I'm king in the basket

Chapter 268 Strange and sinister

During Li Xing's absence, nothing happened in Toronto.

The NBA announced a shutdown, and the offseason, which was supposed to be a large-scale operation, was as quiet as Florida just after Hurricane Katrina devastated it.

After winning the championship, the Raptors, where the team and the players agree, were also forced to temporarily suspend contact.

The suspension of the league will not affect other teams the most, but the championship Raptors.

They did become champions, they were young.

Such a young championship-winning squad allows them to have many possibilities in the future.

As long as there are no massive injuries, they will absolutely dominate for a long time.

However, the NBA lockout has brought some questions to this.

Can they really cultivate themselves and concentrate on training during the long offseason?

The lockout in 1999 caused many players to eat a lot of fat, developed a bad habit that they never quit for a lifetime, and indirectly destroyed some teams.

Will the Raptors meet the same fate?
No one knows what will happen, but one thing is true, these young people who have just won the championship are about to face a new round of tests.

They need to endure a long offseason and wait for the end of the labor-management negotiations before they can return to the game.

When Li Xing got off the plane, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time turned their microphones to him.

"Larch, do you think both employers and employees will reach a consensus?"

"How do you think this lockout will affect you?"

"If the lockout led to the cancellation of all games this season, would you choose to play overseas?"

Li Xing didn't want to answer these questions, but he didn't mind being a magician: "I have no other plans. No matter how they quarrel, they will reach a consensus in the end. No one will have trouble with money."

Li Xing is very optimistic about the future of the NBA. The reporter does not know why he has such an idea, but it is impossible to ask.

Li Xing got into the bodyguard's special car and left Pearson Airport.

This is the most deserted time of the year in Lincoln Apartments.

During the offseason, it was supposed to be the time for Li Xing to have fun, but his lovers went out one by one for some reason.

Not to mention actors and singers.

Ingrid has just ushered in her graduation season, and she plans to open a clothing store, of course, invested by Li Xing.

Isidore needs to continue to go to school. Recently, he has a lot of homework, and Li Xing is not around, and he doesn't often go back to Lincoln's apartment.

Megan is the new Minister of Operations. Her usual work has made her so busy that she has lost her personal time. When she returns to the Lincoln apartment at night, she is also exhausted and has no energy for pleasure.

In this way, in the huge Lincoln apartment, among the witch troupe with many members, only Pantoliano accompanied Li Xing.

Li Xing originally wanted to find something for Pantoliano to do, but it turned out that she really had no other advantages.

The data of the all-seeing eye told Li Xing that Pantoliano was a very mediocre person, and he didn't have a skill worthy of continuous development except for the skill "Lucky Kiss".

Therefore, Li Xing had no choice but to bring her with him, otherwise she would be too bored in the Lincoln apartment alone.

Hearing that Li Xing had finished his global tour, Barkley also rushed over from the United States.

He didn't come alone, there was a whole program team with him.

Li Xing has signed a contract with TNT TV station, and he will be a resident guest on the one-on-one interview column hosted by Barkley.

Of course, he only signed for one year.

This year is for Barkley's face. After this year, whether to renew the contract depends on the performance of the program and TNT's "sincerity".

Today, he will record the first episode of the program.

For this, he made full preparations.

It is not easy to make the program neither too boring nor too passionate, but also to be full of topics after the program is broadcast.

This matter should not be his concern, but he has already decided.

Now that he's here, he can't treat this as a game, he's serious about it.

"Absolutely explosive!"

"Absolutely true!"

"Absolute secret!"

"This is "Past and Present", the most awesome one-on-one interview in history, I am the host, your good friend Charles Barkley!"

Barkley appeared in front of the camera and continued: "Now, invite our heavyweight guest, the best defensive player in NBA active service, MVP winner, this season's championship, Lucky "Dante" Lee!"

Li Xing appeared amidst the applause and screams of the crowd. He waved his arms and came to Barkley: "Chuck, you look a little fatter."

Buckley saw that Li Xing's hands were empty, and couldn't help asking, "Where's your script?"

"Chuck, truth is the most important thing, we don't need a fucking script." Li Xing uttered a swear word that would be wiped out with a voice mosaic.

Barkley silently looked at the staff behind him: "Lalu, remember to cut this part."

"Cut it off? This is the real me!"

Li Xing sat down in disappointment: "Chuck, let's get started. I really want to know how your show works."

