Super Role Player
Chapter 298: Upset
The Spurs cleanly killed the Grizzlies 4:0. In this way, the Spurs did not lose a game in the first two rounds of the playoffs and easily entered the Western Conference Finals.
However, the Grizzlies gave up the final battle, but they were criticized by the media, but Lionel Hollins gave a very appropriate reason, and there was no major disturbance.
"We played three games, Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol, Mike Conley and Tony Allen. They all played more than 40 points. Mark was also injured. I think a 0:3 behind. The series will not be more important than the players' careers. They need to be healthy so that they can start all over again next year."
Hollins has a lot of reasons, but the media don't care about it. Hollins gave up the game early. This is a fact.
So the verbal criticism continued, and the storm was worse than before. Although Marc Gasol and the others stood up one by one to support Lionel Hollins, the media did not mean to stop at all.
Knowing that a few days later, Hollins faced the media again and made a final announcement. He announced that his Grizzlies career was over...
The end of Hollins' Grizzlies career? Is he leaving the Grizzlies? This announcement by Hollins suddenly became big news, and the previous verbal criticism was immediately covered up. Hollins, who is in charge of the Grizzlies and has been improving for years, is actually going to leave the Grizzlies? Why is that?
For a while, the entire United States was contracted by Hollins, and his news was everywhere.
But at this moment, Anxi took a rare day and rushed to Los Angeles.
At Los Angeles International Airport, Anxi walked out of the airport in small steps. At the airport gate, a pick-up sign was very bright, and it said "Anxi".
An Xi quickly walked over, and then reached out to the person who picked him up.
"Long time no see, Mina."
Menachem Rabin, the old classmate of Anxi, shook hands, then smiled and hugged each other.
"Long time no see, Ann."
...
In the car, Anxi checked the time from time to time, and Menachem Rabin asked with a smile: "What's the matter, Ann? Is there anything wrong with you?"
"Of course, Mina, you know, I took time off, so I only have one day."
"Relax, Ann, everything has been negotiated. The money arrives today. As soon as it arrives, I will ask Koum to call you the money. After you sign the contract, it will be settled with us."
Anxi nodded, and then shook his head: "I hope it will be sooner. My return flight tickets have already been booked. I will go back as soon as the money arrives."
...
The two quickly drove to a cafe in downtown Los Angeles. The environment here is relatively quiet. Anxi quickly met Kom, the developer of whatsapp, Anxi and Kom met, but that was already before the investment. Up.
"Ann, are you sure you want to discount? You must know that Facebook is the one who acquired us. It is very likely that we will continue to add value in the future." Koum looked at Anxi with a doubtful face, as if he didn't understand Anxi's thoughts.
Anxi also understands that after being acquired by Facebook, whatsapp will have a higher exposure rate, downloads will rise by a notch, and the utilization rate will be higher. On the one hand, Anxi does not want to take this risk. If it is acquired, the market value will be greatly reduced. What? On the other hand, Anxi felt that he could use the money soon after he got it.
"No, Koum, I insist on discounting." Anxi said firmly.
Colm shook his head: "Well, it's up to you, wait another hour, and the money will be paid."
The negotiation for the acquisition lasted for several months. It just ended a few days ago, and the amount has been determined. Facebook will acquire WhatsApp for US$19 billion, and the EU antitrust regulator only approved the acquisition yesterday.
So the money arrived today.
Anxi waited for more than half an hour before Colme walked in from outside.
"The money has arrived, Ann, this is a contract, and we now need to calculate the amount of money you deserve."
An Xi nodded. In fact, in the matter of discounting, although the amount involved is huge, An Xi was not prepared to make it difficult for Kom and Mina, because he invested a year ago and only invested 2.5 million US dollars. As a result, One year later, the income actually doubled hundreds of times. Such income has made Anxi very satisfied.
The calculation of the amount is very simple. Anxi occupies a 5% stake in WhatsApp, and this time Facebook is a full acquisition, so Anxi can directly withdraw 5% from the US$19 billion.
I don’t need a computer, I use mental arithmetic, and I can calculate it all at once. Anxi can be divided into 950 million, of course there will be a lot of fractions. Koum seems very serious, and there are a lot of fractions, so he directly counted them all to Anxi.
The final amount was 956.22 million. Under the witness of the notary and the lawyer, the money was instantly credited to the account provided by Anxi. Then Anxi signed the contract and everything was over.
Two hours later, Anxi appeared at Los Angeles International Airport. He took a deep breath and it was over.
