Chapter 298: Unpopular Outbreak (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The Spurs eliminated the Grizzlies 4-0 cleanly, so that in the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Spurs did not lose a single game and easily entered the Western Conference Finals. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the Grizzlies' abandonment of the last battle was criticized by the media, but Lionel Hollins gave a very appropriate reason to not make too much of a stir.

"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 series of 0-3 down is not more important than the players' careers, they need to be healthy so that they can start all over again next year. ”

Hollins had a lot of reasons, but the media didn't care so much, Hollins gave up the game early, and that's the truth.

So the verbal criticism continued, and the storm was worse than before, although Marc Gasol and they stood up one by one to support Lionel Hollins, but the media did not stop at all.

A few days after knowing this, Hollins faced the media again and made a final announcement in which he announced that his Grizzlies career was over......

Is Hollins' Grizzly Bear career over? Is he leaving the Grizzlies? Hollins' announcement suddenly became big news, and it immediately covered up the past with his previous verbal criticism, and Hollins, who has been at the helm of the Grizzlies and has been making progress year after year, is actually leaving the Grizzlies? Why is this?

All of a sudden, the whole of America 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 pieces, and at the entrance of the airport, a pick-up sign was very eye-catching, with "Anxi" written on it.

An Xi walked over quickly, and then stretched out his hand towards the person who picked him up.

"Long time no see, Mina. ”

Mena Hem Rabin, Anxi's old classmate, the two shook hands, and then hugged each other with a smile.

"Long time no see, Ann. ”

……

In the car, An Xi looked at the time from time to time, and Menahem Rabin asked with a smile, "What's the matter, An?

"Of course, Mina, you know, I took a leave of absence to come, so I only have a day. ”

"Don't worry, Ann, everything has been negotiated, the money will arrive today, as soon as it arrives, I will ask Kom to call you the money, you signed the contract, and we will settle it." ”

An Xi nodded, and then shook his head again: "I hope it's faster, my plane tickets for the return trip have been booked, and I'll go back as soon as the money arrives." ”

……

The two soon drove to a café in downtown Los Angeles, where the environment was relatively quiet, and Anxi soon met Cohm, the developer of Whatsapp, and Anxi and Comm had met, but that was before the investment.

"Ann, are you sure you want to cash out? You know, it's Facebook that bought us, and there's a good chance that we'll continue to grow in value in the future. Comm looked at An Xi with a questioning expression, as if he couldn't understand An Xi's thoughts.

Anxi also understands that after being acquired by Facebook, WhatsApp will have a higher exposure rate, the number of downloads will rise a notch, and the usage rate will be higher, but on the one hand, Anxi does not want to take this risk, what if the market value of the acquisition is greatly reduced?

"No, Cohm, I'm sticking to the discount. An Xi said firmly.

Comm shook his head: "Okay, then it's up to you, wait another hour, and the money will be there." ”

Negotiations for the takeover have been going on for months, just a few days ago, and the amount has been set, Facebook will buy WhatsApp for $19 billion, and the EU antitrust regulator only approved the acquisition yesterday.

So the money is coming in today.

Anxi waited for more than half an hour, and Comm walked in from outside.

"The money is here, Ann, it's the contract, and we need to calculate the amount of money you deserve now. ”

An Xi nodded, in fact, in the matter of discounting, although the amount involved is relatively huge, Anxi is not prepared to embarrass Comm and Mina, because he invested a year ago, only invested 2.5 million US dollars, and the result is that the income after a year has actually increased hundreds of times, and this kind of income has made An Xi very satisfied.

The calculation of the amount is simple, Anxi occupies 5% of the shares of WhatsApp, and this time Facebook is a full acquisition, so Anxi can directly take 5% of the $19 billion.

I don't need a computer, I calculated it all at once, Anxi can get 950 million, of course, there will be a lot of fractions, Comm seems very serious, there is no lot of fractions, and all of them are directly calculated to Anxi.

The final amount was 956.22 million, and the money was immediately transferred to the account provided by Anxi under the witness of the notary and lawyer, and then Anxi signed the contract, and everything was over.

Two hours later, Anxi showed up at Los Angeles International Airport, and he exhaled deeply, and it was over.

