Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 214 The battle of revenge, the battle for imperial power!
James was expressionless, but his heart was overwhelmed.

He regretted coming over to talk to Wu Di...

He is very taboo to gamble, especially with NBA players. In his opinion, no one in NBA players can compare with him in wealth, except of course, old hooligans.

So if he wins the bet, no matter what the bet is, it is nothing to his wealth empire, and it may also attract jealousy.

And if he lost the bet, it would seriously affect his mood.

For a person like him who is unwilling to drive traffic, if he loses a sports car or something, wouldn't it mean killing him?

However, on this occasion, James still decided to gamble, because the momentum cannot be lost!
And more importantly, if he loses this game, then his loss will definitely be more than ten sports cars, so bet with Wu Di, just to stimulate his game state!
Thinking of this, he straightened his clothes, raised his head and said domineeringly:
"I have a quota for Porsche's upcoming Hyper Car 918. How about it? This is the next generation of the Frog King. What do you have to offer? Don't tell me about your obsolete Mercedes-Benz SLR. Porsche is far behind!"

Wu Di smiled and shook his head:
"Liu Bulang, you can be a non-chief yourself! My SLR has a public price of 300 million US dollars, and I have a quota for your 918. I bought it for only 85 US dollars. I want to eat it!"

Old Zhan narrowed his eyes, Wu Di actually called him Liubulang?

Brownie can bear it, and he can't bear it:
"You want to play big? Then let's bet big! I have at least $3000 million in Beats, and you just need to take out $600 million in Instagram, how about it?"

"Tsk, not so good!"

Wu Di clicked his tongue, Lao Zhan's abacus is so good, he can hear it in Huaxia!
First of all, the boss of Beats is Dr. Dre. Dre is not an expert in acoustic technology. Beats mainly relies on brand marketing. If Lao Zhan gave him the equity of Beats, it would be equivalent to advertising for Beats for free. Dre As Lao Zhan's close buddy, he can convene the board of directors to reward Lao Zhan with new shares in the name of outstanding contributions, and Lao Zhan will directly earn blood.

Secondly, he invested 600 million dollars in Instagram, not worth 600 million dollars.

Now the number of Instagram users has increased by more than ten times driven by his series of operations, and the value of this part of the equity has also increased by at least ten times, but Instagram is not short of money for the time being, and has not been financing, which has not yet been reflected That's all.

Moreover, it is completely different from Lao Zhan’s later endorsement of Beats and becoming a minority shareholder. Wu Di’s involvement in Instagram was very early, accounting for 30% of the shares, which is second only to Instagram founder Kevin Systrom’s major shareholder.

And because of his merits in driving the number of users, he has no less right to speak on the board of directors than Systrom!

However, Lao Zhan sneered and said triumphantly:
"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't dare!"

Wu Di was not angry when he heard that. After all, with the investment vision of Lao Zhan, he might really think that the value of his Instagram shares is not as good as that of Beats!
Yes, Lao Zhan has a better investment vision and Lao Zhan is very self-disciplined. It is just a personality created by the media for Lao Zhan, which is very false.

To what extent is it false?

Lao Zhan’s career salary plus endorsement fees is a full US$17.5 billion. After deducting taxes and brokerage share, it also exceeds US$11 billion. Moreover, Lao Zhan is no better than Harden and others who love to spend. He basically has no big consumption except buying a house s project.

As a result, in the end, Lao Zhan's worth was just over $10 billion.

By the way, Lao Zhan basically bought a house at a loss in the end, even if he bought it early.

This is called having an investment vision?
Emmm is a little better than Jordan...the Second Master Pi next to him, but not many good ones.

Wu Di laughed and said:

"Small bets are fun, big bets are harmful, let's bet something else!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Di poked the "King" tattoo on his right arm, and said with a smile:
"Let's bet on this!"

James' pupils shrank suddenly, and Wu Di was referring to the nickname "King"!

His face darkened instantly, this is his most important brand asset, Wu Di actually said it was a small gamble?
This is everything about him!
He could no longer maintain a calm and breezy posture, instead he reprimanded angrily:

"You can pull it down! You have no qualifications to bet on this with me!"

The corner of Wu Di's mouth turned upwards. Judging from Lao Zhan's performance, he chose the right bet:
"Hehe, think about it before you speak, your King is only self-proclaimed, but I was elected, and..."

James was even more excited when he heard the words, he directly interrupted Wu Di and said:
"No, no, no, you are a foreigner, I am the orthodox! And you have to pay attention to first come first served! You clown!"

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Wu Di looked at Lao Zhan's back and shook his head. Lao Zhan has long been spoiled by this league. In the previous session, most of the players were friendly with him. No one had ever dared to challenge Lao Zhan's authority, so he I can't understand the risks of shouting before the game at all!
Not to mention Lao Zhan, Wu Di was soon surrounded by reporters who didn't think it was a big deal:

"Wu, you just suggested to James to bet on the nickname "Emperor"?"

