Chapter 1519 The battle of 100 million US dollars has begun
This is really an exciting game, including ESPN's very strong commentary lineup.
Hosts Rachel + Olajuwon + Mark Eaton, these two are typical super hatters. Inviting them here is also a routine of ESPN. It makes the commentary closer to the game. In this aspect,
ESPN is still very attentive. And tonight, ESPN gave a big title, called... The $100 Million Battle!
Of course, this is a gimmick. It is actually only 50 million U.S. dollars. However, judging from the tax amount of the NBA contract, it is not wrong to claim that it is 100 million U.S. dollars. Because it is indeed a real amount that can be obtained after 100 million U.S. dollars after tax.
Numbers. This alone is enough to make many fans go crazy. That night, obviously it was a regular season game, but the ratings and subscribers increased all the way. In the end, it surpassed this year's Christmas game, reaching 16-17
The ratings for the regular season have reached their peak! It can be seen from this that Tang Qian’s voice has brought much benefits to the sports economy.
This kind of popularity and influence is truly incredible.
Otherwise, as an ordinary person, even if you yell like this, everyone will think that you are a second-rate person and a dullard, and no one will even pay attention to you at all. Tang Qian is indeed different now. He is the number one player in the league and is currently on active duty.
The best center in the world, he has the confidence and capital to speak like this. And after he has said it, there are still people who believe him. There are still people who are willing to "finance and invest" in him.
This is his "fame benefit", comparable to that of a Hollywood superstar.
At this time, the traffic of basketball websites in China was almost paralyzed. Everyone was crazily advocating that Emperor Tang was so fierce! Such a hard-core person really deserves to be called the number one person in the world! Domineering, domineering, rich and willful
ah!
There was no operation at all on this matter, and it went directly to the hot search for domestic scarves. The main reason is that the amount is too scary. What is the concept of 100 million US dollars? Do you know how much it would cost to exchange for soft sister coins? Not much, 6~7
About 100 million! Haha, what is this figure? Even if it is a pre-tax figure, it is a bit crazy! Do you know that although the domestic Li Zi sports brand has a revenue of 8.8 billion this year, how much is their net profit? Only 515 million
Soft Girl Coin. So, you now understand how "luxury" and "precious" this game is! It is equivalent to the annual net profit of a large company.
This is really a rich man's game.
If a game like this cannot be on the hot search list, then how can those things that are ridiculed by various gossips and scandals every day have the nerve to stay on the hot search list? Regarding this, countless celebrities have come out, claiming to express their support.
Dadi Tang, I want to do my best for this young man who is working hard alone in the United States. Of course, there are also some second- and third-tier Internet celebrities, small models, and so on who think they are a bit pretty, and they are all here too.
Aite Tangqian wears a scarf on his neck, saying that he wants to give birth to a monkey.
I just don’t know if with so many people, Tang Qian would be “grinded into needles by an iron pestle”.
Of course, these people are all obsessed with money, and most of them have some issues with their values.
There would be something wrong if Tang Qian flirted with them. In a word, it would be better to dislike them.
Those ordinary hangers-on who don't have enough to eat flock to them, and they feel like they want to be treated as the goddess of life.
Tang Qian had no interest in such a person at all, and it was annoying to even post about him.
This game suddenly became a high-profile game. With such a high prize pool, the Pelicans went to the locker room tonight to wipe away the previous bad luck and the previous slump. Everyone was in high spirits.
, as if a chicken blood had been injected. This is really, everyone is gearing up and can't wait for the game to start as soon as possible. In this game, the Pelicans head coach didn't say any nonsense. He didn't want to be disliked now, so it was up to them.
Gone. Anyway, the Pelicans have no hope of the playoffs. It's just one game. He won't come out to get mad and cut off the "financial path" of these players.
In short, the Pelicans locker room is now full of excitement, everyone is beaming, and they are completely excited.
Haha, I'm afraid I wouldn't be so excited even if I reached the finals.
Because this is a real beautiful knife.
Who the hell doesn’t want such easy money? Whoever doesn’t want it is a fool! Cousins is ready to give it a try tonight, and he also really wants to get the $50 million.
Okay! This kind of quick money is like "robbing a bank", okay? Even if you go directly to rob a bank now, 50 million US dollars is not so easy to grab.
Smaller banks don't even have that much money for you to grab.
Therefore, no one on the Pelicans team is not excited.
From star players to water cooler substitutes, they will all fight tooth and nail for the $50 million.
Anyone who doesn't let them try is their own life and death enemy.
At the Staples Center, while the players from both sides were still warming up, Nick Young complained: I mean, Boss Tang, these people treat you like a humanoid cash machine. Those little eyes make me want to scalp.
