Chapter 444: [Affiliate Program, Peak of Honor]

In New York, the headquarters of the NBA League, David Stern immediately summoned several vice presidents to the office after he knew the result of the game.
The female secretary brought coffee and tea, then left the office and closed the door.
Stern's expression was very complicated, and there was a trace of helplessness in the excitement.
"Everyone, I believe everyone knows the results of the Bulls to Wizards game tonight. Wang Jun's strength has reached another level this season. His single game score has overwhelmed all active players. After tonight, his popularity will increase to one. A whole new level, I want to ask your opinion."
The most attractive to fans is the scorer, a scoring king can greatly increase player popularity.
For example, McGrady, who brushed two scoring champions in the Magic, has a large number of fans. People who like him can directly ignore the fact that he never led the team through the first round of the playoffs.
Vice President Granick said: "David, do you want Wang Jun to be the league's number one star? It's just a game with high scores, isn't it too hasty."
"No, he doesn't need to vigorously promote it now, and fans will naturally dig up his information. What I want to ask is, if a Chinese player rules the NBA, would this be what local fans want?"
This is Stern's worry. He is afraid that Wang Jun's popularity will cause dissatisfaction among local fans.
The Dream Team has lost consecutively in the international arena. American basketball seems to be giving way to dominance. If international players become the strongest stars in the NBA, what will the fans think?
Fans like it, what should they do, and what do they do?
Stern had no idea, because he had never seen such a powerful international player, so he met for brainstorming.
If most people think that Wang Jun should take it, then the league should also say a few words and let the stars be interviewed. Touted Wang Jun's high score performance.
As for suppression...
Even Clark, who has been vigorously supporting the local star, dare not propose to suppress Wang Jun at this time, unless he is a brain disabled and wants to put his face on the hands of others, let people slap hard.
People who can become NBA leaders naturally have something extraordinary. At least not mentally handicapped. They can all see the business potential of Wang Jun and the energy behind him.
The NBA is a business league. Jordan retired in 1998. The downtime caused by labor negotiations led to a drop in ratings. The league suffered a major blow. After several years of rest and recuperation, popularity was restored.
The league is looking for Jordan's successor and a super scorer who can attract fans. Take great pains.
to this end. They did not hesitate to make the Lakers substitute Kobe Bryant an All-Star starter, but until now, no fans think Kobe can surpass Jordan, he is an excellent imitator, imitating is better.
Carter and McGrady also failed to resist the banner of "Jordan's successor", not to mention the data, but the record is too far behind. At present, James and Wade have flaws, although the average data per game is beautiful. There was no single super performance.
Now there are finally players who can score high, still in the Bulls. Give people a sense of heritage, is this not the authentic Jordan successor?
Although Wang Jun is not a local player, it must be a baby. Suppressing him is tantamount to living with himself and living with money. What benefits can the alliance get by pressing him?
Show your determination to racial discrimination?
Put on an arrogant posture to let Chinese fans know that our Yankees just look at you as Chinese and are not pleasing to you?
Isn't that SB? Except for the Japanese devil who snatched fishing, who would be so sensible to live with China?
After discussing for a while, several big brothers reached agreement. While preparing to hold on to Wang Jun, vigorously promote a few opponents with enough weight to compete with them.
Adam Xiaohua said: "The number of Chinese fans is increasing, and the Chinese are getting richer. This is the best opportunity to open up the market. I suggest to promote Kobe, James and him to compete. Now both of them have statistics. Not bad. As far as Iverson is concerned, it is difficult for the Sixers to make the playoffs, and his defensive weakness is too obvious."
Granick asked: "This kind of publicity is like admitting that Wang Jun is one of the strongest players in the league. He is only in the third year. If the Bulls have a good record in the end, is that okay? Maybe he will win the regular season MVP."
Stern shook his head and said: "If you win the MVP, that is his strength. Is there any problem in the third year? Unless someone has the same data as him and the record is similar, what can we do?"
Granick was silent, the data and the record are comprehensive, and no one can really compare with Wang Jun. He is the closest to MVP.
It is impossible for Taiming to blatantly award MVP to others. Modern basketball has improved and the network has developed. In the case of Jabal who did not enter the playoffs, but took the MVP of the regular season, he will be scolded by fans.
Stern went on to say: "If the regular season is aimed at Wang Jun, and the Bulls fans see it, don't they say anything? That will only have the opposite effect and make the fans reluctant to watch the NBA. No one wants to watch the fake. "
Like American professional wrestling, what's the use of more tricks? Everyone knows it is fake.
There are a lot of shady NBA, trading, gambling, refereeing, but at least the fake is not obvious.
Xiao Hua added: "I think it's hard to suppress him, unless he is caught in a foul and blows him down, he doesn't jump much on defense, it's equally obvious to do so. And he currently averages not many 7.1 free throws per game. How to reduce it? Make a star free throws within five times? He can make a lot of breakthroughs this season."
The reduction of Wang Jun's free throws last season can be explained by not many breakthroughs and poor ball holding ability. He made a lot of breakthroughs this year. If the free throw is far worse than others, it will be unreasonable.
There is racial discrimination in the NBA, which is implicit.
Other international players are either too soft or not strong enough to say that "racism" is simply untenable and there is insufficient evidence.
Wang Jun is different. He attracted everyone's attention, and the referee's movements will be magnified indefinitely.
In addition, China has a huge fan base, and it would be great if Wang Jun was treated unfairly in the NBA.
The slight impact is to reduce the number of fans. In the serious case, it is an international incident that will affect the future commercial cooperation with Chinese basketball. These two points are not what the league officials want to see.
Everyone finally decided to support Wang Jun in the regular season as the top five stars in the league. Let Kobe, James and others compete with him. Into the playoffs said another.
At present, Wang Jun's average score has risen to 33.1 points per game, which surpassed Iverson's 32.9 points and ranked first in the league.
On the MVP rankings, Wang Jun also occupied the top position.
Although the Pistons had the best record in the league, Hamilton, who scored the most, was only 20 points per game. No one would think that Hamilton would be elected.
Duncan, the second-ranked player, has fallen compared with last season. Many people say he is old.
The third place is Nash, Sun Star star Stadamer reimbursed in the regular season, Nash led the team still played a decent record, but he is the defender with MVP, the difficulty is increased, the data is not as beautiful as Wang Jun.
The data behind James and Nowitzki are beautiful enough, and the record is much worse than the Bulls.
As long as the Bulls guarantee their record in the regular season, Wang Jun will reach the peak of his personal honor, and the MVP trophy is already waving towards him.
