Chapter 209: Greetings from the United Kingdom
Five consecutive wins, the Pacers have won another five consecutive wins, as the Pacers' record is getting better and better, Zhang Kong can no longer be as calm as before, there has been a paparazzi squatting in front of his villa, hoping to photograph the news about Zhang Kong.
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Zhang Kong's name has become more and more famous recently, and the evaluation of Zhang Kong in the media has become higher and higher.
There are many celebrities who jumped up and said good things about Zhang Kong, and of course there are people who deliberately look for Zhang Kong.
"He's got really talented, I don't even know what to say, he's going to be the second me? I like you to say that, but he doesn't want to get AIDS. This is what Magic Johnson said to the media in an interview.
Magician II? Such a name has been passed on many times in the alliance, but every second generation of magicians is quite miserable.
Like Jordan's second generation, anyone who has called Jordan's successor can't die well, like the veteran Hill, it's quite miserable.
"He's very good, his shooting is very accurate, and he has a very good shooting percentage, he doesn't shoot randomly, he always attacks when the team needs him, he usually takes the ball as his responsibility, and he defends like an outside gate, directly freezing the players he wants to defend! Offensive talent is excellent, defensive talent is strong, such talent is very rare. This is Jordan's evaluation of Zhang Kong after becoming the boss, Boss Qiao is not particularly generous, everyone knows this in their hearts, but he is willing to pay luxury tax for Zhang Kong, but unfortunately, Zhang Kong does not have much willingness to join a small town like Bobcat.
"Zhang Kong? No kidding...... You know, he made me lose a bottle of '82 Lafite, and I don't have a good impression of him! "That's one of the things Charles Barkley said to the media in an interview, and it's what the media are most happy to see lately.
As Zhang Kong became more and more famous and influential, countless old guys jumped out to evaluate Zhang Kong.
Ewen, Abdul-Jabbar, Big Dream Olajuwon, etc., almost all the famous places in the United States have jumped out.
And Stockton, one of the former Jazz twins who stayed in the capital of the United States, also jumped up against the normal state of sinking before.
"What? Johnson said that Zhang Kong is like him, oh, no kidding, look at Zhang Kong's style of play, saying that he is similar to me! These are the words of Stockton in an interview with the Washington Post, and in this way, Zhang Kong became popular all over the United States again.
He's going to be the next superstar! The second generation of magicians in the 'United States' can't stop him! The New York Times Sacramento's mistakes have made Indianas the happiest people in the country! 'Los Angeles Times almost all major newspapers are now reporting news about this Chinese, Zhang Kong's side face on the stadium has become one of the things that must be hung in the homes of countless basketball teenagers, Zhang Kong never takes art photos, so even if it is about his poster, it is only captured on the court, such a surname player, in the NBA really has not appeared, and everyone is more and more interested in this mysterious Oriental, the largest sports newspaper in the United States, Sports Illustrated also uses Zhang Kong as the title of their issue.
A storm has formed around Zhang Kong, and the alliance also took this opportunity to launch Zhang Kong, and many videos and peripheral products about Zhang Kong have appeared in NBA outlets in major cities, and I heard that they were sold out on the same day.
And as Zhang Kong's influence has become greater, several major shoe manufacturers who are looking for Zhang Kong's endorsement have also increased their prices, and even Nike has increased the price to $5.5 million a year, but Zhang Kong still didn't agree, he is not short of that money, and when will he put his identity on it, looking at Zhang Kong holding it here, others are not good at saying anything, Joe Johnson, the manager, said that it is Zhang Kong's manager, in fact, he has no real power at all, he is not like those strong managers.
He is very honest, Zhang Kong is looking for him is right, although this guy is honest and introverted, but his business ability is really strong, but he is not very good at patting the boss's ass, so there has been no way to be promoted in the original company.
But now he is under Zhang Kong, and he is doing a good job, Joanna set him an annual salary of Chinese New Year's Eve million US dollars, which will be increased by 10% every year, for a total of five years, which means that he will earn 440,000 US dollars in the fifth year, which is a decimal for Zhang Kong, but for Joe Josh, it is not such a simple thing, recently his wife came back crying and shouting.
Kneeling in front of him and begging him to forgive himself for divorcing him in the first place, and resolutely dumped her new boyfriend.
This also made Joe Josh secretly refreshed, and now he is absolutely loyal to Zhang Kong, what Zhang Kong says.
Although a whirlwind blew in the outside world, Zhang Kong, who was in the center of the whirlwind, was not as excited as the outside world thought.
