"Lance, are you here for anything?" he asked casually.
"Old K, Rob Lundgren and Will Houston have contacted us several times, asking for reconciliation."
"Let them die."
"Okay, this problem is over, they will become your past tense. In addition, CAA helped you negotiate a men's clothing brand endorsement. In addition to signing the contract, this time you need to take some photos." Hawksman said.
"Haha, Lance, you are truly an angel." Lao Wang said with great joy.
He now believes that CAA is really sending him money. Surprises come one after another, I hope it will be one every day.
"This is a motorcycle-style brand called Chongpang." Hawksman said.
"Chong Ling? What a good name, I think it suits my temperament very well." Lao Wang boasted.
Lao Zhang was amused and muttered: "Do you know what kind of temperament you have?"
"By the way, Old K, can you ride a motorcycle?" Hawksman suddenly asked.
"No problem, I have ridden Jialing Honda." Lao Wang said quickly.
"Okay, you have a game today and the signing is scheduled for tomorrow, but I will go find you in the evening and discuss the contract details with you first," said Hoxman.
…
In the afternoon, the Suns conducted two hours of recovery training, which consisted of activities and shooting, but no training.
At 1:30, the Jazz came to America West Arena and started pre-game training.
The Jazz are currently ranked a bit low, and their goal is to break into the top half, at least surpassing the Trail Blazers, so they will definitely strive to win this game.
During training, several reporters were allowed into the stadium to conduct interviews.
"Karl, are you confident against Barkley tonight?" Postman Malone was doing preparations on the sidelines, and a reporter asked.
"I feel confident about beating him," the postman said expressionlessly.
"In the battle between the Knicks and the Suns, the inside combination of Ewing and Oakley also lost to Barkley and Old K. Do you think the Jazz's inside team has an advantage over the Suns?"
another reporter asked.
A trace of cold disdain appeared on the postman's face and he said: "Oakley and Ewing are too gentle with the Suns, but I won't."
…
In the evening, at 6:30, the Suns entered the arena.
Lance Hoxman had arrived and was waiting outside the home team's locker room.
"Lance, how long have you been here?" Lao Wang greeted.
"It's only been ten minutes," Hoxman said with a smile.
After shaking hands, the two came to a deserted place at the end of the corridor and started chatting.
"Let me tell you some news first. The Clevans Law Firm has officially sued Rob Lundgren and Will Houston, and the Arizona State Court has accepted the case." Hoxman said.
"Great, it's best to let these two bastards go bankrupt and sleep on the street." He said excitedly.
"If the media they belong to does not stand up for them, we will definitely win the lawsuit, and bankruptcy is their destined fate."
Hoxman laughed: "Actually, now that they are unemployed, it means that the media has given up on them."
"This is the result I hope for," he said.
At this time, Hawksman said: "Old K, these are two lawsuits. You have to pay two legal fees. Clevens gave us CAA face and sent a barrister to pay one legal fee."
Three hundred thousand dollars, two cents is six hundred thousand dollars."
"..."
He stared at Hawksman in a daze, and then nodded and said, "Here, I really want to see them go bankrupt and sleep on the street."
"OK." Hawksman nodded happily.
In fact, he didn't lie. The price was indeed a discount. If it weren't for CAA's reputation, it would have been impossible for Clevens to accept these two lawsuits against white journalists.
Next, he briefly talked about the men's clothing brand's heavy endorsement contract.
Taking photos of the four seasons throughout the year can be done in one go and does not need to be taken separately. This is the responsibility that Wang Tiejun needs to fulfill.
The endorsement period is three years, and the amount is US$1 million per year. Half is paid when signing the contract, and the balance is paid after one year.
Lao Wang seemed so happy that he picked up another 3 million US dollars for nothing. caa was indeed a money-giving boy.
At this time, Hawksman said: "Old K, I hired a personal stylist, an accountant, and a lawyer for you..."
"No, I can accept accountants and lawyers, but what do I want from a personal stylist? And I can't eat them." Lao Wang said doubtfully.
Hawksman said: "Old K, you are different now. Everything about you must conform to your social status, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. You need to package it. Do you know why Chongping is willing to sign you?"
"Why?" Lao Wang asked.
