After Curry was hit, he reluctantly took a step forward, and then casually threw the ball to the basket again...
The fans at the scene were instantly enlightened.
If we say, the super long three-pointer just now was an unexpected surprise.
Now, everyone already believes that Curry has the ability to throw the ball into the basket in any situation and at any distance!
Conley, who failed to intercept, now had a faint look of despair in his eyes.
The basketball drew a rainbow-like arc and flew straight to the basket.
...
...
"Shua~"
This time, there was no need to hit the board, the basketball went directly into the net!
And while falling into the net, the red light on the timer lights up...
The ball goes in and the light comes on, and the Rockets add another three points!
However, after Curry saw the goal, he did not rush to celebrate, but turned his head and looked in the direction of the referee.
Obviously, Conley committed a foul on defense just now.
But the referee didn't say anything.
His current expression, just like the fans at the scene and the Grizzlies players on the court, was one of surprise.
Curry even suspected that the referee forgot to call a foul because he was shocked by two consecutive long three-pointers.
The cute god smiled, spread his hands, said forget it, turned around and walked back to the Rockets' bench.
His teammates were all waiting for him with smiles on their faces.
After Curry scored 7 points in a row, the score reached 70:38. The Rockets entered the second half with a 32-point lead.
The game became uneventful after that.
Although the Grizzlies are known for their tenacity, they have never been able to make any waves despite the Rockets' powerful firepower.
At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets extended their lead to 40 points, and the game officially entered garbage time.
In the last quarter, Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin, two Chinese players, got enough playing time.
The two of them were in excellent condition, shooting and shooting, and performed well.
In the end, the Rockets ended the game with a 138:88 victory over the Grizzlies by 50 points!
After this battle, the Rockets also extended their winning streak to 35 games and continued to make history!
............
Seeing the Rockets winning consecutive battles, some people were so anxious that they couldn't even eat.
Apart from the Heat, the most anxious one is undoubtedly the Nike Group.
the reason is simple...
Among the Rockets' starting five, three are from Under Armour, McGrady is the signee of a lifetime contract with Adidas, and only Griffin belongs to Nike.
Now, Yao Ming is in good shape, Curry and George are performing better and better, plus the presence of boss Shen Fei...
The Rockets can definitely be called Under Armor's team!
The existence of such a team is absolutely unacceptable to Nike.
Previously, they tried to use "referee methods" to suppress the Rockets, but the effect was not good.
Now, the best way Nike can think of is to build a super team that can compete with the Rockets!
This team is undoubtedly the Miami Heat.
In order to help them continue to strengthen, just now, Nike's boss Phil Knight made a special call to Celtics general manager Danny Ainge.
The purpose of Phil Knight's call was to convince the Celtics to trade Ray Allen to the Heat.
At the beginning, Ainge's attitude was very tough - the Celtics would not agree to the trade unless the Heat produced two first-round picks.
But as time went by, his attitude gradually changed.
I have to say that Nike’s influence is still very great.
Under Phil Knight's coercion and inducement, Ainge finally agreed to communicate with the team owner and try his best to facilitate a deal with the Heat.
"Don't worry, your choice is wise. Nike will never treat you badly in the future, nor will it treat the Celtics badly."
After saying this, Phil Knight hung up the phone.
He breathed a sigh of relief as he successfully achieved his goal.
But just as Phil Knight was about to take a rest, there was a knock on the door.
He looked up and saw Durst standing at the door.
"Please come in."
Phil Knight said lightly.
"Boss, the results of the investigation about the George Generation are out."
"Based on multiple investigations and some special methods, we have basically mastered the entire design process of this pair of shoes."
Durst said straight to the point.
"How about it?"
Phil Knight asked immediately.
During this time, he was waiting for the results of the investigation all the time.
As long as it gets evidence of Under Armor's plagiarism, Nike will be able to make a good comeback in terms of public opinion.
