"Hey? Son, why are you dressed so formally today? Are you going out again?" Tang's mother was now particularly concerned about Tang Qian's actions.
"No, Mom, someone is coming to the house today." Tang Qian said casually while adjusting his manners.
"Really?" Mother Tang asked still somewhat suspiciously.
"Really, Mom, why are you so gossipy now? I remember you were not like this before." Tang Qian said.
"It was before, and now is now. You were just a young boy before, but now you are an American celebrity, earning millions a year. Of course, I have to keep an eye on you to prevent you from being hooked up by some unscrupulous person.
Yes!" Mother Tang's answer left Tang Qian speechless. The latter said, "Mom, do you think I am the kind of person who is not firm-willed?"
"That's not true. If nothing else, don't we have an old saying in China? Men tend to become bad when they are rich. Your mother is doing this for your own good." I thought I would get an answer that would be approved by Mother Tang, but unexpectedly, Mother Tang
A "big last hit" came.
"By the way, son, I think the foreign girl last time was good. You and her can continue to develop." Before Tang Qian could answer, Tang's mother said first.
"Please, Mom, where did you think you were going? She and I are just friends."
"What about friendships? Your generation is different from ours. They all started as friends. I understand this."
"Mom, you are really overthinking this. And you may not know it, but she is a celebrity in the United States and even around the world. The so-called wealthy, talented and beautiful person is the kind of person she is talking about."
"Celebrity? Son, aren't you also an American celebrity now? Are you still not worthy of her?"
When Tang Qian heard this, he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Mom, you are really right about this. I am indeed not worthy of her."
"How is that possible? Could it be that she can earn millions a year?" Tang's mother obviously still thought of a "little bourgeoisie".
"A million?" Tang Qian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid to scare you if I tell you."
"You brat, how old are you and how old are your mother and me? You have eaten more salt than you have eaten. What can scare me? Even your uncle and aunt's family background, your mother and I
She didn't even frown at all!" Tang's mother saw Tang Qian "looking down on" her, and immediately became "furious" and said with "arrogance", patting her chest.
"Uncles and aunts?" Tang Qian smiled and shook his head: "Mom, ten uncles and aunts can't even compare to this person."
"What? Is this true? Your uncle's family now has tens of millions of assets!" Tang's mother questioned.
"Really, Mom." Tang Qian said, "She should be able to earn more than 50 million a year, and it's still in U.S. dollars."
Mother Tang was stunned for a moment, then said after a long while: "50 million U.S. dollars? Oh my God, how much does this cost?"
"Converted into RMB, it's about more than 300 million." Tang Qian's words completely "petrified" Tang's mother. For ordinary working-class families in China, 10 million is already an unreachable number. As for the word 100 million,
That basically only appears in TV dramas and news.
"More than 300 million? Is this a year's income?" Tang's mother felt her tongue was a little knotted as she asked, because Tang Qian's answer had already exceeded her bottom line.
"Really, Mom, this is my annual income." Tang Qian nodded with certainty.
"What does their family do? How come they are so rich?" Tang's mother asked.
"Mom, her family's conditions are pretty good, but when it comes to earning power, she owns it all by herself and has nothing to do with her family. She is a real strong woman in the new era!" Tang Qian said.
"This, so powerful." Tang's mother was shocked after all. In fact, let alone her, even Tang Qian was frightened by Taylor's "heroism" when he first came to the United States? Taylor Swift 2012
The total income is 57 million US dollars, which is almost 400 million yuan, so to say "Tang Qian is not worthy of her", in a sense, there is really no problem at all.
At least now, that's what it looks like.
Just after noon, the doorbell of Tang Qian's house rang. Tang Qian walked over and opened the door. Standing outside the door was a fashionable and intellectual tall beauty. She was none other than Abby Hornacek.
"Hello, hot."
"Hello, Miss Hornacek."
"Please come in. Just park the car in the garage."
After Abby Hornacek parked the car in the garage, she looked around for a moment, then opened her mouth and said, "Hom, I didn't expect that, your family is so rich?"
"Rich? What kind of money do I have? It's only more than 400,000 US dollars a year. How dare you call me rich in front of you?" Tang Qian was stunned and said.
