"Are you all soft-footed? How dare you say you want to win the championship this year? You can't even beat a lousy team like Wind and Rain. How are you going to win the championship?! "Paul Allen stood up and shouted at his players! It has only been five minutes, and they called for a second timeout.
The Blazers' coach was also embarrassed. Originally, he wanted to teach George Karl a lesson. Now, it seemed that Karl had proved to him why he was a famous coach. Even if his cards were not very good, he could make up for it with skill.
This scene was shown on the big screen in the stadium. Many Los Angeles fans in the stadium were cheering. The powerful Blazers were actually suppressed by Wind and Rain. They did not expect this.
Many fans had come to watch the Wind and Rain Team's fast attacks. They want to see Carter's dunks, Pierce's attacking techniques, Alston's dribbling, and Rodman's arrogant hairstyle. At the same time, they can also watch Feng Yu and Paul Allen bickering. That's even better.
As for the outcome, most fans thought that Wind and Rain would definitely lose.
But now, it seems that this is not necessarily the case. Although the game has not started for long, Wind and Rain is now leading by nine points. Those who do not know will think that Wind and Rain is a strong team in the playoffs.
After the timeout, both teams brought in their substitutes. However, Wind and Rain still has Pierce on the court. He is paired with three rookies and one veteran. Pierce's opponent is the All-Star Pippen.
However, Pippen is obviously not in form. Or rather, he has not been in form this year. He used to be a defensive expert, but today, he was defeated by Pierce three times in a row, and all of them were successful.
Feng Yu is happy. Among the rookies in the class of 98, Pierce is one of the most comprehensive offensive players. He is also a very good player. The other is Jamison. For example, Noah Turner. Although he is also good, he does not have any unbeatable skills.
The other players, including Carter, are not as good as Pierce. For example, Carter does not know how to turn his back, and his shooting is not as accurate as Pierce.
Seeing Pierce suppress Pippen on the court, the audience became even more excited. No wonder he is one of this year's rookies. The team has picked up a treasure. They even began to look forward to the playoffs next year. Maybe in three to five years, they will be able to compete for the championship. Maybe they will win earlier than the Lakers. If that fat Lakers player joins Wind and Rain, then Los Angeles will definitely win the championship next year!
Feng Yu does not care about the audience's fantasies. He is only here to enjoy the basketball game. He wants to enjoy the victory. He wants to watch Paul Allen's face.
At half-time, Wind and Rain are leading by 13 points. It does not seem to be a big difference. It does not seem like a big difference. It seems like a small difference, but it.. it. Half. It. Wind and rain. Half is is. It.
Look at the old guys on the Blazers. They are all panting heavily. The Wind and Rain players are tired, but they are not that tired. In the previous away game, Karl gave Carter, Pierce, and the other main players two days off. Yesterday, they only trained for a while, and they are still very fit.
Karl was young, had good stamina, recovered quickly, and played according to their rhythm. If he still couldn't win, then he couldn't be considered a famous general.
"Rodman, I think you should be able to score more than 20 points in this game. You might even break your scoring record, as long as you are willing to attack quickly. Show those bosses and coaches who look down on you. They say that you can't score because they can't provide you with a suitable system, "Karl said to Rodman, whose head was full of rainbows, in the locker room.
Rodman is also a player who has scored more than 30 points in a single game. Although he scored most of his points under the basket, it proves that he is not completely incapable of scoring.
Although Rodman did not earn much on the court, off the court, he was the darling of the entertainment industry. Even during the Bulls' era, Jordan was the basketball star who earned the most money, and Rodman was able to beat out so many All-Stars to become the second highest earner. It was enough to prove how popular he was.
Karl's strategy is to tell Rodman, "I can help you increase your value on the court and your commercial value. As long as you play honestly, the team will not care about what happens outside the court."
Rodman's goal is to be in the limelight, earn more money, and enjoy life. Since Karl is willing to help him, why would he reject?
At the start of the second half, the Blazers put in more effort to defend. They kept Carter and Pierce at bay. They did not give them any chances to make cuts or receive the ball. However, no one expected Rodman to explode!
An empty pass dunk, an empty cut layup, a rebound in the frontcourt, a second attack off the board, and even made two mid-range shots. At this moment, many people thought that they were facing Barkley, that damn fatty, as if Rodman was an all-rounder.
In the last five minutes of the game, the Blazers substituted out all their main players because they are trailing by 20 points! They had been trailing for two minutes since the start of the game.
After the game, Feng Yu stopped Paul Allen, who was about to leave.
"Hi, Paul. Today's game was good, right? Why didn't you beg me? If you had begged me, I would have let my team win by only five points. "
Paul Allen's face was full of anger. F * ck, my team was actually massacred by a lousy team!
"Eh, why are you not saying anything? Hey, that All-Star Pippen that you guys snatched played well today. 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. He looks like an all-rounder. Let me see the stats of our opponent, the rookie Pierce. 27 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Oh, my rookie's annual salary is over 2 million. How much is your All-Star's annual salary? "
Although this is a shortened season, Pippen's annual salary is more than 11 million USD. How can he lose to a rookie with less than 3 million annual salary?!
"Hmph! Feng, your team can't even enter the playoffs!"
"Yes, I'm worried about this too. Do you think there's something going on in the NBA? Our team is so strong, but we can't make it to the playoffs. Hey, how much money did you spend to get your competitors to throw the game? Tell me. If it's cheap, I will buy a set meal. I want to win the rest of the games. "
Who paid others to throw the game?! Where did this set meal come from?!
Paul Allen looked at Feng Yu angrily. I had relied on the strength of my team! It's the strength of my team!
But he could not say it out loud. His team had just been beaten by Feng Yu's team. They did not win. They had been beaten up!
The difference of 20 points shows the two teams are not on the same level. It's the difference between a strong team and a weak team.
"Hmph! Let's meet in the playoffs."
"We can do it next year. But I'm not sure if your team can enter the playoffs next year."
"Hmph! Even if your team enters the playoffs, they will still be defeated."
"Ok. Just don't let us meet the Blazers. We are a weak team, and we can only win against them!" Feng Yu said with a smile.
