March 10, pre-match press conference. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This pre-match press conference, which is generally different from the post-match press conference, is not something that must be held, but as some popular teams and seeded teams, it is usually used to increase the exposure of the team and players. After all, NBA athletes are still different from entertainment stars, and their exposure is inherently weaker.

It is reasonable to use some "official means" to increase exposure.

But no one thought that the protagonist who came up today was not Kobe, not Nash, not Howard, not even Gasol, but the young Eastern No. 29. As soon as the Lakers came out, the reporter's long gun and short cannon greeted him, and kept asking: "Excuse me, did you really sign a sky-high endorsement contract with AND1?" ”

"Excuse me...... hot"

"You don't have to be in a hurry, I'll answer your questions one by one later, so please let the players sit down first." Seeing the surging momentum of reporters and media people, the press officer of the Lakers immediately stood up and escorted the road.

Since this game was played at home against the Bulls, the local media still gave the Lakers press officers face, stepped back, and then waited for the former to announce the start of the press conference.

"Hot~ It seems that they are not good~ You have to be careful~" The Spaniard sat next to Tang Qian and teased in a low voice, but he didn't expect that the development of the plot behind was completely beyond his expectations.

Even if you call it "out of control", there is nothing wrong with it.

From the very beginning, most of the people in this press conference came to the Lakers No. 29.

"Excuse me, it is rumored that you signed a sky-high endorsement contract with AND1 for 2 years and 30 million US dollars, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, the rumors are not a problem." Tang Qian replied briefly.

"Do you think you deserve the amount of this contract? You must know that Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, he is now only 1500~16 million US dollars a year for sneaker endorsement fees? This question was not asked by ESPN's reporters, but by local media in Los Angeles, and it can be seen that the emergence of the "sneaker endorsement incident" made Tang Qian unprovoked many people.

Some Kobe Bryant fans even complained on the Internet, why did their idol have been in the league for more than ten years, but they were approached by a fledgling substitute player in the sneaker endorsement fee? What is this thing called? What honor does he have on the 29th, and does he deserve to get this value of endorsement fees?

This is called "irrational secret", they can't see any wind and grass, but anything that threatens the "lofty status" of idols will definitely be indiscriminate, and they will lose it first. This seems to be defending their idols and holding grievances for their idols to suffer injustice, but they don't know that this is "harming" your idols, making many neutral "passers-by fans" feel speechless, irritable, and even disgusted, so that they simply "turn black". Tang Qian had asked a lot of "Huhei" and "Kehei" about this matter before, why do you want to be a "black fan"? Is it true that you don't like the Lakers and don't like No. 24? The answer was unexpected.

A considerable number of "Lake Black" and "Kohei" said that in fact, they are far from disgusted with the Lakers and Kobe, and even some people used to be at the level of "passers-by". It's just that they were annoyed by some "irrational secrets", "extreme secrets" and "brainless secrets", so they "turned to black" and became a "lake black" and "branch black".

In short, what they mean is that I didn't hate the Lakers or Kobe Bryant at the beginning, I just hated their "secrets", so I "loved the house and the black", and finally became a "sunspot". Tang Qian came from the era after Kobe Bryant's Achilles tendon was torn, and the "glass heart" was more serious in that era, so he can also understand a little bit of this "idol maintenance" emotion. A god-level figure in the Chinese entertainment industry, his brother Zhang Guorong once publicly said this problem, in the 1989 TV program "No Defense Tonight", he talked about the friction between his fans and Tan Yonglin fans, the original text is as follows:

I think that's it, my fans also have scolding, but if you look at it this way, people scold your idol first, and you go to the scene to cheer your idol, so when your idol is scolded, you fight back, that's right. Some people say it's fans scolding each other, but you have to see who started first. When I was scolded first for no reason, and my fans didn't fight back, should I acquiesce?

And in another way, if people don't offend me, I don't offend people.

You offended me first, should I still be a turtle with a shrunken head? It's okay to be a woman like that, but what about a man? It's hard to estimate.

So as long as it's not "too radical and dense", then Tang Qian still has the patience to resolve it.

However, this patience is limited to the Lakers.

There's no other reason than because he's a Laker now.

So he was prepared for this situation, and blurted out when he opened his mouth: "It's not that my endorsement fee is too high, but Kobe's endorsement fee is too small." Nike is so a player in the top 10 of all time, and thankfully I didn't join them! Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to afford to eat! Tang Qian's words are a pun, with two meanings, one is to answer the reporter's question just now, and at the same time to resolve the contradiction between himself and Kobe Bryant's fans, and the other is ...... It was he who was extremely unhappy and unhappy about Nike's "contempt" for himself, so he took this opportunity to come out and vent.

