God of NBA point guards

Chapter 358 One of the greatest sports players on the planet
From this night to the next morning, the media from all over the world, countless large and small TV stations, and newspapers began to hype the result of this boxing match.

"King of Iron Fist, King of Crossovers, Glory of the Yellow Race!" Tokyo Daily.

"Breaking the PPV sales record, the crossover king has become a veritable super-popular sports superstar!" The New York Times.

"The Iron Fist, one of the greatest sportsmen on the planet." Seattle Post.

"Looking forward to Lewis, Riddick Bowe, and Bruno challenging the Iron Fist as soon as possible and regaining the WBC gold belt." BBC reported.

"Double King, Tekken has become an epoch-making world-class sports superstar." Russia News.

"The greatest cross-border giant in the sports world, his talent can conquer more sports." German national television.

Overnight, Zhou Quan's popularity in the world skyrocketed tenfold and hundreds of times, and his popularity, influence, etc. also skyrocketed. He really completed his career, and even got a new nickname, King of Iron Fist.

He has grown from an NBA superstar whose influence is mainly in North America and China, and a professional boxing star who has a certain influence in the sports world all over the world, to a world-class top sports superstar, whose influence has completely surpassed the sports world.

This kind of influence has transcended the barriers of skin color and country, culture and race, and gained the recognition of the whole world.

Its influence is first reflected in Roger Philippe. He has received a large number of endorsement invitations from the world's top brands, and the contracts are very generous, fully meeting the standards of the world's top sports superstars.

Not all the world's top sports superstars can receive so many endorsement invitations from top world brands.

These brands pay a lot of attention, such as whether the temperament of the spokesperson meets the requirements of the brand, whether the popularity and popularity meet the requirements, whether the appearance meets the requirements, and so on.

For example, Maradona, the world champion, has met the requirements for popularity, popularity, strength, achievements, and influence, but his temperament and appearance cannot meet the requirements of those brands.

And Zhou Quan met these requirements, so a lot of the world's top brands flocked to it.

The second reaction is that in China, Zhou Quan also completed his outing overnight. From a well-known sports player to a national hero, his social status, historical status, and political status have skyrocketed.

The third reaction caused by influence, US President Kirchner announced at the White House media briefing the next day that Zhou Quan would be exempted from visas and invited Zhou Quan and the NBA Supersonics to visit the White House on October 10.

That is to say, Zhou Quan no longer needs to apply for a visa. With his Chinese passport, he can enter the United States at any time, and there is even no limit on the period of residence.

Kirsten publicly invited Zhou Quan and the Supersonic team to visit the White House, which has already shocked the entire United States and the world.

The NBA team accepted the invitation to visit the White House during the Celtics' eighth consecutive championship, but it did not become a routine, because basketball is not very popular in the United States, and the popularity of rugby and baseball far exceeds that of the NBA. The interaction between the president and the sports world is mainly On top of those two sports, the championship teams of those two leagues are invited to visit the White House every year.

Later, when Jordan won the championship for the first time in 91, he was also invited, but after that, no NBA team was invited to visit the White House for several years.

Usually, the visit to the White House is in September or early October, and the invitation will be made half a month in advance. The White House did not invite the championship supersonic to visit the White House before, so this time, the main goal of the invitation personally by Kerr is of course Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan was also very surprised when he saw the news. He didn't expect that after winning a world boxing champion across the border, he would have such a great influence. He, an athlete from China, was actually personally invited by the President of the United States.

Afterwards, the phone calls between him and his agent Philip rang off the hook.

……

Zhou Quan and Zeng Li stayed in Las Vegas for three days. The relationship between the two entered the stage of sweetness, and Zeng Li became more and more attached to Zhou Quan.

In the past three days, he has signed many endorsement contracts with top brands. He has 24 top brand endorsement contracts and 47 first-tier brands.

The gifts and various brand items given to him by these brands filled a room of 120 square meters.

On the 3rd, when he was taking Zeng Li to lunch, he was bumped into by a reporter.

The reporter asked excitedly: "Tiequan, according to the exact news, you should be able to earn hundreds of millions of dollars by virtue of the World Boxing Championship this time.

