NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 287: Three teams battle against the Heat’s Big Three (Happy National Day! Women’s basketball finals!)

12.13.2010.

Cannes.

"Thirteen Hairpins" directed by Lao Mouzi was released globally. As one of the investors, Jiang Chao attended the North American premiere in Cannes for the first time.

You must know that he has not even attended the promotional meeting of his own group's movie, but this time he attended the meeting of the investment movie.

This lets all movie fans know that he is not doing it to make money at the box office or anything else, but for history and the country!

Jiang Chao also repeated what he said when investing at the time: "I dare not forget and I cannot forget."

He may not be the most famous person here this time, but he is definitely the richest. Even the leading actor Christian Bale wanted to give up his position to Jiang Chao. Fans laughed and said that the real boss of Gotham City is neither Batman nor the Joker.

But Jiang Chao!

On the left and right are Ni Ni and Tang Wei. As Jiang Chao’s contracted artist, Ni Ni is also a new generation of girls. In addition, she is also wearing the cheongsam from the movie today, and her smiles and expressions have the flavor of the Republic of China.

Although Tang Wei is not an artist in Jiang Chao's company, he is recommended by Jiang Chao. Tang Wei is the most attractive in the trailer. After all, before watching the movie, everyone only knows the Tang God of a certain ring, but not

Ni Ni.

Jiang Chao, the two great goddesses of the Republic of China, helped this movie, and I believe the influence will be greater than in the previous life!

The main reason is that Jiang Chao did not come alone. In order to help this movie, he invited Lily, whose movie was a hit last year, as well as TV drama goddess Daddario, and Scarlett, who is familiar to everyone from "Super Body"

Went to see the premiere in Cannes.

This suddenly made the front row of the audience star-studded. Many fans were wondering what Jiang Chao was doing? Is he starting a side job to make money again? Until they saw the content of the movie, they all felt that this movie should really attract more people.

Even people all over the world can see it!

While helping to build momentum, we also let them understand this period of Chinese history.

Liu Yan and the others stopped calling over. Jiang Chao was afraid that they would be too moved, so he would just show them in the villa. It was too cruel, and the scene would definitely be unbearable.

Even Jiang Chao couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw Thirteen Chai playing and singing "Qin Huai Jing" at the end:

"I have a love affair

Sing to the lords

Dear gentlemen

Be still, be still, be still.

let me

Sing a song of Qinhuai scenery

Tell me carefully

Sing it for all the gentlemen to hear."

Every word was so beautiful that Scarlett beside her was so emotional that she burst into tears. This sweet melody sounded so tragic at this time.

"Thank you and the director for making us aware of this history."

"I was born in Jinling, and I must let this history be known to the whole world."

Jiang Chao picked up his mood after the premiere and made it clear that the purpose of his visit today was to compete in the Olympics.

The film will represent China in the competition for Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards. Although China has produced many good films this year, this film deserves to represent China!!!

Now all the foreigners at the scene looked at Jiang Chao with admiration. They said that this big boss who only cares about the team "turned his elbows outward" and didn't go to "Introduction to Architecture", "Bottom Hot Girl" and "Pumping Heart"

He was here to promote his bid for the Olympics, yet he actually cared so much about this movie that he just brought money into the group and invested a little bit in.

Then after the host explained it, everyone knew that Jiang Chao, as a Jinling native, really did not dare to forget and could not forget, and he made the right choice.

Lao Mouzi may be the director most likely to succeed. Guo Shi has been nominated for three films before, "Ju Dou", "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Hero".

Lao Mouzi was also moved when he heard this, and he was more determined to make a movie for Jiang Chao for free. Not to mention, if Jiang Chao really promoted it with all his strength, such as playing the trailer on the LED screen at the Knicks home court,

Like, the influence may really increase step by step.

This is a real entrepreneur with humanistic care. There was thunderous applause at the scene. They are also famous directors and producers. While they were shocked by the film, they were also impressed by Jiang Chao's spirit of publicity at the end of the show.

