I carefully recalled the NBA 20 years later...

"Although I'm most likely not going to play at that time, this thing is still very necessary.

But this one…”

“Magic insole production process:

...

…”

Zhang Hao looked at it and recorded in detail the above details where to order each production equipment, which company to order raw materials, etc., etc.

“Is this how to produce this insole?

I see, except that it does not automatically match the foot shape and the playing characteristics... it needs to be customized by measurement and data analysis, and the insole produced is the same as my insole... Oh, it does not have the function of the assembly rebound card, but the protective effect on the feet is the same, it only needs to be customized and the yield rate needs to be guaranteed.

I remember that future sneaker manufacturers have their own developed insoles. Short Shoufen gave fans the sneakers and snatched them back...

I seem to have seen things about developing insoles in Nike's prospectus... They are still researching and developing. Can I take the lead in seizing market share in this area?

My dad said that the new sneaker brand, even if I endorse it, it may be difficult to compete for too much market share. We do not have core technology and we buy other top sneaker brands to sell things outside. Although it is not bad, even if we grab the market share, we will make a small profit. We will first grab the patents in the insoles... emmm...

But this matter is very expensive... Wait, you can find someone else to invest in it if you burn money! It is best to build relationships and find those big investors and those endorsements to make it easier."

As a basketball player, Zhang Hao does not want to see any athlete get injured. Even if he is not a professional athlete, he is just a child, student, middle-aged uncle who plays on the street... He also hopes that those on the sports field can be healthy.

If this insole is launched, it can bring certain help to the promotion and development of basketball, and it is also excellent.

It is a good thing to do both public and private.

After making up his mind, Zhang Hao looked at the time. It was noon in the country, and just so happened that he called his father...

"Dad, didn't you say that our sneakers don't have their own core technology before? A small company developing sports insoles contacted me and I bought their technology. They even planned the equipment and raw material channels for needed items, but they just had to pay. I bought their technology directly..."

...

...

"Aix, the Soviet Union has just collapsed, the situation in Yugoslavia is also turbulent, and refugees are displaced. It is said that the security problem of this Athens World Championships is quite serious. What do you think about this?"

"I discussed this with Starbucks boss Mr. Howard Schultz. We hired 500 security forces and have obtained permission from the Greek government. Security measures are fine."

"Well……"

Kenny Anderson didn't expect Zhang Hao to have such an answer! He felt like he was going to have a toothache again.

Taking a deep breath, Kenny Anderson changed his question: "The market value of Internet companies soared, and funds from all over the United States are pouring into the stock market. Many people sell their houses at a cheap price and invest cash in the stock market. Aix, do you think I want to invest millions? I happened to save some money."

"Yes, you should buy it while so many people sell real estate and the housing prices are sluggish. Our Lelin has bought a lot of houses recently. She has a good vision... To be precise, her father has a good vision, and the houses he buys must be in a place that will appreciate. If you need it, I can ask her for her, and I have also bought 100 million points."

"?" Kenny Anderson was stunned for a moment and said, "I asked if I wanted to buy stocks!"

"No need, now you can make some money from others when you buy stocks. If you play with leverage, you may become a leek again.

In this case, it is most suitable to buy a house. In two years, funds will move from the stock market to the real estate market. If you buy two houses, isn’t your sixth child about to be born? Buy a few not so luxurious but well-placed houses that can be used for them to live in.

Now when you buy a house, you buy a low price, and when you buy a high price, you must choose a low price to buy and sell it at a high price."

"It makes sense..."

As he spoke, he talked about life and also about what Kenny Anderson was worried about, but at the beginning he just wanted to "care about the international situation and examine the financial environment", just like an uncle and aunt riding a green train, he was bored after the training.

But as we chatted, Zhang Hao became a serious matter!

Although I really feel inexplicably at ease like this, it’s not like this!

"Aix, why do I feel that you are worried about me?"

"You said, you are married, you are beaten by your wife and you are going to go out to fool around, you are almost giving birth to your fifth child..."

"I love my wife very much!"

“我知道我知道,我也看得出来她很爱你,虽然经常揍你,但你不出去鬼混的时候你们看起来还是很恩爱……”

"We are really loving...wait, Aix, are you worried that I will go bankrupt if I retire?"

"Yes, according to the latest statistics, 83% of NFL athletes went bankrupt within three years after retirement, 77% of MLB athletes went bankrupt within five years after retirement, 69% of NHL players went bankrupt within three years after retirement, and the probability of NBA players going bankrupt within five years after retirement is 52%. The four major leagues in North America are the lowest, but it has risen from 29% to 52% in just 7 years, and is still on the rise.

Except for the sixth child your wife is about to have, currently you and your wife have only one child, and the remaining four are children born with three other girlfriends. You have to pay 8,000 yuan in child support per child, and each girlfriend has to pay 4,000 yuan in child support per month. If your own family expenses are not counted, you have to pay 44,000 yuan in child support per month.

This is just a basic expense. You have to give gifts to your children. You are very generous and rent a big villa for them...

According to big data statistics, if you have such a situation, you will have a 90% chance of facing bankruptcy."

"Will I be that ten percent?"

"I hope it is."

"Uh... do you have a way?"

"It's very simple. First, give birth to less children, take safety measures, and don't cause life danger."

"I know this. I've been in Los Angeles for two years. I was excited and forgot to do the measures at Christmas."

