Chapter 398: Fake News Haunted
"Thank you for this philosophical nonsense, there is no difference between what is said and what is not said, so what is the situation now? Can Hougist play in the evening game? How exactly should my roster be written? Old Coach K rolled his eyes and questioned Kobe.
"Of course, it is up to him to decide whether Hogist can go on or not, and ask me what I do?" Kobe Bryant said with a wicked smile at this time.
"So he's passed your pervert test? Only passed it for the third time? Didn't you say you'd keep getting harder? It doesn't look that difficult! Coach K was very excited at first, but soon calmed down and questioned the difficulty of Kobe's training.
Hogist sat on the bed and looked at Shashevsky with an unhappy expression, "It's hellish training, I hope you can describe my training correctly, the statement that passed the pervert test sounds awkward, it feels like it's testing whether I'm a pervert or not." β
"It doesn't matter how I say it, whether you really finished training is the most important question now, so you hurry up and be honest, have you completed the training and got Kobe's permission to play?" Shashefsky looked at Haugist expectantly.
Hougist smiled and waved his hand, got up from the bed and greeted a few people in the room, "Let's go quickly, isn't it already late?" β
"Hey, how dare you sell it to me? I really don't lead it! Beware of my ban on you tonight! Coach K warned.
"Yes, you're going to ban me, so what does it matter if I finish training or not? So don't think about it so much, with me or without me, you can definitely play a good victory! Haugist smiled and squeezed Shashewski's shoulder, "After all, you are such a great character, and Charlotte is equivalent to half of your home field, I believe that today will be a very wonderful night!" β
"Then I see what you mean, let's go!" Shakeszewski nodded and walked out of the room.
Hougist spread his hands, "What do you understand?" Why don't I understand what I mean? β
"Oh, hurry up and get old, Lang Gai is talking a lot of nonsense." Dr. Fan Xiaohong's Trump unknowingly popped up again.
The teammates on the bus gave strange glances, and Hougist smiled and sat down casually. Randall wanted to come up and talk, but Hougist took the initiative to "remind" his teammates, "You are welcome to take the Greyhound chartered bus, our bus is about to depart, please open the light visor, fasten the seat belt, put away the small table, straighten the seat back, thank you for your cooperation, we will serve you wholeheartedly." β
"You're insane, where did you get the visor for the bus?" Randall cursed and sat back in his place. When they arrived at the stadium, Randall caught up with Haugist and asked tentatively, "Are you going to show the results of your training tonight?" β
"Of course, I'll surprise the fans when I shoot in the warm-up, and Curry's coquettish three-point shooting in the warm-up is coming to an end tonight!" Hougist smirked.
"What about the game?" Randall asked.
That's when Nick. Yang also followed, and after Kobe's prodding, he is now in a very positive mood, completely different from Randle's panic, "You can watch me perform in the game!" Look at your six gods and no owner, is Haugist your father? If he can't play, let him rest and train in peace, and let me, a veteran, carry you tonight! β
"Don't brag, I don't know how many pounds and taels you have? You better change your clothes and warm up, veteran, be careful that your old waist flashes in the game when you don't move! Randall didn't buy Nick at all. Yang's account, seeing that Hogist was far away, trotted after him again.
And the reporters in the players' tunnel saw that Hoggist and his teammates were talking, laughing and swaggering over, so they naturally pointed all the cameras at him, and some reporters asked loudly: "Hoggist, why didn't you play last night?" What's going on in the morning? I heard you were unconscious! β
"You reporters are exaggerating too much now, aren't they?? Sleeping is called a coma? So if I sweat a lot while playing, is it called dehydration? Hougist deliberately changed a few photo poses, "Come on, come on, you guys just take more photos, don't keep thinking about digging up those lace news, pay more attention to the performance of our whole team in the game, okay?" β
"So will you play tonight?" A reporter asked.
