Chapter 399: An Unexpected Recruitment

"A great professor like yours who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world knows Hoggist? It seems that he has a high degree of nationality! Ingram's roommate actually started talking to Professor Langdon.

Ingram tugged at his roommate, "Don't be ashamed! I actually talked to Professor Langdon, let's hurry up, don't delay everyone's time! ”

Professor Langdon didn't mind, and actually continued to talk to Ingram's roommate, "He's not just famous in the basketball world, his family is the subject of my recent research, and the shoes he wore for the Christmas game have his family's words on them, which few people know now." ”

Listening to Professor Langdon's words, Ingram's roommate proudly took out the sneakers that Hougist had given them from his school bag, "The sneakers for the Christmas War?" Is it this pair? He gave it to us! ”

Seeing the mocking eyes of hundreds of classmates in the back row, Ingram hurriedly wrapped his schoolbag over his roommate's shoes and asked in a low voice, "Are you sick, why do you still put the shoes given by Haugist on your back?" It's really embarrassing to take it out at this time! ”

Ingram's roommate said confidently: "What are you kidding, of course you have to carry such a valuable thing with you!" Who's the one if you lose it in the dormitory? ”

Professor Langdon also stopped Ingram with a smile, took the shoe and looked at it for a moment, shook his head and returned it to Ingram's roommate, "It's not this pair, it's the pure white pair with the text on the sole." Alright, go ahead, don't delay the game, and you're welcome to listen to it the next time I have the opportunity to speak the Haugist family text. ”

Ingram got up and bowed apologetically to Professor Langdon and the other classmates, but his roommate couldn't wait to put on his shoes, put his schoolbag on his back and ran out, "Let's go, I'll be waiting for you in the parking lot!" ”

"It's embarrassing!" Ingram's face turned black and red, and he exited the classroom in a bowing posture almost all the time.

On the court, Haugist had already made 10 three-pointers blindfolded from five positions, hitting all of them at the top of the arc and in the corner, missing two shots on each of the two wings, and completed the warm-up trial with an astonishing 50-of-54 shooting percentage. If it weren't for the security personnel who were carrying the robbery, some reporters would have rushed into the venue to interview Hoggist.

The Hornets players were supposed to warm up on their own in the other half, but the uproar of the fans and the media attracted them, and after looking back, they watched Hoggist's warm-up shot inexplicably, thinking that it was just a very ordinary three-point exercise, and did not understand why their own fans would be surprised to this extent, Hougist's fellow rookie Kaminsky leaned close to the Lakers' side of the half court and began to take a closer look.

In the same draft, Nance Jr. came up, "Come to spy on the military, brother?" ”

"Don't say it so ugly, who let that great god do things on my home turf! We all want to know what the hell is going on to make the home fans go crazy for him before the game even starts? Kaminsky asked curiously.

"Hehe, this is the result of three consecutive days of special training for that great god, and for this reason, we also sacrificed yesterday's game! You've been a little unlucky, catching up with the new skills developed by our great god! Little Nance laughed lewdly.

Kaminsky smiled wryly and shook his head, "Aren't you bullying people, and you still have to develop new skills at this level of Haugist?" Don't give us a way to live! ”

"It's been almost half a season, and I can see some things, the power of example is really endless, a veteran training maniac like Kobe Bryant should be a rookie's nightmare, just like Garnett scolded a crying baby in training, I even expected how difficult it would be for our three rookies plus Julius to be a quasi-rookie this season after being drafted by the Lakers, in fact, Kobe's requirements are indeed very strict, but I didn't feel how difficult it was, all because of Hougist." Little Nance's eyes were full of gratitude, "He is also a rookie, he is still the champion, and his strength is far above the other three of us, but Kobe Bryant is more strict with him, and the amount of training given to us is almost doubled to Haugist, but he has never complained, and he has done it very well, and he is in the same training gym, if I have the slightest slack in my heart, I will feel self-blame, follow Haugist, you will find that hard work is so simple, I think this is the power of example!" ”

