Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 184 The water in O'Brien's cup is too deep, listen to the boss' advice, you can't hold it!

"Take G7!The long-awaited riding heat battle is coming! "

"Slaughtering a Bull to Sacrifice the Heavens, With Boundless Mana, Does the Knight Have a Chance to Complete His Revenge?" "

"Go get a real championship, we have to re-examine the Cavaliers' playoff slogan!" "

……

On May 5, the Cavaliers won tickets to the Eastern Conference finals and made headlines on the front pages of major newspapers.

Celebrities from all walks of life on Twitter also tweeted that they would come to watch the East Finals G1 live.

For example, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has the most fans among current sports stars, with more than 5000 million Twitter followers, pop music singer JB Justin Bieber, number one James fan Rihanna, hip-hop king Jay-Z, Hollywood superstar Will Smith, etc.

So many stars came to support, so that the tickets for this game were also sold at sky-high prices.

There are still two days until the game day, May 5, but the average ticket price of $18 has already broken the ticket price record for the conference finals, which is only lower than the $836 in the tiebreaker between the Lakers and the Celtics last year. No.1092 in the record for the most expensive ticket price in the playoffs.

The highest ticket price was 5 U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to more than RMB 3 according to the current exchange rate.

More than 34 yuan to watch a game, the price is true. Wu Suhua and Wen Xia, who came to visit the team during the preparation period and gave the team hot soup, were shocked.

The two really couldn't figure out that someone would spend the down payment of a house in Yangcheng to watch a game.

"Mom, the essence of the American knife is just a piece of paper. Otherwise, where do you think the United States has such a high GDP? The service industry accounts for more than 80% of GDP!"

Wu Di smiled and put a drop of recovery essence into Lefu's bowl of pork ribs and corn soup:
"Must drink it up, the mysterious power from the east, drink it up quickly."

"Okay! Thank you boss, thank you auntie!"

Le Fu took it greedily. He has been drinking this soup for several days in a row. The effect is comparable to that of a magic medicine. He can stand up and walk. Even the doctor said it was a miracle!
"Tsk tsk, boss, the taste is so good, can you ask the aunts to open a restaurant?"

After taking a few mouthfuls, Little Jordan filled another bowl for himself.

"Don't drink so fast, such a precious soup is worth savoring slowly, do you know that!"

Le Fu reprimanded that although there is a big pot of pork rib soup, it is not enough for more than a dozen muscular men. He is the type of chewing slowly, and he basically disappears after drinking a bowl.

"I want you, a cripple, to take care of me!"

Little Jordan sneered, after finishing the second bowl, the evil hand stretched out to the spoon again.

"Coach Byron, Jordan has to control his weight, he can't drink anymore!"

Seeing that his reprimand was useless, Le Fu directly filed a complaint with Scott.

Scott took Jordan's hand directly, and poured the soup from the spoon into his own bowl:
"I have to say, what Kevin said makes sense!"

"Coach, it's too much!"

"Haha, children don't need to grab, we brought some more this time!"

Wu Suhua said in English with a smile, she was originally engaged in foreign trade, she has a basic knowledge of English, and now she has lived in the United States for half a year, and it is said that she is basically fine.

"As for the hotel, we are currently selecting a location!"

Wen Xia and Wu Suhua looked at each other and said with a smile, Wu Suhua has such an upstanding child as Wu Di, so naturally she doesn't need to do the hard work of a restaurant, but she is very active in planning to open a Chinese restaurant.

Wu Di expressed his support for this. With a big wave of his hand, he took out 40 US dollars, accounting for 80% of the shares, as the start-up capital of the restaurant, so that there will be a good place for the team to have dinner later, and it can also spread Chinese food culture.

The Cleveland Cavaliers training facility is full of fun, but the NBA president's office in New York is full of tension.

"NO, we have already discussed this matter! The Cavaliers defeated the Bulls in the series, and the MVP must be awarded to Wu Di!"

Stern frowned and said, refuting Silver's proposal to award the regular season MVP to James.

"David, no one can award this thorn to Wu Di! He dared to fight against the league in his rookie season. If we still award him the MVP this time, his arrogance will only be stronger. Then other stars behind Don’t you have to follow suit and rebel?!”

Xiao Hua said excitedly, his eyes subconsciously turned over to the other vice president present, that is, Mark Tatum, or Tan Huimin.

Recently, he sent someone to check Tan Huimin's blood background, and found that Tan Huimin's mother, like Wu Di, was from Guangdong Province, China!

