Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

Chapter 990: Zuo Ke joins forces, the tour league starts

"Kobe, let's join forces to make a big deal!"

"Uh... well, speak slowly, I'm afraid." Looking at Zuo Li with bright eyes, Kobe swallowed.

He just asked about Zuo Li's vacation plan, mainly to see if he could do some training together. After all, there are not many guys who can train crazier than him, and training with Zuo Li has always been very effective. That's why Kobe had a question.

But... it seems... Zuo Li was inspired by this sentence to think something else...

"You know, it's a mess out there right now, the players, the league, the owners are fighting each other, and they're pretty much ruining basketball, and honestly, that's not what we play basketball for."

Zuo Li's words made Kobe nod silently.

He is right.

Now the fans are heartbroken by this series of NBA operations. What is wrong with them? As the league, the parents of the players, they don't care about those **** interests, they just want to watch the game.

But obviously, this small request has gradually become a luxury. The new season is likely to be delayed indefinitely, and there is even a risk of being canceled directly.

This is undoubtedly a great harm to the fans. Now many fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with the NBA, and many people even said that they would not watch the NBA if the suspension lasts too long.

Whether it is angry words or not, the impact of this wave of lockouts on the NBA is definitely very negative.

but…

What does this have to do with them?

Kobe admitted that Zuo Li and he are both very influential stars, and they have certain influence in the league and even the whole society.

But this kind of influence is not enough to change everything, they can't even speak freely in this turmoil.

"Since that's the case, why don't we organize some ball games ourselves, that kind of pure basketball for fans to watch." Zuo Li said his purpose.

"Also, we can get those guys together. After they are on vacation, they must want some games and training to maintain their state. Well, we can do that."

"From New York, we can go all the way to Los Angeles, New Jersey, Boston, even some small cities, you know, this summer will be very long, if we don't do something, it will be too boring."

The more Zuo Li talked, the more he felt that it was feasible, and finally stood up.

In fact, this is not his idea. In fact, this summer in history is the hottest time in the civilian league.

The closure of the NBA in 2011, in addition to affecting the subsequent regular season, preseason games and preseason training camps were directly suspended, which also made players at a loss for a while. And every summer, some players would train independently, or even spontaneously participate in some local competitions. Stars who might not otherwise appear on the offseason schedule often join these local events. From time to time, there will be star players touring all over the United States, and local sports tubes may suddenly gather stars. Suddenly, the atmosphere of top street basketball is permeated across the United States. Some areas that were not very valued by the NBA also made basketball popular in the local area because of the tour games of the stars.

It's just that most of these events are held separately, the influence is still too small, and the influence of the participating stars is not too great, and Zuo Li means to directly organize a group of big names, touring in various places, and doing activities on the one hand , On the one hand, give back to the fans, and also maintain your own state.

"Good boy! That's a good idea!" Kobe was also persuaded. To be honest, at first Kobe just wanted to train together, at most a training camp, but obviously, he was also infected by Zuo Li's passion.

"It's just that, where are we going to get so many players to participate..." Kobe stroked his beard. He doesn't have so many friends. The Lakers probably do, but not many... For example, Lao Yu, who is the chairman of the union, is still busy with The alliance is playing in the ring.

"Ha, it's too easy. Let's do one or two games first. Then, there will naturally be a steady stream of guys who want to join us. At that time, we should have too many headaches." Zuo Li On the contrary, he is very confident. As long as this thing is done, he is afraid that no one will come?

Kobe still doesn't understand how much players desire for the court and exposure.

Now that it has been decided, Zuo Li and Kobe are both willing to do what they say. That night, Rich Paul was summoned by Zuo Li, and he took the order to go the next day. The court, sponsorship and other things outside the court It will be Rich Paul.

Zuo Li and Kobe are in charge of contacting the manpower. In fact, the manpower is very easy to handle. It is not too easy for Zuo Li to recruit a dozen players casually. Lack of.

And for the effect of the show, Zuo Li and Kobe made an agreement that they would each form a team, and then a month later, they would have a showdown in New York!

So Zuo Li directly called Shaq who was at home and was about to retire.

Kobe and Shaq, Zuo Li can't wait!

"Hey, Shaq, do you want to have a big game before retiring?"

Shaq: "...huh?"

Subsequently, Zuo Li contacted Ray Allen, Duncan, Parker, Paul...

In just one day, Zuo Li, who was still on vacation, organized a team of 10 people. He still didn't forget to send a text message to Kobe. The content was concise and concise: "Wait for you to lose."

Kobe also simply replied: "Fart! The loser is definitely you."

Click to delete.

Zuo Li didn't even look at what Kobe posted, anyway, he was having a good time.

In the following month, Zuo Li and Ao Mei went on vacation, and then went to China with his team to participate in the China tour.

This time he brought Curry with him. This is also the first time that the two generals under AND1 joined together to participate in the China tour.

Curry was very excited. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com even studied Chinese overnight. Although Zuo Lixiao was almost stunned by a sentence of "mud howling" in China, the effect was extraordinary in China.

And Curry was also pleasantly surprised to find that he already has a lot of fans in China.

Seven days later, the trip to China was successfully concluded, and Zuo Li returned to New York to start dealing with business matters.

On July 20th, Zuo Li's second pair of signature sneakers, the ZL2 generation, was released globally simultaneously, and 3.5 million pairs of sneakers were snapped up by excited fans, setting a record for the first-day sale of NBA personal signature shoes in the past ten years.

On the same day AND1 opened its largest flagship store in Manhattan, Zuo Li appeared on the platform, attracting more than 500,000 fans throughout the day, and the single-day turnover exceeded 500,000 US dollars, making the world feel Zuo Li's influence again.

The fans were naturally cheered, but they also attracted criticism.

Many players said that Zuo Li should use his influence to do something.

League officials also contacted Zuo Li and asked him to come out and preside over the situation.

But no matter what others said, Zuo Li didn't take over, and continued to complete his summer arrangements step by step.

On July 31, Sister Ka's first solo album was released, and Zuo Li appeared on the platform again as the boss. This surprised many people, and Zuo Li had a side job in the music industry.

On August 1st, Zuo Li returned to New York. At the same time, planes from all over the world carrying stars from all over the world landed at New York International Airport one after another...
