According to this year's conference finals schedule, the Western Conference Finals will start first, on May 19th, US time, and the Eastern Conference Finals will be one day later, on May 20th, US time. Usually there will be performers in the conference finals, not to mention this place in California
, there is no shortage of money at all, and there are many stars, so it is easy to invite a star to perform.
Tonight's guest performer is Taylor Swift, who just won the Billboard Music Awards 2 days ago for Best Album, Best Female Vocalist of the Year, Best Artist of the Year, Billboard Song Achievement Award, etc.
Swift. Speaking of Taylor, she is really a fierce girl. There are not many early debut singers who can climb up the ladder like her every year. If you think she is very powerful this year, then she will give you an even more powerful one next year.
Her performance. This ability is really terrifying. No wonder her future earnings will be so terrifying. For example, this year, that is, in 2015, is she really making a million a day, or is she still making a fortune?
The British "Daily Express" calculated Taylor Swift's total income for 10 months in 2015 in mid-to-late October 2015. The results are shocking. Songs + tours + endorsements, etc., this
The woman actually made 317.8 million yuan in one go. And it was still a solid dollar! At the exchange rate in 2015, it was close to 2.1 billion yuan. Even if about half of the tax was deducted, it would be at least more than 1 billion yuan a year.
Net income. This is terrible.
With so much liquidity, most medium-sized companies don't have as much cash as she does.
And she doesn't need to invest any more of her money at all. This purchasing power is simply amazing.
Tang Qian earns a lot, but compared with Taylor...well, let's forget it first.
There are not many people in this world who can earn more than 1 billion in net income a year, but unfortunately, this Taylor girl is.
So Tang Qian wants to compete with her in making money, well, he's still a little behind now.
She was full of energy when she came on tonight. After all, she had just swept N awards at the Billboard Music Awards. Now she is in the limelight, so as soon as she appeared on the stage, the entire Oracle Arena cheered vigorously. Tang Qian because
His phone was turned off and he didn't log into any web or network, so he didn't know that Taylor would be the guest performer at the opening of the Western Conference Finals tonight.
On the bench, he clearly saw Taylor deliberately making a few moves against him. It seemed that he was not doing well, and the group of "beasts" next to him were already screaming and waiting for food. Nick Young even spoke frankly.
He said: "It's hot. It's so tempting. What do you think? Do you think she is so strong in bed?" "Uh, um, Nick, she and I haven't reached that point yet..." Before he could finish, he
Hearing Nick Yang next to him continue to talk to himself: "It must be good, right? Alas, it's a pity. If he hadn't been your woman, my young hero Yang would have fallen in love with him. I can't help it, I still value my brother."
Lovely." He patted Tang Qian, but his eyes kept staring at Taylor who was singing in front of him, and his little star burst out. Tang Qian was speechless and said: "I said, the person in your family is also a singer, is it possible?
Not satisfied?"
Nick Young said to Tang Qian in a serious tone: "Tang, I admire you in terms of basketball, but in terms of men and women, I think you are far behind. This man, like a little cheetah, will always be
Do you know that you have to keep your eyes on the new target in order to maintain the male vitality?" Tang Qian said even more speechlessly: "Emotional, you just want to eat from the bowl and look at the pot, right? Let me tell you, you
This is wrong, I..."
"Oh hot, don't worry. After all, I am also the man you Chinese call Yang Shaoxia. I will not do this kind of behavior of competing with you for girls. In this regard, don't worry. I definitely rank first in friendship and crotch desire.
two."
You, your sister, even have desires in your crotch, why don’t you have desires in the anus? You think about this all day long, be careful ****. Tang Qian secretly complained, but for the tall woman in the center of the stage, he
I still feel very beautiful, and I also have some inexplicable little pride in my heart, because... this woman who makes you shout crazily, she is mine.
Moreover, her little mouth is really...well, let's go, what am I thinking about, why are you thinking about this before the battle?
It's all this damn Nick Young's fault. It's forbidden to talk to him about this kind of issue in the playoffs from now on.
After the performance, there were even louder cheers at Oracle Arena. Taylor waved calmly and then calmly left the stage, probably to change clothes.
I don't know if she will stay here later.
Since the start of the playoffs, it seems that I haven't met or communicated with her much.
Although the thing last time was risky, it was indeed very exciting... Damn, why are you thinking about it again!
It's all this damn Nick Yang's fault!
Nick Young inexplicably took the blame again.
