America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 409 dropped a big bomb on the NBA

   "Di—"

  When the red light on the timing card is on, the number becomes 0, and the long whistle sounds. The Rockets vs. Lakers game is over.

  117 to 90.

  The Rockets 117, the Lakers 90.

   Judging from the entire game, today's Houston Rockets showed a style of play as if they were playing the last playoff game.

  It seems that if they lose today, they will miss this year's NBA championship.

   The crazy Rockets didn't give the Lakers any chance.

  Having been struggling in the NBA for half a year, Dayao has cultivated his peak body ahead of schedule.

   Even if the skills and tactics are not that good, the experience is not accumulated enough.

   Today's performance is also very good.

   In addition, today is also the only rest period since Dayao joined the NBA, which did not exceed half a quarter of the game.

  Facing the "OK combination" Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, role players Glenn Rice, Derek Fisher, and Robert Horry, it may be the strongest Lakers team in the 21st century.

   In order to win, today's Rockets are not crazy or alive.

   This is an exaggerated ratio of 117 to 90.

   In fact, this score itself is not convincing.

   Today's game is obviously very special.

  Even David Stern can only sit next to the Rockets boss as a foil.

  The official attitude of the NBA league towards tonight's game can be imagined.

   All along, they have enjoyed the "OK combination" of Star Whistle. There is no doubt that they temporarily lost this benefit tonight.

   On the Rockets side, only the immature Yao could enjoy the star whistle from time to time, but today almost all members enjoy it.

  For the Los Angeles Lakers, head coach Phil Jackson is no fool.

   Today's game has not started yet.

  Phil Jackson has already talked about the "OK combination", and has also properly expressed the attitude of the Lakers owner Bass family.

  What is the attitude of the Bath family?

  Of course I am looking forward to the attitude of the Lakers in today's game...

  The so-called NBA giants, the Bass family, may have a bit of a thin face in the commercial sports world in the Los Angeles area.

   But such a small shrimp, when they raised their heads to face the behemoth from outside the domain.

   Of course, you can hide as far as you can.

  The Lakers players are quite obedient.

  Even the "OK combination" who is in full swing, also defaulted to today's failure.

   It's just that as soon as they played, the Rockets, which became more brutal today, aroused their nagging side.

  In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers, who were struggling with foreign work, were poured 35:19.

  The young Kobe was in a hurry, and when he was in a hurry, he got up, and he forgot Phil Jackson's warning as soon as he got up.

   What's even more outrageous is that today's Kobe, Iron King's touch today is surprisingly good.

  In the first 4 minutes of the second quarter, Kobe missed 5 three-pointers in a row, and actually hit four...

   When the game reached the third quarter, the Rockets only led by 15 points.

  Phil Jackson was impatient behind, and Kobe was replaced at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

  Wait until the last three minutes before letting Kobe play.

  In the end, the result of the game is what it is now.

  For this situation, the Lakers fans in front of the TV and in the stadium will boo more or less.

  But if you want to say how angry you are, it’s really not.

  That Abe Smith who just made everyone extremely excited and made everyone look forward to a better future, he was sitting there.

  At this time, Americans only think about the symbol of Americans—let him win.

   On the contrary, they won the game, and the members of the Rockets who won a big win were a little upset.

  In the Rockets locker room.

  The strength is not so outstanding, but Dayao, who is well maintained by the general manager George Postolos, has no joy on his face after the big victory.

  The little giant with extremely high EQ has maintained his relationship in the team very well.

  Even in the team, the original boss, Steve Francis, is very angry with this oriental man now.

  Because the little giant is too good at life.

   And his potential in the interior is very visible to the naked eye.

   As long as you have played against Dayao, spend some time with him.

  Any NBA player will believe that this Chinese man must be an inside superstar in the future.

   "Fak...Although he won, I always feel that it is meaningless."

   Steve Francis, who was wiping his sweat with a towel, couldn't help muttering loudly.

  The other players all looked at the former boss of the team.

   Everyone understands what Steve Francis is complaining about.

  The performance of the Lakers tonight was too obvious.

  In addition to that Lentouqing Kobe, other members of the Lakers, especially the big shark.

