Chapter 242 242 Terrifying popularity!China competition starts!
"Fuck!
265 million dollars!
Did I read it wrong!"

"Brother, you are not mistaken!
I counted the zeros several times and they are absolutely right!"

"With 9 billion U.S. dollars in nine years, the value of those players will skyrocket again, right?"

On the Internet, the NBA's newly announced TV contract is like a depth bomb thrown into a calm lake!
The pot exploded directly!
The NBA officially announced through official channels on this day that it has reached a nine-year TV broadcast agreement with ESPN, TNT, ABC, etc.

According to the New York Times, the total value of the agreement is about $265 billion.

In fact, in the previous life, the contract was only 240 billion US dollars!
However, with the outbreak and rise of Zhou Si, more and more Chinese people pay attention to the NBA, watch the NBA, and buy related jerseys and shoes. As a result, the influence of the NBA is much greater than that of the same period!

Therefore, the signed contracts are naturally rising!
For a while, the ESPN preview was left behind by everyone, because the significance of this agreement is too great!
The original TV broadcast agreement will end in the 2015-2016 season. After the new broadcast agreement takes effect, not only the salary cap of the team will rise sharply, but also the salaries of players will also increase.

The increase in the salary cap also means that teams with financial resources can get more star players, and the situation of superstars getting together is very likely to intensify.

In a short period of time, the Big Three and the Big Four are likely to appear more frequently.

At this time, James stepped forward. In an interview, he said that the two-plus-one short contract he signed with the Cavaliers has a lot to do with the new TV broadcast agreement, and it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t sign a long-term contract. long term plan.

Under the current collective bargaining agreement system, player salaries account for approximately 50 percent of total basketball-related income.

With the implementation of the new broadcast contract, the NBA's annual TV revenue will increase by 19.2 billion US dollars, and half of that will be 9.6 million US dollars.

Therefore, after the implementation of the new broadcast agreement, the salaries of all players will be greatly improved.

Based on the salary cap of $6300 million this season, the salary cap will increase significantly to exceed the $9900 million mark in the season when the new collective bargaining agreement takes effect.

Calculated under such a salary cap, by then, James, who has played in the league for more than 10 years, will have a maximum starting salary of more than 3300 million US dollars.

Therefore, after two years, James can choose not to implement the player option, jump out of the contract, and re-sign a new maximum salary contract with the team in the season when the new broadcast contract is fulfilled.

Emmm... As for whether the signing team was the Cavaliers at that time, it is not certain!

The Jamies who have been popularized by science don't care so much, and they all said that my emperor is too wise, and he knows everything in detail!
When there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, the Blazers boarded the plane to China.

President Stern has resigned, but his NBA global promotion plan has not been stranded. Some time ago, because of the TV broadcast contract, Xiao Hua, who had gained a wave of prestige when he took office, was eager to establish his authority. All the actions of the predecessor will not be overturned.

Moreover, the Chinese game is a guaranteed profit, and the Chinese market is also the most important overseas market for the NBA!Xiao Hua, a "businessman", will not easily offend the Chinese even if it is for money!

He even held a special meeting to discuss the next penalty scale for the Trail Blazers.

Zhou Si is now the player Xiao Hua is least willing to provoke in the league.

According to the preseason schedule, Zhou Si and the others will fly to China, play two Chinese games with the Houston Rockets in BJ and Shanghai, and then return to the United States to continue the remaining games.

The Blazers VS the Big Three Rockets, which makes many Chinese fans look forward to this year's China game.

The Blazers with Zhou Si, Yi Jianlian and Ye Ze are the home team of the vast majority of Chinese fans, but there are still many old fans with Rockets Yao Mai plot.

Zhou Si has not yet arrived in China, and the entertainment stars have suspended business again...

Well done, the hot guy is back!
The members of the Chinese national team welcomed Zhou Si to China in various ways.

The Chinese team members who returned to China some time ago received various awards from the country!
Then the rewards of each club also kept up.

This is not over yet, the image of the Chinese men's basketball team and the teenagers has been greatly improved, and various commercial sponsors are coming to him!
It is no exaggeration to say that Chinese male basketball players have become the darlings of the media!

Zhou Si is also very happy to see all this, so that other men's basketball teams and even other athletes will work harder to win glory for the country!

……

After arriving in China, the new players continued to marvel at the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans, while the veterans of the Blazers looked like "I'm used to it".

On October 10th, the BJ Wukesong Basketball Arena, the NBA China Game between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets attracted the attention of all Chinese fans.

Zhou Si is now the undisputed No. [-] traffic in China. Regarding this situation, the programmers of major websites who worked overtime for a few days said that they have a good say.

Tickets for the two games between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets were hard to come by. After all, apart from ordinary fans, entertainment stars who wanted to take advantage of the heat also tried their best to show their faces!
This is more popular than buying popular searches!
"It's crazy popular!"

Ke Fan said with emotion when he saw all the entertainment stars lined up to take a photo with Zhou Si before the game.

Usually, those celebrities have their eyes above the top, but now they are as humble online as their fans?
Zhou Si didn't want to pay attention to those so-called celebrities at first, he was totally indifferent to them.

But he couldn't stand the humble posture of many of the stars, and he felt a little embarrassed.

Forget it, isn't it just to take a photo together, just give them a chance.

However, when Zhou Si met those actresses who were not very revealing but wanted to dawdle, Zhou Si would directly and politely call out the next one.

The piercing eyes of Ye Qin in the front row can be stared at!
When the show came on stage, when the DJ pronounced Zhou Si's name, the audience's cheers soared into the sky!

He is a demon god!
The backbone of the Chinese men's basketball team!

The man who led the Chinese men's basketball team to the top!
"Zhou-S!"

"Zhou-S!"

"Zhou-S!"

Harden: ...

Bosh: ...

Howard: ...

The Big Three of the Rockets felt that the voices of the three of them did not add up to the cheers that Zhou Si received when he played alone.

What a terrifying popularity!
And everyone on the Blazers side has long been used to it, the basics are the basics!
Tencent Sports, Ke Fan happily explained:
"I'm very happy to be able to explain the Demon God's game again so soon, the atmosphere at the scene is really explosive!
According to the head coaches of the two teams before the game, the main players of the two teams will play for a long time today.

We look forward to a wonderful matchup between the two teams today. "

Director Zhang also seemed to be in a good mood,

"Xiao Zhou seems to be in good condition, but I don't know how the Rockets' Big Three will perform today?"

When the Blazers starting lineup was played on the big screen at the scene, the fans at the scene were once again fried.
