"Last season, Du Qi suffered a lot from the Celtics. He even missed the NBA championship. This time, he must avenge his revenge!"

"Rockets VS Lakers... Yao Ming VS Kobe, this time the Western Conference Semifinals is worth watching!"

"Set the alarm clock and watch the game on time!"

"..."

Fans in Asia are most looking forward to the game between Du Qi and Yao Ming.

NBA super giants like Kobe, Little Emperor, Wolf King, etc. are also popular with Chinese fans.

but,

What Chinese fans want to see most is the outstanding performance of Yao Ming and Du Qi. I hope they can win glory for the country and make them proud!
……

On May 5th.

The first game of the Rockets VS Lakers started.

Du Qi, who really wanted to watch Yao Ming play live, held back and chose to shoot 2000 shots in the Knicks training hall.

"Hi Du~ Tomorrow is our first game against the Celtics. I think you should take a rest and preserve your energy for tomorrow's game."

Cam came to Du Qidao.

"It's because tomorrow is the game against the Celtics that I have to practice harder!"

"You're already perverted enough. How about taking a break today and going to have a good time with your buddy, who will take you to meet all kinds of beauties in New York?" Cam bared his teeth and showed his white teeth.

"..."

Duke rolled his eyes at him.

Cam continued:
"I think, you are so self-disciplined, you are really asking for trouble... You have to learn from your buddies, in life, you should enjoy yourself in time~"

"Life is short, enjoy yourself when you can—there's nothing wrong with that saying."

Du Qi picked up a basketball and continued to practice, "But having fun in time is not a reason not to work hard!"

"..."

Cam opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.

What he said was so reasonable that he was speechless...

Finally, he said to Du Qi impatiently:
"I can't stand you...

Fortunately, I made a special trip here to find you to play, what a waste of buddy's feelings for you~"

Saying that, Cam left on his own,

"Cam, I hope you can also train hard and hone your skills. We play basketball, after all, we rely on our skills.

If your condition is not good,

The coach will let you sit on the bench, and I will not be willing to partner with you. "

Duke's voice sounded behind him.

"..."

Cam stopped in his tracks, stunned.A second later, he said: "You bastard, you really have terrible self-discipline!
If a girl introduces you, you don't go, what a pervert! "

After saying that, he rolled his eyes and left.

……

After Cam left,
Duke quickly finished throwing two thousand pitches.

"The fifth..."

"The fifth..."

But Duke is continuing to pitch.

Because he wanted to add a little skill distribution point.

At this time, the value in the brackets of the skill point in his golden finger has reached 99.

"Tomorrow is the matchup with the Celtics, a strong team... This year's Knicks lineup is not comparable to last year's Suns lineup, and it is bound to be a hard fight to win against the Celtics!
I just do my best,

Let yourself have more cards,

There is a possibility of winning..."

that's it,
Du Qi practiced desperately,

Another two hours passed,

"The 3005th ball..."

"The 3008th ball..."

at last.

Ding!
The system sent a message.

With a plop, Du Qi dragged his extremely exhausted body to the floor and let the sweat flow out from his pores, but his expression became more and more happy.

Because allocatable points are finally generated!
……

The next day, the Knicks locker room at the Celtics' North Shore Garden Arena.

Duke is full of energy.

Cam, who was sitting with Du Qi, had already yawned three times.

"Heitan, you are not in good spirits today."

"Hey, last night I got a top-quality drink...and then...you know~"

Cam whispered to Duke softly.

……

soon.

D'Antoni told everyone the list of starting players.

"Du, in last year's playoffs, we were won by the Celtics once, I hope we can sweep them out this time!"

D'Antoni finally looked at Du Qi with burning eyes and said.

"I also hope that!"

D'Antoni nodded, then swept to everyone and said:

"Everyone, the Boston Celtics are a strong team, but we can't shrink back. The stronger the opponent is, the more we have to show our sportsmanship!"

"We will win!"

