NBA Backer King

  Chapter 265 Old K is doing sales on the All-Stars

"boom!"

  David Banteno hits Dan Marley's head and misses.

  Pharaoh grabbed the rebound and the Suns attacked.

   "Everyone's defense is strong today, and the outside touch is not very good, and they haven't scored yet!" Laetham said.

   "Now that the Suns are attacking, the old K should be attacking." Dort said.

  Perry pushed the ball across the halfway line and immediately gave it to Drexler, shifting point guard duties.

  The glider got the ball, but the Jazz didn’t switch. Jeff Hornacek’s defense was good, but he wasn’t high enough. It was only 191 cm and couldn’t guard against a 201 cm glider. Small forward David Benoit was still defending.

   Benoit is an undrafted player, with a standard basketball collar and average offense and defense. How can he defend against a glider that still has the power of a superstar?

   Under the tentative step, Drexler directly smashed the opponent, and when he reached the middle of the paint area, Donaldson came up to make up the defense, and he immediately threw the ball to the basket.

"boom!"

  Pharaoh jumped up, grabbed the ball with one hand, and smashed it forward. The Jazz's basket immediately splashed.

   The Postman, who was pulled out of the paint by Green, quickly returned to the basket and was already a step behind.

   "Finally scored." Dort laughed.

   "Yeah, I'm relieved for the Jazz and the Suns," Laetham teased.

  Dott shook his head and smiled: "It's impossible to defend Old K with a veteran like Donaldson, and his defense speed is not good either. He can't go back when he fills up on the sideline of the paint area."

The Jazz attacked, Jeff Hornacek and the Postman made a pick-and-roll and hit a mid-range shot.

   But looking back, Drexler made a false shot and broke through Benoit again.

   This time, Donaldson didn’t come out to make up the defense, so he stayed at the basket, and the glider passed the ball to Pharaoh, who was low on the left wing.

  Pharaoh took the ball, took a step into the paint area, and then exploded. He flew up against Donaldson, who was 135kg.

  Donaldson was old and heavy, and couldn't jump at all. Pharaoh jumped down and instantly formed a dive, and the two collided instantly.

   "Boom!"

"boom!"

   In the sound of the heavy body crash, Donaldson groaned and collapsed, and the Jazz's basket was also blasted again.

"Oh oh oh…"

   In the somewhat silent Delta Arena, only the cheers from the Suns bench remained.

   "Oh ho, great job! A dive bombing, the old K at that moment, he is the incarnation of B2." Dot roared excitedly.

  Letham also roared very excitedly: "In one of the most intense aerial confrontations, veteran Donaldson fell! He can't stand up! Old K once again hit his opponent in the harshest way.

   He is telling everyone in the cruelest way: Don't try to fight against me, all those who dare to fight against me will be completely destroyed by me, directly from the body! "

"damn it!"

   On the sidelines, Jazz coach Jerry Sloan waved his fist angrily, and then looked back at the bench reluctantly.

  Donaldson was injured. After the last time Old K hit Spencer, he was out of season, and this time he hit one of his backup centers. How can he prevent that **** old K?

   Do you really want the postman to guard against old age?

   The conflict between the postman and the old K was too great. He was very afraid of causing a conflict on the field, and he was also worried that the postman could not bear the kind of terror of the old K. If the postman was seriously injured like Spencer, then the Jazz would be all over.

   "Forget it, anyway, there is no competition with the Suns. We just need to maintain this momentum and make it to the top three, this game? Just give up, we can't fight with them, it's not worth it."

After    consideration, Jerry Sloan chose to give up.

This is also a helpless move. Both centers were injured under the old K. The previous season was reimbursed. Veteran Donaldson still doesn't know what the injury is. He has no one available at all. The trading window was closed yesterday. One was injured by old K, and he couldn't play in the playoffs at all, so he could only choose to give up.

  So, in this back-to-back game, the Suns successfully won this victory,

   This is a pleasant surprise. Originally, the Suns did not intend to do their best, but the Jazz surrendered themselves.

   In this way, before the All-Star team, the Suns completed 48 regular season games, 35 wins and 13 losses, temporarily maintaining the first position in the Western Conference.

   However, both Mosaic and Spurs have won successively, and the advantage is still limited, only half a game and one win.

   At noon on the 9th, the Suns returned to Phoenix.

   Starting from this day, the NBA also entered the annual All-Star Weekend time.

   A large number of stars began to come to Phoenix, some active and some retired.

   In addition, many Hollywood stars and fashion models also began to appear in the City of the Sun.

   The All-Star vote this time exploded, symbolizing the popularity of the NBA. There were also a lot of stars from all walks of life. It was the first time Phoenix had a star-studded scene.

   A large number of media reporters from all over the world also rushed here, chasing after all kinds of stars.

   Yu Feihong also flew over and will spend a week here.

The    martial arts hall is ready, and there is no grand opening ceremony, because Lao Wang is not ready to make this martial arts hall big, his original intention is to complete the task.

   On the evening of the 9th, Pharaoh and Kevin Johnson made an appointment to visit Danny Manning who had just undergone surgery.

