The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 92 [Bet]

After leaving Brown's house, Ye Feng said lightly: "Ariel, I'm sorry, I rushed to talk a lot just now. Are you not angry?"

Ariel snorted coldly. "You know I'm going to be angry? What do we say on the plane? If you rush to talk, you're likely to mess things up. I don't want to interrupt you in the house, I'm afraid you will lose face. But what will Brown do? Think? How can a player make decisions for the team, and the boss is listening? If he thinks that it is difficult to restrict you, a privileged player, why would he come to the Clippers to coach? Is he going to be a puppet like Mike Brown? ?”

In the Cavaliers, LeBron James has the absolute right to speak for the team. He said nothing. The whole league said that coach Mike Brown was a puppet. James had never heard his words in Cleveland.

Ye Feng sighed: "Sorry, I was too excited."

The two were walking on the street, and Ariel asked: "Do you not want the Clippers to introduce players according to Larry Brown's request? When I wanted to talk about this question, you hurriedly stopped me."

Ye Feng smiled wryly and said: "That's right, I think I have more vision than Brown in selecting players. Milicic and I have been teammates for three months, and his draft ranking back then was under one person and among ten thousand people." On. The only one ahead of him is James, and even the super talents like Anthony and Wade are behind him. But he sat on the bench for three years in the Pistons. Hickey doesn't use it, and I'm really skeptical about Brown's pick."

Ariel clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said, "Now you don't have to doubt, I think the possibility of him joining the Clippers is no more than [-]%. For the [-]% chance, let's stay for two more days. You will make mistakes and finally prove You are a normal person, but do you remember that I said that if I can’t hire a coach, I will work hard with you?”

Ye Feng smiled wryly: "You used to think I was abnormal?"

Ariel said coldly: "Of course it's not normal. You're only 20 years old, you think more than I do, and you're too steady in doing things. Sometimes I suspect that you were transformed from a monster."

"You just act like a thunderbolt and my IQ is higher than before, suddenly enlightened." Ye Feng won't tell Ariel about his coming from the future, that's too strange.

It's really hard for a bad team to attract a good coach. Ariel said that [-]% is too much. Ye Feng thinks that the possibility of Brown coaching the Clippers is almost zero.He simply changed the subject and discussed where to eat.

Seeing how quickly his thoughts changed, Ariel frowned and said, "Why are you in no hurry? If Brown doesn't join the Clippers, where can we find a good coach?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "What's the hurry? Brown is the first choice, and there are backup candidates. I can assure you, that one will definitely agree, and he is very good."

Ariel lowered her head and exhaled forcefully. "In the end, there is still a way out? God...you are so abnormal!"

If there is no way out, you will find me desperately, and if there is a way out, I will be abnormal.Ye Feng didn't know what to say.

When you arrive in Philadelphia, you must let go of your appetite.It is called "foodie's paradise".The well-known gastronomic venues are diverse, serving authentic cuisine of all nationalities, well-known regional delicacies and modern cuisine.Philadelphia is full of upscale restaurants and quaint bistros, and has more than 250 outdoor cafés.

For an authentic taste of Philly, don't miss the Philly Cheesesteak, an iconic sandwich with a 75-year history of ever-evolving recipes.Cheesesteak on an Italian bread roll filled with sliced ​​beef and cheese.Ye Feng tasted it for the first time, and felt that it was extraordinary.

That night, the two checked into the Sofitel Hotel under the arrangement of Secretary Hanke.Hanke ate delicious food and lived in a big hotel. It was a happy business trip.He is 42 years old this year, he is a seasoned fan, and he knows basketball very well. In his opinion, Ariel and Ye Feng are just messing around, trying to screw up the Clippers.But working under the hands of others, he will not speak out what is in his heart.

Two days later, Larry Brown invited Ariel and Ye Feng to meet at home.As soon as they entered the door, they saw a famous person—Michael Jordan.

Jordan stood up, stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, and said with a smile, "Ye Feng, Miss Sterling, it's nice to meet you. I just arrived in Philadelphia, and I'm coaching Brown."

"Hello, Mr. Jordan." Seeing Jordan, Ariel had a bad feeling.

Ye Feng stepped forward and shook Jordan's hand vigorously, and said with a smile: "Hello, Michael, seeing your smile is so bright, could it be that Mr. Brown has agreed to go to Bobcats?"

Brown and Jordan looked at each other, very ambiguous, looking like they were in a mess and full of affection.Ariel knew it was over.

Brown looked at Ariel, and said lightly: "Miss Sterling, the Clippers' invitation is very sincere, but I want to cooperate with Michael more. I think the Bobcats have more prospects than the Clippers. Los Angeles is a big city, and Ye It's too risky for Feng to be a core player. He is too young, and the Clippers' lineup is also very problematic. I really can't think of how to lead the Clippers to good results. Let alone the championship, even entering the playoffs is very difficult. Disaster."

