At the end of July, Tang Qian received a promotion request from AND1, and then he was going to China for a 6-day and 5-night sneaker promotion activity. This is normal, as Tang Qian's NBA is getting better and better, his popularity is getting higher and higher, and the domestic ban on him is almost completely lifted, so AND1 chose this time to let Tang Qian return to China for the first time.

As a football 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 can't be for nothing, you still have to do something. Besides, compared with Nike, the "hegemonic brand" of the United States, they have been very accommodating, and basically the publicity he made in the offseason was not intensive and frequent.

So when it was Tang Qian's turn, he wouldn't be uncooperative.

Returning to China publicly for the first time, Tang Qian first prepared some gifts, and then before he left, he was stopped by Taylor, who wanted to go back with him. This, well, should be anyway. Tang Qian nodded in agreement after thinking about it, and this attitude made Taylor also say that he was very satisfied.

Because it was a publicly publicized trip, there were a lot of people present, and as soon as I got off the plane, I saw a lot of Tang Qian's fans, shouting loudly in the airport hall. Tang Qian was waving his hands and smiling all the way, and it wasn't until he got into the car arranged by the event party that he relaxed and said, "It's really not easy, this trip is much more tiring than before." Taylor said nonchalantly, "What is this?" You're a big star, too! When did we attend an event in the United States when it wasn't crowded? So, Don, you'd better get used to it sooner. ”

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

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

Tang Qian was stunned, frowned and thought for a while: "I really haven't calculated this carefully, I have to look at the deposit to know, but it should be a lot." "Is it enough for 100 million? Or I'll give you some points? Taylor said this, Tang Qian understood, it was a small grudge that he had formed when he came to the United States to help Taylor "block the knife". At least for now, it's a small grudge.

His fame and popularity have been greater than Bill's. Shagat doesn't know how much bigger, plus the first year's sneaker dividends have not yet come out, and when it comes out, it is estimated that it will be a lot of money. But there is still a bit of a gap between $100 million and $100 million.

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

However, back then, he only said who would earn 100 million US dollars first, and did not say that he would save 100 million US dollars, this goal, Tang Qian thought that he would be able to achieve it in 2 years at most. This is really a feeling of being in a different world, 100 million US dollars, what a terrible number I used to think, millions of cash felt like a lot, but now, it has become a goal that can be achieved in a short period of time.

Even his father and mother have gradually become accustomed to a life without worrying about food and clothing, which are all changes accumulated day by day.

"No, Taylor, I don't think it's a big deal right now. You should know that although there are many people watching football in the United States, and the ratings are higher than basketball, they can't catch up with us in terms of the degree of gold absorption. The globalization strategy is also 108,000 miles different from the NBA, so I will solve this problem myself. Hearing Tang Qian say this, Taylor couldn't help but laugh a few words: "Yes, Tang, you have been so 'domineering' in a few years, and you are estimated to be going to heaven in the future." ”

"Well, compared with others, I may be okay, compared with you to make money, I'd better forget it." Tang Qian was a little speechless in the face of Taylor, a little rich woman, he remembered that in 2013, she attracted 39.7 million US dollars, and this year it soared to 64 million US dollars, and the female singer in the whole world is second only to Beyoncé, who attracted 115 million US dollars. Moreover, this is far from Taylor's limit, and in the future this number will reach a terrifying hundreds of millions of dollars!! It's not a soft girl coin!! Therefore, if you make money with her, forget it, Old Man Qiao is not her enemy.

"Hehe, shouldn't you be happy? If I'm so good at making money, our lives will be less stressful. Taylor laughed. What kind of life pressure, do you say this word is appropriate? I think it's extravagant pressure, right? The word is pretty much the same. However, Tang Qian could only slander him secretly, he was not stupid enough to say it directly, so that Taylor had a reason to "run wild".

The event arrangement is actually not complicated, that is, the ones that ordinary stars have to do when they come to China, such as making an appearance in the flagship store to promote it, such as having a performance and interview in the gymnasium, such as going to a little public event, a dinner, such as an organized fan meeting, etc. It doesn't seem to be anything, but the arrangement is very intensive, almost after participating in one place, and then rushing to the next place non-stop. However, Tang Qian's first public activity in China was still very hard-working, giving full play to the "model worker spirit", and he invested 100% of his energy every time.

This made Taylor a little "speechless", she pulled Tang Qian between an activity and said: "Tang, it's not right for you to do this, people's energy is limited, you can't invest like this every time, after a long time, people can't stand it." Taylor is an expert in this area, she became famous at a young age, and then there are all kinds of performances and activities, so she is far more experienced than Tang Qian, a "rookie", in dealing with this kind of intensive activities. But Tang Qian took a breath, shook his head and said: "For other places, I can use your method, for my motherland and fellow fans, I can't do this, I believe that every time you go back to your hometown to publicize, you are much more serious than other times, right?" Americans also attach great importance to their hometown, so when Tang Qian said this, Taylor could only nod and say, "That's right, but your hometown is not here." It's not even your hometown yet. ”

"No, I'm not an ordinary player now, and it may be difficult for you to understand what it means to have a basketball star or a football star in our country. So, I can't be vague on this boundary. After Tang Qian finished speaking, he said, "I'll take a little rest and call me when I get to the place." ”

On the third day, Tang sneaked to the magic capital.

