The Rockets swept their opponents so early that their second-round opponents were yet to decide the winner.

As the winner of the first and eighth place in the West, they will face the winner of the fourth and fifth place in the West, that is, the winner of the Spurs and Kings.

At present, the Spurs have a 3-1 lead over the Kings.

The problem with the Kings is obvious, and while their offense is flashy and their stats are excellent, once they get to the playoffs, their offense looks a little shaky.

Coupled with poor defense, this Kings team is clearly no match for the Spurs.

Therefore, the Rockets have also prepared early and have begun to study this Spurs.

……

In the regular season, the Rockets' record against the Spurs was 2-2, which can be said to be a mutual victory, but in fact, after the Rockets' offense and defense were on the right track, the Spurs lost to the Rockets in two games without suspense.

Therefore, in terms of psychology, the rocket still has a certain advantage.

For this Spurs, the research of the Rockets is also very thorough, and Tang Yi started with the rotation lineup of the Spurs.

"The Spurs' starters are generally point guard Tony Parker, Bruce Bowen Gartay Shawn Prince on the wings, and Tim Duncan Galasiun Nestrovic on the inside."

"On the bench side, there is also a Manuginobili who scores more points than the main one, plus Mari Cross, Robert Horry and Anthony Carter."

"The Spurs' rotation is not too much of a problem except for the lack of a pure center......"

And Brad Stevens started with the Spurs' tactics.

"Tactically, the Spurs' offense and defense are fairly balanced, and their defense is a bit like the strong-side multi-man pressing defense that Joe used with the Grizzlies, but the difference is that Greg Popovich gave Tim Duncan more mobility, which made Tim Duncan's ability to help defend reflected."

"The data shows that the Spurs in the regular season, their defense should be the first in the league, tied with the Detroit Pistons."

"On the offensive end, they're always going to play some Tony Parker or Manuginobili and Tim Duncan's mid-range pick-and-rolls, and it's very effective, because these three are a big threat near mid-range, and generally speaking, you can't defend alone, and if you flank them, you're bound to miss the other."

"But maybe it's because the pace is too slow, and the Spurs' offensive stats aren't impressive."

Qiao Hai knocked on the table: "Their offensive statistics are not eye-catching, but this does not mean that their offense can be ignored, I know Greg Popovich very well, he is a good person, if you really ignore their offense, then, he really has to give you a sudden come." ”

"For example, suddenly change to one big and four small, and suddenly speed up, so that you can't be caught off guard."

Brad Stevens nodded, he didn't talk much.

Elvin Gentryrie, who used to play for the Spurs and served as Larry Brown's assistant coach with Popovich, also kept nodding his head and gave an opinion: "I think in the first game, we can play the Spurs with our usual tactics." ”

"We played the Spurs twice in the second half of the season and we didn't play badly, so I don't think we need to make any changes."

Qiao Hai nodded, he also thinks so, this season's Rockets have played so far, and a 22-game winning streak shows the Rocket's insolvability to a certain extent.

And why is there no solution to the rocket?

The reason is that Yao Ming's mid-range threat is too great, and no team can solve this threat, in the mid-range position, Yao Ming can shoot, can play alone, and even play passes, which can be said to be omnipotent.

The opponent's single defense can only prevent it a little, if you want to really prevent Yao Ming from death, then you must be on the pinch.

But once the pinch is flanked, Yao Ming's height advantage combined with the position he is in, his passing will be more penetrating.

Coupled with the fact that the Rockets have three top-tier outside attackers, the Rockets' offense is already unstoppable after it is fully formed.

Therefore, Qiao Hai decided to use his usual tactics to collide with the Spurs, and even, if the Spurs were really difficult to deal with, he could even play a head-to-head battle with the Spurs to see whose offense was more ferocious.

……

While the other playoffs in the East and West were still going on, the Rockets were preparing for the second round of the playoffs, and Qiao Hai was busy and met with Qiao Zhishui and Rolf Pagano in Houston.

"In four months, the number of registered users of Facebook has exceeded 10 million, according to the big data we obtained from Google, there are currently more than 100 million Internet users in North America, and we still have a lot of potential, so my suggestion is to continue to develop here in North America, and when the number of registered users exceeds 50 million, we will develop into Europe and Asia."

This was Rolf Pagano's suggestion, but Qiao Hai shook his head, he felt that the expansion should be as fast as possible, but he didn't ask it directly, he just asked a question.

"I heard that Mark Zuckerberg left his job?"

Rolf Pagano immediately nodded: "That's right, he resigned, saying that he had a heavy academic load and wanted to go back to school to continue his studies." ”

Qiao Hai sneered a few times: "I have a friend who told me that he dropped out of Harvard and went to the UK, and then found this friend of mine and asked for an investment of about 10 million dollars. ”

"What do you mean?" Rolf Pagano's face immediately changed.

Qiao Zhishui also immediately sneered: "Needless to say, he is going to Europe to establish his own Facebook." ”

Regarding the current value of Facebook, Qiao Zhishui is very clear that the estimation of Facebook's market value by a well-known financial magazine in the United States has reached the level of 10 billion US dollars.

Think about it carefully, Europe has a market no less than North America, and Mark Zuckerberg's move means that he wants to snatch tens of billions of dollars from Qiao Hai and Qiao Zhishui from Europe!

Qiao Hai thought for a moment, and then said, "We need to make an expansion, not only to expand, but also as soon as possible. ”

"Facebook in North America is already making a profit, and now, in addition to using our profits for the day-to-day operation of the company, the rest is invested in the development of the European version, and in terms of promotion, we continue to ask Google for help."

As long as Google is behind him, Qiao Hai's Facebook has a natural advantage, and Mark Zuckerberg jumped out and wanted to build another Facebook, which is no better than Qiao Hai's Facebook in any case.

Rolf Pagano nodded, and then he began to report on Facebook's current profitability.

Facebook's current profitability is concentrated in two aspects, on the one hand, some advertising companies have taken a fancy to the huge traffic behind Facebook and have begun to advertise on Facebook.

On the other hand, Facebook has launched a membership function, which fixes how much money is fixed every month, and can open a membership, compared with ordinary users, member users can have more friends, and a larger personal space, etc.

Although Facebook has only been open for four months, its profit is already very huge, from March to April, in two months, Facebook has made a profit of nearly 10 million US dollars, and the main income comes from advertising.
