America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 409 Throwing a Big Bomb to the NBA
"Di-"

When the red light of the timing card is on, the number becomes 0, and the long whistle sounds.The Rockets vs. Lakers game is over.

117:90.

Rockets 117, Lakers 90.

Judging from the entire game, today's Houston Rockets showed as if they were playing the last playoff game.

It seems that if they lose today, they will miss this year's NBA championship.

The crazy Rockets didn't give the Lakers any chance.

Dayao, who has been struggling in the NBA for half a year, has cultivated his peak body ahead of time.

Even if the skills and tactics are not that good, the experience is not accumulated enough.

Today's performance is also very good.

In addition, since Dayao joined the NBA, today is the only rest period that has not exceeded half a quarter of the game.

Facing the "OK combination" Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, role players Glenn Rice, Derek Fisher, and Robert Horry, it may be the strongest Lakers team in the 21st century.

In order to win, today's Rockets are not crazy or alive.

Only then did the exaggerated ratio of 117 to 90 be achieved.

In fact, this score itself is not convincing.

Today's game is obviously very special.

Even David Stern can only sit next to the Rockets boss as a foil.

The official attitude of the NBA league towards tonight's game can be imagined.

All along, they have enjoyed the "OK combination" of Star Whistle. There is no doubt that they temporarily lost this benefit tonight.

As for the Rockets, only the immature Yao could enjoy the star whistle from time to time, but today almost all members enjoy it.

On the Los Angeles Lakers side, head coach Phil Jackson is no fool.

Before the game started today.

Phil Jackson has already talked about the "OK combination", and has properly expressed the attitude of the Lakers owner Bass family.

What is the attitude of the Bath family?

Of course, I can't wait for the attitude of the Lakers in today's game...

The so-called NBA giants, the Bass family, may have a bit of a thin face in the commercial sports world in the Los Angeles area.

But such a small shrimp, when they raised their heads to face the behemoth from outside the domain.

Of course, you can hide as far as you can.

The Lakers players are quite obedient.

Even the "OK combination" who is in full swing, also defaulted to today's failure.

It's just that as soon as they played, the more brutal Rockets today aroused their nagging side.

In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers, who were struggling with foreign work, were poured 1:35.

The young Kobe was in a hurry, and when he was in a hurry, he got up, and when he got up, he forgot Phil Jackson's warning.

What's even more outrageous is that today's Kobe, Iron King's touch today is surprisingly good.

In the first 2 minutes of the second quarter, Kobe missed 4 three-pointers in a row and actually hit four...

When the game reached the third quarter, the Rockets only led by 3 points.

Later, Phil Jackson became impatient and replaced Kobe at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Kobe was not allowed to play until the last 3 minutes left.

In the end, the result of the game is what it is now.

For this situation, the Lakers fans in front of the TV and in the stadium will more or less boo.

But if you want to say how angry, it's really not.

That Abe Smith who just made everyone extremely excited and made everyone look forward to a better future, he was sitting there.

At this time, Americans only think about the symbol of Americans-let him win.

On the contrary, the members of the Rockets who won the game and won a lot were a little upset.

In the Rockets locker room.

The strength is not so outstanding, but Dayao, who is well maintained by general manager George Postolos, has no joy on his face after the big victory.

The little giant with extremely high emotional intelligence maintains his relationship in the team very well.

Even in the team, the original boss, Steve Francis, is very angry with this oriental man now.

Because the little giant is too good at life.

And his potential in the interior is very visible to the naked eye.

As long as you have played against Dayao and spent some time with him.

Any NBA player will believe that this Chinese man will definitely be an inside superstar in the future.

"Fake...Although he won, he always felt that it was meaningless."

Steve Francis, who was wiping his sweat with a towel, couldn't help muttering loudly.

The other players all looked at the former leader of the team.

Everyone understands what Steve Francis is complaining about.

The performance of the Lakers tonight was too obvious.

In addition to that Lentouqing Kobe, other members of the Lakers, especially the big shark.

