Chapter 446 [Find a place to live, the favorite to win the championship]
Manhattan, the financial and commercial center of New York City. Wall Street at the southern end is home to many banks, exchanges, and big monopolies. Places of interest such as Broadway, Wall Street, the Empire State Building, Greenwich Village, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Opera, and more are concentrated here.
Zhou Xuan has plenty of time to find a place to live here and wait for the start of next season.
Because of the subprime mortgage crisis, U.S. housing prices have fallen, and New York is no exception. But housing prices in Manhattan are still staggering. Zhou Xuan originally wanted to buy a villa, but when he saw the market, he was really shocked. Finding a place to live here can often be challenging, when you're planning to go without robbing a bank.
Just yesterday, after 35 rounds of bidding, a mysterious Chinese businessman bought a luxury apartment of more than 500 square meters for more than $53,000 per square meter, a total of $33.2 million, the highest price for a Manhattan apartment since 2010. New York media also reported that a buyer from Chinese mainland also recently expressed interest in a single-family mansion at 1009 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York, and the only mansion on Fifth Avenue that is still available for sale. According to the online platform of luxury real estate in the United States, the single-family mansion was listed in January 2010, marking the highest price in Manhattan's history of $50 million.
So, it's not like you have the money to afford a villa in Manhattan. You have to have very, super unintelligible money, such as a lot of money and you don't dare to keep it in the bank, buried in the ground or stuffed under the bed at home and afraid of rotting Chinese......
In Auckland, you can buy a luxury house for $2.2 million, but here you can only buy a 120-square-meter house. In March, the median home price in Midtown Manhattan was more than $720,000, and Zhou Xuan, who was too small, was not interested.
What made Zhou Xuan collapse was that it was actually the Chinese who speculated the house price. Not only in New York, but also when the sales of new homes in Southern California came to a standstill, Chinese buyers also frequently intervened and became the local "bailout". According to a local brokerage company, most of the current Corona residential areas and Southern California hotel industries are Chinese. According to a report in early 2010, the proportion of "speculators" in the Chinese market exceeded 70%.
Some Chinese people have the disease of dying if they don't flip houses. It doesn't matter if you buy a "ghost town" house, you can wait for it to appreciate, or wait for it to become moldy, what a bubble psychology it is.
To be precise, the current market expectation that the US dollar will continue to appreciate is high, and some overseas investors will be interested in US real estate. There are also local observers who believe that due to the entry of overseas investors, the property market in hot spots such as New York may be at an inflection point. In areas like New York, the likelihood of redevelopment is low, and in New York, where only 30% of people own their own property, the likelihood of property preservation is still relatively high.
Emma also came to New York, and after seeing the market, she couldn't help but sigh: "Chinese are the richest." ”
"Just a tiny, tiny group of people." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
Most of them are families who have saved money for 30 years to make a down payment in a first-tier city, and since then they have happily been a house slave, and when the house is demolished, it will almost be repaid.
Emma asked, "So what are you going to do?" ”
"Rob (Downey) usually lives in New York, so I asked him what house he had nearby, and it was good to be a neighbor with him, so I won't buy it for the time being."
"Well, let's go back to Los Angeles first."
This trip to New York made Zhou Xuan have a strong desire to make money again. He didn't rush to communicate with his new teammates, and the Knicks were going to play on the road. They're definitely going to have a holiday in mid-April, so it's not too late to talk to D'Antoni then. Zhou Xuan doubts whether D'Antoni can work until next season, and now the Knicks' lineup is even more miserable, missing Curry, David Lee, and Chandler's three major scorers.
Within a week, most Chinese fans were discussing the news of Zhou Xuan's transfer, and even if he was injured, he still had a high degree of attention.
Some people analyze that if he goes to the Knicks, Zhou Xuan's data will decline after he returns from injury, and his popularity will definitely decline, and it will be difficult for him to enter the playoffs in the future. Most of the people who hold this argument are "Xuan Hei", continuing their usual attitude of hating people and not dying.
There are also some people who think that it doesn't matter which team they are in, the key is to be suitable for Zhou Xuan, so that he can play the maximum role, and then play super data. As long as he performs well, no matter what team uniform he wears, Zhou Xuan is the pride of Chinese basketball and even basketball in the world.
The only thing that isn't controversial is that everyone thinks the Knicks are much worse than the Warriors. They must get rid of the habit of being stupid and making money faster, and they must also have the spirit of hard work. The Knicks always feel like they don't fight, and a group of people mess around. It takes time to change the culture of the team.
Curry, David Lee joined the Warriors and expressed their love for the Warriors. They also played well, with David Lee making up for Randolph's injury absence and lack of inside attack. Curry has also been consistent, shooting well from the field and being enthusiastic. The Warriors have a solid record and remain in the playoffs.
It's not that playing for the Knicks makes you happy. As a rookie, Curry was also booed by fans a few times and was under a lot of pressure. It has become a tradition for Knicks fans to turn their back when they see the team falling behind. And David Lee has been with the Knicks for many years and has not played in the playoffs, let alone hit the championship, and he is very happy to be on a strong team. And he was going to go, so he signed a one-year contract, and the Warriors happened to be his first target.
