The invincible kryptonite of basketball

During the two-day rest period, Tang Tian had no travel plans, because he was going to participate in the All-Star Game, and he also needed to recharge his batteries for these two days.

This can be regarded as his only two days of rest throughout the season.

Lying in the rental house, looking at the green riverside pedestrian street outside the window, and then checking Twitter and news, such days are very rare for him.

At this moment, he discovered something that was expected, but still made him laugh.

A few days ago, the 68th Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

The popular movie star Scarlett Johansson appeared on the red carpet wearing Elie.Saab2011 spring and summer dress.

The light pink tone brings out the pure side of "Black Widow", and the low-cut shape makes the twin peaks looming.

"Must add chicken legs to the stylist!"

"I'm fine, how about you?"

……

This sparked a flurry of discussions among fans on Twitter.

In the heated discussions, Kevin Durant's comments almost instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Scarlett, I want to drink your bath water."

Durant didn't use the trumpet, and Durant sent the message directly with a large account, and attached Johnson's red carpet photo!

It is not uncommon for NBA stars to like movie stars, but Durant is definitely the No.

The tweet quickly became popular and made headlines on the front pages of entertainment media such as TMZ.

Scarlett didn't win the Global Awards, but it was because Durant's tweet quickly became the focus of attention.

And Durant's tweets against Tang Tian made a lot of noise before, and now this "bath water" is coming, which can be called a big Twitter traffic.

And the result is the same, Durant's Twitter has been sprayed by many people, but this time the momentum is much more fierce than before.

Who is Scarlett?Just participated in "The Avengers", the new Black Widow, the most popular newcomer in the Marvel universe!

Durant's way of showing love made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

"There is no limit! This is the most disgusting way of showing love I have ever seen!"

"Disgusting! Why don't you lie down and wait in the sewer of Scarlett's bathroom!"

"This is really terrible. Your words make me feel what a shameless person you are, and you have no image as a public figure!"

……

Durant didn't show any weakness when he saw the comments, and directly drove the tuba to fight with these people.

"What I like to say is my business, not your business, loser!"

"I'm such a direct person, if you don't like me, get off my twitter!"

"Brother, are you envious of my money? That's right, I'm richer than you, and much more!"

……

Durant's approach is still very direct and passionate.

It's just that this time he is obviously at a disadvantage, because the number of movie fans is much larger than that of fans.

In the end, Durant saw that the momentum was wrong, so he had to turn on the comment settings and banned all comments with bath water, so that the situation could be considered under control.

The situation is under control for the time being, but we are at a disadvantage in the mutual confrontation. It can be foreseen that Durant's All-Star journey will not start so smoothly.

Two days later, Tang Tian and Parker flew from San Antonio to Orlando together.

Parker had a sneaker promotion, and Tang Tian separated from him when he arrived in Orlando.

He was not idle either, and when he arrived in Orlando, he contacted Thompson, Walker and Irving, the four hard-working brothers during the offseason, and met at a local restaurant together.

The four of them have all finished the first half of their rookie season, and their situations are completely different.

Tang Tian won the best player of the month in January, and has averaged 1+ points per game so far. The Spurs' record ranks first in the Western Conference, making him the most comfortable of the four.

Irving leads the rookies, averaging 19.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, which is also the best among the four.

It's just that the Cavaliers are now ranked third from the bottom in the East, and it's not a good thing to lose all the time.

Thompson is relatively poorer among the four, with an average of 12+ points per game, which is not bad among rookies, but it is much worse than Tang Tian and Irving.

Moreover, the Warriors ranked third from the bottom in the Western Conference, which has nothing to do with Thompson's claim of "making the playoffs" at the end of the offseason.

Of course, Thompson is not the worst, the worst is Walker.

The data of 17.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game is also second only to Irving in the East, but his Bobcats set a 23-game losing streak at the beginning of the game, the third in history.

The team has only won 3 wins so far, which is really a tragic word in capital letters.

"You know what? That Gerald Henderson on our team, he shoots like Michael Jordan."

Walker started talking non-stop as soon as he sat down.

"and then?"

"Then? It's gone!"

"..."

"Don, do you know a guy named BJ Mullens? He loves shooting threes just like you, but he only hits like 20% of them!

The next second you pass the ball to him, you can hear the sound of 'bang'! "

"And that French guy, Boris Diaw, that guy takes coffee breaks every day! He doesn't feel like he's here to compete, but to enjoy life in the NBA!"

Listening to Walker's constant complaints, Tang Tian couldn't help laughing out loud. It seems that Walker was really a little bit aggrieved staying in Bobcats.

But this is completely normal, Walker's heart is already very high.

After winning the championship at Kangda together with Tang Tian, ​​he had the ambition to break out in the NBA.

As a result, the current team is losing every night, and he must have held these words in his heart for a long time.

"Kemba, you'll be fine."

Tang Tian comforted him, saying that he didn't want Walker to stay on a team like the Bobcats.

But it's only a rookie year, so it's definitely not appropriate to say those words, on the contrary, some words of encouragement are necessary.

Walker nodded, and he just complained when he met a few brothers together.

He still remembers what Tang Tian said to the NCAA back then, and it really helped him a lot in adjusting his mentality.

