Chapter 952 Domestic promotion, the death of the men's basketball team

At the end of July, Tang Qian received a promotion request from AND7, and he will go to China for a 1-day and 6-night sneaker promotion.This is normal. As Tang Qian plays better and better in the NBA, his popularity is getting higher and higher, and the "ban" on him in China is almost completely lifted. Therefore, AND5 company chose this time to let Tang Qian return to China for the first time.

As a star, especially a star with a big contract, this matter is a responsibility and obligation that should be shouldered.People give you so many beautiful knives every year, it is impossible to just give it for nothing, you still have to do something.Besides, compared with Nike, the "dominant brand" in the United States, they have been very accommodating to Tang Qian. Basically, the publicity for him during the offseason is not intensive and frequent.

So it was Tang Qian's turn, and he would not be uncooperative.

Returning to China publicly for the first time, Tang Qian first prepared some gifts, and before he left, he was stopped by Taylor, who wanted to go back with him.This, well, should have happened anyway.After thinking about it for a while, Tang Qian nodded in agreement. Taylor also expressed his satisfaction with this attitude.

Because it was a publicly advertised itinerary, there were many people present. As soon as I got off the plane, I saw many fans of Tang Qian, shouting loudly in the airport hall.Tang Qian was waving and smiling all the way, and he didn't relax until he got into the car arranged by the event party, saying: "It's really not easy, this trip is much more tiring than before." Taylor said He said nonchalantly: "What is this? You are also a big star! When we participate in an event in the United States, there are always crowds of people? So, Tang, you have to get used to it sooner."

"By the way, how much money do you earn now?" Taylor suddenly thought of something and asked.

Taylor had never asked this question before, but now that she has changed her status, it is natural to ask it.

Tang Qian was startled, frowned and thought for a while, "I really haven't calculated this carefully. I have to look at the deposit to find out, but it should be quite a lot." "Is it enough for [-] million? Or I'll transfer it to you When Taylor said this, Tang Qian understood that it was a small grievance that he helped Taylor "block the knife" when he came to the United States.At least for now, it's just a small grievance.

His fame and popularity are already much greater than Bill Sagat's. In addition, the dividends for the first year's sneakers have not yet come out, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of money when it comes out.But there is still a gap between 1 million US dollars.

Especially after deducting the heavy tax in the United States, in fact, it will be reduced by half.

But back then, he only said who would earn 2 million US dollars first, and didn't say that he would save [-] million US dollars. Tang Qian believed that he could reach this goal in two years at most.This is really a feeling like a world away, [-] million US dollars, what a terrible number I used to think, a few million cash is a lot, but now, it has become a goal that can be achieved in a short period of time.

Even my father and mother have gradually gotten used to a life without worrying about food and clothing. These are changes accumulated day by day.

"No need, Taylor, I don't think it's a big deal now. You should know that although rugby football in the United States is watched by more people and its ratings are higher than basketball, but in terms of attracting money, they can't catch up with us. Globalization strategy, It is also far from the NBA, so I will solve this problem by myself." Hearing what Tang Qian said, Taylor couldn't help but teased a few words: "Yes, Tang, you will be calm in a few years. You are so 'dominant', you will probably go to heaven in the future."

"Uh, compared to others, I might be okay, but compared to you for making money, I'll forget it." Tang Qian was a little speechless in the face of Taylor, a little rich woman. He remembered that in 2013, she earned $3970 million. This year, it has soared to 6400 million US dollars. In the whole world, female singers are second only to Beyonce, who has attracted 1.15 million US dollars.Furthermore, this is far from Taylor's limit. In the future, this number will reach a terrifying several hundred million dollars! ! !It's not a soft sister currency! ! !So, if you compete with her for making money, forget it, Mr. Qiao is not her single enemy.

"Hey, shouldn't you be happy? If I can make money like this, our life pressure will be less." Taylor laughed.What life pressure, do you say this word is appropriate?I think it's luxury pressure, right?The word is more or less the same.But Tang Qian could only slander secretly, he was not stupid enough to say it directly, giving Taylor a reason to "run away".

