Standing pretty old

Chapter 822 Invisible richest man, fight against the Spurs again

This record in an ordinary season may not explain too many problems. After all, only 1/3 of the game has been played, and no one will know what will happen after that.

But the 11-12 season was a shrinking season. After the lockout, there were only 66 games left in the entire season, with a record of 23 wins and 3 losses, which means that the Clippers won the league's top spot in nearly half of the season.

The half-time championship is in sight, which is undoubtedly a great encouragement for the newly formed Los Angeles Clippers.

Donald Sterling can finally breathe a sigh of relief, at least as it turns out, his beauty is not in vain.

After the game with the Mavericks, the Clippers finally returned to Los Angeles after a long absence.

Ouyang Haotian came to Er Niu's home in Beverly Hills and reported to him the latest business situation.

Among them, Ouyang Haotian said the most words: "Jobs died at the right time!"

This statement still needs to be divided into two parts. Last year, in October 11, Apple founder Steve Jobs died of pancreatic cancer.

On the one hand, the death of the tyrant will undoubtedly bring the mobile Internet into an era of fiercer competition, but it is also the best opportunity for the long-prepared Hengyi mobile phone.

Cook is a logistics manager. His successor will put Apple on the defensive. It may not decline in the short term, but in the long run, Apple has lost its ability to conquer cities.

Before the Hengyi mobile phone led by Han Lei entered the market, Sanxin of Nanbang was once the most promising mobile phone market in the market to dominate the low-end market.

However, when Han Lei sacrificed the 5.5-inch screen, the Hengyi mobile phone really entered people's field of vision with an unrivaled attitude.

And what about Apple at this time?
They actually made the mobile phone smaller and smaller, and the IPHONE12 they will launch in September 9 will be only 5 inches, which will undoubtedly cause a huge obstacle to users who are used to large-screen mobile phones.

If Jobs was still alive, when he saw the horizontal 5.5-inch screen, maybe he would stop Kidney 5 at all costs, of course, this is just a possibility.

On the other hand, Jobs may have died at the right time, because Apple has also inevitably fallen into the bottleneck area, and left with a famous name. For Jobs, it may not be a good ending.

"Johnny is determined to advance the IPO?" Er Niu asked.

"This is for sure. However, your equity will definitely be diluted again, and according to direct negotiations, in order to avoid tax, most of them will definitely be put into the name of Manniu Fund." Ouyang Haotian said.

The so-called charitable funds in the United States are just tax avoidance methods for the rich. Think about Bill Gates’ fund, a charitable fund that publishes its financial report every year is actually profitable. If you think about it carefully, you can understand the truth behind it.

"Gathering with Johnny this summer, I think it's time to merge or spin off Bird Game Studios (including Crazy Bird, Minecraft, etc.), Whatsapp, Dropbox, and Instagram one by one." Er Niu nodded.

"Johnny is definitely in favor of being merged under the Laval Group, just like Facebook.

Speaking of Facebook, Zuckerberg is very interested in Whatsapp and Instagram, you really decided not to sell? "Ouyang Haotian asked.

"He only pays 10 billion yuan now, and this valuation is still too low for me!" Er Niu continued: "Even if the newly added payment function is not added, the chat and social attributes alone are worth it." More than 100 billion, since Zuckerberg is so insincere, then we simply make it bigger.

Anyway, with the Hengyi mobile phone, we don't lack a development platform at all.Thanks to Apple, with them at the top, no one cares whether we have a monopoly. "

"Kraft, I estimated that if you include the Tian Dynasty and arrange all the IT industries under your name to be listed, maybe you will directly become the richest man in the world." Ouyang Haotian said suddenly and seriously.

"Come on, at that time, my own shares have been diluted to single digit percentages, and I should be able to cash in on the discount as soon as possible. With the capital in hand, I will be an investor directly.

Besides, do you think the US government will allow a Chinese person to hold so many high-quality information industry assets? "

What Erniu has not considered is that even if it is diluted to single digits, the value of the shares he holds is still an astronomical figure.

Ouyang Haotian smiled and said: "Capital has no national boundaries, but capitalists have to have it. Tell me, how do you think about it?"

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "My eldest son who is about to be born grows up in the United States. It's best not to put eggs in one basket."

