"You bet with me? Are you qualified for this?" Matt Barnes said with contempt on his face.
"Tang, don't be impulsive, this guy..." Ci Shiping said, Tang Qian smiled and said: "It's okay, Meta, I happen to be interested in participating in this bet." After that, Tang Qian turned his face and looked away.
Looking at Matt Barnes, he said: "I bet you like this. If I lose, I will kneel down on my knees and apologize to you. How about that?"
"Kneel down on your knees?" Matt Barnes was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, Chinese boy, you said this yourself, don't regret it then!"
"Then what if you lose?" Tang Qian asked indifferently, with a calm expression.
"If I lose, I'll still provide you with food for a year!"
"NONONO~" Tang Qian shook his head and said, "I have no interest in eating."
Hearing Tang Qian's refusal, Matt Barnes frowned and asked, "Then what do you want?"
"It's very simple." Tang Qian said calmly: "If you lose, just kneel down and apologize to us."
"What are you saying???" After hearing this, Matt Barnes immediately said with a fierce expression on his face: "You dare to ask me to kneel down to you?"
"No." Tang Qian shook his head again and said, "Not to me, but to us."
"Meta and I."
"Chinaman, don't you want to hang out in Los Angeles?" Matt Barnes took a step forward, grinning and threatening.
Tang Qian didn't flinch, he just looked ahead and said, "What? Don't you dare?"
"I don't dare? Hahahaha! I dare not!" Matt Barnes laughed wildly three times, then pointed at Tang Qian and said: "You know? Chinaman, in the Los Angeles Lakers, besides Kobe Bryant,
, you are the first one who dares to talk to me like this!"
Tang Qian also slowly stretched out his hand, then pressed down Matt Barnes' finger and said: "I don't like people pointing at me like this, Barnes, since you are my teammate, I will forgive you.
You once."
"You brat, you're so mad at me, aren't you? I'm just going to point my finger at you!" Barnes was also offended by Tang Qian, so he stretched out his hand and yelled again.
"Then this time..."
"I won't forgive you."
After saying that, Tang Qian pinched Matt Barnes's finger and twisted it upward slightly. Suddenly, a scream came from Matt Barnes' mouth.
"Okay, China Hot, let it go, we are teammates after all!" Josh McRoberts suddenly came out and said.
Tang Qian was condescending, glanced at Josh McRoberts, who was only "6 feet 10 inches" tall, and said in a lukewarm voice: "Teammate? Now you know how to call me teammate? What were you doing just now? Or...
Do you think he is your only teammate?"
"China Hot, don't be ungrateful! I'm here to help you!" Josh McRoberts blushed at Tang Qian's sarcastic words and hurriedly tried to cover it up.
"Help me? Do you think I want your help now?" Tang Qian said with a trace of ridicule on his lips: "I think you want to help him?"
"I said Barnes, do you accept my proposal?" Tang Qian turned his head and looked at Matt Barnes.
"Let...let go...let me go...let go..." Matt Barnes was in so much pain at the moment, how could he have time to think about it?
"Then you agreed? Right?" Tang Qian continued.
"Yes, yes... I agree, I agree!!! Hurry, let go!!!" Under the influence of pain, Matt Barnes could only give in temporarily.
"Okay then." Tang Qian let go of his hand.
"Fuck you!!!" As soon as Tang Qian let go of his hand, Matt Barnes became angry and punched Tang Qian in the face.
"You are really untrustworthy." Tang Qian actually had an extra thought when he let go, so as soon as Matt Barnes got angry, he reacted instantly.
Bang~
Tang Qian waved his hand, and Matt Barnes' fist hit the former's palm. Then Tang Qian retracted his fingers and suddenly exerted force. Poor Barnes' "little fist" was submerged on the spot.
It was packed in every detail.
To be honest, Matt Barnes is over two meters tall. Logically speaking, his fists should not be small at all. Compared with ordinary people, they are as big as a casserole. But
The so-called "casserole size" depends on who is the reference. Compared with his height and ordinary people, it is naturally "terrible". But if this comparison object is replaced by Tang Qian
If so, it would be a different situation.
A small witch sees a big witch, that's what it means.
Matt Barnes felt like he was being hit on a hard grindstone, and it was too late for him to pull away.
Tang Qian's right hand was like a steel ring and iron hoop, with five fingers clasping together. Unless he took the initiative to let go, Matt Barnes' "little strength" would not be able to break free at all.
