Chapter 38: Verbal Sarcasm
After Jeremy Lin ate 7 hamburgers, he began to burp contentedly, "Helian you are right, Joseph, your burger is really the best in the world!" ”
Joseph nodded ignorantly, and in his heart he had already characterized Jeremy Lin as a charlatan who cheated on food and drink.
Hogist said: "Brother Lin, when we are full, we should discuss tactics, right?" ”
Jeremy Lin wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, I remember you said that the opponents were 6 feet 9 inches, 6 feet 7 inches, and 6 feet 4 inches tall, right!" Who is that senior one? ”
"The senior one is 6'9" and the 6'7" one is called Anthony. Bennett, who was formerly the No. 1 high school student in Nevada, was 6 feet 4 inches and a high school student in Arizona named Lang Day. Hollis Jefferson, who is said to be a defensive stalwart. Do you see how we fight? ”
Jeremy Lin thought for a while and said, "The big man here will block and dismantle me, or I will break through by myself, you run the empty position, I will play it myself or give you a shot, how else can I play?" ”
"What about defense?" Hougist asked.
"Defense? We don't need to defend, we attack from beginning to end, and we will be done with a 21:0 beat. Jeremy Lin looked at Hoggist in surprise, wondering how he could ask such a question.
And everyone else looked at Jeremy Lin with the same gaze, wondering how he could be so confident.
Jeremy Lin felt everyone's strange gaze and asked puzzledly, "Why are you looking at me like this?" I'm a professional footballer too! Isn't it normal to beat a bunch of students and shave their heads without water? Don't look at me short, if you really want to talk about fighting for rebounds, that senior may still be a little threatening, and the other high school students are not enough in my eyes, including the Bennett you said, I can sit on my back and beat him from the three-point line to the basket Do you believe it or not? The core strength of your high school students is far worse than that of professional players! ”
Except for Hogist, the others still refused to believe it. Feeling that everyone's expressions had not changed, Jeremy Lin had no choice but to say: "In this way, I'll defend against college students later, Devin you will defend against that Bennett, and the easiest Hollis Jefferson Howgist you will defend, this is okay, right?" If you still don't believe me, I'll go to the court later, and I'll play a few Devin on my back for you to see! ”
"No, of course we believe you! But there is one more small request. Hoggist said with some embarrassment.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"Two of these three people are coming for me, can you find a way to highlight my strength more during the game?"
"Hmm...... It's okay, then you shoot more and I'll grab rebounds, but I can't guarantee a clean sheet! Jeremy Lin thought for a moment and replied.
"It's okay, just win!"
"It's definitely no problem to win!" Jeremy Lin assured again.
"Oh well! Let's go now, walk over and warm up. Hoggist said.
Everyone echoed the sound and walked to the small court with their equipment.
When they came to the stadium and changed their equipment, everyone began to warm up, and Joseph asked Haugist, "Am I still warming up?" That's enough for the three of you, right? ”
Before Hougist could speak, Jeremy Lin said on the side: "You can also warm up, and you can also play with the three of us in the back, so that you can see the rebounding advantage of professional players when facing the student army!" ”
Joseph also joined the warm-up team at the order, Jeremy Lin saw that Hougist's warm-up was very professional, and couldn't help but admire: "You are worthy of someone who will definitely enter the NBA in the future, your warm-up is serious enough, it is all professional actions!" ”
"Thanks for the compliment, Brother Lin gave me a staff officer, what is the gap between my warm-up exercise and your major?" Hoggist asked modestly.
"You've done a good job of warming up without equipment, and this kind of venue is not suitable for warming up with equipment, so you just keep it in your current state."
After the warm-up, Jeremy Lin showed everyone the huge gap between professional players and high school students, from the three-point line to easily hit Devin with his back to the basket, and strong layups, unless Devin locked his throat, he couldn't stop it at all; Grabbing the rebound card position is also the same, Jeremy Lin's judgment of the rebounding point is very accurate, and Devin can't push it at all and can't get around it in advance. Only then can everyone be truly at ease.
