Chapter [-] The duel between the old and new league's top center!
It is believed that with the gradual opening of these stores and the increasing popularity and acceptance of Garfield's Pizza in the United States, the monthly profit will further increase.

At least so far, Xu Lang and Ben originally wanted to make a small fuss, and the plan to have a pizzeria with a revenue of tens of millions of dollars a year has been perfectly successful.

And when Xu Lang finished chatting with Ben and Uncle Li about the pizzeria, the little guys from the University of Washington Huskies team also came to Ben's house.

Of course, these little guys on the Huskies team were not called by Xu Lang and Ben, but Ben's younger brother.

Bryan, who was forced to play basketball by Xu Lang before, and finally entered the University of Washington by playing basketball that he didn't like at all.

Although, after Brian entered the Huskies team of the University of Washington, he didn't train much at all, and he didn't play much.

But Brian saw that his brother was doing business with NBA players like Xu Lang.

After the precedent of having fully achieved financial freedom.

He immediately focused on the University of Washington players who are well-known in the United States.

Especially Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook have been completely regarded by Brian as his golden legs to achieve financial freedom like his brother in the future.

And in order to hug these two golden thighs tightly, Brian has also spent a lot of thought in the past six months.

From time to time, I go to the team to serve as trainers for the two, that is, human-shaped obstacle boards!
As I said before, although Brian's basketball talent is not very good, it has reached the c-level.

Although Brian has been training hard for a period of time except when dealing with Xu Lang, he has never trained hard.

This has led to Brian's current basketball strength, let alone reaching the upper limit of talent, at most he has reached the D level in front of him.

Of course, it is impossible for Brian of this level of strength to get playing time in the current talented Huskies team!

But if it's just as a sparring partner for Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook, it's still fully qualified.

In addition to being time-consuming and laborious as a sparring partner for the two, Brian would also bring them some food and drink from time to time, and take the two of them to play crazy games in their spare time and so on.

And Brian has only one purpose in doing these things, and that is to build a good relationship with Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook within a year.

It's good to wait until the two enter the NBA, and then rely on their money to make money like Ben to achieve financial freedom.

Under Bryan's deliberate friendship, and Ben's return to the team's care from time to time, Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook also slowly became friends with Bryan, and also became friends. A regular at the house.

Originally, although the relationship between Curry, Russell and Bryan has improved, it is unlikely that the two of them will come to the house during Christmas, which is an important festival in the United States.

Only, because the Huskies had a game the day before Christmas Eve this year, plus Brian's kind invitation.

That's why Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook naturally came to our home for Christmas this year.

Brian did not expect that Xu Lang, a busy man who has been popular all over the United States recently, would return to his home for Christmas on this day.

Then happily brought Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook back to Bryan at home.

I just saw the figure who gritted his teeth and scolded me countless times in the first half of 2006.

"Hi! Brian!"

Xu Lang looked at Brian, who had an ugly face, and deliberately teased him.

To Xu Lang and Ben, Brian is now like a child in the rebellious period.

And because he was too strictly controlled by his elder brother and parents since he was a child, he now wants to make up his own mind and do something on his own.

What's more, Brian's inner entanglement is that he wants to do something, but he doesn't want to rely on his family's relationship and background.

But Brian didn't think about it either. Without his family relationship and background, Xu Lang and others wouldn't cooperate with Ben!
Also without Uncle Li's help, Ben would not be a successful person now, but would have achieved financial freedom!

It is even possible that the original status that can be equal to Xu Lang and the others will be affected to a certain extent.

After all, although Xu Lang and others are not fickle people.

However, as the income gap and social status gap between the two parties became larger and larger.

Unknowingly, due to different lifestyles and different circles of life, there will be a certain distance between Xu Lang and others and Ben, creating some barriers!

In fact, it's like now that Brian can maintain such a good relationship with Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Wang Sihua, etc., players with NBA potential in the future of the Huskies.

To a large extent, it's not because Brian's brother is Ben, and Ben has a good relationship with Xu Lang, Yi Jianlian and others, and he will go back to the Huskies to say hello to Curry and the others at any time!

Otherwise, with basketball genius players like Russell Westbrook and Stephen Curry.

For Bryan, he doesn't like playing basketball very much, and his basketball talent is average. , and people who don't have particularly strong personal abilities in the things they have shown now are actually not very attractive.

Even if they become friends with Brian, there is a high probability that they are just some wine and meat friends!
It doesn't mean to be eye-catching, it's just that people are divided into groups, and like attracts like.

