NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 262: Big fish gather, Journey to the East begins~

Now all teams, including the league, are packing up and preparing for next season.

"The legend will never die!"

The Lakers' championship parade this year was more touching, and it also left many veterans wondering whether they should leave or continue to win the championship one person at a time...

30 teams have begun their final draft inspections and the free market has begun to surge.

After all, this year is really a special node.

New players are emerging in large numbers, and the expiration of free agents is also a milestone.

Coupled with the expiration of the league's old version of the labor agreement, the NBA league is in turmoil.

No one thinks that the aging Lakers can win three consecutive dynasties, and everyone is excitedly planning for next season.

This is indeed the case.

This season is a year of explosive growth for rising stars.

The 21-year-old Durant became the youngest scoring champion in league history, and the 20-year-old Jennings became the highest scorer in a single game throughout the season with his miraculous 55 points.

The 20-year-old Harden became the fourth rookie in league history to average 2,055 points per game in a season.

The 20-year-old Curry averaged 24.1 points, 6 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game throughout April.

The rising speed of new stars has surpassed that of their predecessors. Even the rookies produced in this "small draft year" can emerge as benchmarks such as Jennings, Evans, Curry, and DeRozan.

What about the Year of the Guard??

Wouldn’t it be enough to type them all out???

So with these in mind, the NBA's long-term future will surely be brighter.

The Lakers are having a hard time beating the Thunder this year, let alone the Thunder that will make a comeback next year...

The main reason is that every major management team is excited after seeing the list of big fish in the free market.

Although many superstars will renew their contracts, there are always some who will take the plunge, right?

Next year this is a rhythm that will inevitably be reshuffled!!

Anthony, Bosh, Dwyane Wade, James, as well as the one-year old and homeless O'Neal, Howard, and the Rockets McGrady, Ariza, and Scola.

Mavericks star King Now...

Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, Boozer, Pierce, Fisher, O'Neal Jr., Ray Allen, Ginobili, Rudy Gay, Kyle Lowry...

This year almost every team has starter-level and even superstar-level players whose contracts are expiring!!

Not to mention role players, there are so many Sixth Man of the Year Crawford and Bradley. This year may be the year with the biggest changes.

The Knicks also have several expiring contracts, such as Gallinelli and Big Q, which are all difficult problems, so Sean Marks and others have been busy recently.

Whether to get draft picks or immediate combat capabilities may be the biggest headache for management every summer.

Coupled with the significant increase in the salary cap this year and the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement, how much salary the boss will pay the players and how much tax will be paid to the league have also become big problems.

Jiang Chao also paid a little attention to it. Next season is actually a lockout season. The Heat's Big Three have just been formed, and labor disputes have arisen. This time it is because the old version of the labor agreement has expired, but the new labor agreement,

After many negotiations between the two parties, no agreement was reached, so the NBA was suspended.

During this period, many stars were trying their best to find gold.

For example, Jr. Smith came to the CBA to become Jordan.

Moreover, Kobe was close to signing with a CBA team, and the price was astronomical. The Banana Boat Brothers played charity games on the streets of the United States, and some players went to school during the suspension.

This farce seemed to affect more than 20 regular season games in the end, but it seems to be fine this year, so it will be left to Sean Marks to deal with it.

He doesn't care about any conflicts between labor and capital, he only cares about not losing money.

But I have to say that this year is really a big time point. What Jiang Chao didn't expect was that after the finals, even Nowitzki and Manu Ginobili's agents tried to contact the Knicks.

The Western Conference is too strong, and a lot of stars want to travel east...

At least the Eastern Conference has a chance. Judging from the performance of the Lakers and Thunder this year, the Western Conference may not be able to catch up no matter how poorly it performs in recent years.

…

Here Jiang Chao has been paying attention to market trends and has been negotiating with Ginobili, Warcraft and other teams.

He didn't expect that Manu and King Nowitzki's team would negotiate with the Knicks. If these two people can get it, it will definitely be awesome. These two people will be heroes in winning championships in the future. One is a single-core leader who still has a 40-degree fever.

Kill the boss of Baotuanre.

Another one suffered a broken calf and made a comeback to dunk Bosh...

However, despite the intense work, Jiang Chao still had something to relax his body and mind during his rest time.

