Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 570 Without Li Tian, ​​Christmas fiasco!
The alliance worked very efficiently, and at 9 o'clock the next morning, it quickly punished the fight.

Just yesterday when Stern was about to take a break, the cell phone rang suddenly, and he was still very angry.

"Hey, what is it that bothers me so late? If it's not important, I don't mind changing to a secretary. I hope you can keep this job for you."

If Stern stood in front of you, you would definitely think that he was a gentle old man, but when he was in the NBA management, he was a hardliner, a person who had absolute control over power.

"President, in the game where the Thunder challenged the Lakers, there was another fight. Durant pushed someone from behind, and Li punched Durant, causing the latter to fracture his nasal bone. He will have to rest for at least two weeks."

When the reporter heard what Stern said, he was also in a cold sweat. His current job is a high-paying job, very decent, and there is no danger.If he loses this job, it may not be long before his family will live on the streets, and his house will be taken away by those shameless bankers.

"FUCK!" There was a curse on the other end of the phone.

"Hold a management meeting immediately, and we must resolve this matter as soon as possible!" Stern hurriedly arranged.

The last time Artest fought, Stern didn't hold any meeting at all, and made a punishment decision directly, and the discussion was completely unnecessary.

The reason for the discussion this time is mainly to express his views on Li Tian and Durant to the management.

After an hour of discussion, the penalty result was finally obtained, and the penalty result was announced on the league's official website as soon as possible the next day.The league has not changed the severity of the punishment for fighting, but there is a relative mitigation of punishment, which is also to maintain the team's income.

After the penalty result was made, Stern couldn't help but cursed, "Damn it, why do you have to fight at this time, even if it's two fights later, the suspension must be done. Tolerance has long been one of the labels of the league, and punishment is a must."

Stern shook his head, he could only make up his mind and punish him!
"In view of the fact that there was a fight in the Thunder VS Lakers game on December 09, 12, the league made the following punishments."

In response to yesterday's fight, the league showed the fans in every detail from the beginning to the end of the fight.

"Durant is suspended for 5 games, and must participate in 30 hours of public welfare activities, and at the same time is punished with $5; Lee is suspended for 4 games, and must participate in 20 hours of public welfare activities, and is at the same time in A penalty of 3 dollars!"

This kind of punishment is still very reasonable. Seeing this kind of punishment, the Thunder appealed to the league again.The purpose of their complaint is not to reduce Durant's punishment. It has been determined that the offseason will be at least 10-15 days, so there must be 5 games and they will not be able to participate.

They believed that the punishment for Li Tian was too light, and the reason for the appeal was simple, that is, Durant was injured more seriously.Stern wouldn't indulge them, and sternly rejected their appeal.

On December 12, Taylor was finally freed from the heavy work, returned to Los Angeles, accompanied Li Tian, ​​and started a happy life for the two of them.

"God, where are we going?" Taylor was dressed in a very ordinary way, without any flirtatious feeling, she looked like an ordinary white woman, and no one would associate her with Taylor.

"Just go shopping, I haven't bought a Christmas tree yet!"

Originally, he had arranged for the purchase of the Christmas tree to the corresponding housekeeping company, but now that he is suspended, he can spare a lot of time to go shopping with Taylor and buy these things by the way, which is also a good choice.

"Let's go, I'll go shopping with you!" Taylor looked at Li Tian's expression, he didn't know, he didn't know at all, where can I buy these things near Los Angeles!

Holding Li Tian's hand, she walked quickly towards the Christmas shop. She also enjoyed this kind of life very much.

Of course, happy times are always short-lived.

For him, the past few days have been quite pleasant. He sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day, accompanied by beauty, and he doesn't have to get up early for training, let alone worry about Kobe's harassment.

The Lakers were not so lucky. The world-renowned Christmas game faced the Cleveland Cavaliers in Los Angeles.The Cavaliers also made big moves during the offseason and made a deal with the Phoenix Suns. Just from the point of view of the transaction, they made a profit for the Cavaliers.

The subject of the trade is O'Neal and Ben Wallace. The Cavaliers sent Ben Wallace, Wally Szebiak and the 09th overall pick in 46 in exchange for O'Neal of Phoenix.

This is a deal that is beneficial to both parties. The Cavaliers traded away Wallace, who was never able to play at all, in exchange for O'Neal. Although O'Neal is too old, he can no longer run wild on the court like when he first entered the league.This season, O'Neal still brought a lot of help to James, and James is no longer alone, supporting the team alone.

