I really play basketball

Chapter 104 The Hardcore Three (Ask for a monthly pass!)
For the city of Minneapolis, Lin Xing really didn't like it——

On his second day in Minneapolis, he was arranged by the league to go out to participate in a community care activity.

He was forced to show up in an orphanage and played basketball with the little kids in the orphanage.

It was this group of brats who were hostile to Lin Xing from the beginning to the end.

Of course, if it was just the hostility of a group of little kids, Lin Xing would not take it to heart.

He's an adult now, so he won't be angry with a bunch of little kids.

At most, it's just a little uncomfortable.

Of course he knows why these little kids are hostile to him, isn't it because he rejected the Timberwolves during the draft.

Shaking his head, Lin Xing began to be perfunctory.

This so-called community caring action did not play a caring role at all.

In the end, it ended hastily.

Leaving the community with a displeased face, Lin Xing's good mood was also ruined.

But not long after he left, he received a call.

"Hey, rookie, it's me, Shaquille O'Neal, you should go to Minneapolis, come out and meet..."

……

"Damn it, I really don't know what the league thinks, why put the All-Star Weekend in Minneapolis, this place is so boring!"

In a coffee shop in downtown Minneapolis, Lin Xing had already sat in front of the shark.

Hearing Shark's complaint, Lin Xing understood why Shark, whom he was not so familiar with, called him.

It's so boring...

"Not only is it boring, but it's also too cold!"

"Yeah, it's so cold that no one wants to come, this Minneapolis All-Star Weekend, apart from you, I don't know many people..."

"So, that's why you called me?"

"That's right, Si Da, I don't want to be so boring. From now on, I will leave everything to you."

Although the Sharks have social arrogance, after all, this is only his second year in the league.

Like Lin Xing, he has made countless enemies because of his unparalleled strength.

Just a while ago, Ewing, who has never talked so much nonsense, after leading his team to defeat the Magic, put down a harsh word——

"Shaq thinks he is a character, but to me, he is still very young!"

including David Robinson, who also declared in front of reporters:
"Stop asking me about Shaq, he's not on the same level as me, understand?"

The exclusion of the new generation by the older generation of players can be seen from this.

The two young people, Lin Xing and Sha Sha, really couldn't squeeze into the world of these old people.

However, compared to the Sharks, Lin Xing still has some familiar players.

He called Payton, then called Webber, whom he had taunted the day before, and Jamal Mashburn, one of the few rookies in this class who didn't have such a bad relationship with him.

After waiting for a while, Payton arrived, followed by Sean Kemp.

As soon as he arrived, he gave Lin Xing a big hug.

"Wow, Star, I watched the game between you and the Celtics the day before yesterday. The two kicks you gave to Xavier McDaniel were so relieved!"

"Relief?"

Lin Xing didn't know that Payton had a history of being choked by McDaniel, so his first reaction was confusion.

"Uh……"

Peyton was embarrassed for a while, he knew that he had slipped his mouth.

As a result, Kemp behind him dismantled him: "This guy was choked by Xavier McDaniel in public during his rookie season. That was the ultimate humiliation..."

"I see!"

Lin Xing was stunned, but then he looked at Peyton with disdain.

Gary Payton, Trash Talker, Guard Dpoy, Lockdown Kevin Johnson, Steel Jordan...

As soon as these labels are put on, people who don't know the truth should think that this is a very tough guy.

But now, Lin Xing already knew that this guy was choked by Xavier McDaniel, and he was [-]v[-] by Charles Oakley.

"He's also a fake tough guy, he should be nicknamed Hardton..."

With the addition of hard specials and hard turks, the hard faction has three generals.

Behind Peyton, Kemp, who had just dismantled Peyton's platform, stretched out his right hand towards Lin Xing.

The two are actually very familiar with each other, so instead of introducing themselves, it's——

"Sta, tomorrow's slam dunk contest, please give me a lot of advice."

"I will."

"Looking at you like this, you are very confident."

"That is, don't you know that I have ordered the dunk king?"

"Not always……"

"If you don't think so, you can give it a try and challenge me."

"Try, that's for sure, no, not only do I have to try, I also want to be upset, and I also want to beat you."

"Then I wish you a sweet dream!"

"..."

After exchanging harsh words, the two looked at each other and smiled.

To put it bluntly, everyone came out to play, and to speak harshly or something, just say a few words to enjoy yourself.

