Chapter 186 FMVP votes(1/2)
At this time, David Stern had already arrived at the scene, holding an envelope in his hand. This was the FMVP selection result, and he hadn't read it yet.
Looking at the envelope in Stern's hand, Barkley could not help but stare.
Now that he has won the championship, his pursuit of FMVP has become his biggest expectation.
Achieving mvp, championship, and fmvp in one season is the symbol of a historical superstar.
"Charles, it's yours." Lao Wang, who was standing behind, patted Buckley's shoulder in front and comforted him.
Turning his head and looking up at Lao Wang, Buckley said movedly: "Brother, we rely on luck. If it is yours, I congratulate you."
"Then I'm welcome." Lao Wang burst into laughter.
Buckley rolled his eyes, "Old K, don't you know how to be polite, you little bastard?"
At this time, David Stern opened the envelope and pulled out a piece of letter paper.
Bang bang bang...
Buckley's heart raced.
Not far away, at the front of the group of ladies, was his wife Maureen, also praying for him with her hands clasped together.
"Will the situation change?" John Hanks said excitedly in the ABC live broadcast.
"Normally not." Bill Walton shook his head and smiled.
David Stern looked at the name on the letter, smiled, looked at everyone present, and finally his eyes fell on Buckley's face.
Buckley's heart rate jumped from 150 to 200 in an instant, and he was about to panic.
"Congratulations, Charles Barkley." Stern said at this time.
"yeah!"
Barkley cheered crazily, and the audience burst into warm applause.
"Congratulations, brother."
Lao Wang and others also sent their own congratulations.
"Congratulations, dear."
"Thanks, dear."
Maureen came quickly and gave her a hug and a kiss.
"Hello, Wang."
At this time, Stern smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to Wang Tiejun.
"Hello, Mr. Stern." Wang Tiejun smiled.
"Young man, you performed well in your rookie season. I hope you can perform even better in the future," Stern said with a smile.
"I will." Lao Wang nodded quickly.
"You know, in the FMVP selection just now, you got two votes." Stern suddenly laughed.
Lao Wang was startled, there is still someone choosing me?
As far as he knew, a total of 9 reporters participated in the selection, plus the reporters accompanying the two teams, there were 11 people in total. He got two, so Barkley got 9?
"Michael Jordan got 4, too," Stern said at the end before leaving.
Lao Wang was stunned, wouldn't it mean that Barkley only has one more card than Jordan? What a risk! If Jordan, a loser, takes it away, what face will the Suns have?
Next came the awarding of the championship trophy and FMVP trophy. Colangelo raised the championship trophy, and the entire American West Arena, the entire Phoenix, and even the entire state of Arizona suddenly burst into excitement.
After the awards ceremony ended, the Suns continued to stay at the scene to celebrate the championship with their fans, who lingered for a long time.
Lao Wang was surrounded by a large group of enthusiastic beauties, including some beautiful little stars and models. Even reporters couldn't squeeze in, but it didn't stop them from squeezing around inside.
Lance Hoxman and Roman Weeks stood outside, the Suns won the championship, and Wang Tiejun once again had a super performance of 33,159, a near-triple-double, and both of them were very excited.
Lao Wang got a lot of small notes and promised to call them, so he was able to deal with a group of women.
"Old K, do you want me to help you? I can arrange a hotel room for you and prepare everything." Hawksman said with a smile.
"Okay, you take your pick. I want the most beautiful one with the best figure." Lao Wang handed a bunch of notes to the agent.
"I promise, if there is nothing here that you are satisfied with, I will also choose another one for you from Hollywood. There are a lot of young stars and models there who need exposure opportunities." Hawksman smiled.
"Old K, Mammoth plans to sell your sneakers in Japan and increase a publicity budget." Weeks said with a smile.
"Making money from Japan? I like it." Lao Wang said with a smile.
"But you need to go to Japan."
When Weeks said this, he added: "Don't worry, Old K, I will give you a large fee. Lance and I have already negotiated."
"Old K, the attendance fee is 300,000 US dollars. In addition, there are countless Japanese beauties waiting for you there. They have been captured by you and are waiting for your rescue." Hawksman whispered in his ear.
"Then you must go. It is my unshirkable responsibility to save them." Lao Wang, who was a little reluctant at first, immediately said seriously.
