Since Carlisle announced that Lin Tian had twisted his ankle in that unbelievable way and needed to be out for 1-2 weeks, Lin Tian did not appear on the team's training ground again, and he began a happy rest.

And in the few days when Lin Tian rested, the Pacers' record was a little bad.

Without Lin Tian, it seems that they suddenly can't play, and they have played very badly in several games in a row!

Before the All-Star break, the Pacers played a total of 5 more games, the team only had a pitiful 1-4, and the Magic team behind them also made another effort, and they were only one last step away from catching up with the Pacers!

Fortunately, at this time, the All-Star Game started and all games were suspended, and the Pacers were given a respite to get some rest before moving on to their season.

Many people believe that if it weren't for the All-Star Game, the Pacers would definitely be overtaken by the Magic and fall back to second place in the East again!

And just two days before the start of All-Star Weekend, which was also the day the Pacers' Carter, Webb and Miller left for Washington for the All-Star Game, Stern called Lintian.

"Lin, you bastard! You're not coming to All-Star Weekend! Do you know how much viewership this will cost the league? Believe it or not, I let the referees target you and make you not get a single free throw in the second half of the season! ”

"Mr. President, I'm recording, you'd better pay attention to your words!" Lin Tian pursed his lips, the time to come is indeed here!

Stern is also tolerable enough, originally Lin Tian thought that as soon as the news of his injury came out, Stern would have to call to question it, but he didn't expect that he could endure it until the start of the All-Star Games.

"Record, you damn bastard! I thought you were just two days off and you'd be back at the All-Star Game! Who knew you could be such a jerk? Look at Anferne! He didn't play a regular season game back then, and he came back to play the All-Star Game! ”

"So he's got a lot of injuries, he's been getting hurt, right, is he an All-Star this year? Hey, wait, shouldn't he have played a single regular season game now, and he's still being reimbursed! ”

Lin Tian has always refused to give Stern face, and directly hit Stern's vital point, so that this old fox was speechless for a while.

"It's different! Anferni is really injured, really injured, if you don't come, you won't come, you kid, I don't believe you're really injured! Stepping on a bottle and twisting your foot? Can't you just find a better reason? ”

"What reason? Watching a concert and being blinded or falling while taking a shower at home? Or did you cut your fingers while peeling an apple? Compared to those stupid reasons, I think it's more normal to step on a water glass. ”

"So you bastard, you're not hurt, are you?"

"No, I'm hurt! I can't even walk, Mr. President, you have to believe me, but if I can walk, I will definitely go to the All-Star scene and contribute to the development of the league! ”

"Stop! I can spare you this time, but next time."

"I will definitely participate in the next session! Certain! Lin Tian immediately said that there was no problem with the next session, anyway, he verbally agreed, and if he didn't go to the next session, he would talk about it.

"What about the next event?"

"Participate in it too, participate in it all!" Lin Tian continued.

"We're going to do something new and interesting next season, you."

"Come on, come on, come on, I'll win the championship, go all out!"

"A word?"

"It's a deal!"

Lin Tian felt that he was like coaxing his grandson, what was the matter with this Stern, like a child, he still had to be coaxed like this? With this kind of verbal promise, he has a fart!

That's it, I'm recording anyway, we'll see you next year! Stern on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "If you don't come next year, I'll be really angry!" I promise to make it tough for you every season after that! ”

"Also, if you don't come to Washington this year, that's fine, but you have to shoot the VCR you should shoot, and you have to do the public welfare activities you should do! And then make it more realistic for me, and make your injuries a little more realistic for me, understand? ”

"Rest assured."

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he quickly hung up the phone, this old man is really annoying!

Still recording? Childish is not childish!

As for next year, let's talk about it, talk about it again!

As soon as he hung up the phone with Stern, Lin Tian's phone rang again: "Damn, Lin, why don't you come to Washington?" I've got a lot of good shows for you, and I want to get together with you and Scott. ”

It's Jordan who called this time!

