Chapter 589: Do They Really Not Care?
On January 3, Ji Guosha made a comeback, and the two brothers combined to score 61 points, and the Clippers defeated the Rockets away.
Ji Guoqiu contributed 24 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, Ji Guoyi had 37 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, and Billups scored 12 points and 9 assists.
On January 5, the Clippers slaughtered the Trail Blazers by 25 points at home, and the two brothers called it a day after three quarters and easily won their 31st victory.
Ji Guoqiu contributed 12 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, and Ji Guoqiu had 28 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.
After the Clippers defeated the Rockets, the NBA's official website couldn't help but headline on the front page - Who can sink the Clippers?
Maybe in your mind, the "Cosmos Team" has only Barcelona.
But now, there is also a team in the NBA that makes the earthlings helpless: the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers beat the Rockets to extend their winning streak to 31 games, two games away from tying the Lakers' 33-game winning streak and bringing their road winning streak to 15, just one short of the Lakers' 1971-72 road winning streak.
So, among the opponents of the Clippers in the next three games, which team can come out of nowhere to take on the "iceberg" responsibility?
But seriously, it's easier said than done to get past the Animal Brothers.
Two days later, the Clippers will face the Lakers again at home, and the Clippers, who have won 31 in a row, will have to beat their sworn enemies, and the next two opponents are the Heat and Grizzlies, and it will not be difficult for the Clippers to defeat these two teams. This means that if the Lakers want to prevent the Clippers from overtaking them, they must completely sink the Clippers on the 7th to end the latter's winning streak. Otherwise, the Clippers will have a good chance of breaking the Lakers' 33-game winning streak and 16-game winning streak on the road.
In the game with the Rockets, Ji Guoyi contributed 28 points in the third quarter, and the fox brother after his comeback is still the leader in the scoring list, Durant only scored 11 points under the Jazz's defense not long ago, and now the gap between the two has been pulled down by more than one point.
After the game, the fox brother was still unsatisfied and made no secret of his ambitions, saying: "Iverson and Kobe are old, I think I will become the new scoring champion." Not just one session. I'm going to learn from Michael's seniors and try to make it to just one person on the scoring charts for the next 10 years β and that's me. β
Durant may be in a hurry when he hears this, but he is facing a strong defensive team. It is true that he does not have the outstanding ability to cut points like Ji Guoyi. Oklahoma's media believes that this is Ji Guo's shame on the team's strong advantage, and the Panda brother attracts defense for him on the inside, so he does not face as much defensive intensity in the game as Durant, so he can lead the scoring list.
There is some truth to this reasoning. But the world will always be judged by success or failure. At the beginning, many people thought that Jordan borrowed Pippen's light. But after so many years, Jordan is still the god of basketball in the eyes of fans, but how good Pippen was at that time, I'm afraid not many people know anymore.
Moreover, the second brother Pi later appeared in the Rockets, which proved Jordan's greatness.
When it comes to Pi's second brother's contract, the media outside Los Angeles can now disgust the Clippers only with the annual salary of the two brothers.
In 1991, although Batman was famous at that time, it was not as thunderous as it was later. The manager of the bull, who looks like a kung fu panda, has a good heart, and Jian Yì Pippen signs a short contract. It is convenient to increase the price later. But the second brother Pi has no ambition, coupled with a back injury, for fear that the team will be paralyzed once and will not give money to provide for the elderly, and he only wants to get a long-term contract. The panda manager and the flying man did not obey each other, and finally finalized it, 20 million in 7 years, and Yu Lu from the second year from high to low.
At that time, Jordan's contract was only 7 years and 23 million, and Pippen was naturally happy. I never thought that the world is impermanent, and the vicissitudes of life. In a few years, the contract price in the alliance rose desperately like the price of housing prices, oil and meat in China later, and even the likes of Second Uncle Huo could make a contract of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the bat was angry and regretful. I had to think that I was unlucky, and from then on, a donkey face looked even more terrifying.
But the media also knows that now the two brothers are definitely not bad for money, last year they were able to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy a game studio, and now the brothers' mobile phones are selling all over the world, and it is impossible to know how much net worth there is. But you don't put millions of dollars into account.
