Chapter 124 151. Larry Hughes
Washington, D.C., is not ranked among the largest cities in the United States, but the consumption level here is famous in the United States. No matter how the economy develops here, there are rich people who send money here to spend.

Because here is the political and cultural center of the United States.

Therefore, even though the capital of the United States is not a big city, this city is one of the few cities that have participating teams in the four major leagues in the United States. The Wizards of the NBA, the Redskins of rugby, the Washington Nationals of baseball, Washington Capitals in ice hockey.Even Major League Soccer, which is rarely watched in the United States, has a Washington DC United team, because many European and Asian media reporters and diplomats live here, and the football market here is not bad.

So although Washington is small, the Wizards have the seventh largest ball market in the league. The Wizards' income so far this year ranks seventh in the league.This also made the Wizards start to discuss early contract renewal for Arenas, who averaged 25+5+5 per game this year. It is said that he offered an early contract renewal of 7 million for 1 years, but it seemed that Arenas rejected it.

There is a characteristic of Washington fans, which can be described in one word-"tolerance".

In other words, there is no position.

You can find fans of each of the 30 NBA teams in Washington. Most of them are local officials and local government workers in the United States, followed by media people.

When Ye Han and the others stepped into the Verizon Center Arena in Washington, a large number of Bobcats fans wearing white No. 24 jerseys cheered for the Bobcats.

Due to Georgetown's center tradition, many fans in Washington wore Okafor's No. 50 jersey with orange and white intersecting jerseys.

For a while, Ye Han and the others were very uncomfortable.

"Why are the fans in the capital as unscrupulous as the Knicks? Could it be that the economic and political centers of the United States are like this?" Ye Han asked Okafor strangely.

"Uh..." Okafor was so asked that he didn't know what to say, "It's probably because the two of us are so popular that we both started as All-Stars."

In this way, Okafor himself believed it, and the All-Star starter is not a fake, right?

"Really?" Ye Han thought for a while, this stinky guy believed Okafor's conjecture, "Sometimes it's really troublesome when it's too hot!"

When Ye Han and Okafor were bragging and joking, they deliberately stayed away from most of the team, and shot on the other side of the basket to warm up, but Blake, who happened to come over to pick up the ball, just heard the conversation between the two, and suddenly his head was full. Black Line: "These two narcissists."

Arenas and Ye Han were both representatives of low-ranking counterattacks. Ever since Ye Han entered the league, the two had cherished each other and had a good impression of each other.

Arenas was the first top player to be optimistic about Ye Han before Ye Han became famous. Ye Han also stole Arenas' pull-up jump shot. The pressure is too great, but it is really easy to use at critical moments.

"Gilbert, what, are you ready to lose?" Ye Han challenged Arenas.

"Do you really think this is a preseason game? We are fully assembled now. You have no chance. Our record is the third in the Eastern Conference..." Arenas said proudly.

"Third in the Eastern Conference? God, you are fifth, fifth." Ye Han immediately reminded that although the Wizards' record of 28 wins and 21 losses is indeed tied with the Bulls for third in the Eastern Conference, but because the record of 24 wins and 24 losses is the same as that of the Bobcats The Celtics are the division champions and are automatically ranked third in the division, so the Bulls and Wizards can only be ranked fourth and fifth respectively.

"NONONO, the Celtics don't count, they just took advantage of the rules." But, although the record is ranked like this, the Washington people still don't admit that the Celtics can be ranked third in the Eastern Conference. That's just nonsense, isn't it? .

"Luck is also a part of strength. Who told you that you are not the champions of the competition area? You see, we have accepted the fact that we are not the champions of the competition area." Ye Han looked like he didn't feel pain in his back while standing and talking.

Arenas thought it was nonsense, really shameless, you 24 wins and 24 losses are seven or eight, of course you don't feel embarrassed.

Just when Ye Han and Arenas were bragging more happily, a strange voice came: "Is this our All-Star starter?"

Ye Han raised his eyebrows and looked towards the source of the voice.

Looks... really special, Larry Hughes is known as the player with the least star appearance, he is not ugly, but he has nothing to do with handsome, it is difficult for you to have a deep impression on this face Because I can't find a single characteristic, but this has become his biggest characteristic.

Arenas didn't hear the strangeness in Larry Hughes' tone. In his impression, since he knew the latter, Larry Hughes has always been that kind of virtue.

Arenas introduced to Ye Han: "This is Larry Hughes, the best defender in the league."

The best defender?Ye Han knew that Larry Hughes' defense was very good. Half of the league's top ten steals belonged to him, and half of the remaining half belonged to Iverson, who has the most steals in active service.

However, Ye Han was noncommittal about Arenas giving Larry Hughes the title of the best defensive guard, but he didn't take Arenas's face off, and greeted Larry Hughes with his right hand: "I'm very happy." Got to know you and hope to have a great game today."

Ye Han gave Arenas a lot of face. For Arenas, who also entered the NBA with a low pick, Ye Han rarely had a sense of approval.But who knew that Larry Hughes ignored Ye Han's hand and said in a mocking tone: "Gilbert, is this the genius you're talking about? I think he's just a stat brush, with such a bad record."

"...!" Arenas did not expect that Larry Hughes would say this. He had heard of Larry Hughes' point of view before, but he thought that at least at this time, Larry Hughes would Pay attention to your own words and deeds, unexpectedly his mouth is closed ten thousand times bigger than imagined.

Ye Han smiled, he was not embarrassed, but wiped his hand on the ball, as if he almost touched something dirty.

"Ace, Larry didn't mean that..." Arenas hurriedly explained to Ye Han, but seeing Ye Han's cold smile, he knew that it was useless to explain.

Ye Han was completely enraged!Arenas looked at Ye Han who turned back to his half with a sneer, and didn't know what to say to Larry Hughes, who seemed to be complacent after teasing Ye Han.

Arenas sighed. It seems that the idea of ​​using the lineup to attract Ye Han was shattered. He originally wanted to use the team's powerful trident combination to attract Ye Han's attention, and discuss cooperation and possibilities in two or three years. Now Ye Han is obviously on the same level as Larry Hughes.

But Arenas quickly put this matter aside, this kind of thing can't be forced, and Ye Han wants to cooperate with Ye Han not only in this way.Now that Arenas saw Ye Han's furious expression, he knew that this match must be fought.

"Will Ace go all out today? It's exciting." Arenas calmed down and focused on the upcoming game.