A few people are playing high, Anthony. Bennett and his party also came to the court. The last time Joseph's mobile phone video made Bennett lose his position as the No. 1 high school student in Nevada, this time he was bent on revenge, and he also had a DV brought in, apparently to clearly record every detail of Hougist's loss.
As soon as the two groups of people met, the arena was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Bennett opened his mouth and mocked, "Shrinking turtle, you finally appeared?" I thought you were hiding in your mother's arms and didn't dare to go out. ”
Hoggist smiled indifferently, and replied without humility or arrogance: "After winning against you last time, I pointed out your ball skills, I don't know if your level has improved?" I also deliberately interrupted the vacation to come back to give you an exam, you relax your mind, perform well, don't let me down as a teacher! ”
Bennett's face turned red, remembering that it was Hoggist who pointed out his technical defects and improvement directions when he lost, so that he could dominate the Quartet in the National Invitational Tournament, and now he is running for revenge, isn't it revenge? It's a shame to look like this! But after thinking about it, no one mentioned the news that he won the national invitational championship recently, but Hougist won a state championship and was blown to the sky by many netizens, and he also used the original heads-up video to elevate Hougist and belittle himself, which is unbearable, I have to win him today, and happily slap those boring netizens in the face!
Parsons stood aside, and when he saw Bennett's black face blue and red, he was afraid that he would be cowardly before he fought and lose to Hoggist in momentum, so he stood up to help: "Haugist, I have endured you several times in Renault City, but I didn't expect you to provoke again and again, and today I will come to teach you a good lesson!" ”
Obviously, it was Parsons who accosted Qiu Jingli and turned to hold a grudge against Hoggist, but in his mouth, it became Hoggist's initiative to provoke and create friction, this remark reversed black and white Hoggist didn't get angry when he heard it, just glanced at Parsons contemptuously, didn't argue with him, and said directly: "Phew, stinky and shameless!" ”
Parsons heard Haugist's direct insults, but he was anxious first, "What did you say?" Do you dare to say it again? ”
"What about saying it ten times again? You're shameless, we'll call you Mr. Shameless from now on. ”
"You!" Parsons' eyes widened in rage, "I'll kill you!" ”
Hoggist said to Joseph, who was also recording on his mobile phone: "Record this and call the police later to say that he threatens to kill me." ”
"You!" Parsons was about to vomit blood, "Let's start fighting, stop talking nonsense, I can't help but want to torture you on the court!" ”
There was another sharp sound of brakes, and Qiu Jingli drove Mopar to the court, still dressed as she did that day, but with thicker makeup and flaming red lips, it was doubly sexy. Qiu Jingli got out of the car and waved at Haojist, shouting from afar: "Honey, I'm not late!" ”
Hogist also beckoned, and Qiu Jingli trotted all the way over, hugging Hoggist's neck in front of everyone and kissing him heavily on the cheek, leaving a big lipstick mark.
Parsons was even more furious when he saw that the beautiful woman he couldn't accosted showed affection to Haugist in front of him, and before he could say more, Qiu Jingli turned his head, also glared at him, and said in the same tone: "Bah, stinky and shameless, you accosted me twice in Renault City, and you have clearly rejected you, and you are still brazen to chase Vegas." It's shameless for a senior to compete in basketball with my boyfriend in his first year of high school! Honey, give him a little color! ”
Parsons laughed angrily: "Hahaha, okay, I'm going to see how your boyfriend teaches me, I won't show mercy on the court later, I'm going to blow him up!" Let him never play basketball again. ”
"WOW, Mr. Shameless, you're really ruthless! But don't worry, no matter how provocative you are, I will still show mercy and will not break your basketball dream, but after today's game, it is estimated that your draft pick will fall to the second round, you have to be mentally prepared! Hoggist scoffed.
Parsons stopped talking, just staring at Haugist with blood-red eyes, as if he wanted to incinerate Haugist to ashes with the fury from his eyes.
