NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 117 Fingering the Flying Pig Barkley, the Los Angeles Butcher Squad is ready to go! !

And when Ben Wallace pushed his suitcase and stood at the gate of the Great Western Forum, he hesitated again.

It is said that the NBA has a practice of bullying rookies.

As for the head of the Lakers, Lin Hong, the No. [-] pick in this session, is even known as the villain terminator, and there are already several big men who have fallen under the iron fist.

"Will I join the team and be bullied by the old Lakers??"

Ben Wallace was very apprehensive, but when he thought about what he had experienced during this time, he gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and pushed the door cruelly in.

Just bully, bully, as long as he can continue to stay in the NBA, sooner or later he will make a difference.

Even being bullied by an old Lakers player is acceptable! !

The suffocating heat poured out from the Great Western Forum Gymnasium, and Ben Wallace, who was wearing thick clothes, felt the heat immediately, and he hurried into the gymnasium.

Close the door.

Ben Wallace, who had just arrived, was very cautious at the moment. He looked around while walking.

"Ball, ball, pass the ball!!"

"Run, how can you catch the ball if you don't run?"

"Bryant's pass is great, and only you can pass such a good ball!!"

In the arena, the Lakers players were training. Ben Wallace walked to the sidelines cautiously, for fear of making any noise and interrupting the rhythm of the players who were training.

And when Ben Wallace just came to the sidelines, wearing the No. 34 jersey on the court, the big man with yellow skin and black hair suddenly stopped what he was doing and grinned at him.

"Hey guys, look who's coming, our new teammates are here!"

Lin Hong, who had just completed the alley-oop with Kobe, accidentally swept over Ben Wallace, who was standing on the sidelines of the court, hunched over, humble as dust.

"The spirit looks a bit sluggish, it seems that he has been severely beaten by the society, and his body is too thin!!"

"I'm not tall anymore, just a little taller than Kobe!!"

After carefully looking at the crew-cut Benhua Caishi, Lin Hong frowned subconsciously.

"Ben Wallace's strength is said to be the best in the league, but he looks so thin now, his strength shouldn't be very good!!"

Listening to Lin Hong's evaluation of himself, Ben Hua Caishi did not refute, and kept his head down without saying a word.

As a rookie who has not yet joined the NBA, Ben Wallace dare not have any refutation at this time.

"Hey kid, introduce yourself!!"

Lin Hong shouted to Ben Wallace on the sidelines.

In fact, Ben Wallace is 4 years older than him, but the NBA is a business league where strength and fame are paramount.

With Lin Hong's strength and fame, he was called Ben Wallace kid, and Ben Wallace didn't feel any discomfort or inappropriateness.

"My name is Ben Wallace. I was born in Whitehall, Alabama. I graduated from Virginia Union University. This year's undrafted pick!!"

Ben Hualaishi took a deep breath and introduced himself.

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head subconsciously, ready to accept everyone's ridicule.

Especially Lin Hong, the star of the Lakers, for whom countless teams have played badly.

"Hahaha, where did he say he was from? Virginia Union University!!"

"Virginia Union University? Never heard of it!

What level is your university, second or third league? ? "

"Lin, this big guy is still a rookie in the same class as you!!
Facing everyone's ridicule, Ben Wallace remained silent.

He has experienced too much laughter like this, and he has long been immune to it.

"Hehehe, laugh ass, laugh!

Smile again, don't leave anyone, we will practice extra until four o'clock in the morning tomorrow! !"

Lin Hong's rescue was beyond Ben Hualai's expectation.

He raised his head abruptly, and saw Lin Hong who was smiling and kicking his teammates, his face was full of surprise.

"Okay, let's play for fun, make trouble for trouble, don't make fun of Da Ben.

As long as I'm still in the Lakers, no one can bully the rookie, unless the rookie is extremely arrogant and defiant! "

Lin Hong patted Fisher on the shoulder next to him: "Derek, you take the newcomer to do the individual test. Although this guy is skinny and his height is not good, his strength is still good."

"I feel that this guy may be able to make a name for himself in the NBA. If he becomes a Hall of Fame player after being undrafted, I guess this will become a good story!!"

Lin Hong smiled and said with a smile.

Ben Wallace relied on himself to become a Hall of Fame player in his last life. In this life, under his supervision, Ben Wallace should be able to, or even better.