Next, it's time to cut to the chase.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, Sta, you asked me to come for coffee?"

"Of course not, but we have to wait."

Soon, Weber and Mashburn also arrived, and the bureau that belonged exclusively to young people was formed like this.

"Let's go, let's find a place to go!"

……

Playing cards with Shark and Payton until the afternoon, Lin Xing looked at the time, it was almost time.

Get short of Webb and Mashburn and head straight for the Minneapolis Target Center.

On the first day of the All-Star Weekend, there will be a rookie challenge first!
The All-Star Weekend in 1994 was the first time the Rookie Challenge was held.

At this time, the rookie competition is not divided into first and second grades, nor east and west.

It's just that the selected rookie players are scrambled and divided into the talent team and the passion team.

There is no basis for the division, it is completely random.

Before showing up at the Target Center, Lin Xing already knew that he was assigned to the talent team.

While Webb belongs to the Passion, so does Penny.

Mashburn, on the other hand, belongs to the same talent team as Lin Xing.

So, when they arrived at the Target Center, the two bid farewell to Webber and entered the talent team's locker room together.

In the locker room of the talent team, Lin Xing also saw Sean Bradley, the host Timberwolves, who had been dunked twice before his death.

There are also Chris Mills who played against each other in the NCAA, Nick Van Exel and Calbert Cheney of the Lakers, and PJ Brown and Popeye Jones who Lin Xing is not familiar with.

Except for Popeye Jones, who was selected as a sophomore because he didn't play a game in the freshman season, the others are all pure rookies.

Everyone is a rookie, and they are already familiar with each other. Before Lin Xing entered, they had already communicated with each other.

Seeing Lin Xing come in, Van Exel, Mills, and Cheney all greeted him warmly.

Dazhugan's eyes were a little dodgy, but seeing Lin Xing approaching him, he still reached out to shake Lin Xing and hugged him.

Now that everyone is already familiar with it, Lin Xing is not polite:

"In the upcoming game, what you have to do is very simple, give me the ball, and then I will lead you to beat your opponent!"

Compared with pure talent team, passion team is much more complicated.

When Weber walked into the locker room, the locker room was eerily quiet.

The reason, of course, is that their composition is too complicated.

In addition to rookies like Webber, Penny, Lyndsey Hunter, Isiah Ryder, Sam Cassell,

There are also older European rookies like Toni Kukoc, Dino Radja, and Antonio Davis, who is in a similar situation to Popeye Jones.

Into the locker room, Webber felt very uncomfortable.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still decided to stand up——

"Hey guys, let me say a few words...

I just met Stalin, and he uttered cruel words, saying that he has already booked the MVP of today's game!

Guys, he doesn't take us seriously! "

……

Half an hour before the start of the game, the talent team and the passion team played one after another.

In the ears, there were boos everywhere, including Sean Bradley's appearance, but none of them were able to win cheers.

Lin Xing finally understood what Sharks meant by "No one wants to come to the All-Star weekend in Minneapolis".

Co-author Target Center is not only a Timberwolves fan, but also a Timberwolves fan?

Lin Xing quickly skipped the boos all over the venue, because he found that the passion team on the other side seemed to be very hostile to him!
Especially the one named Penny, with a pair of eyes staring at him all the time, as if he was about to tear himself apart.

Lin Xing shook his head, probably guessing——

"It should be that Chris Webber has become an inside ghost..."

Then step up your efforts and kill Weber, the insider!
Everything in the rookie game was simple, so soon, both sides started their debut.

Talents starters: Lin Xing, Jamal Mashburn, Calbert Cheney, PJ Brown, Sean Bradley;
Furious starters: Penny Hardaway, Isiah Ryder, Toni Kukoc, Dino Radja, Chris Webber.

It was rare for Lin Xing not to participate in the jump ball, because in this game, he played a pure point guard position.

Dazhugan beat Webber, Lin Xing moved forward quickly, controlled the basketball, and the game officially started.

To be honest, Lin Xing really didn't care about his opponent in this match.

To quote David Robinson's evaluation of the Sharks - Lin Xing and this group of rookies are no longer at the same level.

Controlling the ball, Lin Xing directly faced Penny in the frontcourt.

In the locker room more than half an hour ago, facing his temporary teammates, he declared:

"I have rich experience in defending Lin Xing, so it's no problem to hand him over to me!"

