Paul Allen looked at Feng Yu and Feng Yu with grief and indignation. It wasn't that he felt bad for losing the money. Although 20 million was a lot, what he felt even more aggrieved was the yawning expressions on Feng Yu and Kirilenko's faces.
"Hmph, even if you are lucky enough to win this time. And you, your Nets are terrible. You won't be able to win a game next year!" Paul Allen turned around to vent his anger on Kirilenko. This year's Blazers Just swept the Nets in the regular season.
"Let's take a bet? Let's see who sweeps who next year?" Kirilenko was angry. Microsoft's stock price plummeted. Now that my brother's net worth exceeds yours, why are you so awesome
"Okay, let's bet again. This time we won't bet money. The loser will publicly say that he is inferior to the other party before the live TV broadcast. Do you dare?" Money does not stimulate Paul Allen that much. What you want is face!
"It's a bet, and the loser has to bow!" Kirilenko added.
In front of Feng Yu and the others, Paul Allen tore up the check given to him by Feng Yu and Kirilenko, snorted and left. He had already planned to fire the team manager and head coach today!
After Paul Allen left, Kirilenko's momentum disappeared instantly, and he asked Feng Yu with a grimace: "Do you think that by picking two good players this year, we can really sweep the Trail Blazers?"
"It's only two games. There are a lot of variables, but it's not impossible. On this year's draft list, isn't there the Spanish insider, and a flexible black fat man? If you win these two, even O'Neal will I can handle it.”
"But we don't have a good shooting guard? Not even a small forward." After saying that, Kirilenko stared at Carter who was being interviewed on the court. The meaning of that Qiyi look was very clear.
Tsk~~
Feng Yu was a little helpless. Without Carter, the team's outside power would be greatly reduced. But anyway, if Carter is here, he won't be able to pass the Lakers level, so he might as well fulfill his brother's wish.
"You want Carter?"
"Pierce, too."
Feng Yu rolled his eyes at Kirilenko, but you know how to pick, the strength of these two at this time is actually not much different. Moreover, Pierce is better at maintaining his condition. If he is the cornerstone of the team, Pierce is more suitable. He is a superman who has been stabbed multiple times and can still jump around and win the MVP.
Although it seems to be smooth on the floor, this style of play is actually less likely to cause injuries.
"Okay, after this year's draft, let's make a trade. If you can pick two big men, give me Martin."
Kirilenko hugged Feng Yu hard: "Feng, my brother, you are so interesting. Kidd said that with Carter and a better inside line, he is confident of succeeding in breaking through in the Eastern Conference!"
It was Kidd's idea to co-write it. I thought Kirilenko was attracted by Carter's beautiful game.
"It would be even better if you can win a championship next year. From now on, we brothers will take turns to win the NBA championship. Others can just be spectators." Feng Yu was also arrogant for a rare moment.
In fact, if Feng Yu had not persuaded him, the Nets would have entered the playoffs this year. Kirilenko's original plan was to spend a lot of money to build an all-star team and then compete for the championship.
In his opinion, the basketball game is just a game that lists star players. Is he short of money? He just wants to let those Americans know that your American professional basketball league is controlled by me, a Russian.
…
The playoffs ended. In the end, the Lakers won the championship as they wished, and the big fat man was awarded the MVP. He made bold promises to bring a dynasty to this city.
It's this year's draft day again. Unfortunately, although the Nets performed poorly, they were still not as thorough as the Wizards, so they only received the second pick.
However, the Wizards selected parallel import No. 1 pick Kwame Brown under the hand of Joe, while the Nets selected Pau Gasol at Feng Yu's suggestion. Of course, this is not an upset. Gasol is definitely among the top four picks in the Millennium Olympics, but many people have seen his strength.
Kirilenko was very satisfied when he heard this name. Is this also called Paul? Paul plays for me on my team? It would be interesting if Paul Allen saw it.
This name alone is worth the second pick!