"Michael, what am I doing in Washington? We are number one in the East, you are the bottom of the East, and there is nothing to communicate with at all. Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Or, do you want me to help you recommend next year's champion show?" Didn't I already recommend it to you? ”

"In the Olympics, the one who used Wen and Antonio as targets, my little brother Yao! He won't let you down! ”

"I don't need your recommendation! For the draft, I have my own ideas! I'm calling you because I have something else to tell you! When Jordan said this, he suddenly smiled mysteriously: "You say, how about I make another comeback next season?" ”

"Yes, you are responsible for the comeback, and I am responsible for pressing you to the ground and beating you!" Lin Tiandao: "What use can you have when you come back at this age except to be pressed to the ground by me and beaten?" ”

"I'm leading the team to the playoffs! I'm thinking about it now. For Lin Tian's ridicule, Jordan was able to turn a blind eye, but said directly: "Championship, at my current age plus the lineup of the Wizards, it is impossible." ”

"But making the playoffs, absolutely no problem! I can't accept a bunch of idiots getting paid for nothing in the team! I've decided that I'm going to come back next season and teach this group of young guys what basketball is! ”

"Take them for a year, I will retire again, and then continue to be the president, and when the time comes, hehe, the Wizards, these little rookies, will become the little wolf cubs who have been nurtured by me! They're sure they'll be able to complete the transformation and win the championship! ”

"And the super genius we're going to pick this year! I'm going to teach him by example and let him improve quickly and become the cornerstone of the team!" I've already planned that next season I'll come back and lead the team to the playoffs, then retire, and in three years, this team will be a championship contender! ”

"In the end, they'll kill you, Shaq, or someone else and become the real champion!"

Jordan's analysis, so to speak?

It's beautiful!

It's all imagination, not a bit of reality!

As for Jordan's fantasies, Lin Tian didn't bother to correct him, Lin Tian had other ways to hit him.

"Michael, the league rules say that you can't play with the team's shares, and if you come back, you have to sell your shares first."

"Sell it, sell it, it's temporary anyway! When I finish playing for a year, I can just buy it back. "Jordan at this moment, naïve and ridiculous!

"What if people don't sell you? People are just for your attention? When you come back, there's no need for people to sell you any more equity, right? Lin Tian said mercilessly: "Michael, I guess that this bad idea of your comeback was not something you thought of yourself. ”

"It's the advice given to you by the big boss in Washington, and I guess he even promised to give you a discount when you buy another stake in the team, and he will sell you more, right?"

"Yes... Indeed, that's the case, it's going on......" Jordan's tone suddenly became less confident, obviously, what Lin Tian said was all right!

"Then you have to think about it carefully, these capitalists are very bad! Compared to them, Phil is a simple and cute big boy! As soon as Lin Tian heard Jordan's tone, he knew that he was right, and immediately began to fall into the ground: "When you sell the shares, everything will not allow you!" ”

"Who will be swept away like a lost dog? Who wants to work for a year for nothing with a basic salary? Who couldn't lead the team to the playoffs and had a bleak night, and was ridiculed by everyone? ”

“FUXX！ Lin, you're! Nonsense! I don't believe what you say! Lao Tzu and Bomo are good buddies! He won't lie to me! ”

"Whatever you want, if you don't listen to your real good fellow, but you want to listen to the nonsense of a fake good fellow who knows where it came from, then you will be treated like a dog, and you will not be able to complain!"

“FUXX！ You're just! Go to hell, Lin! After Jordan cursed two more swear words, he hung up the phone directly.

When he called Lin Tian, he was in a good mood, but now? He's in a terrible mood!

His bad mood, Lin Tian also felt it for the first time!

"Michael Jordan has a mood swing and drops 1000 XP!"

Tut-tut, look! Look at Jordan Lao Tie, after people become bosses, the experience that falls out is different, one is 4 figures, the other is 4 figures! It's the atmosphere! It's completely different from those players who search and buckle the rope!

As for whether Jordan will make a comeback next year, and will he continue to make stupid choices and start his poor career as a general manager?

Lin Tian said: Master did his best, Jordan CBA.

It's all hinted like this, Jordan chooses Kwamei again, so who can blame him? Is it strange that Lin Tian didn't take Da Yao's hand and then hand him to Jordan's hand?

Do you have to chew it and feed it to your mouth? That's disgusting, too!

Don't say Jordan can't do it, even if it's Jordan's wife!

It's not Lin Daguan's dish.

But if it were Pippen's daughter-in-law Larsa, Kidd's daughter-in-law Jurna, Parker's wife Eva, Barria's two wives Vera and Ortiz, Lefou's wife Kate Pock, Jarich's wife Lima, and Horford's wife Emily Vega, Lin might still be willing to do this.