The brothers' company has never been listed, although they will be able to get more financial backing and the stock price will skyrocket, doubling their net worth. But Ji Guoqiu said very early on that "the essence of the capital market is greed, and if you really want to do a good job, you don't have to be listed."
"The benefits of going public are nothing more than collecting money and getting the funds needed to develop the business. But if you go public, the environment will be different, you have to be responsible for the shareholders, you have to ensure that the stock continues to rise, and profits will become the only purpose of the company's deposit. Such a business will become impetuous, as impetuous and greedy as today's society. And I don't want noise to interfere with the business, interfere with my plans, interfere with my dreams. I knew exactly what I wanted to do and what I wanted. We don't have the ambition to make our company a Fortune 500 company, we just want to do what we love, we just want to make something that is in line with our philosophy. β
In fact, whether abroad or at home, there are a large number of people who insist on not going public with their companies, because they know very well what they want and they have their own ideas.
The Wall Street Journal has always had a sharp nose, and on January 5, just after the Clippers beat the Rockets, they revealed the exciting news that the Animal Brothers were interested in buying the New Jersey Nets.
The news is exciting enough, although it has not been confirmed, but the Wall Street Journal has its own exclusive information, and they claim to have received rumors that this time it is not the twin brothers themselves, but the father-in-law of the panda brothers.
The incident occurred last November, when a New York State District Court ruled that a group of Brooklyn tenants, landlords and environmental groups had not established a challenge to the Nets owner, who had the right to acquire land for the new home court in Brooklyn and the surrounding real estate development as a whole.
However, the government requires that the new arena invested by the Nets owner must break ground by June 10, otherwise it will incur heavy taxes and fines for breach of contract. And if construction doesn't start before June, it will be difficult for the Nets to make their debut at the new arena in 2013 as planned.
The current owner of the Nets is New York real estate developer Ratner, who has been planning to move the team to Brooklyn since he joined the Nets. According to the original plan, the Nets were going to move into their new home court in Brooklyn this year, but their overall development plan in Brooklyn has been legally challenged by tenants, landlords and environmental groups, so the foundation for the new arena has not been laid. Over time, the investment in this development has risen to $4.9 billion. Every day of delay is a loss of countless dollars.
Ratner has invested among the most in the U.S. in this development, including real estate development in addition to the new arena, and Ratner plans to build 16 high-rise towers around the arena. 6,430 housing units will be provided, and these are Ratner's main goals, and the arena is nothing more than the key to his house.
In order to raise funds as much as possible, Ratner began looking for a partner at the end of last year. He couldn't afford to complete the arena because of the investment in the entire development plan, so he was ready to throw the Nets out of the new arena in exchange for money to build 16 buildings. So in November last year, the two brothers had already made contact with Ratner.
The two sides had already signed the agreement secretly in November last year. The two brothers launched their father-in-law, buying a 90 percent stake in the Nets for $500 million and a 50 percent stake in the Nets' new arena in Brooklyn, the Buckles Center.
The NBA has a clear rule that active players cannot own any team shares, so the owner of the Nets is Emma. Roberts. However, Ji Guoqiu has already made an agreement with his fiancΓ©e, and after he and Dead Fox retire, the shares of the Nets will be officially transferred to them.
The proposed acquisition will be submitted to the league in January, and they will officially become the Nets' behind-the-scenes owners once two-thirds of the NBA's owners raise their hands to agree before the end of the season. Both of them believed. No one will oppose this proposal, and many team owners are now looking at the Clippers and Sterling as unpleasant, so they will not vote against it at this time.
Now hearing the news, the only one who is in a hurry is Sterling.
Old Ass couldn't do anything about it, but he also planned it, even if the two brothers secretly bought a team, he would never let them go. Before the expiration of the second contract, the two little bunnies did not want to leave, and after the contract expired in 2011, he would not hesitate to match any offer.
However. I don't know if I was so angry when I heard the news, that night Sterling found out that his girlfriend Steviano had uploaded a photo with Magic Johnson on Instagram, and immediately became furious, scolding her for not mixing with black people, not taking black people to see Clippers games, and not spreading black things...... and so on.