For most of the day, Anxi’s account had a huge sum of money close to one billion, and Anxi couldn’t believe it until now that this money belonged to him.
For Menachem Rabin, Anxi is also very grateful, but now whatsapp has been acquired, Menachem Rabin is already a small local tyrant, Anxi can only thank Rabin from the heart.
Back in San Antonio, Anxi just went home and celebrated with Abby, and then continued to prepare for the Western Conference Finals as a okay person. As for this huge sum of money, Anxi will naturally use it behind, but not now.
The Spurs swept the Grizzlies 4:0 and started preparing for the second round early, but the games of other teams were tangled up.
The Thunder played four games with the Warriors. After the four games, the Thunder led by 3:1. It seemed that there was only one game left before the promotion. But back to the first game at home, the game started not long after Russell Westbrook. When he broke through, he bumped into Drummond Green, then he hugged his leg and began to scream, and he was also lifted out of the field.
Without Russell Westbrook, the Thunder was directly shot through by the Warriors' three-pointer. After 3:1, they were not able to win the game directly, but were dragged into the sixth game by the Warriors.
In the Eastern Conference, the Heat defeated the Bulls in four straight games after losing the first game. After five games, they have successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference finals.
However, the Pacers and the Knicks played fiercely. The first four games were tied 2:2. In the fifth game, the Knicks won at home. As a result, in Indianapolis, the Pacers pulled back one game tenaciously and the game was directly dragged into. The tiebreaker.
And then, Russell Westbrook’s injury report came out. He suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee. He will undergo surgery and will be reimbursed for the season...
The news hit Thunder's head like a bolt from the blue.
Without Russell Westbrook, the sixth game between the Thunder and the Warriors began in Oakland. Stephen Curry from the outside of the Warriors once again turned on fire, hit 8 three-pointers in the game, and defeated Durant again. Thunder, equalize the big score!
Then, the Pacers and the Knicks held a tie-break. The Knicks played well in the opening game. They were once ahead of the Pacers. It seems that the Knicks are the ones who advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals and met the Heat.
But in the third quarter, the Pacers played a wave of 18:4 and directly overtook the score. This wave of offensive climax made the Knicks dumbfounded and failed to react until the end of the game.
Amidst the boos of Madison Square Garden Arena, the Pacers took away the victory from New York and eventually defeated the Knicks 4:3 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the seventh game between the Thunder and the Warriors, almost no one is optimistic about the Thunder, and even those who are optimistic about the Thunder feel that even if the Thunder can beat the Warriors in this game, the Thunder will lose to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.
The game unexpectedly turned into a one-sided game. The Warriors mastered the rhythm of the game from the beginning of the game, and then gradually took the lead, and in the second and third quarters, they crazily expanded their lead. After three quarters, The Warriors led by 20 points.
The Thunder's failure was inevitable, and Durant looked very depressed with his hips akimbo.
The fourth quarter quickly ended amidst the boos of Oklahoma City fans. The Warriors unexpectedly defeated the Thunder, won the tiebreak and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals!
Russell Westbrook’s injury in the fifth game became a turning point for this series. Otherwise, the Thunder, which was leading the 3-1 at the time, would not be dragged into the tie-break by the Warriors, and the Warriors would use Russell. Stbrook's reimbursement for the season, directly pulled three games, burst a big upset in the playoffs.
On the Eastern side, the Pacers won the Knicks, which is actually a small upset. After all, the regular season performance of this season is obviously better for the Knicks.
But the Pacers just won. They won because their performance was more stable. In contrast, the Knicks' performance has been up and down. It seems that the metropolis of New York has a very serious impact on them.
The second round of the East and West games was all over. The Warriors and Pacers unexpectedly entered the East and West finals, a big upset and a small upset, in short, they were all upsets.
The Western Spurs are against the Warriors. The Warriors are sixth in the regular season. From this ranking alone, the Warriors are a well-deserved dark horse. However, the media are not optimistic about the Warriors going further. The Spurs' stable performance in the first two rounds has already demonstrated their strength. Up.
On the Eastern side, the Heat are facing the Pacers, and there are not as many media optimistic about the Heat as the Spurs, because in the previous seasons, the Heat have always won the game dangerously and dangerously. This kind of performance In any case, it is not convincing.
Especially the local Indianapolis media, the Eastern Conference finals against the Heat, they even have further ideas, Paul George and Roy Hibbert became their confidence, after all, every time they play with the Heat, Roy Hibbert There will always be dazzling performances, and Paul George is their head star, so he was also entrusted with heavy responsibility.
