199. You call this media day?(1/2)

The NBA50 superstar vote began, but this vote was long and complicated.

The news that Zhang Hao saw said that we should combine popularity, championship times, contribution to the NBA, contribution to basketball development, total score + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks, and other aspects, and vote separately for each aspect.

Among them, steals and blocking were officially included in the data statistics in the summer of 1973, so there is also a complex weight value that Zhang Hao could not understand to calculate the data differences around 1973.

Finally, the comprehensive weight value is used for scoring, and 50 superstars are selected from multiple angles.

The reason why it is so complicated is that Zhang Hao feels that there should be few fans who are thirty or forty years ago who only watch the ball occasionally can be named.

Like George McCann, 40 years have passed, and he will definitely not be very popular, but his contribution is very high. At the beginning of the NBA, he was pointing to selling tickets by himself. If the TV station wanted to broadcast basketball games live, he would only broadcast his games live. Without him, he would go bankrupt in the early days.

Recommended, it’s really good, it’s worth installing by book friends, and it’s supported by Android and iPhone!

Moreover, in terms of insider technology, it is basically the same set he created. Of course, the same technology has become more exquisite after 40 years of development and improvement.

Most of the NBA rules were also set during the years when George McCann played.

With super personal and team honors, it is definitely selected.

Elgin Baylor, the championship has nothing to do with him. If it is to say it has something to do, the Lakers won 33 consecutive victories since the second day of his retirement and finally won the championship.

But Elgin Baylor is still popular now, the most famous uncrowned king.

Baylor is far less than George McCann's contribution to the development of the NBA, and he has no special creativity, but his data is strong, his popularity and personal honors are quite large, and he is also the top 50.

After reading the introduction to the 50th National Congress, Zhang Hao felt that it was not just an award presentation, but a NBA cultural label.

Judging from the value of the 50 superstars in the future that Zhang Hao knows in the minds of fans, he feels that the creation of the cultural label is successful. When future fans see that a star in the old era is a winner of the 50 superstars, even if they don’t recognize him, they will subconsciously think that he is very strong.

Some things are too envious. After Zhang Hao envied them for a moment, he left this matter behind and continued to devote himself to training for the new season.

As the training deepened, from small-scale cooperation training, and over-training to the team with tactical connection led by Del Harris, the progress was very smooth.

This proves the targeted nature of the logo male recruitment, because the positional battle mainly attacked by O'Neal must be one-star and four shots. This is very simple. So the signing of Brian Shaw, Byron Scott, James Robinson and others is actually not specially equipped for O'Neal. These players all have excellent tactical awareness and are very suitable for Del Harris' changing tactical style, that is, players introduced for the sake of the overall situation.

What makes Zhang Hao feel regretful about this year's signing reinforcement is that the team is not qualified to play pick-and-roll outside.

It was just that Jason Williams, an inside teammate who was good at pick-and-roll, and without the outside teammate who was good at pick-and-roll, he cooperated with the training. Zhang Hao just knew how to practice. In actual operation, even the system-based professional level evaluation, which is 50, did not meet the pick-and-roll evaluation.

But he hasn't even been able to get in the pick-and-roll. With Jason Williams' pick-and-roll ability mainly used on wing pitchers, the team has not yet gotten into the pick-and-roll for him. The player whose playing style is mainly running and receiving the ball is equipped with a defender with a ball pick-and-roll, which seems not so suitable...

Faced with this paradox, although there is the silver-level "Pick-and-roll Executor" medal, the pick-and-roll is indeed not what he is good at. Zhang Hao can only temporarily put this aside and continue to work hard to show what he is good at through team cooperation.

...

Time passes day by day, September ends, and a new month is coming.

On October 1st, the Lakers were on holiday when the training camp began, because they had 16 days in training and 12 days before, and it was time to rest for two days after 4 days of training.

Other teams are on holiday, but the Lakers are resting, and they have also changed the media day, which was scheduled for a long time, to October 3... The media don't care whether the Lakers started training camp in advance or not, but they have found a point that can be attacked anyway.