This Asian guy has such big hands!
Matt Barnes also struggled all the way in Los Angeles, so he has no shortage of fighting experience.
Wait, he seems to be Chinese, right? Could it be...
"Barnes, are you ready to continue taking action?" Tang Qian squeezed his opponent's fist and said in an unpleasant voice.
"Huh, seeing as you are a newcomer, I will be more generous today and won't argue with you!" Matt Barnes is not a fool either. As soon as he found out that there was such a disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, he immediately "made it" for himself.
Go down the stairs.
"Barnes, remember the bet between you and me, but don't forget it." Tang Qian had no intention of continuing to take action, because as a teammate, fighting among ourselves is not a very glorious thing. And here.
It’s still New York, a city with extremely developed information dissemination. If something is photographed, it will cause a “big mess”.
"Don't worry, Chinese boy, I just hope you won't break the contract when the time comes!!!" Matt Barnes rubbed his palms and said in a very sinister voice.
"I swear on my basketball career that I will never deny my account afterwards. You can rest assured on this! Besides, there are so many witnesses present. You and I can't be cheated by anyone!" Tang Qian said.
Ignoring Matt Barnes's hateful eyes, his voice was clear and powerful.
"Okay, brat, don't regret it!" Matt Barnes said: "I will go and keep an eye on him tonight, just wait and kneel down!" After saying that, Matt Barnes
Si turned around and left the training ground.
"Fang, it was a very unwise thing for you to offend Matt, although I am very grateful to you for speaking up for me."
Tang Qian smiled at Ci Shiping and said, "It's okay, Meta. Just saying this to you is worth it to me, isn't it?"
Ci Shiping was slightly stunned, looked at Tang Qian and said: "Fang, you are a good friend! Don't worry, since you are the one who offended Matt because of me, if he wants to touch you, I will be the first one not to
promise!"
"Well, thanks." Tang Qian replied with a smile.
…
"Oh~ Tang, why didn't you tell me that you came to New York?" the woman on the phone asked slightly reproachfully.
"Ha~ Didn't I call you?" Tang Qian said with a smile on his face. To be honest, he still doesn't know why he dialed this number.
"Huh, I'm on my way to Philadelphia now. If you had called earlier, I would have canceled the show!" On the other side of the phone was Taylor Swift, a top European and American star like them.
They have many properties under their names. For example, in Los Angeles and New York, where Taylor usually stays for a long time, she has a luxurious residence. Some time ago, she had been living in New York due to work reasons and did not go back to Los Angeles.
So when I heard that Tang Qian had come to New York, but he happened to be away, I felt no worse than waking up and finding out that I had gained three pounds.
"No, I'm just a small person, how can I bear such great 'treatment' from you? I just happened to be in New York today, so I just wanted to call you and say hello." Regarding the fact that Taylor happened to be away, Tang
I didn't have any idea of sneaking down. After all, he is an international superstar and "busy with business", which is also a very normal thing.
If you can't stand it, who can? What a bull head!
Just as he was about to say something, Taylor's mind suddenly flashed and he turned to ask: "That stupid bear Bill Sagatte has already accepted the Sprite advertising endorsement. Don, how are you doing there? One hundred million US dollars is not a small number.
ah!"
"It's okay, Taylor, I have entered the NBA now, you don't have to worry about me." Tang Qian replied.
"What? You have entered the NBA? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?" the "goddess" on the other side of the phone exclaimed again.
"It's about February 7th. It was just signed three days ago." Unexpectedly, Tang Qian was still talking. Taylor Swift immediately went crazy and said: "February 7th? This is the first time."
It’s been three days, okay! When are you going to tell me???”
"I, am I not telling you?" Tang Qian whispered on the phone.
"Telling me???oh~my~god~oh~my~god~Tang, do you still regard me as your friend??? It took three days for such important news to be shared with me??? You are
Don’t you look down on me???”
"Miss Swift, please lower your voice, pay attention to your image, pay attention to your image..." Tang Qian heard the voice of Taylor's assistant, Hannah, on the phone.
"Watch your image!!!" Taylor yelled loudly, and then continued to ask Tang Qian: "Tell me, Tang, do you look down on me??? Do you not regard me as a friend???"
Uh, what's going on?
Tang Qian was a little baffled by Taylor's anger.
"Of course, of course not..."
Just when Tang Qian was very anxious, a text message was sent to his mobile phone. Tang Qian glanced at it and suddenly realized: "So that's it."
