NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 181: Christmas War!

"Doesn't this give you face?"

"Hahahaha, the boss is joking."

After playing and having fun, Downey Jr. quickly took out the battle information and showed it to Jiang Chao.

They urgently need Jiang Chao to transform into military advisor mode and yell something like this from behind.

Even though it was Christmas, the team atmosphere was like Halloween after losing to the Rockets in a row, and it was very frustrating.

Everyone doesn't know that Jiang Chao is actually preparing for the team's internal reinforcements behind the scenes. Only when Jiang Chao comes to watch the game will he feel that the boss cares about the team.

"Well, OK, don't be too nervous, it's just a regular season game."

Jiang Chao patted Downey Jr. on the shoulder, which also made the players on the bench relax.

Isn't it the Cleveland Cavaliers? Everyone is not familiar with them.

The president and head coach are both from the Spurs, and their minority shareholder is Chinese. Huang Jianhua was also on hand to watch the game. Before the game, he even said hello to Danny Green, whom they had traded with in cash.

Xiao Mo is an old acquaintance of Yi Jianlian during his time with the Bucks. He is one of the most hated defenders among Chinese fans.

As for Harden and Curry, James has been at the scene many times to watch the NCAA games. James likes Curry very much, but he may never have thought that in the future, this baby-faced killer would become a serial killer.

The super rival that stands in the way of his championship...

Although the two teams have no big hatred, they both have reasons to win.

The Knicks definitely cannot afford another losing streak.

The Cavaliers are second in the Eastern Conference with 12 wins and 2 losses. The Cavaliers lost the previous game against the Celtics and the last game against the Magic.

So Christmas is definitely going to bounce back.

And their lineup has three All-Stars, crushing the Knicks' starters.

Antoine Jamison, Mr. 20,000 points, an All-Star player in the 2008 season, Danny Green’s North Carolina senior, a fast and ruthless all-around swingman, his height of 2.06 meters makes him and the Knicks’ Turk

Drew also has undifferentiated singles ability, so the matchup between the two is also one of the highlights.

LeBron James, the little emperor, the All-Star starting forward, although he has no championship, his scoring ability is already at the level of the first player in active service.

Shaquille O'Neal is the number one center in history. After being traded by the Cavaliers, he wanted to recreate the OK combination and the Lightning Shark combination, win the championship together with the Little Emperor, and use it to fight against the terrifying inside group in the Eastern Conference.

Starting point guard Xiao Mo is the first-generation guard with a knife. He was the Bucks' scoring leader during the Bucks era. In Jiang Chao's view, he now has the same role as Irving next to James, but now LeBron still has

Not as strong as his passing ability later.

There are also stars such as Varejao, Telfair, JJ Hickson and others on the bench. The Cavaliers' lineup looks like a winning combination.

However, Jiang Chao also knew that although the Cavaliers had a good record this year, James and the Czar had no chemistry, so he dared to make a bet with Vin Diesel. If these three All-Stars had a chemistry like GDP, then he would definitely

He doesn't dare to make this bet. Not to mention that season tickets are cheap, so he can't bet on it so casually.

I took another look at the Knicks' data, and fast forwarded to Harden and Curry's. They were all playing. They averaged 10 points per game, and they didn't care about turnovers. Their scoring ability has obviously improved.

Here Jiang Chao watched the players stand up and warm up together under the applause of the young coach. He also stood up and conveyed the news of material rewards:

"Hey, brothers, if you win the game, the top 5 players with plus and minus values ​​will receive 50,000 US dollars, and the other players will receive 10,000 US dollars.

In the evening, I invite you to have a Christmas party at the Rampart Bar, or you can just order the girls who used to order the Cavaliers' favorites.

Want to celebrate Christmas with a carnival? Then win the game!"

At this time, you have to give material rewards and fuck your opponent's favorite girl. The effect is comparable to stimulants.

You must know that in a big city like New York, many team stars show mercy here before and after games or in the off-season. It is spread in night clubs. The most extreme humiliation is that I not only beat you, but also slept with you.

My favorite girl!

Do you want revenge again? It may not be until a month or two later, but our mental nitrogen pump is already on!

And if they win the Christmas game, the coaching staff will also receive a bonus of US$5,000.

Start playing music and start dancing!

Just take it for me and that's it!

If Scarlett knew about it, she would probably laugh like crazy. You have to know that if she really wins, the film and television superstar Vin Diesel has promised to buy Jiang Chao an off-road luxury car with a global limit of 100 units.

Jiang Chao may have suffered a small loss?

Doesn't exist!

Never lose money!

…

Turk Drew:

"Boss Jiang has given the order, let's get some energy!"

Everyone's eyes were as wide as bells.

