Since their 25th consecutive victory, the Kings' winning streak has not been interrupted.
It goes on and on.
26 consecutive wins!
27 consecutive wins!!
The entire league is speculating on who will interrupt the Kings' winning streak.
Will they be the second-best Grizzlies in the West?
Or the second-best Heat in the Eastern Conference?
Or...the Nuggets, who have been on a hot streak with their recent 7-game winning streak.
Gradually, the time came to December 30th.
Today is James' birthday.
Today, James turns 40 years old.
He entered the league at the age of 18 and is now a veteran who has played in the league for 22 seasons.
Early that morning, Wang Yi ran 10 kilometers and came to the arena. He saw that the whole team was busy, from the team owner Ranadive to the team staff, all working for James.
Birthday preparations.
Generally, when a player in the team celebrates his birthday, although the team will be prepared, it will never be as grand as today.
As a veteran who has served in the league for 22 seasons, James has won numerous honors. As the number one player in the league, he has dominated the league for ten years.
Even the league officials produced a documentary "The Ageless King, Chasing Greatness" specifically for James' 40th birthday today.
From morning to noon, the documentary has been viewed more than 200,000 times.
Many players, managers, owners and celebrities have expressed their blessings to James through videos, pictures or text.
The Kings naturally want to make it more grand for him.
Mitchell walked over mysteriously holding two wooden boxes and came to Wang Yi mysteriously.
Opening the wooden box, I saw two bottles of red wine inside.
Based on Wang Yi’s knowledge of red wine, he took a cursory look.
Two bottles of very good vintage Bordeaux red wine.
Each of these two bottles of red wine is worth more than $100,000.
Wang Yi shook his head slightly: "It's a bit expensive."
Although Mitchell can get millions of dollars every season, this guy is lavish and his daily expenses are not small.
Adding in his broker's commission, tax deductions, and miscellaneous expenses, it would be pretty good if he could save more than $100,000 in the last year.
As a result, this guy actually gave James more than $100,000 in red wine.
Mitchell smiled and said to Wang Yi: "Boss, others give gifts, but I call this investment."
Wang Yi nodded, "This is Mitchell's style."
This guy has always hugged his thighs whenever he encountered them.
He had himself before, but now he had James's thick thigh, so he naturally wanted to hug it.
For this guy, thighs are never too much.
James is not short of money, and giving him a car or a house will not arouse much interest in James, but James loves red wine the most, and no matter how much he gives him, he will never be too much, so this guy Mitchell does what he likes.
.
Michelle took out another bottle of red wine: "Boss, this bottle is for you."
Wang Yi glared at him: "It's LeBron's birthday, what the hell are you giving me as a gift?"
Mitchell smiled: "Boss, you are my dearest good boss. Since I gave LeBron red wine, of course I can't leave it without yours. After all, I also want to get the rain and dew equally. It's not just LeBron's birthday.
I will prepare a double copy of your gift for anyone in the team’s birthday in the future. Just stick to it.”
Wang Yi was not polite when he heard this, and directly picked up the bottle of red wine: "You guys have learned Chinese very well recently."
"Hey, boss, isn't this just to make it easier for me to communicate with you? If you don't learn this, you won't know. Once you learn it, you will be shocked. Chinese culture is really broad and profound. Just take 'f*ck' as an example. Just two simple words
A word, different pronunciations can read 8 different emotions..."
As a licking dog, this guy Mitchell has reached a certain level of licking.
Although Wang Yi knew that this guy was licking, he had to admit that it was still very comfortable for this guy to lick.
Of course, Mitchell is still very loyal to Wang Yi, and he will never be vague about what he is asked to do. Moreover, if he encounters an opponent on the court who dares to offend Wang Yi, and it is not convenient for Wang Yi to do so, he will do the same.
Stand up immediately to safeguard the dignity of the boss.
In fact, Wang Yi doesn’t care about red wine or anything like that.
He is not a heavy drinker either.
Gu Su
He generally doesn't pay much attention to material things. The only thing he values ​​​​is fighting.
But since Mitchell gave it away, he would accept it.
Mitchell asked Wang Yi again: "Boss, what gifts have you prepared?"
Paul and Anthony also turned to look at Wang Yi?
Each of them has prepared a gift, but until now I have not seen what gift Wang Yi has prepared, which is very strange.
Mitchell came close to Wang Yi's ear and whispered: "Boss, if you are not prepared, I will prepare a gift for you."
Wang Yi shook his head: "The gift I prepared for him is extraordinary."
Everyone was confused.
From the beginning to now, they have not seen Wang Yi give out any gifts.
What is this extraordinary gift?
While they were talking, James also came.
Everyone gave their gifts to James.
Some give away red wine, some give suits, and some give away luxury watches.
In short, James doesn't need anything, so everyone just wanted to send him a token of his appreciation.
Rich people like Paul gave expensive watches, while bench players who had little money gave them ordinary gifts. James did not treat them differently, but happily accepted everyone's gifts and
Expressed thanks to them.
After giving away the gifts, everyone turned to look at Wang Yi.
Didn’t Wang Yi say that he has a very special gift?
Wang Yi naturally understood what these guys meant by looking at him. He just said mysteriously: "I can't take out my gift yet."
Everyone was more curious, including James.
Although he did not intend to accept Wang Yi's gift, Wang Yi's words made him curious.
Then everyone started to make preparations.
After all, they still have a game at 5:00 this afternoon.
While Wang Yi was training, Luo Lin called: "Wang Yi, Audi has called us again to discuss cooperation."
Wang Yi shook his head: "I have said before, we will not accept their endorsements."
"Why? I think the price they gave is already very high, higher than our psychological price. It's US$20 million over two years."
Paul, who was practicing dribbling next to him, heard this and looked at Wang Yi in surprise: "So many?"
According to Paul's understanding, although the amount of the Hummer endorsement contract signed by James in 2020 was not announced, James had talked to him and said it was US$8 million a year.
This is already a huge contract in car endorsements.
Now Wang Yi's average salary is 10 million US dollars a year, which is 2 million more expensive than James.
How could this not surprise Paul?
What surprised him even more was Wang Yi's next performance.
Wang Yi shook his head: "I said, I can't speak for them."
Paul's eyes widened again.
10 million U.S. dollars per year, but you still haven’t signed it?
This is leaving money in front of Wang Yi and not picking it up at all.
Sister Luo asked Wang Yi: "Why, Wang, I think the conditions they gave are very good."
It’s understandable that Wang Yi doesn’t endorse Toyota.
But now that Audi has paid him such a high price, he doesn't even endorse it.
This is difficult to understand.
Wang Yi shook his head.
He replied: "Because domestic agents are also talking about endorsements by domestic car companies."
Sister Luo understands.
When Wang Yi has endorsements, he always gives priority to domestic brands.
Chapter completed!
