NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 259: Thunderous! Who can reach the finals!

"Believe in his size, our lot must be drawn by ourselves."

"Let's do this. Make a call and talk to him."

D'Antoni, who was in charge of the draft, had a small episode with the Pacers.

That is because Jiang Chao originally wanted his lovely little sister Yang Chaoyue to go to the draft lottery, which was the Knicks who drafted the Pacers.

But he didn't expect Bird to compete for this. He felt that he was invincible and rejected the Knicks' proposal.

Then Jiang Chao also had an idea, saying let's make an exchange. You can do the lottery and coin toss for the Knicks.

Because the Knicks' record is the same as that of several teams in the Western Conference, and the teams have the same regular season record, their final order will be determined by tossing a coin.

"Brother Bird, didn't you say that you have invincible luck? Then you can control the luck of our Knicks signing."

"You don't have any chance of winning the lottery, you're just playing with it!"

Bird actually had a dream that the Knicks would be selected in the lottery, but how could the league allow the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference to win the lottery? The probability is only 0.9%.

But there is a 15% chance of getting the first 15 draws, which is something that Big Bird can play with.

Brother Bird didn't agree with it at first. After all, he had worked so hard to get it right, and he had an 11.5% chance of getting into the top 3 and a 2.3% chance of getting the No. 1 pick.

As a gambling maniac, he naturally wanted to have a good time.

But Jiang Chao is also a card master, and he will definitely play a koi card this time.

So he directly said to Big Bird, I will send a little girl who has just entered junior high school. You won't fight with a junior high school student, right?

"Forget it, just send someone to draw. Just don't get the 15th pick. Then I'll be ruined for nothing."

"Don't worry, you and I both won the first round of swap rights bets. Will you lose this one?"

"What do you want to say???" Big Bird squeezed the phone tightly and wouldn't let Knicks do it again.

"Haha, I was wrong, Brother Bird. See you in the draw. You will like my little sister."

…

The next day.

The early registration period for the 2010 NBA draft has closed. A total of 70 non-Graduating NCAA players and domestic players over the age of 18 from the United States and 16 international rookies under the age of 22 have registered for the draft.

There is another person who ran for office right out of high school, and that is Kyle Anderson.

…

Two days later, the first team to be eliminated in the second round of the playoffs was born.

That was the Heat who were beaten 4-1.

As the Cavaliers defeated the Heat 110:89 at home, the Heat became the first team to be eliminated in the second round.

Since ancient times, winners and losers, the Heat also "enjoyed" the treatment of losers at this time, and were sprayed bloody by their own fans.

At the very least, they were the 2006 championship team. Although they were eliminated in the first round last year, they lost to the Eagles 3-4. But this year, they have no power to fight back in the second round.

The average loss per game is 11.3 points. This is the gap in physical strength.

Some people even say that that game was due to James's worldliness, and if he played with all his strength, he would be able to recover.

So it looks like 4:1, but it’s actually 4:0?

But it shows more that the Knicks...a la carte??

The most outrageous thing is this. I don’t know if it is run by Riley and the others. This fire has actually been burned on the Knicks who have “faded out”.

Including Heat fans, all their anger was directed at the Knicks. It was all your fault that the Heat did not feel the intensity. Once the intensity of the Cavaliers increased, the Heat did not adapt.

There are people saying that they are the fourth worst team in the Eastern Conference in history.

"Wtf? Why is everything about us negative?"

"Does it have anything to do with us?"

Sean Marks has lost his temper. At this point, no one came forward to help the Knicks. It was all Knicks players who responded on social media.

Whose regular season rankings are not determined game by game??

From what fans say, it seems like the Knicks picked up fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

But to be honest, no basketball fan is as enthusiastic as any other fan.

Jiang Chao's loyal fans started to show their strength at this time.

Yui Aragaki, who was waiting for Jiang Chao’s neon line in neon, posted on Twitter:

"What does the Heat's elimination have to do with the Knicks? Don't ignore their regular season flashes, they are all shining!"

Sweet sister Lin Zhiling:

"Where are the Knicks fans? I can't bear to argue with this wave of obvious transfer conflicts. If you can't, let the Knicks come up and beat the Cavaliers. At least they won't be as cowardly as the Heat!"

It's okay to directly offend the Heat for Jiang Chao this time, but it doesn't matter, the fans are not so concerned about it, and beauty can withstand everything.

