Healing Basketball

Chapter 146 146. Sky-high price endorsement!

When Yao Ming came, Liu Xiu's uncle, Cheng Fengwei, put down his work and ran back to receive Yao Ming, and helped Qing'er prepare a table of dishes.

Before lunch, Cheng Fengwei asked Liu Xiu to take more than a dozen photos of him and Yao Ming.

Liu Xiu is so angry!
Your relatives and nephews have never seen you so excited to enter the NBA.

When it was time for lunch, the topic of the house came up.

"Jess, I asked the landlord of our building, and he is not willing to sell. The same is true of the building near the river that your uncle and I went to see before. I heard that these two landlords have a lot of buildings in their hands. Most of the buildings are unoccupied and empty." My aunt complained...

After staying in China for several years, and being married to Cheng Fengwei for more than ten years, the idea that having your own house is equivalent to having a family has deeply rooted in Aunt Liu Xiu's heart.

Liu Xiu felt as if he had talked with someone about this similar topic in the past few days, and replied: "It doesn't matter, if you don't sell it, you don't sell it. Let's rent it first. After a few years, the real estate bubble in the United States will burst, and those real estate speculators will ask for it." to sell.

Our landlord is still nice. If he wants to sell the house at that time, we can just buy it at a reasonable price.

He does not lack this little money, and if the price falls and he does not sell it, we will find other houses to buy. The most important thing in the United States is houses. "

Uncle and aunt nodded in unison, the last sentence was correct.

Both of them agreed with Liu Xiu's thoughts. The aunt asked the question, but she just needed to determine an answer.

In making a decision, no one is more decisive than their genius nephew.

This child is most afraid of trouble and makes decisions very quickly.

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Yao Ming thought of the Internet bubble in the United States a few years ago, and felt that Liu Xiu's prediction was very clever, so he discussed this topic with Liu Xiu.

There are several top NBA players who don't invest.

Yao Ming started investing when he entered the NBA, and made a lot of money.

Liu Xiu analyzed the real estate trend for Yao Ming in a very 'reasonable' way. Anyway, if he seized those few points in time, he could just pull the wheel.

But Yao Ming's positive attitude made Liu Xiu want to invest in American real estate.

Free money...

But he has no capital, and his salary is quite a lot, but real estate speculation is a little bit worse.

Of course he doesn't worry about this, he's already rich and rich playing in the NBA, well, he prefers Nowitzki's attitude towards life.

But sometimes, when you want to sleep, someone will hand you a pillow...

……

After lunch, Liu Xiu and Yao Ming played the Frozen Throne for a while. They still had a lot of common topics, such as World of Warcraft, which Blizzard announced in July last year, which would be open beta in North America at the end of this year. The two made an appointment to play together in the future.

Yao Ming said that he has acquaintances, and he might be able to get a few internal beta accounts by entrusting the relationship.

Around three o'clock, Bill Duffy called.

At the first sentence on the other side, Liu Xiu's eyes widened...

"Okay, I see, I'm waiting for you to come over."

After chatting for a few minutes, Liu Xiu hung up the phone.

It doesn't matter if there is a two-meter-two giant guy and a little loli in the study.

"Jast Bile... Bile... Bile..."

Liu Xiu's Mickey Dance, let's go!

Qing'er, who was watching the game, and Yao Ming, who was playing the game together, were dumbfounded.

Qing'er yelled towards the living room: "Mom, Dad, brother has a convulsion!"

After a while, Liu Xiu recovered and found four pairs of eyes staring at him...

"Ahem," Liu Xiu blushed, coughed twice, and said, "I have good news!"

The uncle pretended not to hear what Liu Xiu said, and asked, "Xiu'er, are you alright?"

"Something happened!"

"Go, go to the hospital if you have something in your head!"

"..."

Liu Xiu feels that some things may be hereditary.

After being speechless for a while, Liu Xiu adjusted her mood, returned to an excited expression, and said, "My endorsement contract is here!"

Uncle's eyes lit up: "Did Reebok promise to give you 500 million a year as an endorsement fee?"

As an uncle, I am really happy. He talked about this with Liu Xiu before. At that time, Liu Xiu directly rejected the 4-year contract of 800 million dollars from the hook, and the offer from Reebok was 300 million dollars. But the limit is 5 years.

Liu Xiu was dissatisfied with the salary and the tenure. Liu Xiu said that it would be 500 million US dollars a year, or a one-year or two-year short contract.

Then it dragged on...

Liu Xiu shook her index finger.

"Small!
Uncle, your layout is too small!

Air-Jordan, 7 million in 9000 years! "

"The one who rides the horse is more expensive than my endorsement fee!"

