NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

It's just that I didn't expect that the Knicks and the Thunder would later become the strongest youth army in the east and west. Who is the real youth storm? ?

The NBA China Games refers to two NBA preseason games held in China every year.

The NBA is a basketball league in the United States, which is generally held in the United States, but in order to expand its influence, the NBA will hold games played by NBA teams in countries other than the United States.

The China game was played for the first time in 04. At that time, the Rockets VS Kings. At that time, the Kings had a rookie Liu Wei who was undergoing trial training.

After tasting the sweetness, the Basketball Association tried for another 07 years in 08, 09 and 3.

It was vacant for 3 years. Jiang Chao asked David Stern why the event was terminated. David Stern said that part of the reason was the distribution of benefits. He made a lot of money, but it had to be divided among multiple parties. How to divide it after 04 It was never decided.

Another reason is that the NBA doesn’t want the Rockets to go to China every year. What they want to promote is the entire NBA, not Yao Ming’s team. The Basketball Association only has Chinese teams. There are these contradictions. It was delayed.

It wasn't until 07 that fans of more superstars in China increased that the Basketball Association opened the door again.

Howard had already played in 07. At that time, the Magic played the Cavaliers. It can be regarded as accumulating a lot of Chinese fans for these two superstars, and he can be regarded as the originator of the China trip.

In 08, it was for Yi Jianlian, the Bucks played the Warriors.

Last year, it was full of seats after going to Ryukyu. Big Bird finally applied for money. Pacers VS Nuggets, and also played a wonderful scene of Granger being expelled (let Chinese fans also see the bloody side of NBA)

Originally, it was decided that the Nets would play the Rockets this year, but after YAO joined the Knicks, the Basketball Association made hundreds of phone calls implying that the NBA must have a Knicks team.

Xinlan City even threatened to never do it again.

Originally, there was indeed a proposal to cancel after the event last year, but this year's Men's Basketball World Championships quarter-finals, the Knicks and Li Kaier are naturalized... the higher-ups are so happy!

It can also be regarded as giving back to Jiang Chao’s contribution to the Basketball Association, allowing the Knicks to participate in a preseason game held abroad for the first time in history (the Knicks earn more money per home game than playing abroad because of the popularity of the Knicks. To earn more.)

This also let Jiang Chao know the distribution of benefits.

The Basketball Association earns 50%, the NBA earns 25%, and the remaining two participating teams each earn 12.5%. Sure enough, to promote the NBA, we still have to give the biggest cake to the local area.

David Stern also has a headache. In fact, if he wanted to change, he would have wanted the Heat to play the Knicks directly. James and Wade have a lot more fans in China than Durant + Westbrook, and the beff between the Heat and the Knicks (fetter ) a whole lot.

But the Heat were too arrogant and didn't want to come. They thought it was too far away, and Riley also knew that the Big Three urgently needed to adjust, so they were all in the United States for the preseason and didn't go out to make money.

However, the NBA China Game is really popular. This is the only way ordinary fans like Jiang Chao can watch the NBA live. Later, when the Lakers Kobe and the Warriors Curry came, it was hard to find tickets. The number of Chinese basketball fans has been the same in recent years. geometric growth.

And why Jiang Chao didn't want to go, because it was too annoying.

I thought that the boss of the China competition would just wait for the money to be collected, but I didn't expect that everything was on his side.

Because of his operations this year and Dayao's formal removal from the injured list, the Knicks are now a completely Chinese home team. Chinese fans from the Rockets, Bucks, and Nets all gathered here. side.

Liu Yan made a form. If Jiang Chao went to China for five days, the organizer would have more than 100 activities waiting for him, and they would not be able to refuse.

Signing activities, basketball trips around the world, lectures, speeches, college trips, university trips, local government escorted trips, dinners every night...

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Although he does have to go to China once for something in the new season, he will definitely not join in the excitement of the China game. This is the stage for the players, and he also promised the players that they will not attend too many commercial activities this year.

Therefore, Scarlett was sent by Chaoshen Group. Scarlett's "Super Body" just happened to be released in China, and she was going to promote it.

Scarlett came over from apartment one-57 with bags on her back: "You really don't want to go?"

Jiang Chao held the brush in his hand:

"Practice calligraphy at home, isn't it good for self-cultivation?"

"Calligraphy?" Scarlett looked curiously at Jiang Chao, a big flying grass with the character "Yu".

On the other hand, Liu Yan stepped aside shyly. She and Lily Collins practiced calligraphy with him.

The next day.

Kennedy Airport.