  Dr. Carter's technique is very good, and the operation is very successful, but no one who has undergone two major knee surgeries can ever get back on the court, so even if the surgery is successful, Danny Manning is still in a very bad mood.

On the 10th day of   , Wang Tiejun's martial arts hall officially opened.

  The name of the martial arts hall is called K martial arts hall. The logo of K is simple and easy to remember, and it can also rub off the popularity of his nickname.

  Although there is no major event, there are still a lot of invited guests. The Suns from the management team to the coaching staff and players all came, dozens of people.

   There are also some business people from Phoenix and Arizona, as well as all his sponsors, including brands like Mammoth and Mercedes-Benz.

   In addition, he also invited some politicians, including three state legislators, all of whom have a good relationship with him and often appear in the American West Arena. Even the mayor of Phoenix showed up to congratulate Pharaoh himself.

   His influence in this state is good now, and a word can help them win a lot of votes.

  If he is an American, he retires in the future, and plans to enter politics, he will have a very good vote base in Arizona and Phoenix.

   There are also some Hollywood stars, some invited by themselves, and most of them were invited by Hoxman.

   "His!"

   Old Wang gritted his teeth and was pinched in the waist by Feihong sister.

   Yu Feihong said in a low voice, "Old K, why did you invite them here?"

   "I didn't invite them. Hawksman sent invitation text messages to all the Hollywood stars under CAA in Phoenix. They came by themselves. I really didn't contact them." Pharaoh explained in a low voice.

   "Group hair?" Yu Feihong rolled his eyes.

   "Hey, old K..."

  Julia Roberts walked over generously, stretched out her hand and smiled: "Congratulations, you just made me $100,000."

   "Haha... Julia, what are you doing in V? I'm mainly suitable for athletes here, so service projects are of no use to you?" he said.

   "Are you asking me to come empty-handed? By the way, you have to join in the premiere of my new film." Roberts smiled.

   "Of course, you will call me then."

   Lao Wang nodded and smiled: "Julia, I will have a medicated bath service here in the future, you can try it later, it will make your body healthier."

   "Oh, that's going to be a try." Roberts laughed.

Lao Wang quickly introduced Yu Feihong again and said, "Julia, this is my girlfriend Yu Feihong, she is with you, there is a film and television company in our country, you can cooperate if there is a chance, and she can invest in your new film. "

  Yu Feihong stayed for a while, well, my film and television company only exists in my thoughts, and you blew it for me here without a word?

"certainly."

  Roberts nodded, smiled and shook hands with Yu Feihong.

   "Old K, you have a good eye. She is very temperamental and beautiful." After complimenting her, she walked away.

   "Hey, old K, is this your new girlfriend?"

  Wonona Reid came over, glanced at Yu Feihong, and said angrily: "I'm here to cheer you up, and I have to pay a membership fee of 100,000 yuan. What kind of breaking the rules?"

   "Oh, yes, this is Yu Feihong, my girlfriend."

   Under the watchful eye of Yu Feihong, Lao Wang introduced it formally, and then explained: "Weinona, the membership fee must have been mistaken, and the service items I have here are really not suitable for you."

   "What the fat man said, if you want to come in, you have to pay." Reid pointed to Buckley who was walking over just after paying the money.

  Buckley for a moment, did I say that? I clearly said that if you want to enjoy the VIP service, you have to pay. You are an actor, how do you read the script with this understanding ability?

   "Okay, Weinona, I'll arrange for someone to return it to you immediately, I'm very sorry." Pharaoh hurried to remedy.

   "That's not necessary, it's my gift." Reid shook his head.

   Finally managed to fool the difficult Reid, and in February, the old king was sweating all over his back.

   At this moment, a tall black fat man appeared outside the iron gate, and was blocked by the big dream who was paying the money at the gate.

   "Hakim, what are you doing?" O'Neal asked curiously.

   "Pay the money to join the club."

  Dameng glanced at Fatty, took the VIP card handed over by the financial lady, raised it, and said to O'Neal, "With it, you will never be caught by fishbone again."

  “…”

  O'Neill looked sluggish, looking at the big dream like an idiot. I don't eat fish with spines, so I will never be stuck by fish bones.

The lady at the front desk is a black lady with excellent eloquence and a very positive attitude towards work. She fooled several guests into paying their money just now. Now that she saw O'Neal, her eyes lit up and she asked enthusiastically, "Mr. O'Neal, do you want to join the club? The annual VIP membership fee of this museum is 30,000 US dollars, with a discount of 10,000 US dollars for three years, and only 100,000 US dollars are needed, and you can enjoy various value-preserving VIP services…”

   "30,000 a year, 100,000 in three years, you can really save 10,000!"

  O'Neal is a little moved. It's a **** if you don't take advantage of it, but it's still a little expensive. I can't let old K take advantage of me.

   At ten o'clock, the lion dance started.

   This is a lion dance team specially invited from Chinatown in Los Angeles. There are not many Chinese in Phoenix, and there are not many international students. There is no lion dance team.

   At 10:18, Pharaoh used a red pen to paint the lion's eyes, then tore off the red cloth covering the signboard, and blew up a few firecrackers outside, thus completing the opening ceremony.