He is not the kind of guy who can be easily praised by the media, whether the media praises him or scolds him, he won't care too much!
It's okay to say that he is thick-skinned, or to say that he doesn't care about reputation, anyway, Zhang Kong is watching the media, and those guys don't call much.
Whether they say they are good or bad, they can't control it anyway, and I don't want them to show mercy.
Zhang Kong's surname has attracted a lot of rebellious young people to like him, such a lukewarm feeling is just as these young people say has a surname, and Zhang Kong, who stayed at home, didn't know that at this time he was at home through video with the ...... on the other side of the ocean Well, Xia Xueshan on the other side of the Atlantic is talking, since Zhang Kong separated from Xia Xueshan at the capital airport.
The connection between the two has not been broken, the two often meet and talk on video, although there is only about one day a week, but for the two of them, this is a period of time that both of them cherish very much, after Joanna knew the relationship between Zhang Kong and Xia Xueshan, although she didn't say anything, but she could see that there was a trace of decline in her eyes.
But soon after, she appeared in front of Zhang Kong in high spirits, woman, Zhang Kong couldn't figure it out at all.
"It's late over there, is there a game tomorrow?" Through the video, Xia Xueshan glanced at the sky outside Zhang Kong's room, there is also a time difference between the United States and the United Kingdom, and it is already dark in the United States at this time.
"yes, tomorrow at home against the Bobcats, and then fly to Memphis to play the Grizzlies, and then fly to San Antonio to play the Spurs......" The recent Pacers' schedule is very close, consecutive games and back-to-back games are very much, after all, their schedule in the first half of the game is too easy, the recent schedule is not so easy to deal with, Spurs, Celtics, Hawks, Heat, Magic, etc., almost every few games there is a bad game, and many of these bad games are consecutive games.
For example, the recent game against the Grizzlies and Spurs was a back-to-back, and the physical problems were quite serious.
"Then go and rest, I'll turn off the video!" Seeing a tired smile on Zhang Kong's face, Xia Xueshan quickly turned off the video, for her, she could look at Zhang Kong like this, and she was already very satisfied to listen to him.
After all, people have feelings, she and Zhang Kong have lived together for so long, although nothing has happened, but it has slowly bred a kind of thing called **love, although this thing is still very hazy, but it is very cherished for Xia Xueshan.
The time difference between Britain and the United States is five hours, and now it is almost ten o'clock in the evening on Zhang Kong's side, and it is only four o'clock in the afternoon on the British side, and she has not finished her day's work.
"Hey Natsu, are you going out to watch a basketball team game?" Just as Xia Xueshan was packing up her things and preparing to go to dinner, a blonde and blue-eyed girl suddenly broke in outside the door, and this girl was the first friend Xia Xueshan met in the UK.
Because Xia Xueshan's campus is the most expensive in the school, it is also very well set up, only one person lives in a room, a bathroom with reading power and a comfortable bed, water, electricity and Internet need to pay for themselves, such a accommodation environment is similar to the situation at home, of course, the price of such a accommodation environment is also quite expensive, that is, Xia Xueshan is a foreign student who lives.
"No Susan, I'm going to eat!" After packing up her things, Xia Xueshan said to the little girl next to her with a smile.
"Hey, you can eat whenever you want, huh? Camera? Were you just talking to your boyfriend? Huh? Seriously, I don't even know what your boyfriend looks like, so many boys in our school have made you refuse to pursue you, I thought your boyfriend was just your excuse! Looking at Xia Xueshan's things, Susan next to her walked in with a smile.
"Male...... Friends? Xia Xueshan listened to Susan's words, turned her head and glanced at the poster on her bedside, the poster was taken on Zhang Kong, this poster was seen by many people, but they all just thought that Xia Xueshan's idol was Zhang Kong, and they didn't think that Xia Xueshan might have anything to do with Zhang Kong, only Xia Xueshan herself knew about this matter.
"I'm going to dinner, basketball team, you can go play!" Xia Xueshan smiled at Susan and rejected her friend's kindness.
"Then I won't go if you don't go, I know you're afraid of meeting William, but seriously, William is not bad, the family is rich, and he is handsome, I really don't know what your boyfriend looks like, he made you so desperate, if I were studying abroad, I might have found a handsome guy as a boyfriend!" Susan said with a grin.
"Yes, yes, you little pervert, go find William!" Xia Xueshan glanced at Susan next to her, and then left the dormitory with a smile.
