I really play basketball

Chapter 71
The Southern California Summer League is in full swing, but the raging mammoth has made such a warm-up event without any suspense.

Of course, the main reason is that the opponents are too weak.

The Southern California Summer League, to put it bluntly, is just an invitational tournament, and its influence is limited to the west coast of the United States.

Therefore, the participating teams are basically the Warriors, Clippers, Lakers, Kings, Trail Blazers, Supersonics, and Suns.

Most of the teams outside the region went to Salt Lake City to participate in the Rocky Mountain Summer League hosted by the NBA.

In this situation, the strongest opponent Lin Xing can meet is the Lakers with Nick Van Exel and Calbert Cheney in the opening game.

Except for the Lakers, the rest count as one, and I'm afraid they don't even count as rotten fish and rotten shrimp.

Especially in the game against the Timberwolves, Lin Xing, who was completely relentless, committed a tragedy.

In fact, the Timberwolves would not have participated in the Southern California Summer League.

Generally speaking, they will go to Salt Lake City, which is closer to Minnesota, to participate in the Rocky Mountain Summer League.

But this year, Jack McCloskey suddenly had a brain twitch.

He heard that the Warriors would only participate in the Southern California Summer League, so he directly changed the original plan and sent the team to Long Beach.

The reason? You can guess it without even using your brain or your ass——

This guy wants Sean Bradley, who has never played against Lin Xing, to compete with Lin Xing in the Summer League.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.

In the first Summer League game, Lin Xing abused the Lakers with 34 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 5 steals. Calbert Cheney on the opposite side couldn't stop Lin Xing at all.

At this time, although Jack McCloskey was a little flustered, most of his thoughts were: "Fortunately, Calbert Cheney was not selected..."

You know, with the fifth overall pick in this year's draft, there are three popular rookies.

Sean Bradley, who the Timberwolves eventually selected, was one of them, along with Isiah Ryder and Calbert Cheney, who fell to the 11th overall pick.

Seeing Cheney being abused by Lin Xing in all directions and without any dead ends, isn't Jack McCloskey all kinds of lucky?

Although Lin Xing's performance made him very worried, he was worried that Sean Bradley would not be able to stop Lin Xing's impact.

Soon, in Game [-] of the Summer League, the Warriors finally faced the Timberwolves.

Before this game, Lin Xing had 33.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 3.4 steals in five games, completely dominating the Southern California Summer League.

However, Sean Bradley's performance is not bad, averaging 17.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 3.4 blocks per game. It is not an exaggeration to say that he dominates the inside of Southern California Summer League.

Therefore, before this game, Jack McCloskey still had a little confidence.

The main reason is that when Lin Xing killed the Quartet, the public opinion was saying——

"Based on Stalin's style of play, he would be very afraid of a center forward who can stand in the penalty area and defend very hard."

But at the same time, he was also a little worried.

The main reason is that Lin Xing's performance is too dazzling when Xialian has reached this stage.

But soon, Jack McCloskey's worries were superfluous.

For the opening jump ball, Lin Xing made a big one.

The 2 meter tall directly killed the 06 meter Sean Bradley.

Michael Closkey, who was watching the game from the stands, opened his mouth wide and didn't close it for a long time.

This shit, it's too outrageous, the 2-meter big man didn't jump the ball over the opposing point guard?

Although this point guard is not serious, but your serious big center is more than 20 centimeters taller, and you can't win this jump ball. What use are you?

McCloskey was furious, but soon, the Warriors began to attack.

Lin Xing must have been in control of the opening basketball. He faced Timberwolves' second-year forward Marlon Maxey and charged directly.

With a simple straight line breakthrough and an elbow thrown by the way, he directly passed the seemingly strong Maxi.

Immediately afterwards, in three steps and two steps, he rushed to the inside of the Timberwolves.

And the one who guards the inside can only and must be Sean Bradley.

Among other things, Sean Bradley's height gives people a great sense of oppression.

Lin Xing is 2 meters tall, and he usually faces people who are shorter than him.

After passing the first line of defense and facing the opponent's second line of defense, there is a chance to encounter someone taller than yourself.

Even if it is taller than Lin Xing, it is not much higher.

The 2-foot-long man who is 13 meters [-] is only seven or eight centimeters taller than Lin Xing, and he is also a layer taller.

But Sean Bradley in front of him is an exception. With a height of 2 meters and a gap of more than 29 centimeters, he is directly half a head taller than Lin Xing.