"Looking back ~ I have never gone far

Yiyi's gaze will never change in this life~"

"I said, I won't dodge

I have to do this

No matter whether you listen or not, you still want to love

Love harder to make you understand.”

The songs "Never Change" and "Preferred" came from the computer, and the feeling of memories came to mind. Watching the immature Sister Mi and the innocence of Tianxian Liu on TV, I suddenly felt like I was a teenager.

And why should he look at it.

Because this year’s version is much more awesome than the previous version.

After all, with a rich man like him joining the team, the level of talent has risen immediately. Just kidding, the special effects are supported by a Hollywood team, making the immortals of the Celestial Dynasty become "real" immortals!

This also makes Jiang Chao feel a little ahead of his time, surpassing the general production level of Chinese TV series now, and the scenes are too real.

No, it’s real, and it looks even more immersive.

It makes him want to fly with a sword and travel to the ends of the world with it.

Originally, this drama was filmed in Hengdian, Xiangshan Film and Television City and other film and television cities, and the location was also shot in some hills.

And this time Jiang Chao directly invested in shooting in the mountains of New Zealand. Not to mention the feeling of filming The Lord of the Rings, at least the location of the Lingzhu combination made all viewers feel relaxed and happy.

I can't help but exclaim:

"Wow, is this the world of Xianxia!"

Then after watching the first 8 episodes, I received good news from the director.

It ranked first in the ratings when it was first broadcast on terrestrial platforms in multiple cities, and won the "Ratings Contribution Award" at the 10th Sichuan TV Festival; when it was broadcast on Ryukyu Dongsen Movie Channel, the ratings exceeded 2!

When Jiangsu Satellite TV premiered the show in its first prime-time slot, the average ratings was 1.36, ranking first among TV dramas in the same period.

Then Toilet TV saw how popular the show was and bought the rights with a guaranteed share of 5 million per episode. You must know that Jiang Chao’s investment was only 20 million.

However, since Toilet TV came later, prime time was no longer possible, so they frantically filled in the episodes during the day.

When it was broadcast during the day, the average national network ratings exceeded 1, and the csm50 single episode ratings exceeded 1.

Rating champion in 7 provinces!

However, the strongest one is not Jiang Chao's hometown, but Shandong Satellite TV.

Maybe the local people bought Lanxiang and New Oriental, and after suddenly having a good drama, they went crazy for it.

When it was broadcast in Shandong, the program ranked first in the ratings of the same period, with the average ratings of a single episode as high as 11%, and the share of the same period of viewing accounted for nearly one-third, with the highest ratings reaching 13%.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy III" achieved the highest single-episode ratings of 13.34% in the Shandong market, and the ratings share accounted for nearly 28.37% of the entire market. The highest ratings were 15.29%, and the highest ratings share soared to 37.8%. At the same time, the TV series

In the ratings rankings, it topped the list and became the most watched TV series in the Shandong market during the summer....

Since its first broadcast in Hangzhou, the average ratings have reached 6.6, which is close to the highest TV dramas of the current ZJ provincial and Taiwan channels throughout the year, and the ratings share has always remained in the first place...

Hu Ge directly sent a super chat to Jiang Chao:

"Boss Jiang, you are my god!"

Jianhua:

“Is the summer season so awesome!!!”

"It's you who performed well."

"No, no, it's because the boss put in a lot of effort. I feel like my acting skills improved during the filming abroad."

"Yes, when I climbed on the top of the snow mountain, I really felt like I was cultivating immortality."

"I think that's the Shushan I imagined!"

"Boss yyds, I love you!"

Jiang Chao counts money until he reaches hemp in the office. This drama has become the domestic TV series of the year in 2010, and the foreign TV series of the year is also Jiang Chao. "True Detective" currently has a Douban score of 9.4, which is exaggeratedly high.

When the crew of "Sword and Sword 3" was having a lively group chat, Jiang Chao suddenly received a friend invitation from a user with a somewhat killer avatar.

"Hu Xiaomi: Yang Mi~"

Jiang Chao clicked in agreement. It turned out to be Sister Mi, whom everyone loved in the Shamut era. No wonder this avatar is so familiar. The Great Secret of Later Generations has provided avatar materials for many boys and girls in the past few years. The photos taken are all

This dark melancholy style.

"Hello, boss."

"Just call me Jiang Chao, hello secret."