The onlookers Yao Ming burst into foul language!

Yao Ming didn't think much of it when Liu Xiu's uncle said $500 million. Last summer, he received $7 million from Reebok for seven years.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu actually got 7 million in 9000 years!
jealous.

Aware of the slip of the tongue, and there are children, Yao Ming quickly changed the subject: "Warden, you have become the No. 1 endorsement fee for Chinese athletes, please treat me!"

Liu Xiu rolled her eyes and complained, "The hook offered you 7 million for 1.2 years, but you rejected it yourself."

Speaking of this, even after several months, Yao Ming was still a little angry: "They humiliated me before, it's not about money anymore."

For the sake of dignity, don't want 7000 million US dollars... Well, Liu Xiu thinks he will do the same.

Liu Xiu remembered that Yao Ming also rejected an advertisement shoot for a Japanese car company with a price of 2000 million US dollars.

The reason Yao Ming gave at that time was Leu Ruisen.

"By the way, Warden, I remember that the hook signed James, your No. 7 pick this year? It seems that it was also 9000 years and [-] million. AJ signed you to fight with James?"

……

In the past two days, Liu Xiu ranked first in the Western Conference and second in the league in the first stage of the All-Star starting vote, which is the hottest topic among NBA fans.

The controversy is extremely high, fans have mixed reviews, and opinions on this matter are also polarized.

In the winner-takes-all world of sports competition, when a person gets more popular or gets hacked more miserably, he will develop to the most extreme degree.

The more controversial, the higher it will become.

There have been more people complaining about Liu Xiu and more people supporting her.

On January 1th, another breaking news came out...

AJ is going to use two endorsement contracts of 7 million US dollars in 9000 years and 7 million US dollars in 4200 years to sign Liu Xiu and Anthony respectively, and bring the two prides of Syracuse under his command!
Another 7 years and 9000 million!
Another rookie in 03!
Like Yao Ming's opinion, people are discussing, is this AJ going to compete with the mother brand?
This incident made Liu Xiu more controversial.

On the side of the party, after the matter was confirmed, he got a little excited and put it aside.

What kind of commercial shooting activities and publicity activities are coming up, just join the work plan, and wait for the small money...

At 7:40 in the evening, the Rockets and Trail Blazers entered the Rose Garden Arena. The Chinese Derby will be staged again soon!

After entering the arena, Liu Xiu and Yao Ming accepted the pre-match live interview of the court TV together.

This time it was still old friend Su Qun who conducted the interview.

"The fans regard you as a representative of Chinese basketball and the future of Chinese basketball. Do you feel pressure?"

Liu Xiuying said: "Representative, I don't think I can represent Chinese basketball. Before me, there were many outstanding outside players who won honors on behalf of the national team. I haven't done anything yet."

Facing the interview with the court station, it was Yao Ming who spoke more relaxedly: "Teacher Su Qun, I think you are flattering us. When we work together to help the national team win medals, you can ask us this question again."

"For tonight's game, do you have any secret tactics against each other?"

Yao Ming replied: "The warden is here, you want me to tell you the secret tactics? Isn't it good?"

"It's okay, you can say it, but I think you have no way to beat us, just like we beat you, you can't think of anything to be afraid of."

Su Qun's eyes lit up, look carefully, isn't this coming?
Although as long as there is the gimmick of "Chinese Derby", there is nothing to worry about.

But it is better to create more highlights.

Yao Ming was very funny and humorous when he was interviewed, but it was still too boring.

Su Qun felt that he was needed to extend this topic at this time...

Unexpectedly, Yao Ming tugged on the armguard and said, "We have nothing to scare you? Let your inner lines be cleaned and wait for me!"

Su Qun was stunned, Yao Ming's words were aggressive enough!

He hasn't interviewed Yao Ming for a while, and recently ran with the Trail Blazers.

But in retrospect, Yao Ming seemed to be more confident than before when he was asked questions about O'Neal during the Christmas game against the Lakers.

Liu Xiu suddenly realized and replied: "That's right, you are very fierce in singles...

But what does this have to do with me?It's not that I'm against you. "

"Chu!"

"Grass... cough cough cough... our pre-match interview is over here..."

……

The Rockets players wanted to win, and so did their coach Van Gundy.

For them, every game is very important, and if they want to make the playoffs, they must not be careless.

However, looking at the lineup on the opposite side... it's difficult.

The Trail Blazers are currently 24 wins and 10 losses, fourth in the West.

The Rockets are 19 wins and 15 losses, ninth in the Western Conference.

Of course, it's not hopeless, let alone, judging from their results against the top five in the East and West, the probability of winning is not small!The Rockets won more than lost!
In the past half a month, they defeated the Lakers in the Christmas game and the Mavericks on the 2nd, and they were beaten by 20 points against the Kings the day before yesterday.