Jordan sat on the sofa with his hands folded, and looked at Ariel, with a little disdain in his eyes, and said proudly: "The Bobcats have Okafor and Wallace on the inside, and Richardson and Felton on the outside. What do the Clippers have?" What kind of fame can he achieve as the best rookie? Brand will definitely jump out of his contract this season. It will be difficult for you to keep him. The competition in the Western Conference is already fierce. I think the Clippers will have to do poorly next season, right?"

The two expressed the same opinion on the Clippers based on their experience.Ariel became angry when she heard this. She pinched her waist, stared at Jordan and Brown, and said loudly: "What do you mean Ye Feng is too young? What mean that he can't make a name for himself? You don't understand him at all. He is the core The Clippers will definitely make it to the playoffs. Larry Brown, it’s fine if you don’t coach the Clippers. Why do you say these things to hurt his self-confidence? Don’t think that every young man is like the Milicic you selected, Kwame Brown is so useless!"

Ariel is not a good girl.If anyone makes her feel uncomfortable, even if the opponent is Jordan, he dares to challenge him!Since Brown is no longer coaching the Clippers, she is not afraid to tear her face apart.Donald Sterling is good at doing this. Like father, like son...

The two basketball legends were stunned.Ye Feng quickly put his hands on Ariel's shoulders, telling her to stay calm.He said lightly: "They're right. It's really difficult for the Clippers to make it to the playoffs next season, and my skills are not yet a superstar. Mr. Brown, I respect your decision."

After speaking, Ye Feng looked at Jordan again and smiled slightly. "Michael, I know you like to gamble, are you interested in making a bet?"

"Ha, boy, what do you want to bet with me?" Jordan laughed.He didn't care that Ariel got mad at all.Everyone knows about Jordan's crazy America. He doesn't take Ariel seriously at all. In his view, letting Ariel run the team is a joke.

Ye Feng said seriously: "I know you have always wanted to prove yourself in running the team, and Ariel has the same plan. Michael, I believe Ariel is better than you in this aspect. So, I want to bet on the Bobcats in the 2009-2010 season The record against the Clippers! Whoever has the best record wins."

Jordan froze for a moment, and laughed even harder. "What's the bet?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Everyone is not short of money. If I win, I hope you can hold a press conference and say that you think Ariel is the best owner in the NBA and you admire her very much. It's that simple. If The Clippers lost, you can ask me to do anything, you can choose, let me kiss the ass of a donkey like Barkley. Also, if the Clippers can’t make the playoffs in the second season after rebuilding, Even if the regular season record is better than the Bobcats, I still lose, how?"

The bet was anything but simple.It is more uncomfortable for the arrogant Air Jordan to admit that he admires a woman than asking for 1000 million US dollars.He restrained his smile, and said coldly: "The advantage of winning is hers, and you will be responsible for losing. Is this showing affection in front of me?"

Ye Feng snorted and said with a smile: "No, it's just because I saw something in the eyes of you two, you don't believe in the Clippers, you don't believe in me, and you don't believe that Ariel can manage the team well. In terms of football skills, I do have many deficiencies. I dare not say that I am better than you, or even Kobe, but I believe that Ariel can bring me good teammates, a suitable coach, and make up for my shortcomings. The Clippers have become a strong team. She is the person I trust the most, and I don’t want to see others show a little contempt for her, even if it’s just a look! Michael, are you willing to make this bet?”

Ye Feng believed that he would win.The Bobcats seem to have a luxurious lineup, but in fact there are many hidden dangers. The best result is just the first round of the playoffs.Ariel trusted him, put him under a lot of pressure to get him to the Clippers, and was willing to build a team according to his requirements.If after a year of running-in with his teammates, he can't pass the first round of the playoffs by 2010, then what kind of time traveler is he?He couldn't live up to Ariel's trust and expectations, otherwise he wouldn't be qualified to stay by her side.This bet is the lowest goal he has set for himself!
Qiao Dan looked at Ye Feng and sneered, "I bet you!"

Larry Brown didn't expect this to happen after a few words. He thought that when he called people together and rejected the Clippers, the two young men would definitely give Jordan face.He didn't expect Ye Feng to bet against Jordan to compare his record.This is not just a bet with Jordan, but also like saying to him, "If you choose the Bobcats, you will regret it in the future!"

Ye Feng left Jordan's phone number and left with Ariel.

After they left, Brown sighed: "Michael, what do you think? It's been a long time since young people dared to talk to you like this?"

Jordan smiled and said, "These two little bastards are really a match made in heaven."