The game will be played at Oracle Arena in Oakland at 8 o'clock. Since it is here, it is obviously the home court of the Golden State Warriors. This is also the first time that the Lakers have lost the series in this year's playoffs.
Home court advantage. Their regular season record is second in the league, but the Warriors happen to be first in the league, one head ahead of the Lakers.
However, both sides rested for a relatively long time, so there shouldn’t be too many physical problems in the first game.
At the beginning, Tang Qian shook hands with Curry politely, but there was not much tenderness.
Curry is also very proud of this season. You can bet that the MVP award is something he has never dared to think about before. At least in the hands of Mark Jackson, he feels that it will not be easy for him to reach the Western Conference Finals once in his life.
What are you talking about as the most valuable player in the regular season? Isn’t that a dream? I’m just a pure shooter, right? It’s not easy for such a person to gain a foothold in the NBA even though he’s not very tall. He’s been playing until now, even though he’s also in the NBA.
The descendant of a player, however, he has been instilled in him a concept that the upper limit of pure shooter talent is limited. This was also an inertial thinking in the United States for decades. Look at Curry when he joined the NBA.
Scouting report, you will know what the scouts think of him.
Thin body, limited potential, unstable ball control, poor finishing ability, especially the summary: He has little potential and it is difficult to reach that higher level, so do not expect him to be the team's offensive commander.
After all these years, Curry actually feels that this is his achievement. Mark Jackson threatened to bench him last season and tried every means to trade Curry in exchange for a cornerstone core that is more suitable for building a team. He believes that Curry is the cornerstone of the team.
Rita Glass injured his ankle a total of 7 times from 2010 to 2012. In addition, he is a short shooter and is more aggressive than organizational. Under the limitations of traditional thinking, Mark Jackson also said Curry
He said a lot of good things, but he didn't recognize him from the bottom of his heart. This shows everything since he supported Harden over Curry to win the MVP after leaving the Warriors. Curry himself said that he supported Mark Jackson last season in vain.
.In the final 8,000-word regular season MVP speech, Curry did not mention Mark Jackson’s name once.
Little did he know that the God of Destiny had given him such a great benefit and airborne Steve Cole.
At the beginning, he was also very suspicious of the management's decision. Cole didn't have any outstanding results as a player. Unlike McHale of the Rockets, he still had glorious deeds to brag about as a player. As for his coaching qualifications, he didn't have any outstanding results in one year.
No, this... only a lunatic would think that Cole can save the Warriors, who have been running the Western Conference for countless years. But the fact is that Cole broke the rules as soon as he came and established an unprecedented style of play for the Warriors.
The shooter built the team, and he even told Curry personally, I am here just to win the championship and make you the strongest player in the league.
When I first heard this, it was really ridiculous. Curry himself didn’t think he could do it. This empty statement was not at all level. However, as the schedule progressed, and as Cole’s system thinking became more and more proficient in practice,
With the Warriors' crazy rise this season, even in the Devil's West, Curry is completely convinced.
Especially after this year's game, when Mark Jackson claimed that Tang Qiancai should be this season's MVP, Curry immediately became furious and had no good impressions of the former head coach, completely becoming Cole's faction.
Like Yuan Shikong, this year's 8,000-word regular season MVP award speech did not mention Mark Jackson. He even ridiculed the latter a little, feeling that the latter delayed him and did not give him a real opportunity.
A team system that unleashes his potential. This is actually not wrong from a fundamental point of view. Mark Jackson did not regard Curry as a real team to train for the future, nor did he design an exclusive tactical system for him.
Typically, Curry had poor ball-handling habits at the beginning and liked to wave. Without a lot of training and fighting monsters, it was difficult to make his dribbling method stable. So Mark Jackson directly chose to use
Jarrett Jack holds the ball at critical moments, or Iguodala holds the ball at critical moments, which does not give Curry the opportunity to practice and upgrade. In one sentence, Curry is not stable in dribbling and his body is too thin.
Yes, and he is a shooting-oriented player who is prone to mistakes and should not hold the ball a lot at the last moment.
As a result, what Kerr did when he came here was that the first change was completely opposite to Mark Jackson, letting Curry hold the ball a lot, and allowing Curry to waste a lot of money. When Mark Jackson first saw this, he thought
Cole is really a rookie, a junior, to do such a stupid thing. As a result, after Curry held the ball and allowed to make waves, this little man who looked thin and frail, like a baby face, actually ushered in his career.
After a huge explosion, he suddenly became the number one candidate for the league MVP.
