Chapter 327: Can you win the championship?

NBA officials soon announced the latest rookie rankings:
1. Dirk Nowitzki of the Nets, 18.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists
2. Vince Carter of the Raptors, 18.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists
3. Paul Pierce of the Celtics, 16.4 moves, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists
4. Mike Bibby of the Grizzlies, 13.2 points, 6.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds
5. Jason Williams of the Kings, 12.8 points, 6 assists, 3.1 rebounds
6. Catino Mobley, 76ers, 9.9 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists
…
9. Warriors' Antoine Jamison, 9.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 0.7 assists
10. Olowo Kandi of the Clippers, 8.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.2 blocks
...
With his 30+10 performance against the 76ers in the previous game, Nowitzki successfully rose from the original second place to the first place on the rookie list, ranking ahead of Vince Carter!
Also because of this ranking, many media people are even more lively.
"Dirk conquered the entire league with his own efforts!"
"This is what a coach said that playing is too soft!"
"German tanks are growing too fast and too fiercely!"
The media is raging, but this raging makes people feel a little impetuous.
It was also from this day that the atmosphere of the alliance changed and became a little different.
...
On April 9, the Philadelphia 76ers took the Boston Celtics back-to-back away.
86-83
Iverson scored 31 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists.
Li Nan scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.
Pierce 32 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists
However, some media reported this way after the game.
"Paul Pierce slashed 32+7+7, the Celtics unfortunately lost by 3 points!"
"A new dawn in Boston has appeared!"
"The rookie of the season is undoubtedly Paul Pierce!"
"Fight against the Philadelphia Twins! Paul Pierce is a glorious defeat!"
"Paul is the real Jordan's successor!"
In fact, Pierce did not perform well today. His score is very high 32 points. However, he was piled up by playing time and shots. Playing 40 minutes, 12 of 32 shots, 7 of 10 free throws. And many opportunities are scored in rotation time.
Moreover, today's game was not as intense as the score saw. Three minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides was 15 points. The reason why it becomes 3 points is that Pierce grabbed a lot of points in the garbage time.
However, when it came to the media, the taste changed. How good was it to become Pierce.
Of course, this is not just the Celtics, not just Pierce alone. Nowitzki of the Nets, Mike Bibby of the Grizzlies, Vince Carter of the Raptors...
"Dirk, the next Larry Bird!"
"Mike Bibby, the magician on the court!"
"Flyer Vince Carter!"
Of course, it's not just rookies.
Duncan of the Mavericks, Webber of the Kings, Hardaway of the Magic...
"Tim Duncan Blood Cap Kevin Garnett!"
"Webber led the king to defeat the Purple and Gold Legion!"
"Hadaway put out the Heat by himself!"
Star players appear more frequently in the news media.
Every day in newspapers, television, radio, you can see him, him, him or his unparalleled performance.
Every day during the day, everyone can see all kinds of pre-match propaganda such as "Rocket Trident fights Jazz Black and White!"
Within a few days, the NBA seemed to have entered its heyday.
...
Wachovia Center, Philadelphia, in the boss's office.
The boss, Pat Cross, looked at the financial statements of last month in his hand, and he was really happy.
He shoots movies outside every month, and when he comes back, he can see a large amount of income, which is really good.
However, Greenberg felt that it was not enough! As an ambitious general manager, Greenberg feels that the current 76ers' revenue is not enough.
His goal is to turn the 76ers into giants like the Lakers and Celtics. What about the value of the team must be hundreds of millions?
Recently, other teams are engaged in publicity and sentiments.
A big-bodied team like the Raptors put up a "flying man" propaganda to sell Vince Carter who was detained. They even have to be trained as Jordan. Another successor to Jordan! Jordan's annoying successor.
However, they just promoted Carter. Tickets for the Raptors have been rising this month, and they have sold more than a few percent.
Seeing this, Greenberg was naturally jealous.
So Greenberg said to the boss:
"Boss, should we also add some input?"
Pat Cross suddenly became cold from his face of joy.
"No! No! We are number one in the league! Number one in the league is the biggest advertisement! So, we don't need this!"
"But~"
Greenberg wanted to say something, but Pat Cross interrupted him.
"Brad~"
These are three words with earnest words, but Greenberg saw a cold boss, a little strange.
After waiting for a while, Pat Cross said the following.
"Be cautious in everything, know how to constrain, and don't just look at your own interests."
Hearing this, Greenberg trembled. To die, to die, to be discovered, to be discovered.
Greenberg lowered his head involuntarily, waiting for the boss' final judgment.
However, the imagined situation did not appear.
Patcross was silent for a while, then suddenly asked:
"Brad, do you think we can really win this year?"
Can you win the championship?
Greenberg didn't know. However, the answer now is that it must be possible!
"Yes! Of course we can win! No one can stop us from winning without Michael Jordan."
"Then you said, if we win the championship, how much can the team be worth?"
"Yeah~"
When it comes to this, Greenberg has a lot of inspiration.
"The New York Knicks encountered a financial crisis in 1997, when they sold to Dolan at a price of 30 million U.S. dollars. If we win the championship this year, the market value will naturally rise. 50 million, no! 80 million! Even 100 million. I think they are all very reasonable!"
While speaking, Greenberg also gave out the blueprint he had thought about for a long time.
"Also, boss, listen to me. If our team continues to win the championship next year, then we will be the most gold-sucking team in the league. By then, the market value will be 200 million, 300 million, four. Billion! From now on, our 76ers will also be giants..."
Seeing Greenberg's grand plan, Pat Cross also smiled "hen~" and patted him on the shoulder.
"Come on! Brad! You must be the team's hero and veteran by then!"
"Yes! Boss! I will definitely work hard!"
As long as you don’t remember my fault, the boss~EbookFREE.me~ I will definitely be stunned!
Greenberg looked forward to the future with a red face...
...
The management staff in the town sit back and relax, while the Philadelphia 76ers flying outside are exhausted every day. However, fortunately, the record is good, and the mood is also beautiful.
On May 3, the 76ers won the Wizards at home, and the team's total record came to 37 wins and 12 losses, locking the league first in advance!
"Win! We won!"
"Yeah! We are number one in the league!"
"Ah! We are the 76ers!!!"
The whole stadium was packed with excited fans...