The arrangement of activities is actually not complicated, that is, what ordinary stars do when they come to China, such as making an appearance at the flagship store for publicity, such as having a performance and interview at the gymnasium, such as participating in some public events and dinners, For example, organized fan meetings and so on.It seems that there is nothing, but the arrangement is very intensive, almost after participating in one place, and rushing to the next place without stopping.However, Tang Qian worked very hard in his first public activities in China, giving full play to the "spirit of a model worker", and devoted 100% of his energy every time.

This made Taylor a little "speechless". She held Tang Qian between an event and said, "Tang, it's wrong for you to do this. Human energy is limited. You can't devote yourself like this every time. After a long time, people can't stand it." "Taylor is an expert in this field. She became famous in her youth, and then there are various performances and activities. Therefore, she has far more experience in dealing with such intensive activities than Tang Qian, a "rookie".But Tang Qian took a breath, but shook his head and said: "For other places, I can use your method, but for my motherland and compatriot fans, I can't do this. Seriously, right?" Americans also attach great importance to their hometown, so when Tang Qian said this, Taylor could only nod and said, "That's right, but your hometown is not here. I haven't reached your hometown yet. .”

"No, I am not an ordinary player now. It may be difficult for you to understand the meaning of a basketball star or football star in our country. Therefore, I can't be vague on this boundary." Tang Qian finished: "I will take a break , Call me when you get there."

On the third day, Tang Qian arrived in Shanghai.

The publicity activities are still going on and on. This is really different from playing basketball and training. What consumes is not so much physical energy but energy and brainpower.Especially when faced with some "tricky" questions, Tang Qian must think clearly before answering, after all, many people are waiting for him to make a fool of himself.People have bad roots, and they all hope that those who become famous can be pushed to the end.

Coupled with the huge power of the current Internet trolls, it is difficult to explain and refute rumors if it is not easy to be "online".

So Tang Qian's brain is also running all the time.

After participating in these activities, Tang Qian went to a luxury hotel, because Yao Ming was the host to treat guests tonight.

Seeing this "giant" again, he became a bit fatter, completely out of touch with his image as an athlete.How should I put it, the image is that from Yao to Nvzhao.Well, it shouldn’t be difficult to experience it yourself, right?

It was not the first time for Taylor to meet Yao Ming, but every time she saw him, she still couldn't help being amazed, claiming how could there be such a tall person.

Yes, in front of Yao Ming, who is 226cm tall in bare feet and close to 229cm in shoes, Tang Qian was "shrunk" a lot at once, and the feeling of a "giant man" disappeared immediately.

"Not bad, you seem to be a lot stronger than last time I saw you. It should be like this. As an insider, you can't lose your meat." Yao Ming said enthusiastically when they met: "But don't be too fast. , You have to take into account the limit of your body, otherwise it will be counterproductive if you get injured.” Yao Ming is deeply touched by this, after all, he was forced to retire when he was still at the peak age, except for running at both ends of the country and abroad, the game never stops. In addition, he gained too much weight, which caused problems with his body, bones, and feet, and accelerated the end of his career.So what he said to Tang Qian was not just a polite way of saying it, but also a sincere suggestion.

He didn't want another star of hope to repeat his mistakes.

In this way, the domestic men's basketball team does not know when the next rise will be.

Tang Qian heard Yao Ming's good intentions, and said with a smile: "Well, I will pay attention, brother Yao, it seems that you have lost a lot of meat during this time. It seems that my sister-in-law has given you more food, right? "I'm fat, and I can't compare with you. By the way, what do you want to eat? Do you order it yourself?" Yao Ming put the menu in front of Tang Qian and said.

"I'm free. I'm doing nutrition and muscle building during this time, so I can't eat too many of these dishes." Tang Qian said, "Brother Yao, you can order whatever you want." Yao Ming directly gave the menu to Ye Li and said, "You and Taylor Order it, and choose what you want to eat." After finishing speaking, he began to discuss some serious matters with Tang Qian: "The matter of Yaotang Basketball School is already underway, and it is estimated that the first wave of students will start enrolling in August." Tang Qian nodded and said, "I've seen the basics, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's just the coaches and trainers. Can you upgrade it a little bit? It's best to just hire some NBA trainers."

