"Are you kidding? That kid wants to buy the Warriors?" Chamberlain grinned, and almost all his tonsils were exposed.

Li Qun snorted reluctantly and said, "Otherwise, what do you think he is doing in San Francisco? Is it to come to you for an autograph photo?"

Chamberlain smiled awkwardly and said, "I thought he was here to pick you up."

After hearing this, Li Qun's eyebrows were raised. Chamberlain came up to hug Li Qun in a sticky way. The latter slapped his furry hand away and scolded: "What bad thing do you want to do? This is the playoffs. Go to bed well and accumulate your energy to deal with the San Antonios!"

Chamberlain didn't care. He opened his ape arms and hugged Li Qun in his arms like an eagle catching a chicken. He smiled softly and said, "Isn't this a misunderstanding? But I still don't believe it, why did that kid buy a team? Is it very profitable?"

The salary income of NBA stars is undoubtedly at the top of the social industry, but they are still working people, relying on selling their physical strength to exchange for food. From this point of view, they are not much different from workers, they are both blue-collar workers.

If the stars are like this, the team's boss is not much stronger. The investment required to support an NBA team is not a little bit. Many teams such as the Raptors, Bobcats, and Bucks often fail to make ends meet. The boss has to pay for money by himself, let alone make money through the team.

Most of the NBA bosses are nothing in the upper class in the United States, so when Microsoft director Paul Allen bought the Portland Trail Blazers, the sports circle was so sensational. The United States is a country without cultural heritage. Unlike Europe, football clubs are all industry leaders, and many of them are giants in the energy industry.

Richardson knew it was unusual when he saw his origin. He changed two cars twice, one was Bentley and the other was Maybach Zeppelin. He could afford these two cars. The business his family was engaged in was definitely a huge profit industry. Why do people who are engaged in huge profit industries play clubs?

Managing a team requires a lot of manpower, material resources and energy, and output is absolutely not proportional to investment. Dolan, the owner of the New York Knicks, understands this truth, so now he starts to ignore the team and let it go. This has also led to one of the reasons why the Knicks are getting worse and worse from big apples to rotten apples in recent decades.

So, it was so unbelievable that Chamberlain learned that Richardson actually wanted to buy a team. What he didn't believe was not whether Richardson could afford the strength of this team at a young age. You don't know how many rich people in the world are without the United States.

After Chamberlain's various pesterings, the two got together. Li Qun was obviously still very concerned about Chamberlain's performance in front of the public. However, when Chamberlain rushed and beat him hard, Li Qun could only breathe.

After being warmed up with Li Qun, Chamberlain vented his depression of losing. He lay on the ** and opened his notebook, and began to watch video clips of other team games sent by the team's assistant coaches, as well as analysis of various team positions.

On May 7, the Hornets played away against the Lakers. The Lakers led the Hornets by 10 points at the end of the first half. After the second half, the Hornets counterattacked wildly, but in the fourth quarter, Kobe broke out, West and Chandler both committed 6. In the end, the Lakers beat the Hornets 107-101 and made a good start.

In Chamberlain's opinion, there are two monsters among the NBA stars, one is Nowitzki and the other is Kobe.

After Nowitzki joined the league, he did not do any product endorsement. His explanation to the outside world was very simple: "I like basketball, I enjoy this kind of game. What I want is pure competition and I don't want to have anything to do with business."

Chamberlain was very convinced of Nowitzki because he couldn't keep his back in front of money, although he knew that even if he only relied on his salary, he would be squandering enough in his life.

Kobe's freak is reflected in another point, that is, he never goes online. Yes, in the 21st century science and technology center, Kobe rarely goes online. His entertainment method is not only fitness, but also watching movies. This is what he said. Of course, American people all know that he also has a hobby, which is to pick up girls.

Not going online does not mean that Kobe does not understand the biggest controversy in the NBA today. In fact, no matter the sports programs of the TV station or the magazines and newspapers, they are all arguing about which topic is the MVP of Kobe or Paul this season, and they tend to be more popular with Kobe snatching Paul from MVP.

Many people, including Chamberlain, believe that Kobe got the MVP because of the league's bias, because he is the image spokesperson that the league supports, and the NBA image spokesperson is not yet MVP, which is obviously incredible. Kobe can make himself stronger, and Paul can make his teammates stronger, which is a recognized fact.

But Kobe doesn't think so. He has long thought that he should get MVP - Iverson, Garnett, and Duncan have MVP, and O'Neal has MVP. In his opinion, it is not only natural for him to win MVP, but it is still too late. The league should have asked him to do MVP a long time ago.

However, Kobe is not a person who likes to talk about the verbal battles. He likes to tell the answers with practical actions, so this time he played against the Hornets in the playoffs, which gave him this opportunity.

After the first quarter, Kobe had to play singles as soon as possible. Facing Morris Peterson's defense, he took Gasol's pass and made a jump shot. Unfortunately, he made a quick shot and missed the shot. Paul **** passed Chandler, assisting the latter with a flying dunk and started the first.

The Lakers' Cup continued. Bynum turned around and was blocked by Chandler. He was embarrassed when facing the boxing champion Sharks. Then Odom broke through Peja and made a move, which opened up the situation for the Lakers.

The Lakers started poorly and wanted to focus on Kobe, but Peterson actively fought against the Black Mamba, which made him suffer a lot in the beginning. Peterson's reputation was not very good, but he was actually a defensive player and a lesser-known excellent defensive player in the league. He was diligent and had high fighting spirit. His height, body shape and moving steps were not inferior to the top swingers in the league, such as Kobe, McGrady, and Carter.

