Buddha's light illuminates NBA

Chapter 128
To be honest, it's not like Lu Ming didn't think about winning the first round of votes.

He had previously thought that the league would probably engage in some small tricks to swipe some votes, and finally publish a data that seemed reasonable and most people in the American basketball circle would not think it was inappropriate.

However, when the results of the first round of voting came out, the 73 votes and the 7202 that followed were indeed beyond Lu Ming's imagination.

But this result, once again, put Lu Ming on the fire.

Although the old saying goes, don't use the heart of a villain to save a gentleman's belly, but the many voices that appeared after the voting results made Lu Ming have to doubt something.

And at the alliance headquarters, David Stern looked at the votes collected by his assistants. After the announcement, the media reported various reports about Lu Ming being the king of votes. He was a little worried, whether that young man could bear the weight of the throne.

This throne is not the same as King Dozhan who was crowned king when he first entered the alliance.

That is hereditary at best.

Even if there is no King Zhan, there will still be King An, King Wei, King Huo, King Hai...

And Lu Ming, in ancient times, was called a king with a different surname.

It's not easy to be a king with a different surname.

"Mr. President, this result can just give everyone a strong buffer before the new rules appear next year. At that time, the voice of support will be far greater than the voice of criticism." Adam Silva said.

Perhaps no one thought that the person who first proposed to publish the votes "truthfully" was the wise Silva.

Stern nodded. The announcement has already been announced, and it can't be taken back. Tell everyone that the background data is wrong?
Right now, it depends on whether that rookie can be a good king with a different surname.

In New York, Lu Ming was interviewed by the media.

The interviewer was Louis Clifton, who has now become a team reporter for the Knicks.

So through the media, Lu Ming expressed his feelings, "Thank you for the support of the American and domestic fans, I will use better performance to repay you for your support.

Louise, I think I can now answer some of the questions you asked earlier.

Me, why do we play basketball?

Because of the love of basketball, because of the support of the fans!

That's why we play basketball. 【this is why we play】”

"This is why we play?" Clifton repeated.

After David Stern heard it, he also read it twice, his eyes lit up, but nothing happened.

"The guy who gets carried away, wants to give back the support with a better performance! Humph! Don't think about being arrogant in my home court!" Chris Paul put on a boxing glove and punched the TV.

Last time, because of my bare hands, I not only smashed the TV screen, but also injured the mobile phone.

So this time he has experience.

However, the TV screen was still no match for the power of the cannon punch, and he died a heroic sacrifice.

"Student Lu Ming, you are too good! You actually defeated all Luo Luo, Gua Gua, and Beast in just a few games. Haha! Kill Wade first, then destroy Emperor Zhan, and only I Mingjiang, the alliance is king!"

Classmate Youya said loudly.

"Luo Luo, Gua Gua, Beast, Beast, isn't it a bit too much? You should kill Wade first, then kill Emperor Zhan, student You Ya, in the future, you should read less martial arts novels." Lu Ming had a toothache.

"So, Mingjiang, do you think it's okay?" Youya looked at Lu Ming with big eyes.

"No, it's not good at all. Then, why don't you read some Japanese comics? By the way, didn't you say that the teacher arranged a lot of papers to read? Have you finished it?" Lu Ming's teeth hurt even more, and he quickly resorted to a trick.

Sure enough, Youya rolled her beautiful eyes, told her, and then went back to read the paper.

The next day, Lu Ming came to New Orleans with the team, where they will play a game against the Hornets.

The Hornets have played 21 games before and only won 10 games, with a winning percentage of less than half. In the West, they are temporarily ranked 10th.

The team's scoring leader is David West, averaging 19 points and 8 rebounds per game, and the assists leader Chris Paul is averaging 15 points and 9.8 assists per game.

So no matter in terms of record or personal performance, the Hornets have disappointed everyone in the first quarter of the season.

Fortunately, the team's recent three-game winning streak, it seems, has come out of the previous difficult period.

So the arrival of the Knicks happened to be the time for them to test their true strength.

"Tonight's game, we can't let the No. 8 rookie leave comfortably! I want to be humiliated once again! Brothers, I need your help!" At the pre-match mobilization meeting, Chris Paul looked fierce.

Now thinking of Lu Ming, my brain buzzes.

"Well, you can't let him leave comfortably!" David West looked more fierce than him.

"must!"

"+1!"

The team's 183 man who controlled the ball spoke up, and the others naturally couldn't refuse. Besides, they also wanted to win.

So before the two sides appeared on the stage, Lu Ming saw that all the opponents were aggressive.

Especially Paul, with a murderous look on his face.

"Brothers, tonight may be a tough battle." Lu Ming reminded others.

"Understood!" Everyone nodded.

Before the start of the game, as usual, first introduce the starting players of both sides.

For the visiting Knicks, the lineup sent out the starting lineup at the beginning of the season. Lu Ming continued to return to the shooting guard position, with Duhon controlling the ball, small forward Gallinari, power forward David Lee, and center Milicic.

This is a relatively stable offensive and defensive lineup.

In fact, the Knicks' overall overall defensive ability is indeed in the middle and lower reaches of the league.

From the data point of view, when this lineup is on the court, the Knicks can score 115 points every 105 rounds, while allowing their opponents to score [-] points.

On the opposite side of the Hornets, the starting big center is Emeka Okafor at 2 meters, power forward David West, small forward James Posey, shooting guard Devin Brown, and point guard Paul.

Today's commentary is still the TNT duo of Barkley and Kenny Smith.

"It was a good game. Kenny, did you win the last game?" Kenny Smith asked with a smile.