I'm feeling numb. You probably won't feel better tonight.
Tang Qian said without any hesitation or even with some expectation:
OK, I'm looking forward to them making me feel bad.
This look... Damn, he is worthy of being the boss of Staples. He is so handsome! If only I could have... Oh, forget it, it would be enough for me to be a friend by his side.
! With a few championship rings, my career can be considered complete, right? After a long period of wandering, Nick Young is also very grateful to Tang Qian, and Tang Qian has also stood up for him many times. This is all
A place that he remembers deeply.
Although this guy calls himself a playboy, he still has a lot of brotherly love for Tang Qian.
The game started, Tang Qian would not lose the ball, and the Pelicans didn't think about winning, so they quickly switched to defensive mode. Now everyone is very used to the Lakers' first attack, and Tang Qian's appearance was obvious.
Before the decline, it is estimated that for a long time, when playing against the Lakers, the defensive situation started and will continue. The Lakers gave Tang Qian, and Tang Qian quickly received the ball and attacked. The ball was played very resolutely, so the Pelicans
The team's insiders, who are known as the "strongest inside team in the league," didn't even react for a moment.
The Lakers scored and took a 2-point lead.
However, in this game, everyone's focus is not on the offensive end of the Lakers, but on the defensive end of the Lakers. The Lakers' defensive end is the key to the high number of subscribers and such good ratings for tonight's game. Lakers
Bill McDonald, the home commentator, also quickly got into the zone and said: "Now that we have started, how will we defend? Oh? Sure enough, the single defense was passed, but this situation has become very common recently, and everyone also
Don't be surprised. Our focus in this game is not the outside defense, but the inside defense."
"Yes, everyone wants to see if the tyrant Don can keep the 50 million U.S. dollars, and if anyone can take away the 50 million U.S. dollars." Stu Lantz sighed: "We
There were no such good benefits in those days.”
"Otherwise, if I really risk my life, I have to give it a try. What if I see a ghost? Right."
Bill McDonald joked: "What if you were asked to attack Chamberlain and Russell's defense? Would you go too?"
"Of course! It's necessary! Normally I might hesitate, but now, why are I hesitating? No one can stop me!" Stu Lantz's words represent the player's point of view. After all, he is a retired NBA player.
, we know very well what such a large prize pool means. Are you kidding me? There was a Russian thinker, Lao Ma, who said:
50% profit can make people take risks, 100% profit can make people trample all laws, 300% profit can make people commit any crime, and even risk hanging. So now, this is more than 300% profit.
Zero cost, enough to make people crazy and terrible profits.
So everyone didn't care if the Lakers let them pass from the outside, they just rushed in and hit a dunk!
An explanation voice immediately sounded at the scene:
Here, the first challenger is Jrue Holiday! His annual salary this season is 11.29 million! Less than 6 million after tax. If he can do it, this will be his NBA income for 10 years! Can he?
The answer is...NO!!!
Tyrant Don slapped this dunk hard. I'm sorry, Holiday, but your first challenge failed.
After Tang Qian blocked Holiday, he glanced at him and said, "Continue, don't be discouraged."
He made up his mind to shoot a wave tonight, so it doesn't matter how many points he scores, he must block shots!!! Although there is still a golden block card that can be used, it is guaranteed for the last game, this game
, you have to rely on yourself! Otherwise, even with a golden block card, you can't guarantee the bottom line! Therefore... he feels that his fighting spirit is already boiling in this game!
As for the ESPN commentary, Rachel asked, what do the two shot-blocking experts think of this ball?
Mark Eaton said in an angry voice: Not bad, but Holiday was not ready.
Olajuwon was even more disrespectful and spoke succinctly: This ball was just for the goal.
Well, different positions have different confidences in speaking. Olajuwon is the strongest existence outside the top ten in history. He has an extremely strong reputation. He was also the only one to achieve 2 goals in the 1990s under Joe God's rule.
The man who has won consecutive championships. In addition, he has the honor of being the first in the total blocks list since complete statistics, so he is qualified to evaluate this little Holiday.
You said Holiday has entered the All-Star? So what. For a big guy like Olajuwon, the All-Star is still a substitute, which is a low-level honor. They are competing with the historical giants for historical status.
Sometimes I don't even need this thing.
The Lakers attacked with an air cut from the corner, Rondo passed the ball accurately, and Butler succeeded with an air cut, 4-0.
But there wasn't much applause for Butler at all, because now everyone just wants to watch the Pelicans attack.
Even if Butler scored 40 or 50 points tonight, he wouldn't attract too much attention.
