NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 301 New endorsement!new challenge! (5k)

On the second day of the battle with the Knicks, the headlines in newspapers everywhere were all about the game between the Trail Blazers and the Knicks:

Anthony scored 39 points and 11 rebounds, hard to win!
Wang Zelin scored 31 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks to help the Blazers capture the Knicks and win four consecutive victories!

For a while, the Trail Blazers won four consecutive victories, temporarily surpassing the Spurs, Heat, and Timberwolves who had won three consecutive victories at the beginning of the game, and the news that their record ranking rose to the top of the league once again became a hot topic among all fans.

Wait, from time to time a husky is mixed in here...

The fact is, the Huskies, ah no, it is Kevin Love, the core of the Timberwolves team, who has shown unimaginable "dominance" since the start of the game.

In the first game against the Magic, Kevin Love played 41 minutes, 19 of 8 shots, 16 of 12 three-pointers, 31 of 17 free throws, and a large double-double with 120 points and 115 rebounds, helping the team beat the Magic [-]:[-].

In the second game against the Thunder, the Thunder team felt cold. The boss Durant only scored 11 points in 13 games. The last time Durant scored less than this value in a single game dates back to 671 days ago.

In contrast to the Timberwolves, the three main players Kevin Love, Nicolas Pekovic, and Ricky Rubio all got double-double data.

乐福24分12篮板、佩科维奇15分10篮板、西班牙金童卢比奥拿到14分10助攻，森林狼以100:81的19分绝对优势战胜雷霆。

The third opponent was the Knicks. Love and Kevin Martin scored 64 points and 18 rebounds together, beating the Knicks and winning three consecutive victories.

Far from the original!
In the fourth game, the Timberwolves' opponent was the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Timberwolves fans agree that this game is absolutely sure. After all, compared with the opponents in the first three games, the Cavaliers are at the bottom of the weak Eastern Conference.

The Timberwolves played one day later than the Blazers.

On the morning of November 11, when Timberwolves fans were full of joy and prepared to receive the news of the team's four-game winning streak, what they received was bad news.

Success is also happy, and failure is also happy.

On the night of the 7th, the core of the team, Kevin Love, made 20 of 8 shots, including 7 of 0 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throws.

Of course, the most important thing is that Cavaliers teammate, Ou Shenxian sits in charge.

Although 38.9 seconds before halftime, the Timberwolves chased the score to 92:93; even though Irving missed a layup, there were 1.9 seconds left...

However, Love seemed to be overwhelmed by Ou Shenxian's temperament, so he didn't choose two points, insisted on shooting three with the head, and the result was naturally a naked strike.

When Love missed his seventh and final three-pointer of the game, the Timberwolves lost to the Cavaliers 7-92. The three-game winning streak at the beginning of the dream was the end, and the Cavaliers also ended their previous two-game losing streak.

全场出战33分钟，投篮15投7中，三分球3投1中，砍下15分8篮板6助攻2盖帽1抢断……以及辣眼睛的9个失误准四双数据的凯里欧文，成为全场最佳。

Wang Zelin's villa.

The morning light came in through the gaps in the curtains, reflected on the floor, reflected on the bed, and just fell into Wang Zelin's eyes.

Taking a breath, he opened his eyes, and at this moment...

"Hmmmm~"

Lena snorted softly in her arms. The chill after the rain in the early morning in Portland made her move her body, and subconsciously leaned into Wang Zelin's arms again, just to seek some warmth.

"Hi~"

Hit baa~ This won't work.

Wang Zelin gently pulled out his arms, leaned over and kissed Lena's forehead, and then slowly sat up from the bed.

As usual, he stayed there for 3 to 5 minutes, found the slippers, and stood up. Wang Zelin immediately felt a slight pain in his waist and back, and he could not help but smile wryly.

Fortunately, I held back, there is still a back-to-back game on the 7th today. Just don't play the ball at night.

Alas, he didn't understand Brother Deng's happiness before, so he thought he understood it.

Now that he understood Brother Deng's happiness, he slowly began to regret it.

Fortunately, we are strong enough, otherwise we will be corrupted by the evil capitalism.

After drinking a large cup of cold water, he felt better. After Wang Zelin leaned over to cover Lena with the quilt, he went to the bathroom to wash up.

While going downstairs, he muttered: "What did you say that she will pack the breakfast in the future, but it turned out that I didn't do it myself."

