3. Chapter 3 Tickets
After discovering that the gem also has this function, Wang Jie cautiously tried it a few more times, and he found that as long as he had a similar idea in his head, the breath coming out of the gem would be launched from his hand and hit the target, and the distance and strength could be controlled, but in order not to be too eye-catching, he just made a little action at a few unknown times, dribbling, breaking the ball, and interfering when the opposite person was shooting. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It was originally an amateur-to-amateur competition, and with such cheating, it was very easy to win, and he touched the gem for fear of dropping it. Saying goodbye to Justin, Justin's plan to talk to the "goddess" in his heart today has come to naught again, but when Nicole walked by, she stared at herself deeply a few times, I don't know if it's an illusion.
The afternoon quickly passed in the activities of relying on memory to easily complete the course and secretly study gems, last night his uncle asked him to go to the nearby supermarket after school to buy something, Wang Jie got off the school bus early, and looked back, Nicole seemed to have been staring at him.
In the supermarket, after buying things according to the list, the one who paid in front of him was a middle-aged man, who was carrying a big bag of things, and was holding a very rare Nokia mobile phone, talking on the phone with people, talking as he walked: "Hey, do you know what I bought, Lakers playoff package, as long as the Lakers keep winning, you can always see the finals, it's not easy, oh, brother, you bought it too, where is the seat, okay, let me see, this one of mine, the seat is in the ......"
At this moment, the phone man finished paying, walked out of the supermarket, just walked to the middle of the road, stopped to take out his wallet, looked at the tickets, and the big bag in his hand also blocked the flexibility of the movement, a sudden braking sound, "boom" came, he was directly knocked to the ground.
Wang Jie came out of the supermarket and saw a crowd of onlookers on the side of the road, it seemed that there was an accident, he had never liked to watch the excitement, so he turned around and walked away, walked to the opposite side, and found a small book on the ground, after picking it up, he slowly muttered to himself: "Lakers tickets?" β
After a while, Wang Jie suddenly lowered his head, glanced at the "Tongling Baoyu" on his chest, and then looked at the package in his hand, thought for a while, and remembered that there was something next to the cashier in the supermarket......
Question: A young man who doesn't know the height of the sky, is bold, imaginative, and has an active mind, has a piece of "Tongling Jade" that can send out "true qi" to hit things at close range, and also picked up a playoff package ticket for the NBA famous team Lakers, what should he do with it?
Wang Jie's approach is to pounce into the supermarket, which not only sells things, but also sells a kind of thing that the masses like to see and love the American people: lottery tickets, from the big lottery to basketball guessing, everything.
After coming to the United States, the activity of playing basketball because it is simple and easy, it has become Wang Jie's biggest sports activity after class, although it is not as good as those who are born to bounce invincible blacks, but he is still very smart, at least he will not lose ugly, Wang Jie has liked basketball since then, and immediately thought of the basketball lottery, it is his natural cunning genes that are troubled.
He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, shortness of breath, and asked: "Hey, uncle, my uncle likes the Lakers, he said let me help him buy a few lottery tickets, how to buy them." β
The supermarket owner was very happy when he saw Wang Jie talking, and said: "The whole city is full of Lakers fans. Then he pointed to a few pictures on the wall and said: "Child, just guess the corresponding result of the game, there will be odds returns, but guess the odds of a single game are not high, it is better to string them together, oh, this is some of the winning tickets I have here in the past, you can understand it by looking at it." β
He seems to be a die-hard fan of the Lakers, and he is very happy to see that the Lakers' fan base has a successor, and he gave some pointers.
In a basketball game, it is impossible to guess the specific score, and there are usually several guesses: guess the home team and the away team; There is also the possibility of guessing the home or away team's victory or defeat in the case of handicap; and the difference in winning points, how many points can be won by the winning team; The over/under score is the final score of the two teams, added up, whether it is greater than the total score preset by the bookmaker.
Guess a certain outcome, for example, the day after tomorrow, that is, the Lakers' home game against the Houston Rockets on April 25, 1996 local time in Los Angeles, the Lakers' team win odds are 1. 5, which is higher than the Rockets' 1. 3γ This is not really high, so it is often necessary to introduce the meaning of "string".
That is, if you guess two games at the same time, if you guess them correctly, you will get the return of multiplying these two odds, which is called 2 strings of 1s, and if you guess two 1s. 5 odds for the result of the match, you will get 2. 25 times the return, and so on, there are 3 strings of 1, all the way to 8 strings of 1, the return rate will be under the multiplier rule, become very large, but correspondingly, the difficulty is also very large, in fact, this store put out the winning record for past customers, are around 5 strings of 1.