"Coach don't worry!"

"Come on, everybody!"

……

After a cheer, D'Antoni led Duke and the others into the court.

at the same time,

Players from the Boston Celtics also entered the field one after another.

The entry of both sides,
All cheered by the fans.
"But the Celtics are the most popular among the fans!"

"Whoever is strong welcomes whoever is strong, this has never changed!"

"The Celtics were last year's champion team. I hope they can also win this year and win two consecutive championships!"

"Last year's champion?"

"If you don't mention this, I can't remember... Last year's champion should actually be the Suns, right?

To say the least,

Should it be Du Qi, the current Knicks player? "

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting...I'm a Du Qi fan!"

"..."

When the Knicks players and Celtics players were warming up, the fans at the scene had a wave of pinching and interaction.

After warming up,

Duke returned to the sidelines, took off his jacket, and was ready to start.

Cam was also sent to start the game, partnering with Duke.

At this time, Cam also took off his coat, came to Du Qi's side, looked at a referee on the field and said:
"Hey Du~ Look at the referee today."

"..."

Du Qi followed Cam's line of sight and looked over.The referee that Cam asked him to see was none other than the abominable referee who ruled Dookie to invalidate the ball at the buzzer in the finals of last season and entered overtime.

The referee who made Duke miss the NBA championship!

"It's been a year, and I've encountered this hateful referee again."

Du Qi said in a cold voice.

soon.

Players from both sides took their positions and waited for the center forwards of both sides to jump the ball to fight for the opening ball.

The referee, whom Dookie regarded as a hateful referee, threw the ball to the highest point, and with a whistle, the game against the Celtics started.

During the regular season,
In the four games of the Knicks VS Celtics, the Knicks won the first game and lost the remaining three games.

At that time, the Celtics players were very complacent and triumphant, saying that the Knicks simply couldn't do it.

this game,

It is equal to the start of Knicks' revenge!
……

Snapped!
Celtics starting center Kendrick Perkins grabs the ball from Cam.

"Damn..." Cam was a little annoyed.

Kendrick Perkins hits the ball into the hands of Paul Pierce,
Pi boss decisively handed the ball to point guard Rajon Rondo.

……

At the start of the game,

The Knicks assistant coach had this to say about D'Antoni:
"Deshuai, our starting center seems a little tired...he didn't sleep well last night."

"Take a look first..."

D'Antoni said, "Our Du has a very good understanding with this Cam. I sent him to start just to assist Du."

……

At this time.

Rajon Rondo had already dribbled the ball halfway, and when he broke through, he gave the ball to Jun Zilei on the outside.

Ray Allen didn't even make adjustments, just an elegant jumper.

Jamal Crawford jumps up to interfere,
But with a swish,
Goal scored.

"Ray Allen was fine today,"

But Du Qi didn't care.

Knicks point guard Chris Duhon dribbled the ball across half court after receiving a pass from Jamal.He looked at six directions and saw Zach Randolph and Du Qi came out at the same time, and he gave the ball directly to Du Qi.

"This Du, seems to have become the core of the Knicks team."

"Yes."

In the stands, the fans said.

Duke received the ball, and Paul Pierce, who was facing him, immediately stepped forward to defend.

"For the Celtics, their biggest threat is Asia Du."

"That's right."

"If this Asian Du is still in the Suns, the Suns' trio will have the power to fight against the Celtics' Big Three, but now..."

"Can Asia Duo fight against the Celtics' Big Three?"

"God knows..."

"..."

Du Qi made a fake move of raising his hand to throw the ball, and after deceiving Boss Pi's reaction, he broke through from Boss Pi's left side.

"Prevent him!"

Wolf King Garnett came forward to make up the defense.

Du Qi stopped abruptly.

Kevin Garnett's interference made Duke's shot a bit hasty.

"Cam, grab the rebound!"

"it is good!"

boom!
The ball really hit the iron.

Cam and the opposing center Perkins jumped up at the same time.Cam gets the rebound.

