Chapter 291: Own brand, training Warcraft, acquiring 2K(2/2)
With the total score between the Pistons and Cavaliers becoming 2:0, more media and fans believe that the Orlando Magic will have a great chance to compete with the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals.
"Dwight, I'm not kidding you. Do you want you to be treated like the last game? This is Ruth Edison. He will use scientific instruments to help you analyze your shortcomings in free throws." Lin Sen will prepare.
Lin Sen went out to play and went to the University of Chicago training facility provided by the Bulls.
"Scientific instrument? Wood, are you sure you are not joking? Why don't you try it if it works?" Howard said with some dissatisfaction.
"Can't you see that my mid-range shots are much more accurate now than before?"
"It's a bit accurate, but you are you and I am me. I don't think I can learn from it. There is a strip queen coming to Chicago tonight." Howard leaned into Lin Sen's ear and whispered.
"Take off your clothes. You have to practice free throws. I've got Stan and Otis' approval on this."
Howard cried when he heard Lin Sen's words.
Seeing that the protest was ineffective, Howard suddenly remembered: "Darko is not allowed either. He is just a little better than me. It's very pitiful. He must also practice."
If Howard didn't mention Linsen, he wouldn't be able to remember. Milicic also has trouble shooting free throws, but Milicic is slightly better than Howard, with a free throw shooting percentage of almost 60%.
"Dako, I will ask him to come over, but forget it today. I am only responsible for you now. If you practice free throws seriously and follow the suggestions, I will give you extra rewards."
"Extra reward? What is it?" Howard suddenly became more energetic, and the sad expression on his face was completely gone.
"We'll talk about it after practice."
"Now that I'm more motivated, just believe me, Wood!" Howard said, pulling on Lin Sen's training clothes.
Lin Sen was almost fainted by Howard due to the coquettish look of the seven-foot tall man.
"Anyway, it's a good thing. You believe in me, for example, what you are most looking forward to me teaching you."
After hearing Lin Sen's words, Howard was completely motivated.
He couldn't help but take off his training clothes and walked to the court. The shooting coach and Ruth Edison's assistant quickly attached small metal pieces to various parts of Howard's body. This was much more advanced than Lin Sen's before.
Lin Sen still remembers that he used various cameras to take pictures and then analyzed them through the system to get the results, but now Howard has small metal pieces.
"I feel like a guy who has been genetically modified. Wood, am I cool now? Show me some photos." Howard yelled.
After arranging the facilities, Ruth Edison retreated to Lin Sen's side.
"Actually, I have analyzed the reasons for his inaccurate free throws before. The main reason is that muscular players rely more on inside confrontation, which leads to the formation of muscle memory. This is why free throws are okay in training but inaccurate in games.
Circumstances arise." Ruth Edison said.
"Today we will get some specific data. Rather than being as general as what we just said, we will see what adjustments can be made to achieve an effect. However, I personally estimate that he will not be as accurate as you through improvement."
Lin Sen looked at Ruth Edison and smiled: "I don't need to be so accurate, as long as he is 70% accurate."
"I can't guarantee that, after all, you and he are not the same type of players. I can only say try your best and the key depends on the players themselves. Another thing is that we are currently cooperating with a game company. They will use my latest research and development of human body dynamics.
The system is used in games, but currently the basketball game market is almost dominated by EA's NBA Live, and their survival is a bit difficult. Since being acquired by Take-Two Interactive the year before last, the benefits have not increased.
One of the biggest reasons is the lack of authorization from the NBA and the technical gap. They value my team ability and want me to join, but I have a bold proposal."
"Oh, what kind of bold proposal?" Lin Sen was very interested. He also plays sports games, and prefers to control himself in the game to kill everyone. What he plays is nbalive. In this game, his ability value is
83.
"I have carefully analyzed that at least 20% of the U.S. game market is in sports games. Although the NBA is not as popular as football in North America, it does not lack its vast market, let alone outside the United States. take-two interactive
Although it acquired visual concepts and its completely owned subsidiary sh games and established the brand 2k games, it has invested a lot in the past two years and has made little profit.
I inquired that if there is a suitable price, they can choose to sell 2k games. Today, the total market value of take-two interactive is only 600 million US dollars, and they only spent 120 million to acquire visual concepts and all its subsidiary games.
I personally estimate that 2kgames will not exceed US$100 million."
"You want to persuade me to acquire 2kgames?" Lin Sen finally understood the meaning of Ruth Edison's words. Lin Sen was really incredible. You must know that NBA Live in EA is the overlord now, and it is not an opinion to take food from EA's mouth.
Easy thing.
"Yes, I estimate that the acquisition of 2kgames will be successful at no more than 150 million US dollars. I am confident that we can turn it into a money-making machine." Russ Edison said with confidence, but he was also worried about himself.
But he couldn't come up with the money, and joining 2k wasn't what he wanted. Since Lin Sen dared to invest money in him to study the system, he believed that once Lin Sen really agreed, he wouldn't rule out making him an important member of the new 2k.
Lin Sen frowned, and the sound of Dwight Howard shooting and hitting the iron kept ringing on the court. Ruth Edison did not disturb Lin Sen.
150 million Lin Sen obviously can't afford that much at present. All his cash and house add up to only 30 to 40 million. However, loans in the United States are very developed. His player contract and a series of advertising endorsement contracts are enough for him to borrow money.
With so much money, what if he loses money? This is Lin Sen's biggest worry. Although he doesn't value money, having no money is absolutely impossible.
"Ruth, to be honest, I just heard from you and don't have any specific documents to look at. If possible, please type out your suggestions. I will discuss it with David and give you an answer as soon as possible. OK
?”
Russ Edison was a little disappointed, but he also knew Linsen's financial situation. At any rate, Linsen still retained the hope of acquisition. Russ Edison completely devoted himself to Howard's free throws.
In the first 100 shots, Howard made almost 70 free throws. This shooting rate is already very high, and it is similar to his usual free throw shooting rate in training.
