Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Howard was carried down, the farce came to an end, but the game is not yet!
But Howard, without the crazy mode, insisted, and the Magic was no different from surrendering.

As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain, and a loss is like a landslide. By the end of the third quarter, the score of the two sides had reached 75-97. The Cavaliers led by 22 points, and the game completely entered garbage time!

Amidst the unanimous shouts of "The Dark Knight Rises" from the fans, Wu Di clocked out of get off work in three quarters and enjoyed the treatment of a veteran cadre.

But Scott is a little worried:

"The three rookies don't think this is the playoffs, do they? No, after the game is over, we have to take these guys out for solo practice..."

Scott was a little worried, but Stan Van Gundy was already ashamed:

"Damn, should I look for a job again?"

He knew very well that Howard definitely didn't have the kind of acting skills to pretend to be paralyzed and bit Jordan, so Howard definitely had a herniated lumbar disc just now...

Taking into account Howard's previous statement, Howard is estimated to submit a transaction application to the Magic management that night, and prepare for lumbar surgery at the same time to ensure future combat power.

In other words, the Magic's playoffs have ended early!

The mouth is cold, the first game of the series between the Magic and the Cavaliers is such a disastrous defeat, and the chill from the north makes the Heat feel as if they have fallen into an ice cave in Miami in April.

"Damn it, Howard is too useless!"

James spat that he originally expected Howard to consume Wu Di, but now it's a good thing, the Cavaliers are expected to easily sweep 4-0!
Although there is a high probability that the Heat can eliminate the Eagles 4-0 or 4-1 in the series, they are definitely not as easy as the Cavaliers, and the disadvantage is huge!

Bosh was also worried and went straight to the forehead, Maddow, what script did the Cavaliers take?
It's too outrageous!

This aura, to be honest, he was already a little vain.

They were eliminated by the Cavaliers last season. This season, although the Cavaliers are veterans, Ou Shenxian is by no means in vain. There is also that little Thomas, who can always explode in the fourth quarter...

This is not the Avengers vs Thanos at all, this is Ultraman vs little monsters!

Seeing that the two were so worried, Wade quickly comforted:
"Hey, guys, it's not necessarily a bad thing, think about it, what did we step on in our first playoffs?"

The eyes of James and Bosh brightened instantly, especially James, he participated in the playoffs for the first time at that time, it was called a smooth sailing, and he scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in the first game. The triple-double, but the good times did not last long , was eliminated in the second round, and the data declined severely.

He was not a rookie season at the time, but a third-year player, but his mentality fluctuated greatly.

Irving and other rookies played so smoothly in the first round of the playoffs this time. On the surface, it is a good thing, but it also planted risks. When the time comes, these old ball hooligans will make a targeted wave of mentality, and they may explode!
The Heat players were discussing enthusiastically, and the president's office didn't stop.

And Riley watched very carefully, pausing the analysis while watching, and later called Spoelstra to the office to observe together.

So, when the game was over for an hour, they saw the end of the halftime, which was the stage where the Cavaliers were dancing jingle dance:
"Maybe our new opportunity is here!"

Riley said with bright eyes.

"Ah? You mean dancing?"

Spoelstra asked with some surprise, the Cavaliers' dance has become a hot topic on the Internet now, dancing can indeed increase the morale of the team, and it can also enhance the relationship between the team and the fans, but Riley is old enough to accept it. This dance?
"of course not!"

Riley narrowed his eyes, turned his head and said in doubt:
"This dance is obviously aimed at Howard. Howard probably has listed the Cavaliers as his mortal enemy in his heart, so I think we may be able to recruit him through a trade. But, why do you have such an idea?"

Sipo coughed a few times, so that's the case, he said, the sun came out in the west, and Riley actually started to appreciate this kind of indecent dance...

But recruiting Howard through a trade?

What chips are used?
James is impossible. Although the Magic said before that only James can replace Howard alone, but now James has a strong bond with Riley because of his personal situation similar to Riley, and has been supported as the core of the team...

