Although it was a fluke to win the game, this did not prevent Xu Yi from going to the scene of the post-match press conference with a good mood, and he remembered that bet.

Pushing open the door and glancing around, Xu Yi found that the reporter for USA Today was gone.

"Hey, friends, where's the notebook reporter? Could it be that he has already run away? Xu Yi was a little speechless, he actually ran away, this cheeky skin is really thick.

"Are there any USA Today reporters here?" Xu Yi asked another question.

Still no one answered, Xu Yi could only see a few reporters shrug their shoulders, meaning that there were no reporters from USA Today here.

Xu Yi also shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Okay, I really didn't expect that this kind of untrustworthy person really exists, and he is still a reporter." ”

"Hey, Xu, don't worry, we'll help you cash in on this bet." Xu Yi just wanted to use this incident to satirize the reporters below, and several reporters smiled and said that they wanted to help Xu Yi.

This made Xu Yi unexpected, there are such kind-hearted people among the reporters? looked at these reporters, Mark Stein of ESPN, Michael Rosenberg of Sports Illustrated, and Xu Yi did not know, but looked at the press card on his chest, it was a reporter from Yahoo Sports. Looking at the schadenfreude smiles on the faces of several reporters, Xu Yi understood that these guys were not kind, they were just trying to find some topics.

Xu Yi was not afraid of them finding a topic, so he smiled: "That's really good, I'll wait for your help." ”

There's really not much to say about the post-game press conference, especially if the game was won by the Raptors, and the group of reporters are no longer interested in the game itself, they are more looking forward to the next time, when Sam Amik eats the notebook.

The Raptors' win over the Pacers on the road gave the Raptors a further boost to morale.

After the game, Xu Yi paid attention to the game between the Celtics and the Knicks, the Celtics won the Warriors at home, and the Raptors still failed to narrow the gap between them and the Celtics.

And the Knicks lost to the Nets in the same day's game, which can be regarded as confirming Xu Yi's pre-game speculation, the Nets have lost 3 in a row, and they are obviously unwilling to usher in 4 consecutive defeats, so in this game, they began to exert their strength, and in the face of the Knicks, who were also in bad shape, the Nets won a victory.

At this moment, the Raptors' record has come to 36-39, and the Knicks' record has become 39-37, and the two sides are only 2.5 wins away!

Now the Raptors have risen to ninth in the East, and the 76ers lost to the Trail Blazers in the previous day's game, and their record has become 36-40, 0.5 wins behind the Raptors. The Cavaliers lost to the Bucks in today's game, also 0.5 wins behind the Raptors!

With the win over the Pacers and one step closer to the playoffs, the Raptors are already full of morale and are united to launch a charge towards the goal of the playoffs!

The Raptors' next opponent is the Bucks, who are by far sixth in the East, and form the second group in the East with the Hornets and Heat, and they are far ahead of the Celtics and Knicks behind them.

There are no stars in this Bucks team, so Xu Yi admires the Bucks' coach Terry Porter very much, and his ability to bring this Bucks to the sixth place in the Eastern Army is obviously a demonstration of his personal strength.

The most famous player in this Bucks team should be Michael Reed, who was not the future King of the Deer at this time, although his shooting has begun to take shape and he has been selected as an All-Star. But at this point, Michael Reed is not the league's top scoring guard, at least compared to Vince Carter, the gap is very large.

And this game also reflects the gap between the two, facing Vince Carter, Michael Reid fired on the outside as usual, but then was disrupted by Vince Carter's more frantic attack, Vince Carter completely exploded Michael Reed, and Chris Bosh on the inside also finished off Keith Van Horn, whose strength has dropped significantly.

The Raptors easily won this game, ushering in Xu Yi's 5 consecutive wins after taking over the Raptors! However, it is a pity that before that, the Knicks had already defeated the 76ers to stabilize their standings, and the gap between them was still 2.5 wins.

However, Xu Yi doesn't care much about the gap between the wins, there are 6 games left before the end of the regular season, and the gap of 2.5 wins is still something to chase, so Xu Yi doesn't need to worry.

What he was anxious about now was Sam Amik's notebook. It's been 2 days since he returned from Indiana, plus the time he spent playing the Bucks, and Sam Amick's notebook is still not moving. At the post-match press conference, Xu Yi checked Sam Amik again, and the unpromised USA Today reporter seemed to have disappeared.

However, the reporters who promised to help Xu Yi told Xu Yi not to worry, and ESPN's Mark Stein mysteriously asked Xu Yi to pay attention to the evening news of ESPN Sports Station.

Xu Yi's heart moved, he felt that the final answer might be in this evening news, and hurriedly asked the players to clean up and go home, Xu Yi left the stadium and trotted all the way back to the apartment.

