Chapter 253: Defeat Again (Ask for Recommendation Votes~)

The Lakers lost, and China was suspected of being affected by the "Twitter turmoil". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On May 9, an ESPN commentator posted a personal tweet that once again added a firewood to the "Twitter incident".

Chinese Hot Road, Gray. Jones, kind of coming at me! -- An ESPN reporter published an article.

Angry Chinese Hot! He made Gray. Jones be careful and dare to move Agary. Ranadave, he must be visiting in person! -- Yahoo Sports reporter published an article.

A war between football players and basketball players? No, no, no, it's much more than that! Actually, Ajiali. Ranadave is the key! -- A certain American gossip magazine "Tou Tou is the Way" wrote.

Suddenly, the matter became more and more noisy.

What is it and what is it? Tang Qian looked at all kinds of news on the Internet, all of which were adding fuel and vinegar, and there was no honest reporter at all! Is this also a characteristic of American imperialism? That's amazing!

"Hot, since you said and Agali. Ranadave only has one side, so you should stand up and make it clear, otherwise everything on the Internet will be chaotic, and there are even people who say that you are in a triangular relationship! "Matt. Barnes Road.

"How so? What I said, did one of those journalists honestly write about it? It's all! The darker it gets! Tang Qian also felt a little annoyed and said, because of this matter, Mike. Brown even went out of his way to ask him to play more focused and think less about things off the court. 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 journalist, I'm not an unscrupulous editor! Tang Qianyan said a little angrily when he heard this.

"That's fine." Matt. Barnes said, "Don't you know there's something called Twitter?" ”

"Twitter?" Tang Qian was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "American Weibo? ”

"American microblogging? What is that? "Matt. Barnes asked rhetorically.

"Oh, nothing." Tang Qian quickly diverted 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 the distraction here!" Matt. Barnes said: "When you want to update, you can change it yourself, and when you don't want to update, let the portable agent change, a matter of more than ten seconds." ”

"A portable agent? What's that? Tang Qian was stunned.

"It's a personal assistant who manages day-to-day affairs." Matt. "Unlike the famous signing agents, they work one-on-one with you, and once you get acquainted with them, you can work in place of the signing agent," Barnes said. After all, the commission of the well-known signing agent is very high, and the All-Star players are okay, they don't care about the little money, but for small players like us, it is a bit expensive. If you think about it, in addition to paying taxes, we also have to pay a hefty broker commission, how much money do we have left? And they're still stinky and fartful, except for big orders, they generally don't have time to take care of you! ”

Tang Qian nodded, don't think that the NBA can get as much as you can get if you sign a contract, in addition to the guarantee of the contract, there is also the issue of tax rates in various states. The first thing that must be paid is the U.S. federal tax, which is a new policy introduced in 2013 and levied on wealthy people and wealthy families with an annual income of more than $450,000. NBA players have basically exceeded this levy line, so the federal tax of up to 39.6% is not able to run. In addition, there is the state tax, and California has the highest state tax in the United States, as high as 13.3%. But there are some states that don't have a state tax on personal income, such as Texas. Take Kobe's $30.45 million season as an example, in the entire 13-14 season, he only played 6 games, and according to the details of the guaranteed contract, he can still get about 80% of his salary, which is $24.36 million. Many people think that this is Kobe Bryant's season contract income, and he can get $24.36 million after only 6 games, which is really scary.

But this is not the case, because Bryant also needs to pay 39.6% federal tax and 13.3% California state tax, the former is about 9.6 million US dollars, and the latter is about 3.2 million US dollars, adding up to 12.8 million US dollars. In this way, Kobe Bryant can only get 11.56 million US dollars in the 13-14 season. Wait, this is not the end, in fact, there is still 2%-4% of the agent's commission, and then there are some fragmentary "miscellaneous taxes" such as medical insurance, so that Kobe Bryant's actual contract salary in the 13-14 season is "only" more than 10 million US dollars.

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

In this way, there is room for the survival of "portable brokers".

Regular players hire them to save money because they are cheaper than signing agents. What about the big-name players? It's still hired, but unlike regular players, they hire "personal agents" not to save money, but to save time and effort. Why? Because of the famous agents in the NBA, they are very busy, and they have more than one NBA player under their name, and the big contract is fine, what small contracts, small advertisements, small activities, they are simply lazy, delay time, and can't get a few commissions, let alone any help and care in daily life. It's okay to look for it once or twice, but if you find too much, I'll just close the door for you to eat. So the "portable agent" came into being, they are a bit like the meaning of "personal nanny", helping the players "escort" and "taking care of chores" throughout the whole process every day.

Of course, the main thing is that the price is cheap, very cheap.

Many big-name NBA players have given this "fat shortage" to their playmates and fat small, because they can be trusted. As for ordinary players, it's just for cheap.