"Secondly, save expenses, calculate how much it will cost in a month, calculate the taxes to be paid, the remaining money, buy trust funds, buy high-quality real estate, and don't have much extra money in your hand, so you won't spend it indiscriminately.

When you retire and get dividends and interest, when you reach 50, the trust fund money can be withdrawn, and your children have grown up and taken care of themselves."

"This is a good idea! Aix, how could you come up with such a good idea? I really often can't help but spend money because I have spare money, and I'm accidentally caught it."

"There is no way to change the IQ thing, and I can't teach you something too complicated. This simple and crude method is most suitable for you."

"So that's it...wait! Don't run! Stop..."

...

On the 14th, the Bulls took the lead in advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals. On the 15th, the Pacers beat the 76ers 4-1 and met with the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals.

On the 16th, today, the Jazz, who was behind 1-3, tied the big score 3-3, and the day after tomorrow, the 18th, the two teams will play a tiebreak battle in Seattle and decide the outcome.

When the Supersonics tied 3-3 with the Jazz, the schedule for the division finals has been determined. On the 20th, the Pacers will play against the Bulls at home to start the Eastern Conference Finals.

On the 21st, the Lakers will welcome the winners of the Supersonics and Jazz at home.

Tonight, Lakers players gathered at Kenny Anderson's house to watch the live broadcast. I thought that the Supersonics, who led 3-1 at the beginning, should have won the series 4-2 after losing one game, but it ended up being another one.

But at least, the time to start the Western Conference Finals was determined and the home court was held.

If the Jazz plays to the Western Conference Finals, the Jazz will play in two consecutive rounds to the last game, which will definitely be beneficial to the Lakers.

After watching the G6 of the Supersonics and Jazz, Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson chatted for a while and drove away. Looking at Kenny Anderson's happy look, Zhang Hao was very satisfied.

Although it cannot cure Kenny Anderson's problem, it can at least delay his bankruptcy. After a few years or more after he retires, he has adapted to the fact that he has not earned millions of dollars a year. It is estimated that it will be much better to get that amount of money when he is over 50 years old.

The teammates I met in the NBA are still teammates, only Kenny Anderson and Jason Williams are the only ones left.

Although Jason Williams is not reliable in other aspects, he is very honest in terms of money. He likes to buy farms. The Lakers' biggest landlord returns to his own farm to work every summer.

However, Kenny Anderson, who seems to be very steady in all aspects, is very unrestrained in using money.

It was not very troublesome. I followed Iverson's gourd and helped Kenny Anderson, who was also 183, provide an idea. Kenny Anderson only raised a few illegitimate children, which was much better than Iverson's side. There were not so many favors and debts, so it was easier to operate.

After washing up and laying on the bed, Zhang Hao looked at the latest abilities evaluation.

"Special signing player: Zhang Hao.

Ability evaluation: 90

Physical fitness: speed 90, strength 92 (explosion 90), bounce 94, flexibility 95, physical strength 94...

Shooting: 82 three-pointers (84 in the top arc area, 81 in the remaining positions), 92 mid-range shots, 95 layups...

Techniques: 84 ball control, 79 pass, 93 catch shot, 87 jump shot, 87 jump shot at the high position, 87 back-body skills, 71 low position skills, 84 jump step, 64 turn, 85 ball control change direction, 90 jump shot at the emergency stop 74..."

The skills you know are basically above 60, and even the jumping step that you are not good at has exceeded the passing line.

The three-day rest time after the second round was promoted, the coaching team arranged a small amount of training, but Zhang Hao's own training was very hard, and the intensive training was urgently stopped jump shot... Although he did not make much progress, at least he could be more proficient in the current stage of the game of emergency stop jump shots. This move was effective when playing against the Supersonics and Jazz.

...

...

At 9:27 pm on May 18, the Supersonics and Jazz tiebreak battle ended.

For the Supersonics, Payton scored 26 points and 9 assists, Wen Baker scored 20 points and 11 rebounds, Schramf scored 16 points and 7 rebounds and 5 assists, José Hawkins scored 14 points, Dale Ellis scored 11 points, Jeromy Colsey scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 steals...

On the Jazz, Hornersek scored a career-high 43 points, Malone scored 20 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, Stockton scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals, Anthony Carter scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Brian Russell scored 12 points and 14 rebounds. These five main players performed well so well. However, except for these five main players, only Ostag won 2 points. Except for these 6 people, no one scored!

The Supersonics blossomed at multiple points, defeating the Jazz 106-102, and then again reached the Western Conference Finals after a year!

The most popular and most eye-catching series in the first round is the series between the Heat and the Knicks. The second round is undoubtedly the series between the Supersonics and the Jazz.

During the series, the media and fans had different views on this series, and the teams they supported were also different.

But after the outcome was decided, many media emerged, many "ten-year-old fans", regret, sympathy, and encouragement.

Although Stockton and Malone have maintained their state in excellent form this season, Malone even looks stronger than when he won the MVP last season and seems to be improving.

But after all, they are all this age. Stockton turned 36 in March, and Malone is still two months away from becoming 35.

In addition to these two, Horacek is already 35 years old at the beginning of the month, and Anthony Carter will be 37 years old.

In this game, Hornersek, Anthony Carter, and Stockton, the three oldest players of the Jazz, fought to the extreme, but Malone could only beat Wen Baker and failed to play an advantage.