Infected.

Jiang Chao actually doesn't care much about the box office. Everything about "Thirteen Hairpins" in his previous life was perfect. It was also released during the special period of December. The film had nearly 57,000 screenings nationwide, with nearly 3.5 million viewers and a total box office of nearly 1.5

Billion became the box office champion of the week.

Later, it successively received more than 600 million in box office, which can only be said to have almost paid back.

But his humanistic significance is greater than anything else, and it was still very hurtful to fail in the Olympics in the end.

Therefore, in this life, he must help this work to be successfully released around the world and win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

The purpose is not to win the prize, but to be seen by more and more people after winning the prize.

Because he knows it as a movie fan. Many movie fans come to watch movies just to watch the Oscars. The best foreign language film every year is a must-see!

Therefore, it must not be released in only 10 countries. Although there will be difficulties in Neon, he will go all out to promote it!

"Ni Ni, thank you for recruiting so many people for me. You and Tang Wei can rest for a while. Next, I will help promote it."

Jiang Chao's propaganda has brought the world's attention to this period of history, and his attitude has also changed many people's attitudes towards this period of history.

Even in Neon China, there is a slogan of "Don't forget, don't forget". As for the summer festival and winter festival held in Jinling City, they were all canceled because of this.

The world only knows thirteen hairpins, it’s ridiculous that there are no men in Jinling

Once upon a time there was a summer festival in Jinling, it was ridiculous that there were no men in Jinling

This kind of thing cannot happen in this life.

Because Jiang Chao is here, it is impossible to let those people do evil!

…

In the blink of an eye, December 23rd came.

Christmas is coming soon, and the rankings in the Eastern Conference have also changed a lot. The biggest change is that the Celtics have fallen down, and the Bulls have come up.

After losing to the Knicks, the Celtics went on a very painful 5-game losing streak and dropped to sixth place in the Eastern Conference. It seems that the Knicks' tactics against the Celtics made other teams understand how to beat the Celtics. This happened in several games.

He was beaten to death by physical force.

The Knicks have won six consecutive games to secure first place in the Eastern Conference.

It's just that the second place in the Eastern Conference has also been replaced. The Bulls have won all the games since December. The combination of Rose and a bunch of young players is a perfect match for a rookie team.

As David Stern analyzed, there are actually many traditional shooting guards in the league now, and the era of traditional shooting guards is being replaced by combo guards such as Rose and Westbrook. In this era of alternation between the old and the new,

, it is normal for the strength to be clear, and it will be balanced after 1-2 seasons.

This is naturally meant for those fans of weak teams. After all, while there are many strong teams, it also means that a bunch of weak teams are being beaten, resulting in a clear distinction between strong and weak teams.

And what Jiang Chao actually knows is that although this is a reason that traditional defenders will slowly withdraw from the stage of history in the future, the truly awesome ones are still awesome, and people like Pao Ge are guaranteed to play in the playoffs, right?

The main reason is that this is Rose! Only he knows that Rose won the MVP this year over James, and they were first in the Eastern Conference in the previous life!

There is nothing wrong with a team led by the youngest MVP in history, right?

The first dunk in today's top ten Suns young guard Dragic's two-handed dunk without hanging on the frame is simply not too cool.

David Stern's performance is to appease the fans. The fact is that the distinction between strength and weakness will always exist in the future, and the records of powerful teams are getting better and better, and more tank teams will mess up for the sake of talent...

This is the NBA, where the jungle prevails and every team cannot have a king player to make every regular season game as intense as the playoffs.

And it's also a bit interesting, right? For example, in December the Knicks lost to the Timberwolves, who were at the bottom of the Western Conference. That game was not about letting some old teammates off, but the collective Shi Lezhi, who just couldn't make a shot and missed it.