This text message was sent to him by Hannah. The general meaning of it is that in the United States, sharing success and joy with good friends is a kind of basic respect. After Tang Qian read it, it suddenly became clear that being in love is what you need in the United States.
"Showing off" with good friends! What a different country and different thinking!
"What do you mean this is what it is like??? Tang, are you listening to what I'm saying???"
"Ah, a, of course, of course I'm listening." Understanding the point of the other party's anger, Tang Qian immediately "prescribed the right medicine" and said: "I'm sorry, Taylor, I've been so busy with signing an NBA contract during this time.
Ranma, so I forgot to share my joy with you, I hope you don’t mind."
Hearing Tang Qian's sincerity, Taylor also lost some of his anger and said: "Well, forget it this time. After all, being able to join the NBA is indeed a big thing for you, but it won't happen again! As your good friend, I don't want anything.
The news is known only at the end, did you hear it, Tang!"
"I understand, I understand, I will never do this again." Tang Qian replied quickly.
"Then I won't be able to go to the scene to cheer you on tonight. You should behave yourself. I will buy tomorrow's sports newspaper when I get to Philadelphia."
"Well, if you don't tell me I can do it, we can't let that 'fat dwarf' run too far, right?"
"Fat dwarf?" Taylor didn't react for a while. After she reacted, she laughed sweetly: "You can really kill people! But things need to be done quickly. I estimate that his Sprite endorsement has hundreds of dollars."
Ten thousand!"
"How many millions?" Tang Qian had already expected it, because he had seen James and Kobe Bryant's beverage endorsements before, and they were both worth millions a year. In comparison, Bill Sagat's several years
A few million seems a lot "shabby". However, including his NFL rookie contract, he has almost earned about 15 million US dollars. Of course, this is assuming that he can get it all.
Compared to myself, I can’t even afford 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars, so it’s really like a world in the sky.
But Tang Qian was not worried.
Because once NBA players become successful, the scope and breadth of their endorsements are far beyond what NFL players can compare with. This can be clearly seen by looking at the Forbes Sports Rich List, not to mention the top ten, even the top twenty.
There are no NFL players. NBA players account for two of the top six.
"Then I really need to work harder. At least sign up for McDonald's and Coca-Cola first."
"Lol~ Then you have to work hard. Let me tell you secretly, my annual income is about 57 million U.S. dollars, and it is still increasing year by year! So with 100 million U.S. dollars, I will make it in less than two years.
We can do it!" Taylor said nakedly "showing off his wealth" on the other end of the phone.
Tang Qianxin said:
Go ahead, you deserve to be the "leader" of Forbes' list of the youngest richest people in 2012. This ability to attract money is even better than "King James" and "Black Mamba", it's really amazing.
…
New York, Knicks daily training center.
"Hey, Jeremy, pass me some more lobs today!" It was Tyson Chandler who spoke. It was obvious that his winning streak had put him in good condition, so there were a few more words in his words.
easy.
"Okay, don't worry, I will do it." Jeremy Lin was practicing free throws because he missed a free throw in the last game.
Brush~
The sound of the basketball hitting the net is clear and beautiful.
Life...is really amazing, isn't it?
A few weeks ago, I was a person on the edge of the water cooler that no one cares about. Now, I have become the "New York Miracle", the so-called "Linsanity"!
Jeremy Lin didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered the Chinese center who played in the NBDL.
"Lin, don't be discouraged, God is always paying attention to you..."
"Perhaps in the near future, you will become famous overnight and realize your dream of professional basketball..."
Did he become famous overnight? It seems that you really hit the mark!
Jeremy Lin shot another ball, but he couldn't help but think:
I have become "Linsanity" now, I don't know how... he is...
PS: In 2012, Taylor did top the Forbes youngest rich list with $57 million, but this list only included actors and singers, not sports stars. So Xiaozi checked the 2012 Forbes Sports Rich List.
, James ranked fourth with a total income of 53 million U.S. dollars, Kobe Bryant ranked sixth with a total income of 5,230 U.S. dollars, and the number one ranking that year was boxer Floyd Mayweather, with a total income of 85 million U.S. dollars a year.
The U.S. dollar is really scary! By the way, in the entire basketball world, except for James and Kobe, there is no player with a total income of more than 50 million. In 2012, the third player in the NBA was "Warcraft" Howard, "only
There is "25.6 million U.S. dollars, which is not even the slightest difference between first and second place."
