Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 401 Let's Pay Some Hush Money
The U.S. team fought back. Thunder rookie Ingram wanted to rush in from the right, but was blocked by No. [-] pick Simmons as soon as he reached the high post.

Simmons is 20kg heavier than Ingram and has been stronger for several laps.

Looking at Simmons' expression, he seemed to be saying: Here you go, little brother?

Ingram held the ball in his right hand and hit it hard with his shoulder a few times. Simmons' body was like a wall to him.

Ingram almost bumped himself into a somersault, but Simmons remained motionless, the difference in strength between the two was too great.

There was not enough time to attack, Ingram had to jump up and shoot, the landing point missed, and the rebound was picked up by Porzingis.

Porzingis flicked his long arm, and the basketball flew forward with the sound of the wind.

Two figures came out, and Ingram and Simmons were the first to react, and they started running towards the backcourt of the US team at the same time.

At this time, the advantage of the marathon runner appeared. Ingram was two positions ahead of Simmons, intercepted the ball steadily, then slammed on the brakes, turned and ran back.

Simmons leaned down to grab a handful and missed it. Ingram was quicker than him.

Simmons could only keep his head down and continue chasing, but obviously, the 76ers didn't arrange enough long-distance running training for Simmons, so they couldn't catch up.

Ingram tucked the ball straight to Devin Booker three steps from the top of the key.

Devin Booker adjusted his breathing and made a lightning shot.

Swish!
Three points into the network.

Yuan Qingshan was stunned, this scene was no longer familiar.

Almost two years ago, in the NCAA Tournament, Devin Booker made countless three-pointers like this.

After the goal was scored, Devin Booker was still expressionless and always looked cool, but in New Orleans, there was no "Booker Support Club" at the University of Kentucky.

"Isn't this kid your teammate, quite accurate."

Davis with thick eyebrows praised Devin Booker.

Yuan Qingshan nodded: "If we didn't have German, we wouldn't be able to make it through March Madness."

Davis seems to have also been brought back memories. Among his teammates at that time, only McGee was still in the NBA. He did not come today.

Davis looked back at the Kentucky Gang and laughed, Wall and Cousins ​​fell asleep with their heads drooping.

He yelled at Yuan Qingshan, and Yuan Qingshan was also amused.

Everyone knows that the All-Star Game is an exhibition game, a show.

This was even more so in the rookie game. Halfway through the schedule, both sides scored 70 points, which is definitely a high score. It is estimated that the whole game can break 150 points.

During the holiday break, the New Orleans Pelicans arranged a lot of activities, including performances and interactions. The fans were satisfied. It is not easy for a small ball market to be so lively and high.

A reporter came to interview the host thick-browed Davis. Davis answered the questions in an official tone, and Yuan Qingshan thought it was funny.

The reporter asked: "We all know you love New Orleans, you love the Pelicans, if, I mean, if you had to leave, which team would you choose to join?"

Davis laughed: "Can the Golden State Warriors do it?"

The reporter laughed: "Of course it's not allowed, the NBA can't have a finale yet."

Davis said seriously this time: "Los Angeles, Lakers."

The reporter looked at Yuan Qingshan and said: "You are being polite, you and Yuan Qingshan are alumni, so you want to go to the Lakers to find him and Towns?"

Davis shook his head: "No, I like Los Angeles. I have a house in Beverly Hills."

The reporter said to the camera: "Did you hear that, Mr. Ervin Johnson, act quickly."

After the reporter finished speaking, he laughed with Davis and Yuan Qingshan, and everyone took it as a joke.

In addition to the Kentucky Gang, some stars also came to watch the rookie game, such as Westbrook who came to cheer for the younger brother.

Tonight he wore a pink baseball shirt over a sky blue tights, green checked pants and orange leather shoes.

Of course, there are also the iconic red-rimmed glasses, in short, this body is very fashionable.

Yuan Qingshan walked over to say hello to Westbrook, and Davis followed.

Westbrook has now classified Yuan Qingshan as a good friend, and embraces him warmly.

"Yuan Qingshan, you must be looking for me to arrange an interview for your reporter girlfriend?" Westbrook joked.

Yuan Qingshan nodded vigorously: "I will take it as if you have agreed."

Westbrook shook his hand: "No problem, I promise you."

Yuan Qingshan hugged him and patted his shoulder.

Davis said: "When did you get so close? I heard Towns say that last summer league, when you were in Las Vegas, you almost got into a fight."

Yuan Qingshan explained: "It's because a few days ago..."

"Qingshan, we're already fine, aren't we?" Wei Shao hurriedly covered Yuan Qingshan's mouth to prevent him from continuing.

Then he kept giving Yuan Qingshan winks.

What a joke, it would be embarrassing if the news of getting himself drunk for Durant's departure got out.

Yuan Qingshan raised his eyebrows and whispered, "As a hush money, you have to give Rachel an exclusive interview, and you cannot agree to other media."

Westbrook paused for a second and said, "It's okay if you're ruthless."

Several people were chatting, and a familiar voice came from beside them: "Yuan Qingshan!"

Yuan Qingshan and the others looked in that direction at the same time, and it turned out to be Stephen Curry.

Yuan Qingshan turned around, and was greeted by Curry's big bear hug.

"How are you doing recently, are you okay?" Curry asked Yuan Qingshan.

Yuan Qingshan nodded: "I'm fine, how about you, are you still bothered by those shitty things?"

Curry shook his head: "It's much better since I talked to you last time. People have to be more open-minded, so that they can live easily."

Yuan Qingshan liked it.

Davis and Westbrook greeted Curry respectively. Curry is pure and kind, and has always been very popular.

"Did you come by yourself?" Yuan Qingshan asked.

"No." Curry said as he turned around, "I'm here with Kevin, Kevin?"

He turned around, where is Kevin Durant?

After hearing the name, Westbrook's expression became obviously unnatural, he nodded slightly and left.

Yuan Qingshan saw not far away, Durant's figure had just disappeared among the fans.

The grievances in the hearts of the Thunder couple may never be resolved.

After chatting for a while, the game started again.

The two teams began to change players more frequently. The coaches understood the truth and knew that this kind of game should be evenly distributed, so that everyone can show their faces and play a few good shots.

At the end of the game, the score was really high, 160 to 154, and the international team finally won the game.

Simmons scored 34 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, a well-deserved MVP.

Yuan Qingshan thought it was a bit funny, Simmons' template was indeed LeBron - only one rebound and no triple-double - James.

The league has another star who is killing obsessive-compulsive disorder.

布克拿到40分4助攻1篮板，穆雷拿到23分5助攻2篮板，布罗格登18分11助攻。

These data are similar to what Yuan Qingshan had expected before, except that he didn't expect Simmons' quasi-triple-double.

Watching Simmons play really feels like James.

In time, this guy must also be a superstar.
