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

Chapter 68 Facing the clamor, there is only one way to blow it up!
The next afternoon, there were still two hours before the game started.

Both teams attended the pre-match press conference.

At the press conference, a reporter tried to start a war, and asked Wizards star Westbrook specifically: "That Oriental from the Lakers compares the NBA to a playground. What do you think?"

Westbrook scratched his head and said, "What's the problem? The NBA is a playground for geniuses, a playground for mediocrity."

All the reporters on the scene were stunned.

They didn't expect that Westbrook's attitude seemed to support the Oriental.

But thinking that Westbrook has always regarded himself as "pursuing individuality", he let him go.

Of course, after they let Westbrook go, they focused on Hachimura.

"Mr. Hachimura, Liu Ming has been hailed as the number one superstar in Asian sports since the Asian Games. What do you think of this?"

The meaning of the reporter's provocation is more obvious.

Rui Hachimura's father is from Benin, Africa, and his mother is from Neon.

Before Liu Ming came back as king, he was the only remaining Asian player in the NBA and the first Asian player in history to enter the NCAA finals.

Rui Hachimura was selected by the Wizards with the 9th pick in the first round of the draft last year, and was selected to the second team of the All-Rookie Team in his rookie season.

In Asia, once known as the reality version of the slam dunk, the number one superstar in the Asian sports world in the future!

Sure enough, Rui Hachimura laughed loudly and said, "How dare a mere draft pick utter wild words? In the next game, I will teach this arrogant man on behalf of the seniors. I will let him learn what humility and humbleness are."

In fact, Rui Hachimura didn't care about the false name of the number one sports star in Asia.

Liu Ming's 9 meters can run in 81 seconds, and there is nothing wrong with Asia's No.1.

But the only thing Hachimura couldn't accept was that his nephew Ichiro Nakagawa, who went to elementary school in Nihong, begged him to send back a signed photo of Liu Ming some time ago.

This makes Rui Hachimura a little unbearable!
The national pride of the flowers of the motherland cannot be abused, so Hachimura decided to teach Liu Ming to be a man in this competition!
The reporter's eyes lit up, and then he dug in again: "When you say teach him, do you mean blowing him up on the court?"

Westbrook glanced at Rui Hachimura.

It means to remind him that this is a pit.

Hachimura naturally knew that this was a pit, but he didn't care.

At this moment, he seemed to be shouldering the hope of the revival of the Yamato nation.

He raised his head and looked at the reporters in the audience.

"Yes, I will blow him up on the court, and I will blow him up on both offense and defense!"

As soon as this statement came out, the reporters at the scene immediately became excited.

"Mr. Hachimura, can you specifically talk about how to knock him out on both ends of the floor?"

"Mr. Hachimura, what the Dongguo man said has caused public outrage. If you can teach him a lesson, we will all be grateful to you."

"Mr. Hachimura, we expect you to teach him a lesson..."

In the visiting team locker room.

The Lakers players and coaches, watching this scene, subconsciously turned their heads to look at Liu Ming.

However, Liu Ming turned a deaf ear to it, as if he didn't hear these things at all.

In fact, of course Liu Ming heard it.

Because the system's arena tasks were all inspired by this unlucky Rui Hachimura.

[Ding, the mission to participate in an away game with the team is completed, the reward skill: King of Flash]

[King of Flash: Within three seconds of giving up the projection, increase the running speed to the limit]

【Mission [-]: Destroy Hachimura! 】

In fact, what Hachimura said about "losing the draft" is true.

Back then, the Lakers invited Liu Ming to make a show across borders on the grounds of a ten-day short contract for the sake of the huge Dongguo market.

But the NBA stipulates otherwise. When a player is under 22 years old, he must participate in the draft if he wants to enter the NBA.

At first, the two sides also wanted to circumvent the regulations, so Liu Ming had the opportunity to "lose the draft" first and then sign as a free agent.

But this must not be a reason for Rui Hachimura to attack him.