One action is not the other!
Since you are in a capitalist society, you must do as the Romans do. Why do things you can do with money, why do it yourself.

After a phone call, in about 10 minutes, breakfast will be delivered to the door... Well, it is definitely not because Wang Zelin is not confident in his craftsmanship.

He picked up his phone and checked yesterday's game news.

After watching the game between the Timberwolves and the Cavaliers, he is still at a loss.

Why did Love choose to shoot three and not try to get two points at the last moment? Could it be that he thought that he could get the last hit after sacrificing 6 iron strikes.

play?

When the best judge of the game was selected, Wang Zelin couldn't help but feel sorry for Baxian Wang, who scored a double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds, and then looked at his 13-for-5 shooting percentage.

An insider actually hits such a hit rate...

Forget it, these two guys are just a pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes, both of them are very smart.

……

in the afternoon.

"Zering, there is good news."

A call from manager Zhou Yang.

"Is the money coming again?"

Wang Zelin laughed.

"...The guess is really accurate!" Zhou Yang was also happy, and then asked: "Does Volvo know?"

"What's the matter?"

Wang Zelin was at a loss.

However, he always felt that he had heard it somewhere, and it was a bit familiar.

Zhou Yang didn't hold back, and said directly: "It's the car company brand that Jeremy Lin endorses."

"Oh……"

Having said that, Wang Zelin immediately remembered.

Beginning on February 2012, 2, "Linsanity" swept the world at a viral speed. As the biggest beneficiary, Jeremy Lin's commercial value soared overnight.

According to the "New York Post" report, during those days, Jeremy Lin's agent Montgomery received more than 1000 emails expressing business contract intentions every day, and there were many endorsements worth millions of dollars.

According to the "Global Entrepreneur" report, although Volvo did not disclose the specific endorsement fee, Jeremy Lin's endorsement contract may reach 400 million meters in gold for two years.

This is the first personal endorsement contract signed by Jeremy Lin in the world after he became famous.

Such a contract is beyond the reach of many All-Star players who have played in the NBA for many years, and Jeremy Lin only used 7 games to reach a height that they could not match in their entire career.

Take the famous 58 spokesperson Chris Paul for comparison.

In the original time and space 2014 NBA total income ranking, Paul just ranked tenth on the list. His total income that year was 2270 million yuan, but 1870 million yuan of it came from salary, and only 400 million yuan was from endorsement contracts.

Such a comparison makes it clear how much sensation Linsanity has caused worldwide in the past 12 years?
People in the world always love to chase fame and fortune, not without reason.

"Don't they have Jeremy Lin? Why are you looking for me?" Wang Zelin was still at a loss.

"Volvo didn't expect that Jeremy Lin's position in the Mosaic team would become so embarrassing after only one year, and they only signed Jeremy Lin for two years. Once this season is over, they will need a new spokesperson."

"So they came after me."

"That's right, Volvo wants you to be their next global spokesperson. In 2011, the Volvo S60 was officially launched on the Tianchao market. They originally signed Jeremy Lin with this in mind. But now Jeremy Lin's strength has declined seriously. It just so happens that you appear again. Who is the better choice?"

Zhou Yang said excitedly.

"Sounds good."

Wang Zelin said happily.

Generally speaking, unlike domestic CBA stars, NBA stars are involved in many fields, such as the entertainment industry, the automobile industry, functions, beverages, and even real estate.

Relatively speaking, the endorsements of domestic stars are relatively single, and most of them are concentrated on sports brands, which also reflects that there is indeed a lot of room for improvement in the development of domestic basketball.

If many companies still held a wait-and-see attitude during the rookie season, then when Wang Zelin maintained a high-level performance in the second year, many world-renowned brands could not sit still.

Last year, he signed a lot of brands, but there were few first-line brands and top brands. Not long after the start of this year, he ushered in Volvo's global endorsement invitation, which was unprecedented.

This means that Wang Zelin's global influence is being valued.

Remember, in the 2014 ranking of the total income of NBA stars, Kobe and James ranked first and second, with 6450 million and 6110 million respectively.

It is even said that James' endorsement contract alone has reached 4200 million yuan, which is more than Ross and Durant, who ranks fourth with a total income of 3180 million yuan.

