Chapter 178: Goal 30 million!

On January 27, the Knicks, who had lost two in a row, rebounded strongly at home, Wu Huang scored 28 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, David Lee and Harrington scored 26 and 20 points respectively, they led the Knicks to a 24-point lead in the first quarter, and maintained a large lead in the following games, and finally defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 133-106 at home, ending a two-game losing streak, while the Timberwolves suffered a four-game losing streak.

After this game, the NBA officially announced the 2010 All-Star bench roster, as well as the head coaches of the two star teams.

According to NBA rules, All-Star bench players are decided by the coaches of both teams, while head coaches are selected based on the first half of the Eastern and Western teams.

Eastern Conference All-Star starting lineup: Huang Wu (Knicks), Dwyane Wade (Heat), LeBron James (Cavaliers), Kevin Garnett (Celtics), Dwight Howard (Magic).

Eastern Conference All-Star Bench: Rajon Rondo (Celtics), Derrick Rose (Bulls), Joe Johnson (Hawks), Paul Pierce (Celtics), Gerald Wallace (Bobcats), Chris Bosh (Raptors), Al Horford (Hawks), David Lee (Knicks)

Manager: Stan Van Gundy

Western Conference All-Star Starting Lineup: Steve Nash (Suns), Kobe Bryant (Lakers), Carmelo Anthony (Nuggets), Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks), Amare Stoudemire (Suns)

Subs: Chauncy Billups (Nuggets), Jason Kidd (Mavericks), Chris Paul (Hornets), Deron Williams (Jazz), Kevin Durant (Thunder), Tim Duncan (Spurs), Zach Randolph (Grizzlies), Pau Gasol (Lakers).

Manager: Rick Carlisle.

Due to some injuries to the East and West benches, David Lee and Deron Williams were both selected as alternates.

But no matter what the status, in short, the Knicks have two players in the All-Star team this year, which is rare in recent years, and Iguodala would have been able to squeeze in if he hadn't come late.

Wu Huang is the king of all-star tickets this year. In addition to competing in the All-Star Game, he also represented the first-year team in the Rookie Challenge.

After the NBA officially announced the All-Star Game roster, it followed the rookie challenge roster, with nine players from each of the two teams and a total of 18 young players selected.

Second-year lineup: Derrick Rose (Bulls), Michael Beasley (Heat), Eric Gordon (Clippers), Kevin Love (Timberwolves), Brook Lopez (Nets), Danilo Gallinari (Knicks), Russell Westbrook (Thunder), Marc Gasol (Grizzlies), O.J. Mayo (Grizzlies)

First-year lineup: Huang Wu (Knicks), Tyrek Evans (Kings), Brandon Jennings (Bucks), Stephen Curry (Warriors), James Harden (Thunder), Omi Cosby (Kings), Ty Gibson (Bulls), Jonas Jerebko (Pistons), DeJuan Blair (Spurs).

It is worth mentioning that the rookie All-Star game format, which consists of first-year rookies versus second-year rookies, was adopted starting with All-Star Weekend in 2000. But in the 10 duels that have been played, the first-year team has only won two of them. In the last 7 rookie matches, the sophomores have won 7 consecutive victories against the first-year juniors.

The first-year team is headed by Rookie of the Year Huang Wu as the point guard, Kings duo Tyrek Evans and Omi Cosby are both named to the starting lineup, and 55-point kid Brandon Jennings is the team's sixth man. It's a little regrettable that in the '09 Tanhua Show, Grizzlies center Hashim Thabit was unfortunately not selected, and Blake Griffin was also reimbursed for the season, which made the interior strength of the first-year team sharply reduced.

The sophomore team is led by last season's Rookie of the Year debut, Derrick Rose. Nets center Brook Lopez will guard the interior. Their leader was last year's Rookie of the Year Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose, who has grown into an ace for the Bulls and has played an All-Star this season. And on the rookie challenge field, Wu Huang PK Rose, it is undeniable that it will be the pinnacle matchup that fans all over the world want to enjoy the most.

On top of that, the sophomores have a big advantage on the inside, with Timberwolves white forward Kevin Love, Nets towerbrook Lopez and Grizzlies center Marc Gasol all attacking the rookie team's basket in the restricted area. On the other hand, the first-year team was out of the game due to the regret of the top show Thabit. Griffin's season is reimbursed, and they only have Spurs short forward DeJuan Blair, Bulls rookie Ty Gibson and Pistons' Jerebko. In terms of interior height and dominance, it is obviously inferior.