After all, being able to become teammates with myself, for Ben Hua Caishi, as long as he plays at a certain level, he can get a lot of exposure and money.

With the double bonus of Mei Dao's stimulation and Lin Hong's BUFF, Da Ben will definitely be even better.

Just like Michael Jordan and later Golden State LaVine teammates! !

Just ask, how many McGradys did not know because of Dayao, and how many people did not know Rooney because of Curry.

Lin Hong thinks that he is now a spotlight, no matter where he goes, he can receive the attention of the media.

And the teammates around him can also enjoy this kind of benefit.

"Hey buddy, come with me!!"

Fisher obeyed Lin Hong's words and strode up to Ben Wallace.

"My name is Derek Fisher, the team's starting point guard!!"

"It's also a rookie of the year!"

Fisher announced his family name and smiled kindly, which relieved Ben Wallace's tension a lot.

"Don't be nervous, the staff will give you a physical test later."

"As for the accommodation issue, Lin just said that you can live with him for a while, and move out after you find a house!!"

"Oh, thank you so much!!"

Ben Wallace grinned and nodded.

Lin Hong, the boss, was so kind that he even thoughtfully arranged accommodation for him.

This made Da Ben, who was shy in his pocket, heaved a sigh of relief immediately, and was very grateful in his heart.

At least you don't have to worry about being on the streets tonight! !
Ben Wallace's physical fitness and athletic ability are very good, and his strength is far beyond ordinary people.

But it's a pity that he didn't shoot, didn't hold the ball, didn't have the ability to attack independently, and even failed free throws.

Especially if the height is less than 2 meters, let alone playing a center, it is enough to play a power forward!
For Ben Hualaishi, except for Lin Hong, almost no one in the Lakers is optimistic about him.

The reason why Lin Hong is optimistic about Ben Hualaishi is also because he is a time traveler and knows about Ben Wallace's future achievements.

Ben Wallace, who had a poor physical test, just joined the Lakers.

Although Lin Hong said that he would not let the team players bully the rookies, Ben Hua Caishi was very winking and took the initiative to take on errands, carrying bags and other tasks! !
The diligent Big Ben was well received by the Lakers teammates.

Lin Hong couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Although he is the boss of the team and can prevent his teammates from bullying newcomers, it is still very cool to have a very sensible little brother! !
at the same time.

Lin Hong strongly won the best of the week, so sports brand giants such as Adidas and Nike had to evaluate Lin Hong's value again.

At the high-level meeting, several executives of Adidas finally reached a consensus.

After missing Michael Jordan, Adi can no longer miss this super star who is backed by China + the big city of Los Angeles.

Portland, Nike headquarters.

When Phil Knight announced the formal launch of Lin Hong's battle, he was also very annoyed.

If I hadn’t been on the sidelines and hesitated, on the day I returned to Los Angeles from Salt Lake City, I should have invited Lin Hong to visit Nike’s headquarters and sign a contract!
Maybe at that time, the endorsement contract has already been finalized.

Now, Lin Hong is not only gaining momentum, he has also become the second player in NBA history to win the player of the week in the first week of his rookie season.

This worth, this competitiveness, far exceeds the past!
In other words: add money! !
Lin Hong's already extremely high net worth doubled several times overnight!
In addition to fans and these sports brands.

Many active and even retired celebrities also participated in the topic discussion.

"I think the best player of the week should belong to Hakim. That rookie just got rookie benefits."

Houston, Toyota Center.

Barkley, who was interviewed by the media, directly stated: "Hakeem has won the best of the week many times, and the league is just tired."

"Plus Lin is just a rookie, you know what I mean, let a rookie win the best of the week in the first week, this is the league's favorite thing to do!!"

Barkley looks like he understands it very well, and thinks he has seen the essence of the NBA clearly.

Doesn't Jordan deserve the best of the week?

Of course.

Is the big dream Olajuwon not worthy?
From the data point of view, I admire more than Jordan! !

But on the one hand, they have won the best of the week too many times, and the league is already fatigued.

On the other hand, Jordan and Dameng are both 33 this year, and no one can guarantee when they will retire with honor.

The NBA also has to prepare in advance to promote a rookie.

In addition, Lin Hong is the first Chinese champion in NBA history.

The rookie won the best player of the week in the first week, the first Chinese player to win the best player of the week in NBA history.

