Chapter 20 Fighting the Emperor

The Timberwolves' home court atmosphere has always been relatively hot in the NBA, but today, the target center, which accommodates more than 1 people, is a little quiet, and the boos from time to time are also a little weak. No. 23.

Little Emperor - LeBron James!
This is an all-round player, his strength is outstanding even in the interior, his speed is unique even among defenders, and his abnormal jumping, excellent passing, and even his own exclusive skills - Xiao The Emperor's Choice: In the final stalemate stage of the game, the little Emperor James will make a choice, whether to assist his teammates to defeat the enemy, or to end the game by himself, but no matter which choice, the success rate will increase by 20.00%!
Zheng Ke has never felt so powerless before, and this is just the end of the first quarter, but Zheng Ke seems to have exhausted all his strength, and he can't stop the Cavaliers' overwhelming attack even though he has used all [-] martial arts.

33 to 19, the score in the first quarter, this is also a blow to the Timberwolves by the Cavaliers at home!
God, this is my first start, and it ended up like this.Zheng Ke picked up a towel to cover his head after the break, so as to block the surrounding eyes a little bit. He felt that the surrounding eyes were full of contempt and distrust.

Suddenly, the towel was lifted by a big hand, the strong light stimulated Zheng Ke's eyes, and he squinted his eyes subconsciously.

"I think you seem to lack a little confidence." Under the light, a huge figure stood in front of Zheng Ke.

"General Manager?" Zheng Ke was surprised, but McHale rarely came directly to the bench.In fact, not only McHale, most general managers in the NBA will not directly participate in the communication with the players, because this is considered a matter for the head coach.But it's different in the Timberwolves. As a rookie head coach, Whitman has always turned a blind eye to McHale's involvement in team affairs.

McHale sat down beside Zheng Ke: "Just chat."

"I saw the game just now. In fact, you haven't done your best yet." McHale said straight to the point.

Zheng Ke's heart was in a state of panic at this time. You must know that he also knew about Qin Yue going to negotiate the contract with McHale. He knew that the two of them had talked for a long time. The rhythm of frying Lao Tzu?
Unexpectedly, McHale kept silent about the contract. He continued to comment on Zheng Ke's performance: "James is very good, and your defense is also good, but you have not played to your greatest advantage. You know your greatest advantage is what?"

Zheng Ke was gradually infected by McHale's words, and his eyes gradually lit up. Unexpectedly, McHale suddenly let Zheng Ke guess by himself.Ten thousand mud horses galloped past in Zheng Ke's mind, but he showed a taught expression on his face: "Manager, please speak clearly."

"It's very simple," McHale paused, and then said: "Trash talk"

Seeing Zheng Ke's sudden realization, McHale showed a teachable expression, and he continued: "James is not invincible, as long as you make him lose his mind, and then defend against breakthroughs and shots, the victory is at your fingertips. After all, the Cavaliers are single. Nuclear. I know, you have a magic that makes superstars lose their minds, why don't you use it more?"

"This..." Zheng Ke is a little speechless, this is to turn Lao Tzu into a public enemy, but then again, can trash talk be used as a weapon?James is such a calm person, will he be fooled?However, the general manager of the team personally came to impart experience, Zheng Ke didn't dare not accept it, he kept saying yes.

McHale pretended to cough and said, "Actually, I came here mainly for another matter."

Zheng Ke's expression froze, the main event is coming!
McHale said: "Your agent is too powerful. We have negotiated for a long time. It is really impossible to set a precedent for jersey sales. As for the portrait rights, the team and you each hold 50.00%, and the contract has also been converted to a guaranteed two-year period. Contract, there are bonuses for completing various honors during the season, that's it, work hard, lad!"

After finishing speaking, he patted Zheng Ke on the shoulder and left the bench.

Since McHale and Zheng Ke belonged to the underground party's meeting-style communication, everyone did not hear their exchange. They only saw McHale come over and lift the towel covering Zheng Ke's head, and then pat Zheng Ke on the shoulder after communicating for a while and left.It looked as if he was here to comfort Zheng Ke. He had long heard that Zheng Ke was selected by the general manager in person at the draft, and the close relationship between the two seemed self-evident.This makes everyone a little envious and jealous of Zheng Ke, the general manager, the team's top management, if you get on this line, it's going to be like wind and rain
As the saying goes, people are refreshed on happy occasions. Zheng Ke, who just heard the good news, immediately swept away the depression of being blown up in the first quarter, and he will go to the court to meet the emperor!
Of course, Whitman saw the change in Zheng Ke's expression, and he thought to himself that the general manager was more powerful, and he could mobilize a person's morale with just a few words.Thinking of this, he immediately waved to Zheng Ke, indicating that he was ready to play.

"Drip~~The Timberwolves request a substitution."

Standing beside the little emperor, Zheng Ke prepared his plan to detonate the little emperor, he was ready to die.

"I really don't understand, you have such a bad defense, why did your head coach put you up?" James immediately sprayed a trash talk when he found out that the opponent he had fought with him for a long time in the first quarter came up.

Zheng Ke was overjoyed. Originally, Zheng Ke and James hadn't spoken to each other in the first quarter. He didn't know how to pry James' thick lips open. As a result, as soon as Zheng Ke played here, Lao Zhan sprayed a trash talk. Even God is blessing Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke quickly replied: "Your defense is so good, you have been swept away by others."

James raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

But Zheng Ke opened up the chatter box, and he fired a string of trash talk towards James: "I've never seen a player like you, a bunch of All-Stars were forced to be useless by you, and the finals were eliminated." It’s very sweeping, it’s too face-saving!”

"boom!"

James felt that the fire in his heart was completely ignited. No clown had ever dared to provoke him like this, never!He decided to teach this desperate second-round pick an unforgettable lesson.

After he got the ball, he decisively let his teammates pull away.As we all know, James' favorite offensive starting point is the top of the three-point arc. After the Cavaliers opened up space, James did not give Zheng Ke a chance to continue making noise.It's a simple change of direction with the left hand for the right hand, and then speed up, throwing off Zheng Ke by a position.

According to the usual script, James should easily rush in in three big steps, and then complete a stunning dunk.

But today was different. Although Zheng Ke was one position behind James, Zheng Ke did not give up his defense. He broke out with all his strength, stretched out his pair of big arms, and ruthlessly pulled James down who was already flying in the air.James was pulled by him, lost his balance in the air, and was buckled on the neck of the basket. When he fell to the ground, he staggered and staggered into the reporter crowd with the two of them.

James became angry. He quickly got up from a group of reporters, pushed Zheng Ke hard, and roared: "Do you want to die, kid!"

Zheng Ke had already regretted this impulsive foul, but James was furious and ran to push himself.He was not surprised but pleased. As a smart and excellent actor, Zheng Ke knew the role he should play at this moment. Following James' force, he staggered a few steps and then sat on the ground with his mouth screaming like killing a pig. Call: "Ah~~~"

Now, the referee who was going to judge Zheng Ke to play for a malicious foul was dumbfounded.
