Vol 2 Chapter 444: Crazy Basketball Association

Chapter 444 Crazy Basketball Association

On April 23, 2002, Yao Ming was "injured", before he was about to participate in the NBA draft. The news came out and the whole country was shocked. All basketball fans can't believe this fact. China's Yao Ming, the top pick this year, was actually injured. All the media immediately rushed to the Shanghai Oriental Sharks Club to interview head coach Li Qiuping and general manager Lu Hao, asking Yao Ming’s injury, whether it would affect his NBA draft and whether it would threaten his career.

Faced with reporters’ questions, both Li Qiuping, the head coach of Shanghai Oriental Sharks and Lu Hao, the general manager, were vague. They only said that Yao Ming had a slight fracture in his left ankle during a routine inspection after the cba finals, which was an old injury. , It only takes a period of training, it will not affect Yao Ming's future in the NBA, let alone his career, but I am afraid this Asian Games will be choking.

After hearing that it will not affect Yao Ming's career, all fans are relieved. As for this Asian Games, it is really nothing in the eyes of domestic fans. In Asia, it is not interesting to bully teams that are generally less popular in Asia. No matter how many wins, it is boring to win. If you want to win, you will win the strong European team.

However, the fans breathed a sigh of relief, but the Chinese Basketball Association was nervous to death. At this point, Yao Ming was actually injured, which affected all the plans prepared by the Basketball Association. Judging from Yao Ming's current popularity and market value, it is definitely a hen who only lays golden eggs, and is preparing to start a series of commercial operations around it. Unexpectedly, Yao Ming was injured at this time. And the most important thing is that the Asian Games is about to begin. This time there is no Wang Zhizhi. If there is no Yao Ming, if the men's basketball championship is lost, the faces of these officials will not look good, and it is also related to the future political future.

In desperation, the Chinese Basketball Association sent officials to Shanghai and asked Li Qiuping and Lu Hao, why Yao Ming was injured, and he also came to do Yao Ming's ideological work, hoping that Yao Ming can put national honor as the most important thing, as long as the injury is not too important, he will go to South Korea. Busan wins glory for the country. Faced with this impassioned lobbying by basketball officials, Yao Ming, who originally felt ashamed, felt angry after hearing this.

The two officials who came to lobby, except for a hypocritical question about Yao Ming’s foot injury, the rest of the time was just talking about national honor and so on. They asked Yao Ming to carry forward the fine tradition of revolutionary martyrs not getting under the line of fire, and not just because of a little injury. Not going to Busan to participate in the Asian Games, this made Yao Ming extremely cold. National honor is naturally important, but there is no need to always use the righteousness of the country to suppress others. It seems that if you don’t go to Busan, South Korea to participate in the Asian Games because of a little bit of injury, you will be treason. For the unimportant Asian Games, is it worth the cost of the entire career?

*All said, we have to judge the situation and learn to shift strategically. This time I am "injured" to be able to integrate into the NBA faster, to prove that the Chinese can also gain a foothold in the NBA, and also to lead Chinese basketball to go further in the future. In contrast, is an Asian Games really so important?

Finally, under the noisy lobbying of the Basketball Association officials, Yao Ming directly rejected the mobilization of the two Basketball Association officials with a foot injury. Seeing Yao Ming's refusal so resolutely, the two Basketball Association officials left with a gloomy expression.

"Xiao Ming, you are not so good!" Yao Ming's father Yao Zhiyuan said with a frown. In his heart, he does not approve of Yao Ming's "fraudulent injury" behavior. Although his personal future is important, national honor is even more important, even if it is just an Asian Games champion who has little weight in the world.

"Okay, you old man, you left me when I gave birth to Xiao Ming for a game. Do you know how uncomfortable I was at that time? How much do you want you to be by my side! This time is not the national life or death, men's basketball I've won for more than ten years, so even if I lose once, I'm afraid of anything! Xiao Ming's future is the most important!" Yao Ming's mother Fang Fengdi glared at Yao Zhiyuan and said.

Yao Ming smiled when he saw his parents bickering. However, Lin Feng's foresight in his heart was very admired. When Lin Feng asked Yao Ming to swindle him, he told Yao Ming that the Basketball Association officials would not give up and let him not waver easily, as expected.

