From South China Tiger to NBA King

As soon as Xiao Hua went down, the NBA immediately inserted an advertisement.

This year, each advertisement inserted during the live broadcast of the awards ceremony was sold for an average of 170 million U.S. dollars. Each advertisement was played for 30 seconds, which is equivalent to an average of 5.7 U.S. dollars per second.Advertising alone can bring more than $7000 million in revenue to the NBA.

Of course, whether it is making money by selling advertisements or entertaining the public, the alliance is actually the biggest winner.

As the music suddenly sounds, the NBA Annual Awards Ceremony is about to kick off. Before the award ceremony, there will be a video introducing several nominated players and hosts. The theme of this award ceremony video is to find the host of the awards show.

At an event, the famous rapper Drake said: "Hosting? No, you didn't see that I'm busy in love."

Amidst the roar of laughter in the audience, the camera was focused on the door of Wade's house again. His wife Union said rudely, "Get out! We really don't have time. We are almost crazy with housework at home!"

There was another burst of laughter at the scene, and the ones who laughed the most were Wade and his wife Union, who had already arrived at the scene.

Finally, the camera fell on a bed, where current host Kevin Hart was sleeping and was woken up by a phone call.

"God, you want me to be the host of the NBA Awards Ceremony? Oh, this is not a dream, how come I see Jenna lying next to me?"

At this time, the sexy Jenna was lying next to him and firing at him. Hart quickly said, "Let me close my eyes again and confirm that this is true."

When he woke up, next to him was Shaquille O'Neal in gold pajamas. O'Neal grabbed Hart by the back of his neck and lifted him up: "Go ahead, put on your clothes and host the award ceremony."

The whole audience burst into laughter again! !

James, Kobe, and Antetokounmpo all laughed forward and backward, and even Paul no longer faked a smile, but showed his big white teeth.

As the screen on the stage went out, a blast of rap music played. The famous American comedian Kevin Hart jumped out and shouted to everyone amidst the laughter of the audience:

"Oh~~~~"

"Welcome, everyone, to beautiful Los Angeles, and I'm your friend, Kevin Hart."

"Thank you for the applause. It's wonderful to be able to host the NBA annual awards ceremony!"

"Thank you to NBA officials, thank you to Los Angeles. Friends in Los Angeles, how are you? Are you feeling well?"

Everyone in the audience cheered: "Okay!?"

Hart said angrily: "Shut up, I didn't ask you players!!"

"I know you guys are doing well. If I could make tens of millions of dollars every year just by playing basketball, I would be doing well too!?"

"It's a pity that I don't have that damn talent. If I were 1 meters tall, I could dunk on Shaquille O'Neal's head and let him smell my crotch!!"

"Instead of having him hold me by the scruff of my neck to attend this damn award ceremony!!"

The camera showed O'Neal in the TNT commentary box. O'Neal spread his hands with a very helpless expression, and the audience laughed again.

Hart stood on tiptoes and said with an exaggerated expression: "If I were two meters tall, I would follow LeBron James from behind when he breaks through, and when he goes for a layup, he suddenly jumps up and gives it to him. A devastating block."

"Then I will tell LeBron who is flipping his hat on the ground: Hey, man, I saw from the sky that all the hair on the top of your head has fallen out. You should get another hair transplant!!"

"Hahaha!."

The audience burst into laughter again. Everyone was amused by Kevin Hart's humor. James, as the person being joked about, laughed so hard that he couldn't take care of himself.

"LeBron is my friend and I know he won't be angry if I make fun of him!!"

"I originally wanted to talk about Durant and make some jokes about him, but after thinking about it, I forgot about it because he lost the championship ring in the past Finals!!"

The camera showed Durant, who put his hand on his chin and looked expressionless.

Then it was shown to Curry next to him, who showed a forced smile, and finally the camera was shown to Jiang Hu, who was smiling happily at this time.

Hart said loudly again: "The organizer? Are the staff here now??"

"Look at their positions, how the hell did you arrange them?"

"Why do you want Kevin, LeBron, Stephen Curry, and Jiang Hu to sit together!?"

"Aren't you afraid that a few of them will fight? Jiang is Chinese, and all Chinese are good at Kung Fu!!"

"Ah fight~" Hart said, making a classic posture that Bruce Lee used when fighting.

"However, I think the three of them might not be Jiang's opponent together, just like in the playoffs this past year!?"

"Why didn't I name James Harden?"

"He won't go up and fight Jiang. He will only tell the people around him when Jiang comes over, "Hey, referee, he fouled, this is a foul action"!!"

The scene once again burst into laughter, (except for the smiling James Curry and Durant Harden)...

