Legend Raiders

Chapter 477 Meeting with the CEO
On the third day of the finals, the best rookie award was finally awarded on this day.

As a reward for the strongest rookie players, since the league established this award, it will hold a slightly grand award ceremony for such young people, which is undoubtedly the best reward for them.

Rocket Media Hall.

The award ceremony for Qin Tao's best rookie will begin in half an hour, but dozens of reporters have gathered here to wait.

If the biggest difference in the best rookie award ceremony in the past few years is, it may be the influence of this rookie.

Coupled with what David Stern said before, no one doubts Qin Tao's future, at least what kind of development it will be in recent years.

Besides, aside from these, the state of Qin Tao and the Rockets is already very good material.

If they catch some eye-popping material in the press conference after the ceremony, it would be a worthwhile trip.

Soon.

Accompanied by Qin Tao in a suit and accompanied by Zarya and the team owner and manager, they became the focus of the entire venue.

But when David Stern and Adam Silver walked out together, the media gave them a lot of face and immediately surrounded them.

After a fairly peaceful meeting, David Stern personally handed the trophy to Qin Tao.

While no one else could hear, Stern said with a smile on his face: "Little guy, now that my promise has been basically fulfilled, when will your promise be fulfilled?"

Qin Tao was taken aback, the smile on his face somewhat confused.

However, after recalling the first meeting between the two, he nodded suddenly: "I am doing what I promised, and you will see a good response this summer."

Oh?
David Stern's eyes lit up immediately. He had great expectations for the Chinese market, and even the Asian market.

If what Qin Tao said is true, then their layout and operation in the Chinese market will not only continue after Yao Ming retires, but perhaps they will gain immeasurable rewards if they try their best to promote superstars like Qin Tao.

and so.

Even though Stern doesn't know what Qin Tao is going to do for the time being, but through understanding him this season, this kid doesn't seem like a big talker.

Afterwards, the two smiled and took a group photo, and held a media meeting that almost prevented Morey and the others from coming to the stage. Qin Tao and Zarya took the trophy and sat in a private reception room.

David Stern and Adam Silver watched them come in with a smile, and they didn't speak until the door was closed.

First up is Vice President Adam Silver.

"Mr. Qin Tao, your rookie season is simply a dream, an astonishing phenomenon that I haven't seen in decades."

Come up and blow?

Qin Tao and Zarya knew it well, and Qin Tao immediately smiled and said, "I may have better talent, and it seems that Lady Luck is not far away."

The words of humility and self-confidence made Adam Silver very satisfied.

Young people should have their own personality, overly modest and reserved, but it is not suitable for some occasions and countries.

This is America, so they tout individual heroism even more.

People who are too humble and reserved are not in line with the positioning of Stern and Xiao Hua as the top cards.

That's right.

After a season of inspection, Qin Tao fully met their expectations.

And after a large number of super giants such as O'Neal retired, they once stood at the top of the pyramid, and even Kobe, who was established as the No. 1 in the league, has also entered the end of his career.

They desperately need more stars besides LeBron James, and are more eager to establish a new league image with stars with great influence.

So when there was a misunderstanding between Qin Tao and Eminem, and then a little diplomacy was involved, they thought of Qin Tao at that time.

What's more, since Yao Ming reluctantly announced his retirement, their influence in Asia has been declining in a visible way.

If they still can't establish another player that is beneficial to their expansion, it may not be enough for them to maintain the status quo just by relying on Yao Ming's plate left to the Rockets.

Previously.

After the collapse of Qin Tao and the Rockets, they have started to moisten things silently.

The first is the All-Star voting.

This thing is said to be the result of a referendum, but anyone who understands it knows that there is something tricky hidden in it.

of course.

Qin Tao did not disappoint them either, and even exceeded their expectations geometrically.

In the end, he was selected as an All-Star in his rookie season. Of course, there are his own efforts and achievements, but their operation is also very critical.

The arrival of those individual awards will undoubtedly give Qin Tao as much gold as possible.

If it weren't for the fact that the Spurs are a veteran team, Stern really had the idea of ​​​​manipulating it.

nowadays.

When the kid gets all the honors he can get, it's time for him to contribute.

Besides, Stern chose Qin Tao for another purpose, he is not young anymore.

If he continued to stay on that chair, let alone what the outside world would think, his energy would not be able to complete the increasingly heavy workload.

So leaving a good start for his successor has become one of the most important things before he leaves office.

And the successor he chooses doesn't need to think too much, it is naturally Adam Silver who has followed him for many years and has shown impressive abilities.

Staring at the calm and composed Qin Tao, David Stern suppressed these thoughts, tried his best to use a gentle tone, and tactfully asked a question that was somewhat sensitive to Qin Tao.

"Son. You may still be a little uncomfortable with the American life, but it's not a big problem to integrate into it."

"Is it difficult, do you think we can give you some help?"

Qin Tao's and Qin Tao's ears were quite different from the sharp questioning.

Qin Tao is still innocent, he just thinks that the old man cares about him.

Zarya didn't think so.

As Qin Tao's agent, she has been exposed to a lot of business conversations at home since she was a child, which made her understand Stern's meaning after a little meditation.

There is a problem between Qin Tao and the Rockets, which is almost known to the outside world.

Although they haven't made it clear that they want to break up with the Rockets, judging from the results of the meeting between the two parties, there are already signs of this.

And Stern asked this question entirely because of this kind of thing.

First of all, he said that it is difficult to integrate into American life, which is nothing more than pointing out the problems between them and the Rockets.

The next thing is to want to be a peacemaker. With the Rockets having a strong Chinese factor, Qin Tao will continue to settle down and will continue to continue these feelings.

At last.

Stern said that he can provide them with any help, which is a great respect for Qin Tao.

The meaning is also self-evident, as long as you make your own decision, they will definitely choose to support it.

Thinking of so many problems, Zarya also had some difficulties.

If Stern is told directly that they will not renew their contract with the Rockets, and they will most likely choose to leave this summer, then without a suitable goal, they may do bad things with good intentions.

of course.

Maybe they also have a suitable "spare tire" in their hearts, but at that time, no one will like the feeling of being "at the mercy of others".

Besides, they will never allow themselves to be treated as puppets by others!
