After the serialization of "Yuyu Hakusho" began, the top management of the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group, which had merged with the three major publishers, finally felt the great pressure, and although the scale of the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group was much larger than that of Tianxiasha, the total sales of manga magazines between the two sides were not much different.

can look at Zhao Chen's actions in the past six months, first acquiring Akita Bookstore and Fangwen Society to expand its scale, and then unexpectedly making "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Norwegian Wood", and the director zhì Tianxia Society began to occupy a place in the fiction section; Then there is a comic "Dream Eater" in collaboration with other cartoonists, which completely launched the fame of Tianxia Society among comic fans; Also during this period, there were manga such as "Yu-Gi-Oh" and "Fullmetal Alchemist" that were bound to become classics. And now it's a good thing, how long has it been, and there is another "Youyou White Book" with great potential.

Originally, in the eyes of the three major societies, even if the three major societies could not be brought to extinction after the merger of the three major societies, it would be enough to completely suppress it. But I didn't expect that Tianxia Society would make so many moves in just over half a year, and the overall strength of Tianxia Society in such a short period of time was not much inferior to that of the Hitotsubashi Publishing Group, and it was still approaching at a terrifying speed.

As the top management of the three major publishers, none of them are stupid, and they know very well in their hearts that if the Tianxia Society is allowed to expand like this, Hitotsubashi Publishing Group will be surpassed sooner or later.

It was such a psychology that the high-level leaders began to discuss countermeasures.

Due to the merger of the three major publishers, the original high-level leaders of the three major publishers were also merged, and there were dozens of high-level executives of the direct director of the Ichibashi Publishing Group, and each of them more or less held a certain right to speak, and because there was no complete integration of the relationship, these high-level executives were clearly divided into three camps, that is, the high-level camps of the three major publishers before the merger. In this way, it is difficult to make progress in a short period of time when directly guiding zhì to discuss.

And Zhao Chen at this time. But he came to the United States. This time he was invited, and the person invited was the current NBA president David Stern, the reason why Zhao Chen was invited to the United States was because the NBA finals began, and the Western champion was all the Rockets owned by Zhao Chen.

David Stern's purpose in inviting Zhao Chen this time is very simple, that is, to use Zhao Chen's fame to increase the ratings of the finals. It's also indirect

The reputation of the NBA. Look, even the world's celebrities come to see the NBA, which is invisibly high-grade, not to mention that as a world-class celebrity, you must know that the number of fans behind Zhao Chen can be said to be quite terrifying, and there will be fewer people who will pay attention at that time, maybe this NBA Finals can rise to a few percentage points.

This is David Stern's psychology, in fact, this Jew really does everything to promote the NBA, and in history, he personally went to the mainland capital to wait. In order to allow the mainland to broadcast NBA games. With such an NBA president here, it's really impossible for the NBA not to develop.

The NBA Finals are generally held from June 5th to June 20th, of course, this is the entire sequence, and the game cycle is generally two days, so it can be said that playing the Finals is quite tiring.

If you want to make it to the Finals, you must enter the playoffs, and the NBA playoffs are only based on the total number of wins in the East and West regions, and the top eight in the East and West are ranked respectively. The eventual winner of the two divisions will then advance to the Grand Final, with the winning side taking the overall title.

Other than that. The Eastern and Western champions each have a divisional trophy, which can be regarded as a level of encouragement. The overall winner has a championship ring and a grand final trophy. This championship ring and trophy are considered by athletes and officials, and even basketball enthusiasts around the world to be the supreme honor and a kind of affirmation of ability, so they are generally very valued and cherished!

Similarly, championships are not available to every star, and even superstars have several. The saddest of these are undoubtedly Barkley, Gorilla Ewing, Karl Malone and Stockton. Of course, according to Zhao Chen's memories before his rebirth, Carmelo Anthony of the golden generation in 2003 may also be among them, and of course, it is also possible that for a championship ring, Andong will temporarily make a 'thigh' move like Barkley and Karl Malone, who knows.

If you look at it historically. The 1985 NBA championship should be the Los Angeles Lakers, but unfortunately the Lakers and Rockets are also located in the Western Division, and it is quite tragic to meet the Rockets who are full of superstars. Although several rookies still need to run in this year, after the regular season, the Rockets' lineup has also been initially run-in, and the tactics used can be described as quite simple, that is, in addition to a certain amount of cooperation, it is a superstar single.

Moses Malone singles, tired of changing Olajuwon, followed by Barkley, Jordan and Drexler, these are all good heads-up players, even Stockton will take the opportunity to release cold arrows, and what is even more rare is that every time there is a superstar billet to lead the bench to play the sixth or seventh man, and this is the confidence of the Rockets, tearing each other apart by personal ability.

The ones who can also become superstars have unique skills and defensive ability, Moses Malone's interior defense and offensive rebounding, Barkley's card position, Olajuwon's all-roundedness, Jordan's future Defensive Player of the Year, and Drexler's physical and explosive defense are not bad. In other words, except for Stockton, who is relatively thin, the defensive ability of the rest of the starters is top-notch, which directly leads to a decrease in the opponent's shooting percentage when playing against the Rockets.

