Healing Basketball

  Chapter 676 676. The Boss of Secondary School

  Playing against the Rockets, the Trail Blazers played very easily overall, but on the second day, the coaching staff still let the players rest all morning and gather at 1:30 pm to prepare for the game.

  At around 2 pm, the staff sent news that the Spurs had arrived at the Rose Garden Arena.

  In fact, if it wasn’t because the opponent was the Spurs, there would be no special preparations today. The Bucks and Rockets would not prepare until the day of the game.

  The Trail Blazers have locked the top two in the West, and the Spurs have actually locked the top two in the West.

  After the Spurs defeated the Suns in an away game last night, their record has reached 52 wins and 15 losses. There are 15 games left, and they can win another 6 games.

  Although the Trail Blazers currently have a lead of 4.5 wins, if they back a little, it is really possible that they will be overtaken by the Spurs in the end.

   So, go head-to-head with the Spurs, better win the game!

  Getting the news that the Spurs have arrived, the Trail Blazers players are even more excited about preparing for the game.

  By this time, they have begun to talk about the goal of '70 wins' in private. They know that such a goal can only be achieved if they hold the belief that they cannot lose a single game in the remaining games.

   On the second day, a new week came.

   At 9 o'clock in the morning, the league announced last week's player of the week awards.

In the past week, 3 wins and 1 loss in 4 games, averaging 22.2 points, 7 rebounds, 11.25 assists, 3.25 steals and 0.75 blocks per game. 2 out of 4 games won triple-doubles. The best player award, tying James' best player of the week this season.

In the Eastern Conference, James failed to win the award again. He changed from winning the championship to being tied by Liu Xiu. He learned that Arenas won the best news in the Eastern Conference this week with an average of 28.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists. James hated it. This is Agent Zero.

  Liu Xiu's best times of the week surpassed Kobe and Nash, which is an exciting thing for the Trail Blazers.

  Based on the current situation, the whole team knows that there are only three individual awards in the regular season that they are eligible to fight for—MVP, best coach, and best manager.

  The best coach and best manager are not important. The whole team has been fighting around the warden until now, and has already regarded winning the MVP as a team goal.

At the end of the pre-match meeting, the vice president came to the stage and said: "The team has a new regulation, and everyone must abide by it. This is what I discussed with the boss. Our goal is to hit 70 wins. I think this is also everyone's goal, but We can't announce this goal to the outside world, not because we are worried that we will lose face if we don't get 70 wins, but to increase the probability of getting 70 wins.

  Everyone knows what we want to do, but for this kind of thing, if we say it or not, the opponent will definitely have a different attitude, you have to remember, this is not timid, but a manifestation of intelligence..."

  Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This is exactly what they wanted to accomplish most at the moment, and they said that they would never talk nonsense.

   At this time, a system screen popped up in front of Liu Xiu, and after reading the content, she couldn't help but exhale: "The horse-riding..."

  The little flying squirrel who heard Liu Xiu scolding the street next to him has calmed down now—this warden wants to trick me into planting tomatoes again!

  Last year, he had a headache. Whether he should continue to grow tomatoes or help Chinese importers grow soybeans. In the end, he decided to continue to buy land and plant together!

  But he bought so much land that he raised the land price of the agricultural land around Portland, and he couldn’t bear the cost if he wanted to buy more land…

  …

  In the East District of Portland City, an office building that is only eleven or two minutes away from the Rose Garden Arena and Liu Xiuxin's home, the owner changed a while ago.

   It was the Blazers owner Paul Allen who bought here.

  In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office on the 6th floor of the top floor, Paul Allen leaned back in his chair, listening to the secretary's report on his work, while watching the construction vehicles gathering on the road outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, feeling very happy.

  Today, he has arranged all the work for the next 4 weeks. He has time to watch every next game. Even if he doesn’t want to go away with the team, he still has time to watch live broadcasts and hold parties.

   Also, the construction plan of the training hall, which has been delayed for a long time, finally started!

After the secretary reported on the work, seeing that the boss was impatient, he immediately changed the content and asked: "Boss, we decided to buy this place last December, why did we not make up our minds to buy it until now? Although the construction The training hall is not as complicated as building an official stadium, but it cannot be put into use before the start of the new season."

Paul Allen gave the secretary a blank look: "I'm rich, and I'm not stupid. Last year, their quotation was twice as expensive as the current transaction price. Last year, the property market couldn't hold it anymore. Buying at that time was equivalent to buying at a high price. Now The price is only one-third of last year, and this price also includes the office building under our feet."

  The secretary continued to ask: "That's right, can we wait a little longer? It seems that the house price is still falling and has not bottomed out yet."

Paul Allen groaned and said, "What do you know? Although housing prices are still falling, the main areas of cities like Portland have not fallen anymore, and instead have a tendency to rise again. The places that have fallen are those small cities where housing prices should not have been so high. Now this place has been targeted by many people. Because we can take out cash immediately, we can buy this place at this price and get this building..."

  The secretary suddenly realized, and nodded again and again. After the boss finished speaking, he thought about it for a while, and then praised: "Boss, you are amazing. I still have a lot to learn."

  Paul Allen was very helpful, praised the secretary a few words, and then started laughing...

  At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Paul Allen answered, and the vice president, general manager, and coach of the Trail Blazers entered the office one after another.

  The secretary sensibly guided the three of them to look at the location of the training hall they were going to build, and briefly talked about the construction plan. The three of them flattered Paul Allen one after another.

After enjoying the flattery, Paul Allen said: "I know you have always felt that there are too many people waiting in the Rose Garden Arena, but I can't help it. Our arena has become a symbol of this city. There are more and more stars who come here to hold concerts and companies to hold events, especially in summer. We can’t guarantee that we can provide training venues for the players at any time in summer...but this is our glory, and we should respect it feel proud!

   But I will try my best to help you create better working conditions. It won’t be long, we will have our own training hall next year! "

  The boss is good at Secondary School, but the four employees, including the coach who is at odds with the boss, all sent another wave of rainbow farts...
