NBA backer king

Chapter 115 Ready to Throw a Party
Barkley scored 21 points and 14 rebounds, won the best of the game, and accepted a live interview.

"Charles, what's your opinion on Old K's performance tonight?" the reporter asked.

"Oh……"

Barkley let out an exaggerated cry, and then said with a smile: "The rookie behaved like a superstar, he got everything done, haha!"

"You don't mind him stealing your limelight? In fact, his performance tonight is more eye-catching than yours." The reporter asked.

"NONONO..."

Barkley shook his head and said with a smile: "I only hope that he is stronger. I need his help. I must make a difference in the playoffs this year. This is inseparable from old K. He is a good rookie."

"Did you know he has a new nickname?" asked the reporter.

"What's your new nickname?" Barkley asked with interest.

"The two commentators at ESPN called it 'Caesar the Conqueror' after K knocked down three defenders at the rim. What do you think of that nickname? "The reporter said.

"Oh! Caesar the Conqueror? This nickname is so cool, I want it too!" Buckley was drooling.

"Caesar the Conqueror?"

Not far away, Dan Marley, who was talking to a staff member, heard it, and hurried to Old Wang and shouted, "Did you hear, old K, they call you Caesar the Conqueror now?"

"Caesar the Conqueror?"

Comrade Wang, who didn't like learning since he was a child, felt a little familiar, as if he had never heard the name Caesar before, it should be a personal name, right?He doesn't remember much.

"Old K, what do you think? Do you like it?"

Kevin Johnson next to him poked Lao Wang's shoulder with his elbow and asked with a smile.

"Not bad, let them call it." Comrade Wang said with a smile.

At this time, Barkley finished the interview, and everyone chatted and laughed while leaving the court.

An hour later, Wang Tiejun, Barkley and Kevin Johnson attended the press conference together.

His performance today was indeed shocking. The reporter who asked the first question asked him on the head and asked, "Old K, how much do you think the league will fine you?"

"Haha..." There was a burst of laughter in the hall.

Lao Wang scratched his head and said unhappily: "Can I blame this? It's a quality problem. The league should reward me instead of fine, because I tested the quality of the equipment for them."

"Ha ha……"

There was another burst of laughter in the hall.

"If you don't want old K to smash the basket again, then I have a good proposal."

Buckley grabbed the microphone in front of him and interjected with a smile: "If I were the supplier company of the equipment, I would immediately ask Old K to be the endorser, otherwise he will do the same thing next time."

"Haha..." Laughter rang out three times in the hall.

"Coach Westphal, we played to the last second to win the game tonight, but based on the analysis of the lineups of both sides, our Suns lineup is obviously stronger, because we have two people who need to double-team in the low post. What do you think went wrong?"

The second question was from team reporter Hammers Larry. He asked a rather sharp question, pointing directly at the coaching ability of the head coach.

Indeed, as he said, it was very difficult to win tonight. Although the Sonics' record this season was only behind the Suns, the Suns clearly had an advantage in the interior lineup of both sides, and the result was that they almost lost the game. There must be a reason for this.

After organizing the language, Westphal said: "Sometimes, there are ups and downs in the performance of strength. Today, the perimeter efficiency of both sides is not high enough, because the perimeter defense is very strong. Neither of our scores broke [-], and they were about [-] points lower than the average points per game. This is the proof.

And the Sonics are definitely a strong team. The combination of Payton and Sean Kemp is very strong on both ends of the offense and defense. Tonight, Payton defended the [-]st position very successfully.When they were on the fast break, we couldn't keep up with the rhythm inside, so we were a little passive.

But overall, I also think we are stronger, and I believe the next game, we will win more easily."

After all, he is not confident that he can win the Supersonics more easily, because winning or losing a game really cannot be determined by comparing strengths on paper.

Tonight, the Suns didn't take advantage of the rebounds. Instead, they made five more turnovers, six fewer fast breaks, and three percentage points lower shooting percentage. It's really good to win.

He believes that the best player tonight is not Barkley, the best player in the game, but Old K. If it is not for Old K's high efficiency, he will lose tonight.

After playing the Sonics, the Suns returned to Phoenix the next day.

On this day, Lao Wang's photos made headlines on the front pages of many sports media in the United States.

The photos they choose are also different. Some are the shot of him collapsing the basket, and some are the shot of him knocking down three defenders and finally watching the whole court.

At the same time, these media adopted the nickname of Caesar the Conqueror shouted out by two ESPN commentators.

At 2:14 noon on February [-]th, the Suns bus returned to the training base.

"Old K, come to visit your house tomorrow?" Barkley shouted.

There are still two games before the All-Star Game. The next game is the Pistons at home on the 17th, and the Magic at home in the last game. There are no training sessions scheduled for today and tomorrow, so he wants to take time to see how Lao Wang practices Tieshanka.

As soon as he said that, the others ran over, clamoring to go together.

