Three Hundred and Fifty-Nine. A Meeting, a Meeting!
After lunch, I went back to the TV station to make preparations. Although Charlotte is small and there are few people, it is the branch of the largest city in North Carolina. Except that the building is a little shorter, the others are similar to the Atlanta T.N.T that Sun Ce visited last time. It's not bad at all in comparison.
After chatting at lunch and returning to the TV station, Barkley and Kenny Smith got serious and explained to Sun Ce what to pay attention to in the evening game.
They are really professional. Kenny Smith’s annual salary of 2 million US dollars and Barkley’s annual salary of 3 million US dollars are not for nothing. to the BA.
Don't watch the two people fight on TV, there is a lot of preparation before the commentary. Barkley is responsible for the on-the-spot reaction, and Kenny Smith also wrote the commentary, making sufficient preparations.
The two mainly taught Sun Ce what not to say during the commentary, such as skin color, salary, religion, sensitive countries...
Sun Ce carefully remembered to avoid saying things that should not be said during the game.
What's more important is to leave a good impression here with Barkley, so that we can communicate about basketball in the future.
Regardless of whether this guy is fat or short, he is shorter than 1.92 meters, and he usually looks carefree, but in terms of work, he is definitely a very hardworking person. Will not be the first paid basketball commentator.
This guy knows all kinds of skills, not to mention the inside line, he has a huge butt that is tied with Mark Jackson.
On the way back to the TV station in the car after lunch, Sun Ce swiped his mobile phone to Google because Buckley had a good impression of him. He wanted to know more about Buckley, so that he could have more topics to talk about during the exchange. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
But I found out that this fat man has made 538 three-pointers in his career!
He used to think that Barkley only made an occasional shot, but he didn't expect that he averaged 0.5 three-pointers per game in his career, which was incredible in the interior at that time. Jordan also averaged 0.5 three-pointers per game during the same period. The number of games is only one game away, and the three-point shooting percentage rankings are very close...
We must have a good relationship!
...
...
The work of the TV station is still very cumbersome, and it is still a live commentary game, so there are more things to pay attention to.
At half past three in the afternoon,
After setting off to Time Warner Arena, making on-site preparations, sound auditions and other work, at six o'clock in the evening, fans have already come in one after another.
In terms of attendance...Sun Ce feels better than his own team. After his team's record this season, the ticket sales rate has reached more than 95%, and the attendance rate is more than 90%. The Bobcats are almost Full house!
Memphis has the University of Memphis and the Grizzlies, and it is considered a famous basketball city, but it still has a gap with Charlotte, which owns North Carolina, once owned the Hornets, and now has the Bobcats.
At 6:10, 20 minutes before the game, the live broadcast had already started.
The Bobcats played against the Chicago Bulls at home, and the Bobcats established by Jordan contacting rich and powerful people played against the Bulls who were great because of Jordan, and the attention was already high.
T.N.T also invited Sun Ce to participate in the live broadcast commentary. During the promotion in the afternoon, the local fans in Charlotte were already going crazy. They were the most frustrated fans in the past few years. Except for the 2004 and 2005 drafts, they were passable. Since 2006, draft fans have wanted to strangle Jordan for four consecutive years.
Adam Morrison in 2006, all the teams wanted but didn’t dare to choose. Jordan chose, but the crab didn’t make it, but missed Gay. At that time, it was predicted that Jordan would choose someone close to Tracy McGrady in terms of size and physical fitness. Guy, Jordan has always liked McGrady.
In 2007, Brandon White came out of North Carolina. Local fans in Charlotte didn’t want to choose a local college star who had physical fitness but no aggressiveness in his freshman season. Jordan chose, and he had to choose from his own university. .
In 2008, DJ-Augustin was selected, but he was a qualified substitute at best, not up to Felton's level, and could not bring improvement to the weak point guard position.
In general, the selection in 2008 was not particularly bad, at least it was not a parallel import, but coincidentally, the next pick was Lopez, and the media predicted that the Bobcats would pick Lopez...then At that time, Okafor's level had plummeted, and he needed to find another inside core. He saw a cornerstone-level big center fly away from his hands.
If it is said that Jordan continues to believe that Okafor can return to the quasi-All-Star level in his rookie season, it is okay to say that the key is that he traded Okafor not long after he selected DJ-Augustin.
In 2009, Sun Ce was not selected for three consecutive picks, and one pick was just ahead of Sun Ce...
Now Sun Ce has just played 14 games in March. This month, Sun Ce is the best rookie in the league. He is the best rookie of the month in the Western Conference. The future is bright, and when Sun Ce, Barkley and others are sitting in the commentary behind the technical stage, many fans around come to ask for a group photo.
In the group photo, Sun Ce felt a gaze watching him...
Yo, Boss Joe is watching the battle live!
Jordan is so aggrieved, in his arena, there are more fans looking for that rookie to take a photo for an autograph than him!
And it's not good!
That rookie hooked up with Barkley!
That fat man can't seize this opportunity to hack him to death!
And that rookie is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Jordan feels that the night is extraordinarily dark tonight...
The fans at the scene were very popular, and the local ratings in North Carolina were very good. Fans in other regions who were interested in Jordan and Sun Ce also stood in front of the TV, wanting to hear what Sun Ce had to say.
At 6:10, the TV started broadcasting the game, but it was just the first advertisement and some pictures from the TV studio. Kenny Smith seized the time to review his draft.
Barkley was talking bad about Jordan, and Sun Ce felt that this guy was brainwashing himself.
Soon, at 6:25, the screen switched to the scene.
"ladies and gentlemen……"
"Dear friends, your shortest Sir Barkley and strongest rookie Noah are here!"
Before Kenny Smith could finish his opening remarks, Barkley roared.
The fans next to him couldn't help laughing. This position is surrounded by the positions of season ticket holders. Barkley has not come here once or twice, and they have long been used to it.
Kenny Smith covered his head in pain: "Charles, our live broadcast has just started! Let me introduce us first, okay?"
"Our live broadcast needs an introduction? My God, the whole world loves Raymond...oh, no, everyone loves Noah!"
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, these two are cooperating, right?
We all love Raymond? The meeting started right away?
His conference representative is not ready yet!