A game with the lowest hit rate and the most mistakes, this kind of game that makes gambling dogs jump off the building is also a kind of fun.

Every team has one or two collective downturns every season. Paul was defeated by 58 in the playoffs. It is normal for the Knicks to lose to a weak team. Let alone a year ago, everyone thought the Timberwolves beat the Knicks.

Si is quite normal.

Seeing the forum collectively cursing the Zhuangou referee and the like, Jiang Chao dreamed of going back to the time when Alipay could buy basketball lottery tickets. Every time there was such an upset, there would be a bunch of fans with villas next to the sea, just wanting to jump off.

But speaking of Zhuang Gou, the Christmas war is about to begin, and he wants to "manipulate" it.

I'm not talking about manipulation, I just want to give the players a breather.

So far this season, except Yao Yao who has taken a few games off, almost all the players have been at full attendance, and now is the point where they are most vulnerable to injuries. Players have entered a period of exhaustion. The miracle doctor Carter also suggested appropriately reducing the playing time of some main players, such as

It's Agent and Okur, best reserved for the playoffs.

Now that the Christmas game is around the corner, the Knicks have already arranged to play the Christmas game against the Heat on the road this year because of their good record last year.

It's an away game and it's played on Christmas Eve, which will directly make it impossible for the Knicks players to spend Christmas, and even if they do, they'll be exhausted when they go home late at night.

So this year's away Christmas game is okay for the fans and the Heat, but it's very unfriendly to the Knicks, and the players don't really want to play.

Christmas is equivalent to Spring Festival for them, and anyone who thinks about it will be distracted.

James also complained the day before that the league arranges for him to play Christmas games every year. He played against the Lakers last year and the Celtics the year before that. Anyway, he was not allowed to have a good Christmas.

However, as soon as he transferred the topic to the NBA, he felt very comfortable and said that he felt that his fans would be very happy when they saw his performance on Christmas Eve. He would be happier than himself on Christmas. He indirectly licked the league and burned himself for everyone.

mean.

But in the final analysis it is...

No one dares to make a rash decision to take turns.

If it were the Spurs, they would have taken the GDP break to go home for Christmas.

Resting players has always been a subtle but unavoidable topic in the NBA. There are 82 regular season games in a season, and two days a game means that players have to travel between home and away games, and they have to insist on daily training. Basically, there is no free time.

.

Although everyone is an iron man, the high-intensity competition in the NBA is no joke. In order to protect the health of big-name players, teams will choose to let them rest, avoid excessive fatigue or even injuries, and prepare for more important games.

But resting is actually contrary to the principles of the NBA. The bigger a player is, the more money he can attract for the league. The league gives him job opportunities and salary, and in turn he must play games without hesitation.

If there is always a rotation, it will be good for the team, but it will be harmful to the league. In recent years, the problem of rotation in the league has also been infinitely magnified.

It is impossible to completely organize the rotation of rest, and the explicit rules of rotation have gradually become "hidden rules".

The Spurs here actually rested Duncan Ginobili in the game on the 23rd, leaving only their younger brother Parker to lead the team.

The most outrageous reasons are food poisoning and hip tightness...

He even criticized the rest after winning the game.

Popovich said that if he were the league president, he would not allow players to rest, but as a team coach he has to do so. This is a contradiction between the interests of the league and the interests of the team.

Jiang Chao doesn't care about so much here.

He dares to make decisions that the management dare not make!!

After knowing the players' mood, he also directly issued the order.

Considering Curry's foot injury and Harden's recent rookie wall, Jiang Chao directly ordered five players to rest in the next game.

No matter if it's the Heat or some other team, what I want is the health of the players.

It’s freezing in Miami. I went there for Christmas and when I came back, it was so cold that I didn’t want to celebrate the holidays.

Curry: Ankle injury.

Harden: Strained hip muscle.