"It bothers me that you want to spread the word that you're in a relationship with black people. Do you have to do this? You can sleep with black people, you can take them home, you can do whatever you want. My little request to you is not to spread it...... Don't bring them into my game. Don't put him on Instagram to let the world know. β
Sterling made a phone call for ten minutes, but he never thought that an 80-year-old man like him on Steviano's list would naturally not have any real feelings in it. Every time the two use their mobile phones to talk, the latter will record it when he has the opportunity to use it when the time is right.
Steviano didn't get what she really wanted on Sterling, the old slammer. Sterling is not good at stubble, how could he not know this woman's mind, so until now, the house worth four million that she lives in may be repossessed by Sterling at any time.
Sterling is almost out of interest in her, Steviano knows that once she is dumped by the old man, it is basically impossible to go to other rich people, she is not a woman with a superb appearance, and it is a second-hand product used by Sterling, an eighty-year-old man, so no one will be interested.
Women's hearts are much more hated than men, and Sterling may not have said so many wrong things as usual, but he was first angered by the news of the Wall Street Journal, and then he was furious by this photo, and he didn't find that his girlfriend deliberately led him to say it in this direction.
On January 7, the Clippers played the Lakers at home today, and Sterling did not know that he was about to face catastrophe, and today the eyes of the whole world are focused on this game.
Whether the Clippers can break the bluffing 33-game winning streak depends on whether they can win or lose.
The day before the game, Nicholson faced the media and asked: 33 consecutive wins, why the Clippers?
Reach. On the day of the race, Bundan wrote: "The key is the Animal Brothers, who are the most dominant combination in the last 20 years.
As the defending champions, it's no surprise that the Clippers are playing well, but it's shocking to be playing so well.
Reach. According to Bundan, the current Clippers are almost invincible: "The team is basically healthy and has a full lineup. The duo has played at a level that has been very rare in the past 20 years, and the two brothers' skills are still improving this season, and they are very comprehensive and extremely lethal at critical moments. I don't think there are more than 10 players who have reached this level in the last 20 years. From the perspective of the Clippers as a team, this is a team with very clear goals and a championship ambition. Defending their title last season has increased their level of champions and made them more confident. Extreme desire and special self-confidence have made this team super stable, so it is indeed not surprising to reach the current winning streak. β
Reach. Bundan said he is optimistic that the Clippers will break the NBA record of 33 consecutive wins, "In terms of strength, there is no team in the entire league that can compete with them; In terms of morale, the Clippers are now united and motivated. "Yes, there's always an element of luck in the game, but unless something really big happens, I think the Clippers are likely to set a new NBA winning streak, and they deserve it."
Long before the Clippers and Rockets game, Byron. Davis was asked what he thought of the Clippers' winning streak, and the beard said: "I really didn't really impress me with their appearance, and for me, it's more important that we are in the current state of the team and how we should come together as a team." β
When asked if he wanted the Clippers to maintain their winning streak against them, Davis replied, "I really don't care. I want them to lose the rest of the season, but all I care about is our team right now. β
Kobe Bryant naturally couldn't escape the same question, Peter Pan said: "The Clippers are difficult to beat now, but we don't care too much about their winning streak, we just need to play our own game, no matter how many consecutive wins they have, it won't affect us." β
The Zen master, like the team members, is more concerned about the Lakers' own performance than whether the Clippers can continue their winning streak. "I don't care. Whether they continue their winning streak or if it is ended, we have to meet them. We'll be ready, and I'm sure they'll be ready too. β
Ji Guoyi said: "It can be seen that they are under more pressure than us. Also, don't listen to them, how could the Lakers not care? If it turns around, I'll definitely try to end their winning streak. If they really don't care, then they have lost the confidence to be our enemy, so I hope they don't care, but do they really not care? β
The words of the fox brother made the Lakers players very embarrassed, this guy obviously increased the psychological burden on the Lakers players and increased the pressure on their game, but at the moment the Clippers are indeed more confident than the Lakers, and the Lakers are playing away from home today, so the shape is really not good.
