Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 122 Mom and Dad (Two in One)

In addition to the Western All-Stars, the Eastern All-Star substitutes have also been released, which is very interesting.

Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Allan Houston, Glenn Robinson, Dikembe Mutombo, Jerry Stackhouse, and Dale Davis.

Wait, who is Dale Davis?

Don't you know?In fact, Wang Hao didn't know him either, and he didn't seem to have heard of this name.

This season, he averaged less than 10 points and less than 10 rebounds per game, which means the defense is not bad.

Seeing this, John Stockton cried and fainted in the toilet.

In fact, Reggie Miller did not perform very well this season, but he still made the All-Star.

There is also the big dog Glenn Robinson, who is so not seen by coaches and players, and has the opportunity to be an All-Star.

No way, there is really no one in the East.

Even Eddie Jones can become an All-Star starter, and there is nothing surprising about these people entering the All-Star.

It can be seen that John Stockton is a bad guy.

If he is in the Eastern Conference, let alone entering the All-Star, even if he becomes an All-Star starter, it is not impossible.

In addition, the slam dunk contest, the three-point contest, and a list of a series of competitions have all been released.

There is no Skills Challenge yet, so the most noteworthy ones are the Slam Dunk Contest and the Three-Point Contest.

In the three-point contest, as the three-point leader this season, Wang Hao will naturally not be absent.

In addition, all those participating in this season's three-point contest are well-known marksmen in the league.

For example, Ray Allen, Jeff Hornacek, Allan Houston, Allen Iverson, Nowitzki, Terry Porter, and Bob Sura.

Today's All-Stars don't have too many rules and particularities, anyone can really participate.

People like Iverson, Terry Porter, and Bob Sura, what are they doing in the three-point contest?Make up the number of people?

It's not that I have any opinions on Iverson. Iverson is indeed very good, but this does not include three-pointers.

Iverson's career three-point shooting percentage has just exceeded 30%.

Wang Hao did remember that, he almost broke the record of Gang Leader Qiao's three-point contest, and since then, he never dared to participate again.

Then there is the slam dunk contest, which is what Wang Hao cares most about.

Because Carter will compete in the slam dunk contest and embark on his brightest moment.

It's a pity that Wang Hao has yet to achieve his magical skills, so he can't compete with Carter, which makes people sigh!
Speaking of which, in today's slam dunk contest, no one really pays attention to it.

No way, the slam dunk contest is not just about smashing the ball into the basket. There are not a few NBA players who can do this.

In the NBA, there has never been a shortage of jumping men with explosive physical fitness, but it is not easy to dunk the ball and do it well.

Otherwise, the slam dunk contest would not have been suspended the year before last.

In addition to the two brothers Carter and McGrady, there are other players participating in this game.

Steve Francis, Ricky Davis, Jerry Stackhouse, and Larry Hughes.

In addition to the All-Star dust settled, there is also good news.

Nick Anderson finally has good news, he has successfully fooled (persuaded) You (convinced) Little Ma.

Penguin will accept financing from Ace Investment Company, US$200 million, in exchange for 40% of the equity.

To be honest, when he heard the news, Wang Hao was so excited that he couldn't sleep, as if he was hit by a penguin falling from the sky.

You know, this is a penguin!

If you become a major shareholder of Penguin and want to buy an NBA team in the future, shouldn't you just buy it casually?

Even, you can buy one and throw one away.

Wang Hao thinks he is very lucky, but in fact, Nick Anderson's job is very easy.

Because Penguin really needs this financing too much, it is already a medical emergency.

You know, in the original time and space, Penguin really begged grandpa to sue grandma in order to get financing from IDG.

Even so, IDG hesitated in various ways, and even brought in Xiangjiang Yingke to share the risk.

Not only that, for the 200 million US dollars, it took more than half a year, and Penguin finally got the money.

Now, just when the Penguins are in desperate need of funds, and IDG is hesitating in various ways, it naturally gave Nick Anderson the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Look, there are American companies and Americans coming forward. It's not easy just because of this card.