Phil Knight has even asked a public relations company to prepare a statement:
"When we saw the actual picture of pg1, the entire design team was dumbfounded! Isn't this our kd3?"
"Both the appearance and sports technology, the two pairs of shoes are almost identical."
"This means that one of the two pairs of shoes is a plagiarized shoe!"
"But we are Nike! At that moment we realized - we were copied!"
"However, Nike is a responsible large company. We will not arbitrarily declare that Under Armor has plagiarized us without investigation."
"So we immediately launched an in-depth investigation and spent another two weeks temporarily designing a new pair of shoes."
"Due to limited time, this 'new version' of KD3 has had a huge negative impact on Nike! Everyone should know more or less about it."
"But now, the truth has come to light, and we have decided not to remain silent anymore, and to let everyone see Under Armor's true face!"
...
Phil Knight reads the electronic version of this statement almost every day.
He had been looking forward to the day it would be released!
Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!
As soon as it is confirmed that Under Armor has indeed plagiarized Nike's design, this statement will immediately appear on major social media.
Thinking of this, Phil Knight looked at Durst's modification with anticipation.
"Ahem..."
"Boss, after many verifications, the entire design process of PG1... was completed independently by Under Armor."
"The overall creativity was provided by Shen Fei. From the appearance design, to the choice of sports technology, and even the color of the first model, he decided on it a few months ago."
"so..."
Durst said helplessly.
Phil Knight suddenly raised his head and said in shock: "So, Under Armor didn't copy us?"
Durst nodded.
"boom!"
Phil Knight slapped the table hard, becoming extremely angry.
"You told me before that kd3 was completely designed independently by us, and there is absolutely no possibility of plagiarism."
"So what's going on now? Since it was Shen Fei who came up with the idea, why is it exactly the same as our design?"
"It's impossible that Shen Fei predicted the ideas of our designers and made it one step ahead, right?"
Phil Knight laughed angrily and asked.
"This...I don't know either."
"The only thing I can be sure of is that there is no mole in the design team."
Durst lowered his head and said helplessly.
He didn't know how to explain all this.
In the past two weeks, Durst conducted inspections one by one on all the designers involved in the kd3 design.
The results showed that... none of them were suspected of disclosing trade secrets to Under Armour.
"hehe..."
"Dest, you know, I have always admired you."
"But this time, you spent two weeks and gave me a conclusion that makes no sense at all. Do you think this is appropriate?"
Phil Knight said with a smile.
According to the current investigation results, Nike suffered a dumb loss this time.
Not only did kd3, which had devoted all its efforts, make a wedding dress for others, but the reputation of the company itself was also seriously damaged!
What industry leaders like Nike fear most is reputational damage.
"I'll check again!"
Durst raised his head and said solemnly.
"Alas..." Phil Knight sighed and whispered: "Go and check it out carefully."
"Yes! I'll go right away."
After saying that, Durst quickly left the office.
After he left, Phil Knight tapped his right hand on the table, his mind running rapidly.
Suddenly, the words "Mediterranean" flashed in his mind...
[Isn’t Durst really a mole...]
Phil Knight made a bold guess.
If the design team is all innocent, then the only person who is likely to reveal the design ideas of KD3 to Under Armour... is Durst!
Moreover, he is in charge of the NBA project and does have the opportunity to contact Shen Fei.
"Wouldn't this kid have been bribed by Shen Fei a long time ago..."
Phil Knight murmured to himself.
Although Durst has worked for Nike for many years and has made great military exploits, it stands to reason that there is no possibility of him defecting to the enemy.
But Phil Knight knew very well how powerful Shen Fei was.
With the latter's ability, he wouldn't be surprised even if Durst was really turned over.
"Dest, Dest, it's all in vain that I treat you so well. This is how you repay me..."
Phil Knight had a sinister smile on his face, and his right hand on the table silently clenched his fist.
............
Three days later, two major things happened in the NBA!
One is that the Rockets' winning streak...is over!
