Before the game, Feng Yu went to the hotel where the Wind and Rain team was staying and spoke to everyone.
Under normal circumstances, the boss should motivate his players to work hard and try their best to win. But Feng Yu's speech was different.
"Everyone, I know you all want to win the championship, but you must know that the Nets are not easy to deal with. Don't be burdened. Just do whatever you want. Winning or losing is not important. "
Everyone was dumbfounded. What does the boss mean? Winning or losing is not important? Does he mean to admit defeat?
Pierce was the most motivated player among them. When the boss let Carter leave, he let him stay. This was to let him be the core player on the perimeter. He wanted to prove that he was better than Carter.
Martin was also upset. He replaced Carter, and the Nets won the championship immediately. They were both the top scorers, but the difference was too big!
Karl added, "What the boss means is that winning or losing the first away game is not important. We just need to win the next game. When we return to LA and win the next two games, we will have the upper hand."
Everyone came to a sudden realization. So that was what the boss meant.
But everyone still expressed that they would try to win!
"Everyone, take care to protect yourselves and don't get hurt. Look at this year's playoffs. The Lakers' Kobe fell on the court. "
Kobe "accidentally" sprained his ankle under the defense of the Spurs' Bowen, and the Spurs won the series. But Bowen's trick was useless against Pierce. Pierce rarely jumped so high. Even if he stepped on his ankle, he would not sprain it.
…
The game started, and the players started to enter the court. Kirilenko walked to Feng Yu. "I have a surprise for you at halftime."
Feng Yu was puzzled. Today is not my birthday, and this is the Nets' home court. What surprise are you going to give me?
But Kirilenko went back to his team after he finished speaking, and Feng Yu did not have time to ask.
Gasol beat Yao Ming during the jump ball, and the Nets started to attack.
Kidd received the ball and threw it to the front court. Carter caught it and dunked it. The Polar Bear arena, which was also the Brooklyn Nets' arena, was lit up.
Mobley was depressed. He had caught up with Carter, but he could not jump on him.
The Wind and Rain team also started to run after the ball was served. Many fans were puzzled. When Yao Ming was on the court, they never used run-and-gun tactics.
Both teams went back and forth, and neither team called for a timeout before the officials stopped the first quarter.
The score was very high, and it seemed that Karl's strategy today was to compete with the Nets.
Many experts and commentators were saying that Karl had lost his mind. Feng Yu heard the Wind and Rain Team did not renew Karl's contract. Maybe they felt Karl is not suitable to coach the Wind and Rain Team.
They did not know that Feng Yu did not renew the contract because he did not think about it.
The Nets was the Nets. The Nets, and Nets. The Nets. The Nets Nets Team, and the Nets, and Nets Nets. The Nets, and the Nets.
At the start of the second quarter, the two teams were still competing on offense. What puzzled everyone was that Pierce was obviously playing very well today. Why was he replaced by Karl after scoring three consecutive goals?
Pierce was also puzzled. But Karl said that Pierce was tired and needed to rest. Otherwise, he might suffer from fatigue. What else could Pierce say? His coach was trying to protect him.
At halftime, the Nets were leading by eight points, 70-62. The experts did not expect the Nets to have such a high score in the first half.
Both teams did not defend. This was the Finals!
Only the owners and managers of the two teams knew about this. The others did not know why.
After halftime, the players went to the resting room. Kirilenko had asked the New York fans not to cause trouble for the Wind and Rain team. They could win fair and square.
This time, the Wind and Rain team did not encounter any trouble.
The players went to rest, but Feng Yu was still sitting in his seat. He was waiting for Kirilenko's surprise.
The lights dimmed, and a beam of light shone on the center of the court. Feng Yu's eyes narrowed.
Elena? Why is she here?!
The music started, and the sweet-sounding song spread throughout the arena. All the spectators suddenly fell silent.
Feng Yu looked at Kirilenko. But the lights were too dark, and he could not see anything. This is the surprise Kirilenko mentioned? The halftime performance?
Shouldn't Elena be in Europe? Why is she in the US?
But no matter what, Feng Yu was still happy to see Elena. Feng Yu enjoyed hearing Elena's voice again.
The crowd was shocked. They had only seen halftime performances at the All-Star Games and had never seen it in the Finals. It's not like the Nets will win for sure, and this is only the first match.
But when the crowd listened to the song, they realized it was a Russian song. Seems like this Russian tycoon had hired her.
Some people who pay attention to music noticed that this woman is the most popular female singer in Russia, and she used to be Russia's most famous ballet dancer. Look at her figure, it's so good!
The crowd also realized that Elena's voice was very beautiful. The noisy arena became quiet.
Elena sang two songs, and in the middle of the second song, there was a dance.
This was a dance that was different from ballet. It complemented Elena's figure and made the audience excited.
Many of the audience even said that they must buy a copy of Elena's album, watch her music videos, and go to her concerts when they go back.
Most of the fans in New York are not poor, and they are willing to spend money on entertainment.
Elena's performance will be broadcasted live in the US. Everyone in the US will be able to watch her performance and hear her voice.
This will increase Elena's popularity in the US. As for whether the US people like Elena's performance and songs, they can tell from the fans' cheers.
Feng Yu and the rest of the Wind and Rain Team's staff who did not go to the resting room were also clapping. They realized Feng Yu does not seem to care about the outcome of this match.
Feng Yu really likes this surprise that Kirilenko mentioned. After Elena left the stage, Feng Yu also left the arena.
In the resting room that Kirilenko prepared for Elena, Feng Yu saw Elena waiting for him. When Elena was singing, she was looking for Feng Yu.
"Darling, was my singing good?" Elena ran into Feng Yu's arms.
Feng Yu stroked Elena's hair. "Yes. No one will think it is bad. I had told you that singing is as interesting as dancing, right? "
"Yes. I still have a few ballet performances at the end of this year, and I will retire from the ballet stage next year."
"You have a bigger stage. You will become an international superstar!" Feng Yu said confidently.
