The day after the game against the Knicks, newspapers across the country made headlines, all of which were about the game between the Trail Blazers and the Knicks:

Anthony scored 39 points and 11 rebounds, a victory is hard to come by!

Wang Zelin scored 31 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks to help the Trail Blazers capture the Knicks and win their fourth consecutive victory!

For a time, the Trail Blazers won four consecutive victories, temporarily surpassing the Spurs, Heat, and Timberwolves, who had won three consecutive games to start the season. The news that their record ranking rose to first in the league once again became a hot topic among all fans.

Wait, a husky gets mixed in here from time to time...

The fact is that the Huskies, ah no, Kevin Love, the core of the Timberwolves, has shown unimaginable "dominance" since the start of the game.

In the first game against the Magic, Kevin Love played 41 minutes, making 8 of 19 shots, 3 of 8 three-pointers, and 12 of 16 free throws. He scored a massive double-double of 31 points and 17 rebounds, helping the team defeat 120:115.

magic.

In the second game against the Thunder, the entire Thunder team felt cold. Durant, the team leader, scored only 13 points out of 11 in the game. The last time Durant scored less than this number in a single game was 671 days ago.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves' three main players, Kevin Love, Nicolas Pekovic, and Ricky Rubio, all had double-doubles.

Love had 24 points and 12 rebounds, Pekovic had 15 points and 10 rebounds, Spanish golden boy Rubio had 14 points and 10 assists, and the Timberwolves defeated the Thunder with an absolute advantage of 19 points, 100:81.

The third opponent was the Knicks. Love and Kevin Martin combined to score 64 points and 18 rebounds, easily defeating the Knicks and winning three consecutive games.

Li Liyuan’s score!

In the fourth game, the Timberwolves' opponent was the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Timberwolves fans unanimously believe that this game is definitely a sure win. After all, compared with their opponents in the previous three games, the Cavaliers are at the bottom of the weak Eastern Conference.

The Timberwolves play one day later than the Trail Blazers.

On the morning of November 8, when Timberwolves fans were happily preparing to welcome the news of the team's fourth consecutive victory, they received bad news.

Success is also a blessing, failure is also a blessing.

On the night of the 7th, the team's core Kevin Love made 8 of 20 shots from the field, including 0 of 7 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throws. He lived up to the Wolf King's bravery in the previous three games.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Cavaliers teammate, Ou Shenxian, is here.

Although 38.9 seconds before halftime, the Timberwolves chased the score to 92:93; even though Irving missed a layup with 1.9 seconds left...

However, Love seemed to be impressed by Ou Shenxian's temperament. He didn't choose two points and insisted on shooting three. The result was naturally a naked blacksmith.

When Love missed his seventh and final three-pointer of the game, the Timberwolves lost to the Cavaliers 92:93. The three-game winning streak at the start of the dream ended, and the Cavaliers also ended their previous two games.

Losing streak.

Played 33 minutes, made 7 of 15 field goals, 1 of 3 three-pointers, scored 15 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal... and an eye-catching 9 turnovers for Kyrie Irving, who was almost a quadruple-double.

Be the best in the game.

Wang Zelin's villa.

The early morning light shines in through the gaps in the curtains, reflects on the floor, reflects on the bed, and shines right into Wang Zelin's eyes.

He breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes. At this moment...

"Hmm~"

Reina snorted in her arms. The chill after the morning rain in Portland made her move, and she subconsciously leaned into Wang Zelin's arms again, just to seek a bit of warmth.

"Hiss~"

Hey, this won't work.

Wang Zelin gently pulled out his arm, leaned over and kissed Reina's forehead, then slowly sat up from the bed.

After being in a daze for 3 to 5 minutes as usual, he found his slippers and stood up. Wang Zelin immediately felt a slight backache and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Fortunately, I endured it. There is a back-to-back game on the 7th today... I'd better not play tonight's game.

Alas, he didn't understand Brother Deng's happiness before, but he thought he understood it.

Now that he understood Brother Deng's happiness, he slowly began to regret it.

Fortunately, we are strong enough, otherwise we would have been corrupted by the evil capitalism.

After drinking a large glass of cold water, Wang Zelin felt better. After leaning over and covering Reina with a quilt, Wang Zelin went to the bathroom to wash up.

As he went downstairs, he muttered: "You said that she would prepare breakfast in the future, but it turned out that I didn't do it myself."

This action is not the other's action!

Since we live in a capitalist society, we must do as the Romans do. Why do things you can do with money yourself?

After a phone call, breakfast will be delivered to your door in about 10 minutes... Well, it's definitely not because Wang Zelin is not confident in his craftsmanship.

I picked up my phone and browsed yesterday's game news.

