Robert Johnson, a graduate of Princeton University, founded BET, the first black entertainment television station in the whole country, at the age of 34.

In 2001, Johnson sold BET and thus became the first black billionaire in the history of the country.

As early as two years ago,

Robert Johnson spent $300 million to buy the Charlotte Bobcats, who are in the pipeline, and the team will officially enter the NBA history stage in the new season.

"Well, Reeve, you're right, but I still feel that this Celestial Kid has a lot of potential and has a chance to become a qualified second leader of the team in the future!"

"In tonight's game, if he can still hit at least 3 three-pointers in the second half, then start as soon as possible and contact his agent!"

"Give him an annual salary of about 3 million, which should be a lot, right? No matter how much it is, it's not non-negotiable! ”

Cheryl Reeve, the general manager, even though he was uncomfortable with the boss's meddling in management matters, did not dare to refute it, so he could only agree with a smile.

"Okay boss, but looking at the situation of this game, it should be difficult for him to score another three-pointer in the second half!"

This year's NBA Draft lottery draw ended ten days ago.

The Orlando Magic got the No. 1 pick, while the soon-to-be-league-bound Charlotte Bobcats got the No. 1 pick.

2004 can also be said to be a big year for the draft, and Dwight Howard, a talented high school student at Christ College in Atlanta, has basically booked the top pick.

The Charlotte Bobcats, on the other hand, have their eye on Emeka Okafor, the final four finalist MOP of this year's NCAA, and intend to select him as the core of the team with the second pick.

Besides

Josh Smith, Andre Iguodala, Devin Harris, Ben Gordon, J.R. Smith, Ruel Deng, Sean Livingston, Tony Allen, Kevin Martin...... They are all rookie players in this year's class.

North Carolina.

Charlotte.

Charlotte Christian College, in the video room of the basketball training hall.

A baby-faced skinny schoolboy...... Ahem, it's a sophomore in high school, and I'm watching the G6 game of the West Finals on TV with my teammates on the high school basketball team.

The baby-faced black teenager, whose skin was noticeably whiter than his black companions, was none other than 16-year-old Stephen Curry.

Curry of the high school team still wears the No. 20 jersey, and only changed to No. 30 after entering Davidson College.

Curry was too thin at this time, but he became the absolute workhorse of the varsity team with his accurate shooting and good ball handling.

Of course, there are also the connections and connections of Curry's father, Dale Curry.

After all, Dale Curry was the absolute workhorse of the Charlotte Hornets throughout the 90s, known as the league's sharpshooter, and won the Best Sixth Man award.

When Dale Curry first came to play for the Charlotte Hornets, Curry Jr. grew up here.

During Curry's childhood, the Charlotte Hornets were arguably his home team, and he often came to the stadium to watch the game.

To this day, Curry Jr. is still haunted by the team's trade for Kobe Bryant after he drafted him in '96.

But with the relocation of the Hornets to New Orleans for the 02-03 season, Charlotte was left without an NBA team.

It wasn't until the new season that the Bobcats finally landed in the city of Charlotte.

But what Curry is most concerned about now is the G6 in front of him.

Although Lin Fei only scored 3 three-pointers in the first half, and they were all shot in the first quarter, he didn't score a point in the second quarter.

But Curry, who has a super high ball quotient, saw the importance of Lin Fei to the Timberwolves' offense.

Just after Lin Fei made 7 of 7 three-pointers in the last game, Curry, who was also obsessed with three-point shooting since childhood, already had a strong sense of worship for Lin Fei.

After all, Curry, who is 16 years old, has not found the slightest possibility of entering the NBA to play because of his thin body.

Even if he enters the NBA in the future, he should be a marginal character like Lin Fei.

But now, Curry has seen a miracle in Lin Fei, who is thin and can only project the draft, and can also play his own highlight moments in the NBA.

"Stephen, didn't you say this Lin is amazing? He didn't score a point in the second quarter! ”

Curry stared at the TV screen with big innocent eyes, and said stubbornly:

"I'm sure Lin will score in the second half, he'll shoot more three-pointers!"

Keep your eyes back on Staples Arena.

At half-time, in the away dressing room.

Philip Saunders praised the performance of his players in the first half and encouraged everyone to pick up on the work in the second half and win the game.

Leading by one point at halftime is a situation that the Timberwolves head coach can fully accept, after all, this is a back-to-back game on the road.

If the game can be scorched until the last minute, Philip Saunders believes the Timberwolves will have a better chance of winning.

Not only because the overall age structure of the team's main players is younger than the Lakers,

What's more, because now in the team of the Timberwolves, there is Lin Fei, a killer assassin who seals his throat with blood.

"Madman, Ratril, you've taken on the main responsibility on both ends of the floor tonight, and I'm so proud of your performance!"

"But the more difficult thing is in the second half, grit your teeth and hold on, even if you can't get a bigger advantage, you must find a way to bite the score for me!"

"Wally, you had a good first half, be ready to play 40 minutes tonight!"

"Lin, you have 3 fouls in the first half, you must control the number of fouls, Ratrier, Wally, and Hojberg must always pay attention to Lin's defense!"

"I'm going to try to pile up the playing time of the second half until the last 10 minutes of the final quarter, so you won't play more than six minutes in the third quarter!"

After a 7-of-7 three-point performance in the last quarter, Philip Saunders has come to believe that Lin Fei is a valuable player with a big heart.

There are a lot of players in the league who are not very good, but they are often born for the big scene, and they can shoot more accurately every critical moment.

Lin Fei nodded and said: "Coach, I'm in good shape, playing 17 minutes in the second half, it shouldn't be a problem!" ”

The wolf king, who got 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block in the first half, obviously also played with confidence and state, patting his chest and saying:

"Lin, with you present, Latrill and I are not afraid of being trapped, if you are tired, then squat directly in the bottom corner on the offensive end, and we will make up for you on the defensive end!"

