Hearing Bill Duffy say that the team supported him to go out to explain the game and let him train for two less days, Sun Ce felt very sad.

Co-authored this year, too hard, will be disliked by the coaching staff to practice too much?

In fact, it's no wonder that the coaching staff, Gilbert Arenas was also very hard-working, although he didn't have to practice more after playing games like Sun Ce, but he was definitely in the top ten or even the top five in the league in terms of hard work.

As a result, I practiced myself.

Sun Ce's training intensity is not the highest, but the training time is ...... Scary!

Sun Ce is almost in the last regular season game month, and he can still be released to toss other teams......

The commentary remuneration for a match of 35,000 US dollars, as well as round-trip air tickets and hotels, Sun Cequan should travel for a day before entering April.

If you have money, you can still be on TV......

This kind of thing makes teammates envious!

If they retire and play a game, they can earn 30,000 US dollars...... I don't know how happy I am.

Ninety percent of NBA players are unemployed after retirement, and the vast majority of retired players who can find jobs are generally scouts, coaches, management, and commentators.

Barkley's annual commentary income has just reached 3 million US dollars, although it is higher than the salary he played back then, but it is really not high among the current players.

Barkley is basically the most popular and paid basketball commentator, and not as much as the salary of an NBA mid-class contract.

However, Barkley is already a very good kind of person who entered the NBA in the 80s and early 90s, except for superstars such as Magic Bird Joe.

Most of the stars went bankrupt not long after retiring, and Pi Erye's career salary income after tax was more than 50 million, and his endorsement income was more than 15 million, and he was deceived by more than 40 million not long after retiring......

With the development of the times, today's stars are much better in terms of financial management than most stars in the 80s and 90s.

The main reason is that the salary of players suddenly skyrocketed at that time, before the 80s, the Magic was only more than 1 million US dollars a year, and Jordan was only about 2 million US dollars, but relying on the magic bird war, the attention of the NBA in the United States was greatly improved, and in the 80s, the salary cap of 1.9 million US dollars was only 1.9 million US dollars when the magic bird first entered the NBA, and the salary cap in the 1989-1990 season has exceeded 10 million.

By the time Jordan's first triple championship and the Barcelona Olympics brought the NBA to the world, to the 1995-1996 season, when Jordan made a comeback after retiring for the first time, he signed a 20-year high-value live broadcast deal, and the salary cap doubled to more than 24 million US dollars.

At this time, any All-Star will have a starting salary of seven or eight million US dollars, and an all-star level player who gives three or five million US dollars is not willing to sign with you at all, let alone a long-term contract, except for Pi Erye......

At this time, the players began to float, and many of them didn't know how to fight, and suddenly their salaries increased tenfold.

The iconic figure is Rain Man Kemp's salary in the first seven years of his career totaled 8 million US dollars, and in 1997, he got a 7-year contract of 84 million, and his salary skyrocketed tenfold, and then he gave birth to a bunch of children, retired and went bankrupt.

Because the salary is much higher than in the seventies and eighties, many players in the seventies and eighties are already ready for retirement work.

But after salaries skyrocket, who thinks about that? Most players retire without a job, do not graduate from college, and directly become millionaires or even multimillionaires when they enter society, without any ability to survive except playing......

Things have gotten a lot better in the past few years, and the stars have become accustomed to such high incomes, and social media is more developed, unlike back then, when a random financial broker cheated them.

Of course, there are also cases where two No. 21s were scammed by the same broker......

……

The next morning, Sun Ce came from Memphis to Charlotte.

How close is Memphis to Charlotte?

Anyway, it's much closer to the Black Iron Triangle of the Rockets, Spurs, Mavericks and New Orleans, and Tennessee isn't even adjacent to Texas or Louisiana.

On the contrary, it is adjacent to North Carolina, where Charlotte is located.

Sun Ce feels that the Grizzlies should be in the East, so that they can compete with the Hawks for third place in the East, and how cool the team in the first half of the playoffs is!

Arrived at Charlotte Douglas Dual-Use Airport and. The people from T TV met up and went to .T's branch in Charlotte.

"Noah, this is our branch in Charlotte, it's close to the Bobcats arena, closer than any other TV station, let's shoot the video of the noon commercial......"

Came. T Division Building...... A seven-story building is the tallest building in their area.

"Is it close? Great, Bill told me it's a hassle of traffic. Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief, when Bill Duffy contacted him last night, he was most worried about the ride.

"yes, it's close, we're 90 minutes to the Bobcats arena."

"Oh...... That's pretty close...... What the? 90 minutes? ”

……

Every time he came to Charlotte, Sun Ce felt that it was really magical.

