Chapter 1798 Youth Storm
NBA regular games usually start on the last Tuesday in October and end in April of the following year.
In more than half a year, their 30 teams have to play a total of 82 games, an average of 3 games a week, and sometimes there are back-to-back games, which is very heavy.
Not to mention back-to-back, 48 minutes of high-intensity confrontation, which focuses on short-range bursts, sudden rapid movements, and fierce confrontation. In fact, to a large extent, it is more tiring than 90 minutes of football.
So don't look at the fact that there are only 5 players on the field. In fact, there are several people waiting for substitutes, but in each game there are usually seven or eight people taking turns playing.
If factors such as injuries are added to the equation, if a team has strength, it will usually prepare three people at each position so that they can top it at any time.
If it is really because of insufficient strength, the team will also buy a few more versatile players, who must be able to adapt to at least two positions as substitutes, so as not to fall into a situation where no one can use them.
Of course, the team's salary has also skyrocketed because of this.
Therefore, in fact, you can think of NBA teams as a combination of about 12-15 people, and some have more.
The future superstars that Yin Jun has assigned to the New York Kirin team can just allow most of the existing main players to serve as substitutes for them, so the strength of the substitutes will not be too bad.
In fact, that's what coach Hubie Brown did.
Although at first he was dissatisfied with Yin Jun's interference in his command, he almost resigned!
Who does Whoopi Brown think you are?
Even if you are a genius in many aspects, in the field of basketball, you are nothing!
But on the one hand, he has a good job with a salary increase and the honor of the head coach, and on the other hand, he has controlled the team for several years. The head coach is really reluctant to part with it.
So he endured it.
But Hubie Brown had already thought about it, and if the results were not good, he would use this as an excuse to get Yin Jun to agree to build the team according to his own wishes.
Unexpectedly, this group of newcomers led by Jordan defeated the Wizards 120:75 from the first game.
In Jordan's first NBA game, he scored 43 points. It was like a god coming down from heaven, and the fans who came to watch the game at home that day went crazy!
ESPN broadcast the entire game, and Jordan became famous in one game.
In the next ten games, although the New York Kirin team also lost 2 games, they scored more than 100 points in ten consecutive games, which is something no team can achieve this season.
After Jordan and others became familiar with the game environment, they burst out with greater energy.
From 11 to 20 games, they won eight more games and scored more than 100 points in nine games.
The excellent results of only losing 4 games in 20 games have made the New York Kirin team No. 1 in the league, better than the Los Angeles Lakers and Celtics, who have been the overlords in recent years.
Hubi Brown was so excited that he couldn't believe it. How could they be so fierce? How did I get so lucky? Met such a group of talented players?
At this time, he had long forgotten the idea that he wanted to give these newcomers a show of strength and let them know who was the real master of the court.
He was so proud that he forgot who selected these newcomers. He just felt that it was time for him to reap the rewards.
At this time, the first assistant coach Phil Jackson always remained silent. While listening to Hubby Brown boasting about his good tactics, he carefully studied the characteristics of each player on the field and thought about how to use them. The biggest advantage.
Nowitzki has quietly told him that if he trains for two years, the boss will surprise him.
Two years?
Phil Jackson immediately woke up to the fact that this was the length of Hubie Brown's head coaching contract.
If the boss has a surprise for him, isn't it obvious that he is preparing to take on a big responsibility?
However, Phil Jackson is worthy of being a future Zen master. Even after knowing this great news, he did not get carried away, but took his work more seriously.
Study your own tactics more seriously and observe your players.
Most of the players are now in their 20s and have basically not reached their peak period, so in two years, they will be more mature.
If I took over at that time and didn't produce convincing results, my position as coach would not be secure.
So he hid his ambitions and worked hard to improve himself.
The spread of sports events is obviously related to television.
Thanks to Robert Iger, ESPN not only broadcasts every New York Kylins game, but also produces albums about the New York Kylins every day, which keeps fans hooked and at the same time, it also gains a lot of ratings. .
By mid-December, every New York Kirin game was watched by more than 20 million viewers, making it an unparalleled success.
It was also in this atmosphere that the Madison Square Garden Arena, home of the New York Kylins, became the most popular venue in the NBA. It was always full and scalpers made a lot of money.
The most lively place naturally has no shortage of people joining in the fun.
Gradually, more and more celebrities appeared here.
There are many stars in Los Angeles, but there are more elites in all aspects of New York.
At first they were just models and stars in the fashion world, then they were elites in the business world, and later they also came from the political world...
Each box was booked or transferred at a high price, and the camera footage of each game always captured many celebrities.
In this way, it seems that the New York Kirins have a higher standard.
NBA is a commercial league. In the eyes of David Stern, nothing is as important as making more money or being more famous in NBA.
In today's NBA league, the Los Angeles Lakers and Celtics have been competing for hegemony for the past two years. Although these two teams have many superstars, they are already too familiar to people.
N.BA needs more fresh blood to support the expansion of this league.
