<h4>Chapter 1094 – Winners and losers</h4>


    Clean sweep. The Wind and Rain team had won against the zers. At the start of the season, the zers are still the hot favorite to win!


    Thisst year’s bottom table teams had only added a former all-star yer, juwon, and a Chinese yer. They managed to get past the first round of the yoffs.


    Three dayster, Paul Allen is still sore over Feng Yu’s call to invite him to thetter’s celebration dinner.


    Paul Allen is furious. He had not expected his team, which consists of more stars, higher wages, etc. to lose! He must fire that useless team manager and coach!


    Paul Allen also cursed Feng Yu to lose in the second round!


    But to Paul Allen’s surprise, the Wind and Rain team won the second round. This time, the MVP is not juwon. It was Carter and Pierce who had put up an outstanding performance. They had scored more than 25 points each against San Antonio Spurs, and their uracies are over 50%!


    Feng Yu was also surprised by his team performance. He did not expect his young yers to be outstanding, and Rodman had improved a lot after entering the yoffs.


    In the next round, the Wind and Rain team will be facing LA Lakers.


    Wind and Rain VS. Lakers!


    Many people are betting on the Lakers to win at first. During the yoffs, the Lakers are one of the hot favorites to win the championship.


    But the Wind and Rain team’s performance had shocked everyone. Furthermore, Shaq might win against juwon as he had lost to him before!


    Feng Yu also did not think his team will win against the Lakers, as Shaq is at this peak now. It is hard for any of his yers to stop him, luckily for Feng Yu, Kobe and other Lakers yers are not at their best.


    “Everyone, are you all confident of winning against the Lakers? This arena is called Wind and Rain Arena. If the Lakers win, it will be a disgrace to us!” Feng Yu pped and said.


    All the yers went quiet. Coach Karl said. “Boss, I have a way to stop Shaq. We will use the same strategy used by the San Antonio Spurs. Don’t forget, we will have a few good reserve yers.”


    Hack-a-Shaq!


    Shaq is not good at free throws!


    “We will be focusing on the fast offensive y from outside courts for our matches. Shaq will not have the stamina to keep up with us.” George Karl is good at counteroffensive y, and his yers are now suitable for this strategy.


    “Good. If you all can be the champion this year, I will not hold back during recontract! I don’t care about the luxury tax! I want is to see us win!”


    Carter, Pierce, and the yers were overjoyed. They were worried that only one of them can remain in the team when their contracts are up. If they can remain on the team and get a higher sry, it will be terrific!


    Lewis, Billups, Alston, and the rest, were determined to get the big contracts... to win the championship!


    “Wang Zhizhi, you had not yed much in the past few games. Do you have anything to say?” Feng Yu asked.


    Wang Zhizhi replied. “No... I will focus on my defense and speed.”


    Wang Zhizhi’s defense is below averagepared to other yers. If not for his uracy, Coach Karl will not even substitute him in.


    When Feng Yu encourages his team, Paul Allen had ced a heavy bet on the Lakers winning the championship with a bookmaker. He called Feng Yu to tell him about his bet.


    Kirilenko was with Feng Yu when Paul Allen called. He asked how much did Paul Allen bet. One million USD?! Fine! I will bet two million USD on the Wind and Rain team to win the championship!


    Feng Yu thought for a while, and bet two million on his team. The team owner cannot ce any bets, but Feng Yu can ce his bets under someone else’s name. For example, Ralph.


    When Paul Allen found out Feng Yu and Kirilenko had bet on Wind and Rain to win, heughed.


    Do you all think your yers can stop Shaq?! Shaq averages more than 30 points and 10 rebounds. He will destroy your team’s defense. I will have bought him over to my team if the Lakers are willing to let him go. If juwon is five years younger, he might still stand a chance. But now, he is no match for Shaq!


    After Feng Yu sold his Microsoft shares, Microsoft’s share price had been falling. Although the fall is not a lot and recovered slightly after they announced theunch of their new operating system, the share prices are still far from its peak.


    Feng Yu had exposed Enron to fabricate their finances and caused many rtedpanies’ share prices to plunge.


    Overall, all tech-rted shares are falling, and Microsoft’s market value was affected by it.


    Everything is all Feng Yu’s fault!


    That’s why Paul Allen will not miss any chance to humiliate Feng Yu!


    .......


    Shaq is staring at Wind and Rain’s Center Forward. The match had just started, and you had fouled four times. Can you y properly? Why are you always pulling me back?!


    That Center Forward stared at Shaq without backing off. He mumbled. “I dare you to hit me! Coward!”


    This is Coach Karl’s strategy. Provoke Shaq and mess up his momentum.


    Shaq is not rash and impulsive. He held back his anger... and missed both free throws. After Rodman got the rebound, he passed the ball to Billups. Billups made a long pass to Carter, and Carter performed a Tomahawk dunk!


    When Carter runs pass Kobe, he said. “Hee... how does it feel to be someone’sckey?”


    Kobe became furious and started acting on his own, disrupting the Lakers’ strategy. But Carter is on form now, and Kobe is not his match today. The Wind and Rain team immediately increases its lead.


    Lakers’ coach, who looks like KFC’s Colonel Sanders, was frustrated. This year, he had lost to San Antonio Spursst year and lost to the Wind and Rain team. Why can’t Shaq train his free throws?! Also, didn’t I tell you not tomit any fouls against juwon?! Why can’t you follow simple instructions?!


    That Kobe is not as skillful as Jordan but is as prideful as him! Why did he keep on ying one-on-one? Don’t you know when Jordan yed solo, he had never entered the finals?


    When the final whistle is blown, Feng Yuughed. They had won against the Lakers!


    In the next match, the Wind and Rain won against the Pacers. juwon had outperformed his opponents again. Although he did not score a lot of points, he destroyed the Pacers’ defense!


    4:2. LA Wind and Rain had won the NBA championships!


    Coach Karl and the yers cried with joy. This is their first time bing the champions. Feng Yu wasughing loudly as this was out of his expectation.


    Kirilenkoughed excitedly. “Feng, we won! We won the bet!”


    Kirilenko does not care about the winnings from the bookmaker. He is excited to win the bet against Paul Allen!


    Paul Allen was in a daze in front of the TV. The TV is showing the Wind and Rain team’s celebration. This is the first time this team won the championship, and it is only the second year after Feng Yu took over this team! Feng Yu is wearing a pair of sunsses, but Paul Allen could clearly see the wide grin on Feng Yu’s face.


    Boom! Paul Allen’s TV broke as he threw the remote control at the screen!


    Am I really a loserpared to Feng Yu?