Not playing ball at all tonight.

Tonight at the Staples Center, O'Neal played with sophistication.

This made the Rockets, who won a big victory, lose any excitement.

At this time, everyone's interest is not high.

Dayao felt that this mood was not good, after all tonight was special.

The little giant stood up and wanted to say something.

At this time, head coach Pat Riley walked in.

Pat Riley is one of the most famous head coaches in the NBA.

He won the NBA Coach of the Year award three times in 1990, 1993 and 1997.

At the end of last year, the head coach was poached from the Miami Heat by Rockets general manager George Postolos.

It is not a difficult job for George Postolos to dig out this NBA magician.

Because this gentleman, in addition to being an excellent head coach of the basketball team.

His life outside of basketball is also very successful. He is a famous speaker in the United States and a famous fashion figure.

Among the 30 teams in the NBA, the one with the deepest relationship with fashion and the media is of course the Rockets backed by Smith Media.

In the case of better development prospects and better treatment.

Pat Riley jumped ship without hesitation and became the head coach of the Rockets at the end of last year.

pop-

After entering, Pat Riley applauded a few times, attracting everyone's attention.

Pat Riley said: "Get ready, media interviews. Don't talk nonsense, today's situation is very special."

When the players agreed, Steve Francis couldn't help but say:

"Coach, what else can we say. Everyone knows what happened in today's game."

Pat Riley looked at Steve Francis.

Francis was a star player, the boss of the original Rockets.

Even now, Yao, who is backed by the head coach and general manager, can't hold down Steve Francis.

In June last year, in the draft, the Rockets acquired Dayao.

For half a year, it has been rectifying.

George Postolos got a lot of money.

But it is also for this reason that all NBA teams are very wary of him.

In addition, it will take some time for Postolos to adjust the team's business and direction.

Until Pat Riley jumped over, the head coach and the general manager hit it off.

The top executives of the Rockets have already planned to start waving the big stick of the check given by the boss, and they are going to give other basketball team bosses a hard blow.

At this time, Steve Francis has been on Pat Riley's trade list.

Francis said these words at this time, of course, made Pat Riley even more dissatisfied.

Shen Suanzi smiled, but did not reveal his bad emotions.

"In short, do what you should do. Let's go, the interview is outside."

Under the leadership of the head coach, the Rockets' starters and substitute players filed out.

In one of the largest conference halls in the Staples Center, the reporters and preparations for interviews have been made.

When Pat Riley walked in with the players.

The flash wasn't very hot, and the journalists didn't look too enthusiastic.

This is also understandable.

Because of today's game, everyone knows what's going on.

Compared with interviewing the winners, some reporters who like to make troubles want to interview the Lakers more at this time, interviewing them about how it feels to lose at home...

Phil Jackson is a chicken thief, how could he give them such an opportunity.

Today's Lakers did not arrange an interview. At this time, it is estimated that everyone got in the car and left the Staples Center.

When the members of the Rockets all took their positions on the interview table.

Only then did the reporters gain some enthusiasm, and some people began to ask questions.

"Mr. Pat Riley, as the head coach, I would like to ask what is your opinion on today's game?"

Who is Pat Riley, this hidden edge question is too simple for him.

Shen Suanzi smiled and was about to speak.

Suddenly, the door of the conference hall was opened.

There were two black men of the same size, who didn't lose much to O'Neal, walked in.

Then everyone in the conference room saw a large group of people filing in.

"Wow—"

There was an uproar at the interview site, because among the crowd that filed in.

Surrounded by the stars like the moon, it is the real absolute core of this evening, Abel Smith.

The reporter, who was still a little listless, seemed to be pumped out in an instant, and his adrenal hormones were crazily secreted.

All the reporters went crazy, and many people wanted to squeeze towards Abel.

Rock Security already had a plan for this situation.

A perfect bodyguard team can easily isolate the reporters.

The reporters could only watch Abe Smith go to the interview table of Pat Riley and the Rockets players with the same excitement and anticipation as everyone else.

