In the game in late March, the Grizzlies won and lost.

The main reason is that the Grizzlies are too far ahead of the Lakers in second place, and it is almost impossible to be overtaken by the Lakers, and in this state, Qiao Hai does not care so much about the rest of the regular season.

With the regular season championship already locked, Qiao Hai's eyes are about to be set on the next stage.

What's next?

The next stage is naturally the playoffs, and as soon as the games in late March are over, there are only a dozen games left in the regular season in early to mid-April, and after these ten games, it will be the playoffs.

So, the playoffs are just around the corner.

In late March, after playing the Pistons, the Grizzlies played four more games, including a fourth-time game against the Lakers.

The ending of that game is self-evident, the Grizzlies were dragged to the fourth quarter by the Lakers, but in the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, the Lakers were limited to slashing shark tactics, Kobe Bryant couldn't beat Maddy one-on-one, and three minutes before the end, Maddy scored 9 points in a row to help the Grizzlies kill the Lakers four times this season.

In that game, Maddie slashed 38 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 steals, and O'Neal, who scored 34 points, 19 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 blocks in the game.

This means that Maddie has evolved from an unpopular small bench at the beginning of the season to the best players in the league at the end of the season, and even has a chance to win the regular season MVP trophy.

This is a very heavy award, fans with good things like to rank the stars, among which the championship, the finals FMVP is the most important weight, followed by the regular season MVP, if Maddie wins this MVP trophy, at least, he can also rank at the top of the NBA's history.

Maddie is unlikely to win the MVP trophy, as he is more likely to win the trophy as the most improved player.

But the Grizzlies have the league's No. 1 record, and Maddy's average per game is also 28.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Now, Maddie has an advantage over O'Neal, and his advantage is the Grizzlies' record, but this advantage is not by much.

The Grizzlies lost two of the remaining four games in late March, the Warriors lost to the Jazz and the Lakers lost to the Knicks, bringing the Grizzlies' loss this season to 14.

The Lakers have only lost 16 games at this time, and the gap is not large, so this advantage is almost negligible.

Then there is the comparison at the data level, O'Neal is currently averaging 29.7 points per game, the league's leading scorer, and has 13.6 rebounds, second only to Deacon Berg Mutombo, with 3.0 blocks, second only to Mourning and Mutombo.

Therefore, at the data level, O'Neill's advantage is huge.

All things considered, it is very likely that the MVP is still O'Neal's.

Maddie only overtook O'Neal once after four kills to the Lakers, and if it weren't for the Grizzlies winning, O'Neal would have been at the top of the list.

……

In late March, Qiao Hai's house was also found.

Keffey's real estate agency called, found an apartment that met Qiao Hai's requirements, located near Zhongshan Park in Chinatown, and made an appointment to meet, Qiao Hai called Maddie.

Maddie is now a rich man, with a lot of endorsement signings and a lot of sports cars.

I heard that Qiao Hai was going to borrow a car, so he sent a Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet's entry-level sports car.

Qiao Hai drove this Corvette to Chinatown and met with the agent.

A white Canadian girl with a freckled face, it seems that she has just joined the work for a long time, whether it is introduction or sales, she is very immature, Qiao Hai can only choose to see it by herself, anyway, he will buy it when he is satisfied, and it is useless for others to say that it is fanciful.

First of all, it is a towering building, the apartment is in this building, the 8th floor, Qiao Hai did not rush upstairs, and now the downstairs is shaking around.

The building is in a good location, with Zhongshan Park on the left, as well as a sports park with a baseball field and a tennis court, Qiao Hai can go to Zhongshan Park or sports park to relax in his spare time.

In front of the apartment is a Chinese shopping mall, which has a Chinese police center, which means that the security in the neighborhood will not be bad.

There is also a seafood restaurant, a Celestial Empire fast food, a Chinese restaurant and a restaurant in the mall, as well as a Chinese supermarket, as well as a small rooftop parking lot where the apartment comes with a parking space.

There is also a restaurant street on the right side of the apartment building, the first one is a Chinese takeaway, Qiao Hai can order takeout when he is busy, and deal with it, followed by a ramen restaurant and a dumpling restaurant, all of which are the taste of hometown.

There are also Hawaiian restaurants, Sichuan restaurants, Huaiyang restaurants, etc.

In addition, there are miscellaneous Asian grocery stores, farmers' markets, Chinese hospitals and so on, and the supporting facilities nearby are still very complete.

In the end, Qiao Hai took the elevator to see the room on the spot.

This apartment building was built in 1998, completed in 1999, and only one year after opening, so the internal facilities are very new, the style is also modern, the ground is very clean, and the card needs to be swiped to enter the door, indicating that the management of the property is very good, and it looks like a somewhat high-end apartment community.

Take the elevator to the 8th floor, the intermediary opens the door, a duplex apartment, two floors, the first floor is the living room and dining room, the second floor has three rooms, plus a home theater, the decoration style is European, the furniture is complete, you can carry the bag into the owner.

After Qiao Hai finished reading, he was very satisfied with everything about this apartment.

Finally, Qiao Hai inquired about the situation of the previous homeowner.

The former homeowner is a movie star, what is Rachel McAdams, who has been developing in Vancouver, which is known as the Hollywood of the North, but during this time, it seems that his career has progressed rapidly and has turned to real Hollywood, so this Rachel McAdams is also ready to move to Los Angeles to live.

There are two reasons for selling this apartment, one is that this Rachel McAdams has no money, she needs to sell this apartment to buy a house in Los Angeles, and the other is that after going to Hollywood, she doesn't come to Vancouver often, and there is no need to spend a lot of property fees every year to maintain this apartment.

So, this Rachel McAdams is going to sell the house.

Qiao Hai doesn't know much about Hollywood stars, but he thinks the name Rachel is familiar, so there should be no problem with the homeowner, and the reason for selling the house is also very reasonable.

So, buying a house entered the last link, negotiating the price.

The agent made a phone call and came a middle-aged woman who claimed to be the homeowner's lawyer.

The middle-aged female lawyer said: The homeowner offered $180,000.

Qiao Hai bargained ruthlessly, and returned it to $160,000, knowing that there was no way to kill, and then it was decided.

The middle-aged female lawyer made a phone call to ask for instructions, and the homeowner agreed, so Qiao Hai signed a house purchase contract with the middle-aged female lawyer, and the middle-aged female lawyer handled all the formalities on her behalf.
