The longest river

Chapter 219 "Scottie, the truth is often cruel"

Jordan's emergence was somewhat unexpected, but not entirely incomprehensible.

After all, Jordan is now a minority owner of the Warriors, and the Bay Area is not only close to Las Vegas, but also not far from Los Angeles.

Pippen became even more excited when he saw Jordan appear.

He had every reason to believe that Jordan came for him, after all, he had publicly stated to the media on Media Day that Jordan was his GOAT.

"As of now, the Trail Blazers, having lost Pippen compared to last season, are unlikely to be a match for this Lakers team."

Before the match began, Albert started his analysis from the commentary booth, and his statement was not without merit, given the poor performances of Sura and Kemp.

"Correct, but not entirely correct."

Barkley immediately corrected Albert's statement.

Albert frowned. Barkley, this "newcomer," had been going against him as soon as he arrived at the commentary booth, and to make matters worse, the official organizers had arranged for the two of them to commentate on the game together.

"In fact, the Trail Blazers won the championship last season without Pippen, or rather, they could have won it more easily without Pippen," Barkley then offered his conclusion.

“That’s a meaningless assumption,” Albert immediately retorted.

"As a player on the Trail Blazers last season and someone who helped them defend their title, I think what I'm saying is true." Barkley was really going against Abbott.

He, a born "Yang fanboy," and Albert, a "Yang hater," are like cat and mouse, natural enemies.

Albert was speechless, realizing that no matter how much he said, it would never be as convincing as Barkley's personal experience.

"But it will still be very difficult for them to beat the Lakers, given the two teams' records in December." Albert could only look to the court.

Barkley may have a big mouth and a lot of talk, but he'll soon be proven wrong by reality.

O'Neal won possession for the Lakers in the jump ball, and the game began immediately.

After the Lakers set up their frontcourt, O'Neal, Pippen, and Fox formed a triangle on the strong side.

Pippen passed the ball to O'Neal under the basket.

O'Neal received the ball and held it above his head. Seeing that the Trail Blazers had chosen to double-team him, he quickly passed the ball back to Pippen.

Pippen made a new tactical gesture, and O'Neal continued to establish position, but Kobe set an off-ball screen with Oakley on the weak side, and Pippen immediately passed the ball to Kobe.

After receiving the ball, Kobe Bryant took a fadeaway jumper over Wallace's defense at the free-throw line and made it, giving the Lakers the lead.

The Trail Blazers' offensive focus at the start of the game was on Wallace, who continued his consistent performance throughout the season, hitting Oakley's signature turnaround fadeaway jumper in the low post.

The tough Oakley seemed frozen in place, only managing a token gesture.

Although Wallace is an inside player, he is far more agile than the average inside player, and the 37-year-old Oakley is clearly struggling to keep up with his pace.

The Trail Blazers continued to double-team O'Neal on defense, and Pippen continued to pass the ball to Kobe on the weak side.

However, this time, Sura, known for his aggressiveness, bypassed the screen and rushed to Kobe's side.

Kobe quickly switched to isolation mode, dribbled to the free-throw line, and then pulled up for a fadeaway jumper that went in.

Compared to last season's game where he suffered four consecutive misses and three losses, the Kobe Bryant who started the game right now feels unfamiliar.

But that's what Kobe's progress is all about.

As of now, Kobe is averaging 28 points per game this season, making him the second-best shooting guard in the league.

If Yang Shuai were classified as a small forward this season, he would be the best shooting guard.

The Trail Blazers continued to target Wallace, this time focusing on catch-and-shoot offense after off-ball pick-and-rolls.

Billups' passes are very timely, and as he gains more possession of the ball, his passing accuracy is also increasing.

Wallace successfully bypassed Kobe's defense and took a shot, but Oakley showed his experience on this play. Instead of going for Sura, he pulled back early and swatted Wallace's shot off the backboard.

However, before the audience could even begin to celebrate, Wallace displayed his agility, snatching the rebounding basketball first and then leaping into the air.

Oakley turned to jump and block, but as before, he couldn't keep up with Wallace's speed and could only reach Wallace's arm with his desperate reach.

"Oh!"

Wallace, with his long arms, slammed the ball into the basket over Oakley.

After completing the dunk, Wallace roared excitedly to vent his emotions.