Kindness?

No, I, Lin Daguan, how can I casually say the names of so many wives with one mouth?

Lao Tzu is obviously a fan of Shu Han, how can there be a legacy of Wei Wu?

It's not scientific!

Lao Tzu is not such a person!

Just when Lin Tian fell into deep self-doubt, and even felt a little guilty and sad about his betrayal of the Shu Han family, there was a knock on the door of his house.

Then there was no need for Lin Tian to open the door, Pelinka came in directly with someone.

This guy has always been no different from coming home to himself.

The people Pelinka brought, needless to say, are the people of AND1!

Today's is Austin, who has the best relationship with Lin Tian and can usually talk the most, this guy has changed to an exaggerated reggae head, and he doesn't look like the president of a listed company at all, but more like a street gangster.

"Lin, old man, long time no see. Sorry, you touched my hair, FUXX! What are you doing? Don't you pull it! It hurts! FUXX！ Let go! You let go of Lao Tzu's hair! ROB, FUXX, ROB, WHY ARE YOU PULLING MY HAIR TOO? Let me go! Loosen! ”

Lin Tian let go of one of the thick braids on Austin's head, sat down opposite him and said, "I'm just curious, I thought it was a wig, but I didn't expect it to be real?" ”

"Of course it's true! That's how I bullied Berg and Gilbert! Those two guys don't have that much hair! They can't have such a coquettish hairstyle in their lives! They can only envy and hate forever, but they can't get the same hair as me! ”

Austin leaned back comfortably on the couch, smug at the sheer volume of her hair.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense." Pelinka also loosened one of the big braids, leaned back on the sofa and said, "It's all old friends, how about we get straight to the point?" ”

"It's quick to get to the point." Austin shrugged his shoulders and said, "According to my idea, we can do it in 10 minutes, and we can open the champagne in 15 minutes." ”

After speaking, Austin took out 3 contracts from his bag and said: "I won't go around in circles with you, and I won't bargain with you, the summer of five years ago, Rob, the bastard 0.1, 0.1 and us grinding points, will not appear again!" ”

Austin gave Pelinka a middle finger as he spoke, apparently remembering the scene when the two first negotiated a few years ago.

"As long as the terms you give are good enough, we will not bargain with you." Pelinka shrugged her shoulders, but didn't mean to take the contract: "You take the initiative to introduce me." ”

"Simple." Austin cleared his throat and said: "First of all, the concept of the three contracts is the same, they are all lifelong contracts, and we hope to continue to cooperate with Lin for a long time, including after he retires, we also hope to continue to cooperate with him!" ”

"And the core content of the three contracts is actually very similar, we will create a new sub-brand for Lin, which is similar to the relationship between Michael and Nike, no matter which one Lin chooses, we will no longer be an employment relationship, but a relationship of equal cooperation!"

"Even, Lin may earn more than the three of us!"

"I believe that the value of these three contracts is definitely more than $1 billion! can make Lin's worth directly reach more than 10 figures! ”

"Then, the first one, Lin gets 9% of the equity, if he chooses this one, Lin will become the fourth person with the most shares under me, Gilbert and Berg, he will have a pivotal position within AND1, he will have a huge voice, and even influence the company's decision-making and development direction!"

In the second share, Lin received 50% of the sales profit of his brand new sub-brand! The third share is similar to the second part, and Lin will be able to get 90% of the profit share of his new sub-brand in Asia! ”

"If Lin chooses the first share, he will officially become the fourth boss of AND1, and we will really be grasshoppers on a rope in the future, if Lin chooses the second and third shares, then Lin will probably earn more than us in the future!"

"That's probably it, as for the other parts and details, we can have a good chat, but I don't think it matters, it's just the details, how about it, can we open champagne?"

Pelinka was stunned for a moment, he was really a little confused.

Because he felt that he was useless.

The sincerity of AND1 is too much! Pelinka didn't know how to bargain.

The conditions are just too good!

How to put it, an analogy.

Everyone knows that Michael Jordan got a 4.5% stake in Nike and became the largest individual shareholder of Nike!

Today's Nike has long become a giant company in the sports world, and Jordan's 4.5% stake has long been worth hundreds of millions of dollars! And it's still rising! At Nike's current development rate, the value of these shares can exceed 2 billion US dollars or more sooner or later!