Then, plus the previous qualifying match, the two boxing matches earned at least 5000 million, plus this year's salary and endorsement income, the annual income should reach [-] million US dollars.

This is equivalent to the sum of the top four in the Forbes annual income list of sports athletes last year, and you are already the world's most lucrative sports superstar..."

"Did I make that much money?" He responded casually.

"Yes, that's all."

"Are you asking how I spend it?"

"Oh yes yes..."

"Then let me tell you, pay taxes, invest, consume, and it will be gone."

"That's it, it's gone?"

"Yeah, almost 45% of the money has to be taxed, and the rest of the money I'm going to buy a 500-acre ranch in Brazil, and then go to England to buy a [-]-year-old castle, and I have to borrow money from the bank. "

"Two hundred million dollars just disappeared?"

Looking at Zhou Quan who walked into the restaurant, the reporter's mind was in chaos.

……

On October 10th, the two left Las Vegas with a large amount of luggage, and directly booked a medium-sized plane to pack all the luggage.

Arriving at Seattle Airport at [-]:[-] p.m., a large number of local media and fans are already waiting at the airport.

"Tekken, are you really going to buy a [-]-acre farm in Brazil?"

"Yes, I'm going to plant corn on the cob there."

"Iron Fist, are you really going to buy an English castle?"

"I thought about it. Those castles don't have sewers, and the smell is too strong. Why don't you buy something else in England, such as Red Devils?"

"Are you going to invest in English football?"

"If they're willing to sell."

The housekeeper, Ms. Maylan Wellington, came to the airport to pick them up with two security guards, and drove his Ferrari over. Zhou Quan handed over the luggage to them and took them back to the villa. He and Zeng Li drove the Ferrari and left the airport first.

"Ari, this is the canal from Lake Washington to the Pacific Ocean. Our sailboats and yachts can enter the Pacific Ocean from here."

While driving, Zhou Quan pointed to the canal beside the road and introduced.

Zeng Li looked around and saw a very wide field of vision. There were many sailboats on the canal, some parked by the river, and some sailed in the river, which seemed very leisurely.

"The scenery here is so beautiful." She admired.

"Well, yes, this is the most livable city in America." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

After driving for a while, the incomparably vast Lake Washington appeared in his sight, and he introduced: "That is Lake Washington, it is very big, and there are several parks along the lake."

Entering the one-way lane around the lake, Zhou Quan slowed down the car, drove for a while, and arrived at his villa.

"Ah Li, that's my private dock." He parked the car at the door and pointed to the lake.

Zeng Li turned his head and looked, and saw an almost transparent building on the lake, protruding 50 meters into the lake on the edge of the pier, leaning on two boats, one on each side, with a sailboat on the left and a yacht on the right.

"That's a multi-million dollar yacht?"

"Yes, it's called Iron Fist, and the sailboat is called Breaker! I'll take you up to play later, just play in the lake for a while, and we'll go to sea tomorrow."

Seeing his car coming, the security had already opened the gate.

Zeng Li has lived in Las Vegas for a month, and he is used to seeing luxurious scenes. Just now, he saw the multi-million dollar yacht. When he saw Zhou Quan's multi-million dollar villa, he was not too surprised. surprise.

"Although there are several Chinese in the family, they are all second- and third-generation immigrants. They don't speak Mandarin very well. You should learn to speak English with them."

Zhou Quan took her on a tour up and down, introduced the workers at home, and then settled her in the master bedroom.

"Aunt Lin, please send some snacks and tea to the pier."

After he told the cook, he took Zeng Li to the pier, which was his favorite place at home.

"We'll get on the boat after afternoon tea."

After a while, the cook brought snacks and tea, and after using them, Zhou Quan took Zeng Li to board the Iron Fist.

After getting on the yacht and entering the luxury cockpit, Zeng Li saw what is luxury and what is a sense of technology.

Zhou Quan activated the electronic system of the yacht, and the system first performed a self-inspection.

"The technological content of this thing is higher than that of American warships. In the United States, the rich are supreme, and civilian technology is very advanced." He said.

"It's for our self-defense. It's fine in the lake. It might be dangerous if it goes out to sea. There's one in the cockpit, and one in the bedroom."

