Chapter 54: The Difference Between the Strong and the Weak

The situation on the basketball court is ever-changing, opportunities are fleeting, and strength and weakness are always changing.

If you can take your chances, the underdogs can come back and win.

There has always been a saying in the NBA that there are no weak teams in the NBA, and even the bottom-ranked vice president can beat the defending champion.

It's really a matter of probability.

Tonight, Little Tiger amplified that probability.

In other words, he has always been good at expanding this probability, and even to some extent has taken this probability as a law.

Doug Refus tried to swap out Perkins in the fifth minute of the fourth quarter.

However, the substitution of Glen Davis could not support the depth of the box, and on the contrary, his defense also dragged Kevin Garnett's footsteps.

Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett tried to fight back in the final moments, but by this time, the Little Tiger could not give them another chance. Three consecutive strikes into the paint zone and a resolute goal to give Boston a head-on blow.

It's a superstar trick!

It's also a ruthlessness inherited from the black mamba!

106:98。

The final score was fixed at this number.

Kevin Garnett finished the game with 22 points, 16 rebounds and 2 blocks. For him, a veteran who has been in the league for 95 years, it is already a highlight moment.

Paul Pierce had 32 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists tonight, which was also blameless.

Even Ray Allen, who only played 18 minutes, scored 14 points and three rebounds.

The Big Three played very well!

However, they ran into a little tiger.

38 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block.

He's playing LeBron-esque stats.

If it was T-NT commentating on the game tonight, Charles Barkley would definitely roar excitedly: "Look, I'm right!

However, tonight's national livestream is ESPN.

After the game, Jeff Van Gundy still declared that Boston didn't lose strategically and didn't do anything wrong tactically. The only problem was that Ray Allen had calf cramps and couldn't play!

He was right.

This was indeed the most important reason for Boston's defeat.

But so what?

The Golden State Warriors who are now winning 1-0.

Little Tiger once again broke the law of the strong. He declared with iron-clad facts: Lao Tzu is so special to destroy Haoqiang!

This was the case in the first game with the Lakers, and now it is the same with Boston!

After the game, Little Tiger refused ESPN's visit for a simple reason, and directly confronted ESPN's saying: "I only accept T-NT's sideline interview!"

Such an answer distressed ESPN.

They have also made a complaint to the league officials, arguing that Little Tiger does not respect the media. It is believed that Little Tiger's behavior has harmed ESPN's interests, after all, they are not paying high broadcast fees to accept the cold face of superstars.

Their demands are normal.

Little Tiger's reaction is also normal, and he does not accept an interview with a platform that connives, and its commentators maliciously smear themselves, which is a choice that normal people will make.

The NBA officials are in a dilemma, on the one hand, he has to face the demands of the broadcasters, who spend a lot of money.

But, on the other hand, they don't want to offend the little tiger.

Only Little Tiger can skyrocket the ratings and at the same time make the NBA's influence skyrocket.

It's a dilemma.

So, they choose not to answer the question and ignore it!

Each appeal is not read.

ESPN doesn't dare to really flip the tables yet, because they have 100% reason to believe it. Once they are open to the NBA, T-NT and other media outlets, including Time Warner, will quickly intervene and steal their share.

So, under many trade-offs, they could only swallow this bitter fruit and endure the arrogance of the little tiger.

After all, in this society with complex interests, no one can make decisions at will.

Except, of course, for Little Tigers.

"Little Tiger is the only one in the league who dares to ban ESPN. The Magic sighed heartily: "All the other players, even you or LeBron James, even if they are told unfair things by ESPN, still have to smile when they are interviewed." The power of the media can easily ruin a player, even a superstar!"

"However, Tiger was an accident. He doesn't care about ESPN's comments at all, and not just because he has T-NT's platform to help him cheer up. What's more, basketball is not an important part of his territory, basketball is just the least profitable game in his life. ”

"Whether it's the fans, or the NBA owners, or David Stern. Everyone was hoping that he would play the game for a little longer. Because as long as he's playing, the alliance's influence can expand rapidly. ”

The magician sighed at the end: "However, someone in the Lakers swept him away. I really don't know what's going on in his head?"

Kobe Bryant raised an eyebrow.

