God of NBA point guards

Chapter 488 NBA’s new television broadcast contract
Next, Zhou Quan entered boxing training in Los Angeles.

He has already received system rewards from the three consecutive championship dynasties, and his body's aging has been slowed down by 30%. There is currently no visible effect.

For athletes, this reward is of course quite good, because athletes put a lot of effort on their bodies, and they tend to age easily after the age of 40 or [-]. This reward prevents their bodies from aging so quickly.

If you are lucky enough to complete the unification battle, your heart function will be strengthened by 100%, your body and mind will be strengthened at the same time, and the sleeping elixir technique can also strengthen your spirit. There is hope of living over a hundred years old with full energy!
On August 8, Zeng Li returned to the United States.

She is no longer involved in the management of Jingji Coffee, which has been completely handed over to professional manager Philo Chelsea. After Zhou Quan injected capital into Jingji last time, the company is now developing very rapidly, with 69 stores across the United States.

On August 8, the NBA finally reached a new television broadcast contract with NBC, worth US$15 million over four years.

This contract is more than 1 million less than the current contract that is being executed. It is far lower than the previous expectations of the league. Originally, David Stern expected to get a four-year, $4 billion super contract. Now he only One third remains.

As long as it can get a broadcast contract of US$25 billion, the NBA can surpass MLB and become the second among the four major American professional sports leagues.

But it is no longer possible. This contract cannot even keep the third position. After the new broadcast contract is implemented in 98, the salary cap will definitely be lowered, and I am afraid that it will be surpassed by the Hockey League.

The reason why NBC only gave this contract is quite simple. First, there was no King of Iron Fist in Game 3 of the finals, and the ratings plummeted by [-]% to [-]%. After King of Iron Fist came back, the ratings reached a new high. Therefore, without King of Iron Fist, the NBA could rely solely on Michael A Jordan brand is only worth this price.

Second, without the Iron Fist King, the NBA will become notorious for racial discrimination, and its plan to go global will definitely go bankrupt.

Third, Jordan was defeated by the King of Iron Fist in the finals for three consecutive seasons, and was crowned by the King of Iron Fist to complete his dynasty. He could not withstand the blow of the King of Iron Fist. His reputation in the league and the sports world has plummeted, and is far from what he was at his peak. He is also old. , can no longer support the NBA league.

"The Iron Fist King single-handedly ruined the future development of the NBA league, and he must be responsible for this." New York Times.

"Success is also the Iron Fist King, and failure is also the Iron Fist King." Washington Post.

"Whoa!"

When he got up in the morning, Zhou Quan read the newspapers and threw them aside like garbage.

The mainstream media in the United States are still targeting him, and they seem to be determined.But even if they hate him, these media have to write news about him every day.

Time has entered September, and the boxing championship competition is getting closer and closer.

With the operation of super-record promotion funds, there are more and more promotion activities for boxing matches, not only in the United States, but also all over the world, and boxing match advertisements are everywhere.

……

On the morning of the 11th, Adam Silver simply ate two slices of sandwich and then prepared to go out to find a job.

After being kicked out of the NBA, he still hasn't found a job based on his academic qualifications and work experience.

He is also very clear about the reason. No company is willing to hire a well-known racist.

He doesn't have much cash on hand, and he hasn't paid off his mortgage for a month now. The bank has informed him that if the payment is overdue, a 50% penalty interest and a late payment fee of [-]% will be charged, calculated with compound interest.

Three months later, if he fails to repay the loan, the bank will initiate judicial proceedings. At that time, he has only one option: to file for personal bankruptcy, and then the bank will take away his house, which costs more than 200 million US dollars.

"Damn Iron Fist! Damn Stern!"

……

On the 25th, Zhou Quan arrived in New York and checked into the Hilton Hotel.

From this day on, he reduced the amount of training and entered the rhythm of boxing matches.

"Hubby, Jingjing has 80 stores." Zeng Li said happily during lunch that day.

"We should be able to reach [-] companies by the end of the year, and going public can be put on the agenda." Zhou Quan was very excited. It felt good to build a listed company with his own hands.

"Where's Sir?" he asked again.