"Haha..." The three of them laughed.
"By the way, what other jobs do I have in the United States? Lance, didn't you say you were going to negotiate a sponsorship contract for me?" he asked again.
"Old K, Lance, I'll take my leave now and see you in a few days." At this time, Weeks said.
After seeing off Wicks, Lance Hoxman said: "Old K, don't worry, our CAA has nothing else, but we have more than half of Hollywood's big stars and well-known directors, and there are more than a thousand in the world.
Brand companies have close cooperation with us. As long as you perform well enough, there will be no shortage of sponsorship and endorsement resources, and there will be some brands willing to find you for endorsements.
I am currently negotiating no fewer than ten sponsorship and endorsement contracts. Although I cannot get top-notch and first-class resources, there are plenty of second- and third-tier ones, and even quasi-first-tier brands are possible.
In addition, the contracts that Mr. Colangelo took over for you last time are sponsorship contracts with several local companies in Phoenix.
Originally, these contracts have been negotiated, but your performance in the playoffs was so great, you won the championship again, and your performance in the finals was like a superstar, so you still need to renegotiate it, so Old K, you still have to
Take some time.
But I promise, it will be worth it. The new contract will definitely be much higher than the old contract, and it will be settled quickly. You only need to stay in the United States for half a month. By then, you can get at least a total of more than 1,000 yuan from these companies.
Ten thousand dollar contract.”
"That would be great!"
What Lao Wang is most satisfied with about joining CAA is that he can make money. CAA's resources in this area are so good. If he signs with a normal NBA agent, even a top agent, it is impossible to find him so many sponsors like CAA.
"Also, the second trial of your two lawsuits will arrive in two days. This is the last time. We are already sure of victory. Have you figured out how to celebrate?" Hoxman said with a smile.
"I'll have a party and open a case of champagne," he said happily.
"Okay, I'll prepare a party for you." Hawksman smiled.
At this time, the on-site celebrations ended, and Wang Tiejun and other fans who bid farewell to the players returned to the locker room.
"Fuck, my legs are going to cramp."
I didn't think I was too excited just now, but now I returned to the locker room and sat down. As soon as I relaxed, Wang Tiejun's calf muscles started beating non-stop.
"Come and lie down."
Aaron Nelson quickly asked him to come over and started massaging him.
"Bang bang bang..."
At this time, a series of bottle opening sounds were heard, like gunshots. He turned around and saw that a group of waiters had opened a box of prepared champagne and sprayed it everywhere.
"Holy shit!"
In the blink of an eye, he saw Buckley and others rushing towards him. He was lying on the massage table and couldn't run away. He was sprayed all over and his underwear was soaked through.
Colangelo and other management and coaching staff came in at this time and were sprayed all over their heads and faces, but everyone could only smile uncontrollably on their faces.
"Sir, how much money can each of us get in the playoffs?" After the madness, Lao Wang asked the question he was most concerned about.
Colangelo shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Old K, each of you can get at least 250,000 US dollars."
"Oh, that's great!" Everyone roared excitedly.
Especially a few fringe players and role players with basic salary contracts worth hundreds of thousands, they are happier than winning a championship.
Next, after everyone took a shower, they collectively participated in the post-match press conference, which was already an hour later than usual, and it was already early in the morning.
However, there is no shortage of media. Whether it is the Bulls or the Suns, the press hall is packed, and the first two rows are full of tripod cameras.
"Sir Barkley, congratulations on winning the MVP, the championship, and the three FMVP honors in one season. Do you think this is the most glorious time in your life?" the first reporter asked.
Barkley's face had long since burst from laughter, and he stammered with a smile: "Thank you, yes, haha, okay, you are right, thank you everyone, I feel that my career is complete, yes...
"
"Old K, that last free throw, I'm talking about the second free throw, when we were still one point behind and could have tied the game if we made the free throw, did you hit the basket on purpose? Did you want to take a gamble?
Really?" a reporter asked.
Lao Wang nodded without hesitation: "You're right, that's what I did."
"But what if it doesn't succeed? I don't think coach Westphal will deploy such a dangerous tactic, right?" the reporter asked.
"No, the coach wanted overtime, but you should know about my free throws. Pippen said at the time that based on my free throw probability, I couldn't make the second free throw. Yes, I thought so too. I made the second free throw.
To be continued...
