocking on the side, "I think I need a good low-post player, it is impossible for one person to win a team, look at this year's finals, O'Neal or Kobe Bryant is not good?" It's not a fiasco! I hope the club will take my opinion seriously and don't fool me with the lack of players, isn't that the Chinese king good? He has a nimble foot and can keep up with fast attacks; The range is very long, all over the three-point line; The inside line is very skilled, can be inside and out, I need a helper like that"
The 76-man uniform team called the AI for the first time, "Aaron, are you serious?" You want that big Chinese guy? The King of China? ”
AI: "Fuck off, what are you really doing with polite words?" I want that big guy in Detroit, hey, hey? How dare you hang up on me?! I want Ben. Wallace! Either trade to the big capital, or trade me away! ”
Francis came out in solidarity with his brother, and Boss Francis was indeed a good boss, "I am very familiar with the king of China, he and Yao often fight each other, and I am amazed by the abilities of both of them. I heard that he can't play in the Olympics for their country? Oh God, how terrible is the Chinese inner line, even such players are brushed off? Are they going for the gold medal this year? ”
Duncan is still so cute, and on the way to the Olympic training camp, he said in the face of reporters' questions: "The Chinese king was banned by their national basketball association? Oh, that's great, so I've got one less opponent in Athens, you know, I hate this guy who likes to run to the three-point line when he's a big guy, he's as dominant guy as I am. ”
Within a week, the NBA's No. 1 stars stood up to speak for Wang Zhizhi, which once made the media exclaim, is this year the 'Year of Zhizhi' after last year's 'Yao next year'? Or is this kid so well-connected in the NBA? Why are so many people talking about him?
For this reason, even the Flyer Yanjing was alarmed, and Jordan said questionably in Charlotte: "Wang Zhizhi? Which team is he from? Even my son is talking about him, saying that he plays the same as me, but why haven't I heard of it? Damn, it looks like our scouts aren't qualified, did they all go fishing? I'll have to take care of it myself, and if I can, I can get him into our team. ”
In 2004, the NBA expanded again, and the Bobcats became the 30th team, losing to Charlotte. At this time, the Bobcat is full of waste and lack of manpower, and as a small boss, Jordan is busy catching strong men.
The speeches of the NBA stars have sparked a wave of discussion in the sports media, and in China, the ban order of the Basketball Association is no longer good, because now there is a thing called the Internet, and more fans learn about world sports through the Internet. The details of Wang Zhizhi's entry into the NBA were revealed, and his first head coach Nelson Sr. told some inside stories in an interview, such as Wang Zhizhi did not refuse to play for the country, but just hoped that the Basketball Association would give him a little time to show in the summer league, and had promised to return to the team before the World Championships; For example, before the start of the game, Wang Zhizhi drove his Mercedes-Benz and felt Indiana, and asked the leaders of the Basketball Association to allow him to take him on the trip, but was indifferently refused
On June 18, a leader of the Basketball Association said to the media that the previous Olympic Games list was only a temporary list, and the final candidate had not yet been decided, and asked the fans to give the Basketball Association a little trust, and they would handle the matter properly. Some senior fans claimed that the leader had worked in Wang Zhizhi's parent team, Bayi Team, and things may have taken a turn for the better.
It's a pity that Huaben has no time to pay attention to this turnaround.
Just when the sports media were arguing about the Wang Zhizhi incident, the media in the entertainment industry were also unprecedentedly busy.
Bell accompanied Alba back to Los Angeles to find her agent, and since she found out she was pregnant, she has kept herself in her villa with little contact with the outside world. Since he found out that it was all a misunderstanding, Alba went to contact his agent and told him that he could help him with commercials or movies.
Her agent immediately inquired about the rumors about the pregnancy, and of course Alba firmly said that it was all rumors, so her agent carefully prepared and invited some big-name media in the entertainment industry to try to persuade Alba to hold a press conference to clarify the previous pregnancy incident.
Originally, according to Alba's agent's idea, as long as this matter is clarified, Alba can be returned to innocence and reshape her image as a jade girl.
Unbeknownst to all, things developed beyond everyone's expectations.
The pregnancy rumors more than half a month ago are still looming in the entertainment tabloids at this time, but because the two parties are silent, although the media think that they have acquiesced in this matter, they can't find the parties involved, and the news can't be compiled, and this matter slowly fades out of the field of vision of fans.
But as soon as this press conference was held, the tabloids and gossip websites went crazy, they didn't care what the truth of the matter was, they didn't care whether there was a love affair between Huaben and Alba, whether there was or not, it was in their hands. Some media even swore that Alba came to the press conference after giving birth, which made Alba want to cry without tears, the old lady is a mother mouse, and she didn't give birth so quickly, right?
It's the minor problem, the real big trouble is in the back. Alba's brain-dead agent found that his statement was not accepted, and even took out the case of Alba's physical examination in a New York hospital, and told reporters, you see, the hospital has proved that she is indeed not pregnant.
The reporters were in an uproar, isn't this the place where there are no three hundred taels of silver? If you don't have to worry about getting pregnant, who has nothing to do and go to New York for a medical check-up? In other words, at least there is a ** relationship between Alba and that basketball star?
What's more serious is that some media broke the news that Alba was indeed pregnant before, but then she had an abortion, and she had been recuperating a few days ago, and only went for a physical examination after her body recovered her health, in order to perjury her innocence.
This statement suddenly pushed Alba to the forefront of public opinion!
