The rise of basketball legends

"Come-on! That's a ten-million-dollar contract! Brother, don't give it to me!"

This was the first sentence Azubuke said after meeting Chen Yan on the second day of training.

Chen Yan's refusal of the tens of millions of contracts made the news. He is now a trafficker, and the media are keen to break all kinds of news about him.

"Haha, I'm just giving you the phone number of the brand." Chen Yan laughed.

Azubuike waved his hand: "Forget it, others don't want me, or don't say tens of millions, I am willing to speak for millions."

"I only want 50w." Little Jordan leaned his head over and said.

Chen Yan laughed when he saw this scene, the two of them could roll together in the fantasy world.

In fact, the main reason why Chen Yan refused Johnson Johnson's tens of millions of endorsements was not short of money.

Last year, the financial crisis swept the world, domestic and foreign housing prices plummeted, and financial assets also fell sharply. Many people dared not make a move. Chen Yan decisively controlled three investment companies in the United States, Hong Kong and the Mainland to buy the bottom of high-quality real estate in first-tier cities at home and abroad.

He started planning a year ago, and the three investment companies started planning when he entered the league.

Of course, Chen Yan is most concerned about Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin network generates new Bitcoins through mining.

The so-called mining is to use computers to solve a series of complex mathematical problems to ensure the consistency of the Bitcoin network distributed accounting system.

The Bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of the system, allowing the entire network to get an answer every 10 minutes, and then the Bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of Bitcoin as a block reward.

These rewards are given to those who unlock the answers.

On January 2009, 1, the Bitcoin Genesis block was born, and the block reward was 3 Bitcoins.

10 minutes after the birth of the Bitcoin creation block, the first batch of 50 Bitcoins was generated, and then Bitcoins increased at a rate of about 10 every 50 minutes. When the total amount reached 1050 million, the block reward was halved When the total amount reaches 25 million, the block reward will be cut in half to 1575.

Chen Yan found himself involved in the mining war. He hired mathematics elites in three investment companies in the mainland, Hong Kong and the United States. At the same time, he also paid attention to whether anyone sold bitcoins. In the name of the company, not an individual.

陈炎隐约记得2013年左右的时候比特币单价会飞升到8000美刀一个，到了2017年比特币疯涨的一年，最高值会达到20000美刀，2021年更是突破40000美刀。

And now a bitcoin costs less than 1 cent.

This is crazy!

Chen Yan couldn't think of anything more profitable than this.

Chen Yan did not reveal to many people that he was playing bitcoin, but only told some good teammates around him and Dayao.

But obviously they didn't take it to heart. After all, 1 dollar can buy 130 bitcoins. How could these rich NBA players invest in this thing?

I don't know if they will regret their decision in the future.

Chen Yan's two older brothers, Azubuike and Jr. Qiaodan, bought dozens of them for fun.

A few years later, this will be an income of about one million US dollars. Of course, Chen Yan will not tell them this, and even if he tells them, no one will believe it.

Chen Yan's investment scope is very wide, and he even plans to invest in a pizza restaurant in the near future.

Someone may ask, how much can a pizza shop earn?

In 2012, James funded a pizzeria called "Blaze" with an amount of US$100 million and obtained a 10% stake.In just five years, the business of this restaurant chain has been booming, and it has been rated as the fastest growing restaurant in the United States, with an estimated market value of $5 million.

烈焰披萨的品牌扩张速度是轰动的。2013年时其全网营业额仅为600万美元，2016年就达到了1.85亿美元。公司首席执行官认为至2022年，营业额目标为11亿美元！

Calculated, the value of James' shares in 2017 reached at least 2500 million U.S. dollars, plus his endorsement fees and dividends, the total amount reached 3500 million to 4000 million U.S. dollars, which means that his original investment has been multiplied by at least 35 times.

Chen Yan didn't understand pizza, but he opened the God View to find the owner of this pizza shop in advance. In 09, this pizza shop had just started, and they never thought that an NBA star like Chen Yan would contact them.

In his previous life, James invested 100 million dollars to take 10% of the shares of this pizza shop. Due to the different timing of entering, Chen Yan spent the same 100 million dollars to get 50% of the shares.

Anyway, he just uses all kinds of memories to invest, and uses money to make money.