"As long as me, Latrill and Wally are on the floor at the same time, Daric or Fred will open up space and play 3 against the Lakers, and they won't suffer!"

In the face of the battle of life and death, the wolf king also started from the purpose of the team's winning, and didn't care about personal data at all.

After all, there is no MVP in the West at this time, and even if there is, Lin Fei, who only played the last two good games, will not be able to steal the limelight from him as the wolf king.

The "madman" who scored 10 points in the first half also had confidence and perseverance on his face:

"With Lin and Wally's two outside firepower points contained, our offensive space has obviously opened up!"

"I can get that Kobe kid to score 30 points tonight, but we have to win the game!"

Si Zebiak's eyes also flashed with high-pitched fighting intent, and he and Lin Fei beside him looked at each other and smiled, encouraging each other:

"I feel like I'm in the best shape tonight, and if I have a chance in the second half, I can shoot more!"

Lin Fei believes that this is the time when the whole Timberwolves team is most united, and he also excitedly uses an ancient saying of the Celestial Empire to inspire his teammates:

"If you are willing to cut your body, you will also pull the Lakers F4 off the horse!"

The Timberwolves players looked at each other and asked Lin Fei in unison:

"Lin, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Fei clenched his fists, his eyes were like a sword: "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!" ”

The Timberwolves teammates were confused, and the more they explained, the more they couldn't understand it......

Lin Fei: "...... Don't say much, it's over! ”

The wolf king shook his fist and roared: "Lin is right, fucking Lakers, Shaquille is a hair, and Kobe Bryant is a bird?" Lao Tzu is the MVP of this season! ”

The "madman" squinted at the wolf king, and was secretly unhappy in his heart: "No Lao Tzu, can you win the MVP?" ”

Philip Saunders had a satisfied smile on his face, he had never seen the whole Timberwolves team so united.

Tonight's G6 in the West should be stable.

In the locker room of the Lakers' home team, the atmosphere is much worse than that of the away team.

There was obviously no positive interaction between the players, and although Bryant scored a team-high 15 points in the first half, he was not very efficient.

O'Neal also had 11 points and 6 rebounds in the first half, but the Timberwolves' regional defense was reasonable, and the two interior lines of the Wolves and Olowokandi were very active and desperate on the defensive end.

This made the 32-year-old big shark unable to play a dominant performance, and he was also dissatisfied with the number of shots Bryant, and was slightly indignant.

Malone and Payton are two old guys who are dragging their feet again, although Malone also scored 8 points in the first half, but the defensive end is very poor, Payton is okay defensively, only 1 of 7 shots on the offensive end.

Fisher, who was on the bench, focused on defense, and even though he beat Lin Fei many times on the offensive end, he chose to play the ball in the face of supplementary defense.

The Timberwolves couldn't break into the restricted area, and the shooting percentage of several outside attempts was also not ideal.

Lao Yu was wondering if he had overdrawn his good luck in shooting in the last round of Tianwang Mountain's 0.4-second lore against the Spurs?

To be honest, if it weren't for Fisher's 0.4-second extreme kill, it would probably be the defending champion Spurs who are now standing in the Western Conference finals to face the Timberwolves.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson's disunity with the Lakers team is naturally insightful.

However, as the so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold, it is simply unrealistic to try to solve these internal contradictions on the spot.

"Tonight's G6 in the West, if you don't win it, none of you know the consequences better than me!"

"In the second half, Kobe Bryant and Derrick should make more defensive fouls and get him down as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night!"

"Kevin and Ratrier's blocking made us lose a lot of points in the first half, Carl and Kobe Bryant's change of defense must be timely, and Shaquille protects the basket!"

"In the other third quarter, the Timberwolves are likely to continue to sacrifice shark slashing tactics, Shaquille, you have to be calm, don't be impatient!"

"On the offensive end, I still say the same thing, impact the basket more, create damage, this is our home court, Stephen Jiawei will definitely take care of it!"

"Kobe, even if you hit two three-pointers in the first half, don't be obsessed with the feeling!"

The 15-minute break at halftime ended quickly and the third quarter began.

In NBA games, the team that gets the ball in the opening jump ball will have the opening ball in the first and fourth quarters, and the other team will get the opening ball in the second and third quarters.

The Timberwolves served from the bottom line, the "madman" advanced with the ball, and Lin Fei quickly ran to the bottom left corner.

Three verses come up,

The "Zen Master" didn't expect Philip Saunders to send Lin Fei as soon as he came up in the second half, playing 1 big and 4 small.

On the Lakers' side, Fisher was resting off the court, and Gary Payton was chasing Lin Fei on the court.

After all, the 36-year-old Peyton's legs and feet were a little slower than Fisher's, and Lin Fei seized the opportunity, coupled with his abundant physical strength after halftime, and a cross cover at the top of the arc with Kevin Garnett,

The quality of the Wolf King's cover was good, completely jamming Payton Sr.'s pursuit route.

Lin Fei received a pass from the "madman" at a familiar position at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and made a decisive three-point shot against Carl Malone, who was half a beat slower to change the defense.

Woohoo!

"Huh!"

"Beep!"

The ball went into the whistle, and the ball hollowed into the net, and it also caused a foul on the old Malone's shooting hitter.

Just 10 seconds into the second half, the Timberwolves went out unexpectedly on the offensive end and misplaced the Lakers by surprise.

Old Peyton and Ma Long both blamed themselves, while the Wolf King and Lin Fei laughed and high-fived, and cooperated happily.

Lin Fei, who walked to the free throw line, was calm, and he had risen to 75 free throw attribute points, and he also had a 780% shooting rate, right?