This contract is therefore called the largest shoe contract in the history of North American sports!

It is rumored that Jordan is considering changing the rules of cooperation between the two sides, changing the shares to be presented in a more direct and realizable way.

Many people speculate that if Jordan's new contract with Nike is reached, Jordan's annual income will be close to 100 million US dollars! With the rise of AJ brand sales and NBA market share, Jordan's annual revenue in the future will exceed 100 million US dollars, and it is very possible to reach 200 million or even more!

And what about the contract that AND1 gave Lin Tian?

9% equity, 50% worldwide or 90% profit share in Asia.

These numbers are absolutely astronomical!

You must know that Lin Tian's signature shoes are now inferior to the AJ series in terms of sales, but they can beat the signature shoes of all the rest of the NBA players! One person is above ten thousand, and the third person is thrown away by a great distance.

And if you only look at the sales in Asia, the sales of Lin Tian's sneakers can hang up the AJ series, and the Asian region is Lin Tian's base camp!

If you look at the financial statements of AND1 in 2000, their market value is about $10 billion today, and this number is still growing rapidly, 9% of the shares, almost $1 billion.

And if Lin Tian chooses the profit sharing of the latter two, then according to the annual sales of about 500 million US dollars of the AND1 Lin Tian series, then the money that Lin Tian can get every year can probably reach 30 million US dollars!

30 million dollars a year!

And that's still now!

Judging from Lin Tian's current popularity, the increasingly vigorous development of the NBA, and the increasing share of basketball in the sports world, it is a matter of time before this number exceeds 50 million or even 100 million!

That's a year's worth of income!

No wonder Austin is so confident that he will open champagne when he comes.

It's no wonder that Pelinka was stunned, so confused that she didn't know how to bargain.

The conditions are indeed too good!

"Can you still talk about the contract amount?" Pelinka swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and asked.

"Of course you can, because we know you're going to ask that bastard, so there's still a little room to lose, of course, a loss." Austin looked like he knew you were going to do that, his index finger and thumb raised, leaving only a tiny gap in the middle.

"Look! That's what capitalists are! Evil capitalists! Pelinka finally regained her form and laughed, "I'll just say I can't trust them completely!" They always have room to exploit us in any way they can! ”

“FUXX！ Rob, you damn bastard, why don't you go to hell? Who the hell is exploiting whom on both of us? Aren't the conditions we gave good enough? Didn't we give great sincerity? ”

"After signing this contract, you're fucking too, damn capitalists! It's you who exploit others! ”

Looking at Austin's painful expression and tone, Lin Tian was also completely relaxed and laughed.

With Lin Tian's laughter, the other two also laughed out loud, and the atmosphere of the whole room was extremely harmonious, because the three of them knew that the conclusion of this new lifetime contract would not be a problem at all.

The only suspense next is to see which contract Lin Tian chooses.

While the three of them were chatting happily, Pelinka's phone rang, he picked it up, and after a few words, hung up the phone and said, "Our other guest has already disembarked and will be there in 30 minutes." ”

"Who the hell is it?" Lin Tian was very curious about what kind of person Pelinka had found for himself to cooperate.

"A guy who is unknown right now, but I think he has a lot of potential and is a good match for your temperament." Pelinka shrugged: "I didn't mean to sell off, mainly to say his name, you don't know him, and my experience of knowing him is also very amazing." ”

"But I don't think you two bastards care about how I met him, so I'll just filter out this paragraph, so right now, does anyone want to open a bottle of champagne in advance?"

Pelinka stood up as she spoke, went to Lin Tian's wine cabinet and opened a bottle of champagne, and the three of them sat there and began to chat.

Almost 40 minutes later, the door of Lin Tian's house was opened again.

What Pelinka brought in was a white bald man who looked very stout and fierce among ordinary people, but looked like that in front of Lin Tian, with a height of 180 centimeters and above, and a body of tendons.

"Lin, I'm your fan!" As soon as this guy came in, he smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Lin Tian's hand and said, "I've watched every game you played in the Olympics, and I've also watched the games you fought in the NBA, many times!" I even went to great lengths to find footage of the qualifying matches you played in Thailand. ”

"To be honest, I found it in vain, because the game process was so fast, and I got everyone done with just a few punches!"

