NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1375 Part-time job?

Their meeting had been found by the media, and when they left the hotel after the meeting, they were blocked outside the hotel by the media.

"Hammer, are you going to join the New York Jets?"

"Hammer, you don't enter the NFL through the draft, is this unfair to other rookies?"

"Johnson, have the Hammers decided to join your team?"

"Hammer, are you sure you can fit in the NFL?"

"Hammer, you don't have a football foundation, do you think you're going to be successful in the NFL? What if you don't?"

The excited media immediately threw out various questions.

"Sorry, this is just an informal meeting." Goodell declined to disclose any information.

It's not that he doesn't want to use this news to expand the influence of Li Ba's joining the NFL, it's just to whet the appetite of the media.

After leaving the hotel and returning to the hotel where he stayed, Li Ba called Gao Yuanyuan to explain the situation, because the follow-up negotiations required Gao Yuanyuan's team to follow up.

"A sponsorship contract of [-] million US dollars in five years? You can make a lot of money again." Gao Yuanyuan teased.

"Can I still make Adi lose money?" Li Ba laughed.

"Of course not, you continue to maintain influence in the sports world, even if Adidas is not involved in rugby, it is equally beneficial in the field of basketball, tennis and boxing." Gao Yuanyuan said.

"How old is your son? At the end of August, then I may not have time to go back to China." Li Ba said.

"It's ok……"

The two chatted for a while and ended the phone call.

At this time Bill Duffy called and said that he had contacted the real estate agent and went to see the villa for Li Ba, and then told him that the media was now hyping the news that he joined the NFL and the Jets.

Li Ba turned on his mobile phone and browsed it. It was indeed very popular.

Not only the United States, but all major media in the world are hyping it up, including domestically.

The title of an article in a domestic media is: "Iron Hammer joins NFL, is this a lion's intrusion, or is it a tiger's fall?"

Li Ba took a look at it. Most of the media didn't like him in the NFL.

Jordan accepted a telephone interview from the media and said: "The Hammer's physical condition is good. Even in the NFL, he is the top in some positions, but this does not mean that he can succeed, because he has no football at all. technology."

At the same time, the media also interviewed NFL superstar Peyton Manning.

At the age of 36, Peyton Manning is the top quarterback in the NFL and the winner of the Super Bowl MVP. Last year, he signed a maximum salary contract with the Denver Broncos for 5 years and 9600 million US dollars. He is a famous American football superstar.

He was born in a football family, and his father and younger brother were both NFL players. He was given up by the Colts in 2011 because of neck surgery, and then joined the Broncos with a maximum salary.

When the media interviewed the matter, he said: "The hammer joined the NFL, I think his decision may be a bit too hasty.

Of course, I know that in addition to basketball, he has also achieved very good results in boxing and tennis, but after all, he is 31 years old and has no football foundation. It is very difficult to start again. I think he needs to start again. Consider this question. "

In addition to them, there are many basketball and football superstars who have expressed their views on this matter.

Basically, few people thought that Li Ba would achieve results in this sport.

The reason is, as Jordan and Manning said, time is not forgiving, NFL is the most confrontational ball game in the world, and Li Ba has no foundation, so the possibility of success is too small.

The same is true for the media. They don't think Li Ba will be successful, and think this is a bad decision.

However, Li Ba and the NFL did not stop, and the follow-up contract negotiations were steadily advancing. By the 24th, they could already sign a contract.

"Tie Hammer, are you really going to the NFL?" Dayao called.

"Can this be false? Have you returned to China?" Li Ba asked.

"No, now the Celtics want to trade me, and Yuanyuan's subordinates want to talk to the team. I don't want to hang around here, or they might buy out my contract."

Dayao said helplessly.

"Then you decide for yourself. With your current state, the contract is a bit big, and it's hard to take over." Li Ba said.

Dayao's condition has declined a bit. He is 33 years old. For a big center like him, his body can no longer bear the amount of exercise in the NBA, and his feet and knees are getting more and more worn. It is time to end his career.

On the 26th, the date of the NBA draft in 2013, and Goodell also chose this day as the day when the New York Jets and Li Ba signed.

The NFL and Adidas came forward and invited dozens of world mainstream media to participate in the signing ceremony.

Naturally, CCTV was also invited to participate, but it was a bit difficult to choose candidates, because CCTV had never broadcast a rugby game before, and there was no commentator in this area, so it could only send an interview team to deal with it first.

And CCTV also immediately held a director-level meeting, and the topic was whether CCTV should broadcast NFL games and whether to reduce NBA broadcast rules.

"Hammer, I'm here to cheer you on."

Before signing the contract, when leaving the hotel, Marbury appeared in front of Li Ba.

"Then let's go together." Li Ba smiled.

"You are amazing. The NBA is no longer playing, tennis and boxing are no longer playing, and now you are playing in the NFL. Which sport do you want to play in the future?"

cried Marbury.

"Look, this is the only thing I've been playing in recent years. I won't leave unless I make a name for myself." Li Ba laughed.

"Are you really confident?" Marbury said in surprise.

"That's right, let me tell you, I won't really retire until I'm 50," Li Ba said with a smile.

"Blow it." Marbury said angrily.

On this day, Li Ba completed the signing ceremony in New York, and got a rookie contract from the Jets, 4 million U.S. dollars in four years, including a signing bonus of 6250 million U.S. dollars. The real salary is only 5000 million U.S. dollars, 1250 million a year. A little more dollars.

The signing bonus must have surprised the media, but considering Li Ba's status in the sports world, it was nothing special, but the sponsorship contract signed with Adidas later surprised the media.

In the media interview session after signing the contract, Li Ba found many familiar faces, and many reporters from the NBA appeared here.

"Hammer, what kind of performance do you think you can play in the NFL?" The first person to be named was an ABS reporter.

"It's a sport I don't have much exposure to and I try to do well here."

Li Ba said it very modestly. This is no better than the NBA. He has never played football, so he can't talk big.

"How much confidence do you have?" the reporter asked.

"I believe that in certain positions, I can eventually achieve the performance of a superstar." Li Ba said modestly, and he would definitely not be humble in the second sentence.

"Oh!"

On a completely unfamiliar project, these words were almost brazen, and there was some commotion in the media, and some exclamations sounded.

"Some? Hammer, do you want a part-time job?" The reporter asked sharply.

"Perhaps." Li Ba smiled.
