"Sales dividend?"
Gao Yuanyuan's eyes lit up when he heard these words.
Money is one aspect. If he can get this item, then Li Ba's status will be completely different from before.
Just, are you eligible? Have it? have!
There is no one who averaged double 20 plus 5*5 in the regular season, who has?
"I'll communicate with Mr. Duffy right away, and start negotiating with Li Ning." She said excitedly.
"Don't worry, the contract is not over yet, and it's not too late to talk about it next season. If I can successfully defend my title, and if I can win a world champion belt during the offseason, then we will be more confident." Li Ba smiled. road.
"What's your opinion on the negotiations between Nike and Adidas? After all, Li Ning's company is not strong enough. What if he can't win your contract? The amount set by Mr. Duffy and I is not low, so we must How many spare tires are there?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.
"Li Ning can't do it here, let's talk about it." Li Ba didn't ask how much the endorsement fee was set for him, he asked: "Are there other companies?"
"We're all talking. We're talking to several groups of people every day. In addition to the sneaker contract, some of your previous sponsorship and endorsement contracts have expired. All brands below the first-line will be eliminated, and the rest will be re-negotiated, and then there will be new ones. The contract needs to be negotiated. I have finished the negotiation here, and I have to go back to China to continue the negotiation. So embarrassing, you have played such abnormal statistics, and your status has suddenly been elevated, and you have the momentum to be second to none in the basketball world." Gao Yuanyuan said.
"That's right, otherwise what would I do with it?" Li Ba smiled triumphantly.
"Now we don't need to do anything, a lot of resources are coming to you, including many investment opportunities." Gao Yuanyuan said.
"You help me see it. I don't want any messy investment opportunities." Li Ba urged.
This afternoon, Li Ba took the girl to the team headquarters and brought back a big bag of tickets, and handed it to the girl for her to handle.
This time there are so many celebrities asking for tickets in China, which can be regarded as accumulating contacts for Xianbei Company, and Li Ba is satisfied one by one.
Let the girl drive home alone, Li Ba stayed and participated in the pre-match tactics meeting.
In a large conference room at headquarters, everyone involved was present.
Frank stood at the front and said, "After we reach the second round, we will definitely meet the Lakers. If we win the Lakers, we will definitely meet the Spurs. In today's meeting, let's discuss how to beat the Mavericks."
Li Ba said lazily at this time: "Frank, we should discuss how to beat the Lakers today."
"Haha..." Everyone laughed.
Frank glared at Li Ba with a smile, and said with a smile: "Be serious, Hammer, if your words get out, the media will say that we are too crazy and don't pay attention to the Mavericks."
"Yes, the Mavericks are still very strong," Colangelo said.
"Right." Boss Savor nodded again and again.
Li Ba smiled and said, "Okay, let's discuss now, should we sweep the Mavericks, or stay a game and return to the home court to win them?"
"Haha..." Everyone laughed again.
Frank and the others laughed helplessly.
"Hammer, don't be careless." Colangelo said with a smile.
Li Ba nodded and said, "Don't worry, Jerry, I'm sure I won't be careless. You don't understand the meaning of despising the enemy strategically and paying attention to the enemy tactically. You can learn from Mao Xuan when you have time." , that's a good thing."
Finally, after Frank briefly explained the tactics against the Mavericks, the Suns really started to discuss how to play against the Lakers.
Frank said: "Judging from this season's games, the Lakers are still playing a triangle tactic.
In their triangle tactics, because of the change of Yao's position, there are two types, one is low position and the other is high position. Then if we fight against us, Yao will definitely be at a high position. Whether Yao is high or low, he is the absolute axis of offense, and the ball will pass through his hands first.
What we have to do is to control him to the greatest extent and destroy this offensive axis. "
At this time in Los Angeles, the Lakers are also holding a tactical meeting.
Phil Jackson said: "We won the first place in the Western Conference, which is good, but it also has a consequence. We must face the Suns in the second round. They cannot lose to the Mavericks."
"Then kill Hammer." Kobe said coldly.
Phil Jackson nodded and said: "Yao, when facing the Suns, you must attract the Hammers' defense in the high position. Battelle, Andrew Bynum, your task is to entangle the Hammers and nothing else Dry……"
That night, Li Ba invited guests to dinner. Li Lianjie, Cheng Long, Jay Chou, and Chen Daoming also came over this time. This was just the main thing. There were as many as 20 or 30 other stars.
These people contacted Xianbei Company first, and then organized a group to come here.
"Tie Hammer, I will trouble you again this year. I became addicted to watching it last year, and I can't quit." Chen Daoming laughed as soon as we met.
"Why quit it? Teacher Chen, as long as you have time." Li Ba smiled.
"Tie Hammer, is there any hope of defending the title this year? I think Dayao is very strong?" Li Lianjie said.
"Hey, I'm surprised, why didn't you go to the Lakers?" Li Ba asked doubtfully.
"Aren't you the boss of the Suns? To the Lakers, we are afraid that Dayao won't get so many tickets?" Jay Chou laughed.
"Haha..." Everyone laughed.
But Chenglong said: "I don't know about them. Anyway, I like to watch your defense. Those big caps are super exciting. Don't you think so?"
When he asked, everyone joined together.
"Heavy dunks are also super good. I really hope to see you smash a backboard with the hammer someday." At this moment, a black kid shouted.
Li Ba took a look, but didn't recognize him.
Jay Chou introduced: "The one over there is nicknamed Negro, Chen Jianzhou."
Li Ba nodded and said, "Don't use this nickname here, just call it by name, so as not to cause misunderstanding."
"Yes, yes, yes." Jay Chou nodded repeatedly.
On the 22nd, the first playoff series of the 2005-06 season officially started.
That night, the Lakers played against the Kings for the first time.
This season's Lakers, because of the existence of the Big Three, played the No. 1 record in the Western Conference and became the most popular and most watched team in the league.
The entire league, because of Li Ba's super-horrific statistics and his brutal defensive performance, has attracted a lot of attention and enthusiasm, so it can be different from him.
Before the game, Li Ba called.
"In the locker room?"
"Um."
"Are you nervous to hear your voice?"
"No, no."
"You're nervous about beating the king, but you won't kneel when you beat us in the second round?"
"Wow, Hammer, you want to be beaten, don't you?"
"Stephen and Kobe next to you?"
"I'm here, Hammer."
"Boy, what do you want to say?"
"OK, I have something to tell you, I hope you can enter the second round smoothly, and then... be slaughtered by us!"
"Damn it!" Kobe jumped up.
"Puchi!"
Marbury laughed when he thought of Li Ba's arrogant appearance.
"Tie Hammer, we will definitely kill you!" Dayao said angrily.
