Chapter 354

Whether it is Chicago or Miami, when they learned that the Los Angeles Clippers advanced, they were happy in their hearts. Compared to the Lakers, the Clippers are easier to play.

And when they knew that Chris Paul scrapped three important Clippers rotations in the last game, this joy could not be restrained.

"It's really God's mercy."

At the Miami training camp, Chris Bosh shouted excitedly. Playing the Clippers was already something they were looking forward to, and when the Clippers would have three players missing from the finals, he didn't pretend anymore.

"No, you should thank Chris Paul first."

Dwyane Wade said lightly.

James also raised his eyebrows, he was very happy, he said: "Brothers, the top priority now is to kill the Chicago Bulls, we can't let the war drag on endlessly like this."

Last night, LeBron talked on the Internet until two in the morning, and he was still in high spirits when he appeared in the training hall this morning. He is worthy of being the basketball player with the strongest physical quality in the league today.

Since the end of last night's game, James has been expressing his views on his Internet homepage.

"Based on my understanding of Chris, he is definitely not the kind of player who hurts people behind his back. I think it was just an accident, Stephen is also my good friend, I wish him health and peace."

"There are always some impulsive moments on the court, Chris did irrational behavior, but I believe he did it entirely based on the protection of his teammates. Anyone who sees a teammate may be hurt will rush up to stop it. This is probably why Chris is called the league's best point guard, he is a true leader."

LeBron James expressed his two views.

Moreover, he also debated with commenters in the comments. He always believed that his good brother was innocent, and pointedly believed that the league should severely punish court violence.

When some fans pointed out that he was too subjective. He replied under this comment: Shut up, you are not a basketball player at all.

Interestingly, under this comment by James, Leonard replied with his personal account: Shut up, you were not at the scene at all.

This is very rare, Leonard almost never expresses opinions on the Internet, and he is also a man of few words.

But obviously, even he, who is like this, could not bear LeBron's "fair comments".

However, this comment was soon deleted, including James's reply, and the original comment.

When a league signature superstar like LeBron James ran out to talk about this matter, the controversy in the media was even more surging.

Jean Bas is implementing her declaration. She used a lot of media resources, she let the media crazily attack Jimmy Butler's vicious behavior, intending to let the league suspend Kwame Brown and Jimmy Butler for a long time.

The Clippers' public relations also didn't stop. They firmly demanded that the league hold Chris Paul accountable, and they wanted Paul to take full responsibility.

Two voices were crazily intertwined in the media.

Usually, the league will make a penalty decision at noon the day after the game, but this time, it was past noon and no consensus had been reached.

The Clippers sent the videotape to the league headquarters.

There are more people supporting the Clippers on the Internet, because anyone who has watched the game knows that Paul is the initiator, although many people are defending Paul, including basketball faces like James, and his college coach and high school coach are all saying Paul is a good kid, and some people give examples of Paul's love for public welfare and giving back to the community... and so on.

It is worth mentioning that Paul also claimed that he had a fracture, a slight fracture of the nasal bone.

Judging from the injury reports of the two, it is obvious that Paul's injury is higher. Paul has internal injuries, including nasal bone fracture, wrist contusion, loose teeth, etc....

Jimmy Butler's face was mainly scratched, it looked very bloody and ugly, but actually there was no big problem.

Anyway, Butler doesn't rely on his face to eat.

A boy who was abandoned by his biological mother since he was a child because he was ugly, how would he care about a few more scratches on his face.

Butler even joked in the locker room, if these scars were deeper, wouldn't I be able to imitate One Piece.

Roronoa Zoro!!

Butler put on a three-sword style posture and shouted at Fan Xi: "Luffy, I am the man who is absolutely going to become the world's number one great swordsman."

Uh....

I have to say, the cultural output ability of island country comics is top-notch.

Even American black kids like Butler who have no home since childhood have seen it and are addicted to it.

