Tang Wenlong is becoming more and more popular, and in the new issue of China's Forbes celebrity list, Tang Wenlong topped the list, and his influence in Asia is increasing day by day.
He has become a real idol-level player, and Forbes' personal income statistics for him last year were around 200 million yuan, ranking first among all people on the Forbes list. Such a huge amount of income mainly relies on commercial brand endorsements, and in the past year, Tang Wenlong's commercial endorsements continued.
The second place on the China Forbes celebrity list is Jay Chou, the 32-year-old Jay Chou not only released his solo album "Exclamation Point" in 2011, but also held a number of concerts in a row. The all-round king Andy Lau is in the third, and has held more than ten solo concerts in two months, and the "Sister Yao" invested and starred in has won numerous awards and achieved a box office of nearly 100 million.
After sweeping the Hawks, the 76ers became the first team to advance to the division finals in the playoffs, and then a day later, the Spurs swept the Clippers to become the second team to advance to the division finals. The Heat lost one game on their home court, and the Thunder lost a game at Staples.
However, less than three days later, the Heat defeated the Bulls in Chicago, defeating the injury-plagued Bulls 4-1 overall to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Thunder won 106-90 at home, also with a 4-1 record, defeating the Lakers and advancing to the division finals. The Lakers couldn't accept such a result, and in the last game, it was similar to last year's swept by the Mavericks, with all kinds of irrational situations, and even Atay elbowed Harden, who was somewhat unstoppable.
At the same time, the head coaches of 30 teams voted for the best defensive team of the regular season.
Chris Paul, Tony Allen, Andre Iguodala, Ibaka and Howard became the best defensive first team, and Rondo, Kobe, Tang Wenlong, James and Chandler became the best defensive second team.
Interestingly. Chandler's failure to make the first team of defenders, who was clearly the best defensive player, is a reflection of the biased perception of the game by managers and TV commentators, or sports journalists.
And because the number of players in different positions is not considered, the lineup is not completely arranged according to the regular lineup, so in the second lineup, there are three guards: Rondo, Kobe and Tang Wenlong. Of course, it is also possible that the head coach has always regarded Tang Wenlong as a striker.
Tang Wenlong has received numerous personal honors, not only being elected as the Most Valuable Player, but also being selected as the best first team and the best defensive second team. For him, it was a successful regular season, leaving countless seniors behind, and now the only remaining goal is to win the championship
When he first entered the league, James left Cleveland. Traveling to Miami to partner Wade, and later to find Bosh, became the poster child for a superstar in his playing years, spurned by countless expert media, all for the seemingly within reach of a championship dream.
At that time, the whole league was talking about Miami's Big Three, although James's style of play was in line with the aesthetics of the vast majority of Americans, but in the face of righteousness. Many people are still fans turn passers-by, and even passers-by turn black. He and Humphries became the least popular NBA players.
And it cannot be denied that James is still the most dazzling star in the league, talented, capable, and the slogan of becoming the first person in the league has been shouted for several years, and he belongs to the top level of the league. At that time, Tang Wenlong was just a rookie who had just entered the alliance, and even if he was a role model, he was often questioned.
Unexpectedly, less than two years have passed. Tang Wenlong led the 76ers to complete the transformation, and now the two teams are actually standing on the same stage to compete for the only ticket to the championship.
James would never have thought that Tang Wenlong, who was just a junior of his friend Cameron Anthony, has now become the biggest obstacle in their Heat's way, and it seems that this obstacle is not too easy to mess with.
On the other side, 76ers fans also feel the Heat's difficulty.
The Heat are neat and in excellent shape, and the game against the Bulls shows that Wade, Bosh and James are in absolutely good shape, plus the support of Battier, Haslem, Chalmers, James Jones and other strong players, it is definitely considered a strong soldier, and no one can guarantee 100% of the series, which is not at the same level as the Hawks and Knicks.
So the fans of the two teams took the lead in spraying each other on Twitter and forums, and the number of fans who supported the 76ers and supported the Heat was comparable, and from the perspective of the age distribution of fans, the fans who supported the 76ers were divided into two parts, one was a slightly younger fan, who liked Philadelphia because of Tang Wenlong in the past two years, and the other large part was a little older.
France's Ronny Turyaf was the first to attack the internet, perhaps because he is also a European player, and pointed the finger at Marc Gasol as soon as he spoke: "I'm tougher than him, I'm a defensive inside, I'm going to do everything I can, I mean, it's going to be a really interesting series." ”
After the Heat entered the playoffs, Turyaf squeezed out Joel Anthony to become the starter, and perhaps this is where his confidence comes from.
The big-mouthed Louis immediately responded, "Dude, your outfit is outdated, I think you should pay more attention to how to ensure your appearance, maybe you can go to Paris for a fashion show." ”
Turiaf was furious, and Louis Williams also openly @ him, which was extremely arrogant, and he immediately responded: "The 76ers are just a pseudo-strong team, they look unstoppable before they meet real opponents, but when they really encounter tough battles, they can't afford to be strong at all." ”
As soon as this remark came out, it instantly attacked all the 76ers, and now that smartphones are popular, Twitter and Weibo are developing more rapidly, all the players of the 76ers are indignant, like Iguodala, Gasol and others began to spray with Turiaf on Weibo, and the French ridiculed the full level of skills.
The more the stars argued, the happier the unscrupulous media laughed, every sentence was full of news points, and even a pre-game war of words could be published, much like the scolding war before the battle between the two armies in ancient times.
On the evening of May 28, the Heat and 76ers showed up at the same time in the Wachovia Center arena.
There is only one game in the NBA at the same time, and the game has not yet started, but it has already attracted the attention of basketball fans around the world, and the ratings are climbing
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
