Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

On February 15, 2013, the NBA All-Star Weekend of this season was held in Houston.

The All-Star Game has become a very important commercial and entertainment activity in the NBA since the earliest, gathering stars from the east and west to play a friendly match and sell tickets.

On the 14th, NBA players, coaches, and staff came to Houston with their families and friends to participate in this entertainment event.

Li Liang, Zhu Shu, Bai Xiaoting and Wei Dazhi arrived in Houston together and stayed in a hotel near the George Brown Center.

It was the first time for Li Liang to participate in the All-Star Game, and Li Liang was still a little excited.

On the plane to Houston, Li Liang finally finished the task of [basic dribbling].

Of course, he received many calls.

Finally completed the task and got a useful and good prop.

Although it can only be used for informal competitions, it is still quite interesting.

On the second day, February 15th, today is the first day of the All-Star Game. The stars have just arrived, but they are about to get busy.

All-Star Weekend is a day of rest and play for ordinary players.

But for the stars, they have to work and contribute to the promotion of the NBA.

James Harden, Westbrook went to the George Brown Center, where the Masters will be played.

Some famous non-basketball professionals, like Bolt, and retired old players, like Elliott, Bowen, etc., are all from Texas.

Harden is the coach of the Celebrities in the West, while Westbrook is the coach of the East.

All in all it was a fun game.

Top players in the league like James and Kobe will undoubtedly be sent to develop youth fan resources.

The NBA has always attached great importance to the cultivation of young fans, starting from the baby, and constantly providing fresh blood for the most important foundation of the NBA.

Therefore, as the most influential players, Kobe and James participated in the youth basketball training camp together to guide the youth fans in Houston to train and fight.

I don't know if there will be a future star among them.

In addition, there are some media meeting activities, community care activities and so on.

Anyway, in the All-Star Game, the bigger the wrist, the greater the responsibility.

And what about Li Liang?

He was called by someone from the NBA Player Development Center in the morning, telling him to go to class!

Li Liang was surprised, people come to the All-Star game to participate in activities and show off, why should I go to class?

He didn't know until he got to the class where most rookies in the NBA have to take courses-about career planning and financial management.

It turns out that there are many players in the NBA. After entering the league, they got a lot of money at once, got rid of the poor life in the past, and started to make great achievements.

But the NBA is very cruel, and the elimination rate is very high. Some players can't play after playing for a few years. When they are eliminated, their income plummets.

Even if he is not eliminated, an NBA player can have a career of more than ten years at most, which is already very long.

Most of it is only five or six years, and the money saved in five or six years will be spent in the second half of life.

If you follow the way of ordinary people, that life is enough.

But I am used to the days of spending money like water, raising a car, raising a woman and raising an illegitimate child, how can I "support my family" without income.

So some players quickly fell into economic crisis after retiring, bankrupt bankrupt, down and out.

For example, Antoine Walker is an All-Star after all, with a career income of over 100 million.

As a result, he went bankrupt within a few years of retiring.

If you get involved in drugs and gambling again, the rate of degeneration will be even faster.

Therefore, in order to allow young players to develop good career planning and financial management habits, the NBA uses the opportunity of the All-Star Game every year to give financial management lessons to rookies in need.

Just like the previous mental health class.

Li Liang didn't know why he came to this kind of place for class.

His financial situation is very healthy, and he has a tractor guarantee, so what is he afraid of?

Those present were all low-ranked players in the 2012 draft, as well as some short-contract and non-draft players who signed up for themselves.

Li Liang is particularly eye-catching among them, because he is an All-Star.

But since you've been called, let's just listen.

Li Liang listened well at first, but when the lecturers finished speaking, Li Liang also started to speak.

"Let me tell you, you have made money, don't go drinking, buying a car, it's useless, meaningless. You just buy a house! Where can you buy a house? Not in Los Angeles, not in New York, you are going to buy a house in China! You are in China When buying a house, you can’t afford to lose money. You can’t be fooled. Buy one set and earn one set, and buy two sets and earn one pair. Put them there to increase value. Stocks, funds, and insurance are not as good as our Chinese houses! Go to Shanghai, go to Beijing, go to Hong Kong..."

Li Liang didn't forget to brag when he came out to take a financial management class, and he didn't forget to attract investment to the motherland and contribute to the real estate business.

Apart from bragging about real estate, Li Liang's other suggestions are still acceptable.

He knows a little about investment, and he can talk nonsense.

The financial analysts who taught them were a little speechless. When I asked later, this was the Bruce Lee who was "overly optimistic and lacked social beatings" in psychological tests.

Li Liang's bragging was very enjoyable, and after the class was over, a few rookies came over and struck up a conversation with Li Liang, wanting to know more.

The All-Star Game is actually a social opportunity for players to make friends with each other.

I usually fight on my own in each team, and they are enemies when they meet.

Only this time is a good opportunity to party and play.

In summer, you can call friends and practice ball everywhere.

Li Liang just beat the Clippers in the game, and his prestige and fame reached a new high.

Now no one is saying that Li Liang's All-Stars came at a wrong time.

After the Masters, the game continued at the George Brown Center, this time with the Rookie Challenge.

The two sides are Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley.

The outstanding rookies in the first and second grades all participated in this duel.

Of course, Li Liang is not included, this product is now the All-Star starter!

So he sat in the stands watching the rookie challenge, like a celebrity.

In the end, Charles Barkley's team beat O'Neal's team 163:135, Kenny Faried scored 40 points and was honored as the best player.

After the game, at night, there are more activities in Houston.

For example, Jeremy Lin held a Jeremy Lin Foundation inauguration party and invited many people from the basketball industry to participate.

Of course Li Liang attended as a Chinese, and he also met Yao Ming at the party.

This time at the home court, Yao Ming will of course have to attend various activities, and he is busy going around.

Li Liang was still very excited to see Yao Ming. Standing in front of Yao Ming, Li Liang felt like a child.

After retiring, Yao Ming has gained weight and is bigger than before.

In short, on the first day of the All-Star Weekend, Li Liang met many people and participated in many activities.

The moment of his real performance has yet to come.