"It's not up to me to decide the arrangement, everything has to be arranged by the coach, so we must closely unite around the center of the team with Comrade Shashewski as the head coach, hold high the magic ball theory and the important idea of "three points are one point more than two", fully implement the overall situation of the court, further strengthen the construction of the ball, and make greater contributions to the construction of a championship-level team!" Haugist directly paraphrased the most commonly heard passage in the news to dismiss the reporter.
The teammates in the locker room were relieved to see Haugist put on his training uniform. Yang was a little disappointed, thinking to himself, why is Kobe Bryant fooling me? Didn't you say that you would see how I performed today?
Hua'an equipped everyone to the field for warm-up training, Kobe Bryant took out a black mask and handed it to Haugist, "Put it on and try it, this is specially customized for you!" β
Although his teammates didn't know what was going on, they understood when they saw that the all-black half-face mask didn't have any openings, which was prepared for Hoggist to show his ability to shoot threes in the dark! Hoggist walked to the top of the arc and put his mask on, so that no light came in. Taking the ball that Jeremy Lin stuffed into his hand, Haugist threw it out directly, and the ball hit hollow.
In the second and third, Hoggist made 10 consecutive three-pointers at the top of the arc while wearing a mask. As the clock approached 7 p.m., there were already a lot of fans entering the court, and there were a lot of photographers sitting on the sidelines, and when Haugist first started to put on a mask and shoot threes, the audience and reporters didn't pay much attention, but when the ball kept brushing through the basket, everyone's attention was grabbed.
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with Hoggist's body! Three points is still so accurate. Aren't we going to get cold tonight? There were Charlotte fans who exclaimed.
Some fans were observant and saw at a glance that Hoggist's face was a little weird, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why does Hoggist wear such a strange mask?" Did he have a broken face in training before? This position is not easy to get hurt! Could it be that he really had a conflict with his teammates and was beaten by his teammates as rumored on the Internet? β
"You're too big in the brain, Hoggist is the team's most favored and protected player, how can he be beaten like this by other teammates? And you see that there is obviously no problem with the relationship between them! β
"What do I think of his face as a little strange?"
"What's weird? Isn't it just a little darker? β
"It's not just black, why doesn't he seem to have eyes on his mask?"
"What do you mean by not having eyes?"
"If you look closely, his mask has no holes in his eyes, isn't wearing this mask equivalent to being blind?"
This observant fan screamed, so that many reporters also discovered the mystery, and they pulled the camera to the nearest and took a closer look. Hoggist slid his mask above his head and was secretly proud when he saw the commotion of fans and reporters on the sidelines, but Kobe Bryant, who was in a suit and leather shoes on the sidelines, reminded: "You're not at the level of showing off your skills, are you?" Please pay attention to warming up. β
Hoggist stuck out his tongue and came to the corner to put his mask back on, continuing to focus on his shooting practice. And his newly exposed "magical ability" continues to attract the attention of fans and the media. So after Hougist "fell into a coma", a second strange news about him appeared.
"What black technology? Horgist's hit rate skyrocketed after putting on the mask", hey buddy, what the hell is this news? Ingram's roommate was sitting in the classroom and was doing nothing when he saw such a piece of news.
"Brother, can't you listen carefully? Why did I refuse Hoggist's invitation to bring you to Professor Langdon's lecture? Ingram looked at his roommate helplessly, "I'm already destined to become a professional player, I know that some things are more important than basketball, you are an amateur player who has played two years on the school team and the total playing time is not as good as mine, can't you calm down and improve your cultural level?" β
Ingram's roommate shook his head, "I know that semiotics is a very interesting subject, and the unpopular knowledge points in it are very useful whether it is daily pretending or bubble girls, and it is definitely worth declining a regular season game to study specifically, but this news is too exciting, this is not the boring fake news in the morning, this time there are high-definition pictures and videos to prove it!" β
"Boring, I don't want to read the content when I hear the name of this kind of title party! Also, reporters would do well to explain what the rumors of 'Haugist in a coma with serious injuries' rumored in the morning are all about. Ingram showed disdain for unscrupulous media.
