Chapter 383: You just bet I can't win
"When people get old, the only good thing is that they have less to lose."
The day before the game, Zhang Qi started a war of words against the bull as usual.
But what made him a little embarrassed was that this time the media had no interest in his trash talk, and what everyone wanted to know more was the anecdote of the founding of the two fathers and sons, which was too sassy.
Of course, Zhang Zhu knew about this matter, because this was what he instigated at all, and even "Tamriel" was not the final name of the country, and "Demacia" was also an alternative in the debate between the two fathers and sons.
He has been forced to do this operation is also helpless, he has never been able to think of a way to break away from Australian citizenship without being criticized by the outside world, even if he joins a small country with a population of only tens of thousands of people, there will still be many people who attack him with this, and quite a few fans will call him a traitor, and those black fans are estimated to climax all the way to death.
But what if you build your own country?
This bold idea, at first, even Zhang Qi felt that the brain hole was too big.
But after thinking about it, this will minimize people's resistance, and most young people will think it's cool, especially the colonial history of Europe and the United States will make his behavior more acceptable to people, and the banner of democracy and freedom is the biggest protective fan he does this, and it is difficult for those black fans to attack him with his separation from nationality, and it is estimated that there are still a considerable number of cases of turning fans.
Zhang Wei even wanted to hook up with some NBA players to take the lead in becoming Tamriel's nationals after the founding of the country, such as Kidd, Big Ben, O'Neal Jr., and even Kobe Bryant, and then form a Tamriel Royal basketball team to participate in the Olympics, that scene was simply picturesque.
Of course, there is another thing, the two fathers and sons are completely in agreement, that is, don't expect them to pay for the construction of this no-man's land that neither Egypt nor Sudan wants, and it is impossible for them to do it at a loss.
Of course, 6 billion fans have to pay for this kind of thing, so isn't there a lot of people who want to become the honorary citizens of "Tamriel"?
Then they naturally have to contribute money and efforts, especially those local tyrants who want to get knighthoods and even want to be officials.
The two fathers and sons are already secretly planning, and when the United Nations officially recognizes it, should they launch a "Xinyue Plan" first, and make a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 level contribution or something, otherwise it will be inconvenient to make money!
In view of this, Zhang Mao first revealed a message in this interview, that is, after the establishment of the Kingdom of Tamriel, the "Tamriel Royal Agricultural Research and Development Center" will be built first, the first task of the department is to study how to grow crops in a water-scarce environment through global fundraising, for which they have contacted the relevant departments in China, and the two sides will work together to carry out research projects such as "desert rice" and "desert corn", and the plan will be named the "Jinkela" project.
But don't really complain that Zhang's father and son are fooling fools, China began to develop the cultivation of desert rice and corn as early as the eighties, but the soul of this project is not Yuan Longping, but the Mongolian Bilige, and even a few years ago there were relatively mature results, corn can really be planted in the desert environment, but the cost is a little higher, but for Tamriel, who is destined to become a tyrant country, everything that can be solved with money is not a thing.
However, of course, this "money" will not be paid by the two fathers and sons, and all the plans have to be paid for by the citizens who want to join Tamriel, including the royal palace to be built in the future, various royal research and development centers, the royal airport, the royal subway, the royal basketball, the football team and other infrastructure and non-core departments, all of which have to be raised by the people of Tamriel, and the two fathers and sons will not invest a dime in it, there is no doubt about this.
Zhang Mo will agree with his nonsense, but also think that there may be business opportunities here, the two fathers and sons want to build Tamriel into a tourist resort, a holy place for scientific research, a holy land for IT, and a holy place for games, and the ultimate goal is to become Dubai in Africa. Then, if possible, it is not impossible to find a way to use the United States, the world's-stirring stick, to bag the other Haraib triangle that Egypt and Sudan are fighting for, so that Tamriel is not just a no-man's land with no access to the sea.
Of course, even Zhang Mo just thinks about this idea casually, if he really wants to do something, it is definitely not something that can be done in ten or twenty years, Tamriel must at least attract a lot of investment from all over the world, especially from the world to attract a large number of rich people to immigrate, so that the country's population will reach the million level.
But even this is not enough, they must be supported by the United States like Israel, be able to buy all kinds of weapons for their own use from the United States, which even Europe cannot buy, and finally even build a nuclear bomb like Israel.