Especially Ibaka and Harden, they are so awesome!

There's a party after you win!

You can play with women!

She is still the woman that my opponent likes!

They are all James, and the women they like should have the same number. Harden really wants to try, he must defeat them!!

Of course, except for the two lottery picks with high salaries, the other rookies don't have much money and basically have no weekly salary. The attraction of this $50,000 is still very attractive, okay?

Beverly:

"I'll risk my life! Xiao Mo can leave it to me!"

“The boss is mighty!”

“The boss is awesome!”

"Brother Chao, let's see what we do!" Matthews, who has the least money, is eager to give it a try. This little chubby guy can't stop exerting all his energy.

The Knicks players are excited.

Assistant coach Cole joked:

"Why are the coaching staff bonuses so small?"

Jiang Chao:

"You should win ten games in a row first and then talk about it. It's not like you are sweating."

Cole: "Just kidding, just kidding..."

"Pfft..." the coaching staff was stunned, but it is true that they cannot have equal bonuses for the players, so it would be good if they did.

Jiang Chao learned this move from the later Clippers boss Ballmer. This Microsoft boss likes to reward players. As long as he wants to win a game, he will give money to the players to work hard to win!

This kind of money is something that no one else can afford or afford. Only the boss can achieve this effect.

Sometimes it is necessary to provide some material rewards to stimulate, otherwise during the long regular season, some players will always take a nap, and everyone has signed long-term contracts. After losing confidence, they do not get out so quickly, and they always feel that their days are still long.

But this cannot be used often. The reason is very simple. If you pay money for every game, it has become the norm. If you don’t pay money and you don’t play the game carefully, it will change the flavor.

Fortunately, the professionalism of players now is very high, and apart from the financial factor, various reasons can make them come back. There are idols on the opposite side, disputes with exes, provocations from netizens, etc. Back to the essence, everyone loves basketball and no one wants to lose.

!!

Jiang Chao also feels that being a boss is very comfortable. When you want to win, as a boss, you can provide enough money and you don’t need to use your own brain.

The players will work hard to win it back for you!

Then this idea was finally rejected by himself.

At this time, I saw Stephen Curry, whose hair was a little longer and wearing Christmas-colored braces, looked at Jiang Chao with firm eyes:

"Boss, if you don't give me a bonus, I will fight to win the game!"

"Well, come on! By the way, why don't you wear training clothes?" Jiang Chao looked at Curry, who was wearing a white and orange home color jersey, and said in surprise.

"Today's starting lineup has changed, I will start."

"Oh? Sure, you and Harden can coexist."

“It’s always okay, okay!”

In fact, this change of lineup has eliminated Okur, starting Curry, Harden, Turk Drew, and David Lee Ibaka.

It strengthened the offense, but also hid Curry's deficiencies on the defensive end. Okur and Larry Hughes played better on the bench.

This is a plan that defensive coach Clifford argued for. Larry Hughes currently has no three-pointers, but his breakthrough is okay. Then he can simply bring a substitute, and Okur can open up on the outside and let him break through as much as he can.

Curry also needs to join forces with strong offensive players, rather than with players such as Big Q, Gallinari, and Beverley who are slow to handle the ball. He does not have such a strong ability to stand alone. At this stage, Clifford

It seems that it is better to be on the court with at least one ball handler.

Harden and Turk Drew are all players who meet this condition.

Therefore, in the Christmas game, the Knicks boldly changed the starting lineup!

Larry Hughes and Big Q, Gallinelli, the three starters from last year, are on the bench together. There is still some chemistry. Coupled with Okur's sense of space, Danny Green or Beverley's shooting guard rotation, it looks okay.

?

The Cavaliers' starting lineup has not changed. The highlight of this game is Turk Drew vs. James.

The one who has the most hatred is probably LeBron and the Magic. After being eliminated by the Magic 4-2 last year, James hated the Magic. However, he lost to the Magic in the last game. This game will have to match up to last year.

How can you not be excited when an old rival agent of the Blade Knight passes the ball in front of you again and again?

In fact, there is a saying in later generations that James' passing is because he has played with Turk Drew too much and naturally learned the opponent's playing style.

Jiang Chao took a sip of milk tea and watched for a while to warm up. Curry didn't have the guts to shoot in the center circle yet, so it wasn't interesting.

"The game starts in 5 minutes, please pay attention on the spot!"

…

In the center of the first row, a beautiful girl wearing orange socks and a Knicks jersey showing off her long legs bent over and lowered her head as she approached the Knicks coaching staff in a friendly manner:

"Hello, little sister, can you change seats?"

"Okay Taylor!"

"no problem."

