Chapter 113: Two Emperors
On November 7, the Cavaliers' plane had just arrived in New York, and a reporter interviewed Cavaliers coach Mike Murphy. Brown.
'We've just had a tough back-to-back game, the players are still haunted by yesterday's defeat and we're in very bad physical shape, so it's going to be tough for us. Mike. Brown is telling you the truth, most of the Cavaliers players did look tired after getting off the plane. "The Knicks have won three in a row, so we don't think it's going to be an easy match." Mike. Brown's words have the intent to release smoke bombs, but they also have the flavor of being tricky.
The Cavaliers lost to the Bulls by one point at home yesterday, which means they will not be less physically exhausted, and today they faced the in-form Knicks in back-to-back games on the road.
The Knicks-Cavaliers game was scheduled for 9:30 p.m., which allowed the Cavaliers players to rest for a few more hours, but it was still a drop in the bucket for them, and the fitness of the two teams was not destined to be on the same level tonight.
"They don't have the energy to play a long game with us, so we're going to find a way to get it out of the way, and in the first quarter we have to watch out for them to launch an onslaught, and today we have to be fast, protect the rebound, and the most important thing is to get up to speed up and consume their energy." D'Antoni was particularly witty today, and he guessed Mike. Brown's tactical arrangement, the Cavaliers' side did pay attention to a quick decision.
Everyone knows that the further this game drags on, the lower the odds of the Cavaliers winning.
Two hours later, the battle of focus was about to begin.
The home team in the NBA usually has a grand appearance. Each player will be specially entertained by the fans when they are on the field.
Wu Huang was naturally the last player on the team to play. Knicks' live commentator Chris Brown. Pino shouted at the top of his voice: "Let's welcome the 'Human Emperor' into the arena!" The voice fell. Fans in New York immediately shouted "Emperor of People" and "Emperor of People" along with this commentary who lacked morality!
LeBron. When James heard this in the tunnel of the away team, his face darkened with anger!
Emperor Wu is the "Emperor of People", is he the "Emperor of Ogastans"?
Chris. That's what Pinault meant, the Knicks, an old man who was almost sixty years old but still full of energy, was wearing a Wu Huang jersey at the moment, shouting, "Let our boys teach the dirt buns who came from the countryside to die!" ”
Wu Huang wore his UA-Hugo-One and ran all the way into the stadium in this warm home atmosphere.
UA is now crazy for fun. Wu Huang's high-end signature shoe, which costs up to $150, was officially released on October 28, and sold more than 100,000 pairs worldwide on the first day, and 200,000 pairs a week later, creating an incredible $30 million a week sales for many people, making it the third highest-selling active player in the NBA this year.
Forbes magazine counted last year that in 2008, Jordan's sneakers sold $1.5 billion in the United States. Bryant (150 million), LeBron. James (120 million), Dwyan. Wade (40 million), Chris. Paul (35 million), Cameron. Anthony (35 million), Kevin. Durant (20 million), Dwight. Howard (5 million) is several times more combined.
Wu Huang's sneakers have now sold the sales of many big-name stars in just one week, and the "Warcourt Street Daily" even predicts that the annual sales of UA-Hugo-One will exceed $100 million, approaching or even surpassing the sales of James and Kobe.
"It would be nice to be able to sell for 100 million. I also have a rider clause in my sneaker contract that I get a 2.5% commission if I sell more than $100 million a year. That's $2.5 million. Wu Huang felt that he should not have a problem getting the $2.5 million this year.
In this additional agreement, as long as the annual sales volume of 150 million US dollars is reached, Wu Huang will have a 3% commission, which is 4.5 million US dollars; When it reaches $200 million in sales, this commission ratio will rise to 4%, which will become $8 million; The highest commission ratio is 5%, which requires annual sales of more than $300 million.
In the end, the difficulty of this task is too high, and Wu Huang himself feels that he may not be able to play in three years, and he will have such a great influence after he at least wins the championship to sell so many sneakers.
Wu Huang is still here calculating how much money he can get this year, and the Cavaliers players have already begun to enter.
It was much easier for the visitors to get in, and it was mostly boos, except for James.
As soon as the gorilla walked out of the players' tunnel, many New York fans cheered for him twice, obviously many New York fans are still fantasizing that James can come to the Knicks next year, and then they will have two emperors, and they will be able to win the championship.
Wu Huang heard the cheers of the New York fans, and he didn't know what to think, and when he greeted James, he actually said to the gorilla in Chinese English, with full malice: "I have heard the name of the public for a long time, and I am honored to meet today (make up the English of this sentence)." However, what made him dumbfounded was that James seemed to understand this sentence in Chinese English that even he couldn't understand himself?
"I'm also very happy to meet you, I've seen you in the NCAA Finals, and it was a great performance." Although James smiled ugly, he was sincere. Of course, he didn't understand this passage in Chinese-English, but he knew what a few words meant, and thought it should be a friendly joke.
Wu Huang was stupid, he didn't know that James was in a complicated mood after meeting him, a little disgusted, but not particularly disgusted. A little appreciative, but a little resistant to appreciation, James can't figure out where this complicated emotion comes from?
There are many strange things, today on the plane to New York, James had a strange dream, he dreamed that he had become a gorilla, and he was even beaten by a panda and a fox!
