NBA bench saves national team

Chapter 221

David Stern struck decisively and quickly called a meeting of league executives.

At the round table of the meeting, all the executives looked at the report and were all in shock.

"It's hard to imagine that the one who set off this storm will be a player from China!"

"Qin Feng's influence in China is understandable, but what the hell is it that can get such huge support in the United States?"

"Yes! When did Qin Feng's influence in the United States become so huge?"

"Man, Qin Feng has already been able to influence the financial circle of the United States, so what is this?"

"Either way, it's a good sign for the development of the NBA."

Executives chatted.

David Stern snorted.

There was an instant silence.

"After Jordan retired, many Jordan successors emerged, such as Kobe, Iverson, Tracy McGrady, James, etc. Although these players are great, none of them can truly match Jordan, they can only be infinitely close to Jordan."

"And now, Qin Feng's rise made me see the next Jordan, maybe even surpass Jordan!"

"So, with Qin Feng already having such influence, we also need to step up various publicity efforts to make Qin Feng's popularity and influence even higher!"

"The future! He will be the face of the NBA!"

David Stern said, with unquestionable determination in his tone.

From admiration at the beginning, to surprise later, to firmness now, Stern is very clear why he has such a change in his mental journey.

It's all because of the huge energy that Qin Feng has shown time and time again.

Whether on the court or off the court, Qin Feng can always surprise, shock and admire people.

"President, it's still too early to make a conclusion!"

"There have been unbelievable players like Qin Feng before, such as Grant Hill, who won the honor of the All-Star vote champion in his rookie season."

"After Jordan came back, he still overwhelmed Jordan to win the votes for two consecutive years! With such influence, Hill is also the most promising player to replace Jordan, but injuries ruined everything."

"It turns out that there's more to being an athlete who impacted the world like Jordan than just showing talent."

"Besides, Qin Feng is from China after all..."

Some people hold opposing views.

Gathering all the resources of the nba to promote a Chinese rookie still aroused some people's resentment.

The last sentence was not complete, but everyone present knew what he meant.

The nba is a big family of basketball players from many countries. It can be said to be all-inclusive, but since the establishment of the nba, all the players who have really ruled the league have always been native American athletes.

No international player has ever been No. 1 in the NBA.

But now Stern's intention is obvious, that is, to promote this Chinese player as the No. 1 player in the NBA.

This makes it difficult for some executives to accept.

"Judging from the number of votes in this half-day, he is very likely to become the second player to become the All-Star vote leader as a rookie after Grant Hill!"

"And Qin Feng's dominance on the court is much stronger than Hill's. I agree with the president's opinion."

Some executives followed up and said, some looked down on the person who just spoke.

If these players are only distinguished by nationality, the pattern is really too small.

No matter how great Qin Feng's achievements in the NBA are, the NBA is still the NBA of the United States, and the interests will always be the interests of the United States.

So what is there to worry about?

"Qin Feng can be granted American citizenship, so we have nothing to worry about."

Some executives said, put forward their own opinions.

"Man, your opinion is really stupid. Qin Feng can give up Nike's $1 million contract for the dignity of the Chinese people. Do you expect him to give up his Chinese nationality?"

Someone sneered.

"Is 1 million US dollars a lot? What we can give is the position of the new generation of basketball gods!"

"How many talents have emerged in basketball since its inception? And Qin Feng is the No.1 in this sport, the king who tramples everyone under his feet!"

"Is this what 1 million dollars can be exchanged for?"

Some executives said that they were very excited.

There are billions of people in this world, and countless geniuses have emerged in every field, but there are very few who can become the absolute king of a field.

An absolute king like this cannot be measured by money.

"enough!"

David Stern interrupted everyone's discussion, and his expression became serious.

He heard everyone's words, and everyone's words had a certain truth.

But the future development of nba still needs to be decided by him, the president.

"Everyone is right. Let's temporarily gather a small amount of resources to promote Qin Feng, and then let him continue to grow in the NBA!"

"After all, this is Qin Feng's rookie season, and we still have a long time to discuss this issue."

"If one day Qin Feng becomes a basketball player surpassing Michael Jordan, then he must resort to some means to get him naturalized in the United States."

David Stern said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Whether Qin Feng can become the face of the NBA, and become the new basketball god who can replace Jordan in the eyes of these big shots, depends on how much energy he can show in his future career.

"President, before the All-Star Game, the biggest highlight of the NBA is the Christmas game."

"But I just checked. There is no Thunder game in this year's Christmas game, which also means that fans will not see Qin Feng on Christmas."

"As far as his current influence is concerned, will it affect the ratings of the Christmas game?"

Questions were raised.

Compared with the ethereal question of whether Qin Feng can surpass Jordan and become the god of basketball, the upcoming Christmas game is the most urgent problem to be solved.

"Can we make an adjustment to the Thunder's game? Arrange their game around New Year's Day to the Christmas game."

Someone suggested.

"This is not good! There has never been such a precedent before, and the intention to adjust the Thunder's schedule is too obvious, and it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among other players."

Someone objected.

Then, everyone turned their attention to David Stern.

"No schedule adjustments! Let's see how the Christmas game without Qin Feng will react this year?"

"Just to verify Qin Feng's influence in the United States!"

"Although the number of votes for Qin Feng in this All-Star voting is ridiculously high, it cannot be ruled out that some people are maliciously swiping votes."

Stern thought for a while and said, with the final word.

"Then what if the ratings of the Christmas parade are not good?"

Someone asked worriedly.

As one of the most important schedules of the NBA season, the significance of the Christmas game is self-evident.

"Without Qin Feng, we still have superstars such as Kobe, James, Nowitzki, and Nash. There are plenty to watch! So don't worry."

"If the ratings are really not ideal, then we will broadcast a full-meter live broadcast of a Thunder game at the end of the year."

Stern said.

"What kind of gimmick is used to promote it?"

"Year-end battle!!"
