I am Really an Insider

Chapter 604 601: Sam Hinkie’s philosophy of success, Wei Ge did it too fast (5.3K votes requested)

He had a face-to-face confrontation with James, a close conflict with Wade, a long three-pointer with bare feet, 40+10 points in a single game with a low fever, and the largest point difference record in the history of the NBA Finals.

Stern never expected that a small finals game, G2, would generate so many topics at the same time.

Otherwise, how about saying that Wayne is the number one active player?

This is not just a matter of being handsome and good at work. Wayne's ability to create topics is also second to none in the league.

Wayne's perfect performance in G2 of the finals is bound to make the next war in Miami extremely fierce.

The ratings are stable!

Moreover, no matter who wins the championship in the end, it will be beneficial to the league.

If Wayne wins the championship, his Trail Blazers will become the first team to win consecutive championships after the Lakers, who won three consecutive championships.

And if the Heat win the championship, the league will undoubtedly open a new chapter.

You see, whoever wins the championship will be a hot topic!

Therefore, even Stern is looking forward to the next three games.

I really don’t know how the game will turn out. The Heat’s three consecutive home games will definitely not allow the Trail Blazers to easily break through.

It would be best if this game could reach a tiebreaker~

Even if there is no tiebreaker, we still have to play six games no matter what, right?

Wayne and the Blazers are good at everything, but every time they play in the finals, they win too easily.

This money is just not enough to satisfy you!

This time, the game is basically stable after six games, and the probability of a tiebreaker is also very high.

After all, it is impossible for one of the Heat and Trail Blazers teams to lose three games in a row, right?

Thinking of this, Stern felt happy.

Well, I guess Stern forgot the slogan of this league - Miracles happen here.

In the NBA, nothing is absolutely impossible.

Basketball fans around the world are discussing the Heat and Trail Blazers Finals, but for those stars who have been eliminated, they are now thinking about next season.

The logo man is sitting in his office, looking at the scenery outside the window.

In his original vision, the Warriors would now have at least one championship trophy.

Well, in three years, they turned a non-existent Western Conference team into a Western Conference Finals-level team. This achievement is actually quite remarkable.

In three years, they reached the Western Conference Finals twice and came within one step of the Finals twice.

This already speaks volumes about the strength of the Warriors.

However, just six games with the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals is not enough for him.

After all, he is Jerry West, and what he desires is to become the godfather of a generation of championships, not three years after another, and three years after another.

Maybe it's because of lack of strength, maybe it's because of bad luck.

But in Big Logo's view, the Warriors have actually not had no chance in recent years.

The first year that Paul and Howard teamed up was when the Trail Blazers were in decline.

But at that time, the Lakers were at their peak.

In the Western Conference finals, Yao Ming completely restrained Howard, and Love was still immature. The entire team could only rely on Paul to support them, and eventually lost.

If the Warriors had not met the Lakers, if Yao Ming had not been there, would the Warriors still have lost?

Last season, both Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant began to show their age, and the Warriors had a chance to make a comeback.

But who would have thought that the Dallas Mavericks, whose presence has never been high, would burst out with such terrifying combat power, directly giving the Warriors a first-round tourney.

The Mavericks are very weak, and they are indeed one of the three major illusions in the Western Conference.

This season, after finally defeating the Lakers and Mavericks, the Warriors got through and defeated the resurgent Spurs.

However, the Portland Trail Blazers are on their way to reaching the top again.

Thinking of his experiences in the past three years, Logo Man just wanted to say: "What a sin!"

It always feels like the whole world is targeting this logo.

The Warriors are very unlucky, but facts have also proven that the foundation of Paul + Howard + Love is very good.

Touching the floor of the Western Conference Finals twice in three years is proof. If we put this in the original history, Pao'er would laugh out of his dreams.

However, people's desires are always endless. Even though the hard drive is filled with seeds, they are still looking for seeds everywhere.

Obviously I have been to the Western Conference Finals twice, but I am thinking about the championship again.

Logo Man’s goal remains the same, the championship!

If you want to win a championship, the best way is to stabilize the current lineup.