The Trail Blazers' bench erupted in cheers, while Staples Center was in an uproar.

Just like Isaiah Thomas in the opening game, the Lakers' attention was focused on Young, and in the end, they suffered a great loss because they did not pay enough attention to Wallace, just like the Pacers.

Kobe's consecutive scores drew the Blazers' defense, and O'Neal was no longer double-teamed when he received the ball in the low post.

He also quickly took on Kemp one-on-one.

The only advantage of Kemp gaining weight is that he can go head-to-head with O'Neal.

However, O'Neal quickly scored with a nimble spin hook shot.

After scoring, O'Neal raised his hands and gave Kemp a mocking look.

Compared to Sabonis, who has both weight and height, Kemp is much easier to beat.

The Lakers showed their excellent form from the start, which explains their winning streak.

Turning around, they also disrupted Wallace's attack by attacking from both sides.

The only area where Wallace still needs improvement is his ability to break double teams.

After all, he rarely encountered situations where he was double-teamed before.

O'Neal received the ball in the low post and this time showed off his footwork, delivering a powerful pass to Kemp to force him to lower his center of gravity. Then, he used his elbow to create space, turned around, and threw Kemp behind him before delivering a powerful two-handed slam to the rim.

He looks to be in even better form this season than last season.

After landing, O'Neal got excited and turned around to mock Kemp.

"How did you come to be called 'the ruler'?"

Kemp's original nickname was not "Rain Man," but "The Ruler," a nickname given by commentator Kevin Calabro during a match to praise his dominance.

However, "Reign" and "Rain" sound somewhat similar, and the nickname "Rain Man" is more distinctive, so Rain Man is known to more people.

But coincidentally, O'Neal himself had given himself the nickname "Dominance".

Kemp was so angry he was about to explode, but Wallace held him back.

As O'Neal started trash-talking, the atmosphere on the court became increasingly tense.

However, this was bound to happen sooner or later. Given the long-standing rivalry between the two teams, it would be abnormal if there wasn't any tension between them.

Yang Shuai started to move to the high post, backing down against Fox, and reached out for the ball.

He jumped to catch Billups' pass, and as he landed, he reset his pivot foot.

Fox couldn't figure out Yang Shuai's offensive intentions and was momentarily unsure which side to defend on.

Just as he was hesitating, Yang Shuai turned to the right and broke through with a low center of gravity, leaving him behind.

Yang Shuai drove into the paint and attempted a dunk, but Oakley retreated to the basket and fouled Yang Shuai, sending him to the free-throw line.

Yang Shuai stepped up to the free-throw line, but instead smiled and looked at O'Neal.

"Whom do you rule?"

Kemp may not deserve the title of ruler, but who did you, O'Neal, rule?
Is it the kind of dominance where they get swept in the finals?

Or is it a hard-fought victory, or a decisive defeat?
Oh, you've never won.

O'Neal's face was gloomy; he hadn't gone to provoke Yang Shuai.

Kemp looked at Yang Shuai with gratitude, clearly Yang Shuai was standing up for him.

Despite the interference from the crowd, Yang Shuai made his first free throw with ease.

"You don't actually think that just because you've surpassed Chamberlain in scoring and become the all-time leading scorer, you're the most dominant player, do you?"

Yang Shuai smiled and looked at O'Neal after making the free throw.

O'Neal's gloomy face instantly turned red; Yang Shuai had hit the nail on the head regarding his deepest thoughts.

Yang Shuai was also taken aback when he saw O'Neal's reaction.

Helping Kemp was just a side thing; he simply hated O'Neal, that racist.

Surprisingly, this criticism hit the nail on the head.

It turns out that even the idea that becoming the all-time leading scorer automatically makes you the GOAT isn't exclusive to any one person.

"I think you should think more about whether you'll be kicked out if the season goes badly."

Before the second free throw, Yang Shuai gave O'Neal a piece of realistic advice.

If OK really has to break up, the one who will most likely be let go is Shaquille O'Neal, who is already 29 years old.

Youth is always an asset, especially considering Kobe's rapid progress.

Perhaps Yang Shuai's words disturbed O'Neal's thoughts, or perhaps Kemp was fired up after hearing Yang Shuai's words, because O'Neal's low-post one-on-one shot missed the basket.

