Huang Yu's idea made Bill Duffy stunned, it seems that he is not satisfied with Negro's coaching ability! But once a player is branded as a thorn, it will not only be easily affected in terms of prestige, but also greatly reduced in terms of commercial value!

However, Huang Yu doesn't have any endorsements now, and the only bigger endorsement contract is his own sneaker brand, which makes Bill Duffy feel very powerless!

The road to Huang Yu's restart of commercial endorsement is very difficult, not that Bill Duffy is a little bit of a commission, but a broker's self-esteem problem, following Huang Yu in the stock market has not made less money, but without a commercial contract, it will seem that this broker is very incompetent!

Although Bill Duffy has other players under him, but the ones who can be called big names are Huang Yu and Nash, Anthony has terminated his employment contract with him, after all, in the opinion of going to the Knicks, Bill Duffy once said to Anthony that he is not optimistic, which may disgust Anthony!

"Oh, by the way, the new contract you plan to sign now? Still waiting! ”

Although the Clippers are now Huang Yu's, they are not too involved in the operation, especially the salary, Huang Yu did not touch it, and it is completely to let the Clippers run on their own! The current Clippers are more transparent, the first annual salary is Paul, followed by millions of goods, Huang Yu and Griffinga together are less than 10 million, so the Clippers have a lot of salary space, and they can give Huang Yu a contract that surpasses Rose.

However, the management of the Clippers did not give such a big contract, but tentatively gave a 5-year contract of 85 million, which still activated the new labor clause, of course Huang Yu will not sign!

"There's going to be a big change in the management of the Clippers this summer, and the contract issues are waiting!"

Huang Yu naturally can't say that he wants to get a super big contract and overshadow Rose! Although a large contract can easily squeeze the Clippers' salary space, leading to problems with recruiting next season, but what is it afraid of? It's called the luxury tax, and it can't be lower than Ross anyway!

----------

Just when Huang Yu would rather pay the luxury tax than open a big contract, the outside world has already hyped up the Clippers general, and Paul also invited Huang Yu to his home as a guest! Huang Yu didn't bring a very expensive gift, just a bottle of 82-year-old Lafite, of course, Huang Yu bought the real 82-year-old, otherwise it was drunk in Huaxia over the years, it is estimated that all the wineries in Bordeaux, France in 82 years, the annual red wine production is not enough, let alone the brand of Lafite!

Paul did not give Huang Yu a ban on Negro as an entry point, but drew a big pie for Huang Yu, such as how Griffin grows up, and how much he values you in a fast birth, his second contract is not as big as Huang Yu.

Although Paul was pushed out as a link to alleviate Huang Yu and Negro, he has nothing to say, he has only been to the Clippers for half a season, and the locker room has not yet been able to control it! Can he communicate with Huang Yu in a high-spirited tone, obviously a fool would do that, he was offending people!

Of course, if it were those who were the eldest and his second, maybe they would do this, just like Ricky Davis, who couldn't see the reality clearly, and thought that the pride of the sky entered the alliance to help you? Although many famous stars have been bullied, there are always exceptions!

----------

The East lost to the 76ers without Rose in the Bulls, which also made the outside world think that the Bulls would not be able to play without Rose now, but what can the Bulls do if they were injured in the first game, they are also helpless!

In the absence of Rose, the Bulls' CJ Watson started today, scoring more than 20 points against the 76ers twice in the regular season, while Lucas Jr. also performed well in place of Rose, becoming the leading scorer on the bench today.

After all, the Bulls are missing the most important player, and they were stubbornly resisted by the 76ers after the opening, and the 76ers are not stupid, although the Bulls are still strong without Rose, but now is the opportunity, so the team's momentum was lifted up at once, but although the defense has been strengthened a lot, but in the face of Boozer and Noah's onslaught under the basket, the 76ers are still a little difficult to parry, but fortunately, the 76ers' offensive firepower is also very strong, so the two sides played inextricably after the opening.

With four minutes left in the quarter, the 76ers took an 18-16 lead, and eight seconds later, Lore Deng hit a three-pointer and the Bulls took the lead again, and the two teams alternated leads several times, and after Watson hit a three-pointer, the Bulls ended the quarter 28-25.

After three minutes in the second quarter, the Bulls failed to score, and the 76ers froze the Bulls' scoring with their own defense, and with their own offense to ensure quality, the score gradually exceeded and led 35-32 with 6:34 left in the quarter.