Today, he was in the office talking to Howard about renewing his contract in advance.

Next season is Howard's contract year. Although the contract still has one year left, Big Logo is still very worried.

If this fails again next season, Howard will enter the free agent market in anger, and the Warriors will not be able to make any money.

The best way is to renew the contract in advance and turn the raw rice into cooked rice.

At this time, Howard knocked on the door of Logo Man's office.

When Beast walked in, he didn't have his trademark sunny smile on his face. He frowned, his expression serious.

Big Logo was quite enthusiastic and hugged Howard. Then the two exchanged a few words and asked him whether the soul saving work was going well and what difficulties he had encountered.

But in the end, it was Howard who cut to the chase: "Let's talk business, Jerry."

"Okay, I still have the same attitude as before. Let's renew the contract in advance. The maximum salary is no problem."

"No, we have other things to confirm before we talk about this.

First of all, Chris Paul and I, who are we at the core? "

It can be seen that Master Huo came prepared today, and when he opened his mouth, he asked a series of deadly questions.

"Every tree and plant in Auckland belongs to Paul, but in the end it belongs to you, after all, you are still so young."

"I need an accurate answer, Jerry, and I've had enough of holding back. Have we gained anything by holding on for so long?

Nothing at all! "

Howard roared angrily. At this moment, he truly looked like a ferocious monster.

Big Logo had long expected that such a situation would occur. Howard is no longer the obedient child he once coaxed.

"Listen, you can only do this if you cooperate"

"Okay, I get it, Jerry." Howard interrupted the Logo Man rudely, and then he looked at the scenery of Auckland outside the window and said firmly.

"I applied for a trade. Even if you don't trade me, I will not renew my contract with the team next summer."

The league's No. 1 center, one of the few players in the league who can limit Wayne one-on-one, a man who can only replace James.

Are you just going to be Chris Paul's second-in-command?

What a joke!

Howard firmly believes that he can succeed even if he doesn't have to swallow his anger and rely on Paul.

Although the incident happened suddenly, the big logo is still a big logo.

He was still unhurried. In fact, he had already made preparations.

It would be best if Howard could be persuaded to renew his contract.

If not, then the choice is between Howard and Paul.

The Logo Man had the answer before, and he chose Paul.

Although Howard has more powerful physical fitness, he can be called a bug on the defensive end.

But Paul is more suitable to be a leader. He is the kind of player who can turn his teammates who are 70 or 80 points into 100 points.

Although there has been no example in modern NBA history of winning a championship with a point guard as the core, someone as strong as Nash can only improve his performance in the regular season.

But Big Logo knows that someone will always take this step.

In that case, why can't it be Pao'er?

Therefore, West also has plans for trading Howard.

He will not panic in any situation.

The introduction is called pattern!

"Are you sure? Do you really think that if you go elsewhere, you can be closer to the championship than here?"

"I'm sure, Jerry. Thank you, I've grown a lot in these three years in Oakland."

A few hours later, Lakers general manager Kupchak learned that negotiations between Howard and the Warriors had broken down.

Don't ask him how he knew it, because the whole world knew it.

Well, Howard's agent is Fei Gen.

This person likes to do these tricks and expose the conversations between the two parties. On the one hand, he puts pressure on the Warriors.

On the other hand, just like those who post "I broke up" in the circle of friends, it is equivalent to telling everyone "I am single, come and chase me quickly!"

In fact, "If there is no trade, I will not renew my contract next summer" was what Fagan taught Howard.

What bad thoughts can a beast have? He just listened to his agent.

According to NBA rules and regulations, this is expressly prohibited.

So Stern was also very dissatisfied with what Fagan did.

In short, with Fagan's actions, the entire league has entered an arms race stage again, and everyone is seeking to trade Howard.

The Lakers are the most positive team among them.

They need to rebuild a lineup with the first SG + first C, and seize the tail of Nacha's peak!

But the problem now is that the Lakers don't have the right chips.

If you want to reach a deal, you must lure one or two more teams into the trap and make a multi-party deal.

