When the little duke won flowers and applause in Europe, he made a lot of money, and then moved to Asia to continue to make money.

The N+2nd negotiation between labor and management in the NBA broke down again. And completely tearing his face, David Stern bluntly rejected the players' offer on behalf of the management, and the proposal to give 57% of the league's total revenue to the players as wages was considered fanciful.

He even came up with a system that set $62 million as a hard salary cap, while also threatening a complete shutdown if the players did not sign the 53% distribution agreement!

The players' union, represented by Fisher, Hunter and Chris Paul, immediately refused.

David Stern then announced the NBA shutdown and that none of the teams would pay any wages to the players during the shutdown.

The players, for their part, stated that they would not allow the NBA to use their image for any promotional purposes during the shutdown.

Negotiations were completely suspended.

The Summer League was also officially announced.

Those black brothers who were originally playing outside were also under pressure in an instant, and once their income was interrupted without financial awareness, the bills that flew like snowflakes were enough to kill them.

At this time, the Duke's clause and Rose's clause exposed by the media instantly caused a backlash from many players.

"I felt very uncomfortable when we were still struggling to get the most basic food and clothing. Some people have already received special preferential treatment from the capitalists!! This is discrimination!! ”

When J.R. Smith publicly typed this line on his Twitter, for a moment, Wilt Chandler, Josh Smith, Childis, Evans...... and other players reposted it one after another, as if Snoopy was the initiator of this catastrophe.

Snoopy's attitude as a victim was incredible, and he wondered if this kind of thing could also be related to inequality and discrimination.

You're too vulnerable, aren't you?

At this time, the hardcore Duke Fan Reggie Miller released a picture on his personal homepage, which showed the box office income of the Little Duke's concert and various endorsement incomes.

He made it clear: "Snoopy would have made more money if he hadn't played in the NBA." That's why those owners went to great lengths to keep Snoopy in the NBA. ”

His tweet quickly went on the hot search.

No way, who made the little duke the majority shareholder of Twitter?

Even if the little duke wouldn't do it, someone would.

For example, Daphne.

He felt more and more that Snoopy had suffered a lot of grievances, why did he push everything on him?

He's tired enough.

In the UK, the British media claimed that he had an affair with Emma Watson, and the whole country rejoiced, and everyone was cheering for the golden boy and girl in their minds.

When he arrived in China, those paparazzi did not let him go. They swore that they were holding PS pictures, saying that Liu Shishi, the first little flower in China, hugged and kissed the puppy in the hotel elevator.

They said it was true, but Daphne didn't believe it.

He thinks that the puppy's daily activities are busy enough, and the announcement is so tight that he can't even get into the needle, so how can he have any time to have a tryst with a domestic female star?

What made him feel even more unbelievable was when the puppy went to South Korea to publicize. Those Korean media are even crazier than the British media, saying that the little duke has an affair with the façade of a certain girl group, and they also say it in a good way, as if they have seen their private meeting with their own eyes.

This left Daphne depressed.

She even spoke in a conversation with Emma Watson: "Snoopy's image as a good man has been completely ruined by the entertainment media. ”

Emma Watson raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Really?" ”

"You get in touch with him a little more and you'll know. You'll find that all he's in his head is basketball and work. Daphne laughs, mentioning the hottest meme in England right now: I only have basketball on my head.

The English thought it was a joke because they thought no one could refuse Emma Watson's charisma.

Just as Koreans find Jessica to be invincible, the little duke will become Korean sooner or later.

After his concert on the Peninsula, the little duke left for Japan and then returned to the United States.

By the time he returned to Los Angeles at the end of August, he was on tour.

He hurried into the Hollywood filming location to make a cameo appearance for Disney's super IP "The Avengers". In fact, that's why Disney is willing to give the rights to Beauty and the Beast to Dream Productions at a low price.

They put too much effort and money into the movie, which brings together a large number of Marvel heroes, and they don't want to lose anything about the project. Therefore, when the little duke proposed that he could participate in the filming without charging labor, but asked to buy the copyright of another film at a low price, they quickly agreed.

After all, the influence of the little duke is outstanding. Even if he only promised to shoot for two days and was an insignificant role, he didn't even have lines, just a flash.

And they are willing to do the same.

Because as long as the name of the little duke appears in the credits, the topicality and influence brought by it are visible to the naked eye.

And in addition to Snoopy's appearance in the studio of "The Avengers", he also went to the filming site of Men in Black 3, in which he played the male number three.

For this, Columbia paid him $10 million and a percentage of the box office.

Frankly, Colombia's generosity surprised even Daphne, who even predicted that the company would go out of business sooner or later.

Because their ability to control costs is so bad that they actually gave a guy who only shoots for 7 days 10 million dollars and box office dividends?

Crazy!

That's what NBA players think.

The shutdown of no income has made everyone panic, and even Kobe Bryant has released words to join the Shanxi team in China. In addition, Dwight Howard also said that if the shutdown really can't end, he will also go to China.

In addition, a number of European teams, especially Turkish teams, are also making a big push to recruit these unemployed NBA superstars.

All kinds of exaggerated quotations were published in the newspapers and magazines.

However, only the little duke made real money.

His concert at the Great Western Forum was a sold-out performer, once again breaking the arena's box office record.

Even Kobe Bryant complained in the media: "This guy didn't even give me a ticket? He must be crazy, isn't he worried that I won't lend him a Lamborghini from now on? ”

Such language sounds more like a lover who has been snubbed complaining.

People are now getting more and more accustomed to the image of the straight man of steel, Black Mamba, writhing his pose in front of the Duke dog.
