921.Avengers Overlord (1st Update 5K)
Bill Duffy and John handed over the matter of the new contract, receiving AJ's endorsement fee from the investment company that Sun Ce and John jointly used to store funds through the company's revenue, and receiving AJ's endorsement fee in the form of shareholder dividends.
In the summer of 10, Sun Ce and John set up an investment company together, and the short video APP company established later, the European and American versions of WeChat, and his peripheral companies were all established in the form of investment, Sun Ce and John are both shareholders, but except for the investment company, which is wholly owned by them, the others are all investments, avoiding risks, and at the same time reducing Sun Ce's own personal taxes through tax avoidance means of investment companies.
Like Yao Ming, James, Kobe, Magic and others, they also have their own investment companies, investment is secondary, tax avoidance is the main purpose, of course, there are also like James, 05 years after only two years of investment in low-level football league teams, it is said to be a hobby.
In February, this passed, and on the morning of March 1, Sun Ce came to the FedEx Arena to prepare for tonight's game.
After arriving at the arena, Sun Ce first practiced 300 left-handed layups, and then began to practice left-handed ball control under the guidance of Tim Hardaway.
Sun Ce also wondered, Tim Hardaway didn't know where he could see that he still had room to improve his ball control, and he asked Nash to practice ball control last summer, and Nash said that he was almost at the end of his life, the center of gravity was too high, and it was already surprising to have quasi-top-level ball control.
Sun Ce himself also knows that he is just looking forward to getting the skill of "left and right bowing", whether he can let his left hand have the shooting talent of the right hand and the dribbling talent of the right hand.
But Tim Hardaway is willing to teach, and when it is not appropriate to practice too much today to prepare for the evening game, even if he can't improve too much in the end, it would be good to be more proficient with his left and right hand on the ball.
After the tactical meeting and training in the morning, the afternoon rested, and today's game with the Mavericks started relatively late, starting at half past eight in the evening, in order to cooperate with the live broadcast time of the imperial court.
When Sun Ce and his teammates returned to the training ground after lunch, the camera teams of major domestic media had already set up, and there were also in the United States. T, American cable television, Sports Illustrated, and media in various cities in Tennessee.
It's the same on the away side, even if you doze off all afternoon, there are cameras coming to shoot from time to time.
Sun Ce, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian jointly accepted an interview together, and got an annual endorsement fee of 40 million.
But for Chinese basketball, Sun Ce got the biggest endorsement contract to date, and this matter is very important.
Money, very important.
Also, here's the board!
Sun Ce accidentally became the face of Chinese basketball.
After asking about the new contract and the second half of the season, the reporter from the court station asked: "The American team will send Kobe, James, Anthony, and Paul to the London Olympics, and if we want to regain the world championship, is it possible for us to win again this year?" ”
This is the problem...... I'm too confident!
Sun Ce feels that the people in his country want to compete with the strongest in all aspects, and the total GDP will catch up with others, and it will be more per capita; The world's first infrastructure construction is more high-tech; The small ball and the flexibility of the sports are the strongest, and they have to be compared to the ones that rely on athleticism......
Sun Ce likes the mentality of his countrymen who want to be the strongest in everything, and he himself is too, but this question is ......
Yao Ming is very experienced: "We will do our best, play style, play level. ”
Yi Jianlian has long been used to it: "The rules of the international men's basketball team are relatively favorable to us, although they are strong in every position, we will try to win and will not lose the face of the country." ”
Sun Ce was speechless, these two people were fine, and they had finished talking about all the scenes! Can't you leave him two sentences?
Seeing the reporter looking at him, Sun Ce stubbornly said: "Who knows, let me enjoy the feeling of a world champion for a few more months......"
……
……
The interview went on until 3 p.m., and on the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce's two new teammates had the most incredible day.
Aaron Gray never imagined that he would one day be like an All-Star player, surrounded by a dozen cameras and a horde of reporters.
When playing for the Raptors, even their current star DeRozan didn't have that treatment.
This is especially true for Udri, who is in his ninth year and is enjoying the treatment of a star for the first time, and, as a major signing for the Grizzlies in the eyes of people, Udri enjoyed the biggest interview of his career today.
Udri and Aaron Gray looked at their teammates who were used to being surrounded by so many reporters, and felt like they had played for nothing after so many years!
It's all a small city team, and the gap is too big!
Sun Ce's side, after accepting the interview, returned to the lounge to make up for a while, and asked Brother Jimmy and Brother Clay to wake him up when it was time to warm up.
Before going to bed, Sun Ce habitually swiped the news with his mobile phone and saw a bombshell news, this morning, when they were discussing the details of tonight's game in the tactical meeting, the Heat announced that Maddie, who had a one-year contract with the CBA, had joined the Heat with a veteran base salary clause!
"I'm excited to play with Tracy, I've always been a Tracy fan, we're all the same, and with Tracy I can get more rest and get ready for the playoffs," James said in the interview. ”
From James's words, Sun Ce can see that James is really happy, before the All-Star weekend, he played an average of 42 minutes per game, averaging 28.2 points, 8.6 boards, 8.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, tired enough, even if Maddie can only play ten minutes a game, at least he can share five or six minutes of playing time.