At the same time, the 76ers officially announced that they will appoint Vice President of Basketball Operations Tony DiLeo, who has been with the 76ers management for 22 years, as the new general manager of the team.

This also means that the 76ers' strategy will undergo major changes.

On the surface, DiLeo became the general manager, but in fact he was just a puppet general manager.

His task is to help new deputy general manager Sam Hinkie make a smooth transition.

In a year or two, DiLeo will return to his position as president of basketball operations.

To put it bluntly, Dirio has no say in the next plan of this team, Sam Hinkie has the final say.

And Sam Hinkie was able to impress the 76ers management with just one sentence: "Trust the process!"

Now, the 76ers are in a frenzy on the edge of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Either they don't go in, or they go in and then come out, which makes people itchy.

This team needs historical superstars, otherwise it is destined to be mediocre.

And the best way to get historical superstars is to draft!

Moreover, it cannot be just one draft. What the 76ers need is a large number of high-ranking draft picks that last for several years.

Unlike the traditional show-off, Hinkie's goals are very ambitious and clear.

Because he knows very well that even if it is a high-ranking draft pick, the possibility of selecting a parallel import is not small.

You can't always imagine that there will be players of the level of James, Durant and Wayne among the rookies every year.

There is no guarantee that when they appear, there will be enough possibility to have such a high draft pick.

So Hinkie's strategy is to increase the number of experiments.

If we fail to choose once, we will choose twice. If we fail to choose twice, we will choose three times. If we fail three times, we will continue to mess up.

With a mountain of draft picks, it would be best to turn the draft into a 76ers roll call.

In this way, the probability of selecting cornerstone players will undoubtedly be greatly increased.

Thunder management calls out the experts.

Hinkie knew what he was doing would cause an uproar because it went against the very purpose of competitive sports.

Instead of trying to win, he tries to lose. Once he loses, he is prepared to lose for several years.

He knew Philly fans would chew him out because they couldn't explain to their children why his favorite team was proud to lose.

But Hinkie is mentally prepared. If he wants to succeed, these prices must be paid.

I believe the first step in the process is to get rid of the current star of the 76ers - Andre Iguodala.

It's just that Iguodala's big contract is indeed difficult to directly exchange for draft picks.

The Lakers, 76ers and Warriors, they all have urgent needs.

A huge summer storm is slowly forming.

Although the news that the beast refused to renew his contract with the Warriors in advance is very exciting, during the finals, the popularity is limited after all.

After all, everyone's attention is on the finals at this time.

The grudges between Wayne and the class of 2003, and the superstar showdown between Finson and Mousse are the ones that are attracting the most attention right now.

After two days of rest, the series G3 finally started in Miami.

Before the game started, a sideline reporter interviewed Bosh and asked him how he would maintain the home court advantage in these three games in Miami.

After hearing this question, Bosh touched his face exaggeratedly and then looked at the reporter.

"We will not lose face at home!"

This funny expression coupled with this answer that didn't answer the question made the reporter conclude that Apo had been beaten into a trance!

At the end of the last game, when Bosh and Haslem high-fived, their mental state was already abnormal.

It seems today that the wave giant is already terminally ill.

There is no way, the pressure on the Heat's Big Three is indeed great.

Although I returned to the home court, I still felt unsure.

Although Wade seemed to be very passionate when he spoke at the press conference, he knew the difficulty of these three games better than anyone else.

As for the Trail Blazers, everyone is determined to win consecutive games in Miami.

I don’t want any women, money, or food in Miami.

Only the championship!

Before the start of today's game, in order to boost morale, Lao Zhan also habitually performed the appearance ceremony of sprinkling magnesium powder.

At that time, the primary school students were just getting ready to play. It was the first time for the primary school students to see mousse dusted with magnesium powder up close. The primary school students were very curious.

So, when James was performing a series of actions, the primary school students were watching the whole process, and they leaned down and looked up: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Well, it’s a little cool.”

While James was spreading the news, the primary school student sighed beside him.

After spreading the mousse, he looked at the Sabi primary school student beside him, speechless.

I really don’t know if this guy is mocking or really admiring me.

anyway

Why is it so difficult to play against a team full of idiots?