"That's fine, I'll arrange one, so what kind of party is it? Let's all go to my house to play." Old Wang laughed.

During this period of time, he also attended several parties hosted by Barkley and the others. He thought it was good, there was food and drink, and it would be even better if he matched with a girl.

"OK, that's it."

"Take the initiative to arrange the party, old K is generous this time."

"Scrooge is good this time."

"Did he arrange this on his own initiative? It was obviously Charles who offered to go."

"Yes, old K has always only attended our parties. He eats and drinks as soon as he arrives at the party, and never takes the initiative to arrange his own party."

Everyone was happy and praised Lao Wang by the way.

Lao Wang's face is getting darker and darker, is this a compliment to me?Is this criticizing me?

Everyone chatted for a while and went home.

"Old K, you come to the headquarters."

Lao Wang's car had just driven out of the base when Colangelo's call rang to his mobile phone.

"Sir, what's the matter?" He asked after the meeting.

Colangelo smiled and said, "Old K, you performed well yesterday."

"Thank you, I think I played well too." Old Wang said with a smile.

Colangelo laughed, nodded and said: "The first news, I got the news, this year's All-Star, your country's CCTV will send reporters to conduct live interviews, and the All-Star game will also be broadcast live."

"Really?"

Wang Tiejun was very happy.

Not being able to participate in the All-Star, he has nothing to be depressed about.

At the center position in the Western Conference, David Robinson is the starter and Dameng is the substitute. He is a rookie who has just entered the league and played for more than a month. How can he be eligible to participate?So from the beginning, he didn't pay much attention.

Except for Barkley as the starting forward for the Suns, only Dan Marley is a substitute, and Kevin Johnson was not selected.

However, CCTV will broadcast the All-Star live broadcast this year, and maybe there will be more live broadcasts in the future. One day, he will have the opportunity to appear on domestic TV. Thinking about it, I feel very looking forward to it.

"The second news, old K, some local sponsors are looking for you." Colangelo said with a smile.

"Really?"

Lao Wang suddenly smiled.

"That's pretty fast, after all, you've only been playing for more than a month." Colangelo laughed.

Then he handed a stack of materials to Lao Wang, a total of five companies, all of which are local companies in Phoenix, and said: "Old K, you really need an agent, I don't want your energy to be involved in this area, and you don't understand these things."

"Okay, sir, please give me a list of those managers as well." Old Wang smiled.

"Already prepared."

Colangelo then handed him a list of agents who had contacted Lao Wang.

Before Lao Wang left, he invited Mr. Colangelo to tomorrow's party, and the latter readily accepted the invitation.

When I got home, I saw Zhang Lili was moving, that is, two bags, carrying one on his back, looking pitiful.

"Tie Jun, I have already rented the house. It is not far from here, only about 1000 meters away. It is shared with others. I will not move now. If you need to call me in the future, I will leave the number on the table. The public phone in the house." Lao Zhang said.

"Okay, then you can go." Old Wang said.

Lao Zhang said angrily: "You didn't say send me?"

Lao Wang laughed and said, "It's a few steps away, what can I give you? You can go in my car and return it to me when it's over."

"Then I might as well walk by myself." Old Zhang said helplessly.

"Brother Zhang, sit down, why are you in a hurry, let's talk first, you go after eating." Lao Wang said with a smile.

"That is to say, let me cook for you before leaving." Lao Zhang said angrily.

"Do you know, Brother Zhang, this time the All-Stars will be broadcast live on CCTV, and there will be reporters and film crews coming to the United States for interviews," Wang Tiejun said.

"Really?"

Lao Zhang said happily: "Then this is the first time, Stern went to CCTV to promote the NBA in 89, and it finally had some effect.

By the way, Tie Jun, you will also go to Utah when the time comes, and let CCTV interview you. "

"Do they know me?" he asked expectantly.

After thinking for a while, Lao Zhang said: "There are very few domestic media paying attention to professional sports in the United States. I guess no one knows about it."

Lao Wang thought for a while and asked, "Will they be afraid of my experience in China?"

Old Zhang was stunned, and smiled wryly: "This may be, if they know."

Wang Tiejun became silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Lili looked at him and didn't say a word. After 2 minutes, he opened his mouth and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to go."

Now he has figured it out. After the accident, everyone in the village pointed at him, and both the provincial team and the national youth team fired him. How could the national team still want him?

Political trial, the most difficult hurdle for young people in the village when they become soldiers, let alone a year in prison, you have been charged in the court, and your ancestors are landlords, so don't think about anything else.

He didn't think about this before, it's not that he didn't know, it's just that he had some fantasies. Now that it's been so long, he has given up, and he can't pass the political trial.

"Don't, go show your face." Old Zhang said anxiously.

"Show me, is it possible for me to enter the national team in the future? Don't fool me, don't go!" Old Wang lay on the sofa with his legs stacked.

Lao Zhang opened his mouth, so you kid understands, so why should I say fart?

