I'm king in the basket

Chapter 435
"Eat, Larch, why don't you eat?"

Li Xing saw him wiping the dry saliva around his mouth with this hand just now, and there was no guarantee that he touched something weird last night.

As far as the integrity of the people in the police station is concerned, Li Xing does not have any hope for them. It is impossible for his mother to help them wash their hands after arresting them.

Therefore, this noodle cake was not only stained with Stephenson's earwax, but now it was also stained with all kinds of dirty things that Li Xing couldn't explain with his knowledge.

"Eat, why don't you eat?" Barnes asked.

"I'm full." Li Xing thought it was a perfect excuse.

Barnes didn't believe it at all: "Full? Don't others know your appetite and I don't know? Come on, you're welcome."

Li Xing watched the pile of bacteria getting closer and closer to him, he didn't dare to refuse, and he didn't want to force himself to take the poison.

He walked between being poisoned and being beaten.

"Why don't you eat?" Barnes' eyes became subtle, "Oh, I forgot, you have a cleanliness."

"Thank you for understanding?" Li Xing swept Barnes's face with his moved eyes.

Then, he discovered that it wasn't understanding, it was anger.

Barnes looked angry: "You woke me up from my dream, now I'm in a good mood and you think I'm dirty after breakfast? Are you looking for death?"

Li Xing felt that he had a lot to say.

You bastard, I brought all these things, okay?Don't you know that I am going to eat alone?Who told you to eat it?Why don't you treat me to dinner?
I rely on!

Just from Li Xing's expression, it is absolutely impossible to tell what kind of motherhood he has experienced in his heart. In the end, he was forced by Barnes' coercion, and took over the bread that was full of bacteria in his eyes.

"That's about the same, eat!"

"what?"

Li Xing originally wanted to take it over and let it go as a show, but he didn't expect that Barnes really wanted him to eat it.

This posture, it seems that you are not joking.

"eat!"

Barnes stared at Li Xing, and he would not stop until he finished eating.

"what?"

"Don't play dumb for me, eat, or you will dislike me!" Barnes said domineeringly.

Stephenson was still spreading the fan flames: "Larch, eat, why don't you eat it? It's just a bread."

Li Xing stared at the white bread.

It is so white and beautiful, one bite and one thinks of a second bite, but when Stephenson wiped his eye feces on it, to Li Xing, it was the most terrible poison ever.

"eat!"

"eat!"

"eat!"

Li Xing's heart was full of humiliation. He didn't expect to eat this kind of thing. What's wrong with him?Is there anything wrong with doing good?

If someone causes trouble again in the future, he will kill him and ignore it.

Li Xing's eyes were hot, and he believed that if he took this bite, he would cry.

Li Xing closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and took a bite.

Just at this time, Dai Linsi was carrying two plates of freshly made bread, and Pantoliano was behind him bringing drinks.

Seeing the two fresh pancakes in Dai Linsi's hand, Li Xing shed tears of humiliation.

"Larch, why are you crying?"

"Kate, you are so virtuous, Larch was moved and cried." Barnes laughed.

"Is this enough?" Pantoliano asked.

"Enough, enough, thank you, it's too much trouble for you." Barnes became polite again at this moment.

Li Xing only took a bite, and then he made full use of his shooting skills to accurately throw the bread into the trash can a few meters away.

"Larch, you're wasting food." Barnes sat and chattered.

Li Xing didn't want to listen to these two guys talking nonsense anymore: "Can we talk now? What happened last night?"

"last night?"

Stephenson and Barnes looked at each other.

"What happened last night?"

At first, Li Xing thought that these two people were pretending to be stupid, but when he opened his all-seeing eyes, he saw that these two people were really stupid.

They were sent to the hospital, the bar was smashed, and they were registered at the police station, but now they don't remember anything?

"You want to tell me that because you were drunk, you forgot to send three innocent fans to the hospital, and you didn't know that your brawl caused a loss of 20 to a bar that just opened?"

At first they were quite proud to hear that they were drunk and beating someone, but when Li Xing told about the smashing of the bar, especially when the figure of 20 came out, both of them turned green.

"20?"

"fart!"

"I can't afford that much money to build a bar!"

Now I know I am afraid.

Li Xing silently watched their ugliness.

It's not hard to understand their reaction.

Stephenson is a second-round pick with a very low salary, and he has been cheated several times before, and he owes a lot of money. It is difficult to come up with 20 in one go.

