Chapter 39: The Gambling Contract (Part II)
Ligins' words instantly broke the atmosphere created by Chen An's ingenuity, Fanny couldn't help but nod slightly at Liggins, thinking that he did a good job, they didn't invite Chen An to sing the leading role in this episode, since Chen An took the initiative to talk with a joke, Fanny felt that the situation was a little out of control, but fortunately, Liggins exerted his power at a critical moment.
There was a whisper in the field, obviously, not every audience knew about the curse of the Summer League MVP, and Fanny also seemed very surprised, and immediately sang and reconciled with Liggins on this topic, and when Ligins finished talking about the curse of the Summer League MVP, Fanny naturally kicked the ball over, ready to embarrass Chen An.
"I wonder what the 'Gambler' coach and Mr. President think about the curse?"
Chen An was sure that the old lady Fanny had deep malice towards her, otherwise she would not still call herself a 'gambler' coach, even if it was an excuse for entertainment, then such entertainment would be too much.
Rob, this guy is really cowardly, in the last show, it was as if he had been cut off, and he still lowered his head to play soy sauce, Chen An didn't count on him, just smiled slightly and said: "There is an ancient Chinese saying called Zi Bu Yu is strange and chaotic, and personally, I don't believe in the existence of curses."
But taking a step back, even if the curse does exist, then I firmly believe that there is a mysterious power in me that originated in the East, which is enough to help Lillard break the curse and let him shine with the light that should belong to him! ”
Chen An's words were categorical, his eyes were folded, and the whole person exuded an extremely confident atmosphere, which couldn't help but infect the audience, and the applause rang out again.
It's just that Ligins is trying to make trouble, and I saw him roll his eyes with an exaggerated expression and say: "Wow, Mr. Gambler is really very confident, but it's a pity that this kind of confidence can't change the outside world's perception of your team." ”
Chen An knew that he couldn't be good today, so he didn't give an inch, and said directly-for-tat: "You are wrong about one thing, no matter what the outside world thinks of us, it can't change the strength of our team, let alone affect the results we want to achieve in the new season!" ”
Ligins' guy is crazy, he was very excited about Chen An's response, and immediately said: "Is it less than thirty wins?" ”
Chen An smiled, then the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and a cold light appeared in his narrow eyes, and those who were familiar with Chen An knew that he was angry, a precursor to an imminent outburst, just like the lion's roar in Las Vegas.
Rob stretched out his hand a little worried and tried to appease Chen An, but Chen An ignored it, and then looked at Ligins with a straight face: "This gentleman, I don't know if you have heard the story of Buckley and the donkey's ass. ”
This story is very famous, it is impossible not to know who pays attention to the NBA, it is about when Da Yao first entered the NBA, "Big Mouth" Barkley made a bet with the show's partner Kenny Smith on TNT's "Barkley Talk Show" program, Barkley said that if Da Yao can score 19 points in a game, he will kiss a donkey's butt, and Da Yao quickly made Barkley "dream come true" with his performance, and in the game with the Lakers, Da Yao scored 20 points on 9 of 9 shots, Barkley also kissed the donkey's butt in public on the show afterwards.
"Did I hear me right, does Mr. Gambler want to bet with me?"
Liggins stood up excitedly, and Chen An shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why not?" ”
Liggins almost cheered, and was about to speak, but he didn't think that Chen An said: "I'm actually very entertaining, and at the same time, I'm also full of confidence in my team, so just kissing the donkey's ass is not exciting enough." ”
"So what?"
"I can make a gradual bet with you. One, if my team wins more than 30 wins in the new season, Mr. Liggins will have to kiss the donkey's ass in public at Fanny's Midnight Show, and I will be the one to make the bet.
Two, if my team has 40 wins or more in the new season, then ask Mr. Ligins to walk around our Magic arena at six o'clock in the morning. Bare. ran three laps, and recorded it with video and uploaded it to the Internet for the majority of netizens to witness. Of course, if my team doesn't reach 40 wins, naturally I'll go. Bare. Flee.
Three, if my team makes the playoffs in the new season, then Mr. Ligins asks you to buy 10 packages for the 13-14 season and distribute them to fans as a benefit. On the other hand, I paid for 10 sets of tickets to give to everyone. ”
Quiet!
In an instant, the audience was silent and the needle drop could be heard, no one expected Chen An to play so big, there was nothing to say about kissing the donkey's buttocks, but it was just to imitate Barkley's old wisdom; As for. Bare. It's a gimmick, but that's all; The point is, 10 tickets are not a small bet.
You must know that the package ticket is also the team's annual ticket, including all the regular season home tickets for a whole season, that is, the tickets for 42 games, even if it is much discounted compared to buying a single game ticket, a package ticket is worth tens of thousands of dollars, especially some packages with good seats in the front row are as high as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And even if it is the most advanced package, 10 copies add up to a lot of value, in short, if Chen An loses, most of the year will be in vain.
Rob was dumbfounded, he knew that he and Chen An came to the show mainly to sell tickets, he didn't expect that Chen An could fight to such an extent in order to sell package tickets, which made him, the president, very embarrassed.
Liggins was also stunned, he was shocked by Chen An's self-confidence, he really didn't understand where Chen An got such confidence, but he had to admit that this strong and inexplicable self-confidence made him retreat, after all, hundreds of thousands of dollars of bets, if he loses, his income for a year may be wasted, if he is repaid, he will still be able to mix in Orlando TV in the future?
Ligins was stunned, and looked at Fanny with a pleading gaze, Fanny was also an old oilman, and immediately said, "Coach Jason, I'm a little out of shape." ”
Loss?
Chen An sneered, then stood up and said categorically to the camera: "What is the head coach?" It is a collection of the will of a team, he represents the collective will of a team, and if you can't do that, you are not a good coach.
I feel like I'm a good coach, so when someone questions the team's results in front of me, I have to stand up and fight back with the most resolute response, because it's not just my will, it's the will of the whole team, and we as a team believe that we can achieve great results in the new season, and we will give 12 points for it!
I'm not out of shape, it's about having to be, for myself and for the sake of the team, we need a bet like this as an incentive, and we need to prove it for ourselves with that incentive. I believe that the majority of fans in the field and in front of the TV also need it, because they pay for tickets not to see the team mess up, but to see the team positive and work hard to win the game!
So, I just want to ask Mr. Liggins now if he dares to make this bet with you. ”