"The Pride Lakers"

"The training camp has begun, but the Lakers are on vacation"

"Barkley and O'Neal from the BBQ"

"…"

"…"

The four-day team training was quite tiring. Zhang Hao did not continue training on October 1st, but took a rest all morning and came to the Great Western Forum to participate in an interview with the imperial court comprehensive station to congratulate the prosperity of the motherland.

But in the evening, Zhang Hao saw almost the same news in the stadium. The positive reports of Youtai were submerged in the rolling black water... But it doesn't matter, they just need to do their own things.

After the long interview, Zhang Hao was about to go home. Jenny Buss, vice president of commercial operations of the Lakers, invited Zhang Hao and the people from the imperial court to have dinner together.

Unlike most NBA team management, almost a year after Zhang Hao joined the Lakers, Jenny Buss keenly discovered the official extra care for Zhang Hao.

I didn't notice it at first, but Jenny Buss discovered it last season after the playoffs. Zhang Hao was treated as a superstar in terms of whistle!

Not to mention that he is biased towards him, but at least, when Zhang Hao faces any superstar, the referee does not favor the superstar on the other side.

The reason why no one noticed this is that Zhang Hao has been treated like this since the beginning of his rookie season.

After noticing this, Jenny Bass consciously paid attention to this aspect and found that the NBA headquarters treated China very special, especially in early September, David Stern actually gave China 10 years of free live broadcast rights in one go.

Previously, there were free live broadcasts in some countries in Europe and South America, but it usually took one or two years, and then it started charging.

Then Jenny Buster went to pay attention to the Chinese market and found that a thing that 99% of the people in the United States did not know and never reported on the news in the past 10 years, China's GDP has doubled!

Moreover, as the United States has continuously suppressed the development of Asia's economy in the past two years, China's economic development has continued to improve rapidly, surpassing Bath, the largest economy in South America, the second largest economy in North America, Canada, and the fifth largest economy in Europe, Spain, and becoming the eighth largest economy in the world.

Jenny Bass also saw the prospects of the Chinese market. Last season, he just passed the official arrangements and gave extra attention to the media from China. Now, Jenny Bass has begun to actively create opportunities for the Lakers to open up the Chinese market.

As a player, he had to follow the social engagements. Zhang Hao was helpless, but fortunately, he had experience as a salesperson in his previous life, so there was no problem with social engagements.

After finally finishing the social engagement, Zhang Hao sent away the staff of the imperial court who left with big bags of gifts. He felt that the team's eldest lady was really willing to do so!

However, the young lady has a great social skills, and she has a good grasp of her position. Those who came from the imperial court have almost become fans, but while Jenny Bass has won favor, she has not caused any loss.

Zhang Hao did not drink, so he hid because of his age, and came to the parking lot to send Jenny Bass, who was driving away from the car.

When Zhang Hao was about to leave, Jenny Bass held his arm...

Boss, I'm not a serious person, don't do this... Zhang Hao was a little imaginative in an instant, but he immediately restrained himself. Just as he was about to say something, Jenny Bass spoke first: "Aix, our new group will be officially unveiled the day after tomorrow. I thought a lot of introduction words, but I felt that it was not good enough and could not be worthy of our super group. Do you have any ideas?"

“…”

Although he was holding his arm, the other party's face was pressed against his arm, but he didn't feel the softness... As a fan, Zhang Hao was really a little regretful... He quickly dispelled this idea.

After thinking about it, Zhang Hao also felt that their lineup had to be a little different when it appeared. It was not as simple as holding a press conference. It had to do something during media days...

"There's it!" Zhang Hao said to Jenny Bass: "We can do this and this, not just combine names and introduction words, but also slogans and the way of media day appearing, we do this and that..."

Jenny Bass's eyes lit up when he heard it!

"ool-Boy, you are so smart, just listen to you! I didn't expect you to like to show off so much. You go back and prepare first. I'll work overtime now to help you get this done..."

After teasing Zhang Hao for a while, Jenny Bass walked into the door with a hot body, leaving behind a 19-year-old boy who almost couldn't work hard.

...

...