"Thank you for your investment in me."

"You are so powerful, I must invest in you."

Jiang Chao also knew that Yang Mi had already known from Jiang Jiang’s mouth that she was the future female president of Chaoshen Entertainment, but it was strange that the two had never met, and Boss Yang now admired Jiang Chao.

As Jiang Chao's employees, she and Liu Shishi did not disgrace Jiang Chao. After the TV series was broadcast, they ranked first and second in Baidu's search for the most popular actresses.

"No way, boss, you have good taste."

"Are you referring to yourself?"

Over there, Yang Mi chuckled, typing quickly with her fingers on the pink phone screen. The background of the Chao Chat chat was still the latest photo of Jiang Chao and Jr. Jordan sitting together watching a game, elegant and elegant.

"No, the plot of this drama is very good. Has the boss watched it?"

"Absolutely, otherwise I wouldn't dare to invest."

"How are my acting skills?"

"I want to beat up Hu Ge because he keeps criticizing you."

"Wow, the boss will protect me."

"You are so weird, who wouldn't want to protect you." The chat between Jiang Chao and Yang Mi really felt like online dating in 2008. Jiang Chao is young and mature, and a thief would say such things...it would make the famous Sister Mi in future generations very attractive.

of.

One of them used his mobile phone and the other on his computer to chat about their opinions on the plot. Why "Sword and Fairy 3" is more popular than "Sword and Fairy 1" is because the emotional line is so well written.

Another thing is that the casting is as correct as the first one. This is a perfect TV series.

Like "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", the most important thing in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is still love. Not only are the love and hate between the protagonists entangled, but also the supporting characters who are just going through the motions are mostly in love.

To nature.

The emotional line in "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" is much more complicated than in "One".

The "favorability" setting in the game was once a major selling point of the game "Legend of Sword and Fairy III", and this affected the different endings that could be played.

Correspondingly, in the TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy III":

Jingtian and Tang Xue meet this happy enemy, Long Kui and Jingtian have no regrets about waiting for thousands of years, Xiyao and Feipeng's faint feelings, Zixuan's deep love and waiting for Xu Changqing for three lives, the relationship between Chonglou and Zixuan

The hazy bonds between each other are all touching~~~

And for a movie fan like Jiang Chao, he doesn't like the happy endings that TV series in later generations have always had.

The ending of "Sword and Sword 3" happened to be very cinematic, which struck a chord with many viewers.

In the game, players can choose the woman who will accompany the protagonist throughout his life according to his own preferences, but in the TV series, the screenwriter cannot give everyone a happy ending.

Only in this way can this kind of deep affection become even more valuable.

Jingtian and Tang Xuejian were noisy all the way and disliked each other, but no matter which one was in danger, the other would go to the rescue at all costs; Long Kui's smile when she jumped into the sword-making furnace

It's also shocking.

The most lamentable thing is the three-life relationship between Zixuan and Xu Changqing, the first acquaintance and love in the first life, the goodbyes and misunderstandings in the second life, and the love between Zixuan and Xu Changqing in the third life...

Hu Xiaomi was completely shocked:

"Boss, how can you have time to watch so many episodes? The director said he was afraid that you would be distracted, so he didn't send it to you."

Because the entire Chaoshen Group employees knew that their boss was very angry after being eliminated in the first round this year, and the consequences were very serious. Unexpectedly, he...

Are you sneaking away to watch TV series??

Jiang Chao is very good at:

"Isn't it because the heroine is you~"

Fox Xiaomi:

"Ah, where is it? It's my first TV series with a female protagonist. I didn't perform well, and I still need guidance from my boss."

"It's good enough, as long as I like it."

"Brother Chao, do you want to come to China to relax?" Hu Xiaomi finally couldn't help but extend an invitation to Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao returned to China several times but never met Yang Mi. She was obsessed with meeting this legendary boss.

.

"What? You missed me?"

"You..." Hu Xiaomi bit her upper lip with her teeth, which was so funny that Jiang Chao could even imagine Sister Mi's actions when she said this.

After all, Hu Xiaomi is not the top actress who will dominate the entertainment industry in future generations.

She is now a sophomore in college, so she would have been dazzled by Jiang Chao's words if she could stand them.

"Haha, just kidding. You go on variety shows to gain popularity. I'll come back next year and I'll keep an eye on you."

