Buddha's light illuminates NBA

Chapter 125 They Couldn't Be Fixing Matches, Could They?

During the warm-up, Lopez found Lu Ming with a troubled expression on his face.

"Senior, why do you have such an expression? Could it be that you ate something wrong before the game?" Lu Ming looked at Da Luo's expression and thought he was not feeling well.

Da Luo shook his head, looked back at the Nets' half court, and then pulled Lu Ming to the sidelines.

"Ah, you, senior, this is not good, is it?" Lu Ming struggled.

Da Luo used even more force, pulled Lu Ming and walked to the sidelines, almost reaching the passage.

"Stop! Senior, what's the matter, just talk about it here." Although Lu Ming didn't hear that Big Lopez had any bad hobbies, his master said that boys should learn to protect themselves when they go out.

So I used the Fudo Mingwang Mantra and took root on the floor.

"It's fine, it's fine here." Seeing that he couldn't be bothered, Da Luo turned around and tiptoed towards the Nets for the warm-up halftime, then suddenly approached Lu Ming.

Lu Ming said, "The sun and the moon are born together, thousands of spirits are reborn, the universe is immeasurable, and the urgency is like a law." He released the Fudo Mingwang Curse, took half a step back, and looked at Daluo seriously, "Senior, you tell me, I will listen."

Da Luo didn't notice Lu Ming's half step back, and he opened his mouth as if he didn't know what to say, quite embarrassed.

Lu Ming looked at him.

After a while, Da Luo finally managed to organize his words, "Then what, Brother Lu, you and Yi are from the same country, are you familiar with him?"

"Huh?" Lu Ming was a little surprised.

However, you actually dragged me here on purpose to ask Yi Jianlian?
Looking back at the Nets' warm-up half, Yi Jianlian was there, practicing shooting in his warm-up suit, but his left knee injury hadn't healed, and he was just shooting.

"It's okay. However, we're not from the same city, so we're not particularly familiar with each other. We haven't seen each other before in the NBA." Lu Ming carefully chose his words.

"Oh. That's it." Da Luo was a little disappointed.

"???" Lu Ming was quite embarrassed.

At this time, I heard Da Luo speak again, "That's it, Lu, I want to ask you, Yi told us that in their hometown, bugs are edible, is it true? Oh my god, it's really scary!"

Da Luo who said this seemed to have thought of something extremely terrifying.

Was that the original question?
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then thought that when they met at the Nets last time, he seemed to have talked to Yi Jianlian about how to communicate with his teammates and integrate into the team.

Just use food as a metaphor.

No, Yi Jianlian told him about the special snacks in Guangdong, right?

"Probably true. However, generally speaking, they eat lively and cute little bugs, and bugs themselves are protein, aren't they? There's nothing scary about this?" Lu Ming said with a smile.

"Hey! Lu, you won't eat too, will you?" Da Luo took a half step back in shock when he heard Lu Ming say this.

Are you serious about taking a half step back?

Lu Ming gave Da Luo a blank look, "Senior, you forgot that I used to be a monk and a vegetarian."

"Haha, that's good, that's good!" Da Luo patted his chest, looking like he was startling me, and then asked curiously and fearfully, "Ting Yi said, they Cantonese eat everything, is it true?"

That way, it's like Yuya watching a horror movie with her eyes covered in the middle of the night.

Hey, did I say something slipped up?
Regardless, Lu Ming answered Da Luo's question, "Although it may be a bit exaggerated, Guangdong's recipes are indeed quite rich. Some of them are lively and cute insects. Of course, more of them are ingredients that we see every day, and the recipes are even richer."

There are no specific examples.

Da Luo nodded, seemingly relieved.

He turned around and took two steps, then turned his head and asked cautiously, "Well, Lu, do they eat dragons too?"

eat dragon?

What the hell?
So, how many Guangdong secrets did Yi Jianlian tell?Could it be that he memorized a "Reporting the Name of the Dishes" all at once?

"The dragon you are talking about is the dragon in Chinese legend, or the dragon in the museum?" Lu Ming asked.

"No, neither. Yi told me that I am a dragon, so..." Da Luo whispered.

Are you a dragon?
What the hell is this?

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then thought that Yi Jianlian probably told them about the zodiac signs, and said with a smile, "Dragon is a kind of totem in our country, and there is no real thing, so maybe you can't eat it."

"That is to say, if there is one, they will probably eat it?" Da Luo immediately came to a conclusion.

It just so happened that Yi Jianlian came over at this time, probably to say hello to Lu Ming, but when Da Luo saw it, he immediately hid behind Lu Ming and shouted in horror, "Don't come here!"

The face is deformed.

"..." Lu Ming and Yi Jianlian looked at each other, both speechless.