"Play? Larch, we're a serious show."

Buck said while looking at the camera: "Now let's go to the first link, "The fans have something to say."

"What is this?" Li Xing asked.

"We collected some voice recordings of what your loyal fans want to say to you through the Internet." Barkley said. "bring it on."

The first recording: "Lucky, I like you very much, you are full of dominance on the field, I like every aspect of you, there is only one sentence that can express my respect for you: Fuck you, you bloody birdman! Go to hell Bar!"

"Cut it off!" Barkley yelled angrily.

What do these people eat?How dare you play any recording here?Fortunately, this is not a live broadcast!
Barkley was sweating on his forehead, and he was really worried that he would make Li Xing angry.

Miraculously, instead of being angry, Li Xing said, "Why did you cut it? This is very true. If you cut this part, what do you want fans to see?"

"I don't think they want to watch anything else." Li Xing laughed.

Buckley was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"I'll answer this guy now."

Li Xing smiled and said: "Thanks to the love, Fuck you to!"

It's over, this show is going to become a sound mosaic show.

Barkley didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing in the first issue: "Come on, let's listen to the second recording."

"I'm an avid Celtics fan. I'm there every time Dante plays in the garden. I have full respect for you, but I firmly oppose you! You bastard who doesn't know how to respect your predecessors, I curse you next season ACL damage to both legs!"

Barkley suddenly wanted to fire all the staff who collected the voice recordings of fans. Although he didn't have the power, he wanted to do it.

What kind of recordings are these?Can you still act?

Unexpectedly, Li Xing was not only not angry, but also found it funny.

This show is too fucking good to eat.

"Chuck, are you sure these people are my fans?" Li Xing asked with a smile.

The sweat on Barkley's forehead became more and more: "Haha, the types of fans have always been rich and diverse."

"Actually, this link is not bad, I like it very much."

Li Xing continued: "Now I want to answer this Celtics fan."

"I am very glad that you are full of respect for me. This shows that you have seen my performance in the garden. Even if you oppose me, you can't stop my mouth. I will still say those words."

"Why should I respect these seniors I don't know? But you still encouraged me, and I will work harder in the future against Boston."

What really surprised Barkley was not Li Xing's answer, this level of counterattack was just a piece of cake for him.

He acted too calmly.

Even if these fans adopt the method of suppressing first and then raising, he is not irritated.

He didn't get angry because of these words, but enjoyed it.

"Okay, let's get on with it."

A total of six voice recordings of fans were played, and only one was a fan of Li Xing. The other five all humiliated, cursed, and scolded Li Xing fiercely by first suppressing and then raising.

Li Xing didn't let them go, and hit back at these people on the spot.

Then there was the one-on-one interview with Barkley.

Buckley gradually realized what kind of person Li Xing was, and he didn't care much when asking questions, and asked whatever came to mind.

He doesn't ask all the questions in one go, though.

There will be twelve episodes of this program, and those heavyweight questions will be asked twelve times.

The big issue in this issue is Bosh's departure.

Li Xing described in detail the whole process of Bosh's departure and his reaction.

"I understand Chris's decision, but I will never let them succeed, this season, and next season."

"it is good."

Barkley snapped his fingers, and the lights dimmed instantly.

This is also one of the characteristics of the program group design.

When the show ended, there was no sign, Barkley just snapped his fingers, and the show was over.

"This is the end?"

Li Xing felt that it took less than half an hour to record.

"Almost, I can't take up too much of your time."

Barkley smiled and was very satisfied with tonight's program recording.

Li Xing's performance was just as he expected, and this show will definitely be popular all over the United States.

"When is the next recording?" Li Xing asked.

"Tomorrow, you will decide the time."

Barkley doesn't dare to neglect Li Xing now, this guy is the core of the show, he has to be coaxed no matter what.

This old rascal's sudden solicitude made Li Xing very disturbed, and he just wanted to get out of here quickly.

The last time I didn't agree with someone, I made a fuss about it, who knows what will happen this time?

"Then see you at the same time tomorrow."

Li Xing was about to leave when Barkley called him.

"Anything else?"

Barkley said with a smile: "Of course, this is the first day of program recording, and it's your territory. Shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"

Uh?
Just as Li Xing was about to agree, Barkley laughed like a lunatic and said, "Just kidding, of course I invited you, you decide the location!"

Hearing this, Li Xing's expression was weird and sinister.

"you sure?"
