NBA Backer King - Chapter 638
Chapter 638 Terrorist Attack
Stoudemire and Marion worried that once the Suns completed their new roster construction, they might sell them off to a team they didn’t want to go to. That would be bad, so they urged their agents every day to put pressure on the Knicks .
The transaction could not be completed quickly, D’Antoni also became anxious and began to put pressure on the management.
In the end, because of the pressure from D’Antoni and the three of them, Isaiah Thomas chose to take a step back.
On July 26, a big deal happened.
The Suns paid Amare Stoudemire + Sean Marion.
The Knicks paid Jamal Crawford + Trevor Ariza + Kurt Thomas + unprotected first-round pick in 2005 + unprotected first-round pick in 2007.
After this transaction happened, the media responded immediately.
“Smiling Assassin made great achievements. With his own strength, he hollowed out the Suns’ championship lineup. With championship coach D’Antoni, the Knicks will become the most championship-competitive team in the new season.” New York Sports News.
“The main lineup of the Suns for the new season is still strong. Old K, Kenyon Martin, Kurt Thomas, Jamal Crawford, White Chocolate, will still be a championship-level team.” Miami Daily.
Barkley was interviewed by the media and specifically talked about the Suns deal, saying: “The Knicks deal is indeed very successful. Although they paid for the future two unprotected first-round picks, with the current Knicks lineup, this The value of the two picks is not very great, and it is estimated that they are the last few picks in the first round.
The Suns are actually not losing money. Since the players want to leave, the management can’t keep them, and the management has completed the transaction ahead of schedule. In the future, I will continue to be optimistic about Old K’s team. ”
…
On July 25, Dayao came to the capital.
Early in the morning on the 26th, Lao Wang and Dayao came to the national team to report.
This men’s basketball team, the roster of 12 people is officially released.
Insiders: Wang Tiejun, Yao Min, Wang Zhizhi, Du Feng, Yi Jianlian.
Small forwards: Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan.
Defenders: Guo Shiqiang, Zhang Yunsong, Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Sun Le.
In addition, the head coach is old coach Jiang.
It turned out that Liu Yumin wanted to hire a head coach from the NBA and asked Lao Wang to recommend one, but Lao Wang disagreed, because the rules of the NBA are different from international basketball, so it may not be the right thing to hire a head coach from there.
After reporting for duty, Liu Yumin arranged a media conference where the men’s basketball team met with the media.
According to the meaning above, it must be low-key. After all, the goal of the men’s basketball team this time is obvious, which is the gold medal.
This gold medal, the men’s basketball team doesn’t mention it, the Basketball Association doesn’t mention it, and the General Administration doesn’t mention it, but the media has already helped to fix it, and the people of the whole country know it, so it’s impossible to keep a low profile. Directly announce the goal.
At the press conference, the men’s basketball team officially announced that this year’s Olympics will aim for the Olympic gold medal.
In the following time, the men’s basketball team began internal training.
This men’s basketball gold medal is also the most important gold medal this time, so during the training period, people from above came down from time to time to express their condolences. Director Yuan, the head of the General Administration, came down twice a week, which made everyone nervous.
Time soon came to August, and the Athens Olympic Games came.
“Old K, we have arrived in Turkey.”
“Be careful, it’s not very quiet over there.”
On the morning of the 27th, Stoudemire called and said that he and Marion had arrived in Turkey with the Dream Team Six.
“Old K, I’m sorry, I…I left, sorry!” Stoudemire felt very embarrassed.
Lao Wang naturally understands Stoudemire’s thoughts, he understands Stoudemire’s departure, because Stoudemire will not leave for two years, and if he delays for another two years, with an average of more than ten points and a few rebounds per game, the next contract is worrying. With his potential and strength, he can play All-Star stats in other teams.
However, he still had some complaints about Stoudemire and these guys, so he ran away without telling him.
“It’s right for you to leave, but it’s wrong if you don’t tell me, you little bastards, you know, this is called running away.” Old Wang cursed.
Stoudemire said awkwardly: “Old K, I, I have talked with Nash and the others, but we are afraid that you will get angry, so we dare not call you.”
“Then you dare to fight now?” Old Wang said angrily.
Xiaosi faltered: “Isn’t this going to the Olympics? Don’t call now, I’m afraid you will beat me up when we meet.”
“Heh…” Old Wang shook his head and laughed.
Then Marion also called, and Nash and Joe Johnson also called one after another.
Old Wang has only one attitude, since he chooses to leave, he must play in other teams, don’t waste his talent.
