Chapter 251: Eating the Bitter Fruit

"Do you really think of yourself as The Big O? I still want to get three doubles every time! "Nick. Yang said disapprovingly.

"I naturally have the strength of averaging a triple-double per game, and whether I want to take it or not depends on my mood, and my heart tells me that he really wants to cut a triple-double on Rondo's head! Of course, I had to do what I wanted to do. Hougist said triumphantly.

"It's good for young people to be ambitious, but don't be arrogant!" Kobe Bryant, who was sitting next to Haugist, took off his headphones and said: "Rajan is one of the guards I admire the most, he has a tough style of play, he has a good sense of the big picture, he thinks clearly on the court, and his attitude is always the most positive, and I still often recall the scenes when I played them in the finals in '08 and '09. So don't be too careless, he's not as easy to deal with as the Timberwolves' playoff debuts who haven't been through the big game! ”

"You're right, Boss, so I've decided to play the No. 3 position tomorrow against Rudy. Guy! Leading everyone to forget yesterday's prank, Hoggist returned to his humorous nature and joked with everyone.

"What? Am I not going to play as a substitute? Randall exclaimed in surprise.

"What are you screaming about? You're a sophomore who has only played two NBA games, so it's nice to have consistent playing time, so don't care so much about whether you're a starter or not, okay? Ci Shiping scoffed.

"Hoggist and Turner are both first-year rookies, so why are they both so stable in the starting position?" Randall retorted.

"Silly boy, that's because Hoggist and Turner are the strongest players in that position, and which position does Haugist play and is not a starter?" Ci Shiping's truth pierced his heart.

However, Randle is also a man with brains, and he immediately thought of Lacoby blocking the gun, "Can Hougist be the starting SG?" ”

Ci Shiping was choked by Randle, but Kobe Bryant replied first: "Of course you can, I don't mind!" ”

"This ......" Kobe's answer is equivalent to having appointed Hougist as his successor, and Randle naturally has nothing to say.

Seeing that everyone's discussion was a bit off-topic, Hoggist hurriedly explained with a smile: "Why don't you have humor cells? Isn't it a joke that I'm afraid of a defender who defends well when I run to play the number 3 position? I'm just joking in the No. 3 position, but I'll be playing the No. 1 position tomorrow! Unless I meet a strong player like LeBron, Kawai or KD, I will play the No. 3 position! ”

Randall let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, but thinking about Hougist's ambition, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "I didn't expect you to be a madman, specifically picking the strongest point of the other party to match!" ”

"That's why I'm in the starting line-up! Who wouldn't like a player like me who has a positive attitude both offensively and defensively? Hoggist shrugged his shoulders confidently.

"Although you played well in the first game and broke a lot of records, you can't underestimate other teams! Based on your performance last night, the video editors of the remaining 29 teams in the league must have already started to analyze your technical characteristics and make targeted adjustments, so I think you might as well be careful! Coach K reminded on the side.

However, J.J. Oterlo, the assistant coach of the team, suddenly jumped out and slapped Coach K in the face, "I have cut the part of yesterday's game video about Hoggist, and I regret to tell you that I have not found any shortcomings in Horgist, it may be that an easy victory is not enough to expose the shortcomings, or it may be that he has no technical flaws, in short, there is no need to worry about Horgist's being targeted at present." ”

"Looks like I can continue to do whatever I want in tomorrow's game, right?" Hougist said proudly.

"That's not going to work, isn't your ankle sprained? I'm still thinking about DNP you! Coach K said hesitantly.

Hougist knew that this was self-defeating, pretending to be injured and skipping training to make the coach believe it, Hoggist had to use a lie to explain another lie, "Do ice tomorrow, and wrap the bandage tighter, the foot is not a big problem, I can solve the Kings with one foot!" ”

Old K thought about it again and again before reluctantly agreeing, "Okay, but I need Dr. Fan to evaluate your injury, and you will also be limited to playing time during this time, and the ban will not be lifted until the injury is completely healed." ”

"Huh...... All right! Haugist couldn't argue, after all, if he said a few more words, he would be afraid that he would leak out about the fraud, which was a serious crime in the eyes of his teammates and coaches.