Not to mention, people give money so happily!
It has to be said that in this era, an American and an American company have quite a lot of cards.

Because the $900 million needed to be invested, in order to raise money for Penguin, Wang Hao simply took out a loan.

He used the contract signed with Nike as collateral, and directly loaned 100 million US dollars to Penguin.

As for the other 100 million US dollars, it is natural to wait until May, and then give it to Penguin.

As for Dawang Investment Company, with the arrival of February, they are already making preparations.

In fact, many people have raised the issue of the Internet bubble.

Don't think that Wall Street is all fools. No one really sees the risks, it's just that everyone doesn't want to believe it.

The entire market has fallen into madness, and all voices that run counter to each other will be drowned in the vast ocean.

Recently, the good news kept coming. At this time, the Sonics were in trouble.

In Game 2 in February, against the Bulls, Vernon Maxwell was injured.

And it is a thigh muscle strain, so the injury is very difficult to recover.

According to the team doctor, this kind of injury usually takes about 6 weeks before returning to the game.

Considering Vernon Maxwell's age, this time may be extended, perhaps 2 months.

This is definitely a blow to the Sonics.

Vernon Maxwell is currently averaging 12.8 points per game and is the scorer on the Sonics bench.

The offensive and defensive combination of him and Ruben Patterson can lead the bench lineup through the moment when the main force is lacking.

Injury at this time is definitely not a good thing for the Supersonics who need to maintain their record.

Sure enough, in the next game against the Spurs, the Sonics lost.

The substitute lineup scored a total of 13 points. Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult for the team to win.

Currently, Paul Westphal is trying to figure out a way, hoping to trade for strong players.

It's a pity that the boss replied with one sentence: internal excavation.

Of course, this is also a rare opportunity for substitute players, an opportunity to gain more time.

Whether it's Rashard Lewis, or Gerani McCoy, there's a chance to stand out.

After losing the game against the Spurs, the Sonics have dropped to third in the West.

Although it is third in the Western Conference, it is still third in the league.

No way, this year's Eastern Conference teams are basically not competitive, and it is difficult to deal with the strong Western Conference teams.

However, the competition between the top three in the Western Conference is extremely fierce, with no more than 2 wins between each other.

After the game on February 2, the Sonics had a record of 9 wins and 38 losses.

As for the Lakers, it is 37 wins and 11 losses, and the Trail Blazers are 38 wins and 12 losses.

Although the difference is not much, the Sonics still have a chance to regain the top spot, but it is difficult.

Compared with the other two teams, they are far behind in both background and lineup depth.

Today's Supersonics point to Wang Hao and Gary Payton. If they don't score 45 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists, it will be difficult for them to win.

If you encounter a strong team, you have to have teammates to stand up.

After the last game, the Sonics finally have a holiday, and the All-Star weekend is coming.

For five full days, the Sonics will be on vacation for three days, as long as they return to Seattle on the 3th.

Others can rest, but Wang Hao and Gary Payton can't. They still have to participate in the All-Star game of this competition.

The All-Star game doesn't just mean that you can participate in the game, there are also various activities.

After all, the ultimate goal of the All-Star is to promote the NBA, and interaction with fans is necessary.

In addition to the activities officially arranged by the NBA, under such high-profile circumstances, there will naturally be no lack of commercial activities.

The various brands endorsed will also come to the door at this time to attend various activities.

Taking other people's money, it is naturally impossible not to do things.

With almost no delay, Wang Hao flew directly from Dallas to San Francisco together with Gary Payton.

That's right, this year's All-Star is held in San Francisco, perhaps this is one of the reasons why Wang Hao can become the starter.

After all, San Francisco is one of the important Chinese settlements.

In fact, after Wang Hao was confirmed to be the starter, the tickets for the All-Star Game were greatly inflated.

You know, the Chinese are born hard-working, and they are even more diligent in their studies.

