The day after the win over the Cavaliers, the Rockets had another back-to-back game, this time against the underdogs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although Maddie only played for a minute before going off the field due to injury, the management was shocked into a cold sweat. But the Rockets relied on Billups' 19+6+11 stable play of 15 points to calmly defeat the opponent.

On March 27, they traveled to the Holy City to once again take on the Big Brother Spurs of the Southwest Side. The frightened management decided to let Maddie, who had already arrived with the team, hang up the exemption card after negotiation. Yuanfei thinks so, anyway, the Spurs lead the Rockets 51-18 46-23 by as many as 5 games, and even if they win, it will only narrow the gap to 4 games. You must know that there are only 12 games left in this regular season after this battle, and even if the Rockets end up with a complete victory, they may not be able to catch up with the Spurs, so it is better to collect their efforts in time to let Maddie adjust.

The Rockets without Maddy were no match for the Spurs, who were tied in the first three quarters before collapsing in the fourth quarter and losing the game by 13 points. The loss was all but doomed to the Rockets the possibility of losing the Southwest Leader, who finished fourth in the West at most in the playoffs.

In the battle of Salt Lake City the next day, Yuanfei once again asked to rest the main force, but this time he was resolutely opposed by Dawson.

"Jason, I don't know what you think, as soon as you hit the Jazz, you have to take a break. If this continues, other bosses will suspect that our two teams have a shady private collusion, and the league has a good opinion about our rockets' rotation. ”

"We're away from home back-to-back, isn't it justified that the main team is resting?" Yuanfei's memory has only recovered a little, and it seems that it is reasonable to take turns off, which has only slowly become popular after 2011. In 2005, it was still an era when the main player should have played a full 82 games.

"Of course not. Who are the fans coming to see? Look at the stars! Dawson argued.

"Okay, okay. How about we just take turns to rest Yao Mai? Yuanfei asked tentatively.

"Yao Mai can't do it either!" The bottom line for old Dawson is clear.

In this way, the Rockets only took turns to rest Yao Ming in the Jazz game. Yuanfei was still looking forward to giving the Jazz another victory, but Maddie, who had rested for a few days, was full of power, scoring 44 points in 21 shots. The Jazz could only be restrained in the face of Maddy's inexplicable offense, and his old teammate Oku bullied the Rockets' weak bench interior line, scoring a team-high 25 points. The Rockets beat their opponents 99-85 on the road.

On March 30, Portland's Rose Garden Arena was another battle of the East Asian giants. Ha Seung Jin played 20 minutes, scored 0 points on 0-of-6 shooting, and was fouled for 6 fouls after 4 rebounds. Yao Ming played 30 minutes and easily scored 29 points, and Wang Zhizhi also scored 15 points. The Great Wall of China once again taught the big hippo a lesson, and the "Korean Yao Ming" Ha Seung Jin has once again become a laughing stock, and this time even the arrogant Korean media dare not compare him with Yao Ming anymore.

Next, the Rockets beat the Hornets at home, but after losing to the Suns, they were unexpectedly upset by the Warriors. Despite Maddy's 44+5+7 churn, Warriors guard Byron Brown. Davis's big explosion cut 40+5+13+5 perverted data. After two straight losses, the Rockets' record became 49-26 and still ranked behind the Mavericks at 50-24. With little left in the regular season, the Rockets and Mavericks are far ahead of the Nuggets with 42 wins and the Kings with 46 wins, basically locking up the fourth and fifth places in the West. In this case, the Rockets will have to go all out to win and overtake the Mavericks to get home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

The opponent sent to the Rockets at this time is the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers have been in poor form lately, suffering repeated defeats, with a record of only 35 wins and 39 losses, ranking 10th in the West. The Rockets are determined to win against such an opponent.

And 2 days before the game, Yuanfei received an unexpected invitation. He thought about it for a moment and readily agreed to go to the banquet.

While the players were still drowsy on the flight to Angel City, Yuanfei had already taken the lead in Los Angeles, bringing only one bodyguard with him. Soon they found the person who had come to pick them up.

"Good fellow, Ferrari Enzo. The starting price of this car is about 700,000 dollars, right? Yuanfei secretly envied, the other party's main owner had not yet arrived, and the car received by him alone was enough to dazzle the eyes. Wang Changming's domestic industry has become bigger and bigger in recent years, but he is still far from ranking among the 30 bosses of the alliance. If it weren't for the NBA Council's consideration of the factor of opening up overseas markets, the proposal that Wang Changming became the major shareholder of the Rockets last year might not have been approved by them.

(Short story: David. Stern is very supportive of the inclusion of Chinese owners in the NBA league. In an interview in 2006, he said that one day in the future, there would be Chinese among the NBA team owners. Unfortunately, this dream has not yet been realized. ）

How local is the boss of the NBA? Even at the level of flying far away is unimaginable. The recognized richest man in the circle is the owner of the Trailblazers, Paul. Aaron, one of the founders of Microsoft, is on the Forbes list every year and is at the top of the list. He has not only the Trail Blazers, but also the NFL's Seattle Seahawks (who won the Super Bowl in 2014), and his total personal assets are close to 10 billion. It is said that he has lost almost $200 million in his investment in the Trail Blazers in the past five years.

Not to mention the local tyrant Allen, even if it is the new owner Dan who has just bought the Cavaliers. Gilbert was also financially strong. Gilbert bought an 85 percent stake in the Cavaliers in March 2005 for $375 million, and experts put his total personal assets at around $800 million. The new owner immediately plans to invest $27 million in the renovation and upgrading of the Quickloan Arena, and plans to invest another $25 million in the construction of a training hall.

"I wonder if business is going well over there over there? I hope he makes a lot of money. Yuan Fei kept thinking nonsense, and the car had arrived at its destination. A staff member had already come up and opened the car door attentively, and flew out as soon as he leaned out, only then did he notice the location and was stunned.

"Hotel Belel? Isn't this one of the most luxurious hotels in Los Angeles? It is said that a one-night stay in the presidential suite costs 15,000 dollars. Yuan Fei was silent on the surface, but he secretly admired the other party's generosity in his heart. He was led by a waiter to the door of a suite, and several bodyguards searched him.

"Hey, that's not good hospitality." Yuanfei shouted towards the door.

The door opened, and Jason, dressed in a yukata. Buzz appeared in front of him: "Jason. King, my honored guest! It's an honor for you to be here. He laughed flatteringly and hypocritically, "Please bear with me in the simple security procedures." The two of us were going to talk about some confidential business topics, and naturally we didn't want to have any recording equipment. Of course, I don't have anything to do in this suite. ”

"Of course that's good." Yuan Fei smiled, but he didn't have any trust in him in his heart. This Bass did not give him the impression of being an honest and trustworthy man. (To be continued.) )
