Chapter 178 The Old Monster

However, if you want to speak for the Greater China region, Totoro has to prepare a new company. Management needs talents, system design needs talents, operations needs talents, and everything needs talents. How can you do it if you don’t prepare for these things?If you just pay money to share the shares, then you will definitely be emptied by others, or diluted by other big shots in the later stage of capital injection.

Now counting all his harem, Bugay is the only one who has some professional knowledge in financial management, but it is impossible for Totoro to entrust Bugay with everything. It's not a machine, but a flesh-and-blood person. Now that his subordinates are in charge of Totoro's business activities and entertainment brokerage company, allocating such a large property to her will definitely exhaust this strong woman.

"Are you going to let your beautiful secretary be in charge of the game company?"

The blond sister seemed to be a roundworm in Totoro's stomach, and she saw through the embarrassment of Totoro at a glance and asked.

"Of course not. She already has enough burdens. I want to change someone, but to be honest, I can't think of anyone who is both trustworthy and capable."

Totoro spread his hands and said honestly, there is nothing embarrassing about it. If Ivy has a suitable person here, Totoro will not be at ease. Anyway, he is the one who contributed the capital, and he is also the major shareholder, no matter who it is People, anyway, they are all working under his hands.

"Of course, I have a very good classmate who graduated from the Harvard Finance Department. Now she is worried that she has no place to use her skills. If you don't mind, I will let him prepare our company. How about it? What do you think?"

"Okay, okay, I have no objections, let's go to another studio to negotiate tomorrow, and try to finalize this matter within this month."

Totoro waved his hand indifferently, he didn't even listen to the name of the new manager, nor did he care about his graduation school, otherwise Totoro would complain about Harvard University again?Aren't they best at biology and chemistry?Which finance graduate is really okay?
After the game against the Spurs, the Rockets will deal with the Mavericks, Eagles, Trail Blazers, Thunder, Suns, Jazz, Hornets and other powerful Western teams in February. These games will not be as easy as before. Most of these teams They are all fighting for the goal, either for the playoff qualification, or for the home court advantage in the playoffs. In short, they will no longer be like those few lottery teams. Yes, they need to win.

On the other hand, the Rockets have no reason to fail. Even if they have no requirements for their record, their new lineup was assembled before the All-Star Game. The new lineup needs to be adjusted, so there is nothing better than victory to allow new teammates to quickly integrate into the team that's it.

Moreover, the Western Conference is very tight. It is not a big problem for them to lose one or two games, but if they try to lose 4 or 5 games in a row, if they lose all the way at this time and fall out of the top eight in the Western Conference, Yao Ming can win this season. Immediately announced his retirement, and Totoro himself was even worse. No matter how well-known he is now, he will fall so badly at that time.

So when facing the Mavericks on February 2, even at the American Airlines Center, the Rockets are bound to win this game to give themselves a good start.

They have played against the Dirk Cowboys twice before, with a record of one win and one loss. Nowitzki of the Mavericks has always been an unsolvable existence for the Rockets. The Rockets have David Randolph at the power forward position. Li, these two people, one is bulky and the other is short, both of them were casually blown up by German tanks. Don't look at Nowitzki's mid-range shot, his dribbling breakthrough is also not bad. The Rockets lost the game because they were beaten. Nowitzki dribbled the ball to Randolph to a sudden death.

At the beginning of this game, Randolph did not start the game. On the contrary, the Totoro started at the power forward position, Iguodala served as the starting small forward, Battier served as the starting shooting guard, and Lowry replaced him again. The change of Calderon as the starting lineup made everyone who paid attention to this game stunned.

This is, what kind of play?With a starting lineup consisting of three strikers and one powerful back, do the Rockets want to rely on defense to survive and kill the Mavericks in this game?

And Chinchilla can play power forward?Fans, even the loyal believers of Totoro, said that they have seen their leader play small forward, and also played in the scoring post, but they have never seen Totoro play power forward. There are two worlds between inside players and outside players. Du Shubao is also tall enough, but if you let him try as an insider, he will definitely be overwhelmed by pure insiders who are not as famous as him.

Of course, unless the Warriors developed a small lineup of death like the Warriors later, relying on speed and rotation to solve the opponent, the defense depends on everyone's filling, so that Durant can play as a power forward, But looking at the Rockets now, it doesn't look like they are beating the dead five. A traditional center as big as Yao Ming is still on the court.

Sitting on the bench, Adelman was frowning deeply. He said in his heart that this lineup was not his idea, but that Totoro asked him before the game. Of course, Ashuai instinctively didn't want him to mess around, because if he started The lineup has undergone major adjustments and failed. As a coach, he will definitely not be able to escape the blame. But now Totoro is in full swing in the Houston Rockets, and even the boss on his head is never stingy. The old Alexander became a few Chinese, and his salary was also paid by the Chinese. How could he refuse the request made by the Chinese?Nine out of ten times out of ten, I can't escape this pot.

The head coach of the Mavericks, Johnson, was also very curious. He didn't expect that the Rockets would raise Totoro to a position before the game and let him defend the old driver. Nowitzki's official height is 2 meters, but the official NBA data will always be the least One kind of letter, no one knows the real height of the German tank, but judging from the fact that he and Totoro stand together and can't tell who is taller and who is shorter, he is at most 13 meters and 2 years old.

Dampier, who claims to be the No. [-] center in the Western Conference, won the ball for the Mavericks. Needless to say, he is an idiot, but at least in the jump ball, he can always beat Yao Ming, the No. [-] center in the Western Conference.

Kidd, who was newly traded, glanced at Johnson, and the little general nodded, indicating that the team would follow the original plan before the game.