The political status of most Chinese is not high, but in terms of economic strength, they are still very good.

Now, when Chinese NBA players come over, they naturally want to support them, and it doesn't matter if they spend some money.

In fact, this can be seen from the Sonics' guest game in San Francisco. Many Chinese fans support Wang Hao.

The plane landed at the airport in San Francisco, but Wang Hao didn't leave in a hurry, but let Gary Payton go first.

He still has to wait, waiting for his parents to come.

As early as last year, Wang Hao asked his parents to come to the United States to play during the winter vacation.

However, the old couple delayed a lot of time, dragged on for half a month, and finally came to the United States.

In fact, as early as January, they wanted to come to the United States and spend a new year with Wang Hao.

But when I think about it, the whole family is gone, what will I do during the Chinese New Year?
It's Chinese New Year, do you want to pay homage to your ancestors?Do you want to create some New Year's atmosphere at home?

What's more, Huaxia is a society of human relationships. During the Chinese New Year, New Year's greetings are indispensable.

The ceremony in previous years is gone this year?
As for making an agreement with others in advance, it is not impossible to go to the United States to celebrate the New Year this year.

It's just that, it's inevitable that some narrow-minded people will have pink eyes, saying that their family is showing off on purpose.

When he heard his parents' doubts, Wang Hao was speechless. Are you two thinking too much?
In the end, the two decided to come to the United States after the Chinese New Year.

Not only them, but also domestic reporters and CCTV's live broadcast team will come to San Francisco.

"Dad, mom..."

Although he had rehearsed countless times in his mind, he kept reminding himself not to get too excited.

But when it really came to this time, that kind of emotion was still uncontrollable to vent.

Liu Mei also couldn't control her emotions: "Stinky boy, I have been out for more than a year, and I don't know how to go home and have a look!"

Hearing this lesson to the little kid, Wang Hao was a little unconscious, after all, his mental age is not young.

"Mom, you can't blame me, I'm busy playing games, how can I have time?
Besides, you two have such a long vacation, you and dad can come to see me anytime! "

"As long as you are busy, as long as you can?"

Wang Jianguo was a little excited, but as the pillar of the family affairs, he still had to maintain this posture.

"Okay, okay... how long has it been? It's just over a year, it's too exaggerated!"

Hearing this, Liu Mei was unhappy: "I don't know who it is, but it was dreaming in the middle of the night, and it still called my son's name."

Hearing this, Wang Jianguo blushed and said hastily, "I'm worried that this kid will cause trouble outside."

"Okay, so many people are watching, let's go back to the hotel first.

Mom, I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time, but I'm so hungry, I'll just have a meal first. "

Hearing this, Liu Mei really showed joy on her face: "Wait, I will show you a hand later!"

Wang Hao took his parents to find a good Chinese restaurant, and finally got the restaurant owner to agree to cook by himself.

For ordinary people, people would definitely disagree, after all, if there is a problem with eating, the restaurant might also be unlucky.

The owner of the restaurant is Chinese, and he saw that it was Wang Hao, so he agreed and even waived the meal fee.

"Wang Hao, if you play in the NBA, it is to bring glory to us Chinese, how can I still accept your money!

Eat whatever you want today, it’s my support for you, you must continue to play in the NBA. "

The boss's kindness is hard to turn down, so he can only agree.

However, Wang Hao also took a photo with the restaurant owner and gave him a signed jersey.

As for the fact that the restaurant owner later put all the contracts and signed jerseys in the restaurant to attract customers, that is another story.

After working for a long time, Wang Hao finally ate this long-lost meal, and he was very happy.

The American diet is like this, the most important thing is the convenience of eating, as for the taste, it is second.

Not to mention that compared with Chinese cuisine, what we pay attention to is full of color, flavor and taste, which is simply incomparable.

What's more, as an athlete, you can't simply satisfy your appetite, and sometimes you have to eat nutritious meals.

That taste is simply forcing Huaxia foodies to die!
