Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Chapter 312: Shining star all-star game

Haha, it’s really a bit exaggerated, but in the 90s, domestic audiences knew about Oscars and Hollywood, and they didn’t know anything else. For example, when foreign stars got together, it would usually be Oscars and Hollywood, like events like today’s domestic audiences. The first thing in my mind is to participate in the Oscars ceremony. Hollywood is good at acting. Isn't it the Oscars that are going to be awarded today? Nothing wrong!

"..."

There are many examples of this. Watching so many celebrities, especially rich celebrities, come to the scene, people who don’t know think they are having a party!

Teacher Xu and Director Zhang of the CCTV live broadcast were very excited today. They did not see these retired superstars appearing when they went to the United States to explain the game a few years ago, but today they almost all came except Dashuai Zhang.

Teacher Xu and Director Zhang saw the well-known celebrities in the live TV screen and introduced them to the national audience one by one. Hearing that the national audience looked like they admired each other very much, didn’t it, it made all the young people watching the live broadcast on TV Thoroughly worship Paul Allen and Bill Gates. If there is no computer software invented by them, there are any interesting games that can be played on the computer. This is not still playing the old game machine like the Xiaobawang learning machine!

Then there are those who love basketball. Everyone in the ancient times has never seen them, nor have they seen how they play, so basically the domestic attention is not impressed, but after all, they have been selected as the NBA 50 superstars, so what? They are much better than those of the All-Stars. The domestic audience is also very clear about who is high and who is low in an All-Star and a superstar.

And Bruce, who watched the live broadcast in the villa, was obviously not as excited as the above-mentioned people. Not to mention that your alliance invited those retired superstars to come, just to see the rich, celebrities, politicians and dignitaries on the scene. Delly Hepburn was not tempted to invite Bruce, otherwise he would not resolutely reject the graduation exam as early as when Stern invited herself to participate in this year's All-Star Weekend.

In Bruce's view, the award ceremony is far less important than his own visit to Hong Kong Island this year to watch the vanguard troops of the Hong Kong Garrison stationed on Hong Kong Island. To put it ugly, the award ceremony is nothing but Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu is not American.

However, when Bruce was watching the explanations of Teacher Xu and Director Zhang, he always felt as if he was watching the appearances of various countries in the Olympic Games. Anyway, it was weird, but after all, today is the big day of the NBA, and the other three major leagues in the United States and even the NCAA must I made a concession today. This is definitely nothing to say. The main reason is that today is the 50th anniversary of the founding of the NBA. Whoever engages in other activities today will have trouble with the NBA. Everyone understands these unspoken rules.

Of course, Bruce still has to watch the historic All-Star game of the league, which is good for Bruce himself. CCTV has never broadcast the All-Star game in the previous life. At that time, the domestic focus has never been much. The NBA is not one of the five major leagues in Europe. They focus on domestic sports programs such as table tennis, women's volleyball, swimming and diving.

At that time, the live broadcast of the NBA hadn't taken shape, and not many people paid attention to it. But now it's different. Bruce brought the NBA into the country ahead of time. Now the attention is much higher than in the previous life.

Let’s take a score. In the past, the posters about basketball were pasted on the walls of the dormitories of major domestic universities and high schools. Only the comic version of "Slam Dunk" and the Chicago Bulls "Basketball Trapeze" Michael Jordan, except for that. There is nothing else.

But now it's different. You can go to the walls in the dormitories of major universities and high schools in China to see what is the poster with the basketball pasted on it? It's O'Neill and Ewing and even Scott Pippen and other all-star posters.

Of course, the most of these posters are the personal posters of Jordan and the Hans. Needless to say, Jordan, who doesn’t like global superstar players, and the posters of the Hans are all made by the company that Bruce himself prepared in China. Come out, this will be more supportive of domestic fans, right? Why not make money and increase the influence of the Hans in the country?

The promotion of the NBA in China is also thanks to the help of Bruce. Without Bruce's help, the NBA will have to wait until Yao Ming enters the NBA before it can meet with the domestic audience. It can be said that Bruce has advanced the NBA by 7-8 years.

Bruce himself is quite complacent about this. It can be said that this is where he dares to beat Stern, because Stern knows that if he wants to open up the Chinese market, he wants to maximize the benefits of the NBA in China without him. It doesn't make sense, Bruce is not afraid that Stern will kill the donkey. As long as Stern dares to kill the donkey, then Bruce will not mind expelling the NBA from China.

Wasn’t the NBA expelled from China in the previous life because of Morey’s convenient and inappropriate remarks? It’s the same nowadays. As long as Bruce is angered, Bruce believes that he can also completely block the NBA. Whoever dared to jump out and broadcast the picture would let that platform go bankrupt, including the Penguin platform. Don’t think that the Penguin platform will be so rich and well-established in the country. But in Bruce’s eyes, this is nothing. !

You know that Bruce has invested in Jeff Bezos' Amazon. I believe everyone knows how rich Amazon was in the previous life. The most important thing is that Bruce owns shares in Amazon, and the dividends that he receives every year can be crushed to death. Penguin platform hundreds of times. What's more, the Penguin platform has not yet been established, and Bruce is fully capable of acquiring or even erasing it in the first place. Just set up a company similar to the Penguin platform in China. With Bruce's past life familiar with the future of the Penguin platform, he can easily stand on the mountain and look down on his opponent.

...

The reason why this year's All-Star Game is of national concern is not just that the award ceremony was held in the midfield of the 1997 Cleveland All-Star Game. It is also a farewell performance for many veterans. This is the last All-Star game they participated in. Of course, they can still play for a few years without any problems, but the biggest problem is that today’s rookies are too fierce and they can’t. Don’t make room for it. According to this year’s All-Star voting, Kobe and Iverson were able to be properly selected as the All-Star substitutes. But who made this year be the 50th anniversary of the founding of the NBA? There is also an award ceremony. It is the best choice to have a veteran playing in the All-Star game, so that the entire United States will know that our league will not forget you players who have made great contributions to the NBA!

And this year's list of the Twelve People's Congress of the East and the West is basically dominated by veterans.

Eastern All-Star list: (Head coach is Phil Jackson)

Scott Pippen, Dikembe Mutombo, Michael Jordan, Kevin Garnett, Gary Payton, Chris Weber, Tim Hardaway, Joe Dumas, Ah Lonzo Mourning, Glenn Rice, Christian Lightner, Sean Camp.

Western Conference All-Star List: (Head coach is Jerry Sloan)

Carl Malone, John Stockton, Mitch Richmond, Eddie Jones, Latril Sprewell, Detlev Schramf, Charles Barkley, David Robinson, Grant Hill, Anfinney Hardaway, Clyde Drexler, Jason Kidd.

The East and West lists seem to be evenly matched, basically including all the best players in the league. Of course, both Ewing and O'Neal were selected but it is a pity that they did not participate due to injury.