Unlike other first-class defenders, Peterson has fewer defensive moves. Defensive Kobe is just a simple gummy defense. In this way, Kobe has to spend more physical strength than usual to achieve the goal if he scores, and there is nothing to say: Peterson's defense has always been very clean.

Fortunately, the Hornets made consecutive shots and their shooting percentage was very low. Except for Chandler's dunk, they didn't score a single point in the first three minutes. Both teams were playing defensive battles, and the fans in the Staples Center were booing.

Kobe couldn't stand this kind of scene at first, but he wanted to prove that he was more suitable for MVP than Paul. How to prove that he didn't score? Relying on assists? That's not his style of black Mamba.

Black Mamba was very angry, and the consequences were very serious. He no longer played back but broke through, causing Peterson to start the first record after a defensive foul, and then scored another 2 points in the mid-range shot. Kobe, who was excited, became more and more excited. During the third attack, he directly slipped into the baseline and rushed to the basket and dunked backhand, helping the Lakers lead the Hornets 10-6.

The Hornets had to call a timeout. Mr. Scott, who had just won the best head coach, formulated a new tactic. However, after the timeout, the Hornets' shooting rate did not improve, but instead made some mistakes. The Lakers' record was outstanding. Odom caused West to make two fouls at the basket, and Kobe made a three-pointer, and the Lakers firmly controlled the situation.

It was as if he was cooperating with Kobe, the Hornets were getting worse and worse. Nene broke through and dunked the ball and dunked it. Seeing this scene, Chamberlain, who was lying on the bedside, almost laughed out loud: Are you playing playoffs? Why do you look like funny guys are acting in comedy basketball?

Kobe was murderous. After he scored a layup, the Lakers' lead became bigger and bigger, and he directly led the Hornets by double digits 21-10. Finally, the Hornets' offense began to awaken. First, West made a strong fight, and then Paul no longer organized the team but attacked by himself, scoring 6 points in a row.

But on that side, the Lakers' attack efficiency was also very high. Odom and Fisher joined forces to contribute 5 points to suppress the Hornets. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers 32-23 Hornets.

After the start of the second quarter, Jordan Famal, who came on as a substitute, scored 6 points in a row, and the Hornets also sent substitutes. The substitutes were obviously not good at defending. They launched an attack, Paul made a mid-range shot and fought back, Ujachecci made a three-pointer, the Lakers continued to maintain a lead of more than 10 points, Kobe assisted Mbenga to dunk, and the Lakers still maintained an 11-point lead.

The Hornets' main player made the stage again. This time West got his sense of it. He scored 4 points with buckles and led the Hornets to chase points, but Kobe scored 7 points from inside and outside, making the Hornets in a mess. The volcanic eruption shouted out loud. Kobe looked awesome and shining. However, he played too hard before, and he attacked against Motson's candy defense. Although he scored more points, his physical strength was consumed even more.

Seeing Kobe's end, the Hornets took advantage of the situation to chase the points. Paul made a throw shot, West scored 4 points in a row, and the Hornets played with momentum. At one point, the Hornets chased the score to 50-56. Seeing this, the Zen master couldn't sit still, so he called a timeout. After the timeout, Paul stole Lao Yu's pass and scored a fast break. The Lakers played Gasol, who scored continuously, and Kobe also played, so the Hornets could not withstand it. At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the Hornets 64-54 and scored again to double digits.

After the second half of the game started, the Hornets began to counterattack, West scored a three-pointer, Paul scored 4 points in a row, and the Lakers encountered an offensive crisis. In the first four minutes, the Lakers only Kobe scored 2 points in the shooting, West added two more points to the layup, and the Hornets chased the gap to three-pointers, which was the smallest gap between the two sides after the opening.

The Zen master couldn't sit still anymore and shouted again. This time he replaced Odom and replaced Radmanovic. The facts proved that this move was very effective. Radmanovic hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, opening up the situation for the Lakers. Walton added two more points in the mid-range shot, and the two teams launched another attack. Paul made a layup, Peja made a three-pointer, and the Lakers maintained a weak lead 71-68.

After the fourth quarter, the shooting percentages of both teams dropped. Odom, who was back on the court, began to get distracted again. He first passed the ball out of the court, then grabbed the rebound and then passed it to Paul. The latter was shocked when he got the ball. Brother, are you the undercover agent we invited?

Kobe was furious and wanted to go alone by the ball. He broke through and made a foul and made two free throws, and strengthened his defense from the outside, resulting in the Hornets not getting a single point in the first two minutes.

Paul also made a breakthrough. Lao Yu had no choice but to watch him make a layup and open the situation for the Hornets. Then West dunked and the two teams continued to be in a stalemate. Paul, who performed tepidly in the whole game, showed his fangs at this critical moment. He broke through and threw the ball and scored 4 points, and the two sides tied at 85.

Kobe was not willing to be outdone. He rushed to the basket and scored a three-pointer successfully. However, Paul then launched a counterattack. He swam continuously from the outside. Kobe pushed the old fish away and Fisher to defend himself. The two MVPs met at this moment.

Paul's ability was fully demonstrated at this moment. He broke through the emergency stop and then withdrew from the three-point line and made a three-pointer shot. As a result, Kobe tricked him into jumping and blocking and committing a foul. The former made all three free throws!

Black Mamba's anger is max. He scored 7 points in a row when he erupted in the volcano and scored 5 points in a row. During the period when Paul was not willing to be outdone, the playoffs became a match between two superstars. In the end, the two teams tied at 95. Kobe added two more points in the mid-range shot. Paul missed the move, and Gasol made a layup to help the Lakers stabilize the situation. With 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Lakers led the Hornets 103-98.

But then, Peja hit a three-pointer and the Hornets had another chance, but Gasol immediately received Odom's pass and dunk. The overall situation was decided. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Hornets at home 107-101.
