Chapter 147 Mayweather’s big bet

"Another 4-0 sweep? The Miami Heat may make history."

The day after the first game, the Miami Sun-Sentinel ran such a headline, which was filled with countless pride and arrogance.

Ian Windman wrote in his article: "Everyone thought that LeBron James's statement before the game that he wanted to defeat the 76ers in five games was an exaggeration, but LeBron James used an absolute personal performance to win over the entire audience. In the game, he scored 31 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. In addition, Chris Bosh scored 17 points and 8 rebounds, and Dwyane Wade scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. The Heat were relaxed. won the game.”

"The Heat only won by 8 points, but the Heat already had a 19-point lead in the first half. If the lead wasn't too big and the Heat relaxed a little in the second half, the 76ers would definitely have suffered a disastrous defeat in this game. And a After an easy victory, the situation in the Eastern Conference semifinals has become clear. Although the 76ers defeated the Heat three times in the regular season, in the playoffs, the 76ers are still no match for the Heat."

"Everyone is saying that LeBron James is talking big, but now it seems that LeBron James is not arrogant, but too humble. The Heat can obviously sweep the 76ers."

"The playoffs are where the Miami Heat can really show their strength. They have to win 16 games here, and last night's game was the fifth victory! The Phillies' nightmare is far from over. Miami The Heat will let Philadelphians experience what it means to be a championship favorite in subsequent games! The Philadelphia 76ers have defeated the Miami Heat three times in the regular season, and now, it is time for the Miami Heat to fight back. LeBron James said that the 76ers can refuse the Heat's sweep, but in my opinion, the 76ers will definitely be swept by the Heat!"

"Now, the Heat's goal is not just to defeat the 76ers, they want to win all the games, win the Eastern Conference Finals again, and then avenge the San Antonio Spurs in the Finals. Of course, if the Spurs can reach the Finals if."

Ian Vindman had a milk spree, and Anxi also paid attention to this article. He can only say that this article made him happy.

Don’t Americans know what poisonous milk is? Don’t Americans know that being too arrogant will lead to divine punishment?

Anxi feels that the 76ers will definitely win the next game!

The Heat have begun to become arrogant. An 8-point victory can make them despise everything. It seems that the next game will teach them a lesson! Anxi thought for a while, rolled up the Sun Sentinel newspaper, and then went out...

April in Philadelphia is warm and springy, neither too cold nor too hot. It is a good season for training. Unlike the first round of the playoffs, in the second round of the playoffs, there is an extra day of rest between games. During the two-day break, no team will take a rest at this time. They have all organized training. Of course, no team will conduct particularly heavy training. The purpose of these two days of training is just to allow the players to maintain themselves. competitive status.

Anxi arrived a little late the first time. When he opened the door and entered the locker room, almost all his teammates were there.

Therefore, Anxi didn't need to wait any longer and took out the newspaper directly.

"Come on, brothers, let's see what the Ian Windman reporter from the Sun Sentinel said." The 76ers teammates gathered around, represented by James Anderson, and began to read Ian Windman Mann's article.

Then bursts of laughter erupted in the locker room.

"This guy is too arrogant. We must teach him a lesson in the next game!"

"Yes, sweep us? Are you thinking too much? We will defeat them in the next game and see how they sweep..."

Floyd Mayweather, the American boxing champion, once had an unexpected encounter with Anxi. At that time, Floyd Mayweather's coach was shocked when he saw Anxi and thought Anxi was the best in the world. Unparalleled boxing genius,

But Anxi was already the Spurs' starting shooting guard at that time, so he naturally refused the request to transition to boxing.

After that meeting, Floyd Mayweather left a number for Anxi. Anxi thought Floyd Mayweather would become his first boxing champion friend, but when the Spurs faced off against the Heat in the finals, At that time, Anxi discovered that Floyd Mayweather was a die-hard fan of LeBron James.

So, this friendship ended before it even started.

This time, Floyd Mayweather still supported LeBron James. At the gate of the Philadelphia Airport, Mayweather was spotted by an eagle-eyed reporter, stopped and asked about the showdown between the 76ers and the Heat.

"Mr. Floyd Mayweather, I heard that you are a fan of the Miami Heat, so are you coming to Philadelphia to watch the second game between the Heat and the 76ers?"

Mayweather did not refuse the interview. He said with a smile on his face: "Yes, I did come to watch the second game between the Heat and the 76ers. I came to support LeBron James. Everyone knows that I am LeBron James fans, this season will be the best time for LeBron to win the championship. I think LeBron will defeat Philadelphia and enter the Eastern Conference finals, and then win all the way to win the final championship."

"So you think the Heat are going to win this series?"

"Yes, I am very convinced that LeBron will lead the Heat to win this series. For this reason, I specially placed a bet with the bookmaker. I bet $10 million that the Heat will win this series. "

"10 million?" The reporter who stopped Mayweather was shocked.

Mayweather bet 10 million on the Heat to win this series? This is truly a big bet!

Prior to this, in order to support the Heat, Mayweather also placed bets with bookmakers several times on the Heat to win or the Heat to win the championship. For example, in the 2012-13 season, Mayweather bet $3.89 million on the Heat and the Pacers. The Heat won the Eastern Conference finals tiebreaker.

But in previous seasons, Mayweather often made bets worth tens of millions of dollars per season. This time, Mayweather paid $10 million in one round of the Eastern Conference semifinals, which was enough to surprise many people. .

10 million is not a small amount of money. Even if Anxi were to spend 10 million now, Anxi would think about it for a long time.

After all, Anxi's current average annual salary for the 76ers is just over 10 million.

If you consider that Mayweather is a boxing champion and a big shot in the boxing world, maybe asking him to pay 10 million is nothing, but if the 10 million is really wasted, it will be painful.

Therefore, when a reporter asked this question in a media interview before the second fight, Anxi replied in surprise: "Is boxing so profitable now? Is it possible to give away 10 million for free without even thinking about it?"

Anxi's response also triggered a certain degree of discussion.

"Haha, are Ann saying that the Heat are destined to lose?"

"This sentence has a hidden meaning, but the boxing industry is indeed very profitable."

"The boxing industry not only makes money, but also makes money very quickly. Should An think about changing careers?"

The above are the remarks made by Anxi fans, but Miami reporters and fans are not so friendly.

“You’ve already lost a game and you’re still talking tough!”

"Haha, according to the bookmaker's odds, Floyd Mayweather will make a huge profit of 7.9 million!"

Bleacher Report reporter Skolnik even named Anxi on his Twitter: "Now the 76ers can only show their strength with words. After losing the first game, Anxi's mental state has some problems. He should put his Focus on the game instead of paying attention to other things. Therefore, judging from Anxi's current state, they may lose the next game. If they continue to lose their home court advantage, then maybe the 76ers will refuse Even Sideswipe can’t do it.”

From the bleachers where Skolnick works, it seems that the reporter is making this statement in a neutral capacity, but in fact this reporter named Skolnick previously worked for a local tabloid in Miami and is a pure journalist. Miami fans.

Although he is not as optimistic as Ian Windman, Skolnick's words also indicate that he is quite confident in the Heat's promotion.

Anxi did not pay attention to the follow-up to Mayweather's heavy investment because the second battle between the two teams was about to begin.
