May 21, 2008, Los Angeles Staples Center, Lakers vs Spurs Western Conference Finals G1 Battle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Stern was there to watch the game, in the West, the war between the Spurs and the Lakers has continued from the last century to this century, the Lakers have occasionally fallen, the Spurs have been strong, but this season, the Lakers are clearly more champions.

In the first three quarters of the game, the Spurs had a slight advantage, but in the final quarter, Kobe Bryant suddenly entered a burst state, scoring 14 points in a single quarter, taking away the Spurs in a wave and successfully defending his home court.

Although his regular season MVP has been greatly questioned, after all, both Kraft Nguyen, who won the bunker data, and Chris Paul, who is far more efficient than him, have been called wronged, but as long as the Lakers can finally win the championship, all the controversy will disappear.

After the game, Stern went straight to the airport under the cover of the staff, and he was going to fly to Atlanta to watch the Celtics and Hawks G3 game in person.

It's not easy for the chairman of the alliance to be old, and he has to fly around.

Stern's energy is actually much less than it used to be, and he has been grooming his successor, and Xiao Hua is the No. 1 candidate so far.

Stern, as his name suggests, is the King David of the Union (King of Israel, the King of Spades on the playing cards), however the man who ascended to the throne from the shepherd must have a bunch of greedy and unruly guys to help him.

The United States is not the Celestial Empire, and there is no rule like Zhu Yuanzhang who wins the world and kills heroes, so for the sake of harmony and stability, Stern must also tolerate the existence of these guys, even if he doesn't like this group of people.

Xiao Hua is different, the rules of a son of heaven and a courtier are also applicable in the United States, when he enters the alliance and establishes a solid foundation, he will inevitably use the old to absorb the new, and completely kick out those unruly guys.

It's as if King Solomon listened to King David's last words and eventually killed Jogal and Shimei. Those guys in the alliance, if they don't know how to rein, sooner or later they will be in trouble.

Of course, there is still some time before Stern's departure, and the NBA is still thriving.

On the morning of the same day, Ruan Erniu met with Han Lei in a café in Boston, and after not seeing him for a while, this kid became more and more like an IT elite, and he couldn't see the unlucky appearance of coming to Atlanta to look for investment.

Han Lei said: "Yesterday's game, I watched it on TV, the Eagles simply beat the Celtics without temper, I heard that your probability of winning the championship has climbed to the highest!"

Erniu smiled: "Johnny, you are a programmer, you should not understand the relationship between probability and actual results." Matches are played one game at a time, and the probability is only a reference for gamblers when placing bets, and it can't help us win. ”

"Recently, is there any news of my sister?"

"Well, yes, I just had a phone call last night, and now the communication is basically restored. But she can't come back for a while, the disaster area is too miserable, but the later it is, the less likely she is to survive. They're just doing their last bit now. Ruan Erniu said in a low voice.

"I also organized employees to donate, so it's a little bit to help, after all, it's my own compatriots. Han Lei said.

Erniu smiled: "I didn't expect that sometimes, you Mi Guoyan are more reliable than the people of the Celestial Empire!"

Ruan Erniu, of course, pointed to the voices that appeared on the Internet after the earthquake, such as a girl surnamed Zhang (in fact, it should be surnamed Gao), and some democracy fighters actually stood up to cry out for her arrest, but everyone did not know that her behavior also violated the relevant laws.

Han Lei also smiled: "People are different, we just do ourselves." By the way, as you might expect, Jobs called me again, and he wanted to find time to meet with the two of us again. ”

Erniu shook his head and said, "I don't have time now, but I also received his call." Johnny, what do you think? I'd like to hear your opinion. ”

Han Lei took a sip of coffee and said after a long while: "To be honest, I want to reject him, but I don't want to completely cut off contact with Jobs." ”

"Very contradictory statement, let's talk about it specifically. ”

"IT'S ACTUALLY VERY SIMPLE, I WON'T SELL DROPBOX IN ITS ENTIRETY, AND OF COURSE I CAN'T SELL IT WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT. But I want to select the best technicians from within the company, re-establish a company that works exclusively for Apple, and then make that company work for Apple. ”

"As long as it is something that Jobs likes, he, a tyrant, wants it in every possible way. IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, HE IS INTERESTED IN YOUR CLOUD TECHNOLOGY, AS FOR DROPBOX ITSELF, HE MAY NOT HAVE SUCH A BIG DETERMINATION TO EAT IT, THE ECONOMIC CRISIS IS SO SERIOUS, APPLE'S STOCK PRICE IS NOT SLUGGISH THIS YEAR. Ruan Erniu said.

Han Lei nodded and said, "Who says it's not, I don't want to be bad with him, but being swallowed by him in one bite is obviously not in our interests, especially when our financial situation is so good." But I'm not sure if it will succeed. ”

Erniu nodded and said, "Wait until you are sure to do it, it's too late." I don't have time to see Jobs either, so I'll leave the details to you and Steven, and I'm sure you'll come up with a proper solution.

If we take a long-term view, we still have many threats, and Google will also focus on this sooner or later, and learn to race against time. I don't think it won't be long before Apple's I-series has a new member. ”

Han Lei smiled: "Actually, the name Jobs has already been chosen, and he told me his approximate intention in the last call!"

Ruan Erniu asked with interest, "What's the name?"

“icloud！”

The people of the United States are really direct enough, and of course, in business negotiations, this directness can improve efficiency and accuracy.

……

22 May 2008.

It's still the TD North Shore Garden Arena, where the Hawks will play the Celtics in G2.

Before the start of the game, the players of the two teams showed two very different forms before the game.

The Eagles, for part, were full of laughter, although in the first game, they themselves felt a little easy to win. But winning is winning, and the winner deserves everything.

The Celts, on the other hand, were serious and nervous, as if a team was about to go behind enemy lines on a death-defying mission. Even if everyone has the heart of seeing death as home, the body is still inevitably tense.

Erniu was interviewed by CSN reporter Charlotte Blacklin before the game.

"We're not going to relax in G2, Celtic are strong and we have to prepare for the worst and of course I want to go back to Atalanta with a 2-0 scoreline, that's the best way to start a story. ”

For the Celtics, Pierce was also interviewed later.

"We lost the first game, and in the past two days, we have been studying the video non-stop, and even watching the replay frame by frame, I think we have found a way, we will definitely win G2!"

Whether Pierce is talking big or has really found a cure for the "Eagle Raid" remains to be seen.

However, on-site commentator Tom Heinsohn only used one sentence to say what the Celtics were going to do in this game: "Hard work or regret, which is more painful?"

That's right, that's Celtic's team training!
