NBA Absolute Flood Control Dam - Chapter 1375
Their meeting has been checked by the media, and when they left the hotel at the end of the meeting, they were blocked by the media outside the hotel.
“Hammer, are you going to join the New York Jets?”
“Hammer, you don’t enter the NFL as a draft, is this an unfairness to other rookies?”
“Johnson, is the Hammer sure to join your team?”
“Hammer, are you sure you can adapt to the NFL?”
“Hammer, you don’t have a foundation in football. Do you think you will succeed in the NFL? What if you don’t?”
The excited media immediately raised various questions.
“Sorry, this is just an informal meeting.” Goodall refused to disclose any information.
It is not that he does not want to use this news to expand Li Ba’s influence in joining the NFL. He just wants to whet the appetite of the media.
Leaving the hotel and returning to the hotel where he stayed, Li Ba contacted Gaoyuanyuan on the phone and explained the situation, because the follow-up negotiations require the Gaoyuanyuan team to follow up.
“Five-year sponsorship contract of 250 million US dollars? You can make more money again.” Gao Yuanyuan quipped.
“Can I still make Adi lose money?” Li Ba smiled.
“Of course not, you continue to maintain influence in the sports world, even if Adi is not involved in rugby, it is equally good in the field of basketball, tennis and boxing.” Gao Yuanyuan said.
“What month is your son? At the end of August, right? Then I may not have time to return to China.” Li Ba said.
“It’s ok……”
The two chatted for a while and ended the call.
At this time, Bill Duffy called and said that he had contacted the real estate agent and went to see the villa for Li Ba, and then told him that the media was now hyping the news about him joining the NFL and the Jets.
Li Ba turned on his mobile phone and browsed it, and it was indeed a lot of speculation.
Not only in the United States, but also in the world’s major media, including domestically.
The title of a domestic media article is: “Is the hammer joining the NFL, is this a lion invading, or is it a tiger?”
Li Ba probably took a look. Most of the media don’t think he is in the NFL.
Jordan accepted a telephone interview from the media and said: “The Hammer’s physical condition is good. Even in the NFL, he is also top-notch in certain positions, but that doesn’t mean he can succeed because he doesn’t have any football at all. technology.”
At the same time the media also interviewed NFL superstar Peyton Manning.
Peyton Manning is 36 years old, NFL top quarterback, Super Bowl MVP winner, and last year signed a maximum salary contract with the Denver Broncos, $96 million in five years, is a famous American football superstar.
He was born in a rugby family, his father and brother are both NFL players. In 2011, he was given up by the Colts because of neck surgery, and then joined the Broncos with a maximum salary.
When interviewing the media, he said: “I think his decision to join the NFL with Hammer may be a bit too hasty.
Of course, I know that in addition to basketball, he has also achieved very good results in boxing and tennis events, but after all he is 31 years old and has no rugby foundation. It is very difficult to start again. I think he needs to restart. Consider this question. “
In addition to them, there are many basketball and rugby superstars who have expressed their opinions on this matter.
Basically, no one thinks that Li Ba will achieve results in this sport.
The reason is, as Jordan and Manning said, time is not forgiving, and the NFL is the most antagonistic ball game in the world. Li Ba has no foundation and the possibility of success is too small.
The media is the same. They don’t think Li Ba will succeed. They think this is a bad decision.
However, Li Ba and the NFL did not stop, and the subsequent contract negotiations proceeded steadily. By the 24th, the contract could be signed.
“Hammer, did you really go to the NFL?” Dayao called.
“Can this be fake? Have you returned home?” Li Ba asked.
“No, now the Celtics want to trade me, Yuanyuan’s men have to talk to the team, I don’t want to be here, maybe I will buy out my contract.”
Dayao is a bit helpless and authentic.
“Then you decide for yourself. With your current state, the contract is a bit big, and it’s hard to eat at the next house.” Li Ba said.
Yao’s condition has declined a bit. At the age of 33, a large center like him can no longer withstand the NBA’s physical activity, and the wear of his feet and knees is getting worse. It is time to end his career.
On the 26th, the date of the NBA’s 2013 draft, Goodell also chose this day as the day when the New York Jets and Li Ba signed.
NFL and Adi came forward and invited dozens of mainstream media from the world to participate in this signing ceremony.
CCTV was naturally invited to participate, but it was a bit difficult to select candidates, because CCTV had never broadcast a rugby game, and without a commentator in this area, it had to send an interview team to deal with it.
And CCTV immediately held a director-level meeting, the topic is whether CCTV will broadcast NFL games, and whether to reduce the NBA broadcast rules.
“Hammer, I’m here to cheer you up.”
Before signing the contract, when leaving the hotel, Marbury appeared in front of Li Ba.
“Then go together.” Li Ba smiled.
“You are amazing. You don’t play the NBA, tennis and boxing anymore. Now you are playing the NFL again. Which event do you want to play in the future?”
Exclaimed Marbury.
“Look, I should have played this in recent years. I won’t leave if I don’t make a name for myself.” Li Ba said with a smile.
“Are you really confident?” Marbury said in surprise.
“That is, let me tell you, I won’t really retire if I’m less than fifty years old.” Li Ba smiled.
“Blow it.” Marbury said in an angry manner.
On this day, Li Ba completed the signing ceremony in New York. He received a rookie contract from the Jets. It was $62.5 million in 4 years, including a signing bonus of $50 million. The real salary was only $12.5 million, 3 million a year. A little more dollars.
The signing bonus certainly surprised the media, but considering Li Ba’s status in the sports world, it was nothing special, but the sponsorship contract signed with Adi later surprised the media.
In the media interview after signing the contract, Li Ba found a lot of familiar faces~www.mtlnovel.com~A lot of reporters from the NBA side appeared here.
“Hammer, what kind of performance do you think you can perform in the NFL?” The reporter from ABS was the first to be named.
“This is a sport that I don’t have much contact with. I strive to perform well here.”
Li Ba speaks very modestly. This is no better than the NBA. He has never played football and cannot speak big words.
“How much confidence do you have?” the reporter asked.
“I believe that I can be in a certain position and eventually achieve the performance of a superstar.” Li Ba said modestly, and definitely won’t be modest again for the second sentence.
“Oh!”
On a completely unfamiliar project, this was almost unassuming. There was some commotion in the media, and some exclamations sounded.
“Some? Hammer, do you want to work part-time?” the reporter asked keenly.
“Perhaps.” Li Ba smiled.
