Chapter 407 "Ke Jia" "Yao Qianshu" (Please subscribe and support)

The fourth quarter started and players from both sides returned to the court. Spoelstra chose a "compromise" attempt. He put Bosh, Gibson, and Mike Miller on the court to cooperate with Joel Anthony and Weaver.

In this way, first of all, it ensures the strength of the lineup on the field, so that the Knicks' bench lineup will not even suffer a disadvantage, and may even be able to complete the task of chasing points; secondly, it can also buy more rest time for Wade.

But what Spoelstra didn't expect was that Ke Yan also chose to separate the two cores and lead the team separately. He left James and West on the court to support Jeremy Lin, Korver, Mozgov, and Nick.

This lineup on the field is even stronger.

The Heat attacked first, and Bosh pulled out to set up a pick-and-roll for Weaver. Wei batted up West and even made two fake moves, unable to get rid of his opponent. He could only make a hard shot against West, which hit him.

The rear eaves of the basket.

Mozgov blocked Joel Anthony, helped James grab the backboard and immediately launched a fast break counterattack, and cooperated with Jeremy Lin to hit a signature counterattack alley-oop dunk!

In positional battles, Jeremy Lin is below his level, but when it comes to handling the ball during counterattacks, Jeremy Lin is definitely at a first-line level.

The score difference widened to 10 points. Spoelstra shouted a few words to the players on the sidelines, indicating that everyone should not worry about the score difference and play ball by ball. Mike Miller and Bosh reached hand-to-hand coordination.

, after catching the ball, he took a step forward, stopped for a jump shot, and hit it accurately.

As a player named by Wade and Bosh to join the team, Mike Miller's performance after joining the Heat has not been good. Not to mention being injured for many games, as a shooter, his outside shooting percentage so far this season is only 31%.

, it’s really not that impressive. In this game, he made 3 of 8 shots and scored 8 points, which is considered a relatively good performance this season.

The Knicks are attacking, James is holding the Heat's defensive focus on the flanks, Jeremy Lin is holding the ball and playing a pick-and-roll with West, and he uses one step to force past Bosh. Faced with Joel Anthony's nanny pass, Mozgov only needs one tap.

Just jump and dunk the ball into the basket.

After completing the dunk, the Russian roared angrily and high-fived Jeremy Lin on the way back to defense!

Spoelstra was still shouting on the sidelines, reminding Bosh to work harder on the defensive end. The Filipino head coach of the Heat really worked hard on the sidelines and left a deep impression on the fans.

impression, but compared with Keyan, maybe it’s just a level difference, right?

In the eyes of fans, Spoelstra is a pretty good coach under Pat Riley, but he is only good; and what about Ke Yan? Not talking about youth, master, offensive master, etc., just record and winning rate

, the only people in the league today who can compare with him are Phil Jackson and Popovich.

Although Spoelstra is quite durable on the sidelines, the gap in leadership ability between Bosh and James has been evident in the past many seasons, or the two have never been on the same level.

The Knicks' lineup on the field has less second scorer than the Cavaliers last season, but the inside line is obviously stronger, and the overall score is close to a 50-50 split;

The strength of the Heat's transitional lineup, apart from Spoelstra's carefully controlled defensive system, is definitely not as good as last season's Raptors.

Facing the inside combination of West and Mozgov, Bosh struggled on the court. The Dragon King needs his teammates to contain the opponent's defense and give him a comfortable offensive environment. You let him fight inside.

Second, he basically doesn’t have this ability.

The point difference was widened to more than 15 points, and Spoelstra was a little discouraged on the sidelines. How can I put it, he had made enough preparations for this Christmas battle and tried his best, but he still couldn't offset it.

The disparity in strength between the two teams couldn't help but make him have some self-doubt.

As James once again stood on the free throw line, Madison called him "MVP" for the second time. In the past few games, James' performance was not as impressive as Curry's, but in this key game, James regained his reputation.

He proved that he is the boss of the Knicks on the court.

Immediately, the Heat called a timeout, put Wade and Haslem back on the court, and made a last ditch effort with the Knicks!

On the stage of the Christmas game, Ke Yan did not have any confidence, and immediately brought back the main lineup with the intention of directly defeating the Heat.

