After signing in all NBA home games, I am invincible

The Pacers finished all the games before Christmas with a beautiful record of six consecutive wins, with a record of 15 wins and 11 losses, continuing to consolidate the sixth place in the Eastern Conference, and at the same time, they are 0.5 half-games behind the fifth-placed Bulls in the Eastern Conference.

Christmas is approaching, and He Feng, Paul George and others have a short vacation - 5 days.

Yes, the Pacers will not participate in the "Christmas game" this year.

Their next game is on the 28th.

He Feng and his teammates took a flight back to Indiana and began to enjoy a short vacation.

…

In the NBA President's Office, Stern looked at the schedule on Christmas Day, frowning and angry.

He pushed his glasses, took a deep breath, and said; "Who arranged the Christmas game this year?"

The assistant next to him lowered his head. Although Stern's tone was flat, he heard dissatisfaction and anger.

He said hurriedly; "The schedule for this season was set by Mr. Adam Joke."

"Tell him to come to my office, I have something to say to him."

"Yes!"

Not long after, a thin, bald middle-aged man with thin-framed glasses and a shrewd face walked into Stern's office. It was Joke.

Joke has a long career. He has been working in the NBA since the early 1990s. He has served as Stern's special assistant and has now been promoted to NBA vice president.

Stern is about to retire, and his successor is likely to be Joke.

"President, what do you want to talk to me about?" Joke's attitude was very humble.

"Take a close look at this year's Christmas game schedule!" Stern said in a cold tone.

Joke was full of doubts, not knowing what made Stern dissatisfied. He looked carefully and tried to find out the problem.

For a long time, he read it over and over again, thinking about it in his heart, but he still couldn't figure out what was wrong with this schedule.

This year, there are five games scheduled for the Christmas War, namely Celtics vs. Nets, Knicks vs. Lakers, Thunder vs. Heat, Rockets vs. Bulls, Nuggets vs. Clippers.

There is really no problem with this arrangement! Every team that participates in the game is not simple, with both strength and fame, and the popularity it brings is unquestionable.

"President? I really don't know what's wrong. Every matchup is full of topics, and popularity is inevitable."

Joke lowered his head and expressed his doubts.

"Topic? Popularity? Since you have said these two words, don't you know what the problem is?"

Stern's tone was flat, but it made Joke feel uncomfortable and shudder.

He finally figured out the problem!

During this period, if we only talk about topicality and popularity, the Pacers are definitely at the forefront of the league.

The Christmas War is known as the "NBA Spring Festival Gala" and has received great attention. Generally, only famous teams can participate.

But he missed a famous and popular Pacers!

The Pacers have won six consecutive victories over the Celtics, last season's runner-up Thunder, and the defending champions. They have been on a strong momentum recently.

Moreover, He Feng has risen from nowhere, leading the team to a comeback with 30 points in a single quarter, 15 three-pointers in a single game, 58 points in a single game, and 48 points to defeat the Heat...

His performance is really amazing.

He Feng is the next NBA superstar!

However, on such a big stage as the Christmas game, He Feng did not appear.

For the NBA and the fans, it is a huge loss!

The Pacers' failure to play in this year's Christmas game is a serious "work error" that is ridiculous.

"President, I'm sorry. I didn't think it through!"

He felt very aggrieved in his heart. "The schedule was officially confirmed before the start of the season and was implemented after the start of the season. The arrangement at that time was the best choice.

Who knew that on the eve of the Christmas game, an unknown player and an unknown team suddenly broke out, sweeping the league and exploding with heat.

I don't have the ability to predict the future, so I didn't expect these "accidents" to happen.

Besides, wasn't this schedule officially finalized by old man Stern? Now I blame myself!"

"It's good to know! You go out first!

There are still many things to learn, don't think you have understood everything!"

Stern rubbed his temples with a cold tone.

"Yes!"

Joke left the office with respect.

When he walked out of the door, his eyes suddenly became gloomy.

He was inexplicably taught a lesson, so his mood was naturally not very good.

He always felt that Stern's words were full of hidden meanings. "Is he warning himself? He still has a long way to go before he can become a president?"

The anger on Stern's face did not dissipate.

In fact, he also knew that the schedule had been determined and could not be easily changed.

Even if it was a pity that the Pacers missed the Christmas game, they could only let it go.

He called Joke in person for this matter just to criticize him.

Even if there was no Christmas game, he would find other reasons.

He has been working hard for the NBA for nearly 30 years, and even regarded the development of the NBA as more important than his own life.

Now that the NBA is thriving, he naturally does not want the NBA to go downhill after his retirement.

For this reason, it is very important to select a qualified successor.

It's just that in recent years, Xiao Hua often made some tricks, which made him dissatisfied.

This year, Joke even proposed legalizing gambling!

This idea runs counter to him.

His goal has always been to promote the NBA to the world and increase its global influence.

As for the legalization of league gambling, he has always directly refused.

He couldn't stand the fact that the ideas of his subordinates who he had cultivated for many years were completely different from his own.

Now, the philosophy of Mark Tam, another vice president of the NBA, is consistent with his own!

How to choose between jokes and Mark? Stern has his own considerations.

…

On days without games, He Feng has a leisurely life.

He received a call from Paul George.

Paul George got straight to the point and invited him to his house to spend Christmas.

How could he refuse a free dinner?

What's more, He Feng lives alone and he doesn't celebrate Christmas himself, so he just went to join in the fun.

What can two young, strong and vigorous men do together?

Of course, it's to see who is tougher!

He Feng and Paul George actually went to the gym to train for an afternoon!

The training content is only one: one-on-one.

"Huff, huff~"

Pickled Pepper lay on the floor with his arms and legs spread out, gasping for breath, shaking his head repeatedly, "No, no!"

He Feng held a basketball, half-crouched beside Pickled Pepper, his face full of disdain, "No way? No way? You are weak already? You are too soft, aren't you? Come again!"

"You are not a human being!

Don't you see how long we have been fighting, and it is still a high-consumption duel, who can stand this?

Only a monster like you is fine!"

Pickled Pepper's eyes were full of shock, and his words were excited.

Then, he looked suspicious and continued, "By the way, I am very curious, why are you so durable? It seems that your physical strength is always endless!"

He Feng said seriously without blushing or beating his heart, "This is my talent, unlimited physical strength!"

"Forget it!"

Pickled Pepper rolled his eyes, thinking that this guy was talking nonsense again.

"What kind of talent is that?

His physical strength must have been developed through training. He trained like he was risking his life before. After the devilish training, the effect is obvious!

It seems that I have to train harder too!"

Pickled Pepper has made up his mind.
