Chapter 225 Ownership Battle
The All-Star door was slowly opening to Chen Feng. When everyone was not aware of it, the bald wild boy had already smashed his own world in the NBA.
It may not be big, but it is enough for more people to know that there is such a wild boy in the NBA.
Although I don't know if this kid can surpass Bosh in the last week and become the starting power forward, it is almost a foregone conclusion that he enters the main game.
Unless O'Neal can play a Jedi counterattack in the last week of the voting time, but looking at the guy's little aggrieved look, it is estimated that this overtake is no longer possible.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been nagging like a media reporter. This guy's behavior is definitely not like an All-Star, but rather like a loser who is trampled on.
The votes on Chen Feng were still accumulating rapidly, and even Bosh was frightened and afraid of being surpassed by this guy. As for O'Neal, he could only hold his more than 800,000 votes and find a corner to draw circles.
It is estimated that O'Neal Jr. has seen the mighty momentum that Yao Ming was the king of votes again.
Although Chen Feng is still incomparable to the vote king, if this kid is far away from the chasing players compared to the rookies of the same period, he would have long since left the chasers far away.
Now only Roy has received more than 300,000 votes in the West, which is already the limit among rookies. However, in front of him, there are also godlike existences like Kobe and McGrady, so you can't count on surpassing them.
I guess I don't expect to pull these two guys off the starting lineup in the next two or three seasons. If Roy wants to break through the siege in the West, in addition to his outstanding performance, he also has to pray that the animals in front will be injured.
He is not as fierce as Chen Feng. In addition, the number of fans in Portland is definitely not as large as that of Chinese fans. In fact, the Chinese group in the United States alone is already large enough, not to mention domestic ones.
Bosh was not blocked by Chen Feng in the inside and beaten up, so even if he could firmly play in the starting lineup, he might not be able to get more playing time than that kid in the end.
The coach of the Eastern Conference has not yet been decided. Some people say that Rivers has the opportunity to take office. Although it may not be certain, neither Rivers nor Eddie Jordan, who may be temporarily replaced, will probably not ignore Chen Feng.
What the NBA All-Star Game needs is performance. If you say that anyone can beat Chen Feng more fiercely and explosively, you may not be able to find such a number even if you turn it over and fall over.
Anyway, no matter how envious, jealous and hated others, Chen Feng's popularity has expanded rapidly. In fact, it is not only the vote from China that has benefited this kid a lot, but he also has his own supporters in Boston.
If you can vote again, most of the 100,000 votes were voted for Chen Feng by local fans in Boston. Even Pierce only earned less than 400,000 votes.
"That boy, his popularity is surprisingly good." Pierce also smacked his lips when he looked at Chen Feng's amazing vote count that day, impressed by the boy's attraction.
Although Pierce has always been the darling of Boston, he may be a qualified captain, but he is definitely not a radical who can often incite the atmosphere on the court to burst immediately.
So now Chen Feng is simply the ultimate catalyst for the North Shore Garden Arena. As long as this kid is on the court, he will not worry about the atmosphere in the stadium not reaching the peak. No matter who his opponent is, Chen Feng can detonate the stadium!
There is no way, I really can't accept it. The wild boy has this fierce and fierce temperament, which can make everyone's eyes focus on him and don't want to move away.
Moreover, Chen Feng's tough style is the favorite of fans. He will not be timid when this kid meets any opponent. Even if he touches his head, he can still grit his teeth and fight to the end.
This tough temperament can easily infect others, so when Chen Feng starts to explode, it is often when Boston starts to counterattack. Since it is all like this, how can fans not like this kid?
The fans think this way, and the coach also thinks this way. If Rivers is asked to change his hand, the fat guy will immediately get angry with you and maybe even curse.
"Switch? Who's the one you give me now, I won't change it!" This is what Rivers thinks now. It's not that easy to find such a fierce wild boy. Change it? Change it? Change it to your uncle!
Rivers finally found such a wild boy who was about to fight under Auerbach's guidance. How could he be willing to exchange it with others?
In fact, not only the team's coaches and management now value Chen Feng's value and potential, but more people are also paying attention to the wild boy who came out of the stalker. In their eyes, this guy is a big killer!
Anyone who has played face to face with Chen Feng may feel this way. That kid is an unreasonable way of playing, but you can't find any fault and can only be beaten passively.
You can say that this guy is a violent maniac, but most of you know how you will deal with such a violent murderer? And judging by his attitude, it may have harmed you for more than ten years.
Who is the most melancholy now? It must be those inside players who have to stay in the NBA for many years. No one wants to meet such a lunatic when they are fine. This will make people live!
Think about how many big men of the four centers were raging in the league when they were raging, how many of their contemporaries were ravaged by them? It was not until they all retired that the tragic situation was alleviated.
Now, the four centers are gone, but such an unreasonable guy appears again. Those old guys who are about to retire are happy, but there is only one power forward left, I don’t know how many years will be tortured.
