The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"He shines in New Orleans tonight, let's remember his name, Whiteside!"

……

Media reports were overwhelming, and Whiteside's triple-double performance coupled with Tang Tian's post-match press conference made him stand out.

Fans are also talking about it on social media.

"Davis's injury is not a loss. When he comes back, the inside line of the Pelicans will become a nightmare for all opponents!"

"Centers are treasures in the era of small balls. The Pelicans definitely found a treasure, and it's so cheap!"

"Hassan, Harden, this is Ha Crazy Second!"

……

Counting this block triple-double is not the first time for Whiteside.

The reason why there was such a big response this time was because the target was the Clippers.

The Clippers ranked fourth in the fiercely competitive Western Conference this season. They are a real championship team, which is completely different from the big teams like the Heat before.

The triple-double block before was suspected of brushing, but this time there is no water at all!

Chapter 6 and Seven: Christmas Gift Season [-] (Second update!)

Winning the Clippers greatly boosted the morale of the Pelicans.

Coupled with a good schedule, they got a record of 5 wins and 1 loss in the subsequent games.

Before Christmas, their record was finally fixed at 22 wins and 6 losses, ranking second in the West after the Warriors.

In the absence of Davis, they can still get this record, and the Pelicans are doing well.

Time unknowingly came to Christmas Eve.

Unlike last year, the Pelicans are a member of the Christmas game this year, and they will usher in a game against the Rockets on Christmas Day.

The Clippers performed poorly after losing to the Pelicans. The Rockets seized the opportunity to catch up. A wave of 6 consecutive victories has reached the fourth position in the West.

It is interesting to see who can win the game between the two teams that have been doing well recently.

Christmas is approaching, all teams have entered the offseason, and the Pelicans have only arranged daily training, which will last until two days before Christmas.

The team didn't arrange training that day, but Tang Tian got a piece of good news.

A signature version of his "Godfather Generation" sneaker has been produced.

There can be several versions of a generation of sneakers. For example, the one released during the offseason is the basic version of a series of sneakers, that is, the series of sneakers with Tang Tian’s name on them.

And after that, there will usually be two versions, one is Tang Tian autographed on the sneakers, which is precious and rare.

The other is the signature version of the sneakers that will be released now. Tang Tian's signature will be printed on the shoes through technology during production.

The price of this kind of shoes will be more expensive than shoes without signatures, which will further stimulate the sneaker market.

This kind of sneakers has not been officially released yet, but Tang Tian harvested a whole truckload of shoes at the entrance of his villa.

The sales of the previous basic version of sneakers have exploded. Nike must seize the opportunity to promote the signature version.

Looking at the cart of signed sneakers, Tang Tian smiled wryly and shook his head.

He remembered that when he endorsed Dior sunglasses, the carload of glasses he had harvested hadn't been delivered yet.

Fortunately, the collection value of sneakers is great, and there is no harm in having more.

Nike posted a video when delivering the sneakers, and the public relations soon posted marketing articles on major channel websites.

While the fans are envious, they are already guarding the platform, waiting to snap up this wave of signature sneakers.

Nike's marketing activities have attracted a lot of attention from the outside world, and the response has been very good.

At this time, BMW, another big brand endorsed by Tang Tian, ​​couldn't sit still.

Their headquarters sent someone over to discuss what kind of car to give Tang Tian.

A million-level luxury car is the starting point. If you want to achieve marketing effects, the more you invest, the more effective it will be.

During the discussion between the two parties, Tang Tian had a very good idea.

The time has come to December 12 unknowingly, and there are only two days left before Christmas.

Williams scheduled the Pelicans' final practice session before the holiday.

At the end of the training session, the players returned to the locker room, and everyone began to exchange Christmas gifts.

Holiday spent a lot of money this year and gave each of his teammates an Apple laptop worth $3000, which is also the most expensive in the team.

Counting his annual salary over ten million, he and Gordon are the only ones in the team who can afford it.

The gifts of other teammates also have their own characteristics, but Whiteside's gift made the players laugh.

When he was giving gifts, he carried out a big box, which aroused curiosity and whistles from his teammates.

But when the box was opened and Whiteside brought out the gift, laughter covered everything.

That turned out to be a box of Donald Duck toys!

This is probably the most amazing Christmas gift anyone has ever seen!

Because this thing was delivered completely without thinking!

Even Whiteside himself can't say why, he just thinks this thing is fun.

"Hassan, you are too stingy!"

Ci Shiping held Donald Duck's gift box and laughed and complained.