The Knicks are not good, the starting lineup is all changed. Milicic finally got the opportunity to play, playing as the starting center, with Randolph Jr. as the big forward and Maddie, Gallinari and Douglas as the outside.
After Curry left, Douglas stepped up and Dujon became a backup. After the end of this season, the Knicks do not plan to keep Duhon, and Douglas will focus on training as Zhou Xuan's first bench.
The starting four did well, not only did they not go straight to the top pick in February, as they were suggested, but also won three games. The only thing that is dissatisfying is Maddie. The other four are all working hard defensively, only Maddie has a hippie smile, sleep-eyed sleepwalking on the field, and is used to seeing Wilson? Chandler's defending New York fans couldn't stand it. Maddie is embarrassed to encounter a "cancer" again.
Against the Grizzlies, Maddy shot 1-of-5 from the field and finished with 4 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 turnovers. The numbers don't say enough about his ability to drag his feet.
In 24 minutes of playing time, Maddy's efficiency value was minus 21, which means that when he was on the court, the Knicks lost by 21 points, and the defense dropped a level. In the previous three games, Maddy scored 6, 2 and 13 points, respectively. And in the game he missed, the Knicks had a brilliant victory, beating the Hawks in the playoffs.
To that end, the New York Post said: "The facts are clear, the Knicks played better without Maddie. ”
Looking at the league, the Lakers, Nuggets, and Spurs in the West have a leading record. The Knights of the East are all out of the dust. The call for James to win the regular season MVP is very high, and they have become the biggest favorites to win the championship.
Chinese fans are starting to focus on Yao Ming instead. The Cavaliers are too strong this year, and they also made a big trade in the middle of the game.
The Cavaliers wanted to get Jamison from the Wizards in the summer, and the Cavaliers and Wizards have always been old enemies in the East, and fans familiar with both teams know that the war of words between Stevenson and James caused an uproar. If the Wizards send Jamison to the Cavaliers, then the Cavaliers will be able to put out More, Williams, Anthony? With a luxurious lineup like Parker, James, Jamison and Yao Ming, as the Cavaliers' arch-rivals, the Wizards certainly don't want to make a wedding dress for their old enemies.
The reason why the Cavaliers took advantage of the fire to rob was that the Wizards staged a "three-shot surprise" on Christmas Eve!
Arenas and teammate Critanton once had a dispute over gambling debts, and the "general", who was worth 100 million yuan, refused to repay some gambling debts owed to Critanton, which caused the latter to be angry, and Critanton's approach also caused Arenas to be extremely dissatisfied, so the two started a farce in the locker room, and Arenas was exposed to pulling out a gun and pointing it at Critanton. During the subsequent investigation, Arenas was found to have stored three unloaded firearms in the locker room, and Arenas was not licensed to carry them.
Both were banned for 50 games afterwards, and this season is Arenas 6 years 1. In the second year of the $1.1 billion super contract, the salary is 16.2 million. The penalty is equal to Arenas' loss of revenue from the last 50 games of the season, which would amount to $7.36 million, breaking Artest's record of 7 million in Auburn Hills.
The Wizards can only start rebuilding, and it is imperative to send Jamison away in order to save money. So the Cavaliers will put center Ilgoskas, a future first-round pick, and 2009 second-round rookie small forward Emile? Pledzic's draft pick was sent to the Wizards.
As a third party, the Clippers will put small forward Al ? Thorton sent it to the Wizards and gave the Cavaliers some cash.
As for the Wizards, in addition to sending Jamison to the Cavaliers, do they need to bring in power forward Drew, who just traded for the Dallas Mavericks? Gooden sent to the Clippers.
The "Lone Light Master" changed teams seven times in two seasons, the Cavaliers, Bulls, Kings, Spurs, Mavericks, Wizards, and Clippers. A Guinness World Record was set.
All the Wizards valued was Ilgoskas' expiring contract, and a buyout was made soon after the trade. Big Z only needs to wait 30 days to return to the arms of the Cavaliers and hit the championship together. A lot of teams are interested in Big Z, but his choice is definitely the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers frantically put together four All-Star starters, and the depth of the roster completely overshadowed the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Chinese fans were all overjoyed, and this season Yao Ming was very close to the championship ring.
However, for this kind of behavior, the league powers have protested, Lakers coach Phil? Jackson, Celtics coach Doc Rivers and Magic coach Stan? Van Gundy has publicly expressed his displeasure, arguing that the league should introduce rules to prohibit such unfair practices.
There's one person who certainly wouldn't express any dissatisfaction with the league's rules, and that's Cavaliers head coach Mike? Brown. If the Cavaliers eventually succeed in signing back Big Z, it will be equivalent to trading a first-round pick for Jamison.
Is the Alliance about to officially usher in the era of the reign of the "Emperor"? A group of people were not convinced, because he also relied on the lineup and his teammates. But it can't be denied that the Cavaliers are really strong now. In front of them, the Celtics' Big Three are already floating clouds, and only the Super Lakers in the West can compete with them.