Fan Xi rolled his eyes at him: Baka.

In addition to crazily discussing the right and wrong of this matter, many people are also talking about the end of the Los Angeles Lakers era.

No matter what, this Western Conference Finals proved a clear fact. Today, as Kobe is getting older, the Lakers cannot rely on the strength of Chris Paul and Dwight Howard to compete with Fan Xi.

Fan Xi will only become more powerful. Although according to league regulations, Fan Xi can only play for his own team for two consecutive seasons. But... it is almost impossible for the Lakers to grasp the window period. Because before this regulation was implemented, Fan Xi's current season is not included in the calculation. Fan Xi will play for the Clippers for at least three seasons.

Three seasons later, is the Lakers still the Lakers? Kobe might already be old. Without hope of winning the championship in the Lakers, will Howard stay here? Does Paul have the face to stay here?

Andrew Bynum has already ridiculed loudly there: Before the number one point guard Chris Paul joined, the Lakers were a three-peat team. After the number one point guard Chris Paul joined, the Lakers were a Western Conference Finals team. 66, a mysterious and powerful number. Far exceeding the 58 in 2009.

Bynum is not a generous person.

He was swept out because of the locker room conflict with Chris Paul. Now Paul was killed by Fan Xi so that his grandmother didn't recognize him. Can he endure the falling stones in his heart?

Must not.

His social platform is full of it.

All hatred and grievances have been avenged.

This wave of Western Conference Finals is the biggest Waterloo for Paul's career.

It is an indisputable fact that he was slaughtered by 58 points and slaughtered by 66 points. Moreover, although he damaged the Clippers' finals lineup, the notoriety he bears is rising. Everyone knows what kind of player he is.

His commercial value must be greatly reduced. Joining the Lakers is definitely a choice that is not worth the loss in terms of business.

The boss of Time Warner brought his negotiation team to Kupchak's office that afternoon, and they provided a brand new quote contract.

20 years 5.5 billion US dollars in terrestrial broadcast fees, and they promised to use the largest layout to report Clippers news every season, and the Clippers will also let them track and report some games throughout the process.

This is a win-win sound.

But Fan Xi told Kupchak.

This price is too low.

"Because what you get is a dominant team for at least the next twenty years. You cannot compare us with a sunset team like the Lakers. You can give the Lakers 5 billion, why not pay us 6.5 billion US dollars?"

Kupchak told the boss of Time Warner very calmly.

He didn't blush or breathe, he completely trusted Fan Xi's point of view, although this sounded a bit incredible.

If the Clippers can really maintain competitiveness for the championship in the next twenty years, then this is undoubtedly a value-for-money signing, and a signing that can make Time Warner make a lot of money.

But what if they didn't do it?

Can Jack play for twenty seasons? Maybe, at that time he will only be forty-two or forty-three years old.

However, can his dominance last throughout his entire career?

The boss was not scared by this shocking number, nor was he flustered. Instead, he sincerely bargained with Kupchak.

Finally, they agreed on an unprecedented contract.

The Clippers and Time Warner reached a formal agreement. The agreement is that starting from next season, Time Warner will obtain the exclusive terrestrial broadcast rights of the Clippers, including some full-process reporting content. The amount is 20 years 5.5 billion US dollars.

However, they also signed a supplementary agreement. If the Clippers win 7 championships or enter the finals 11 times within the 20-year contract period, they can get an additional bonus of 1 billion US dollars.

If the Clippers win 10 championships, the bonus will expand to 2 billion US dollars.

15 championships and above, the bonus will expand to 3.5 billion US dollars.

This is obviously a big gamble.

"I hope all rewards are activated." The boss of Time Warner said very happily after the agreement was reached: "In this way, the Clippers will become the greatest team in history, and we will also achieve unprecedented achievements in the sports field, reaching the peak in history."

"Of course."

Kupchak and the boss of Time Warner completed the handshake.