   Next is free time. This place has become a social place, and a buffet is also arranged at noon, so you can stay here until the afternoon.

   He took a moment to look at the system, and it was already prompted that the task was completed. The reward was that the scope of application of the two prescriptions was expanded to everyone, and another 300 points were given.

   "Three hundred points for opening a second career?"

   He secretly complained and opened the prompt given by the system.

   "Inform the host that the two prescriptions are adjusted by this system according to the host's constitution, and have the greatest effect on the host, and the effect on others will not exceed 50% of the host's effect."

   "The highest effect is only 50%, so the price cannot be set high."

   After careful consideration, he settled on the price of the medicinal bath.

  The medicine bath is simple, send the medicine package, and the customer can boil it himself, one thousand dollars a time. Medicated oil massage is very troublesome, and the price is more expensive, three thousand dollars, more than the labor cost.

   He took the time to go to the front desk to ask about the finances. There are more than 100 guests, and there are already 87 VIP members, who have received a total of $5.53 million in membership fees.

   He took a look at the list. There are many Hollywood stars of CAA who came to support him. All of his sponsors, some people from the business and political circles, are among them.

   "I'm X, my salary is only 2.36 million this season, this business is doing well!" He couldn't help sighing.

The guests he invited are all rich people, either businessmen or celebrities. Even those politicians are rich people. If you don’t have money in the United States, don’t play politics. It’s actually not surprising to receive these membership fees. He analyzed it.

   But the martial arts hall still needs to recruit people, at least ten people, specializing in massage.

   As for the medicated oil, he intends to have it done in his hometown and then come over. The domestic wage level is still quite low, which can save a lot of costs.

   "How much did you charge?"

   Yu Feihong felt something was wrong when he saw Pharaoh's appearance, so he came over and asked quietly.

   "Not much, just over five million dollars," he said.

   Brother Fei twitched the corners of his eyes, is this not much? All forty million yuan.

In 1993, the highest box office of domestic films was the imported Hollywood blockbuster "Desperados", which was only 25.8 million yuan. In 1994, the highest box office was 103 million yuan for "True Lies". "Hongfan District" is so popular in China, it is estimated that the box office is 30 to 40 million yuan. You make so much money from the entrance fee of this martial arts hall?

Seeing Yu Feihong's appearance, Lao Wang quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't lose money, I still have a fee-based project behind me, if the operation is good, it is not a problem to earn several million dollars a year, if the effect is good, I can earn more. ."

   Yu Feihong gave Pharaoh a white look, am I worried that you will lose money? I'm afraid you will cheat.

   But to be honest, she is really afraid that Lao Wang will lose money, because she knows Lao Wang, this guy has no education, secondary school education, elementary school level, and his brain is not very good, so random investment will suffer a lot.

   But she also had to admire Pharaoh's luck. CAA took a fancy to finding a basketball agent. Looking at the Hollywood stars who came to cheer, she noticed it just now, and almost all of them bought VIP.

   The next day, Liu Changjiang and Wang Tieshu flew to Los Angeles to purchase the needed medicinal materials in Chinatown.

   There is also a finance miss, a graduate student from Peking University who immigrated from China a few years ago, and also works as a translator.

   As for the business of the martial arts hall, under Feihong's suggestion, a most professional salesman has been hired to recruit business for the martial arts hall, such as schools and police stations, which are all potential business targets.

   On this day, the NBA All-Star Weekend officially begins.

   On the evening of the 12th, the three-point contest and the Rookie Challenge were held in sequence.

In the    three-point contest, Glen Rice won the first place with 17 points.

   On the evening of the 13th, the All-Star Game.

  Eastern All-Star starters: Shaquille O'Neal, Hill, Pippen, Jordan, Anfernee Hardaway

  Eastern All-Star Head Coach: Brian Hill (Magic head coach)

   Western All-Star starters: Wang Tiejun, Barkley, Sean Kemp, Sprewell, Tim Hardaway

  Western All-Star Head Coach: Paul Westphal (Suns head coach)

The head coach is the head coach of the team with the best record in the East and West, but last year's Eastern All-Star head coach was the Bulls head coach Phil Jackson, who cannot be re-elected this year, so the Magic head coach, who has the second record in the Eastern Conference this season, will take over. .

  The Western All-Star locker room is the home team's locker room for the Suns. At this time, all the Western All-Stars are changing clothes inside, and other staff are on it.

   The names of former Suns players have been replaced by the names of these All-Stars, each with a wardrobe.

   Generally speaking, the wardrobe closest to the locker room door is in the best position and is the most convenient to access. The leader of the team is this position.

   But Pharaoh's wardrobe is the second one. The first is Kevin Johnson. The Lightning has far more seniority in the Suns than him. The Lightning is old now, and he will not fight for this thing.

  When he first entered the Suns, the second wardrobe belonged to Barkley. After Barkley left, he took up the vacancy left by Barkley.

   But today he didn't fight for the first wardrobe, and gave it to Barkley to show respect.

   The two are sitting together at the moment, changing their clothes, and chatting, mainly because Pharaoh is promoting the VIP service items of K Wuguan to Barkley.
