Chapter 673 Hammer, Don't Try to Change Jobs
The next day, at three o'clock in the afternoon on Christmas Day, a grand press conference was held at the Hilton Hotel under the arrangement of WMA and Arum.
WMA brought all its big stars, such as Denzel Washington, Mel Gibson, Natalie Portman, Zhang Ziyi, etc., to set off the whole press conference very eye-catchingly, and the attention has captured everyone's attention.
When the press conference, it was a real uproar.
Who is Li Ba?
Last season's FMVP? That's not a big deal, because every season has one.
Creator of 4 double-doubles in the playoffs 4 times, 5*5 creators in the playoffs 13 times, averaged double 20+5*5 creators in the finals, defending the steals + blocks + rebounds for 2 consecutive seasons. Leaving aside, this is his unique data, any one of which has never been created by anyone.
With such data, if he were an American, he would have long been defined as the number one active player in the league.
But even if not, his influence is extremely huge.
"Hammer, are you leaving the NBA?"
"Hammer, please don't leave the NBA!"
"Hammer, why?"
"Hammer, don't learn from Jordan, don't learn from him!"
The reporters who were present at the scene, mainly focusing on NBA news, shouted anxiously, and the scene was chaotic.
Some of the media don't like Li Ba, but they, like other media people, rely on the NBA for food. If a controversial, topical and popular superstar like Li Ba leaves the NBA, it will definitely benefit the NBA. Damage will also involve their interests, so I am very anxious.
Li Ba took a microphone and shouted at the media: "There is no order, please be quiet!"
His yelling made the scene quiet, and he listened to him and listened to what he had to say.
The big Hollywood stars next to them were immediately astonished, they didn't dare to yell at the media like that.
But this has always been Li Ba's attitude towards the media, never bowing his head, always holding his chin up.
Of course, this is also the reason why some media don't like him well.
"Do you know why I want to enter the professional boxing world?"
After the scene was quiet, Li Ba said in a cold voice: "Because you have not been truly fair, you are rejecting me, and I have not received the honor I deserve, so I want to create another world and let you play on your own Go, sir, I will not accompany you!"
The media is dumbfounded. Damn it, it’s just a small group of people who messed with you. What does it have to do with us?
"Hammer, this has nothing to do with us!" A reporter shouted.
Li Ba sneered and shouted loudly: "Then I can't control it. I only know one thing. During an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. When I encountered injustice, when my honor was hacked, you didn't Stand up, and you are complicit."
"Tie Hammer, you are too domineering!" a reporter shouted angrily.
"Haha, this is exactly my style. I'm used to it, don't you know? I think you're used to it. If you haven't, then I congratulate you. You don't have to get used to it in the future, because I have decided to leave. "Li Ba laughed loudly.
"Are you shrinking? Are you afraid?" a reporter shouted.
"Yeah, I flinched, because the right to speak is in the hands of the media, right? Now the uncle is going to fight, and I want to use my fists..."
Li Ba raised two huge fists and shouted loudly: "Create a world, whoever dares to block me, I will defeat him head-on!"
The media fell silent.
Li Ba also finished speaking, put down the microphone, and left the press conference hall.
"Sister Ziyi, I didn't expect you to sign WMA too?" Following behind Li Ba, Liu Yifei chatted with Zhang Ziyi.
Zhang Ziyi said excitedly: "Yifei, did Hammer also sign with the WMA?"
Liu Yifei shook her head and said, "I only signed this cross-border battle."
Zhang Ziyi was a little disappointed and said: "I thought he would enter Hollywood to develop. If he enters, with his popularity and influence, he might be the next Schwarzenegger, so we can follow suit."
"Hee hee! He definitely doesn't know how to act." Liu Yifei laughed.
The content of this press conference shocked the global sports and media circles.
Especially in the basketball and professional boxing circles, the reaction was particularly strong.
As soon as the news came out, Li Ba received a lot of calls.
People like Dayao, Marbury, Kobe, and Li Lianjie and Chenglong who were filming in the United States immediately called.
"Do you think playing basketball is not fun, and you want to play more serious sports?" Dayao said.
"When the uncle gets the world boxing champion gold belt, you will know that I am not just playing around." Li Ba said.
"Toad yawns, you speak loudly." Dayao teased.
"Just wait, sooner or later, I will use a pair of iron fists to conquer the entire heavyweight boxing world." Li Ba said with a smile.
When Li Lianjie called, the first thing he said was: "Hammer, is it real or fake?"
Li Ba yelled: "Brother Jie, you look down on me too much, can I fake a beating?"
"That's fine, save the ticket for me when the time comes, don't forget?"
"Okay, that's no problem."
"Tie Hammer, are you serious?" Cheng Long called and asked.
"Of course, can I still play fake ones?" Li Ba asked.
"You boy, don't you invite me to this press conference?" Cheng Long said.
"This was arranged by WMA, you are not from their company, so I didn't invite you." Li Ba said.
"Save the ticket for me, don't forget, if you want me to buy the ticket myself, I will turn against you." Cheng Long shouted.
"No problem." Li Ba smiled.
In the domestic capital, Director Li of the basketball management center was sleeping when his cell phone rang suddenly.
"In the middle of the night, who is this?"
He was woken up with a bad feeling, because calling in the middle of the night is usually not good.
Sure enough, when he answered the phone, his expression changed.
"Little bastard, I want to change jobs, there's no way!" He got anxious, turned over and got up.
"Old Li, what happened?"
His wife was also woken up, seeing him in a hurry, she hurriedly asked.
"Oh, it's all right, you go to sleep, I'll go outside and make a phone call." Director Li said, and immediately trotted out of the bedroom.
"Hello, Director Li?"
"Hammer, what do you want to do?"
"I didn't do anything?"
"No, you, what's the matter with boxing?"
"Oh, you get it. Yep, I'm going to fight in the offseason."
"Just one game?"
"Only one is scheduled for the time being."
"Oh, that's okay." Director Li breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "Let me tell you, Hammer, don't even think about changing jobs. You were targeted in 2008."
"Don't worry, Director Li, even if I jump out of the NBA, it has nothing to do with the national team." Li Ba laughed.
"That's alright, you should take care of the NBA affairs by yourself, put down your temper, it's not easy to get ahead outside, don't mess around."
Director Li hung up the phone after a few words of advice.