Ouyang Haotian is a smart person, he immediately understood Erniu's thoughts, he said with a smile: "Then Mary will be troubled, if she doesn't have one or two more children, I'm afraid it won't be enough!"

Han Lei and Ouyang Haotian took care of most of the specific business matters, and Er Niu just made the final decision and proposed ideas.

Ma Taobao doesn't understand technology, but he can brag and have a team that can turn his awesomeness into reality. This is the most important thing.

What's interesting is that until now, most of the media still haven't found Erniu, the super Internet rich man hidden in the NBA.

The regular season continues. Ruan Erniu leads the Clippers to face the Wizards challenge at home. It is still the same old problem. When Jon Wall and Yang Shaoxia are on the court at the same time, the overall operation of the Wizards will not be smooth.

This time, both were frozen by the Clippers' defense at the same time.

Ruan Erniu scored 57 points and recorded a super double-double with 21 rebounds. This is his fourth consecutive 50+ game, and he is only one game away from his own record of 5+ games in 50 consecutive regular season games. gap.

Since the Clippers lost Chauncey Billups, Ruan Erniu has deliberately increased his shots, and the result is naturally obvious.

Paul admires Erniu more and more. Even Kobe Bryant only completed 4 consecutive 50+ performances once in his peak period, while Ruan Erniu has only completed two performances in the fifth year of his career. And in terms of shooting percentage and offensive efficiency, Er Niu is far better than Kobe.

Under normal circumstances, Ruan Erniu scored a high score, which means that the team will have a great chance of winning.

Two days later, the Clippers head to Portland, where they will challenge the Trail Blazers away.

LaMarcus Aldridge missed this game due to injury, the long lockout period, and the compressed regular season have caused frequent injury problems in the NBA, and even team leaders cannot avoid this situation.

In view of the fact that Adelaide is actually playing the center position, the Blazers' center curse has once again been put on the table.

Ade was in a hurry, he roared angrily: "Laozi is the big front!"

The starting lineup sent by the Blazers for this game is:
C Marcus Camby
PF Gerard Wallace

SF Nicholas Batum

SG Wesley Matthews

PG Raymond Felton

On the Blazers' bench, there is still the super sixth man of Erniu's time in the Eagles-Jamal Crawford.

J-crossover did not have a good life in the Trail Blazers. It is undoubtedly a torment for a player who is used to winning to live a life of losing.

When Ruan Erniu greeted Crawford on the sidelines, he took the initiative to solicit: "Come to the Clippers in summer! We are short of a high-quality sixth man here."

The Clippers thought it was a game that could be easily won, but the progress of the game was a little bit struggling.

The two teams played very anxiously from the first quarter of the game. The two sides took the lead alternately, and the score has not been able to draw.

Relatively speaking, the Blazers played more overall, while the Clippers relied entirely on the high output of Ruan Erniu to deal with their opponents.

Paul's Redick, Paul, and Kawhi all turned into blacksmiths.

Kenyon Martin, who just came to the Clippers, obviously has not returned to the rhythm of the NBA game. He actually smashed the alley-oop dunks that were really necessary.

If it weren't for the veteran Sean Battier's stable performance, maybe the Blazers would lead the Clippers by a big score in the first quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, both teams started to hit the iron continuously. Here Paul shot 4 for 0 undercover shooting, and Jamal Crawford for the other side dared to respond with a wonderful performance of 5 for 1.

The undercover match between each other completely turned into a blacksmithing show, and the fans in the Rose Garden Arena watched it even more drowsily.

At 43:43, the two teams were tied at halftime.

The game time entered the third quarter, and Ruan Erniu finally decided to strengthen his personal offense. He scored 18 points in a single quarter, including three 3+2s.

In this quarter, the Celestials made 9 of 7 shots and 5 of 4 free throws.

Due to the poor touch on the perimeter, all of Bull's shots came from low positions. Neither Camby nor Gerald Wallace could stop the Bull's impact.

In fact, it's the same even if Adelrich is on the court. In all previous confrontations, Adelaide has never surpassed Er Niu's resume in terms of statistics.

At 30:17, the Clippers widened the score gap and entered the final quarter with a 13-point lead.