Although Barnes is a veteran, he is always wandering around, and the contracts he signed are all close to the basic salary. In addition to his family, he usually does not spend much, but he is extravagant to his children.

Although there are many opportunities to make money by Li Xing's side, the more money you can earn, the more money you spend.

This is an unsolvable question.

"That's the way it is. You have no choice. You must apologize publicly and meet the other party's request." Li Xing said.

The three of them sat like this without speaking.

Li Xing broke the silence: "Do you have any ideas?"

"This matter, I see how to do it."

"Put the blame on me," Barnes said.

"Matt?" Stephenson was about to speak when Barnes blocked him.

Barnes said: "Everyone thinks I'm a villain. It's okay to have more or less. Don't be too happy. Although I resisted this matter, we have to split the money. "

"But we did it together."

"Who knows? We were all drunk, and the words of those witnesses are not enough to prove it."

"There's still a camera there."

"Where can the camera in the bar be clear? You just throw Lucky in there, and all the pictures show a full black look."

Stephenson pondered for a while and said, "You will be suspended."

"If we take responsibility together, we'll all be suspended."

Barnes said: "Is it better for one person to be suspended, or two people to be suspended together?"

Stephenson's thinking was relatively simple, but Li Xing could vaguely guess Barnes' intentions.

Playing handsome?

Pretending to be cool?

Win people's hearts?

No.

As Barnes himself said, in the eyes of many people, he is a villain. If he does not play basketball, he must join the gang, and then start a series of disharmonious careers such as drug trafficking, fighting, and pimping. Life in prison, or death in a gang fight.

He's just a standard bastard.

He caused this kind of news, and everyone would feel "here it is again", instead of "this guy is actually this kind of person?"

What Barnes is doing is keeping Stephenson from making people think, "He's that kind of guy?"

Stephenson's career has only just begun, this is his third year, his future is still long, and he cannot bear such a stigma.

If you were the general manager, do you want a troublesome role player, or an honest role player?
The cruelest thing about the NBA is that there are role players everywhere.

The least lack of jobs are role players. Once you have a taint, others will give priority to the one with a clean resume.

"Matt, I heard that you proposed to drink last night?" Li Xing asked with a smile.

Barnes smiled bitterly: "Yeah, so it's okay for me to take responsibility from the source, it's all my fault."

"No, it's me who wants to drink. Even if you don't call me, I will go by myself. It may cause bigger things by then." Stephenson said.

"Then why do you want to drink?"

Li Xing knew the reason and asked: "The competition is too easy? The training is too stressful? Or is your life lacking in fun?"

"Larch, you know." Stephenson said helplessly.

"I know, so I'm wondering, why do you still have the energy to drink? If you want to prove that you are the better one, shouldn't you work harder in training and perform better in games?"

Li Xing asked: "Do you want the coach to know that you drink better than Golan?"

"If that's the case, you did it." Li Xing snorted coldly.

"Sorry, I apologize for what happened last night." Stephenson said seriously.

"I'm not the one you're sorry for. Even if you break the sky, you won't be able to hit me. I hope you will think about yourself more."

The incident between Stephenson and Barnes last night spread quickly after being fueled by various media.

Off-court fights and brawls are basically standard equipment for problem players.

Those players whose private lives are messed up will make this kind of news every few days.

This incident is not unusual for the NBA, but because it happened to a Raptors player, the outside world will further magnify, magnify, and magnify it.

The next afternoon, Barnes issued a statement: "I apologize for everything that happened last night and accept all consequences."

This incident naturally alarmed the management.

Barnes and Stephenson were called to the office and chatted with Snyder and others for more than an hour, and finally figured out the whole story.

This incident had a bad impact, but fortunately, Barnes' attitude was still sincere, while Stephenson was ignored.

Because of the existence of Middleton and Button, Barnes' current tactical status in the Raptors is declining. Therefore, in order to show their attitude, the Raptors officially announced a five-game ban on Barnes.

As far as the scale of the team's suspension is concerned, this is already the most serious punishment other than an indefinite suspension.

Barnes accepted the punishment with a grin, and after Snyder read the team's decision in public, he made a bad joke.

"So I have eight days off and it looks like it's time to take my family to Europe for a few days."

His voice just fell.

"No, you have to train with us during the suspension period, you can go wherever we go!"

Snyder's words shattered Barnes, who was dreaming of spring and autumn.

The matter was settled, and there seemed to be no major problems, but Stephenson also left an impression of "this guy is not easy" in the hearts of the management and coaching staff.
