Chapter 51 Lin Tian’s request!A reciprocal partnership! "My family is in China and I have some connections. Compared with people here, they understand China's national conditions better and what Chinese fans need and want! They know better what to do to make Chinese fans like watching the NBA!"
"You want your people to take over our publicity work?" Stern, an old fox, reacted immediately and knew Lin Tian's ambition!
If this requirement is achieved, the benefits and profits generated will definitely be an extremely exaggerated figure! This young man's ambition and appetite are terrifying! Only then did Stern realize that... he had fallen into Lin Tian's trap without even realizing it, and had fallen into his rhythm! This kid is much scarier than imagined! "Lin, your request is too exaggerated. There are too many interests and relationships involved. There is no way I can agree to it!" Stern rejected Lin Tian without any hesitation!
Even if Lin Tian retires where he is now, or becomes the league's most problematic player due to drug addiction, Stern will not be able to give up this huge benefit easily.
He is just the president of the league, not a dictator.
Even if he agrees to Lin Tian, his words are not 100% guaranteed! Stern is even convinced that if he dares to agree today, he will be kicked out of the league tomorrow!
"Don't refuse in a hurry, Mr. President, you will need us! You have to first think about our advantages and what you can't learn anyway, and then refuse me!" Lin Tian said confidently: " You will never know what the Chinese people want to see or hear!"
"If you can't grasp our pain points, your publicity will be doomed to achieve twice the result with half the effort! I'm not making money from you, I'm helping you save money!"
"Let's do this." At this point, Lin Tian suddenly slowed down and said, "Let me give you an example. How are you going to publicize my fight?"
"Propaganda? No publicity!" Stern said resolutely: "Turn big things into small things, make them trivial, and let the impact of this incident pass quickly. This is an incident that affects the image of the league and will not be affected by the middle class and those with consumption. Liked by capable people!”
"But in China, you can't do this!" Lin Tian said with a smile: "I'll give you some titles and ideas. If you want to promote the NBA in China, this is what you have to do: Lin Tian beat three veterans Promote the prestige of our country! Defeat three with one enemy! KO three people to show off our Chinese Kung Fu spirit!"
"what do you think about this?"
"Would your people like this?" Stern couldn't understand what Lin Tian said.
"Of course, and most people like this!" Lin Tian said with a smile: "But don't worry, we don't have to worry, you can try it first, and then we can talk about it? I guarantee that if you cooperate with us, you will never You will regret it, and you will achieve success like you have never had before!”
"David, you are already the most successful president in the history of the NBA. You saved the league from gangs and contraband! You used Michael and the drama of black and white to save the entire NBA, but with other players in North America You have no advantage over the leaders of the league, or even the top five European football leagues! What I am giving you now is an opportunity you have never had."
"An opportunity for you to become the number one president of all sports leagues in North America! An opportunity for you to promote the NBA as the number one sports league in the world. An opportunity for you to make basketball surpass football and become the number one sport in the world! I want to! Think about it, some opportunities really only come once in a lifetime!"
What is reverse brainwashing?What does it mean to give bread to bread and chicken soup to chicken soup? Magic must be defeated with magic!Lin Tian didn't know what Stern was thinking when he hung up the phone, or whether Stern believed in his pie.
But he was very sure that Stern must have taken his words to heart. Even if his proposal failed to succeed in the end, Stern would definitely consider it! After all, in Lin Tian's previous life, Stern tried his best. He started working hard in 1989, and it was not until 2002 that Dayao entered the league. The rise of the Internet era and the take-off of China's economy finally allowed the NBA to move from Amidst the siege of the five major European leagues, a big piece of meat was snatched from China! But that was more than ten years of hard work, and the hardships and countless futile efforts definitely made Stern physically and mentally exhausted!
Lin Tian believes that his proposal will definitely have great appeal to Stern!This is an opportunity for him to truly become the top figure in the entire history of North American sports! Lin Tian didn't believe that Stern didn't want to eat such a big cake!
In addition, Lin Tian is obviously not prepared to take over his family's business in this life. He still feels a little indebted to his parents.
So the main purpose of this proposal is certainly not for Stern. After all, Lin Tian still hopes to compensate his parents in some ways.
Even if his parents don't understand anything about media, publicity, sports, etc., it doesn't matter, Lin Tian understands! More importantly, Lin Tian knows who understands!
There are many names in his mind!
Of course, all this is not even a single word!
Whether it will succeed in the end, whether Stern can convince the NBA's board of directors, and whether Mom and Dad will get a chance are all matters for later!
Lin Tian now has to enjoy his rare vacation!
Suspended for five games, that means that for almost 10 days, Lin Tian does not have to play a single game. He can just be a VIP spectator in the front row! Of course, rest is a break, games are no longer games, and daily training, Lin Tian has not given up at all. He is still going tit-for-tat with Jordan in training, confronting Jordan again and again, and talking trash.
After he gained new stealing abilities, Lin Tian caused Jordan to suffer a small loss in the matchup several times. From time to time, he was able to steal the ball directly from Jordan's hands! What has also been significantly improved is Lin Tian's ability to judge and intercept passing routes during training!
He can always appear in the right place, intercept the opponent's pass, and directly launch a fast break! But there are pros and cons. Sometimes he will fail to steal, which will make him lose his defensive position and be easily scored by his opponent.
And because of this, Lin Tian was often taught by Clemens and Jackson, telling him not to gamble to steal, but to pay attention to his defensive position and let the opponent beat the iron, which is far more helpful to the team than gambling to steal. Bigger!
How to choose among these, how to improve his steal success rate while not losing his position as much as possible, is the direction that Lin Tian needs to focus on and improve most in the next period of time! (End of this chapter)
