Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

Chapter 150 Watching the game, tolerance is the key!
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Golden State Warriors' "Three Crazy" tactics came like a tide.

For people who don't know much about basketball, this name may sound a bit derogatory, but in fact, it is a high compliment to the Warriors' outstanding performance in the third quarter.

Whenever the game enters this stage, the Warriors always show amazing scoring ability and the ability to reverse the game.

Irving scored consecutively in the first half of the third quarter and assisted Mozkov to complete a dunk, allowing the Cavaliers to lead by 7 points at one point.

However, the situation on the basketball court is unpredictable. Irving's shot from outside the three-point line was blocked by his opponent, and another attack was ruled invalid due to a traveling violation.

The Warriors scored from multiple points, with Thompson and Barnes making three-pointers in succession, narrowing the score gap to just one point.

James continued to hold the ball and attack in the second half of this quarter, and the score between the two sides was close. Whenever the Warriors narrowed the score to one point, James always responded with a timely score.

In the last attack of this quarter, James made a mistake and Iguodala seized the opportunity to score a fast break dunk. The two sides were tied at 73 after three quarters.

The offensive frenzy of the "Warriors Three Crazy" was displayed to the fullest in this quarter.

Just as the fourth quarter began, the foreign black spectator who was originally sitting next to Zhao Zixuan suddenly left and was replaced by a stunning beauty.

She has an extraordinary temperament and a hot body, and she wears a small suit and a white shirt in a professional OL style.

Seeing her appearance, the cameras at the scene couldn't help but follow her and stay on her, as if they were also attracted by her stunning temperament.

"How did you come?"

Zhao Zixuan looked at the beautiful woman sitting next to him in surprise.

The overbearing female CEO who is accustomed to working 996 actually has the leisure time to come out and watch the game?
"Why can't I come?"

Mao Yourong sat down gracefully, her amber eyes sparkling with charming light, "I bought an extra ticket in the first place, but I didn't tell you. As far as I know, basketball games usually last for four quarters, so it's just right for me to come and watch the last quarter."

Zhao Zixuan's gaze lingered on her proud bust for a moment, "I didn't realize you also like watching basketball?"

Mao Yourong stroked the thick hair beside his ears and said calmly, "I can't say I like it, I just know a little bit about it. I have dabbled in all the famous sports, basketball is just one of them."

After a pause, she continued, "In this country, the most popular sport is not basketball, but football. Did you know that the Super Bowl is so popular?"

Zhao Zixuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean? You want to test me? Of course I know about the Super Bowl, I'm just not that interested."

Mao Yourong responded calmly: "I am not very interested in basketball, but I know you are. Which star do you like? James or Stephen?"

While watching the game, Zhao Zixuan answered casually: "Don't you know? Stella didn't tell you? I thought she would report everything to you."

Mao Yourong shook his head and smiled: "I just asked her to accompany you, not to monitor you. I think you may have misunderstood something. I am not interested in prying into other people's privacy unless that person can make me feel different and expectant."

Zhao Zixuan felt that there was something else this strong woman said, but he did not ask any further questions and just continued to watch the game silently.

In the fourth quarter, Iguodala made a three-pointer to help the Warriors take the lead, and then he made an assist and a block.

James only rested for three minutes before returning to the court, and the Cavaliers took the lead again.

After James made a turnaround jump shot at 6 minutes and 29 seconds, the Cavaliers led by 4 points and the Warriors immediately called a timeout.

After the timeout, Curry assisted Iguodala to score a three-pointer. James also assisted Irving to return a three-pointer. Thompson's free throws and three-pointers made the Warriors trail by only one point.

At 3 minutes and 35 seconds, Curry made a mid-range shot and the Warriors led by 1 point. After James missed the shot, Thompson came back and made both free throws.

James made a three-pointer in the next offense, and the two teams tied the game.

With 53.6 seconds left, Curry made a mid-range shot, James passed the ball to Mozkov, who jumped for a dunk and was fouled. He made both free throws with 31 seconds left in the game and the two teams were tied at 98.

After Curry's key layup was blocked by Irving, the Cavaliers' final attack also failed and the two sides entered overtime.

In the tense atmosphere of the game, Zhao Zixuan glanced at the stunning female CEO beside him and said with a teasing smile: "It seems that you are here too early this time. Will it delay your work?"

Mao Yourong also didn't expect the game to go into overtime. She glanced down at the exquisite watch on her wrist and responded calmly: "How long will the overtime last?"

Zhao Zixuan explained: "Usually it's five minutes, but it's also possible to play double overtime or even triple overtime. As long as the score is too close to determine the winner in the final stage, the game will continue."

Mao Yourong nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then quietly accompanied Zhao Zixuan to continue watching the game.

Whenever she encountered fouls and violations that she didn't understand, she would humbly ask Zhao Zixuan for advice.

