Chapter 261 Defeated again (please recommend tickets~)

The Lakers lost, and China Hot is suspected to be affected by the "Twitter storm".

On May 5, an ESPN commentator posted a personal tweet, adding a firewood to the "twitter incident" again.

China Hot Road, Gray Jones, something is coming at me! — ESPN reporter published an article.

Angry China hot!He told Gray Jones to be careful, if he dared to touch Ajiali Ranadive, he would definitely visit her in person! — Yahoo Sports reporter published an article.

A war between football players and basketball players?No, no, it's far more than that simple!In fact, Ajiali Ranadive is the key! ——A certain American gossip magazine wrote in "Straightforward".

Suddenly, this matter became more and more serious.

What is this and what?Tang Qian looked at all kinds of news on the Internet, all of which were embellished, and there was not a single reporter who told the truth!Is this also a feature of the US Emperor?Really great!

"Tang, since you said that you only met Ajiali Ranadive once, then you should stand up and make it clear, otherwise everything will be messed up on the Internet, and there are many people who say that you are in a triangle relationship!" Ma T. Barnes Road.

"How to say? Did any of those reporters honestly write what I said? It's all nonsense! The more you describe, the darker it is!" Tang Qian also felt a little annoyed, because of this matter, Mike Brown even deliberately I've been looking for him, let him focus on playing, and think less about off-court things.It made Tang Qian very depressed.

"It's very simple, just stand up and say it yourself." Matt Barnes suggested.

"Say it yourself? What do you say? I'm not a reporter or an unscrupulous editor!" Tang Qian said angrily when he heard the words.

"That's fine too." Matt Barnes said, "Don't you know there is a thing called Twitter?"

"Twitter?" Tang Qian was taken aback, and blurted out, "American Weibo?"

"American Weibo? What is that?" Matt Barnes asked back.

"Oh, it's nothing." Tang Qian quickly changed the topic and said, "But I think it's easy to get distracted when you open this kind of thing, isn't it, Matt?"

"What's so distracting!" Matt Barnes said, "When you want to update, you can update it yourself, and when you don't want to update it, you can ask your personal agent to update it. It only takes ten seconds."

"Personal agent? What is that?" Tang Qian asked in a daze.

"It's just a personal assistant who manages daily affairs." Matt Barnes said: "Unlike the famous signing agents, they provide one-on-one service with you, and they can replace the signing agent after getting familiar with it. After all, there are Famous signing agents have high fees. All-star players are okay. They don’t care about the little money, but for small players like us, it’s a bit expensive. Think about it, in addition to paying taxes, you have to pay extra The exorbitant brokerage commission, how much money do we have left? And they are so stinky, except for big orders, they generally have no time to talk to you!"

Tang Qian nodded, don't think that the NBA can get as much money as the contract signed. In addition to the guarantee of the contract, there is also the tax rate of each state.The first thing that must be paid is the US federal tax, up to 39.6%. This is a new policy introduced in 2013, which is levied on wealthy people and wealthy families with an annual income of more than 45 US dollars. NBA players basically exceed this collection line, so the federal tax of up to 39.6% cannot escape.In addition, it is the state tax. California is the place with the highest state tax in the United States, as high as 13.3%.But there are also some states that do not have personal income state taxes, such as Texas.Take Kobe's $3045 million season as an example. In the entire 13-14 season, he only played 6 games. According to the guarantee contract details, he can still get about 80% of his salary, which is $2436 million.Many people think that this is Kobe's season contract income. It is really scary to get $6 million after only playing 2436 games.

But the actual situation is not the case, because Kobe still needs to pay 39.6% federal tax and 13.3% California state tax. The former is about 960 million US dollars, and the latter is about 320 million US dollars, which adds up to 1280 million US dollars.In this way, Kobe can only get 13 million US dollars in the 14-1156 season.Wait, this is not over yet. In fact, there are still 2%-4% of the agent's commission, and then there are some piecemeal "miscellaneous taxes" such as medical insurance. In this way, Kobe actually got the contract in the 13-14 season The salary is "only" more than 1000 million US dollars.

In order to save money, many ordinary NBA players do not hire an agent, but negotiate with the team management in person.

In this way, there is a living space for "portable brokers".

Regular players hire them to save money because they are cheaper than signing agents.What about big players?They still hire, but unlike ordinary players, they hire "portable agents" not to save money, but to save time and effort.why?Because of the famous NBA agents, they are very busy, and they have more than one NBA player under their name. The big contract is okay, but small contracts, small advertisements, small activities, they are simply too lazy to do anything, waste time, and can't get much money. commission, not to mention any help and care in daily life.It’s okay to search once or twice, but if you search too much, I’ll just shut you down.So "portable agents" came into being. They are a bit like "personal nanny", helping players "escort" and "care about chores" throughout the day.

Of course, the most important thing is that the price is cheap, very cheap.

Many big-name NBA players have given up this "fat vacancy" to their playmates and childhood friends because they are trustworthy.As for ordinary players, it's purely for cheap.

"So it's hot, just hire a personal agent, it's cheap and easy to use, and if it's a beautiful woman, it can be... hehe!" Barnes said with a "you understand" expression, making Tang Qian roll his eyes .