It should be noted that as of the 2013~2014 season, there are only 3000 people whose total annual income exceeds 6 million. James' income from the endorsement contract alone has made everyone desperate.

League No.1, it should be so!

Not only must the strength be the best in the league, but it must also be first-class in terms of attracting money.

Next, Wang Zelin only needs to prepare for the battle with peace of mind, and the specific discussion of Volvo's global endorsement will be handed over to Zhou Yang and his management team.

"Leina, breakfast is on the table. I'm going to report to the team. Remember to watch the game tonight."

He left a note on the living room, went out, locked the door, and Wang Zhilin drove straight to the city.

He picked up the phone and dialed an unfamiliar number: "Martha, miss me?"

A sweet voice quickly came from the other end of the phone: "Bah! A scumbag, call him a sweetheart when he's good, and become Martha after only one day."

"Ahem, aren't you the same? When you're good, you call him Dad, but if you don't see him for a day, you become a scumbag."

Wang Zelin laughed.

"..."

There was no sound on the other end of the phone.

At this time, on the other end, the owner of the call was lying on the bed, with a pair of slender jade legs kicking the quilt constantly.

Through a day's data inquiry, Martha Hunt had a preliminary understanding of the special meaning of the word "father" in the relationship between men and women in the Chinese dynasty.

As for how the two met, it had to be traced back to two days ago.

Martha Hunter from North Carolina, USA, has a sweet appearance, honey-colored skin and a healthy body. She debuted in 07 and has appeared in fashion magazines in various countries.

But until September 2012, Martha Hunter stepped into the international fashion week stage to seek new breakthroughs. According to the original trajectory of her modeling career, she will sign with Victoria's Secret in 9 and become a Victoria's Secret Angel supermodel.

As of the evening of November 2013, 11, Martha Hunter's life trajectory was the same as before. She hit it off with Taylor Swift at Madison Square in New York and initially became a pair of friends. The two also went to the scene to watch the game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the New York Knicks.

However, when another corner of life came, Martha Hunter and Wang Zelin met...

So ever!
One night, one five-star bed...

Perhaps, only the moonlight of that night secretly recorded all this.

As for why Wang Zelin recognized Martha Hunter, the future Victoria's Secret supermodel, at first sight.

Everything has to be thanked to the unknown grandma owner of Xiaopozhan "Music Private Collection". Since he discovered the traffic code on this 13th, he has posted several episodes of the Victoria's Secret Show in a row, which has caused him a lot of harm to this aspiring young man.

But then again, the few episodes that Taylor Swift sang were really strong, not only the songs were white, but also big and long.

……

After half an hour.

Wang Zelin drove into a villa in a community.

He doesn't just build houses in China, there are also several places in the United States.

Unexpectedly, the once inadvertent move actually ushered in an unexpected joy.

As soon as we met, Martha Hunter leaned over and kissed Wang Zelin on the face: "Wang, come on! I will go to the game tonight."

"Oh, just to watch the game?"

Wang Zelin said with his arms around Martha Hunter.

"How do you want to work hard? Dad~"

Martha Hunter pushed Wang Zelin down on the sofa.

"Call again!"

Wang Zelin closed his eyes, looking intoxicated...

Well, I just want to study how this leg grows so long...

"How do you want to cheer?"

Martha Hunter rubbed Wang Zelin's abdominal muscles with her hands, and said with a smile.

"Not this sentence."

Wang Zelin opened his eyes and shook his head.

"Oh..." Martha Hunter leaned over, and put her small cherry mouth close to Wang Zelin's ear, speaking softly and softly, "Dad~Dad! Dad~~Dad! Dad~~~Dad..."

"Sweetheart"

Wang Zelin smirked.

………………The Dividing Line of All Evil
At 8 pm on the 8th, the Trail Blazers ushered in the Pistons at home.

The Blazers, who have won four consecutive victories, are currently ranked No. [-] in the West, and also No. [-] in the league. The morale of the players is quite strong!
The Pistons are also not to be underestimated this season.

Playing against the Wizards in the first game of the season, all 5 starters scored in double figures, and got off to a good start at 113:102. Not long after the Pistons fans had a good time, they lost to the Grizzlies in the second game.

However, the Grizzlies can only be said to have narrowly won the entire game, and in the end it was the Pistons who defeated the Pistons 111:108 in overtime.

