New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 414 Against the Blazers

After reorganizing the lineup, the Lakers ushered in the challenge of another Western Conference powerhouse, the Portland Trail Blazers.If it is said that the game between them lacks suspense.

After all, the Blazers have also experienced a wave of injuries. Now the main point guard Grant has just returned from injury, and the team's vitality has not yet fully recovered.

But whether it's Zhang Yi, Robert, or Wally, they have just experienced an unexpected hard battle, and the team's overall lineup has undergone tremendous changes.

So before the game started, neither the Lakers executives nor the sports news in Los Angeles had much confidence in the ball.

Players who can enter the NBA are all capable. After all, few can play in the world's top basketball league purely by luck.

Especially with the reduction of a large number of players.Originally, hundreds of people would enter the league every year.But the current draft only has one and two rounds.

In other words, the vast majority of college basketball players cannot enter the NBA, and the possibility of even playing in professional leagues is very small.

In addition to playing in foreign leagues, most of them played in some minor leagues in the United States.The difference in treatment is huge.

After all, playing in the NBA is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step. Even the worst player in the league can get a year's salary that exceeds the lifetime income of ordinary people.

And this is not to mention other side jobs, after all, in this era, having a reputation is equivalent to gaining wealth and everything.Zhang Yi now clearly has a rookie annual salary of one million, but his overall worth has already exceeded ten million.

This is of course because of his endorsement in the Super Basketball Federation and KING.That's the starting price for a super rookie right now.

It's not that basketball has a great influence, but that each of them has a great subsidiary value.The number of people watching the game around the world is declining year by year, but that still doesn't stop them from becoming one of the biggest business leagues in the world.

And because of the business model, they are even more capable of making money than some top football leagues.No matter how the future develops.Under the leadership of the new league president, it is also felt that the NBA may enter a new era.

Zhang Yi may be the helmsman among the players.Regardless of his oriental blood, of course this also has a very important bonus.It has been too many years since a Duke player can become the leader of the NBA.

The Chinese faces playing in the NBA are basically all Chinese, not pure Grand Duke players.So Zhang Yi's success is of course even more precious.

And apart from his strength and background, when considering the future of the NBA, it is impossible to deny the involvement of the game world.Just like the auxiliary role of 2K games in the basketball market back then.

The current Super Basketball League endorsed by Zhang Yi is also an important trend.Even LeBron James, the owner of the Super Basketball League, intends to integrate the game and the league.

Of course, this idea is still in its infancy, but correspondingly, Zhang Yi has not yet had the opportunity for him to realize it.If it can, it will allow players to play without injuries.

Various ultra-high-level confrontation elements are likely to improve the performance between players.At least that's the way it's going now.

These basketball players were originally suffering from being unable to break through, but now they can indeed meet their requirements in the virtual world.

In addition, the current technology of the Super Basketball Federation has indeed reached a top level.Even other super technology companies cannot deny this.

The development of the NBA is inseparable from Zhang Yi and the KING company he represents behind him.This is almost a sure thing.

This is why he was considered to be Curry's successor as soon as he entered the league, and he can become the league's top card from next year.

Off-court factors will always have the ability to influence the situation, especially some capital that cannot be ignored.Even a powerful president cannot be taken lightly.

Success for the Lakers has long been on the agenda.As long as they perform normally, even if they can't win the championship this year, they can be next year or the year after at the latest.

Although everything is unknown, after all, what if Zhang Yi retired early due to injury like Wang Long?Everything turned into a bubble.

But of course that's not going to happen, and even the league won't let him.Because the lack of Zhang Yi means that they will have more troubles.

This alliance must have a clear signboard, and behind him must also stand and support the largest enterprise in the alliance.The previous company was probably Nike.

But the situation of future development can only be Zhang Yi and the KING company behind him.Even LeBron James did not cast the net everywhere like Nike did back then, focusing on fishing.

What he followed was elite tactics, and now his company has only Zhang Yi as its spokesperson.Of course it wasn't because he didn't have extra funds to rob people?It's not that their strength is limited.

On the contrary, for the once big sign of basketball, James is very aware of the difference between Zhang Yi and other players.Not to mention that the current alliance is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes.

Really good players have long been monopolized by other companies, and their value has long been overdrawn.There is no reason to grab it at all.

As long as Zhang Yi is caught, the rest of the players are not important.Although there will be players with eye-catching performances in every game, the requirement of KING is that Zhang Yi must perform at a super level in every game.

This is just like James at the beginning.His training and maintenance of his body is the key to his long career.

I think Nike signed him because of the title of the Chosen Son on the one hand, and his long-term value on the other hand.

The same is true for Zhang Yi now. His short-term gains have helped KING to gain a firm foothold in the league.But in the future games, he will have to maintain an efficient king.

Although the current Lakers often have problems.But this does not mean that it is Zhang Yi's problem.On the contrary, there were also various problems around James back then.

Coupled with the fact that Zhang Yi's current ability has indeed met everyone's expectations, there is no problem.Whether the Lakers can catch Zhang Yi is his question.

No matter how Wacker tuned the team.But he knows which is more important, no matter what others say, Zhang Yi is the most important player.

Whether it is Robert or Wall-E, they will always be just pawns around them.Even if Zhang Yi is unwilling to give up, but when it is confirmed, the Lakers' lineup will definitely undergo tremendous changes.

And it's not just the difference between the two of them going from starters to backups.To become No.1 in the league, winning the championship is a must.
