Chapter 70 Play Big Joe Boss (3.1k month)(1/2)
The third day in New Orleans is also the second day of the All-Star Weekend.
Early in the morning, Xiao Du slapped the door of Li Ke's room, then spread a bunch of magazines and newspapers on Li Ke's bed.
Li Ke suddenly felt like he was back to the feeling he had been a year ago.
"Sports Illustrated": After the MOP of the NCAA Final Four, the Sheter group won the NBA Rookie MVP trophy together!
"Why don't they use the 47 combination?"
"Maybe it's because you've gotten an extra Kobe."
“FK!”
"Basketball Times": Daniel Gibson set a record against three points, but the victory belongs to the first grade!
"His senior Gibson set a record?"
"11 three-pointers in a single game broke Kylkowol's rookie game three-point shooting record."
"You are so familiar with me..."
"ESPN": The locker room angrily criticized reporters, Sheldon is really a tyrant?
"You were in the locker room yesterday?"
Li Ke nodded.
"What are you trying to fight?"
"Let him shut his stinky mouth."
"No wonder, look at what ESPN wrote, journalists deserve the right to speak out, and this is their freedom."
"Then I have the freedom to scold them, too."
"How about posting Facebook or Twitter, chase and fight."
Li Ke shook his head: "No need."
It's really unnecessary. He is not Xiao Du. If he chases him, he will not be a tyrant, but more like a shrew.
"By the way, I forgot, today you are going to be teammates with Michael Jordan. Today's preview, the popularity of the dunk contest has been suppressed. When will the Shooting Star Competition be this card? It's worthy of being a GOAT!"
The appetizers for the rookie tournament are over, and it’s time to serve them one by one.
Of course, the shooting star competition where Li Ke is about to form a team with Boss Qiao is not a real person, and the attention has not been high in previous years.
This year is an exception. Michael Jordan, recognized as the God of Basketball, is about to "come back" to participate in this shooting star competition that has never been popular!
Speaking of which, since the All-Star Competition was launched in 2004, the rules have always been that one active player plus a retired celebrity plus a WNBA women's basketball player, and three teams are formed.
During this period, there were also retired celebrities like Magicians participating in the competition, but at this point, the shooting star still had little popularity.
This time, Boss Qiao made a move, he immediately knew that GOAT is GOAT!
If we talk about the opponents of Charlotte, the shooting star, this time, are not good at it.
There was once a San Antonio team in history, sending a trio of Tim Duncan, David Robinson and Becky Harmon.
Defending champion Detroit sent last year's original team, Chauncey Billups, Billland Bill and Svencash.
Finally, there is the Phoenix team. The original active star was Sir, the legend was Eddie Johnson, and the women's basketball team was Cappy Pondexter.
When he learned that Joe God was involved in the battle, Si was replaced by Steve Nash, the celebrity was replaced by Steve Cole, and the women's basketball team was replaced by Mercury's leader, Diana Dorothy, who won the championship in 2005...
When Boss Qiao learned about this, he scolded Steve Cole for the second time.
Ju Jiang, this year's shooting star competition has been hyped up, Li Ke vs Duncan vs Billups vs Nash, Jordan vs old teammate Steve Cole vs Admiral vs Ranbill, and the women's basketball team also has WNBA superstars.
Svencash is the leader of the Detroit Shocks and is known as the female James.
Becky Harmon won’t say much. The leader of the San Antonio Silver Stars team later served as an assistant coach for the old thief. After Bobo retired, she had a great chance to become the first female coach in NBA history.
Diana Dorothy is also the leader of the Phoenix Mercury team. They won the WNBA championship last year, but the MVP was taken away by Cappel Pondexter.
Finally, it was Lauren Jackson. Boss Qiao said that she was WNBA's Lebang, and she was talking about her status. The WNBA's regular season MVP in 2003, and the youngest records were included. Isn't it the WNBA's Lebang?
All-Star vs All-Stars, top celebrities vs top celebrities, and Michael Jordan, this shooting star competition is more popular than this year's dunk contest, which is not surprising.
...
