American Fortune Life

Chapter 1907: You're a bad old man, bad!

Sock dance.

It's not that Andy's mouth is too poisonous. In fact, because of the deterioration of the overall economic environment, the market-based NBA alliance has experienced unprecedented pressure.

As the nba of the entertainment industry, for ordinary American families, when they are wealthy, they are idle and go to watch a game, but now why do they have nothing to run the stadium, watching TV is not clearer? !!

When the star's appeal is not enough, the NBA can only make more efforts on "beauty se". That ’s why the nba cheerleaders are now passing through fewer and more 'exciting' performances, and there are more and more shows. Under the situation of unattractive competitions, the cheerleaders ’performance can indeed become one Not many highlights.

For Andy's words, although Stern had the urge to vomit blood, he also knew the meaning of ridicule in the words. Stern, who has been in the mall for many years, smelled a dangerous smell as early as last year.

In April 2008, a few months before the overall decline in the US stock market, he had the vision to convene club owners to discuss possible economic downturns and countermeasures. The subsequent situation was worse than he expected. The rapid decline of the global economy made Stern decide to take the lead. Before the NBA regular season this season, the league made a decision to lay off staff.

Nba headquarters layoffs were 9%, and the number of laid-offs reached as many as 80. This move made NBA the first sports league in the United States to lay off staff during the financial tsunami.

"This is also no way out. The financial crisis forced us to tighten our belts and live on." Stern said with emotion.

However, the business trader still expressed his hope for the future of NBA. He went on to say: "The stock market has fallen by 30% to 40%. This cruel fact is in front of us, so our earnings are reduced by 1% or 2% is a normal thing, we must look at the current economic situation, because we do not know what will happen. But we are confident that we can survive this financial crisis.

Besides, NBA depends on more than just the American market. The economy like Europe, especially the Heavenly Dynasty, will not be as difficult as the United States is now. . . "

It is not difficult to smell the words of the president of the alliance, the heaven has become his biggest way to save the NBA economy. As the most favored Rockets team in the Tianchao market, it is undoubtedly the most jealous of all the NBA teams. Especially after winning the championship this year, the Rockets' popularity in the Tianchao is almost incomparable. The Rockets players this summer One after another, the commercial activities of the heavens have been softened.

"The league can play two regular season games in the dynasty as before, such as our Rockets vs. Lakers. I think this game can make all the players happy, do you think, Mr. President."

A sunny smile appeared on Andy's face, watching David Stern suggest.

David Stern also looked at Andy with a smile on his face and said, "It seems that we thought of going together, but what is the situation of Dayao's injury, can he play then? After all, he is the pride of Tianchao. . Without his game, the effect would be discounted. "

"Oh." After hearing Stern's question, Andy shook his head and laughed. Since winning the championship, Dayao has announced that he will be injured in the left foot. Because of the game, he persisted until the end of the finals, and now needs to start treatment. That caused a commotion in the outside world.

In fact, the Rocket has long understood Dayao's injury, but did not disclose this to the outside world, but said in a vague tone that "the situation is not clear" to perfunctory, and various speculations appearing outside the Jane to a ridiculous degree What Dayao was seriously injured, and predictions such as facing retirement are almost flooded with all sports reports in China and the United States.

"He's fine. The left script has injuries, but more is due to fatigue. After a period of rest and conservative treatment, there is no major problem, so you can rest assured that the goal of the Rockets next season is the championship. Defend! "

"Oh, that's good." David Stern looked at the youngest rich man in the world in front of him, and was very impressed. It was undoubtedly a very right thing to agree and help this young man join the alliance, not only to the alliance Bring more attention, and at the same time the business genius and bring many changes to the alliance.

Although the stars hold the team and form a giant team, it is not something he wants to see for the league, but it is not all bad. In any case, the ratings of the Rockets' championship this year have created History, the number of viewers worldwide is almost comparable to the Olympic Games, well, it's a bit exaggerated.

"That's it. The first regular season game between the Rockets and the Lakers will be arranged in the heavens!"

"No problem. Everyone benefits." Andy laughed. "However, I still have to make some comments. Regarding the referee's punishment for Dayao, I believe that a healthy Dayao is very important to the Rockets. The alliance is even more important. At present it seems that Tianchao cannot replace Dayao. Once Dayao leaves the alliance, I believe that although the alliance will not lose the Tianchao market, it will definitely be a half-fold, so I hope the alliance can Take care of it more. This is a very cost-effective business for the alliance. What do you say, Mr. President? "

"........." David Stern twitched his lips and shook his head helplessly. "He has been taken care of a lot."

"Oh, Mr. President, stop joking. Five-step layups and two dribbles with Black Mamba, the little emperor's care for n-step layups is far from good. Do n’t wait until you lose, then regret. There are too many violations of Dayao on the court. I don't want to see him ruined by some rubbish. That kind of loss is too big. I will lose hundreds of millions of dollars every year. I will be crazy! "

Andy said that his face had also changed from a smile to a serious one. His eyes were bright and sharp and he frowned at David Stern. He had already thought about it before this visit, and he must fight for Yao anyway. At the star whistle, even if it is not as exaggerated as Kobe and James, it is necessary for Dayao to enjoy the treatment that the referee always pays attention to protect, so that Dayao becomes a hedgehog to protect Dayao from being hacked.

For Dayao, the cash cow, Andy also took great pains.

"You little guy ... haha, it will really give me problems." David Stern had a helpless smile on his old face and shook his head with a smile. "His height of 2.26 plus a weight of nearly 300 pounds is inside. There is almost no solution. Coupled with his rich offensive skills, it is impossible to lock him up by himself ... "

In fact, everyone knows that Dayao and O'Neill at that time, because it is too large, has tonnage and strength, it is really difficult to defend without small moves. Although the defender has countless small moves, the referee generally does not give the whistle as long as it is not too obvious.

"It can't be fair to the player because he is too strong. The shark hacking strategy is notorious. Dayao is not that big shark, so resistant!"

"puff--"

Hearing Andy's words, David Stern almost spit out old blood again, looked at Andy with a strange look, and shook his head, "Well, I will let the referees pay more attention to it. 'Fair punishment.'

However, David Stern looked at Andy's smile again, and also teased Andy: "By the way, regarding the request of Larry Ellison to join the Warriors, the league has passed Now, next season I am going to let the Rockets and the Warriors fight for Christmas, and I heard that you and Larry are a bit unhappy, really? "

"Oh, nothing, you arranged the Warriors against our Rockets for Christmas. Didn't you obviously want to bully the Warriors? At that time, if the score is too disparate, don't regret it." Andy shook his head with a smile and denied, but in his heart For this old guy's Lao Yin 13, it was also a trance.

"You bad old man, bad!"