"If you lose this match, will the title of Knight Emperor be invalid?"

"What do you think is the probability of winning this game?"

……

On James' side, since it is the Heat's home court, the reporters are even more crowded. The two emperors want to eliminate one. Is there a more exciting topic than this?
"My God, this is a good show!"

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Yang Yi's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Haha Wu Di really dared to come here. It's interesting. After this game, the two emperors don't need to divide the north and south to rule. After all, the NBA only has east and west divisions. There is no north and south division. In other words, there can only be one emperor left in the east!"

Zhang Weiping doesn't take too much trouble when watching the excitement.

"Hey, today's game is definitely going to break the ratings record! Who is the real emperor and who is the real NBA dominant player? After this game, we will know the answer!"

Yu Jia was even more excited and his gestures were trembling...

The live broadcast room of the sports channel was blown up, and the TNT live broadcast room was even more lively. Kenny Smith talked like a pearl:

"LeBron is being stupid this time. You have to cover your mouth and keep your voice very low for this kind of pre-match yelling, or you will be easily beaten by the opponent!"

"Hey, this kid, although he came from a poor family, has been favored by thousands of people since he entered the NBA. He has basically never suffered a disadvantage. Unlike Wu Di, Wu Di came out from the bottom..."

Kevin Dolan nodded again and again:

"That's right, LeBron didn't have any protective measures just now. Compared with Wu Di, he seems immature. The activity of shouting before the game is a technical job. He should bring Wade to help him with ideas, maybe not. It will be as troublesome as it is now!"

Barkley sneered and mocked:
"Don't you guys try to lie to me, stop playing the stinky trick of wanting to promote before suppressing. After today, even if Wu Di doesn't mention this, do you think there will still be two emperors? How is that possible! You must want to join forces to deceive me Championship ring!"

Kenny Smith was laughed at by him:
"Old Cha, you are in a daze! No one mentions the ring at all!"

"... But then again, do you want to gamble with me again?"

Barkley slapped the table directly and cursed:

"Bet you are paralyzed, brother pig, I have already downloaded the anti-fraud app! Anyway, I have already figured it out. My historical status has surpassed Malone undisputedly. I have been satisfied in this life!"

"What did you say?"

Suddenly, a middle-aged smoke sounded, and the studio erupted instantly. Buckley also opened his mouth wide, because the owner of the voice just now was the "postman", Karl Malone!

Because of the high attention to this game, Ma Long was invited by TNT to be a guest with a lot of money!
Malone smiled and touched Barkley's bald head:
"I have two MVPs, how many do you have?"

Kenny Smith burst into laughter instantly. Malone and Barkley have always had status disputes because of the same era and position. This is very lively!

However, Barkley was disdainful:
"I have a championship ring, do you have it? You don't! Luthor!"

Malone's face collapsed in an instant. Compared with Barkley, the championship ring was more lingering pain for him.

You must know that in his later years, he directly abandoned the honor of one person, one city and went to the Lakers to form a team. He formed the Lakers F4 day team with Kobe, O'Neal, and Payton. Not only did he not win the championship, but his reputation was also ruined because of the Vanessa incident. ...

Kenny Smith almost choked to death:

"Cough cough cough... Oh damn, Charles, you stupid pig! You have an egg, return my ring to me quickly, you don't deserve it!"

Barkley looked at the deflated appearance of the two, and Malone, who was called a taunt, was extremely angry:

"Nonsense! The championship ring can only match one MVP, you have to win another one to surpass me!"

Buckley shook his head:

"Yeah, you're right, go tell LeBron, he will thank you! Maybe he will recognize you as godfather!"

Ma Long just wanted to refute, but he couldn't help but burst out laughing:

"Fack, Charles, it's no wonder you're such a fish in water on TNT, it's so classic! Sorry, LeBron, I can't hold back!"

After a group of people laughed, Kevin Dolan interjected:

"Carl, why don't you make a bet with Kenny? If you win another championship ring, you will surpass Charles..."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Barkley took the lead in applauding.

Ma Long was also interested. He straightened his chest and began to show his muscles on the spot.

"Then if I win, I will have an MVP and a championship ring, the same as Charles, right? You can pull it down, Kevin!"

Kenny Smith waved his hands back and forth angrily in the middle of his speech. It's not that he's not interested, it's just that the risk is too great!
Karl Malone is half a James. If you want to bet, you must support the Heat, and this guy is a guest on TNT. Kenny Smith has to let him, isn't it the end?
He didn't dare to dwell on this topic, so he turned his head and began to explain:

"Friends in front of the TV audience, the joke is over, now we start to officially explain the annual final battle of the revenge drama!"