The wild boy had just emerged for less than half a season, but the league was already upside down. Just thinking about playing in the same game with such a person who had nothing to do with O'Neal in the future, many people's scalp was a little numb, and this guy had already had a fight with Nowitzki and Garnett.
Just like the fierce men in the 1990s who didn't want to meet the leader of the Qiao Gang, the big insiders nowadays don't want to provoke animals like Chen Feng when they're fine. That's really an existence that they can't stand.
For such players, most coaches want to take their own account. With such a strong man, it may be much easier to play the game, but Rivers obviously has no intention of letting go.
In fact, there are not only one or two people who privately handed Anji to ask for a deal, and some even made heavy trading chips to get Chen Feng into their own hands.
Among them, there are many quasi-super stars with annual salary of tens of millions, and their strength cannot be underestimated, but Anji's attitude is also firm enough. He immediately refused everything about Rondo and Chen Feng's deal.
He almost did not leave any surviving refusal. Even if the old relationship came to him, Anji could not give face.
This is not because those trading chips are not attractive, but in the eyes of team managers like Anji, Chen Feng's value is far more than what he shows now. That kid is a gold mine.
If you give this gold mine to others for the sake of the immediate benefits, not only will the fans immediately take out their guns to kill themselves, but the strong rebound from the team will probably make Anji frustrated.
Rivers would definitely not agree to such a deal. Similarly, the Cardinal who came out for a walk around when he had nothing to do would definitely warn Angie not to act rashly in his own way.
Instead of becoming a public enemy of Boston, it would be better to keep that kid and continue to increase value. Moreover, the recent attention from the other side of the ocean also made Anji feel Chen Feng's commercial potential.
First, when Chinese journalists went to Chinese merchants, a group of people came to Angie. This advantage that only Houston has always enjoyed is now Boston's turn to try it.
There are quite a few Chinese in Boston, at least more than the Asian population in Houston, but they were more willing to support Boston Red Sox baseball and Boston Brown Bears ice hockey before.
But now this situation has obviously changed. From the day Chen Feng came to Boston, the number of Asian fans watching football in the North Shore Garden Arena began to increase day by day.
Although Anji has not counted exactly how many of this number is, now looking at the often packed North Shore Garden Arena, you can tell that their ticket revenue is setting a record.
Even when Bird's three giants were there, Boston's ticket sales were not so popular. It is estimated that only by reaching the finals can the tickets be swept away.
But now Anji no longer has to consider this issue. If this momentum continues, Celtic tickets may soon become popular.
Just by comparing the recent ticket sales, we can draw a conclusion that when Chen Feng was there, he could sell more than 90% of the tickets as a weak team like the Timberwolves.
As a result, as soon as the kid was suspended, his home ticket sales immediately dropped to 70%. With such obvious box office appeal, unless Anji is a blind man, he will not be able to turn a blind eye.
Moreover, the kid's jersey sales speed is also amazing. He has even jumped to second place in the team, and is only a little behind Pierce. His No. 99 jersey has been sold out at least twice this season.
Damn, you have to know that the schedule is not over halfway! With this sales force, Pierce may not have been so fierce when he first entered the league, but that kid caused such a sensation.
Anji is responsible for the team's profits. With such a guy who can add value in his hands, even if he was so unhappy at the beginning, this kid has long forgotten it.
Because of the existence of this little giant, Houston's market value has at least doubled in three or four years. Now Anji has every reason to believe that with Chen Feng here, Boston's value will also skyrocket.
After all, if you count in the United States, the NBA is not the bottom of the four major events, but is always behind baseball and football. Most of its revenue comes from TV broadcasts and box office revenue.
Although the Celtics have invested a lot after changing their bosses, as the team manager, all he needs to do is to handle the business, and at least let the team enter a healthy operation.
It goes without saying that Houston’s value-added lies. The popularity of the little giants in China has found many business opportunities for them, especially in broadcasting, and Boston now has such opportunities.
Anji doesn't expect to eat a fat man in one bite, but if you have nothing to do, Boston will start to get a share of the pie on TV because of Chen Feng.
Boston's football market has always been in a state of being half hot. Suddenly, with such a money tree in your palm, are you still expecting Angie to hand him over to someone else?
However, not only Boston is now inseparable from such a fierce guy as Chen Feng, but also someone has also set his sights on this kid. Chen Feng is now like a piece of iron-sucking stone and will never lack attention.
The penalty decision was less than two days ago, and the All-Star votes were in full swing. As a result, another news in the newspaper also attracted a lot of attention.
There is no exception, because this news is also aimed at Chen Feng, but as the person involved, Chen Feng himself has not understood what happened until Falk and Xie Miaomiao find him.
"What? Old K sent me an invitation? Let me join the American team?" Chen Feng held the newspaper that Xie Miaomiao stuffed to him in one hand and the invitation handed over by Falk in the other hand. It was really a big deal.
"What the hell is that old guy doing? Is it just because I found Jerry back the scene last time, he was so mean? Or is he helping Brand find a way?"