The campaign is still going on and on, which is really different from playing basketball and training, consuming not so much physical energy but energy and brain power. Especially in the face of 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 all have bad roots, and they all hope that people who are successful can be swept to the end.

In addition, the current network water army is huge, and it is not easy to be "put on the platform", and it is also troublesome to explain and refute rumors.

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

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

Seeing this "giant" again, he was a little fatter, and he was completely out of touch with his athlete image. How to say it, the image is to say, from Yao, to a female omen. Well, it shouldn't be difficult to experience it yourself, right?

It's not the first time Taylor has seen Yao Ming, but every time she sees her, she can't help but marvel, claiming that how can there be such a tall person.

Yes, in front of Yao Ming, who is 226CM barefoot and nearly 229CM tall in shoes, Tang Qian was suddenly "shrunk" a lot, and the feeling of a "giant" no longer existed.

"That's right, you seem to be stronger than the last time I saw it, it should be like this, as an inner line, the meat can't be less." Yao Ming said enthusiastically when he met: "But don't be too fast, you have to take into account the limit of your body's endurance, otherwise if you get injured, it will be counterproductive." Yao Ming has deep feelings about this, after all, he was forced to retire at his peak age, in addition to running abroad and abroad, the competition does not stop, and his weight gain is too fast, which leads to problems in his body, bones, and soles, which accelerates the end of his career. Therefore, his words to Tang Qian were not only polite, but also sincere suggestions.

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 kindness, and said with a smile: "Well, I'll pay attention, Brother Yao, it seems that your meat has been hanging a lot during this time." It looks like my sister-in-law has given you more food. "I'm fat, 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 casual, 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 it casually." Yao Ming directly gave the menu to Ye Li and said, "You and Taylor can order it, and you can choose what you want to eat." After speaking, he began to talk to Tang Qian about some serious matters: "The matter of Yao Tang Basketball School is already being started now, and it is estimated that the first wave of students can start in August." Tang Qian nodded and said: "I've also seen the basic things, there's no problem, it's the coach and trainer part, can you upgrade a little more?" It's best to just hire some NBA trainers first. ”

"Xiao Tang, I know what you mean, everything has to be straightened out, but you also have to consider what age and level these students are enrolled in. At present, there are three classes, primary school class, middle school class and adult class, and the three classes we focus on are primary school classes and middle school classes, because adults come to train again, in fact, they feel the atmosphere more, and primary school students and middle school students are the key points this time. In the face of elementary and middle school students, inviting professional trainers in the NBA is a knife to kill chickens, and the effect is not as good as hiring some low-level trainers. They are also more likely to systematically temper children in this developmental period. ”

Hearing this, Tang Qian knew that he was still a little "taken for granted", because just like Yao Ming said, for children, if you directly invite NBA-level trainers, their usefulness is not great at all, and even NBA-level trainers, they are used to training NBA-level professional players, and many things are aimed at children, and they are not as accurate as these people.

"I see, I've been taught, Brother Yao." Tang Qian said humbly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yao Ming is very good at being a person, and immediately said: "When I started playing professional basketball, I didn't know anything, if it weren't for the Yao team behind me to help me operate, I guess I would have caused a lot of trouble." After all, I used to be young~ I understand it very well~" I have to say that Yao Ming's emotional intelligence is really high, Tang Qian always feels very comfortable when he talks to him, without a little embarrassment and sluggishness.

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

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

A lot of things may have to be ahead of schedule.

This is a very private party, because in addition to Yao Ming and Tang Qian, it is Ye Li and Taylor, so some of the things that are said are not too afraid of being passed on. But even so, the voices of the two people still lowered a little: "So Brother Yao, what do you mean, there will be great changes in the basketball world in China in the future?" ”

"That's right, at that time, I hope you can put aside your prejudices and come back to help."

"The question is who is in charge? If it's another letter management second, I guess it's still ......"

"Don't worry, this time, he is definitely a knowledgeable person, but who it is, I can't tell you now." Yao Ming blinked his eyes and said: "But one thing is certain, that is, what you want must be satisfied, and the domestic men's basketball team has been silent for so long, and it should be a little change." Seeing that Yao Ming was so sure, Tang Qian was also a little surprised, but he knew that Yao Ming was not a person without a purpose, so he nodded and said: "If the contract within the system can be abolished, at least it is an improvement, I will join." ”

"The abolition of the entire system is not an overnight thing, and many people even count on this for the rest of their lives, which can only be said to be abolished by the mandatory nature of the contract within the system and turned into a form of free choice by both parties. In this way, resistance and conflict can be relatively minimized. ”

"Makes sense." Tang Qian said: "I really hope that he really knows how to come up." ”

"Yes, Don Jr." Yao Ming regained his tone at this time and said: "Okay, eat vegetables and eat vegetables, today I am the east, help you catch the wind and wash the dust, come and come, eat." ”

thought that Yao Ming's ascension to the original time and space was in 2017, so Tang Qian's memory of ending in September 2015 was of course impossible to know. Including NBA Bosh's physical problems, he is also not very clear. At least it is not known that Bosh will retire in 2016 because of this problem. He's not that kind of prophet, so he can't control the unpredictable in many places.

