American Fortune Life

Since the Rockets broke through the first round and determined that their opponent was the Lakers, almost everyone believed that it was difficult for the Rockets to advance, and there was little hope of winning away games. But this does not prevent the live broadcast between the Rockets and the Lakers from becoming one of the highest-rated sports programs.

The US "Sports Illustrated" recently proposed that there are 63 reasons to watch the NBA, and six of them involve the Rockets. They think that the NBA should thank Dayao, because he is the guarantee of the ratings of the entire league. With a population of 1.3 billion, one-third of the people in China are currently paying attention to the NBA. In fact, they are all paying attention to one person, that is the giant of the Rockets. Dayao, the league got higher ratings because of him.

The latest convincing data comes from the playoffs between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers. In the Portland area alone, the ratings of the second game reached an astronomical 27.5%, and the ratings in the United States were as high as 21.4. %, which completely overwhelmed NBC's ace reality show "America's Got Talent", which aired at the same time period, which was only 10.8%.

"Compared with other NBA broadcasts and programs, there is no doubt that the content of Dayao and the Rockets is more valuable and valuable in Tianchao." On the seat, he looked enviously at the smiling Andy Smith. "If the Rockets die in the regular season, the impact on the commercial brands endorsed by Yao Ming in China and the many domestic brands that employ Rockets stars as endorsements is basically equivalent to that of the financial crisis."

"Ha ha..."

Everyone laughed, and one of the investors with a Chinese face said with a smile: "Yao Qianshu is not aimless, how could Andy do a business that loses money? I think that when Andy bought the Rockets, he saw the big market of the Celestial Dynasty. Bar?"

"That's right." Andy didn't hide it, but shrugged and admitted directly, "Isn't there a saying that Dayao is "the largest export commodity of the Chinese Empire", so I, as the exclusive agent, can naturally make money. "

"Ha ha..."

"Pfft—"

Everyone laughed again, even He Chaoqiong and Li Fuzhen shook their heads and laughed, Cui Shao lost no time to smile and asked: "Boss, is Dayao the leader of the team?"

"Hehe, I don't know if it's the boss, but it's definitely the most special one in the Rockets." Andy smiled lightly. He knew that all Dayao's compatriots were very concerned about Dayao's other situations in the Rockets. Even Yao Hei is happy to see Dayao excel in the NBA.

"I have been delegating the management rights of the Rockets, and I basically do not interfere with the management and operation of the management. The locker room of the team is a restricted area for everyone except the players. It is a private space for the players. I want to be the leader of the team. , is not easy."

"Dayao is not American, which makes it very difficult for him to take on this role." Hearing what Andy said, one of the investors nodded and said, "Also, I read some reports, saying that he doesn't talk much and prefers to do things in silence. Take care of your own business, this will definitely not work.”

"Hehe, in these aspects, Dayao has made great progress. As far as I know, everyone likes Dayao, including his teammates. The management hopes that he can contribute more things, besides scoring and rebounding , and leadership, just like the temperament of the Olympics." Andy said with a smile.

Although he is very clear that Dayao has no hope of getting the boss position in the locker room. Although Dayao is not an American, what is more important is the problem of personality and temperament. Yao is the second boss who is respected and reliable by his teammates,

It is the most suitable.

After all, the current Rockets are not in the era of Yao Mai. Whether it is Chauncey or Little Melon, they are not good at meowing. If Changxi had the support and support of Dayao and other people, Little Melon would have thought about it a long time ago. Grabbing class and seizing power.

Saying that everyone on the team likes Dayao is not a flattery, nothing to say, because becoming a teammate of Dayao, whether it is Chauncey, Little Melon, or the evil leader Artest, has greatly benefited, received Many Chinese advertisers have contracts, how could they not like Dayao who can bring them benefits and Chinese fans.

After a five-hour flight, when Andy and his team arrived in Los Angeles, it was already around two o'clock in the afternoon in Los Angeles. After everyone left the airport by car and drove into downtown Los Angeles, they intuitively felt the atmosphere of the playoffs. There were Los Angeles Lakers everywhere. The team's flag, and the fans wearing the Lakers jerseys, do not seem to be affected by the current raging Influenza A.

Although this season, the Rockets have used their actions to prove that those predictions about their playoff curse are not true, and even though the Rockets have expressed that they do not care about the role of the weak side in this series, it is objective and reasonable for the Lakers to be optimistic about the outside world. .

In fact, the Lakers won it all with their performance. In the regular season, they dominated the entire Western Conference and also swept the Cavaliers with the best record in the league. The Rockets were also almost swept by the Lakers. In four confrontations with the Zijin Army, the Rockets lost three and won one. This result is enough to make those ball critics and Lakers fans think that the Lakers should win this series.

