I really play basketball

Chapter 77 Does he just want to kiss a donkey's butt?
"The opening game is too big, the jazz and the champion will make a bet, whoever loses will kiss the donkey's ass!"

Although as many as 13 games were played simultaneously on the first day of the new season;
Although NBC TV only arranged two live broadcasts across the United States, one Hornets vs. Bulls, one Rockets vs. Knicks, nothing about the Warriors and the Suns;

However, on the day when the new season started, it was Lin Xing and Barkley's talk and bet that dominated the headlines of the major media.

What the media reporters, experts, and football critics discussed were all the talk and bets of Lin Xing and Barkley.

Tens of thousands of fans also opened their eyes wide, looking forward to this gamble... Oh no!The start of the game.

Even the spinach company was attracted by this game, and made a special offer-who kisses the ass of the donkey?

The odds given were higher for Lin Xingqin's butt, and lower for Barkley.

This means that the spinach company believes that Barkley is more likely to stage a scene of kissing the donkey's ass.

Although Barkley is much better than Lin Xing, he took an MVP trophy out of Jordan's mouth last season.

Now that Jordan has retired, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the No.1 in the current league.

But the bet between the two is whether Lin Xing can score more than 10 points. Not only bookmakers, but also many football critics think:
"Charles is bound to lose. For Star University, 10 points is just a small case. He doesn't even need a whole game. At the end of the first half, he will definitely get [-] points or even more."

Seeing these discussions, Lin Xing shook his head.

Do you still need to say this?As the No. 10 rookie in history, if he can't even get [-] points in his first show, should he still be a mess?
On the other hand, Barkley looked at so many discussions, and almost looked down upon him overwhelmingly, even the dull big butt reacted.

10 points seems to be a little low.

Using himself as an example, 10 points for him means turning his body, pointing his butt at the basket, jerking, jerking, jerking again, and finally turning over.

Repeat this action five times, and you will get 10 points.

Sometimes it doesn't even take five times, because the opponent will foul, and there will be additional penalties for fouls.

"Based on the most, five times, a round of 24 seconds, two rounds of offense and defense, no need for 5 minutes, 10 points are properly obtained..."

Barkley was speechless, and he realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

"Cedric, Oliver, I repeat, your position in this game must be closer to mine!"

This time, he really panicked.

In a panic, teammate Kevin Johnson began to tease him: "Charles, have you seen the discussion on NBC's pre-game show? They think that Stalin scored 10 points and didn't even need half of the game, so..."

"So what?"

"Would you like me to find a donkey for you, and you can just go up and kiss it during the intermission, and everything will be over."

"Fk off, Kevin!"

Barkley didn't think he was doomed, he thought he still had a chance.

……

Soon, the time came to the afternoon of the season opening day.

The bus of the visiting Phoenix Suns drove into the Orlando Stadium, and the Suns players filed out.

Barkley fell to the bottom, but even so, the reporters still did not let him go.

The reporters directly ignored Kevin Johnson, Dan Marley, Richard Dumars, Danny Ainge and others, and unanimously pointed their cameras and recording pens at Barkley.

"Tell me about your defense of Star tonight, Charles?"

"Charles, are you ready to kiss a donkey's ass?"

"Did you know Star led a donkey into the Oakland Coliseum half an hour ago?"

Barkley originally didn't want to talk to these reporters, but suddenly heard a reporter say that Lin Xing led a donkey into the Oakland Stadium.

He stopped immediately, raised his head, and opened his eyes wide.

"What did you say, he led a donkey and went in???"

Just half an hour ago, Lin Xing drove a borrowed pickup into the underground parking lot of the Oakland Stadium.

As soon as he stopped the car, the reporters sensed the crucial element.

In the back of the pickup truck stood a live donkey.

Lin Xing grinned and greeted the reporters who surrounded him.

Kidd, the co-pilot, got out of the car and led the donkey down.

Then Lin Xing contacted the stadium security in advance, and sent a few people to take the donkey away.

At this time, Lin Xing accepted an interview and said very simply——

"I think I only need half a game at most to complete the task of scoring 10 points;

So, I prepared the donkey ahead of time, and at halftime, Charles was ready to go. "

Half an hour later, Kevin Johnson had a frightened expression when he heard the reporter's retelling.