   Not playing ball at all tonight.

  Tonight at the Staples Center, O'Neal played with sophistication.

   This made the Rockets, who had won a big game, lose any excitement.

  At this time, everyone's interest is not high.

  Dayao felt that this mood was not good, after all tonight was special.

  The little giant stood up and wanted to say something.

   At this time, head coach Pat Riley walked in.

   Pat Riley is one of the famous head coaches in the NBA.

  It has won the NBA Coach of the Year Award three times in 1990, 1993 and 1997.

  At the end of last year, the head coach was dug over from the Miami Heat by Rockets general manager George Postolos.

   It is not a difficult job for George Postolos to dig out this NBA magician.

  Because of this gentleman, besides being an excellent head coach of the basketball team.

  Its life outside of basketball is also very successful. He is a famous speaker in the United States and a famous fashion figure.

   Among the 30 teams in the NBA, the one with the deepest relationship with fashion and the media is of course the Rockets backed by Smith Media.

  In the case of better development prospects and better remuneration.

   Pat Riley jumped ship without hesitation and became the head coach of the Rockets at the end of last year.

   Papa—

   After entering, Pat Riley applauded a few times, attracting everyone's attention.

  Pat Riley said: "Prepare, media interview. Don't talk nonsense, today's situation is very special."

  When the players agreed, Steve Francis couldn't help but say:

   "Coach, what else can we say. Everyone knows what's going on in today's game."

   Pat Riley looks at Steve Francis.

  Francis is a star player, the boss of the original Rockets.

   Even now, Dayao, who is backed by the head coach and general manager, can't hold down Steve Francis.

  In June last year, in the draft, after the Rockets won Dayao.

   For half a year, it has been in the process of rectification.

  George Postolos got a lot of money.

  But it is also for this reason that all NBA teams are very wary of him.

  In addition, it will take some time for Postolos to adjust the team's business and direction.

   Until Pat Riley jumped over, the head coach and the general manager hit it off.

  The top management of the Rockets has already planned to start brandishing the big stick of the check from the boss, and is going to give other basketball team bosses a hard blow.

   At this time, Steve Francis has arrived on Pat Riley's trade list.

   Francis said these words at this time, of course, made Pat Riley even more dissatisfied.

  The divine operator smiled, but did not reveal his bad emotions.

   "In short, do what you should do. Let's go, the interview is outside."

  Under the leadership of the head coach, the Rockets' starters and substitute players filed out.

  In one of the largest conference halls in the Staples Center, the reporters and preparations for interviews have been made.

  When Pat Riley walked in with the players.

   The flash wasn't very hot, and the reporters didn't look too enthusiastic.

  This is understandable.

  Because of today's game, everyone knows what's going on.

  Compared with interviewing the winners, some journalists who like to make troubles want to interview the Lakers more at this time, interviewing them about how it feels to lose at home...

  Phil Jackson is a chicken thief, how could he give them such an opportunity.

   Today's Lakers did not arrange an interview, so it is estimated that everyone got in the car and left the Staples Center at this time.

  When the members of the Rockets all took their positions on the interview table.

  The reporters got some enthusiasm, and some people started to ask questions.

   "Mr. Pat Riley, as the head coach, I would like to ask what is your opinion on today's game?"

  Who is Pat Riley, this kind of hidden edge question is too simple for him.

  The divine operator smiled and was about to speak.

  Suddenly, the door of the conference hall was opened.

   There were two blacks who were not too weak to O'Neal and walked in.

  Following the crowd in the conference room, a large group of people entered.

   "Wow—"

   There was an uproar at the interview site, because among the crowd that filed in.

   Surrounded by the stars like the moon, it is the real absolute core tonight, Abel Smith.

  The reporter, who was still a little listless, seemed to be pumped out in an instant, and his adrenal hormones were crazily secreted.

  All the reporters went crazy, and many people wanted to squeeze over to Abel.

  Rock Security already has a plan for this situation.

  A perfect bodyguard team can easily isolate the reporters.

  The reporters can only watch Abe Smith go to the interview table of Pat Riley and the Rockets players with the same excitement and anticipation as everyone else.