"I'm glad you didn't lie and said you're my fan." Lin Tian also smiled and said, "But I think you have to introduce yourself first." ”

There was a crisp 'snap', and the white bald man slapped his head and said embarrassedly, "I was so happy that I forgot." What a faux pas! I'm White Dyna, and I'm the CEO of the UFC Fighting League! ”

"I know that this fighting league is still unknown, not even recognized by the mainstream media and the market, and even many people think that we are a bloody gangster organization that fights illegally, but I am confident that our league will quickly get back on the ground and build it into a top event on a par with the WBC, WBA, IBF and other leagues!"

Listening to this guy's eloquent talk, Lin Tian finally remembered who this guy was.

In the future, the CEO of the famous UFC Fighting League almost single-handedly reversed the reputation and image of the UFC, which was regarded as an illegal, bloody, cruel and chaotic fighting league at the beginning of the 21st century, and it took only 20 years to transform it into a top fighting league with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars!

If the name White Dyna sounds a little unfamiliar, then his nickname in Huaxia should be a little more familiar.

This guy is indeed a business wizard, after all, when he bought the UFC in 2001, he only spent a total of 2 million US dollars, and 1.8 million of them were made up by fooling his good friends into joining the gang.

But in less than 20 years, the value of this sports league has increased by 10,000 times! His experience is absolutely legendary!

Of course, this is the practice, the standard empty glove white wolf + empty hand painting pie player!

For this kind of person, Lin Tian's way is very simple and direct.

Give him a dismount first, scare him, disrupt his rhythm, put him in a dilemma, make him overwhelmed and think that he is all done, and then give him a little benefit to make him grateful to Dade.

Well...... That is, it is commonly known as beating a stick and then giving a red date.

This trick may not be of much use against Dana Bai in the mature stage, but it is absolutely no problem to deal with this guy who only has dreams in the early stage of entrepreneurship for the time being!

"If I'm not mistaken, the CEO of the UFC didn't call you by that name, and I haven't heard of any recent idea of selling the league." Lin Tian directly exposed this guy's lies and said, "Mr. White, it shouldn't be a liar." ”

"It's not! I'm not a liar! Rob can testify! I'm really not a liar! Dana White's face tensed suddenly, full of nervousness after being exposed, and after shouting a few words in a row, the guy then sat down on the sofa like a deflated balloon and said, "Can you give me a glass of champagne?" ”

After saying that, this guy didn't wait for Lin Tian to make a move, but stretched out his hand and poured himself a glass and drank it all, after drinking, this guy's state was obviously better, he looked at Lin Tian and said: "Okay, I admit it, I'm not the CEO of UFC for the time being, but I believe that I will be soon!" ”

"Moreover, they are indeed planning to sell their alliance, and their asking price is not high, only $3 million!"

"And how much did you make up?" Lin Tian knew that he had already pinched him, and easily leaned back on the sofa and asked.

"Almost 2.5 million! Just haggle for them and give them a discount, and I'll be able to take it all in my own! ”

"I'm afraid not." Lin Tian continued to look at Dana Bai, waiting for him to confess.

"Actually, I only made up 1.5 million."

"In that case, let's ask Mr. White to leave, I don't think we're in a good position to work together." Lin Tian stood up and stretched out his hand to the door of the house.

"Don't, I've already made up 1 million! It's true. ”

Seeing that Lin Tian was still smiling, Bai Dana finally couldn't hold back, approached Lin Tian, and whispered beside him: "I actually only have 500,000." ”

"Come on." Lin Tian looked at this guy's appearance, and he didn't bother to tease him: "I think all your money has been used to buy a ticket to Indiana!" ”

Bai Dana listened to Lin Tian's words, his eyes widened completely, and he looked at him in disbelief, and after dozens of seconds, this guy finally sighed and said, "Then you haven't driven me away yet, you must be willing to help me." ”

"You're smart." Lin Tian nodded and said, "But what I'm curious about is a fighting alliance, why are you looking for me?" ”

"I need you to be the face of this alliance, and it's better to get on the pitch! Open up the popularity and reputation of this alliance! After all, you're the only guy who can be hugely popular in martial arts circles right now and don't belong to any of the fighting leagues. ”

"Not to mention that you also have super popularity from the basketball circle! As long as you say yes, I'm completely sure! ”

Now that he had spoken, Dana Bai no longer hid it, and began to describe his plan with his mouth open.