"O, what an impressive presentation! If you put on a suit and tie, lean forward and hold your hands on the podium and say this with red eyes, I will be even more moved! Kaminsky pouted, "So what the hell is Haugist doing?" ”

Hoggist completed the shooting training, and when he saw Kaminsky chatting with Nance Jr., he naturally understood his intentions, Kobe Bryant gave him this mask so that he could give the opponent some psychological blows before the game. Therefore, the first army to fight, the second to fight, the second to attack the army, and the next siege, can make the opponent shake before the game, and make it easier for him to play the desired tactical cooperation in the game.

So Hoggist leaned in and handed the mask to Nance Jr., "Larry, hold this mask for me, I'll practice free throws for a while." ”

In fact, why is it necessary to give the mask to others when practicing free throws? Wouldn't it be nice to pull it on top of your head like you just did? If you really want to take it off, can't you give Kobe Bryant, who is wearing a suit and directing everyone to warm up on the sidelines in today's truce? There are so many 10,000-year-old water dispensers that you can help him get when he is idle, why do you have to give it to Little Nance?

Of course, it was so that someone on the Hornets could confirm with their own eyes that Hoggist's mask was indeed covering his eyes, and to let the Hornets players know that Hoggist scored three points out of sight. Hougist has gone beyond the common sense of physics, and what could shake the Hornet's military spirit more than that?

Sure enough, before Nance could hold it firmly, the mask was snatched by Kaminsky, "Let me see what the hell this is?" This ......"

Cummings took the mask and looked at it carefully, and was stunned for a moment, although the material of this mask is very solid, it is high-strength carbon fiber, and the workmanship is also very fine, it can be seen that it is handmade by the master, but this is clearly a semi-finished product! There is no opening in the position of the eyes at all, and it is impossible to see the outside with such a mask! Hougist was really wearing this mask just now...... No, did he just shoot with this mask on?

Kaminski's mental state was shocked, and he shoved the mask back into Nance Jr.'s hand in despair, and walked back to the Hornets bench to sit in his chair. Several teammates gathered around and asked about the situation.

"Is there anything peculiar about that noodle? Why are the fans like crazy? Batum asked in a strong French-accented English.

"The mask...... Can not see! Kaminsky said weakly.

Kemba. Walker patted Kaminsky on the shoulder, "Little comrade, isn't it okay for a rookie to play a lot of big guys like this?" You stared at it for a long time with a mask just now, and your eyes were straight, and now tell me that you didn't see it? ”

Kaminsky smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's not that I didn't see it, it's that the mask can't see ......"

"What's the difference? Do you know what you're talking about? Batum didn't understand Kaminsky at all.

"I mean, he can't see anything when he puts the mask on, it's not a mask, it's an eye patch! He made 50 three-pointers and couldn't see the basket at all! Kaminsky's eyes were full of despair.

"You're saying he was just showing the fans a blindfold shot? And this kind of operation? If he's really that strong, what are we going to fight? Surrender and admit defeat! Walker glared at Kaminsky with a displeased expression, "Your joke isn't funny at all, you'll be punished for buying burgers after tonight's game!" ”

Kaminski sighed, "Well, I hope you're really in the mood for a burger after the game......"

"He doesn't look like he's joking with us!" Batum hesitated.

"You're scared by his acting! Even if his expression is disguised, he still has to pay attention to the Basic Law, right? Do you really believe that someone can shoot unlimited threes blindfolded? His shooting percentage is reversed, 4 out of 54 is still possible, 50 out of 54? Definitely there is a problem! Walker confidently gave Batum an analysis of the situation.