"If you have to find a reason," he said. Presumably, half a year ago, the valuations of Internet sites such as Facebook and Twitter were not as high as they are now. Of course, it can also be said that it was because there was no news of Batman's release at that time. ”

"He's hiding it too well. It's hard to imagine that a super-rich man with a net worth of more than 10 billion or maybe even 100 billion dollars would spend his days at my house eating steaks. ”

When the black mamba said this, he was a little helpless: "You know, I'm just a billionaire at best." ”

……

As the Black Mamba said. The little tiger before was a little too low-key, or people were busy laughing at him at the time. joked that he was a fortune boy in Silicon Valley, and joked that he had a hot fight with the tiger girls, constantly tossing and turning in the rooms of various female stars.

But now, those who laugh at it can't get the corners of their mouths up anymore.

Little Tiger became a real internet mogul while Hollywood built his empire. By the way, he also became a shareholder of Adidas and owned his own independent label. Of course, he has his own team. If you do go to the NASDAQ, you can also find that he is the largest private shareholder of many large companies.

"Money doesn't matter to me. ”

Little Tiger was interviewed by a prestigious financial weekly at his hotel in Boston, and the veteran journalist usually interviews political tycoons, oil tycoons or Internet upstarts.

So, this was indeed the first time he had faced a guy who was wearing a basketball jersey and was still lying on a massage table for a masseuse to give him a full body treatment.

"I don't know exactly how much money I have, but I can tell you that my original capital was $100 million in loans from the bank with an Adidas contract and a guarantee from the president of Adidas. ”

"At the time, everybody's talking about it! Wow, that damn Stanford Chinese kid actually surpassed LeBron, and he actually got the biggest sponsorship deal ever. ”

"However, my main concern is. Damn, Lao Tzu will have to repay almost 15 million US dollars every year from now on. Where am I going to get all this money, my rookie contract is only four million a year, and I have to pay the damn rich tax. ”

Little Tiger easily spread out the past and told the senior reporter.

The reporter also found it amusing, and he asked the young rich man in front of him who was fighting for the NBA championship: "At that time, in what situation did you make such a huge loan? Aren't you afraid?"

"I didn't know to be scared at all, I didn't think about it that much. Now the 100 million is still lying quietly in a certain Internet company in China, but the company is developing well. I don't know when he plans to go public, I don't care about this at all. I'm not going to rush to cash out at all. You know, money doesn't mean anything to me at all. ”

Little Tiger pretended to be very calm: "I haven't worried about money since I was a child." For me, investing is a numbers game, and I don't even care about the numbers. My agent, Lin Wanwan. She was a great trader, she managed all my accounts clearly and put my ideas into practice. If you have time, you should go to Los Angeles and interview her. ”

"Actually, we just came from Los Angeles. Of course, before going to Los Angeles, we also went to China. We learned about your father, who is now the richest man in China because he hoarded a lot of land in advance. But he told me that all the land was yours. Moreover, he also revealed that you and Miss Lin Wanwan will have a grand wedding this winter!"

The reporter's words surprised the little tiger.

Little Tiger himself didn't know about the marriage.

Of course, he didn't take the initiative to talk about it.

As the most high-end financial report, they don't have the heart to understand these gossip things. Their audience will always be the world's most high-end political and business people. For political and business people, marriage is nothing more than a relatively stable relationship of production.

"Yes, the land is technically mine. So, when I was renting an apartment in Portland, I was stunned every day. The last second, I was thinking. I'm a big landowner in China, and the next second I'm going to have to face the tiny three-bedroom apartment in front of me. Of course, the environment is nice and the landlord is nice. ”

The little tiger talked eloquently, the physiotherapist asked him to change his position, and he began to be interviewed face up.

The reporter asked him: "Have you ever wondered what you would do if your investments all failed?"

"Nope. ”

Little Tiger shook his head, his tone firm: "I'm never worried about failure. ”

"Is this based on intuition, or confidence, or is it a combination of judgments?" the reporter asked.

The little tiger was stumped by this question, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "It should be the prophet of the unknown." ”

"I can feel very clearly where the world is going, and I know which companies will succeed and which ones will fail. All I need to do is get my hands on enough money and give it to companies that will succeed. ”

Little Tiger is serious, and it's completely heartfelt.

But the financial reporter just smiled slightly, which is the tone he is used to hearing, and many successful people will say so. And the reason for saying this is to show off his judgment.