With the 18th pick, the Nets selected Zach Randolph, a power forward with very comprehensive offensive skills, but very defensive problems, but he can be used to lead the bench.
With the 27th pick, Tony Parker was selected, another non-American player. He was selected as a substitute for Kidd. He had sharp breakthroughs, fast speed, good mid-range shooting, and acceptable organization. He should be qualified to be a substitute.
Coupled with the fact that Andre's contract in the Russian league ended this year and he will join the NBA, their lineup is definitely good. What's more, they originally had some capable players in their lineup, but they just failed last season.
The Wind and Rain team only had one second-round pick, the first in the second round, and they selected a player named Gilbert Arenas. After Carter leaves, Mobley will be promoted to the starting lineup. Arenas, a combo guard, can lead the second lineup. The shooting is good, the breakthrough is sharp, and the defense is acceptable. Coach Karl likes him better.
The most important thing is that this is the player that the boss likes. For a second-round pick, let's pick whoever the boss says. Originally, according to George Karl's wishes, an orthodox center should be chosen, but now it is hard to find a good center.
After this player was elected, the old coach Nelson of Golden State was very irritated. Every player he was interested in was cut off by others! Especially Arenas, who is just one pick away.
…
"Boss, what are you talking about, exchanging Carter for Martin? How is this possible? Although we lack insiders, the two Martins are not as good as Carter. What's more, Carter's jersey sales are the highest in the league this year." Coach Karl was shocked. Does the boss look down on Carter
But that shouldn’t be the case. Carter also endorses several products owned by his boss, including cars, mobile phones, DVDs and other products.
"Karl, originally I shouldn't have interfered with the team's operations. You should have discussed it with Elgin. But you also saw the second round of the game. Carter and Pierce were competing for the ball. One of them must go. Pierce shoots better, his penetration is as good as Carter's, and his style of play is less prone to injuries."
"One more thing, I hope that next year's NBA championship will be the Nets."
Karl remained silent. The boss's intention was obvious and he had already decided. Everyone who watches the NBA knows how good the relationship between the boss and the Russian boss of the Nets is. The guy who helped the boss and ridiculed Paul Allen was also the richest man in Eastern Europe!
What's more, the boss is very interested in him. The team failed to defend the title this year and even failed in the second round. The boss did not say that he was not doing a good job and even gave all the players extra bonuses.
He plans to renew his contract with the team for five years after this contract ends. Whatever the boss says is what he says. If Martin comes, Billups may also be able to pass a lot of good balls.
"Okay, boss, I understand."
After the deal between Martin and Carter was concluded, it shocked the NBA. Everyone said that the Storm made a bad deal. Carter, who received the news in advance, was not sad. When he arrived at the Nets, he could control more of the ball. What's more, the owner of the Nets was also very generous.
It's just a pity that he can no longer be the big brother. The Nets are Kidd's team! In fact, in the Storm team, he and Pierce have become the bosses for the time being, because of the presence of Olajuwon, a Hall of Fame player.
Kirilenko stood in front of the TV and said with high spirits: "Our goal next year is to win the championship!"
A team that was second to last in the league last year is boasting of a championship this year, and Paul Allen was the first to publicly ridicule it.
However, Kirilenko just said lightly and pushed Paul Allen back: "I don't talk to those team owners who paid a lot of luxury tax but couldn't even get past the first round."
Feng Yu also responded: "If you pay the luxury tax like the Lakers, you should win the championship like the Lakers! Instead of becoming the notorious prison team in the entire league! Is this how your team culture is? Do you rely on marijuana and fights to keep winning? There is more news outside the stadium than inside it!"
Paul Allen was almost furious. He had already removed the power of the team manager and head coach. If he did so again, he would only be able to remove the players.
What these two people said was so irritating!
Okay, didn't you say that the Nets won the championship? This season, I want the Nets to be swept by the Trail Blazers. I want you to stand in front of the TV, bow to me, and say you are not as good as me!
