The Lakers lost, and China Hot was suspected of being affected by the "Twitter storm."
On May 9, an ESPN commentator posted a personal tweet, once again adding fuel to the "Twitter incident".
China Hot Road, Gray Jones, come to me if you have the guts!——An article published by an ESPN reporter.
The angry China is hot! He told Gray Jones to be careful. If he dares to touch Ajali Ranadive, he will definitely visit him personally! - Yahoo Sports reporter published an article.
The war between football players and basketball players? No, no, no, it’s far more than that simple! In fact, Ajali Ranadive is the key! – wrote an American gossip magazine, “Clear and Clear”.
Suddenly, this matter became more and more serious.
What is all this? Tang Qian looked at all kinds of news on the Internet, and all of them were exaggerated. Not a single reporter told the truth! Is this considered a characteristic of American imperialism? It’s really amazing!
"Hot, since you said that you only have a one-time relationship with Ajali Ranadive, you should stand up and make it clear, otherwise the Internet will be in chaos. There are many people who even say that you two are in a triangle relationship!"
Te.Barnes said.
"How do you say it? Did any of those reporters honestly write what I said? It's all nonsense! The more you describe it, the darker it gets!" Tang Qian also felt a little annoyed and said, because of this matter, Mike Brown even went out of his way to
I went to him and asked him to focus more on playing and think less about things off the court. This made Tang Qian very depressed.
"It's very simple, just stand up and say it yourself." Matt Barnes suggested.
"Say it yourself? What do you say? I'm not a reporter or an unscrupulous editor!" Tang Qian said angrily after hearing this.
"That's okay." Matt Barnes said: "Don't you know there is a thing called Twitter?"
"Twitter?" Tang Qian was stunned and blurted out: "American Weibo?"
"American Weibo? What is that?" Matt Barnes asked rhetorically.
"Oh, it's nothing." Tang Qian quickly changed the subject and said: "But I think it's easy to get distracted when opening something like this, isn't it, Matt?"
"What's so distracting!" Matt Barnes said: "When you want to update, just update it yourself. When you don't want to update, just let your personal agent update it. It only takes ten seconds."
"Personal agent? What is that?" Tang Qian said in a daze.
"They are just personal assistants who manage daily affairs." Matt Barnes said: "Unlike famous signing agents, they provide one-on-one service with you. After getting familiar with it, they can also work on behalf of the signing agent. After all, there are
Famous signing agents charge very high commissions, which is okay for All-Star players. They don't care about the small amount of money, but for small players like us, it's a bit expensive. Think about it, in addition to paying taxes, you also have to pay extra
How much money do we have left with the high broker commission? And they are so stinky that they generally don’t have time to deal with you except for big orders!"
Tang Qian nodded. Don't think that the NBA can get as much as you sign a contract. In addition to the guarantee of the contract, there is also the tax rate issue in each state. The first thing you must pay is the U.S. federal tax, which is up to 39.6%. This is
The new policy introduced in 2013 levies taxes on wealthy people and wealthy families with an annual income of more than $450,000. NBA players basically exceed this collection line, so the federal tax of up to 39.6% cannot be evaded. In addition,
In addition, there is state tax. California has the highest state tax in the United States, as high as 13.3%. However, there are also some states that do not have personal income state tax, such as Texas. Take Kobe’s $30.45 million season as an example. The entire 13-14 season
, he only played 6 games. According to the guaranteed contract details, he can still get about 80% of his salary, which is US$24.36 million. Many people think that this is Kobe’s season contract income, and he only played 6 games.
It's really scary to get 24.36 million US dollars.
But the actual situation is not like this, because Kobe also needs to pay 39.6% federal tax and 13.3% California state tax. The former is about 9.6 million US dollars, and the latter is about 3.2 million US dollars, which adds up to 12.8 million US dollars. In this way, Kobe
In the 2013-14 season, he can only get 11.56 million US dollars. Wait, this is not over. In fact, there is still 2%-4% of the agent's commission, and then there are also some scattered "miscellaneous" things such as medical insurance.
"Tax", after this calculation, Kobe's actual contract salary for the 13-14 season is "only" more than 10 million US dollars.
In order to save money, many ordinary NBA players do not hire agents and negotiate with team management themselves.
In this way, there is a living space for "portable brokers".
Ordinary players hire them to save money, because they are cheaper than contracted agents. What about big-name players? They still hire them, but unlike ordinary players, they hire "portable agents" not to save money, but to save time.
Effort-saving. Why? Because famous NBA agents are very busy and have more than one NBA player under their name. Big contracts are okay, but small contracts, small advertisements, and small activities are simply too lazy to go out and waste time.
You can’t even get a few commissions, let alone any help and care in daily life. It’s okay to search once or twice, but if you search too much, you will be rejected directly. That’s why “portable brokers” came into being.
, they are a bit like "private nannies", helping the players "escort" and "take care of chores" every day.
Of course, the most important thing is that the price is cheap, very cheap.
Many big-name NBA players have given up their "fat positions" to their playmates and childhood friends because they are trustworthy. As for ordinary players, it is simply for the sake of cheapness.
"So, just hire a personal agent. It's cheap and easy to use. If it's a beautiful woman, you can...hehe!" Barnes said with a "you know" expression, making Tang Qian roll his eyes.
.