"As long as you are willing to join, I can use your name to find the gold master! I have a friend, they are a pair of brothers, they can afford this money, as long as they can see the hope of making money, they will be willing to invest money, willing to support me! ”

"Then, I'll take your name and the money of the two of them to go to everyone in the UFC, go to them to negotiate the acquisition, and use this to push the price lower, my psychological price is 2 million US dollars!"

"After winning the UFC, my first plan was to turn it around! There is nothing positive about this league at the moment that is worth keeping other than 'indiscriminate fighting', its rules are too general, the format is too scattered, and the management is too bad! ”

"I'm going to make it formal, and then it's going to grow steadily, little by little! My plan is to make the market value of this alliance exceed 200 million US dollars within 10 years! Let it reach 1 billion in 20 years! ”

Listening to Dana Bai's ambition, Lin Tian secretly sighed in his heart: This old brother is still too conservative and his imagination is not rich enough!

At the same time, I also sighed that this old brother is really bold enough.

I really don't have a dime, I just empty gloves white wolf, fooling people in all directions!

Next, seeing that no one stopped him from continuing, Dana Bai became more and more energetic, and simply told his entire plan.

From changing the league's slogan, to setting strict rules, to how to attract the best players to join, to creating a new sports culture, and so on......

After listening to him, Lin Tian smiled and said, "You said it in such detail, aren't you afraid that your plan will become my plan after tonight?" ”

Silence, embarrassing silence, Dana White's eyes widened, and he knew that he had said too much.

No way, he's also the first time, he's excited!

After a long time, Dana Bai said at a loss: "I, you. No, probably not. ”

"No, I haven't done that yet." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm very interested in your proposal, and for me, 3 million dollars is not much, and I'm also willing to help you." ”

"Really!" Bai Dana's eyes, which were already desperate, lit up, and he was about to say something to show his determination, but Lin Tian took the lead in reaching out and interrupting him.

"It's just that the specific way of cooperation is up to me!"

"First of all, you don't have to go and draw a pie for your two friends, you don't need to look for this money everywhere, I'll just come out, and I can not only buy the UFC alliance with full ownership, but also give you an additional 5% stake, so that you can be the CEO and fully manage the league."

"As for other treatments, annual salaries, dividends, etc., we can talk slowly, but what you said about making me the image spokesperson of the alliance, I think it's okay, I'm a crossover person after all, and it's easy for people to think that this alliance is a fun-loving alliance like WWE."

"But if you need me to play one or two exhibition games, it's not impossible, and I can do some of it in the offseason and help the league raise some profile."

"That's pretty much it, would you?"

"Yes! Of course I do! Dana White's eyes lit up! You know, he originally came here to spend money, but he didn't expect that the money was not spent now, and he found a big money owner for himself!

"When will we get the 3 million funds for the UFC? Once in place, I was able to get straight to work! ”

"That's not in a hurry." Lin Tian waved his hand and looked at Pelinka: "Rob? ”

"Understood, leave it to me." Pelinka shrugged his shoulders, he has long been accustomed to Lin Tian's way of assigning work in the past few years: "I will find a team to conduct in-depth investigation and analysis of the UFC, and then make an offer and negotiate, and finally I will be able to win them at a price much lower than 3 million!" ”

"Good." Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction, looked at Dana Bai and said, "You can now go back and think about the specific implementation plan, about the new alliance style, logo, publicity, rules, and other things!" ”

"By the way, I remember the current slogan of this alliance is 'We don't have rules here'? This is so barbaric that it's easy to think that this is an underground black boxing stadium, and your first task is to give this alliance a new and appropriate slogan after we complete the acquisition! ”

"I want it to be fierce and tough, but also acceptable that it's a serious, professional, advanced, and exciting martial arts league!"

"No problem! Leave it to me! Leave it all to me! I've been thinking about this for years, and I'm definitely not going to do it on a whim! Dana Bai patted his head with his hand as he spoke, indicating that he was really well thought out.