Howard: Shoulder injury

Turk Drew: Back strain

Oku:cold

Yao Ming originally had to take a rest, but he said that he could be on the roster and go to Miami with the team. He was not in a holiday season and resting too many people would be ridiculous.

After Jiang Chao's application arrived at the NBA on Christmas Eve, the NBA was speechless. Several calls came in saying that he must play. What everyone wants to see in the Christmas game is the star showdown. What are you doing?

Playing as a pure substitute?

Sean Marks directly said that these are injuries they have always had, but they all recurred all at once. What can be done about this, and the special plane has already taken off, and Curry Harden and the others did not go to Miami with the team.

These players who took turns were extremely happy. Being able to spend Christmas Eve with their families and girlfriends was like taking a honeymoon vacation between work. Although it only lasted for two days, it was extremely precious in the long regular season.

It's just that the management admires Jiang Chao's thunderous methods. With so many rest days now, do you think you're just a loser in the NBA?

The fans won’t do it either, right?

Only the players are happy, the staff are also happy, and the assistant coaching staff is basically on vacation, which is so cool. Sometimes the boss’s decisions are too popular. Although he may be against the whole world, the atmosphere within the team is——

So happy!

"Thank you boss!"

“Awesome boss!”

"I love you!"

"My wife is just waiting for me to give him a gift!"

“I have a few friends’ children waiting for me to spend the holiday with them in the evening, thank you so much!”

…

David Stern personally said: "You rested all five starters, are you looking for trouble?"

"Our starting lineup is all pseudo-starting, and the starting lineup is not the main force, so why can't we take turns?"

Jiang Chao was actually used to seeing strong winds and waves, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

In later generations, the Warriors and Cavaliers went even further. In a game broadcast live across the United States, the Warriors rested all their main players against the Spurs, and the Cavaliers' three giants, James Irving and Love, did not play in the game and defeated the Clippers.

Just imagine a fierce game in which one or even all the main players on both sides call it quits. How many people will still pay attention? In the long run, the impact on the interests of the alliance will be very bad.

But even in this case, the league later issued no regulations to explicitly prohibit it, and the most it could do was to impose a fine.

There is a saying in the Chinese workplace: If you are not diligent, you will not be lazy; if you are dedicated, you will not have a good eye.

If you want to take a break, you have to be "obscene" and choose some unimportant games. You can't take a break for multiple games in a row. In addition, you have to find a suitable reason, such as body aches, having the flu, or having personal matters that you can't push away and being absent for one or two days.

field.

This was how Yao Ming rested before. At that time, David Stern turned a blind eye. He also wanted to protect YAO's Chinese market.

But when players take turns, each team in the league must report to the league. Then the external stance can be justified, so that they can take a break or two in the busy schedule.

After all, the NBA will never completely ban the phenomenon of resting, because it is also related to the long-term interests of the league.

If a star player is injured during the regular season and is therefore unable to play in the playoffs, the league will lose more than it loses.

For star players, for the sake of both the interests of the team and the interests of the league, they must get a certain amount of rest during the season, so sometimes when we see big-name stars not injured when playing, but they are exempted from the game due to injuries, in fact

It's time to recuperate.

It's just that Jiang Chao was too avant-garde this time.

Christmas war? NO, off-season war!

Topics on major forums broke out about the news that the Knicks would let their entire starting lineup celebrate Christmas.

As soon as the news came out that so many people were taking the no-match card, the entire NBA was in a frenzy, and fans and other team owners came to report it.

David Stern was really angry. This was such a crime under his eyes? The impact was so great that he had to punish him.

Just as he, Heat president Pat Riley and NBA executives were discussing punishment for the Knicks.

No one expected it.

What I thought was a one-sided game actually ended in the last minute???

Beverley Matthews George Ibaka Yi Jianlian

Standing in for Mills, Danny Green, Hayward, and Kyle Anderson, the Knicks, who rotated with 9 players, faced the Heat with all the players playing at home, and they played very anxiously!!!

Maybe even win in the end?