Sure enough, because of the forced ice on his healthy ankle, Hoggist felt very uncomfortable, the whole ankle seemed to be numb and unconscious, and he behaved like he really broke his foot on the court, and was replaced after just 5 minutes in the first quarter of the game the next day, Hoggist only scored 3 points on 1 of 4 shots, but fortunately, there were 4 assists and 3 rebounds in the account, and the data is reasonable, Rao is like this, and there are also many Lakers fans on the Internet who began to discuss why Hoggist's state has declined so much while watching the live broadcast.

"Is Hoggist at the peak of his debut, and he wilted after one game?" Someone questioned.

"He's been strong from high school until the day before yesterday, and today he is also the short guard he is best at dealing with, how can he suddenly wilt? I think he's obviously retained, right? Today he was just shooting outside, and how sharp he broke through in the last game! There wasn't even a single attempt in this game, which is clearly problematic! Some attribute this phenomenon to Hoggist's own reservations.

However, some people have watched more news, knowing that Hogist sprained his ankle in training the day before, and defended him: "You don't pay attention to the news of my lake, and you dare to claim to be Lakers fans?" Hoggist sprained his ankle at the beginning of yesterday's training session and was still on ice before today's game! And it can be clearly seen that the bandage on his right ankle is much thicker! If you don't break through today, it's definitely because of this reason! ”

"Wow, how do you know so clearly? If you really twist your ankle and still have 3 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds in 7 minutes, it is also very strong, and you can get a triple-double if you maintain this efficiency throughout the game! Getting a triple-double on one foot is not worse than Rondo's one-armed 6 points, 11 assists and 3 rebounds! After knowing the "truth", netizens who had misunderstood before couldn't help but blow back another wave of Hoggist.

Netizens who have seen the news proudly introduced: "Zhenhu Honey, please pay attention to @ and the account of the beautiful reporter @Winters, there are many weekday news in my lake!" ”

Hogist returned to the field and saw the ice pack handed by Fan Xiaohong with tears coming down, and whispered in Chinese: "Old Fan, spare me!" You know my ankle is fine! ”

"Nothing? You're limping around the field and saying it's okay? If you had been able to deal with the symptoms in time yesterday, you wouldn't have played so badly today! Fan Xiaohong said reproachfully.

"Why did I play so badly, don't you have a little count in your heart? The ice pack made my whole ankle numb, and that's not all, the bandage was so tight that my entire right foot was bleeding and necrotic! If I can't exert my strength without consciousness, can I not be lame? Hougist said angrily, "I told you that I was pretending, and you just gave me the meaning, why do you have to be real?" ”

Fan Xiaohong's mind turned, he thought of a way, and pretended to say in English: "Come on, come on, let a few of these guys sitting in the bottom corner, move a place for Hoggist, and I'll massage his feet!" ”

At the end of the bench, the area outside the bottom corner of the court is generally vacated for players to do a temporary massage to relieve injuries and fatigue, sometimes the team has too many benches to sit on the bench, and there will be people sitting there, Fan Xiaohong asked Hoggist to sit on the floor, took off his shoes, removed the bandage, and began to massage him, to relieve the numbness of his right foot.

Turner, who was also substituted, sat on the side and hurriedly stopped Fan Xiaohong, "Dr. Fan, didn't you have a massage on your feet a few days ago?" It will destroy the blood vessels that have just healed and make the hematoma worse! How could you be such an amateur......"

"Boy, you don't understand this, we are a traditional Chinese medicine technique, there is an internal force in it, not only will it not damage his blood vessels, but it will accelerate the absorption of his hematoma!" Fan Xiaohong directly used the name of traditional Chinese medicine to fool Turner.

"Wow, the mystical power of the East is amazing! Can you make me feel it next time I'm injured? The simple Turner was fooled like this, but his wish to feel Fan Xiaohong's internal strength was afraid that he would never have a chance to come true.

Through massage to accelerate blood circulation, Hougist's right foot gradually returned to normal, because the massage therapy missed the entire second quarter, and the Lakers also trailed by 12 points at 49:61.