At this time, the officials of the Basketball Association who could not lobby Yao Ming, angrily cast all their anger on Shanghai Oriental Sharks coaches Li Qiuping and Lu Hao, scolding them for harming the top star of the Chinese national team Yao Ming for a domestic cba championship. , Scolded the two people for not knowing the priority of things, scolded them for not knowing the severity, and scolded them bloody.

Li Qiuping and Lu Hao were also helpless. Yao Ming was "injured" because they conspired with Lin Feng. When Lin Feng approached them and told them to let Yao Ming go to the United States for training camp ahead of time, the two were shocked. They didn't expect Lin Feng to ask them to conspire to deceive the leaders of the Basketball Association. Especially when I heard that Yao Ming agreed to do so, let alone how wonderful the expressions of the two were. They really couldn't believe that a patriotic person like Yao Ming would listen to Lin Feng and swindle when the Asian Games is about to open.

On the spot, the two threatened that they would never deceive the leaders of the Basketball Association like this, and advised Lin Feng not to mess around and teach Yao Ming not to be bad. But when they heard that Lin Feng's wish was for the Chinese men's basketball team to win the Olympic gold medal, the two were completely moved.

For the future of Yao Ming and the future of the Chinese basketball team, it is nothing to sacrifice an Asian Games. Moreover, the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team lies here. Without Yao Ming, the Chinese men's basketball team is still the top Asian team.

And Lin Feng’s analysis is correct. Basketball Association officials care about their immediate interests. They only value their performance during their tenure, so that they will be promoted in the future, so any championship they can win must be won. As for the injuries of the players, as long as they can't die. If Yao Ming participates in all national team games, sooner or later, he will be exhausted, but there is only one talent like Yao Ming in the Chinese basketball community, and this loss cannot be afforded.

After repeated weighing, the two agreed to play the scene with Lin Feng.

Of course, what can make the two people nod and agree is the compensation agreement. The agreement stipulates: If the Houston Rockets succeed in picking Yao Ming, Lin Feng will purchase the Shanghai Oriental Shark’s home stadium advertisement at a price of 300 million yuan in 10 years in his own name. With this 300 million capital guarantee and other income, Shanghai Oriental can at least operate normally in the next ten years. As the club's coach and general manager, this compensation agreement is really important.

The two Basketball Association officials were still in the office of the general manager of the Shanghai Oriental Sharks Club, akimbo. Li Qiuping looked at the time. It has been 1 hour and 45 minutes, but the two officials still cursed constantly, and they didn’t. A repetitive sentence is really admirable.

"Uh, Director Yang, in fact, the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is the only one in Asia. This time Yao Ming was injured, just to exercise Tang Zhengdong and other young people, and if you are worried about losing the championship, you can call Wang Zhizhi back. He is here, the champion is not worried." Li Qiuping said. Some senior coaches in the basketball world are aware of Wang Zhizhi and the basketball association’s bad things. This is why when Wang Zhizhi and the basketball association are so uncomfortable, Bayi’s coaching team is still in contact with Wang Zhizhi to help him clear up and down. the reason. Li Qiuping also wanted to take this opportunity to help Wang Zhizhi.

However, Wang Zhizhi's 50% of his personal salary will not make up for the shortfall. It will be difficult to return to China!

"What! You actually mentioned Wang Zhizhi that traitor to me, even if this kind of person begs for mercy in a low voice, don't even think about returning to the national team! His behavior of forgetting his ancestors is absolutely not to be taken lightly!" The two basketball officials seemed to have been stepped on. Like a dog's tail, he jumped up and shouted.

Li Qiuping sneered in his heart and stopped talking. Yao Ming would definitely not be able to go to the Asian Games anyway. You have to scold him, despite scolding, he is used to it anyway.

In the face of facts, no matter how much scolding, apart from venting the anger in the heart, there can be no change to the facts.

In the end, the basketball officials had no choice but to return to Beijing, and soon a press conference was held to announce the fact that Yao Ming will be absent from the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea. In the press conference, he always criticized certain domestic coaches for a little personal honor. The narrow mindset of disregarding national interests and calling on other cba coaches to put the overall situation first when facing major international competitions.

These remarks caused a while of contempt by the domestic cba coach. If this is the case, how can the league be played every four years in the Asian Games, the Olympic Games every four years, the World Basketball Championship is also every four years, the Asian Basketball Championship is also every two years, and what other Stankovic Cups are there? After they come down, these cba teams won't play, they will rest at home and wait for the international games.

