Chapter 1889 If You Don’t Take Action, That’s Enough. If You Do, It Will Be Shocking (Supplementary)

Charity games are familiar to everyone. Every offseason, active or retired stars will cooperate with certain manufacturers to hold charity basketball games. For example, it has been very prosperous in recent years, with Ji Feng and Da The China Charity Masters Game co-organized by Yao and Tencent just ended last month. The game also invited Nash and other NBA stars to support it. At that time, it also attracted widespread attention from domestic and foreign media and fans.

Generally speaking, charity games are performances in nature. The purpose is to promote basketball and to accumulate some charity money to donate to those in need. Although the games are generally not exciting, there are still people who just Just to keep the name, the shopping mall is still a scratch, but in general, it is still a very good form. For example, all the income from the charity games held by Ji Feng in recent years has been used to invest in basic basketball training in poor areas of China. These Many good prospects were also discovered this year, which is also an important part of Ji Feng's motivation to improve the strength of Chinese basketball.

This time, although the title is still a charity match, the purpose is not just charity. What is important is actually gathering a large number of players to train together to maintain their condition and improve themselves.

That's right, Ji Feng is definitely not playful, his main purpose is still to maintain his condition.

The lockout is both an opportunity and a challenge for the players.

The challenge is of course not playing for a long time, which will definitely have an impact on the players. Think back to the time when Rain Man Kemp was so high-spirited before the lockout in 1999. However, because of his neglect of management, after the lockout ended, Kemp became a poor player. , the state plummeted, and eventually disappeared from everyone, and there were many like Kemp at that time.

It can be seen that a long-term lockout is absolutely no less than a disaster for players with weak willpower.

On the contrary, if you can seize this extra long period of time to complete your transformation, you will naturally have a brighter future.

Moreover, Ji Feng's idea is not a whim. Closing the stadium may be a lose-lose situation for the league and the players, but for the fans, it is a brand new experience.

In addition to those stars who still stay at home, there are actually some players who choose to work overseas. Because we don’t know how long this closure will last, and these players are not like top stars who can waste a season or two without worrying about income, so making money by playing in leagues in other countries has become a low- to medium-income option for these players. Players' choices can somewhat subsidize their losses due to the NBA's closure.

For example, some foreign players have returned to play in the leagues of their original countries, and some players have also chosen to perform in the CBA, such as JR Smith, who has joined a certain CBA team.

Every summer, some players would train on their own and even participate in some local events voluntarily. So thanks to this closure, the organizers of local events have also expanded the competition and invited many players to participate. Even the original Stars who might not regularly be on the offseason schedule are also joining these local events.

In the past two months, star players have been touring all over the United States from time to time. Local sports administrations may suddenly be filled with stars. Suddenly, the United States is filled with the atmosphere of top-level street basketball. Some players who were not paid much attention by the NBA Basketball has become popular in the region because of the touring games of stars.

Just do it!

Ji Feng has always been a person who only uses his brain but not his hands. After he came up with this idea, he immediately contacted James and asked the company to come up with a plan. Then he started calling people. Since it was a competition, there were not enough people. .

Moreover, if Ji Feng invites someone, it won't be some kind of cat or dog. He calls Kobe first, and Kobe naturally agrees. If Ji Feng invites someone, it's a game, so he will naturally go.

Afterwards, Ji Feng called Artest, the Gasol brothers, Conley, Nash, Deron and several other familiar players. Except for Deron, who was unable to come because he was going overseas to prospect for gold, everyone else participated.

Even Shark O'Neal, a guy who is unwilling to train and is close to retiring, is coming, and it was O'Neal who called him!

On the phone, O'Neal acted as usual: "Oh, my brother, how could you forget your best brother, the big diesel engine, the big cactus, Superman, the people's good policeman, the best comedian, Shaq~ ~~~~Where’s O’Neal!”

"Stop, stop, stop~! Seriously, it would be great if you were from TJ. You said cross talk is definitely suitable."

"Oh ho, what is cross talk~"

"It does not matter…"

If O'Neal comes to Ji Feng, he will naturally not refuse to agree. With this guy here, you don't need to worry about the effect. However, Ji Feng still has a question, how did he know that he was going to hold a charity game.

"Oh, don't you know it yet, buddy, this has been spread, you are Ji Feng, everyone is staring at you." O'Neal said.

"Okay, okay, I'll have some free time then. I'll call you when I'm ready. I'll cover the food and lodging." Ji Feng touched his forehead with a headache, then put down the phone. He was going to make a big deal. ah…

Ji Feng guessed it right...

Word of mouth spread that Ji Feng was shaking people up. Soon, several guys who were familiar with Ji Feng called and asked when the game was and if they could come.

The most outrageous thing is that even Uncle Duncan and Uncle Deng, an autistic 'rookie', actually asked someone to bring news to Ji Feng. Yes, it was news. Uncle Deng doesn't use the Internet to make phone calls now. It depends on fate, and his purpose is the same as others, asking Ji Feng if he can count his share.

In the next two or three days, Ji Feng received no less than 50 calls, and the number of people was increasing...

"Damn it, let's just do something big! Let's have a charity tournament!" Ji Feng was so annoyed that he finally gritted his teeth and decided to play something big!

"Tour charity match! Since there are so many people, we will select the best from the best and organize a charity match similar to the All-Stars. Rookies and veterans, as many as they can, just follow All-Star standards. What do you think! "Ji Feng went into battle in person for the first time in a long time and started planning.

"I think…"

"That's awesome! You are a genius!" James couldn't help but applaud after hearing Ji Feng's complete plan. In his opinion, this was a bold and effective attempt.

"Well, let's get started. Don't worry about spending money. Our costs are estimated to be back soon. We charge tickets, find sponsors, find cities and venues, and donate the tickets completely. The sponsorship will be enough for us to recoup our costs. Moreover, we can recruit people to cooperate. Can it be completed within half a month from now?" Ji Feng asked.

"Well, it's a bit difficult, but we are not alone. We can find partners. UA should be very interested. We can even look abroad. China should also like it," James said. .

(Why is this happening? The automatic press conference separated my chapter and sent it directly to 1878. I only found out today that I am artificially retarded. I was really drunk. I’m sorry for causing trouble to everyone. I’m sorry!)