For most of the day, there was a huge amount of money close to one billion in Anxi's account, and Anxi still can't believe that this money belongs to him like this.

Anxi is also very grateful to Menahem Rabin, but now that whatsapp has been acquired, Menahem Rabin is already a little local tyrant, and Anxi can only thank Rabin from the heart.

Back in San Antonio, Anxi just went home to celebrate with Abby, and then continued to prepare for the Western Conference Finals as if he was nothing.

The Spurs swept the Grizzlies 4-0 and started preparing for the second round early, but the games of other teams were tangled.

The Thunder and the Warriors played four games, and after four games, the Thunder led 3:1, and it seemed that there was only one game left to advance, but in the first game back at home, not long after the game started, Russell Westbrook bumped into Draymond Green when he broke through, and then he hugged his leg and began to cry in pain, and he was also carried out of the court.

Without Russell Westbrook, the Thunder were directly penetrated by the Warriors' three-point shot, and after 3:1, they were not able to win the game directly, but were dragged into the sixth game by the Warriors.

On the Eastern side, the Heat defeated the Bulls in four games in a clean row after losing the first game, and have successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference finals after five games.

However, the Pacers and the Knicks played fiercely, the first four games were tied 2:2, the Knicks won at home in the fifth game, and the result was Indianapolis, the Pacers stubbornly pulled back one, and the game was directly dragged into the tie-break.

Then, Russell Westbrook's injury report came out, with a torn meniscus in his right knee and will undergo surgery to be reimbursed for the season......

The news hit Thunder like a bolt from the blue.

Without Russell Westbrook, the sixth game between the Thunder and the Warriors started in Oakland, and Stephen Curry on the outside of the Warriors was on fire again, hitting 8 three-pointers in the game, defeating the Thunder with only Durant left alone again, and equalizing the big score!

Then, the Pacers and the Knicks held a tie-break battle, and the Knicks played well at the beginning, leading the Pacers for a while, and it seemed that it was basically the Knicks 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, and this wave of offensive high-tide directly hit the Knicks in a daze, and they couldn't react until the end of the game.

Amid the boos at the Madison Square Garden arena, the Pacers walked away from New York to win the game and finally beat the Knicks 4-3 to advance 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 turned out to be a one-sided game, with the Warriors mastering the pace of the game from the start, then gradually taking the lead, and in the second and third quarters, they frantically extended the lead, and after three quarters, the Warriors led by 20 points.

The Thunder's defeat was inevitable, and Durant looked very depressed with his waist crossed.

The fourth quarter ended quickly to the boos of the Oklahoma City fans, and the Warriors unexpectedly defeated the Thunder, won the tiebreaker, and successfully advanced to the Western Conference finals!

The injury of Russell Westbrook in the fifth game became a turning point in this series, otherwise the Thunder, who led 3:1 at that time, would not have been dragged into the seven-game by the Warriors at all, and the Warriors took advantage of Russell Westbrook's season reimbursement to directly win three games in a row, blowing up a big upset in the playoffs.

On the Eastern side, the Pacers' win over the Knicks is actually a small upset, after all, the performance of the regular season this season is obviously better than the Knicks.

But the Pacers just won, and they won because they were more consistent, and in contrast, the Knicks were good and bad, and it seems that the metropolis of New York has a very serious impact on them.

The second round of the East and West is over, and the Warriors and Pacers unexpectedly entered the East and West finals, a big upset and a small upset, in short, an upset.

Western Spurs vs. Warriors, the Warriors are sixth in the regular season, judging from this ranking alone, the Warriors are a well-deserved dark horse, but the media is not optimistic about the Warriors going further, and the Spurs' stable performance in the first two rounds has been able to show their strength.

On the Eastern side, the Heat vs. the Pacers, and there are not as many media as the Spurs who are optimistic about the Heat, because judging from the games between the Heat and the Pacers in previous seasons, the Heat always win the game by chance, and this kind of performance is unconvincing no matter what.

Especially the local media in Indianapolis, the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat, they even have further ideas, Paul George and Roy Hibbert have become their confidence, after all, every time they play the Heat, Roy Hibbert will always have a bright performance, and Paul George is their star of the game, so he is also entrusted with important tasks.
