Chapter 294: The three-point contest is a battle
Sometimes luck can't be stopped, and when bad luck comes, you can't avoid it no matter how much you want to dodge, Chaunse. Billups actually fell down while taking a shower in the bathroom of his house, and what was even more tragic was that he actually fell and cracked his ankle, and the doctor said that he needed to take a break for one and a half months. Thankfully Caron. Butler, Richard. Hamilton, Larry. The three of Hughes returned on time, otherwise they really don't know what would happen when they went to Salt Lake City this time.
The plane landed in Salt Lake City, and I followed the team out of the airport with my luggage. Malone and Stockton were waving at me.
"Michael, I want to take a leave of absence." I'm weak and Michael. Jordan said.
"Yes!" Michael. Jordan nodded and said, "Don't play too crazy, you have to go back to the hotel before 9 o'clock in the evening!" ”
I agreed, pulled my luggage and hurried to Carl. Malone and John. Stockton walked away.
"Salt Lake City's hellish weather, it's so cold!" I sat in the passenger seat towards Carl. Malone said.
"Be content! It's already February, and do you know what the lowest temperature was in Salt Lake City last month? "Carl. Malone said with a disdainful face.
"How many degrees?" I asked, turning my head
"-31 degrees! He's ***, I've been in Salt Lake City for almost 2o years, and it's the first time I've seen it at minus 31 degrees! "Carl. Malone turned up the heating in the car.
"By the way, you kid, your last game against the Timberwolves is over, how about playing with Reggie. Miller on the bar? "John. Stockton poked his head out in the back seat.
"Don't mention this, I don't know what's going on, Philip. Sanders said that my three-point shooting level is about the same as that of Reggie. Miller, that bastard, could spell it, but he didn't think of Michael. Jordan soared on the spot, and scolded directly, you said that in this case I can only follow Michael. Jordan's mouth went down and could only put Reggie. Miller is flat and flattened! I babbled on and on.
"But you're too good to shout to break Reggie. Miller has made a record of 43 consecutive three-pointers, and you're yelling at you to break his three-point record, and your damn dare to say it. "Carl. Malone moved the car.
"Ha, who is Kwame! Kwamei's little head turned, 43 games to shoot three-pointers, that's not a matter of minutes, as for the total three-point record, ha, this estimate has to wait for more than ten years, more than ten years later, who *** still remember that you once said that you can break this record, ha...... "John. Stockton laughed out loud in the back seat.
"Go, go, John, don't say those sarcastic things! I'm so cool in my heart now! "I do heartache and John. Stockton spouted.
"Did you watch S1AM this morning? The front page of this morning's "S1AM" featured a photo of Reggie. Miller's angry photo! Do you know what is written under the photo? "Carl. Malone turned his head and said with a smile.
"What was written?" I asked, surprised.
"Boy, don't think you're presumptuous if you're Jordan's pick! Lao Tzu will definitely teach you a good lesson in the next game! Harry ...... "John. Stockton learns from Reggie. Miller's voice said.
I patted my forehead with my hand to show my helplessness.
"You and Reggie. Miller's beam is too big this time, and I guess he's about to hate you now! "Carl. Malone said.
"Okay, don't talk about this, it's sad to mention it!" I said.
"Okay, don't talk about that! It's still early, let's go have a coffee first, and then go to dinner later. "Carl. Malone said.
In a single room at Starbucks. I, John. Stockton, Carl. The three of them gathered around to study the coffee that the waiter had just served.
Scooped up a spoonful of coffee and poured it into his mouth, warmed his internal organs, drove away a little cold on his body, felt a lot more comfortable, unbuttoned his collar, took off his coat, and began to talk to John. Stockton, Carl. Ma Long and the two talked about business.
"How's the shoes? Let's shop for it! "I got straight to business.
"We have produced 50,000 pairs in advance, and now we have spread the goods to major shopping malls, and we will start selling them as soon as our advertisements are placed!" Cal. Malone said.
"Is the advertisement ready?" I asked.
"Well, Christian and I did it ourselves, and the advertising shoes are what you said: basketball shoes that everybody wears, $3o each. However, Christian's shot was taken in a wheelchair, which may be a bit unlucky! "John. Stockton replied.
"It's nothing! When are you going to advertise? I asked again.
"Guess what?" John. Stockton smiled.
"Can't guess!" I smiled and shook my head.
"We bought the All-Star Game halftime commercial, our second ad was scheduled for the All-Star Game halftime break, and then we ran ads on major TV stations." John. Stockton said with a smile.