Of course, these are a bit too brainy, and this is by no means something that can be done in ten or twenty years, and Zhang Mo will never see this day in his life.
However, at least from now on, everyone has started calling Zhang Zhu a prince, because he is really the prince of Tamriel and will be the king of Tamriel in the future.
What, you are still asking whether the United Nations will recognize the founding of Tamriel?
Even though the White House is urgently meeting to discuss this, everyone knows what the final result will be, because even Egypt and Sudan, the only countries bordering this new country, have admitted it, and who is qualified to say "no"?
The White House is just discussing the political element of this, because in the eyes of the official, it's not just something that ordinary people think is cool and interesting, there are a lot of deeper political elements here.
But no matter how the White House discusses it, nothing will go wrong with this matter, because public opinion is so turbulent that there are really a large number of people waiting to join Tamriel, including many local tyrants and rich second generations with a lot of wealth.
In addition to revealing some information about the circle of money this time, Zhang Fu also revealed a piece of information that everyone is more concerned about, that is, Tamriel's national anthem has long been in production, and it may come out soon.
"Still have a national anthem?"
A group of melon-eating people were shocked again, and they even had the national anthem, it seems that they are really not hype, this is really trying to build a country!
Of course, now people won't know that the name of this "Tamriel" is the result of the acquisition of Bethesda by Dragonborn Games. A post-Softorks product, the father and son hope to make the kingdom more like a bridge between the virtual world and the real world, and even have a slogan to attract immigrants in the future - escape from reality and escape to the virtual world.
Perhaps in the future, all the games produced by the Dragonborn, the scenes in them, and even the cities in the game will appear in "Tamriel" - this will become the most desirable holy place for global technology companies and game companies, and the father and son will also give more preferential policies to such companies, so as to attract more technology companies to build their headquarters here.
Zhang Yi was interviewed for a total of half an hour on this appearance, but only after leaving did he find that the reporters did not ask him about tomorrow's game.
This simply shifts the classification of the book, which is not a historical overhead area, nor an urban rebirth area.
The Bulls players felt the same way, as if the upcoming Finals didn't exist, everyone was following a scam news and everyone was talking like crazy about Tamriel.
That didn't change until the day of the game, when someone finally started paying attention to the grand finale that was coming up in the evening.
Zhang has been paying attention to the game, he can feel that he and his teammates are in good shape, the Lakers have made the most of this break, and his cooperation with Big Ben has been called tacit, which makes Mutombo start to think about whether to return early?
Mutombo is starting to smell a threat in Big himself, the athletic short interior has an amazing defensive explosiveness, and Harris already feels that Big Ben outperforms Mason on the defensive end, especially when it comes to dealing with young interior players who are also athletic.
The biggest change in the NBA in the past two years is not only the rules, but also the improvement of player talent, a group of talented young players with excellent athleticism have made the pace of the game naturally faster, coupled with a series of rules that the league encourages offense, a large number of power players who are not fast and agile enough can no longer cope with the current rhythm of the game, and these people will inevitably gradually go down the stage of history.
Today's first finals are scheduled at 19:30 in Los Angeles, which is the most friendly time period for Asian fans, especially Chinese fans, because it is 11:30 p.m. in Beijing, even if it is not a weekend, this time period is also a lunch break, and a large number of office workers can use the lunch break to watch most of the game. If the owner, who is also a fan, is willing to let the staff leave work for half an hour early on the day of the game and another half hour at night, it will be enough for them to watch the whole game at noon.
Our koala prince naturally became the intersection of the media and fans at the pre-game press conference broadcast live around the world, and even at this time, there were still many reporters asking questions that were not related to the game, but at this time, Zhang Mao did not want to answer these questions that were not related to the game.
But it doesn't matter, it makes sense that the NBA only broadcasts the pre-game press conference for the Lakers, because Zhang Zhu never disappoints the fans who watched the live broadcast two hours in advance, and this time he used sassy words to cool the fans and disgust the opponent.
A reporter asked about Zhang Fu's bet with Jordan, the last time the bet between the two doubled Zhang Fu's net worth, will he bet with Jordan this time?
Zhang Yu teased Jordan with a smile, and said, "I think he can't win by betting on me, because he will lose every time he gambles." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the reporters in the audience laughed, and they didn't know if Gang Leader Qiao would be angry when he heard these words.
