0213:[Aerial Confrontation]
Paul Pearce, one of the Big Three of the Boston Celtics, is not good at business, but his mood is in line with LeBron James at this time.
However, his unhappiness was very frankly revealed in the public media: "It is an absolute disaster to put Snoopy on the Eastern Conference All-Star forward list. That's not fair to other all-star caliber forwards. ”
It's no secret that the Eastern Conference All-Stars don't have a lot of competition for the center position on the guard line. Only the striker... This is a place that all the giants want to compete for, among which LeBron James is still a sure starter, and now the league has put the super popular Snoopy into the shortlist, isn't this a clear way to cut off other forwards?
"If the Boston Celtics, who have the best record in the East, don't have a single player who starts the All-Star Game, I would consider it a disgrace to the NBA." Hawks forward Josh Smith also supported Pierce.
"Isn't he a centre-forward? Moreover, he claims to be a point guard! Chris Bosh also showed his confusion in front of the camera.
But in fact, everyone knows the motives of the Eastern Strikers group for this collective protest.
The All-Star Game is a very important sign for the players, which means that the players are officially in the ranks of elite players and are recognized by fans and the media. In a variety of commercial sponsorship contracts, being selected for the All-Star Game is often an incentive clause.
"Actually, being selected for the All-Star Game doesn't reward you on your Nike sponsorship contract." Lin Weiwei reclined on the sofa and told Duge in a lazy tone: "Your first-year rewards are the number of starts, the number of top five balls, the NBA rookie game, the rookie game MVP, and the rookie team and rookie of the year. ”
Dugg shrugged, he didn't really want to care about the financial gains and losses of this matter. However, he does want to play in the All-Star Game in Phoenix, and being able to play against the NBA's top stars is something that makes it exciting to think about it.
Lin arrived in Miami before the Heat's game against the Cavaliers, and she has been traveling around the NCAA leagues lately. She has already reached an agreement with a number of players to work together. A large part of the reason why these stars have reached a partnership with her is that she has successfully run the Snoopy brand.
The great success of the No. 8 show is obvious to all, and his ability to achieve today's achievements and commercial value without his own advantages has made many rookies yearn for it.
Duge has no objection to Lin Weiwei recruiting players outside under her own sign, anyway... He is also one of the bosses. Even if you don't do anything, you still have your share of the money you earn.
"LeBron James has always been so conservative in his investments."
Lin Weiwei teased James while eating the pizza sent by LeBron James: "Why didn't he accept your suggestion?" ”
Dugg shrugged: "Who knows?" ”
Then, he said, "Did you hear that?" Apple is ready to make a mobile phone. ”
"Huh?" Lin Weiwei raised her head.
"I'm ready to buy their stock." "After the All-Star break, I wanted to put all my money out and put it on the stock market. ”
"All the money?" Lin Weiwei asked.
"Hmm." Dugg nodded. Because, when he was playing with his mobile phone in the toilet, some strange pictures suddenly popped up in his head, and it seemed that everyone was using an Apple mobile phone in the picture.
He trusts his instincts.
This sudden intuition or inspiration made him who he is today.
Lin Weiwei shrugged her shoulders: "Okay, it's good if you're happy." ”
Although she is not optimistic about this impulsive spending, with the recent development of Facebook, Dugg's profit on it has been visible to the naked eye, and it is very likely to reach several times with the eventual listing. This trend made her regret it, why didn't she follow suit at that time?
But when I think about it, I probably won't have that kind of courage.
It's as if she's not going to buy Apple stock right now, and Apple's stock is falling in response to the global financial crisis, even though they have produced financial statements that show they sold more than BlackBerry phones in the last quarter. But Ms. Lin still doesn't think anyone would pay $500 for a phone that doesn't even have a keyboard: it sounds ridiculous.
In terms of investment, Lin Weiwei is very rational.
The two seem to have irreconcilable differences.
"If you're going to watch a game at the American Airlines Center in the evening, you'd better change into something else. The low-cut outfit looks too informal. ”
Doog rarely gives advice on how to dress up for female friends.
However, what Lin Weiwei is wearing now allows him to break this convention. He really didn't know how to face 'Wang Zuxian' who was still lying on her back, especially when she bit the pizza, and even caused ripples.
It's really exciting.
"The quality of the pizza at LeBron James' house is so bad that they add a lot of gluten."
Dugg was still muttering about it to Michael Beasley after entering the locker room.
In fact, it was just an excuse for Doog to talk to Beasley.
Duger can not care about the cynicism and aggressiveness of those strikers from the outside world. But he had to face centrifugal forces from within the team.
Michael Beasley was clearly struggling with this, even though he had known that Snoopy was more famous than himself. But this fame comes more from the DM party and the DT party, so he has a good balance in mind, especially when Snoopy often compares him to Jordan, he is always in a mood.
But now, Snoopy has been recognized by the league, and the praise for him in the basketball circle is endless. This gave his No. 2 pick a huge boost from it.
And, last night. Dwyane Wade was not seen at the house party, and Snoopy's chat with LeBron James made it to ESPN's basketball front page, along with two starting forwards for the Eastern Conference All-Star team.
"I must be honest with you, I am indeed jealous and unconvinced of you." Michael Beasley told Dug very frankly.
"Well, you should keep that mindset." Dugg was also honest with him: "Everyone needs something to stimulate themselves. Even if he is as strong as Michael Jordan, he became the god of basketball under the pressure of the bad boy army of the Detroit Pistons. ”
Dugg was sincere.
Michael Beasley frowned and pondered for a long time, then nodded vigorously: "You're right. ”
He always loses himself in Michael Jordan's 'analogy'.
Then, he hugged Duge.
Then, when he walked onto the court. He seemed to have forgotten about the thrill, and he fell out of the way in a showdown with another Jordan successor. LeBron James almost hung him in mid-air, constantly ramming him with his strong body, causing him to swing his kite back and forth.
Whereas... Dugg once again completed the block on LeBron James, this time with a frontal block.
When James took advantage of Ben Wallace cover and broke into the box like lightning. Sean Marion, who was originally standing one step outside the reasonable collision zone, finally gave up the defense, he didn't want to be directly crushed by the tank.
And just as he stepped out of the way, Dugg slashed out of the way.
He made a block on LeBron James in the air.
The two held the basketball in the air for nearly half a second. In the end, the basketball still slipped under LeBron James' palm control, and then the two landed at the same time.
At this moment, both parties are full of respect for each other in their hearts.
LeBron James admires Duger's strength and explosiveness.
The same is true for Dugg. He knew he had made a sneak attack, and that LeBron James had previously used up some of his energy to get rid of Beasley's defense.
For this block alone, in terms of explosive power and the power of aerial confrontation, the two are almost comparable.
However, LeBron James is clearly stronger in other aspects such as agility, speed, and technical and tactical aspects.
Of course, Duger's static strength and lower body strength are also incomparable to LeBron James.
For this, the Nike executive in front of the TV is undoubtedly the most excited. To be able to have two such freaks at the same time, and the personalities are diametrically opposed, one is an elegant duke from the East, and the other is a domineering king from the slums of the West. It's all earned!
