I’m Really Playing Basketball

The contract renewal between Chen Xiao and the Bobcats is progressing very smoothly.

Because Chen Xiao and Jordan both have the same goal.

Because Jordan believes that Chen Xiao is the same person as him and will never become a deserter if he fails to achieve his goal.

Therefore, for him and the Bobcats, even if Chen Xiao asks for a one-year signing, Jordan will be willing.

Therefore, there is no conflict between Jordan and the Bobcats in this 3+2 contract.

At the same time, in Chen Xiao's contract, the Bobcats and Jordan gave Chen Xiao all player privileges.

For example, the most famous privilege is the right to veto transactions.

However, the Bobcats' right to veto the transaction given to Chen Xiao was rejected by the league.

Because of league regulations, players must be required to play in the league for eight years and to play for the current team for four years. Only players who meet this requirement can add a trade veto clause to their contract with the team.

Therefore, in history, there are very few players who have this right, and the most famous one is Kobe.

Although Chen Xiao does not meet the official trade veto clause, Chen Xiao's contract can basically be said to have rights in all aspects of the team, which is more overbearing than the official trade veto clause.

I have to say that Boss Qiao is really sincere.

After completing the contract with the Bobcats, Chen Xiao will go on a trip to China with Jordan this summer.

Because Chen Xiao joined the Bobcats, it was impossible for Nike to miss the opportunity of this trip to China.

Historically, Jordan's trip to China was very ugly.

But this time, it's definitely different.

By the way, in addition to cooperating with Hook's trip to China this time, Chen Xiao also has to play in the Asian Championships.

2005 is the year of the Asian Championships. As the highest level competition in Asia, NBA players such as Chen Xiao, Dayao, Shou, Bago, Arab League, Zhu Fangyu, etc. will all participate.

For the Asian Games or other events, the Chinese team has re-discussed that they will not send all the main players to lead the team. Chen Xiao can just bring a bunch of young players to participate.

As an Olympic champion, it would be too ugly to participate in the Asian Games, National Games and other secondary intercontinental competitions.

I have to say that the 2004 Olympic champion was indeed a great boost to the Chinese basketball community.

Because they had the task of returning to China for the Asian Championships, Chen Xiao and Dayao went back together.

Dayao took Wade with him.

Wade, who has always been disliked by Nike, finally signed a contract with Li-Ning, a domestic sports brand.

To be honest, Li Ning really gave him a lot, and Wade's popularity in China is indeed high now, much higher than in the United States.

After all, Yao Ming's closest teammate.

However, before returning to China, Chen Xiao took Dayao and Wade to Los Angeles.

Because Facebook needs to consult Chen Xiao about the company’s second round of financing.

The money invested by Chen Xiao and James last year has been burned, and Facebook's current valuation has reached 200 million. Facebook is preparing to use 13.7 shares for the second round of financing, preparing to raise US$27.4 million.

Of this amount, US$13.7 million has been subscribed by Silicon Valley venture capital firm Accel, accounting for 6.85% of the shares.

The remaining 6.85 is led by the two major shareholders, Chen Xiao and James. Wade, Dayao, Ji Ge, Xiao Tiantian, Xiao Pao, Ke Lao Da, Jia Lao Da and Luo Ge are all interested.

To be honest, Facebook has now entered a period of rapid development on the right track. According to the evaluation of investment companies, Facebook's valuation will exceed 500 million by this time next year. Therefore, Facebook is really not short of money as long as it raises funds.

If you don’t have connections, you won’t be able to get shares even if you have money.

Accel, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm, was able to enter because Facebook would be listed in the future and needed his help.

And Brother Ji and the others were able to join because of the help of Chen Xiao and James.

In the end, Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Pao each invested US$500,000 to subscribe for 0.25% of Facebook shares because they were short of money.

Ji Ge, Wade and Jia Dabo invested 1 million US dollars and subscribed for 0.5%.

Mr. Ke, who is very interested in investment and has invested a lot in Silicon Valley in Los Angeles, is quite courageous. He spent 2 million US dollars to subscribe for 1%.

Luo Ge also invested 2 million US dollars to subscribe for 1%.

The most wealthy among these people is undoubtedly Dayao, who alone contributed 2.85%, which is 5.7 million US dollars!

"I accepted 2%, and the remaining 0.85 belonged to Bage, King, Ah Lian, and Xiaozhu. In fact, Xiaozhu's $425,000 was borrowed from Xiao Chen."

Well, it is indeed the case. Bago, King, Ah Lian and Xiaozhu each subscribed for 0.2125% of Facebook shares.

To be honest, in the NBA, many people are keen on investing. Not everyone just wastes money after getting the money. There are still many players who have plans for their future.

The most famous example is Durant, who was later known as Xiaoshuai.

This guy is simply an investment maniac.

And Iguodala made more money from his investment in the Warriors than his salary.

Of course, although there are many players in the NBA who have such plans for their future, there are more players who do not have such plans.

This time Facebook’s financing conference once again introduced a group of NBA stars as shareholders, which makes Facebook absolutely unbeatable among NBA audiences.