"Yi, let me tell you, I, I am not a dragon now!" Da Luo ran away after finishing speaking.

Lu Ming suddenly called Da Luo to a stop, and when he turned around, he said, "Senior, you know that I've been out of vulgar life since playing basketball, so now I probably know how to eat meat!"

"Ah!" Da Luo screamed and ran even faster.

"..."

"So, after you told them, Cantonese eat bugs?" Seeing that Da Luo had disappeared, Lu Ming held back his smile and looked at Yi Jianlian with a helpless expression.

"No way. In the beginning, I didn't listen to your opinion and talk to them about food. It turned out to be quite useful. These guys, as if they had never seen the world, pestered me every day to ask what delicious food is available in China. So, I said hello, and I talked about bugs. You know, this is also true." Yi Jianlian was quite wronged.

"Fortunately, you didn't tell them that Cantonese even eat people from Hujian." Lu Ming was completely defeated.

"Uh. Well, there really isn't one."

Yi Jianlian scratched his head, grinned, and then thought of something, and said, "Ever since I told them to eat bugs, these guys are even afraid of me opening my mouth to show my teeth. Now that I'm on the team, I almost shut my mouth when I speak."

"Well, maybe someday you will be able to practice ventriloquism." Lu Ming thought about the scene and found it funny.

"Lu Ming, um, if you have time, please tell me. I feel that if this continues, there will be no way to hit the ball." Yi Jianlian said the purpose of coming here.

"That exaggerated?"

"Yes."

"Okay, after the game is over, I'll ask the big guys to have a meal together and explain it to others. It's really interesting. However, after the senior returned just now, he probably wouldn't tell others that I also eat bugs, right?" Although Lu Ming said that he ate meat, probably, Da Luo should be rumored to eat bugs.

"Should it be?" Yi Jianlian wasn't sure.

"Heh! That's a good thing! Then when I come on stage, I'll just grin and show my teeth, wouldn't it scare them so much that they wouldn't even dare to defend?" Lu Ming suddenly had an immature idea.

"Ah, this! Probably, it's possible." Yi Jianlian wasn't sure.

Lu Ming habitually rubbed his index finger with his thumb. This was because he was thinking about a problem. Yi Jianlian was puzzled and suddenly said, "So, why didn't you think of using this trick before you played against the US team last year?"

Yi Jianlian froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not like everyone is afraid."

"Haha. That's fine, you go back first. If there is anything, let's talk about it after the game. The good thing is that today's game started early, and it was only around two or three o'clock in the afternoon after the game." Lu Ming said.

"Okay, then please." After Yi Jianlian finished speaking, he left with his mouth shut.

Lu Ming thought for a while, then quietly followed Yi Jianlian to the Nets' warm-up half.

"Hey Hey!"

Lu Ming appeared suddenly, grinning, as if to say: Mine is big, bear with it.

Sure enough, seeing them one by one, showing incredible and panicked expressions, and after they all hugged each other, Lu Ming knew that Senior Daluo's mouth was actually quite big.

"Hahaha!" Lu Ming thought it was too much fun, and went back to training with a big smile.

Seeing this, Yi Jianlian was speechless for a while, glanced at his teammates, and then sat down silently by the bench, for fear that they would make them afraid to play again.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"How do I know what to do? How about we call 911?" someone suggested.

"Okay, okay, but, what should we say? Could it be that at the Knicks' home stadium, Madison Square Garden, some people want to eat dragons, dogs, tigers, pigs, and cows? Will they say that we are reporting false alarms?" Someone brought up everyone's zodiac signs.

"Ah, no way? My God, do the Chinese create zodiac signs just to eat people better? Mom, I want to go home!" Someone almost cried.

"I want to go home too! It's terrible!" Someone cried.

"Hey, I don't think it's a big crowd, right? Besides, you've also seen that the Knicks are talking and laughing with Lu, and they're not afraid at all." Someone noticed the Knicks warming up halftime.

"Yeah, could it be that we got it wrong?" Someone finally raised a key question.

"It's also possible that they eat too?" Someone boldly imagined.

"what!"

It was even more frightening, so everyone hugged even tighter. It was really like a man plus a man and a man.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Kiki Vandeweghe, the Nets' third head coach this season and general manager of the Nets, asked aloud.

"what!"

Only then did everyone quickly push each other away, with a look of disgust, they picked up the basketball and continued shooting training.

"Mr. Coach, what year were you born?" After a while, Da Luo came to Vandeweghe and asked in a low voice.

"Huh? 1958, what's the matter? Doesn't it look old at all?" Vandeweghe asked with a smile.

Vandeweghe had just coached one game, and ended the team's embarrassing record of 18 consecutive losses at the beginning. Everyone was still in a good mood. Facing Daluo's strange problem, he actually made a joke.