After talking to Xiao Du for a few words, Li Ke was picked up by David Falke.
In the morning, he participated in the Air Jordan promotion event, and here he met Kidd and Paoge.
AJ's players, except for Li Ke, are the big names Kidd and Pao Ge. Kidd's current sneaker contract is about to expire, and next, he will sign a retirement sneaker contract with Peak.
Brother Pao signed a new contract in 2006, and it was still early for the expiration of the contract.
In Li Ke's memory, it seems that Wade and Guagua also signed Jordan...
"Do you know, Jeff regrets it, regrets not having a single hand and taking you off."
Li Ke and Kid had a generation gap, so they didn't have much communication. Instead, they talked to Pao Ge, and the topic was nothing more than the trial trials of the talent show.
Jeff is Jeff Ball, the general manager of the Hornets. He does have reason to regret that this Hornets are already the top three strong teams in the West, but almost everyone believes that they are still far away from the Golden Cup.
This Hornets do not lack shooters, but they lack tough wings and pitchers with key balls. At first glance, it is Li Ke.
"Then do you regret it? Chris?"
"Me? What do I regret."
Brother Pao shrugged, he only knew that the Hornets are now among the top three in the West.
"I think you should regret it."
"Me? What do I regret? Do you regret not being attracted to by Boss Qiao? That's not something I can decide."
"Too."
This promotion activity reminded Li Ke that the bonus in his sneaker contract should be paid.
"David, don't forget to ask AJ, the prize money for the sneaker contract is coming, the 200,000 yuan Rookie MVP and 2 million yuan selected for the All-Star."
"good!"
After 2.2 million yuan was obtained, the total amount of his sneaker contract this year will increase to at least 7.2 million US dollars.
In addition, the 1 million playoff bonus and the Best Rookie Team bonus are also in hand.
Together, it will be $8.4 million, which is basically confirmed.
There are still 1 million for the Best Rookie and 500,000 for the Best Defensive Team.
If you get it all... this first year, you will be close to AJ's superficial annual quotation, and you'll make a profit!
Of course, Boss Qiao is not losing money.
...
At noon, Li Ke attended the charity lunch meeting held by Dayao.
Here, he met Guagua again...
It’s really where we meet in life!
Guagua was also helpless. Who said his agent was Bill Duffy?
This Yao Fund's charity lunch meeting is also closely related to Bill Duffy, so he naturally wants to support him.
However, this time, Li Ke did not communicate with Guagua, and he could not think of any new tricks. Moreover, Guagua was too excited, so if he really got angry, he would still not be able to withstand it.
In addition to Guagua, Li Ke also met Nash, Rondo and Ah Lian here.
Speaking of which, in the original timeline of his previous life, Ah Lian did not attend the charity afternoon meeting of Yaoyao, which indirectly proves that there were not much contacts between Ah Lian and Yaoyao outside the court.
In this time and space, Alien came, which proves that Li Ke's big butterfly has had a huge impact on Alien.
"I'm going to replace Danfeigan."
Sure enough, the biggest change for UAE has come.
"But not now, I'm going to wait till the end of the season."
"Have you thought about whom you want?"
Ah Lian shook his head. For the time being, he tended to be Bill Duffy.
Li Ke searched in his mind for a while, but he didn't expect that such an existence that was very suitable for Alien. He thought for a while: "I'll give you David Falke's phone number as your alternative."
Then, by the way, he told Ah Lian about David Falke's advantages: "David Falke's connections will be wider, and I have worked with him for most of the season and didn't make any trouble. I think you can use him. Of course, Bill Duffy can do it. In short, let them find you a next home, the kind that can play with peace of mind."
"I see."
...
The New Orleans Arena was lively again in the evening, and all the events on the second day of the All-Stars will be staged.
In the locker room, Li Ke has already put on his No. 88 jersey, and his teammate, Michael Jordan, is wearing a No. 23 jersey with Bobcats.
Well, Lauren Jackson is not here, after all, there is still a difference between men and women.
Li Ke looked at Boss Qiao and always felt strange: "Well, Michael, don't you think the Bobcats' jersey is ugly?"
To be continued...