NBA fans are young. Basically, as long as it is promoted, they will definitely get started.

Chen Xiao and James currently have the first and second highest Facebook fans.

Therefore, after raising a lot of money and having a group of superstar players to help promote it, Facebook will once again be on the fast track.

Of course, even without the help of Chen Xiao and the others, in history, Facebook was valued at 15 billion by October 2007, that is, two years later, Ba Ge, Wang Ge, Ah Lian and Lian who had the least shares The four little pigs will all become millionaires with more than 30 million US dollars.

In October 2007, Microsoft invested US$240 million and could only obtain 1.6% of the shares.

If these people can keep their shares in Facebook until 10 years later in 2015, even Wang Gebao, who holds the least shares, will have a wealth of 500 million US dollars. By then, they can sell them to buy NBA balls Team.

Of course, these people didn't know this at this time, because Facebook is very popular now. In one year, the number of active users exceeded 6 million. Everyone wants to come here to make money.

Boss Ke had wanted to invest for a long time, but he had no way out. He heard that Chen Xiao was the major shareholder, so he asked Chen Xiao to help.

So, after Chen Xiao helped, Kobe invited Chen Xiao and James to his house as a host in Los Angeles. During the visit, Kobe showed off his son Al, Al Bryant.

Well, hearing this name, Chen Xiao always felt full of malice towards his head coach Michael Jordan.

In history, because of the Eagle County incident, Vanessa had a miscarriage, but this time, the Eagle County incident happened to Sprewell, Chen Xiao, Ke Boss, Ke Boss and Xiao Zhan belonged to the "also fucked" A group of people, so the baby in Vanessa's belly is very healthy and cute.

Therefore, at the dinner, Kobe wanted him to be Al's godfather, but Chen Xiao decisively refused.

Because he doesn’t believe in religion, what kind of godfather is he?

He is the successor of Beep Beep. Not even idols can change his indestructible beliefs!

"Forget it being a godfather, being a godfather is fine."

Well, in fact, Chen Xiao has already become the godfather of the sons of Xiao Zhan and Wade, and then he can be the godfather of the eldest son of the department, and in the future, it is also possible to be the godfather of Xiao Cang and Xiao Tiantian's son.

At that time, when these boys grow up under the training of his experience card, even if he really retires by then, can he still be the godfather of the entire NBA superstar?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao always felt a little naughty and laughed.

After visiting Kobe's house, Chen Xiao and his party returned to China from the United States.

When Chen Xiao and Yao Ming returned to China, the whole of China was shocked.

With the Chinese men's basketball team winning the Olympic Games in 2004 and Chen Xiao winning three NBA MVPs in 2005, the basketball atmosphere in China can be described as explosive.

Not to mention Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, who are the leaders of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Even Bage, Wangge, Ah Lian and Xiaozhu all have incredible popularity in China.

Therefore, the photos of Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, Ba Ge, Wang Ge, Ah Lian and Xiao Zhu who came out of the Shanghai airport were dubbed the strongest group by domestic netizens on the Internet.

After Chen Xiao and Xiaozhu returned to China, they only stayed in the country for three days before heading to Doha, the venue for the Asian Championships, with the Chinese men's basketball team.

After arriving in Doha, Chen Xiao and Yao Ming are still very popular.

If the level of Chinese players and Central Asian players were on the same level, they would still boo Chen Xiao and the others.

However, now Chen Xiao and the Chinese team are Olympic champions!

The levels of the two sides are too different, so there is no jealousy or the mentality of being an enemy, and all of them have become the licking dogs of the Chinese team and Chinese players.

Let's put it this way, the players in West Asia really enjoy taking photos with China's top six NBA players.

This is a super team with six NBA players!

How many years does it take for such a team to appear in Doha and Central Asia?

Even, what has never happened before, the dream team will not come here to compete.

Besides the Dream Team, which national team can have a lineup of two superstars, three All-Stars, and six NBA players?

Of course, compared with the popularity of fans and players in West Asia, the attitude of the teams in East Asia towards the Chinese team is a bit subtle.

During the game, Chen Xiao and the Chinese players could clearly feel the respect the Japanese players had for them and the jealousy and resentment the Korean players had for them.

Good guy, especially to Chen Xiao.

Because Chen Xiao not only abused them, but also slept with their goddess, Chen Xiao didn't know how many times in a row she was elected as Nanbowan, the most hated international superstar by Korean men.

Therefore, in order to repay the affection of the Korean men's basketball team, in the semi-finals of the Asian Championships, when facing the Korean men's basketball team, Chen Xiao and the Chinese men's basketball team really didn't show any affection at all.

123 to 49!

Killed South Korea almost three times.

When the game ended, there was almost silence in South Korea, and after a moment of silence, all the Korean players were insulted by asking the Korean players to commit seppuku without coming back.

Historically, in this Asian Championship, the Chinese team defeated South Korea 93 to 49, almost doubling the score.

In other sports, the Chinese team may be at odds with the Japanese team, but in basketball, the Chinese team's biggest enemy is South Korea.