Time entered August, on the 3rd, Dabao called Sissi who was filming in other places.
“Sister, my mother agrees, I’m going to Athens to watch the Olympics, are you happy to go with me?”
“But I just joined the group, and the filming hasn’t started yet?”
“Not filmed yet? Who is the director? Give him the phone, and I’ll ask you for leave. Let’s see if my face, Wang Dabao, is doing well in the entertainment industry.”
“Don’t worry, it’s not time for the Olympics…”
“Sister Qianqian, don’t fool me, how many days away? Is it important for you to film, or to watch the Olympics with me?”
“Dabao, you keep forcing me, I’m mad at you!”
“Just be angry, you can’t beat me now, in two years, I will be taller than you, hehe!”
“Dabao, you are getting more and more shameless, and you actually started to bully me? Just wait for me!”
“Stop rambling, give him the phone quickly.”
Cissy over there was in a dilemma, holding the phone and looking at her mother.
“What’s the matter?” Liu Xiaoli asked.
“Dabao wants me to accompany him to watch the Olympic Games in Athens, and he wants to ask for leave for me, so the filming can’t be done.” Sissy said while pressing the microphone.
“Then what else can I do? I’ll go find the director and give me the phone.”
Liu Xiaoli took the phone and enthusiastically said to Dabao on the other end of the phone: “Dabao, I’m Aunt Liu, wait a minute, I’ll go and talk to Director Du.”
“Aunt Liu, sorry for the inconvenience.” Dabao said familiarly.
“Why are you being polite with Aunt Liu?”
Liu Xiaoli found Du Jifeng, pointed to her mobile phone and said, “Director Du, Dabao has something to call you, the phone is connected, do you see?”
Du Qifeng was startled, and asked in a low voice, “Wang Dabao?”
“certainly.”
Liu Xiaoli nodded and handed over the phone.
Du Qifeng felt that he had asked a nonsense question. Who in the entire entertainment circle didn’t know the relationship between Liu Yifei and Feige Film and Television Wang’s Young Master? Half of his investment in this film was Feige. I just don’t know what this little devil king of Fengshen Street is looking for him for?
“Hello, Young Master Wang? Hello, hello, I’m Du Qifeng…” After taking the phone, he greeted him warmly, just like an adult.
He had to be enthusiastic, because Wang Dabao had too much status in the entertainment industry, not only Feige’s younger brother, but also the first-line celebrities in the mainland, at least half of the ten were Wang Dabao’s contacts.
Among Hong Kong’s top celebrities, such as Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, etc., are also Wang Dabao’s contacts.
He is the chief operating officer of China National Star. The relationship between the boss Long Wu and Wang Dabao’s family is very good. Many of the company’s films were released in Hollywood through the Wang family’s relationship, so he and the boss behind him can also be regarded as Wang Dabao’s connections. .
As for Hollywood, because of the relationship with the K-era club, Wang Dabao knows all famous stars, and his network may be more extensive than in China.
If he offends this doll who is less than ten years old, especially if this doll is a little devil who causes trouble every day, there will definitely be unexpected troubles waiting for him. He doesn’t need Feige to do anything, his personal connections can do a lot of things, Even his boss, Mr. Long Wu, would not let him offend the doll.
Even though he is considered a great director, he is still a bit weak when facing this eight-year-old doll.
“Director Du, I’m Wang Dabao, please excuse me! By the way, I heard from my sister that the investment of this drama is 300 million yuan, which is too little. My sister’s heroine, 300 million yuan is not enough. If you make the scene bigger, I Give you another 200 million?”
Du Qifeng was dumbfounded, what does Wang Dabao mean by this? Is Feige going to check my account?
“Don’t dare, Young Master Wang, the investment in this drama is enough, and it won’t exceed the budget. I’m watching it every day.”
“You’re welcome. I don’t ask my mother or father for money. I have money myself. I have shares in several companies in the K era. I can’t spend the billions in dividends every year. Last year, I personally paid for Uncle Cheng Long’s movie. I invested 30 million yuan and made a lot of money. I plan to invest 100 million yuan in Huo Yuanjia, which Uncle Li is going to shoot next year, so that my sister will be the heroine.”
Du Qifeng is really crazy, young master, are you here to show off your wealth?
“Well, Director Du, my summer homework is a bit difficult. I need my sister to give me some pointers. I can help her ask for a month’s leave. Do you think it’s okay?”
Du Qifeng is speechless, your excuse is too fake, can you seriously think of an excuse, such as going to Athens to watch the Olympics?
