Chapter 155 The first round of the playoffs begins! Chen Hao publicly bets with fans all over the world!

After that night, Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian became Chen Hao's personal secretaries, specializing in designing a personal brand for him.

After all, Chen Hao's charm was so great that they simply couldn't stop.

The Celtics have also entered the sprint stage of the playoffs.

Chen Hao's performance is still as steady as an old dog. Basically, his playing time will not exceed three quarters.

Because after three quarters, the game basically entered garbage time.

Therefore, the Celtics' record improved rapidly at this time. After Chen Hao returned, they quickly won ten consecutive victories.

After ten consecutive wins, the Celtics made a tactical adjustment and let Chen Hao rest for three games, so they lost three games in a row.

In the words of head coach Rivers, this is to allow players to get enough rest and avoid injuries.

After all, the playoffs are about to begin, and at this point in time, we definitely don't want players to get injured.

However, although the Celtics have had a good record, there are still many experts who are not optimistic about their performance in the playoffs.

After all, this Celtics team has basically never made the playoffs, so their playoff experience is almost zero.

You have to know that the playoffs and the regular season are two different concepts, so many people think that playing well in the regular season does not mean playing well in the playoffs.

The competition in the playoffs is much more intense than that in the regular season, and almost all teams that enter the playoffs will go all out and show their true strength!
This means that the playoffs are a real competition and a standard for testing a team's true strength.

Although Chen Hao's performance in the regular season was very impressive, he was able to put on a wonderful performance in every game.

But one strong person does not mean the entire team is strong, and the Celtics' lineup is not the most balanced.

The playoffs are about the balance of strength among players and the tacit cooperation between them.

For a player like Chen Hao who has super personal abilities, once he has problems, the impact on the team is bound to be huge.

For example, when Chen Hao was suspended for ten games, the Celtics' record became extremely bad.

Therefore, in the eyes of many experts, Chen Hao is both the Celtics' strength and their weakness.

In the playoffs, as long as they target Chen Hao madly, it would be equivalent to targeting the Celtics' weaknesses.

If Chen Hao encounters any accident or injury, it will cause huge problems for the Celtics.

There is even a possibility that they will be eliminated from the playoffs because of this, so Chen Hao has become the most critical link of the Celtics.

In fact, the experts can see this problem, and the Celtics management can also see this problem.

This is why Chen Hao can get rest time.

After all, many times, no one can predict what will happen tomorrow.

This is especially true for basketball games!

Chen Hao's playing style is very explosive, but it also increases his risk of injury.

Although Chen Hao has never suffered any injuries from the beginning of the season to now.

But this does not mean that Chen Hao will never get hurt. No one dares to guarantee it.

Therefore, the closer we get to the end of the regular season, the more cautious we should be!

Especially now that the Celtics management has new ideas about the team's goals today.

They hope that the Celtics can go further in the playoffs, which means they have to protect Chen Hao better.

So, this break came.

Naturally, Chen Hao had no objection to the team's arrangements.

Not having to play ball and still getting paid is really something to be happy about.

Although Chen Hao has enough confidence in his body, he cannot directly tell the management that I have a tungsten-titanium alloy physique and will not be injured at all!

Therefore, Chen Hao could only accept the team's arrangement and rest with peace of mind!

Moreover, this rest period is not just for one or two games.

Instead, it’s three games at a time, play three games and rest three games.

With only five games left in the regular season, Chen Hao lost the chance to play!

Despite this, the Celtics still achieved a record of 55 wins and 27 losses this season, ranking third in the Eastern Conference!
Thus, the 2007-2008 regular season came to a successful conclusion!
Although the Celtics' record is only ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

But since they were ranked at the bottom last season, the contrast is very obvious!

In this case, the Celtics head coach won the best head coach award!
Chen Hao has become a popular candidate for the regular season MVP.

In addition to the team's rapid improvement in performance, Chen Hao's personal data has overshadowed the stars of the entire league!

场均能够轰下36.8分12.8助攻13.5篮板5.5抢断5.5封盖！

Chen Hao's five statistics are all ranked first in the league!
So, after the regular season, Chen Hao has more titles!
Regular season scoring champion!

Regular season assists king!

Regular season rebounding champion!

Regular season steals king!

Regular season block king!

Chen Hao directly took the first place in five technical statistics!

This is the strongest player in NBA history!
Neither the basketball god Michael Jordan nor the basketball legend Chamberlain were able to achieve such an achievement!

After Chen Hao got this terrifying data, many NBA legends expressed their praise.

Scottie Pippen said this:

“I used to think Michael was the best player on the planet.

But after seeing Chen Hao play, I realized that my vision was too narrow!

If Jordan is the best player on the planet.

Then Chen Hao is the best basketball player in the universe, no doubt about it!"

Obviously, Pippen's remarks were a bit exaggerated, but no one dared to publicly refute his remarks.

Even Magic Johnson expressed his feelings:

"Although Scottie's words are a bit exaggerated, Chen Hao is undoubtedly the strongest player this season!

There is no other like it!

This is the strongest player I have ever seen!

Chen Hao's performance this season is perfect!

He is the best player in this league!"

Regarding Magic Johnson's remarks, even his good friend Larry Bird stood up and said with emotion:

“You always like to call me the King of Force.

I have always thought that I am good at showing off. But after seeing Chen Hao playing basketball.

I just realized that there is a kind of pretense that is the most deadly!
That's invisible pretense!
Obviously, what Chen Hao is best at is pretending to be cool invisibly!
He can install it accidentally!"

Chen Hao didn't take to heart all the praises from the outside world.

Now, he is actually still looking forward to the playoffs.

After all, this is the first time he has entered the playoffs in his career, and he also wants to feel the atmosphere and impact of the playoffs.