Do you think Mark Jackson doesn’t have any ideas in his mind?
He pulled out Harden in the original time and space, which was actually just an excuse to eliminate Curry. What about this time and space? Pulling out Tang Qian as a shield was actually the same thing. He just wanted to disgust Curry. But no one would know.
This baby-faced guy, known as the cute god and elementary school boy in China, will continue to evolve in the future until he becomes the ultimate body "Ku Hao".
At that time, it was the nightmare of the entire league, and Mark Jackson could not say a word.
But whether he is feeling aggrieved or not is unknown. Anyway, since this incident, Curry and the Warriors have treated Mark Jackson with disdain. Center Bogut even directly said in an interview,
It has nothing to do with Mark Jackson. Well, I don’t know him. Then he quoted the movie "The Butterfly Effect" to satirize the former.
This can only show that Mark Jackson is a failed head coach. So many people were angry at him after he left. There is obviously something wrong with the way he behaves. Cole is much smarter than him. He made a fool of himself and learned at the same time."
The "Zen Master" approach unites the entire team and makes the atmosphere in the locker room extremely harmonious. In addition, the coaching ability is really formidable. It won such a high number of wins in the first year, and it is a self-created "pure shooter core tactical system".
What do you think the Warriors are thinking? It’s obvious, isn’t it?
However, Tang Qian became Mark Jackson's target in this time and space. He took Harden's original position and took over a big pot.
"Do you think this MVP should be you?" Curry said as soon as he opened his mouth. In fact, he is a very "slutty" person. He didn't have the confidence and strength before to dare to speak like this. Now that he has it, his nature is also
I slowly started to cover it up. Of course, I have to say that the "slut" mentioned here is not what you think, and it is not a derogatory term at all.
It’s just about his playing style and personality, and fans of later generations know that Curry just likes to show off, which is what many people will like and hate about him in the future. Tang Qian knows that he is referring to the recent
In the "Mark Jackson Incident" that caused a lot of noise, he took over the blame of James Harden in the original time and space. It was because of this incident that when Curry met Harden in the Western Conference Finals in the original time and space, he was very eager to perform and in extremely good condition.
Okay, this is not a good thing.
With a simple statistic, you can get a feel for Curry's attitude toward proving himself and teaching Harden, the man Mark Jackson said should be the MVP candidate. He shot over 51% in the Western Conference Finals.
The average data per game is almost 31+5+6+2, but the most terrifying thing is not here. It is his three-point shooting percentage. Note that it is almost the same as the field goal percentage, close to 50%!!! Average shots per game
11+, with such a large base level, there is still almost 50%, which makes my hair stand on end just thinking about it.
Are you saying that Curry "doesn't hold grudges"? He's overthinking it. Coupled with Harden's slump, this further proves that Mark Jackson is "ignorant".
But this is Tang Qian's character. Now, forget it if you don't say it. If you say it, you still say it in front of me. I'm sorry, but I can't not respond directly. Besides, Tang Qian also feels from the bottom of his heart that he too
It's not that he has no chance of winning the regular season MVP this season. He just feels like he's been "hacked" a little bit. Well, that's the first thing he said. Tang Qian is also angry, okay?
"Why can't it be me?" Tang Qian's answer was very direct, not paying attention to any subtlety or propriety at all.
Curry secretly got angry when he heard this, because he has indeed heard many voices this year that he feels that he is not worthy of the MVP, and the supporters of these voices are, without exception, the Oriental center and man in front of him. So he has
Tang Qian also has a certain degree of comparison. He won't take it to heart at all for players who are not popular, but those who can be taken into consideration cannot be those who are not popular. For example, No. 29 of the Lakers
, actually made him feel uneasy before this year's regular season MVP was announced. Because he also felt that this MVP did not have an absolute competitive advantage.
Although the data of leading the team is indeed superior, other people's data and the "artificial high-level data" that the four major media like to quote are much better than his. This is very disadvantageous for him. The original time and space "Mark"
"Jackson" believes that Harden is more worthy of this season's regular season MVP than Curry. A big reason is that he feels that Harden's personal average data is higher than that of Curry. In this time and space, he naturally does the same.
. Use Tang Qian's hands to bury Tai Kuli.
Fortunately, the four major media outlets did not mention the so-called "artificial high-level data" this time, as if this data had been forgotten by them. At the same time, they also chose to use the team's performance to report
As the only criterion for selecting the MVP of this season, this suddenly gave Curry a "reassurance". In the end, he surpassed the Lakers' No. 29 and won the first regular season MVP trophy in his life.