In the third game, the Celtics and the Pistons played a defensive battle at home and defeated the Celtics with a score of 87:77, giving the Celtics a three-game losing streak.

In the fourth game, he played against the Pacers, a ruthless player who just entered the Eastern Conference Finals last year.

As a result, the Pistons only lost 8 points after four quarters of fierce fighting.

Paul George, who scored 31 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals, became the biggest contributor to the Pacers' victory.

上个赛季，约什史密斯与老鹰队管理层之间矛盾不断，但他场均依旧能够收容出17.5分8.4个篮板4.2次助攻1.8次封盖，季后赛首场均可以得到17分7.5个篮板。

The Almighty Warrior is still Almighty!

In order for the team to rise, the Pistons management signed the former Eagle King Josh Smith with a four-year contract worth 4 million yuan in the summer trading market.

As an extra, Chris Paul, who is the league's No. 1870 point guard, and Dwyane Wade, the soul of the Heat, who is the league's top three shooting guard, have a salary of only [-] million yuan this season.

Josh Smith, with an average annual salary of 1350 million in four years, is already a pyramid-like existence in the league. Aldridge, who was selected as an All-Star for two times and has been the leader of the Blazers for several years, has an average annual salary of only 1300 million in his contract.

Josh Smith hasn't even been to the All-Stars!

In addition, the Pistons management also made an excellent deal so far.

That is to allow Chauncey Billups, a former champion hero and one of the only three FMVPs in team history, to return to the Motor City at the end of his career and put on the No. 1 jersey again.

Whether it's to win people's hearts or want Puth to impart some experience to young people, the Pistons management's move has been well received by many players in the league.

Anyway, the price is only 500 million yuan in two years. Firstly, Mr. Key is welcomed back; secondly, the locker room has a veteran who can hold the scene;

Properly serve multiple purposes.

Although in the first four games of the new season, the Pistons had a record of two wins and two losses, ranking only in the middle of the West, but the team as a whole showed a thriving trend.

Because they lost in two games, the opponents were all first-class players in the league, and they all lost by a few points.

When playing against weak teams like the Wizards and Celtics, they are still pretty sure.

Therefore, the Pistons players in the Pistons management have the idea of ​​​​looking forward to the playoffs again.

In this game against the Trail Blazers, the Pistons can either say they attach importance to it or they don't.

The reason for not paying attention to it is that the strengths displayed by the two sides are very different after all.

Looking back at the first four games of the Trail Blazers, except for the Phoenix Suns, the remaining Houston Mosaics, Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks were all strong teams in the playoffs last season.

However, the Trail Blazers still won a complete victory!
Losing to such a team, the Pistons coach thinks it is normal and completely acceptable.

As for why it is important?

The reasons are similar to those mentioned above.

The Blazers are certainly strong, but the Pistons are not too weak, so the latter set their goal this season to return to the playoffs.

If a team wants to complete the reconstruction, a winning culture is indispensable.

Once you lose too much, get used to it, lose for too long...

At that time, even if this team has so many high-quality potential stocks, it will be difficult to lead the team to rise again.

The typical representative is the Huskies in the future.

Therefore, the current mentality of all the Pistons is very good:
Don't say victory, think about defeat first!

Specifically, it is: the battles won must be won, and the battles that cannot be won must be fought with all their strength, and they must show their attitude of wanting to make progress.

No, Andre Drummond, the new core of the Pistons who just came to Portland, has already begun to think about how to show the Trail Blazers No. 36 the results of his hard training over the summer in the next game.

My challenging heart never stops beating.

……

Inside a villa in Portland.

Wang Zelin never thought that one day he would be missed by a man, but even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.

After all, Wang Zelin, who was a liberal arts student in his previous life, has never forgotten Mr. Lu Xun's words: "One must have the courage to challenge one's own weakness!"

　Shock!
　　A writer who hit the streets just released a new female supporting role, but it's not Taylor Swift, the resident heroine of the basketball novel.

　　Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality...

　　Well, the above are all written by the schizophrenic writer, and the text below is the text.

　　The main text is: There are too many basketball articles about Taylor being the heroine or an important female supporting role, so I made a feint in the last chapter, and actually made a Martha Hunt.

　　Interested LSPs can take a look at the 15 Victoria’s Secret show, it’s free and super clear!

　　PS: Although I still think the 13-year-old is the most classic. . .