"Because they see the elements of violence and heavy metal in you," Hawksman said.
"..."
Lao Wang can only express that I am helpless, forget about the violent elements, and the heavy metal elements. I am a human being, not music. Do I have to carry a metal bucket on my body in the future?
Hawksman added: "So you need a stylist who can package you with a temperament that is unique to you. You are a basket collector, a sweeper in the penalty area, brutality, ferocity, strength, these all belong to you.
Elements and such a temperament can attract the favor of those brands."
"Okay, okay, for money, I agree." Lao Wang surrendered.
"And..." Hawksman said.
"besides?"
"Yes, I am here this time to buy you a villa of your own." Hawksman said with a smile.
"You pay?" Lao Wang asked tentatively.
"Of course not, you pay for it yourself." Hawksman shook his head quickly.
"Then I have no money." Lao Wang immediately shook his head.
"No, the endorsement fee this time is enough. Of course you don't need to buy those luxury villas now, ordinary single-family villas are enough. The real estate prices in Phoenix are not high. The average villa in a single-family community is US$300,000.
It's enough, and it would be cheaper if it was a second-hand house, but it needs to be renovated," said Hoxman with a smile.
"Must you buy it?" Lao Wang said.
"You are a star, so you must have your own style. CAA will not allow its stars to live in shabby rented houses. It will lower the quality of CAA." Hawksman said.
"Okay, okay, just pretend you haven't received this endorsement." Lao Wang could only agree.
Now he knows that CAA can bring him a lot, but it is also very troublesome because they have more demands on the signees, almost everything. Gu Jie
After the two chatted for a while, Hoxman left.
…
In the locker room, Barkley repeatedly warned Wang Tiejun: "Be careful of that bastard postman. Oakley's elbow will not kill you or ruin your career. The purpose is defense, but his elbow will. In his eyes
There is no safety for his opponent at all, and that is not a consideration for him.
Last season, when he was playing against the Pistons at home, he knocked down the smiling assassin who was going for a layup with an elbow. Isiah Thomas had more than 40 stitches on his head. He was lucky not to die.
You should remember his nickname, his name is Dr. Iron Elbow."
"I know." Lao Wang nodded repeatedly.
This is the experience gained by seniors like Buckley who paid a bloody price for that postman. He cherishes it very much and must pay attention to it, otherwise the blood of Buckley and the others will be in vain.
Speaking of elbows, ahem, he didn't dare to use the heart elbow. The movement was too big, and with his strength and physique, even if his explosive power was not enough, he could still kill someone with one elbow.
He rubbed his right elbow with his left hand. There was a layer of calluses there, as well as his left elbow. He murmured in his mouth: "Maybe I should strike first?"
"Old K, let me check your brow bone to see if the sutures can be removed." Andrew John came over and said.
"Let's see." Lao Wang said.
After checking, the wound healed well, and the sutures were quickly removed, some medicine was added, and a band-aid was reattached.
"Be careful, don't get elbowed here by the postman." Andrew John warned.
At half past seven, the substitute came on, and the starting lineup was announced at the same time.
Jazz: Mike Brown, Karl Malone, Tyrone Corbin, Jeff Malone, John Stockton
Suns: Wang Tiejun, Barkley, Ceballos, Dan Maley, Kevin Johnson
The game was not broadcast live across the United States, only in Phoenix.
The on-site commentator was analyzing the lineup at this time: "The Jazz did not send their pseudo-starting center Mark Eaton because they knew that this big guy who is 224 centimeters tall and weighs 125 kilograms could not deal with Old K, so they sent a faster player.
Fast big man Mike Brown.
But I want to say, can Mike Brown, a role player who is 120 kilograms and 206 centimeters tall, be able to deal with Old K? He will not be faster than Old K.
We often say that Old K's mobility is not good, but that is when facing the three super centers, O'Neal, Mourning and other talented guys, not ordinary guys."
At this time, in the home team's locker room, assistant coach Lewis is also analyzing the Jazz's lineup for everyone. This is just to refresh their memory. In fact, we have already talked about it in the afternoon.
Comparing the lineups of the two teams, the fourth position can be evenly matched. The Jazz's Tyrone Corbin at the third position is average, but Ceballos is also a rookie and does not get many opportunities. The Jazz's Jeff Malone and Dan Mulley are at the second position.