"By the way, Brian, I heard from Coach Romar that you haven't even been training recently.

I also heard from Professor Galina that you go to class now and then, so be careful when you turn around, because you can’t graduate if you fail a course. "

"I can tell you, if you can't enter the NBA during college, and you can't get a final degree diploma from the University of Washington, those things you think are impossible to achieve."

After hearing Xu Lang's words, Brian's expression changed, and he looked at Xu Lang angrily!

Seeing Brian's ugly face, Xu Lang chuckled again.

"You don't need to look at me with that expression, you don't need me to exert strength then.

Do you think one is incompetent?Can you be trusted by some people without enough capital? "

In fact, Xu Lang can tell from Bryan's operation after entering the University of Washington, what is the purpose of this guy contacting Curry and Russell now!

It's just that it's not so easy to realize your dream of being rich like Ben by taking Curry and Russell's money and making money!
There was at least one problem that hitting Bryan couldn't solve right now.

Ben was able to enter Xu Lang's project and become one of the initiators.

The very important reason is that after four years of continuous study and research, Ben already has sufficient abilities in the fields of economics and management, and has also been recognized by Xu Lang and others!

Otherwise, even if Xu Lang, Yi Jianlian and others had enough trust in Ben, it would be impossible for them to trust such a large project and hand it over to Ben without asking.

After all, the initial capital of the project itself is close to tens of millions.

Xu Lang looked at Bryan, who was lost in thought after listening to his words. After meeting Ben's eyes, he turned around and pulled Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook, who were a little dazed, into the living room.

"Brother Lang, is it possible that you really don't care about Brian?"

Stephen Curry scratched his head, looked at Xu Lang and said.

"That's right, Brother Lang, Brian has been doing pretty well recently, isn't it a little too harsh to treat him like this?"

Russell Westbrook, a man of temperament, also pleaded for Brian.

Although since entering the University of Washington, Brian has begun to let himself go.

Classes are only taken occasionally, and exams are just a surprise before the exam, just ask for a pass and pass.

As for the basketball team, apart from taking into account Xu Lang and Ben's reasons in the first two weeks of school, Brian trained hard for a period of time.

After that, I haven't been to the basketball team to train much. I went to the basketball team mainly to pull the basketball team players out to play. Going out crazy is good for good relationships.

But for players like Russell Westbrook and Stephen Curry who value friendship, Bryan is definitely a good playmate!
So if there is a chance in the future, Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook don't mind investing some money in Bryan to let him break through.

"Hey, I'm just scaring him. Besides, I can't decide your affairs. You can do whatever you want, and you don't need to care about my or other people's opinions."

"Besides, I'm not wrong. You may still give Bryan a chance to invest once or twice, but if he fails to invest more times, you won't be able to use your own money for nothing. !"

Seeing that he gradually began to agree with the two cubs, Xu Lang didn't want to say anything more.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, the recent adjustments are okay?

Especially you, Stephen, I heard that after the last game, you have begun to return to the training state of the offseason. "

Seeing that Stephen Curry's overall strength has reached the peak of the c-plus level, and will break through to the level of a b-level player at any time, Xu Lang said with some relief.

Hearing Xu Lang's praise, Stephen Curry's cute face immediately became full of arrogance.

"That's who I am! I'm Stephen Curry, a player who will be the No. 2007 pick in [-]."

"Oh, how did I hear that the No. [-] pick on the major lists recently is either Oden or Russell?"

"It seems that you, Stephen, haven't entered the ranks of the No. [-] pick for a while."

"That is, that is, this group of media has no vision."

Stephen Curry said anxiously after hearing Ben's ridicule.

Xu Lang looked at Stephen Curry, who was pulled and teased by Ben, first shook his head, then looked at Russell Westruk, who looked very calm beside him, and touched his head.

"Well, you've played well recently!"

After a lot of noise, several people finally gathered in the living room of the family and began to watch this year's NBA Christmas game.

There is only one game in the NBA's Christmas game this year. I don't know if it is an ambitious test.

After all, the ratings of the NBA's Christmas game since last year, although there is still some gap compared with the ratings of the super wrist of American football, the number one sport in the United States.

But it has also become the second most watched holiday event in all sports in the United States!

This is also an important way to promote this year's NBA Christmas game, which is to benchmark the super wrist.

In order to benchmark against the super wrist, the opponents of the Christmas game arranged by the NBA this year are also carefully selected.

