0177 LeBron teamed up with Howard
After listening to Robert's report,
Su Yang shook his head and chuckled, "$5 million in five years is too low. We want to build a team that is as dominant as the Bulls, as entertaining as the Lakers, and as luxurious as the Knicks. Double the price…”
Robert made a little estimate, thinking that the current NBA league, the national live broadcast contract reached with ESPN/ABC and TNT, allows each team to earn 2300 million U.S. dollars a year, and Time Warner currently plans to give the Warriors in California, Nevada, Arizona. Spanish and English channels in Washington State, Oregon, New Mexico, and Texas,
The price of 2000 million US dollars a year is very optimistic about the potential of the Warriors. It is almost equal to another contract of the national live broadcast level, but Su Yang plans to double it, that is, starting with 4000 million US dollars a year. How can it be achieved?
Instinctively want to ask questions,
You can imagine that Su Yang is omnipotent, so don't question it.
"Don't rush to talk to them now, just keep in touch. After we win the championship again, we will have a bigger bargaining chip, and we will have more confidence in asking for double the price..." Su Yang saw that Robert was not very convinced, but he dared not asked rhetorically,
I don’t want to explain too much. California will soon become the center of the world. Microelectronics and information technology in Silicon Valley in Northern California, and semiconductors in Hollywood and Irvine in Los Angeles in Southern California. There will be a large number of potential Warriors or NBA fans.
4000 million US dollars a year is really not expensive, and it is possible to ask for 11 million US dollars a year. After all, according to the historical trajectory, the contract signed by the Lakers and Time Warner in 20 years is 30 billion US dollars in 1.5 years, as high as 04 million US dollars per year. On the basis of no inflation and depreciation, it is entirely possible to sign a contract of US$1 million for one year in 1. Anyway, the target is set at a high point.
What's more, after the end of the season, TV stations such as Fox may also join the competition, which will help raise prices.
While thinking about it, Su Yang ended the conversation and turned to the post-match press conference. He talked about the 72 Bulls who wanted to tie with the 10-5 Bulls. There were only 38 opportunities for error tolerance left, but there were [-] games left. Whether to continue In pursuit of achieving the best in history,
"Of course we will continue to pursue the best in history,
We won 38 of the 33 games, and the winning rate is only 86%. Our record in the previous 44 games was 39 wins and 5 losses, and the winning rate was as high as 88%. We don’t need to make any special changes, just continue to maintain the winning rate. Please stay tuned. "
Originally hit 72 wins and 10 losses, but just wanted to increase the price of tickets for the next season and playoffs,
Now that Time Warner has joined in and wants to monopolize the broadcast rights of non-U.S. live broadcasts, the necessity to hit 72 wins has been greatly increased. Even in order to better negotiate an annual broadcast fee of 1 million US dollars, it is necessary to hit 73 wins and 9 to break the Bulls record .
The arrogant speech soon appeared in the reports,
Fans and the media marveled at Su Yang's daring to lead the warriors to challenge the limit. It can only be said that he does have a chance to make history.
In the early morning of the next day, Su Yang rushed to the training base to discuss how to better build the image of the Warriors, expand the fan base, and prove that there are a large number of Warriors fans. .
Only by proving that there are very die-hard Warriors fans can the broadcast offer be better raised, and Time Warner has a bottom line.
The fact that Warriors fans mailed their photos and names to make a huge group photo has become the most favorable and clearest proof. Raymond, Robert and others have praised the foresight.Su Yang laughed, thinking that Student He's operation is really easy to use.
The home of warriors website has become another favorable proof, with a large amount of discussion content, hundreds of thousands of active users, discussing basketball, food, TV dramas and other things, it is simply a super community, and the follow-up operation and the work of preventing hackers have to be erected.
When the scale is bigger, you will have to add servers. Fortunately, the new arena is located by the sea, and the water cooling is very convenient.
"Go to the Warrior's House and post more,
Who is faster between Superman and Flash, and who is richer between Batman and Iron Man, which drives the discussion...
What else can Kobe replace Jordan, can he lead Pippen and Rodman to get the second three consecutive championships in 96-98?"
On the 30th of the next day, the Warriors will face the Bulls.
Considering the need to increase the ratings and attendance, Su Yang arranged for the first three quarters to fight hard and took a 20-point lead into the fourth quarter, then began to let Richardson and Josh Howard perform dunks, and let Garnett play the game instead. Practice shooting three-pointers,
In the end, they defeated the Bulls 111 to 101. The victory, spectatorship and player improvement were all obtained, and they earned a turnaround.
The Warriors turned to two consecutive away trips, originally planning to let Gentry lead the team, but thought of playing the Mavericks, so as not to make Garnett exaggerated by Nowitzki, and then be ridiculed by the fans to affect the state , Su Yang decided to take a trip by himself.
On February 114nd, I flew to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies. It was still Garnett and Dayao who teamed up to strangle Gasol and Lorenzen, but unfortunately, Bunche Wiltz exploded and played until the end of the fourth quarter. Lay the foundation for victory, and finally won 103 to [-].
Attending the press conference after the game, when talking about how to evaluate the game, Su Yang praised the Grizzlies lineup, "With Gasol, Battier, White Chocolate, Wiltz, Mike Miller, and coach Hubie Brown. Guidance, they can make the playoffs..."
The interview was reported later, and fans and the media lamented that Su Yang praised coach Hubie Brown, which was really a bit surprising.
Instead, the Warriors flew to Dallas overnight, rested for a morning, woke up at noon, ate something and headed to the arena.
Su Yang casually looked at the news and found that the Cavaliers actually DNP punished Darius, Dajuan and Ricky Davis and let LeBron play casually. The general manager of the Cavaliers was interviewed and implicitly expressed that he wanted to learn from Su Yang and Ricky Davis. advanced experience of warriors,
That is to continue to fight for a high pick, find an inside helper for LeBron, form a Lakers-style OK lineup with one inside and one outside, or find a swingman to single out a master, as a scoring supplement for LeBron to lead the team, with defense will be better.
"To be honest, we originally expected LeBron to be an All-Star starter and lead the team to win a championship in the future, but a legendary coach like Su Yang actually targeted LeBron like that, which made us feel that things were not easy.
In the past two years, Su Yang has never targeted any other player in the league like he targeted LeBron. We feel that he does not want to see LeBron grow up smoothly, so he deliberately caused internal strife in our team by letting it go to show LeBron's strength.
More ferocious than we expected. "
After reading the news, a ghostly thought flashed through Su Yang's mind: "I'm mad, wouldn't LeBron team up with Howard?"
Putting up a show by yourself to target LeBron will actually make the Cavaliers determined to continue to compete for the No. [-] pick?
Accidentally change the trajectory of history!
But LeBron teaming up with LeBron is nothing to worry about. Howard is a low-post guy who suffered from Yao Wanke. He doesn't like to play pick-and-rolls. He doesn't match LeBron's technical style. pull,
According to the historical trajectory, the Cavaliers almost chose Iguodala. The main reason is that LeBron played against Iguodala in the high school AUU league. strength.
The Cavaliers choose Iguodala to get the biggest bonus, and the same goes for other Livingston, Rolle Deng or Ben Gordon.
"The Eastern Pistons have not been formed according to the historical trajectory. If the Cavaliers choose Iguodala, it may be that they will have consecutive finals against the Cavaliers led by LeBron from 06. The Pacers are also very likely. Benshan..."
