【317】 Bet with the General, the shark is the bet!
Gilbert Arenas's words are obviously a bit arrogant and unsightly, and Kristen Ledlow, as ESPN's new beauty reporter, inevitably has some contempt for Arenas's character in her heart.
After all, there is no harm if there is no comparison, Ledlow, who was born in 1988, just joined the job last year, as a sideline reporter and host for the NBA, because he made his debut as the champion of the Miss Beauty Pageant in the capital.
As a result, Ledlow quickly became popular in the NBA's journalist circles, and his popularity was on par with Erin Andrews.
Ledlow's growth in high school and college coincided with Lin Fei's rapid rise to fame with the Heat and the Knicks, so Ledelow, like many young female fans in Europe and the United States, is an out-and-out loyal fan of Lin Fei and the Knicks.
At this point, Ledlow and Mildew are like-minded, and the two have become good girlfriends because of their common hobbies.
On the sidelines of Madison Square Garden tonight, Mildew, Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart and Hollywood little singers formed a beautiful scenery.
"Gilbert, how would you rate the Wizards you've led this season? What do you think is the gap between the team and the Knicks led by Lin? ”
Arenas's personality has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't know how to be humble in front of reporters:
"This season has been the best for me and the team, and my teammates and I have only one goal in the playoffs, which is to help the team win the first championship in team history!"
"Lin's Knicks were an inevitable obstacle for us, they were strong and swept us away last season, but now my team and I are ready and we're here tonight for revenge!"
The Knicks not only swept the Wizards 4-0 in the playoffs last season, but also won all three games against the Wizards in the regular season this season.
So Arenas's rhetoric in front of the beautiful reporter Ledlow is somewhat untenable.
"Okay Gilbert, I wish you and your team a win over the Knicks, and I'll be looking forward to your performance from the sidelines!"
Seeing Kristen Ledlow turn around and walk towards the Knicks' warm-up half, looking at the other party's sexy and hot body, as well as the slender white and tender legs under the ultra-short hips, the "general", who already has two children, couldn't help but look straight with his eyes.
Compared with Laura, his wife who gave birth to two children and has passed away, 20-year-old Kristen Ledlow is really a stunner in the world.
With the beautiful reporter Ledlow watching the game from the sidelines, Arenas will try his best to lead the team to win this game tonight, and he can't let Lin Fei be arrogant and rampant anymore.
Seeing that Ledlow walked to Lin Fei's side for an interview, the brilliance emanating from his beautiful eyes was obviously even more adoring, Arenas's eyes were fierce, and the battle intent in his chest instantly burned even more crazy.
"Lin, what do you think of Gilbert Arenas for not donating money to the earthquake-stricken areas in your country?"
The expression on Lin Fei's face was always calm and calm, and he smiled at the microphone handed by Kristen Ledlow:
"Although the earthquake in our country is very serious, I am confident that the people in the affected areas will recover soon, and the donations of people everywhere are completely voluntary, and Gilbert Arenas, like anyone, has the right to choose, for which I fully respect!"
Speaking of this, Lin Fei changed his words and said: "Besides, as far as I know, although Gilbert Arenas has an annual salary of more than 10 million US dollars, his life and consumption are not planned, and he is extravagant, which leads to his very low savings, and it is indeed a little difficult for him to make a donation!" ”
Kristen Ledlow resisted the urge to laugh, and Lin Fei's words not only responded positively to Arenas, but also mocked the other party a few words by the way.
After all, compared with Lin Fei, the richest athlete in the world who is worth more than 1 billion US dollars, Arenas can indeed be said to have little money.
Compared to Lin Fei, who is worth more than 1 billion, but still reasonably plans his property and actively invests, Arenas may not be worth tens of millions of dollars, but he still lives a luxurious life, and the pattern and realm between the two can be said to be very different.
In Lin Fei's case, many black players, including Arenas, are as hedonistic as nouveau riche, lacking knowledge and faith.
"Lin, so for tonight's G1 game in the Eastern Conference Finals, are you confident that you can lead the team to win the Wizards again?"
"Of course, if I'm not mistaken, we haven't lost a game against the Washington Wizards since I joined the Knicks, and tonight was the same!"