The two sides played back and forth for three minutes, and the score difference kept fluctuating around 16 points. With the help of the referee's whistle, the Heat barely maintained their dignity and were not taken away by the Knicks, but there was really nothing they could do.

Narrow the gap.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Heat's players' physical fitness began to decline, which was obviously reflected on the defensive end. Curry made three consecutive breakthroughs. As if he was in no one's land, he scored 6 points in two minutes, opening the point difference to 20 in one fell swoop.

points or more, completely killing the game.

With 4 minutes left in the game, the point difference still stayed at 19 points. Seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, Spoelstra had no choice but to replace the main player and admit defeat, and the game entered garbage time.

In the end, the Heat's rotation recovered some points, and the Knicks defeated the Heat 124:111, winning the much-anticipated Christmas Day game.

When the red light came on at the end of the game, colorful ribbons and fireworks fell from the sky above the dome of Madison Square Garden, pushing the atmosphere in the arena to its peak.

All the fans stood up, clapped vigorously, their faces turned red, and they were extremely excited.

The Knicks have had a championship in their history, but they have never played such a dominant season. With 24 wins and 1 loss, the Knicks are now telling the world that we are the king of the league, and anyone who comes is just here to challenge.

us.

By analogy, it is equivalent to Barcelona in the middle of the 2009 season. Although they have not been officially crowned, anyone with a discerning eye can see their unique dominance.

James walked towards Wade, and the "Banana Boat Brothers" hugged each other tightly. Ke Yan chatted with Spoelstra. Both of them are Asians, and both rely on their own abilities in the league.

They have made a breakthrough. Although the Heat lost this game, Spoelstra's coaching skills can still be seen. It can only be said that the Knicks are too scary.

In the whole game, Wade made 16 of 30 shots, 10 of 12 free throws, and scored 44 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists. His performance was not bad; Bosh also scored a double-double of 22 points and 13 rebounds, but still failed.

Method led the team to victory because the Knicks players performed better;

James contributed 36 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, but his greater contribution was on the defensive end. Especially when the Knicks used a double-attack tactic, James was able to put considerable pressure on the ball carrier and rebound in time.

, providing exaggerated coverage; it is no exaggeration to say that the players who can perfectly support Ke Yan's tactics may be peak Garnett and today's James.

Although Curry's performance was mediocre in the first half of the third quarter, he contributed considerable output in the second and fourth quarters, scoring 29 points in the game, which can be regarded as a performance that balances merits and demerits.

After all, you are only in your second year, and you have also experienced a change in your "role" this season. It is impossible to switch directly to the "Kuritian" state without any adjustments, right?

After playing an outstanding performance on a stage that attracted worldwide attention, James was in a good mood. At the post-game press conference, he generously gave credit to his teammates, including Curry, Horford, West, and Korver.

Even Jeremy Lin.

Only between Ke Yan and James, the conflict seems to have never been resolved. There are only the most basic work exchanges between the two. When Ke Yan was asked about James-related questions, he either gave an official answer, or something like

Other meanings of yin and yang.

...

After the Christmas game, Ke Yan took Wang Lifan to a Chinese restaurant in midtown Manhattan for dinner. Here, they met Yao Ming and Ye Li.

Although he has not officially announced his retirement, Yao Ming has actually finished his last NBA game and will wait for the official announcement after the season. He played for the Rockets for 9 years and helped Alexander make countless money. He is called "Yao Money Tree"

, even if he is given two years of salary in vain, it is nothing to Alexander.

Nowadays, Yao Ming’s remaining job is to plan his future. Chinese athletes who can achieve results usually have three paths. The first is to go into politics, represented by Cai Zhenhua; the second is to go into business, represented by Li Ning; and the third is to be a coach.

, this one went to sea.

People like Tian Liang, Bao Chunlai, and Battelle who are involved in the entertainment industry, people like Guo Jingjing who marry directly into wealthy families, and people like Zhang Jike who are engaged in film and television communication are special cases.

Yao Ming's highest subconscious expectation is of course to take the official path. How should I put it? The Chinese people's "official-oriented" idea has been implanted in the minds of the masses for thousands of years. Yao Ming has been willing to sacrifice his own health for a long time in his career.