The other three obviously haven't had their fun yet, but Kenny Smith's professionalism is still there. Despite the dissuasion of several people, he continued to explain in a cadenced tone:
"This is the ultimate game where the outcome is determined by one battle! The battle of revenge, the battle for imperial power, who is the one who is qualified to be the emperor? Who can win the supreme throne? Let us wait and see!"

"The appearance ceremony has begun, and Wu Di is the first to appear on stage, oh Maikar, listen to the boos of the audience, oh Maikar, it's so crazy, have you ever seen a booing that overshadowed the DJ shouting mic? I I haven't seen it anyway..."

Kevin Dolan couldn't stop shaking his head:

"Make the opponent's city crazy for you, Wu Di did it!"

Barkley said with a smile:
"What's the matter, after this game, he can make the whole of America crazy..."

Kenny Smith hurriedly said:

"Old Cha, why not..."

Barkley turned to Malone when he heard the words:

"Old horse..."

Malone turned to look at Kenny Smith again:

"Old Ken..."

Yep, it's back again!
There was a lot of laughter at the scene, Kevin Dolan looked at these three live treasures, and took out his whistle with a look of hatred, beep!
"Hey, you guys are basketball players, not football players, and you can't kick the ball!"

Barkley was about to reply, but Kenny Smith coughed a few times and continued to explain:

"Look at the Heat's appearance ceremony, LeBron is still the first to appear, tsk tsk, the cheers are much higher than in the previous games! It seems that the people of Miami have completely accepted the little emperor!"

Ma Long was also touched, and said with emotion:
"Hehe, can you not accept it? Don't look at how much LeBron has grown in this playoffs. He averaged 30.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. He is absolutely dominant..."

Barkley retorted:

"What's the matter, Wu Di directly averaged 37.6 points per game, LeBron is far behind!"

Ma Long immediately pouted and spread his hands and said:

"Charles, you're overdoing it. Wu Di is not as good as James in rebounds, assists, and steals..."

Kenny Smith took a deep breath and said:
"Old Cha..."

beep!
Kevin Dolan quickly took out his whistle to stop Kenny Smith from wanting to kick the ball again:
"Kenny, don't let me send you six off!"

“Crab is not meat!”

Kenny Smith spat, but continued to explain:

"The last one to appear is Wade, good guy, the Heat are dancing the battle dance, this big pillar of flames, it feels hot from a long distance! It really makes people's blood boil!"

"Okay, the lights are on. The Cavaliers' starting lineup is Davis at No. 1, Parker at No. 2, Wu Di at No. 3, Jamison at No. 4, and Love at No. 5!"

"The Heat's starting lineup is Bibby at No. 1, Wade at No. 2, James at No. 3, Haslem at No. 4, and Joel Anthony at No. 5!"

The two sides stood on the middle circle and prepared to jump the ball. Hey, it turned out to be James and Wu Di jumping the ball! "

"What a spectacle! Huge gift crab, the previous starting big centers on both sides were injured, James and Wu Di jumped the ball, this is the preparation from the beginning to the end..."

"James put the ball into Wade's hands! Hehe, Wu Di's physical talent is still not good enough. James' height and jumping are even better!"

On the court, Wade dribbled the ball quickly across the half court with a solemn expression. Just as he was about to attack on the flank, he suddenly thrust forward, crushing Parker, and rushed to the inside.

Everyone knows that The Flash is fast and can always take a step faster when the opponent is not ready, but in fact Wade is fast, the trick lies in the rhythm!

One stop and one burst, although this rhythm is simple, Wade has tried it time and again, as fast as lightning.

However, this time he was planted!

I saw that Parker actually got stuck in the position where Wade wanted to break through ahead of time, Wade stumbled for a while, turned to stop and dribble behind his back and pulled back!

Wade was a little surprised for a while, Parker's explosive power was far inferior to him, but did he stop him?
This is the result of the Cavaliers' training in the past few days, summarizing everyone's offensive routines in the Heat, so as to make up for the lack of physical fitness and defensive awareness.

James beckoned for the ball, but Wade was a little unbelieving, and once again resorted to rhythm changes!
Moreover, he was mentally prepared this time, stopping and stopping immediately after a stop and then suddenly, tearing Parker out of half of his body in an instant and rushing inside!

Jamison resolutely defended and was also stuck in Wade's only way. Wade threw his elbow and wanted to pass the ball to James, but when he saw Wu Di's movement to steal the ball, he turned a corner and passed it to James. Bibby in the open corner!

Snapped!
"It's broken! Davis completed the steal! This is a chain plan, Wu Di suddenly broke out, forcing Wade to pass to Bibby, but Davis was already prepared!"

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly following the exclamation of the audience.