Now we can't let Wu Di become bigger and stronger!

"Hey, that thing has passed. Awarding the MVP to Wu Di will inject a wave of traffic into the series between the Cavaliers and the Heat! And it can also restore the image of the league in the eyes of the public. This is what we should do of!"

Stern sighed and said that he didn't need to discuss with Xiao Hua, but since he further handed over the league's affairs to Xiao Hua in 2010, he had to respect Xiao Hua's opinion.

After all, this is the heir launched by the Jewish consortium behind him.

At that time, he graduated from Columbia Law School and joined Pusco Law Firm, which is the legal representative of the NBA. important endorsement.

And Xiao Hua is the son of a partner at Pusco Law Firm.

"Awarding James can also inject traffic into the riding heat war, and if you don't give it, the brand owner will not be able to explain it!"

After Xiao Hua finished speaking, he looked at Tan Huimin.

Seeing this, Tan Huimin smiled and said:

"There is no problem with the brand owner, as long as David makes the decision!"

Xiao Hua's eyes sank, Tan Huimin dared to openly oppose him on such an important issue!
Stern showed a look of appreciation. In fact, Tan Huimin is the ideal successor in his heart, but who made Xiao Hua's relationship harder:

"Adam, there is a big problem with awarding the MVP to LeBron. After all, he has not won the championship. If he is awarded the MVP again and causes three consecutive MVPs, the rumors of NikeBA outside will only become more serious, and it will damage LeBron's reputation. Not good!"

But Xiao Hua still insisted:

"Although LeBron has not won a championship yet, he won 100% this year! And didn't you say that you would create a dominant star like Jordan for me before leaving office?"

"Now that Wu Di has won the MVP, it is impossible for him to win the championship. At most, he will become a prince like James before, and the yellow race is so easy to get injured. It is impossible for him to become a dominant star!"

"The dominant star is too difficult to cultivate. The Jordan successors you cultivated before, Grant Hill, Tracy McGrady, and Iverson, failed to win the championship. The only hopeful Kobe was swept away this year. Now it's time to tilt the resources. To LeBron!"

Stern hesitated. More than ten years after Jordan retired, there were many stars bearing the name of Jordan's successor, but the facts proved that no one could take over.

So far, the record for the ratings of the finals is still set by Jordan, and it was the era of cable TV at that time, and the gold content of the ratings is much higher than it is now.

But does James really have hope of becoming the next Jordan?

It seems that there is indeed a good chance. The Big Three of the Heat, coupled with the legendary coach Riley, will rule the league for at least four years.

And James is still very young, he is only 27 years old this year, if he wins the championship this year, he will be younger than the 28 years old when Jordan won the first championship.

In addition, one of the factors Xiao Hua just said had to be considered, and that was health.

Yao Ming retired due to injury at the age of 30, and Wu Di was injured twice in the first season when he entered the league. The number of missed games in his rookie season was about the same as that of James in the previous eight seasons combined...

Seeing Stern hesitate, Xiao Hua immediately pursued the victory and said:
"Since it has been delayed until now, the next few days are not too bad. Why don't we wait for the results of the Eastern Conference Finals before making a decision! This will not only be safe, but also avoid the problem of a cliff-like decline in traffic after the Eastern Conference Finals..."

Although making a decision based on the results of the Eastern Conference Finals is basically equivalent to walking James MVP, it moved Stern.

James is like a stock. After buying it with the unprecedented number one pick of a high school student, this stock has been falling for many years, and he has also increased his position for many years. The seven-time All-Star and the two-time MVP are all tearful additions.

Now finally ushered in a turning point, if you want to speed up the return of blood, naturally continue to increase your position!
However, it would take too long to make a decision based on the results of the Eastern Conference Finals, which is really inappropriate.

Stern took a deep breath and said:
"No, it's too unfair to the Cavaliers with the results of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Cavaliers' lineup is not deep enough. G1 is the easiest to win against the Heat, so we only look at G1!"

"The result of G1, a match that determines the MVP!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Hua was delighted in his heart, Stern was really old, and it was too easy to be swayed by others.

G1 is indeed the most evenly matched game for both sides.

Although G3 is the Cavaliers' home game, by that time the Cavaliers have fallen behind 0-2, and the eight-man rotation lineup has long been exhausted, and it will only be more difficult to play than G1.

