The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 8 The Legend Begins Here

Su Mai nodded. Of course, he didn't encourage Tu Man to go out and beat people, but he was worried that Tu Man was afraid of fouls and his hands were bound, so it would be difficult to handle. It is not enough to play well in the summer league. You have to be amazing enough. OK!
Su Maite didn't know, how could Tu Man not let go?

The summer league also has honors. At the end of five games, the team with the best record will be selected to become the champion. The player with the best statistics will be awarded the "Summer League MVP", and the best rookie will be awarded the "Summer League Rookie of the Year". A "Summer League Team of the Year" will be selected.

Tu Man salivated at this!

Because, these three honor systems are accredited!

Although the degree of recognition is relatively reluctant, it can be seen from the ranking on the honor wall:
These three honors are ranked second, third, and fourth from the bottom, just above the "East/Western Player of the Week", which shows how poor the system thinks this summer league is...

It can be exchanged for water, so let’s replace the injured femur first!
In the past half a month, relying on the addition of golden calves, Tu Man has dunked all the baskets that he hadn't dunked in the past ten years.

But that was in the training hall, not fun!
Now that there are actual battles to fight and honors to win, why doesn't Tu Man beat his opponent to death?
The Rockets' coach is R.J. Adelman, the eldest son of the current head coach Rick Adelman, and an assistant coach of the Rockets.

Their starting lineup is:

Point Guard: Ish Smith
Shooting guard: Jermaine Taylor
Small Forward: Chase Budinger

Power Forward: Marty Lenning
Center: Jordan Hill

Except for Marty Lenning, everyone else has a contract. Brother Sharp and Budinger are college teammates. In terms of tacit understanding, strength on paper and rationality of the lineup, they are better than the Suns' "Little Four" Too much!

Sure enough, as soon as the lineups of the two sides appeared, the commentary seat happily announced:

The Rockets have won!
Tu Man glanced at the commentary booth, sneered in his heart and said:

"Ignorant humans, you know nothing about the power you are about to face!"

The game starts soon.

Tuman and the sharp brother Jordan Hill stand in the middle circle to jump the ball. Hill is slightly taller, but he is almost as thin as Tuman.
"Boy, I want to blow you up!"

Tu Man narrowed his eyes, and replied lightly:

"As the No. [-] pick in the first round last year, you didn't even get a role player in the regular rotation. You were reduced to playing in the summer league. Who gave you the confidence to pretend to be aggressive here?"

Which pot is this not open to mention?

Jordan Hill got angry, took a big gulp of salt soda, and opened his mouth to speak nonsense, but the referee's whistle blew, and at the same time he threw the basketball high...

Tu Man took the lead in jumping, and his bullet speed was very fast. By the time Jordan Hill jumped up in a panic, Tu Man had reached the commanding height and slapped the basketball backward.

This is the summer league, the unguaranteed players are like wolves, and the guaranteed players are also hungry. When they play, they can't wait for everyone to be shooting guards. Do you remember the tactics?
Therefore, when Tu Man took the ball over, Zabian Dodell didn't have the consciousness to reciprocate. As a point guard, he didn't even look at his teammates, and directly dribbled the ball to the basket and killed him!
Jermaine Taylor and Ismail Smith outflanked one from the left and the other from the right. Tu Man didn't do anything to wait, and just ran away as soon as he landed.

What if the goods can't be invested?

Dodell originally wanted to dunk, but the two chasing soldiers behind him were too tight, and he had no room to take off, so he ended the performance hastily with a small throw.

The shot was too hasty and didn't even reach the basket.

Jermaine Taylor withdrew his raised palms, stopped in his tracks, raised his head to grab a rebound, and cursed nonchalantly:
"Eggless scum!"

Before the words fell, I felt a gust of wind blowing from behind, and Ismael Smith beside me yelled in horror:
"Jermaine, be careful!"

"boom……"

Jermaine Taylor flew forward in all directions as if being kicked by Optimus Prime. From the corner of his eyes, he vaguely saw a figure hanging from the basket...

Dodell was stunned. Isn't this man jumping the ball? When did he fly over?
Unlike the other three Suns players on the field, Dodell was "lucky" to avoid Tuman's "dimension reduction strike" trial training. He didn't know how brutal this Chinese center was!

Tu Man jumped off the basket, thinking:

"It seems that I'm a half fairy, this bastard really didn't invest in it!"

With a slight smile, he walked forward and extended his palm to Dodell:
"Come on, man, give me a five!"

Dodell smiled awkwardly, and reluctantly stretched out his palm to pat Tu Man, thinking:

"This guy, it's like I threw a second pass!"

Jermaine Taylor climbed up from the bottom line with a dazed expression. He really wanted to swear at the beginning of F and push the yellow man again.

But there was no one in front of him, and Tu Man had already retreated quickly.

The game has just started, but he has already entered the state, chasing the basketball crazily, that is his life!
The Rockets made a fast start from the bottom line, Ismael Smith and Jermaine Taylor poured the ball back to each other, Chase Budinger also followed suit, and the formation advanced rapidly.

According to Adelman Jr.'s arrangement, they are going to use their speed advantage to break through the clumsy small and big four lineup of the Suns...

But where is Tu Man so bulky?
He is faster than Dodell, since he changed to a golden calf, he feels that his running speed is a bit faster——

I can now chase the defender!
Jordan Hill has already rushed into the paint, running, raising his arms for the ball, and his good brother Chase Budinger directly landed in the corner, all good positions.

Ismael Smith is also this year's undrafted pick. He has played at Wake Forest University for four full years. Like senior Chris Paul, he is a traditional point guard who puts the ball first. He is not like Dodell on the opposite side. Hunger does not choose food.

With a flick of the wrist, the basketball drew a wonderful arc and flew straight to the basket.

If nothing else, it's going to be a nice lob!

However, Tu Man came...

As soon as Ismael Smith's pass was shot, Tu Man shot into the three-point line like an arrow. Just as the basketball floated over Jordan Hill's head, Tu Man was already gliding behind him!

The Rockets players were all in a hurry, shouting almost at the same time:
"Watch out, Jordan!"

"Notice!"

"There is someone behind..."

But Jordan Hill only had the basket in his eyes at this time, he didn't hear anything, he just felt the basketball flying over his head with the wind, but today's wind is a bit stronger?

Never mind, maybe the air conditioner in the arena is broken!
Jordan Hill grabbed the basketball with both hands, roared, raised the basketball high, and glided towards the basket...

Next moment:
"boom……"

Jordan Hill's hands hit the rim hard!

But what about the ball?