"Xiao Tang, I know what you mean. Everything needs to be done well, but we also need to consider the age and level of these students. There are currently three classes, the elementary school class, the middle school class and the adult class. The three classes we The most important thing to invest in is the elementary school and middle school classes, because adults come to train again, in fact, they just feel the atmosphere. Primary and middle school students are the key points this time. For elementary and middle school students, please invite NBA professional trainers It’s a sledgehammer, but the effect is not as good as hiring some low-level trainers. They will also do systematic training for children at this developmental stage.”

Hearing this, Tang Qian knew that he still took it for granted, because as Yao Ming said, for children, it is not very useful to hire NBA-level trainers directly, and even NBA-level training Teachers, they are used to training NBA-level professional players, and many things are aimed at children, which is not as accurate as these people.

"So that's it, I've been taught, Brother Yao." Tang Qian said humbly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yao Ming is very good at being a man, and immediately said: "When I started playing professional basketball back then, I didn't know anything. If it weren't for the Yao team behind me to help me operate, I probably would have caused trouble. I have caused a lot of trouble. After all, I was once young~I understand~" I have to say that Yao Ming's EQ is really high. Tang Qian always feels very comfortable when talking to him, without any embarrassment or stagnation. Astringent feeling.

Of course Tang Qian didn't know that in the future, this man would become a leader in the domestic basketball world, so he was definitely not a fool with a "simple mind and well-developed limbs".

But also because of his joining, the basketball circle in this world is changing step by step.

Many things may have to be advanced.

This is a very private gathering, because apart from Yao Ming and Tang Qian, there are only Ye Li and Taylor, so some of the things said will not be too afraid of spreading.But even so, the voices of the two people still lowered their voices a little: "So Brother Yao, what do you mean, there will be great changes in the domestic basketball world in the future?"

"Yes, at that time, I hope you can let go of your prejudices and come back to help."

"The question is who is in charge? If it's another information manager, I guess it's still..."

"Don't worry, this time, he is definitely a knowledgeable person, but I can't tell you who it is." Yao Ming blinked his eyes and said: "But one thing is for sure, that is what you want, and it will definitely be accepted. Satisfied, the domestic men’s basketball team has been silent for so long, and there should be some changes.” Seeing Yao Ming’s words with such certainty, Tang Qian was also a little surprised, but he knew that Yao Ming was not a random person, so he nodded and said: “If you can Abolishing institutional contracts would at least be a step forward, and I would join in."

"Abolishing the entire system is not something that happens overnight. Many people even count on this for the rest of their lives. It can only be said that the nature of the mandatory contract within the system is cancelled, and it becomes a form of free choice for both parties. In this way, resistance and conflicts can be relatively reduced. to the minimum."

"It makes sense." Tang Qian said: "I really hope that someone who knows how to do it will come up."

"Yes, Xiao Tang." Yao Ming regained his tone at this time: "Okay, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, I will be the host today, and help you clean up the wind and clean up the dust. Come, come, let's eat."

I thought that Yao Ming's ascension to the original time and space happened in 2017, so Tang Qian's memory ended in September 2015, of course it is impossible to know.Including NBA Bosh's physical problems, he is not very clear.At least not knowing that Bosh will retire in 9 because of this issue.He is not that kind of prophet, so in many places, he cannot control or predict.

Just when everyone was half full, Yao Ming suddenly received a call. He was taken aback for a moment, then his expression became a little serious, and he said, "I see, calm down first, I'll be there later have a look."

"What's the matter? Brother Yao? What's the matter?" Tang Qian asked when he saw that Yao Ming's expression was a little off.

Yao Ming paused, as if he was thinking, but he finally said, "That's right, because we are preparing for the upcoming first Basketball World Cup, and now the men's basketball team is in Shanghai. Temporary special training at the training base." "So?" Tang Qian knew that the important thing was in the back, so he patiently waited for Yao Ming's answer.