Playing for the country, especially in 2008, gave up everything to secure the Olympic Games. In addition to "patriotic feelings", it is also a political investment in itself. This path can help Yao Ming and even his family complete the "class leap"

.

As for doing business, Yao Ming has already started operating, and "Team Yao" is responsible for this. So far, Yao Ming has opened an investment company, bought the Sharks, got involved in the catering industry, and purchased a considerable number of properties. Yao Ming's

His wealth ranks second on the China Forbes celebrity list, second only to the "cheating" Ke Yan. In addition to team contracts and endorsement contracts, personal investment is also very important.

However, buying an NBA team is a big deal. Even if his partner is Ke Yan, Yao Ming feels a bit unreasonable. So while slowly releasing assets and increasing cash flow, Yao Ming also wants to hear Ke Yan's detailed plan.

.

"Although it has little to do with you, you will pay more or less attention to the NBA's labor negotiations this season, right?" Ke Yan said after the food was served.

"The differences seem to be huge, but I don't think it will lead to a shutdown, right?"

Yao Ming's thinking is just like what Master Lu described in "Silent China", "Chinese people always like to be harmonious and eclectic. If you say that this room is too dark and a window must be opened here, everyone will definitely not

It’s allowed. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will mediate and open the windows.”

But this is not the case here in the United States. It is about the "sovereignty issue" between labor and capital in the next few years. Both sides must use all their strength to suffocate the other side. This is the principle of "pouring milk into the river and selling it to the poor without reducing the price."

"My current judgment is that the lockout is certain. In the past few years, only one-third of the league's teams have been able to make a profit, plus in the summer of 2010, James, Bosh, Boozer, Stoudemire

If you line up to take root in a big city team, this situation will become even more extreme." Keyan said, "For capitalists, what is the point of unprofitable projects?"

Yao Ming nodded slightly. He is not only a player, but also the boss of the Magic City Sharks. He understands the roots of these operations. However, the business in his eyes is more about human nature and there is no such thing as "a fish or a fish or a fish or a net."

"There is no sign of it.

"If the season is suspended for 11-12, neither the boss nor the players can bear it, and it is not a good thing for anyone; but even if it is suspended for 5 or 10 games, the direct monetary loss will still be calculated in nine figures. This is just economic.

The loss does not include the loss of influence and image." Ke Yan smiled, "What if we make up for it again and make the NBA's influence in China drop significantly?"

When it comes to the elements of the NBA that attract Chinese fans, Yao Ming, Kobe, and Ke Yan are the top three, and then there is an empty slot for others. Yao Ming's departure is a foregone conclusion, what if Ke Yan also leaves the NBA for a short time?

According to statistics, the NBA's revenue in China accounts for about 12% of the total revenue. If Ke Yan and Yao Ming leave the NBA at the same time, this loss will be tantamount to "a leak in the house only to rain all night" for the league. "Shutdown + Chinese market

The double BUFF of "a big drop in income" is enough to give the league a headache, and it will also make it more urgent for Ke Yan and Yao Ming to return with a new attitude and a new identity.

As for setting the acquisition target as the Kings, Ke Yan also integrated various factors such as "culture", "market", "potential" and "competitors".

Sacramento is the city with the highest proportion of Chinese in the United States. It should be easier for Ke Yan and Wang Lifan to get used to living there. As the capital of California, this small city has better security than other cities;

Sacramento is on the edge of the Bay Area, adjacent to San Francisco. Although there is a gap with San Francisco in terms of economy and scale, as long as the results are good enough, it is very easy to attract fans from San Francisco to watch games in Sacramento. At its peak, the Kings had attendance for five consecutive years.

The first in the league has done exactly this.

At the same time, because of its close proximity to San Francisco, many investors have the idea of ​​"moving the Kings to San Francisco." Ke Yan, in turn, "keeps the Kings in Sacramento," which makes it easier to gain support from the local government and residents. This is typical.

Reverse operation. To show his sincerity, Ke Yan could even reach an agreement with the local government to jointly invest in building a new arena for the Kings, completely tying the Kings to Sacramento.

The remaining question is how to reverse the current situation of "poor strength and losing money" of the Kings. The first question is about Ke Yan. His ability to turn decay into magic has been confirmed twice; the latter question is about Yao Ming.

The name "Yao Money Tree" is not in vain.