The league also invited Wu Huang to participate in the "Skills Challenge" this year, but he was not interested in this, and he did not have that much time to prepare for the Skills Challenge, and just participating in the three-point contest had wasted a lot of his off-court time. Besides, this kind of game doesn't mean that you usually shoot three points accurately, and you can win the championship if you dribble well. Be sure to find time to practice, otherwise you will be eliminated in the first round and you will not be able to get over it.

Wu Huang didn't even want to participate in the "three-point competition", but the fans' call for him to participate was too high, as the player with the highest number of three-point shots and three-point shots in the league. If he didn't even participate in this game, not only the fans would not agree, but even the sponsors behind him would not approve.

UA specially prepared two different pairs of All-Star boots for Wu Huang during this year's All-Star Weekend, one pair was worn at the Rookie Challenge and All-Star Game, the difference is that the color scheme is different, and the other pair is specially designed to participate in the three-point competition.

Both sneakers are limited editions, and it is not known how many pairs will be shipped, but as long as they are labelled as "Wu Huang's first batch of limited-edition sneakers", their collectible value will be very high.

Wu Huang's commercial endorsement negotiations have entered one of the craziest stages in the period leading up to the All-Star break, with more than five million-dollar contracts being negotiated, and these businesses are hoping to complete the signing with Wu Huang before the All-Star starts, so that they can get the publicity in time for the All-Star Weekend.

Brandon has been so busy during this time that he wants to make Wu Huang's endorsement income exceed $30 million in his first season.

That's right, it's 30 million!

This number sounds exaggerated. There are not many players in the entire NBA who can earn more than $10 million a year from endorsements, and there are only two players who can really earn more than $30 million a year in the endorsement field.

However, Wu Huang does hope to become the third active NBA player to earn more than $30 million a year, and his sneaker endorsements alone can contribute more than $15 million a year to his endorsement fees, so he only needs to receive a few more endorsement contracts of more than $1 million. That's almost there.

Earning so much money every year, Emperor Wu will naturally be jealous of his peers.

Many media continue to fan the flames, and it is said that at this All-Star Game, many stars may unite against Wu Huang.

This kind of gossip may sound very unreliable at first, but when you think about it, Emperor Wu is indeed quite hated.

Why did he become an All-Star in his first season? Why did you sign a multi-million dollar sneaker contract before you entered the NBA? Why can you step on two boats with one foot and still be so chic and free? Why do so many female fans like him?

In the entire history of the NBA, there are not many examples of being able to enter the All-Star as a substitute in the first season, let alone becoming the All-Star ticket king in the first season, Wu Huang is definitely the only one in history. As for that 100 million dollar sneaker contract. It makes the eyes of players all over the league jealous, even a top point guard like Chris Paul wants to earn $15 million a year is a problem, but Wu Huang's sneaker contract is more than that.

If the above two points are just the players' jealousy of him, then on the issue of sisters, Wu Huangke is not only unilaterally jealous of the players, but the majority of fans are even more jealous of him!

A lowly yellow-skinned monkey was semi-openly engaging in a mess with their goddess, and Emperor Wu had to receive several boring duel letters every day. The boring people who shouted about breaking him to pieces are too many to count.

"Why are there only two of you, you guys are underestimating me too much!" Emperor Wu was naked. Came out of his ice sauna with a large bunch of grapes under his crotch, picked up a magazine on the coffee table and looked at it twice, and couldn't help laughing.

The Knicks are playing two games in a row tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the team canceled afternoon practice today to increase the rest time for the players. Wu Huang went home and did a few sets of strength training on his own, and then ran to the ice sauna for 15 minutes. After coming out, I only felt hearty, light as a swallow, and had an urge to jump on the roof.

"It would be nice if I had encountered this state before the game, maybe I could cut 50+!" Emperor Wu felt that he was in an amazing state at this time, and it seemed that even his brain was turning a little faster than usual.

"Jingle bell!" When I don't know what to do. Wu Huang's cell phone rang, and it was his good friend Brandon Moretz.

“…………”

"What! I disagree, I firmly oppose it! Emperor Wu thought it was an endorsement matter, but after answering the phone, he realized that it was for the pestering little girl again.

Brandon's slightly embarrassed voice came from the phone: "This time she will stay for a few days and leave, the movie has been filmed, this time I came to make up some shots, it will be completed soon, you can help me take care of her for a few more days." ”

The corners of Wu Huang's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that you also said that you would stay for a few days last time, but that girl stayed for more than a month.