Of course, the current Rockets have not fully exerted their full strength, in addition to the lineup has not been run in well, in addition, these superstar blanks still need to grow, and they will be the real peak when they are at their peak. However, even if Jordan and others have not yet entered their prime, the Rockets are not something that other teams can compete with.

At least in the race for the Western Conference championship, the Lakers were sunk 2-4 by the Rockets, and Magic Johnson and the aging Skyhook Abdul-Jabbar were powerless. It's not that he's too weak, but the opponent's personal strength is too strong, and the Lakers may not be much worse at the starter, but the gap between the substitutes is big.

After the sinking of the Lakers, the players of the Rockets can be said to have experienced a biochemical and become full of confidence, after all, they are still young players, although there is Moses Malone's warning, but they still make up for the scene when they won the first championship trophy of the Rockets.

So, when playing against the Celtics, the champions of the East. The Rockets lost two games in a row, and these two games can be regarded as completely waking up these superstar billets, and turned to play a good game seriously, so they won three of the next four games, and the score became 3-3, and Zhao Chen came here to watch the last battle of Tianwang Mountain. The match that decides the champion.

Even if basketball is a strong team, there are times when it loses, let alone the finals, and there is no weak team in the history of the finals that can break into the finals, which can be said to be a strong dialogue, which also leads to the NBA finals, when the ratings are often much higher than in the playoffs.

Before Zhao Chen's rebirth, the Celtics had won a total of 17 championships, and at that time they were the top NBA teams like the Lakers, that is, the team with the most championships. Similarly, the Celtics were one of the original 11 teams. The most glorious time of this team was from 1959 to 1966, when it created an unprecedented 8-game championship and the first dynasty in the team's history.

The team was also marked by the shamrock used by St. Patrick during his missionary work in Ireland, which later became the national flower of Ireland and the symbol of all Celts.

However, the clover is a typical symbol inherited by Christianity. It was a symbol of the three-level unity of the three priestly hierarchies of the Celts from early times. And the vigorous growth of the clover also makes it a symbol of vitality.

Among them, both the NBA's Celtics and the Scottish football powerhouse Celtics use the shamrock as a symbol. Other words. When you see a clover, you think of the Celts or the Irish. Similarly, a collection of sneakers from Adidas is also a sign of this.

In addition, the Boston Celtics have a long history and are one of the founding teams of the BAA, the predecessor of the NBA. The Celtics and New York Knicks are the only two NBA teams that played in the inaugural BAA League in 1946 and haven't moved to the city since.

Walter, the creator of the Celtics? Brown arguably laid the most important foundation for the team's success, because he hired Cardinal Auerbach as the team's head coach in 1950; And in the 1956 draft, the Celtics used the geographical draft pick to select Tom? Heinsohn and traded for Bill, the Lord of the Rings? Russell, completing the establishment of the Celtic dynasty. After winning eight consecutive championships, Auerbach chose to retire and put Russell, the core of the team, into the position of coach and player. Russell led the team to two more championships before retiring in 1969. The Celtics dynasty became the most powerful dynasty in NBA history with 11 championships in 13 years.

In addition to these, the Celtics selected Larry in the 1978 draft? Bird, and at that time, it was the era of Bird and Magic Johnson's black and white hegemony, which can be said to have stepped on the peak again.

In the 1984-1985 season, the Celtics won 63 of their 82 regular season games and lost 19 of them. The win rate is close to 77%. On the other side, the Rockets, due to the problem of team running-in, did not win as many games in the regular season as the Celtics, so the stoppage point of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain was taken away by the Celtics.

The Celtics are one of the two giants in the NBA, and the team lineup is naturally not bad. Among them, Auerbach picked "Big Bird" Larry in the 1978 discerning Tong Guò draft? Bird (as some fans jokingly call it the Big Chicken), the director of the Celtics has ushered in a new glory. So in recent years, the Celtics' lineup has been luxurious, in addition to "Big Bird" Bird, there is also "Chief" Robert? Parrish, Kevin? McHale, Dennis? Johnson, Danny? Angie, "Red-haired Giant Ape" Bill? All-Star players such as Wharton. And the reason why the NBA in the entire 80s was the era when the Celtics and the Lakers took turns to sit in the bank, and the confrontation between "Big Bird" Bird and "Magic" Johnson became the biggest attraction of the NBA at that time, in which the Celtics won three championships. It's a pity that these are all historical, because of Zhao Chen, once the Rockets lineup is run-in, it will be really difficult for the Celtics to continue to win the championship, at least in the last ten years.

But even so, Celtic is currently the most prestigious team, and there are quite a lot of supporters, especially in the cheers of tens of thousands of fans at home, and this frenzy is enough to affect most young players.

Although the Rockets are stronger than the Celtics in terms of lineup, the advantage of the devil's home court can be said to be offset a lot, and it can be said that it is really difficult to determine who will win and who will lose this game.

