The reason why Bruce is so sure that the Mavericks can sign Hu Weidong for five years is simple. Bruce decided to negotiate with Mavericks owner Mark Cuban for a "cabbage price" of five years.

Hu Weidong signed with the Mavericks at a "cabbage price" for five years. Not only did the Mavericks make money, but Hu Weidong also made money. As for why, I will explain below.

"Oh, tell me." Bruce's cautious attitude aroused Nelson's curiosity.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Mr. Nelson, you must not know the situation of Asian basketball. Nowadays, Asian basketball is generally lagging behind and wants to catch up with European and American countries as soon as possible, so the Asian Basketball Association has come up with a way, that is, to launch the Asian Championships.

It is a continental competition, and the Asian Championships are held every two years." Bruce said with a wry smile.

"What, what, the Asian Championships held every two years?" Nelson was suddenly surprised.

You must know that even the American Championships are held every four years, not to mention other sports, including the Olympic Games, which are only held every four years, but the Asian Basketball Championship is actually held every two years. Haha, Old Nelson shook helplessly

He shook his head, wouldn't this ruin a player's career? With so many games and traveling back and forth, such a player would be ruined if not ruined.

"Yes, and this doesn't count the Asian Games, World Championships, and Olympic Games. Let me tell you, if Hu Weidong succeeds in his trial training, he will have to participate in these competitions." Bruce could only continue.

"NONONO, Bruce, I know that the Chinese team is currently the dominant player in Asian basketball. Just like our dream team, they can randomly send players to win the game. There is no need for Hu to participate in so many games..." Even if the games are frequent,

, we can’t do this. It stands to reason that China is so strong in Asia, and the absence of Hu Weidong will not affect the overall situation.

"Coach Nelson, you don't understand our country's system. Let's just give it a score. If Hu plays for our Han team, I will have to let him go back to play every year. This is how our country is..." What do you mean specifically?

Just understand it in detail, I won’t say anything else.

Then why bother Hu Weidong? If he goes back every year with injuries all over his body, isn’t it going to cause us trouble? No more, no more.

"Forget it, Bruce, it's too much trouble. I will still have to negotiate with the Chinese side. I hate trouble..." Old Nelson's desire for Hu Weidong faded away in an instant.

Did Nelson just give up?

Bruce didn't expect this to be the case!

I have to say that Bruce's talk to Nelson not only failed to promote Hu Weidong to the NBA, but blocked his path to the NBA.

Bruce is really good at deceiving people. He is not afraid that Hu Weidong will chop you with a knife when he finds out. You must know that killing people's money is like killing their parents. Bruce can kill Hu Weidong's dream of becoming a billionaire.

Already.

"No, you haven't heard me finish yet. Hu Weidong is indeed the best Asian player currently. If the Mavericks don't select him, he can still enter the NBA. As far as I know, another NBA team has sent an application for a trial training.

Hu Weidong is still thinking about it at this moment, but the Mavericks will definitely regret it if they miss out on Hu Weidong this time." Bruce is also anxious now. He didn't expect it to have the opposite effect, but there is nothing he can do. He always has to say

Yes, the Asian Basketball Association is really annoying, and he also has to tell the Mavericks about the situation with the Asian Basketball Association. After all, they are friendly forces.

Because there were so many troubles, Bruce directly adopted the method of buying players to study in universities in the United States to send all the elite talents from China to study abroad, so that they did not have to worry about the Basketball Association.

"Oh, haha, regret? Tell me why you regret it?" Old Nelson laughed angrily. This was the first time he heard something he would regret.

"Coach Nelson, I'm afraid you don't know the income of the Han Chinese team in Asia, right?" Bruce was happy when he mentioned this. He was really happy. The Han Chinese team is making money in Asia, especially in East Asia, at an unparalleled rate.

Achievable.

The promotional products of the Han Chinese team in Asia (team logo, jerseys, scarves, etc.) have been sold like crazy whether in their own countries or in Japan and South Korea.

You may have questions, that is, if it is your own country, it must be like this. As for why Japan and South Korea buy Han Chinese team products.

The reason is that Bruce has already set up branches in South Korea and Japan for large-scale publicity. As for the effect, it is definitely not as good as that in China, but it is not too bad.

"Let me tell you this, even if I don't get any dividends from the league, the Han Chinese team can still do direct marketing." Bruce said confidently.

Although they have to pay high salaries to the players every year, with the base camp in Asia, the Han Chinese team's income can just equal this cost.

Never doubt the enthusiasm of the Chinese people. You must know that there are many posters of the New York Hans posted in the dormitories of high schools and even universities. The Hans are indeed so awesome in China and they are indeed so profitable!

"Making money like this? What the hell does that matter?" Old Nelson has been in the league for so long and knows that the profits of each team are indeed not high, and some even run the team at a loss. After all, many of them have other people.

Fixed assets can be invested, and even teams that are losing money can still pay their players wages normally.

After all, the market value of the team is soaring every year. If you sell it, won't you get all the money back?

"Why don't you care about Hu Weidong? You always think, if Hu Weidong can be the first Chinese to enter the NBA, wouldn't the Mavericks' influence in China be lost? Just ask Mark, he

I'm relatively good at this." Bruce doesn't want to share China's cake with other teams, especially teams like the Lakers and Knicks, but there is no way. The Han team can't always occupy such a large piece of China's cake.

, even if Bruce wanted Stern, he would not agree. This is not in the interest of the alliance. Stern just wants everyone to be good and that is really good...

If that's the case, then why doesn't Bruce take advantage of allied teams like the SuperSonics and Mavericks?

"Well, I really don't understand the business aspect, but it would be too troublesome for Hu to join the Mavericks, especially since he has to fly back to Asia every year to participate in intercontinental competitions. It is easy to get injured in such back and forth games. What the Mavericks are missing now is instant

Combat strength, we don't have much time to wait for Hu to adapt..." Hu Weidong's problems are really nerve-wracking. If these problems are not considered, then Nelson is basically willing to give Hu Weidong a chance to try out.

"It's not so absolute. After all, it's my team that went out, and Mark and I are allies. I will try my best to make peace with the Basketball Association regarding Hu Weidong's issue. As long as you always give me a chance, I believe

He is still worth every penny." In order for Hu Weidong to enter the NBA, Bruce is really fighting hard. He will try his best to persuade the Basketball Association to let Hu Weidong play less intercontinental games.

"Okay, if possible, tell him to pack up and come for a trial training." Since the Mavericks are in urgent need of shooting guards, Nelson is not prepared to wait any longer.

"I'm afraid this won't work. What about next year? I need time to take care of it. There is also another player who will participate in the draft next year. Then they can compete on the same stage." Bruce is happy when he mentions this, why, next year
Chapter completed!
