Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Why is Bruce so sure that the Mavericks can sign with Hu Weidong for 5 years? The reason is very simple. Bruce decided to negotiate with Mavericks owner Mark Cuban at the price of "cabbage price" for 5 years.

Hu Weidong signed a contract with the Mavericks for the five-year "cabbage price". Not only did the Mavericks earn it, but Hu Weidong also earned it. As for why, I will explain below.

"Oh, tell me." Bruce's cautious attitude amused old Nelson's curiosity.

"In fact, it's not a big deal. Mr. Nelson, you certainly don't know the situation of Asian basketball. Now Asian basketball is generally lagging behind and wants to catch up with European and American countries as soon as possible. Therefore, the Asian Basketball Association has figured out a way to come out, that is, the Asian Championship The competition is the type of intercontinental competition, and it is held every two years for the Asian Championships." Bruce said with a wry smile.

"What, what, the Asian Championship every two years?" Old Nelson was surprised.

You must know that the American Championships are held every four years, not to mention other sports. Including the Olympic Games, they are held every four years, but the Asian Basketball Championship is actually held every two years. Hehe, old Nelson reluctantly shakes I shook my head. Isn't this ruining the player's career? With such frequent matches, coupled with running back and forth, such players will be ruined if they are not destroyed.

"Yes, and this is not the Asian Games, the World Championships, the Olympics, so let me tell you, if Hu Weidong succeeds in the trial training, he must participate in these competitions." Bruce can only continue to talk.

"NONONO, Bruce, I know that the Asian basketball team of China is the dominant player. Just like our dream team, we can send players casually to reap the victory of the game. There is no need for Hu to participate in so many games..." Even if the competition is frequent It can’t be done like this. It stands to reason that China is so strong in Asia, and one less Hu Weidong will not affect the overall situation.

"Coach Nelson, you don't understand our country's system, just make a score. If Hu plays for my Hans team, I will have to let him go back to play every year. This is how our country is..." Just understand it in detail, I won't talk about other things.

Well, Hu Weidong is going to give a fart. Going back year after year and bringing back all the injuries, doesn't it cause us trouble, no more, no more.

"Forget it, Bruce, it's too troublesome. I will have to negotiate with Hua Guo. I hate trouble..." The old Nelson's thoughts of wanting Hu Weidong faded in an instant.

Old Nelson just retreated like that?

Bruce didn't expect this to be the case either!

I have to say that Bruce's talk to old Nelson not only failed to promote Hu Weidong to the NBA, but instead blocked his entry into the NBA.

Bruce's hacking skills are really good at playing, and I'm not afraid that Hu Weidong will use a knife to kill you when he knows it. You must know that ruining money is like killing a parent. Bruce can break Hu Weidong's dream of becoming a billionaire. Up.

"No, you haven't heard me finish it yet. Hu Weidong is indeed the best Asian player at the moment. If the Mavericks are not selected, he can still enter the NBA. As far as I know, another NBA team has sent a trial training application. Hu Weidong is still considering this, but if the Mavericks missed Hu Weidong this time, he would definitely regret it." Bruce is also anxious now, he didn't expect the reverse effect, but there is no way, he always wants to say Yes, the Asian Basketball Association is really annoying, and he also has to tell the Mavericks about the basketball association. After all, he is a friendly.

Because of so many troubles, Bruce directly adopted the method of buying players and going to college in the United States to study all the elite talents from China, so that they don't have to worry about the Basketball Association.

"Oh, huh, regret? Why do you regret it?" Old Nelson smiled angrily. It was the first time he heard what he would regret.

"Coach Nelson, you still don't know the profit situation of the Hans in Asia?" I am happy to mention this Bruce. I am really happy. The speed of the Hans making money in Asia, especially East Asia, is indeed no one. Within reach.

The promotional products (team badges, jerseys, bibs, etc.) of the Han Chinese team in Asia, whether it is their home country or Japan or South Korea, are all sold crazy.

You may have a question, that is, if it is your home country, it must be the case. As for why Japan and South Korea will buy Hanren products.

The reason is that Bruce has already set up branches in Korea and Japan to carry out large-scale publicity. As for the effect, it is certainly not as good as that of China, but it is not too bad.

"Let me tell you this, I just don't get the league's dividends, and the Hans can also directly market." Bruce said confidently.

Although they have to pay high salaries to the players every year, with the Asian base camp, the income of the Han Chinese team can just be equal to this cost.

Do not doubt the enthusiasm of the Chinese people. You must know that there are a lot of New York Hans posters posted in major high schools and even college dormitories. The Hans are really so awesome in China, and they do make money!

"So making money? What's the matter with Hu?" Old Nelson has been in the league for so long, and he knows that the profitability of each team is indeed not high, and some of them are running the team at a loss. After all, many of them have others. Fixed assets can be invested, and even those teams that lose money can pay their players normally.

After all, the market value of the team is soaring every year, and people make more money as soon as they are sold.

"Why don't you care about Hu Weidong, you always think, if Hu Weidong can enter the NBA arena as the first country in China, wouldn't the Mavericks have the influence on China? Just ask Mark. He It’s better in this respect." Bruce also didn’t want to distribute the cake of China to other teams, especially teams like the Lakers Knicks, but there is no way, the Hans can’t always occupy such a big piece of cake of China. , Bruce would not agree even if he wanted to Stern, this is not in the interests of the alliance, Stern just wants everyone to be good...

If that's the case, then why isn't the Blues cheap for allied teams like the Sonics and the Mavericks.

"Well, I really don't understand the business aspect, but if Hu joins the Mavericks, it will be too much trouble, especially every year he has to fly back to Asia to participate in intercontinental competitions. This way, the back and forth competition is easy to get injured. Combat strength, we don’t have much time to wait for Hu to adapt..." Hu Weidong’s problems are really troublesome. If these problems are not considered, then the old Nelson is basically willing to give Hu Weidong a chance to train.

"It's not so absolute. After all, my team went out. In addition, I and Mark are allies. I will try my best to make peace with the Basketball Association on Hu Weidong's problems. As long as you always give a chance, I believe He is still good value for money." In order for Hu Weidong to enter the NBA, Bruce really did his best. He will try to convince the Basketball Association to let Hu Weidong play less intercontinental games.

"That's fine, if you can, you can tell him to pack up and try out." Since the Mavericks are now in short supply of shooting guards, the old Nelson is not prepared to wait.

"I'm afraid it won't work. What will happen next year? I need time to take care of it. There is another player who will participate in the draft next year. Then they can compete on the same stage." It is happy to mention this Blues. Why, next year It is the year he let Wang Zhizhi participate in the draft, two years earlier than that year. Bruce also believes that the extra two years will definitely make Wang Zhizhi more rewarding in the NBA.