"How could I not remember? In that game, Paul lost control of his emotions and punched Lu Ming and was sent off, and Lu only played for less than two quarters before he didn't play again, interrupting his 20+10 scoring performance." Barkley was very familiar with Lu Ming.

"So this game, judging from the expressions of both sides before the game, especially the Hornets players, it may definitely be a game with a story." Kenny Smith was a little worried.

"Very likely. However, I think Paul should learn from that game and stop talking trash on the court. After all, in Lu's hand, he has a one-hit kill trick." Barkley was just about to say 58 points directly.

"Haha!" Kenny Smith laughed.

Afterwards, players from both sides came on stage to pay tribute.

"Rookie, tonight, I'm going to beat you until you cry!" Paul came up with a threat.

Touching the head to kill, 58, these two things, which one, stimulated Paul's nerves, and the frequently replaced TV in his home has witnessed this.

"Well, I'll wait." It was too childish to speak harshly before the game.

Believe it or not, at that time, a sentence of 58, a touch of the head will kill you, and you will blow yourself up in minutes?

"Don't try to force me to shoot in the same way again! Tonight, I will beat you in the way you play basketball!" Seeing Lu Ming's calm look, Paul became even more angry.

You have to know other ways, too?
Lu Ming thought to himself, and then responded, "Then I will fight for it. At this time, let's leave something."

"Delusion!" Paul growled.

"It's just you, Xinke's All-Star ticket champion? Last time you ran away at home, this time, at my home, you don't even want to run standing up! Did you see that tonight, there are so many pits and valleys, and it's all about watching you make a fool of yourself!" West said viciously.

"By the way, the stadium is full. How long has it been since you guys saw each other?" Lu Ming gave a knowing blow.

"Rookie! You, you wait for me!" West was stunned for a moment before realizing that tonight's full house is most likely related to this rookie.

So, so angry.

Swearing and walking away.

Devin Harris stepped forward, thought for a while, and just said, "Tonight, you don't want to score 10, uh, 20 points under my defense!"

"Work hard! Come on!" Lu Ming supported his idea.

After all, this is a man who was also famous in NBA history in the miracle of McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 points.

His sluggish and bewildered expression seemed to keep asking, "Where is the ten-point leader? What about the one who was so big just now?"

"Rookie, don't even think about getting inside! That's my restricted area!" Okafor flashed his muscles.

"Really? I want to go in and have a look?" Lu Ming asked.

It has to be said that Lu Ming's identity as a king with a different surname made Lu Ming feel a little flustered.

"Then you just wait!" Okafor almost said, not to mention unexpected.

So, Lu Ming also had an idea.

The harsh words are over, and the game begins.

Milicic's height advantage is obvious, and he jumped to win the first goal. Duhon controlled the ball for halftime, and under Paul's defense, he failed to run and bomb.

In fact, run and gun is now only [-]% of the Knicks' tactical usage.

At the top of the arc, Lu Ming leaned on Devin Brown and received a pass from Duhon. After two backs, he tested the opponent's defensive strength, and then suddenly passed the basketball to Gallinari who ran out of the open space under the screen.

Gallinari catches the ball and makes a three-pointer!
"Devin, don't give him room to pass the ball!" Paul shouted at Devin Brown.

Devon Brown was silent.

I thought, how can I prevent him from scoring and passing the ball by myself?
"Did you see, Devin, you defended me hard, but because he didn't defend others, he became the one who took the blame. Sigh, next time, you'd better let me shoot. Or let me break through and let others defend me." Lu Ming said while retreating.

Ok?
As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Paul.

Coincidentally, Paul also looked at himself strangely.

The thoughts that came to the minds of both of them at the same time were, isn't this the way I/he talked trash in the last game?
Should just be a coincidence.

Lu Ming shook his head, and together with his teammates, defended against the Hornets' attack.

Although Paul is only 183, his passing vision is beyond ordinary people's imagination. Facing Duhon's defense, after a few dribbles, the basketball ran into the hands of West inside.

West received the ball, his posture was very comfortable, he hit David Lee with his back, and finally used a steady hand to turn over and jump near the basket to get the first goal for the Hornets.

3: 2.

In exchange for the Knicks offense, this time, the Knicks' running and bombing came out.

However, after the insider David Lee received the ball, he was a little careless, shot Okafor who was being chased, and slapped him on the backboard.

A solid pegboard cap.

Subsequently, the basketball was snatched by Paul, who was running faster, and he hit the Knicks with a defensive counterattack, and made a long pass to James Posey, who started running back before halftime.

James Posey played one-on-one in the frontcourt, and Gallinari could only watch helplessly as the opponent scored.

3:4, the Hornets led by 1 point.

"Today, this is a restricted area, no one can score here! No one! I said it!" After Okafor finished his hat, he did not participate in the attack, but yelled at Lu Ming.

Yes, yes, you said it.

Everyone heard it, why are you shouting so loudly?

Lu Ming waited for Du Hong to dribble the ball halfway, then reached out for the ball, and then motioned for his teammates to pull away.

He wanted to try the Hornets' restricted area.

After getting the ball from the front basket, facing Devin Brown's defense, after making two three-threats, he broke through with a fake move.

West rushed out to block, and Lu Ming took another behind-the-back dribble and passed another person.

At this time, only Okafor was left inside the Hornets.

Just when people thought that Lu Ming would use a mid-range shot to end this attack.Lu Ming, who had burst into the paint, suddenly soared into the air, facing Okafor's defense, and dunked the basketball heavily into the basket!

Was detained?

Okafor was stunned. After realizing it, he immediately pushed Lu Ming hard.

At this time, Lu Ming just let go of his hand, ready to fall!