At this time, when David Stern had just taken over as the president of the NBA, a New York Kirin team suddenly appeared and became popular throughout North America with its youthful storm, which immediately made David Stern interested.
In fact, this short NBA president who deeply loves Chinese culture is very convinced of some Eastern theories.
For example, he believes in fate.
In his previous life, Michael Jordan participated in the draft in the same year that David Stern became president, so David Stern regarded him as one of his own.
The more he praises Michael Jordan, the more successful Michael Jordan is, the more he can represent his own success and the more he can show his superiority - such a world's number one superstar is what I, David Stern, praise. Come out, do you think I'm awesome?
Now in this life, the same thing is happening.
Only this time, David Stern's ambition suddenly became bigger.
After seeing the crazy performance of the New York Kirins and the whirlwind caused by this youth storm, he wanted to support not just Michael Jordan, but the entire New York Kirins!
Think about it!
If the New York Kirins become the number one basketball team in the world and spread the glory of the NBA to the entire world, how great a reputation will I gain and how great a success will I have?
People will remember, and will be remembered in the history of the NBA, that it was me, David Stern, who created this miracle, and I will be recorded in history!
After having this idea, things will be much easier to handle.
Under David Stern's instructions, NBA officials also began to focus on promoting the New York Kirins.
Not only did every player here be highly recommended and praised, but Yin Jun was also roped in.
The reputation of the richest man in the world and the smartest person in the world is much greater than that of the New York Kylins or even the NBA.
Especially regarding this group of players who caused a youth storm, they were all selected by Yin Jun himself. They were even used to boast by the NBA, saying that Yin Jun was the person with the most divine vision. The players he selected , will definitely become a superstar and dominate the world.
With this kind of publicity by NBA, the first thing that attracted the interest was the comic fans of "Slam Dunk".
What?
Is my young master Jun so awesome?
Not only is it exciting to draw comics, but he also has such a good eye for reality. He directly selected a group of world-class superstars?
I heard that they are better than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and other superstars?
Then I have to go and see it!
So not only comic fans in North America went to watch the game, but fans from Europe, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and other places also flew to the United States to watch the game.
Conditions really didn't allow it, and we had to lock in the TV stations that broadcast the New York Kirin games, and eagerly watch the games and performances of these new players.
In addition to them, others who are interested are Yin Jun's book fans and movie fans.
It's easy to create worlds in books and movies, as long as you have imagination and pen power.
But it’s different in reality.
You said that Yin Jun has an excellent vision in selecting actors for movies, that's because he is in this industry himself.
Now Yin Jun is actually sitting in the NBA Basketball League. He can choose a group of players at will and become a hot new star. He has the embryo of a superstar. How is that possible?
With this kind of interest, everyone who doesn't care much about basketball on weekdays will naturally want to take a look and take a look.
Yin Jun has more than a few dozen fans including book fans, movie fans, comic fans, etc.
According to statistics in the middle of this year, Yin Jun has more than 60 million fans in North America alone!
You read that right.
There are only 400 million people in the United States, the United States and Canada, and about 15% of them are fans of Yin Jun.
Comic fans cover both boys and girls.
Book fans cover the adult population.
Movie fans cover all age groups.
TV fans have not spared even the aunts.
If we include the business community, of course there are countless elites who admire Yin Jun, the self-made richest man in the world.
With such all-round coverage, there is no other star in the world that can compare to Yin Jun.
These people only use one-tenth, no, one-twentieth, so there is no need to sell other tickets for the Madison Square Garden Arena throughout the year - half of the 82 games are played away from home!
Even if only one in 50 or 60 people came to take a look out of curiosity, it would be enough to fill the arena and digest it for more than half a month.
In fact, all the tickets for the Madison Square Garden Arena were sold out a month later.
NBA game tickets are not at a unified price. Each team can set its own arena ticket price - you can't ask the New York Kirins to have the same ticket price as the Hornets' tickets, right?
Then the better the performance, the higher the ticket price for the game, and the stronger the team against, the higher the ticket price will naturally be.
The cheapest ticket for a New York Kirin game now costs 60 US dollars, and the most expensive ticket, for the row behind the players, costs over 10,000 US dollars.
The second-row seats facing the league's hottest star, Michael Jordan, are priced at less than $20,000.
But even so, the price of New York Kirin tickets is still in short supply, and people often queue up to buy them out in the shortest possible time.
If they weren't worried about ticket scalpers, they could even sell out the tickets now.
As for the package tickets, there were some that were not sold out before because I was worried that the young people would do poorly.
These packages are simply not sold now. They were collected directly by Nowitzki, used as favors, and given to various big shots.
He even gave one to the deputy commander, but whether he came or not was another matter.
But no matter what, the more big shots are paying attention to the New York Kirin Team, the less likely those messy things will happen to the New York Kirin Team, and even the police patrols will be ten times more diligent.
Fans will also be happy to see celebrities while watching the game.
For example, today, when the camera caught sight of superstar Stallone and the handsome young man beside him, the whole audience screamed.
That's right.
Boss Yin Jun came to watch the game in person!