The deal between the Mavericks and the Nets was actually completed before the All-Star Game, and Harris also went to the Nets to report smoothly, but Kidd was delayed due to a personal matter, which also made him the last All-Star in the Eastern Conference. Star starters.

The old monster nodded, and he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without haste. During this process, the younger Lowry wanted to use his body to squeeze Kidd, and then fell into his hands The ball or something, but these were easily resolved by Kidd.

Calculating carefully, Kidd, who entered the NBA in 94, can be regarded as an old monster who has been in the league for 14 years. He was selected by the Mavericks in his rookie period and formed a sensational three-J combination in the league. It is a pity that he still won the championship. A woman fell apart. After leaving the team to join the Suns for a while, she came to the Nets, where Kidd reunited with Carter and Jefferson to form a new three Musketeers. The team showed outstanding performance in the first year. Su's strength, even reached the finals in the second year. Unfortunately, the strength of the Three Musketeers was not enough to compete with the OK combination that was at its peak at that time. O'Neal and Kobe teamed up to eliminate the Nets.

Then Carter left, and Kidd saw that he was getting older and farther away from the championship. Kidd, who didn't want to spend his life casually at the end of his career, also chose to leave. He was traded to a championship-quality team, and the team helped him choose the Dallas Mavericks.

In fact, the place that the old monster wants to go the most is the Houston Rockets in front of him. Like Iverson, Kidd thinks that he can get into this team smoothly and fight for the championship together.

The reason why he lost in the Nets was because the team did not have qualified insiders. Their three musketeers, a point guard, a point guard, and a small forward, naturally couldn't stop the brutal sharks over there. There is a dominant insider Yao Ming, and many other powerful insider substitutes or starters. As a traditional point guard, he likes the one with a strong insider. The team, this configuration of the team can allow him to play 120% of his power.

There is also a Totoro in the Rockets who can do four, three and two, which is the second place that attracts Kidd.

He is old and old. I think he didn't come to the league at the age of 18 like Kobe. He played in the college league for a while. Counting his age, he was born in 1973 and he is 35 years old this year.

The old monster's experience has been so rich that it can't be richer, but his athletic ability is constantly declining. Kidd needs to find a young and dynamic team, and use the athletic ability of other young guys in the team to make up for his physical weakness. He can also use his own experience to make up for the lack of experience of others, which happens to be a mutually beneficial model.

Are there any younger and more talented players in the league than Totoro?I'm afraid not, so it is reasonable for the old monster to take a fancy to Totoro.

Finally, what the Rockets lack in their lineup is the PG position. Calderon is mediocre, and Lowry is too young. If the Rockets want to achieve results in recent years, they must need someone as experienced as themselves. player of.

It's a pity that the Nets will not take his needs as the main purpose of the transaction, and the Rockets have indeed quoted a price to the Nets, but the price of Randolph + Lowry + two draft picks in the coming year is not the same. Instead of impressing the Nets, the Mavs have Devin Harris, DeSagana Diop, Maurice Iger, Keith Van Horn, Trenton Hassell, two future first-round picks And the chips of $300 million in cash were even more attractive. Kidd finally settled in Dallas and began to struggle for his original club.

Kidd steadily dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he quickly saw the Rockets' defensive layout, and then delivered the ball steadily to Nowitzki's hands.

This passing skill doesn't look difficult, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, Totoro is not out of position, the old driver is not a point guard, Kidd just dribbled the ball across the frontcourt and then passed the request to his teammates Let alone our CBA point guards, nine and a half out of at least 10 point guards in the NBA can do it.

But if it is seen by a knowledgeable person, Kidd's passes are all learned.

The first Kidd rarely makes mistakes, the second Kidd's assist ratio is very high, and the third Kidd's defense is not bad. This can be seen from his active triple-double king, but why does Kidd's assist ratio high?Why Kidd can always get a triple-double?Few people have considered this question.

Because this old monster can always pass the ball to the player who has the weakest defense on his side and has the greatest scoring grasp on his side, and Kidd's distribution of the ball is also very reasonable. No teammate with him has ever said that Kidd is a player. Ball bully, domineering, and no one has ever complained that he can't get the ball to attack by Kidd's side. A team has five players, but there is only one basketball player. Kidd can do this step, which is enough to see He has a lot of skill at traditional point guards.

In Totoro’s previous world, many people wondered if Kidd replaced Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming as teammates, would the Rockets have already broken through the Western Conference Finals, and would Yao Ming have averaged 30+10+ per game? In fact, this kind of speculation is not imaginary. If the two can really become players, the little giant's achievements in the NBA must be greater than when he partnered with McGrady. If you explain it in an easy-to-understand way, Yao Ming is equivalent to half meat and half output Shan, McGrady is an ADC, and Kidd is a support. Who wants to carry? He doesn't want to cooperate with a support, but wants to cooperate with an ADC who steals his economic data?

Putting these aside, Nowitzki took the ball and made a tentative step at Totoro, and then immediately pulled the ball back and wanted to shoot.

Chinchilla didn't move at all, because he didn't see Nowitzki lift his feet and make the habitual golden rooster's independent movement. Although this is not a hundred and one test, it is also a small experience summed up by Chinchilla watching Nowitzki's game video.

Generally, if he wants to make a real shot, he will lift his foot slightly back, otherwise it will be a fake move. If he can really change his habit of not raising his foot to shoot the ball at some point, it will be considered a failure. Anyway, he got it on his own head. He can confidently return all the points, so what's the use of Nowitzki scoring 90 points today?As long as the young master scores [-] points, who can say that I was blown away?