"Ah, yes, you don't look old at all." Da Luo smiled.

But I was thinking in my heart, 12-year-old age difference, good guy, Coach Vandeweghe is actually a dog just like Coach Frank!
I'm so worried!

Of course, he is not worried that the head coach who is also a dog will be fired by the team again. After all, this is the general manager. Have you ever seen yourself fired?

On the South Coast, Pat Riley, with his delicate back hair, looked at his disciple, Erik Spoelstra, who was the head coach of the Heat at the time, who was reporting on the preparations before the game, and smiled without saying a word.

back here.

After knowing that the coach Vandeweghe is also a dog, Daluo looked at Lu Ming and thought anxiously, "A 51-year-old dog like coach probably won't eat it, right?"

Don't get me wrong, Da Luo didn't scold the coach.

The old dog he was talking about was really an Old dog.

"Hey, David, I want to ask you something. So what, do you eat bugs?" It might be, first to confirm whether the game should be given up early, so Da Luo secretly found David Lee.

In his opinion, as an elite David Lee, he should be more reliable.

They all have white skin after all.

David Lee was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "It's the kind of bug in the men in black? Hey! Who eats this thing?"

"I really don't want to eat it!" Da Luo was overjoyed.

"Get out! You pervert!" David Lee was about to die of nausea.

"Okay. So what, does anyone in your team eat this?" Although Da Luo was scolded, he was quite happy, and asked again.

"Shut up! No one, no one will eat this! If you dare to say this again, I will tell you forever!" David Lee left angrily after finishing speaking.

"Okay! That's great! There is only one junior, and he can still fight! Avoid him and fight other people, maybe there is still a chance of two consecutive victories!"

Da Luo thought boldly, and then told the other teammates the good news.

Sure enough, everyone felt better.

But when he thought of Lu Ming on the field, he still felt uneasy.

So, in the anxiety and fluke mood of the Nets players, an hour later, at twelve o'clock in New York time, at Madison Square Garden, players from both sides were on the field.

At this time, BJ time is one o'clock in the morning, and some night owls in colleges and universities who have lost their [-]-[-] life in high school are using their laptops after the lights are turned off, waiting for the start of the game.

Back at home, when Lu Ming came out, he was greeted with the loudest cheers from the audience.

And the iconic pre-match ceremony also triggered a competing response from the home fans.

So, in the entire Knicks home court, there was once again a miraculous scene where Lu Ming raised his palm to the surroundings, and the surrounding audience responded with palms.

The last time such a scene happened was six days ago.

That day was Tuesday. Under the leadership of Lu Ming, the Knicks easily defeated Nash's old-age running and bombing tactics with the running and bombing tactics of the D'Antoni Lu Ming era.

"Lu, don't pay attention to what those people say! Play your own ball well! You are the savior of New York, as I said!" Spike Lee clasped his hands together and said loudly to Lu Ming.

Almost shouted.

"Yes, we said it!" The person who heard it next to him also responded loudly.

"Yes, we did!" Afterwards, the audience followed suit.

"Thank you!"

The support from the home court made Lu Ming very excited. At this time, he put his palms together and changed into a clasped fist posture, "Thank you, folks!"

"Tsk, the Knicks' home atmosphere is really enviable. Thinking about it a few months ago, here was the most disappointing home game. Unexpectedly, there will be today." Kenny Smith, who had received some tactical assignments in the TNT commentary seat, had a sour tone for this game.

Barkley held back his laughter, and he stood [-]-[-], and said, "No way, who can make someone play well, be handsome, and sign a big sneaker contract? No way, God is so unfair sometimes."

While saying this, Barkley was still touching his face.

That means, as if to say, brother with this face, should be on the same starting line as Lu Ming.

However, Kenny Smith will usually tell him, yes, your faces are on the same starting line, but it is a pity that you have run on the track of other athletes from the very beginning, and you have completely missed the track!
No way, God is so unfair.

"Charles, who do you think has the advantage in this match?" Kenny Smith asked afterward.

This question, to be honest, is quite embarrassing.

Ask a team that has played 19 games and achieved 13 wins and 6 losses, or a team that has played the same 19 games and only won one game after 18 consecutive losses. Which one is more advantageous?
Isn't it just to find a story?

Just like asking Barkley whether Jordan is handsome or not, it is as unreasonable.

However, Barkley analyzed seriously, "Judging from the situation of the last two games, both the Knicks and the Nets lost one game first and then won another game. Therefore, if we only look at these two games, I think both sides have their own advantages. Yes, that's right!"

Hey, just force him to find the story point.

Sure enough, he was a man who could reject Jordan's beauty.

As expected of Sir Barkley.

Kenny Smith quietly gave Barkley a thumbs up, and said, "Yes, and it is worth mentioning that when the general manager of the Nets, Kiki Vandeweghe, became the head coach, the team currently maintains a [-]% winning percentage! This is an extremely remarkable achievement!"