Making money, business, is not shabby, after all, only by realizing the freedom of wealth can you play with peace of mind.

On January 1, after a three-day break, the Suns faced their old rival San Antonio Spurs at home.

At the beginning of the game, Duncan received a pass from Parker and made a 45-degree signature hit.

Fortunately, they adjusted their strategic deployment in time and strengthened the cooperation between each other. This change also achieved immediate results. In the next few rounds, the Suns patiently delivered opportunities and made consecutive shots.

"Compared with previous years, the biggest change in the Suns is mentality and adjustment ability. This is the impact of the championship on them." Van Gundy said.

"The players' minds are more mature, and now they face the game more like a winner." Mike Breen said.

As the two commentators said, the championship trophy brings more than just honor to the Suns. They have become accustomed to how to win and have become more resolute and thorough in implementing the running and bombing tactics.

In the past, running and bombing has always been a tactic that has been criticized by people. The theory that defense wins the championship has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Tactics are used to attract box office.

At the end of the first quarter, the Suns led by two points 26 to 24 with team play.

In the second quarter, Duncan still put a lot of pressure on the inside of the Suns. Stoudemire alone can't defend Duncan. If Duncan is double-teamed and he can immediately distribute the ball, he is the kind of insider with both golf intelligence and lethality.

However, every time Duncan scores, the Suns can respond. Their teamwork played very smoothly tonight, and the efficiency of positional warfare is not lower than that of running and bombing.

At halftime, the Suns extended their lead to 7 points.

The third quarter is the most intense quarter of the game. The Spurs want to catch up with the score before the start of the final quarter, while the Suns want to widen the point difference and take the game away. This is not the first time they have a wave in the third quarter this season. Take away the opponent.

The two teams collided so fiercely. In this quarter, Duncan was very resolute in receiving the ball in singles, Parker and Ginobili were also very tough in breakthroughs, and the Spurs focused on their success rate.

The Suns played a smooth offense under the organization of Nash, Chen Yan and Diaw, and these three can not only pass but also shoot, even the organizers can also be the finishers, which is the most troublesome for the Spurs.

最后凭借吉诺比利第三节最后1分钟的连拿6分，马刺在第三节结束时才将分差缩小至3分，不过第四节一上来太阳直接轰出一波7比2小高潮将分差拉开至两位数。

The Spurs withstood the pressure under the fire suppression of the Suns and the huge noise of the home fans. Duncan grabbed the board and then forced a tip-up. Parker made a small throw after the pick-and-roll. Under the leadership of the Spurs gradually keep up with the pace of the sun.

The competition soon reached the most intense stage!

With 1 minute and 32 seconds left in the game, the Spurs made a mistake in passing the ball!

However, the Suns failed to control the possession of the ball. Parker quickly picked up the ball with his sharp eyes and hands, and then turned around and shot!

"Shh!"

102:104.

Parker made a key three-pointer before the end of the 24-second shot clock!

The Suns were still patient at the critical moment. Nash didn't have a good chance after the pick-and-roll.

Diola went to the high position to cover for Nash. Nash turned around and returned to Dior through the pick-and-roll, and then ran to the inside without the ball. Dior passed back to Nash with a single hit.

The actions of the two attracted the Spurs' defensive attention. A behind-the-back pass from Nash's penalty area was passed to Chen Yan who ran beyond the bottom line and three-point line like eyes in the back of his head.

Chen Yan raised his sword and dropped it!

"Shh!"

Chen Yan and Nash completed the connection and scored a very crucial goal!

After 1 minute, neither side achieved anything. Nash made 4 of 3 free throws from the free throw line and completely shattered the Spurs' hope of a comeback.

102 to 110, the Suns won the game with a team-high 41 assists this season.

其中纳什一人贡献了17次助攻并且拿到20分，陈炎31分7助攻，迪奥拿到11分9篮板8助攻的准三双数据。

Nash said after the game when talking about the team's passing in this game: "We rotated the ball very smoothly tonight, which made every player on the court very threatening on the offensive end. When we play like this It is unavoidable."

"We played real team basketball tonight, and the team exploded under Steve," he said.

Chen Yan, who got the highest score in this game, put all the credit on Nash after the game, and his emotional intelligence has always been online.
