Six Hundred and Sixty-Seven: The Godfather and His Thugs

Gilbert Arenas became popular again overnight. The incident of him and Jordan's "wolverine" partnership to challenge Link and Pera has fermented to a level that is even hotter than the ongoing regular season.

Arenas and Jordan, although the historical status is relatively disparate, but they are both ruthless in the league.

Needless to say, Jordan, Arenas was the one who scored 60 points on Kobe Bryant at the time. And this guy's character is quite irritable, not afraid of things. That year, because his teammates lost money and reneged on their debts, Arenas drew guns against him.

Of course, this also caused his career trajectory to begin a cliff-hanging decline.

However, after that vicious incident, Arenas' image of "not easy to mess with" has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This time, two famous hooligans in the history of the league came to challenge Link and Pera, the two less experienced partners, which seemed to be bullying.

But the huge contrast between the two sides is precisely the charm of this gamble.

On the Internet, fans also laughed and said, "Arenas is ready with both hands, either to win the game or take out a gun and take away 1 million."

Pera looked indifferent, because even if he lost money, he would not be unhappy, after all, the money was planned to be donated. No matter who he or Jordan wins, that money goes to those who need it most.

But Link is not so relaxed. If he loses to Arenas, God knows what he will be mocked by Jordan and Arenas. Don't forget, Arenas and Jordan are the league's famous talker king.

This is not the end. After being ridiculed by Jordan and Arenas, Link has to accept the ridicule of various media. Over the years, Link has gained the love of many media, but at the same time, many media have hated him to the core.

If he really lost, Link couldn't believe how he would be ridiculed by the group.

It's scary just thinking about it!

"You made me miserable, Pera." Link stood helplessly on the training ground, waiting for Jordan and Arenas to arrive.

"Hey, it doesn't matter, it's entertainment. We are doing charity, no one will mock you." Pera laughed very happily, and prepared to eat melons with the Grizzlies players and coaches.

Link didn't practice much, after all, he was in the middle of the season and his state was very stable.

It's just a three-point shot.

Too much chance. If those 100 shots just didn't feel good, there's no way to get them back.

This is not the same as playing an official game. In an official game, if you feel bad, you can rely on defense, organization, and breakthroughs to continue to suppress the opponent.

But this is simply better than shooting a three-pointer.

Although Link is still the highest scoring record holder in the NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest, 100 shots and 25 shots are two different concepts.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jordan and Arenas entered the training hall of the Federal Express Arena on time.

Jordan was wearing a suit and sunglasses, looking like a boss.

Arenas, on the other hand, was wearing a white T-shirt and carrying a white messenger bag, and walked in leisurely, as if returning to his own home.

These two guys are like the gangster godfather and his thugs.

"Welcome to FedEx Arena, let's get started!" Pera opened her arms with enthusiasm.

Jordan shook hands with Pera amicably, as did Arenas. Although everyone seems to be friendly now, Link knows that with Arenas' character, this guy will never do anything like "friendship first and second match" during competition.

"Link, it's been a great season, I hope you can keep your best streak going."

After shaking hands with Pera, Jordan turned around and hugged Link gently and praised Link. But soon, Jordan changed the story.

"Certainly, later on you will try to lose for the first time of the season, hahahaha."

Link was speechless, and sure enough, even now, this guy Jordan is talking a lot.

"Hello boy, it's my honor to challenge the record holder for the highest score in the three-point contest. But I'm not easy to deal with. You have to do your best, don't let me down just because I'm an old man." Arenas also and Lin G shook hands, this guy is a familiar.

"I will, Gilbert."

"Well, but I have to remind you that you can't always beat me if you try your best."

Link was speechless again, Jordan and Arenas were a match made in heaven! They all give you a candy first, and then slap you in the face.

After the two sides greeted, Arenas put down his white messenger bag and unzipped it. Only then did Link see that the bag was full of green dollars!

"The General" domineeringly dumped stacks of dollars on the ground. This scene is simply too street, but it is in line with Arenas' style.

"It's 100,000 here, and there are still 9 packs of US dollar bills outside. Come on, Link, if you win, you won't have to pay out the money!"

Link felt like he was not playing basketball, but participating in some gang trade.

The money was just piled up around the midfield line, although $100,000 wasn't a huge amount for everyone present. But so much cash was piled up there, and the scene was quite shocking.

So everyone took out their phones and started taking pictures.

Arenas began to warm up, and Jordan confidently lighted a cigar.

How about facing Link? He never loses this bet!

Link didn't warm up, just silently watching Arenas shoot. I have to say, Arenas' shooting state is really good. He made several three-pointers in a row, almost all of them hit.

Ten minutes later, Arenas signaled to start. So, the reporters who were invited to the scene set up their cameras and began to record this long-awaited moment for the fans!

The rules of this three-point contest are very simple, there is no time limit, there is no shooting position limit. You can take 100 shots in a row in the corner if you want.

In short, the ratio is the purest hit rate.

Arenas was the first to appear. Before appearing, he winked at Link and was very confident.

"Michael, say yes. If I win, you will fight me one-on-one." After getting the basketball, Arenas did not forget to confirm their conditions with Jordan for the last time.

Jordan didn't make a sound, just waved his hand with a cigar in his mouth, as if to say, "You motherfucker stop talking nonsense, fuck me."

In terms of temperament, Jordan is really good at it.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the Grizzlies and cellphone cameras, Arenas started his three-pointer.

Arenas chose the right 45° angle, his favorite shooting spot. Opening the first ball, Arenas hit easily. Although he has been out of sight for a few years, he still has the level of a professional player.

In the first 50 goals, Arenas didn't lose a single one! Jordan slightly raised his mouth, small, bet with me?

It wasn't until the 62nd shot that Arenas finally missed the first ball.

After receiving the pass from the trainer again, the "General" rested for a few seconds and adjusted his breathing. And then, another series of continuations!

In the end, Arenas made 95 of 100 shots! It's one less than the 96-for-100 he made in front of Jordan yesterday, but it's still a terrible percentage.

After Arenas shot, the white T-shirt was soaked. Shooting 100 times in a row is uncompromising physical work.

However, the "General"'s expression was still relaxed. He smiled and was very satisfied with his hit rate.

"Haha, I almost broke my previous record of 96-100 3-pointers. I've been sitting on the couch watching TV for the past few months. As soon as the results came out, I was able to shoot 95-100 3-pointers. Now, let me go back to the couch and watch TV. Boy, you can't even handle a guy lying on the couch watching TV."

Arenas walked up to Link and said a lot of nonsense. Sure enough, although it has been out of sight for many years, Arenas' speaking style has not changed in any way. Jordan also showed a mouth full of white teeth. Although the 1 million won't go into his own pocket, Jordan enjoys the feeling of winning.

Link was a little worried about this duel at first, but after being provoked by Arenas, for some reason, Link suddenly felt that his desire to win was stronger.

"Don't worry, Gilbert. You brought so much money, I can't let you carry it back again. It's hard work. By the way, let you experience how the current superstars shoot!"

Arenas and Jordan's smiles suddenly froze. They all knew that Link was not easy to mess with, but they didn't expect to even let their seniors go!

Link stepped onto the court and received the basketball, but instead of shooting immediately, he seemed to suddenly remember something and turned his head to look at Arenas and Jordan.

"In order not to let you say that I bullied the old man, let's do it, you can choose a shooting position for me. I can accept it anywhere. Only in this way will it be fair to you."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Jordan, who was smoking a cigar, was coughing continuously. He had not been choked by other people's trash talk for many years.