"Great grab!"

"Pretty!"

Cam grabbed the rebound, and after landing, he jumped up decisively and shot.

But his reaction seemed to be a beat slower,
Perkins was ready, and when Cam jumped, he jumped.With a snap, he capped Cam.

Wolf King Garnett aimed at the blocked ball and ran to grab it.
However, this time,
A figure of a Knicks player came out from his right side,

"It's Duke!"

"Du is so fast!"

"The response is so fast!"

just see,
Du Qi grabbed the rebound before the wolf king, and directly raised it lightly to make up the ball before it hit the ground.

The basketball hit the backboard, wiped the board and scored into the basket.

"nice shot!"

……

"This kid..."

Wolf King Garnett was surprised and dissatisfied at the same time looking at Du Qi who fell down gracefully.

"Never mind, Kevin."

Boss Pi ran over to comfort the wolf king, and patted the wolf king on the right shoulder.Then he went to the anti-running position.

Du Qi didn't care about Garnett's reaction at all.
Instead, he frowned and glanced at Cam.

"..."

When Cam saw Du Qi looking over, he couldn't help but blushed... well, anyway, Du Qi couldn't tell whether he was blushing or not.

Cam's eyes were ashamed...

Because with his Cam's ability,
Just that ball,
It should not be blocked.

Cam also knew that his state was a bit bad, and Du Qi must have seen it after looking at it.

……

"This game is very exciting!"

"This opening, the smell of gunpowder on both sides is very strong."

"The fight was relatively stalemate."

……

At the 3rd minute of the first quarter,
Du Qi, who didn't plan to use the golden finger too much, directly focused on assists.

After receiving the ball from Chris Duhon,
Du Qi took a look at Cam, and when he found the opportunity, he threw the ball to the inside with a high throw.

Cam understands,

Jumping is alley-oop,

"Wonderful, alley-oop!"

Just when the fans were expecting the ball to be dunked by Cam to cause a burst effect, there was a bang,
Cam dunks the ball to the hoop,

"This……"

Cam, who was in charge of being handsome, blushed again, and before he had time to cry, the basketball collapsed and flew.

this moment,
The expectant fans are in an uproar~
……

Wolf King Garnett grabbed the ball from Cam's dunk.

Rajon Rondo ran,

He made a long pass to Rajon Rondo.

Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball very quickly. Before the Knicks players came over, he made a three-step layup and scored the ball.

"6 to 2!"

"Knicks are dangerous."

"Is the Knicks center still awake?"

"Did he come to make fun of this ball?"

When Cam mistakenly dunked the ball on the rim, because of the rebound of the basketball, he lost his balance and fell.

Seeing the Celtics score this goal,
Du Qi came to Cam's side angrily, and shouted:
"Brother Heitan, are you alright?"

"I……"

"If you can't do it, I'll ask the coach to replace him!"

"Du, calm down, I just didn't pay attention just now... I made a mistake."

"You don't care? I think you are very handsome."

As soon as Du Qi finished speaking,
Zach Randolph passed by and said:
"Playing handsome has turned into playing wrestling, which is also a highlight."

"..."

Cam glared at Zach Randolph.

sidelines.

The Knicks assistant coach said to D'Antoni: "De coach, as expected, this Cam is really out of shape, I think he should be replaced."

"hold on……"

On the field.

Duke said to Cam:

"Cam, I hope you cheer up."

After speaking, regardless of Cam's reaction, he ran away.

"Du me..."

Cam was ashamed.

Looking at Du Qi's back with scorching eyes.

for the rest of the time,

Although Cam cheered up, his performance was not satisfactory.

When Du Qi was looking for the touch and didn't want to open the golden finger, he assisted the ball to Zach Randolph.

"Du doesn't trust Cam anymore."

"Yes."

"This pair of partners who cooperated tacitly did not cooperate... Knicks pills."

"Anyway, Du will definitely play very hard."

"..."