"So hot, you can hire a portable agent, cheap and easy to use, if you are a beauty, you can ...... Hey! Barnes said with a "you know" expression, and Tang Qian's eyes were blank.

On May 10th, U.S. time, today is the sixth game of the Lakers vs Nuggets playoffs, and the venue of the game is moved to the Pepsi Center in Denver.

In the afternoon, Gray. Jones once again posted a personal tweet: Chinese guys, if you have the ability, come to the Houston Texans to find me! I'll let you know the cost of talking nonsense!!

As if seeing that Tang Qian didn't open Twitter, Ajiali. Ranadave stepped up to help speak: Gray. Jones, are you bullying the scalding without Twitter? Really he is standing in front of you, and you dare to speak like that? I remember your bad luck!

Ajiali. Ranadave's Twitter once again pushed the "big war" to a higher level, and many American netizens left messages under her Twitter:

What's wrong? Listen to you, the two of them have already had a head-on conflict?

Who hangs more? Ask for an answer!

Idiot, can't you understand people's tweets? Apparently it's Gray. Jones has suffered!

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

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

When they landed, on Twitter, the comments surged, and the Twitter message area of the two was instantly exploded.

In the sixth game, Tang Qian was "covered by dark clouds" at the beginning, and was affected by the "heart demon", and his competitive state dropped by 30%.

It's as if something is an omen.

Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are nothing! I'm not just going to upset the Lakers tonight, I'm going to score more points than Kobe! -- Before the start of the game, Thai. Lawson said this in an interview with the Denver media.

Playing at home, there is this advantage, familiar stadiums, enthusiastic fans, and local media, so that the home team from the field to the field, are all advantageous.

It was a war that lost its suspense early, and the Nuggets exploded by 30 points in the first quarter, leading Los Angeles by as many as 10 points.

Great. Lawson also seems to be in order to fulfill his promise, with ferocious firepower, shooting 4 of 4 three-pointers, and cutting down the perfect data of 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter. beat Bryant's 10 points and 2 rebounds.

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

In the second quarter, the Lakers led the Nuggets by one point at 25-24 in the first quarter.

What was really scary was that in the third quarter, the Denver people scored 36 points, while the Lakers only scored 23 points. 68-90, the score difference became 22 points. It will cause this, and it has little to do with Kobe, he still has the firepower in the third quarter, shooting 5 of 8 and scoring 10 points in a single quarter. It's a pity that the Lakers continued to collectively dumb fire inside, Gasol shot 1 of 5 in a single quarter, Bynum shot 0 of 4, and the team's overall shooting rate was almost impossible to watch.

In the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant tried to fight back, but he couldn't open it inside. Carl began to wrap him up unscrupulously, which caused all of his shots to 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, beating Mike. Brown almost fainted.

Time is running out to see Mike. Brown had to pull off all of his main players, and five minutes before the end, the Los Angeles Lakers surrendered early. Tang Qian didn't get much playing time in this game, only 14 minutes and 39 seconds, and got 2 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block. The reason why there was so little playing time in the sixth game was that he did not perform well in the last game, and the second was that this game was very crucial. Brown took the initiative to increase Gasol's playing time. Therefore, the game time that Tang Potential gets is quite limited.

The more critical the game, the more the manager trusts the main players, and that's normal. But Gasol's performance tonight was disappointing, only 1 of 10 shots was made, and the comprehensive shooting rate was 10%. His total stats were, 3 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. It's really not playing at the true level of the Spaniards.

Although the shooting rate of the owner is also poor, only 36.4%, he grabbed 16 rebounds and fanned out 4 big hats, and his personal statistics are quite eye-catching.

At the post-game press conference, Kobe Bryant grimaced, and most of the questions were Mike. Brown was helping to answer.

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

Kobe Bryant looked at the reporter who asked the question, and said in a cold and cold voice:

“You.talking.to.me?”

“All.rubbish!”

After saying that, Kobe Bryant turned around and left the press conference.

PS: Lakers fans in the 2011-2012 playoffs still remember, in the crucial sixth game, Gasol really shot 1 out of 10, and the shooting rate was only 10%, which is surprising.

In fact, the detailed rules for NBA players to pay taxes are far more complicated than Xiaozi said, and there are home state taxes and away state taxes if you subdivide them, simply put, the home stadium is Toyota Center, so you don't pay state taxes, but you have to pay taxes when you go to Staples Center to play. However, away games are also played in tax-free states, such as teams from the same Texas, Spurs, Mavericks, except for games played in the arenas of the Grizzlies, Magic, and Heat, and there is no tax. Counting 82 games, if you are a Rockets player, you will have to pay about 33~34 away state taxes. Xiaozi said it to let everyone understand that many friends are a little confused when they see the NBA signing, so I mention it. Because the NBA is a very rigorous business league, this is definitely worth learning from our domestic basketball.