Not to mention Wade, although he has lost his position as the core of the team, he is the cornerstone of the Heat's team building and has a wide audience of local fans!
Could it be that giraffe?
But relatively speaking, Bosh is more suitable for the Heat's current lineup, which can open up space for James and Wade...

But other role players are used as chips, and the weight is far worse...

Spoelstra suppressed the doubts in his heart. No matter how Riley brokers a deal, it is not an area he can get his hands on. Although Riley was "fired", he still has control over the Heat. He only needs to lead the team to win.

Thinking of this, he smiled and responded:
"Someone also wants to organize everyone to dance, you know, the guy with the conspicuous bag..."

Riley touched his chin, pondered for a while and nodded in response:

"Dancing is not good, but fighting dance is okay. Tell him, no matter what form it is, singing, dancing, rap or even playing the piano, if you are sure of winning, just do it! If you are not sure of winning, don't do it."

That night, in the other three games, there were no disturbances in the two games in the West. The Lakers easily defeated the Nuggets 88-103 to win, and the Spurs easily defeated the Jazz 91-106 to win G1.

The game between the Eastern Bulls and the Knicks was embarrassing.

81-103, the Knicks lost in a mess, but the Bulls did not "win".

Because Rose sprained his left knee, he was directly reimbursed for the season!
The script is basically the same as the previous life. With such a big difference in points, Thibodeau still doesn't know how to maintain Rose and let Rose stay on the court in the fourth quarter to collect statistics...

In the regular season, Rose had been exhausted in order to compete for record rankings. This time, Thibodeau was left on the field in the fourth quarter, just pushing the dominoes to fall. The result is already doomed!
Time flies. On May 5th, the results of the first round of the series have been announced for a strong and lucky team. First, the Thunder swept the Lone Ranger 5-4!
Nuo Tianwang burst into tears in Dallas, last season's championship was eliminated in the first round!
Moreover, he was no longer young, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to make a living after this somersault.

However, another top team that day inspired him deeply, and that was the Spurs!

The Spurs swept the Jazz 4-0!

Under Popovich's control, this team, which was blacked out last season, has a second spring. Their average age is not much younger than the Mavericks, or even older.

Originally, the Heat should have qualified today, but they were successfully overturned by the Eagles in Atlanta.

The Double Eagle King played a bloody game today. As soon as James and Wade rushed to the inside, they encountered the eagles' fearless entanglement. The shooting touch was repeated, and finally lost the game 94-104.

On May 5, the Cavaliers won Game 6 in Orlando without bloodshed, easily defeated the Magic 4-4, and became the third team to enter the second round.

This result was doomed the moment Howard was carried into the operating room.

However, there is also a worry for the Cavaliers, that is, there is still more than a week before the second round date of May 5, and they have to find a way to maintain their touch.

Scott's arrangement is to rest for three days, and then conduct a closed training camp later. After all, the next round is the annual battle with the Heat, and their pressure is not small.

In the previous regular season, the Cavaliers had a record of one win and two losses against the Heat. Although there are factors in cultivating rookies, this time their tactical advantage is no longer there. Can't tell.

Wu Di boarded a private plane to New York with Ariana immediately after the game.

Tomorrow is a big day for Facebook's Nasdaq IPO to ring the bell!

Apart from competitions, Wu Di has a different experience every time he comes to New York.

That is, more than two years ago, he was still riding a dirty and smelly Greyhound bus, traveling thousands of miles to New York to seek NBA star agent Schwartz to sign him.

In a blink of an eye, he was invited to participate in such an important occasion as the listing bell ringing the bell as an independent director of a group executive with a market value of US$[-] billion!
It's really amazing, once the gears of fate start to turn, success will be much easier!

At 5:7 on May 9, Zuckerberg, wearing a jumper, rang the listing bell in Times Square on time!
Excited heart, shaking hands!

Ribbons were falling all over the sky, and dozens of people instantly became billionaires!

Of course, this also includes Wu Di, his system interface, wealth value interface, and the value of the stock column have exceeded 20 billion dollars!

However, in the blink of an eye, a shocking oolong happened!
Nasdaq's trading program malfunctioned and there was no opening price for a full 20 minutes!