And Asa was even more ruthless, directly sending a video call in her slow Mandarin:

"Don't be affected, work hard and fight again next year!"

Only real fans and personal fans would support like this, and some fake fans would follow suit. After all, if you think about it, the Heat were sold out one more game 4-1, while the Knicks played the Heat in a tiebreaker.

Doesn’t it mean that the gold content of this tiebreaker is indeed not very high, and the Knicks are indeed fourth in the Eastern Conference and are not worthy of it. It is a game set by a bunch of strong teams for them.

Jiang Chao, on the other hand, didn't pay much attention to the Heat news. He was paying attention to the Tianwangshan battle between Kaizi and the Magic. When he was going out, he saw a beautiful woman rushing over with a camera.

It was the South Korean beauty anchor Zhang Yiyuan. According to the bodyguards, they had been squatting at the door for a day and a night.

Her face was dripping with sweat. Even after being restrained by two bodyguards, she still wanted to rush forward to interview Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao didn't pay attention at first until he saw her face.

Good guy, isn’t this the internet celebrity female commentator?

During the Imperial Capital Olympics the year before last, several gifs of watching football went viral all over the Internet. It was this beautiful reporter from South Korea, so Jiang Chao also signaled to Lin Ziyu to let her go.

Zhang Yiyuan came forward in surprise and apologized to Jiang Chao for disturbing the famous Asian boss during the off-season. Then she also asked questions about the Heat.

"What do you think of the criticism from fans on the Internet?"

Jiang Chao was not surprised when he heard that the Heat lost. James was afraid of defending the inside. The Heat did not have a strong defensive inside, so they naturally played casually.

So he smiled and said:

"What do you think? Did the Heat players say anything about us?"

"It seems not."

"That's okay. Netizens are just making assumptions. I have my own way of punishing them."

Jiang Chao didn't say much. Internet violence happens at any time, just get used to it.

The Knicks will remember these grudges!

All of you are waiting, and you will pay them back in full next year.

He has already informed Zhang Xiaolong to ask the operations department to record the posts and IDs of the most scolding posts. The liquidation will not be urgent for a while. When the time comes, they will queue up on the Knicks official website to flog all the fans.

Zhang Yiyuan was quite surprised by Jiang Chao's neither humbleness nor arrogance. If this was a man from their country, he would have broken his guard long ago, so his good-looking face was full of admiration.

After Jiang Chao left, he suddenly put his hands in his trouser pockets and turned around and said:

"By the way, Zhang Yiyuanxi, if your commentary contract expires, you can sign with us. We welcome talents like you."

"ah?"

Faced with Boss Jiang's sudden recruitment, Reporter Zhang flushed red and embarrassedly smoothed his wind-blown hair...

"Nothing, Lin Ziyu, just remember her contact information. We will need our own explanation in the future."

"good!"

Lin Ziyu and Ishida Mome looked at each other. They just felt that the boss's vision was really invincible, and a reporter with such a casual glance was so elegant.

There are many Asian reporters who come to New York, including many female reporters, but the appearance of the South Korean reporter in front of me is really a bit high. He looks like an entertainer but is particularly approachable during interviews.

She is cute and can talk, no wonder the boss is willing to stay for her.

…

Jiang Chao actually guessed it right.

Heat players, whether after the game or on social media.

I really didn't say much about the Knicks. They felt so tired and finally relaxed after being eliminated in the second round.

The real situation is that after playing against the Knicks, I played against the Cavaliers on the third day. My body never recovered and the load was too heavy.

Playing against the Knicks is a bit hurtful. Beverley chewed up Wade for five games. Wade's physical fitness is no longer the same. Playing against a team like the Cavaliers, the Heat has no one else to stand up and good brother James is a one-man defense example.

Wei is done.

So they can't do things like dumping the Knicks, and wouldn't dumping them prove their talent?

But it's not okay for them to say that the Knicks are too clingy. In the first round, they let go of too many harsh words about looking down on the Knicks, and now they are saying that the Knicks are so awesome that they can't open their mouths.

After Jiang Chao's interview was released, there were still people studying the mental processes of the Heat players.

In fact, the Heat should make the Knicks as strong as possible, so that they can have some room for their disastrous defeat in the second round.

…

However, the Heat's tragic defeat was soon forgotten like a passing cloud.

