Chapter 1054 It's Good for Your Skin. . .
"Come on guys, I believe in you, win this game, I have prepared champagne to celebrate for you."
Andy stood in the locker room, looking at the group of giants under him, each with a dignified expression, and encouraged them.
In the past two days, Andy felt that he had done a good job as a team owner. He didn't want to put too much pressure on the players, so he took the initiative to stand up to attract the attention of the media, and appealed to the fans of the Rockets in various ways. Create a devil's home court for the Rockets, allowing fans to enter the arena and cheer for the team.
As for the others, more needs to be made by the coaching team and the players to adjust their status. What he should do now is to sit on the edge of the arena, smile and clap hands to cheer for the team.
Andy, Ivana, and grandpa and grandma came to the arena. Shortly after they sat in the front row, the lights of the Toyota Center Arena were turned off, and the spotlights were turned on. Under the call of the live DJ, the Rockets players appeared on the stage one by one. up.
Andy, like a fanatical fan, gave a standing ovation and cheered, and whistled very sharply.
"Rocket, rocket, rocket..."
A fanatical atmosphere can be created, and it is extremely easy to drive the herd effect. It can make people hot-headed, and they can't help but join in. Even very rational people will roar and cheer at this moment.
The live music under the control of the DJ, coupled with the shouts of the Red Ocean fans, turned the entire Toyota Center into a devil's stadium. Seeing his own image on the big screen, Andy smiled and gave thumbs up. Appreciate the hard work of the fans.
This game has attracted much attention, and many TV stations in many countries broadcast it live. After all, there are many international players in the NBA. The commentators from various countries also introduced various situations before the game started, and chatted about various interesting topics from time to time. .
"For tonight's game, all the fans in the Toyota Center Arena will get a box of throat lozenges and a bottle of mineral water. The Rockets' management has really worked hard to create their devil's home stadium!"
"Hehe, you need to know that Andy Smith is definitely a very generous owner at the level of NBA owners. I think if the Rockets win the game, our hamburgers and Coke will also be available. So, Rockets, you must win..."
Of course, China TV and the fans of China are the most concerned about this game, but the fans of China are a little speechless watching the host on the TV start to make all kinds of reasons, and then the advertisement starts. . .
The game begins.
To be honest, the intensity of the game was staggering, and even the game was not good-looking at all. Few people dunked, but the cheers and wild boos never stopped for a moment.
Ruthless fighting! Full of gunpowder!
The most nervous thing was the referees on the court. Even the good-tempered Yao was yelling at the Jazz players with a ferocious expression. Andy was so excited that he almost rushed up, stood on the sidelines and pointed his finger at the Jazz for some dangerous fouls. Roaring.
Without McGrady, although the offensive end of the Rockets is a bit difficult, Chang Lu's three-pointers and imaginative, extremely accurate passes make Yao, who is completely desperate and completely explosive, become a big devil in the paint . . .
The game was very tense, the scores rose alternately, and both teams were exhausted physically. Seeing Dayao panting for breath, Andy knew that even if he won this game, facing the black mamba and Mrs. The Lakers, the Rockets, a tired team, have difficulty moving forward.
The game was over, and Andy roared to the sky, and the Toyota Center turned into a sea of joyful red. He watched Chauncey, who was lying on the floor with his arms raised high, being overwhelmed by his teammates. He used the last three-pointer to seal the victory, leading by five points The Rockets won Game 7 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. . .
The hustle and bustle of the Toyota Center lasted for a long time. The main players of the Rockets were surrounded by reporters. After all, they became the ninth team in history to win three games in a row in the playoffs, and staged a big comeback.
Andy also happily embraced the smiling Ivana and accepted interviews from several media,
He said a bunch of clichés that moved him by the fighting spirit of the players.
On the way home, Andy smiled sarcastically. To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in the second round of the Rockets' playoffs.
. . . . . .
"Honey, are you sure you don't want to go back to Los Angeles with me?" Andy put his arms around Ivana, who had just been severely whipped by him and hadn't recovered her normal consciousness. With her fragrant dripping back, she asked softly.
"Well~ I've been on vacation for a week, and I've left a lot of things in the company behind. My dad has already called to express his dissatisfaction..."
Ivana, whose eyes were still blurred, hummed softly, turned around with a pretty pink face, reached for the tissue, put it into the blanket, frowned and said helplessly while cleaning it.
"Okay, at the premiere, it seems that I can only walk the red carpet alone..."
Ivana angrily pretended to be a poor boyfriend, threw away the ball of paper in her hand, took a few more, looked at Andy coquettishly and complained: "You can always find a suitable female partner, don't you?"
"Ahem...I'm very obedient." Andy said with a wry smile when he was choked up.
"Giggle, yeah, you're very good..." Ivana, who finally cleaned up, lay in Andy's arms, her chin pressed against his mouth, and she reached out to caress her boyfriend's handsome cheek with a smile on her face Fei smiled and said emotionally.
The two looked at each other, and Andy didn't feel guilty at all, just about to say something to divert this disharmonious topic, sniffed his nose a few times, frowned and said, "What is it?"
Ivana put her little hand on Andy's nose with a smirk, giggled and said, "What do you think?"
"..." Andy rolled his eyes, and the smell of raw truffle in Ivana's hand became stronger, and he said with a wry smile, "You used this hand to touch my face just now?"
"Hehe, didn't you say that high protein is good for your skin, hehe..."
"..." Andy choked speechlessly.
In the morning of the next day, Andy sent Ivana to the plane to New York. Naturally, he was reluctant to part with her again. However, Andy will not return to New York for the time being, except for the important world premiere to attend , the most important thing is that he has to avoid the chief of staff of the Treasury Secretary Hamilton who calls two or three times a day.
According to the agreement, the acquisition process of Indymac Federal Bank has been guaranteed by the US Treasury, and Andy Smith, who has received a 10 billion interest-free loan from the Federal Reserve, should have started the acquisition plan long ago.
But in order to reduce the burden and get a light-packed Indymac Federal Bank, Andy accepted the advice of the think tank and decided to let the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation operate for a period of time.
At the beginning, Hamilton may not have realized that he was prevaricated by Andy with various reasons, but the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was losing funds in the amount of 100 million in claims every day. Stop, once it stops, you will face more bank runs, so you can only grit your teeth like this.
And the third class and the second class did not see that Andy Smith had already received the money to submit the acquisition intention, let alone activate the "license to be activated" he applied for from there. Hamilton quickly realized Andy Smith's tricky plan, so he kept Made phone calls and even had two interviews with Andy in person.
However, Hamilton, who obviously wanted to delay time when he saw Andy, knew that the young man he was facing was a thick-skinned, greedy vampire. Paying a price is what he wants most.
When Andy left Houston and returned to the Little Versailles Palace in Los Angeles, he received a call from Alvitre in New York.
"Boss, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of the United States officially announced that it will maintain the normal operation of the new bank as much as possible, and plans to find a buyer for Indymac."
"Hehe, it seems that they are really pissed off. This is a direct showdown with me." Andy shook his head and laughed.
"Yes, the problem is that there are rumors that George Soros and Dell founder Michael Dell are members of a group of investors who want to form a shell company to bid for IndyMac Silver..."
Hearing this news, Andy frowned slightly at first, but quickly sneered and said: "Don't worry, it's okay, it's mine and no one can take it away, but in this way, we can only start the plan, these bastards , Such shameless tricks have been used! How could they force me..."
"..." Alvetrie, who was holding the phone, looked up at the ceiling speechlessly, and when he heard the big boss's grievances, he was only toothless.