Kemp secured the defensive rebound, and the Trail Blazers launched a fast break.

The Lakers' starting lineup has a high average height, which makes them effective in half-court defense, but they are at a disadvantage in open play.

Yang Shuai advanced down the wing and received a long pass from Billups. Seeing Kobe heading straight for him, he didn't attack but instead threw the ball directly into the middle of the air.

Wallace quickly followed up in the middle and, guided by Yang Shuai's pass, soared into the air for a visually stunning one-handed alley-oop dunk.

The scene was in an uproar.

The visual impact of a dunk comes from two things: jumping ability and wingspan. Even if a tall person with a long wingspan doesn't jump very high, the visual impact they can still be maximized.

"The NBA season is a long process. You will encounter injuries and ups and downs in form, and you can't focus on every game. But game form and team strength are not the same thing."

Barkley also seized the opportunity to start attacking Albert.

"It's like when you and your wife are working on a four-wheel alignment. You can't get her to Paradise Island every night, but there are always some nights you can manage to."

He didn't forget to tease Albert.

Albert's face was flushed, and he could only look at the court, hoping that the Lakers could turn the tide.

However, the course of the competition did not unfold as he had hoped.

The Lakers' use of Fox to defend Young was not very effective in this quarter.

Compared to his defense, this guy with curly hair and a full beard seems to have a greater talent for entertainment. ①
Yang Shuai and Wallace's strong-side and weak-side offenses also created a similar "OK" effect of mutual restraint.

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead, 30-26.

However, after the bench players took over, the Trail Blazers began to fall behind.

Pippen's departure, Sabonis' injury, and the poor form of Sura and Kemp have impacted the Trail Blazers not so much on their starting lineup strength, but rather on their roster depth.

Carlisle has now assigned Billups to lead the team, but it will take some time for Billups to become a true leader.

Thanks to their roster depth, the Lakers led the Trail Blazers 58-51 at halftime.

"Charles, it looks like the Trail Blazers won't be able to reach Paradise Island tonight."

Albert finally found an outlet for his emotions.

However, Barkley not only remained confident in the Trail Blazers, but also, like Jordan, he loved to gamble and blurted out his opinion.

"How about we make a bet?"

Upon hearing the word "bet," Albert reflexively thought of the bet he made with Ernie Johnson, and he still vividly remembered that wasabi.

However, recalling how Barkley had always opposed him and how he often suffered setbacks, he thought tonight would be a good opportunity to retaliate, so he directly discussed it with Barkley.

The two quickly made a bet: the loser would have to wear beach shorts to the next episode of "NBA Insider."

After halftime, the Trail Blazers made adjustments on the defensive end, starting to double-team O'Neal and Kobe simultaneously, allowing the rest of the Lakers to shoot.

However, the Lakers seized the opportunity, with Fox and Pippen each hitting a three-pointer.

Barkley is right, but the Lakers' winning streak is also largely due to their form, which is largely reflected in the role players' ability to seize opportunities.

Furthermore, the Lakers made defensive adjustments after the second half, changing their defender from Fox to Pippen to guard Yang Shuai.

Pippen is a big man, and Yang Shuai and Kemp's pick-and-roll three-point attempt from the outside failed to hit.

The Lakers launched a fast break, with Pippen assisting Kobe for a powerful dunk.

The Lakers pressed on and widened the gap to double digits.

At that moment, Pippen finally couldn't contain his excitement and vented his resentment at Yang Shuai.

“I know about Whitchett’s relationship with you. He must have contacted you during the transaction. Why didn’t you let him keep me here?”

"Have you forgotten what you said, 'Scottie, I need you'? Is this how you treat someone you need?"

Pippen chattered on and on in front of Yang Shuai like a complaining woman.

Yang Shuai ignored him. He was no longer the high school student he was when he first entered the NBA, and neither was Pippen. The adult world didn't care about such trivial matters. Pippen, seeing Yang Shuai's attitude, became completely enraged.

"That's how it is, you and Michael are both like this, as if I can't succeed without you!"

"Just you wait, you'll end up like Michael, never winning a championship again without me!"

"I will bury you the way I buried Michael!"

Pippen gritted his teeth and screamed hysterically, and Yang Shuai finally responded.

He made a tactical gesture, and the Trail Blazers started a pick-and-roll.

