Kings of the Game: Getting Back to the Game, Beginning with the NBA

Chapter 35 I am a Track and Field Athlete
The Lakers won this game.

When the final whistle sounded.

The Lakers players surrounded Liu Ming to celebrate.

Salvation and revenge are as happy as New Year's Eve.

at the same time.

A wonderful system prompt sounded in Liu Ming's mind.

[Ding, the field mission is completed, free skill points +1]

[Team mission: Participate in an away game with the team! 】

James' data in this field, 31 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds.

Another quasi-triple pair of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He is the cornerstone of the team.

Whether the team wins or loses, the Lakers must have his stats to back them up.

And the biggest hero of the Lakers in this game is none other than Liu Ming.

26 minute on stage.

Scored 36 points.

Among them, he made 13 of 10 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws.

Efficiency is terrifying.

Especially shooting from beyond the arc.

He's still proving that he's a solid [-]-point shooter.

After the game, Paul did not come to shake hands with the Lakers players.

He turned around directly and walked towards the player tunnel.

Didn't even say goodbye to his good brother James.

Can understand.

He is a very competitive player.

Now that they were defeated by a big score, he was naturally not in the mood to shake hands.

I lost to you by 30 points, and you asked me to shake your hand and congratulate you?
Sorry, I can not do it!

At the press conference after the game, Liu Ming did not refuse this time.

After tidying up, he followed the boss James to the scene.

As Liu Ming and James walked in, the cameras of the reporters clicked.

As a traditional tycoon, the Lakers have received a lot of attention in a big city like Los Angeles.

So here, as long as you can perform well, you don't have to worry about lack of exposure.

After the two sat down, reporters began to ask questions.

As the leader of the team, James, who has been a perennial topic in the NBA, was naturally asked first.

But when he was asked the fifth question about Liu Ming, James couldn't help but joked: "If you want to ask questions about Liu Ming, why don't you just ask him directly? He's right next to me."

In fact, these reporters are all full of bad water.

In order to win attention and become popular, I can do anything without a lower limit.

First interview with James, of course, is to attract readers to read as a headline party.

Finally, these reporters asked James about the same.

A beautiful reporter began to ask Liu Ming questions.

It's just that the problem was very sharp when it came up, and it was almost face-to-face sowing dissension.

"Liu Ming, are you disappointed with LeBron James' performance on the court?"

James frowned, and turned to look at Liu Ming.

Liu Ming was taken aback for a moment, then turned the microphone, "Next."

"Are you sleepwalking, we are the winners of this game."

"I think, maybe you should save this question for Paul and Booker of the Suns."

The reporters froze for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Liu Ming pissed off the beautiful reporter, and teased his old enemy Sun, which immediately aroused applause from the audience.

However, there are still several reporters who are not convinced.

Especially a male reporter in a suit next to the beautiful reporter.

He saw the female reporter bowed her head, as if she wanted to stand up for the female reporter.

He raised his hand and asked, "Liu, it is said that you Dongguo people think that everything in your country is good."

Liu Ming saw that this reporter in a suit was not a good person.

But he didn't hesitate at all, and asked instead: "Could it be that you Americans think that there is nothing wrong with America? When is it wrong to love your own country?"

Seeing Liu Ming's hook, the reporter had a tricky smile on his face.

"Since you are so patriotic and think everything is good in your country, why don't you play in the CBA instead of playing in the NBA?"

These words were obviously intended to slap Liu Ming in the face.

The rest of the reporters at the scene fell silent again.

This question is definitely a bad one.

If you change a player, you may leave the game on the spot.

And the beautiful reporter who bowed his head raised his head at this time.

Yes.

Why didn't I think of this question just now?
If you thought of this question just now, you wouldn't be embarrassed.

James was slightly worried and glanced at Liu Ming.

But Liu Ming didn't seem to have any anger on his face.

Instead, with a hint of a smile, "I am a track and field athlete, where is playing ball not for fun?"

As soon as these words came out, the place fell silent.

Yes!

Liu Ming is a professional track and field athlete, playing across borders is just his hobby.

The NBA, which ordinary players regard as a sacred place, is not a large playground for him!

The problem is, people are here to play.

Still playing so well, two superb performances!
This self-defeating topic cannot continue.

Continuing on will only embarrass everyone.

Immediately afterwards, another reporter asked questions.

"Liu Ming, after the ten-day contract expires, will you stay with the Lakers?"

Liu Ming thought for a while, "Maybe, maybe not."

The reporter's eyes lit up, "It's because the Lakers' asking price is inappropriate. You want to sell it for a maximum salary in other teams?"

Liu Ming smiled, "Because I am waiting for my motherland to be recruited."

The reporter chased after him and said, "The national team of the Dongguo men's basketball team? But this does not conflict with you staying with the Lakers to play."

Liu Ming shook his head, "It's a mistake. I'm a professional track and field athlete who runs [-] meters. Playing basketball is just my hobby. How can I neglect my main business."

The reporter was sharp again, "But I heard that Dongguo Athletics has given up recruiting you."

Liu Ming glanced at the reporter, and then said word by word.

"If the motherland doesn't recruit, can I not be ready at all times?"

In a different place, this sentence is more like a joke about shouting slogans and pretending to be empty.

But no one laughed out loud at the scene, and no one even made a sound.

Because Liu Ming's gaze is so firm.

His expression was so determined.

His words are so hard!
It sounds like he's not joking.

Refuse the sugar-coated shells of fame and fortune, and always wait for the call of the motherland.

What a piece of long-distance love, serve the heart of the country with fist and fist!

loyalty.

There is no doubt that it is the most valuable character of Dongguo people, bar none!

After Liu Ming finished speaking, he scanned the reporters again.

Under his gaze, none of these reporters dared to look at him.

They lowered their heads unconsciously.

Only then did Liu Ming say: "Since no one asked any more questions, today's press conference is over."

He got up and left the venue proudly.

James came back to his senses and looked at the reporters.

He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just moved his lips and said nothing.

Also got up and left.

When walking into the corridor, James called to stop Liu Ming, "Liu."

Liu Ming turned around and asked, "What's the matter, boss?"

James asked: "You really don't plan to stay with the Lakers and play alongside me?"

Liu Ming shook his head, "Boss, I have already expressed my opinion to General Manager Pelinka. As long as it doesn't affect my running of track and field, the Lakers are recruited, and I will report back to the team anytime and anywhere."

James' mouth moved.

But in the end, he just patted Liu Ming on the back.

For a person who is loyal to the motherland, does loyalty to the team and teammates need to be verified!