Lakers fans who learned about Howgist's injury at halftime thought that his absence in the second quarter was because he had forced him to play before and exacerbated the injury, but in the locker room, Fan Xiaohong was using his reputation to repeatedly reassure Coach K that Howgist had fully recovered.

Shashewski finally reluctantly believed Dr. Fan's assurance, and agreed to let Hoggist start in the second half to see first, and the two who got the guarantee breathed a sigh of relief, Fan Xiaohong glared at Haugist and scolded in Sichuan: "Dead baby, don't let Lao Tzu help you leave another one in two days, you know?" ”

When Hoggist started in the second half, many fans who cared about Hogist breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, many fans who had just followed the account of Lakers Nation and beautiful reporter Winters Titter also received such a push: "Breaking: The Lakers center confirmed that Hougist's ankle has been healed by a mysterious force from the East. ”

"What is the mystical power of the East?" Many American fans are at a loss.

"If someone knows about it easily, it probably won't be a mysterious power, right?" Some people comfort themselves like this.

Fans who watched the game across time zones in China were also puzzled when they saw this news, the mysterious power of the East? Is it a massage? Yesterday, I twisted the foot massage, isn't it getting more and more serious? Is it acupuncture? The effect is not so fast! Is it cupping? Never heard of cupping ankles! By the way, there is such a phenomenon in the forum, generally the players and teams who are forcibly blown will fall against the trend, which is called poisoned milk; And most of the players who are on the black list of Tiger Fight or are too much to be hacked in the wet will usher in a rebound, and the domestic excessive promotion or depreciation of NBA players to achieve the opposite effect is called a mysterious force from the East, is it that someone on the forum is black Helianwu?

At this moment, Chinese and American fans reached an unprecedented high degree of unanimity on the doubts about the state of Hoggist's honey. Stop playing dead, Haugist doesn't know how much traffic the topic of his injury has generated in the online world, and he is currently interested in talking to Nick. Young's boasted triple-double and the rebound-and-rebound goals agreed with Embiid have yet to materialize.

The Lakers kicked off, and Hoggist decisively dribbled the ball inside, bypassing Cousins like last night's Cousins and shooting a step-back jumper from behind the basket to hit an identical shot.

This ball was very exciting, and it was a forced difficulty to add drama to himself, which made the Kings fans in the Sleep Train Arena can't help but exclaim, but it also annoyed the grumpy Cousins, "Are you kidding me?" ”

Hoggist knew Cousins's upright and recklessness, and wanted to take the initiative to avoid conflict, so he raised his hands and made a surrender gesture, "Please, your defense is too tight, I really don't have a chance to make a move, I can only make a desperate bet and let go, and I don't mean to play with you!" ”

The referee also knew that Cousins was like a time bomb on the field, so he also paid more attention to his state during the game, and when he saw Horgist raise his hands, he was afraid of another conflict, so he walked to the two with a whistle.

Hougist hurriedly waved his hand, "We're just chatting with each other, goodbye!" ”

With that, Hoggist ran to the backcourt. Embiid in front of the TV was very excited to see Howgist score, and when he saw Cousins coming up behind him, he hoped that the world would not be chaotic. As a result, when he saw Hogist admit his cowardice and run away, he was disappointed, "Don't coward, do it with him!" How can you be the boss of the team if you are not tough? ”

Hoggist didn't want to prove himself tough in this way, and Rondo was on the verge of double-doubles in assists and rebounds, and he had to not only step up his pursuit of him, but also slow down his statistic upswing. Rondo's dribble is not good for tackles, so interfere with his passing!

Hoggist successfully predicted Rondo's passing intention many times to intercept the pass and launch a fast-break counterattack, and soon scored 8 points in a row, and after attracting the bag, he began to block and dismantle with Turner and Yi Jianlian, and after the third quarter, the Lakers overtook the score at 81:78, and Hougist also "suddenly" recovered the brave state of the day before yesterday, and scored 15 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds and 6 steals in the whole quarter. Now Hoggist has scored 18 points and 11 assists, but the rebounds are still 4 short of a triple-double, but there is still a quarter to go, and with his height, it is not a problem to seriously brush 4 rebounds. However, this steal was also only four short, and Hougist had a bold idea in his mind while sitting on the bench.
