Artest glanced at Zhang Hao's guardians on his left and right - Jia Dajun and Big Ben, and took the shopping bag handed over by the salesperson.
Artest carried large and small bags and followed Zhang Hao and the guardians on his left and right. Seeing that the hands of the three people were empty, he was almost full of things, and he could only swallow his grievances and tears in his stomach.
We arrived at a flagship store with two logos: ¡Ì and x, and were greeted by a manager-looking person.
"Ron, put your things down and follow him in."
"ah?"
"Didn't you say that your shoes don't fit? I'll make you a custom-made pair of shoes with the latest technology insoles."
"I¡¡"
"Go quickly, don't waste my time, I have to buy a gift for my daughter."
Artest, who had been aggrieved and sad just now, was now in an extremely complicated mood. He followed the store manager into the store, went up to the second floor to measure his feet, and did some basic tests.
Zhang Hao felt the change in Artest's mood and was very satisfied.
Give me a stick first, then a candy.
A clerk organized the large and small bags that Artest left at the door, and another clerk took Zhang Hao and the three of them in to sit down and rest.
Ben Wallace looked around and asked: "Boss, is this the brand you endorse?"
"no."
"But why are there all your posters here? And the logo of your English name?"
¡°This brand is mine, and I have exited a joint sub-brand with Nike.¡±
""
You shouldn¡¯t ask!
Ben Wallace feels that he still has to maintain the image of a cool guy, and he can't relax when his old teammate Jason Williams is around.
Zhang Hao made a pair of shoes for Artest. It was a small thing. Giving him an insole was also a small thing.
But after taking measurements and asking about the price, Artest silently hung the bags on his body when he returned to Zhang Hao and the others.
After accompanying Zhang Hao to buy children¡¯s toys, he returned to the arena, put the things in Zhang Hao¡¯s car, and Artest prepared to leave.
Zhang Hao thought of something and asked: "Ron, I heard that you can only train until three o'clock in the afternoon, but today you still delayed the training until the end. What's going on?"
¡°I found a job doing odd jobs.¡±
"Working? I remember you withdrew 60% of your salary in advance."
This time Artest didn¡¯t bite his tongue, he just smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Hao didn't ask any more questions. When Artest left, Zhang Hao discovered that withdrew 60% of his salary, which was 840,000 US dollars. The only thing Americans can't escape is the tax bureau and death. Even if they take the tax money and trusteeship After deducting 10% of his salary, he still got 380,000 to 390,000 US dollars. According to the urine of black players, he didn't even buy a car?
After Artest left, Jason Williams, who was well-informed through various gossips, said: "I heard that he had many friends in New York asking him to borrow money. I guess he was almost bankrupt at the beginning of his career."
"borrow?"
"Yes, probably the kind that won't be returned."
""
"He is now a star in the neighborhood where he grew up. Maybe he is saving face."
"Well, that's pathetic."
When Jason Williams and Ben Wallace heard this comment, they both nodded.
"It would be one thing if Artest took the initiative to give those people money, but it would be another thing if those people came to borrow money. Those black people at the bottom of society have always borrowed money based on their ability.
As for helping Artest? Zhang Hao, Jia Dawei, and Big Ben did not have this idea.
It is much better to let Artest feel the glory of humanity by himself than to help Artest.
???????????????? We just met, we haven¡¯t played together yet, so we can¡¯t even talk about being teammates.
Zhang Hao gave some small gifts, which was what the boss should do. As for other things, he wasn¡¯t that concerned.
¡¡
¡¡
Time passed day by day, and Zhang Hao did not train with the rookie all day like the first day. He went to practice in the morning, went home to practice defense in the afternoon, and spent time with his wife and children in the evening. There was also a little loli who often came to grab food and drinks. You can't evict her yet. Not to mention Meng, she is the landlord and threatens to raise the rent if she disagrees.
During the following period, Zhang Hao got to know a lot about several new teammates.
?????? Artest is a little more cowardly when facing someone like him, but at other times it¡¯s the same as before. Maybe he loses a fight and loses face. Occasionally he will go to Ben Wallace.?Is there something wrong with their brains? "
"Why, something big happened I am!"
"Aix, you can't say bad wordsfuxk"
"What's wrongshxt"
"Everyone in Zhang Hao's family who can talk is scolded!"
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the league's top ten, or the top five in the league, every year there will be a TV station.
There is also no team ranking. There are too many unexpected factors. Not every media can be as thick-skinned as ESPN in the future.
Team evaluation usually lists several championship-level teams, ranks them among the championship-level teams, and divides into playoff-level teams, No. 1 pick-level teams, etc.
But this year, Time Warner Cable Sports has created a "Championship Probability List" and "Regular Season Division Championship Probability List", which are actually the Eastern and Western Conference ranking prediction lists and the league-wide strength prediction list.
The defending champion Spurs are ranked first in the league and first in the Eastern Conference. There is nothing wrong with this.
The Lakers are ranked first in the Western Conference and second in the league. This ranking by Time Warner Cable Sports is also expected.
But it took Zhang Hao a long time to find their SuperSonics team.
Twelfth in the Western Conference! Twenty-fifth in the league!
¡¡
¡¡
On September 30, 1999, the SuperSonics officially announced that Zhang Hao would wear the No. 24 jersey for the new season.
Coincidentally, on September 30th, the Atlanta Hawks announced the signing of Michael Jordan for $10 million a year. Jordan is back!
Hawks star Lou Hudson attended the press conference for Jordan¡¯s joining and announced that he would give up the Hawks¡¯ retired No. 23 jersey to Jordan.
At this time, Zhang Hao put on the No. 24 jersey and was immediately contacted by Jordan.
What a coincidence, the Bulls announced the new season roster + training camp contract list today, and the jersey chosen by No. 1 pick Kobe Bryant is also No. 24!
Kobe Bryant did not say that the No. 24 jersey was related to Jordan, but he said that his goal is to become the best player in the history of the Bulls.
Zhang Hao originally refused to be interviewed, but Barkley came
"Akers, are you ready to surpass Jordan when you change your No. 24 jersey?"
"Mr. Buckley, that's not the case."
"no?"
"I didn't expect Mr. Jordan to come back. I changed the No. 24 jersey because we were ranked 25th this season. I wanted to know which 24 teams were better than us."
"I believe you, you idiot!"
I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