The last thing that made the reporter raise his eyebrows was the last sentence: "And, even if I fail." I wouldn't worry that with my friendship with Kobe Bryant, he wouldn't have kicked me away even if I spent the rest of my life at his house. He won't find a better partner than me!"

"So, your relationship with Mr. Kobe Bryant is good enough to give the rest of your life?"

He asked a less financial question.

Little Tiger smiled and replied, "Just kidding." However, it was really hard for him to refuse me, even though I ate filet mignon every day. ”

Then the financial writer asked, "I heard that the foundation that bought 49 percent of your team was actually made up of five Tiger Girls? and now you've transferred the other 51 percent to your fiancΓ©e." Is there a special meaning to do this, or is it something else? Aren't you worried about disputes when you have a board meeting?"

Little Tiger raised an eyebrow: "Unfortunately, my alma mater, Stanford University, didn't teach me how to answer such questions. ”

β€œOK!”

The reporter laughed and said, "Let's talk about the company of your senior, Mr. Jobs." I've heard that you're now almost entirely in your team's locker room owning Apple. But now that Apple's valuation is plummeting due to the financial crisis, do you think this will be a destabilizing factor for your team?"

"Not really!"

Little Tiger shrugged: "I have bought hundreds of millions of dollars in the past two days, and I am already the third largest shareholder of Apple." In fact, Kobe Bryant also recently bought more than $20 million. In fact, if it weren't for his wife's strong opposition, I would have even wanted him to buy 50 million. ”

"Sooner or later, he will understand, me and Vanessa, who is really good for him!"

Little Tiger had a wicked smile on his face, as if he was used to saying something ambiguous with Kobe Bryant in the media.

Although these words will make some people think that he is not oriented to the problem.

Of course, this is just a small group of people.

"So, can I understand that? You highly recommend Apple as a stock?" asked the financial reporter.

"Nope. I just strongly recommend this stock to people close to me, you know?" Little Tiger replied cautiously: "My words to others are always, the stock market is risky, and investment needs to be cautious!"

This lack of leakage makes it difficult for journalists to associate with his image.

"Now it's all the talk that you're going to be a billionaire, but you're still running around the pitch, playing physical games with a bunch of millionaires or multi-millionaires, and sometimes even getting into a heated physical altercation with them. Is this the life you want?"

The reporter asked a very crucial question.

"Actually, being a billionaire is just my net worth, which doesn't mean I can come up with that much cash. I'm still saddled with some debt, and I need to pay off the bank close to $50 million a year. ”

"Fifty million is not much. The financial reporter added: "Compared to your wealth, this is a number that is too healthy to be healthy." ”

Little Tiger sighed and said, "Based on this situation, I will have a full career." Of course, I can make more money by releasing albums or making movies. But... Basketball is my passion and I love the feeling of chasing on the court. ”

"If I wasn't allowed to play, I didn't know what to do. ”

"So, I'm going to keep playing in the future. ”

……

After being interviewed by a financial reporter, Little Tiger deliberately talked to his sister in China on the phone.

Ms. Shelly Yang told him very politely on the phone: "Don't you plan to get married? You are 23 years old, and you must not go on like this." It's time to start a family. ”

Little Tiger made sure that Ms. Yang on the other end of the phone was not crazy, and he asked, "Why do I have to get married when I'm 23? Why don't you knot?"

"I'm giving up on myself, can't I? You have to get married anyway. And hurry up and give birth to a child, your old Zhou is now going crazy every day, the eldest uncle and the second uncle have hugged their grandson, but he doesn't, can he not be greedy? Just listening to your screaming in the United States, he is stunned and does not lay eggs. Even if you give birth to a mixed-race person, let the old Zhou family open up foreign meat. ”

Shelly Yang is now a mouthful of Beijing films.

This made Mr. Little Tiger uncomfortable. He said, "I find your mind dangerous. Can this kind of thing mess up?"

"Then you will give birth to a big fat boy with a bend! Add two more daughters and give them to me! I will be lonely and old in the future. ”

"you. You will give birth to yourself. ”

The little tiger hung up the phone angrily.

He knew that basically the old Zhou family had already set the tone for this matter.

But... I haven't given her an explanation yet.

