took my sister on the expedition, and the mood was a lot happier.

Zu Goose has never been to San Antonio, this time Sun Ce brought her along, anyway, this girl is full of vitality, and she is not too tired to take a plane continuously, Sun Ce can at least tease her little sister when the schedule is so tight that it is maddening, and cultivate her sentiments.

There is still more than a month before the holiday, but the school's exams have been almost done, and her grades are enough to go to a very good public high school, and now she reviews her homework every day, mainly because she wants to take the private high school, even if she stays in Lausanne High School to study in high school, she has to take the entrance exam for the high school at the end of May.

So asking for leave has become very simple, and the school also encourages students to go out and have a look, so that Sun Ce can't help but slander that so many tuition fees have been paid in vain, why there is no three-year high school entrance examination and five-year simulation or something.

On April 10th, Sun Ce and Zu Goose followed the team to Dallas, the Grizzlies have one more day off today, and tomorrow will start 8 days and 6 games, that is, three back-to-back games in a row, but the opponents are similar, the Mavericks have gone to San Antonio yesterday, the Mavericks played the Spurs and the Grizzlies back-to-back, and the Spurs played the Mavericks tonight and the Grizzlies the day after tomorrow.

In the past three days, their three Texas favorites have faced each other, the Spurs are slightly better, and there is a break in the middle, and the Grizzlies and Mavericks are back-to-back.

After arriving at the hotel, having lunch, Sun Ce took Zu Ge to watch a horse race, and when he met a very talkative white uncle, who seemed to be an old gambler, he knew every horse, and told the record of each horse in the race, as well as their "character characteristics", and felt more familiar than his wife.

In the evening, Sun Ce and his teammates watched the live broadcast of the game between the Mavericks and the Spurs, and both teams played the game with all their strength, and in the end, the Mavericks relied on Yao Ming to score 5 points in a row at a critical moment and beat the Spurs 111-108.

When watching the game, Sun Ce suddenly discovered one thing, the Spurs, who have been much more low-key this season, have 11 wins and 1 loss in the past 12 games, and if they hadn't lost to the Mavericks in this game, they would have overtaken the Lakers.

After this game, the Spurs' record became 40-16, and they continued to be overpowered by the 41-16 Lakers, while the Mavericks, who defeated the Spurs, became 31-25 and temporarily ranked seventh in the West.

Looking at the Spurs' 11-2 loss in the past 13 games, and the 11-1 loss before the loss to the Mavericks, there was not much coverage in the past period, Sun Ce wanted to ask: Why?

Now the "Grizzly Threat Theory" has emerged among the NBA media and fans, but the Spurs, a team that can become the big devil with a meat shield center, can still be so low-key!

From the beginning of late March to the present, the Lakers have been said to have become the ultimate giant combination of the first person in the three positions because of their good play, but since late March, the record is only 11-3, which is not as good as the Spurs.

And their Grizzlies, since the All-Star weekend, have lost 4 games, as many games as the Spurs have lost, and they are already considered "big villains".

Why is the Spurs so good and so low-key?

Sun Ce felt that this was too unfair!

Putting aside his personal emotions, Sun Ce felt the power of the Mavericks and Spurs, two veterans-dominated teams, from this live broadcast.

It is indeed very powerful, the head coaches of the two teams are probably the two best managers in the game, Carlisle is good at adjusting the details on the field, reacting on the spot, Popovich is also very good on the spot, and the pre-game arrangement is very strong, not losing to Zen master Phil Jackson.

The rotation adjustments and tactical changes of the two were vividly displayed in this game.

Watching the game from the perspective of fans, Sun Ce watched it very comfortably, and also saw the championship-level strength shown by these two teams when they carefully prepared how to deal with their opponents...... Sun Ce still doesn't understand, Popovich really wants to overtake the Lakers and wants home-court advantage, why is the Mavericks still seventh in the West? This is completely out of match with the quality they have shown.

……

After a night's rest, on April 11th, Sun Ce woke up the grandfather who was sleeping soundly in the morning, and after breakfast, Sun Ce took the grandfather, and the grandfather took homework, and followed the team to the American Airlines Center to prepare for tonight's game.

After the morning pregame meeting and tactical practice, the Mavericks also returned to Dallas from San Antonio.

After two days of rest, the Grizzlies began to rest after returning to Memphis, and there was no training scheduled in Dallas yesterday, and it was the last 11 games of the regular season, and Sun Ce and his teammates were gradually in high spirits.

Tired and tired, just survive it, and other teams are also tired, such as tonight's opponent Mavericks, who just fought with the Spurs yesterday to a critical moment, and still relied on Jason Terry to chase points and Yao Ming to lock up the victory in the final quarter, and they have a physical advantage tonight.