If you can only go to the Lakers...... Since the competition system can only guess the first round of the game, because the first round does not end, who knows which team will play which team in the second round.
Obviously, unlike Wang Jie's initial thoughts, he pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Can you mix betting?" That's a good feeling, I want to guess the game between the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the big score, the victory of the Lakers, the difference of 10 to 15 points. β
In the playoffs, each round is a two-team game, and whoever wins 4 games first advances to the next round, that is, a maximum of 7 games, this round, first two games at the Lakers' home court, and then two games back to the Rockets' home game, and then the Lakers.
Wang Jie used a pen to write and calculate on a piece of paper, and finally came up with a satisfactory plan, "That's it, I want 100 times." "His living expenses are mainly remitted from his family, and his uncle pays part of his tuition, and he will find a place to work during the summer and other holidays, so he still has some savings.
The lottery ticket was quickly played, Wang Jie took it, and looking at the four-digit return prize on it, he muttered to himself: "Wei Xiaobao seems to have said that he made a fortune in a muffled voice." β
He is a quiet teenager who loves to read, it is very simple to imitate his own behavior with the characters in the book, all kinds of wisdom of those classic novels, this is the crystallization of the wisdom of the old fritters who have been immersed in the society for many years, although Wang Jie himself does not know why, but do not bet too much, change a few betting shops to scatter betting, reduce people's attention, these cunning skills, he will learn as soon as he learns.
This is Wang Jie's principle of doing things.
He said just do it,Within a few days,He rode a bicycle,Began to buy lottery tickets at the surrounding lottery stations,During the day, the security of Los Angeles can still walk around,Even at night,As long as you don't go to those neighborhoods,For example, near USC,You can have basic protection,This is what my uncle told themγ
Like a thief, excited, expectant, and full of hope to make rapid progress every day reading, playing, as a Chinese, Koko first is not unimaginable, go home at night, practice the mastery of Tongling Baoyu in the bedroom, he even practiced some skills without a teacher, not only can use the power to push an object, but also at close range to "pull" a thing, similar to the hero Xiao Feng's "dragon grabbing".
Even when there was no one in class, he slipped to the basketball court, shot, and then interfered with the basketball to practice "accuracy".
Everything was waiting until April 25, and in the evening, he made an excuse to help his uncle finish the restaurant, so he took a taxi to the Great Western Forum Arena, which has been used by the Lakers since 1967, some years, but it can still be used.
The seat on the ticket was in the third row between the home and away seats, and it was just right for Wang Jie, and when he entered the door, a staff member gave him a booklet about the personnel of the two sides, and he carefully remembered Cedric Ceballos, Eddie Jones, and the Rockets' Hakeem Olajuwon, the Rockets center was definitely worthy of the title of the top pick in the 1984 draft.
In fact, in terms of the bookmaker's odds and Wang Jie's eyes, the Rockets are slightly stronger, but he is destined to be a bad boy.
The NBA game basically started with the "howl" of DJ, and then the dancing of several beautiful big sisters with thin waists and long legs, and the home and away team players entered, and at the same time, Wang Jie's basketball lottery ticket in his hand was already hungry and thirsty.
In today's game, the two teams can't add up to 190 points, and the Lakers are 10 points higher than the Rockets, and all Wang Jie has to do is to sit in the middle of a group of fans who are full of fat and howling, slowly drinking drinks and eating snacks.
Wang Jie was unmoved, in a man's case, except for ****, it is money that allows him to devote himself wholeheartedly, in the first three quarters, basically although the Rockets are ahead, but the score is not too wide, and the third quarter is about to end, Wang Jie finally shot, when a player on the Rockets team shoots a three-point shot, his right hand moves slightly, and the basketball is slightly deflected in the trajectory of the throw.
"Bad luck."
The on-site commentator shouted, "With the last three-point jumper of the third quarter missed, the Rockets temporarily led the Lakers by five points." β
These 5 points, but also the Rockets' lead over the Lakers' final score, the last quarter, the Rockets players found their shots, how to shoot and how to shoot, except for a few baskets under the dunk, the last quarter, the Rockets only scored 7 points, and the Lakers rose to catch up, the final score was 99 points to 88, just in line with the lottery conditions.
As long as the game on the 27th is successful, it will ......
Wang Jie, like the local Lakers fans, roared excitedly, as if there was countless money beckoning in front of him, and in an instant, the beautiful cheerleading sisters also became attractive.