It hurts. But there is something even stranger in this dream. All three of them wore Clippers jerseys. James also found himself wearing a golden championship ring of his dreams, but the letters engraved on it were also the abbreviation of the Clippers, and the year was actually 2020.
"Dude, what's wrong with you?" Wu Huang was very friendly when he saw James, but he was embarrassed to joke anymore, and after finding that James was a little distracted, he asked out loud.
"Oh...... It's nothing! James shook his head, then jokingly said, "You may not believe it." I got into a fight with a panda and a fox in my dream. ”
"Stupid!" Emperor Wu smiled, and secretly scolded Bai Yuan in his heart!
"Boy, you're too bad, you don't look like an emperor." O'Neill, a dead fat man with a grinning face, also came over and patted Emperor Wu on the shoulder.
Emperor Wu was taken aback by this action, this dead fat man's big hands like a fan, if he added a little force to him, it would be easy to shoot him to death directly.
O'Neal had a good impression of Emperor Wu, not only did he not exert his strength, but said with a smile: "Last year, the Knicks almost completed a deal with the Suns. I almost teamed up with you again. "As soon as the big shark finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong." Why should I say the word 'again'? ”
The TV broadcast gave Wu Huang and O'Neal high-fives in time at this moment, and many fans should know how long O'Neal's big hands are, which is also a mystery in the industry.
The NBA previously did not have data on the length and width of the palm, so there are different opinions about how long O'Neal's palm is. But one thing is for sure, even if it is not as long as many people say about 38cm, the real length of O'Neill's palm should be between 25-28cm.
Therefore, this shot is cut just right, Wu Huang's body side includes the length of the palm, and it is a very accurate number - 23.3cm. Needless to say, this is definitely a big pair of hands, especially considering that Emperor Wu is only 190cm tall.
From the lens, it can be found that O'Neill's hand is only about three or four centimeters longer when he high-fives Wu Huang, so that means that the length of the palm of this dead fat man will not exceed 28cm.
The Knicks and Cavaliers game is the most interesting battle among the 13 games played today. Barkley and Kenny. Smith.
Speaking ahead of the game, Barkley said: "Hugo has been getting a lot of luck lately with last year's Rookie of the Year. Ross comparison, do you think this kind of comparison is appropriate? ”
Kenny. Smith replied: "There's no doubt that they all have their own different styles, Hugo prefers to play on the perimeter and is slightly more efficient, even if he's lightweight, but he's a good player when it comes to all-round defenders, it's hard to compare which of the two styles is better, and time will probably tell." ”
Cavaliers starting lineup: Mo. Williams, Anthony. Parker, LeBron. James, J.J. Hickson, Shaquille. O'neill.
Knicks starting lineup: Wu Huang, Larry. Hughes, Wilson. Chandler, Daronnie. Gallinari, David. Plum.
D'Antoni has made some changes to his line-up today, and he will be the experienced Larry Brown. Hughes returned to the starting lineup and pushed Chandler back into the No. 3 spot, which he was already good at, while Gallinari went to play the No. 4 position to match his height. This lineup is more flexible and fast, with a longer range, and the defensive end may not be able to cope with the combination of O'Neal and Hickson.
In the opening jump ball, Wu Huang discovered a virtue for the Knicks and his college this season David. Lee hasn't won an opening jump ball yet, and today he met the old big shark, David. Lee still ended in a fiasco!
The Knicks players quickly returned to defense, James snatched the ball from Xiao Mo as usual, and activated the roller-road mode to push Chandler forward, which looked really domineering.
James dribbled to the frontcourt, looked around and found that no one came to cover him, Chandler was also a big step away from the main defense in front of him, and the little emperor immediately tried his three-point sense, and shot a three-point shot at the top of the arc in the opening game......
"Bang Bang"!
Without saying a word, James happily accepted the fact that he had struck iron, turned around and ran back.
In the past few seasons, James's three-point shooting rate has not exceeded 35%, and this voice is all too familiar to him.
David. Lee is carrying the fat O'Neill, don't look at the fat man is almost 350 pounds now, but a fat body does not mean that he still has the strength at his peak, David. Lee stuck the fat shark behind him, and Gallinari grabbed the rebound.
"Attack!" Wu Huang didn't look at whether the opponent had returned to the defense in time, and shouted a sentence first, at least it could scare the knight players!
Not to mention, when Emperor Wu shouted like this, the Cavaliers players, except for O'Neal, immediately ran back, looking very jealous of the Knicks' run.
Seeing this, Wu Huang didn't run forward, leaned down and pushed forward slowly, pinching the 8th second of attack time and accurately crossing the middle line, so angry that the knight players had the urge to step forward and attack him!
David. Lee pulled out to block and dismantle, the Knicks faced the extremely clumsy O'Neal today, and it was definitely a brain cramp not to block and dismantle, could this dead fat man still delay them after the two of them were separated?
Mike. Brown's fears soon followed, O'Neal was now infinitely slow, as if the other four Cavaliers were in the same rhythm and O'Neal himself was in another rhythm.
I saw Emperor Wu and David. After a simple block at the top of the arc, O'Neal couldn't keep up with anyone at all, and he didn't defend at all, staying behind the free throw line, and when the two were disassembled, he went straight to the basket to defend.
David. Li Cai didn't go to the basket, pulled away and received a pass from Wu Huang on the wing, and easily hit a mid-range shot to give the Knicks the lead. (To be continued.) )