"You also know that once our country starts to prepare for certain competitions, we will definitely hold some training in advance, such as exchange matches, friendly matches, three-nation and four-nation matches, in order to improve the state of the athletes, so that athletes can better and faster be able to devote themselves to the emotions of the competition. Tang Qian listened and nodded, because this is indeed a domestic "convention", whether it is basketball or football, it is the same, there is no difference.This exchange match, friendly match, warm-up match, the original intention is okay, but some "big officials" in the country often forget the purpose of this kind of competition because they want to save face, and focus on the main force instead of neglecting the reality of military training.In the end, it backfired, making this mode not have many positive effects at the moment, but a lot of negative effects.

"So what are they doing now? A closed friendly match?" Tang Qian asked.

"Yeah." Yao Ming said: "It's a confrontation with the Philippines, because the latter is also a participating country this year, so please come over to exchange and warm up the two sides. But... I heard that we had conflicts with them, and the scale of the fight became bigger and bigger. .”

"How far is it from here?" Tang Qian asked.

"It's not far, it shouldn't take 15 minutes by car." Yao Ming said.

"Then let's go now, Brother Yao."

"Are you going too?" Yao Ming was taken aback, he didn't expect that Tang Qian wanted to go too.

"I have never seen this kind of formal national team adult confrontation, and I want to go and see it to gain insight."

"You need this insight?" Yao Ming smiled wryly and shook his head, "Okay then, let's go and have a look together. I hope things don't make too much noise. Otherwise, we'll lose the game and lose again."

Lose and lose?Hearing this meaning, it seems that the national team was beaten badly, Tang Qian thought.

It wasn't until the four of them arrived that they looked at the score, and they were a little dumbfounded.

It was only in the third quarter, and unexpectedly, they were already behind by almost 35 points! ! !This is too exaggerated, right? ? ?

But if you know the strength of the national team during this period, you won't be so surprised.Last year, in the 2013 Men's Basketball Asian Championships, the men's basketball team lost to South Korea for the first time in 16 years, and then even "unprecedented" lost to the Baodao team.How much do you think you lost?Hey, 96-78, the loss was close to 20 points! ! !And when Yao Ming was there, the men's basketball team easily slaughtered the Baodao team with 60 points!What now?He was hanged and beaten instead!He was eliminated without any chance to compete in the top four in Asia!So in the men's basketball team in the past few years, the team's combat power has actually fallen to the lowest value in history!It's not surprising that they lost so much to the Philippines.

"Brother Yao, was there a time when you fought in the Philippines?" Tang Qian asked suddenly.

"I didn't even think about losing when I played against an Asian team." Yao Ming also couldn't believe it, because under his leadership, the Chinese men's basketball team has repeatedly ranked among the top eight teams in the world. Asian teams?When did you lose?
"I didn't expect it to degenerate to this extent. No wonder you can't win in the international arena!" Tang Qian sneered, then crossed his hands, put them on his chest, and watched quietly.

Judging from this half of the quarter, the problem of the men's basketball team is too obvious. Except for Yi Jianlian, there is no other strong point. Usually, the "wo liheng" is relatively strong, but when it comes to international confrontation, they are all sluggish. look alive.The hit rate is simply amazing, it's shocking.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Tang Qian wouldn't have thought that this was a big country's national team.

"How can such a team win the ball without a change of blood, bone, or soul?" Tang Qian said coldly while watching: "Look at those veteran players. , I have made no contribution at all. Young people are even more speechless, with a loose attitude, you see, he obviously didn't defend well, and he even talked back to Yi Jianlian, what a big temper."

Yao Ming shook his head when he saw this, not knowing what to say.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the men's basketball team has really reached the same level as the national football team.

How to say?It stinks.

It's really what Yao Ming just said, losing the game and losing the game.

In the fourth quarter, the men's basketball team obviously played more impatiently, especially after Yi Jianlian took a break, it was completely chaotic, and it was all random shooting and hitting!It can be seen that people are all angry!

At this time, after the No. 4 Jim Arabo of the Philippine team scored a dunk, he shouted loudly: "You can't! Tonight belongs to the Philippines! The future belongs to the Philippines! We are the leaders of Asian basketball!"