May 10th, US time, today is the sixth game of the playoffs between the Lakers and Nuggets. The venue of the game is moved to the Pepsi Center in Denver.
In the afternoon, Gray Jones once again posted a personal tweet: Chinaman, if you have the ability, come to the Houston Texans to find me! I will let you know the price of talking nonsense!!!
As if seeing that Tang Qian had not opened Twitter, Ajali Ranadive stepped forward and spoke to help: Gray Jones, are you bullying Tang Qian for not having Twitter? When he is really standing in front of you, how dare you speak like this?
I remember how unlucky you looked that day!
Ajali Ranadive's Twitter once again pushed the "war" to a higher level. Many American netizens left messages under her Twitter:
What's wrong? From what you're saying, the two of them have already had a head-on conflict?
Who is more embarrassed? Please answer!
Idiot, can’t you understand people’s tweets? It’s obviously Gray Jones who suffered the loss!
But how is this possible? Gray Jones is a muscle monster, and he has been aggressive since he was a child. I have never heard of him suffering any losses!
How do I know this? Anyway, that’s what people say.
Immediately, the number of comments on Twitter surged, and the Twitter comment area of the two people was instantly flooded.
In the sixth game, Tang Qian was "overshadowed by dark clouds" from the beginning. He was affected by the "inner demon" and his competitive state dropped by 30%.
This seemed to foreshadow something.
Kobe and the Lakers are nothing! Tonight I not only want to overthrow the Lakers, but also score more points than Kobe! - Before the game started, Ty Lawson said this wildly in an interview with the Denver media.
Playing at home has this advantage. The familiar stadium, enthusiastic fans, and local media give the home team an advantage from both inside and outside the court.
This was a battle that lost suspense early. The Nuggets scored 30 points in the first quarter, leading Los Angeles by 10 points.
Ty Lawson seemed to be fulfilling his promise with fierce firepower. He made 4 of 4 three-pointers and scored perfect statistics of 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter. He beat Kobe's 10 points and 2 rebounds.
In the second quarter, Kobe continued his firepower and scored 9 points, while Lawson only scored 4 points.
In the second quarter, the Lakers led the Nuggets by one point, 25-24.
What was really scary was that in the third quarter, the Denverites scored 36 points, while the Lakers only scored 23 points. 68-90, the score difference suddenly became 22 points. The reason for this has nothing to do with Kobe.
He was still hot in the third quarter, making 5 of 8 shots and scoring 10 points in a single quarter. Unfortunately, the Lakers continued to misfire inside. Gasol made 1 of 5 shots in a single quarter, Bynum made 0 of 4 shots, and the team overall hit.
The rate is almost unreadable.
In the fourth quarter, Kobe tried to fight back, but couldn't get open inside, so George Karl began to double-team him unscrupulously. This caused all his shots to miss the basket, and none of them hit the Nuggets' basket. Offensive end
Gasol and Bynum were in a downturn at the same time, beating Mike Brown to the point where he almost fainted from anger.
Seeing that time was running out, Mike Brown had to replace all the main players. Five minutes before the end, the Los Angeles Lakers surrendered early. Tang Qian did not get much playing time in this game, scoring 2 points in only 14 minutes and 39 seconds.
Data of 6 rebounds and 1 block. The reason why he played so little time in the sixth game is that he did not perform well in the last game. The second reason is that this game is very crucial. Mike Brown increased Gasol's number without authorization.
Playing time. Therefore, the playing time Tang Qianqian gets is quite limited.
The more critical the game, the more the head coach trusts the main players, which is normal. But Gasol's performance tonight was disappointing. He only made 1 shot out of 10 shots, and his overall shooting percentage was 10%.
His total statistics are 3 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. This really does not reflect the true level of the Spaniard.
Although Anzhu's shooting percentage was also poor, only 36.4%, he grabbed 16 rebounds and made 4 big shots. His personal statistics are quite impressive.
At the post-game press conference, Kobe looked livid, and Mike Brown helped answer most of the questions.
"Bryant, the Lakers went from a good situation of 3-1 to a tiebreaker at 3-3. What do you think is the reason? Can the Lakers advance to the next round of the series smoothly?" A reporter stood up and asked Kobe
road.
Kobe looked at the reporter who asked the question and said in a cold and stern voice:
"You.talking.to.me?"
"All rubbish!"
After saying that, Kobe turned around and left the press conference.
PS: Lakers fans in the 2011-2012 playoffs still remember that in the crucial sixth game, Gasol made 1 of 10 shots from the field, with a shooting percentage of only 10%, which was surprising and puzzling.
In fact, the details of NBA players' tax payment are far more complicated than what Xiaozi said. If they are broken down, there are home state taxes and away state taxes. To put it simply, if the home court is Toyota Center, then no state taxes will be paid, but if you go to Sri Lanka
When playing games at the Taples Center, you have to pay taxes. However, away games are also played in tax-free states, such as Texas teams, the Spurs, and the Mavericks, except in the arenas of the Grizzlies, Magic, and Heat.
You don’t have to pay taxes if you play games in the city. Counting 82 games, if you are a Rockets player, you will have to pay state taxes for about 33 to 34 away games. Xiaozi said this just to let everyone understand that many friends are confused when they see NBA signings.
I’m a little confused, so I’ll mention it here. Because the NBA is a very rigorous business league, this is definitely worth learning from our domestic basketball team.