While Jiang Chao was drinking milk tea and chatting with Downey Jr., Taylor Swift over there changed positions and came closer to Jiang Chao after seeing Jiang Chao's position.

Just kidding, she is crazy about catching this peerless male god, okay? Asian men are the most mysterious to her. She has talked about him so many times. This is the first time she meets a real person, so she has to sit next to him.

In the 13th row, there was also a tall bald man wearing a hat and tattoos on his arms. He asked the fans in a low voice to exchange tickets for the front row with him. He wanted to change to the row behind Jiang Chao:

"I have something important to tell Boss Jiang Chao, can you help me?"

"Marbury, you have been despised by us, please stop trying to trick our youth team, okay?"

"Yes, we are all playing youth games. You unemployed vagrant, just watch the game and don't ruin our mood."

"Stay away from my kid, okay? You're a drug addict."

Marbury held up his hat sheepishly, returned to his original position under the eyes of the security guard and the two female bodyguards who seemed to be looking at him at all times, and sighed softly.

…

Celestial dynasty.

Liu Tianxian, who returned to China to recuperate, was reading the script sample of "A Chinese Ghost Story" while watching Jiang Chao's handsome face appear on TV.

Then I happened to see the entire crew of "Sword and Sword 3" thanking Jiang Chao in the entertainment newspaper!

I don’t know if it’s because of Jiang Chao that the reviews of “Sword and Fairy 3” have suddenly improved. After all, Brother Hu is still here, and as long as he is here, the flavor of “Sword and Fairy 3” will remain.

The fairy sister pressed her fingers on her forehead. At this time, she actually envied Yang Mi and the others, and even regretted that she could not appear in "Sword and Sword 3". Otherwise, would she have been able to meet this all-powerful boss with extraordinary temperament?

??

You must know that she gave up "Sword of Sword 3" for a supporting role in "The King of Kung Fu", but although "The King of Kung Fu" was popular, it did not receive a good response at the box office, and as a supporting role, she actually did not improve much, and the popularity of the entire network was basically the same.

It was Brother Long and Brother Lian who were fighting, and she was a dispensable character...

This made her bite her lip lightly. She was even more envious when her agent said that Jiang Chao personally coached some of Yang Mi and Liu Shishi's actions, and often wrote several scripts for Chaoshen Entertainment himself.

"Hey, let's watch the football game first."

The bored Liu Yifei put down a lousy script like "A Chinese Ghost Story" just to show off her and Goo Jai's looks... Basking in the warm winter sun, watching basketball that she was not familiar with, she was looking forward to Jiang Chao's surprising glimpse.

…

In Orlando, a certain behemoth didn’t have a game on Christmas Day and turned on the TV...

Many team stars also turned on the TV...

…

As the narrator shouted "Merry Christmas!"

Santa Claus crosses the screen and the game begins!!

"Come on Knicks!"

"Cleveland will not perish!"

"Walk up Knicks!"

The sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami sounded at the scene, which made me feel guilty!

The smiling O'Neal was obviously taller than Ibaka, but he completely ignored Ibaka's bounce speed and gave the ball to Curry behind him before he could react.

When Curry gets the ball, he habitually takes the braces with his hands and then puts them on...

"Eh, it's so dirty..." The two cute girls next to Scarlett looked at her and leaned back tactically.

Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt with a low hand. He was completely unfazed when facing Xiao Mo and called out the No. 3 tactic first.

In a pick-and-roll without the ball, Ibaka used his movement speed to pull the fat and slow Shark out of the paint, blocking James and giving Turk Drew space to catch the ball.

Curry changed direction and moved to the agent in the bottom corner. Turk Drew caught the ball and sent the mighty James flying directly.

Then the Turkish agent steadily stopped outside the paint area and made a clean and quick jump shot!

"Star and Moon God of War! Steady!"

"Just like last year's Eastern Conference Finals, beating James is like beating your son!"

"Let me wipe it, the one upstairs, Zhan Hei is not that dark!"

"Do you believe that James can beat the agents to death on the offensive end??? The Knicks don't have insiders like Warcraft to wipe the agents' butts!"

"Fart!! Ibaka is not a coward, okay?"

"Height and weight are here, brother. I think the key to this game is O'Neal!"

"I think it depends on James! There is no real risk that the Knicks can guard James!"

"The Knicks take the lead, let's see how the Cavaliers respond!"

Yang Ma explained that Yu Jia’s familiar voice came.

The young coach was standing on the sidelines from the beginning...it was obvious how much he valued this game.

Jiang Chao stood up and applauded after scoring the first goal, which shows how much he cares about this game.

After all, New Year’s Day is coming soon, and Chinese people pay attention to giving a good start to the new year!