After watching the game between the Timberwolves and the Cavaliers, he was still confused.

Why did Love choose to take three shots and not try to score two points at the last moment? Could it be that he thought that he had sacrificed 6 times in exchange for the last hit.

How about playing?

When the best pick of the game was selected, Wang Zelin couldn't help but feel sorry for the eight-sage king who had a double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds, and then looked at his 5-for-13 shooting percentage.

An insider actually achieved such a hit rate...

Forget it, these two guys are just a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes, both of them are very smart.

…

afternoon.

"Zelin, there is good news."

A call from agent Zhou Yang.

"Money comes again?"

Wang Zelin smiled.

"...The guess is really accurate!" Zhou Yang was also happy, and then asked: "Does Volvo know?"

"What the hell?"

Wang Zelin was confused.

However, he always felt that he had heard it somewhere and it sounded familiar.

Zhou Yang didn't sell it, and said directly: "It's the car brand endorsed by Jeremy Lin."

"oh……"

After saying this, Wang Zelin suddenly remembered.

Starting from February 5, 2012, "Linsanity" swept the world at a viral speed. As the biggest beneficiary, Jeremy Lin's commercial value soared overnight.

According to a report by the New York Post, during those days, Jeremy Lin’s agent Montgomery received more than 1,000 emails expressing intentions for commercial contracts every day, and there were many endorsements worth millions of dollars.

According to "Global Entrepreneur", although Volvo did not disclose the specific endorsement fee, Jeremy Lin's endorsement contract may reach 4 million yuan over two years.

This is the first personal endorsement contract signed by Jeremy Lin on a global scale after he became famous. The significance is particularly outstanding. In order to include it in its account, Volvo has also paid great sincerity.

Such a contract is beyond the reach of many All-Star players who have played in the NBA for many years, but it only took Jeremy Lin 7 games to reach a height that has been beyond their reach throughout their careers.

Let’s compare it with the famous 58 spokesperson Chris Paul.

In the original time and space 2014 NBA total income ranking, Paul ranked tenth on the list. His total income that year was 22.7 million yuan, but 18.7 million yuan of it came from salary, and only 4 million yuan was from endorsement contracts.

.

With such a comparison, we can clearly see how much of a sensation Linsanity caused in the past 12 years on a global scale?

People in the world always chase fame and fortune, and it’s not without reason.

"Don't they have Jeremy Lin? Why are they looking for me?" Wang Zelin was still confused.

"Volvo also didn't expect that just one year later, Jeremy Lin's position in the Mosaic team would become so embarrassing. Moreover, they only signed Jeremy Lin for two years. Once this season is over, they will need a new spokesperson."

"So they approached me."

"Yes, Volvo hopes you will become their next global spokesperson. In 2011, the Volvo S60 was officially launched in the Chinese market. They originally signed Jeremy Lin with this consideration in mind. But now Jeremy Lin's strength has declined seriously, and you happen to be there again

Now, who is the better choice?"

Zhou Yang said excitedly.

"Sounds good."

Wang Zelin said happily.

Generally speaking, NBA stars are not like domestic CBA stars. They are involved in many fields, such as the entertainment industry, the automotive industry, functions, beverages, and even real estate.

Relatively speaking, the endorsements of domestic stars are still relatively simple, and most of them are concentrated on sports brands, which also reflects that there is indeed a lot of room for improvement in the development of domestic basketball.

If many companies still had a wait-and-see attitude during his rookie season, then when Wang Zelin still maintained a high level of performance in his second year, many world-renowned brands could no longer sit still.

Last year, he signed contracts with many brands, but few first-line brands and top brands. Not long after the start of this year, he received a global endorsement invitation from Volvo, which was unprecedented.

This means that Wang Zelin’s global influence is becoming valuable.

Remember, in the 2014 NBA star total income rankings, Kobe and James ranked first and second, with 64.5 million and 61.1 million respectively. It can be said that they are in the only category, surpassing Rose, who ranked third with a total income of 38.6 million.

It is even said that James’s endorsement contract alone has reached 42 million yuan, which is more than Rose and Durant, who ranked fourth with a total income of 31.8 million yuan.

It should be noted that as of the 2013~2014 season, only 6 people had a total annual income exceeding 30 million. James’ income from endorsement contracts alone has already made everyone despair.

The first person in the league, for sure!

Not only does it have to be the best in the league in terms of strength, but it also has to be top-notch in terms of attracting money.

Next, Wang Zelin only needs to prepare for the war with peace of mind, and the specific discussions on Volvo's global endorsement will be left to Zhou Yang and his management team.

"Rena, breakfast is on the table. I'm going to report to the team. Remember to watch the game in the evening."