"Your independent house is not cheap. It is in a good location and has an excellent community environment. It is definitely an expensive place in Los Angeles." Abby Hornacek said with a shrewd look.
"What do you mean by this house?" Tang Qian said, "This is not mine. My parents came to the United States temporarily, so I asked a friend to borrow it temporarily." "Borrowed it temporarily? Then your financial strength is not simple, as a friend."
"Abby Hornacek didn't know whether she said it intentionally or unintentionally.
"This is my mother, this is my father, this is the translator we hired, Johns, Dad, Mom, Johns. This is the journalist friend I mentioned before, Abby Hornacek." Tang
After Qian led Hornacek into the house, he took the initiative to introduce each other.
"Oh, this girl is so handsome. She is so beautiful, tall and fair." After seeing Abby Hornacek, Mrs. Tang couldn't help but admire her.
"Perm? What did your mother say?" Because she couldn't understand Chinese, Abby Hornacek asked Tang Qian.
"Oh, it's nothing. My mother just complimented you on how beautiful you are." Tang Qian translated.
"Oh, thank you, you are so polite!" Abby Hornacek replied very politely.
…
After walking into a room alone with Tang Qian, Abby Hornacek suddenly said: "Fang, is this house really not yours?"
"Really not? What's wrong?" Tang Qian asked.
"That Johns just now is obviously not an ordinary person. What does your family do? He is not a smuggler, right? He actually has bodyguards at home?" Abby Hornacek asked.
"No, that Johns is really the translator I hired. It's just that he used to be a soldier, so he looks more tough."
"Really?" Abby Hornacek rolled her eyes and said, "Then I understand, your friend who 'borrowed the house' is a woman, right?"
"How did you know?" Tang Qian asked doubtfully.
"It's very simple. The layout and decoration of this house are obviously feminine. And I dare to conclude that she is not old and is a very young woman, right?"
"You are so amazing, your observation skills are so strong." Tang Qian admired sincerely.
"It's nothing. As journalists, these are the basic qualities we must have." After Abby Hornacek said that, he set up a small camera in the room, then took out the recorder and notebook, and sat down.
Said: "Fang, shall we start now?"
"Okay, I have no problem." Tang Qian nodded.
…
Los Angeles, Toyota Sports Center.
"The playoff schedule has been released. Everyone should have seen it, right?" Mike Brown said, standing in the center of the training ground and looking at all the players.
"Of course, coach." The Lakers players replied one after another.
"Although the Denver Nuggets are only ranked sixth in the Western Conference this year, they are not that big of a win away from us, the Lakers. They are only three games away. So everyone cannot take it lightly and must prepare for the game with all their strength. Do you understand?
"Mike Brown started to "lecturing" before the series. For him, the Lakers entered the playoffs as the "top four" and maintained the home court advantage. His position as head coach was finally a little more secure.
However, it is still impossible to relax. After all, Los Angeles has a huge appetite in recent years. It was a strong team that won two consecutive championships the year before last. Naturally, the fans’ demands cannot be a “first round trip” or “second round trip” in the playoffs.
To put it bluntly, reaching the Western Conference Finals is barely satisfactory.
Therefore, the pressure on Mike Brown has always been great.
"Starting from today, the team's training focus will shift to targeted and specific ones. This is the Nuggets' main tactics and main offensive and defensive mode in the regular season. Everyone will remember it clearly when they go home. While there is still one day,
There will be simulated confrontation training tomorrow!”
After the team entered playoff mode, Tang Qian suddenly felt the professionalism and extraordinaryness of the NBA.
Various "big models", "big data" and "big theories" are beginning to emerge in endlessly. Take Ty Lawson of the Nuggets as an example, from basic data, to high-level data, to hidden data, one by one, all
It is clearly listed on the paper, so that it can be seen clearly at a glance, which is very scary.
Tang Qian held the analysis form in his hand, and his eyes naturally focused on Kenneth Farid and JaVale McGee.
Because the two of them are the main big men in the Denver Nuggets series.
And coincidentally, they are all athletic insider types.