   After being stunned for a moment, the fortune teller immediately stood up.

  But Pat Riley found that the Chinese people sitting next to him reacted faster than himself.

  The magic operator suddenly realized in his heart—no wonder this guy is highly valued. Not to mention other aspects, just in terms of emotional intelligence, in the NBA, it is estimated that it can be ranked in the forefront.

   A few minutes later, accompanied by David Stern and Rockets general manager George Postolos.

  Abel came to Pat Riley and Dayao.

  Under the gaze of the respectful Pat Riley, Abel easily picked up the microphone on the table and said with a smile, "I hope my arrival will not disturb everyone."

  Someone shouted immediately from the audience: "No, no, I didn't bother you. Even if there was, we'd love for you to come and disturb me."

  Hearing what this person said, many people laughed, and the atmosphere in the audience was happy.

   Abe laughed too, and he patted Pat Riley next to him, who was flattered.

  Because God Operator is on the Internet, I read an article.

  The article said that Abel Smith disliked physical contact with men.

   Apart from shaking hands, there are very few men that Abe Smith can hug.

   Among them, only those men who are most trusted by him or expected by him will be patted on the shoulder by him.

  Pat Riley wonders if this popular article is telling the truth.

   But now, the oracle hopes it's true.

   After patting Pat Riley on the shoulder, Abel, who was holding a microphone, smiled at the reporters and said:

  "The core of everyone's interview today is Mr. Pat Riley and the Rockets players. I came here just to say a few words."

   Without waiting for the reporter below to speak, Abel continued:

   "What I'm saying is that rockets are going to build an empire. Listen, it's not a dynasty, it's an empire!"

   "Here, in my name, I invite all the All-Star players in the league for the first time. The Rockets will not refuse any comers. The Rockets will give you a big contract worthy of you!"

   "To build a dynasty, the luxury tax is not a problem at all!"

"correct."

  He looked at with a smile, because of his declaration, the reporters below, who were already fried, and the Rockets players around him became agitated.

Abel continued: "Besides, starting from this year, I will invite members of the Rockets to visit my family's farm in Texas every year. Of course, if the game is too bad, then there is no such treatment. .”

   "Okay, I'm done talking. Next, it's time for Mr. Pat Riley and the players."

  Abel didn’t wait for the reporters who were frying the pot, and began to attack the bodyguard team frantically, wanting to interview himself frantically.

  He handed the microphone directly to Pat Riley, and under the helpless eyes of David Stern, he left directly with his own people.

  Abel actually knew, knew his high-profile declaration.

   After saying it, it can be said that it almost stabbed the hornet's nest of the entire league team.

   It will make all the teams panic, worrying that their star star will be hooked away.

  I believe that after tonight, the owners of many teams will have nightmares.

  Because not to mention the super big contract that will definitely be very lucrative.

   Just every year, it is possible to visit the Smith family's farm as a guest, which is a huge temptation for any American.

  This ambiguous sentence is too easy for people to imagine.

   Going to the Smith family's farm as a guest can become Smith's friend?

  Even if it is just a possibility, it will make the billionaire NBA All-Star players very excited.

  Those NBA players who have envisioned life, or careers outside the court.

  Such as the future James and the like, smarter black players.

  For them, the hope of visiting the farm of the richest man in the world is a possibility of class promotion.

   Even just this possibility will make the Rockets very attractive to them.

  Abel’s simple words completely detonated the entire alliance.

   Almost every team owner and manager with a superstar came forward the next day and accused Abe Smith of doing so, which would make the NBA lose the fun of competition.

  The fact that the richest man in the world began to wave checks, and at the same time, he also drew big cakes to seduce top stars, made all NBA teams feel uncomfortable and worried to death.

   Abel, who put a big bomb in the NBA, left the Staples Center directly.

   That night, at Los Angeles International Airport, he boarded his own Boeing 747, left Los Angeles directly, and returned to Texas.

   I had a cough for half a month when my lungs were not infected during the CT scan. I still have a **** fever today. I don't know if it's Fuyang, or I caught a cold accidentally. I am desperate for my body.
