Chapter 412 Tellem is still a professional
The gentle summer breeze blows away the haze of mist and rain, bringing with it a verdant sea.When the morning light reflected on the lake, the first image of the city returned to its former fireworks.

The beauty of Seattle is the beauty of tranquility, while the beauty of the Bay Area is the beauty of vitality.

The past night was a noisy one.

In the early morning, there were even some dazed fans on the side of the road who just woke up, not knowing why they fell into the grass on the side of the road.

They lowered their heads and saw the black jerseys on their bodies.

Oh, right!

The fans slapped their heads, and the Warriors won the Western Conference Championship!
We are the champions of the Western Conference, and we made it to the Finals!This is a new milestone, a big event enough to be recorded in the history of the Warriors.

The fans shivered in the cold wind in the early morning, and suddenly felt an urgent need to vent.

They walked on the street, first solved their breakfast problem, then bought a morning newspaper, and couldn't wait to read the news of the Warriors.

"Big Victory!The first Western Conference champion in 25 years! "

The title is too conspicuous, and the illustration is a photo of the Warriors surrounding Qin Fei holding the silver-white Western Conference championship trophy.

In the 1974-75 season, the Warriors once won the Western Conference championship trophy in that season, reached the finals, and finally won the championship.

That is a very distant memory. Old fans of the Warriors can't remember the scene at that time. They only know that the leader of the Warriors at that time was Barry Sr.

The fans read it carefully, and the article recorded some details of the Warriors winning the Western Conference championship, as well as the whole process of the last game.

The process is tortuous, but the result is sweet.

Especially the defeat of a strong Western Conference team like the Trail Blazers makes people feel that this Western Conference champion is very important.

The loser of the night was the Trail Blazers.

The rise of the Trail Blazers is very sudden, but it is undeniable that the Trail Blazers with strong players such as Pippen and Sabonis are the top team in the West.

Just like before the start of the Lakers-Warriors series, before the start of the Western Conference Finals, the number of people who are optimistic about the Trail Blazers' advancement far exceeds that of the Warriors.

People think that it is already a miracle for the Warriors to reach the Western Conference Finals. How can miracles happen all the time? The NBA is the birthplace of miracles, not a wholesale market for miracles.

It wasn't until the Warriors advanced that everyone really found out.

You can't look at the Warriors with common sense, or you can't look at the team with Qin Fei with ordinary eyes, just like when the Sonics won Jordan in the finals.

Qin Fei is the biggest variable in this league, the X factor of the Warriors.

His performance determines the upper limit of the Warriors' combat power and how far they can go.

Commentators named the most frustrated people of the night in the article.

Pippen of the Trail Blazers was selected again.

Pippen was the one who lost to Qin Fei twice in the big wars. In the Eastern Conference, he lost in the Finals, and in the Western Conference, he lost in the Western Conference Finals.

Qin Fei turned into a bat killer.

The only good news is that the 35-year-old Pippen has just entered the second year of the big contract he signed during the Rockets period, so he doesn't have to worry about the subsequent contract.

Hope money can make up for the pain of failure.

The article also talked about a short process of interviewing Qin Fei.

The reporter asked Qin Fei: "Why are you always able to turn the tide at critical moments? You seem to have mastered the trick to enter a higher palace. Can you share it with us?"

Qin Fei's interview answers are very interesting.

"It's very simple," he said.

Then stretched out a fist the size of a sandbag.

The reporter was taken aback: "You mean...the Trail Blazers are not as united as the Warriors. When everyone clenches together like a fist, they can form a joint force and be invincible?"

Qin Fei glanced at the reporter in surprise.

"What you said is also reasonable, but what I mean is that my fists have long been hungry and thirsty. I have waited for this moment for a long time, and I have made full preparations..."

"Slightly stiffen, to show respect..."

.........

As the Western Conference finals came to an end.

The two opponents in the finals have also been announced.

Indiana Pacers VS Golden State Warriors.

The Pacers' record in the regular season is better than that of the Warriors, so according to the competition system, the Pacers will play two home games first.

Then there are three away games and two home games.

There have not been many confrontations between the two teams in history. One is located in the east and the other is located in the west. It is difficult to form a real grievance.

Like the Celtics and the Lakers, the enemies of the century-old giants across regions, the NBA has successfully created such a pair over the years.

And the grievances of this pair are not transferred by the loss of players.