"Wait, where are you now? Isn't it already downstairs for me? ”

"yes, I'm downstairs right now." Chloe Moretz's voice suddenly came, and Emperor Wu's mouth opened wide and he couldn't make a sound.

"Kolo, my brother can only help you get here." Brandon glanced at Chloe Moretz, who was full of smugness, and shook his head secretly in his heart.

During this time, Emperor Wu rarely went home to live, and ran around between the two women at night, and of course he, the agent, knew everything clearly. To put it mildly, Brandon didn't like those two women in his heart, and felt that they were not worthy of Hugo at all.

But helplessly, Emperor Wu took a different path than him, so Brandon would rather let his sister get along with Emperor Wu in the future than Emperor Wu marrying either of those two women.

Speaking of which, Chloe Moretz is 13 years old, and their family can see the girl's thoughts, at least the four brothers and their mother are supportive. And Brandon also found that Hugo's parents also seemed to care about Chloe Moretz, and the two of them were not as good as neighbors.

Wu Huang sighed after hanging up the phone, and still ran downstairs to pick up the two of them.

"Girl, why are you fat again, you have a hundred pounds, right?" Wu Huang looked at Chloe Moretz, who was dressed like a doll, and couldn't help but tease.

"Do you think I'm a pig? It's winter, I'm just wearing a little thicker, do you think anyone can walk out in a sweater like you? Beware of freezing you! Chloe Moretz sneezed twice as he spoke, and then looked at Emperor Wu, who had a thin layer on his body, but did not feel cold at all, and felt a burst of anger in his heart for no reason!

This kind of cold-resistant ability is what all women want to have, and if you want to show your thighs in winter, you must have the ability of Wu Huang who is not afraid of the cold.

"Isn't it really cold when you're wearing so little?" Chloe Moretz stuffed his luggage into Wu Huang's hand, rubbed his hands, and couldn't help but ask.

Brandon caught up from behind, secretly glanced at Emperor Wu with his excessively hot eyes, and then said, "Hugo, I know you're in good health, but you still have to be careful, the flu doesn't matter how good your health is." ”

"Don't worry, I haven't caught a cold since I was a child." Wu Huang looked back and smiled, completely forgetting that in high school, Brandon skipped class when he had a fever and came to make up for him and cook for him.

"Arrogant!" Chloe Moretz looked at Emperor Wu's smug face, and couldn't help but go up and pinch him hard.

"Hell, what are you doing here?"

"It's nothing, I just want to see how thick you wear underneath."

"Neurotic, how long are you going to stay this time? Where's your personal assistant? ”

"The make-up will only start tomorrow, so she will come tomorrow, as for how long the make-up will take, it won't take more than ten days and half a month."

After Chloe Moretz finished speaking, he couldn't help but pinch Emperor Wu again.

They hadn't seen each other for almost a month, and now that they saw Emperor Wu, Chloe Moretz didn't know why, she just wanted to go up and pinch him.

"Stinky girl, you're addicted!" Wu Huang pulled out his hand and glared at Brandon at the same time, this is what you said to stay for a few days?

"Don't listen to her nonsense, how could it be so long." Brand smiled, Chloe Moretz secretly gave a thumbs up from behind Emperor Wu at this time, the two brothers and sisters had a plan.

Brandon sat upstairs for a while, then left under the pretext of catching a plane.

In fact, this is not an excuse, during this time, his brokerage company is negotiating commercial contracts with more than a dozen companies at the same time, and the people in the entire company will be busy all over the world, and there are few people in the headquarters now except for the sweeping aunt.

Among the endorsement contracts that Wu Huang has signed now, the largest is UA7 years and 100 million US dollars in sneakers, followed by China Unicom's 5-year 100 million yuan, Geely Automobile's 6-year 100 million yuan, Lehaha's 5-year 80 million yuan, Canada Manulife Insurance 4 years 10 million US dollars, Haifeisi's 4-year 8 million US dollars, Apple's 3-year 5 million US dollars, and Panda Cheese's 3 million US dollars.

Brandon's goal is to bring $30 million in business income to Emperor Wu in the first year, so if you calculate it, he is almost complete by now. The total number of endorsement contracts signed now alone is more than $28 million. If you count those miscellaneous small contracts that even Wu Huang himself can't remember, they may have exceeded $30 million by now. (To be continued.) )