"Yes, yes, there are all the news you want on the Internet, the reporter said, in the players' tunnel, Haugist responded to the fake news in the morning, saying that he was just too tired from training to catch up on sleep. The absence from the game the day before was probably due to too much fatigue from training. Ingram's roommate flipped through the news and explained to him.
"I can barely accept this statement, but the news you said is too, all black technology comes out, doesn't it mean that Hoggist is just overtired from training? Why do you want to wear a mask again? Isn't it common to wear a mask if you have a facial fracture? Wasn't he really elbowed by a teammate? Ingram quickly spotted the illogical.
"This mask is not the kind of mask worn by Kobe LeBron or Hamilton before, this mask is a whole, and there are no holes in the eyes! It stands to reason that you should not be able to see anything when you wear this kind of mask, I don't know why Hoggist put on this mask and shoots three points but hits 100 shots, oh, you see......" The roommate handed the phone to Yinggoram.
Ingram took the phone, first clicked on the picture to enlarge it, and saw that Horgist's mask was really covering his eyes, which looked very strange, and then watching the video below, Horgist repeated the shooting action without distraction under the spotlight of the Warner Times Center, and the ball also repeated the same route and angle flying into the basket.
"What the hell is this?" Ingram couldn't sit still after watching the video, this is a video sent back by an ESPN reporter from the scene, and it is definitely not a special effect, which is equivalent to a crazy three-point goal blindfolded by Hoggist, which is simply terrible, Curry's kind of player tunnel and half-court ultra-long three-point shooting is still possible through training, but Hoggist's shooting method is impossible to practice, right? If you can shoot like this, what's the point of defending and interfering with his shots other than blocking?
"That's why everyone speculates that there is a problem with his face, it must be some kind of black technology product, similar to Iron Man's mask, it seems that you can't see anything by covering your eyes, but in fact, there is a screen inside, and there are some auxiliary aiming functions!" The roommate analyzed.
"Don't be funny, this kind of thing is only found in games and movies, how can technology be so advanced now? Google Glass doesn't have this function, and besides, what's the point of Hougist's warm-up before the game to play with this kind of technology product? Advertise? Ingram disagreed with this analysis, and he searched for it, but he didn't find any companies ready to launch similar products, so he said firmly: "You see there is no news of this kind of high-tech product at all, and if there is such a thing, won't the Internet turn the world upside down?" And I've played against Hoggist, and I don't have the slightest doubt that Hoggist can hit a three-point shot with his eyes covered. β
Ingram's roommate had obvious doubts in his eyes, "I don't doubt that blindfolding can hit, but this hit rate is too exaggerated, right?" Seriously, it's scary to be able to shoot this hit rate without covering your eyes! β
"You're still underestimating a professional player, and I can shoot garbage without pressure, and I can make 10 consecutive three-point shots at the top of the arc, but Hougist's blindfold is really appalling, and I really regret not going to the game now!" Ingram pouted, "If that's the case, I can understand why Hougist can be so tired of training that he can't even play in official games, and if he changes someone else, I'm afraid he won't be able to practice to this extent." β
"Then it's too late for us to go to the scene, right? There is still 1 hour left before the game starts, you can hurry up and we can catch up, anyway, the two of us chatting in the first row have already provoked public anger, you see that the extremely cultivated Professor Langdon seems to have wanted to beat us up for a long time! The roommate pointed to the angry classmates around him and said to Ingram in embarrassment.
"I don't mean to beat you up, this Hougist is the fiancΓ© of one of my students, I have heard about him, but I didn't expect him to be so famous in the United States!" Professor Langdon, who is Qiu's graduate supervisor, will leave for China after the Duke lecture to work with Qiu's mother on a collaborative project on the interpretation of Tangut characters.
