Gonzaga's campus is as peaceful as ever, and Lu Yu spends every day in training and games.
Occasionally I would flirt with Anne Hathaway.
After fifteen games, the Gonzaga Bulldogs ranked first in the West Coast Conference with an undefeated record.
Successfully got a seat in the top 64 of the NCAA.
All Gonzaga Bulldogs players are training harder to prepare for March Madness!
The first place in the thirty-one divisions will successfully enter the NCAA top sixty-four.
The experts from the NCAA Organizing Committee will select another thirty-three teams based on their strength.
Unfortunately, the Gonzaga Bulldogs have become the only one in the West Coast Conference. The other teams in the West Coast Conference are too weak in the entire NCAA to attract the attention of experts.
Because of this, Lu Yu has become the hope of the entire West Coast League.
All West Coast League fans hope that Gonzaga, under the leadership of Lu Yu, can advance to the Sweet Sixteen, the Quarterfinals, the Final Four, and even the final round!
The thirty-three places selected by experts from the thirty-three organizing committees are also called expanded invitations. Each year's selection is full of controversy. Although performance is the main basis, it does not all rely on performance as the criterion.
Although some teams have achieved a winning rate of 80%, they still cannot get invitations because their league is a weak league in the NCAA, and the teams they play against are mostly weak teams.
There is only a 60%-70% winning rate, but because the opponents they face are all strong opponents, they will get invitations.
There is a special evaluation system in the NCAA, called RPI, which means combat power index. This index is used as an important reference data for the NCAA organizing committee to choose to expand the number of invitations.
The 64 teams will be divided into the Eastern Region, the Western Region, the Central and Western Region, and the Southeast Region to compete in a single knockout match in a neutral city. The winner will be determined by one knockout match.
The first opponent of the Gonzaga Bulldogs is the University of Virginia Cavaliers, and the game will be held at Madison Square Garden Arena in New York.
After training every night, Mark Four will gather all the players together to study the University of Virginia game video, watch it game by game, and compare the opponent's usual tactics, the style and playing habits of each opposing player.
A thorough understanding.
By the way, the competition is on March 3rd.
It’s the first day of March Madness!
…
Gonzaga University dormitories.
Snoopy looked at the phone card in the box in front of him with a sad look on his face.
"I've used this one from Seattle... I've also used this one from Washington... That stupid Lu Yu, why do you want me to make phone calls, change my voice, and even ask me to act like a sissy!"
Finally, he found a brand new phone card in the box.
"I haven't used this Boston one, so this is it."
Snoopy inserted the calling card into his phone and quickly dialed a number.
Snoopy dialed this number for two months and could remember the numbers with his eyes closed.
The phone beeped twice and was connected.
Snoopy lowered his voice and said: "Is this Mr. Fender, the general manager of Macfadden Publishing Company, which owns Sport magazine?"
"Yes, who are you?" Steve Fender replied.
"Hello, Mr. Fender, I am Blake, the manager of Boston Sports Investment Company. Our company is very interested in the copyright of "Sport" magazine under your publisher's name, and is willing to pay US$300,000 to acquire it... Hey, hey, you damn you
Just listen to what I have to say!"
Snoopy threw his phone on the table and stretched comfortably.
During this time, he made calls to Lu Yu, and he gradually understood Lu Yu's thoughts. It was obvious that Lu Yu wanted to acquire the copyright of "Sport" magazine.
But isn't this approach a bit too dark...
You must know that forty years ago, "Sport" magazine was asking for US$250,000, but it was still unwilling to sell it at this price.
Lu Yu was lucky and asked Snoopy to keep giving low prices.
Snoopy still remembers being scolded by Fender when he first called. However, after this period of constant quotations, it seems...
Mr. Fender's attitude has improved a lot?
New York, Macfadden Publishing Company.
Steve Fender weakly threw his cell phone on his desk, and the cigar in his hand no longer felt sweet.
When "Sport" magazine just closed, he had not thought about selling "Sport" magazine. Perhaps he was unwilling to lose to "Sports Illustrated", or he wanted to wait for a price to sell it.
In short, he was not in a hurry.
At first, Fende received quotes from several companies one after another. The prices were not very high, but they were still within a reasonable range. Who knew that after a few days, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the prices quoted became lower and lower, which made him
I couldn't help but want to yell.
"You're quoted $150,000, why not grab it?"
This is more than five times the price he expected.
However, whether it was a faxed quotation or a telephone quotation, they were all extremely low prices, which made him wonder whether the copyright of "Sport" magazine was really worthless?
Fender couldn't help but become a little anxious.
He specifically consulted his colleagues and found out that the current market is not optimistic about the copyright of "Sport" magazine, especially when "Sports Illustrated" is in full swing.
You must know that "Sports Illustrated" did not make a profit for 12 consecutive years.
Not to mention his highly imitated version of Sports Illustrated.
In fact, the market is indeed not optimistic about the copyright in his hands, but it is not as low as the outrageous price in the quotation.
Lu Yu is controlling all this.
Of course, Lu Yu is also worried that during this period, Fende will be impatient to find a company with a relatively suitable price to sell it at a high price.
So when Finder started to get a little anxious, Lu Yu personally called Finder and quoted a price of US$800,000.
This price is the real transaction price of "sport" magazine.
Fender picked up the phone, flipped to Lu Yu's number and dialed it.
After a long time, the call was finally connected.
"Dear Lu, what have you been busy with recently?" Fender tried his best to speak in a relaxed tone.
The sound of a basketball hitting the ground came from the phone.
Lu Yu gasped and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fender, you also know that we are preparing to play in the NCAA Round of 64, and I am training hard."
"Really? Congratulations to you."
Fender smiled and said: "By the way, Lu, last time you said you would come to New York to talk to me about the copyright of "Sport" magazine. I don't know when you will have time. Of course, I am not in a hurry, and I still want to talk to you about the copyright of "Sport" magazine.
time shall prevail.”
Lu Yu put the basketball on the ground, walked to the side of the court and sat down.
He knew that the more Fender said he was not in a hurry, it meant that he was very anxious.
"In a few days, the team will go to New York to play the first round of 64 game. I will talk to you about this before the game." Lu Yu said while wiping sweat.
Fender was overjoyed: "That's great, I'll wait for you in New York."
After hanging up the phone, Fender picked up the cigar on the table and took a puff.