Bennett calmed down, stepped forward to separate Parsons and Haugist, and turned his face to ask Hoggist, "Have you asked for foreign help?" Don't say I didn't give you a chance, college students and adults are allowed to invite you, or even both, you can't blame me if you don't get it. ”
"What are you kidding, I have such a wide circle of friends, and I can't invite anyone? I'm the biggest friend in my league, LeBron Brown. James is here, don't cry if you get beaten out of by him later! Hoggist said with a smile.
"What!" Bennett's legs weakened when they heard this, and several people supported each other to stand firmly. Parsons suddenly reacted, took out his mobile phone, and checked today's schedule, the Heat were going to challenge the Bulls in Chicago in the evening, and LeBron didn't have time to come to Vegas to help Hougist, so he came to his senses and yelled at Hoggist: "You dare to play us!" The Heat are playing away from home in Chicago today, and there's no way LeBron is coming to help you! Don't bluff! ”
Hoggist smiled even brighter, "I'm just playing with you, it's funny to see your scared looks." Seriously, do you still need to hire a star against the three of you? The Development Alliance's random friends are enough to win you over. ”
At this time, Bennett noticed Jeremy Lin, who was still practicing shooting in earnest. Bennett scoffed: "If you can't find anyone, just tell us directly, we may agree to use the high school lineup to fight you without Parsons, why bother to find a random Chinese to make up the numbers?" ”
"Really? Then I'll admit that I can't find anyone, so let's use the high school lineup to face off, right? Hougist followed Bennett's words.
"Uh......" Bennett didn't expect that Hougist didn't refute, but followed his own words, and wondered in his heart, could the helper he asked really make up the numbers? Why doesn't he brag about it, but is willing to do a duel with foreign aid? Thinking of this, Bennett hurriedly changed his words: "Originally, I really wanted to have a duel with you between high school students, but this Mr. Parsons seems to have a good time with you, and I am afraid that Mr. Parsons will not agree if he does not have foreign aid." ”
"I'm kidding you, I won't be angry if I don't solve the two of you together!" Hougist's tone grew more and more contemptuous.
"Stop fighting with words! Who kicks off first? Parsons asked.
"Ladies first." Haugist made a gesture of please.
Hearing this, Parsons is not open with the ball, nor is it not open. Annoyed, Bennett snatched the ball and smashed it on Hoggist, saying hatefully, "You kick off first!" ”
Horgist was not in a hurry, holding the ball to the top of the arc and saying, "The ladies have given up their priorities. ”
Parsons and Bennett both wanted to come up and beat up Hougist, but Ronde. Hollis Jefferson pulled them down, "I said brothers, can you play well?" Anthony, I didn't promise you to play for you, but I didn't come to listen to your bickering! We are stronger than them, and if we teach them a lesson on the court, they can only talk about it. ”
The two held back their anger and took up their defensive positions, Parsons stuck to Devin on the inside, Bennett stepped back from inside the wing three-point line to stare at Jeremy Lin, and Hollis Jefferson disrupted Hougist's kick-off at the top of the arc.
Hougist distributed the ball to Jeremy Lin on the flank, and he silently pulled to the bottom corner of the weak side to watch the bookmaker perform. Jeremy Lin came to the top of the arc with the ball, ready to break through Bennett's defense head-on. Bennett didn't know the details of Jeremy Lin, but just now I saw that his shooting arc was very high and relatively accurate when he warmed up, so he didn't dare to go too far.
Jeremy Lin dribbled and suddenly accelerated to the right to break through, just took a step and then changed direction to a stop, handed the ball to the left hand and dribbled twice, and then accelerated to the right to break through, this series of actions shook Bennett to a daze, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Jeremy Lin changed to an emergency stop again, and at the same time said: "Onyourknees!" ”
This change of direction and emergency stop completely shook Bennett's center of gravity, Bennett had no roots under his feet, and after eating this moment, he crawled straight to his knees, Jeremy Lin jumped and shot, and hit a shot steadily, the picture seemed to be Bennett worshiping Jeremy Lin's shot. Joseph and Qiu Jingli on the field couldn't help but scream and cheer.