Just when everyone was seven or eight minutes full after eating, suddenly Yao Ming received a phone call, he was stunned at first, and then his expression became a little serious, and said: "I know, stabilize my emotions first, I'll go over and have a look later." ”

"What's wrong? Brother Yao? Is there anything wrong with you? Tang Qian saw that Yao Ming's expression was a little wrong, and asked.

Yao Ming paused, seemed to be thinking, but finally said, "That's the case, because I am preparing for the upcoming first Basketball World Cup, and now the men's basketball team is in the magic capital, to be precise, in our big shark training base for temporary special training." "So what?" Tang Qian knew that the important thing was in the back, so he waited patiently for Yao Ming's answer.

"You also know that once we start preparing for some competitions in China, we will definitely do some training in advance, such as exchange competitions, friendly competitions, and three-country four-nation competitions, which are intended to improve the state and make the athletes better and faster to devote themselves to the emotions of the game." Tang Qian listened and nodded, because this is indeed a "convention" in China, whether it is basketball or football, it is all like this, there is no difference. The original intention of this exchange game, friendly match, and warm-up game is okay, but because some "big players" in China want to save face, they often forget the purpose of this kind of competition, and they are stubbornly engaged in the main force, but they neglect the reality of military training. In the end, it backfired, so that this model has not many positive effects at the moment, but a lot of negatives.

"So now they're doing this? A closed friendly match? Tang Qian asked.

"Hmm." Yao Ming said: "It's a confrontation with the Philippines, because the latter is also a participating country this year, so please come over and have an exchange and warm-up between the two sides." But...... I heard that we had a conflict with them, and the more we fought, the bigger the scale. ”

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

"It's not far, it's not about fifteen minutes by car." Yao Ming said.

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

"You're going too?" Yao Ming was stunned, he didn't expect Tang Qian to want to go too.

"I've never seen this kind of formal senior confrontation with the national team, and I want to see it and see it for a long time."

"You need this insight?" Yao Ming shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Okay, then let's go and have a look together, I hope things don't get too big." Otherwise, it's really a loss and a loss. ”

Losing and losing? Listening to this meaning, it seems that the national team was beaten very badly, Tang Qian thought.

Until the four of them arrived there, they were really a little dumbfounded when they looked at the score.

This is only in the third quarter, and in fact, it is already behind by almost 35 points!! That's too exaggerated, isn't it???

But if you know the strength of the national team during this time, 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 lost to the Treasure Island team for the first time. How many points do you think you've lost? Hehe, 96-78, lost by nearly 20 points!! And when Yao Ming was there, the men's basketball team easily slaughtered the Baodao team by 60 points! What now? I was beaten instead! The top four in Asia were eliminated without a chance to compete! So in the men's basketball team in recent years, in fact, the team's combat strength has fallen to the bottom of history! It's not surprising that you have lost so much to the Philippines.

"Brother Yao, did you fight the Philippines back then, did you have such a time?" Tang Qian suddenly asked.

"I was playing for an Asian team and I didn't think I was going to lose." Yao Ming also couldn't believe it, because the Chinese men's basketball team has repeatedly been the top eight in the world under his leadership, and the Asian team? When did you lose?

"I didn't expect it to degenerate to such an extent, no wonder in the international arena, I can't win the ball!" Tang Qian sneered, then crossed his hands, put them on his chest, and looked at them quietly.

Judging from this half of the section, the problem of the men's basketball team is too obvious, except for Yi Jianlian, there is no strong point, and the usual "nest horizontal" is relatively strong, but when it comes to international confrontation, they are all sluggish, and they look like they are going to die. The hit rate is simply touching to the earth-shattering. If he hadn't seen this with his own eyes, Tang Qian would not have thought that this was the national team of a certain country.

"How can such a team win the ball if it doesn't change blood, bones, and souls?" Tang Qian said coldly while watching: "Look at those veterans, except for using experience to play the 'veteran uncle ball', there is no contribution at all." The young man is even more speechless, with a casual attitude, you see, obviously he didn't defend well, and he talked back to Yi Jianlian, which is really a big temper. ”

When Yao Ming saw this, he also shook his head, 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 so? It stinks.

is really what Yao Ming just said, losing and losing.

In the fourth quarter, the men's basketball team obviously played more impatiently, especially after Yi Jianlian went off the court, it was completely chaotic, and it all became a mess! I can't see that everyone is angry!

At this time, the No. 4 of the Philippine team, Jim. After scoring a dunk, Argig shouted, "You can't do it!" Tonight belongs to the Philippines! The future belongs to the Philippines! We are the leaders of Asian basketball! ”
