Chapter 280 [Missing the Olympics, signing an endorsement again]

As the 2004 Athens Olympics approaches, the organizers put safety issues on priority.

The cause was that US officials claimed that the terrorist organization N47 would attack the Athens Olympics, which is a dangerous signal because the United States has grasped the advantages of information asymmetry and can claim against future sponsors what kind of organization and what scale of attacks.

This is really painful. What if no one attacks it in the end? It makes people panic and stocks fall sharply. Because of 911, the whole world has become sensitive.

There were indeed bloodshed in the Olympics. On September 5, 1972, a scene of cruel killing occurred in the Munich Olympics. Palestinian terrorists attacked the athletes' village with guns, killed two Israeli athletes on the spot, and took nine hostages. When the terrorists committed the crime, major TV stations around the world broadcast live to the world, aggravating the terror atmosphere.

None of the hostages in the entire incident were rescued, and five terrorists and one German policeman died.

This time, the Athens Olympics, as the first Summer Olympics held after the 9/11 incident, has been continuously overspending security budgets, and is said to have reached 1.2 billion US dollars, ensuring the safety of athletes and spectators to the greatest extent.

Even so, many NBA players in the United States have made excuses to withdraw from the national team, because they are worried about being attacked by terrorists.

The richer a person is, the better he lives, the more he cherishes his life and is reluctant to take risks.

Big-name stars have the strength, and no one can threaten them with patriotism. The Basketball Association will permanently drive them out of the national team, and they still make a lot of money. The fans are depressed.

The American Basketball Association announced the 12-man roster of Dream Six teams.

Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, Carlos Boozer, LeBron James, Cameron Anthony, Amaré Stadamire, Sean Marion, Lamar Odom, Dwyane Wade, Richard Jefferson, Stephen Marbury, Emmaca Okafor.

Jefferson is not the core of the Nets. He was actually selected for the Dream Team.

He was personally very happy and was ready to win the gold medal. He also invited Wang Jun and others to have a meal at the restaurant and said something. He hoped to get everyone's blessing.

Kidd poured cold water on him, and he was completely unfavorable to the Dream Six team. "This game is difficult to play. Not to mention winning the championship, I think it would be good if I could win the medal."

"No way?"

Kitt smiled and said, "Of course, I won't tell you the reason. Who can analyze it for him? Richard, you can't just play with your body. You have to analyze the lineup, analyze the tactics, and analyze the characteristics of the players. If the player is famous, you will definitely win. How can we win the Pistons and the Lakers?"

Martin was the first to speak. "The weakness is too obvious. Think about what we were in the first and second grades. Our health is not worse than now, but we have no experience. There are too many newcomers to the Dream Team Six."

Jefferson was selected, which shows that there are really no big names who are willing to go, and he is only in the third grade.

Okafor is a popular candidate for the rookie No. 1 pick and have not proved himself in the NBA yet. The first and second-year rookies have gone to as many as five, and half of them lack international competition experience.

Coach Lawrence was also invited. The advantage of being young is that he has a good relationship with the players and has no airs.

He smiled and said, "I think Brown is also a weakness as a coach, right? Why don't you let me go?"

The head coach of the Dream Six team is actually a stubborn old Larry Brown who is famous for not using new players.

Although at the press conference, Brown said he was very happy to be the Vocational Dream Team and was confident of leading this group of outstanding players. However, TNT and ESPN Radio clearly stated that he was not optimistic about his coach.

Brown is a defensive coach. From training to warm-up, he only practiced for two weeks together. It was impossible for him to instill defensive ideas into these people. Brown's offensive system is a scumbag. He can't do anything except pick-and-roll.

Wang Jun spoke boldly after thinking. "I think other players have problems, Marion and Odom are just second-rate stars. The remaining Duncan, Iverson and Marbury are obviously inconsistent. Judging from fame, Iverson and Marbury may start together. In that case, the outside defense will definitely be bad. Also, this team lacks pitchers. Jason. Am I right?"

"It's right." Kid nodded to Wang Jun and expressed his approval.

Wang Jun is worse than his health, and he is better than his understanding than most newcomers.

Two point guards who need teammates to keep pick-and-roll and play with a unique style of play are getting together, and it would be nice if they don’t play offensively. When these two big names are on the same side, it is easier to get exploded on the defensive end.

Players with good data may not necessarily win if they get together.

If Wade, Iverson, and James are better at defending from the outside, it may be better to play Anthony, but Brown will use Anthony? The Pistons would rather choose Milicic than "melon".

Marion, Odom can shoot, and his shooting percentage is not as good as a pitcher, and it is difficult for him to not be able to open up space.

Inside S, Boozer is not defending, and Brown will definitely not like it. No one can use it except Duncan and Odom.

Jefferson is a marginal person. After listening to their analysis, he also felt that it was not that easy to get into a gold medal.

After the dinner, his good mood was lost by these bad friends.

Seeing the American team's virtues, Wang Jun regrets that the national team does not look for him. If the Chinese team's strongest lineup plays this year, there is great potential.

This time he didn't think about it. He never communicated with the leaders of the Basketball Association and didn't know anyone. There was Li Nan on the team's pitcher, but the Basketball Association felt that he was not needed.

If you only look at three-pointers, Li Nan is really not as good as Wang Jun. He has rich experience in the game. No matter how awesome Wang Jun is, many people think he is just a 21-year-old newcomer who has played professional games for a year.

Wang Leying had a summer vacation, and the university holiday was very long, from mid-June to September Labor Day, for a full 11 weeks.

Wang Jun, who was used to being busy, was a little uncomfortable when he was idle and wanted to go to high-intensity training. Both women were not allowed, and they thought he was crazy.

No team won the championship? They went to train after just over a week of vacation? This is no longer a workaholic, but a workaholic.

Wang Jun temporarily gave up his football practice plan and only did basic training at home. He also took the time to sign an endorsement contract.

German brand "Glashütte" asked Wang Jun to endorse the watch.

As one of the few high-end mechanical watch brands in the world with 100% of its full series of watches equipped with homemade movements, this company is very rich and offers an endorsement fee of 2 million yuan per year, with a time limit of only two years. It depends on the effect and then decide whether to renew the signature.

Watch style is one aspect, and the second most important thing is precision. Wang Jun's three-pointer in the first game of the finals conquered the merchants.

After signing this contract, Wang Jun's net worth has improved again. If you only look at how much money you make, playing basketball seems to be more like his part-time job, and his salary of 700,000 yuan in the second season is not worth mentioning.

Wang Jun did not hide it and told Xu Xuejiao about his new endorsement. As soon as the news was exposed, there was another surprise in China.

Some domestic media use the "money-making king" to describe Wang Jun. If this continues, he may surpass Yao Ming and become the most profitable Chinese athletes.

In addition, Kal Malone held a press conference after the operation and officially announced his retirement and would not return to the NBA arena. Both Utah elders eventually missed the championship.

The video of the two colliding was clicked millions of times online, and Chinese fans nicknamed Wang Jun "Iron Knee", which sounds like a Muay Thai practitioner.