Lin Feng looked at the madness of the Basketball Association officials for a while. He had already seen that these Basketball Association officials were not pleasing to the eye, and they were all in the eyes of money. For his own political achievements, he treated the players improperly and took the country's righteousness at every turn. Come to press people, damn, what!

However, Lin Feng made Yao Ming "fraud" this time, which is not only beneficial to him, but also has an immeasurable impact on his future NBA career. Yao Ming can now have plenty of time to rest and train. His foot injuries and back injuries can be alleviated, and his injuries will probably be greatly eased in the future. Moreover, the improvement of his personal strength will definitely be beneficial to the Chinese national basketball team in the long run. Has an immeasurable effect.

From Lin Feng's point of view, although he has invested 300 million yuan in the next ten years, it has been exchanged for Yao Ming's friendship. After the cba finals, after Yao Ming finalized his agent team-Yao Zhi, he first signed a contract with Lin Feng, and to Lin Feng's surprise, Yao Ming took the initiative to lower the endorsement fee and increase the contract. Years.

The endorsement fee is 3 million per year, the contract period is ten years, and there is no price increase during the period. This contract, from the perspective of Zhang Mingji, who has just become the main agent in charge of Yao Ming's agent team, is an incredible behavior, which is too stupid. When he questioned Zhang Mingji, he even offered to help him sign a new contract that was more in line with his worth, but Yao Ming directly rejected it.

"Brother Zhang, I compensated Lin Dong voluntarily for this contract. Originally, according to NBA rules, Lin Dong could not compensate the Shanghai Oriental Shark with 300 million yuan. This is what I owe him." Yao Ming said with gratitude. For the Basketball Association, Yao Ming is very upset. But for the Shanghai Oriental Shark Club, Yao Ming is full of affection. This time, Lin Fengneng used 300 million yuan to sponsor it. Yao Ming believes that after he leaves the Shanghai Oriental Sharks, the first basketball team he played for will not collapse.

"You don't have to sign for 10 years. It's too long. Once you play in the NBA in the future, your value will increase more than 10 times than it is now." Zhang Mingji felt that the most exaggerated aspect of this contract was the 10-year period.

"Hehe, if I only sign for 3 years, it would also show that I am too insincere, and I will feel guilty. 10 years of signing, maybe longer, but what if I can't make a deal in the future?" Yao Ming explained with a smile. Of course, this is just what Yao Ming said casually. Ten years of signing a contract is also a pressure on Yao Ming. He definitely wants to make a name in the NBA to return Lin Feng's respect.

Zhang Mingji saw that he could not persuade Yao Ming, but fortunately this was only a contract, and signing the "Second World" was not a loss. At least behind the "Second World" was Lin Feng, the richest man in the country, and Yao Ming had a good relationship with him. One point, it will always be good for the future.

Lin Feng smiled knowingly for Yao Ming's generosity. Yao Ming is the same as Liu Xiang. Although the personality is more reserved and the other is more public, they are both very loyal people. These two people are worthy of friendship. Besides, the glory of China's future depends on the two of them.

During this period of time, Lin Feng also took the opportunity to dig a professional nutritionist, a professional physiotherapist, and a sports injury* physician from the United States. All three of them came from various backgrounds. They were all 110 meters hurdles in the world. Those who have served by the champion, such as Alan Johnson and Trammel, are all famous players in the 110-meter hurdles. With the experience of serving by their side, Lin Feng believes that the three professional doctors will better serve Liu Xiang.

Let the light of Asia shine forever!

"Boss, the first supercomputer has been assembled." Bruce Allen called Lin Feng excitedly. With sufficient funds and full authorization, Bruce Allen has given full play to his expertise during this time and assembled a personal DIY supercomputer that is the strongest in history. Although the function is limited by the operating system, it is relatively single, but for For the "Second World", it is completely enough.

6720 Pentium 4 processors with "Hyper-Threading" technology. For the application of "Second World" online games, Bruce Arendt is specially equipped with 10,320 ATI image processing units (equivalent to the graphics card of a normal computer), with a per second 12 trillion operations speed.

Bruce Allen, I believe that in the next supercomputer ranking, he will make this supercomputer named "Mo Wu No. 1" and he will definitely be on the list. Of course, it's just purely in terms of speed.

Lin Feng secretly praised that the first season of the King of Fighters online in mainland China has just ended, and under the promotion of Nishiyama Takashi and Wu Zhaopu, Asian and Southeast Asian countries have also joined the King of Fighters online, taking this opportunity to test the power of supercomputers.
