Haugist couldn't believe that Coach Sifar would make such a stupid decision, he returned to the bench and asked loudly: "My break is the perfect fast-break opportunity, there is no one to defend at all, these two points are already in our pocket, why are you calling a timeout?" ”

"I can't explain that either," Coach Sifar said awkwardly, "you're going to be substituted now, and you won't be playing for the rest of the quarter." ”

"What? Are you crazy? We're about to win! You're going to hide me. "Hoggist seriously suspects that something is wrong with his ears.

Coach Sifu smiled wryly and shook his head, "You go back to the locker room to take a shower and go to Box 21!" There is someone there who will be able to answer your questions. ”

“shabi！” Haugist cursed in Chinese, took off his hairband and slammed it on the ground, turning around and walking to the locker room without looking back.

Spectators near the Spurs' bench saw the unpleasant conversation, and while they couldn't hear what they were saying, they could see the angry look on Hoggist's face as he left. This made them fall into deep doubts, obviously Haugist swept away the decline in the fourth quarter, played so well, and led the team to tie the score soon. But why didn't the coach let him play, and drove him straight back to the locker room.

The spectators in the distance didn't know what was going on, only to see Hoggist rushing back to the locker room, and they were also in an uproar, many people thought that Hoggist had suffered some injury, and they took out their mobile phones and swiped the Titter worriedly, hoping to see the latest news of Hoggist's injury.

On the other side of the court, on the Trail Blazers bench, Lillard sat on his chair with his head sideways, ignoring the coach chattering at him in front of him, his eyes passed through all obstacles, staring at the Spurs' bench, his eyes glowing bloodthirsty. Lillard couldn't wait to eat Hoggist alive after the timeout, but Hougist suddenly ran back to the locker room, which made Lillard furious and angrily threw the water glass on the ground, "It can be seen from the opposite position just now that he is absolutely not injured, and when he returns to the locker room now, he is definitely escaping!" This bastard! ”

Lillard, who didn't know the truth, was itching in his teeth, and Horgist was also itching in the locker room, he slammed his fist on the cabinet door, and silently cursed in his heart. In the fourth quarter, he was about to equalize under his successful defense, and he didn't make any mistakes, but he had to be replaced and hidden, and Hoggist really couldn't accept such an arrangement, because he didn't like to watch others decide the trend of the game off the court, whether he won or lost.

Hoggist felt that his performance in the first three quarters was a mess, and the coach had no objection to removing himself at any time in the first three quarters, but at this time, he gradually got into the groove, but was driven back to the locker room, which is simply incomprehensible.

It wasn't until he remembered what Coach Siafar said about Box 21 that he reluctantly went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into a clean sportswear, and quietly left the locker room and entered the audience area of the stadium.

Unexpectedly, the route to the box passed through the bathroom, where Horgist was recognized. He was recognized by a white girl who had just finished touching up her makeup in the vanity mirror, her slightly chubby figure, her blonde hair shawl, whether it was Prada OPR56TS coral/tortoiseshell sunglasses in her hair, or Bulgari's B.zero1 bracelet in 18K rose gold on her wrist. Although the white girl wore makeup, Haugist could still see that the girl was not very old, and it was estimated that she was younger than herself. Although this girl is a little chubby, she is still a beautiful embryo, and Hougist thinks she is very familiar, but he can't remember where he has seen her for a while.

The white girl looked at Haugist in surprise, and first opened her mouth to exclaim, but subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth without making a sound. Hoggist nodded, smiled at the white girl, and was about to move on, but was pulled by the corner of her clothes.

"Hello, the ...... Are you hurt? I just saw you perform so well on the field, why did you suddenly go back to the dressing room? The girl asked.

"Thank you for your concern, I didn't get hurt, it was the coach who suddenly decided to give me a break and stopped playing for me today. As for the reason, I don't know very well. Hogist replied politely.

"You played a great game in the fourth quarter! Have you been releasing water for the previous time? "The girl watched the game quite seriously and asked sharp questions.

"My level is limited, and I've been adapting to Lillard's offensive rhythm in the first three quarters, and in the fourth quarter I finally caught his offensive rhythm, so I played a little bit better." Hougist said modestly.

