NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1340 Scapegoat

"Tie Hammer, please face up..." The reporter was so anxious that his face turned black.

"Shut up! This is my territory, is it your turn to decide? Either I will continue to talk, or you get out, and I will continue to guess this puzzle for others."

Li Ba said with a cold and stern expression.

The reporter suffocated, how dare he go out at this time?I had to shut my mouth.

Li Ba sneered, "The third one that has lost a lot of profit is other teams. These teams are divided into two types, one is the team that stood up to support the Warriors this time, and the other is the team that did not stand up. Team.

Of these two teams, the latter is impossible, because they can contact me directly, so only the former is possible.

But this possibility is unlikely, because they can completely retain me through the alliance officials, and it is unlikely to use such a clumsy aggressive method to achieve their goals through a reporter like you.

Then the fourth huge loss of interest is my sponsors like Adidas.

But this is also impossible, because Adi and the others do not need to use you to achieve their goals. They can completely discuss this issue with me at my home.

So who is the fifth who has lost a lot of benefits? "

When he said this, the panic in the reporter's heart could no longer be suppressed, and it had already shown on his face.

Li Ba glanced at the other reporters, who were all staring at him closely, and the mic in his hand was about to poke into his mouth.

"Fifth, those who must have gained huge profits in the skyrocketing football market, and may lose huge profits in the shrinking football market, and at the same time cannot contact me, can only let me stay through this disadvantage. Yes, who is he?" Li Ba asked these reporters this question.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Yu Jia's head, eager to try, he tentatively said a word: "Nike?"

In the next second, Li Ba put his thumb up in front of Yu Jia.

Before the game even started, a message spread all over the world that Nike wanted the Hammers to stay in the NBA.

The first potential meaning revealed by this news is that it reflects Li Ba's influence. Even Adidas' competitor Nike relies on the influence of the hammer.

The second potential meaning is that Nike feels that the hammer may leave the NBA league completely.

Many media people who reacted quickly responded immediately, such as the famous basketball commentator Wo Shen, who immediately updated his column on Yahoo Sports.

"Combined with the current public opinion turmoil, the league is wrestling, one side is a traditional team, and the other side is a small ball team, so what role does Nike play in it?

It's easy to judge, as long as we look at who the players who stood up to support the Warriors this time, we can know the role of Nike.

So who are these players?They are all Nike players, so now everyone knows what role Nike plays in this public opinion storm, right? "

Wo Shen has always been known for his accurate news, and he can even get the news before many transactions happen, so many people pay attention to his column.

His column article pushed Nike to the foreground.

The battle between the Lakers and the Suns is about to begin, and countless people around the world are paying attention to this game. As soon as this article came out, it immediately sparked discussions among countless people.

"Is the public opinion against the Hammer really Nike doing something?"

"I think it's Nike who is making trouble. Nike's players are crushed by the hammer. Adidas has made a comeback in the NBA, so Nike hopes that the league will introduce rules to limit defense. This is Nike's motivation. But at the same time, Nike I don’t want the ball market to shrink, so I hope the Hammers will stay in the league.”

"I'm more interested in, are the Hammers really afraid of small ball play?"

"I think once the league restricts the defense, the Hammers will be eliminated, so I also think he is evading."

"Nonsense, the Hammers are afraid of small balls? How fast the Suns can switch offense and defense this season is no less than the Warriors."

"Restricting defense will definitely have a great impact on the Hammers."

"If the NBA restricts defense, then the game will lose confrontation and soft games. Anyway, I won't watch it anymore. I'd better watch my NFL."

"I watched the NBA because of the Hammers. If he quits the league, I will definitely not follow the NBA anymore."

"This matter is very troublesome. Major matters in the league are decided by all the owners on the board of directors. Now that two-thirds of the teams support the revision of the rules, then the league is likely to introduce rules that restrict defense. We have made Get ready to lose the hammer."

"There's no mental preparation, just watch the NFL, that's a man's game."

At the Nike headquarters, all the top executives are working overtime instead of off work.

President Philip Knight felt trouble, and Nike was pushed to the foreground, which is very passive for Nike.

In front of him, Loughlin was sweating profusely. His affairs were messed up. Mr. President entrusted him with the affairs, but that damn reporter exposed Nike.

"Stupid guy!"

Staring at Loughlin, Philip Knight reprimanded indifferently: "You are responsible for this matter, and you are fully responsible."

Rocklin was terrified and sweating profusely. He didn't want to lose his position at Nike, let alone lose the trust of Mr. President. He needed this recognition, and he wanted to become a real American in his dreams.

With a cold snort, Philip Knight no longer focused on Loughlin, he just needed a scapegoat.

In recent years, he has been overturned by Adi, and he has been under tremendous pressure from the board of directors.

Although the share is less, Nike relies on the expanding ball market, and its revenue and profits have not decreased, so he can still bear this pressure.

But this season, in order to build a superstar lineup, Nike has sent a lot of funds to the Lakers and the Heat. This time, in order to unite those teams, he promised to send no less than 3000 million US dollars to each team within three years. Funds, just this expense, is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars. He is under more pressure, and the board of directors may hold him accountable at any time, so he has to prepare a scapegoat in advance.

When the public opinion became more and more intense, the starting rosters of the Suns and the Lakers were announced.

Suns: Lee Ba, Garnett, Jimmy Butler, George Hill, Harden.

Lakers: Howard, UAE, Tony Allen, Kobe, Paul.

In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley smiled and said: "The Lakers lineup is too luxurious, five starters, four maximum salary, this is a superstar lineup piled up with dollar bills, you must know that the average team only has room for one maximum salary, Old Mr. Bass is too willing to spend money."

"Yeah, the Suns are too shabby, with five starters, three of them have rookie contracts, and only the Hammers have a maximum salary. That's it. Now two-thirds of the teams and players still want the league to restrict defense. What does this mean? ?” Kenny Smith said.