Facing the first opponent on the court who looked down on him, Lin Xing still didn't give in, he directly went up.

In the stands, Jack McCloskey immediately became nervous.

He knows that this is the most critical moment of this game and even this season.

If Sean Bradley gets in the way of Lin Xing...

Bang!

Amidst the loud frame abuse, the cheers of the Pyramid Stadium exploded.

In the hustle and bustle, Jack McCloskey only muttered in shock, disbelief, and even despair: "What if? No if..."

Above the court, the big screen is already replaying Lin Xing's ball.

"Stalin, he rode directly on top of Sean Bradley, and through Sean Bradley, pushed the basketball into the hoop!"

"God, what kind of fairy bounce is this, what kind of fairy dunk is this..."

"Fairy dunk? No, this is the dunk of death!"

In the commentary seat, Matt Gutica has an extra partner.

While he was marveling at the dunk in disbelief, his new partner, groom Albert, had already confirmed Lin Xing's dunk.

"The Button of Death? Why the Button of Death?"

"Because after this dunk, Sean Bradley is dead..."

Sean Bradley covered his head. He was indeed dead, but it was not a physical death, but a psychological death.

Despair, unlike the fake Jack McCloskey's despair, he really felt the despair.

Before his NBA career even started, he was caught in an unprecedented death sentence. How can he be messed up in the future?

What Sean Bradley didn't know was that, in the stands, the team's general manager, Jack McCloskey, had let him down.

"Why don't you just drag him down, you bastard!"

Michael Closkey, who was just a bystander, didn't know that at the moment Lin Xing jumped up, Sean Bradley really stretched out his evil hands, trying to push Lin Xing down.

But he pressed it and found that it couldn't be pressed at all...

Lin Xing, who has just assembled the "King of Confrontation", is really going to be pushed down by a big white soft center, so he should stop messing around and just swim back to the flower planter from the Pacific Ocean.

In this way, this strong duel in the eyes of Jack McCloskey started with Lin Xing's death button.

In the next game, Ma Long Maxi, who is facing Lin Xing, cannot stop Lin Xing.

Jack McCloskey placed high hopes on the basket, and Sean Bradley, who has indeed played a dominant role in the penalty area in the previous summer league games, has also directly revealed his true colors.

The speed is slow, the confrontation is soft, and even the defensive positioning is problematic.

Lin Xing entered the penalty area from the side several times, and Sean Bradley was not even in the front. The power forward who defended the Timberwolves under the basket could only watch Lin Xing dunk successfully.

In the stands, Jack McCloskey has already seen it.

"Did I choose the wrong one?"

Also confused was Su Qun who just arrived in the US yesterday.

"is it him?"

"It's him, the Warriors' No. [-], and the name on the back of the jersey is also capitalized 'LIN'."

"No way, a flower grower, can he dunk like this?"

"Black hair and yellow skin, that's him!"

The assistants around him repeatedly emphasized that Su Qun finally accepted the reality.

At this moment, his heart is ecstatic.

"Can our florist players do the same?"

He thought of Michael Jordan, he thought of Dominique Wilkins.

Although he always felt that Lin Xing's dunk was more powerful than these two.

But at the same time, he thinks that he just didn't watch the match between Jordan and the essence of human movies live.

The dunk is still quite shocking to see on the spot.

……

The game ended soon. After finishing the game, Lin Xing put his arms around his hips and touched his abdominal muscles.

Well, sweating.

Although the confrontation was a bit low, at least I was sweating.

After these few days of competition, he summed it up——

Although the intensity of the summer league is low, as long as he can sweat for 48 minutes, he can get more than 1 blood points in a game.

Do the math, playing ten games is worth [-], which is much better than in the NCAA period.

Lin Xing also began to look forward to the real new season.

"The bloody value of the regular season should be even more?"

Just as he was thinking about it, the reporter rushed forward.

"Si Da, you buckled a button of death at the beginning, do you have anything to say about it?"

"Well, nothing to say, it was just a dunk, I got 2 points for it..."

In the stands, Su Qun was stopped by the security of the arena, and he wanted to enter the infield.

However, only staff holding NBA work cards, reporters with press cards, and relevant personnel of the two teams can enter the infield.

As for Su Qun, he has nothing.

Therefore, he was naturally stopped.

No matter what he says, he can't get in the arena's infield.

until……

"Uh, big brother, are you also Chinese?"