.
Now, as long as he wins the FMVP again, he will be a veritable superstar player in the league.
Now, if he keeps it up, he will at least be a quasi-super giant. This is a huge breakthrough in Curry's life, who once thought that his All-Star peak was over. Originally, he felt that he would never be a superstar in his life. The limitations of a pure shooter made him
I have heard about it since I was a child. After all, the first five years of his career were relatively gloomy. Unexpectedly, just because of a change of head coach and an overall replacement of the team system, he would soar into the sky.
Really soaring into the sky.
And if you don't have an MVP, you're not really in the ranks of the super giants, and you can't even compete with them.
No matter how good the data is, you are just a data brush, but if you cannot lead the team to win a championship and do not have an MVP, then you will be a superstar in your lifetime.
The term "super giant" is not something that just anyone can afford.
Because of this award, Curry has stepped into the quasi-super giants this year. He thinks that he treats Tang Qian in a high-level manner and belongs to a superior person. So... the trash talk came out directly.
"Of course not, this trophy is mine. My name has already been engraved on it." Curry is a typical American taunt, which means that I am the winner and you are the loser. Tang Qian
Having been in the United States for so long, of course he knew what Curry meant. He sneered and said: "I think you should put it away under your pillow, because you can still do it when you lose."
Find it and cry bitterly."
"I will make you cry so hard." Curry also said coldly.
"This is what I want to say. If you have the ability, come to the basket and I will treat you to a hot pot."
After the two people finished speaking, they turned around and left. Curry felt that Tang Qian should be taught a lesson in order to prove that he was worthy of the regular season MVP award. What about Tang Qian? He also thought the same thing as Curry. He felt that Curry also got votes from the four major media.
Cangduo was cheap, so he defeated himself. He also had to prove that he was no worse than this "little guy".
The NBA is a competitive league, and everything needs to be fought for.
Including proving yourself, it is also necessary.
The game is about to begin. Both sides have arranged their respective starting lineups. The Lakers have Tang Qian + Bosh + Ariza + Butler + Jeremy Lin. The Warriors have Stephen Curry + Klay Thompson + Harrison Barnes +
Draymond Green + Andrew Bogut.
This is also the regular starting lineup for both teams in the playoffs.
Just when Tang Qian was standing in the center circle preparing to compete for the ball, a voice suddenly appeared, making him stunned and said:
"Dongfang Tang, I won't make it easy for you in this series." This person turned out to be the Warriors' starting center Bogut.
Tang Qian raised his head and said, "Do I have any grudge against you? Have I offended you?"
"You stole my first defense. I want to prove myself in this series." After Bogut finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds, but only saw the Dongfang No. 29 opposite with an impatient expression: "I stole you."
The first defense? Who do you think you are?"
After saying that, he didn't care about the expression on Bogut's face as if he had eaten a fly. Tang Qian waited seriously for the referee to throw the ball.
This is not meant to be said, it is just a fact. You are a person in the original time and space, that is, the second defense. Don't say you have "airborne" yourself. If not, do you think you can get the first defense? Jordan blocked your
Is there a good way to go? In this time and space, the two defenses have not squeezed in, you still want the first defense? Where is the brain? So Tang Qian is too lazy to talk nonsense with him. As a player, Bogut has never felt that he is his opponent.
How can he have so much patience and such a person beeping so much?
In this series, the target of his attention is not Bogut, but the outside combination known as the "Splash Brothers". The Lakers only won one game against the Warriors in the regular season this year, and the opponent's main force was absent, and the remaining three games
They were beaten every game with ease, which actually put a lot of extra pressure on the Lakers from the beginning of the game.
Watching the referee throw the ball up, Tang Qian judged the speed and time of its fall, bent his knees slightly, and bounced off the ground.
Western Conference, the war begins.
PS: The update is here, it’s still a 6k chapter. Xiao Zi is on a business trip, so she can only go to the Internet cafe to code after work. The Internet cafe does not have a vocabulary that matches her own, and it is noisy, so Xiao Zi can only slow down her hand speed.
If it gets any lower, I will be moved to tears by my own hand speed. Especially there is an old man playing chicken next to me. He roars from time to time. I can't suppress his voice even if I wear headphones. I have to say, for the sake of the game,
People of all ages work hard. Alas, but it is still completed. Don’t worry, Xiaozi will not stop updating. If I have time in the past two days, I will still find an opportunity to burst out with 10,000 words~