It's a really good idea, and the All-Star Game is a must-see game for all basketball fans, and the ratings are bound to be high.
"How much do you buy ads?" I asked again.
"2oo million bought 2o seconds! Including in the future, NBA TV broadcasts will also have 2o seconds when the game is broadcast. Stockton said. This price should be considered sky-high, but it should be fair compared to basketball shoes.
"Didn't you say you were going to be on 'The Late Show with David'? So when are you going to go? Can you connect it with our advertisement, so that it will be a big sensation! I asked with a smile.
"The day before the All-Star Weekend, on the evening of February 9th, we first went on the "David Late Show" to warm up the market, and then our advertising, and at the same time we put a large number of our basketball shoes on the market, I believe that our basketball shoes will be able to sell well with the help of the All-Star East!" John. Stockton looked confident.
"And how's the preparation for "The Late Show with David"?" I asked again
"Don't mention it, I was originally going to be on the show with Christian, but no one expected that Christian was injured so badly that he couldn't be on the show at all!" John. Stockton looked helpless.
"Didn't you last call and say you had a new idea? Why haven't you prepared yet? I said in surprise.
"I'm going to find a few kinematics experts, aerodynamics experts, and human body experts to go on the show together, and explain Nike, Reebok, Adidas, and our shoes on the show, so that those kinematics experts, aerodynamics experts, and human body experts can talk about the differences between various shoes, what are the essential differences, and what makes these shoes so expensive! What's the reason why they're so expensive. "John. Stockton said.
"That's a good idea! What's wrong? Isn't it possible to implement it? I asked again.
"The problem is that I can't find a famous one, the famous kinematics experts, aerodynamics experts, and human body experts I am looking for are basically related to major sports brands, and when I find them, they basically refuse, and those who do not refuse will open their mouths to ask for millions, which is simply a lion's mouth, so I pulled you over to discuss!"
I frowned, this is really a problem, the United States and China are not the same concept at all, China's so-called bricks and beasts are all straw guys, they don't have real skills, they all rely on the halo on their heads to deceive in the pit, if you just throw him some silver, he will help you fool around. But in the United States, the vast majority of the experts here are genuine, most of them are very professional, and most of them are inextricably linked to sports brands such as Nike, Adi, and Reebok. They won't put their reputation on it for tens of thousands of dollars, and they won't turn against those big sports equipment manufacturers for it.
I rubbed my hands on my temples to make my head move faster.
"How much do those experts who didn't refuse?" I asked, frowning.
"A sports mechanics expert is asking for $150,000, and he's working for Nike, and if he's on the show, then he's going to have to resign from Nike."
"An expert in human body science asks for 2oo million dollars, and now he works at Reebok, and the reason for such a high price is that he can't continue to stay at Reebok after he is on this show."
"It's really a bit high!" Cal. Malone said with a frown on one side.
3oo million dollars to invite two people to the show is indeed a bit high, I keep thinking about the gains and losses in my brain, I don't remember the previous Stephen. How Marbury did the commercial, but I know how big the role of these experts is in the United States, and if you want the show to be more effective, then you have to have the experts to speak.
"Did they say what they would do when they quit?" I asked again.
"I didn't ask that! Is there a problem? "John. Stockton asked, confused.
"What are their salaries at Nike and Reebok?" I asked again.
"That sports mechanics expert is $150,000 a year, and that human body science expert is $2o million!" John. Stockton replied.
"Are there experts like them in the design companies we acquired?" I then asked.
"Nope! Their salaries are not something that a small company like ours can afford. "John. Stockton continued.
"When we grow big in the future, we will inevitably hire experts like them, ask them if they are willing to join our company, and we will give each of them a salary increase of $50,000 per person per year, but the cost of their show will be halved." I came up with an idea.
"What if they don't want to halve?" Cal. Malone asked.
"This is just a reference, the specific can be discussed again, you can talk to them again, but you have to make a deal with them, no matter how much it costs, today is already the 4th, and if we drag it out, our plan will be completely ruined." ……
Things slowly came to an end, and I, John, and I. Stockton, Carl. Malone began to carefully taste Starbucks coffee and began to ramble.
Just as we were in the middle of a day, my phone rang, and I quickly pulled out the phone and saw that it was Michael. Jordan, I quickly pressed the answer button.
"Kwamei, just got the news, Reggie. Miller to David. Stern has applied to join you in the Three-Point Contest this year, and he's ready to compete with you in the Three-Point Contest! "Michael. Jordan said in a voice on the other end of the phone that was calm and full of excitement.