And now, it's time for Penny to prove himself.

He watched Lin Xing start, elbow, and accelerate without delay.

He judged the right direction by moving sideways, but in the next second, he was roughly squeezed away by Lin Xing.

Despite being squeezed out, Penny did not lose his place.

He kept retreating, standing in front of Lin Xing.

Under the basket, Weber, who was protecting the frame, saw that Penny had been tenaciously blocking Lin Xing. He was a little surprised: Hey, the defense is really good!

But when he really got to the basket, the disadvantage of confrontation was suddenly opened.

Lin Xing directly squeezed Penny out of the baseline, and then jumped up from the basket with a bang!
After a heavy dunk, the target center, which was still booing, couldn't help cheering.

Under the basket, Webb, who had no help in defense, spread his hands: Stand still and cover him?
He found it incomprehensible, the defensive position stood still, but he gave in at the last moment. Is there such a defense?

Wes Unseld coached Webber a lot these days when he joined the Bullets.

So much so that now Weber firmly believes that as long as it is a defensive position at the basket, Jordan has to lie down obediently when Jordan comes.

Penny replied to him: You can build it if you say it, why don't you try to see if you can build it?
As soon as Wei Bo heard this, he was really excited: try it!

Penny rolled his eyes when he saw someone who was not afraid of death, but did not persuade him.

Of course he would not say that at this time he was a little glad that he retreated fast enough. If it was slower, this would not be an ordinary dunk, but a dunk of death.

Glancing at Sean Bradley on the opposite side, and then at the Sharks watching the game from the sidelines, he didn't want to follow the same path as the two.

As for Weber, if he wants to die, let him die!

The passion team's first attack, they are not united, or they lack a character like Lin Xing who can overwhelm everyone.

Penny holds the ball, Kukoc, Ladgar, Ryder, and Webber are all watching the show.

Penny who doesn't get any help and doesn't want to pass the ball.

Against Lin Xing's defense, he made a hit, and made a mid-range shot, hitting the frame without any suspense.

Under the basket, Da Zhugan grabbed the rebound, turned around and threw the ball to Lin Xing.

Lin Xing received the ball, accelerated directly, and rushed to the frontcourt.

The passion retreated very quickly, especially Webber. Although he was a center, his speed was no slower than the average small forward.

Before Lin Xing, he quickly retreated to the backcourt.

Turning around, looking at Lin Xing who was galloping towards him, Weber decided to make a proof for Penny.

He raised his arms high, neither dodging nor dodging.

Lin Xing originally wanted to make another dunk, one more dunk, to warm up for tomorrow's dunk contest.

But in the end, he saw Weber.

Needless to say, Unseld's guidance was still very useful. Weber's first shot was very accurate.

If Lin Xing went head-on without change, then he would probably be hated by Weber.

But who is Lin Xing? Although he is not good at blocking shots, Thurmond's guidance during this period has also allowed him to master how to avoid blocking shots.

How to hide?Simple!
In the air, Lin Xing turned around and turned his back to Weber.

Then he turned around again, and Weber had already been dodged aside.

At this time, he was facing the basket and sent the ball in.

Swish-!
When the clear sound of wiping the net sounded, the center of the target boiled again.

"Hey, Lin Xing played a trick on this ball!"

"Turn around in the air and put the ball in directly..."

"Juggling, what a juggling!"

The Central Five game was broadcast again, and Shuangping was surprised once at the beginning.

They were even more surprised when Lin Xing failed to dunk the ball.

Because this ball is more beautiful than dunking.

"Should I talk about it or not, it's up to Lin Xing to watch it!"

During this period of time in the United States, the discussion about the enjoyment of playing basketball has also spread to China. Shuang usually talks about Lin Xing's viewing of playing basketball from time to time, looking proud.

On the other side of the ocean, in front of the TV, a tall and thin boy listened to Shuang Ping's discussion, and his eyes widened.

"This ball is a real show!"

He couldn't wait to imitate it, so he got up, picked up a basketball in the living room, rushed out two steps, jumped up, turned around, turned again, and finally threw the ball out.

The basketball hit the window of the living room directly, and the glass shattered on the floor after a bang.

"It's over, why is the ball still out of hand..."

The boy's face changed and became a little pale.

But soon, on the TV, Lin Xing's continuous performance caught his attention again.