The time soon came to seven o'clock in the evening, and at the signal of the referee, the starters of both teams walked onto the pitch.
The starting five on the New York Knicks' side are:
Point Guard (PG): Stephen Marbury,
Scoring Guard (SG): Lin Fei,
Small Forward (SF): Ron Artest,
Power Forward (PF): Zach Randolph,
Center (C): Eddie Curry.
The starting five of the Washington Wizards are:
Point Guard (PG): Gilbert Arenas,
Shooting Guard (SG): Tyshawn Stevens,
Small Forward (SF): Caron Butler,
Power Forward (PF): Antoine Jamison,
Center (C): Brandon Haywood.
In front of the technical desk on the sidelines, Knicks coach Isaiah Thomas and Wizards coach Eddie Jordan shook hands with each other.
Neither is a famous coach in the NBA, but the Knicks and Wizards have a good record this season.
In the Coach of the Season award, Isaiah Thomas and Eddie Jordan also came in first and second place, respectively.
As the car company endorsed by Lin Fei, the Porsche Group also attaches great importance to Lin Fei, the first person in the world basketball today.
spent tens of millions of dollars to sponsor this game, and at the same time, in order to support the Wenchuan disaster area, every time Lin Fei hit a three-pointer in tonight's game, Porsche will donate 1 million US dollars to the disaster area.
"Porsche is really bleeding a lot, a three-point shot is 1 million US dollars, with Lin's three-point shooting level, at least not 10 shots? That's 10 million dollars! ”
"Lin's single-game three-point shooting record is 15, if you score 15 more tonight, it will be converted into more than 100 million yuan!"
"How can a businessman make a loss-making business, in recent years, Lin Fei's endorsement has helped Porsche sell at least 100,000 more sports cars, and Porsche's popularity has always remained high among luxury brands, which is all due to Lin Fei!"
"Last year, Porsche launched the same flagship model of Lin Fei, a luxury car with a unit price of more than 900,000 yuan, and more than 3,000 units were sold in half a year.
Amid the chatter of the fans, the game on the pitch has begun.
Eddie Curry took the lead in picking up a basketball on Brandon Haywood's head, Marbury drove the ball into the frontcourt, and Lin flew up to play without the ball.
Gilbert Arenas stared at Marbury on the opposite side, and this season's performance on both offensive and defensive ends, in addition to the organizational aspect, the "Great General" can be said to crush Marbury.
Although Marbury was selected to the All-NBA team three times this season, there is still a certain gap compared to Arenas, the point guard of the second team.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the status of the team, Marbury is now the second leader of the Knicks after all, after all, assisting Lin Fei, while Arenas is the absolute boss of the Wizards and has unlimited firing rights.
However, Arenas and Marbury are indeed the two strongest point guards in the East this season, so tonight's direct matchup between the two at the No. 1 position is also a focus of fans' attention.
"Old guy, you're not my opponent, let's obediently hand over the ball to Lin! Otherwise, I'm going to make you die a miserable death! ”
While the sharp-eyed Arenas put pressure on Marbury's defense, the trash talk in his mouth was also chattering and arrogant to the extreme.
In fact, in this parallel world, Arenas does have his arrogant capital, two three-team and two two-team, three consecutive Eastern Conference All-Star starts, leading the young Washington Wizards to the best team record in regular season and playoffs.
Among the capital's fan base, Gilbert Arenas has a large number of fans, and his jersey sales are among the top three in the league.
As one of Adidas' five tigers, the basketball shoes endorsed by Arenas now surpassed Kevin Garnett in sales in the latest March and April to become Adidas' highest-grossing basketball shoe spokesperson.
The elimination of just one injury has given Arenas a completely different career, this season due to the slippage of Vince Carter, Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady.
Arenas, both in popularity and strength, has surpassed three of the four quarterbacks, second only to Kobe.
Although Arenas is a point guard, his playmaking skills are limited, and he spends more of his time in the game as a super scorer.
In Lin Fei's view, Arenas has strong upper body strength, accurate three-point shooting, one-hand ball and three points, and at the same time has strong breakthrough ability, first-class explosiveness, and strong defense.
Taken together, it can be said that Arenas, who is fully healthy, has the shadow of James Harden in the future, and the characteristics of Chauncey Billups of the current Nuggets are also somewhat similar, but the scoring ability is significantly stronger.
