Chapter 771 [Don’t Take the Blame and Change Your Destiny]
After avoiding the Clippers, the Lakers' fate did not improve and they were swept out by the Thunder 4-0. The only good news for them is that Kobe has no serious injuries this season, allowing more people to pay attention to this series.
Before the game started, the media promoted that the Lakers were expected to return as kings in the playoffs and have a chance to eliminate the Thunder. Because the lineup restrained the Thunder and the like, they earned enough eyeballs and ratings.
Kobe averaged 30 points, 5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He shot 41.7% from the field, 28.3% from the three-point range, and 82% from the free throw line. He seemed to be still at his peak, but the Lakers still lost badly.
Reporters were surprised to find that the draft of last year's Lakers playoffs was still usable, and it could be posted with slight changes to player data and game situations. The title also needs to be changed, "The Lakers lost because Kobe didn't give his teammates enough trust and the ball."
Yes, in this playoffs, the blame for the Lakers' defeat finally no longer needs to be shouldered by their teammates.
From 2010 to now, in the four playoffs, the Lakers have exchanged stars one after another and paid an astonishing luxury tax. Whether they are experienced veterans or newcomers with unlimited potential, they have become CBA teammates when they arrived.
With so many giants joining together, there is no result. Who would believe that Kobe's teammate can't do it every time?
Luol Deng and Love became stars again after leaving the Lakers, and Nash and Evans played a role in their respective teams. Could it be that they don't have the ball in the Lakers because the Feng Shui at Staples Center is not good?
Only at his peak, Comey still firmly believes that Kobe is the best star in the NBA, and everyone who hates him is just because of jealousy.
These Kobes are not easy. In the past, some people listed statistics as black Kobe, and they were angry. Now, the pictures are all about black Kobe, because in the Lakers' disastrous defeat, Kobe often glared at and yelled at his teammates on the court, but he was too much on the defensive end. "Directing traffic".
The Spurs eliminated the Nuggets 4-1 and will meet the Thunder in the second round. This is good news for the Clippers. Westbrook is not injured and the two sides will definitely play fiercely.
Yang Rui has made headlines recently, not because of basketball, but because he sold part of his Facebook shares. Many people analyzed that he had conflicts with Thomas Bentley.
Of course this is not the case in reality, because Facebook's stock has been in poor shape recently and will enter a period of major adjustment at any time, and Yang Rui thought of a new way to make money, investing in Bitcoin.
Yang Rui pulled Thomas to invest together, but his friend refused. He was satisfied with the wealth he now had and felt it was too risky.
The concept of Bitcoin was first proposed in 2009. The open source software designed and released based on the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto" and the P2P network built on it. Bitcoin is a P2P form of digital currency. Peer-to-peer transmission means a decentralized payment system.
As Facebook is the leader in the IT industry, Yang Rui easily obtained detailed information about Bitcoin and had a professional team to consult on its development prospects.
On May 22, 2010, a programmer from Florida, USA, Russell Haunietz, successfully exchanged 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas. The specific process was not that the pizza shop accepted Bitcoin payment, but that someone else was willing to accept these Bitcoins. coins to buy pizza for Rasler.
Before April 14, 2011, the price of Bitcoin had been below 1 US dollar. By June 2011, Bitcoin had reached a maximum of 30 US dollars. Then the bubble burst, and the price of Bitcoin almost halved within a week. By 2012, the price of Bitcoin had almost halved. The price of the currency once fell below $2. Then it started to rise.
In 2013, affected by the Cyprus banking crisis, the monetary properties of Bitcoin attracted more attention. It reached an all-time high of $260 on April 9, 2013, before the bubble burst and plummeted to $68 a week later.
The Bitcoin incident was recorded in Yang Rui's little black book after his rebirth. As a major event marked with five stars, he has been waiting for this critical time.
In Yang Rui’s previous life, in the second half of 2013, some European countries introduced policies that were beneficial to Bitcoin.
Affected by this, Bitcoin prices ushered in the third bubble.
Data shows that on December 4, 2013, the price of Bitcoin reached a historical high of US$1,147, exceeding the international gold price for the first time. After that, the price of Bitcoin began to plummet, falling to $522 on December 18, and bottomed out on January 14, 2015, falling to $114.
As long as Yang Rui invests heavily in Bitcoin now at a price of 70 US dollars and sells it one after another when the price is around 1,000 yuan, he can increase the value by more than ten times. When the bubble bursts, he can continue to buy.
In Yang Rui's previous life, in 2014, Buffett warned: "Stay away from Bitcoin, it is basically just a phantom, and the idea that Bitcoin has huge intrinsic value is a joke in my opinion."
After that, Bitcoin surged several times. By the end of October 2017, it rose as high as $6,345, a record high. Stock investors sometimes made mistakes.
The reborn person will not make mistakes, and Yang Rui certainly will not play this game all the time. Buffett also missed the best opportunity to invest in Microsoft because sound investment in Buffett is an eternal myth. And few of those speculators who were successful for a while ended up well, and many of them committed suicide after being completely defeated.
However, Yang Rui still has to seize the easy opportunity to "pick up money". Not many people are optimistic about this now. He will definitely succeed, so why not?
After Yang Rui found the economic team to get a large amount of Bitcoin, the winner was decided in the final series of the Western Conference. The Warriors defeated the Mavericks 4-3 with difficulty and reached the second round.
Zach Randolph, once known as the worst 20+10 player, once again proved that he is very good. He made 8 of 12 shots and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. His performance was overwhelming with 17 points and 6 assists. Nowitzki with rebounds and 2 assists.
Mike Conley also played an efficient game, making 4 of 7 shots from the field, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 12 of 17 free throws, and scored 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists.
Veteran Jason Kidd renewed his contract with the Mavericks and did not defect to the Knicks like Yang Rui in his previous life, but he only lost a good name and failed to help the team much in the playoffs. He and Mavericks starting point guard Darren Collison were beaten by Conley.
Although Brook Lopez is poor in pick-and-roll defense, he performed well on the offensive end, averaging 18.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks in the series.
However, no one is optimistic about the Warriors defeating the Clippers. It would be good if they can not be swept. There is an obvious gap in strength between the two teams, and the core competition is inferior.
Yang Rui also took the time to study the Warriors' situation and worked with the assistant coaches to formulate targeted tactics.
After this season, the Mavericks must consider rebuilding. Nowitzki and Gasol are not suitable as partners. Both of them are very slow in lateral movement and have trouble defending pick-and-rolls. The Mavericks can enter the playoffs by relying solely on offense. Can't go far.
The Eastern Nets swept the Knicks 4-0, the Cavaliers swept the Bucks 4-0, the Pacers defeated the Raptors 4-2, and the 76ers eliminated the Pistons 4-2.
The 76ers are much stronger than Yang Rui in his previous life. Although their defense is poor, their offensive power is very strong. They have the offensive combination of Boozer and Love inside, and the forwards include Thaddeus Young, Nick Young, and Jason Lee. Chadson, guard Jrue Holiday was selected as an All-Star, is an excellent point guard, and Lou Williams leads the bench.
The 76ers who were not cheated by "Baby Shark" Bynum would hardly be as bad as Yang Rui in his previous life, and the Baby Shark who did not join the Lakers had been injured several times and wandered to several teams, and had long been without a ball to play. He has never been selected to the All-Star Game.
Lamar Odom has fallen faster than Yang Rui in his previous life, and has now been waived and left the NBA.
Because of Yang Rui, many people have changed their destiny.