Because this year’s playoffs are so exciting.

Another loser appears.

And they are still the favorites to win the championship.

There is another team in the Eastern Conference that enters the Eastern Conference Finals, and it turns out that it is not last year’s runner-up Magic, but the Celtics!!!

Kaizi and the knight join forces.

After strengthening Carter, Warcraft actually lost to the Celtics 2-4!

After the game, Happy Beast was really unhappy, his eyes were dull.

Because we lost this game by 12 points, it was a bit too easy.

This also officially declares the Magic's management to be a big failure. Fans and players are missing the agents.

"Which one, Turkoglu in 09 or Carter in 10, is suitable for the Magic?"

"Replacing Turkoglu with Carter is not an upgrade. Turkoglu's organizational skills can largely make up for Nelson's shortcomings."

"Warcraft is restricted. If the Magic lose the first two games at home, there is no hope. In one game, Warcraft only had a stat of 77, and it temporarily asked Da Meng to learn the steps. The Green Army's regional defense was too strong."

"What will happen to the Magic next year? It has to be disbanded."

"Would you like to keep Warcraft? You can swap it with James."

"If I were the Magic management, I would think the same thing. The only player in the league who can replace Howard alone is James, whose contract has also expired. The opposite is also true. If the Cavaliers fail to win the championship again this year, they should try."

"Hahahaha, without Turkoglu, but with more kg returning from injury, it is important not to be in full condition!"

Yang Yi made a statement on the Super God Forum:

"The 09 magic points will hit you wherever you go, and the 10 magic tricks will hit you wherever you go. The World of Warcraft is sometimes real double-teamed and sometimes fake double-teamed, making it impossible to defeat it at all."

Now that the Super God Forum section is full of real fans, Magic Rice immediately replied:

"In the World of Warcraft series, I scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 56% shooting, which is pretty good."

Yang Yi: "But the problem is that others have been strangled, and Lewis has been a disaster in this series."

Howard declined all interviews after the game, including interviews with Orlando's own media.

The second seed in the Eastern Conference has really fallen into Kaizi's trap.

And Carter's lonely eyes at the end proved everything. Among the four shooting guards, he also wanted to play against Kobe in the finals!

Both Turk Drew and Clifford cared about their old club and teammates on social media. I really didn’t expect the situation to get worse year by year.

Netizens also guessed the agent's inner thoughts: It's a good thing he didn't stay in the Magic... Otherwise, there would have been no hope. At least there is hope and room for improvement in the Knicks.

People are like this. It is impossible to be content with the status quo and either progress or regress. This feeling of leading the Knicks to take a big step forward is much more comfortable than staying with the Magic and falling from the Finals to the second round.

…

Western Conference Semifinals.

The game would be better.

There are too many strong teams in the Western Conference. The Thunder and Suns also battled to 4-2.

In the end, youth triumphed over experience, and the running and gunning team could not outrun Westbrook, Chandler, and Durant's impact team.

Coupled with Harrington's stable performance and Xiaotuo's rampage on the bench, this Thunder team is so fierce that they win games in a wave in the fourth quarter.

Just strong physical strength!

"Is the thunder so powerful?"

Jiang Chao felt a little regretful. Was he trying to cultivate his opponent's rhythm?

This made Old Downey Jr. and Jiang Chao here not expect that the Suns were a strong team that fought the Lakers to the end in their previous lives this year.

This year, both the team's integration and the personal status of the main players are very mature. There are as many as 8 players in the team averaging more than 8 points per game, not including Dragic who averages 7.9 points per game. The overall score is three points.

The shooting rate was as high as 41.2%, which also set a new record in team history.

However, the series with the Thunder also exposed their shortcomings in later generations, including insufficient resilience. In the previous 2-2 situation, Tianwangshan was sluggish and lost after Westbrook scored 10 points in the fourth quarter.

Later Jiang Chao was deeply impressed by Artest's tip-in, which was a saving goal for the Lakers, but for the Suns, it was a heavy blow to military morale and morale.

This also led to the Suns' defeat in Game 6. In that game, Kobe scored 37 points and 6 rebounds, completely unstoppable.

The Thunder, which was only established in 2008, reached the Western Conference Finals in their third year!!!

motherfxck!!

Now everyone is praising how exaggerated the Thunder's youth storm is, as well as President Pu's incredible operations in the past two years.