For Wallace, the Phoenix Suns directly sought a buyout, and Wallace returned to the Pistons, and once again had a second spring.

The Suns sent O'Neal away and bought out Wallace. Stoudemire also became stronger inside and his performance improved significantly. The Suns that bombarded them that year also improved a lot in season record, and their record has risen to third in the Western Conference. .

The Cavaliers' inside line has been enriched. With O'Neal in the Lakers' inside line, after losing Li Tian, ​​the Lakers' outside shooting rate dropped sharply, and Artest's James' limit also dropped a lot, far inferior to his defense.

After several hours of fierce fighting, the Lakers finally lost, losing the Christmas game 102:87. Compared with the Lakers, a loss of more than 10 points is considered a fiasco in the last game.

After the game, many media criticized the Lakers even more. "The Lakers who lost Lee are like losing their souls. The quality of their perimeter defense has plummeted!"

"Really, it's embarrassing to miss whoever wins the game, and whoever is missing in a loss can show his importance!" This is obviously affirming Li Tian's importance to the Lakers.

He didn't pay attention to these at all. After sending Taylor away, he focused all his efforts on negotiating a new sneaker contract.

After a period of negotiation, in the end there were only four sneaker companies left. The contracts given by some other companies were either too small, or their market was too small to bring Li Tian the greatest benefits.

Under the urging of Bill Duffy, I hope he can sign a new sneaker endorsement contract as soon as possible. In a month or two, the All-Star will start. If he cannot launch a new signature sneaker at that time, it will undoubtedly be a loss for him. is huge.

"Mr. Duffy, is it convenient for us to make an appointment, let's talk about this issue first?" Bill Duffy was called, and this matter needed to be discussed in detail.

"Okay, we have an appointment in an hour, and it's still the meeting room from last time!" Duffy quickly agreed on the time and place to meet.

After the pass, he didn't rush to the past, but first found his cousin. After all, Li Ming had been negotiating with him all the time, so he had a relatively clear understanding of this matter.

"Cousin, what do you think of this new sneaker endorsement contract?" He had to be cautious.

The sneaker endorsement contract is not just a simple endorsement fee. Now he is an All-Star starter and a star player, and he will definitely develop towards a superstar next.A good endorsement contract can not only bring him a lot of income, but also help him do some marketing.

Behind the NBA league, these sports brands are full of figures, and there are many big-name star transactions, more or less have their existence.

"It's really tiring. Although I'm not usually the one negotiating, I feel very tired just listening from the sidelines. Mr. Duffy is an excellent agent!"

Li Ming did not forget to praise Duffy when complaining about his hard work. During this period of time, he just followed the negotiation, which benefited him a lot.

"Cousin, I know you are very tired. When the negotiation is over, I will give you a vacation and have a good rest. The most important thing now is which sneaker company do you want to sign with?"

Li Tian is already prepared to finish dealing with the sneaker contract during his suspension, so that he can launch new signature shoes as soon as possible, and his income will increase again.

Who has the initiative in the sneaker endorsement contract depends on who can bring more benefits to the other party.If a player does not have much fame, then the initiative belongs to the sports brand. If you play your worth and become the hottest player in the league, then the initiative belongs to the player.

"Haha, I can't take a break. I have to earn money for milk powder for my child. There are still many endorsement contracts in the country, so I really don't have much time to rest!"

Li Ming quickly interrupted his promise, and then continued to say, "Xiaotian, you also know that the final negotiation has been very clear, and there are only four or five companies left. As for which company to sign, it depends on you." Come to think about it, because the contract they have offered is already the largest endorsement contract, and it is not so easy to squeeze out a little more water."

As for Li Tian's future achievements, some companies are still worried. Once a huge contract is signed, it will even affect the company's future. They will be very cautious and weigh the pros and cons before giving the current contract.

"Okay, let's go and talk to Duffy later, I hope to sign a new endorsement contract as soon as possible, otherwise it will only be more busy in the future, and it will be difficult to find time!"

Being busy is actually just an interface. He hopes that the new signature sneakers can be released before the All-Stars arrive.

"No problem, I'm waiting for you to make a final decision now. In fact, several companies have their own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how you choose. It's better to sign it early. It's time for your signature sneakers for the new season to appear."

"Don't tell me, these companies really put their heart into designing new signature sneakers for you." During the negotiation, each company designed new signature sneakers for him this year, which is also a way to impress the stars. means.

If the design of the signature sneakers is creative enough, then the star may sign the contract directly because of this. Although the hope is slim, there are.