This agreement guarantees that the Clippers will receive at least 200 million in fixed income every year for the next twenty years, although it is paid in a stepped manner.

But compared to the price Fan Xi acquired the Clippers, Fan Xi has already made a lot of money.

This is equivalent to Sterling Donald selling the golden hen to Fan Xi at a clearance price when the golden hen was about to lay golden eggs.

When this agreement is officially announced to the public, Sterling will definitely shout to the sky: This is a robber, this is a robber. This was originally mine, it was all mine.

This miser loved money like his life all his life, stingy and greedy. But he turned around and gave away his most valuable assets, helping Fan Xi complete his original accumulation.

It is hard not to say a sentence: It is really righteous.

In the evening, the Miami Heat hosted the Chicago Bulls, which was the pivotal game of the East.

Thanks to the Clippers slaughtering and eliminating the defending champion Lakers, and Paul taking down three important Clippers rotations, both teams played particularly actively.

Even the media in the East released words: whoever wins the Eastern Conference championship will sit firmly on the championship throne.

This atmosphere of "Eastern Conference Finals is the Finals" affected both sides.

They all want to solve their opponents as soon as possible.

This emotion is undoubtedly beneficial to Miami, because they rely on superstars to drive the system, while the Chicago Bulls rely on the system to assist superstars.

When they increase the rhythm.

Fan Xi knew that Chicago would lose the game after watching half the game.

And the result was as Fan Xi expected. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were like wild horses off the leash. These two superstars killed wildly, cutting the Bulls' originally solid defense into pieces.

In the first three quarters, the Bulls could still resist.

After the physical fitness declined in the fourth quarter, LeBron James's advantage was revealed. He even reached the fourth position, and he carried out a tough back-to-back single against Carlos Boozer... Boozer is not a defensive player, he was pulled out by James for military training.

This made Fan Xi in front of the television feel vigilant.

If Kwame Brown is suspended for more than three games, the Clippers will be very dangerous, because James will definitely use this move to deal with the Clippers. At that time, who can hold James?

Butler's suspension will definitely exceed four games.

Originally Butler plus Leonard, these two went to defend and consume James and Wade, which could have a buffer effect.

But now... only Leonard is left.

Do you want Vince Carter to top it? This is not as good as letting Grant Hill play.

Fan Xi felt the shortage of personnel.

Chris Paul really stabbed a knife into the Clippers' soft underbelly.

The three major important rotations, originally the three potential trump cards used to deal with the Miami Heat, are now all invalid.

Whoo!

Fan Xi took a deep breath and greeted Paul in his heart.

The result of the fourth quarter game came out soon.

The Miami Heat beat the Chicago Bulls 101:89, and they got the match point.

The Big Three are only one step away from entering the finals.

Next, the Chicago Bulls will return to the United Center to arrange their sixth decisive battle.

"We will go all out, we will not give up like this. We will be the champions." Joakim Noah accepted media interviews with sweat after the game.

He said very strongly: "The Miami Heat can't beat the Clippers, only our Chicago Bulls can!"

"This is our responsibility."

Joakim Noah is very domineering.

Fan Xi smiled in front of the television. For him, if the Chicago Bulls enter the finals, how good would that be.

In this way, the impact of the absence of Nash, Butler, and Kwame will be minimized.

Even able to strive to take back a victory in the first two away games.

"We are ready. For us, not entering the finals and not winning the championship is our failure. Our establishment and formation are for the championship."

Dwyane Wade's interview content was also seen by Fan Xi on the television.

He was very frank, and he also directly shouted to Fan Xi: "Hey, Jack. Very happy you entered the finals again, I will not give you any more opportunities, we will take back the championship that originally belonged to us. This season, you will not have any luck."

Fan Xi spread his palms in front of the television.

He showed a powerful and confident smile.

Luck?

It is you who are lucky.

Fan Xi's tenacious will is burning.
