In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 82 The Christmas War Full of Foreplay

Stu Jackson's analysis can really be described as a fatal blow. Xiao Hua couldn't say a word when he was stunned. As a mature business league in the NBA, everything is aligned with money. Hooligan retires, the NBA is not as hot as it was a few years ago, and there seems to be no major problem with a non-mainstream player like Zhang Tian.

Before Stern went to praise Hill, he hoped that the latter could attract the upper and middle social elites of the United States to watch the arena. After all, there are still many low-energy players in the NBA circle. There are only a handful of them.

This season, Hill can contribute 25+6+5 data per game on average, reaching the peak of his career, but the attendance rate of the Palace of Auburn Hills is still there. Although Detroit is considered a big city in the East, this Motor City We are not many years away from bankruptcy.

So Hill's style of play certainly attracts fans, but those who watch him are basically people who like basketball. Non-basketball fans still prefer to watch NFL and NHL games.

There is nothing wrong with Stu Jackson's words. The Pacers' ticket revenue for these two games has indeed increased a lot. This is directly related to Zhang Tian, ​​because most of the fans who watch the game are female fans, and The most difficult thing for the NBA to absorb is the attention of female fans.

Although each of these players is not short of money, most of them can only think with their lower body, and they will be useless without basketball.

"Stu's analysis is very reasonable. However, it is impossible for Zhang to surpass Grant or Vince in the number of votes. You should look at it and let him enter the All-Star this year, but the number of votes must be among those two. one."

Although Iverson has a tendency to take the lead this season, there is a fat man with more firepower than him, and that fat man is wearing the number 34 of the Lakers.Therefore, although Iverson leads the number of votes for guards in the Eastern Conference, it is not safe, and those behind are ready to catch up at any time.

Zhang Tian was naturally unaware of the battles within the NBA, he spent Christmas with Lu Wanwan instead of training.Of course they weren't the only ones, Zhao Xuan came from Palo Alto to meet up with Caroline Moss, but judging from Zhao Xuan's rippling temperament, this guy would definitely not be in Stanford. Guard yourself like jade.

"Hey, I didn't expect that my cousin's tree would have a cycad tree blooming one day. By the way, where did you get that piece of music? I don't believe that people who don't even know the staff can create piano music."

Zhao Xuan came up to expose the opponent's old background, and he was not worried that Zhang Tian would overturn the table, but Zhang Tian was very calm, "I didn't say that I created it by myself, didn't I say that this song was written by a domestic singer named Shi Jin Why don’t you believe it was created by man.”

Yu Zhixuan also came today, but unlike Lu Wanwan and Caroline Moss, she was alone, and among the five people, she was the brightest light bulb.

In Zhang Tian's apartment, Lu Wanwan cooked a few dishes, all based on the recipes formulated by Caroline Moss. Seeing this, Zhao Xuan looked like he had picked up dozens of catties of lemons.

"Your life is really good enough. Either you don't fall in love, and the quality of the relationship is so high. I have made so many girlfriends since I was a child. The appearance is similar to Elizabeth. She has no cooking skills and can cook. The appearance is not good, so is this the legendary blessing for a fool?"

Although the dish is made according to Zhang Tian's nutritious meal recipe, Zhao Xuan, a foodie, still plans to try it.

"Well, the taste is good. This cooking skill is good. Xiaotian really used up all his luck when he met you."

Lu Wanwan is really just like her name, gentle and intellectual. Although she grew up in the United States, the education she received was not all Western-style. This is what Zhang Tian admires the most.

Because the other party is not a female man like Yu Zhixuan, no matter how good-looking a creature like a female man is, it is difficult for ordinary males to flirt, and if not done, it will leave a psychological shadow.

As Zhang Tian's popularity soared day by day, the sponsors of sneakers flocked to him again, and the two giants of Nike and Adidas were still the first to bear the brunt.

Compared with the first quotation, their quotation has obviously improved a lot, but because of Zhang Tian's reminder, Rich Paul knows that these two companies are just tools responsible for the price, but this kind of thing cannot be seen through.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, Zhang, I have already said that before the end of this season, he will not choose a sneaker brand."

Although Rich Paul didn't know why Zhang Tian did this, judging from the fact that the other party hired a private team without participating in the draft, this employer is quite rich. There may be no successors to the African royal family. The generations are rich, but they must be much better off than the average NBA rookie family.

"We are very sincere, you know, Nike is currently the world's number one sports brand..."

"The number one sports brand, have you forgotten Adidas?"

…………

At the negotiating table, as soon as Rich Paul finished speaking, the two speakers from Nike and Adidas began to spat at each other. Several other brands stared at each other, not knowing what to say. The two giants are not dumping, so I better not join in the fun.

Four days passed in a blink of an eye. The two Christmas games between the Knicks Pacers and the Spurs Lakers were full of highlights. First, the Pacers played against the Knicks at home around 12 o'clock.

These four teams all had grievances in the playoffs last season. Among them, the Spurs and Knicks were the final winners, and the Lakers and Pacers were the ones who were defeated.

This Christmas game, the two teams with the same jersey color are playing the role of Avengers.Who will have the last laugh, no one knows.

In the match between the Pacers and the Knicks, Sprewell used his arrogant personality to attract a wave of attention before it started. Unfortunately, these attentions did not translate into the support of the fans. His sequence of forwards in the Eastern Conference However, it is still ranked fourth. Unless the head coach of the All-Stars personally chooses this position, otherwise there is no chance to be in the All-Stars.

Therefore, the dialogue with the Pacers in this field is an opportunity for the madman to prove himself. It is a pity that the person facing Zhang Tian is Kurt Thomas, and his opponent is Mark Jackson. The former Knicks general, Charlie Wall De, Van Gundy's godson, has fallen into a crisis of confidence this season. As an older rookie who relies on his body to play, this season in the Knicks is the most difficult period for Charlie Ward.He was abandoned by his godfather Xiao Fan.