This time, however, the pick-and-roll wasn't done by Kemp, but by Wallace.

This choice was somewhat unexpected, because when playing pick-and-roll against the Lakers, the usual strategy is to exploit O'Neal's weakness on the defensive end, where he can't get out of the box.

This time, Yang Shuai did not choose to shoot from the outside after the pick-and-roll, but instead drove straight inside with the ball.

His drives were so threatening that they forced the Lakers to double-team him.

Once the double team was formed, he passed the ball behind his head towards the three-point line.

After the pick-and-roll, Wallace bounced out to the outside and got a wide-open three-point opportunity.

When Carlisle first arrived in Portland, he began to coach Wallace on his three-point shooting. This season, with Wallace having more touches, he attempts 3.5 three-pointers per game and has a 37.5% success rate.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Wallace's three-pointer went in cleanly.

Yang Shuai's outside shooting was mediocre tonight, but Wallace was on fire from the start.

This three-pointer became the start of the Trail Blazers' comeback.

Because they were wary of Wallace's three-point shooting, the Lakers didn't dare to double-team Yang Shuai easily.

However, without double-teaming, Yang Shuai can easily break into the three-second zone with the ball.

Whether scoring himself or assisting Kemp under the basket, Yang Shuai activated his ball-handling mastermind mode, quickly revitalizing the Trail Blazers' offense.

The Lakers could only try to double-team Yang Shuai again, but Wallace hit another three-pointer from the same spot, leaving the Lakers completely helpless.

After this quarter, the Trail Blazers not only erased the deficit but also took the lead.

The significance of the Trail Blazers' tactical adjustments for the new season was evident at this moment. Wallace's confidence and ability have both improved, and he has stepped up in crucial moments.

During the third and fourth quarters when the bench players connected, the Lakers still had the upper hand. However, when it came to the decisive moments of the final quarter, just like the Trail Blazers couldn't handle the OK pick-and-roll in the playoffs, the Lakers also couldn't handle the pick-and-roll between Young and Wallace, which was like "choosing one of two poisons." At least not tonight.

When the Lakers' defense faltered, their offense also went cold.

They could have used the same tactics against Kobe, but the conflict between O'Neal and Kobe has become public this season, and it's all thanks to Pippen that things are going. O'Neal will absolutely not set screens for Kobe anymore.

With one minute left in the game, Yang Shuai attacked the Lakers' paint and scored a three-point play over O'Neal, extending the lead to five points and effectively sealing the game.

Yang Shuai stepped to the free-throw line, still smiling, but this time he was looking at Pippen instead of O'Neal.

"Scottie, I actually lied to you."

Pippen looked up, unsure of what Yang Shuai was referring to. Just when he thought Yang Shuai was apologizing for what he had said before, Yang Shuai's next words left him stunned.

"I said Michael couldn't win a championship without you just to provoke him. No one can win a championship without you. You just happened to be in that position. If there was no Scottie Pippen, there would be LeBron Pippen. They (the management) will always find that person."

Yang Shuai confidently sank the free throw, effectively sealing the victory.

It must be admitted that Pippen was lucky. He met Jordan at the beginning of his career, and immediately became teammates with Yang Shuai after leaving Jordan.

Luck is part of skill, just like Robert Horry, who always seems to be lucky enough to find that championship team in history.

But everything changed with the arrival of Yang Shuai, and now Horry can only waste his time in Cleveland.

Pippen will soon realize this.

This is the cruel truth.

After the game, Yang Shuai sat in the locker room for a short while when Jordan came to the locker room and asked him to go to a coffee shop outside to chat for a while.

It wasn't just the two of them; there was also the female companion that Jordan brought along.

It was during Jordan's introduction that Yang Shuai learned that it was the president's assistant assigned to Jordan by the Warriors.

Clearly, Jordan's trip to Los Angeles to watch the game wasn't for Pippen, but for him.

During the ensuing conversation, Yang Shuai learned from the assistant the purpose of Jordan's trip.

Portland may have an owner willing to invest in the team and a group of passionate fans, but the city's football market is too small.

Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and the Bay Area are all much larger than this place.

If Yang Shuai were to join the Warriors in the future, the Warriors would move from Oakland to San Francisco, and it wouldn't be long before they surpassed the Lakers and Knicks to become the most valuable team in the league.