To put it simply, the players have changed, but the grievances remain the same.

Unlike some teams that have entanglements with some teams under the leadership of certain players, after the players leave, everything will disappear.

To say the biggest connection between the Pacers and the Warriors.

It might still be Qin Fei.

When Warri Walker listed Qin Fei, the Pacers were among the teams competing for Qin Fei.

But Larry Bird himself didn't think about how much he was willing to pay for Qin Fei.

As a result, Qin Fei later went to the Warriors.

This is not over yet, there is more to this matter.

After Qin Fei went to the Warriors, he didn't get along well with the Warriors head coach PJ Carlesimo at the time, and parted ways after cooperating for a season.

Afterwards, the Warriors looked for a new coach, aiming at Carlisle, whom Larry Bird focused on training.

Then Carlisle came to the Warriors, and by the way brought his friend from the Pacers, defensive assistant Dick Hart.

The Warriors dug Larry Bird's corner, twice.

To be exact, it should be three times.

And Jermaine O'Neal... But compared to the Pistons, the pain of the Pacers is nothing. There is always a rainbow after the storm. Isn't this also a surprise to reach the finals? It proves that history has inertia.

Before the finals start.

By convention, the media will analyze the lineups of the two teams.

The Warriors are characterized by tough defense, excellent transition offense, and full toughness.

The Pacers are characterized by excellent outside shooting, balanced offense and defense, and will not easily make mistakes.

There are similarities in the team building policy of the two teams.

For example, the offensive end relies on the outside line. In the past games, both teams had famous scenes where they relied on shooting to solve problems at the last moment. Both teams were dominated by blue-collar players inside.

Therefore, after analyzing the lineup, the key point of this round of the series is still the outside duel.

At this time, Jordan, who was far away from the Wizards, made a bold prediction.

"Warriors will win, anyway, Reggie can't guard Qin Fei, just like he couldn't guard me at that time."

The previous sentence is still a normal analysis, but the latter sentence obviously contains personal emotions, so the outside world will not use his guess as a formal argument.

On the contrary, Reggie Miller was a little upset after hearing Jordan's prediction.

"He can only talk about it now. If it really ends, I can kill him."

Jordan was very angry after hearing what Reggie Miller said.

……

The Warriors reached the finals aroused strong social repercussions.

In the Bay Area, the Warriors have become the most watched team currently.

Mainly because of performance issues.

The San Francisco Giants also have a good record, scoring 97 wins and 65 losses in the regular season.

This year, the San Francisco Giants bid farewell to Candlestick Stadium, which had been used for 40 years, and moved to the brand new Pacific Bell Stadium.

The Giants round trip disappointed local sports fans.

I didn't expect that the Warriors, who didn't pay much attention to it, would go all the way to the end, and now they have the opportunity to get their hands on the championship trophy, which is really amazing.

Therefore, many local people began to pay attention to the Warriors games instead, and the sense of regional honor made them temporary Warriors fans.

The streets and alleys are strung together, and when I see that there are quite a few fans wearing Warriors jerseys, I immediately have a sense of identity and belonging.

In China, more and more fans pay attention to Qin Fei.

"The Light of the Chinese" not only proves that the sense of honor brought by Qin Fei is common in terms of identity, but more importantly, everyone simply likes to watch him play, and likes to see the yellow that jumps between black and white.

And Qin Fei also has his own ideas.

Promoting the development of the basketball career and affecting or even changing the fate of more people is the pursuit of new life value brought by the added value of the game, and it is also the deep-seated reason for his efforts.

What is the highest level of needs in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?
It's the need for self-actualization...

Qin Fei looks like he has reached this height. From material needs to self-realization needs, he wants everything and leaves nothing behind.

……

6 month 5 day.

The Warriors fly to Indiana to prepare for the Finals.

On the night of arriving in Indiana, the coach did not arrange for the players to practice and let the players rest.

Agent Tellem came to the hotel where Qin Fei was staying.

Tellem hasn't been seen for a long time.

After this guy signed Qin Fei, he put in a lot of effort in the early stages of Qin Fei's career, and he was basically in a state of trusteeship later on.

Whenever at this time, he is always busy signing potential rookies in the league, so he has no time to take care of them. The superstars he has already signed, unless the superstars themselves have needs, other people in the general team are enough.

"You should have introduced Yao Ming to me."

Tellem complained to Qin Fei the first time he saw Qin Fei.