After being stunned for a moment, the fortune teller stood up immediately.

But Pat Riley found that the Chinese people sitting next to him reacted faster than himself.

Shen Suanzi suddenly realized in his heart - no wonder this guy is highly valued.Not to mention other aspects, just in terms of emotional intelligence, in the NBA, it is estimated that it can be ranked in the forefront.

Minutes later, he was joined by David Stern and Rockets general manager George Postolos.

Abel came to Pat Riley and Dayao.

Under the gaze of the respectful Pat Riley, Abel easily picked up the microphone on the table and said with a smile, "I hope my arrival will not disturb everyone."

Immediately someone shouted from the audience: "No, no, I didn't bother you. Even if there was, we'd love for you to come and disturb me."

Hearing what this person said, many people laughed, and the atmosphere in the audience was happy.

Abe laughed too, and he patted Pat Riley next to him, who was flattered.

Because Shen Suanzi read an article on the Internet.

The article stated that Abel Smith disliked physical contact with men.

There were few men Abel Smith could hug other than to shake hands.

And among them, only those men who are most trusted by him or expected by him will be patted on the shoulder by him.

Pat Riley wondered if this popular article was telling the truth.

But now, the fortune teller hopes that's true.

After patting Pat Riley on the shoulder, Abel, who was holding a microphone, smiled at the reporters and said:

"The core of everyone's interview today is still Mr. Pat Riley and the Rockets players. I came here just to say a few words."

Without waiting for the reporter below to speak, Abel continued:
"What I'm saying is that rockets are going to build an empire. Listen, it's not a dynasty, it's an empire!"

"Here, in my name, I extend an invitation to all the All-Star players in the league for the first time. The Rockets will not refuse any comers. The Rockets will give you a big contract worthy of you!"

"To build a dynasty, the luxury tax is not a problem at all!"

"correct."

He watched with a smile, because of his declaration, the reporters below who had already been fried, and the restless Rockets players around him.

Abel continued: "Besides, starting this year, I will invite members of the Rockets every year to visit my family's farm in Texas. Of course, if the game is too bad, then there is no such treatment. .”

"Okay, I'm done. Next, it's time for Mr. Pat Riley and the players."

Abel didn't wait for the reporters who were fried, and began to attack the bodyguard team frantically, wanting to interview himself frantically.

He directly handed the microphone to Pat Riley, and under David Stern's helpless eyes, he left directly with his own people.

Abel actually knew that he knew such a high-profile declaration.

After saying it, it can be said that it almost stabbed the hornet's nest of the entire league team.

It will make all the teams panic, worrying that their star star will be hooked away.

I believe that after tonight, many team owners will have nightmares.

Because not to mention the super big contract that will definitely be very lucrative.

Just the possibility of visiting the Smith family farm every year is a great temptation for any American.

This ambiguous sentence is too easy for people to imagine.

Will visiting Smith's farm be a friend of Smith's?

Even if it is just a possibility, it will make the billionaire NBA All-Star players very excited.

Those NBA players who have envisioned their lives, or their careers outside the court.

For example, smarter black players like James in the future.

For them, the hope of visiting the farm of the richest man in the world is a possibility of class promotion.

Even just this possibility will make the Rockets very attractive to them.

Abel's simple words completely detonated the entire alliance.

Almost every owner and manager of a team with a superstar came forward the next day, accusing Abe Smith of doing this and taking the fun out of the NBA.

The fact that the richest man in the world began to wave checks and at the same time seduce top stars, made all NBA teams feel uncomfortable and worried to death.

Abe, who put a big bomb in the NBA, left the Staples Center directly.

That night, at Los Angeles International Airport, he boarded his own Boeing 747 and left Los Angeles directly, returning to Texas.

　I had a cough for half a month when there was no lung infection during the CT scan.I still have a fucking fever today.I don't know if it's Fuyang, or I caught a cold accidentally.I am desperate for my body.