Maddy played well with the Pistons last season, averaging 22 minutes per game, 8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists, 72 appearances, and good health.
Sun Ce really didn't expect Maddie to join the Heat! He also thought that Maddie would go to teams like the Mavericks or the Spurs, but he actually went to the Heat.
Thinking about the Yao Mai combination, Sun Ce felt that it was his childhood youth...... It's just that the Rockets are not a thing, and they are stunned to play this pair of inside and outside combinations that can be selected for the second team at the same time.
However, Sun Ce thought about it, if he could beat his childhood youth one by one this year...... And a little excited.
……
Nostalgic for the past, Sun Ce didn't care about Maddie's joining the Heat team anymore, slept for an hour, and at half past four, Sun Ce was woken up by the left and right protectors, got up to eat something, and began to warm up with the team to prepare for the game.
Towards the end of the warm-up, Sun Ce heard a news that made him very excited.
In the Knicks' home game against the Nets, which started at 5 p.m., Delon broke out! 16 of 29 shots in a single game, including 4 of 10 three-pointers, 16 of 16 free throws, 52 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, plus a key whistle layup, helped the Nets defeat the Knicks 100-98 and end the Knicks' eight-game winning streak!
Lin madness begins with Delong and ends with Delong, which can be regarded as a reincarnation.
This incident made Sun Ce feel that Delong's heart is so small, he became the first victim of Jeremy Lin's crazy mode, and one of the two victims that people remember the most, he has been mentioned for more than half a month, and was stepped on by Lin's crazy fans, he didn't respond, and he didn't spray Jeremy Lin from time to time like Paul, the other worst victim.
However, DeLong has been preparing in the shadows, and when he came back at the All-Star weekend, he had a cold outburst and did Jeremy Lin a wave of ruthlessness.
Jeremy Lin also played okay in this game, mainly in passing, with nine assists, but the shooting lost the magic of the eight-game winning streak before the All-Star weekend, scoring just 14 points on 5-of-18 shooting.
Sun Ce looked at the post-game report and saw Bynum, who scored 28 points and 22 boards, and Novak, who scored 20 points...... He believes that the Knicks are still better than the Nets, at least the Knicks are a playoff team in the East, relying on the previous wave of 8 consecutive wins to surpass the 76ers to the third, and now the loss has fallen to the fourth, and it is no problem to enter the playoffs next.
But Sun Ce felt that Jeremy Lin was going to have a problem with this, he thought that Jeremy Lin should have passed that period of hot hands, but he still maintained his self-confidence during that time, and he still shot 18 times with such a low shooting rate......
Sun Ce can understand Jeremy Lin's current mentality, Jeremy Lin's past 8 games have been supergiant-level performances, and his self-confidence has exploded; Every time he uses up the star experience card of a super powerful player, he also has the illusion that he is invincible.
But every time Sun Ce sees his own ability evaluation, although this is an ability evaluation of pure technique, physical fitness, and shooting strength without reference to defense, team factors, and skills, the bloody A-level and even the first two seasons are not A-level ability evaluation, which can make him calm down and know that his normal level needs to rely on the team and cannot be nonsense.
But Jeremy Lin didn't have that condition......
Sun Ce felt that Jeremy Lin might be hacked enough in the next period of time and space as he was in the original time and space.
American cable TV has praised Jeremy Lin too high, too much, and those who suddenly become fans of Sun Ce, when this stage of Lin's madness has passed, may hack Jeremy Lin to death.
And Jeremy Lin's current "fans" are mostly Lin's crazy fans, not Jeremy Lin himself, maybe Jeremy Lin has also absorbed some fans, but the popularity that swept the world and became the cover of Time magazine in just ten days is not his own, just chasing the legendary Lin Madness.
The warm-up in terms of stretching, muscle and joint movement was almost over, and after looking at his mobile phone for a while, it was a pity that Lin Madness had passed away and couldn't fight directly, Sun Ce focused on the game that was about to start in less than an hour, and practiced shooting hot hands.
After practicing a set of mid-range shots and a set of three-pointers, Sun Ce opened the event board and looked at it, and sure enough, the upgrade reward requirements of the A-level event of "Crazy Competition with Lin", that is, the event goal of the S-level point guard random star experience card, has been determined, at least to help the team win 9 consecutive wins, surpassing the Knicks' 8 consecutive wins.
There is no pressure on a continuous winning streak, but the current pressure is not small, and if you want to win 9 in a row, you must first beat the Mavericks to win 8 in a row!
It's almost 8:10 a.m. for the entrance ceremony, and the team staff has come to inform the players and coaches that they are ready to enter.
Sun Ce's arm guards and hand straps were taken out of the prop space and handed over to the staff, and the live broadcast camera had to advertise his peripheral products later.
Just as Sun Ce walked to the player's tunnel, the system prompt came!
"Due to the host's heavy defeat to the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals last season, the Mavericks have gradually recovered from the impact of a shrinking season, and as the host's first opponent after All-Star Weekend, and it is a very crucial opponent, the Underlord's small book exclusive event: the Avengers' ambition trigger."