Defeating Jordan + Olajuwon, just this eye-popping gimmick, the NBA executives are fools if they don't move.

Therefore, Barkley felt that other than Lin Hong, the best of the week in the first week was completely impossible!

Of course, Barkley also recognized Lin Hong's strong performance last week.

"Lin, definitely deserves the best status last week, but..."

Fliggy Buckley paused for a moment, showing an intriguing look: "I understand everything~"

Regardless of whether the reporters on the scene understood it or not, the NBA management understood what Barkley said.

Young man, the nba water is too deep, you can't grasp it! !

Stern opened his mouth and waved his hand: Barkley would like to mention a $[-] fine.

"I'm not interested in the best of the week award."

Immediately after the interview was the big dream Olajuwon who had finished his foot training.

Unlike the management of the DISS alliance, which was changed by Barkley, the big dream is pure:

"In the 1993-94 season, I was selected for the first team, first defense, DPOY, MVP, and FMVP in that season. In just one season, I swept the honors that the entire league could win."

"At this point in my career, the only championship is the highest honor I can aspire to."

The meaning of the big dream is very simple.

Except for the championship and other awards, he has no interest at all.

In short: the rest of the awards, and he's had enough.

I have to say that Dameng is so domineering.

"This Charles deserves a beating."

United States, Los Angeles.

In the news report, the original words of Fliggy Barkley's interview remarks were reproduced.

Blunt in the locker room immediately looked at Lin Hong: "Lin, when are we going to Houston??"

Since becoming famous with one punch, Blunt has fully realized his role in the team.

Anyone who dares to slander Lin Hong will be a stumbling block for him to reach the peak of his life.

And there are two kinds of people he can't understand the most.

One is the stubborn and cowardly one.

The representative is Kevin Hardt, who fights and retreats.

It seemed like a head-scratcher, beeping constantly, but he didn't dare to fight back.

The other type is the big boss, the self-righteous guy.

The representative figure is Barkley who is active in news reports.

Just made a name for himself in Salt Lake City, and forged a bond with the Jazz Shuangsha.

Blount started aiming his fist at Barkley the Flying Pig again.

"Cory, do you want to fight Dennis?"

Smelling the smell of a boxing match, Fisher also came over: "Listen to me buddy, if there is going to be a fight this time, don't come up and just go big!"

Knocking out the opponent with one punch, wouldn't Fisher have nothing to fight?
"Don't worry, let everyone participate next time."

Blount directly handed over the command of the boxing match to Lin Hong: "Lin, I will fight wherever you want, and I will definitely let you make your debut!"

After Blunt finished speaking, the eyes of the players in the Lakers locker room all fell on Lin Hong.

Lin Hong also looked confused.

Why did you suddenly bring up the topic of boxing?

It seems that the punch in Salt Lake City not only knocked out Ma Long, but also made Blunt roar the name of Tianzun One-Punch Superman resounding all over the country.

It also opened up the second line of Ren Du and the desire to fight for the Lakers team.

The fighting spirit is burning.

Is the Houston Toyota Center turning into a boxing gym again? !

But Blount alone can't beat Barkley at all! !

To be honest, as a fish that slipped through the nine-year compulsory education, Lin Hong felt that it was wrong to fight on the court.

But why do I expect so much?
It must have been infected by staying with these violent elements for a long time.

Oops, I'm not pure anymore! !
"Coach, when are we going to Houston?"

With full expectations, Lin Hong looked at coach Harris beside him.

Silver Fox, who just entered the locker room and didn't know what kind of conversation happened before, gave the answer directly:

"Soon, next week."

"And it's at their home stadium, the Toyota Center."

next week?

After getting an accurate answer, the Lakers will start gearing up one after another.

In three days? !

Lin Hong was already very hungry and thirsty.

It is not impossible to go to the Toyota Center to have a WWF to add to the fun!

"Lin, can't wait to challenge Hakeem Olajuwon?"

Silver Fox didn't know what the Celestial Giant was thinking at the moment, so he patted Lin Hong's shoulder appreciatively:

"It's good to be challenged, but we have to focus on tonight's game first."

After the back-to-back tour, the Lakers rested for three days.

Tonight, they will sit at the Great Western Forum and face the San Antonio Spurs led by Admiral Robinson.
