Chapter 155 Breaking
The Spurs have the second record in the Western Conference, and the team they will face in the playoffs is also the old rival Nuggets.
Although there are major contradictions in the team, the heart of defending the title is the same.
The shopping mall belongs to the shopping mall, and the stadium belongs to the stadium. Li Chongxiao has a very professional ethics and will not bring other emotions to the stadium.
With a very easy 4:0, the Spurs swept the Nuggets relying on their strong hard power.
After Iverson switched to the West, he stopped in the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years.In the eyes of Nuggets coach George Karl, the No. 96 pick in [-] can only create "questions" and cannot give "answers".
The Spurs' opponent in the second round is the Hornets. Under the leadership of "Queen Bee" Paul Chris, the Hornets have achieved 55 wins this season, ranking third in the West.
In the playoffs, they defeated the Mavericks, who were still all-powerful in the past few years, and advanced to the second round of the playoffs.
In the first three games, the Spurs led their opponents 2:1.
On May 5, they went away to challenge the Hornets.In the game, Li Chongxiao played very well. While scoring 11 points, the opponent's breakup Stojakovic only made 32 of 14 shots and scored 3 points.
The Spurs lead 3:1, the fifth game is played at home, and the victory is in sight.
……
After the game, the team didn't spend much time in New Orleans and flew back to San Antonio.
After landing, it was already past one o'clock in the morning on May 5. As soon as Li Chongxiao turned on his phone, he found several missed calls, including calls from Li Guoqiang, Yao Ming, and his business assistant.
Li Chongxiao was about to call back when the call came again, it was Li Guoqiang.
"Hey, Xiao Fei, have you just finished the game?" His father's exhaustion came through the microphone, and Li Chongxiao felt nervous. Before he could ask, Li Guoqiang took the initiative to speak: "It's like this, there was an earthquake in Sichuan Province , a big earthquake. The specific situation is not clear now, alas, you should pay attention to this matter.”
Li Chongxiao was stunned for a moment, he was no stranger to Sichuan Province, his mother was from Sichuan Province.Although the administrative area of his mother's birthplace is now divided into the mountain city, people born in earlier generations are not so meticulously divided.
As for the memory of the earthquake, he is more familiar with the one in Ji Province from his textbooks.I didn't feel it when I was young, but when I grew up, I realized that it was a bloody scar when I saw a series of numbers.
He hung up the phone in a daze, then turned on his mobile phone to search, and got some sporadic information, which made him silent.
Duncan quickly discovered his abnormality, and came over to ask a few words of concern. He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then took his mobile phone to make a call.
A few sporadic words floated in the air, "immediately", "500 million dollars" and so on.
After Li Chongxiao learned of the disaster, he immediately donated 500 million US dollars for disaster relief work.
Early the next morning, he came to Popovich's office and explained the matter in a very heavy tone.
Popovich listened to his description with a blank face, and then asked: "I saw what you said in today's news. What do you think?"
"I hope the team can do something. Can we wear black gauze on the jersey? Can we hold some silence before the game?" Li Chongxiao explained his thoughts: "I don't know much about these, in short, according to The tribute previously held by the Spurs will continue."
During the several seasons when Li Chongxiao came to the Spurs, such mourning activities were held several times.The last time the "Katrina" Hurricane in New Orleans, the Spurs and the Hornets had a moment of silence after the start of the game, and Li Chongxiao also donated money.
"Is there anything I need to do to hold such an event? I can take care of the expenses." Li Chongxiao believes that the team will agree to his request, at most it will pay some money.
Popovich twitched the corner of his mouth, showed a strange smile, and threw out a sentence: "Are you going to renew the contract with the Spurs?"
"Ah?" Li Chongxiao felt that he had an auditory hallucination: "Is there any relationship between these two things?"
"Related!" Popovich said with certainty.
Li Chongxiao probably understood what Popovich meant, but he was a little unsure: "Is it because the team will not carry out any mourning activities without renewing the contract?"
"Why should we carry out such an activity for a player," Popovich pointed to his chest, "who doesn't care about us?"
Li Chongxiao felt that his three views had been shattered, and his last remaining illusion was completely shattered.
Li Chongxiao's identity as a Chinese has always been disliked. For the Yankee in front of him, the so-called feelings are only based on interests.
"Okay, I understand." The reunion and separation he had imagined were ruthlessly broken by this sentence: "To you, everything is just a business!"
Popovich didn't answer, Li Chongxiao didn't say anything, turned and went out.
Before closing the door, he turned around and said the last sentence: "I can also tell you the reason why I don't renew my contract, why should I play for a team that doesn't respect me?"
……
Duncan felt a little incredible about the team's performance.He has always believed that what Li Chongxiao said, that the team management discriminates against his identity as a Chinese is Li Chongxiao's paranoia.
The ruthless reality revealed who was delusional. After listening to Li Chongxiao's description, Duncan was going to find the team to make a theory, but Li Chongxiao also stopped him:
"It's probably useful for you to go, I think they have to consider you as an 'insider'." Li Chongxiao said with a look of sarcasm: "However, it's easy to put on a black gauze to save face, but it's easy to change the attitude of these people." Attitudes and ideas are too difficult."
As a top student in the psychology department, Duncan didn't know some of the team's deeds, but he was always unwilling to believe it.Now that the paper on the window has been torn, he still doesn't know anything.
He was silent for a long time before asking Li Chongxiao what he planned to do.
Li Chongxiao replied that he had no other choice but to donate 500 million U.S. dollars as a meager effort.
Duncan also immediately stated that he also donated 500 million.
"You don't have to do this?"
"I have to let you know that there are good people in America!"
……
In the following training, Li Chongxiao almost stopped any communication with Popovich. During the training, he also listened to the opponent's tactics with a blank face, instead of always asking some questions like before.
On May 5, the Spurs played against the Hornets at home, as long as he and Duncan wore black veils.
In the game, Li Chongxiao didn't follow Popovich's tactics at all, and played singles with the ball.He scored 26 points in the first half, which not only smashed the Hornets to pieces, but also completely dismantled the Spurs' tactics.
Popovich warned him during timeouts a few times and even froze him for several minutes, cutting his minutes to 17 minutes, to no avail.
During the intermission, facing Popovich's roar and questioning, Li Chongxiao pushed back without showing any weakness:
"The team leads by 15 points!"
