After James said a long paragraph at the press conference, he said nothing more and did not answer reporters' questions.
Just waved to the dozens of cameras at the scene.
It is also a wave to hundreds of millions of fans around the world.
"goodbye."
A group of reporters saw James waving goodbye to his 22-year career;
All the reporters felt relieved to say goodbye to the arena where he had competed for 22 years, and all the spectators who saw this scene were also silent.
At this time, James said: "I mean we will meet again soon."
After speaking, he turned around and left the venue without giving everyone time to react.
Wang Yi knew why James didn't give reporters time to ask questions, and he also said that he would answer all questions about him on Twitter.
In fact, these were all planned by James and his team before.
According to a report released by social media marketing company Opendorse, the market value generated by the personal tweets of all athletes around the world was evaluated and ranked.
Among all athletes in the world, football superstars Cristiano Ronaldo, Iniesta and Neymar rank in the top three respectively.
Their average value per tweet is $868,604, $590,852, and $478,138 respectively.
James ranks fourth, with each tweet he sends worth $470,356.
To realize this value, he needs traffic.
He used to be an athlete, and if he wanted to monetize in this way, it might have an impact on his personal image. Now that James will turn into a businessman after retiring, it is understandable that he monetizes through Twitter.
As a digression here, James once asked the audience in the auditorium next to him for a red gummy candy red vines to eat during a break in the game. This scene happened to be captured by the on-site cameras.
As a result, in just a few hours, the search volume for this gummy candy skyrocketed, and sales increased more than ten times.
According to estimates, this unintentional move by James allowed the company to earn US$2.6 million in just one day.
This shows how strong James' personal influence and his ability to attract money are.
Wang Yi couldn't help but admire James' shrewdness.
A press conference can be carefully designed by him as a channel to attract traffic.
This guy probably has the word "making money" running in his blood.
At the same time, Wang Yi secretly thought that his current fans are not much different from James. It is estimated that the value of a tweet is about 300,000 US dollars.
If you use your tweets to make money, isn’t it easy to make money?
But this is all for later.
…
Let's say that after James retired, he did not leave Sacramento immediately. After all, he still has real estate here.
He also has no plans to sell this $12.27 million mansion.
After all, Wang Yi is in Sacramento.
First of all, he has a very good relationship with Wang Yi. Even after retiring, the two can still see each other often, drink red wine and play ball.
Secondly, James also knows how much commercial value Wang Yi has.
Wang Yi's fan base around the world has now surpassed that of Curry, Durant, and others, and is just shy of surpassing James.
If two people can be bound together, then what they generate is not 11=2, but a business value of 11 greater than 2.
Just imagine, if only Wang Yi or James attended an event, it would only be able to attract their single fans.
On the contrary, if Wang Yi and James attend an event at the same time, not only fans of the two companies will go, but also due to the huge topicality of these two people together, many people who are not fans will also go to see it.
This is LeBron James, this guy can be said to be extremely shrewd.
Except for the accident that he couldn't control, almost every decision and every step he took was planned in advance.
The day after James retired, he took over all the shares in the Lakers from his friends.
He quickly became the second owner of the Lakers.
This news was naturally explosive and immediately detonated the entire American sports circle.
No one expected that James would become the second owner of the Lakers after retiring.
The thick eyebrows, Westbrook and others were also quite shocked.
Ten days ago we were rivals on the court, but 10 days later you directly became my boss. This is a bit too much.
And the one who is most unhappy among them is the rookie Arthur.
Due to a broken wrist during the game against the Kings, he had to rest for 1 to 2 months, which made him hate the entire Kings and players.
Unexpectedly, James became his boss directly after retiring. This is so fucking stupid.
If he knew that Wang Yi was actually his third boss at this time, he would feel like he was being screwed.
At the same time, the fact that James became the owner of the Lakers also made many people know that James must have become the de facto owner of the Lakers when he was a player.
This also made many players question it.
Soon, someone dug up the news that Nicole was the third owner of the Lakers.
Arthur immediately jumped out and accused Wang Yi and Nicole of being the same family, and now Nicole is the third owner of the Lakers, which is equivalent to Wang Yi being the third owner of the Lakers.
He even suggested that the alliance should let Nicole transfer her shares.
However, the league issued a statement saying that before Wang Yi and Nicole got married, Nicole had purchased shares of the Lakers. According to the rules, this was completely reasonable.
Fans of Wang Yi retorted:
"Are you afraid that Brother Yi will play match-fixing because of this? It's funny, if Brother Yi wants to play match-fixing, why do you beat you every time until you don't even recognize your own mother?"
As soon as this rebuttal came out, it immediately attracted many Wang Yi fans to quote it.
Naturally, Arthur also saw this sentence, and because of this sentence, he was almost hurt internally.
I wanted to refute but couldn't.
This feeling is the most uncomfortable.
…
James' retirement has come to an end.
The following days were spent in constant training, competitions, and filming.
During this period, although LeBron James was missing, Wang Yi quickly broke out.
Since the other players of the Kings are really average, Dani can score about 15 points per game. Although Xiao Qiao can be the central axis of the offense, his own scoring ability is also average, so basically most of the scoring burden for the Kings falls on him.
On Wang Yi’s head.
So next Wang Yi turned on the furious mode.
In the first game after being suspended, he scored 52 points, in the second game he scored 66 points, and in the third game he scored 50 points.
And his scoring average has also risen rapidly from 40 points per game.
41…42…43…
Originally, there were several players with explosive scoring ability this year, and they wanted to try to see if they could catch up with Wang Yi's scoring average.
But in this life, they have completely given up.
Chapter completed!