This is also the reason why celebrities from all walks of life want to watch G1. At the Heat's home court, watching the Cavaliers being repaired, no one will say you are happy when you are happy.

At the Cavaliers' home court, wouldn't it be a big problem to see the Cavaliers being repaired and appearing happy?
In the final analysis, this is why James would rather go to Miami with the infamy of betrayal. The fans only like the feeling of winning. If you lose the game, even if you have 1 reasons, the fans will not forgive you!
After all, the ticket price is real money, who would want to spend money on a lesson from failure?
Thinking of this, Xiao Hua couldn't help but crazily raise the corners of his mouth. Although he has never played before, his ability to understand the game and analyze the audience's preferences is definitely first-class!
Having said that, even in G1, the Heat have a probability of winning more than 99%.

Not to mention the 0-3 mutual record in the regular season, now the Heat have three days more rest than the Cavaliers, waiting for work with leisure, and the team is strong.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers' lineup is already worse than the Heat's, and Love, the main starter, is also injured. What can they do to win the Heat?

Unless the league goes off in person.

But this time it is impossible to drop.

Using the results of G1 to determine the ownership of the MVP will only award the MVP to James faster!

……

On May 5, a trailer loaded with containers suddenly arrived at the door of Wu Di's house.

Wu Di opened the box, and it turned out to be a brand new silver convertible sports car, Aston Martin Virage!

Heh, the supercar that Corvo lost to him in the slam dunk contest has arrived!
The towing master handed Wu Di a receipt and a card, which read:

"Take it, you're welcome! BTW, I actually arrived at UCLA at four o'clock in the morning that day, but my training time only belongs to my teammates, and you are not worthy!"

——Your boss and spiritual mentor, Kobe Bryant.

Wu Di couldn't help laughing. He only told O'Neill about going to UCLA at four o'clock in the morning that day, but O'Neill was actually a little guilty about whether he said the right place, so he didn't tell the outside world.

Now that Corvo can say such a thing, it can really prove that he himself was at the scene at that time.

But what the hell is that last sentence, using this little trick to recruit him?
That's enough!

Wu Di called Corvo and got through quickly:
"Tsk tsk, the car is not bad! But the card is a bit crazy! Have you forgotten the one hundred duels you owed me before?"

Kobe instantly became angry:

"What is a hundred heads-up games? Isn't there only 6 games?"

Wu Di smiled:

"You haven't paid it back after the deadline, and the interest will be raised once a day, and a hundred times is considered a small amount!"

Kobe's scalp was numb. Fortunately, he transported Aston Martin to Wu Di in the first place, otherwise...

Wait, that's not right, Kobe thought about it, and suddenly realized that he was almost disturbed by Wu Di, and sneered:
"Son, you're good at attacking the mind in the playoffs! But if you want to mess with my mentality, you're still too young!"

Wu Di laughed out loud and didn't explain much:
"Take a good rest at home. If you have the opportunity to have an operation to prolong the life of your knee, anyway, the O'Brien Cup will be contracted by me. You have no chance!"

"you!"

Kobe was short of breath and was swept by the Mavericks, which was the pain of his life:
"Nonsense, it would be nice if you could win a game in the Eastern Conference Finals!"

Wu Di immediately said:

"Why, want to bet again?"

"roll!"

Kobe scolded, bet on der, if he wants to bet again, his surname is not Ke!
But he rolled his eyes and sneered again:
"Son, I have information on LeBron and Dwyane on my side. It's all dry stuff. I'll share it with you later. How about canceling our previous one-on-one fight?"

Information about LeBron and Dwyane?

Good stuff!

His experience in fighting against the two is far less than that of Corvo. If Corvo can pass on his experience to him, it can make up for a lot of lack of experience.

But to write off the heads-up account?

Think beautiful!
In a heads-up with Corvo, you can get at least 30 dollars, and you can buy a Lambo!

Oh yes!

"Well, didn't Lamborghini just come out with a new model? I'll buy you one this summer, but only if you share something real!"

Wu Di laughed and said, a Lamborghini big cow, it is worthwhile to exchange Corvo's matchup experience with James and Wade.

"Of course it's real!"

When Kobe heard that Wu Di was going to buy him a new model, he immediately felt that this kid was quite good, and it was worthwhile for him to send Aston Martin there!
It is worth supporting!
Thinking of this, he laughed again:

"Son, the water in O'Brien's cup is too deep, listen to the advice of the boss, you can't handle it!"
