"Paul, do you want to bet again? I bet on this one, oh, no, I bet on the Storm team winning this series." Kirilenko, sitting next to Feng Yu, said.
This year the Nets are in bad shape again and are second to last in the league, but there is no frustration on Kirilenko's face. Ordinarily, with the strength of the Nets, the playoffs will be a little difficult, but they won't be second to last.
To put it bluntly, this year's rookies are said to be good, and Kirilenko plans to get another No. 1 pick. Last year's No. 1 pick was a bit watered down, or the quality of that draft's rookies was not high. This time the two No. 1 picks cooperate with Kidd, and they will definitely enter the playoffs.
The knee injury that seriously degraded Kidd's athletic ability in his previous life has not happened in this life. Kidd can still make a very good breakthrough. Because it is obvious that he is a bad player, Kidd has even been placed on the injured list in many away games. On vacation.
It can be said that if one or two good rookies are selected this year, the Nets will definitely soar!
Kirilenko also likes basketball. He couldn't watch his own team, so he came to support Feng Yu's team.
"You bet on the Storm team to win? Okay, how about we bet bigger this time?" Paul Allen looked confident. If he still loses this time, then the Blazers' coach and manager should get out. !
"Ten million dollars, I bet the Storm to win." Kirilenko wrote a check and placed it in front of Paul Allen.
How could Paul Allen let Kirilenko look down on him? He immediately signed a check for ten million dollars and handed it to Kirilenko because he firmly believed that he would win. There is no reason not to accept the money that others bring to your doorstep.
Feng Yu also signed a check for US$10 million and handed it to Paul Allen: "Do you dare to accept this? It's very hurtful to lose US$20 million all at once."
Paul Allen looked angry. Twenty million dollars was indeed not a small sum for him. Although he has a rich net worth, he usually only has more than 10 million in cash in his personal account. If he loses, he will have to sell stocks. But how could he endure Feng Yu's ridicule? Would he, Paul Allen, worry about a mere $20 million
"Okay, I'll take it. If someone is willing to give me money, of course I'm very happy."
The two parties exchanged checks. Whoever wins can just go to the bank and deposit the money into his account. If he loses, the other party's check will naturally be invalidated. With their net worth, they wouldn't rely on each other for $10 million.
Feng Yu walked back to the Wind and Rain team: "I must win this series. Everyone works hard. It doesn't matter whether we win or lose in the second round. If we win this round, everyone's playoff bonuses will be doubled. I will pay for it myself!"
Carter and Pierce looked at each other, and both of them secretly determined that in this series, they must play a game that satisfies the boss. The boss gave them so many advertising contracts, which did not stop them from making money. Let’s put aside the battle for the future boss of the team for now.
Rodman, Lewis, Billups, Mobley, Alston, Da Zhi and others also secretly decided that since they have lost the chance to compete for the championship this year, they might as well make more money. Besides, if you satisfy your boss, you will never lose money to them when you renew the contract.
At the beginning, Karl deployed a small ball tactic, with Rodman playing center, and his jump ball actually beat the Blazers' orthodox center. Before the Blazers could react, Billups received the ball and threw it forward. Carter received the ball and took three steps to dunk!
This is the playoffs, and yet they still dare to play like this. The Blazers coach couldn't help but glance at George Karl. This old guy is really awesome. He deserves to be the best coach last year.
During the steal, Pierce actually reached out and stole the careless Pippen. Then he took two steps with the ball, threw it forward, and Carter dunked in an alley-oop.
This is the playoffs, and they are playing fast? And risking a steal, aren't you afraid of being called for a foul? The Blazers coach suddenly had a very bad feeling.
At the end of the first quarter, the Blazers maintained their usual offensive power. In the playoffs, they scored 25 points in a single quarter, which is not outstanding, but it is still qualified, if you don't look at the dazzling 37 points of the Storm Team.
In the first quarter, the opponent was actually ahead by twelve points, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer from Dazhi. And that Lewis also made two three-pointers. How come such a big man always shoots from the outside if he doesn't go inside? Who taught this
Team Storm, they are all weird!
Feng Yu and Kirilenko chatted with smiles on their faces, and Kirilenko sighed: "Feng, your team is still successful, you don't have to pay more taxes, and you even win a championship."
"Don't worry, haven't you hoarded three draft picks this year? If you draw lots, you can pick a good one, right? The insiders are better this year. I think it is better for you to choose two insiders."
"Actually, I quite like an insider, that big fat guy from the Lakers. Damn it, Buss didn't sell it. I've told him, except for Kidd, he can pick whatever he wants, and he can even compensate him a sum of money privately, and he actually still gives it to him. No!" Kirilenko said angrily.
Why don’t I sell it even if I have O’Neal! Feng Yu rolled his eyes at Kirilenko: "Then you choose two good insiders to train. O'Neal is very good, but didn't he lose last year?"
"That's right. Jordan, who was touted as the God of Basketball, was also finished at the beginning. Later, they formed an All-Star lineup and won the championship... Good shot!" Kirilenko was chatting with Feng Yu. , while still looking at the ball.
Feng Yu didn't know if Jordan was blown out of it. Many people said that Jordan was a scoring machine. Feng Yu agreed very much, but Jordan had a big shortcoming. It was not that he couldn't do three-pointers, but that he... had poor heat dissipation. Stick out your tongue!
At halftime, the Trail Blazers not only failed to narrow the point difference, but actually expanded it to 18 points. It can be seen that the Wind and Rain team played very aggressively today.
At the end of the first game, the Storm team won by 21 points. Paul Allen left without saying a word and turned around to scold the team's coach. He even said he could beat the Storm Team by 20 points, but TM actually lost by more than 20 points!
In the second game, the Wind and Rain team won again, still from the outside. Carter and Pierce once again both had 30 points, Billups and Mobley had 15 points, Lewis and Da Zhi also scored more than 10 points, and six people reached double figures. , which is rare in the playoffs.
Finally returned to the home court of the Trail Blazers, Paul Allen showed up again. He thought he could avenge his disgrace this time, but it turned out that Paul Allen wanted to go on the field and play in person. The Trail Blazers were swept once again!
The reason for the loss was the same as before, that is, the Fengyu team was fully blooming on the outside, everyone could score, and the Blazers couldn't guard it no matter what.
He couldn't believe that the Trail Blazers, who spent so much money to build, fell in the first round again!
Feng Yu and Kirilenko walked up to Paul Allen: "Hey, Paul, we won again."