"It has developed rapidly in the past two or three months, and now there are 100 stores. However, the real estate company has purchased more than [-] stores. After renovation, the store construction can be accelerated. Now Jazz is stepping up training of employees." Zeng Li said.

"How are the profits of the stores that have been opened?" he asked.

"Don't tell me, there is really a market, and the profits are not bad. Basically all the stores opened have profits, and there are still queues for good locations." Zeng Li said with a smile.

"The price of Jazz's coffee is actually quite high in China. Currently, it is considered a mid-to-high-end consumption." Zhou Quan nodded.

On the 28th, at 11 a.m., Zhou Quan and Michael Tyson attended a press conference at the Hilton Hotel, and the world-famous boxing championship officially kicked off.

In order to boost his popularity, Zhou Quan invited a group of Hollywood star friends such as Stallone to help him. They were also very happy to participate in such a high-profile press conference, and even those who didn't have time took the time to come.

In addition, he also invited a group of NBA friends, Smiling Assassin, Joe Dumars, Rodman, O'Neal, David Robinson, Mutombo, Reggie Miller, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Drexler , Schrempf et al.

At 10 o'clock, before the press conference officially started, he and Zeng Li welcomed celebrities and star friends one after another.

"Crack clap..."

Reporters frantically took pictures.

New York TV stations carried out a live broadcast, and the press conference could be seen in the New York metropolitan area.

Michael Tyson was very happy at first when he saw so many Hollywood stars arriving, but he was not happy when he saw that they were all coming for Zhou Quan.

He looked around him. There was no celebrity, just a dozen team members, and there were no reporters around him. How could this be embarrassing?

"Tang Jin, why didn't you invite any celebrities to me? Now the reporters have gone to Iron Fist." Staring at Tang Jin, he asked.

Tang Jin said: "Michael, the appearance fees of Hollywood's top stars are very high, at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you want to use the money, I can also invite some to come and help."

Tyson glanced at Zhou Quan, and Tang Jin immediately said: "They are all friends of Tie Fist. They are personal friends. They don't pay a penny for appearance fees and even pay for travel expenses. Don't you know?"

Tyson snorted angrily and didn't bother to pay attention to Tang Jin.

The old fox Tang Jin rolled his eyes and encouraged: "Michael, I heard that your relationship with Iron Fist is not bad. Why don't you go over and take advantage of the popularity of those celebrities? You know many of them too."

Tyson glared at Tang Jin, am I as shameless as you?
He has no connection with Iron Fist at all. At most, he is not bad. After this fight, he will definitely become bad.

Moreover, he is confident that he will win this boxing match. Although his current condition is not as good as his peak, he believes that he can still win in iron fist.Iron Fist's strengths are dodge and precise strikes, but this is also his strength. In front of him, Iron Fist no longer has the strongest advantage before.

With the belief that he must win, he would not take advantage of Iron Fist's popularity, which would definitely weaken his confidence in winning.

Before the battle, he would not have any contact with Iron Fist. From the moment the game was decided, Iron Fist was his enemy. How could he try to gain the popularity of his enemy?Stupid Don King!
A total of more than 20 Hollywood A-list stars, plus more than a dozen NBA stars, made the press conference star-studded and attracted a lot of attention.

"Isn't Iron Michael's noodles too shabby?"

"Why didn't Tang Jin help Tyson invite a few heavyweight boxing champions to come over and support the scene?"

"Come on, everyone wants to fight Iron Fist. The income is at least tens of millions. Tyson has grabbed the opportunity. How can the other heavyweight boxing champions be willing to come over to support him?"

"Don King's relationship with those heavyweight boxing champions is not very good."

"Tyson also doesn't have a good relationship with those boxing champions."

More than 200 reporters from all over the world crowded the press conference hall. They saw the piles of sports stars behind Zhou Quan and could not stand. Then they looked around Tyson. They were all amateurs. The appearance of this row was too different. When it got older, we couldn’t help but talk about it.

After the press conference started, Zhou Quan and Tyson stood together, and the media began to take pictures.

"Crack clap..."

Flash lights illuminated the press hall.