They are the 2006 championship team, the Heat, and this year's No. [-] team in the Western Conference, the Rockets, the No. [-] team in the league.

As for the NBA's official publicity for this game, it is about the handover of the new and old No. [-] center and the rise of the fifth largest shooting guard.

The handover of new and old centers is easy to understand, it is the duel between Yao Ming and O'Neal.

Although starting from this season, O'Neal's average data and season performance are not as good as Yao Ming.

But O'Neal is undoubtedly still the super center second only to Yao Ming in the current league, and he is also the No. [-] center in the Eastern Conference.

Especially in mid-December, when the Heat led by O'Neal faced the Magic led by Howard, who wanted to be the number one center in the Eastern Conference.

After O'Neal directly smashed Howard head-on, it allowed O'Neal to continue to maintain his position as the number one center in the Eastern Conference.

And after entering December, I don't know if it was the stimulation of Pat Riley's trade, or the stimulation of Yao Ming being more and more recognized as the league's number one center.

O'Neal's game state and weight also began to adjust.

At the beginning of the game, O'Neal's weight once reached 160 kg. By December, O'Neal's weight had gradually dropped below 12 kg!
O'Neal, who is gradually recovering, still retains the prestige of the former league's top center, and continued to average 12 plus 25 in the game in December.

That is to say, O'Neal's recovery data performance in December made this game, the duel between O'Neal and Yao Ming a little more interesting!
Otherwise, judging from the performance of O'Neill being directly hammered by Yao Ming in the previous game, no one recognized the name of Yao Sha duel in this game.

Except that the duel between O'Neill and Yao Ming is a hot spot.

The second is the hot collision between Dwyane Wade, the Heat's important contributor to the championship last season, and the Rockets' unrecognized second-in-command player, Tracy McGrady, one of the top four.

Following LeBron James' poor performance in the opening game against Xu Lang this season.

David Stern began trying to find a new generation of young American player leaders, and among them Dwyane Wade was the player that David Stern first targeted.

And this season Dwyane Wade has indeed lived up to David Stern's training.

So far this season, Dwyane Wade is averaging 41.2 minutes per game.

Averaged 29.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 2.6 steals and 0.4 blocks per game.

The total shooting rate is as high as 51.2%, and the three-point shooting rate is slightly lower, but it also has a level of 35%.

If it weren't for the Heat this season, facing the Rockets and other Western Conference championship-level teams, Wade would definitely be one of the most popular American players in this All-Star Game.

Of course, Dwyane Wade's All-Star votes are also very high now.

It is only behind Xu Lang and LeBron James, and the difference in votes between LeBron James is only 10 votes.

If Dwyane Wade can perform extremely well against the Rockets and McGrady in this Christmas game, the gap of 10 votes will easily be made up.

Of course, for Xu Lang, who has now doubled the number of votes and killed Dwyane Wade and LeBron James.

Wade has no hope of overtaking.

That is, the duel between these two groups of new and old inside and outside players, coupled with the league's overwhelming announcements, has led to this year's Christmas game receiving more attention than any Christmas game in NBA history.

Especially since there was only one game in this year's NBA Christmas Game, fans who might have been diverted due to multiple games were all concentrated in this game.

"Adam, it looks like next year we can start that plan."

David Stern looked at the ratings of today's Christmas match that hadn't officially started, and joked to his assistant Adam standing beside him with joy.

"Yeah, it's just that the president has been arguing in the American media these days. How should we deal with the threat of Chinese players?"

David Stern put down the coffee in his hand, and looked at Adam Joke slowly.

"Adam, do you think Chinese basketball can really threaten American basketball?
The basketball foundation gap between the two is huge.

Although relying on several excellent basketball players such as Xu Lang, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian, Chinese basketball will have a good record in the world basketball world in the next ten to 20 years, but what about when these players get old? "

"So take a long-term view and don't care about the blindness of those media who believe that wind is rain.

Now the most important job of the NBA is to expand the influence of the NBA on a global scale as much as possible. "

"This means that not only the Chinese players like Xu Lang, but also Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol and other excellent international players.

We should all try our best not to say that we must support them, but we must also create a fair public opinion environment for them. "

Listening to David Stern's instruction, Adam Joke blinked, and nodded after thinking for a few seconds.

"By the way, we can start looking for it recently. We have contacted several large-scale sports venues before. Maybe we can try the large-scale stadium plan in this year's finals."