He looked at Barkley with weak eyes as if saying: Do you believe me when I say I'm not an undercover agent?
Barkley also looked at Kevin Johnson, and he remembered what Kevin Johnson mentioned before the game, preparing a donkey in advance.

Looking at Kevin Johnson, he immediately became unfriendly.

Kevin Johnson found that Barkley was staring at him, and he spread his hands involuntarily: He and I really just coincided with each other!
Regardless, Barkley felt insulted.

"Prepare the donkey in advance? Then this donkey, you just wait to use it yourself!"

Barkley gritted his teeth and let out harsh words.

……

The other side of the ocean is also discussing the bet between Lin Xing and Barkley. The reason why they can understand this is because of the "Flower Sports News".

In the past, "Flower Sports News" also reported on the NBA, but it was generally summarized on a weekly basis, and the timeliness was very poor.

Because of Lin Xing's appearance, they chose to make a change and directly found an international student and part-time reporter in the Bay Area.

And the task of this part-time reporter is also very simple, to collect major and minor events in the American basketball world, and to send feedback to China as soon as possible via email.

In this way, Barkley threatened to limit Lin Xing to ten points, and the fact that Lin Xing backhandedly provoked a gamble spread to China in a timely manner.

And this game, which attracted attention because of the gambling, was not broadcast live by NBC TV station in the United States, but it was broadcast by Central Five.

The first game of the preseason was broadcast on Central Five. How could they miss Lin Xing's first game of the regular season and the official debut of his NBA career?
So, half an hour before the start of the game, Shuang Ping sat in the live broadcast room of Yang Wu.

They stared at the Suns who were already warming up on the court, various introductions.

"In this game, the Warriors' opponent is the Phoenix Suns. What kind of opponent is the Phoenix Suns? Director Sun, let me introduce you."

"Cough...the Phoenix Suns, they reached the finals last year, lost to the Bulls with a total score of 2 to 4, and achieved Michael Jordan's three consecutive championships.

But this does not mean that they are not a strong team. On the contrary, the NBA is divided into east and west. Their breakthrough from the west proves that they are the strongest team in the west.

So, in this game, the Warriors are going to challenge the strongest team in the West. "

Because domestic fans don't know much about the NBA, the commentary on Shuangping at this time needs to introduce NBA teams and stars in large sections.

But sometimes, the Shuangping combination can't understand it.

The most classic one was when the camera swept across the sidelines of the Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown, Director Sun said:
"It's a local movie star in America."

It's really refreshing.

"Lin Xing's opponent in this game will be Charles Barkley. Everyone knows what happened before the game. What about Charles Barkley..."

After introducing the sun, director Zhang came to this section again, and the director Sun on the side started to clear his throat, and the result——

"As for this player, I have a great say, because his style of play is very similar to me!"

Director Zhang didn't give Director Sun a chance to speak at all, he was excited.

But I have to admit, it does look alike.

Director Zhang when he was young, with a height of 193, served as the second center (power forward), with a vertical jump of up to 100cm, and a big butt, isn't it Barkley?
Director Zhang expressed his emotions with great enthusiasm, but he didn't expect it at all:
After this game, he got another not-so-nice nickname - Chinese Flying Pig!
The Fliggy of China introduced the Fliggy of the United States. At this time, the Warriors played.

The first game of the season must have a grand opening ceremony.

So soon, the live host shouted passionately——

"First out...from UT El Paso...the genie on the basketball court...'The Bug'...skillful All-Star point guard - Tim! Hardaway!"

Amidst the cheers, Xiao Chong appeared first.

Then, it was Lin Xing——

"Next comes...from Cal State Long Beach...the tyrant on the court...the young Chosen One...our champion—Sta! Lin!"

The same cheers, not even worse than the little bug who has played in the Warriors for four seasons.

Especially in a certain corner, crowds of Chinese fans made the most fanatical noises.

In the commentary seat, the Shuangping combination is also a little excited.

"Have you heard the host's description of Lin Xing? These are all the fame Lin Xing has earned in the United States over the years!"

"Listen to the cheers at the scene, there are not a few fans who support him."

After Lin Xing is Tyrone Hill, he is the starting center for the Warriors in this game.

Then there was Madman Latrell Sprewell.

Finally, there is Chris Mullin, who has played for the Warriors for 8 seasons.

Although the core of the Warriors on the court is Lin Xing, but off the court and even in the locker room, the leader of the Warriors is Chris Mullin.

