In the 2009 NBA playoffs, the first game of the Western Conference Finals, in the Staples Center arena, Kobe Bryant and Gasol, leading the revival of the superpower team Los Angeles Lakers, are fighting against Steve Nash and his eternal Suns.

The style of this game is completely different from the Eastern game, which is a meat grinder-style defensive battle on the eastern side. The dark defensive wind shrouded the stadium, and the terrifying coercion made the fans a little breathless.

On the Celtics side, everyone is familiar with it, from Rondo to Ray Allen, from Garnett to Perkins, the Celtics have defensive gates inside and outside, and there is more than one. Pierce, who is relatively less defensive in the starting lineup, also has a knack for defending power-oriented perimeter players.

Moreover, with Pierce's offensive strength, even if he suffers a little loss on the defensive end, he can get it back on the offensive end.

On the Philadelphia 76ers' side, although they played a dazzling offensive frenzy in the regular season, if you think about it, their lineup is not weak at all on the defensive end.

Perimeter Lowry and Iguodala are defensive machines, and any perimeter player has to shed a layer of skin to get past them. In the league, I am afraid that there are only a few people such as LeBron and Kobe Bryant who dare to pat their chests and say that these two guys can't defend themselves.

On the inside of Philadelphia, Chen Mu is not a real superstar on the defensive end, but his personal defensive strength has been recognized. Moreover, Chen Mu's rebounding has largely improved his already good defensive strength and role on the court.

To talk about shortcomings, Philadelphia's defensive weaknesses are in the number two and number five positions. And these two points, now with Carney and Milicic as the starters, can actually rely on the mobility of Chen Mu, Iguodala, and Lowry to make up for it.

So the Eastern Conference Finals have become a suffocating defensive stage. It has become extremely difficult for both teams to score above each other's heads, and in this case, Chen Mu can still score 30+20 data performance, which is even more worthy of praise.

Western style. Completely different.

The Lakers and the Suns, both teams have good defensive players, and the Lakers' Kobe Bryant, how many first-defense honors are proof. If Bynum stays healthy, he is also a gate-level defensive stalwort.

Dwight Howard on the Suns' side, who has just won the title of DPOY, is also able to protect the Suns' restricted area to a large extent.

Fans who are familiar with these two teams know that the Lakers and Suns have long infiltrated the gorgeous offense into their bone marrow.

THE LAKERS HAVE COME ALL THE WAY FROM SHOWTIME, AND EVEN MORE IN THE DISTANT PAST. McCann, Chamberlain, and others are also offensive maniacs. The Lakers' center tradition permeates every pore of them, and as long as they wear the money jersey, they seem to have received an offensive buff bonus.

The Suns are even more distinctive, and this team is on the NBA court what the Dutch team is on the football field. There's no shortage of superstars, there's no shortage of flashy offense, but they're always a bit off that damn trophy.

Under Nash's urging, the Suns fought fiercely with the Lakers on the road. The two teams played a wonderful game. The offensive end is wide open and close. The wonderful picture on the defensive end is either a quick steal or a shocking hot pot, and the fans who watched it were addicted.

Both styles of play have their own highlights, and they are also after the dark defensive era has passed. The biggest point of difference between East and West is here. Looking at the Eastern Conference Finals, it's about how superstars play super under high pressure. Watching the Western Conference Finals, it is to see how basketball passes gracefully back and forth in the hands of ten people and sends wonderful offenses.

Speaking of which. Naturally, the western game is more pleasing to the eyes of the audience. But the iron-blooded defense in the east has also attracted the attention of many old fans.

In the end, the Lakers defended their dignity at home. Won 111-104 over the Suns. Los Angeles picked up their first win of the year in the Western Conference finals.

That night, Philadelphia.

"You're moving so fast!"

Sitting in the rental room, Chen Mu looked at the guest who was staring at him with a complicated expression not far away, nodded with a smile, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the coffee machine and said, "Have a cup?" ”

"Okay, okay."

Planck nodded desperately, as if he went against Chen Mu's intentions, which would make Chen Mu very unhappy, and then no longer give him valuable news.

After brewing coffee, Chen Mu gave Planck and Duffy a cup each, and he walked to the freezer and took out a bottle of mineral water, opened it with a crisp sound, and drank it in a big gulp.

"Don't like coffee?"

Planck asked.

"Like, who doesn't love coffee?" Chen Mu shook his head and said, "But tomorrow is going to be a game, if you can't sleep well with coffee tonight, you will be slaughtered by Boston tomorrow." ”

"Okay, good ......"

Planck nodded, sipping his coffee as he looked around.

It's not the first time I've come, but the last time I came, Planck's mood was extreme, either contemptuous or excited, and he hadn't carefully looked at Chen Mu's living state.

After reading it, I found that it was really ......

"This house isn't good......!" Planck spoke.

"yes, so I'm going to move." Chen Mu said with a smile.

"Still in Philadelphia?"

"Nonsense, I'm a Philadelphia player, if I don't go to Philadelphia, can I move to Las Vegas?" Chen Mu was amused by Planck.

"Right...... right"

I don't know why, when Planck saw Chen Mu today, he was extraordinarily restrained, and he completely lost the arrogance in his bones when the big boss saw the small role before. Rather, they are a little timid, like a weasel that has been caught by its tail.

"Got in touch with Stephen and Blake?"