However, there were still too many reporters who wanted to ask him about the Kingdom of Tamriel, and Zhang Qian couldn't avoid it, so he could only say: "For me, being a prince is no different from being a player, we are all holding weapons in our hands to protect our territory and people." It's the same now, we have to protect the home court and the fans, and that power has now become that orange basketball, and I'm going to use it to beat my enemies. ”
Zhang Zhu's forced pretense made fans even more excited, he didn't know that the power of idols could be infinitely amplified, if there was another prince or king as a bonus, then it was unlikely that he would be maliciously violated from now on, let alone suffer from unfair punishment.
The Bulls have been worried about the referee's penalty scale, the current Zhang Fu is not only the prince of the big chaebol, he is also about to become the prince of a country, such a noble and prominent identity, he is not even a representative of the upper class, he is about to become the ruler of the upper class, do you think the NBA will deliberately favor him?
In fact, you don't need to ask this question to know, the answer is: definitely!
David Stern has long discovered that Zhang Mao's influence is no longer a mutually beneficial relationship with the NBA, and now the NBA must hug the thighs of the nervous Mao, hoping to use the influence of Prince Koala to take the opportunity to raise his own value, and the subordination between the two has already changed unconsciously.
Let's put it this way, if Zhang Wei suddenly thinks that basketball is not interesting anymore and runs to play baseball, football or something, then as long as he goes, where he will replace the NBA as the focus of the global 60E, his fans have long been not limited to basketball fans, and now a person who doesn't like basketball will also become his iron fan.
This pre-game press conference, the Bulls' side ended half an hour earlier than the Lakers, because there was no one here to interview at all, and even half of the Chicago reporters defected to the next door, and the Koala prince was too much of a showman.
But the tragedy is that the Bulls players can't get angry, even if Lang Li can't get angry in his heart after learning that Zhang Zhu changed his nationality to prepare to become a prince, this kind of treason even he thinks is cool!
One of the core of the Bulls, Charles Barkley, is also crazy about what the two father and son are doing, and he even wants to fund the upcoming Kingdom of Tamriel in order to make himself a real Sir Barr. If he had been younger, he would have been the first to sign up for the Tamriel Royal Basketball Team when it was formed.
In the entire team, except for Jordan who went to Zhang Zhu's ICQ space again before the game to weakly urge the debt, there was almost no hostility towards Zhang Zhu.
But don't get me wrong, although the hostility is much less, the fighting spirit has not diminished in the slightest.
Just imagine, if they can beat a prince on the basketball court, this sense of accomplishment will make them more aggressive as basketball players, and Zhang Mao's new identity will only make it difficult for them to rise to bad intentions, but this situation is not new to now.
When both teams returned to the locker room, they all re-emphasized what they needed to pay attention to today, and they both knew the importance of the first game of the Finals, as 21 teams in the last 30 years have lifted the O'Brien Cup after winning the first game of the Finals.
So, even though this is only the first game of the series, it has a huge psychological cue effect for both teams - whoever wins gets a 70% win rate.
Zhang also persuaded the team to come up with a special bonus before the game, hoping to motivate the players to play more active and tough in the game, such as: every time the opponent hits a foul, every time he grabs a frontcourt rebound, and every time he makes an opponent's mistake, the player can get a bonus of $1,000.
The Lakers players are certainly motivated by this, and that's what Zhang wants to see, and they need to make up for the lack of overall experience with positivity.
Harris is emphasizing defense, and both the Bulls and Jazz share the same weakness, which is that Jordan and Barkley are not physically strong enough to sustain four consecutive quarters of high-intensity confrontation. Even a few years ago, they were tireless monsters, but since last year, they have become mortals physically.
"Confrontation", "confrontation", or "confrontation"!
If the Lakers want to beat the Bulls, they must come up with ultra-high-intensity confrontations to make the game a meat grinder, and of course, they must not forget the two magic weapons they used to beat the Jazz - "fast break" and "rebounding", which are the tricks that make the Bulls players more tired.
Harris wants the Lakers to create a huge ground meat battlefield on the defensive end, where they can drain the physical strength of the Bulls players on the offensive end, and then use Zhang's individual ability to gain an advantage for the team on the offensive end.
Five defenses, one offense – that's the Lakers' strategy today!