Sean Marks gave a lecture at the airport and said some precautions. One is not to cause trouble in China, and you are not allowed to go to nightclubs. You can eat delicious food.

Then I talked about the goal of the China game, to play well while pursuing tactics. This can be regarded as the first live broadcast game of the new Knicks in the new season of the NBA, and they played with style!No need to hide.

"You can show off on the court, act as an All-Star, and mentally treat it as a formal game."

Stevens also said with a smile, to go to the boss's real home court, you must play with style.

This is actually Jiang Chao's request. In fact, some teams in the previous life were very good at creating something to watch. For example, Curry played half of the China game in his previous life, but the 19 points in a single quarter still made the fans happy.

Timberwolves At that time, Butler pretended to be tough, and after being knocked down, he did push-ups to pay tribute to the wolf king...

In addition, Anthony scored 45 points in the China game last year and instantly gained a lot of secrets.

Curry regretted:

"Is the boss really not going?"

Sean Marks: "I'm not going either, this is your stage, and we can't watch the game with peace of mind like we are here."

This is true. The day before yesterday, the Chinese Basketball Association has kindly invited everyone from the Knicks management to go together. They are making reservations for major programs ranging from the Yangma set to the 11 sets. Idol traffic expert Jiang Chao is over!

"Well, without the boss, it's meaningless."

"What do you mean, you don't need to socialize, don't understand the boss's tiredness, he also wants to keep fit!"

"That's right, I don't want to see our boss's stomach turn into a swimming ring." As a die-hard ginger fan, Matthews shook his head quickly thinking of the bloated and fat bosses of other teams.

Although there may be various actors involved in a big drama, it is Knicks' behind-the-scenes big boss who is really set off as the protagonist.

He has created Chaochao, which is more convenient than QQ for Chinese people, League of Legends, which is faster and more fun than World of Warcraft, and Mr. Jiang, who has set a benchmark for domestic Xianxia TV series!

Undoubtedly, in the two NBA China preseason games, Yao Ming was the star among the stars, and Jiang Chao was the big star behind the scenes.

And the Basketball Association and Yang Ma want to take this opportunity to let Jiang Chao come from behind the scenes to the stage.

The major fan groups have been boiling 2 days in advance, and the tickets are sold out.

The commentator Yu Jia commented on this event:

"This trip was brought by Jiang Chao. Although he is only 21 years old, he has already won the love of billions of people in the motherland by virtue of his perfect operation and way of dealing with people—"

The appearance of one person can narrow the distance between two places in the world. It may sound unbelievable at first, but Jiang Chao has indeed done this.

In Kecheng, where Yao Ming was in the west, Jiang Chao successfully built the Knicks into China's No. [-] home team within a year, and also brought the Chinese team into the top eight of the World Championships for the second time in history!

Wherever you go, you can’t resist the power brought by the Knicks. Huge posters, various billboards, his super god generation boots, and Heizi’s basketball super animation, all enter your life every second. line of sight.

……

That night.

The Thunder and Knicks team visited China for the first time.

Jiang Chao made a phone call to the tour guide: "Cultural output is the main focus, supplemented by food and drink."

It means that it is useless for me to say that China is a game or how good China is. It is true only if they feel it.

"It's impossible for a basketball player to be so popular in my country of Congo," Ibaka told reporters after arriving in China.

Although China is geographically larger, it is surprising that fans are so enthusiastic about a boss.He is a well-deserved star in the eyes of Chinese fans, because he has helped them fulfill too many dreams! ! "

Mr. Pu originally refused the league's arrangement with them. Although he was also interested in the mysterious ancient oriental country, the time period of the preseason game was too disruptive.

Until he was taken to climb the Great Wall on the first day.

"We were all stunned to see the Great Wall, and while this trip disrupted the continuity of our training and competition, I don't think any of us would be willing to trade two training sessions in the US for us to be here this time. A cultural journey in China."

Even Westbrook praised China before the start of the game:

"Our visit was perfect. The people here were surprisingly polite and friendly, and the trip will be remembered forever."

After finishing the game a week later, they basically left with reluctance.

Thunder insider Harrington was booed by many fans even though he tried his best to resist Yao Ming in the game.

But he also thinks this is a rare experience, and he is reluctant to part with China: "China is an exciting and unforgettable place, we are very happy to have made a great trip, and I am also very happy that I am so far from the United States Came here."

Gallinari: "I never thought that I would come to this land as a Thunder player. This may be a rare opportunity in my life to play for the country of the old club owner. I saw the influence of the NBA on China. , I also saw the contribution made by Boss Jiang, I love the stalwart of the Great Wall, and I love the roast duck here!"