This game is destined to belong to Lakers No. 29. Everyone is only concerned about whether No. 29 will lose this so-called "billion dollar battle" tonight. Dante Cunningham is here, and he breaks through easily.
Either he passed Butler, or Butler just let him pass, then he quickly jumped up.
Hold the ball with one hand and raise your arm to dunk!
"The one coming in now is Dante Cunningham. He was a second-round pick in 2009. He is 203cm tall and weighs 221 pounds. His annual salary this season is 2.98 million U.S. dollars. After tax, it is about 1.5 million. If he can deduct it directly.
, then he will earn the level of after-tax income that takes more than 33 years of his career to achieve! This is definitely a huge sum of money! Can he do it?"
Oh, it looks really effective. Now so many people can't hold it any longer. Tang Qian looked at Dante Cunningham and just smiled, then stood there, motionless, waiting for his opponent to approach.
One, two, three, okay, take off, and then accurately block the shot with one hand. Tang Qian is still one of the gods descending to earth, a little Cunningham, who has not caught his eye. In other words, warm-up
That’s all.
"Go on, get up, the big prize is waving to you." After Tang Qian blocked him, he didn't forget to cheer him up and "bewitch" him, for fear that this guy would give up later and continue to attack. That's not good.
No? So we still have to give the encouragement that should be given. Carrot and stick, isn’t this the crystallization of the thoughts summed up by our ancestors over countless years?
Tang Qian is now learning and applying it now.
On the offensive end of the Lakers, Ariza made a pick-and-roll mid-range shot and missed. Tang Qian did not compete too much for the offensive rebound because it was not in line with his goal for tonight's game. Besides, the Pelicans' thick-browed brother and Kao Shen were there.
, it is not that easy to capture. After all, these two people are still very strong, and they are not fake star players for many years. In addition, Tang Qian is too lazy to waste the effort to fight with them.
Anyway, rebounding is not his key tonight. His goal is still...blocking shots, blocking shots, blocking shots.
Now I will be good friends with whoever attacks my basket.
That, you, yes, that’s you, do you want to come over and be friends with me?
Not long after, someone else from the Pelicans seized the opportunity and began to challenge. Alexi Ajinza caught the ball from the middle after the pick-and-roll, and then followed the trend with a one-handed dunk. He is 213cm tall and weighs 248 pounds.
The real big man faced the Lakers' No. 29 tonight. But... although he has a good wingspan and acceptable height, his athletic ability is really not that good. So this ball
…
Before Bill McDonald could finish saying a few words about Alexi Ajinza, the latter's dunk was slapped away, and the basketball flew into the hands of another Pelicans player, Cousins. Today
The Pelicans' lineup is weird, but considering they don't really want to win anyway, it doesn't matter.
Isn't it all to give every player a chance to get rich overnight?
You also need to understand the difficulty of understanding Alvin Gentry.
But now it was finally Cousins' turn. Tang Qian looked at him and didn't pass by. He just said under the basket in the penalty area:
What, cousin, why don’t you come over and try?
50 million U.S. dollars after tax is enough for your current salary for many years, right? If you accidentally get injured in the future, you still have the opportunity to provide for your retirement perfectly. Do you think that’s right?
Although Tang Qian's words are venomous, they are also well-founded. Cousins' current season salary is only 16.96 million, so he will make about 17 million US dollars. After tax, it is only 8 million+ million. If he wants to get 50 million after tax, let's talk
Really, his total salary income has never been so much. Currently, Cousins’ salary income totals 61.19 million U.S. dollars. And it is all pre-tax salary. In other words, as of the 16-17 season, Cousins
The actual U.S. dollars in hand are at most about 30 million U.S. dollars.
He has never had a net income of US$50 million in his life.
Having said that, let’s talk about another sad fact. Even in the 18-19 season, Cousins only received a total of 84.59 million U.S. dollars. After tax, it was just over 40 million. Haha, so, 5,000
An after-tax net income of RMB 10,000 is also a huge amount of income for Cousins.
Not small at all.
Therefore, do you think Kaoshen will come and give it a try?
PS: There is one more chapter, keep going~~~
Is it true that Harden has been sluggish all the way in the playoffs? With these statistics and efficiency, is he really a guy who averaged 36+ points per game in the regular season? You have to know that his number of shots has not dropped compared to the regular season. This is different from Kobe
The situation in the playoffs in the 35+ season was different. That year, Kobe's efficiency was eye-catching and his shooting percentage was very high. Harden... was restricted.
A 36% shooting rate? You really need to reflect on yourself. The glory of the point position is not so resistant.
The regular season needs to be tough, and the playoffs need to be even tougher. If you don’t like it ending like this, it would be too boring.
