Chapter 166 A Little Fortune on the Field (1)

April 4, New York, Madison Square Garden, the 12nd game of the Philadelphia 76ers.

After 48 minutes of long competition, the game ushered in the final result.

Philadelphia 76ers beat New York Knicks 94-90

"23 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, Pascal, you did a great job." Young in a blue suit first gave Siakam a high-five to celebrate.

The three guys who have been rested for three games have given 100% enthusiasm and attitude in every game.

"The long regular season is over." After sitting for 48 minutes, Young returned to the locker room and took a large bottle of water from the staff.

gurgle, gurgle, gurgle
"By the way, take out Scott's gift." The 76ers' training hall is in New York, so there is no trouble in giving gifts on the road.

"One Rolex per person??" Covington was not here, and Caruso signed a two-year contract (end of the season + $35 guarantee for the second year), so there are only 12 Rolex watches produced this year.

"Sorry, there are a lot of things this year, so I can only give you the same gift." As the boss, I have to give gifts at least once a year.

After all, there can only be good talk if you are generous, but there is no such thing as stingy and stingy.

"Let's go, go to dinner, I'll treat you." Embiid, who didn't have a gift ready, could only go to treat him to dinner.

"&&&."

"It's too noisy, it's too noisy, I'll call you when I change places." Because it was the game that ended in the morning, plus the delay in taking a shower, everyone arrived at the hotel at a time when there were many people.

Squeezing through the crowds of people walking up and down the hall, Jan saw a park,
"Book"

Check the call log to quickly know who is calling.

"Benjamin, what's the matter?" The agent who rarely looked for him called himself at this time.

"The two half-year endorsements are both worth 200 million. The brand is:" Although there are only five (six) endorsements, the brand image still needs to be paid attention to.

"Take the first one and put the second one." Although there is no grudge against money, there is a brand that does make Yang uncomfortable.

"Also, the AJ official gave me a message. If you perform well in the playoffs, they will give you a signature shoe project in the summer, and you can wear the first generation at the beginning of the season next fall."

"No problem." Behave well, it's really not easy to say it is simple, it's really not difficult to say it is difficult.

"Anything else?"

"I'll take care of the hotel and cruise you want to book in Hawaii." Benjamin finally took care of the Sheraton Hotel mentioned a few days ago.

"Well, it's gone. I'll go back to eat when it's gone." The money has already been transferred, so it really goes without saying that it's not necessary to explain everything.

With the Pelicans losing to the Trail Blazers in the last game, the 30 playoff tickets that 16 teams in the East and West have fought for are also settled.

In the East, the Philadelphia 76ers led by 7 games and won the first place in the East after many years.

The second place is not the Cleveland Cavaliers who were sniped out of the East last year, but the rookie who has been silent for several years: Boston Celtics

Even if the new No. [-] pick Simmons couldn't shoot at all, he and Horford still brought qualitative changes to the Boston Celtics.

Let them come from the edge of last year's playoffs to the second place in the Eastern Conference.

Tristan Thompson and Love suffered successive injuries.

Korver and JR Smith's [-]-point shooting was significantly lower than expected.

The Cavaliers, who are extremely weak and have begun to degenerate, have been unable to compete with the Boston Celtics for the second place in the Eastern Conference after more than 70 games.

For LeBron James and Irving, this year is different from last

2011 is different from 2012

fail again this time

The desire to bring a championship to Cleveland may not be possible.

The front is not easy to mess with, and the abuse in the back is not as good as myself, allowing the Raptors of Lowry and DeRozan to firmly win the fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

Wall, Gortat's normal performance, Bill's explosion, and Porter's ability to make more contributions than the previous year made the Washington Wizards usher in an explosion this year and won the fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

Larry Bird resigned in the summer, and his record is only sixth in the Eastern Conference. Indiana in the summer will definitely be even more lively.

Rondo, Wade, Butler, noisy old and newcomers, let the Chicago Bulls reluctantly accept the seventh seat in the Eastern Conference.

The eighth place in the East belongs to Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has exploded this year. In the key battle, he scored 34 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists.
Helping the Milwaukee Bucks successfully solve the Atlanta Hawks, making them eligible for a duel with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Playoff power rankings
The playoffs ranked first, the Golden State Warriors, 1 wins and 67 losses.

Stephen Curry: 25.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists.

Kevin Durant: 25.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists

Klay Thompson: 22.3 points, 3 rebounds and 2.1 assists

Evaluation: ~~~~~~~~~
X-factor: Iguodala, Green's shooting volatility, and possible injury issues.

Except for these two points, the West is unbeatable, and the East...

Playoff Rank 2
The Philadelphia 76ers have a record of 58 wins and 24 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

Main player data, Young, 26.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.8 assists

Embiid, 20.4 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks

Brogdon, 16.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists.

Richardson, 13.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals.

Evaluation: Embiid's comeback, Brogdon, and Richardson joined, so that Young, who was the Optimus Prime last year, is not so exhausted, and his appearance rate has also increased from last year's unsatisfactory 57 games to a satisfactory 71 games.

The team's record has also improved significantly from the third place in the Eastern Conference with 51 wins to the first place in the Eastern Conference with 58 wins.

X Factor: Siakam

After Covington was reimbursed for the season, the 76ers chose to strengthen Siakam, the 26th pick this year. Siakam performed well in 25 games.

In 32 minutes of playing time, he scored 14.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.8 assists.

but

After becoming the main force, his record and statistics against the main competitors of the 76ers: Celtics, Cavaliers, and Warriors are not outstanding.

There is a good chance that the playoff environment will see more volatility.

After finishing the offense, let’s talk about defense. In Philadelphia’s system, Embiid guards the rim in the center, Young supports the outside line to harass, and Covington recovers to make up the basket to help protect the frame. This system Siakam can’t work, which is also very important for Philadelphia.

Manhattan, New York
Speaking of signature shoes, Yang remembered an important thing
He has no time to manage his investment

He wants to find a professional investment manager to help him with these projects.