This thing is only twenty or thirty dollars at most.

"No, it's very different."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

He knew Whiteside's current economic situation, and it would be nice to be able to give a gift.

Tang Tian spoke, and the other teammates followed suit.

Ci Shiping also laughed, Tang Tian's words were correct, and this approach was also very Whiteside.

The presents of the teammates had all been delivered one after another, so Tang Tian called the team members to the parking lot at this time.

Newcomers like Ariza, Jokic, and Dinwiddie don't know what to do.

But the eyes of most players last season were full of expectations.

Last season, Tang Tianhao spent a lot of money to give a sports car with a car model, which is still vivid in their minds.

The most anticipated is Whiteside, who only joined the team in the second half of last season.

Hearing his teammates talk about the glorious timing of Tang Tian giving away the sports car for most of the season, he didn't participate in it, and he was full of envy.

This year he finally had the chance.

Tang Tian took his teammates to the parking lot.

There were a couple of camera crews there, and then there were a couple of super big vans.

The team members whispered to each other, full of curiosity.

The photographers are already in place, and the door of the truck is slowly raised.

When the team members saw what was inside, their eyes widened.

Because of the experience of giving away a sports car last year, even if it was the same supercar inside, they probably would not have a particularly big reaction.

But the things inside still made them want to cheer.

Because it is a motorcycle, a BMW motorcycle!

Streamlined body, domineering appearance, direct vision of the torrent of steel!

The status of BMW motorcycles in the motorcycle industry is equivalent to the Lamborghini of the automobile industry!

And it's still the K1600B model, which is equivalent to the best Lamborghini!

Not to mention the value, this is a very good collection!

This was also discussed by Tang Tian with the BMW staff before, giving him a luxury car, no matter how expensive it is, the publicity will be limited, but this is different now.

The thing about him giving his teammate a sports car last year was private, and there were gossip, but it was limited to rumors.

But now that a photographer is hired, spending thousands of dollars to give gifts to his teammates, reporting this kind of thing openly is the best publicity and marketing.

The car was unloaded from the truck by the staff, and the teammates couldn't help but get started.

At this moment, Dinwiddie let out a cry of excitement.

Because on the side of the car, he found Tang Tian's first-generation sneakers hanging!

And it's the signed and printed version that Nike has just announced, but it hasn't been officially released yet!

There are many NBA players who like to collect sneakers, PJ Tucker and Mike Bibby are the representatives.

Dinwiddie was one of them, and he was more excited to see the sneakers than the car.

In fact, not only him, other players were also very excited when they saw the sneakers.

They became the first people to get the sneakers, before the official Nike release!

BMW motorcycles are valuable, but these sneakers are now priceless!

6+[-] chapters Pelicans' forwards! (two in one)

A K1600B BMW motorcycle, plus a pair of sneakers that have not yet been officially released.

Although the value of Tang Tian's Christmas gift this year is not as exaggerated as last year's, it is even more meaningful.

For the players of the Pelicans, this gift is priceless.

Whiteside looked extremely excited, it was the first time he had received such an expensive gift.

"Guys, there's a gift in the trunk of the car, but it's best to look at it later when you get back."

Tang Tian smiled and said to his teammates.

These words were a bit mysterious, and all the team members listened to them.

After listening to it, Whiteside couldn't wait to open the trunk when the photographer over there finished his work.

After seeing what was inside, his face turned slightly red.

That is the contact information of the most luxurious private club in New Orleans. It is said that there are many top car models in it.

And more importantly, it also said that Bao Tangtian's name can be called for one night for free!

I heard from other team members that last season Tang Tian also gave car models in addition to cars.

This year, because it is helping BMW to do publicity, it is definitely inappropriate for such things as car models to appear.

But Tang Tian still gave it away!

It's just that the teammates need to make a phone call by themselves!

Whiteside is not Davis, he is not so innocent.

After his teammates pulled the car back one after another, he called directly, made an appointment for a Lebanese car model, and then rushed home.

Tonight, he no longer has to stay alone in an empty room!

Two days later, the Pelicans boarded a plane to Houston, where they will play the Rockets on Christmas Day.

The Rockets are now ranked fourth in the East. Although they failed to win Anthony in the summer, the combination of Harden + Parsons + Bosh is still very competitive.

Harden averaged 27.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game this season. All statistics are career highs. He is also one of the most popular candidates for MVP this season.

Bosh averaged 21.3 points and 7 rebounds per game. Although the rebounds have not changed much, his scoring is also a new high since the Heat period.
