585 NBA frenzy
After hearing Stern's proud words, Stu Jackson shrugged and said indifferently: "You are right, David, it is indeed a correct decision for us to open the Chinese market. What you do has made great contributions to the league. But I still insist that the main market of NHAR spoons should be in the United States, and the worst is Europe, not Asia. They will create benefits for the league, but how big will that return be?
Stern's hand holding the coffee cup shook for a moment, and he smiled and looked at Adam Xiaohua, asking for his opinion.
Compared with Stu Jackson, who is handsome and elegant, and has an outstanding temperament, the vice president has a much mediocre appearance. Perhaps, saying that he is mediocre is a praise for him. This guy actually has a sharp-mouthed and bald head and big eyes. To use the sketches of Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi, Stu Jackson is also an underground party, while Xiao Hua is a complete traitor.
Xiao Hua pondered and shook his head, "No, Stu, I don't agree with your opinion very much. To be honest, Chinese fans do not have the ability to spend thousands of yuan to watch a game, and they can watch forty or fifty games a year, which is unrealistic. But this is related to their national conditions. Even in Europe, Germany, France, their fans will not be willing to pay so much money to watch basketball, and would rather brave the wind and snow to watch football outdoors."
"However, we should pay attention to the Asian market, especially the Chinese market. The United States has four major leagues, including U, A, NNF, etc. To put it more broadly, there are NCAs, China does not, and they only have the Chinese Super League. Can EAO still take a look and know what this means?"
Stu Jackson shrugged, "You mean, they saved all the money, and we can make money as long as we do the right way?"
Xiao Hua said with a smile: "This is one aspect, and more importantly, it shows that they lack sports idols. As long as we successfully create Chinese M∫ Chinese Kobe and Chinese AI, they will become die-hard fans of the league."
As he said that, Xiao Hua picked up a newspaper and spread it in front of the two of them, saying, "I know this old guy Vaccaro. His success in China now has provided us with clues. As long as we respect Chinese fans enough, this will be a supermarket in NHAR. To put it further, it will even become our new talent."
The sharp decline in American domestic stars has become an indisputable fact. The NHA now has LeBron, Howard, Paul, Wade, Anthony, etc., but in the 1980s and 1990s, there were many stars of this level, such as cross-river. If Bird, Johnson, Malone, Barkley Miller and others stayed in this era, the NHAR spoon would have stronger appeal. As for Jordan? If he fought Chamberlain in this era, the NH would be so popular that it would be unimaginable.
Where is the success of NHAR spoon? Are the stars really so outrageous? No, the stars are also humans. Their games are indeed beautiful, but they cannot break through the limits of the human body. The NHA was successful at Stern because Stern packaged and beautified NHE stars, otherwise NHAO would be the event that passed the time for the lower class at the beginning of creation.
Packaging and beautification are a science. Both UL and Major League Baseball want to enter the Chinese market, but they all failed. It’s not because no one in China plays baseball and rugby. As long as the publicity is properly, these two sports will grow slowly. However, their packaging for stars is too poor, and they will push those people to China simply and roughly, and the Chinese don’t buy it at all.
To package the same product, there is a prerequisite for first. The iron must be strong. This product must be of high quality. The packaging attracts new customers, so that the product itself will attract repeat customers. The quality of the players produced by NHA is now declining sharply. If it weren't for the appearance of Chamberlain, Stern and others would be helpless in the Chinese market.
After hearing Xiao Hua's words, Stu Jackson shook his head and insisted on his own opinion: "The yellow people are not suitable for the NHA, otherwise how could they not have an excellent defender? Yao Ming and Chamberlain are both guys who meet once in a century, and they cannot promote them in the face of the situation. I mean, we must pay attention to the Asian market, but we only pay attention, not particularly."
Stern smiled and sipped his coffee, nodded while listening to the two of them, no matter who they were concerned about.
This is the art of leadership.
He is about to retire, and this tyrant who has spread the NH to the world is finally old and wants to give up his position as emperor, but who are they? His current competitors are Stu Jackson and Adam Xiaohua. They are the two most important and most powerful people under Stern. If nothing unexpected happens, the future NHA president will choose one of them.
Stern's final choice is not the final decision, but his opinion is very important. Because of his leadership, NHA bosses were able to make a lot of money. Stern's golden sign has already started. Perhaps some of the bosses don't like him, but they definitely trust him.
The two vice presidents fought verbally, and as before, the topic ended in vain and they went to do their own thing after drinking coffee.
Stern sat on the wide H6 chair and pondered for a long time, then said to the secretary: "Anfenny, help me get Mr. Xiao Hua's information, I want to take another look."
Xiao Hua was born in 196 and grew up in New York. He was a Knicks fan when he was a child. He was different from Stern. He entered the league to work in this job, which contained his love for basketball. Stern recognized basketball because of his work, and Xiao Hua recognized his current job because of basketball. From the experience, Stu Jackson and Stern are the same. He also became a monk and entered the NHAR spoon halfway.
But Xiaohua is the same as Stern, that is, he is also a lawyer. He graduated from Duke University in 1984 and obtained a law degree from the University of Chicago in 196. Before joining the NHA, he worked in law in New York. Silva began working for the NHA in 1919. Before becoming vice president, he worked as an assistant to Stearn, and Stern's special assistant was Stu Jackson.
