On February 29, 2012, Anxi transferred the 2.5 million US dollars in his hand to his WhatsApp account, and signed an investment agreement with Kom. They invested 2.5 million US dollars, occupying 5% of WhatsApp’s shares, and completed the investment. Together with Anxi There is another professional investment company, Sequoia Capital, who has invested 8 million US dollars, occupying about 18% of WhatsApp. The remaining shares belong to Kom and Menachem-Rabin and another development. Akdon.

   Raising more than 10 million US dollars of investment at once, Koum can finally promote the continued development of WhatsApp. Next, he will develop an overseas version of WhatsApp.

   The popularity of WeChat in China and the beginning of WhatsApp's scale have made Anxi feel at ease about this investment. According to the development status of Internet companies in the United States in recent years, Anxi may be able to recoup the investment with a return of several tens of times in one or two years.

   After the All-Stars, the Spurs' first opponent was the Bulls. After half a season, the Spurs have not met the Bulls. For the four teams that have shown their title contenders this season, the Spurs have not met the Bulls. However, because this season is a shrinking season, the Spurs have also met the Bulls this season. In fact, the Heat and Spurs have only met once. When designing the schedule this season, the league took into account the long distance between the East and the West. , So there is only one game left in the game between the East and West teams in a season.

   There are a lot of games in the West. The Spurs and the Thunder have met three times, and there is still one left. The Spurs and the Lakers have not encountered each other in the first half of the season, and they have two more games in the second half of the season.

   This game against the Bulls, the league considered that there is only one game when designing. The home and away games were divided into the Spurs' home court. In this way, the Spurs can stay at home and wait for the Bulls to come.

The Bulls have suddenly risen in these two seasons. Last season, they overpowered the Heat that had just formed the Big Three and became the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. Derrick Rose also overpowered LeBron James to become the MVP of the regular season. Tom Thibodeau contributed a lot. It only took him one season to build the Bulls into a strong defensive team.

   In order to transform the Spurs into an offensive team, Popovich has spent two seasons, while Tom Thibodeau built the Bulls into a defensive team, but it took only one season. Tom Thibodeau's coaching skills can be seen.

Of course, Derrick Rose’s contribution is also great. The Bulls rely heavily on Derrick Rose on the offensive end. It can be said that the Bulls’ offense depends on Rose alone. Therefore, to fight the Bulls, the Spurs only need to be in the Bulls’ high-pressure chain. Playing his own offense under the defensive style and locking Derrick Rose at the same time, this game will definitely be won.

   The two teams didn't have much saliva before the game. After all, they are just two unrelated teams. Unlike the Thunder and Spurs, which have a direct competitive relationship in the West, or the Lakers and Spurs have historical hatred.

Tom Thibodeau led the Bulls to the AT&T Arena in a low-key manner, while Gregg Popovich was carrying Manu Ginobi. Lee participated in the press conference before the game.

To fight the Bulls, this battle must be won. The Spurs’ goals this season are already obvious. They must win all the first battles against their opponents. The Spurs must prove their strength and use these against their direct opponents. The victory of the game to give yourself confidence.

   So at the press conference, Gregg Popovich rarely yelled: "This game, the Spurs will win!"

   And an hour later, Tom Thibodeau, who also held a pre-match press conference on the other side of the arena, only smiled and did not speak after hearing the reports from the reporters.

The game started in this inexplicable atmosphere. It seems that the two teams performed very peacefully, especially the Bulls, as if they didn’t care about the game, but the roaring from the visiting team’s locker room seemed to be before the game started. Exposed everything.

   Tom Thibodeau really didn’t care about this game? Of course it is impossible!

"Perhaps many people don’t know that Mr. Gregg Popovich, the head coach of the Spurs, has already made a conclusion of the game before the game. He thinks the Spurs will win the game. By the way, his The original words are: This game, the Spurs will win! I don't know what you think, but I just can't bear it! The game hasn't started yet! Will the Spurs win? Are our Bulls so bad? "

  ……

The roar of Tom Thibodeau in the visiting team's locker room, the arena staff outside the locker room heard a general idea, but they did not show too much surprise. They have seen this scene a lot, and many coaches like to use this Remarks, such a roar to stimulate the team's fighting spirit, even some coaches who are known for their chicken soup, roar more than Tom Thibodeau.

   In contrast, the home team's locker room is much quieter. Gregg Popovich has been in charge of the Spurs for so many years, the Spurs have long formed their team culture, low-key, persistent, and winning! There is no need for him to roar or think about so many chicken soup remarks. If you say a few plain words before the game, you don't need to worry about the next game. The players will come up with their best condition to win.

The game started very quickly. In this game, Anxi is still a substitute, starting with Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Tim Duncan and Thiago Splitter, and the Bulls are the starting point guard. Derek Rose, starting shooting guard Richard Hamilton~www.novelmtl.com~ Starting small forward Ruel Deng, starting power forward Carlos Boozer, starting center Joe Jin Noah.

It is worth mentioning that the Spurs signed a new player after the All-Stars, Justin Duntmund, who played for the Austin Bulls, the NBDL Spurs subordinate team, because of their outstanding performance in the NBDL and the Spurs’ lack of a second point guard. , And reached a ten-day short contract with the Spurs. If Popovich's requirements can be met, a formal contract will be signed.

   And this game Justin Duntmund also entered the big list, I don't know what kind of contribution it can bring to the Spurs.

It is also worth mentioning that this game was broadcast live on ESPN in the United States. It was Spurs legend Sean Elliott who explained the game. Anxi saw a very funny scene before the game when Tim Duncan walked to the technical stage. When he was nearby, Sean Elliott hurriedly put away all the things in front of him, and then ran away from his seat. He was stunned to see An Xi. An Xi didn't understand until Tony Parker introduced the two people as "grudges".

   It turns out that when Sean Elliott played for the Spurs, he was pushed down by Tim Duncan and thrown a towel...

Of course, these were just jokes. A few seconds later, Sean Elliott and Tim Duncan had a lively chat. Gregg Popovich joined them. Anxi even knew that Gregg Popovich was the most My favorite chat partner is Sean Elliott, and the two of them share a common topic.