Mullin enjoyed the most enthusiastic cheers from the audience, and the game was finally about to start.

"The starting five players of the two teams have appeared. In this game, Lin Xing is still the starting power forward of the Warriors."

"Yes, that's right, this is the position Director Zhang played in when he was young."

"Look at the Suns, point guard Kevin Johnson, we mentioned before, the All-Star point guard,
Shooting guard Dan Marley, small forward Cedric Ceballos, power forward Mike Chang, center Oliver Miller..."

On the Warriors' LOGO, Lin Xing has already faced the Suns' center Oliver Miller in this game.

Because of Nelson's tactical analysis before the game, Lin Xing now has a general understanding of the Suns.

He thinks it's a coincidence that the Suns, Sonics and Warriors all have a little similarity in terms of tactical style and characteristics. They all attack very quickly.

From last season, the Suns have the league's first offense, averaging 108.2 points per game.

The Warriors are second only to the Suns with 107.9 points per game, and the Sonics are fifth with 105.9 points per game.

You know, this is the 90s.

Basketball in the 90s has always had a characteristic, that is, low scores, few long-range shots, and tight point difference.

But the games of these three teams at least did not meet the characteristics of low scores.

Therefore, Lin Xing knew that this would be an offensive battle.

He glanced at Barkley standing behind Oliver Miller and grinned.

In the offensive game, it is even more impossible for him to score less than 10 points.

Barkley on the opposite side also looked at Lin Xing, and the two looked at each other.

He didn't know whether he had guessed Lin Xing's thoughts, or had already thought of the ugly scene of kissing the donkey's butt during the intermission, so he gave Lin Xing a vicious look.

Soon, beep!
The referee blew the whistle and the ball jumped.

Oliver Miller is not a high center forward either. He is only 2 meters tall, a typical short insider.

The ability to protect rebounds is average, but the ability to protect the frame is outstanding.

And the frame protection is the reason why he can overwhelm the two veteran centers of AC Green and Tom Chambers and become the starting center of the Suns.

His jumping is very good, but it is far behind Lin Xing.

The first second the basketball was thrown, Lin Xing jumped up, defeated his opponent by an absolute and substantial lead, and dialed the basketball.

The opening ball is still very important, because if everything goes well, Lin Xing will be able to score 2 points in the opening game.

It is crucial to score 2 points first, because as long as Lin Xing scores, Barkley's mentality will be affected.

The mentality of a game is the most important factor in determining success or failure.

Soon, in the frontcourt, Lin Xing started playing basketball.

As he saw, Barkley stepped forward immediately.

Not only did he push forward, but he started directly with a mouthful of barbara.

"Rookie, I heard you found a donkey, are you so impatient to start your performance? Ang?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you down. In this game, you can only get 9 points at most."

"Ready to kiss the ass ass you brought yourself after the game?"

From the beginning to the end, Lin Xing ignored him.

Lin Xing observed the Suns' defensive positions, although Barkley repeatedly emphasized before the game to make Oliver Miller and Cedric Ceballos move closer to him.

But the actual situation is that it is impossible for the Suns to defend Lin Xing with three people at the beginning of the game, and it is impossible for two people.

It's not that Suns head coach Paul Westphal doesn't allow it, but...

Barkley also has to face. If he doesn't test the waters on his own at the beginning of the game, he will directly go to the defense. What is the difference between that and admitting that he has lost?
In this way, at the top of the arc, after Lin Xing almost had a preliminary plan, he started.

He slapped the basketball skillfully and walked in directly against Barkley.

In a few steps, he directly dribbled the ball under the crotch and changed direction.

Knowing that Lin Xing is a breakthrough master, Barkley kept retreating and defending, but the withdrawal was too violent. Lin Xing was under his crotch, and in the next second, Barkley threw himself out.

Lin Xing, who stopped at the same place, was stunned, huh?Is this empty?
Barkley, who rushed out directly, was very embarrassed. When he turned his head, he saw Lin Xing who stopped outside the three-point line and was stunned for a full two seconds——

Glancing at the basket, he jumped up, raised his hand and shot.

Swish-!
"This……"

"What does Barkley mean by defending? I'm afraid he won't be able to lose? Does he just want to kiss a donkey's ass?"

"Star scored a three-pointer at the beginning, and the scoring progress is 3/10."

At this moment, Barkley, whose face became o(╯□╰)o, just wanted to slap himself.