"The Avenger's Ambition (Small Ben Exclusive):
Phase 1 goal: Sweep the Mavericks in the 2011-2012 regular season.
Event Reward: A Grade A raffle card to open the second phase of the Avengers' ambition goal.
Penalty for Failure: For every game lost to the Mavericks in the 2011-2012 regular season, the playoffs begin in a cold state for a series. ”
This sudden incident prompt scared Sun Ce!
It is usually triggered before the start of the game or during the game, or when the opponent first arrives in the arena.
"Playing the Thunder and Spurs is just a matter of playing against the record advantage, and playing the defending champion must be swept away?" After seeing the target of the incident, Sun Ce couldn't help but slander and wanted to find a learning machine to ask for clarification.
But I asked in my heart, and the learning machine didn't care.
Failure Penalty ...... Sun Ce wants to vomit blood! It feels cold to the touch, but it doesn't affect the defense.
But if you lose the next three meetings with the Mavericks, then you have to feel cold throughout the Western Conference playoffs and become a pass-through version of Mr. Tony?
Sun Ce also remembered one thing, Carter, who was pardoned by the Suns before the All-Star weekend, seems to be interested in joining the Knicks who lack outside personnel, and the Knicks are basically Novak, Stoudemire, and Bynum on the inside, which is enough, and there is a shortage of people on the outside, but there is no specific news yet.
……
……
Dirk Nowitzki, 34, A+, Offensive, B-, Three-pointer, S mid-range, A-layup...... Played in 27 games, averaged 33 minutes per game, averaged 19.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game ......"
Yao Ming, 31 years old, 131 kg, ability evaluation A+, offensive A+, defensive A, three-point C, mid-range S-, layup S...... Played in 23 games, averaging 23 minutes per game, averaging 13.5 points, 8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks per game......"
The years are unforgiving, and the shrinking season has a great impact on the veterans, Sun Ce feels that the A+ level strength should not be the final strength of these two this season, but it has now returned to this state, and Nowitzki has fallen to the B+ level at the beginning of the season.
But Sun Ce remembers that in the 15-16 season, when Nowitzki last participated in the playoffs, he was still able to average 20+ per game in the playoffs.
On the contrary, Yao Ming, who has a more obvious height advantage, has more advantages, has less playing time and a natural threat under the basket, but he can't directly carry it to play the low post, but his efficiency is higher than Nowitzki.
After the players of the two teams entered the court, Sun Ce immediately looked at the ability evaluation of the two strongest players on the other side, Nowitzki is so old, Yao Ming is so tall and so old, he can still have such strength, and it is possible that he will be stronger in the playoffs.
Paired with B+-level Conley, Marion, DeSean Stevenson and Corey Brewer, Ian Masimmy and Chandler plus Brandon Knight on the bench, Bubevar and Sean Williams on the pitcher, and Jason Terry, who is also 34 years old but averaging 15 points per game so far in a very healthy season......
The Mavericks team without the charity sale is still very strong overall! This 12-man roster is really worth beating anyone.
In particular, the signing of Sean Williams, Brandon Knight, and Ian Mashinmi, three interior players with their own characteristics, allowed Nowitzki and Yao Ming to rest at ease.
Sun Ce felt that Cuban was very ambitious when he had the opportunity!
He remembers that Cuban explained why he dismantled the championship team in the summer of 2011, and the core point was that after Kidd won the championship, he obviously didn't want to play very much, but wanted to develop in the direction of coaching, and he put forward a request to participate in the coaching staff, which made Cuban feel a sense of crisis, and wanted to immediately dismantle the veteran-dominated lineup, make room, and try to recruit big-name free agents in the two free market years of 2013 and 2014, and form a new championship team for Nowitzki, who still has a few years to play.
It just didn't work out in the end.
Now they still have the hope of winning the championship, and they will definitely not operate as they did in the original plane, but try to defend the title.
Not to mention the three consecutive championships, even if the title is successfully defended, plus the luxury tax of almost 100 million US dollars in the next three years, including this year, is worth it, in order to keep DeSean Stevenson and Chandler and Brewer, and sign Masimmy, Sean Williams, and Brandon Knight, Cuban gives two to three years of contracts, Sean Williams is the base salary, Brandon Knight is a two-year exception, Masimmi is a three-year mini middle class, and DeSean Stevenson, Brywell, and Chandler are all bird rights renewals.
But it's fun to compete with teams like that!
At 8:28 p.m., Sun Ce tied his handband in front of the technical table, put on his arm guard, changed the balance bracelet to his right hand, and played with Nash, Paul George, Randolph and Gasol Jr.
On the Mavericks' side, Conley, DeSean Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki, and Yao Ming played the starting lineup.
Sun Ce came to the middle circle and looked up at Yao Ming, he couldn't imagine that one day he would be able to jump the ball with Yao Ming.
Domestic fans who came to the scene to watch the Chinese derby have already begun to heckle.
Yao Ming didn't expect this to happen, but Yao Ming was a little sore if he lost...... What a shame!
Sun Ce looked at Teacher Na...... Teacher Na opened his mouth and responded silently: Fak Oh Fu!