Facebook is the largest round of IPO in Nasdaq in ten years, and it will also be the most brilliant achievement in the ten-year revival of Nasdaq, but there is such a low-level failure in the trading program...

The newly-promoted billionaires present panicked instantly. Facebook’s price is so high, they are still inflating the stock price trend, and now the stock price is gone?

Did something go wrong? !

Zuckerberg kept drinking water to hide his panic, just like a robot with bugs.

However, Wu Di remained calm. This fault happened in his previous life, and it was a major stain on Nasdaq, which made it lose to the New York Stock Exchange in the follow-up competition for Ali Baba's IPO.

10 minutes later, the bug was fixed by a Chinese engineer, and the stock price recovered to show that it was $40.55, an increase of 6.71%!

And it is still spiraling upwards, 6.93%, 6.87%, 6.92%, 7.11%...

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene, much warmer than when it was just launched!
Finally, at about 11:03, Facebook’s stock price stabilized at $42.86. When the market closed in the morning, it rose by 12.28% overall!

Facebook's market capitalization has reached a whopping $1167.7 billion!

Wu Di's 2.32% shareholding has reached US$27.09 billion!

However, the overall stock price trend is still much weaker than that of the previous life when the opening rose by nearly 50%.

Obviously, because the price is too high this time, the market is not particularly optimistic about Facebook's current stock price.

In the previous life, it rose by nearly 50%, and Facebook was only able to reach a market value of 12.28 billion dollars. As a result, this time Zuckerberg opened with a market value of 100 billion dollars, and an additional increase of [-]%, which was more than [-] billion dollars in market value. , which is pretty good!
In the afternoon, there may be some gains. After all, there is only so much water in the market. If you pump too much, it will naturally disappear.

Thinking of this, Wu Di opened the system interface, ready to exchange some talent points:

[Main task: "Championship" (in progress, you can get a no-injury badge after completing it!)]

[Currently available talent points: 0 points]

Wu Di clicked on the talent point redemption details page. From the legendary level, he can exchange up to 37 super-giant talent points. After these 37 talent points are kryptonized, his super-giant talent points will be used up. The redemption of points will turn into a staggering $1 million one point.

A little $1 million, let alone his wealth of $27 billion, even if it doubles, it might not be enough!

Those who have more money get richer flowers, and those who have less money get richer flowers. Wu Di has realized this time...

In short, in order to block the level of super giant players and prevent the price of recovery essence and other medicines from continuing to increase, Wu Di is going to exchange 36 talent points first.

"System, exchange Facebook stock for 36 talent points!"

Wu Di silently read a sentence, and on the system wealth value interface, his Facebook stock worth 3.6 million US dollars was automatically transferred to one of his accounts with the same name.

After the company goes public, Nasdaq has a 6-month sales restriction period for the original stock of the executive, but the system is transferred to the account of the same name. From the outside world, there is no transaction, and the stock is still in his name. Out of his control, Under Armour's stock is also operated in the same way, Wu Di is used to it.

The key now is, how to spend the 36 talent points?
Let’s talk about it, but it’s actually not much. It’s only 36 points, which is far from enough to "fill up 95". After all, attributes such as vision, defense, steals, and rebounds are holding back.

But if he is added to the right place, he will definitely make him shine in the next series against the Heat and lead the team to victory!
Wu Dilao pondered for a while, and first issued some instructions:
"System, add 5 points for speed, 1 point for strength, 2 points for bounce, and 3 points for stamina!"

In this way, his body attribute bar becomes:
[Host: Wu Di]

【Age: 19 years old】

【Physical Attributes】

【Height: 201cm】

【Armspan: 221cm】

【Weight: 102kg】

【Extreme Speed: 90 (95)】

【Strength: 97 (98)】

【Waist and abdomen: 98 (98)】

【Flexible: 98 (98)】

[Bounce: 93 (95)]

[Explosive Power: 98 (98)]

[Physical fitness: 95 (98)]

Except for speed and jumping, all other attributes have become 98, and the available talent points have also become 25 points! (end of this chapter)