In the face of Arenas's opening provocation, the mature and steady Marbury did not take it seriously, but quickly gave the ball to Lin Fei, who ran out of the vacant position with double cover, after a feint breakthrough.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Fei received the ball near the three-point line at a 30-degree angle on the right side, clicked to avoid the misplaced Antoine Jamison, and the three-point shot pierced the heart.
"Huh!"
Knicks (3) :(0) Wizards.
Gilbert Arenas gritted his teeth, angry at Lin Fei's fiery opening state.
Compared with Lin Fei, Arenas believes that his three-point shortcoming is mainly in receiving three points after running without the ball, and at this point, he really can't compare with Lin Fei.
"Haha, Lin hit the first three-pointer in the opening game, it seems that Porsche is destined to bleed heavily tonight!"
"While supporting the earthquake-stricken areas of the Celestial Empire, we have also promoted our brand image, and with the help of Lin's huge popularity and influence, Porsche will definitely not lose money this time!"
On the court, the Wizards attacked.
Arenas dribbled the ball against Marbury's defense, and after consecutive crotch dribbles, he stepped back and jumped out, and shot a three-point shot directly at Marbury 1 meter from the three-point line.
"Huh!"
Also in.
"It's very difficult for Gilbert to step back for three points with the ball, if he has been in such a hot state tonight, then it seems that the Knicks are going to let Lin go to the wrong defense, and Stephen Marbury is obviously impossible to defend him!"
The ball was converted, Lin Fei took the initiative to ask Marbury for the ball at the top of the arc this time, and in the face of Tysean Stevens, who defended himself alone, a realistic Baifo shook the opponent, accelerated into the three-point line and attracted Caron Butler's quick defense.
Calmly hitting the ball to the basket, Ron Artest, who assisted in the empty cut, jumped up to catch the ball and took advantage of the time when Eddie Curry was entangled with Haywood on the right side, and flew to smash the ball into the basket.
"Boom!"
Atai scored +2, and Lin Fei assisted +1.
The Wizards attacked, and Arenas continued to face Marbury, this time with Haywood's pick-and-roll acceleration to the basket, and a flying layup for a two-point layup.
"Huh!"
Arenas, who scored 5 points in a row in the opening game, was extremely arrogant, and roared at Marbury after landing on the ground:
"Old fellow, I said I would definitely blow you up, you don't deserve to guard against me at all!"
As he spoke, Arenas's fierce gaze glanced at Lin Fei, and there was something in his words, obviously thinking that Knicks only Lin Fei was worthy of defending him.
Marbury will not easily convince anyone, the Knicks came to the offensive end in the next time, the old horse held the ball and directly singled Arenas, and also relied on skillful dribbling skills to accelerate past the opponent by half of the body.
After entering the penalty area, he pulled the left hand to make a layup and threw the ball to the basket.
Marbury's layup was too difficult, and Arenas didn't completely shake off the interference at his side, so the ball was a little off the crosshairs, and it fell out of the basket after two laps.
"Smack!"
Eddie Curry grabbed the offensive rebound against Brandon Haywood, and after landing, he just saw Lin Fei who slipped in from the bottom line on the right side, so he gave the ball out directly.
Lin Fei shook off the dead Vince in the opposite position in the reverse run, quickly cut into the penalty area on the right side of the bottom line, received Eddie Curry's pass, jumped up in one step, and faced Arenas, who hurriedly turned over under the basket and had no time to jump up to make up for the defense, and directly sent a strong dunk.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the moment Lin Fei smashed the basketball in his hand into the basket, his whole chest was already higher than the top of Arenas's head, and his crotch just landed on Arenas's face.
Arenas stumbled in a panic, and was directly squatted on the ground by Lin Fei.
"OMG, dunk, Knicks completed a wonderful match, Lin slipped, and the front dunk of Gilbert Arenas!"
After landing under the basket, Lin Fei was condescending, looking down at Arenas who was squatting on the ground with a king's majestic gaze, and said in a cold voice:
"Gilbert, do you dare to make a bet that if I can score 20 more points than you tonight and lead the Knicks to victory, how about you give me that great white shark you raised?" (End of chapter)