After suspending the argument between Su Qun and the on-site security, it was Lao Zhang, Lao Ge and others who appeared in front of Su Qun like a savior.

So, after the match, Lin Xing was called out by Lao Zhang.

Then, he saw Su Qun.

"Finally seeing you..."

Seeing Lin Xing, Su Qun shed tears with excitement, excitement, and a little grievance.

"Please allow me to introduce myself, Su Qun, a reporter from the basketball department of Zhonghua Sports News."

In fact, Su Qun didn't need to introduce himself. Lin Xing knew who it was when he saw this face.

"Hello, Reporter Su."

Hearing the well-spoken Chinese made Reporter Su want to cry even more.

His guess was finally confirmed, Lin Xing is really a flower grower!
The first flower grower in the NBA entered the NBA as the No. [-] pick.

This is the NBA, the highest hall of basketball.

As strong as the national players Hu Weidong, Sun Jun, and Ah's Jiang, none of them were favored by the NBA.

As for Lin Xing, he not only entered the NBA as the No. [-] pick, but also won titles such as the Son of the Chosen and the King of Rookies because of the first rookie sneaker contract in history and the first rookie contract in history.

The other side of the ocean does not yet know that there is Lin Xing in the NBA, but the United States has already regarded Lin Xing as the next superstar.

Soon, Lin Xing and Su Qun found a hidden place and sat down.

Why do you want to find a hidden place, you ask?

If it's not concealed enough, Lin Xing might not even be able to sit down on this day, from day to night.

Su Qun pulled Lin Xing at the restaurant for international students at the Long Beach campus and asked many questions.

Lin Xing was also very patient and answered them one by one.

In this way, from day to night, Su Qun directly understood Lin Xing thoroughly.

I just took off Lin Xing's shoes to see if there were Big Dippers on the soles of Lin Xing's feet.

Under the night, Lin Xing yawned and went back to the hotel to sleep.

The excited Su Qun returned to his room, shouting: "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

So, the next day, on the other side of the ocean——

Freshly baked and exuding the fragrance of ink, Zhonghua Sports News is on sale.

"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers! The NBA, the highest hall of basketball, is surprised to see a Chinese supernova!"

"The big show in the preseason game shocked the Americans!"

"Come and see!"

Many flower growers on the other side of the ocean finally know about Lin Xing.

……

In the last few games of the summer league, the Warriors still did not lose.

The main reason is that Lin Xing is too good. Playing a game of this level in the summer league is simply a blow to dimensionality reduction.

If it weren't for that blood value, he would have asked Bob Lanier to cut back on his playing time.

After playing the summer league, Lin Xing made some calculations.

With the game plus daily training, his blood point directly rose from more than 1 before the draft to 20.

"The attribute in the range of 50-59 can add two points."

Even so, he shook his head.

Not enough, still not enough...

"I hope the regular season can increase a little more."

At the end of the summer league, the United States was overwhelmed by a major bad news.

Michael Jordan's father, James Jordan, has died...

James Jordan was taking a nap in his Lexus, and the two of them—

One named Larry Martin Demosey, one named Daniel Green—hijacked cars, murdered old men.

The Americans have forgotten that Jordan mentioned to his mentor Dean Smith that he wanted to retire in April. Therefore, they have not realized what the unexpected death of James Jordan means.

……

There is still a long time between the end of the Summer League and the pre-season training for the new season.

During this time, Lin Xing did not stop his training.

But at the same time, he must spare some free time to help Nike shoot a commercial.

Nike attaches great importance to Lin Xing, because Lin Xing is the first fierce man in history to touch the top of the backboard in front of a group of people.

"Michael Jordan couldn't have done it, and he did it."

"Maybe he is not as good as Michael, but with his bounce, he should be second only to Michael, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Nike executives have long thought about how to shoot Lin Xing's first commercial.

"It's very simple, just let him wear Nike sneakers, jump up, touch the top edge of the backboard and it's OK."

So, Lin Xing left San Francisco and returned to Los Angeles, planning to spend one day shooting this commercial that sounds simple.

When he arrived at the scene, he discovered that the idea of ​​the director of the commercial was quite different from that of Nike executives.

"How can a perfect commercial have only a male lead but no female lead?"

So Lin Xing had no choice but to meet the heroine of the commercial first.

When they met, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and surprise.

"It's actually her..."
