ATPnovel Chapter 386
Chapter 386
There is not only basketball in this world.
Steve Novak had a stunning debut with the Bobcats.
In the first game, they scored a team-high 39 points.
Among them, the performance of 14 of 11 three-pointers made the Rockets beat their chests.
Fortunately, this is just a game.
Who doesn't eat dumplings during Chinese New Year!
Maybe, today is Novak eating dumplings.
……
Finished beating the Knicks.
The Bobcats still have to rush back to Charlotte overnight.
The next day we have to play the 76ers back to back.
Originally, Zhou Yao planned to meet David Stern.
But I have to catch a plane after the game.
before the game.
Stern held a full day of meetings.
Originally, this was just the most ordinary regular meeting of the NBA.
It won't last that long at all.
However, the atmosphere of this regular meeting was wrong from the beginning.
Many people who originally supported Stern lost their voice.
This problem is not big.
Stern has been the league's president for so long.
The method of drawing one faction to fight another has long been mastered.
There is actually not that much unity within the alliance.
As long as some people are on his side, that's fine.
It doesn’t even need to be a majority.
After all, he is still the president of the league.
Just this time.
Many people jumped out to blame Stern.
It's not like this has never happened before.
However, this time it was obviously a trial.
Most of the opponent's power has not yet been demonstrated.
And Stern also knows who his opponent is.
Adam Silver.
This guy has been trained as Stern's successor.
And, everyone knows.
Stern is 64 years old.
In a few years, he will also retire from the position of president.
But now it seems.
I have raised a rebel.
Stern remembered something Zhou Yao once said to him.
"The son is Zhongshan wolf, and it will be rampant if you get aspiration."
Even though Zhou Yao translated for him, Stern did not fully understand the meaning of this sentence.
Since last summer, Xiao Hua has been showing his fangs little by little.
Looking at it now, he is just a white-eyed wolf who is fed unfamiliar food.
For now, Stern can barely hold him down.
However, the plan proposed by Xiao Hua seems to be more profitable.
There will only be more and more people supporting Xiao Hua.
Next season at the latest.
Stern suspected that he would be unable to suppress Xiao Hua.
Stern is still in good health.
Although I already have plans to retire.
But not now.
Not to mention being ousted by his former younger brother.
Stern's first thought was to win the support of team owners and top stars in the league.
The first person he called was Zhou Yao.
"I heard a word."
"If the sky wants it to die, it will make it crazy!"
"Some people have shackles around their necks."
"We can just sit and watch the show."
"Just finished Christmas."
"Mr. President has not rested for a long time."
"It's better to give yourself a holiday."
"Life is not just about basketball."
Stern is clear.
Zhou Yao is on his side.
But Stern still couldn't understand what he said.
Next, the Bobcats will have three consecutive home games.
Jordan and Zhou Yao's estates in Charlotte have also been completed.
In addition, Zhou Yao also built a film and television city on the outskirts of Charlotte.
Went to Charlotte for a short vacation.
Seems like a good idea too.
I haven't spent much time with my family these years.
Alienated from children.
……
1 month 13 day.
Back-to-back home games against the 76ers.
The Bobcats made the 76ers' management understand the pain of not having Iverson.
It was as if the bobcat was playing.
The score was never widened.
It seems that as long as they work harder, the 76ers can gain a victory.
It's just that Iverson is no longer on the team.
Scores are needed at critical moments, but no one can step forward.
Iguodala, who had high hopes, was restricted throughout the game.
Only 11 of 1 shots.
Moreover, Zhou Yao's defense against Iguodala was clean.
Iguodala didn't get a single free throw opportunity throughout the game.
The third quarter went to the end.
The head coach had to put Iguodala back on the bench.
He's just under 23 years old.
If the fight continues, the genius who the management regards as the core of the team may become autistic.
And to the fourth quarter.
Novak shows off his power again.
3 consecutive three-pointers took away the game.
People can seem to see the Rockets management stamping their feet and beating their chests.
And in far away Los Angeles.
98: 100.
The Cavaliers lost to the Clippers.
Pavlovich made 6 of 2 shots from the field and 3 of 0 three-pointers.
Considered a three-point marksman, James gave him three opportunities to shoot from outside the three-point line.
As long as he catches it once, the Cavaliers win.
The Cavaliers are now eighth in the Eastern Conference.
Fortunately, the ninth-place 76ers also lost.
Otherwise, the knight's position would be in danger.
James expressed his frustration.
When he came to the Cavaliers, Pavlovich was very uncomfortable.
The three-point shooting percentage has dropped seriously.
He said it himself.
He should have more opportunities to shoot from behind the arc.
Moreover, a few games can't explain anything.
He was with the Cavaliers before, so he couldn't play because he didn't have a chance.
James said, what you said makes sense.
However, with the team's current record, they don't have that much time to get used to Pavlovich.
Is this transaction a loss?
……
On January 1, the Bobcats defeated the Bucks again.
On January 1, the Bobcats lost to the Nets.
Throughout the game, the Bobcats didn't seem to do anything wrong.
However, Carter, who is about to turn 30, and Kidd, who is about to turn 34, are experiencing an explosion at the same time.
Carter can no longer fly and escape like he did before.
却是22投17中，三分球7投6中，罚球6罚6中。
Scored 46 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steals.
Kidd also had 19 points, 8 rebounds, 19 assists, and 2 steals.
The Nets played very hard.
The performance of other players was far from outstanding.
91: 90.
The Nets are already very satisfied with winning by one point.
The Nets currently rank No. 11 in the Eastern Conference.
In front of them are the Pacers in tenth, the 76ers in ninth, and the Cavaliers in eighth.
Winning against the Bobcats gave the Nets players a lot of confidence.
There are still 44 games to play.
The players firmly believe that they can at least make the playoffs.
In addition, there is a superstition circulating among Nets players recently.
The Nets did not trade the picks to the Bobcats. Does this mean that the Bobcats are optimistic that they can enter the playoffs.
……
The game between the Bobcats and the Nets is over.
David Stern also ended his vacation.
He's going back to New York.
He had been told.
In the past few days when he was away, Xiao Hua made many small moves.
Already some league executives and team owners have swung to his side.
The night is already deep.
Stern was tired.
It's almost time to board the plane.
Stern also knew now was not the time to take a nap.
Just then, the phone rang...