But as soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere at the scene became more lively, and a reporter immediately continued to ask: "What do you think of ESPN's view?" Henry. Abbott declared that he would sell his ADN1 shares immediately so that he would not lose all his money in the future. Tang Qian opened his mouth and replied, "Do you know what I say?" Buy more ADN1 stock now! Because in the future, if you want to buy again, the price has increased tenfold compared to now, and you have inadvertently lost a chance to make a fortune in life. ”

Hearing such opposing remarks, the reporters below became more and more energetic, and looking at Tang Qian's gaze, they were much more "tolerant" than at the beginning.

Because they all know that the most indispensable thing in this industry is the topic, the news, and the buying point.

And the answer of this Oriental just now invisibly satisfies these three elements.

"Are you so sure you can bring AND1 back to life? I did a survey, the brand of AND1 is now in the twilight, year after year, what gives you such a strong self-confidence? ”

Tang Qian said: "Because I have confidence in my own future, I also believe that the vision of the top management of AND1 is not short-sighted. ”

"I've heard that there's some unpleasantness between you and Nike, right?"

Tang Qian said: "It's not unpleasant, it's just that Nike and Adi didn't mean to sign me, so I can only retreat, right?" You can't let yourself starve to death, can you? AND1 is full of sincerity, and of course I am very impressed. ”

"But I heard that Nike signed you with Converse? Isn't it a bit of a reversal of black and white and a deliberate gimmick when you say that? This time it was an ESPN reporter, Tang Qian saw his press card, and immediately said with a cold face: "Converse? It's just a sub-brand of Nike now, do you think it's the seventies and eighties? For example, if you are invited to dinner, I invite you to drink Lafite and I invite you to drink Coke, can this mood be the same? ”

"Hot, I think you're probably still in it for money, right? If AND1 doesn't give you so much money, will you go and join them? What if Converse offered you the same price? Is it about to turn back? The question asked by the ESPN reporter was quite "vicious", as if he wanted to confirm the image of Tang Qian's "money worshipper" player. However, Tang Qian was not a chick, so he said: "What you said is good, in our China, there is a saying that you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and you are talking about people like you." Say I'm not in it for the money? Isn't this nonsense? If it's not for money, what sneaker endorsement will I sign? If you don't get a dime as a reporter in ESPN, then you're entitled to count me down, otherwise, everyone works to make money, what's the difference between us? Oh, the only difference may be that my income in one year is enough for you to earn for a lifetime. ”

"Also, you may not know us Chinese very well, good horses do not eat back grass, this is basic, not to mention that Converse is now sending the same contract to me, even if Nike comes in person and matches it personally, that's the same." Benevolent, righteous, courteous, and frugal, these ten words, you go home and ponder carefully, this is our Chinese philosophy of life. ”

Tang Qian's words are a bit "arrogant", and the subtext means that the old . If you only sign a top brand, and if you take a sub-brand to sign me, it will already insult me and make me angry. And I'm angry, the consequences are serious, you can't get my heart back! The ESPN reporter, who was stunned by Tang Qian's reasoning, was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses and asked reluctantly: "Hot, don't say too absolutely, Carter and Kobe didn't choose Nike first, but what happened later?" Haven't you entered Nike's house yet? But there's an essential difference between the first loyalty and the second loyalty, you can see what I mean, right? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Kobe Bryant, who was sitting on the side, looked a little unsightly, because Nike's "not salty and not light" to him has always been a knot in his heart, but who called himself immature when he was young. After that incident, Adi forced himself to terminate the contract, and then forced to sign a new shoe contract for a whole year due to the terms of the signing at that time, so Nike finally took advantage of the loophole.

But here's one thing to illustrate, Nike has always had an ordinary attitude towards "latecomers" and "second-married" players, even if you're the league's hottest superstar. Anyway, the most important thing that Nike lacks is superstars. So in the absence of sneaker manufacturers to compete and raise prices, Kobe Bryant "sold" himself in this way. Look at the "first marriage" LeBron, Durant, etc., the treatment can almost kill Kobe Bryant in seconds, and when Kobe fulfills his 5-year contract with Nike, he is also old, and the most important thing for him at this time is no longer the sneaker contract, no longer a knife, but an O'Brien Cup, but a championship ring.

Therefore, Kobe Bryant has not changed the shoe manufacturer again.