Jiang Chao looked at the data

KD with a 35% shooting rate, Gibson with a 38% shooting rate and Westbrook with a 47% shooting rate. Looking at it now, I can’t even imagine it.

The Knicks are indeed nurturing a tiger. The Knicks sent Harrington, Nate, Chandler, and Gibson, who was recommended for the general election, all averaged more than 7 points per game. They sent four starting-level players.

rhythm?

Thunder fans thanked the Knicks in all kinds of sarcastic ways, which made Knicks fans a little bit sour.

But Jiang Chao felt that was all, the original lineup was only scary when given to the Thunder.

Judging from the trend of modern basketball, Westbrook, Harden and Durant's brother-in-law have 28 cards. This starting lineup is really unimaginable.

In 2012, Durant was second in MVP, Westbrook was second in the second team, Ibaka was second in DPOY, and Harden was the best sixth man. All five players on this lineup have renewed their contracts. Is it okay to play together for ten years?

Unlike the current Thunder, Harrington is 31 years old, Chandler is much worse than Harden, Gibson is a weakened version of Ibaka, needless to say Nate, there is only one Iverson, he can only be a

Reckless man.

This is the rhythm for KD to face off against Kobe!

Jiang Chao has been watching the TV lately.

Isn’t this much better than the 23vs24 fans are looking forward to?

Master Wei rushed to Kobe, I get excited just thinking about it!

Thunder!

…

Over there, the Lakers and Nuggets played a little more anxiously, although the score was 4:2 and the Lakers won.

But the showdown between Melo and Kobe was so exciting.

The two teams had an offensive battle, with scores exceeding 100 points in every game, and the confrontation between Melo and Artest was so passionate.

Compared with the Lakers, the only weakness of the Nuggets may be that they are not strong inside, but they are very good on the outside.

Anthony Chauncey Billups Jr. Smith, three stars with gorgeous playing styles, played together. In the end, they lost in the paint. Although they were all spring players, they were too short.

Jiang Chao was very happy to see it and also explained to the girls the reason why the Nuggets lost: "Nuggets head coach George Karl is too obsessed with short big men, Nene, Kenyon Martin, in front of Gasol's long arms.

It’s useless.”

The fact is that the Lakers won by 4.5 points per game in the paint. Kobe and the Nuggets did not take advantage of the outside competition.

This round of the series has also become the most intense game with the closest average point difference so far.

Jiang Supernatural would not congratulate the Lakers for entering the Western Conference Finals.

He expressed regret for Jr Smith and Melo.

Of course, Melo is just showing off to the management of other teams. After the Nuggets continue to decline this year, with the contracts of all the team's main players expiring, it is only a matter of time before the Nuggets disband the team.

And there are rumors that Gua will return to his hometown to play in New York...

Although Jiang Chao had never heard of this, he sincerely praised Jr. He retweeted the highlights of Jr. Smith’s major fairy balls in the series on Twitter and Weibo and commented:

"What? You young people haven't seen Jordan play? Isn't this what you saw?"

Ma Xun, the designer of Chaoshen Sports, comments below:

"I haven't seen Jordan play, but I have seen Jr. Smith!"

Ha ha ha ha!

Netizens love this cute boss so much. Jr. Smith is also very flattered, but he will not come to the Knicks easily. He is Anthony's little brother. He will go wherever Anthony goes... He even called and asked.

I wonder if boss Anthony praised him.

"You are crazy... I was just joking. Do you really think you are Jordan?"

"Oh? Highlights Jordan is not Jordan?" Jr is indeed a mysterious legend, and his brain circuit is a little distorted by netizens.

However, after the Thunder entered the Western Conference Finals, the circle was still shocked.

The feeling of alternation between old and new has emerged. The average age of the Lakers is 30, while the Thunder is only 23. Is this a handover or a continuation of the veteran legend?

Anyway, Curry and Harden are jealous that the Thunder have come so far.

But the boss in the super chat group is so sincere that he is still trying to make a fool of himself:

"You should watch their matchup carefully next. Maybe you will play one of their teams in a year."

In private, Curry and the female ticket complained like this:

"The boss has brainwashed us again to enter the finals next year..."

"Well, it's normal." His girlfriend lay on Curry's body and spoke for Jiang Chao.

"It seems that you are also his crazy fan..."