"Kemba, let me take you to the nightclub at night. The nightclub atmosphere in Orlando is very good." Thompson continued.

"No, I don't like it there." Walker refused directly.

Tang Tian glanced at the two of them. It seemed that Thompson was still hanging around nightclubs, and Walker was probably still a baby.

For more than half a year, they have experienced a completely different life from the university, but some things seem to have not changed.

"Actually, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game, Don, we can play together again." Walker said with a smile for the first time.

ps: Thank you for the heart-warming reward of the first tear

Chapter 198 New endorsement (4/5) (Revised)

"Yes, we are going to be rivals again." Owen said while looking at Walker and Tang Tian.

This year's rookie game system is different from the past. Just a few days ago, Charles Barkley and "Shark" O'Neal completed their respective team selections.

Team Chuck Barkley: Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, DeMarcus Cousins, Gordon Hayward, Paul George, Derrick Williams, MarShon Brooks, John Wall, Derek Favors, Evan Turner.

Shaq O'Neal Team: Blake Griffin, Jeremy Lin, Ricky Rubio, Markieff Morris, Greg Monroe, Landry Fields, Tang Tian, ​​Kemba Walker, Brenton Knight and Tristan Thompson.

In other words, Tang Tian and Walker will become teammates for the first time on the court after graduating from college.

More coincidentally, Owen and Thompson were on the same team, and they were opponents with Tang Tian.

During the offseason, they played the second team and second team many times, and both Irving and Thompson lost. This time they played the whole game and did not know what the final result would be.

"We'll win."

Thompson is Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death. The more he fights, the braver he is. Now he started talking to Tang Tian again.

From the strength of the two teams purely on paper, the Barkley team is obviously stronger than the O'Neal team.

Wall and Irving in charge are Walker and Rubio.

Hayward, George Zhi, Tang Tian and Fields on the front line.

Inside Cousins, Favors and Monroe, Thompson.

The rookie game is an exhibition game, and talent determines the outcome.

"No, we win."

Walker replied, and he was very serious.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Tang Tian couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

Thompson has always wanted to win himself once, Walker has lost too many games and is no longer picky about the nature of the game. The crazy thing is to win.

It seems that tomorrow's game will be a little different from the previous rookie games.

Although the All-Star Games are performances, the players are people. If a few people are serious, they will directly increase the intensity of the game.

The four brothers went out for a walk after dinner, and then separated from each other.

Thompson took Irving to the nightclub, and Walker was going to participate in a sneaker event at UA night.

Tang Tian originally planned to go around Orlando to see if there was anything interesting. After all, this is one of the most famous tourist cities in the United States.

However, this plan was interrupted by a phone call from Fagan. A shower gel brand wanted to find him as an endorsement and let him become the brand's global spokesperson.

Since the performance of the season has improved steadily, the number of brands seeking Tang Tian's endorsement has also continued to increase. At this time, it is not surprising to have one more.

But this brand is very interesting. When they contacted Fei Gen, they said that they must have a face-to-face meeting with Tang Tian.

Tang Tian asked about the name of this brand, which is called burts.bees, which translates to the meaning of little bees.

Tang Tian seems to still have a little impression. In his previous life, he found it in his leisure time. It seemed that it was the third or fourth shower gel brand in the United States.

However, I asked Feigen about the status quo of this brand, but it was not the same as what he remembered. This brand is still only a small second-tier brand.

This made Tang Tian more interested. Endorsing an unremarkable brand became a blockbuster, not only in terms of income, but also psychologically.

I asked about the starting price of the other party, which was 1 million US dollars a year. For a second-tier brand, this endorsement fee is really costly.

"See." Tang Tian gave Fagen an affirmative answer.

In the last game against the Timberwolves, he scored the first 30+ points in his career, breaking his career scoring record in a single game.

But in fact, he himself is very clear that there are actually differences in the performance of the first half and the second half.

上半场7中4拿了14分，下半场11中5拿了16分，虽然得分多了，但效率明显下降很多。

It is normal for others to see ups and downs in performance, but he himself knows very well that the change in efficiency is more a matter of physical strength.

From a substitute to a starter, his playing time will definitely increase, and even playing 40 minutes of games is not without it, which will require a lot of his physical fitness.

The talent of the yellow race has an upper limit. At this time, he needs a skill that can enhance his physical strength.

Before he signed a contract with Nike, the krypton gold value was more than 140 million, and if the salary accumulation was counted, it was close to 150 million.

If you sign this endorsement again, you can get more than 50 yuan after deducting taxes and Feigen's commission, and if you add it up, it will be more than 200 million yuan.

Then you can directly krypton gold to get a blue skill.

And among the blue skills, there is something he needs, so signing an endorsement contract at this time is also a very necessary choice.

After changing clothes at the hotel, at a coffee shop in Orlando, Tang Tian met someone from this brand, the company's vice president and sales director.

This company is really small, and it really values ​​this endorsement.

The vice president is a young man in his 30s, named Winslow, who looks like a son of a son, and he should be the son of some investor.

The sales director is a middle-aged man of more than 50 years, but unlike the average American fat uncle, he is very thin and looks tired. It seems that the work pressure is not small.

This kind of configuration is quite common and normal in small American companies.