Chen Feng could only think of this level when he started thinking about it. Otherwise, he wouldn't understand what that guy Lao K was doing and joining the national team? Not to mention, he really didn't consider this issue.
"Bland is injured, and the Dream Team now has few real insiders. If Howard counts one, Bosh can be considered an insider besides him. However, he rarely starts attacking at the basket. So, no matter how you look at it, the Dream Team needs a very strong insider to be in the basket."
Falk's point of view on the problem has always been to the point. He knows why Lao K is so anxious to recruit Chen Feng into the national team.
The Dream Team replaced Lao K as the head coach because of a series of losses. If he encountered the World Championships again, Lao K could not afford to lose, unless he wanted to be a scapegoat from the American Basketball Association.
That old guy is very smart, so he won't let that happen to him, so he started recruiting soldiers at the beginning of his term. Kobe, James, Wade, and all of these powerful people were recruited under his command.
Brand, Howard, Bosh, Chandler and others are also assisting in the interior, but except for Brand having a certain back-on offensive ability at the basket, Howard and Chandler are not considered offensive players.
Bosh scored a lot of points, but this guy rarely went to the basket, let alone me fight. If he met those big European insiders, don't expect Bosh to get any rebounds.
Moreover, a heavy gunner from the outside was floating, so he would not leave too many opportunities for Bosh to get out of his phone. What Lao K needed most was the kind of powerful players who could take root at the basket, score points, and defend.
Originally, the personal disciple Brand was a good choice, but before the international competition was played, Brand was injured there, and this injury was a period of several months of cultivation.
Lao K is just a temporary cram, but this does not mean that he is sick and seeking medical treatment. Chen Feng had already included it in his observation range before that game.
During that Celtics and Clippers game, Lao K followed the whole game. The bald boy who was more fierce than Brand's playing basketball had already left a deep impression on him.
This time, he slightly explored through the media and Falk, which is the first step in his action. If Chen Feng can really be recruited under his command, Lao K would not mind that this was his apprentice taught by his old opponent Takanian.
Lao K doesn't mind, but Xie Miaomiao doesn't do it anymore. She was so hard at shaking the flag and shouting for Chen Feng in the media, but she just hopes that this guy can return to China to play.
As a result, when Lao K summoned him, he looked at Falke's attitude and seemed to have really planned to fool Chen Feng into the Dream Team. If this is the case, wouldn't the previous work be in vain?
Although Xie Miaomiao wouldn't say anything just because of this, she always feels uncomfortable. A native Chinese who plays on behalf of the Dream Team will play. No matter how you say it, it's a knot in your heart.
Moreover, the beautiful Xie Damei also got some insider information from the editor-in-chief. The Basketball Association is interested in contacting Chen Feng to return to China to play, but the officials are still waiting and watching, for fear that they will backfire if they accidentally do so.
Falke is based entirely on commercial interests. If he can join the Dream Team, it means playing in the All-Star Game, expanding his popularity and giving greater room for commercial value to exert effect.
If it really can be achieved, it's not bad. Anyway, Falke values economic benefits, but it's just that the Dream Team is a little more famous.
It’s easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree. Anyway, Falke just thought about the problem with this idea. He had no likes and dislikes about the existence of the Dream Team. The United States won a medal and had nothing to do with him.
This old guy only considers the interests of the customers, and whether his own operation methods are clever enough. He never cared about other things, and he never considered the consequences at all.
"If you consider it based on commercial interests, accepting this invitation is not a bad thing." After weighing the pros and cons, Falke slowly expressed his opinion.
"If I simply consider these issues, I think there are so many stars in the Dream Team, which may not necessarily make people focus on Chen Feng, but in the Chinese team, his attention will definitely not be low."
Chen Feng hadn't said anything, but Xie Miaomiao next to him took Falk's words first. This was the first time she put these things in front of the old fried dough stick.
Falk didn't say anything, but the old guy was obviously thinking about how much of what Xie Miaomiao said came from the promises from the senior executives of the Chinese Basketball Association.
Chen Feng could only look helplessly at the two people in front of him discussing his future, but he couldn't get into anything, because at this moment he was also confused.
Chen Feng himself did not expect that a conflict that was less than half a minute would cause so much trouble.
Now, even the ownership of his own participation in the national team must be decided after the competition. Is this really a strange encounter...
(Well, there is a classmate in the book friend group who seems to be celebrating his birthday, but I remember the day wrongly. I don’t know if it’s been over today or it’s over... It’s a bit of a tragedy. The main reason is that I’ve been too busy recently and forgot about this matter. Uh, okay, I must make up for one blessing. I wish Xiaonan a happy day and then a marriage for him. This guy has a good personality, gentle and lovely person. Well, really, if I’m a man, I want to marry him. Let me make a statement first. He is considered to be one of the people who are very careful and still receive most of the time. I hope he can find a good family as soon as possible and get married. Okay, no, I hope Xiaonan can find a good girl, sincerely...)