After a crisp sound, all four people at the scene laughed, and Austin, the only one who seemed to be an outsider, said: "Since everyone is so happy tonight, we in AND1 can also give some support, and wait until your slogan and style are decided." ”

"You can send me some samples and graphics, and I can give you a few co-branded T-shirts, and it's just publicity! But I don't give royalties or any profit dividends! ”

"Of course! Of course! Dana Bai said excitedly: "If the alliance has just been restarted and can cooperate with a world-class giant enterprise like you, it will definitely be beneficial to us!" I certainly wouldn't ask for any ridiculous royalties! ”

The rainbow fart of a world-class company makes Austin smile so much that the corners of his mouth can't close, and he likes to deal with this kind of sweet-mouthed guy! Happy thief!

In the midst of a burst of laughter, Pelinka went to get another bottle of champagne and opened it, smiling and looking at several people: "So, it's time to celebrate for the second time tonight." ”

The following weekend, the All-Star Weekend in Washington was in full swing, and Desmond Mason shined in the slam dunk contest and successfully won the championship, but compared to the century battle between Lin Tian and Carter the year before, this year's dunk contest was really mediocre.

In addition, sharpshooter Ray Allen finally realized his dream of Washington and won the championship of the 3-point competition! It's just that no one in this year's three-point contest has thrown a single-digit all-time low score, no one is crazy with left-handed shooting, and there is no excitement of the all-time shooters gathering for the pinnacle battle!

Again, compared to last year, it's mediocre!

After watching the two individual competitions, everyone suddenly discovered one thing.

That is, without Lin Tian, this all-star single event would be completely boring!

The taste is the same as chewing wax, dispensable!

The second grade shooter won the MVP of the rookie game, but the fans didn't buy it at all, they didn't like this kind of guy who played and shot at the All-Star Game.

After all the games ended without good reviews, the league finally ushered in their biggest All-Star news of the year.

This year's All-Star Game was a great one!

The players on both sides played real fire in the last few minutes, all playing with their lives, almost with the intensity of the finals!

And although the West has been pressing the East in the first three quarters, they even led by 21 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter!

But in the last few minutes of the game, under the leadership of Iverson, Marbury and others, the Eastern Force began their Jedi counterattack!

Within 9 minutes, they unleashed a terrifying offensive frenzy that reversed the deficit of more than 20 points in one fell swoop, and Iverson exploded by 15 points in that time, which was the biggest contributor to the team's victory!

In the last minute of the game, the two sides were completely crazy, Kobe Bryant extended the lead to 3 points with a mid-range, and then Marbury tied with a 3-pointer!

Then it was Bryant, whose signature pull-up jumper gave the West the lead again.

But Marbury didn't let it go at all, and a dragon hit another 3-point shot when he hit the frontcourt!

The Eastern Army has completed the overtake!

Then Kidd, the last attack of the Western team, did not give the ball to Kobe Bryant, who was in great shape, but gave David Robinson, who had a misplaced advantage on the inside, and let the 'Admiral' go to single Vince Carter!

was originally a goal that was nine out of ten, but who would have thought that Carter would be rejected by a bloody cap!

It's game over!

Relying on Marbury's 2 three-pointers, Carter's desperate blood cap and Iverson's 15-point surge in the final quarter, the East team successfully reversed the game and won the All-Star Game by 1 point!

And this All-Star Game is also considered by many to be one of the 5 most exciting All-Star games in NBA history! Real knives and guns, full of elements, go all out, and the strength of the finals!

Everything you want, it's all here!

Relying on this fire-filled All-Star Game, this All-Star Weekend has finally come to a very good end! The fans couldn't be happier with the game!

And at the same time as the All-Star Weekend came to an end, Lin Tian and AND1 also came with a news that was enough to shock the entire league!

Their new contract is reached!

A lifetime contract with no suspense!

The content of the contract is actually divided into two parts.

1: AND1 will create a new sub-brand for Lin Tian, and within this brand, Lin Tian will have the absolute right to speak.

2: Lin Tian will get 95% of the sales profit of this sub-brand in Asia!

Or to sum it up in the simplest sentence: according to the current sales of Lin Tian's sneakers, Lin Tian will be able to get more than 35 million US dollars in returns every year from next year! If the sneakers sell well, there will be no upper limit to this amount!

In other words, to put it more simply: Lin Tian's contract can press Jordan's contract to the ground! It's a one-of-a-kind contract! This is the first super sneaker contract in NBA history! (End of chapter)
