Chapter 1501 (2/2)
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, ”yes. Westerners pay attention to personality, while Chinese people have a strong sense of national pride and pride. If there is a basketball player who can play the whole court in the NBA, he will immediately become a hero of China, with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of fans, which is the guarantee of ratings. Just like Ning Xinghua and Lu Hongwei who play in Europe, they have more than 300 million fans in China, which has led countless people to watch the European Football League. Basketball also needs Chinese stars
Kennedy thought, ”maybe you're right. It is not easy to train a Chinese basketball player to become a superstar in NBA. Unless he has the ability to stand out from others, there is no such possibility. NBA players won't let him
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, ”it's up to people. There are definitely people like Kirby among Chinese players, just to see if you have a pair of insight? ”
Kennedy thought about it, turned to Bryce and said, ”we have only three Chinese players left in the NBA this season, and they will all leave next year. Bryce, have you ever thought about importing players from China? If successful, it will bring unimaginable benefits to the Laker club
Kennedy wanted to use the Lakers as a pilot to see how it worked. If Chinese players can really adapt to NBA games, he will call on other teams to raise Chinese players to the standard of European players.
In fact, there was no need for him to call at that time. As long as the other teams see that there is a profit, everyone will go for it.
Bryce shook his head and said, ”it's hard. Two years ago, the Laker team got one of the best performance players in China professional basketball game through the draft, but the performance was not ideal either in the field or in the training field. The key is that the other players have a lot of opinions about him and can't really integrate into the whole team. We had to terminate the contract. If you want to bring in Chinese players again, then the board of directors must give me authorization. ”In Bryce's mind, Chinese players are obviously inferior to European and American players in terms of physical fitness, physical fitness and skills. He does not want to introduce them, let alone become starters.
The Lakers have come to this day with the ability to win the championship. He doesn't want to take the risk.
If something goes wrong and the good situation is ruined, he will have to cry to death. Kennedy naturally recognized Bryce's meaning and frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.
After all, this is the internal affairs of the Lakers. Even if he is the president of the NBA, he can't meddle in it at will.
He can't, but Xiao Yunhai can.
”Mr. Bryce, you own 34 percent of the Laker basketball club, and I control 18 percent, which adds up to more than 50 percent. So as long as you agree, there's no problem. And I can go directly to the Chinese Basketball Association and choose the best players for the Lakers
Xiao Yunhai didn't give Bryce the chance to refuse at all, and directly spread it on the table.
Kennedy laughed and said, ”that's great. Bryce, I think you'll agree? ”
Bryce's throat moved and forced to smile: ”since Mr. Shaw supports it, how can I disagree?”
The introduction of Chinese players under the pressure of Kennedy and Xiao Yunhai, Bryce reluctantly agreed.
At this time, the second quarter of the game began, Xiao Yunhai back to the scene.
After a fierce confrontation, the Lakers finished the first half with a 47-44 lead over the Spurs.
A group of hot body basketball baby on stage to start the performance, that hot passion, let the scene fans cry.
