The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 154 Silva's vision! "Silicon Valley Tycoon" Iguodala!
When Zhang Bolong and Iguodala dressed as Santa Claus appeared next to the auditorium, the fans even thought they were attending a concert for a moment.

Scream, cheer, or... freeze.

Idol stars came to give gifts to me,
Isn't this more powerful than Santa Claus?

Isn't this hotter than a football game?
Seeing the excited fans on the screen, Stern was thoughtful and had some preliminary ideas in his wise mind.

Now that the stars of the concert can interact in the auditorium, can NBA players and fans also strengthen their connection in a similar way?
If you enter the auditorium, it will easily cause confusion and add unstable factors to the game. From a safety point of view, it is not suitable for promotion. However, most things in the world are copied by analogy and copied.

In terms of the stadium, lucky spectators can be randomly selected from the big screen before the game, and they can directly participate in the warm-up and training of the NBA team, and interact with these star players.

Each team and each star with different characteristics can have its own exclusive interaction method.

For example, Zhang Bolong, he can go to the audience before the game and throw a super long three-pointer until he makes it;
Yao Ming and O'Neal were able to pick up children and let them complete the first slam dunk in their lives;
Or, let the fans fight with Kobe and James...

Stern began to plot.

At this moment, Adam Silva asked again:
"President, why don't you watch the game anymore?"

"What's the point of a game where no stars are playing?"

"But it's a pretty good game...well, I mean, can we add some more teams to the Christmas game? Like pick ten teams and play five games."

"Add a team?"

Stern subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Things have become rare and expensive, and two to three games are already the most suitable arrangement for him.

If it is changed to four or five games, which one will the fans go to see?It's okay to separate yourself.

What's more, not all players are willing to play on this day.

In addition to O'Neill who tried to find excuses, Robert Horry also expressed similar views:
"I hate Christmas fights, from the moment my daughter was born I thought Christmas should be spent with the family."

The archenemy of the Lakers, coach Adelman of the Kings also rarely stood on the same front:

"The Christmas game hinders the reunion of players and families. It is really unnecessary to hold the game on this holiday day."

Think about Huaxia, how many people are willing to go to work on New Year's Eve?
It's just that the businessman's instinct has always made David Stern ignore these "negative remarks", and making the "Christmas War" cake bigger and better is what he cares most about.

At least for now, the "Christmas brand" strategy that Stern has worked hard to build has been fruitful.

"We can arrange them according to the time distribution. For example, starting from the afternoon, one game after another, fans will always find a matchup they are interested in, and as there are more games, there will always be a guarantee of exciting quality." Xi Jinping Elva Road.

"What's more, there is no shortage of stars in the league. We try to create a matchup about them, which is also very interesting."

He is not a mediocre person who can be valued and promoted by Stern.

Hearing what Silva said, Stern fell into deep thought.

Indeed, if it's just one or two games, the probability of hitting garbage time will be relatively high.

If everything is the same as today, it will not only smash its own "Christmas Game" sign, I am afraid that the fans will decisively leave the embrace of the NBA.

"I'll think about it, Adam."

……

"Andre, have you considered coming to San Francisco?"

Zhang Bolong asked in a low voice while distributing gifts.

"Are you inviting me to be a guest?"

"No, it's joining the Warriors."

Iguodala was taken aback, "No, I haven't thought about leaving Philadelphia yet."

"There is Silicon Valley here, there are a lot of business opportunities, and I, a person who understands you best."

When Iguodala heard about Silicon Valley, Iguodala was obviously moved.

Because this guy is the most powerful investor in the NBA, not even one!

In Zhang Bolong's previous life, Iguodala, a Silicon Valley tycoon, had invested in no less than [-] companies, and his investment vision was unparalleled.

Among them, in 2020, he spent 7000 million U.S. dollars to buy shares in the "ZOOM" technology company, which made him a wave of nearly 4 million U.S. dollars!

For such smart people, San Francisco with Silicon Valley is undoubtedly a real "golden mountain" with great attraction.

But Iguodala doesn't quite understand why Zhang Bolong said that he is the person who understands himself best.

Looking at Iguodala's eyes, Zhang Bolong explained with a smile:
"You know, a lot of people criticize your lack of shooting consistency, lack of body balance, but in my opinion, you just lack the desire to score.

You're not a real scorer, or even a second-in-command on a team.

But you will be a key part of any team basketball, and your organization and defense are more valuable assets than offense. "

"Maybe, but it's not time to make a decision. I'm fine in Philadelphia. Thank you for the invitation, Dragon."

Iguodala thought for a while, but chose to refuse.

He was indeed moved, because what Zhang Bolong said was exactly what he thought of himself.

When the core is too tired and playing is just a job, why put so much pressure on yourself?
However, the 76ers are in a precarious situation. As an important member of the team, he feels that he has to help the team out of the predicament.

Not to mention, there are two years left on his rookie contract, and the team also regards him as a core training.

The kindness of knowing you, should do your best to repay it!

"Think about it, they will let you be the boss." Zhang Bolong laughed, it seems that being the boss is a terrible thing.

"Well, I'll prove I can't do it."

"Then, I wish you can still be treated tenderly by Philadelphia after you prove it."

After handing out the last gift in his hand, Zhang Bolong hugged the little girl in front of him, and then walked back with Iguodala.

"If not, the door of the Golden State Warriors is always open to you, and we can build a dynasty together."

Iguodala nodded with a smile.

"Dynasty? How can you enjoy doing business..."

Finally, the game is over.

123:99, the gap of more than 20 points can be regarded as the foundation of the 76ers this season.

The Warriors have "opened the floodgates" as much as possible, and almost all five starters were sidelined in the second half.

The best player in the game was won by Monta Ellis, who played the second half and scored 40 points.

The colorful ribbons flying all over the sky and the crystal snowflake sequins adorn the arena beautifully and dreamily.

He secretly poured a bottle of Gatorade on the head of Monta who was being interviewed by the reporter, and Zhang Bolong also quickly slipped back to the locker room.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the locker room, he heard his cell phone ringing.
