Chapter 798 Draft

Holyfield also accepted an interview and said: "I will go to the scene, but I don't think that a non-professional, or even a non-professional person, can defeat Xiao Ke. Even if he is the top basketball player now, but he is not at all. no chance.

Don't use your own interests to challenge our professionalism. When you stand on the ring, you will find that you will face a nightmare.

Finally, I want to say that I am optimistic about Xiao Ke, and I will bet heavily on him. "

Even Karl Malone ran out this time, and said to the media: "I will bet heavily on Xiao Ke, at least five million dollars. I am optimistic about his strength."

After the news of the boxing match was announced, there was an immediate market effect. The MGM Hotel immediately announced that the house price for the week before and after the boxing match would be increased by three to five times.

At the same time, house prices in all Las Vegas have also increased by two to three times.

Some media suspected that the occupancy rate of these hotels would plummet, but they were quickly slapped in the face. It took only 20 minutes for the MGM Hotel to announce that it would no longer accept room reservations for a week before and after the boxing match.

This news directly accelerated the scheduled sales of hotel rooms in Las Vegas.

Li Ba completed the training in the virtual interface in the bathtub of the hotel. It took a total of one hour, which is equivalent to ten hours of training in reality. It didn't consume much on the body, but it was a great test on the spirit and willpower.

As soon as he came out, he saw Gao Yuanyuan sitting and chatting with Liu Yifei.

"Yuanyuan, how long have you been here?" Li Ba asked.

"Half an hour. You soaked in it for so long?" Gao Yuanyuan said.

"Use hot water to relax the muscles, but the effect is not as good as that at home. The bathtub at home has a massage effect, but the hotel does not." Li Ba said.

"We're going to Las Vegas soon, let the hotel prepare that kind of bathtub for you?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"Yes." Li Ba said.

"That's fine, I'll inform Mrs. Liz." Gao Yuanyuan said.

"What are you talking about?" Li Ba sat next to the girl and asked casually.

"Tickets, one hundred more tickets are not enough. I answered a lot of calls in China, but I didn't recognize them, and I didn't know how to find me."

The girl said distressedly.

"It's fine if you don't know each other. Ming told them that the total number of votes is not enough." Li Ba laughed.

"Uh-huh."

After Gao Yuanyuan made the phone call, he said, "Tie Hammer, all the major casinos in the world are now holding boxing matches, and they don't think much of you."

This is the second group of people paralyzed by Arum's fake news.

He successfully used fake news to paralyze all the casinos, and none of the casinos were optimistic about Li Ba, and even offered incredible odds.

After listening to it, Li Ba laughed loudly and said, "Quickly check, how much cash can I take out now?"

"You want to place a bet?" Gao Yuanyuan and the girl's eyes widened.

"Of course, isn't this sending me money? I'm confident. Remember the Olympics, I made millions of dollars."

Li Ba laughed.

Gao Yuanyuan said seriously: "Tie Hammer, this is not a joke. You have never fought a professional boxing match. What should you do if you lose?"

"That's right..." The girl echoed repeatedly.

"How much?" Li Ba asked.

The second daughter, Gao Liu, felt helpless for a while. The former did some calculations and said, "I don't know about your private account. The other accounts add up to a total of 130 million US dollars. Including Mr. Duffy's, the money has been transferred to me."

"Cash? Why so much money? Am I out of money? I thought it was only tens of millions of dollars." Li Ba said.

Gao Yuanyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think we're living for free this season? Don't you know what statistics you've played this season? New endorsement and sponsorship contracts have been signed, and this is the fee for this year.

Alas, not to mention defending the championship, you hit 5 doubles, I think we have lost the contract again, and we should push it again.

But fortunately, the sneaker contract will not end until next season's All-Stars, and this needs to be discussed. "

Li Ba rubbed his hands excitedly, and shouted: "The highest one pays 4.5, that is to say, if I bet 100 million, I can get back 450 million, pay off the tax, and I still have about 280 million left, and the net profit is almost the same. 180 million? This business is very profitable!"

"Tuyi, next billion, are you crazy?" Gao Yuanyuan screamed.

Li Ba laughed and said: "Don't worry, if I really bet so much, the odds will change immediately, and people may not accept it. But there are so many casinos, I just need to bet a few more."

The second daughter is helpless, is this still going down?

That night, the 2006 NBA Draft was held as scheduled.

Li Ba still refused to participate, so he took a look in the hotel.

There are no good rookies this year. The Suns have a total of three first-round picks, staring at the rookies at the fourth and first positions.

The Suns ranked second in the regular season, with the No. 29 pick in the first round, which is not of much value.

The other two are the No. 5 pick of the Eagles and the No. 12 pick of the Hornets.

In other words, the two first-round picks traded are both lottery picks, so luck is good.

Colangelo has studied this rookie for a long time. The most popular rookies this year are all big men, such as Andrea Bargnani, LaMarcus Aldridge, Adam Morrison , Tyrus Thomas, etc., are all forwards, and the No. 5 pick in the hands of the Suns can select one of them.

But what he wants to choose now is the No. 1 position.

Barbosa plays the main point guard, but his ability is still a bit weak. The team needs to train a full-time point guard.

He has his eye on one of the guys.

The guy wasn't doing well in the draft market, didn't make the lottery, was under 20 in the first round, but he has big hands.

Hammer also has a pair of big hands, so he decided to choose this young man, hoping that this guy who also has a pair of big hands will have good potential.

At the beginning of the draft, the Raptors with the No. 1 pick selected Andrea Bargnani, then the Bulls selected LaMarcus Aldridge, and finally Jordan selected Adam Morrison on behalf of the Bobcats.

The new No. 1 pick, No. 2 pick, and Tanhua are hotly released, and they have started to accept media interviews, and the subsequent drafts will continue.

Stern then announced the Blazers with the No. 4 pick, selecting Tyrus Thomas, and then it was the Suns' turn.

Colangelo handed over his own envelope, which eventually made its way to Stern.

"The Phoenix Suns have chosen, Sheldon Williams," Stern read.

In the end, Colangelo used the No. 5 pick in the first round and chose a big man to add some strength to the inside.

Williams is 206 centimeters, and now weighs 100 kilograms. He still needs to gain weight. This is the only remaining big man in this draft. , Take a gamble.

Of course, in fact, Grangelo lost the bet, and Williams was only a marginal man until he retired.