Every time we encounter it, it's like Mars hitting the Earth.

But because of the emergence of Chen Xiao and the rise of the Chinese men's basketball team, every time we encounter him now it's basically an egg against a rock.

Well, South Korea is always the one who is shattered to pieces.

In this Asian Championship, Chen Xiao and Dayao basically came to travel.

Throughout the Asian Championships, from the first round of the group stage when they played their first opponent, Iran, to their final opponent, Lebanon, the Chinese team basically had no one-match opponent, and every game was won by at least 30 points.

If Meng Yi is a dream team in the Olympics.

Then the Chinese men's basketball team is now also at the level of a dream team in the Asian Championships.

Almost every position is No. 1 in Asia.

Therefore, after the Chinese team defeated Lebanon 107-61 in the finals, the Lebanese players were full of praise for the Chinese team, especially the two superstars Chen Xiao and Yao Ming of the Chinese team.

However, there are also surprises.

For example, the players of the Korean team are very disdainful of the Chinese team.

On September 18, after the Asian Championships, South Korean center Ha Seung-jin was very upset about the loss to the Chinese team when being interviewed by the American media.

"It wouldn't have been so miserable if I had been fucked earlier!"

At the request of an American reporter, he agreed to sit down and have a chat after the game. He used pure American English. His improvement in English during his stay in the United States was much greater than his basketball level. When I interviewed him in Harbin two years ago, , he almost only says "Yes" and "No".

But now, his American accent is quite pure.

AP: Now that the competition is over, do you have any plans after returning to South Korea?

Ha Shengzhen: It’s nothing special. I will fly back to the United States on the 24th, back to Houston, and I will go back to prepare for the training camp.

AP: Let’s talk about this Asian Championship. Do you think it’s any different from last time?

Heshengzhen: Different? For me, there is not much difference. Last time I lost to China and failed to go to the Olympics. This time I lost even more. The result is that I cannot compete in the World Championships. The results are the same.

AP: Before the semifinals, you said you were well prepared and wanted to compete with Wonder Boy. Are you disappointed now?

Ha Shengzhen: I have made a lot of preparations, but compared with Chen, I am still a little behind. Chen is a superstar. He has a strong body, good skills, huge influence, and of course a lot of experience. I am still a rookie in the NBA, so I can't compare with Chen yet.

AP: So you and Chen only had an inside conversation for a few minutes during that game. How did you feel?

Ha Seung-jin: I couldn’t do anything. I don’t know what our coach is thinking. I am indeed not as good as Chen, but my height and strength are not very disadvantaged, but he only lets me play from behind. In this game, there were many such situations. You saw the second game against Qatar, what I did and how I performed. But I just don’t understand why I wasn’t allowed to play in the semi-finals. I think if I had been there, the result might not have been so bad. I think at least it wouldn’t have been such a shameful point difference, and we could even have won.

AP: Did you ask the coach that question later?

Ha Shengzhen: The game is over, I think there is no need to ask.

AP: How is this confrontation with Wonder Boy different from last time?

Ha Shengzhen: There is no difference. I was a rookie in the last Asian Championships. I didn’t defend Chen very well after coming on the court or anything. This time I had a shorter chance to face him directly, but it still had no effect. No. What a difference.

From this interview, it is obvious how much Ha Shengzhen has opinions about the head coach. If the head coach reuses him, he will definitely become the Optimus Prime of the Korean team with Yao Ming on his left hand and Chen Xiao on his right hand.

AP: When did you first learn about Wonder Boy?

Ha Shengzhen: Let me think about it, about three years ago, I know that he became the first Chinese MOP in the NCAA.

AP: What were you doing at that time?

Ha Shengzhen: At that time, I was in high school and represented our school in the high school league.

AP: How did you fare?

Ha Seung Jin: I remember that I performed well in the high school league. By that time, I had already won three or four MVPs, which is the most valuable player in the high school league. So, before Chen became the MOP, I was already the MVP So, before we are 19 years old, maybe there is not that big gap. As long as I can be reused in Houston, I can also become Top 5!

Okay, before Chen Xiao became MOP, I was already MVP!

After the Asian Championships, when Chen Xiao and the Chinese team returned to China, all the sports media in the United States, and even the entire China, were all headlined by the Associated Press interviewing He Shengzhen.

"Before Wonder Boy became MOP, I was already MVP!"

Good guy, when Chen Xiao saw this title, he was shocked.

If you didn't read the content, I'm afraid Chen Xiao would think this was what Garnett or Duncan said to him.

However, what qualifications do you, a mere Hesheng Town, have to say such a thing?

So Chen Xiao subconsciously thought that this was a common tactic used by the American media, but after reading the entire report, Chen Xiao felt that this time, the American media seemed to be upright.

"Do all these Koreans have brain problems?"

"Ahem, don't strike too hard. Sisters-in-law have no problem with their brains. They are Korean men."

"..."

Chen Xiao feels that some people just need to be dealt with!

PS: hszheng was so crazy in those years, he often complained that Yao Ming was better than himself because of luck, not strength and talent