They are both All-Stars and equally capable. John Stokes is a little stronger at the No. 1 position, but the Suns have a big advantage at the No. 5 position.
The Jazz are also giving final tactical explanations.
"Karl, you have to help the fifth position on the defensive end and strengthen the weak side defense." Jerry Sloan said.
Postman Malone nodded. The three super centers and O'Neal would not double-team Wang Tiejun, but he had no such idea.
In order to win, there is no point in double-teaming a rookie. If the rookie prevents him from winning, he can use all means to deal with him.
At 7:45, the starting lineups of the two teams left the locker room and headed to the player tunnel.
"Ma Long, I'm warning you, don't move your damn elbow tonight."
"Barkley, please remember to stay away from me tonight. This is my warning to you."
As soon as the two most powerful power forwards today met, they started fighting.
They are now at their peak, both in strength and willpower, and they are full of confidence in themselves, which makes them full of momentum.
Kevin Johnson and John Stockton, two of the league's top point guards, sparkled when they met together.
However, Kevin Johnson has come down from his peak this season, averaging only 16 points, 8 assists and 1.7 steals per game, while Stockton is still at his peak, averaging 15 points, 12 assists and 2.4 steals per game, so the latter has more momentum.
Wang Tiejun didn't take stock of his opponent tonight. Even if the Jazz's main center Mark Eaton was not injured, he was just a pseudo-starter. With an average of less than 20 minutes per game, it can be said that the Jazz's No. 5 position is better than the Bulls' No. 5 position.
He didn't care at all, and his eyes fell on the face of the postman Malone.
This postman, he learned some information from Buckley in the past two days.
To put it simply, Jazz No. 32 is a bad guy among bad guys on the court and a scumbag off the court. It is said that he once got a 13-year-old girl pregnant in college. I don’t know if it is true or not, but the postman will not admit it.
But in fact this is true, because the postman's illegitimate daughter entered the American Women's Professional Football League WNFL twenty years later. Although the postman did not recognize the illegitimate daughter, he gave her sports talent.
"Boy, what are you looking at?"
Postman Ma Long looked sideways at Lao Wang and scolded him coldly.
Lao Wang blinked and said, "I see, what does it have to do with you?"
"..."
Postman Ma Long was startled. These words were a bit philosophical and difficult to understand.
"Pfft!"
Buckley couldn't hold back his laughter.
Postman Malone realized that this kid was playing tricks on him and immediately became furious.
When is it a rookie's turn to play tricks on him? Even guys like Jordan's Dream are not qualified to play tricks on him, so how dare this rookie?
"Damn rookie, do you want to cause trouble?" He rushed to Lao Wang in two big steps, puffed out his chest, and bumped into him.
"Bang!"
The two collided with each other. The postman who took the initiative to bump into him took a small step back, and Wang Tiejun also took a step back.
"Go away, you damn Dr. Iron Elbow!" Lao Wang shouted angrily and pushed the postman away with both hands.
"Everyone stand back, stand back!"
A team of security guards in the players' tunnel reacted quickly, immediately rushed up to separate the two groups of players, and stood in the middle to separate them.
"The power is very strong!"
Lao Wang looked at the postman opposite through the wall of people.
He has muscles all over his body, his chest muscles are particularly developed, and he has a strong sense of strength. His elbows are really thick, his upper arm muscles are extremely developed, and his lower limb muscles are also very developed. His absolute strength should be as strong as his upper limbs, but he may not be as explosive as him.
.
He didn't use the iron support just now, otherwise the postman wouldn't be able to hit him at all. If you think about it this way, if he didn't use the iron support during the low back attack, it might be difficult to hit the postman, even if he weighs 8
Kilogram.
"Boy, wait!"
At this time, the away team started to play. The postman with a fierce look raised his finger and pointed at Wang Tiejun, said a harsh word, and then walked out of the passage.
"Be careful, Old K, this guy is very aggressive on the field and full of malice!"
This time it was Kevin Johnson's turn to remind Lao Wang that every time he played against the Jazz, he rarely made breakthroughs because he was afraid of rushing forward and being elbowed to death by the postman.