And the one who ended them turned out to be the weakest team in the Eastern Conference - the Charlotte Bobcats.
The process of this game was very bizarre.
First of all, all members of the Rockets played and did not rest any main players.
Secondly, the players did not underestimate the opponent because of their opponent's weakness.
The whole team worked very hard to finish the whole game.
But the strange thing is that today's home court of the Bobcats, Time Warner Online Arena, seems to be magical.
Whichever basket the Rockets attack, that basket is like a cover!
Whether it's McGrady and Curry in the starting lineup, or Roy and Lowry on the bench...
All the Rockets' scorers, shooters, and shots were all inaccurate!
Throughout the game, the Rockets made 9 of 30 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of less than 30%...
This is not the most outrageous thing.
In the middle of the second quarter, Griffin actually performed the miracle of dunking two consecutive irons!
The commentator at the scene even speculated that the Rockets were "cursed" today.
But their opponent, the Bobcats, is in hot form!
The team's dual cores, Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson, both performed at star level.
Elvis Wallace scored 35 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists, almost recording a triple-double.
Stephen Jackson felt hot, shooting 6 of 10 three-pointers and 5 of 6 two-pointers, scoring 32 points.
The Bobcats also had a surprise player on their bench - Boris Diaw.
Nicknamed the Gallic Magician, he can be said to have controlled the thunder and lightning in the transition period of the game!
Under his organization, a group of little-known players on the Bobcats bench were evenly matched with the Rockets bench gangsters.
Based on the above factors, the Bobcats, who were not optimistic at all before the game, miraculously defeated the league leader, the Rockets!
Such a result makes many fans feel unreal.
A Rockets fan lamented on his personal Twitter: "The NBA is indeed the place where miracles happen. Even the seemingly invincible Rockets may fall to the underdog Bobcats. I'm afraid no one expected the Rockets' winning streak."
Is the record going to end in Charlotte?”
As soon as this tweet was posted, it attracted widespread discussion.
One of the comments read: "Don't tell me, there is no real basketball player who predicted that the winning streak would be terminated by the Bobcats after the Rockets defeated the Spurs."
This comment quickly received high likes, and in the end even the person who made the "divine prediction" appeared in the comment area——
"Actually, I'm a Rockets fan. I just wanted to make a joke at the time, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a prophecy. My winning streak..."
Just as fans were regretting the end of the Rockets' winning streak, another big thing happened!
Woj, a well-known reporter from Yahoo Sports, tweeted:
"Deal done! Miami Heat sends: Eddie House, Eric Danpierce, an unprotected first-round pick and a second-round pick, acquires: Ray Allen from the Boston Celtics
And Chris Johnson."
This transaction information is tantamount to a bombshell, making fans instantly "climax".
"???"
"The Heat are making a deal with the Celtics, am I right?"
"Upstairs, the Celtics have no hope of winning the championship this year. Ray Allen is also having conflicts with Rondo. It's not surprising that he was traded."
"It's not surprising that Ray Allen left Boston, but being traded to the Heat is so strange! Did Ainge take the wrong medicine?"
"The Heat are now the Big Four! And Ray Allen's attributes are exactly what they need most. He doesn't need the ball, his shooting is stable, and his defense is three levels better than Mike Miller and his like.
!”
"Now we have a good show to watch. Heat vs. Rockets. Who will win this year's championship?"
...
Soon, the Heat's Big Three tweeted to welcome Ray Allen.
James wrote: "Welcome to the South Coast! #白热##AkronKids##all.in!#"
Wade wrote: "Brother, let's make history together, no one can stop us!"
Howard wrote: "I heard that we are not the favorite to win the championship? This is the funniest joke I have heard this year hahaha~"
Subsequently, James sent several more tweets.
There are highlights of Ray Allen and photos of him wearing a Heat jersey.
Finally, there is a selfie of James himself singing a song with excitement!
It can be seen from these tweets that the Heat's Big Three have greatly increased their confidence and have the courage to challenge the Rockets...