Batum thought for a long time in disbelief, nodded and said, "What you said seems to make sense." ”

"So don't be distracted by such small things, let's keep warming up and everyone has to be fully active to avoid getting injured during the game!" Walker waved his hand and commanded his teammates to continue to warm up, which was considered to stabilize morale temporarily, but at the same time, he himself muttered a little in his heart, whether people joke whether they are bluffing people or being recognized, they usually admit that they are joking, and then laugh together for a while, this is the standard process of a joke, but Frank is still gray, it really doesn't look like he is joking, but what he said is really incredible, too unbelievable!

Walker thought of this and secretly observed Hoggist, it seemed that he was not unusual, it stands to reason that he has practiced such a "peerless magic skill", he should be proud, and he should not be as calm as Hoggist. Walker smiled and shook his head, he wished he was too careful!

"What's going on? Looks like they're not scared by you! Randall whispered beside Haugist.

"That's not necessarily, but doubt is a seed, as long as it is planted, sooner or later it will take root and sprout and break through the ground, and the longer it is buried, the more developed the root system will be, and the power of growth will be stronger, the more they don't believe it now, the more damage they will suffer in the game!" ”

"What did you study in college?" Is it really early childhood education? Randall suddenly looked at Hougist suspiciously.

"yes, what's there to doubt about that?" Hougist felt a little baffled.

Randall shook his head, "I think you're more of a Doctor of Psychology, and it's scary to see how well you grasp other people's mindsets, which reminds me of the dark side of the Force, where you're like Palpatine Supreme Speaker seducing Skywalker, playing with your opponent's psyche in the palm of your hand." ”

"Uh, at least I'm not that ugly, am I?" Hoggist spread his hands, took the ball from the staff, and hit another mid-range shot.

After the warm-up, Hoggist walked back with a towel and before entering the locker room, he heard what appeared to be an argument between someone and security at the corner at the end of the tunnel, and looked at Ingram and his roommate.

Hougist stepped forward, and the argument between Ingram and the stadium security officer seemed to be serious, and the security officer's hand was already on the holster, "I warn you one last time, this is the players' tunnel, only the infield spectators and players can use it during the game, if you leave now, I can not hold you accountable for pretending to be the player's relatives and friends, if you don't leave again, I will raise the gun!" You don't inquire, I don't rub sand in my eyes, I've been here for 10 years, and no one has ever been able to fool me around! There's no way anyone can rush past me! ”

"I'm also emphasising, I'm not pretending to be anyone, I'm a friend of Hougist, he invited me to watch the game, I've already contacted him, now they may be warming up, and when he finishes warming up, he will send someone out to pick me up when he sees his phone! I didn't try to force my way in, I didn't plan to sneak in, I just wanted to see where behind you were and saw if they were done warming up! Ingram argued.

"Now that I'm here, you can stop arguing!" Hoggist peeked out of the corner and smiled and persuaded.

"Hey, Haugie, are you ready to play with this stance?" Ingram excitedly greeted Hoggist, and then said to the security personnel proudly, "I said I was a friend of Hoggist!" ”

"Wait, who's going to prove he's Haugist?" Brad still looked serious, "You can't just come out of the infield and bring you in, right?" ”

Ingram was a little dumbfounded, "Who can prove he's Haugist?" Don't you know Hoggist? ”

"Hahahaha, of course I know Haugist, just kidding you, okay, let's go in, don't bother me on duty again!" The staff member, named Brad, burst out laughing to himself.

"It's not funny at all!" Ingram's roommate looked depressed.

Hoggist patted Brad on the shoulder, "I think this big brother is a talent, loyal to his duties and flexible at the same time, not rigid, and has high emotional intelligence, he easily resolved an obvious embarrassing situation, seriously, brother, do you want to consider working for me?" ”

Brad was stunned for a moment, but in an instant he understood what Hoggist meant, "I'm the director of security here, and a position that is too low may not impress me." ”

"Does the superintendent still have to go into battle to guard the door himself? Isn't it in the monitoring room to get an overview of the whole situation? But it doesn't matter, I don't have a security team at all anyway, if you have any subordinates, you can call them together and form a security team of three or five people. Hoggist laughed.