However, the efficient defense did not last, and after Lucas hit a three-pointer to tie the score, Noah then scored a series of baskets to give the Bulls a 15-4 run to take a 47-39 advantage. Lucas and Noah scored the Bulls' final 12 points of the quarter as they held a 55-47 lead in the first half.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the 76ers strengthened their offense, although the Bulls were mentally prepared but were still caught off guard, fortunately, the Bulls had veterans in charge, stabilized the offensive rhythm, and when there were 9 minutes and 12 seconds, the mask man Hamilton hit a shot, and the Bulls also led 61-56, but they failed to shoot a shot in the next 4 minutes, Turner scored in a row, and the 76ers played a 12-0 attack wave to overtake 68-61 in one fell swoop.

The Bulls' defense was broken, and to make matters worse, their offense was completely out of touch. In the final 3:12 of the quarter, the Bulls failed to score in the athletic battle, and the 76ers ended the quarter 13-1 and led 83-69 after three quarters. The 76ers scored 36 points in this quarter, while the Bulls scored only 14 points, and the Bulls collapsed directly in the third quarter, which is similar to the pattern of the Lakers.

The 76ers didn't think they were sure to win now, so they stepped up their defense at the start of the fourth quarter, allowing the Bulls to score just one point from the free throw line after nearly four minutes of play, and the 76ers had a 21-point advantage at 91-70.

Soon Williams scored a three-pointer, and the 76ers led by 24 points at 102-78. No, I don't want to lose so embarrassed, after all, it's the first in the East! Noah hit three consecutive shots and Korver also hit a three-pointer, but it was too late.

With the 76ers releasing water to replace the main force, the Bulls lost to the 76ers 92-109 at home, and the big score was pulled to 1-1, which can be seen how many points the Bulls chased in garbage time.

The 76ers' Ju Holiday became the hero of the win, scoring 26 points and 6 assists, while the leader Iguodala only got 11 points and 5 rebounds, which also made the 76ers management determined to trade Iguodala next season and start the rebuild with Holiday ! Louis Williams, who came off the bench, had 20 points and six assists.

Bulls Noah had 21 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, CJ Watson 12 points, Mask Man Hamilton 10 points and 5 assists, as for Boozer, who had a good performance in the first half, he was invisible in the second half and only got 9 points and 5 rebounds in the whole game!

----------

The Bulls were pulled back by the 76ers due to their absence, while the Celtics were also missing a big man, but won because Rondo was suspended.

In the last game, because of the last possible penalty, Rondo yelled at the referee and hit the referee with his chest, this irrational behavior directly made him only watch his teammates fight hard off the field, in fact, he also heard it, since the emergence of zero tolerance, the league is unlucky to suffer from such a penalty is the players, even if Rondo is more intelligent among the players, but he can't escape this strange circle.

The power of the referee is increasing day by day, which makes the players miserable, and even muttering two more sentences will be whistled for a technical foul! Even the president used "have to" in an interview to say that he was not completely on the side of the referee, if the referee did not have any problems with the penalty at that time, then how could the initiator of zero tolerance use such wording.

But in the eyes of the president, Rondo is indeed looking for his own death, and he actually has physical contact with the referee! If you wave your arms and curse, you won't be given an additional ban.

The Celtics, who were already missing their goalscorer Ray Allen, have now lost their backcourt engines, and they are playing very hard against the menacing Eagles.

Pierce picked up the offensive load, scoring nine straight points in the opening game to give the Celtics a 9-4 run. Halfway through the first quarter, the Celtics still had a slight advantage, but Johnson and Hinrich hit two consecutive three-pointers to put the Hawks up 17-15.

The Celtics failed to shoot a three-pointer in the last game, and there was no way to do it from the outside today, missing all five shots in the first quarter. Both teams ended the quarter 24-24.

In the second quarter, the Celtics still didn't have three points, and they missed all seven three-point shots until the end of the first half.

The Hawks also fell into confusion at the beginning of the second quarter, playing four minutes before hitting a shot, during which time only Maddy scored 3-pointers on free throws to give the Celtics a 30-27 lead.

However, the Hawks regained their sense midway through the quarter, Teague hit a three-pointer, and then he made a steal to launch a fast break, and Smith received the ball and scored a dunk, and the Hawks went on a 9-0 run to go 38-24. The two sides were still locked in the quarter, with both teams scoreless in the final minute and the Hawks leading 44-41.

