Chapter 74 Referee, He Harassed Me!

October 11st, 6pm.

Charlotte Hornets at Washington Bullets.

Unlike the young Hornets, the Washington Bullets are a veteran team in the NBA. They won the championship in the 77-78 season, but in recent years they have been a little unlucky, failing to make it to the playoffs for four consecutive years.

However, unlike the unchanging results of the regular season, the Washington Bullets lead the league in terms of moving and changing their name...

Chicago Packers, Chicago Zephyr, Baltimore Bullets, Capital Bullets, these are all former names for the Washington Bullets.

……

Wait a while.

The Hornets will start to appear one after another. Because of his performance in the preseason, including the league's official momentum, Li Shengli's name has already gained a certain degree of popularity.

And when the live DJ introduced Li Shengli one by one, the fans in the entire arena gave their warm cheers.

Li Shengli took a deep breath, enjoying the enthusiasm of the fans, and waved his hands around, and then grinned and nodded to the opponents of the Washington Bullets, although...he didn't know anyone.

……

"Oh, God, that kid... just nodded to us? What do you mean, is this a provocation?"

"Holy shit, this guy's smile is a bit arrogant. Ellison, you must teach this arrogant kid a lesson in a while!"

The innocent Li Shengli never thought that his sincere and lovely smile would be misinterpreted as provocation by these opponents.

"No problem! Well, I, Ellison, will definitely tell this new boy... This is the home of our Bullets!" Bullets starting center Pervis Ellison said with clenched fists.

"Of course, everyone will take care of this kid later."

"OK, fix him well!"

……

With 15 minutes before the start of the game, Bishop Alan was making the final arrangements before the game.

"Guys, this is the first game of the regular season. I don't need to say more about what it means to our Hornets. You should also understand." Alan clenched his fists and tapped on the tactical board, feeling very emotional.

"Our lineup has almost been adjusted in the preseason. Listen...don't be afraid of outside shots, just play as you want, don't worry about the hit rate!"

"And Li, you have to promise me your rebounds in this game, and...if you can't open the game outside, you have to smash their baskets for me inside!"

"As for...Johnson, your task is very simple. While attacking, I need you to give Lee enough support inside!"

After Alan finished speaking, all the Hornets responded in unison, shouting the extremely vulgar slogan... The Hornets must win!

……

"The first game of the regular season, has it started yet?"

Li Shengli suffocated with excitement. Although his performance in the preseason was impressive, it was an irrelevant preseason after all, and now this main match is his real debut.

Obviously... in one year, building a fleet of [-] walking tractors is not enough for him.

He wants to earn more!

He has to prove his value to the entire NBA. Only by proving his value will more teams offer him an olive branch after the rookie contract ends, and a bigger contract will be waiting for him.

As for...depressed Larry Johnson.

Before Li Shengli came, he was comfortable as the boss of the Hornets, but after Li Shengli joined the Hornets, all this changed slowly and subtly.

The teammates and Li Shengli got into a group?

He doesn't care about this, in his opinion... the strong are always alone, and the weak will stick together.

But the head coach Alan valued Li Shengli so much, which made it difficult for him to accept.

He was like an only child who suddenly ushered in a little brother who took away his parents' love for him, and now he... wished he could strangle Li Shengli, the little 'brother' who had been killed inexplicably, with his own hands.

"Shit, boy, do you even think about it, boss of the Hornets? It can only be me... Larry Johnson!"

……

9 a.m. US time.

Charlotte Hornets VS Washington Bullets, with the referee's whistle, the game between the two sides officially started.

Hornets starters: center Li Shengli, power forward Larry Johnson, small forward John Newman, point guard Muggsy Boggs, shooting guard Kendall Gill.

Compared with last season, the only change in this lineup is Li Shengli.

Because of his performance in the preseason, the coaching staff would not be so stupid as to put him on the bench, so... Li Shengli took the starting center position without hesitation, and the original starter became his substitute.

……

Bullets start.

The center, Pervis Ellison, averaged 20 points and 11.2 rebounds last season, absolutely at his peak, with the bullets in charge.

The power forward, Tom Gugliotta, the first-round pick in the same class as Li Shengli, met at the draft, but they did not speak.

The small forward, Harvey Durant, averaged 18 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. He is definitely a sharp knife player who dares to attack the inside. At the same time, he will also be the main source of Li Shengli's block data.

As for the two defenders.

The point guard, Michael Adams, is 178 centimeters tall, forming the shortest landscape in the league with Boggs on the Hornets side.

There is also the shooting guard, Rex Chapman, who was still playing for the Hornets last season, but now meeting his old club, looking at a few old acquaintances and former teammates, he has mixed feelings.

When a couple breaks up, who the hell wants to let their ex-girlfriend see that they are not doing well?

So Chapman suffocated and wanted to show his old teammates... he is now the bullet's starting shooting guard and the most important backcourt force!

……

Both sides are in place.

Li Shengli and bullet center Ellison were waiting for the jump ball in the midfield. Both of them got the opponent's information before the game and looked at each other.

Ellison glanced at Li Shengli, who was tall and burly, and he didn't know what it was like... He couldn't say he was panicking, but his sixth sense told him that the kid in front of him must be very cruel.

Li Shengli looked at Ellison.

To be honest, Ellison is 206 cm tall and weighs less than 100 kg. He is definitely not a body-eating power center, but a technical center.

In Li Shengli's view... Confronting such an opponent is exactly what he needs most at the moment. After all, he needs to learn and sharpen in actual combat!

Fighting his body, he is not afraid of anyone, but fighting his skills...

He's self-aware, has a lot to improve on, and it's clear that Ellison looks like...will be a good teacher.

"Hello, Ellison, please advise me later!"

Li Shengli showed a self-conscious smile and extended a friendly hand, while Ellison's face turned livid instantly.

Please advise?

I teach your sister!

What an arrogant kid, you're starting to mock before the game?

"F**K OFF, idiot, who do you think you are?"

Ellison slapped away Li Shengli's friendly big hand, and Li Shengli was stunned for a moment, as was the referee who came over holding the ball.

how?

The game hasn't been played yet, so you're about to fight now?

"Brother, have you misunderstood? I really want to ask you for advice!" Li Shengli was a little embarrassed, and stretched out his hand again.

"Go away, you bastard!" Ellison went crazy, and shook Li Shengli's hand again, "Referee, did you see that bastard...he harassed me!"

The referee was in a cold sweat.

What the hell happened to today's game?

The center forwards of the two families, what a fucking look... Is there a story?