"Also, why isn't Kyrie Irving sitting here? If I were the organizer, I would have Kyrie sitting next to LeBron. I think it would be interesting."

Hart's facial features flew wildly, and he continued with an exaggerated expression: "In this way, Kyrie might lean into LeBron's ear and say: Hey, LeBron, I think leaving you is the right decision. We defeated you easily last year, Jiang Much better than you, I didn’t even sweat much. Not only did he help me beat you, but he also helped me beat Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry. I didn’t need to stand on the right side to make the 45-degree shot. Three damn points and we’ve already won!!”

"Hahaha!" The laughter that had not completely stopped sounded wildly, and the audience gave thunderous applause and whistles!This joke is definitely a crazy attack on James. The live broadcast camera quickly swept over Wade, Love, Bosh and other James teammates and former teammates. They all smiled and laughed, but without exception they all stood up. happy.

The camera showed Irving, who was covering his mouth and snickering. The camera showed James, who was wearing sunglasses and also showed an open smile.

"Also we have to talk about Jiang Hu!!"

"This is an incredible young man."

"To be honest, I didn't watch much of the regular season this past year."

"Because I'm very busy, I have to record my shows that don't make much money, but I won't be able to eat if I stop, so I only started watching the NBA again in May, because I know that this time is the playoffs, and I can The guys who are left in the playoffs are really good guys!"

"As you know, I am a good friend of LeBron. We have known each other for about 13 or 14 years. I can't remember exactly. In short, when I met him, he still had a lot of hair!!"

"My impression is that this guy's team has always been very strong and can play in the finals every year, although he often loses in the finals!!"

"Hahaha!" The whole audience burst into laughter again, and the decibel level set a new record tonight.Regarding this award speech that made fun of James, Hart obtained James's consent in advance. James is not a serious person and supports light humor rather than bad taste.At this time, James was also stroking his hands and laughing.

"So when I stop my work and have some free time, I just want to see how my buddy reaches the finals this year, and see which unlucky guy in the Eastern Conference will fight him this year!?"

"I sat down and turned on the TV and saw that the Cavaliers were trailing the Celtics 1-3."

"I suspected that I had seen it wrong, so I ran to the TV, opened my eyes with my hands, and looked carefully at my hundreds-inch TV!!"

“I watched it back and forth several times!!”

"Okay, I'm sure it's correct. What's written on my TV is Boston Celtics 3-1 Cleveland Cavaliers."

"Oh shit, I think my good brother LeBron must be injured, otherwise how could he lose to that guy (Thomas) who is only two centimeters taller than me."

"I was just wondering if I should call my injured brother to comfort him."

"Then I saw on TV, LeBron wearing No. 23 dribbling the ball on the court. He was as strong as an ox and very fast. It didn't look like he was injured at all. Moreover, he performed very well and was always scoring points! !”

"Then I sat down quietly, opened a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, and watched the entire game. What this game gave me was that even though LeBron James is almost 50 years old, he is still very strong!!"

"But who the fuck is that freak across from him?? Why does he keep scoring?? Why is his fadeaway jumper so accurate?? Why does his dunk look better than LeBron's?? And his Why is he so fast? Why is he still a yellow-skinned player? Is he Yao Ming's younger brother? When did he come to the United States? Why didn't I be notified of such a big thing!?"

"The host kept repeating "Jiang "Jiang" Jiang" and I said okay, this name is really weird, but this guy is so fierce!!"

"The game was over, and I heard my other brother, Shaquille O'Neal, yelling at me with his broken gong voice across the screen: "Jiang, led the Boston Celtics to the Finals, and he scored 70 Points, incredible, this is a new NBA playoff scoring record. He did something that no one in the NBA has done in the past 70 years! ! ""

"New historical scoring record, 70 points!!"

"My hair!!!"

Hart's imitation of O'Neal's voice was very similar, and as expected, the audience laughed again. During the laughter, he leaned closer to the microphone, and his smile was full of admiration: "Well, at that time, I was fucking thinking, all the Americans now Everyone will know this young Chinese man named "Jiang", he is so damn awesome!!"

"But I would like to remind Jiang that as a senior in the entertainment industry, you can be friends with Taylor Swift, but you must not fall in love with her, because she will take everything you have after breaking up with you. It’s all written into her songs!.”

"It could be that you like to grind your teeth when sleeping, it could be that you like to eat steak with chopsticks, it could even include the color of your underwear and the color of your dick!!"

The camera showed Taylor Swift, her face turned red and she covered her mouth in embarrassment while laughing, and Jiang Hu couldn't help laughing.

"Hoo ho!" The same high-decibel applause and cheers sounded again in the Buck hangar. Almost all the stars the camera swept over were applauding with bright smiles.The audience in front of the TV who laughed from beginning to end was very satisfied. This is what we call the host of the award ceremony!

