Extraordinary Genius Chapter 1177 - Ah… we won again

Chapter 1177 – Ah… we won again

“Paul, do you want to have a bet again? I bet this match… no… I bet Wind and Rain Team will win this series again.” Kirilenko, who is sitting beside Feng Yu, said.

This year, Brooklyn Nets had performed badly again and got the second last place in the league. But Kirilenko is not disappointed. The Nets might not be good enough to enter the playoffs, but it should not get the second last place.

Kirilenko had heard that there are good rookies this year, and he wants to get another first overall pick. Last year’s rookies are not good, and if he can get two good players to support Kidd, it should not be a problem for the Nets to enter the playoffs.

In Feng Yu’s previous life, Kidd was affected by his knee injury, but it did not happen in this life, and he is still in his best form. The Nets had stopped him from playing in many games using excuses like injuries and rest.

If the Nets can get one or two top rookies this year, they will definitely soar!

Kirilenko loves basketball, and he had come to support Feng Yu’s team instead of watching his own team.

“You are betting on Wind and Rain Team to win? Sure. How about a bigger bet?” Paul Allen is confident his team will not lose again. If his team still loses again, he will fire his coach and team manager!

“10 million USD on Wind and Rain Team to win!” Kirilenko took out a check and signed it.

Paul Allen will not allow Kirilenko to look down on him. He immediately signed a 10 million USD check and gave it to Kirilenko because he is sure his team will win. Since someone is giving him money, why not?

Feng Yu also signed a 10 million USD check and gave it to Paul Allen. “Do you dare to accept my bet? Losing 20 million USD might be too much for you.”

Paul Allen is furious. 20 million USD is not a small amount for him. Although he has a high net worth, his personal account has only slightly more than 10 million USD in cash. If he loses this bet, he has to sell his shares. But how can he be humiliated by Feng Yu? How can I, Paul Allen, be troubled over 20 million USD?

“Alright. I will accept your bet. I am happy that you all are giving me money.”

They exchanged checks, and the winner will bank it in, and the loser will destroy the checks he is holding. At their level, they will not go back on their words.

Feng Yu walks over to his team. “I must win this round. Do your best, and it doesn’t matter if you all lose in the next round. If you all win this round, I will double the playoffs bonus with my own money!”

Carter and Pierce exchanged looks and were determined to win this round to make Boss happy. Boss had given them many advertising sponsorships and helped them make money. They will compete to be the best player on the team and do their best in this match.

Rodman, Lewis, Billups, Mobley, Alston, and Da Zhi set their minds to win this round. Since they had lost the chance to win the championships this year, they might as well earn more money. Furthermore, if they can make Boss happy, they will get better contracts when they renew it.

The match started. Rodman was playing Center Forward and won the jump ball. Before the Blazers’ players can react, Billups got the ball and made a long pa.s.s to Carter, who made a tomahawk dunk!

This is the playoffs, and Wind and Rain Team still dare to play like this? The Blazers’ coach glanced at George Karl. This old man is indeed formidable. No wonder he can get the Coach of the year award last year.

Steal. Pierce risked committing a foul when he stole the ball from the careless Pippen and made a high pa.s.s. Carter caught the ball and performed an alley-oop.

This is the playoffs. Why are they playing a fast game? Also, why are the players not afraid of committing fouls with that steal earlier. The Blazers’ coach suddenly has a bad omen.

The first quarter ended, and the Blazers maintained their usual pace. Getting 25 points in the first quarter for a playoff game might not be outstanding. Still, it is considered good results if you don’t take the Wind and Rain Team’s 37 points into consideration.

The opponent had gotten 12 points lead in the first quarter. Da Zhi had scored a buzzer-beater three-pointer, and Lewis scored two three-pointers. Why is that big size player not scoring from the inside court? Why does he keep running around outside? Who thought him to play like this?

Why is the Wind and Rain Team so weird?!

Feng Yu and Kirilenko chatted and laughed. Kirilenko said. “Feng, your team is very successful. You don’t even need to pay additional tax and still won a championship.”

“Don’t be anxious. You had acc.u.mulated three overall picks this year, and you will definitely get at least a good player. The inside players this year are quite outstanding. I think you should pick two inside players.”

“Actually, I like Shaq from the Lakers, but that d.a.m.n Buss refused to let him go. I had told him that other than Kidd, he can pick any players he wants, and I can even give him a sum of money privately. But he still rejected me!” Kirilenko grumbled.

I will also not trade if Shaq is on my team! Feng Yu rolled his eyes at Kirilenko. “Then you should groom two inside players yourself. Shaq might be good, but the Lakers still lost last year.”

“That’s right. Even the ‘greatest basketball player of all time’ Jordan, did not do well at the start of his career. It is until the Bulls gathered all the star players before they got the championship… Nice!” Kirilenko was watching the game as he chatted with Feng Yu.

Many people say Jordan is a scoring machine, and Feng Yu agrees with them. But Jordan has a major weakness. His three-pointer is not good, and he… cannot dissipate heat well. His tongue is outside most of the time!

The Blazers did not catch up with Wind and Rain at halftime, and the gap widens to 18 points. Seems like the Wind and Rain Team is very aggressive today.

The first match ended, and Wind and Rain Team won by 21 points. Paul Allen left without saying anything. He will be giving his coach a lashing when they are back. The coach had claimed they can win by 20 points. But they ended up losing by more than 20 points!

The Wind and Rain Team won the second match through outside play. Carter and Pierce scored 30 points each, and Billups, Mobley, Lewis, and even Da Zhi, had scored more than 10 points each. This is rare in playoff games.

Finally, the game is played at the Blazers’ home ground. Paul Allen appeared again, as he thought he can get his revenge. In the end, the Blazers lost again!

The Blazers had lost because of the same strategies used in the previous games. All Wind and Rain Team’s players can score from outside, and it’s hard for the Blazers to stop them.

Paul Allen doesn’t believe that after spending so much money to build his team, they lost in the first round again!

Feng Yu and Kirilenko walks over to Paul Allen. “Ah… Paul, we won again.”