"King of Iron Fist, don't think that you have found a few celebrities to support you. When you get into the ring, I will beat you down in three rounds." Tyson began to let out the anger he had been holding in for a long time, and said to Zhou Quan with a fierce look on his face. .

Zhou Quan glanced at Tyson from the corner of his eye, still smiling at the media, but said: "Iron Michael, who gave you the confidence?"

Tyson said with disdain in his hideous smile: "Everyone knows, even you admit that you are imitating my boxing style. Beating you is as easy as beating my sparring partner. How about this, wait until I defeat you, Will you be my sparring partner?"

"You are so stupid! Are you thinking of shit?" Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"You are shit!" Tyson yelled back.

"Okay, I promise you, how about whoever loses can be the other's sparring partner for a month? The free one." Zhou Quan suggested.

"OK." Tyson, who was full of confidence, immediately agreed.

Entering the question period, hundreds of reporters immediately raised their hands. The moderator was Roger Philip, who pointed to a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily News.

"King of Iron Fist, what did you just say to Michael Tyson?" the reporter asked.

"He said that beating me was easy, just like beating his sparring partner. So we made a bet. Whoever loses will be his sparring partner for free for a month." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

"Oh hoo!"

There were all excited sounds below.

The reporter asked again: "Iron Fist King, the latest TV broadcast contract signed by the NBA and NBC is not as good as the current one. If inflation is included, it is only equivalent to US$94 million in 7.8, a decrease of more than US$1 million. .

In other words, the NBA has been developing for four years, but it has actually regressed. What do you think of this situation? "

Zhou Quan said: "I have a suggestion for the league. It is useless to fire a few executives. The league must be carried out from top to bottom, including the referee committee, referees, ordinary staff, team executives and even the owners. Clean up a large area and drive out all the racist elements, then the alliance will be much cleaner and purer."

"Oh!"

There was another exclamation below.

At this time, in a conference room at the NBA headquarters, a group of NBA executives were meeting collectively to discuss some matters for the new season.

"damn it!"

"Shet!"

David Stern specially asked people to turn on the TV to watch the boxing press conference between Zhou Quan and Tyson. When Zhou Quan said this, several executives suddenly cursed.

David Stern glanced at the executives coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Including Adam Silver, there are a total of eight executives. He has purged four and has four left.

These four people have higher positions, including two senior vice presidents, the chairman of the referee committee, and the vice chairman. It is not easy to deal with high positions and power. There are many people behind them, and they even have relationships with some team owners. Not bad.

Although he has the support of his bosses to purge these executives, there are also many bosses who oppose racial discrimination in person and support racial discrimination behind their backs, so these four guys have to take their time.

The new season is not far away, and the preseason will start in ten days. However, so far, TV broadcast contracts from overseas are not as good as one-third of last season. The league's operating income in this area will plummet by about [-]%.

Sales of other peripheral products, such as jerseys, also plummeted.

Because the ratings in the new season are expected to plummet, many of the league's sponsors have chosen to withdraw. The losses in this area are very large. All the following teams are now complaining, especially those in small markets.

The negative impact of Tekken Zhou Quan's retirement, or the racial discrimination against Tekken, is continuing to affect the league.

"Gentlemen, do you now know what the consequences will be if you racially discriminate against the current No. 1, the league's signature star, and one of the greatest athletes on the planet?" He said coldly. Said to everyone.

"Mr. Stern, I suggest that a large-scale cleaning be carried out immediately as King Iron Fist said. Then maybe King Iron Fist will consider coming back."

Rex Ross, the league's senior vice president, stared at Lilo Dix, the chairman of the referee committee, and said coldly.

"Mr. Ross, what are you looking at me for?" Lelodex said angrily.

"Aren't you going to ban the Iron Fist King for life? You should bear the consequences now." Rex Ross said angrily.

"This is only temporary, and the situation will definitely improve." Lirodix said without confidence.

"What a turn of events! The TV broadcast contract has been signed. Even if Iron Fist comes back today, it won't be able to change that contract." Another executive cursed at Dix.

"We have lost US$4 billion in four years, overseas operating income has plummeted by 17%, and sponsorship income has been reduced by half. Someone must bear the consequences." Another executive broke out.
