Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 83

However, this Final Four match did bring great commercial value to the NCAA.

When it comes to the commercial value of the NCAA Final Four, a key figure is $10 billion.

Lu Yu remembered that Buffett, the "stock god", publicly announced that if someone successfully predicted the outcome of all NCAA tournament games, his company would reward him with $40 billion over 10 years.

This "$10 billion" is obviously hard to get, and Buffett just used it to make enough eyeballs, but the other "$10 billion" is the real benefit of the NCAA tournament.

According to a statistic of the American media, the NCAA's annual financial revenue is as high as 10 billion US dollars, of which more than 1.43% of the revenue comes directly from TV broadcast revenue.As the core of the NCAA Final Four, the brand value is as high as [-] million US dollars.

Ranked fifth in Forbes' list of the world's [-] most valuable sporting events, and the NBA Finals couldn't even make it to the top [-].

This is also the reason why the NBA usually suspends games for one day on the day of the NCAA championship finals.

How much revenue will the cities that host the Final Four generate?
Take this year's Final Four in New Orleans, which is expected to generate $1 million or more for the city.

TV broadcasters are also making a lot of money at the event.

According to last year's statistics, the 30-second advertisement during the game sold a high price of 100 million US dollars, and TV broadcasters sold 7 million US dollars in advertising revenue through NCAA games throughout the year.

The event is also one of the hottest topics on social media, with more than 3.5 million people participating in discussions this year.

It also includes the President of the United States.

In China on the other side of the ocean, because a player of Chinese nationality participated in this game and was the core player of one of the teams, CCTV temporarily decided to discuss the broadcast rights with the NCAA league.

And let the NCAA league earn a fortune.

But Lu Yu, as a player, only has the pitiful bonus from the school.

"Listen to Snoopy, you owe a lot of money for the purchase of "Sport" magazine?"

Scarlett Johansson pursed her lips and said the ultimate purpose of this time.

"I don't owe much, but it's not enough for a while."

Lu Yu said with a smile.

Scarlett's eyes showed a charming smile, and she took out a check from her bag: "You see how much is missing, I'll fill it in for you, just think I'll lend you first, or you can take me as a stake."

"You help me like this, if I don't have the money to pay, I'm afraid I can make a promise." Lu Yu picked up the check and played with it.

Anne Hathaway walked into the dormitory with a bucket of sneakers, Snoopy took it quickly, he glanced at Lu Yu and Scarlett Johansson, and then at Anne Hathaway, Anne didn't seem to hear, He lowered his head and picked up another bowl of jerseys and sneakers on the ground, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and continued to the laundry room.

Snoopy suddenly felt a little distressed, Lu Yu was too rude.

In the company, Jessica worked tirelessly to help him, and in the dormitory, Annie cleaned up without complaint. How could she not meet such a good girl herself.

"Scumbag!"

……

"But thank you for your kindness. I have no plans to raise funds."

Lu Yu politely rejected Scarlett Johansson.

He wouldn't regard Scarlett Johansson as a dissatisfied hoof, and to be successful in the entertainment industry, Scarlett Johansson definitely has her unique business vision.

The reason why she came to Lu Yu was because of the "Sport" magazine in Lu Yu's hands.

Scarlett saw the bright future of this magazine. Not to mention the skyrocketing sales during this period, and also seized most of the "Sports Illustrated" market from Salt Lake City, all of which proved the potential of this magazine.

Unfortunately, Lu Yu was not one of her licking dogs and rejected her.

She wasn't annoyed either.

There is no way to be a business partner, but you can also try to be a bed partner.

The two chatted in the house, and after a while, Scarlett Johansson received a call from the crew and said goodbye to Lu Yu and went back first. As for the Anne Hathaway she brought, she stayed there. This is good work for Lu Yu.

Anyway, Anne Hathaway's role in the crew is also pitiful.

Lu Yu was sitting in the dormitory, Snoopy continued to fiddle with the magazine's sales report, and reported the recent sales to Lu Yu. Lu Yu said something to him.

At this time, he was thinking about the progress of the systematic breathing method in his mind, and occasionally he could see the busy figure of Anne Hathaway outside the corridor.

"Water Breathing 61%, Thunder Breathing 37%, Flame Breathing 34%..."

Just like last time, there was no movement in the water breathing method.

Both Lei's Breathing Technique and Yan's Breathing Technique have increased by 3%, and Lu Yu hasn't had time to measure the specific increase in physical fitness.

According to this progress, after playing the NCAA, Leihu and Yanhu can increase to about 40%.

Lu Yu felt that it was too slow, and he desperately wanted to increase one of them to 50%, which might have the same bonus as Water Breathing.

For Lu Yu, who plans to enter the NBA this year, the improvement of physical fitness is imminent.

Although the NBA in 2001 was not as fierce as the confrontation in the 90s, it was not a heavyweight game at all compared to the basketball game 20 years later.

Lu Yu's current physical fitness, if he is in the NBA 20 years later, he will definitely be able to mix like a fish in water.

After all, at that time, the biggest injury of many players came from impatience, which is precisely Lu Yu's strength, but in this day and age, it is not a problem of impatience at all.

Charles Oakley hasn't retired yet.

Larry Johnson also wanted to learn from himself some time ago.

Postman Malone's iron elbows can knock people out of concussions.

If you want to say that the NBA in this era is playing ball, Lu Yu doesn't believe it at all.

So Lu Yu wants to take these three breathing methods to the next level before entering the NBA. More importantly, the Ghost Slayer Blade in his memory is more than these three breathing methods. If the water breathing method is in 61 % is stagnant, then if the other two also reach more than 60% and cannot improve, will there be a fourth breathing method?

After a while, Anne Hathaway walked into the dormitory with a basin, went to the balcony to arrange every pair of shoes, and hung the jersey on the hanger.

Lu Yu pulled his thoughts back, looked at her and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight?"

Anne Hathaway shook her head: "I, I'll go back."

Lu Yu didn't stop her. Annie was a bit introverted, and it was normal to be shy.

He sat down and continued to think about what he had just thought about.

After a while, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Lu Yu looked up and saw Anne Hathaway gasping for breath, her chest heaving up and down, and dense beads of sweat oozing from her forehead as she ran all the way, and it was crystal clear under the light.

"I just heard you chatting with Scarlett that you owe a lot of money."

Lu Yu didn't know what she meant and listened calmly.

Anne Hathaway took out a bank card from her pocket: "This is my salary for this play, I have some living expenses, and the rest is here."

She is just a small actor, and she finally received this drama, and this money is almost all her belongings to her.

Anne Hathaway's clear eyes avoided Lu Yu's gaze, and carefully placed the bank card on the table next to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu: "???"

Do you want me to make promises too?