Even if this movie itself is Feige’s movie, it doesn’t matter if Liu Yifei’s scene is filmed later, and he doesn’t want to offend Wang Dabao, so he agrees without hesitation: “Okay then, I will shoot other people’s scenes first, Your sister’s scene was left for the last shoot.”
“Cheer up! Director Du, let me stop here. In the future, if you need to invest, don’t look for Feige, just look for me. I will vote for you. If your movie wants to be released in the United States, let me do it. I am very familiar with Hollywood.” , don’t look for my mother’s Feige, I will hold a party for you at the K Times Club, from publicity to theaters, one-stop. Let me tell you, Director Du, my parents don’t even say anything to me in the club The words are good, the club has always been managed by my second aunt, and my second aunt loves me the most.”
Du Qifeng smiled wryly, is Wang Dabao going to start his own business?
Hung up the phone, he politely said to Liu Xiaoli: “Sister Liu, did you hear that?”
“Thank you then.” Liu Xiaoli nodded and smiled.
He hesitated again and said: “I was ready, but Yifei couldn’t shoot, and the progress would be affected to some extent. There is no problem on my side, I don’t know about Yu Dong’s side…”
“Don’t worry, Director Du, Feihong promised Dabao to let him go to Athens to watch the Olympic Games. She must know that Dabao will let Yifei accompany him. The two children have been together since they were young, and they can’t leave each other. I’ll call her now. “Liu Xiaoli said.
“Okay, trouble.” Du Qifeng said.
Not long after, Sissy left the set in a nanny car.
On August 6, the first batch of members of the Chinese Olympic delegation set off for Athens, including the men’s basketball team.
Lao Wang got on the plane with the men’s basketball team. As soon as he entered the cabin, he saw a few weightlifters. In front of him were some gymnasts, several Olympic champions and world champions. team, and further forward, the men’s and women’s table tennis teams.
“Old K.”
“elder brother.”
“Old Brother K.”
“Comrade Wang.”
Participating in the Olympic Games for the third time, he is an absolute veteran in the national team. He is almost the oldest among all athletes. Few are over 30 years old. After calculation, it is probably that Wang Yifu, a veteran of the shooting team, is older than him Big, all the way past, the sitting athletes greeted each other.
He smiled and said: “I have followed you two Olympic Games, only to watch this one, this time I still can’t win the gold medal, next time Olympic Games, I won’t take the same plane with you Olympic champions, really I’m sorry!”
Guo Jingjing smiled and said: “Brother K, next time is the BJ Olympics, our home stadium, so we don’t need to fly.”
Old Wang was stunned, glared at Guo Jingjing, and said, “You girl, do you think we have no hope of winning this time?”
“Haha…” The cabin burst into laughter.
“No no!”
Guo Jingjing smiled and waved her hands quickly.
After arriving in Athens, in addition to the embassy, FIBA also sent people to pick up the plane.
The Chinese team has won bronze and silver medals in the previous two Olympic Games. It is very strong. It has the number one player in the basketball world and several NBA players. This time the Olympic team was rated as the first team by most of the media in the world. The evaluation is not good. Under the Dream Six team, it is the favorite team to win the championship.
In order to promote basketball, FIBA has done a lot of publicity. As the number one player in the basketball world, Lao Wang is of course the focus of FIBA’s publicity.
The next day, FIBA came to the door and asked Lao Wang to take a lot of promotional photos.
On the 10th, Lao Wang just had breakfast with his teammates and was about to go to training when Marion suddenly called.
“Old K, it’s over, we’re being targeted by terrorists, **** it, it’s terrible!”
“What’s going on? Sean, are you dead? No, are you hurt?”
“NONO, I’m fine, I’m not injured or injured. Just now, a hotel next to our hotel was bombed. It’s too bad. It’s been bombing here and there these days. I heard that more than 60 people died. It’s too dangerous here, I’m thinking about quitting the national team.”
“Really? Sean, you are lucky, go back to the United States, otherwise your hotel may be bombed next time.”
“No way, we are still 6 kilometers away from the hotel that exploded, so it shouldn’t be directed at us.”
“What the hell, are you talking about 6 kilometers away?”
“Uh, old K, I used an exaggerated technique. It was actually very close. The sound of the explosion was loud, and we all heard it. And you know, we went to visit there yesterday, and it’s a scenic spot. Oh, How lucky we are not to stay in a hotel over there, God bless!”
“Well, anyone is leaving, tell me, I care about your safety.”
“Now the embassy has come, many officials have come, we are moving out, and we will play a warm-up match with Turkey in a few hours, this **** place!”
