077: Continuous road trip

On February 2005, 2, Los Angeles had passed through the coldest period of time, and there was already a trace of warmth climbing up people's bodies.On this day, Qin Tao and his Lakers boarded a plane to Houston, where they will start five consecutive road trips before the All-Star Game.

Today, Qin Tao is in a good mood, and the Lakers players are also in high spirits. They are having a good chat while playing cards.Looking at the slowly shrinking ground with a smile on his face, Qin Tao's chest was full of pride. "Sooner or later, I will become the hero of this city, and the NBA will usher in a dynasty belonging to the Zijin Army, an unshakable dynasty!" '

After playing the Spurs, he had a few days to rest. In those few days, what Qin Tao gained was not only the recognition of him as a "famous coach" by most of the media.Instead, Tian Yu helped him sign commercial endorsement contracts with several companies, which made him worth more than ten million in the past few days.

First of all, Qin Tao signed a three-year, 500 million contract with Armani. Although Armani has the right to terminate the contract, will Qin Tao let them terminate it easily?As long as their performance in leading the team does not decrease and their commercial value does not decrease, unless they are stupid, they will definitely not terminate this contract.But since signing the endorsement contract with Armani, Qin Tao's whole body has become Armani's stuff.

Before going out, he sprayed Armani perfume, wore Armani watches and Armani leather shoes, and even the sunglasses he used to wear since he came to Los Angeles have become the Armani brand.Everything in Qin Tao's body belongs to Armani. This may be the only disadvantage after signing the contract!But thinking of the only disadvantage, Qin Tao smiled obscenely. He took the Italians paid him more than 1000 million US dollars a year, and wore the latest styles of products they provided for free. Where did he find such a cheap price in the past? go?

Not only did Armani provide a head-to-toe suit, Qin Tao's car was also provided by someone.Ford, waving a check of 600 million, pulled the latest model car, and found Qin Tao.They asked Qin Tao to endorse their Mazda.It would be a fool to disagree with such a good thing, but people also have requirements.They asked Qin Tao to get an American driver's license this summer, of course Qin Tao has no objection to this.Soon, Qin Tao signed an endorsement contract with Ford.With an endorsement contract of 600 million a year, Qin Tao's annual income from the commercial contract between Ford and Armani alone is 600 million.

After playing the Spurs, Qin Tao took a lot of promotional photos and advertisements for these two companies during the few days of rest.This makes Qin Tao's limited time even more crowded, but these things are all money!For dollars, everything is worth it.

'Will a real estate agent ask me to endorse and provide me with a house? 'I don't know why such an idea suddenly appeared in Qin Tao's mind.Delusional thinking that he was crazy/ill, all Qin Tao could do was shake his head with a wry smile. 'It seems that I was really poor and crazy before, but I will be rich in the future!With an income of more than 2000 million US dollars a year, quack!What do you think?When I return to Shanghai in the summer, I will buy a dozen or twenty houses, we are not short of money! '

Thinking of the house, Qin Tao suddenly thought of just graduating from university. At that time, his own small dilapidated house was rented to others and the contract expired for three months. He wondered whether to rent a one-room house outside to spend these three months.If the rented house is comfortable to live in and the rent is less than that of the small crappy house, then I will keep renting it.After three months, I will rent out my small broken house with one bedroom and one living room, so that I can earn a few hundred yuan more a month.He was right to think so, but he went to several agencies in a row and found a suitable house, but the rent was a bit high, and Qin Tao was also very angry.The faces of those intermediaries became uglier than each other, as if Qin Tao owed none of them 100 million.

Thinking of these and thinking that I am rich now, I don't know why, a kind of carefree feeling arises spontaneously.Qin Tao touched his nose and smiled wryly in his heart, "It seems that money is really not a good thing!"The root of all evil! ’ But then he thought, diabolically, ‘But we just like the root of all evil.In the summer, when my brother returns home, he will settle down with his parents and enjoy the peace and happiness.Well, I can't wait until the summer. After the All-Star Weekend, I will let Zhang Jie handle this matter.If they want to come to the United States, I will take them together. If they don't want to, I will pay for them to find a language translator in X country, and accompany them to travel around the world! '

Thinking of his parents from the business contract, Qin Tao himself admired his own thinking, but he also felt that he was in the United States, and it seemed that it was not enough to send some RMB to his parents every week! 'Call home often to chat with mom!The phone bill is really nothing. '

……

To be honest, Qin Tao's thinking is really jumpy enough, and any messy things can appear in his mind.When the plane landed in Houston, Qin Tao had just recovered.

When he arrived in Houston, Qin Tao suddenly thought that there was another Chinese here——Yao Ming.But it is destined that Qin Tao will not be able to see Yao Ming at the Toyota Center this time. Last week Yao Ming said that he missed a week due to injury, and the game against the Lakers happened to be the last game of Yao Ming's truce.Reluctantly, this time the Lakers can meet only one genius not weaker than Kobe at the Toyota Center, known as the most talented swingman in the league-Trace McGrady.

That night the team arrived at the hotel where they were staying. After a night's rest, they will go to the Toyota Center to start a battle with the Houston Rockets.Because of Yao Ming's absence, the "Chinese Derby" that has been widely concerned by the Chinese media cannot be staged, but fortunately, the Lakers will meet the Rockets at home this season. At that time, a "Chinese Derby" between players and coaches will definitely be staged .

When he came to his room, Qin Tao prepared to simulate tomorrow's game with PSP.When he clicked on the "opponent profile", he was stunned.Although Van Gundy, the head coach of the Rockets, is a person who advocates defense extremely, Houston has a swingman with the most powerful offensive power in the league, and the league's two scoring champions-Tracey McGrady.

Such a lineup should not be underestimated. With a strong defense like concrete and a sharp knife that can cut everything, such a team is terrible.What made Qin Tao even more troublesome was that, in the opponent's information provided by the controller, the status of Rocket One: fiery, threat index: six...