"Busy about the draft and subsequent trades?"

"Yeah." Jiang Chao sent a tired emoticon, while Yang Mi pouted and began to worry about Jiang Chao not being able to eat or sleep.

The first chat with Hu Xiaomi ended here.

But then "644" also sent a friend request.

Jiang Chao was stunned at the meaning of this nickname at first, but if he looked carefully at the profile picture, wasn't it the photo of Solanum Kui turning around with tears in her eyes? Is this Liu Shishi?

It seems so!

Liu Shishi and Yang Mi are good best friends, and her 644th Weibo post was dedicated to Yang Mi’s birthday. Apparently she also knew that Jiang Chao would not return to China this year?

But Shiye is more powerful.

When he came up, he comforted Jiang Chao:

"If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come in! It's okay."

"What you're saying is like I'm falling in love..." Jiang Chao sat on the rooftop of the villa with his notebook, looking at the stars in the sky.

Five minutes later, Master Liu unexpectedly replied seriously: "You have to taste all kinds of flavors in life, including the ups and downs.

Falling out of love is just one of them, no matter how painful it is, is it as painful as coptis?

How many times do you eat Huanglian in your life?

When people reach a certain age, they are automatically immune to romance, so why not experience the joys and sorrows while you still have the feeling?"

"Ahem, thank you for the consolation, but haven't you come out of the TV series?" Jiang Chao felt for a moment that he was facing Master Liu who was in Bu Bu Jing's heart. It was too sad.

But it is true that the character Solanum Solanum has been crying, and it is also the most beautiful symbol of women in the hearts of young people of Jiang Chao's generation. Thinking about it, Jiang Chao also became more artistic, and directly typed a voice message:

"Is it Yang Mi who told you that I'm a little troubled?"

"Yes, and no~" The voice on the other end was very gentle, completely different from Yang Mi's voice.

"Are you having trouble? I'll solve it for you." Hearing Shuya's voice, Jiang Chao couldn't help but whisper.

"I like to hear you sing, boss... If I have the chance, I would like to go to the United States to hear you sing after my trip!" Liu Shishi really dares to love and hate. Like Nightshade in the play, he expresses his thoughts in the most gentle way.

The tone was expressed.

My fair lady, a gentleman is so jealous!

This feeling made Jiang Chao very excited. He stood up and took out a guitar that Swift had thrown here from the grass nearby, and said with a smile:

"You want to hear baby?"

"It's okay. You can also listen to some old songs. Can the boss sing Chinese songs?" Master Liu really has the taste of an ancient goddess, but he still doesn't listen to English songs.

"Yes, I am a Chinese ditty."

"real?"

"It's still original, listen."

Jiang Chao put his cell phone on the table and hummed:

"I love you walking alone in a dark alley..."

"Sorry, I sang it wrong, please try again."

Jiang Chao tried hard to remember the simple rhythm skills that Swift taught him. It was too difficult to play "The Lonely Warrior", so let's use a simpler melody.

Over there, Mr. Liu, who was taking a lunch break on the hotel bed, suddenly had a light in his dim eyes, and he pressed the record button. He must show off his secret elegantly later.

Jiang Chao looked at the stars, gently found the guitar melody, and started humming:

"I'll give you a song. Don't be sad. I'll come and play with you next year."

"The rest of my life

The wind and snow are you

Ordinary is you

You are also poor

Ronghua is you

The gentleness in my heart is you

Wherever the eyes go

It’s you too~~”

"No...no more..." Master Liu, who closed his eyes and was intoxicated, was stunned for a moment.

"I only sang half of the song. I'm used to it. I'll sing the full version to you next time in person."

"Maybe all good things are imperfect?"

"Yes, come on, come on, the future of Chaoshen Entertainment is in your hands. I'm going to bed first. Chatting with you is very healing. I'll chat with you next time I have insomnia."

"You can do it at any time. I wish you warm winters and a warm spring. Goodbye."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you probably have a good chat with my secretary."

Jiang Chao hung up the phone. There are always a few people who appear and make him feel that the world is worth it. Liu Yan was one of them at that time, and so were all the girls later. This world is so beautiful.

This made him feel that everything he did for them was worth it. In the rush of growing grass, he could have such a night to heal his soul and enjoy the beautiful scenery. He was so happy~
