Chapter 1231 – The Arrogant Brother Ki


Kirilenko had called to remind Feng Yu about the NBA Finals and asked him to watch his team by the sidelines.


When Feng Yu’s team entered the Finals, Kirilenko had gone to support him. Now, it’s the Nets’ turn, and how can Feng Yu not go and support Kirilenko’s team?


The Nets’ players are much better than in their previous life. In Feng Yu’s previous life, the Nets had relied on new players to enter the finals, and none of the players got more than 15 points. But in this life, the Nets have stronger players, and Jason Kidd is playing much better. Feng Yu felt the Nets stands a chance to be the Champions.


This year, the Nets had gotten better results, and their first match is at its home ground. Feng Yu flew to New York and asked his driver to send him to New Jersey, which is only two hours drive away.


“Oh, many Lakers supporters had come to support them.” Feng Yu looked at the stands and saw a group of people in yellow and purple jerseys among the sea of white fans.


Kirilenko is furious. “What are the ticket sellers doing? Why did they sell so many tickets to people from LA?! Feng, I am not talking about you as I had invited you.”


Feng Yu rolled his eyes. “Don’t forget I have shares in the Lakers’ home ground arena. If you want, I can arrange for your team’s fans to be seated together, making them more outstanding in the stands.”


“Hahaha… Alright! It would be best if I can buy out all the tickets, and I can choose who can watch the match!” Kirilenko laughed.


“That is impossible. Don’t forget that some fans had bought tickets in advance and not many tickets are left. I will call Ralph to make the arrangements.”


The average price of tickets in New York is around 80 USD, and before Carter came to New Jersey, its average ticket price is less than 20 USD. But after Carter joined, the ticket prices doubled, but they are only less than a 2-hour drive from New York. This made Kirilenko mad.


Although the LA ticket prices are not as high as New York, the Lakers and the Wind and Rain Team’s average ticket prices are over 60 USD. Despite its price, the tickets are selling better than New Jersey.


The Nets had changed its starting lineups. Bateer is one of the starting lineups, and his job is to guard Shaq with Gasol. Gasol has long arms and nimble footwork and is the best person to a.s.sist Bateer.


The Lakers’ Center is stronger, while the Nets are stronger in the Power Forward position. Their Small Forward and Shooting Guard are around the same standards, but Jason Kidd is the strongest Shooting Guard in the league.


As for the subst.i.tutes, there is not a lot of difference between both teams. The Nets’ players are younger and are more energetic, while the Lakers have more experienced players.


Kirilenko is p.i.s.sed with those commentators and media. Everyone felt the Lakers can defend their t.i.tle, and no one supported the Nets.


What do these disgusting Americans know? Although I had not spent a lot on my team, I had put in lots of effort. Since you all look down on the Nets, I will make them the Champions this year!


“Feng, do you think we can win the championship this year?” Kirilenko lost his confidence suddenly.


The match started, and Shaq slammed the ball in.


“It’s hard to win if the team depends on one player to score. Even if Shaq gets 50 points, the Nets can still win if the rest of his teammates scored lesser points. Don’t forget Shaq is fat and heavy. His stamina will not last the whole match. He can be at his best for the first 30 minutes, but he will become slower after 40 minutes.”


As they chatted, Kidd scored with a three-pointer. Jason Kidd’s shooting had improved. He had enough of purposely playing badly to get the draft picks lottery. In the past two seasons, he could not even get into the all-star team. He wants to show the fans and those commentators that he can also score despite being the best point guard.


Both teams battled it out on the courts. All five Lakers’ players had scored, but the Nets’ Bateer had not gotten a single point. He had tried once but was blocked by Shaq.


Bateer’s job is to foul. Even the Nets scoring with four players, but their score is around the same as the Lakers. He felt tired after eight minutes into the match, but he believes America’s No. 1 Center, Shaq, is also tired.


Feng Yu looks around, and Kirilenko asked curiously. “Who are you looking for?”


“Paul Allen is not here? He did not bet with you this time?” That old fellow is scared?


“He had a bet with me, but he is scare of embarra.s.sing himself by coming here. He should be watching the live telecast now. When the camera points to us later, let’s wave to him. Hahaha…” Kirilenko laughed arrogantly.


“Brother Ki, the camera is facing you.”


Kirilenko waved to the camera and said in perfect English. “Paul, you will lose.”


Paul Allen, who is watching the live telecast in front of the TV, is mad. This Russian is too arrogant. You just wait! Even if I have to pay 100 million USD of the luxury tax, I will also destroy you all!


Paul Allen still remembered what Kirilenko said when he bet with him. We will win the NBA. The year before last year, Feng had won the championships. This year is my turn, and you can never win it!


Paul Allen loves sports. He had bought teams in the four major leagues in the US. His football and baseball teams are quite successful, and even his ice-hockey team had made tremendous improvement this year. But his basketball team is making him mad.


Paul Allen’s basketball team can be considered doing quite well. When he took over the team, it was a bottom-level team, but he managed to enter the play-offs and even reached the Western Conference’s finals. However, compared to Feng Yu, this achievement is nothing.


That Feng Yu had used two seasons to turn a bottom-level team into the overall champions. He still shamelessly gave the Nets his team’s top player, Carter! What’s worse is the officials still allowed this to happen!


In the end, the Nets became the strongest team in the Eastern Conference and had not lost a single match in the league.


Paul Allen doesn’t believe the Nets can get past the Lakers, as the Lakers are much stronger than last year. Shaq is at his peak, and Kobe is starting to be playing like Jordan. They can surely destroy the Nets!


Their bet this time is hula dance. Even if the dance is not performed in front of the media, dancing in front of Kirilenko will be his greatest insult!


The first match ended, and the Nets won by five points. During the after-match press conference, Kirilenko proudly announced that he is planning the celebration party after the Nets got the Championship now!


Paul Allen is furious. Kirilenko is too arrogant!
