Chapter 166: Fake match

After the eighth playoff battle in the East ended, there were several other games that attracted attention.
Battle for the bottom of the list! That is the lottery lottery battle!
Celtics 19-62,
Spurs 19-62,
Mavericks 19-62,
Nuggets 20-61,
Of course, the penultimate Grizzlies, 14-68, have already determined their inferior status, and no one can catch up. Everyone can only compete for second place!
And these four teams happened to meet today.
Celtics vs. Nuggets,
Mavericks vs Spurs.
Then, the "interesting" game appeared.
Four teams actually played match-fixing openly! Others are vying to win, but their four teams are rushing to lose!
The first Celtics Nuggets game.
The Nuggets broke down and vowed to give their opponents a victory. They mobilized three players who were not on the 12-man roster all the year round, and arranged for the starting liner to be replaced directly after only 1 minute on the bench.
The Celtics played at home, and they had to use this trick.
Both sides brazenly played negatively.
Unfortunately, the Celtics were recruited.
56-63,
The Celtics failed to beat the "lower limit" of the Nuggets and accidentally ate this "hard-won" victory.
It was also with this victory that the Celtics were squeezed to fifth from the bottom.
...
In another game, the Spurs played against the Mavericks.
The Alliance also had lessons learned from the Celtics and the Nuggets, and issued an announcement before the battle.
Negative competition is strictly prohibited.
There are policies and measures to counter.
Don Nelson and Bubvić also met before the game.
"Don, that old man Stern is targeting us. We have to think of a way."
"Greg, I know you already have an idea, just say it."
Bubvitch shook his eyebrows and smiled, "Tang, you still know me best. What a pity, if you came to us at the beginning, it would be nice if we are both cheap and cheap, we will surely sweep the world."
Bubvić sighed.
Don Nelson was unmoved.
Of course he knows Bubvić, this is a villain, a scheming villain.
"Hurry up."
Don Nelson is getting a little impatient.
Bubvić stopped sighing with regret, and said, "Tang, we are like this..."
Tacit ball?
"Then how to arrange the final victory?"
Don Nelson raised the most critical question.
"Hehehe, I'll have my own abilities this time." Bubvić's mouth crooked.
Don Nelson smiled, but he muttered in his heart: I believe you are a ghost.
...
The game started soon.
Sure enough, the two sides played vigorously as soon as they played.
Sure enough, the scene was very lively, making people really think that both sides will desperately win the game. It makes people think that this is a team competing for the playoffs.
The fans at the scene were very happy and the tickets were worth it.
As a result, in the fourth quarter, the two sides' game style suddenly changed in a "tacit" manner.
Popovich on the sidelines took a look at Don Nelson on the stage.
"Tang, you really know me."
Don Nelson on the other side also smiled and nodded, "I knew you guys would play tricks."
Then, the blatant negative game appeared again. Both sides did not want to win, all kinds of stupid actions appeared.
The dribble went out of bounds on the feet, and accidentally passed the ball to the opponent's hands. The shot was weak and weak, and he forgot that it would be halftime in eight seconds...
The fans at the scene suddenly began to scold their mother.
"F@#￥!"
"What kind of game!"
"Refund! Refund! Refund!"
Only 9438 spectators came to the Spurs home court today, but the collective shouts were exceptionally loud, and the sound seemed to rush to the ceiling of the arena.
On the sidelines, Bubvić hugged his arms and looked indifferent.
This is all for the future of the team!
However, at this moment, someone on the court couldn't stand it anymore.
"Wow!"
"Dominic! Go!"
Wilkins thumped and dunked on the court, showing his veteran style.
The Mavericks Michael Finley is not to be outdone, and is tit-for-tat against Wilkins.
The two sides fought against each other, you come and I will not lose to anyone.
On the sidelines, someone kept shouting and spreading their hands, "What are you doing? Dominic? What are you doing?"
Bubvić tried to persuade him not to listen, but called a timeout.
"Replace me?"
Wilkins stared at Bubovich fiercely, he had had enough.
Every time the game is about the same, he can gradually get more points to help the team win, but every time he is replaced by this old guy. What kind of team should be balanced, what should give others a chance, are all nonsense!
"You're a fart basketball!"
Smashing the drink in his hand to the ground, Wilkins walked into the player aisle without looking back.
He hadn't wanted to play this dull game. With this team, he didn't want to stay anymore.
...
Beep beep!
78-70
The Mavericks won!
Don Nelson was shamelessly losing to Bubovic.
After the game, the two old men met again.
Don Nelson squinted slightly.
"Greg, good luck."
Bubvić was a victor, and smiled, "You are the same."
In the past few years, the team that has won the No. 1 pick is not necessarily the team with the penultimate record~EbookFREE.me~ They all have a chance, and they have a very big chance to win the No. 1 pick.