In 2009, Charlotte had a population of more than 700,000 people, almost 500,000 farmers were in vain, and there were only 250,000 office workers.

The biggest feature is that more than half of the 250,000 people working in the city work in banks, because the urban areas are scattered, sometimes there are several banks in a neighborhood, and there are even more bank employees than customers in a neighborhood.

However, it is very profitable to open a bank here, because American farmers are high-income groups, and they can't be farmers without money, whether it is borrowing interest income or absorbing deposits, Charlotte ranks among the top in the United States.

The basketball market here is also very good, not to mention the small population of the city, the attendance of basketball games is very high, there is North Carolina, a super popular team in the NCAA, and the Bobcats in the 90s are also a strong team.

Because the Bobcats' home stadium was rebuilt in 2002, it was chosen near Outlet Plaza, Charlotte's most populous outlet near the Catawba River.

The old arena is almost in the easternmost part of Charlotte, where hundreds of farmers markets gathered, and now the center of Charlotte has moved to the west near the Catawba River, and the canal leads directly to Charleston on the east coast, and now Charlotte's agricultural products and light industry and textile exports are all going out from here, so it has become the financial center of North Carolina.

And these TV stations are all around the old arena of the former Charlotte Hornets, and they are purely self-built buildings, and they can't be moved if they want to move.

One east and one west, an hour and a half by car......

That's a quick deal for Charlotte's sports TV crew, and it's two hours to get to the Bobcats arena on ESPN.

This made Sun Ce, who could run to the stadium in Memphis in about ten minutes, feel unacceptable.

But with thirty-five thousand ...... Endure it!

That's a lot more than the pay to play a game.

I followed the staff to shoot a promotional video, as well as an advertisement for the lottery.

The prize is a replica of the Air-Jordan-X Chinese Red endorsed by Sun Ce. T's invitation to Sun Ce has a lot to do with E-Cone sponsoring the live broadcast of the Bobcats' game.

……

When it was time for lunch, Sun Ce and the producer went to a well-known family restaurant in Charlotte. The Gold Basketball Commentary Combo, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith are here.

Kenny Smith seems to be very disgusted, and Barkley is holding a shopping bag from a dessert shop, a very huge one.

Barkley came up to hug Sun Ce very warmly: "Noah, oh, my friend, I finally see you." ”

Another fat man!

Why does Sun Ce feel that he has a fat man no matter where he goes?

After the greasy hug, this guy was even bigger than the current O'Neill, Sun Ce couldn't help but want to complain, and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Barkley, it's an honor to meet you." ”

"Noah, you don't have to call him a narrow victory, just call him Funa's fart," Kenny Smith next to him decisively stabbed him, came up and shook hands with Sun Ce and lost: "I'm Kenny Smith." ”

"Damn drunkard, I'm called plump!" Barkley said angrily, then handed the shopping bag in his hand to Sun Ce: "Noah, this is my welcome gift, the doughnuts from one of my favorite dessert shops here in Charlotte. ”

Donut...... Sun Ce thought of Anthony's doughnuts, and he had been wondering, was that reward a doughnut, or did it taste like a doughnut?

But Sun Ce was a little confused, why is this fat man so enthusiastic?

Or are fat people so enthusiastic?

Seeing Sun Ce's confusion, Kenny Smith "Noah, you don't know, because you made Jordan unhappy, Charles this guy likes you and says he wants to be a brother with you, this guy is really not ashamed, I don't know how old I am?" He's probably older than your dad......"

Listening to Kenny Smith's words, why did Sun Ce feel that Kenny Smith's mouth was so poisonous? Attack two people at once!

When I watched the .T live broadcast, I always felt that Barkley was inexplicably angry, and now I finally understand that Barkley often talks nonsense and makes himself miserable, which is what Kenny Smith stimulated.

I can't feel it when I watch the live broadcast, I just feel that Barkley is the protagonist and is crazy about things.

But now that we know, Kenny Smith is the one in charge......

Sun Ce accepted Buckley's gift, and the doughnuts went back to Randolph to eat, and the guy liked them......

No matter why Barkley is so enthusiastic and so fond of him, Sun Ce doesn't think it's a bad thing!

This guy is one of the few all-round power forwards in NBA history, with the top scores, rebounds, and passes, and averaged 25 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the MVP season......

Build a good relationship and have a chance to ask for advice......

Sitting down at the dinner table chatting with Barkley, Kenny Smith interjected from time to time...... The kind of map cannon, Sun Ce suddenly felt weird, how could he meet an inside star who could be consulted?