This is what Jiang Chao wants to see.

If he goes, no matter who says anything, he will feel that he is selling his face, and if he, the host, does not go, let the NBA people feel it for themselves, that is a true reflection, and it is also a bridge connecting countries around the world through sports!

In fact, the NBA China Game is not just two basketball games, but more importantly, it is a kind of cultural communication, a bridge that brings friendship closer to people from all over the world.

It was an exaggeration in the past. In 04, it was decided to invite former U.S. president T. Clton to serve as the NBA preseason cultural ambassador, and invited the U.S. company to hold a public welfare concert with millions of people in Tianyanmen Square.

If it weren't for the technical inability to do it later, it would really be possible!

With all the people in the NBA in place, fans also regret Jiang Chao's absence on the forum.

However, there are people in China who understand that Jiang Chao is quiet every time he returns to China, and this time his swaggering is not his favorite way.

Jiang Chao sent a heartwarming message to everyone on Weibo:

"I wish the motherland prosperity and prosperity, and I wish everyone a happy National Day. I'm going to have a wonderful holiday too!"

……

National Day holiday.

8:[-] p.m. Imperial time.

This time the domestic fans are so excited, they finally don't have to go to work in the morning to peek at the game, and watch it during prime time!

Wukesong Stadium was buzzing with people.

Wukesong, who just happened to be on the National Day holiday, made less than $500 million today!

The ticket prices have been hyped up to sky-high prices by scalpers, and the China Games are already full of feelings and expectations.

Coupled with the fact that the first game is in Wukesong, this is equivalent to playing the NBA Finals in Madison Square for one night. The front row is full of big names, the first and second leaders of the Basketball Association, the directors of major sports, and their families.

As well as those stars in the entertainment industry who tried their best to show their faces in the front row, such as Sun Li, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, Iron Man Liu Ye, F4 Hao from Meteor Garden, and Yu Wenle who just started trendy brands.

Speaking of trendy brands, Mr. Chen will naturally not be absent. He recently transformed the Curry generation of Chaoshen Sports into a pair of terracotta warriors and horses with a whiteboard. He is wearing this pair today, but his jersey is a James Heat jersey, old James. .

There is also the biggest player Li Link. His charity has cooperated with NBA officials, and he also likes to play in private.

Since Jiang Chao didn't come, the most handsome person on the sidelines became Wu Yanzu, who was filming in the imperial capital, and they made the front row star-studded.

Since it is the team game of the president of Chaoshen Group, there are also 50 tickets for the family of Chaoshen Group. The next few rows are Big Secret, Scarlett, Jiang Shuying, Liu Shishi, including Zhang Xiaolong, Anta President Ding Shizhong and his daughter.

There is also Yao Yi's fan group, Li Kaier has a fan group, and posters are hung high in the stands.

Here, Jiang Chao just woke up in New York. While turning on the phone and waiting for the competition to start, he called Lily Collins, who got up early to practice Pilates, over.

"What do you want..." Snow White was dressed in a white silk pajamas suit in the morning, with a fairy air.

"I want to practice our Chinese calligraphy."

Jiang Chao lowered his head and whispered in the girl's ear.

"Hey, hey, don't be fooled by him, you can't learn!" Liu Yan upstairs who was washing up shouted, she just finished learning last night, and she was very empty.

"what?"

Before Lili could react, Jiang Chao's hand hooked her small waist, and she cried out in surprise, and was held in Jiang Chao's arms.

"I'm starting to learn."

Li engraved posts with Shaobei!

Jiang Chao entered the workshop, knocked on the bottom of the seal after copying, and then the tip of the brush came under water.

I copied it by hand while I was on the verge, and I didn't feel that the ink was on the page, and the pen moistened it, and I copied it directly.

The way of the seal has been opened, so that the paper can be soaked, otherwise this wonderful pen cannot be copied.

At this time, with the trajectory, I will be mad at the brush and ink, and keep mad, and copy this wonderful word in an instant.

"Have you learned..."

Lily's eyes are watery, and Jiang Chao's calligraphy for breakfast is vertical and horizontal, which can be called a master cursive script.

"Watch the game."

……

Attributed to the game.

"Good evening, audience friends! Welcome everyone to watch the 2010-2011 season NBA China Game!" The familiar Yu Jia started...

Both the Thunder and the Knicks made their season debuts.

Stevens still knows how to play, and the first game will directly kill the top five, so let's get hot first.

Harden + Turk Drew + Okur + Howard + Yao!
