Although LeBron James made a lot of changes in this game, the Seattle Thunder still won the first game of the finals with a big score of 121 to 93.

Durant and Curry played well in this game, scoring 29 and 24 points respectively. Although Westbrook did not perform well on the offensive end, he was very effective in limiting Wade on the defensive end.

As the team owner, Gilbert Jr. does not have the same excitement of watching the game as Thunder fans.

However, he was still happy with the team's performance. When the team reached its climax in the third quarter, he also shouted loudly to cheer for the team.

Alicia Vikander is a football fan, but she was also infected by the atmosphere of the NBA Finals. Alex Martin is a basketball fan himself, and their passionate cheers were also recorded by the TV broadcast camera.

After the game, LeBron James walked straight into the locker room without saying a word.

He looked back at Gilbert Jr. who was being interviewed and knew that the season was over and it was time to consider his future.

I heard that Kyrie Irving of the Cavaliers is pretty good, and it’s his former team, so maybe it’s time to bring a championship to his hometown.

Little Gilbert didn't know that LeBron James was about to make a decision, and he was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines because of the team's big win.

"I am very, very happy that the team got off to a good start, which is very important to us. I believe that this season, the team can bring a championship to Seattle fans."

As soon as Gilbert Jr. finished speaking, Westbrook attacked from behind with a bottle of ice water and poured it all over Gilbert Jr.'s head.

Little Gilbert was not angry after being pranked. Instead, he laughed and high-fived Westbrook.

The reporter smiled and said: "Your team atmosphere is really good. It's rare to see the boss and the players getting along harmoniously."

"Yes."

Gilbert Jr. also smiled and said, “I hope that the players will not only regard basketball as a job, but also a passion, and regard their teammates as brothers who can trust each other.

I have always believed that passion leads to achievement, and I believe this is true in both the basketball and film worlds.”

"One last question. Your new movie is about to be released. Will you invite the entire Thunder team to attend the premiere of your new movie?"

To this question, Gilbert Jr. replied: “Of course I hope the whole team can come to the premiere, but the finals are still going on.

If the finals are over by then, I will invite them to the premiere of my new movie."

Being able to attend the premiere of Gilbert Jr.'s movie is a great opportunity for these NBA players to get exposure.

Apart from other things, although the value of NBA stars is determined by their on-court performance, their off-court performance can also measure a player's value, and the value determines the quality of a superstar.

Gilbert Jr. also promised that as long as the team wins the championship, the bonus this season will not be reduced.

The team believed it firmly. After all, the team owner is a super rich man. The latest Forbes rich list has him retaining the title of the world's richest man with a fortune of 1037 billion US dollars.

A boss like this can just sprinkle some water on the players and it will be enough for the players to eat for a long time.

Relatively speaking, the investment in basketball is even less. I heard that the boss also has a wealthy club in the Premier League, and he spends a lot of money every year during the transfer period, with an average annual investment of more than 2.5 million euros.

The average rich like to play with cars and watches, and the richer ones like yachts and private jets. But only the top rich will turn highly competitive sports into toys.

In order to make himself happy, he spends money every year that is equivalent to a yacht. Which wealthy person can afford this?
In fact, Gilbert's investment in the sports field is not limited to basketball and football. Riot Games, which was acquired by Fruit Group, is currently preparing for the S3 World Finals.

As a veteran, Gilbert knows the charm of League of Legends. Although there are various flaws, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most successful e-sports competition in the world.

This time, Gilbert did not set up a club. After all, as the owner of Riot, it is not appropriate for him to set up another club. However, Gilbert also sent representatives to communicate with the top management of Riot, striving to create a world-class e-sports event.

To this end, his representatives vetoed Riot Games' decision on the pitifully low prize money for the tournament and raised the base prize money for the S3 World Finals to $1000 million.

At the same time, the income generated by players purchasing merchandise related to the Global Finals will usually be put into the prize pool of the Global Finals as a certain percentage (such as 25% or 50%) of this income.

Gilbert’s representative at Riot said: “The boss said that if we want to create the world’s number one esports event, we can’t be stingy with prize money.

This $1000 million is just the foundation. If the subsequent events develop well, the prize money will continue to increase. "

There is no doubt that the extremely high prize money has stimulated major clubs around the world. As long as they can make it to the global finals, they can get a prize of at least 20 US dollars.

If you win the global finals championship, you will receive a prize of nearly five million US dollars.

Riot Games will also customize championship skins for the championship teams and get a share of the sales of championship skins.

In the wild era of League of Legends e-sports events, Riot Games's huge investment will inevitably stimulate major clubs to prepare for the competition.

Before the era of big capital arrived, tournament prize money was undoubtedly the goal pursued by all major clubs.

The crazy investment in prize money and event scale has also attracted the determination of traditional e-sports clubs to enter the League of Legends event.

Similarly, it also attracted the attention of capital.

With the popularity of League of Legends events, the era of big capital will arrive ahead of schedule, and League of Legends will enter a golden period of development.

Back in the NBA, perhaps it was Gilbert's promise and encouragement that gave the Thunder a boost. After winning the first game, they defeated the Heat in the remaining three games like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves and won the season championship.

凯文·杜兰特以场均27.3分8.5篮板3.2助攻的数据加冕FMVP，斯蒂芬·库里场均砍下21.6分，拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克场均17.3分10.5次助攻2.1抢断。

On the other hand, LeBron James' crab step didn't work, and the referee didn't care. His mid-range jump shot was unstable, and although he still averaged 25.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game, it was useless.

After the game, in major basketball communities, LeBron James' fans tried their best to excuse him and put the blame on Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

Despite the efforts of the latter two, Dwyane Wade averaged 23.2 points per game with a scarred leg, and Chris Bosh also scored a double-double.

After the game, all commentators believed that the core players of both teams performed well, but there was a huge gap at the substitute level.

At the same time, experts also raised concerns that with the end of the rookie benefits, the Thunder will face the issue of contract renewal. Can the core players be retained? How to renew the contract will become the work of the offseason.

However, when Gilbert Jr. spoke after the team won the championship, he promised the fans that he would urge the management team to complete the contract extension as soon as possible in the summer.

Thunder fans were of course ecstatic. Not only did the team win the championship, but it also seemed like they had a chance to establish a dynasty.

Gilbert was also very happy. He had thought about the team winning the championship, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth. This real-life NBA2K dynasty mode gave Gilbert a full sense of accomplishment.

Hollywood celebrities who are under a lot of pressure usually choose various ways to indulge themselves and release stress, but Gilbert's way of playing is also effective in relieving stress.

Of course, most Hollywood celebrities can’t afford to play with a team like this, after all, it requires a lot of investment.

Except for super-rich people like Gilbert Jr., ordinary celebrities are not qualified to treat sports as toys.

After the finals, Gilbert Jr. naturally invited the entire Thunder team to attend the premiere of his new movie. This was not only an event after the team won the championship, but also a promotion for the movie. (End of this chapter)
