Sweep, the Storm actually swept the Trail Blazers. At the beginning of the season, many people regarded the Trail Blazers as the favorites to win the championship!
Last year's weak team only added a former All-Star insider Olajuwon and a Chinese rookie this year, and it actually passed the first round of the playoffs and seemed to have some strength left.
Three days later, Paul Allen still remembered that after the game, Feng Yu called him to invite him to dinner to celebrate.
He hated it so much that he could never have imagined that his team had more stars, higher wages, paid luxury tax, and yet they actually lost! That idiot team manager needs to be fired, and that coach needs to be fired too. It’s not as good as Adelman from before!
But he also cursed Feng Yu, saying he would never make it to the finals, not even the Spurs in the second round!
What he never expected was that the Wind and Rain team won again in the second round. This time it wasn't Olajuwon who exploded, but Carter and Pierce. These two destroyed the Spurs' perimeter. In the second round of the series, both averaged more than 25 points per game! The shooting percentages are over 50%. This is the playoffs.
To be honest, Feng Yu was also surprised. He didn't expect that the young man's charge was quite impactful. As for Rodman, his defensive intensity immediately increased to a higher level once the playoffs arrived.
Next, it turned out to be a Los Angeles derby, which was heavily promoted by the league.
Storm Team VS Lakers!
Originally, many people were optimistic about the Lakers. Even at the beginning of the playoffs, many people put the Lakers' winning odds first.
However, the Fengyu team came all the way with a dark horse attitude, which people really dare not underestimate. What's more, although the big fat man is very dominant under the basket, he may not be as dominant as Olajuwon. After all, the first time the big fat man entered the finals was taught by Olajuwon!
Feng Yu is actually not very optimistic about his team's victory. The big fat man is at his peak at this time, and no one can defend him alone. Fortunately, the Lakers' outside line isn't very good either, and Kobe hasn't grown into killer mode yet. Others are not very good at defending.
"Everyone, do you have the confidence to defeat the Lakers? This arena is called the Wind and Rain Arena. If the Lakers win, our whole team will be embarrassed." Feng Yu said, clapping his hands.
Everyone was silent, and coach Karl said: "Boss, don't worry, I have a way to deal with that big fat man, just like the Spurs dealt with him last year. Don't forget, we have several substitute insiders."
Shark-killing tactics!
The big fat guy just sucks at free throws, otherwise his achievements would be higher.
"In these games, we will mainly attack from the outside. And we have to play fast. That big fat guy can't run." George Karl's best tactic is defensive counterattack. Now getting these players is even more powerful. What's more, Olajuwon himself is the kind of player with his own system.
"Very good. If you can win the championship this year, I will never be soft when it comes to renewing your contract in the future. The luxury tax is nothing to me. What I want is to win!"
Carter, Pierce and others' eyes lit up. What they were most worried about was that after the contract expired, they could only renew one of them. If they could both stay and get big contracts, that would of course be better. They were worried about They still recognized each other's strength very much.
And Lewis, Billups, Alston and others have also secretly determined that they must fight hard this year, for the big contract... ahem, for the championship!
"Dazhi, you haven't played much time in these games. Do you have any thoughts?" Feng Yu asked.
Da Zhi was a little shy: "I don't have any ideas. I will work hard to practice defense and speed up my speed."
Dazhi's defense is below average, not as good as those blue-collar insiders. If it weren't for his good shooting skills, George Karl wouldn't let him play at all.
While Feng Yu was encouraging the players on the team, Paul Allen placed a heavy bet in a betting company that the Lakers would win the championship, and then called Feng Yu.
Kirilenko happened to be nearby, and he asked Feng Yu, how much did Paul Allen buy, one million dollars? Okay, I’ll buy it for two million dollars, and Team Wind and Rain will win the championship!
Feng Yu thought about it and bought two million, betting that his team would win. Team owners cannot bet on football, but Feng Yu and others also use other people's names, such as Ralph.
After learning that both Feng Yu and Kirilenko believed that the Wind and Rain team would win, Paul Allen looked disdainful. These two people didn't understand football at first sight.
Who of you can guard against that big fat guy in Los Angeles? More than 30 points and more than ten rebounds in a game, but you still haven't destroyed your inside line. If the Lakers hadn't sold it, I would have bought it long ago. Olajuwon, it would be okay if he were five years younger. Now, he is definitely no match for that fat man!
Since Feng Yu sold Microsoft's shares, Microsoft's stock price has been falling. Although the decline is not large, and it has risen a bit since the release of the new system this year, it has still fallen a bit overall.
And Feng Yu didn't know how he found out that Enron's financial fraud caused Enron's blue-chip stock to plummet, causing the stocks of many related companies to follow suit.
Coupled with the current decline in network technology stocks as a whole, it seems that Microsoft's market value will shrink a lot this year.
It's all Feng Yu's fault!
Therefore, Paul Allen will not miss any opportunity to ridicule Feng Yu. He will let Feng Yu know that the team you bought at a high price and hired an All-Star with a high salary are all in vain!
…
The big fat man glared at the blue-collar center of the Storm Team. It's only been a while. You've already committed four fouls. Can't you defend normally? Why are you always holding my arm? Every game is like this, can you still play basketball
But the blue-collar center looked at him unceremoniously and muttered: "I guess you don't dare to take action, you coward!"
This was a tactic arranged by George Karl to anger the big fat man and disrupt his rhythm.
The big fat man was past the age of impulsiveness, so he endured his anger... and missed both free throws. Then I watched Rodman grab the rebound and pass it to Billups. Billups made a long pass. Carter took three steps directly and dunked with a tomahawk!
When Carter passed by Kobe, he said, "Hey, how does it feel to be someone's little brother?"
So Kobe fell into singles mode again, destroying the Lakers' overall tactics. However, Carter's physical fitness was quite strong at this time, and Kobe's jump shot was inaccurate today, so the point difference further widened.
The coach who looked like Grandpa KFC also looked depressed at this time. They lost to the Spurs last year, and they lost to the Storm this year. Can't this damn fat guy practice free throws well? Didn’t I tell you not to foul Olajuwon? Why didn’t you listen
That Kobe is not as good as Jordan, but he has the same disease as Jordan, he is conceited! Always stuck in singles mode, don't you know that when Jordan was playing unlimited singles, he never entered the finals
When he remembered the midfield whistle, Feng Yu really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh. The Lakers were actually defeated by them!
The Pacers are left, also a perimeter team. At this time, Olajuwon is amazing again! Even if he has old arms and legs and doesn't score much, he can still beat the Pacers' inside line! Let them not dare to attack casually after committing a foul, and Carter, Pierce and others can attack the inside at will.
Four to two, the Los Angeles Storm turned out to be a dark horse this year and won the NBA championship!
At this moment, Coach Karl and others cried with joy. This was their first championship trophy. Feng Yu had an incredible expression and laughed wildly, actually winning.
Kirilenko laughed excitedly: "Feng, we won, we bought it!"
What he was excited about was not the money he made from gambling, but the fact that he won the bet with Paul Allen! That arrogant old guy has long been disliked by him!
Paul Allen stared blankly at the TV, which showed the Fengyu team celebrating. This was the first championship trophy in the team's history, and it was in the second year after Feng Yu took over the team! Although Feng Yu was wearing sunglasses at this time, you could still see the corners of his mouth turned up, with the look of a winner in life, which made him tremble with anger.
Bang~~A puff of black smoke came out of Paul Allen's TV.
Am I really the loser in life compared to Feng Yu