In the last quarter of the game, the Clippers finally showed their true level, and the girl-picking combination broke out. The two combined to score 25 points in the last quarter, taking the game away.

At 102:71, with their dominant performance in the second half, the Clippers successfully reaped the ball.

全场砍下61分，30板的阮二牛再次被评为本场最佳，这也是他连续第五场砍下50+以上的得分，这已经打平了他在09-10赛季创下的连续50+得分纪录。

The highest consecutive 50+ record in history is maintained by Wilt Chamberlain's record of 7 consecutive games, and only the last 2 games are left.

While people were still discussing whether Er Niu could break Chamberlain's great record, the Clippers had already flown back to Los Angeles.

They will usher in their revenge this season at home, because their opponent is the San Antonio Spurs.

Speaking of the most memorable loss of the Clippers this season, nothing is more than their loss to the San Antonio in the second game of the regular season.

The benchmark for the Spurs will always stand in front of all teams that aspire to a championship.

In the three games the Clippers have lost so far, the defeats against the Timberwolves and the Nuggets were all due to physical problems and suffered Waterloo. Only the Spurs used overall protection to suppress the Clippers.

Before the start of the game, Popovich even said in joking words: "Our tactics have not changed from the last game against the Clippers. We will do our best to help Kraft Nguyen surpass Chamberlain's record. , we will take the victory of the game by the way."

At that time, Tim Duncan was next to Popovich, and he made a smile that was hard to explain in words. After all, according to the Spurs coach, he was going to be blown up by Kraft Nguyen again.

Someone from the Spurs stood up to speak, and the Clippers also had to express their views on this focus battle.

Ruan Erniu said in a very positive tone: "We have no retreat, everyone knows that the game against the Spurs is not easy, but if we don't beat our opponents, it will only prove that we are not yet qualified to challenge for the championship.

We will definitely beat our opponents tonight, this is our ladder to victory!As for my personal data, that's just a subsidiary of victory. "

Paul also said before the game: "In the last game, I was at the bottom of the game against Parker, and I will do better in this game than the last game.

We are not the same team at the beginning of the season. At that time, our lineup had just been formed and had not been run-in in actual combat.This confrontation is the real contest between us and the Spurs. "

On February 2012, 2, US time, the Clippers faced the Spurs at the Staples Center.

The Clippers' starting lineup for this game has changed slightly:
C DeAndre Jordan
PF Ruan Erniu

SF Sean Shane Shane

SG JJ* Reddick

PG Chris Paul
Letting Battier start instead of Leonard is Ruan Erniu's compromise. In the face of the powerful Spurs, Battier, who has more tests, is indeed more suitable to appear in the starting position.

The Spurs' starting lineup tonight also changed a bit:
C Dejuan Blair

PF Tim Duncan
SF Richard Jefferson

SG Danny Green
PG Tony Parker
Unknowingly, Danny Green, who could hardly find a chance to play last season, finally won the starting position gradually with his performance.

It all started with that phone call last fall.

At that time, the league was in a lockout period, and Green's agent suggested that he go overseas to play, but Green refused.

He chose to concentrate on training in the Development League, trying to find a way to return to the NBA.

In the early fall of 2011, when everything started to look good, Green picked up the phone and dialed the number that would make him worth tens of millions.

Later, Jeff McDonald, a Spurs columnist for the San Antonio Express-News, described the scene where Green left a voicemail for Popovich:
Fed up with G League life, buses, bad food and cheap hotels, Green picked up the phone and called the coach who had fired him two months earlier.

Popovich didn't answer, so Green left a voicemail.

Here's what Green said: "I'm ready. Let me do whatever it takes to get me back on the team. Hand the towel, the water. This time, I'm going to take it seriously. I'm going to do whatever little things I can do. things."

Popovich was struck by Green's humility, and after listening to the struggling player's pleas, he signed Green right away until the end of the season.

Although this is the operation of the Spurs, it is more of Popovich's personal decision.

Perhaps Popovich didn't know it himself, but his small move actually made the Spurs not think about the defense of the backcourt for a long time in the future.

By the way, at the same time, Popovich also indirectly created a familiar NBA nickname "Huang Ama" for Chinese fans.