"Ah, the wizards are not only interested in your talent in Hachimura, but also in the neon market behind you."

"So... let's not talk about the second brother!"

"Also beat me up?"

"Let's see who blasts who tonight."

……

When Liu Ming was warming up, he looked towards the auditorium.

I saw in the auditorium, those Chinese fan girls really came to the scene.

It seems that overseas Chinese are still very united and friendly.

The few male fans who took the tickets before probably gave up their tickets to the female compatriots.

They held up several signs.

There are a few words written on it——

Master Ming, YYDS!

Come on Mingshen, we love you forever!
Liu Ming felt a slight heat in his heart.

However, Chinese fans are only a very small number after all.

Liu Ming knew.

Including the fans at the home court of the Wizards, more fans across the United States are probably waiting to see their own jokes tonight.

Soon, the warm-up was over and the game began.

Liu Ming failed to start this time.

Because when he went to the Yatian Stadium, Xiao Hei's hand was hot.

On the Wizards side, Rui Hachimura is now a starter.

When he passed by Liu Ming's side, the provocation in his eyes was full.

Liu Ming couldn't help curling his lips, thinking: "Facing the clamor, the only option is to blow it up!"

The game lasted 5 minutes, and the Lakers frequently succeeded inside.

As for the Wizards, the outside line is also pretty good.

Hit two consecutive mid-range shots, plus a dunk.

With less than 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the score was 20:22.

The Lakers lead by 2 point.

At this time, Vogel replaced James.

Nodding to Liu Ming: "Liu, go up and find the texture."

"Okay, coach."

Liu Ming glanced at the score and was quite relieved.

Because when he played, the Lakers not only did not fall behind, but also led by 2 points.

Very stable!
At this time, as James rested, the Wizards star Bradley Beal also rested.

Rui Hachimura remained on the court.

Although this guy has not opened yet, he has scored 4 rebounds and his contribution to the team is not bad.

When Liu Ming passed by, Hachimura Rui said something.

Liu Ming guessed it should be neon words.

Because although Rui Hachimura is of mixed race, this guy grew up in Neon, and he has always stumbled and struggled to speak English.

Liu Ming didn't take it seriously, but Hachimura continued to provoke with broken English, "Dongguo people, you are still far behind!"

After hearing this, Liu Ming almost didn't laugh out loud.

This kid has watched too many anime, does he really think of himself as Takenori Akagi?
The Lakers have the ball at this point.

Caruso dribbled past halftime.

Liu Ming continued to circle around to cover.

Find an opportunity to catch the ball at the top of the arc.

Without the slightest hesitation, he made a three-point shot.

Swish!
The first shot is hollow into the net.

The score between the two sides was 20:25.

Looking back, I saw Rui Hachimura roaring to the sky: "Ah——"

Because of this guy's excitement, the blue veins on his neck were all exposed.

"MD, brainless!"

Liu Ming made a gesture of covering his eyes.

It's really a bit unbearable to watch.

Looking back, the Wizards attacked.

Rui Hachimura grabbed the inside line, received a pass from his teammate, and chose to play post-up.

Due to his height advantage, he made a hook, and the basketball flew towards the basket.

Then Rui Hachimura turned his head without looking at it.

He raised his arms towards Liu Ming, humming.

The provocative meaning is particularly obvious!

The current dj dragged out the sound and shouted loudly: "2 points, from Hachimura 塁—oh, no entry!"

Liu Ming stood in Zhan Huang's old position and successfully picked up a backcourt rebound.

Immediately afterwards, he threw it out to give his teammates a fast break.

The score is 20:27!

At the end of the first quarter, Rui Hachimura made zero shots from three shots due to his cold hands.

After Bill went off the field, the team lost its real core.

So the Wizards' offense played poorly.

Conversely, Liu Ming's statistics are pretty good.

3 points, 1 assists, 1 rebounds.

Liu Ming played for less than 2 minutes, and the Wizards were already 7 points behind at home.
