Chapter 576 Lively All-Stars, Tragic Zhuang Shen

Arriving in Little Orleans, Qin Yang took his teammates to practice.

James Harden, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant are in good spirits. Harden was injured some time ago. Although he participated in the game this time, it was soy sauce.

Stephen Curry's sudden emergence this season has caused a shock in the league.

Except for Qin Yang, no one else in the league can shoot three-pointers like Curry.

And judging from the scene, Curry's three-pointer looks much better than Qin Yang's.

Qin Yang's three-pointers are often not fast enough, but he takes advantage of the poor rhythm, the space advantage in running positions and screens, and the height advantage to make shots.

This shot seems to be very simple.

Many of Stephen Curry's shots are difficult three-pointers.

Use your own fake moves to find a little space, and then force a shot under the defense of the defensive player, almost getting blocked every time.

This kind of thrilling goal can attract people.

Therefore, Curry's fans increased faster than Qin Yang's.

Qin Yang also received other news from Williams, for example, the league doesn't want Qin Yang to be too famous, so that it would take away the host's role.

After all, the NBA is the NBA of the United States. Even if it is a commercial league, it is necessary to distinguish between the primary and the secondary.

For this reason, the league has promoted many newcomers.

This seems to be normal, and many players will slowly come out every year, but in this way, Qin Yang's attention will be much less, and his reputation will not be so great.

Qin Yang is not in a hurry. Now that Qin Yang has received the honor he deserves, the next step is to enjoy basketball and enjoy the victory.

Other honors will come naturally when the time comes.

After a little training, Qin Yang took the players and called other familiar players to go to the high-end club together.

The so-called high-end clubs are not messy things.

This place is similar to a high-end hotel, a collection of various entertainment and accommodation, suitable for relaxing and resting.

After arriving here, the group went out in twos and threes.

Those who play poker play poker, and those who play snooker also... There are even some karaoke together.

Well, there are many singers in the NBA. Although most of their songs are unknown, they are not as famous as others.

Qin Yang was bored, so he found a room by himself, drank fruit juice and watched TV.

Kevin Durant sat on the sofa with Qin Yang.

Next to it was Al Jefferson.

The TV show was very boring. If it wasn't for Qin Yang's request, the two would never watch it, because the TV show was about finance and economics.

After watching it for more than ten minutes, Al Jefferson couldn't stand it anymore:
"Bruce, let's go play two-handed poker, this show is so boring, I don't understand it at all."

Qin Yang shrugged:

"You can go if you want, but I suggest that you better take a look, otherwise you may go bankrupt not long after you retire."

"Why? I'm a multi-millionaire now."

Al Jefferson was visibly unconvinced.

Qin Yang smiled and said, "Ayer, in fact, more than one-third of NBA players went bankrupt shortly after retiring, especially some players with extremely high salaries, and those players with a basic salary lived well after retiring. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because they know how to manage money!" Kevin Durant answered Qin Yang with a smile.

Qin Yang nodded. Kevin Durant has done a very good job in this regard. There are very few active players in the league who are good at financial management.

According to Qin Yang's knowledge, James is one of the best.

In addition, Iguodala, Kevin Durant and others are also good, and Qin Yang is a rising star with a very special way of managing money.

"Al, a player's NBA career is actually very short. Even a superstar has a limited salary. More money needs to be obtained through commercial means. The most common way is to sign an endorsement contract. In addition to making money."

"For example, you know that the farm I bought, although only half a year old, has earned me more than my investment."

When Qin Yang said this, Al Jefferson and Kevin Durant were very envious.

Being a Chinese has benefited Qin Yang too much.

The impact on commercial value and other aspects is too amazing.

Having established his own sneaker company and bought his own big farm, Qin Yang's investment is very stable and he cannot get rich suddenly, but the income is very high.

Michael Jordan's income from sneakers is still one or two billion dollars a year so far.

This kind of commercial value, looking around the world, few people can achieve it.

Durant drank the juice and his eyes lit up:

"I think what Bruce said is very reasonable. I also invested in two small companies in Los Angeles, and the ones in Silicon Valley, but unfortunately they all went bankrupt."

Durant also has this idea, but it's a pity that the company he chose is not reliable.

Qin Yang and Durant watched it with gusto, while Al Jefferson watched it for a while and left feeling bored.

When the show ended, Kevin Durant whispered:

"Bruce, do you want to win the championship together?"

……

On February 2th, the All-Star Rookie Challenge began.

The rookie challenge continues the previous changes. The team is led by two stars, each chooses a player, and finally decides on two lineups.

The first and second grades mix and match, and the competitiveness of the competition has increased a lot.

This year as coaches are Grant Hill and Chris Webber.

These two used to be Jordan's successors. When they first entered the league, their performances were very explosive. Unfortunately, due to injuries, their performances were not satisfactory.

Grant Hill has recovered in recent seasons and can still enter the main lineup.Chris Webber is injured.

Final lineup:
Hill: Lillard, Bradley Beal, Andre De La Monte, Harrison Barnes, Terrence Jones, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jonas Valanciunas, Dion Waiters and Pero Antic.

Team Webb: Davis, McAway, Hardaway Jr., Trey Burke, Jared Sullinger, Mason Plumlee, Steven Adams, Kelly Olynyk.

Grant Hill chose to use Lillard as the core.

Lillard has been very mature and sophisticated in the past two seasons, and his connection with the NBA is perfect, without the discomfort of a rookie.

This season, Lillard's performance is getting better and better.

Anthony Davis, as the No. [-] pick, performed as people expected. The new generation of super insiders in the NBA has arrived.

This rookie game was as intense as expected.

But there are always some people who are unexpected.

Anthony Davis played very well, capable of both inside and outside, Lillard is extremely sophisticated, but the most brilliant player in this game was Drummond Green.

This player who was a substitute for the Pistons scored 30 points and 25 rebounds in the Rookie Challenge, helped the team win and won the Rookie Challenge championship.

Both Lillard and Anthony Davis came away empty-handed.

But embarrassingly, no one got the trophy in the end.

Because Draymond Green has not yet won the Rookie of the Year trophy, the trophy fell to the ground and shattered in half.