On May 5th, US time, today is the sixth game of the Lakers VS Nuggets playoffs. The venue of the game will be moved to the Pepsi Center in Denver.

In the afternoon, Gray Jones once again tweeted: Chinaman, come to the Houston Texans to find me if you have the skills!I will let you know the price of nonsense! ! !
As if seeing that Tang Qian didn't open Twitter, Ajiali Ranadive stepped forward to help speak: Gray Jones, are you bullying Hot and don't have Twitter?He is really standing in front of you, how dare you speak like that?I remember how unlucky you were that day!
Ajiali Ranadive's Twitter once again pushed the "war" to a higher level. Many American netizens left messages under her Twitter:
What's wrong?From what you're saying, have the two of them had a head-on conflict?

Who hangs more?Ask for an answer!

Idiot, can't you understand people's Twitter?Obviously, Gray Jones suffered a disadvantage!

But how is this possible?Gray Jones is a muscular monster, and he has been aggressive since he was a child. I have never heard of him suffering anything!

How do I know this?Anyway, that's what people say.

Immediately, there was a surge of comments on twitter, and the two twitter comment areas were blown up in an instant.

In the sixth game, Tang Qian was "covered by dark clouds" from the very beginning, and was affected by "inner demons", and his competitive state dropped by 30%.

This seemed to foretell something.

Kobe and the Lakers are nothing!Not only will I overturn the Lakers tonight, but I will score more points than Kobe! ——Before the start of the game, Ty Lawson said so wildly in an interview with the Denver media.

Playing at home has this advantage. Familiar stadiums, enthusiastic fans, and local media give the home team an advantage both on and off the field.

This was a war that lost its suspense early. The Nuggets scored 30 points in the first quarter, leading Los Angeles by as much as 10 points.

泰.劳森似乎也为了兑现诺言，火力凶猛，三分球4投4中，单节就砍下了15分3个篮板2个助攻的完美数据。力压了科比的10分2个篮板。

In the second quarter, Kobe continued his firepower and scored 9 points, while Lawson only scored 4 points.

In the second quarter, the Lakers scored 25-24 in a single quarter, leading the Nuggets by one point.

The really scary thing was in the third quarter, when the Denver scored 36 points, while the Lakers only scored 23 points. 68-90, the score difference immediately became 22 points.It has nothing to do with Kobe. He still has firepower in the third quarter, making 8 of 5 shots and scoring 10 points in a single quarter.It's a pity that the Lakers continued to misfire on the inside. Gasol made 5 of 1 shots in a single quarter, Bynum made 4 of 0 shots, and the team's overall shooting rate was almost unwatchable.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe wanted to fight back hard, but he couldn't open the inside line. George Karl began to double-team him unscrupulously. This made all his shots miss the basket, and none of them hit the Nuggets' basket.On the offensive end, Gasol and Bynum were in a slump at the same time, playing Mike Brown almost fainted.

Seeing that time was running out, Mike Brown had to replace all the main players. Five minutes before the end of the game, the Los Angeles Lakers surrendered early.Tang Qian didn't get much playing time in this game, only 5 minutes and 14 seconds, and got 39 points, 2 rebounds and 6 block.The reason why he played so little in the sixth game was that he performed poorly in the last game, and the second was that this game was crucial. Mike Brown arbitrarily increased Gasol's playing time.Therefore, the game time that Tang Qiang can get is quite limited.

The more critical the game, the more the head coach trusts the main players, which is normal.But Gasol's performance tonight was disappointing. He made only 10 out of 1 shots, with a combined shooting percentage of 10%.His total data is 3 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.This is really not the true level of the Spaniard.

Although Anzhu's shooting percentage was also not good, only 36.4%, but he grabbed 16 rebounds and slapped 4 big blocks at the same time. Personal statistics, on the contrary, are quite impressive.

At the post-match press conference, Kobe looked livid, and most of the questions were answered by Mike Brown.

"Bryant, what do you think is the reason why the Lakers went from a 3-1 situation to a 3-3 tiebreaker? Can the Lakers advance to the next round of the series?" A reporter stood up and asked Kobe road.

Kobe looked at the questioning reporter, and said in a cold and harsh voice:

"You.talking.to.me?"

"All. rubbish!"

After speaking, Kobe turned and left the press conference.

PS: Lakers fans in the 2011-2012 playoffs still remember that in the crucial sixth game, Gasol really made 10 of 1 shots, and his shooting percentage was only 10%, which is surprising.

In fact, the details of tax payment for NBA players are far more complicated than what Xiaozi said. If you break it down, there are home state tax and away game state tax. If you play games at the Taples Center, you have to pay taxes.However, away games are also played in tax-free states. For example, the same Texas team, the Spurs and Mavericks, except for games played in the arenas of the Grizzlies, Magic and Heat, do not need to pay taxes.Counting 82 games, if you are a Rockets player, you have to pay state taxes for about 33 to 34 away games.Xiao Zi said it to let everyone understand that many friends are a little confused when watching NBA signings, so I mention it here.Because the NBA is a very rigorous business league, this is definitely worth learning from our domestic basketball.
