Chapter 548 Xiao Hua's Business Acumen
In fact, of course it wasn't that Xiao Hua wanted to open it up, but that Xiao Hua's business empire encountered unprecedented troubles.
He was threatened by the gaming company he worked with alone!
As early as 18, Xiao Hua reached a cooperation with the gaming company, and MGM officially became a partner of the NBA.
The official cooperation between the league and the gaming company created a worldwide precedent in professional sports.
This is the brain circuit of Silver's typical businessman and lawyer.
Xiao Hua feels that if he does not cooperate with the gaming company, the gaming company will open a new market in the NBA, and the players will still bet with the gaming company every day.
In this case, no matter how much the gaming company earns, it will not give the NBA a penny.
That being the case, then I might as well talk to you about authorization and give you an officially authorized vest.
In this way, gaming companies are rationalized by the NBA, so they are naturally willing to give the NBA part of the money, and Xiao Hua can also take the opportunity to earn extra money.
However, cooperating with gaming companies is the reason why Xiao Hua's superficial vision has been abused by elites in the industry.
Former NBA president Stern, why didn't he cooperate with gaming companies all his life?
Is it because Stern is stupid?
of course not!
Stern knows exactly what a bookmaker is!
Once gaming companies are legalized in the NBA, how many fans are willing to believe that NBA games are fair and just?
But Xiao Hua, who is superficial, just can't see this.
In fact, these are the troubles Xiao Hua encounters now.
He introduced the big tiger of the gaming company into the NBA, but his own ability was not enough to deter the gaming company.
Now, Xiao Hua is threatened by the gaming company instead, asking Xiao Hua to control the game and help the company obtain greater profits.
Xiao Hua is naturally unwilling to do such illegal and criminal activities.
But the gaming company is not a reasonable place.
Many of Xiao Hua's inside stories are held in the hands of gaming companies.
Xiao Hua was pinched by someone, and now he is desperately trying to find a way to deal with this big tiger, and has no time to plot against Ge Feng.
The open and secret battle between Xiao Hua and the gaming company is becoming more and more unstoppable.
Under such circumstances, Ge Feng helped Howard pay the fine in advance.
Howard originally refused, but seeing Ge Feng's firm attitude, Howard could only thank Ge Feng.
$25000 is nothing to Howard and Ge Feng.
Ge Feng is willing to help Howard pay the fine in advance, just to express his gratitude to Howard.
There are no nasty words of thanks between men.
Only by doing things can Ge Feng's intentions be reflected.
In the second quarter, Davis led the Lakers to play well.
With Ge Feng absent, Davis showed his all-around skills.
Davis is also a freak who can play from the 1 to the 5 if he wants to.
Davis first organized Kuzma to hit an air cut, and then blocked Favors on the defensive end.
During the defensive counterattack, Nongmei opened his hand and hit a three-pointer.
In a 5-0 spurt, the Lakers directly expanded the point difference to double digits under Davis' outstanding performance.
After halftime, the Lakers led the Pelicans by 60 points 45 to 15!
Playing at this pace, the probability of the Lakers winning the first game is very high.
The on-site commentator was optimistic about the Lakers getting a good start, and the fans of Staples were also waiting for the victory.
But in the second half, the Lakers began to have problems inside.
Without Howard's defense and rebounding, Davis played too hard.
Ge Feng felt the pressure from Davis and began to frequently shoot from outside the three-point line, trying to use the three-pointer to attract the Pelicans' defense to the outside.
But the Pelicans just weren't fooled.
Gentry of the Pelicans served as the chief assistant under Cole and also helped the Warriors win the NBA championship.
Gentry is a very smart coach, he is good at trying to figure out the opponent's intentions, and counterattack at the right time.
Gradually attracted by Ge Feng, the Pelicans' defense began to go outside the three-point line.
At this time, Gentry let Fat Tiger and Okafor continue to guard the inside.
Ball and Ingram stick to the middle distance.
Gentry handed over all the pressure on the Pelicans beyond the three-point line to Holiday.
Gentry played this trick very wisely. Although Ge Feng hit two three-pointers, Davis has not been liberated from the melee of the civil war.
Gentry just took a fancy to Howard's inability to play and was going to beat Davis hard.
The Pelicans came back hot in the second half.
A few Balls passed the ball without looking at others, and assisted Fat Tiger to take off from the penalty area, detonating the adrenaline of many Pelicans fans on the field.
Speaking of which, the Lakers' lineup this year is indeed unreasonable.
There is too little cooperation between role players, and there are too few breakthrough players who can tear apart the defense.
In a Lakers frontcourt offense, Schroder, who reached the inside alone, wiped the board and made a layup.
In the end, Zion flew over his head, and then directly used two hands to pick off the ball that Schroeder threw to the highest place!
Zion defeated Schroeder's confidence with an almost brutal star-stripping hat.
This star-catching hat directly caused Schroeder to throw the ball too high when he broke into the inside line in the future, or he was very hesitant when he shot, and everyone jumped to the ground before throwing the ball.
Schroder's frequent mistakes also made the Lakers' situation on the court more passive.
Vogel had no choice but to replace Schroder first and let him calm down for a while.
Obviously Schroeder was frightened by Zion's brutal hat removal.
With the last 6 minutes of the game, the Pelicans relied on the excellent performances of Zion and Ball to even the score.
The 15-point advantage was equalized by the Pelicans, and all the pressure came to the Lakers.
The Lakers began to frequently hand the ball to Ge Feng and Davis.
Davis has played 36 minutes in this game and scored a triple-double of 36 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
But now there are still 6 minutes before the end of the game.
Davis will definitely not end at the last moment.
After Davis finished this game, it is very likely that he will play a full 42 minutes.
For this team of Davis, it is already a very big consumption.
Davis has been injured this season and has not played more than 40 minutes on the court.
The Lakers' offense, Davis was out of breath.
Ge Feng was double-teamed by Ingram and Ball at this time, and Ge Feng transferred the ball to Davis.
Davis joined the ball, made fake moves to cheat and confront Zion.
Zion's physical fitness is really abnormal. Even with thick eyebrows, if he is not careful, he will be slapped out of bounds by Zion's team.
Davis relies on Zion to find rhythm.
Davis' offensive skills are very rich. Through dribbling and footwork, Zion's explosive physical fitness is completely useless.
Davis suddenly leaned against Zion, then turned over and shot a jumper.
Zion reacted quickly and jumped directly to defend Davis' jumper.
