Extraordinary Genius
chapter-1053

“Are you all weaklings? You all still dare to claim that you all can win the Championships this year? You all cannot even beat a lousy team like Wind and Rain?! How are you all going to win the championship?!” Paul Allen stood up and shouted at his players! This is their second time-out within five minutes.

The Blazers’ coach is red with embarrassment. He had wanted to show George Karl, who is a better coach. But now, Karl had shown he is the better one and had used tactics to overcome Wind and Rain’s weaknesses of having in-experience players.

Paul Allen’s scolding of his players was shown on the arena’s big screen. Many LA basketball fans are cheering. Even the mighty Blazers are being suppressed by Wind and Rain.

Many basketball fans are there to watch Wind and Rain Team’s up-tempo offense, Carter’s dunks, Pierce’s splendid skills, Alston’s extreme dribbling skills, Rodman’s crazy hairstyles, and also to see Feng Yu argue with Paul Allen.

However, most of the basketball fans did not think the Wind and Rain team will win.

But now, no one is sure who will win this match. Although the match had just started, the Wind and Rain team is leading by 9 points.

The time-out ended, and both teams substituted their reserve players into the match. But Wind and Rain team’s Pierce is still on the court, and he will be partnering three rookies and one senior player. The Blazers had substituted all the players except for Pippen.

But Pippen is not in his best form this year. In the past, he is an expert in defense, but today, he failed to block three of Pierce’s shots.

Feng Yu is thrilled. Among the rookies in 1998, Pierce is one of the best offensive players. Another rookie, Antawn Jamison, is also another good player, despite the fact that he is not showing any of his talents yet.

Other players, including Carter, are not as good as Pierce. For example, Carter does not know to step back jump shots, and his three-pointers are not as accurate as Pierce.

The spectators got excited when they saw Pierce winning Pippen in all aspects. This is the top rookie this year, and Wind and Rain team had gotten a treasure. The fans can see this team entering the playoffs next year, and they will be the champions within 3 to 5 years. Wind and Rain team might even win the championships before Lakers. Yes. If Shaq joins Wind and Rain team, then LA will surely win the championships next year!

Feng Yu does not care what the fans are thinking. He is only here to watch the match and enjoy the feeling of winning against Paul Allen.

During half time, the Wind and Rain team is leading by 13 points. The difference is not big, but Karl told Feng Yu that they had won!

Look, the Blazers’ players are panting like dogs. Although Wind and Rain’s players are also tired, they are not as tired as the Blazer’s players. Karl had let Carter, Pierce, and other main players rest on the match before. From their light training yesterday, the main players showed they have enough stamina.

Young, good stamina, fast recovery, and the match is following’s Wind and Rain’s pace. If Wind and Rain still cannot win against the Blazers, then Coach Karl can give up his status as one of the best coaches in the NBA.

“Rodman, I think you can get more then 20 points in the match, and you might even break your personal points record if you are willing to go on the offense. Show those managers and coaches, who belittled you and said you cannot score your abilities. They are the ones who don’t appreciate your talents.” Karl said to the rainbow-colored hair Rodman in the dressing room.

Rodman had once gotten more than 30 points in a game. Although most of his points are scored below the basket, that shows that he can score.

Rodman might not make a lot of money on the courts, but outside of the courts, he is a celebrity. When he was with the Bulls, he is the second player behind Jordan in terms of earnings.

Karl is telling Rodman that he can increase his commercial value as a player as long as he plays well, and the team does not care what he does outside in his free time.

Rodman’s goal as a player is to be in the limelight and make money to enjoy life. Since Coach Karl is giving him this opportunity, he will not miss it.

The second half started. The Blazers increased their defense and used man-to-man markings on Carter and Pierce. They do not want to let them touch the ball, but Rodman is on fire!

Rodman got defensive and offensive rebounds and scored with dunks, layups, etc. He even managed to get points from the free-throw lines. At this moment, many of the fans felt Rodman might win against Shaq.

In the final five minutes of the match, the Blazers had substituted all their main players off the courts as they are losing by 20 points! Wind and Rain had taken the lead since the second minute of the match!

The match ended, and Feng Yu purposely block Paul Allen from leaving.

“Hi, Paul. This is an exciting match, right? Why didn’t you beg me? If you had begged me, I would ask my team to win by five points.”

Paul Allen is furious. F**k! My team was trashed by a lousy team!

“Eh? Why are you not saying anything? Sigh… the star player, Pippen, you all signed had played well today. 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. Let me look at my team’s rookie Pierce’s stats. 27 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Oh, this rookie’s salary is quite high. It’s more than 2 million USD. How much is your star player’s salary?”

Although this year’s season is shorter, Pippen’s salary is more than 11 million USD. How can such a player lose to a rookie?!

“Hmph! Feng, your team, cannot even qualify for the Playoffs!”

“Yes. I am also troubled by this. Do you think the NBA is against my team or something? My team is so strong and cannot qualify. Eh, did you spend money to get your opposing team to let you win? Please share it with me. If it is not too expensive, I can buy a package and let my team win all the remaining matches.”

Who had spent money to fix the matches? What package are you talking about?!

Paul Allen stared at Feng Yu angrily. My team had qualified because of their capabilities!

But Paul Allen cannot retort Feng Yu because his team was trashed by Feng Yu’s team!

20 points difference shows that both teams are on different levels. It’s like the top teams playing against the bottom tables.

“Hmph! If you are capable, we will meet in the Playoffs!”

“We will qualify next year, but I am not sure if your team will qualify.”

Hmph! Even if your team can qualify, your team will also be kicked out.”

“Yes. We might be kicked out if we don’t meet the Blazers. We are a lousy team, and the Blazers is the only team we can win!” Feng Yu replied with a smile.