Hey!
Kenny, you can do it too, you found a breakthrough so quickly.

And this level of mathematics is really enviable.

Barkley returned a thumbs up and said, "Looking at the starting lineups of both sides, the Knicks' starting lineup has changed again. Lu Ming plays point guard, Wilson Chandler plays shooting guard, Al Harrington plays small forward, and David Lee and Darko Milicic are the power forward and center respectively. Oh, my God, this lineup is too high! Probably, Pat Riley will drool when he sees it."

Pat Riley: Suck, I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!
"Coach D'Antoni is being a bit aggressive. Such a big lineup, facing a more balanced lineup of the Nets, may suffer a big loss in terms of speed." Kenny Smith is really analyzing this time.

Barkley didn't hear Kenny Smith's sudden normality, and was still hard to analyze, "One more thing, the Knicks lineup, is it probably the fourth or fifth lineup recently? Correspondingly, the Nets' lineup, except for Yi who can't play due to injury, the starting lineup has not changed. Therefore, the Nets with a stable lineup should have some advantages in the face of the Knicks who are changing frequently."

Good for you!

indeed.

A stable lineup that has achieved 18 consecutive losses is indeed stable enough.

After all, the opposite Knicks, the lineup often changes, the team also wins and loses, not very stable.

"However, the Knicks' tall lineup is basically not slow, so on the defensive end, it shouldn't suffer too much. On the offensive end, they have more advantages. Therefore, in this game, the Knicks may have a slight advantage as a whole." Kenny Smith quickly gave his own conclusion.

"The Nets have the second-year rookie Brook Lopez with the No. 7 pick, the All-Star substitute Devin Harris, and the famous streetball king Ralph Alston in the United States. In short, they are also not weak." Barkley is not to be outdone.

"Haha, the game is about to start, let's watch the game." Kenny Smith laughed awkwardly.

"Yeah, yes!" Barkley nodded sharply.

The game started.

Although the tough commentary by the two of TNT convinced some fans who had recently joined the Knicks fan base about [-]% to [-]%, but when the game started, the ending still went in the direction of making these fans think that what Lu Ming said was really right.

These two commentators are really a fat guy on the left who doesn't understand football, and an old guy on the right who doesn't understand football even more than the fat guy who doesn't understand football!
Where is the mutual advantage?

This is entirely because the Knicks pressed the Nets to the ground, and the friction was repeated throughout the game, okay?
Although, it seemed that the Nets could chase a few points when Lu Ming rested, but after the whole game, there was no hope for the Nets.

Heh tui, what a mouthful!
Also an expert!

Experts really can't be trusted!

But in the TNT commentary booth, Barkley and Kenny Smith didn't feel embarrassed as they watched the game move towards a complete lack of suspense.

After all, the pre-match analysis and the final result of the game depend on the specific performance of the players on the field.

Just like today, the Knicks players played normally.

Moreover, Lu Ming maintained an extremely kind smile throughout the match.

It gives people a kind of elegant feeling like spring breeze.

It's just that the players of the Nets, what happened to each one of them, as if they had some strange disease, no matter on the defensive end or the offensive end, as soon as they encountered Lu Ming, they began to subconsciously dodge one or two meters away.

Even if the head coach yells at close defense, he can still accurately maintain a distance of one meter.

It seems that this meter is the safe distance.

What's even more strange is that as soon as Lu Ming came to rest, the group of people seemed to be alive again, and they were vigorous again, so they managed to control the point difference within 10 points in the fourth quarter.

"What's the matter with these guys? They hugged each other during the warm-up before the game, and they were out of shape when they defended the opponent's core after the game? It's weird!" Looking at the weird situation on the field, coach Vandeweghe was full of doubts.

No one answered him.

Vandeweghe had no choice but to personally arrest Da Luo, who was going to take the initiative to play the substitute time, and asked, "Brook, what's going on with you today? I don't understand, why, when you are facing No. 8 of the Knicks, you hide at least one meter away? Why, within one meter, isn't it safe enough?"

"Coach, the range of one meter is really unsafe now!"

Da Luo said this in his heart, but he talked about him in a nonchalant manner, "Coach, I and Lu are not in the same position. I don't know exactly what's going on."

Seeing Da Luo's expression, Vandeweghe suddenly felt a little bit in his heart, "These guys, they are not teaming up with Lu Ming to play match-fixing together?!"

Thinking of this, and thinking about his performance in the previous competition, he felt that he should have found the answer!

Although, he didn't realize that he had overlooked one point.

Even if it is a match-fixing, how can it be so fake?
　Six thousand words, is it a big chapter?When you turn back and take a break, try to make a few [-]D chapters! !