Planck didn't open his mouth, Chen Mu simply got straight to the point, and raised the conversation himself: "How is it?" Is it much different from what I said? ”

“…… Almost exactly the same! ”

As soon as it came to business, Planck immediately became interested and said excitedly: "Stephen has indeed always had injury problems, and one of his ankles seems to be showing signs of habitual sprain. We've talked to him in general, and while he's been a great NCAA this season, he's only been in contact with NIKE so far. A formal endorsement contract is still being negotiated, and the estimated amount will not be too high. ”

"Well, remember, I told you, don't strike too early." Chen Mu nodded and said, "I'll talk about it after I observe it carefully." ”

"Understood, understood." Planck nodded desperately, "And then there's Blake, who does have a problem with his left kneecap as well." Now the Clippers have the top pick. It's definitely going to be Blake. ”

"WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH BLAKE AND HE'S NOW OWNED BY JORDAN-TEAM. However, NIKE is obviously also a little hesitant about his knee injury, after all, there are examples of Amare, Jason and others in front, and knee injuries are very fatal for explosive players. ”

"Has your team analyzed it? Is it technically possible to make a perfect protection? Chen Mu asked.

"It's been roughly analyzed, but because we can't pull Stephen and Blake directly into the lab to test them right now, we can't pack tickets." Planck replied, "But my technical team said that it should be possible to make targeted improvements to the product." ”

"BETTER THAN WHAT NIKE CAN OFFER?"

"DEFINITELY BETTER THAN NIKE CAN OFFER!" Planck looked confident.

"That's good, everything is going well, that's it." Chen Mu smiled: "Let's take Blake down after the new season starts." Use as long as possible. ”

"Well, here's the problem......"

After Chen Mu finished speaking, Planck's face changed, and he said with a little embarrassment: "You know, Blake's words...... He still has some questions about our brand. ”

"Players always want their sneakers and other peripheral products to sell as much as possible, so that they can get as much dividends as possible!" Chen Mu was not surprised, nodded and said, "In the basketball field, you are a new brand. Whether it is the ability to distribute goods, the number of stores, or the awareness of fans, there is no way to compare with NIKE. Blake if nothing else. Sooner or later, you're going to become a big star, and it's normal to have doubts about your ability to distribute. ”

"So, we talked about the idea of wanting to cooperate, whether it was himself or his agent. are not very interested in the look. Planck scratched his head and said, "It's just that you know, the kind of politeness that comes on the surface, and says, 'Okay, okay, we'll definitely consider it.'" But in fact, you can tell as soon as you look at their eyes that they can't think about it. ”

"Didn't I read the instructions I gave you carefully?"

Planck came in the hope that Chen Mu could use his influence in the alliance to blow the wind in Griffin's ears. Who knew that his question had just been asked, but Chen Mu asked a rhetorical question first, and the rhetorical question was quite sharp.

"Look...... Look! ”

Planck nodded hurriedly, his eyes opened, and said, "I've read every word!" ”

"What do I say about Blake? Memorize it to me? ”

"This ......"

Chen Mu's way of questioning is too sharp, the key is that a business super rookie like Planck, how many years has he not heard someone talk to him like this? Unable to react at once, Planck was like a student in class who had been stopped by a question from a teacher, his mouth was open, and he couldn't say a word.

"I told you, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, follow our plan step by step, why don't you listen?"

Chen Mu "has to inch in", clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned forward, and said with a critical face: "Now Blake is just a hidden danger of injury, do you understand the hidden danger?" Hidden dangers are not something that will necessarily happen, at this point in time, whether it is NIKE or Blake himself, they will definitely not easily give up the things that have already shown signs and turn to a risky choice. ”

"The time has not come, don't worry, when the time comes, with your business sense, you will definitely notice it."

After speaking, Chen Mu pointed to the coffee machine again and said with a smile: "Another cup?" ”

“…… Uh, no. ”

Chen Mu woke up the dreamer with a word, Planck's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, he got up and nodded respectfully at Chen Mu and said, "It's not polite, but really thank you, Chen." ”

"As a businessman, I have forgotten such basic business principles, and I need you to remind me how to do it, which is my dereliction of duty."

Planck continued with an admiring smile on his face: "You're right, I'm too anxious, I'll leave this matter to me in the future, you are a major shareholder, you shouldn't ask you about this kind of operational matter." And ......"

As he spoke, Planck reached out and patted Chen Mu on the shoulder, and said with an appreciative expression: "If you really enter the business field, you will definitely be a genius." ”

It's not easy to be a boss!

Chen Mu smiled and didn't say much, but got up and sent Planck and Duffy out of the house.

Before leaving, Planck also had a storm in his head.

How could I have forgotten such a simple principle?

What is the most important thing to do business? Fund? Strength? Brain? Means?

Neither.

In business, the most important thing is timing.

It is necessary to grasp the most critical opportunity steadily in order to really do a good business.

Chinese boy, what an amazing guy......!

The door was closed, and Planck outside the house was still lamenting Chen Mu's genius idea of planning and then acting, while inside the house, Chen Mu returned to the bed with a lucky face and lay on the bed.

Damn, you actually came to ask me about this kind of thing, I know a lot about things in the mall!

You Planck knows a chicken feather, if Lao Tzu didn't know what would happen in the future, could he give you a suggestion?

Business wizard? Lao Tzu is a cheating wizard!

Next, let's prepare for the game first! (To be continued.) )