As for whether the Rockets can win the first championship, Zhao Chen doesn't care much. In his opinion, if you lose this year and get it back next year, anyway, with the young Cheng Dù of Jordan and others, the championship every year in the next ten years is likely to be won by the Rockets.

Of course, although he thinks so, Zhao Chen is not idiotic enough to say what he thinks, otherwise he will not be resented by the fans, after all, he is the owner of the team. This kind of demoralization cannot be said to be a blow to the party's morale.

For the Celtics, Zhao Chen is still quite interested, and there is still a little time before the game, so he looked at the arena, but his eyes were mainly focused on the jersey above his head.

Due to the great 8-game winning streak and 13-year 11-title dynasty and the team's long period of glory over the years, the Celtics have had a large number of historical superstars during these years, and these superstars will hang up their jerseys after retirement. Among them, the owners of these jerseys include Bill Russell, Cousy, Sam in the Celtics' 13-year 11-title dynasty? Jones and KC Jones and Havlicek and Cowens and others, all of whom are Hall of Famers.

A long and glorious history has allowed Celtic to have a large number of retired jerseys belonging to players. And the number of these jerseys is also the highest of any Major League in North American leagues. In addition, Cardinal Auerbach, team founder Walter Brown, and announcer Johnny Brown? Most also have their own retired jerseys. Even, the Celtics' No. 18 jersey was retired twice - Jim, the original owner of the No. 18 jersey? Loskotov received the glory of retiring the jersey after retiring, but he took the initiative to request that the retirement of the jersey be canceled so that future players could use it. The Celtics acceded to Loskotov's request and retired a jersey emblazoned with the word LOSCY in recognition of him. Later, Dave Cowens, an important contributor to the Celtics' revival, wore the No. 18 jersey, and after he retired, the No. 18 jersey was retired again under the name of Cowens.

And just when Zhao Chen silently counted the jerseys. The players on both sides of the field have been settled and the game has officially begun. So Zhao Chen's eyes fell on the game again.

This game can determine the ownership of the championship, and the fierce Cheng dù and the significance can be imagined, Zhao Chen is the owner of the Rockets after all, and naturally hopes that the team can win the first championship trophy.

Zhao Chen still knows some basketball in the end, and the situation after the start of the game was not too unexpected for him, with the home advantage. The Celtics had the upper hand. The Rockets, on the other hand, have not fully adapted to the boos of the opposing fans due to the fact that many players are too young, and if it weren't for Moses Malone's experience, it would really be possible to be pulled away by the Celtics, even so. The difference between the two sides also began to widen slowly, and the difference between the two sides was about to reach a double at the end of the first quarter.

The turning point was at this time, except for a few starters, the two sides changed the starters, but if you look at the lineup, the Rockets' lineup is significantly stronger after the substitution.

The Celtics Larry Bird stayed on the court to lead the bench players, while the Rockets sent Olajuwon, Simpson and Jordan three young players, and the interior twin towers of Olajuwon and Simpson can firmly suppress the opponent's interior and compete for rebounds, and Jordan played for a few minutes, but he didn't exert his strength before, because of his impact and youth, the coach of the Rockets continued to let him play to limit Larry Bird.

Jordan, who has just entered the NBA, can be described in one word, that is, alone, as long as he receives the ball, unless he is wrapped or his body is insufficient, he will almost not pass the ball, and the title of cancer can be said to be with Jordan for several years, and you can't expect him to correct it quickly.

But fortunately, it is on the Rockets, and the current Rockets have four NBA top interior players, all of whom are good at competing for rebounds, and almost all of them are top players who have won the title of rebounding king in history. Even if Jordan keeps playing iron, with them helping to wipe his ass, the score will not widen.

Although this is Jordan's first year in the NBA, even now he has superior strength, and the arrogance in his heart can be imagined. After playing against Larry Bird, he began to wreak havoc on the basket, and his main offensive means was the almost inexplicable step-back jumper.

And the Celtics' Larry Bird has been in the NBA for seven years, and he has passed the age when he will not be rash, but he still accounts for most of the shots, and there is no way that the Celtics' bench is too far behind the Rockets.

However, even if Larry Bird's shooting rate is not bad, the difference between the two sides is shrinking rapidly, which also makes Larry Bird helpless, after all, most of the rebounds were taken away by the other party, and McHale, the top interior on his side, is still resting.

So after the end of the first quarter, the difference between the two sides was almost wiped out, which also made the Celtics extremely helpless, no way, the Rockets have too many good players.

The next game is almost the same as the first quarter, but the difference is that the Rockets starters can play better after adapting to the home atmosphere, which not only completely erases the difference between the two sides, but the Rockets slowly take the advantage.

So as the game deepened, although the process was still quite intense, it was basically obvious that the Rockets had a clear advantage, and this advantage was in the end.

I didn't see the stunner I was hoping for, but it was quite a surprise to win the championship. (To be continued......)