He opened another hidden compartment, which actually contained two rifles and two pistols, more than a dozen large and small magazines, and a maritime telephone, which surprised Zeng Li.

He took Zeng Li up and down to participate. The yacht is more than [-] meters long and more than ten meters wide. The interior is a duplex structure. For two people, the space is very large. From the bedroom to the bar, etc., one should Fully equipped.

There was no problem after the self-check, Zhou Quan slowly drove the yacht away from the dock, and quickly increased the speed to [-] knots, accelerating very fast.

The maximum speed of this yacht is 59 knots, 110 kilometers per hour, which is considered fast among surface ships. Zhou Quan pulled the speed to 50 knots, and the huge yacht rushed forward like a sharp arrow.

"Ari, how do you feel?" he asked excitedly.

"Slow down, slow down!" Zeng Li said loudly with a pale face.

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Quan started to slow down, and he had to maintain a speed of [-] kilometers per hour for a long time. He had to go to the Pacific Ocean. He was not the only boat in this lake.

"Are you seasick?"

"A little bit, not very serious."

"Just play it a few more times."

After his boat slowed down, a luxury cruise ship approached in the distance. It was about the same type as him. If you saw the ship number of the other party, you would know who it was. It was the yacht of Sharkney Welsh, the president of a medium-sized Internet company. .

He rang the horn once, and he waved his hand to greet the other party, and Wales on the opposite side also waved to him with a smile on his face.

"Champion, you have to throw a party in Seattle to celebrate."

After the speed slowed down, the two boats moved closer together, with only a distance of ten meters between them. Welsh stepped out of the cockpit and shouted loudly against the side of the boat.

"Haha, okay, Shackney, you will receive my invitation." Zhou Quan also walked out and replied loudly.

Then he introduced Zeng Li, and Wales waved to Zeng Li, said hello, and then sped away.

After playing on the lake until evening, the two drove the boat back to the pier.

The butler, Maylan Wellington, had already transported the luggage back, and used several trucks to sort it out in the warehouse of the villa while counting.

"Ms. Wellington, please, I'm going to have a party the day after tomorrow. You can prepare it for me." Zhou Quan said to Wellington.

"Okay, sir."

"I'll give you the list."

"Yes."

"In addition, if the villa is short of staff, you can decide to hire two or three more people. Note that there must be no criminal records, and bad habits, including alcoholism, drug addiction, violence, and racial discrimination."

"Okay, sir."

"By the way, call the gas truck to come and help me fill up the yacht. I'm going to sea tomorrow."

"Already called, sir."

"Thank you!"

……

The next day, the Iron Fist went to sea.

When you come to the Pacific Ocean, you can be regarded as the dragon returning to the sea. Zhou Quan raised the speed of the Iron Fist to 50 knots and raced on the sea for an hour, which was enough.

Zeng Li looked a little pale, but there was no major problem. He was much better than yesterday, and his physique was still good.

On the 6th, Zhou Quan held a party in the villa, and invited his friends in Seattle to participate, as well as the supersonic teammates, management and coaching staff.

"Iron Fist, we are going to Washington tomorrow, are you ready?" At the party, head coach George Karl asked excitedly.

Zhou Quan smiled and said, "I have prepared a gift for the president, how about you?"

"Uh, the management team has prepared a gift, but I don't have one personally. But you should, after all, the president mainly invited you, and we just hitched a ride on you." George Karl laughed.

Then general manager Whithit introduced the situation of the lineup. There were no major changes. The main reason was that Jose Hawkins replaced Kendall Gill. In addition, the traded first-round rookie Alvin Johnson in 93 was traded back.

"Hawkins' offensive efficiency is higher. He was selected as an All-Star substitute in 91. He still has a certain strength now, which is better than Kendall Gill."

He handed Zhou Quan a list of lineups, but it was actually unnecessary. All the supersonic players attended his party today.

Centers: Almon Gilliam, Matt Geiger, Elvin Johnson.

Forward: Rodman, Detlef Schrempf, Steve Scheffler, Cheryl Ford.

Defenders: Joo Kwon, Jose Hodgins, Vincent Aschau, Nate McMillan, David Wingate.