Among these two people, Stern originally valued Stu Jackson more, who is more courageous, ambitious and responsible, so Stern has always designated him to present awards to players. In addition, many people may not know that in the NH draft, Stern called and received the first round, and Stu Jackson came to do this job in the second round.
After studying Xiao Hua's resume and work achievements, Stern turned around and looked at the traffic outside the window. The charming secretary Anfenny quietly sorted out the information. Suddenly, Stern turned his head and said, "You go and draft a notice to appoint Mr. Adam Xiao Hua as the new chief operating officer of the NHA, and the former chief operating officer Mr. Stu Jackson was transferred to the president of the NH Entertainment Alliance. That's it."
Anfenni smiled slightly and said, "Okay, Mr. President, I'll design the notice now and send it to you for inspection in ten minutes."
After walking out of Stern's office, the charming young woman called Xiao Hua's office as soon as possible. After answering, she said: "You and Mr. Jackson's jobs have been transferred. Mr. Jackson has been transferred to the president of the NH Entertainment Alliance, and the position of chief operating officer will be delivered to you."
On the other side of the phone, Xiao Hua was slightly stunned at first, then he was overjoyed and politely spoke to Anfeni. He put down the phone and fisted hard.
Facing the curious secretary, he ordered: "Hi, Mekari, find me a book of Chinese history, don't have a big deal, I want a simple version. In addition, please contact a Chinese teacher, well, and buy me a plane ticket by the way, I want to fly to Orlando."
Xiao Hua is naturally not a fool when he can get from a lawyer to the position of vice president of the NHA. The moment he gets the news from Anfenny, he suddenly understands the problem. Stern, like him, attaches great importance to the Chinese market.
The title of NH Entertainment Alliance President seems to be very cool, but it is actually a false position. The Chief Operating Officer is a real sovereign position. At this time, he replaced Stu Jackson as the new generation of Chief Operating Officer, which actually means that Stern values him more as the next president of the league.
Xiao Hua felt that it was necessary to bring himself into his relationship with Chamberlain, because in the near future, the two of them would become good partners.
Orlando and Oakland, the names of these two cities are really similar. Many foreigners can't tell the difference between them and San Francisco. Orlando is the one that is both a twin city like San Francisco, and Oakland is the place where Disneyland is located. In fact, these two cities are on the east coast and the other on the west coast, and there is no relationship between them.
However, the two cities are now linked because their teams met in the finals
The Magic's victory exceeded the Warriors, so according to the NHA Finals schedule, the first two games will be held in Orlando, which is the Magic's home court, Water House Center Stadium.
The Warriors' special plane arrived at the International Airport in Orlando, and some fans came to pick them up. But don't think they are here to welcome the Warriors players, but in fact they are here to provoke and suppress them. This is the finals.
The Magic have also reached the finals in history. O'Neal and Hardaway teamed up to bring the team into the finals, but were shaved by Olajuwon and the Rockets of Glider Drexler and swept out 40.
For Magic fans, it was a brilliant and unbearable time to look back. In that season, their team eliminated the Bulls land with Jordan in the Eastern Conference Finals. How could O'Neal, who could ravage the Bulls' penalty area, get upset after meeting Olajuwon. Hardaway, who dares to fight with Jordan, was also well taught a lesson by the glider |
The young Magic was swept out. At that time, Magic fans were still optimistic and thought they had seen hope for the team's rise. As a result, the next year, Emperor Jordan returned strongly. He used the divine block to kill gods and Buddhas to warn the Eastern teams that I just returned last year but still didn't find any feeling. From now on, you are ready to die.
The Bulls' glory lasted only three years, but in these three years, Magic fans have experienced two different things from hope to despair, from peak to trough: because Magic bets on Hardaway, O'Neal angrily defected to the Lakers, where he created the first three-game miracle after Jordan; while Hardaway suffered an ankle injury and became a Glass man, quickly turning from a super swinger who can fight against Jordan to a basic salary veteran who swung back and forth between the court and the hospital.
The miserable magic was not over yet. Later, they paid a lot of money to chase Hill and McGrady, preparing to form the Jordan Pippen combination. As a result, Hill became the second glass man, more glassy than Hardaway. McGrady was unable to support the team alone, so the Magic began a sharp journey to a bottom team. Until 204, McGrady went to the Rockets, and the Magic selected No. 1 pick Howard.
Howard once again became the new hope for Magic. This guy with an incredible physical fitness quickly showed his potential since the second year. He led the Magic team step by step, from the bottom of the fish to the finals.
Magic fans once believed that Howard would bring them the glory that O'Neal Hills had never created, but as a result, Chamberlain was born...
Now, the national expert fans are one-sided, and the Warriors win the championship. It depends on whether they swept the Magic 40 or let the Magic win a game with mercy. This makes Magic fans very angry. Under the stimulation of the outside world, these people united and supported the home team together, and even bothered to disturb them from the beginning of the Warriors players landing in Orlando.
Orlando is not a fanatical sports city, it is Disney's world, and children and innocence are the main theme here, but in order to make a sigh of relief, the fans in this city united.