And with the end of the regular season, the playoff matchups have already been released!
The Eastern Conference matchups are:

Orlando Magic vs Atlanta Hawks;
Detroit Pistons vs. Philadelphia 76ers;

Boston Celtics vs. Toronto Raptors;

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Washington Wizards!

The first round of the Western Conference playoffs is as follows:

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets;
New Orleans Hornets vs. Dallas Mavericks;

San Antonio Spurs vs. Phoenix Suns;
Utah Jazz vs. Houston Rockets.

There is actually not much suspense about the first-round matchups in the Eastern Conference.

Many experts believe that the Celtics should not have too many difficulties in the first round against the Toronto Raptors.

After all, the Toronto Raptors' lineup is much weaker than that of the Celtics.

Moreover, judging from the matchups between the two teams in the regular season, the Celtics maintained an undefeated record.

Therefore, the first-round playoff game between the Celtics and the Toronto Raptors was considered to be without any suspense.

Of course, this so-called no suspense means that the Celtics will eventually advance.

But the overall score should be between 4-1 and 4-2.

After all, Toronto is a team that has entered the playoffs, and they still have the strength to win one or two games.

However, for the Celtics players, this is not allowed!

They will definitely not lose a game in the first round of the playoffs!
This was the promise Chen Hao made to his teammates, because he felt that losing in the first round of the playoffs was a very shameful thing!

Since the brand that Chen Hao is collaborating with the Kardashian sisters is in the marketing stage, Chen Hao needs to build a reputation for his brand at this time!
Therefore, under this circumstance, Chen Hao directly made a harsh statement during an interview with a reporter:

“I’m offering a bet here!
In this round of playoffs, we will sweep our opponent, the Toronto Raptors!
And we win every game by more than 20 points!
If you can't do that, I will give you my brand's clothing for free!

I'll give away as many as there are people who want them!
Of course, if you want to bet me on something else, I'll accept that too!

Anyway, this bet is valid for everyone!"

Chen Hao's arrogant remarks instantly set off the entire United States.

Even many people who don’t pay attention to NBA games were attracted by Chen Hao’s betting proposal!
So, before the start of the playoffs, Chen Hao was once again pushed to the forefront!
Many people and fans chose to bet with Chen Hao.

In order to make this bet, Chen Hao even created a special website. Fans only need to operate on the website to complete the bet!

The rules of betting are very simple, and there are prescribed betting agreements:

If the fans win, Chen Hao will give them clothing of his own brand.

If the fans lose, they will need to buy a piece of Chen Hao brand clothing, and the price is very cheap, only ten dollars.

As for free betting, you can choose various betting prizes, but the rules are the same. If what Chen Hao said is realized, Chen Hao wins, and if it is not realized, Chen Hao loses!

When Chen Hao’s personal betting website appeared, it was paralyzed after an hour!

Because too many people came in to bet with Chen Hao!
This is also the first time in NBA history that a player dared to openly bet with fans across the United States, and the way he bet was quite domineering!
When the Celtics management and players learned the rules of Chen Hao's bet, they were all worried for him.

Because they really think that what Chen Hao said this time was too harsh!

Forget about sweeping the Toronto Raptors; that's still possible.

But he actually said that they would win against their opponents by more than 20 points in every game. Does he really think the Raptors are made of paper?
Although their strength is not as good as the Celtics, there is a saying in the NBA:
"Never underestimate the heart of a championship!"

Therefore, the NBA playoffs have endless possibilities.

In fact, every season there are situations where the underdog defeats the overdog.

Moreover, the "black eight miracle" often happens.

Chen Hao's remarks were a blatant disregard for the Raptors, which would not only stimulate the Raptors' competitive spirit, but would also make their opponents even more angry!
This is not a good thing for the Celtics!
However, Chen Hao’s harsh words have already been made known, and there are already hundreds of thousands of people betting successfully on the betting website!

Therefore, even if Chen Hao wants to give in now, it is impossible!
Now, the expectations for this first round of the playoffs have been completely maxed out!

However, it has to be admitted that under Chen Hao's operation, his brand clothing has received unprecedented attention.

At the very least, advertising costs are saved directly, and many fans are even joking:

"We really like Chen Hao's brand of clothing, so we chose to bet with him!"

"Yes, I've seen the samples, they're really good, the design is very thoughtful and fashionable!"

"Although his brand of clothing is not expensive, it's better to be free!"

"Although I also hope that Brother Hao can easily win in the first round, it won't stop me from buying his brand of clothing for free!"

"Brother Hao, I'm sorry, I hope you win the game, and I also hope I can get your branded clothing for free!"

The Celtics' first playoff game against the Raptors is finally underway!
At the Celtics' home court!
This game was broadcast live all over the world and attracted a lot of attention.

The game hasn't even officially started yet, but the ratings are already close to last year's finals.

This result shocked the TV station that was broadcasting the game live, and even the NBA officials were frightened by the horrific ratings!
When David Stern heard the news, he said with emotion:

"Although this guy often shoots impulsively during the game.

But we have to admit that he knows how to attract attention!

This wave of marketing alone has greatly promoted his clothing brand!
I believe that after this series, whether he wins or loses, he is the final winner! "

David Stern knew the purpose of Chen Hao's public bet, which was simply to promote his brand of clothing.

At this time, the vice president of the alliance asked curiously:

"So, do you think he has a chance of winning this bet?"

After hearing the vice president's question, David Stern smiled and shook his head:

“No, no, no, even if he has such strength, I will not let him accomplish this feat easily!

After all, I was in on the bet!

Therefore, if he wants to win, he must first get past the referee!"

David Stern's words shocked the vice president:

"You let the referee deliberately favor the Raptors?"

"What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person? I just want them to be flexible in how they whistle!"

　I beg you to read this, to collect it, and to vote for me!
