Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 35 Making Money
It's just that they probably felt saying 100% was too full, so they lowered a few percentage points to leave themselves some room to improve!
But, this is showing off!
Cahoon also smiled and looked at Tang Tian at this time, he suddenly felt that Tang Tian seemed to be more interesting than he knew.
Seeing the reactions of other people, Tang Tian realized that he might have been showing off inadvertently.
But with this kind of thing, showing off is showing off, explaining it would seem fake.
After the press conference, Tang Tian and Walker walked towards the locker room.
When they got to the door, they found it was closed and surprisingly quiet inside.
"Did these guys leave so early today?" Tang Tian was a little puzzled. With his understanding, after winning this kind of crucial battle, those guys would definitely go crazy for a long time.
"Maybe they're too tired." Walker said, squatting down, his shoelaces seemed to be loose.
Tang Tian nodded after hearing that.
That's right, although the team has been on a winning streak, many of them have been tough battles, and although tonight was a big win, the game was actually very difficult, especially Monroe's advantage in the paint. He was hit twice in a row, and his chest still hurts a little now.
He pushed the door open.
"Champagne!"
Before he could react, two bottles of champagne were sprayed directly in his face.
He was sprayed all over from head to toe.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
Before he could make the next reaction, his teammates had already come over and lifted him up.
"Haha~"
Walker also quickly stood up at this time, laughing and closing the locker room door.
He wasn't tying his shoelaces, he was cooperating with his teammates in acting!
"Tang! Tang!"
Tang Tian was carried by his teammates and thrown directly upwards.
The roof of the locker room wasn't high, and as he watched the ceiling getting closer and farther away, he was really afraid that these guys would use too much force and he would have a close encounter with it.
Fortunately, the teammates put him down after a while.
These guys.
Tang Tian wiped his face after landing, and smiled unconsciously with his teammates.
Although he was sprayed and thrown, he knew that his teammates were celebrating for him.
21 points, his first 20+ in the NCAA, for a role player, this was already a career night.
"Where did this champagne come from?" After the celebration, he wiped his face with a towel and couldn't help but ask Napier next to him.
The game had just ended not long ago, and these players still had to take a shower, etc. It wouldn't be enough time to buy the champagne and make these preparations.
And Walker was also cooperating. He and Walker went to the press conference together.
"I don't know, it was in the locker room before." Napier said, looking at Walker. He was the most experienced player on this team.
"Ah?" Tang Tian didn't expect this answer.
"This was prepared for celebrating two years ago." Walker said.
"Wait, champagne from two years ago?" Tang Tian suddenly stood up at this time.
"Yeah, the team made it to the Elite Eight at the time, but unfortunately we didn't win the championship in the end, so these champagnes were stored here." Walker explained with a smile, with a hint of reminiscence in his words.
He was only a freshman at the time, and that team had Hasheem Thabeet, the second pick in that year's draft. The paper strength was much stronger than this team now.
"No, I have to take a shower quickly." Tang Tian said, grabbing his bath towel and walking into the shower room.
He thought, how come there was a strange smell after being sprayed with champagne just now.
Watching Tang Tian, who rushed into the shower room, Walker also suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Napier next to him: "Is this vintage champagne or non-vintage champagne?"
"Vintage, probably." Napier didn't pay much attention, took the sprayed bottle and looked at it, and said with a daze, "Non-vintage."
"Haha…"
The two laughed out loud after this was said.
The shelf life of non-vintage champagne is generally only 2~3 years. This thing had been put aside for a while before it was bought, and it was estimated to be expired.
After playing Georgetown, the team ushered in a five-day break.
After consecutive high-intensity games, plus the Georgetown game being intense, Calhoun rarely gave the players a day off.
The night before the break, he returned to the dormitory after extra training and directly opened his laptop.
The computer was bought when he went to buy a new mobile phone before. In his previous life, he basically used computers as a coach. He was a little unaccustomed to suddenly not having one.
It wasn't expensive, just over six hundred dollars. After getting a full scholarship, he still had this money.
After he turned on the computer, he started searching for places in Connecticut where he could earn money.
Calhoun let him play power forward in the starting lineup, which had a good effect against Georgetown. It seems that this will be a normal state in the future.
This is actually quite suitable for him. Compared with the average NCAA power forward, his movement speed is an advantage.
But confrontation will be a new problem. This time, the power forward of Georgetown is not heavy, so he can handle it, but if he is replaced by an inside player like Tristan Thompson or Markieff Morris, he will definitely be in trouble.
He still has to continue to train his physical fitness, but relying on this alone is definitely not enough. He must find a way to exchange for some useful new skills.
For example, the flopping actor (Varejao) that he thought of after being knocked down by Monroe.
Varejao's ability to draw offensive fouls is top-notch in the NBA, and it is definitely enough in the NCAA.
Just imagine, if he had drawn two offensive fouls on Monroe in the first half of the game against Georgetown, then UConn would have easily won the game.
However, it is not so easy to earn another 50,000 US dollars. Although he is a time-traveler and has four or five thousand in cash, the system stipulates that it must be related to basketball.
According to the rules of the NCAA, schools cannot pay players, players cannot accept endorsements, and they cannot even participate in amateur competitions with profit-making properties.
This kind of regulation is very perverted and unreasonable, but it is all left over from historical reasons. Although it has been criticized repeatedly, it has not been changed yet.
If he can't make money as an NCAA player, then he can only change to another kind.
Regulations are dead, people are alive, no one stipulates that he is not allowed to use the ability of players to make money!
For example, he has now found one, streetball one-on-one.
There are all kinds of games in streetball courts, including one-on-one games, winning 10 dollars, 20 dollars per game, etc., and there are also high-end games with 100 dollars.
However, Tang Tian temporarily passed this one, the money comes a bit slow, and there is a certain risk of injury in the streetball court.
He searched for other things again, and suddenly something very interesting caught his attention.
Adult entertainment city.
Entertainment cities are all over the world, but most of them are designed for children, such as shooting, claw machines, and simulated motorcycles.
But this entertainment city has the word adult in front of it, and the content is much richer. They are all large-scale projects such as roller coasters and brave men's challenges.
However, what attracted Tang Tian was not these, but a project called the basketball shooting game.