"That being said, how can I have the right to decide which agent Yao Ming will sign with?"

Of course Qin Fei didn't take the pot, although he felt that if he really spoke, there was a high probability that Yao Ming would listen to him.

Tellem believed Qin Fei's nonsense.

He sighed and said: "Your compatriot from China is amazing. Now his draft price has been rising all the way. There are many high-ranking teams who have shown interest in him. It is really a good deal to choose to participate in the draft in such a young draft year."

"You mean he's going to be the champion?"

Qin Fei pretended to be surprised, but he was indeed a little surprised in his heart. At first, he thought that Dayao's participation in the draft this year would be at the level of the lottery zone at most. It would be good to be in the top 10. It seems that he still underestimated the desire of these NBA teams for top insiders.

"It's hard to say the top three picks, and there should be a chance to make a move. I feel that if he is not selected in the top three, then the final ranking should be around No.5." Tellem is an expert in this area, and his prediction is close to ten.

"Which teams are there?"

Qin Fei asked.

"I know that the team that is most interested in Yao Ming should be the Houston Rockets, but the Rockets have only got the ninth overall pick in the first round. If they want to get Yao Ming, they have to make a trade, or trade players with each other, or trade for a higher draft pick to ensure that they can get Yao Ming." Talking about the Rockets, there was some indifference on his face.

Qin Fei felt that there was something in Tellem's words, so he didn't say anything, but just stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

He took a sip of water and said, "The Rockets are basically useless, because teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks, and Chicago Bulls are all interested in Yao Ming."

"The Eagles are also here to join in the fun, don't they already have Mutombo?"

Qin Fei questioned the professionalism of this information.

"The Eagles can do it, haven't you heard of the Twin Towers?" Tellem also opened his eyes and said nonsense, what the hell are the Twin Towers, is Yao Ming playing power forward or Mutombo playing power forward?
"Haha, I was just kidding."

The manager's cold joke was not funny at all, and the corner of Qin Fei's mouth twitched slightly.

"If the Hawks can really select Yao Ming, I guess they will trade Mutombo."

"Oh, it's not a sequential relationship. It's just that Mutombo's departure from the Hawks has been rumored for a long time. The selection of Yao Ming may become the best opportunity."

Qin Fei nodded after listening to his analysis. When he heard Mutombo's deal, he suddenly saw a short figure who scored 48 points in the first game of the finals in his mind.

There is such a thing.

"Let's put aside the matter of the draft. Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with you. What happened to the conflict in the game that day?"

Tellem is now starting to voice concerns.

Qin Fei spread his hands: "It was the enemy who made the first move, it has nothing to do with me..."

"I later received some news about the league's vigorous efforts to clean up the stadium. Anyway, if this kind of conflict happens again in the future, the punishment will definitely become stricter, until one day more serious accidents break out, and then kill the chickens to scare the monkeys..."

What Tellem meant was obvious, and he didn't want Qin Fei to become a certain chicken because of these things.

This made Qin Fei admire Tellem's acumen.

It's just that most of the players in that chicken came to the current Warriors lineup.

In terms of fighting, the Warriors may have won the league championship trophy now, and the model of the bandit dynasty is particularly obvious.

"Anyway, pay more attention. Don't let this kind of thing happen in the finals. It will affect the personal image, the image of the team and the image of the league."

Tellem gave a few words of advice, and then took out some contracts from the crumpled briefcase.

"Come on, let's get down to business. These are the ones I've screened out recently. They are suitable endorsements. If you find them similar, sign them."

Tellem pulled out a dish of contracts.

Qin Fei picked up the contract and started browsing while shouting shit.

There is no big problem, that is, the quantity and amount show a straight-line upward trend.

"I know you don't like to shoot commercials, so most of these endorsements are prepared to use your portrait, and then use a little PS to make advertising pictures."

"It really doesn't work. Then you can pose a little bit and ask them to take a photo. Anyway, I didn't take any of the video advertisements."

Tellem explained on the sidelines, proving that he also did a lot of work.

"That's too much..."

After Qin Fei saw so many endorsement contracts, he signed them all, fearing that in the future, his whole body would be endorsed by brands.

There's even an endorsement of men's lipsticks...too much!

"100 million..."

Let's not take this as an example...

Qin Fei sighed, Tellem is still a professional, and he has developed his body to the extreme within the scope allowed by the law...
