Chapter 1043: Wimbledon Main Tournament Wild Card Obtained

Li Ba thought for a while and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I am now so good that I can't do anything about it, so my answer to you now is that my defense is unsolvable. Don't become my opponent, and you don't need to think about how to beat me."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked Phil Jackson: "Phil, will you make any tactical adjustments in Game 2?"

Phil Jackson shook his head, and after a moment of silence, he said: "We will have new attempts."

"Phil, it has been proven that there is no player in the league or even the world who can play high-quality offense under the defense of the Hammer, including inside and outside players, and the triangle tactic is actually a superstar singles tactic. So after so many failures, will you still insist on using the triangle tactic?" A FOX reporter asked.

Phil Jackson looked at the reporter expressionlessly, then lowered his eyelids and said, "I don't just use the triangle tactics, it's just one of my tactics."

"Kobe, if this season fails, what do you think is the reason? Hammer thinks his current defense is unsolvable, do you think this is the reason?" a reporter asked.

Kobe glanced at Li Ba next to him and sneered, "We must have not done our best in some aspects, that is the reason for failure. As for what a certain guy said, we can treat it as a joke."

"Hammer, what do you think of Game 1?" a reporter asked.

Finally asked me? Li Ba was in high spirits and said quickly, "What can I think? I hope they still play like this in Game 2, and we will definitely win."

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Kobe couldn't sit still, stood up and walked away, leaving the court directly.

Looking at Kobe, Li Ba laughed and stood up and left immediately.

He didn't want to waste time with these damn media, his baby daughter and girl were still waiting for him outside.

On the way home, Yao Ming called, and Li Ba stopped by the roadside to answer the call.

The Heat's second round started tonight, and the opponent was the Raptors. The Heat won the G1 game. Yao Ming scored 35+11 and sent four blocks, which was a good performance.

"Iron Hammer, we will meet in the finals." Yao Ming shouted.

"Very excited, Yao Ming, you will have no problem playing against Bosh, and you will have no problem entering the Eastern Conference Finals, so I wish you to beat the old Shark." Li Ba laughed.

"Shark is indeed old, I am not afraid of him." Yao Ming said excitedly.

"Haslem's strength is still good. I think you and him are a good partner. He defends your offense and he is a good match for you. But you have to control your playing time and don't make it weak in the last quarter. You can talk to Pat Riley as the main force. He should be very clear about this, but you must emphasize that this is a problem that is beneficial to the team. You must arrange your playing time and rhythm." Li Ba said.

"I know, I know." Yao Ming said quickly.

After the call ended, Li Ba looked at Yatou and Guoguo in the back. The little guy had fallen asleep, so he drove quickly.

"By the way, Big Hammer, Huayi Company is going to go public this year." Yatou suddenly asked.

"Going public? Are they developing so well?" Li Ba said in surprise.

He didn't pay much attention to it. When he bought the stock a few years ago, Huayi was still a small company that had just transformed into a film and television company. He didn't expect that it would go public in a few years. This is better than the development of his own Xianbei.

"It is developing well, but our Xianbei is not bad either. Our capital scale is more sufficient than theirs, and our domestic resources are not worse than theirs. The paste here in Hollywood is much stronger than them, and the profit is higher than theirs. It's just that the management is not as strong as theirs, and the capital operation is somewhat weak. Do you think we should operate the listing?" Yatou asked.

"I don't understand this. If you think it's okay, it's okay." Li Ba smiled.

"Then I'll ask Sister Yuanyuan, she is also a shareholder." Yatou smiled.

"Okay. Oh, by the way, you said the management is not good, so you should also look for Yuanyuan. They have many family connections, so it's a waste not to use them. Maybe they can make some good recommendations. Regarding the employment, Yuanyuan may have some concerns and will not take the initiative to arrange for someone to come in. You should be more proactive." Li Ba said with a smile.

"Well, I know." The girl smiled.

...

The next morning, Gao Yuanyuan called and said that she had hired a tennis coach for him.

"Zhang Depei?" Li Ba was a little happy when he heard that it was this person.

"Meet him when I go to Los Angeles in a few days. I have an appointment with him to meet there and talk about it." Gao Yuanyuan said.

"Okay, you arrange it. By the way, is he willing?" Li Ba said.

"I have signed the contract, how can I not be willing? I will contact the club later and get your wild card first." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

At this moment, in London, England, the headquarters of the All England Club.

This club, that is, the Wimbledon All England Lawn Tennis Championships, is the owner of Wimbledon.

The news that Li Ba wants to participate in professional tennis tournaments and wants to play in Wimbledon and the US Open has spread all over the world today, and has also reached the All England Club.

Although Gao Yuanyuan has not contacted the All England Club yet, the club has already held an internal meeting on this matter.

There are a total of eight wild cards. Should we issue one to Li Ba? We need to make a decision as soon as possible, because the media will definitely find the club in the shortest possible time.

The so-called wild card is specially prepared for some low-ranking or star players and local players. It is divided into qualifying wild cards and main draw wild cards. The former starts from the qualifying round, and the latter directly participates in the main draw.

Li Ba's situation, according to his status and influence in the sports world, does meet the requirements of wild cards to a certain extent.

Therefore, the All England Club is not opposed to giving Li Ba a wild card, but now there are two problems that bother the club's management. One is Li Ba's tennis level, and the other is that Li Ba has not contacted the club.

However, the second problem soon disappeared, and Li Ba contacted the club.

However, it was not Gao Yuanyuan's call, but Gao Yuanyuan entrusted Zhang Depei to make this call.

Zhang Depei assured the club of Li Ba's professional level on the phone.

Although Zhang Depei has not won the Wimbledon championship, he is also a world-renowned Grand Slam champion and has won the French Open championship, so the All England Club immediately decided to issue a wild card to Li Ba, and it was a main draw wild card. Li Ba should not have time to participate in the qualifying round.

In the afternoon, the news that Li Ba won the Wimbledon main draw wild card was officially released.

Many media have questioned Li Ba's tennis level, and most of them are speculating whether Li Ba is doing this just like he wants to do boxing?