"Originally, I was supposed to go down after finishing my work, but the organizer told me that you should go down after giving out the first award."

"I said: waht?? What the hell are you talking about? You only gave me the money to host the opening ceremony. If you want me to present awards, you have to pay more!!"

"He told me: It is impossible to increase money. If you don't want to, we will go to Cui Wa (talk show actor). He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!"

"I told you to take out the garbage. He will definitely not be able to do it. Should I do it myself!?"

"I will present the first award tonight!?"

“Rookie of the Year—Jianghu!?”

As Kevin Hart read out the results loudly on the stage, a burst of thunderous applause and cheers suddenly erupted from the Buck Hangar. Thousands of audience guests pushed the atmosphere of the party to a climax, and many people even stood up one after another to express their gratitude to Jianghu. The applause was as lively as awarding the MVP. In fact, it was just the Best Rookie Award that was originally equivalent to commercial time.

And almost everyone knows that although Jiang Hu, Simmons, and Mitchell are nominated for this award, Simmons and Mitchell are destined to run together.

This is an award that everyone knows who the final winner will be, there is no suspense.

It’s not that the people attending the award ceremony were particularly enthusiastic this year, but the award presenters were extraordinary. Kevin Hart’s light-hearted and humorous award speech made the audience burst into laughter. There is no doubt that Hart’s bold and unobstructed attacks across the map, Not only did it make the scene very happy, but the audience in front of the TV also burst into laughter.

The viewership data monitored by the TV station staff silently showed that the number of viewers in the United States has continued to rise sharply since the appearance of host Hart.

"Thank God!" Seeing that the atmosphere of the ceremony became lively, TNT, the organizer, the awards ceremony producer, Vice President Mark Tatum and other people in charge all wiped cold sweat. It is truly the most humorous black man's blurt in history. Show actors!It's a pity that he only awarded the award once in the whole evening...

"JIANG HU!" Jiang Hu on the big screen on the stage has already hugged Sophia tightly beside him. At this time, there are countless girls in front of the TV who really hope that he is holding them right now!

On the TV screens of thousands of households, Jiang Hu walked onto the stage amidst applause and congratulations. He shook hands with Kevin Hart, and then took the Rookie of the Year trophy from Kevin Hart's hands.

"Thank you, thank you." Seeing Hart hand over the trophy with both hands with great respect, Jiang Hu quickly thanked him.

Jianghu has always respected people who are polite to him. Although he received this trophy from an outsider, it is still a meaningful honor. He smiled and said: "Sir, it is very special for you to present the award to me. one thing."

Hart's voice was slightly hoarse at this time, but he still smiled and said: "Enjoy your moment, young man."

The trophy feels a bit heavy and very real. It is also very happy and satisfying to receive the award under the attention of many peers!
Jiang Hu held the trophy in his right hand and came to the microphone. He looked at the people in the audience, black suits, orange suits, blue suits, all kinds of evening dresses, some he knew, some he was familiar with, some he was not familiar with... He remembered a year ago, here. Most of the people don't know themselves. They only know that this year's rookie is an Asian.

Going from in front of the TV to the stage, and then receiving the award in front of many people who I knew very well and even admired, it feels really good for Jiang Hu.

Jiang Hu laughed a few times, and the crowd below burst into cheers. He smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you for your applause. It feels very nice, almost the best sound I have ever heard!!"

"Thank you Danny, thank you for choosing me without hesitation and being willing to believe in me. Thank you Coach Stevens for letting me take on a huge responsibility in my first year as a rookie. This is a kind of trust in me. Thank you to everyone. Teammates, without you, I wouldn’t be here!!”

"Before I entered the NBA, many people were not optimistic about me. Many people saw my skin color and immediately thought that I would be a parallel import No. [-] pick without saying a word!!"

"I don't blame everyone who looks at me like this, really, because we Chinese used to look at other people in the world this way. All foreigners were called barbarians by us, which means barbaric foreigners!!"

"But now times have changed. The barbarians were more advanced than our Celestial Kingdom, and we have become the race that is lagging behind and catching up!!"

"In terms of basketball, there is no doubt that the United States is much better than China."

"As an extremely rare yellow face in the NBA, it is not easy for me to be able to stand here."

"Huhu——" The banquet hall was immediately filled with thunderous applause and cheers, and everyone's eyes were filled with intoxication, because this kind of underappreciated counterattack story has a market in any country in the world.

What Jiang Hu said next with a smile interrupted them: "I mean, since it's so hard for me to come here, I won't leave in the future. I will come here often to receive awards, preferably every year. Receive the award every time you come.”
