Pick Westbrook

Chapter 88 Playoff Sprint

The All-Star weekend is over.

The most eye-catching All-Star game, because of the matchup between Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming, this game was once again full of Chinese basketball fans.

And the scene of the cheerful fight between the two on the court was also regarded by these fans as the beginning of the rise of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Even Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia have bluntly stated that the current strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is at least among the top six in the world.

David Stern and Adam Silver also attended the game.

When the two learned backstage that the number of Chinese fans watching tonight had even surpassed that of the American mainland, they were shocked and found it incredible.

"This is unbelievable!
There has never been a region where more fans watch than our own. "

David Stern quickly restrained his shock and said: "So we have to step up the connection between the NBA and the Chinese market. This will definitely be a very big cake in the future."

Xiao Hua continued: "Teacher, Chinese fans seem to focus on Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian the most, followed by Kobe. Except for these three, the other stars are relatively much worse."

Of course Stern knew about this, thought for a while and said: "Then go and have a good talk with the owners of these three teams, and let them all work closely with the Chinese market, which will have a great impact on the globalization of the NBA in the future." s help."

Adam Silver nodded, and subconsciously remembered the Bucks, which had signed multiple endorsement contracts with Chinese sponsors this season.

"That guy Li Lai seems to have already established a relationship with the Chinese market."

Another game.

The Rookie Challenge, which has been won by the sophomores for six consecutive years, was finally overturned by the rookies of the 6 class.

威斯特布鲁克和罗斯两人在球场上大杀四方，前者拿下了35分7篮板7助攻的准三双数据，后者拿下了最高分的40分4篮板3助攻。

Durant of the second-year team was alone, and the first-year team won the game with 138:125.

"And the final MVP trophy was awarded to Westbrook and Rose at the same time for the first time."

Hammond felt like spring breeze when he said this.

Especially after the awards ceremony that night, the names of the Bucks and Westbrook appeared in the news media and newspaper headlines throughout the sports world.

Who would have thought that among the rookies in the 08 class, the one who could share the MVP of the Rookie Challenge with Rose would be Westbrook?

This kid who is famous for his defense in the NCAA has only passed half a season, and under the training of the Bucks, he has become a player with a great overall view and impact on the court.

"In short, the Bucks are on fire."

"Westbrook is also considered the only player in this class who can pose a threat to Rose."

"As for the other two of the three cornerstones that were exaggerated at the time, they have already been left behind by them now."

"So, many people are wondering, who is the next major award, the Best Rookie Award ROY?"

After Holloway finished speaking, she gave Li Lai a meaningful look.

Li Lai didn't notice it, but said to himself: "The All-Star Game has come to an end, Yi Jianlian was selected as an All-Star, and Westbrook won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.

All in all, everything is moving in a positive direction. "

Hammond proudly said: "Because of Westbrook and Yi Jianlian's performance in the All-Star Game, the fans' willingness to come to the stadium to watch the game is high."

"At present, our average ticket price has increased to 52 US dollars, and the attendance rate has reached 95%."

"This result is among the top few in the league even if you look at it."

Holloway reminded: "Even if we raise ticket prices again, there is still a shortfall of 1000 million to be resolved."

"Otherwise, in the last month, our capital chain will be completely disconnected, and the operation of the entire team will have problems."

"You said before that you have to figure out a way to do this. I wonder if you have figured out a way now?"

Hearing this, Li Lai shouted loudly.

To be honest, he still hasn't found a way to end this problem, and as before, he really can't find any way to solve this matter.

"It would be great if the league's broadcast dividends and advertising revenue could be paid out in advance."

After leaving this matter behind, Li Lai discussed the team's next work with Hammond and Tyronn Lue.

This is also the top priority of the entire team.

That is the Bucks must go all out to sprint and reach the playoffs.

Hammond said: "At present, our record ranks third in the Eastern Conference. The first three teams are the Cavaliers, Celtics and Magic."

"The difference between us and the Magic is the least, only two games away, but they are gaining momentum now, and it is not so easy to catch up."

"And there are Bulls, Raptors, Heat, Hawks, Sixers and Pistons in hot pursuit."

Tyronn Lue reminded: "The most important thing is that in the next two months after the All-Star break, we basically play against the Eastern Conference teams.

This is very different from playing against Western teams! "

Li Lai nodded, of course he understood the reason behind this.

Win a Western Conference team or lose, then it's just a game in terms of record.

But if you win or lose the Eastern Conference team, it's two games in terms of record.

Therefore, the latter is more dangerous.

"That is to say, when the Bucks face their opponents in the East next, they must go all out and not lose a single game."

Tyronn Lue glanced at Li Lai nervously, and continued: "This is difficult.

And in the next game, we will play against the team in the East. "

Hammond sighed.

That team is the most difficult bone in the East, and it is also a team that is extremely arrogant.

After all, he is the defending champion!
Li Lai was silent for a while, the match against the defending champion was indeed the biggest test for the Bucks.

So tomorrow night's game must be won!
"Whether the Bucks can fight a tough battle, and whether they can withstand the impact of each team, will start from the game tomorrow night."

After the meeting, Hammond and Tyronn Lue left one after another.

Holloway walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the meeting room and said suddenly: "That girl actually appeared outside the arena as early as last month.

She was there almost every day during this time, until today she disappeared. "

Li Lai thought of the Jordan Carver he met yesterday, followed Holloway's gaze through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and it was the huge stag in the center of the square that caught his eyes.

"She left and went to chase her dream." Li Lai said truthfully.

Holloway turned her head and said with clean eyes: "I don't know what happened to you two, but that girl came to you every day, she must want your help."

Li Lai sighed and said, "I'm a mud bodhisattva now, and I can't protect myself. There are still a lot of troubles for the team."

Holloway crossed her arms and said, "So you just have the heart to watch her go outside and make a mess? You're a disciple!
I only knew that you like to mess around outside, but I didn't expect you to be so hard-hearted! "

Li Lai was upset by Holloway.

He wanted to help Jordan Carver, after all, the two were too familiar anyway, but he really couldn't think of a way to help her.

He wants to be a big star!
