Not only was Jaime dumbfounded, everyone in the program team was dumbfounded as well.
Everyone in the live broadcast room was also in a blur.
“What? It’s an authentic copy?”
“The market estimates it at one billion. The market price can exceed one and a half billion, and it’s something that can only be found by chance.”
“Oh my God, could it be that this old man is really the Lynn that the town is talking about? Is he over a hundred years old?”
“It’s over, it’s over.”
“Jaime is done for. It’s a billion dollars. Hahaha, pay for it.”
“Don’t be so sarcastic. Jaime is very rich. He’s worth tens of millions a year.”
“Tens of millions. Do the math. If you don’t eat or drink, how many years would it take to earn a billion?”
Meanwhile, Jaime from the program team was on the verge of tears.
He could not believe that it was real.
He quickly ran to Morey and said, “Mr. Morey, take a good look. This isn’t real, right?”
Morey looked at Jaime angrily and said, “Jaime, although you can rule the basketball world, please don’t question my professionalism. You can also ask another expert appraiser to see if this is real.”
Jaime stood on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.
Master Bei held the painting in his hand like a nuclear bomb. ‘Man and Tiger’ was actually worth 500 million. Giving it away just like that, was it not too extravagant?
Megan was even more dumbfounded. She was licking her lips and trying to sell her looks earlier. She actually wanted to exchange it for a painting. Such an expensive painting, if she owned it herself, no matter what others did, she would not give it away.
Everyone looked at Jaime pitifully.
Jaime could not help but cry as he walked up to Lynn and said, “Senior, it’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. I’ll accompany you, I’ll accompany you. Even if it costs me my basketball life, I’ll accompany you.”
Jaime’s words won the favor of the netizens in the live broadcast room.
At the same time, it also won Lynn’s favor.
Lynn glanced at him and said, “A good child who knows his mistakes and wants to change. But please change your arrogant attitude in the future.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely change it.”
“Although this painting isn’t worth much to me, it’s still mine. It wouldn’t be good if it was destroyed.”
Jaime did not say anything.
Master Morey, who was in front of the painting, suddenly jumped up and said, “What? Senior, this painting was destroyed by Jaime?”
The old man walked in front of Jaime and grabbed his clothes and said, “Do you know what you destroyed? You destroyed the common heritage of mankind! You actually destroyed the culture of mankind? Your entire basketball career might not even be as valuable as this painting. You actually destroyed such a thing.”
The old man was so anxious that he almost cried.
However, Lynn waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing. Since you’re here, you’re just guests and it’s just a painting.
“Since you can’t afford it, I wouldn’t want you to pay for it. But since you’ve become a brat, you have to pay a price.”
Everyone shuddered.
Price?
What price could be exchanged for one billion?
You wouldn’t want one hand from Jaime, would you?
If he really wanted one hand, it would be considered to have ruined Jaime’s basketball career for real.
Obviously, Jaime had also thought of something, and his expression was a little ugly.
The people in the live broadcast room held their breaths.
The program had only been on for one day, and Jaime had already caused such a huge disaster.
This was going to be the end of the program.
Everyone looked at Lynn nervously.
This legendary person.
Lynn said calmly, “I heard that you play basketball pretty well. I haven’t exercised my muscles for a long time. This basketball thing is pretty interesting. Why don’t you teach me how to play basketball and let today’s matter go?”
Jaime was stunned.
Everyone could not believe their ears.
Teaching basketball to offset one billion was a little crazy.
What kind of person was this? This was too extravagant.
After coming back to his senses, Jaime hurriedly nodded and said, “Alright, alright, senior. Whatever you say.”
“Ah, even though I really like Jaime, why do I feel like Jaime is taking advantage of him?”
“Yeah, he’s taking advantage of him. Teaching an old man basketball once can offset one billion. Isn’t he being too cheap?”
The appearance of the two experts made everyone realize that every painting hanging on the wall of this dilapidated house might be priceless.
There were more than 20 paintings on the wall.
The celebrities present were all experienced, but they suddenly became nervous.
Perhaps if they broke a teacup here, they would be forced to sell their underwear.
Lynn stretched his muscles.
“Crackle, crackle.”
Everyone heard the sound of Lynn’s joints.
“Oh my God, did the old man just flashed his waist? Why does the sound of his bones sound a little scary? Can such a body play basketball?”
Jaime also became nervous.
Basketball was a very intense sport. Could the old man’s body do it?
He made up his mind to be careful with him later on.
Everyone went out of the room.
Lynn then led them into the backyard.
The backyard was empty. There was not only a basketball court but also a football field.
Lynn smiled slightly and said, “Because of the lack of materials, I used wood to make the basket and the frame of the backboard. The equipment is not complete. It is not as good as your stadium.”
Jaime did not dare to even fart, but when he saw the backboard that was made of wood, he knew that it was not sturdy.
“Usually, I also play sports, but I don’t have enough people, so I can only enjoy playing it by myself.”
As Lynn spoke, he arrived at the space under the backboard and took out a basketball. He then threw it to Jaime.
“Ah, I’m looking forward to seeing Jaime’s godly basketball skills in such a program.”
“Yeah, I just don’t know how he is going to teach an old man.”
As Jaime held the basketball, he immediately became excited.
The basketball seemed to grow in his hands.
He held the basketball and tried to shoot two balls.
“Swish, swish.”
He hit two three-pointers accurately.
This caused many fans in the live broadcast room to scream, “Wow, so cool.”
“Sir, this basketball is not something that can be mastered with one move and one breath. So I’ll teach you some basic dribbling skills,” said Jaime.
At this moment, Master Morey also came to the backboard and leaned against the wooden post.
His nose moved slightly and he frowned. He then looked at the post on his shoulder. He then said, “Ms. Megan, can you bring me my magnifying glass?”
He seemed to have discovered something.
At the same time, Jaime began to show off his outstanding basketball skills.
He moved left and right, feigned movements, flew past people, blocked shots, and dunked the ball.
For a moment, his performance was so great that he completely forgot that he was teaching an old man basketball skills.
It was a live broadcast and many people began to curse.
“F*ck, isn’t it too much to teach an old man basketball like this?”
“If he can learn this, that would be amazing.”
“Yeah, is Jaime congratulating himself, or is he embarrassing the old man?”
Meanwhile, Lynn kept staring at Jaime’s movements. He nodded from time to time.
Jaime threw the basketball to the old man. He swore that he did not do it on purpose.
The basketball did not change direction, and it went straight for Lynn’s face.