Is it possible that we are even fools?

Pooh!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Wayne looked at Curry's funny look and couldn't help but cover his face.

Come back quickly, you will embarrass me if you hold it in!

After Curry watched James spread the powder, he jumped back and came to Wei Ge's side.

"Dad Wei."

"My son, it doesn't matter if you say it."

"I think we should also make a similar appearance."

"Oh? Any suggestions?"

"James sprinkles magnesium powder, look, how about you sprinkle it on me? Pick me up, throw me up and catch me, it will be really cool!"

Wayne looked at Curry who was full of expectations, held his head with one hand, and turned Curry to the other side with force.

Then, he said "gently": "Get back to your position quickly! If you act stupid again, it will be over if I can't shave you!"

Wayne is really angry. A crucial battle is coming. Can you be more serious?

Still throwing you away, is it possible for me, Gao Dewei, to do such a ridiculous move?

Even if I, Wayne, show up to dance or do push-ups, I won’t abandon you!

Your suggestion is really mind-blowing.

Although Curry showed off his IQ before the game, his performance in today's game was outstanding.

From beyond the three-point line, Curry made 6 of 10 shots and scored 24 points!

In the second half, even in the face of Wade's personal defense, Curry's offensive momentum did not stop.

However, it was not Curry or Wayne who performed best today.

But Gasol, who has been pretending to be dead for a long time!

My sister-in-law made 10 of 14 shots today, with an exaggerated hit rate of 71.4%, beating the dazed Apo.

Even Wayne was surprised by the old sister-in-law's performance.

He felt really good today. He turned into an old man with hooks. He made every hook from the basket and made the Dragon King dizzy.

So much so that Wayne acted as a tool in the second half, specifically responsible for opening up space for his sister-in-law.

Gasol basically has a steady explosion in every round. Just when you think he is about to disappear, he will tell you with a shocking performance: "No matter the wind or rain, my sister-in-law will always be with you." .”

Curry scored 24 points and his sister-in-law scored 26 points. The two of them had already scored 50 points together.

Under such circumstances, Wayne only scored 24 points lightly.

But at the same time, he also sent out 10 assists and 12 rebounds, recording a triple-double.

On the Heat's side, Junzi Lei scored 21 points on 4-for-4 shooting from beyond the three-point line, allowing the Heat to keep the score tight.

James also scored 25 points today and made 2 of 4 three-pointers.

Mousse finally recovered, but

Wade pulled it today!

Under Teacher Tony's entanglement, Wade's knees were not feeling well today, so he had an extremely difficult time.

He made only 7 of 19 shots from the field, shooting 36.8% from the field, and scored 19 points.

Although the rollover was not as complete as in the previous game, it still could not help the team get out of the predicament.

109 to 100, with Wei Kusao and all three in excellent condition, the Trail Blazers won the third game with a 9-point advantage!

To be honest, if it weren't for Junzi Lei's three-point accuracy today, the point difference would never have been only single digits.

So in the fourth game, when the gentleman's magic was gone, the Heat lost two games in a row, 88-92!

The score of this game was very close, because Curry and Sister-in-law were no longer so magical, and the performance of the Heat's Big Three also tended to be stable.

The physical defense of the two teams made the shooting percentages of both sides very poor.

The game has been very anxious, and until the last moment, the Trail Blazers only led the Heat by 1 point.

This may be the most intense game in the finals so far.

Unfortunately, James hit a crucial three-pointer at the last moment, and Wayne quickly counterattacked after grabbing the rebound, attracting double-teams and breaking through to score, assisting Green and hitting a three-pointer to seal his throat.

Danny Green and Stephenson, this pair of young players in the Development League, became famous in this year's finals.

A role player can hit key goals when he stands up. This is this year's Portland Trail Blazers.

When the Trail Blazers defeated two consecutive games in Miami, the entire American Airlines Center was silent.

3-1, the Trail Blazers took the lead in getting the match point at the Heat's home court!

Boss Si looked at the Blazers players celebrating wildly on the court and swallowed.

Brother Wei, please slow down, Yamedie~