It's okay to give an explanation, but the problem is how to explain to the other six. You can't just go to Los Angeles and tell Wanwan: "This is the Liuwei Dihuang Pill, plus you, let's just make a gourd baby!"

Isn't this nonsense?

Zhou Zheng's children are still very pure, and his moral concepts are very sound, he advocates monogamy!

However, the current situation may have to be followed by polygamy.

This... After arriving, it will inevitably involve the competition for favor, the rain and dew will definitely be fine, the little tiger classmate is talented in this area, the seven fields are all ploughed, and his cow is not panting.

Alas!

Little Tiger sighed. Annoying!

……

Don Nelson was also annoyed.

Although the team stole a victory in Boston, he felt like a mirror in his heart, and if Ray Allen didn't have leg cramps, there was no chance of victory at all.

In the second game, if none of the Big Three players had leg cramps, they would basically have to rest here.

Little Tiger has been practicing jump shots since the end of the game.

By the first game, he had thoroughly understood. No matter how tenacious the teammates are, it is impossible to wipe out the Big Three. The only thing that can be done now is to be more capable of attacking than they are. And the quickest way to do that is to improve your jump shooting percentage.

Make yourself create an attack that covers half of the court, so that all other players' attacking abilities will be stimulated.

However, the effect is not very significant.

Although I don't know how many times stronger than when I first joined the league, it is still relatively difficult to form a stable output of the hit rate. In the case of defense, it can probably reach about three out of five. Although this hit rate can maintain a certain threat, if you want to kill Boston just like that, you don't hesitate to dream!

Time moves forward, and it doesn't stop for a moment.

A day passed without any improvement. The only change in the little tiger was that he had a nosebleed in the morning.

It made him feel distressed about his anatomy, and it had been a long time since he had done that!

The little tiger still had a discipline, and he stopped the bleeding and went to the North Shore Garden Arena.

After a day of practice, the evening competition officially began.

The Boston fans were still very motivated tonight, and when the little tigers entered, they still broke out into an overwhelming boo.

Of course, Boston players can still tear their voices apart when they enter the game, especially when Kevin Garnett's trademark roar.

Ray Allen is healthy tonight, he doesn't have cramps anymore, probably because he took calcium supplements in time.

Tonight's ESPN simply broke the jar and broke down, and they stranded Reggie Miller, who was leaning towards the little tigers, and replaced him with Bill Walton.

Who is Bill Wharton, he is a hardcore Green Army. For the sake of Boston, he dared to kill his hometown team, the Los Angeles Lakers, and now that the little tiger is hitting the door, can he spare the little tiger?

He and Jeff Van Gundy hit it off at first sight, respected each other like guests, raised eyebrows, and the two teamed up to show the ...... to a national audience Three hundred and sixty-five tips for the little black tiger!

Whether it's a breakaway, an assist, a steal, or a score!

They can always find another way, renovate tricks, and use all kinds of methods to discredit the little tiger by making people 'I can rely on it, and I can still do this'.

And they lived up to their expectations in the end.

The Golden State Warriors ultimately lost, and although they took the game to the final three minutes, they still couldn't stop the triumvirate from coming together.

Little Tiger finished with 45 points and 12 assists.

However, the team's total score failed to break 100!

No one can blame the rest of the Warriors because they have really done their defense to the extreme, even as an art.

However, the power gap is the power gap.

This is not something that can be compensated for by willpower.

When the little tiger left the arena, his expression was calm.

The Warriors also followed him with their heads up, no one had the frustration of defeat on their faces, they just wanted to go home now and kill the Boston Celtics with more active action!

"I have a lot of respect for the Golden State Warriors and a lot of respect for the Little Tigers. He was flawless tonight, but they were up against the more perfect Boston Celtics. We have three All-Stars, and they only have one!" Paul Pierce said frankly in his postgame press conference, "and they have a great future ahead of them." I've been very aware of this, Kevin understands it, and Ray knows it. This year will be the closest we've come to an overall championship. ”

No one disagrees with this.

No one would think it was that Tim Duncan said to LeBron James.

The remnants of the Golden State Warriors can push the Big Three to this point.

After next season's reinforcements, who can guarantee that they can beat the Golden State Warriors safely?

Moreover, Little Tiger has not officially entered the prime of his career.

He's still on his rookie contract.

……