Yang Shuai didn't think the female assistant was just making empty promises, because before he traveled through time, the Warriors, led by Curry, had indeed moved from Oakland to San Francisco, and their market value in the Bay Area had indeed surpassed that of Los Angeles and New York.

If he goes, he will only make the Warriors better.

"I would consider it if the opportunity arises in the future."

Yang Shuai phrased it tactfully, but the meaning was actually quite clear.

Back when he sat in Thaddeus's car, looking at the luxurious houses in Beverly Hills, he had indeed longed for it.

But when the amount of money reaches a certain level, it becomes a string of numbers.

Rather than making that number bigger, Yang Shuai would rather make himself more comfortable.

Now in Portland, he's like an emperor, just like when he talked to Kemp before. He can make Whitsett obediently return from the football team to the basketball team with just a word.

But if he joined the Warriors, Jordan's personality was so strong, and his judgment was surprisingly poor.

Although he learned from Pippen that playing with Jordan was a painful experience, he would rather play with Jordan than work with Jordan as an owner.

Moreover, he doesn't necessarily have to go through the sports field to make money.

After seeing Jordan off, Yang Shuai shook his head as he watched the car drive away.

He suddenly remembered something very interesting.

When someone is crossing the street, they curse the drivers for not looking where they're going; but when someone is driving, they curse the pedestrians for not looking where they're walking.

With Mav Albert appearing in beach shorts on the latest episode of TNT, the Christmas Day show continues to generate buzz.

Although it was just a regular season game, and although the Trail Blazers' performance this season was clearly not as strong as last season, people believe that the Trail Blazers still have the possibility of completing a dynasty.

Of course, not everything is good news.

Kemp lost weight down to 135 kilograms in one go, which made Yang Shuai feel that he had underestimated what he had said. Kemp might really have a chance to return to his peak.

But within the next week, Kemp's weight ballooned back to 138 kilograms and he couldn't lose it anymore.

Losing weight is not difficult for professional athletes, but for someone like Kemp, it's not just about losing weight.

The most fatal point is that once you get hooked on flour, it's impossible to completely give it up. How many people would choose flour over their lives?

Drug addicts and gamblers have no way back.

On the bright side, Kemp's efforts during this period prevented the Trail Blazers from experiencing a significant drop in performance before Sabonis' return, so Yang Shuai's initial remarks were not in vain.

Time flies, and it's already the end of January. The All-Star voting results for the new year have been released.

This voting result has fans extremely excited, not only because Yang Shuai has completed his third consecutive All-Star vote-getter title, but more importantly, because the "Four Great Shooting Guards" and "Five Great Forwards" that fans are familiar with have all gathered in this All-Star Game.

Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Jermaine O'Neal became the starters in the East, while Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and Tim Duncan became the starters in the West, and Chris Webber and Rasheed Wallace became the reserves in the West.

If last year's All-Star Game made people realize the transition between the old and new eras, then this year's All-Star Game, especially with Grant Hill, Mourning, O'Neal and others missing due to injury as the All-Star Game approached, truly became the stage for the new generation.

This has given fans an unprecedented sense of anticipation.

They haven't lost interest in the NBA like they did when Jordan first retired; instead, this vibrant era, led by Yang Shuai, is full of new enthusiasm.

On the first day of All-Star Weekend, Yang Shuai unexpectedly spotted Wang Zhizhi in the Rising Stars Challenge.

Because the Trail Blazers had many internal problems this season, he didn't pay attention to Wang Zhizhi, who had already entered the NBA.

After seeing the other person, he learned that Wang Zhizhi was Nowitzki's backup for the Mavericks this season, averaging about 14 minutes of playing time and 7 points and 3 rebounds per game.

His scoring primarily comes from three-pointers, averaging 2.4 three-point attempts per game this season with a 41.4% three-point shooting percentage.

Yang Shuai had never heard of Wang Zhizhi being selected for any rookie tournament in China, because if he had, it would definitely be listed on his career resume, and Yang Shuai, who was born in 00, would most likely have heard about it.

It seems that joining the NBA early is a good thing for Wang Zhizhi.