However, Andy believes that so much of his investment will not be in vain. The Rockets are no longer the Rockets. He believes that the Rockets can do better. The Lakers' defense may limit the Rockets' passing. Even with the clamor of the diehard Lakers fans in Staples, the opponent may play a wave of offensive frenzy, but Andy believes that under any blow, This Rockets team can respond.

Andy didn't take the guests back to his little Palace of Versailles, but let them stay in the Four Seasons Hotel. It wasn't that Andy didn't want to entertain them at home, but lived in the hotel, which was convenient for everyone.

Looking at various Los Angeles media reports that Kobe missed the team's routine training due to a sore throat, and Dayao missed the Rockets' training due to a sore left ankle, it is really dumbfounding. It is clear that Americans pay attention to sports and entertainment.

"Dayao isn't really injured, is he?"

"Hehe, how could it be? It's all smoke bombs. They will be warming up at the Clippers' training facility in the afternoon. Are you interested in going to see it?" Andy said with a smile in the presidential suite.

"That's a good feeling..."

"Will it delay their training?"

"Will it be too much trouble for you?"

"Hehe, don't bother me. Originally, I wanted to check on their status and give some words of encouragement." Andy said with a smile, "However, let's go separately. Those annoying and crazy paparazzi and reporters are definitely big Trouble, I think, you will never like it."

The three Tianchao investors couldn't help but stare blankly, then looked at each other, nodded and said: "Indeed, it will be very troublesome."

He Chaoqiong and Li Fuzhen, who were also harassed by paparazzi and reporters wherever they went, also nodded slightly with a frown, and did not express any objection.

As Andy expected, when his team appeared in the Clippers training facility and got out of the car, it immediately caused a commotion. The paparazzi and reporters swarmed Andy, even though Andy's bodyguards formed a protective circle. , still unable to stop the crazy excitement of these paparazzi, the flashing lights flashed together, and the shouts of various questions made the scene a hustle and bustle.

There is no way, recently, Andy has been making troubles all over the world, but the American media can't get any news, and they are going crazy. This time they finally caught him, how could they let him go so easily? This group of reporters was red-eyed, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. They didn't care about the shoving and warnings from Andy's bodyguards. They completely blocked the door of the training hall, making it difficult for Andy to move forward.

He Chaoqiong and Li Fuzhen, who were still sitting in the car at this time, were worried about the chaotic scene, but they also intuitively felt the popularity and attention of Andy Smith's "world superstar".

Andy was feeling a little uncomfortable being squeezed by the crowd at this time, but he also knew that the group of American paparazzi and reporters were 'starved' by him, and they would not let it go if they didn't satisfy themselves.

"!"

Andy raised his arms and yelled a few times, trying to control what was a little out of control.

As he spoke, the crazy reporters knew that their goal had been achieved, and slowly quieted down, staring at Andy Smith, who was surrounded by them, with hungry eyes, waiting for the next step.

"Old rules, three questions! Ask after you have thought about it. It is best not to ask any messy questions!" Andy stretched out three fingers calmly, and said in a clear voice, not caring about the dissatisfaction of some paparazzi Noisy.

"Mr. Smith, in the Western Conference semifinals between the Rockets and the Lakers, most of them are optimistic about the Lakers. Before the game, the United States once formed a team of dozens of experts to predict the game. Among them, only one person is optimistic about the Rockets, and even several Experts predict that the Rockets will be swept by the Lakers 4-0. How do you see..."

It wasn't just that reporter who was very thug, shouted out his own question at the top of his voice when everyone was making noise, which made the other reporters and paparazzi who reacted almost vomit blood angrily, gritted their teeth and looked at the excited blushing, The recording pen passed through the protective circle of the bodyguards with difficulty, trying to bring it to Andy's mouth, but the cold-faced Martin stretched out his hand.

"Whoever underestimates the Rockets will pay the price. Whoever underestimates a champion's heart will become a stepping stone to the championship. We are not afraid of any opponent!

As for underestimating the results of the regular season, I can only say that the regular season is the regular season, and the playoffs are the playoffs. The two are not comparable at all. Everything depends on strength. If predictions are useful, then there is no need By the way, expert predictions? Hehe, those so-called experts are used to be slapped in the face by facts! "

Andy's expression was stern, he raised his chin slightly, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a sneer, his face was full of arrogance, and he spoke in extremely sharp words.

There was an uproar at the scene, and the reporters and paparazzi trembled with excitement when they heard Andy's explosive answer.
