Chapter 19 Trash Talk

The day passed quickly, and when Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps, came to night, Totoro and the others came to the "Pavelio Arena" again to play against today's opponents, the Los Angeles Clippers.

Their team's starting lineup has not changed much, and in the Los Angeles Clippers' summer league roster, he saw his college comrade Chris Rant.

"Hey man, how are you doing with the Rockets, are you used to it?"

After these two days of news fermenting, the image of Totoro in the minds of American fans is still not known how bad it is, but in the eyes of this group of summer league players, it is already very bad.

Every American player wants to give himself a good look at this Chinese who doesn't know "the sky is high and the earth is thick", and at the same time, he can use the turmoil he caused to make himself a leader. This is a good idea.

However, it is impossible for Lante not to have heard the gossip outside. At this time, he dared to run over to say hello to him in a fair manner. This is definitely a true brother.

"Don't worry, I'm doing pretty well, so you don't have to worry about me."

My Neighbor Totoro glanced at the Clippers' bench and found that those players really looked at him very unfriendly.

"But you have to remind them that I'm not too happy recently, and I'm going to vent my anger on them. They should be careful."

Totoro has expected to be hostile by players, but he has no fear in his heart. There will definitely be NBA players with more talent than him in this world, but he is not capable of any small role. Packed up.
The warm-up activities on both sides ended soon, and with the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

The Clippers' starting lineup is point guard, Andrew Andrews, shooting guard, Alex Hamilton, small forward, Brandon Dawson, power forward Bryce Johnson, and center Greg Steensma.

Greg is a super fat man with a height of 2.10 but a weight of more than 250 kilograms. Therefore, in the link of jumping the ball, the Rockets' center Dorsey finally defeated his opponent in the aspect of jumping, and successfully earned the first attack for himself. right.

Xiaobu got the ball, used his flexible body to avoid Andrews who was threatening him, and handed the basketball to Totoro after halftime, while he ran far towards the sideline, taking the most open half-court The position at the top of the arc is reserved for Asians.

In fact, to be honest, Brooks was absolutely unwilling to do this in his heart.

What Totoro said two days ago disgusted those who participated in the summer league. The most important reason for this is that these black players just look down on other races in the basketball field. It will be exposed, but the yellow race will not hide it.

But even if the whole world is targeting Totoro, they don't dare to trip Totoro now, because they are still unsigned players, and the Asian himself has at least signed a three-year rookie contract with the team , No matter how uncomfortable they are, they dare not mess around with their major work.

Furthermore, this is a rookie who traded McGrady alone, plus once Ruan Mai left, Yao Ming became a well-deserved core of the Rockets. Regardless of his commercial value or his own strength, no matter how long it lasts, the little giant is now the Rockets. The top card, if they dared to drag Totoro back, it would obviously be a problem with their boss, and they thought they were not that stupid.

As soon as Totoro received the basketball, the opponent's small forward Brandon Dawson immediately clung to him like an octopus.

Today, Ashuai ordered Totoro to take control of the ball, and the Chinese themselves had the same intention, ready to explode, so that the outside media would open their eyes and see their own strength clearly.

"Hey, brother, are you sure you're a small forward? Why are you so short? And are you sure you're going to guard me alone?"

Totoro looked at the black small forward whose official height was 1.98, but his real height was nearly half a head shorter than himself, and started talking trash.

Trash talk is a very common phenomenon in the NBA, and it is basically the exclusive skill of the stars. Trash talk is different from swearing. If it does not involve personal insults, racial insults, etc., it will be called a technical foul.

Players can use some oblique words to mock the pain of hostile players. It is more normal to mock a certain player for being short or a certain player is thin. For example, Garnett greets Duncan's deceased mother if it is too much.

Some people think this is not too much, and won't be called a foul?But the fact is that this is indeed too much, but it is not like a foul, because what the Wolf King said at the time was "Tim, say hello to your mother for me." No more foul calls.

Trash talking is a very artistic skill. Totoro has never said it before, but it doesn't mean he can't.

At least Brandon Dawson felt that he was very angry now!
"Food, you won't score under my defense, if you don't believe me, try it! I"

Before he finished his sentence, Totoro immediately took the ball and took a big step to the left, and Brandon quickly moved laterally to the left like a conditional reaction.

However, he did not block the offensive line of the Chinese, because Totoro was just a tentative step.

Seeing the emptiness on the right side, Totoro started instantly. The system endowed him with the NBA's top dribbling ability combined with his top explosive power, allowing him to kill the penalty area before other people, including his teammates, could react. Greg left for three seconds The district defended Totoro, and Totoro hugged the ball with his left hand. Dorsey, who had almost zero athletic ability, received the ball and scored 0 points with a simple hit.

"Hey man, what are you talking about, I really can't score on your defense, because now I want to assist."

My Neighbor Totoro returned to the defense slowly, and suddenly said something when passing by Brandon.

The simple-minded black small forward immediately had blue veins on his forehead, but he couldn't say anything to refute because of his poor language.

Trash talk is very technical, but it’s all based on your performance, strength and status. If you talk trash to others after you’ve been bullied, your opponent will just treat you as a fool.