However, this was to be expected. Historically, Wang Zhizhi went to the NBA immediately after winning the championship with the Bayi team. He only participated in 5 games at the end of the season. Like Yao Ming, he adapted hastily and entered the offseason in a daze after playing only a few games, becoming a second-year player.

As things stand, he's now entering the team's normal development plan step by step.

Moreover, the overall poor quality of this year's rookies has given Wang Zhizhi an opportunity.

Although the Mavericks have Dirk Nowitzki, who has a similar style but better talent, Wang Zhizhi was destined to have little chance of success with the Mavericks. However, this starting point is still a little better than in history.

As the All-Star Weekend entered its second day, Yang Shuai, born in the 00s, gradually became more familiar to everyone.

The winner of the Three-Point Contest was Ray Allen, whom my deskmate said was even greater than Curry and "saved James' career (which my deskmate vehemently denied)."

The final day of All-Star Weekend is also the main event that fans are most looking forward to.

Eastern Conference starting lineup: Iverson, Carter, McGrady, Anthony Mason, O'Neal

Western Conference Starting Lineup: Kidd, Kobe, Yang, Garnett, Duncan

Right after the game started, the fans were treated to a top-notch visual feast.

Last year's All-Star Game saw the two teams play for only five minutes before Hill forcibly pulled them back onto the path of making Jordan the MVP. But this year, not only is Jordan absent, but neither team's starting lineup even has a true center.

The inevitable result of this is that the offensive pace on the field is accelerated to an extreme degree.

Even in this fast-paced environment, there is a constant stream of exciting scenes.

In the very first possession, Yang Shuai delivered an alley-oop dunk to Garnett, evoking memories for some AAU fans and prompting many to imagine what it would be like if Yang Shuai and Garnett played together.

After all, while Wallace was strong, Garnett and Duncan were clearly a level above all other forwards.

But fans quickly changed their minds, because in the next possession, Carter used a crossover to get past Kobe and then executed a 360° spin dunk.

This year's Slam Dunk Contest was rather dull without Carter, but in the main event, Carter did not disappoint the viewers who were waiting in front of their TVs.

However, the cheers of the fans had not long subsided when an even more exciting scene unfolded during a fast break by the Western Conference team.

After receiving the ball on the wing, Garnett did not choose to shoot immediately, but instead lobbed the ball into the air in the middle after attracting the defense.

Yang Shuai received a pass from Garnett in the middle and immediately executed an alley-oop windmill dunk.

This immediately sent the entire stadium into a frenzy.

And this excitement continues to unfold.

Not wanting to be outdone, Kobe Bryant unleashed his signature gliding dunk on a fast break.

McGrady paid tribute to Yang Shuai in last year's All-Star Game with a self-alley-oop dunk off the backboard;

Iverson then pulled off a spectacular drive, a mid-air spin move, and a layup over Duncan, scoring a 2+1.

Even Kidd joined in the fun, showcasing a brilliant behind-the-back fake pass followed by a layup during a fast break.

"This is the most exciting All-Star Game in NBA history!"

Kenny Smith, who was in the commentary booth, couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is the most prosperous era of the NBA."

Barkley, standing nearby, offered a deeper reflection.

Every year's All-Star Game is full of stars, but none of them are this kind of pure, fast-paced basketball.

This style of basketball might not be very effective in actual games under the current rules, but it's perfect for exhibition-style All-Star games.

More importantly, this is truly an era of explosive talent, where every young player has their own unique skill, rather than just monotonous back-to-the-basket moves.

The two sides were evenly matched in the starting lineup, but after the rotation, the Spanish team gradually showed their talent advantage.

This season, the Western Conference's overall record is significantly stronger than the Eastern Conference's, and this strength is reflected in the difference in the overall quality of the star players.

As the game entered the final quarter, the Western Conference team had already taken a commanding 19-point lead over the Eastern Conference team, 89-70.

Although Jordan led the Eastern Conference team to a successful comeback in the second half during last year's All-Star Game, the score difference this year clearly indicates that the outcome is already decided.

Smith and Barkley in the commentary booth have already started discussing who will win the MVP award.

This year, because everyone was having a lot of fun, the ball possession wasn't concentrated in one person's hands.

Yang Shuai was the highest scorer for the Western Conference team with 16 points, while Garnett, Duncan, and Kobe all scored 14 points. The MVP award is still quite uncertain.
