NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1341 Nike's Intention

"It means that only when the hands and feet of the hammer are tied, they feel that they have a chance to win." Barkley blurted out.

"The Lakers are also among them, because Kupchak also stood up to support the Warriors and support the league's limited defense." Kenny Smith laughed.

At the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Li sighed: "There is a lot of public opinion now, and the pressure on the league is also great. I just saw some news pushed by the media that Nike wants the Hammers to stay in the league. What do you think this means?"

Yu Jiadao: "In my opinion, if the Hammers really retire and leave the league forever, then the ball market will definitely shrink. We can see it in the two seasons he retired. It has shrunk by more than half. This is still a temporary retirement. If it is true Completely retiring, the football market will definitely shrink by half, and it is not impossible to go back to the past."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Now in the playoffs, it is not uncommon for the Suns to break through [-] million games. If we go back to the past, the ratings would be at most a few million, or about half."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "The Lakers' previous playoffs were generally more than 1000 million."

Xu Jicheng continued: "Yes, that's right. The shrinking football market is also a blow to Nike, and it is not good for it. So Nike wants the hammer to stay. This kind of motivation is understandable."

Zhang Lili said: "It is everyone who wants Hammer to stay, including TNT, ESPN, and our CCTV broadcasters."

At this time, Yu Jia said: "When it comes to influence, although it is said to be a competitor, Nike really has to rely on the hammer."

"Oh, how do you say that?" Xu Jicheng asked with interest.

Yu Jia said with a smile: "That's right. I followed the U.S. men's basketball game at the London Olympics last year and found some interesting things. The commentators from some countries didn't know James."

"Oh, really?" Zhang Lili said in surprise.

"James is Nike's active player. Except for Jordan, it is James. There are commentators who don't know him?"

Xu Jicheng said in surprise.

Yu Jiadao: "This is a question of world popularity and influence. In today's words, it is James, the NBA superstar, who has not yet achieved real influence in the world. His influence, The biggest manifestation is still in North America. In the world and in other sports fields, his influence is still too far away, too far away from the hammer."

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "James has only won one championship, and there is a radiant hammer on his head. It is understandable that he has received little attention. Whether it is honor or statistics, he is far away from the hammer. , There is no comparison. The Hammer can crush him with those five-doubles alone."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "So Nike is in the field of basketball. If it wants to promote its products in the world, its biggest reliance is the hammer, because only the hammer is the only world-class superstar in the basketball world."

Zhang Lili sighed: "Basketball, boxing, tennis, and hammer are kings in the three worlds. There is no one before, and no one to come after!"

Xu Jicheng said: "That's why Nike doesn't want Hammer to leave the NBA completely."

At this time, the two sides are starting to prepare to play and meet at the exit.

"Hammer, if the league revises the rules, you won't really retire, will you?" Kobe said when they met.

"Why not?" Li Ba laughed.

"Are you scared?" Kobe asked angrily.

Li Ba smiled, but was not angry.

He still admires Kobe very much. Kobe has the kind of paranoia about basketball that he doesn't have, a kind of extreme concentration.

A man who is focused is the most handsome. This kind of extreme focus gives Kobe a charm that he doesn't have.

He glanced at Kupchak, who was following behind, and the latter smiled at him, and he also smiled with a bland smile, then stared at Kobe and said coldly:
"Just now, I haven't decided whether to retire due to the league's rules restricting defense. Now I can tell you with certainty that no one can control me. If the league dares to introduce rules restricting defense, then I will definitely retire."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Kupchak's face disappeared immediately, and a kind of pressure rose from his heart instantly.

Although the Lakers are in Los Angeles, the ball market is very secure, but Los Angeles is not just a professional sports team for the Lakers. If the ball market shrinks due to the retirement of the Hammers, it will also suffer huge losses. Last season, the loss due to the retirement of the Hammers was huge. Small, the facts have proven it.

"Boss."

At this time, Tony Allen and Paul came up to greet them.

Kobe looked around, Xie Te, the four starting teammates, three of them were the bastard's younger brothers of Hammer, he was a bit dark-faced, and beat him back and forth, and he was surrounded by the younger brothers of Hammer.

But forget it, because including himself, all five of them follow the hammer to invest and make money.

At this time, the away team played, and Li Ba was the finale. When he played, in addition to more than [-] away fans standing and applauding, there were also countless Lakers fans cheering for him.

In the front row, a large number of celebrities stood up and greeted Li Ba, some of whom were also shareholders of Xianbei Restaurant and investors of Xianbei Wine Trading Company.

After 15 minutes, the game started, and Li Ba and Howard were ready to jump the ball.

Barkley said at this time: "This season, Howard's average time and average data per game have declined compared to last season, falling out of the 20+10 clubs, and his efficiency value has also declined.

He is a player who plays with physical fitness, which shows that his physical condition has begun to decline, and he has entered a period of professional decline, and his peak has passed.

From this point of view, the Magic trade Howard is correct. "

Kenny Smith said: "Howard is only 28 years old this year, and the Hammer is 31 years old, and his state is still at its peak. This is the difference in physique."

"In fact, the Hammer's data has also declined, but it still overwhelms the entire league, and the gap is too big, so it's not conspicuous." Barkley said.

"How can you be sure that the hammer is not playing? After all, it is only the regular season, and the playing time of the hammer is only 30 minutes. Moreover, the Suns have too many young players with strong abilities. The Suns must train them. Given a chance, it’s impossible to grab it with a hammer.”

Kenny Smith laughed.

Barkley nodded and said, "I agree with you, Kenny."

At this time, Li Ba won the jump ball and the Suns attacked.

Paul retreated to the top of the arc, fully focused.

From the last regular season game against the Suns, he knew very well that Harden's strength on both ends of the offense and defense has improved rapidly, and his efficiency is declining when facing Harden.

From media reports, he knew that it was his fake boss who was helping Harden in training, so now he needs to focus 120% of his attention on Harden.

Harden held the ball, just near the top of the arc, and suddenly made a pass inward.

Paul's reaction was quick and correct. Not only did he not look back at the ball, but he jumped up and intercepted the ball immediately.

But unfortunately, this was a fake move. Harden made a fake fax shot. After Paul took off, he jumped up and made a three-pointer.

With a sound of swiping, it was equivalent to an open three-pointer, which was very accurate, and a sword pierced through the heart.

With a shot over Paul's head, Harden's confidence rose.

This is his initiative. Before Paul's defense comes up, he will actively force or induce Paul to make the action he wants him to do, and then take the opportunity to make a shot.
