NBA basketball rhythm monster
Chapter 23 Kickoff
As the most watched NCAA March Madness game in the United States, the popularity of the semifinals is naturally conceivable. In addition to the nearly 20,000 spectators at the scene, there are thousands of basketball fans watching the game on cable TV. grand occasion.
The NCAA can earn a lot of money every year just through broadcast rights, not to mention various sponsorships from sports brands.
Many NCAA athletes, especially African-American athletes, do not come from wealthy families. Their families can provide very little help during college, and they can only live off the scholarships awarded to them for their specialties.
Now the conflict arises. The entire NCAA league is very unfair. While it takes advantage of college students' competitions to make money, it does not allow athletes in the league to "take orders" to make money privately.
Every year, athletes complain that students should be given a share, but those who work part-time are better off than those who play capital. All the proposals have come to nothing.
College athletes are quitting, and with the dawn of the new millennium, the voices of resistance are becoming more intense.
A few years ago, after finishing high school, Guangdong star Mudiay gave up his college basketball career and moved to China to earn money for a year to participate in the draft, considering his family's financial situation.
Some even strike directly during games and training.
This has caused the entire NCAA to lose face and have to reconsider new economic distribution methods.
Finally starting on 7/1/21. College athletes will be able to benefit from the use of their name, image and likeness rights (nil).
This means that in the future, NCAA athletes can accept corporate sponsorships and participate in market and commercial activities, and college athletes can also use their identities to promote products, shoot advertisements, or participate in other endorsement activities.
But that is a matter for the future after all. Now, this most popular game in the United States has naturally attracted the attention of TNT and ESPN.
Charles Barkley, nicknamed "Flying Pig," a member of the Dream Team, multiple All-Stars, Jordan's friend, and the owner of Kenny's ass...
Of course, his normal status at the American Airlines Arena today is as a commentator for TNT.
Next to him was another colleague named Kenny. Although Kenny's career was obviously not as brilliant as the former star. But the fact that Kenny could wear two rings and wander around from time to time made Barkley feel. to the evil in the world.
Therefore, these two commentary partners often fight each other on the show, and the live broadcast effect of cross talk commentary is very good.
"Hi, Kenny, good evening, who do you favor in today's game?" Buck rate asked first.
"emmm... Your question is really difficult. You see, Duke University is worthy of being an NCAA elite school. It has been surprisingly stable since the beginning of the epidemic. In terms of scoring, starting point guard Williams averaged 10.4 points per game. It’s not a lot, but the team as a whole can get 20 assists every game, which is enough to show how good the chemistry of the entire team is.”
"So... I think the Texas Longhorns will win." Kenny said calmly.
"Hmm...Ah? Longhorn?"
"What? Is there a problem?" Kenny felt that his partner's brain was always not working well sometimes.
"Then what are you doing with your serious analysis just now? I also said that it would be great if you support Duke, and I happen to support the Longhorns?"
"Oh? It's rare that we have the same opinion. Come on, let's talk about the reasons. Duke University's style of play is very stable, which has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it won't easily overturn, but there is no star.
For them, no one can stand up and score at the critical moment. And the bigger the stage, the more such a player is needed to stand up."
"Although the Longhorns have strengths and weaknesses in their lineup, as long as the functional players are a little more stable and the substitutes are not too far behind, TJ and Lee can always step up and win the game."
"Yeah," Barkley agreed very much with Kenny's analysis, but for the effect of TNT's live broadcast, Barkley still struggled a little.
"It's not that easy, Master Kenny. In the last game, the Longhorns exposed the unsteady weaknesses of the rest of the team. They were beaten by Louisville in the first half. I don't know if they have adjusted well this time. How about you?"
Try to support Duke? Maybe they can do it today?"
"Seeing as your analysis is sound, why don't you go?" Kenny asked.
"Hey, didn't I take a fancy to that Chinese guy? Did you watch the last game where he came back and won?"
"Why didn't you watch it? Where can I miss the best game of the day in NCAA? The data of 31 points and 12 rebounds is too strong." Kenny responded.
"Kenny, this is how short-sighted you are." Buckley's pride was palpable at this time.
"That's right, you've never been the core of a team, so you don't know what it feels like. As soon as the second half started, this Chinese guy's style of play immediately changed. He attacked with a few ruthless and vicious attacks, which completely destroyed the psychedelic state of his teammates in the first half.
My consciousness was awakened, and the charm of this stadium reminded me of that person."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to think so highly of this kid. I originally thought it would be great if he could be as successful as his Chinese compatriots."
Buckley smiled contemptuously, "Although Yao asked me to kiss the donkey's butt, I really didn't kill him to avenge my personal revenge on the show. Li Luo's conditions are much better than Yao's at the time. Especially if he is the one who is the one responsible, this guy is rich.
He is a golden skill that cannot be bought, and the NBA team’s tactical books may have several extra pages because of him.”
"Wow, you're a genius from China. So this kid will be much better than you in the future. How many rings do you think he will have on his hand when he retires?"
As he spoke, Kenny Smith looked at his hands and muttered to himself: "At least you have to have two like me."
As soon as the words that provoked the war appeared, the studio suddenly became excited and lively.
The audience in front of the TV was feasting their eyes. They turned on the cable TV to watch a football game and listened to a cross talk, and the ratings continued to rise.
But the tournament organizer and the boss of TNT were extremely happy. More traffic means more wealth. This is so good. This Li Luo is just like the huge market behind him, making all team owners salivate.
"Toot...!" With the referee's whistle, all the players finally gathered on the court.
When greeting each other, Li Luo was very unhappy. He looked at the five people opposite him with eyes that he wished he could eat them alive.
There is no other reason. Winning or losing in sports games is normal, but playing dirty is too much.
When Li Luo drove the call girl to the door, he decided to teach her a good lesson.
This time Li Luo took the initiative to apply for a jump ball. Before the referee signaled the start, Li Luo spoke to the opponent's center:
"How much did you spend on that thing that night? Is it cheap?"
The person on the other side just smiled indifferently:
"Haha, didn't you fall into the trap too?"
"Very good, you succeeded in irritating me." After saying that, Li Luo stretched out four fingers.
"The game lasts forty minutes. I score one point per minute. Isn't that excessive?"
"Arrogant!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Li Luo's words made the person opposite him instantly furious, and a wave of questions about Zu An came to his face.