“Stupid, quickly answer the question I just asked, who wants to go back to the United States?”
“McGrady may have to leave, but no one else wants to leave for the time being.”
“He’s the only one? You guys are really brave. I hope the terrorists won’t go looking for you tomorrow.”
“Old K, don’t scare me, I’m still standing on the street in shorts, and so are they.”
“Haha, good luck then.”
…
At noon on the 10th, Wang Dabao, who had driven out all the summer homework and the homework left by the second aunt, finally boarded the plane with two assistants and bodyguards arranged by Sissi and Yu Feihong.
On the 12th, the day before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the American men’s basketball team finally arrived in Athens.
At this time, the Chinese men’s basketball team is having a meeting to discuss the situation in the group stage.
Oji will pay too much attention to the gold medal of the men’s basketball team, and head Yuan attended the meeting in person.
Twelve teams, divided into two groups AB, Group A members are Spain, Italy, Argentina, China, New Zealand, Serbia and Montenegro, Group B are Lithuania, Greece, Puerto Rico, the United States, Australia, Angola.
“The grouping is like this. Group A is the real group of death. There is no weak team, so everyone must not be careless and take every group match seriously.” After introducing the situation, Liu Yumin said very seriously Said.
Next, the leaders at all levels spoke. After Jiang Shuai, Lao Wang, as the captain, also said a few words.
Since 1994, he has entered the national team, and it has been ten years since then. He has not been the captain since he played in the United States and cannot fulfill the responsibility of the captain. However, as he gets older, his qualifications, prestige and status are getting higher and higher. , If you don’t want to be the captain, you can’t do it, because if you don’t do it, no one in the men’s basketball team will dare to be his captain after the older generation retires. They are all younger than him regardless of their seniority. He is the oldest big brother in the men’s basketball team.
In addition to him, Li Nan, who was selected into the national team in 1996, is also a veteran, but he is also one year younger than him and serves as the second captain.
No. 13, opening ceremony.
Old Wang served as the flag bearer of the 1996 Olympic Games, and he was also the one in 2000. This was arranged by Dayao.
“Look, my dad, Miss Sissy, did you see that?”
“See, uncle is so tall, can you not see it?”
In the stands, when the Chinese delegation came out, Dabao saw his father for the first time, and then jumped, jumped and waved, and shouted with all his strength, but unfortunately, Lao Wang couldn’t hear him at all.
“Isn’t this show too boring? It doesn’t have a sense of luxury at all, it doesn’t have Xiangsheng, and it doesn’t have an allegro. It’s not attractive at all. Sister Sissy, I’m sleepy, let’s go for a while.”
After watching for a long time, Dabao yawned boredly, didn’t bother to look any more, leaned over, put his legs on the lap of a bodyguard sister next to him, and his upper body fell on Sissy’s lap, hugged her waist and fell asleep.
“Dabao, you are really good at running so far, did you come here to sleep?” Sissy hugged Dabao skillfully so as not to roll down, and complained helplessly.
After the opening ceremony, the Olympic Games officially kicked off.
The first group match of the men’s basketball team is No. 15, and the opponent is Spain.
Spain has two NBA players, the first is the core Paul Gasol, the 2001 No. 3 show, and the Jazz’s Raul Lopez.
In contrast, China* has four NBA players, Wang Tiejun, Dayao, Dazhi, and Zhu Fangyu, as well as two rookies, Yi Jianlian and Sun Le.
Although Spain is very strong, the world’s mainstream media and most professional media believe that the Chinese team can win the group stage.
Major gaming companies have offered odds for this game, most of which are Spain with higher odds, and they are more optimistic about the Chinese team winning.
“The professionalism of gaming companies deserves our attention. I even think they are more professional than professional media, so we can’t let them down. This game must be won.”
Old Wang waved a stack of newspapers in his hand, and after shouting, he shouted to his teammates: “Brothers, who hasn’t bet yet, hurry up, don’t waste the opportunity to make money.”
“Zuodao!”
There was a knock on the door, Lao Wang looked back, Liu Yumin stood at the door with a dark face, looked at him helplessly and said: “Tie Jun, don’t mess around, it won’t affect you well.”
Old Wang laughed, and hurriedly said: “Just kidding, Director Liu, don’t take it seriously.”
“That’s good.”
Liu Yumin gave the others a warning look, and closed the door from the outside.
“Hurry up, hurry up if you want to buy, I’ll let someone place a bet.” Lao Wang turned around and shouted in a low voice.
Others rushed forward laughing and laughing, and the room suddenly became lively.
