Chapter 325 Can you win the championship?

The NBA officially announced the latest rookie rankings soon:
1. Dirk Nowitzki of the Nets, 18.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists
2. Vince Carter of the Raptors, 18.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists
3. Paul Pierce of the Celtics, 16.4 moves, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists
4. Mike Bibby of the Grizzlies, 13.2 points, 6.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds
5. Jason Williams of the Kings, 12.8 points, 6 assists, 3.1 rebounds
6. Cuttino Mobley of the 76ers, 9.9 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists
...

9. Antawn Jamison of the Warriors, 9.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 0.7 assists
10. Olowokandi of the Clippers, 8.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.2 blocks
……

Relying on his excellent performance of 76+30 in the last game against the 10ers, Nowitzki successfully rose from the original No.2 to No.1 on the rookie list, ahead of Vince Carter!
Because of this ranking, many media people are even more lively.

"Dirk has conquered the entire league with his own efforts!"

"This is what a certain coach said, playing too soft!"

"The growth of German tanks is too fast and too strong!"

The media is buzzing, but this buzz makes people feel a little restless.

It was also from this day that the atmosphere of the alliance changed and became a little different.

……

On April 4, the Philadelphia 9ers defeated the Boston Celtics in back-to-back away games.

86-83
Iverson scored 31 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists.

Li Nan scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Pierce 32 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists
However, some media reported this after the game.

"Paul Pierce scored 32+7+7, the Celtics lost with 3 points!"

"A new dawn in Boston!"

"The Rookie of the Season is undoubtedly Paul Pierce!"

"Fight against the Philadelphia Twins! Paul Pierce is an honor to lose!"

"Paul is the real Jordan successor!"

其实今天皮尔斯表现并不怎么样。他的得分是很高的32分。可是，他那是靠出场时间和出手堆出来的。上场40分钟，投篮32中12，罚球10中7。而且很多机会都是在轮转时间得的分。

Moreover, today's game is not as fierce as the score shows.Three minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides was 3 points.The reason why it became 15 points was that Pierce grabbed a lot of points in garbage time.

However, when it came to the mouth of the media, the taste changed.How powerful it is to become Pierce.

Of course, this is not just the Celtics, not just Pierce alone.Nets' Dirk Nowitzki, Grizzlies' Mike Bibby, Raptors' Vince Carter...

"Dirk, the next Larry Bird!"

"Mike Bibby, the magician on the court!"

"Flying Vince Carter!"

Of course, it's not just rookies.

Duncan of the Mavericks, Webber of the Kings, Hardaway of the Magic...

"Tim Duncan bloody Kevin Garnett!"

"Weber led the king to overthrow the Purple and Gold Legion!"

"Hardaway put out the Heat by himself!"

Star players appear more frequently in the news media.

Every day in the newspapers, on TV, on the radio, you can see him, him, him or his unparalleled excellence.

Every day during the day, everyone can see all kinds of pre-match promotions such as "The Rocket Trident fights against the Jazz in black and white!"

Within a few days, the NBA seemed to be in its heyday.

……

In the owner's office at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.

Boss Pat Cross looked at the last month's financial statement in his hand, feeling really happy in his heart.

He goes out to shoot movies every month, and he can see a lot of income when he comes back when he finds time, which is really flattering.

However, Greenberg felt that it was not enough!As an aspiring general manager, Greenberg feels that the current 76ers' revenue is not enough.

His goal is to turn the 76ers into a giant like the Lakers and Celtics. The value of the team must be hundreds of millions, right?

Recently, other teams are engaging in publicity and feelings.

A big team like the Raptors put up a "flying man" promotion to sell Vince Carter, who is dunking.They even want to train Jordan.Another Jordan successor!An annoying successor to Jordan.

However, they just sold Carter.Tickets for the Raptors have been rising this month, and they are sold out by several percent.

Seeing this, Greenberg was naturally a little jealous.

So Greenberg said to his boss:

"Boss, should we also add some input?"

Pat Cross suddenly became indifferent from his face full of joy,
"No! No! We are No. [-] in the league! No. [-] in the league is the biggest advertisement! So, we don't need this!"

"But~"

Greenberg wanted to say something, but Pat Cross cut him off.

"Brad~"

These are three words with earnestness and sincerity, but Greenberg saw a stern boss, who was a little strange.

After waiting for a while, Pat Cross said the following,

"Be cautious in everything, know how to restrain yourself in doing things, and don't just care about your own interests."

Hearing this, Greenberg shuddered.To die, to die, to be found, to be found.

Greenberg bowed his head involuntarily, waiting for the boss's final judgment.

However, the imagined situation did not appear.

Patcross was silent for a moment, then asked suddenly:
"Brad, do you think we can really win this year?"

Can you win the championship?

Greenberg doesn't know.However, the answer now is that it must be possible!

"Yes! Of course we can win! No one can stop us from winning without Michael Jordan."

"Then tell me, if we win the championship, how much is the team worth?"

"Hmm~"

When it comes to this, Greenberg's brain is much brighter.

"The New York Knicks encountered a financial crisis in 97. At that time, they sold Dolan for 3000 million U.S. dollars. If we win the championship this year, the market value will naturally soar. 5000 million, no! 8000 million! Or even [-] million ! I think it's all very reasonable!"

As he talked, Greenberg also spoke out the blueprint he had been thinking about for a long time,
"And, boss, listen to me. If our team continues to win the championship next year and in the future, then we will be the most profitable team in the league. At that time, the market value will be 76 million, [-] million, or [-] million." Billion! In the future, our [-]ers will also be giants..."

Seeing Greenberg's grand plan, Patcross smiled "hen~" and patted him on the shoulder.

"Come on! Brad! At that time, you must be the hero and veteran of the team!"

"Yes! Boss! I will definitely work hard!"

As long as you don't remember my mistakes, Boss, I will definitely be terrified!
Greenberg looks forward with a flushed face to the future...

……

The management staff sitting in the town can sit back and relax, while the Philadelphia 76ers players flying around outside are exhausted every day.However, fortunately, the record is good, and the mood is beautiful.

On May 5, the 3ers won the Wizards at home, and the team's total record came to 76 wins and 37 losses, securing the league's first place in advance!

"Win! We won!"

"Yeah! We are number one in the league!"

"Ah! We are the 76ers!!!"

The entire stadium was packed with excited fans...