At noon on the 2nd of the month, Time Warner Cable Sports previewed a program Lakers Media Day.

This operation is quite annoying. When was the media day of an NBA team actually broadcast live across the United States?

This has attracted some hot-tempered players to swear words, and the media are also using negative adjectives to report on the operations of the Lakers and Time Warner Cable Sports.

But no matter what, as soon as this operation came out, the Lakers' already high attention became even more explosive!

When some media came to the Great Western Forum Arena, which was booked during the Lakers training camp, they were stunned at first sight when they saw the replaced poster, and then immediately took a photo and sent it back to the social TV station. This poster is news!

The latest poster that the Lakers replaced at noon today, with only 5 players. O'Neal, wearing the No. 34 Lakers jersey, was in the middle and front, grabbing the ball with both hands, bowed forward slightly on his upper body, looked up, half of his eyes were white, looking at the fierce and evil spirit.

On O'Neal's right hand is the Magician wearing the No. 32 Lakers jersey, slightly tilted his body, facing O'Neal with his hands behind his back, showing his signature smile.

On O'Neal's left hand is Barkley wearing the Lakers' No. 4 jersey, holding his hands in his chest and tilting his neck arrogantly.

On the right side of Barkley is Kenny Anderson wearing the Lakers No. 7 jersey. He put his hands in front of him, holding the wrist of the other hand. Since joining the Lakers, he has lost weight since August and has recovered his figure early. His beautiful muscles, a round and moustache, is a pretty man among black players.

On the far left is Zhang Hao wearing the Lakers No. 8 jersey with an iconic cold face and holding the ball with one hand on his outside hand. His other hand naturally hangs down without any special movement.

Just looking at the posters of these five people is already attractive enough and worthy of being released when the news is released.

But the slogans below the five posters are the key!

"Laker-all-star-debut"!

Simple and crude, yet extremely arrogant!

It’s just that, even Lakers fans who are watching, can feel the arrogance that is uncovered and wantonly promoted when they see this poster!

But from the poster itself, there is nothing to refute. Four of these five players were the All-Stars last season, Kenny Anderson, who was also the second-tier genius who was selected as the All-Star in the second grade in the 93-94 season.

No one expected that the Lakers would do this, and they thought that they would not attract hatred for the three major stars this summer?

But that's what the Lakers did, just not prepare to keep a low profile.

Some things are not just about having to be mysterious to attract people’s attention, but about having to hide them to make fans feel expectant.

I was very excited about what kind of tricks the Lakers will do tomorrow’s media day. Fans who want to watch the live broadcast became even more looking forward to the Lakers’ home poster after the Lakers’ home court was exposed!

Even if the Lakers’ media day is nothing special tomorrow, fans want to see the five all-stars of the Lakers that will move!

Of course, there will definitely be negative news accompanied by attention, but negative comments, as long as they are popular and can attract more attention, will be profitable for Time Warner Cable Sports. If more people watch the show, they will earn more advertising fees.

As for the Lakers, O'Neal and Kenny Anderson have been at the forefront of public opinion since they joined, it doesn't matter if there are more negative topics.

Since getting the signings in one day, the Lakers are actually very low-key. Except for O'Neal, everyone else is very low-key.

Because they are really too hatred. The Knicks and Heat have done similar things. From the perspective of robbery, the Lakers were even more defeated. The Lakers used a sky-high contract of $127 million for signing back to O'Neal. There was almost no robbery in the entire recruitment process, and even Barkley came on his own initiative.

So the Lakers management wants to keep a low profile.

But it is not a good thing to keep a low profile. Before the start of the season, Jenny Buss felt that it was time to vent his emotions. This was the best way!

...

Originally, the training camp began, the media day for each team began, and pre-season interviews of many championship teams in the league. Even though the Lakers received more attention, the defending champion Bulls, the Knicks, who have introduced three major stars, formed the luxury five Heat teams, the runner-up team Supersonics, and the Jazz team with the double evil spirits... and other teams also have good attention.

But the Lakers proved with their strength that it is so simple to grab headlines.
To be continued...