After the morning preparation, rest in the afternoon, gather at the American Airlines Arena at 4 o'clock, have dinner, warm up, and start the game at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Sun Ce took Zu Goose back to the hotel, ready to watch the video of last night's game between the Mavericks and the Spurs again, and get a clearer understanding of how the Mavericks played their recent games and what are the differences.

But when I went back to the hotel room and turned on the TV, it was the American cable TV sports channel that watched sports news last night, and it was broadcasting the NBA's press conference live, and the content was a rumor that began to flow at the beginning of the season, and there were rumors a few days ago that David Stern was about to make a decision, and Sun Ce also learned from the team management that the owner has been staying in New York since April, not only their Grizzlies owners, but also the owners of various teams in the league have gathered in New York, just to discuss with the league who the next president is, Voting and so on.

The decision was finally officially announced today!

In the press room of the NBA headquarters in Manhattan, New York, David Stern actually wore a cap printed with the NBA logo today, facing the world's sports media, and announced to the camera of the American cable TV station that broadcast the press conference live: "Ladies and gentlemen, at the fifth NBA president draft, David Stern chose the NBA's most talented business genius, Adam Silva!"

On February 1, 2014, the last day of my 30-year tenure as president, I will step down as NBA commissioner, and Adam will continue to lead the NBA forward, and I believe Adam will lead the NBA to new glory. ”

After saying that, it was really like a draft, Adam Silva walked up and shook hands with David Stern, who took off his hat and put a ...... on Adam Silva

Seeing that David Stern is about to retire, people have become much more lively, and there is a moment of silence for this old man: you will be angry to death in the future!

God knows what will become of the NBA in the future, anyway, he is not afraid of someone, just play his ball, and talk about it later, if you really don't like the school flower in the future, then keep playing to see who can't bear the retirement first!

Looking at the special skills that he transformed from the characteristics of Stockton, his grandson is currently 22 years old, David Stern has decided to retire at 72, and he just saw that the school flower is currently 50 years old, 22 years...... Boiling can boil him to death!

……

……

On the other side, Manhattan Island, New York, the headquarters of the NBA.

After the press conference, David Stern left early.

Human beings have always been very realistic, and when David Stern didn't decide when he would retire, he sneezed in the crowd, and I don't know how many people came to shush him.

Now maybe even if he is seriously ill, it is estimated that he will become a doorman.

And Adam Silva, who returned to the office area, has become the object of attraction among major league officials at the NBA headquarters.

Stu Jackson, who lost the bid for the presidency position, also left early, and Mark Tatum, who is expected to take over the position of vice president of commercial operations of the alliance after Adam Silva succeeds him as president, said after Adam Silva accepted the sycophants of his colleagues: "Adam, let's have a party tonight to celebrate!" ”

This is said to the hearts of colleagues, it is not good to do it like this, drink two glasses

"We've been busy this year, there's no need to waste time celebrating me, everyone should do their jobs early and rest early, and the future of the alliance depends on us working together, not me alone."

Adam Silva himself was touched by what he said, but a few would believe it...... He doesn't care, the face project must be done well.

Back in his office, sending the secretary away, and closing the door, Adam Silva finally burst out laughing.

That thin voice, if there is someone, will definitely be frightened to the creepy.

After smiling for a while, Adam Silva looked at the piles of gifts in his office, and since the owners of the teams came to New York at the beginning of the month and began to hear that he was going to succeed him as NBA commissioner, he received many teams, many agents, and many TV stations and newspaper editors...... There were even gifts from some of the players.

The voting of the team owners has ended the other day, and it has been confirmed that he will be the next president, but in the past few days, David Stern has been thinking about exactly when he will retire, which has left Adam Silva unoccupied to see what exactly he has received and does not care.

David Stern has never said when he will retire, which has kept Adam Silva calm, and now it is finally confirmed that he will be able to sit in the position he has been waiting for for more than ten years in less than two years.

Looking at this pile of gifts now, Adam Silva looked so cool, and rummaged through the gifts, there was a fresh fruit basket that just arrived this morning, a watch from James, and a lifetime VIP from a nightclub given by Cable TV owner James Dolan...... There is also a candy basket, which was written as a gift from Sun Ce.

This made Adam Silva a little surprised, James can be a man, he gave a brand-name watch Adam Silva didn't think it was strange, Sun Ce actually gave a gift.

It just so happened that he was very excited now, and Adam Silva wanted to eat something sweet, so he picked up the beautifully packaged box in the middle of the candy basket and opened it to be candy balls.

Take one apart and put it in your mouth...... It's delicious! I put this box of candy in my briefcase......