With 6:35 left in the third quarter, the Celtics finally hit a three-pointer from Dürin, the first three-point shot of the series by the Celtics, but it was completely useless, and the Celtics still trailed 49-55.

Teague was more comfortable with the experienced Rondo and hit a running shot with 4:07 left in the quarter, followed by a breakaway foul and two free throws to score four straight points to give the Hawks a double-digit lead at 62-51.

Although Durin hit another three-pointer, Johnson immediately returned the favor with a long-range shot. The Hawks failed to shoot in the final three minutes of the quarter, and the Celtics went on a 6-1 spurt to trail only 61-66 in the first three quarters.

With two starters missing, two veterans, Pierce and Garnett, have to work harder.

The pair took turns in the fourth quarter, and midway through the quarter, Pierce hit a jumper after a breakaway to put the Celtics up 72-70 for their first half-time lead. After the Hawks trailed the score to 72-72, Garnett assisted and Daniels dunked. The Hawks missed back-to-back shots, Pierce hit twice and hit a three-pointer with 3:30 left in the game to give the Celtics a 79-72 advantage.

Johnson scored three straight free throws to make it 6-2 and the Hawks trailed the score at 78-81. Garnett and Pierce each hit two free throws, while Johnson missed back-to-back shots as the Celtics scored six straight points on free throws to extend their advantage at 87-78 with 41.4 seconds left in the game.

Pierce had 36 points and 14 rebounds, Garnett had 15 points, 12 rebounds and five assists, and Ray Allen continued to be sidelined. Bradley scored 14 points.

The Eagles lost home-court advantage. Joe Johnson had 22 points and five assists, Teague had 18 points and five rebounds, Josh Smith had 16 points, 12 rebounds and five assists, and Hinrich had eight points.

----------

It wasn't just the Celtics vs. Hawks and the 76ers vs. Bulls that were tied 1-1 in the big score, but the Pacers and Magic were also tied 1-1.

After the Magic without Warcraft in the first game, the second game was still tenacious, but it couldn't stop the Pacers, and Pacers coach Frank warned the players not to listen to any expert comments. They were unanimously expected to easily beat the Magic without Howard, but they lost their first game on their home turf, and if they lose again, going 0-2 to Orlando, it will be a difficult situation to manage.

Although the head coach has been in office for a short time, but he has a lot of experience, he knows that those so-called transfers are dog shi, it is better to listen to them than to go out and throw a coin to see the front and back, anyway, what words to those experts are in his mouth, this kind of person has outstanding ability to do homework, they know the experience of being an expert, do not say enough, do not bring personal emotions into it, always let what they say can be divided into two meanings to understand, their mouth can be used as a matchmaker in ancient times!

The Pacers had to defend their home court, so they started the game aggressively, starting with a 6-0 run and taking an 18-7 double-digit advantage halfway through the first quarter.

But the Magic's three-pointer was still guaranteed, with Turkoglu hitting a three-pointer and Anderson scoring a three-pointer at the end of the quarter, and the Magic scored four straight points in the final minute of the quarter to tie the score at 21-24.

Big baby Davis started off the bench and performed well, making it difficult for the Pacers to hit the Magic hinterland, and at the end of the second quarter, he scored six consecutive points to help the Magic overtake the Pacers to take the lead.

The Magic, who had played well, suddenly collapsed in the third quarter, and the outside three-point firepower was dumb, only Turkoglu hit a three-pointer at the beginning of the third quarter, which was also the only three-pointer that the Magic hit in this quarter, and did not score for nearly 4 and a half minutes, the Pacers seized the opportunity to play a wave of 14-0 offense and successfully opened the difference, and when the third quarter ended the Pacers led 72-57.

Although the Pacers had a maximum lead of 17 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Magic did not give up, but gritted their teeth and waited for the opportunity, and the Pacers were also interesting enough, and the three-minute shot missed, and the Magic narrowed the gap to 11 points, but the Pacers immediately adjusted their tactics, reduced their shots from the periphery, and hit the Magic inside! Hill took the lead in attacking the Magic's inside, making two free throws after a foul, and West hit a layup in the next round to put the Pacers up 87-72 again.

Although the Magic have been chasing hard, they have not been able to close the gap to single digits, so they have to accept defeat, but it is not worth the trip to return to Orlando with home-court advantage.