But this matter, Kobe Bryant always has a pimple in his heart, not very happy, today ESPN people bring up the old things, and there is a faint meaning of belittling and ridiculing him, which makes him can't help it, and said: "You ESPN reporters, now except for telling right and wrong, there is no other question to ask?" ”

The ESPN reporter is not afraid of No. 24, anyway, the "family" is not compatible with this "black mamba", and he doesn't need to do much scruples: "Bryant, I just want to ask China's personal opinion now, this is not a violation of your Lakers' press conference management regulations, right?" Seeing this person's attitude, Kobe Bryant was about to get angry, but he was preempted by the 29th beside him and said, "Since you want my personal answer, then I might as well tell you." ”

Tang Qian stared at the ESPN reporter and said, "I will never, never, never, never join Nike or all of Nike's subsidiaries again." I don't know if you heard this answer clearly? ”

"Hot, you ......" Nash originally wanted to dissuade him, he was afraid that the Lakers' No. 29 was just hot-headed, and when the time came to calm down, he would regret it. But Tang Qian shook his head, then looked at the person from ESPN again, condescendingly, and said, "If you have any other sharp questions, tell them all in one breath, I will satisfy your 'thirst for knowledge' today." ”

The ESPN guy was not polite, and immediately threw out several questions:

"About Carmelo. Anthony, Gray. Jones, Kanter. Is there anything you would like to say about Will? ”

"Freud. Mayweather calls you a ki^.guy, are you? ”

"Jason. Whitelock said that you only use the **** of the S model, is it true that he said? ”

I thought that such a question was enough to make this oriental rookie confused, but I didn't expect that the other party would answer it fluently and said:

"First question, Carmelo. Anthony only got 18 million for 6 years when he entered the league, that is, he only had 18 million strength, so Jordan would only give him this price, and later he didn't prove himself, is he still worth 60 million in 7 years? I just ran into a boss who knew the goods, and he said that I had a big appetite, and that was purely jealousy and jealousy. And then there's N'Golo Kante. Will, I don't understand what a shot put champion is competing with me, I have obviously never met him before, but since he said so, I will not run away from it, and answer his doubts head-on. The world shot put champion is very strong, but over the years, has there been a shot put champion whose endorsement fee has exceeded that of an NBA star? I haven't heard of it anyway. If he feels indignant, it's very simple, wouldn't it be nice for him to come and play basketball? Talking about money across sports is something that idiots do. He Kante. Will it is not or not, I can't say. As for Gray. Jones~" Tang Qianyan said domineeringly: "It's basically my subordinate's defeat, if he is not happy with my endorsement fee, then please tell him, let him come to me directly, I welcome him at any time." ”

"You're quibbling!" ESPN's reporter said: "Jean Kante. Will come to play basketball? Why don't you say you're going to play shot put? And Gray. Jones, why do you say he's your loser? If you can't produce evidence, he can sue you for defamation! ”

"It's not a good idea to interrupt me." Tang Qian sat on the speaker's seat, his eyes were like a sword: "But you said so, I also agreed, it's not fair to let him play basketball, it's better for me to go to the shot put world to find him." ”

"And Gray. Jones: Does he dare sue me for defamation? The video on the Internet, that's ironclad evidence, it's still the same sentence, if he doesn't accept it, he can come to me at any time, oh, by the way, the premise is that I'm in Los Angeles. ”

"Move on to your second question." Tang Qian said: "Freud. Mayweather questioned if I was a ki^. That's a good question, and I welcome him to come and verify it in person. Of course, if he is afraid, then I also understand, after all, he is only 173CM tall, in front of me, he is as ridiculous as a dwarf, I don't bend down, maybe I can't find him at all. As for his little Freud. Mayweather', how big can he be when he calculates the proportions of his stature? I gave him half the length to guess it would be enough to win. ”

"The third question, Jason. Whitelock seems to like to make sexual jokes about our Asian players, I wonder if that's racism? But it doesn't matter, you can tell him not to run into me in the future, otherwise I will make him unable to even use the S model for the rest of his life. ”

"The fourth question, and this is an extra question I gave you, you ESPN people should all be weasels." Tang Qian said something that made ESPN completely decide to hack him for the rest of his life: "Fart all day, aren't you tired?" ”

After the call, not only the ESPN reporter was stunned, but all the Lakers players were also stunned.

I didn't expect this oriental center forward, who looks like Sven Wen, once he is provoked, he will speak so sharply!

But when I thought of his fierce record and terrifying skills, I was relieved again, because how could a person like this "who can fight" be a good gentleman and a good baby? ESPN and these people underestimate the temper of this No. 29 too much, he is not Yao, nor Yi, nor Sun, he is a man nicknamed "Tyrant Hot".