Zhao Zixuan was also generous with his knowledge, and although he didn't think the female president would be interested in basketball, he was impressed by her patience and curiosity.

He noticed that although Mao Yourong's cell phone kept vibrating, she almost never looked down, as if she had completely immersed herself in this basketball feast.

At the start of overtime, both sides exchanged blows, but Curry took the lead and made both free throws.

The Cavaliers' two consecutive attacks were fruitless. Curry shot again, causing Irving to foul, and he made two free throws again.

JR Smith's three-point attempt failed, and the Warriors' Barnes hit a key three-pointer, playing a 7:0 climax. At this time, the Cavaliers' bad news came one after another. Irving was injured in an attack and had to return to the locker room.

"The outcome is decided. The Knights are going to lose."

Mao Yourong suddenly sighed.

Zhao Zixuan looked at her in surprise, and inexplicably felt that this strong woman seemed to know a lot about basketball. If she hadn't been asking some questions about basketball rules just now, Zhao Zixuan would have mistaken her for a senior professional fan.

He continued to analyze: "It is reasonable for the Cavaliers to lose in the Warriors' home court. Now it depends on whether they can make a comeback in the next game. However, even if they do, Irving's absence will put the Cavaliers in trouble. He is currently the only helper around James. Without him, the Cavaliers' offense will be greatly reduced."

Mao Yourong's lips curled up slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "It seems that the NBA is not entirely a contest of strength, luck is equally important."

Zhao Zixuan smiled and said disapprovingly: "That's not the case. Luck itself is part of strength. Just like your operation of the TikTok app, if it weren't for good luck, occupying the market first, and having no competitors, the TikTok app would not have been popular in the US market in such a short time."

Mao Yourong frowned slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied with his statement: "You mean I can't become the industry leader if there are competitors? Are you questioning my ability?"

"Of course not." Zhao Zixuan vehemently denied: "I've said before that I fully recognize and appreciate your abilities. I'm extremely proud and proud that Heguang Technology has such an outstanding woman like you..."

"Strong woman? Is this the label you give me?" A hint of displeasure flashed in Mao Yourong's eyes. She felt very disgusted with this title.

Zhao Zixuan read the expressions on the people's faces and knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he was also an old man and naturally knew how to change the subject by avoiding the main point.

"I'm going to take a flight back to China tomorrow. I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to be honored by the female president?"

He smiled invitingly.

Mao Yourong was a little surprised. "So hurried? I thought you would stay a few more days. Aren't you going to watch the finals?"

Zhao Zixuan wanted to finish reading it, but unfortunately he had to go back to take the exam.

The college entrance examination is a major event in life.

Although for him as an art student, he could pass the test easily by just taking a casual test.

But you still have to take the exam.

"The outcome of the finals is no longer in doubt. The Warriors have already won the first game, and the Cavaliers' main player Irving is injured. In the words of a famous basketball commentator, there is no miracle."

Zhao Zixuan analyzed confidently.

Although Mao Yourong felt that there was some truth to it, he still felt that he was too confident. After all, the NBA Finals is a best-of-seven game.

What's the matter with opening champagne to celebrate in advance after just the first game?
Afterwards, the situation on the field was just as Zhao Zixuan had expected.

After the timeout, Iguodala successfully stole the ball and made one of two free throws, but the Cavaliers' shots still missed.

After Green committed a foul, he made both free throws, and the Warriors led by 10 points, and the game was suspended again.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers made two consecutive pass errors, and the Warriors failed to score. In the last 10 seconds of the game, James made a layup, but the Warriors finally chose to give up the attack and the game ended.

At the end of the game, five Warriors players scored in double digits, including Curry who scored 5 points, 26 assists and 8 rebounds.

Although James scored 44 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, the Cavaliers' consecutive turnovers at the end of overtime led to the loss of the game. Throughout the overtime, only James scored two points in the final stage.

After losing Irving, the Cavaliers seemed to have completely turned into a team that couldn't play basketball.

As the final whistle sounded, Mao Yourong suddenly asked a question that concerned him.

"The Warriors won the first game. How much bonus did you win?"

She knew that Zhao Zixuan bought NBA lottery tickets, and bet heavily on them.

But she didn't know the specific content of the bet.

Zhao Zixuan deliberately kept the question a secret and said with a playful smile: "How do you know I won? Maybe I lost?"

Seeing him like this, Mao Yourong stopped asking questions and cleverly changed the subject: "In that case, I will host lunch today."

"How can I say that?" Zhao Zixuan rubbed his head and changed the subject, asking curiously, "What are we having for lunch? But first, let me make it clear that I don't eat the bland food in the cafeteria."

Mao Yourong glanced at him with a half-smile, "Don't worry, I'll take you to see someone, he'll treat you."

"Who?" Zhao Zixuan asked curiously.

"The owner of the Warriors, Lacob." Mao Yourong smiled mysteriously.