He sighed: "Tie Jun, after the case is overturned, you can do it."

Lao Wang thought for a while, and suddenly remembered what the two people who came here for the review to apply for a gun license had said that day. He asked, "Brother Zhang, what does it mean to accrue the benefit of doubt to the defendant?"

Old Zhang was stunned, and explained: "I really understand this, that is, if there is any doubt during a lawsuit, it will benefit the defendant."

"Brother Zhang, please keep it simple." Old Wang said urgently.

Lao Zhang smiled and said, "When you encounter a situation that cannot be clarified, the judgment will be based on the principle in favor of the defendant. You will not have any third-party witnesses in your case, and you will not be able to find that woman. If you have this principle, you will not be found guilty."

At this time, he also understood why Wang Tiejun asked this question.

Unfortunately, there is no such legal principle in China.

However, if there is this legal principle in the country in the future, Tie Jun's case may have a chance to be overturned, but it will take many years.

"bell!"

At this time, the landline next to him rang.

"Hello."

Lao Wang picked up the microphone conveniently.

Upon hearing this, it turned out that the FBI informed him that his gun license had been approved.

"My God, how did they pass your gun license review?" Lao Zhang asked in surprise.

"They know I'm a good person, so why can't they pass?" Old Wang said angrily.

"Yes yes yes yes..." Lao Zhang nodded quickly, the employer cannot offend.

"The gun certificate will be mailed in two days, and then we will go buy a gun and have a good time." After rubbing his hands, Old Wang said with a smile.

"Okay!" Lao Zhang laughed.

He picked up a stack of contracts that Lao Wang threw on the sofa and flipped through them, and said in surprise, "Hey, Tie Jun, are you here to speak for this?"

"Yeah, now I'm a little famous in the local area." Old Wang said triumphantly.

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Another rack has collapsed, it was just replaced by the league, you have become famous not only locally, but all over the United States.

It's just that you are Chinese after all, and your commercial value in the United States is very low, so it should be difficult to get big brands. "

After doing some calculations, he said again: "Five contracts add up to 60 US dollars a year in endorsement fees, which is not low. It's several million yuan. When do you plan to sign it?"

"Mr. Colangelo suggested that I hire an agent, and I plan to hire one too. After all, I don't understand these things." Old Wang said.

Lao Zhang took a look at the manager's list, and said with a smile, "You have to be cautious, not all of them are good people."

"Uh-huh."

Old Wang nodded repeatedly and said, "Poor Barkley just met a liar, and all the wages he earned in the past few years were wasted."

"Yes."

Lao Zhang agreed.

Lao Wang chatted with Lao Zhang, fiddled with his mobile phone, and sent text messages to Roberts.

He even talked about the several endorsement contracts he received. After all, for a poor boy who just crawled out of the sewer, he needs something to improve his status in front of a big star. Although the endorsement contract is small, isn't this a good start?

Within 2 minutes, the cell phone rang. It was Roberts' call. He quickly got up and ran into the room before answering the call.

"Boy, why are you hiding on the phone?"

Lao Zhang grumbled and wanted to go over and listen to the corner, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Wang Tiejun chatted with Roberts, and the latter said: "Old K, you said you want to sign an agent, do you want to listen to my advice?"

"You said."

"I signed an innovative elite cultural agency company, which is the largest industry company in Hollywood. It is also involved in the sports business and has an NBA license. I suggest you come to innovate."

"Hollywood company?" Old Wang was taken aback.

"Yes, you are Chinese. If you choose a pure NBA agent, your commercial value in Asia and China cannot be really developed, but innovation can." Roberts said.

"really?"

This is what interests the old man the most.

Roberts added: "Innovation has business in Japan, but as far as I know, it has not yet done business in mainland China.

If you join Innovation, you are the first player from China to join the NBA, the company will definitely build an agent team for you, and even start business in mainland China..."

The two chatted for a long time before ending the call. Lao Wang did not make an immediate decision, and Roberts also needed to communicate with the company.

On Lao Wang's side, he was actually tempted.

If Innovation can really develop business in China, he is willing to do just that.

For Roberts, although Innovation also has a sports agency business, and several agents have NBA agent qualification certificates, they have not signed NBA players. There is still some work to do to sign Lao Wang.

After hanging up the phone, Lao Wang took Lao Zhang out and drove Lao Zhang to his new home.

It is indeed very close. It takes a few words to get there by car. It is estimated to be less than 1000 meters, at most about 700 meters, the distance of two streets.

After letting Lao Zhang put down his luggage, he dragged him to the supermarket to prepare for tomorrow's party.

When I came to the supermarket, I was greeted by some onlookers. The staff and some customers came to say hello, but fortunately there were not many people.

"Let's get more crayfish. We have Chinese flavors. I don't like the American way of eating them very much." Lao Zhang shouted.

"Okay, you can decide what kind of food you want." Lao Wang knows a lot, since he was young, he only knew to eat ready-made dishes.