"Hey, Xu, are you back so early?" Xu Yi had just taken out the key to open the door, when a familiar shout came from behind him.

"Oh, Jay, did you just come back, too?" It was Jetriano who shouted Xu Yi, the two had just finished playing the Bucks with the team, and it stands to reason that Xu Yi would come back later, so Jetriano would ask from this.

"Well, why did you come back so early today? Is there nothing going on with the team? ”

"Of course there is, but I'll leave it all to Kevin, and I'll have to come back and watch the show." Xu Yi smiled mysteriously.

"Fun?" Jetriano came interested.

"Remember the bet I made with that USA Today reporter? Maybe tonight, he'll cash in on that bet! ”

Jetriano laughed, with an expectant look on his face: "Hey, Xu, it's fun to watch the show together!" ”

As he spoke, he squeezed into Xu Yi's door, Xu Yi had no choice but to let go of the door, and the two entered the living room, Xu Yi couldn't wait to turn on the TV, and Jetriano couldn't wait to sit on the sofa.

"ESPN Sports, oh! It's not started yet! Xu Yi flipped to the ESPN sports station and found that the evening news had not yet begun.

"So let's talk about something else, Xu, did you watch the Celtic game? It seems like it's coming to an end. Jetriano brought up the Celtic game.

Xu Yi is a little indifferent, now the Celtics are 4 wins away from the Raptors, there are 6 games left in the game, and it is difficult for the Raptors to chase.

"I didn't pay much attention to it, and the difficulty was going to be lost?"

"Haha, you guessed it, the Celtics are already 22 points behind." Jetriano laughed.

Xu Yi hurriedly flipped over the stage and flipped to the NBC Sports Channel, which broadcast the Celtics game live today, and sure enough, there was only 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the game, and the Celtics were already 24 points behind, obviously the defeat was decided.

"Let me think about it, if Celtic loses, then they have only three wins left with us! Aha! Celtic can also chase! Maybe our goal should be changed to seventh in the East! ”

After the two talked and laughed for a while around the Celtics and playoff goals, the evening news from ESPN Sports began. Normally, ESPN's evening news starts after all NBA games have ended, and it is a live broadcast that summarizes the NBA's games for a day.

The picture cut into the studio, and Xu Yi suddenly stood up: "It's that reporter, haha, it's really here!" ”

Sitting in the corner of the studio was the notebook reporter Sam Amik, but the first thing the camera was aimed at was the host of the evening news, a beautiful host that Xu Yi didn't know.

"Good evening spectators, welcome to ESPN Evening Sports News, the NBA games on April 4 are all over, we have invited USA Today's expert reporter Sam Amik, as well as ESPN expert reporter Mark Stein, Yahoo Sports expert reporter Adrian Wonarowski, three experts for us to make an analysis of today's game, first of all, let's enter the first link."

The beautiful host said a lot, and she was ready to enter the first link.

"Hey, wait a minute, Lisa, we have something important to announce." Mark Stein directly interrupted the beautiful hostess named Lisa. "As we all know, before the Pacers' home game against the Raptors two days ago, USA Today's expert reporter, our Mr. Sam Amick and Raptors head coach Mr. Xu Yi made a bet on the Raptors to win the game or the Pacers to win the game, but in the end the Raptors won the upset, so our Mr. Sam Amick lost the bet."

"So, our Mr. Sam Amik has to make good on his promise, and he's going to have to eat his notebook." Adrian Wonarowski laughed and picked up Max Stein's words.

The two laughed, but Sam Amic could only show an embarrassed smile, and Xu Yi and Jetriano in front of the TV also let out a sneering laugh.

"But considering that Mr. Sam's notebook is made of cowhide, it is too precious and not very easy to digest, so we made a special notebook cake for Mr. Sam Amik."

Immediately, several staff members appeared on the TV, hugging a cake that had been made into the shape of a notebook.

Xu Yile, this is a cake that is exactly the same as the notebook Sam Amick held in his hand that day, apparently this was negotiated by both parties, ESPN and Yahoo Sports got the topic they wanted, and Sam Amick was able to get out of the bet incident without taking his own life.

Although Xu Yi was helpless, he also knew that it was obviously impossible to make Sam Amik eat a real notebook.

However, when Sam Amick took a bite with an embarrassed face, Xu Yi laughed again, still like that.

Because on the TV, Sam Amik's face turned red and he kept saying, "Oh! Oh, my God! Oh! Shet! How much mustard did you put in! It's too spicy, it's too spicy! ”

Everyone burst into laughter, although Sam Amik bargained, but in the end he succeeded in fixing him, how much mustard was put in? Xu Yi looked at Sam Amik's blushing and thought that the amount of mustard would not be much smaller than that cake!

In the next show, Xu Yi didn't pay much attention to it, and he and Jetriano were almost laughing on the sofa.