But in the recent round, they have played against the top five teams in the Western Conference 3 times, with 2 wins and 1 loss!
Before the start of the game, Rockets veteran point guard Mark Jackson had been helping the coaching staff to instill in his teammates the idea that 'we are strong enough to beat the strong'.

And this is what the Trail Blazers, who sit at home, are afraid of.

The characteristics of the Rockets' style of play do have such an ability.

"... 90.3 points per game, 88.9 points conceded per game, 42.9 rebounds per game, 39.8 rebounds per game, 43.9% field goal percentage, 42.6% field goal percentage..."

The team information on the opposite side reminded Liu Xiu of the Nets.

But the difference is that the Nets averaged 24.5 assists per game, and before Kidd was injured, he averaged 25.1 per game, second only to the Kings in the league.

The Rockets averaged 19.1 assists per game, ranking last in the league.

There are many things that can be seen from the opponent's information.

For example, Liu Xiu discovered that the current offensive style of the top three in Texas is highly unified-single play!
It's a cowboy of the west.

Near 8 o'clock, the two teams started playing.

Tianzun played amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene.

Tianzun's way of screaming and screaming after his wonderful performances such as dunks and blocks has been loved by the new generation of Trail Blazers fans.

Coming to the middle circle, the excited Tianzun felt a strong murderous aura...

Move the Great Wall!

Tianzun felt a sudden in his heart, it seemed that there was something bad omen...

Do not!
Don't be shy!
Anyway, he is a man who wants to open up space on the offensive end.

Trail Blazers starting, Derek - Anderson, Ruben - Patterson, Travis - Outlaw, Randolph, Rasheed - Wallace.

Rockets starting: Francis, Mobley, Jim - Jackson, Cato, Yao Ming.

Tianzun easily won the jump ball from Yao Ming's head, and the Blazers went first.

Tianzun throws off Cato and cuts into the frame to catch the ball... With the clear sound of blocking, the ball thrown by Tianzun is slapped down by Yao Ming who judged it to be in place, and the Blazers' first attack is over.

The hated Tianzun watched Francis grab the defensive rebound, and really wanted to give himself a slap.

Just now I thought it would be fine not to enter the inside line.

But Cato couldn't keep up with his cutting pace at all!
Francis, who grabbed the ball, lamented that their mobile Great Wall has become more and more heroic.

For this ball, if Yao Ming makes a mistake in predicting the ball and the opponent passes the ball, Randolph can definitely score easily. In the case of Yao Ming before, he might be hesitant, miss the best opportunity to block shots, and even lead to more fouls.

Attack decisively, although there will be some mistakes in judgment, but as a center with the top frame protection talent, you need to believe in your judgment ability more like this.

Pressing the rhythm to advance to the frontcourt, Jeff Van Gundy's team has only one rhythm-playing positional battles slowly.

Yao Ming received the ball from the low post on the left side of the three-second zone, and Tianzun was guarding him.

The attack and defense at the beginning left an indelible shadow on Tianzun...

Yao Ming, who weighs 134 kilograms, slammed Tianzun into the basket in three consecutive steps, turned around, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
"hiss……"

Watching Yao Ming clenched his fists and retreated, Liu Xiu gasped.

This should have nothing to do with his warden...

O'Neal couldn't guard against Yao Ming at the beginning of the game, but he played more violently than before.

Yes, it must be ok!

What's more, it's just two points. Turning around, hooking and dunking are just two points.

There should be nothing wrong with Liu Xiu's thinking.

But tonight, the Rockets' defense is surprisingly good!
Yao Ming, who was playing more aggressively and violently, sent out his second block not long after. The outsider cut to the inside to catch the ball and dangled. .

In the first half of the quarter, as long as the Trail Blazers fell into positional battles, they basically couldn't score!
Yao Ming has the biggest weight in the game, good mobility and outstanding flexibility before gaining weight, and he has built a no-fly zone under the basket by himself, so that his teammates can boldly attack and shoot.

The opponent wants to cut in, there is a moving Great Wall behind them!
The Trail Blazers replaced Little Flying Squirrel with enhanced outside singles in advance, but the effect was not good.

At 6 minutes and 06 seconds into the first quarter, Yao Ming turned around after catching the ball and caused Randolph, who was flanking, to foul and go to the free throw line.

Playing too hard, Yao Ming made the first free throw, and the Trail Blazers called a timeout.

Little Flying Squirrel was a little confused... Just now, the Mobile Great Wall on the opposite side also mentioned that fruit...

Chinese people like to eat tomatoes?