"Forgive me for being rude, which college player are you? I usually follow the NBA and the NCAA, but why haven't I heard of you before? This year's Summer League is like jumping out of a crack in a rock and suddenly becoming a rising star, and the limelight even overtook the newcomer Bennett in the last game. "This girl has a lot of questions, and she grabbed Hoggist and kept asking.

"There are a lot of people like me who pop up and amaze the audience in the summer league every year, but most of them are short-lived." "As for me, I'm going to be in my senior year of high school this year, and I'm not a college student yet, but I'm definitely going to go to UNLV in the future." ”

"What? Are you a high school student? The girl couldn't believe her ears, "You're a high school student who can keep Lillard at bay?" ”

"You've won the prize, and I was beaten up by Lillard in this game as a whole." Hoggist said politely, he was now all he wanted to do was go to Box 21 for answers.

"I don't know your name yet, your shirt only has your last name, Hurley." The girl offered to extend her hand to him.

Haugist shook the girl's hand out of politeness, "My name is Haugist, Haugist. Hurley, haven't asked the girl's name yet? ”

The girl held Haugist's hand but refused to let go, revealing a sweet smile, "My name is Kolo. Grace. Molise (. Moretz)。 ”

"Are you a 'superkiller'? Have you grown so big? Hougist reacted at this time, no wonder she looked familiar, it turned out that she was the actor of the super killer in the movie "King Haibian".

"You know me! It's such an honor. Moriz still held Haugist's hand tightly.

"I've always thought you were familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen you. It's no wonder that you were still a little sister when King Haibian was released in 2009! Now they've become big girls! I didn't expect to see you at a trivial summer league, can you sign me? Haugist happily withdrew his hand and flipped up his pocket. Although he is in Las Vegas, because he is still just a student, he usually does not have many opportunities to contact stars. I was very happy to meet the star Hoggist, and even forgot the troubles of box 21 for a while.

"I was just trying to get you to sign me!" Moriz reluctantly let go of her hand.

"You're looking for my autograph? I heard you right, I'm just an ordinary high school student! "Hoggist touched it for a long time, but who usually always carries a pen and paper on his body? At this awkward moment, he heard Molise say that she wanted his autograph too.

"In the eyes of fans, an actor like me is a star. But in the eyes of our fans, a brilliant athlete like you is a real star! You're not going to refuse my little request as a fan. "Moritz, as a girl in the chubby world, has a unique smile.

"But I didn't bring pen and paper?" Haugist scratched his head.

"It's okay, let's take a photo as a souvenir!" Molise pulled out her phone, and the two got together to take a few selfies. Molise looked at the photos and said to herself, "I've been fat again, I'm going to have to lose weight to post on Instagram and Titter!" ”

Fiddling with the phone for a while, Molise looked up and said to Hoggist, "Let's add Titter and IG friends, when I send photos @ you, we will be friends in the future, if you go to LA, you can play with me, I will definitely be on call!" By the way, my new movie "King of the Sea 2" will be released next month, do you have time to come to LA for the world premiere? ”

"Me? Can it really be? Hoggist was surprised, after all, she had only just met Molize, and she invited herself to such a high-end event.

"Of course! I'm a fan of yours! Isn't it a matter of course to invite my idol to the premiere of my new film? Moriz said mischievously.

"Okay, but I'm afraid I'll get you in trouble." Hogist said hesitantly.

"What! How old are you? Are you married? Moriz exclaimed. The decibel level was so high that Haugist almost couldn't help but go up and cover Moritz's mouth.

"Be quiet, I'm not married! Just have a girlfriend who is taking care of my sister with me. Hogist explained.

"You have a girlfriend!" There was a trace of loss in Morize's eyes, and she was a lot lower, "It's okay, it's okay for them to come together!" ”

"Thank you, Miss Moritz, we keep in touch, I have something to go first!" Hoggist didn't notice the change in Moritz's mood.

"Just call me Grace, remember to come to LA to play with me! Finally, you are welcome to choose to join the Lakers in the future! Molise reluctantly said goodbye to Hogist.

"This is the second Los Angeles resident to let me join the Lakers, is the Clippers really that low in popularity locally?" Hogist waved goodbye to Molise and muttered to himself as he walked to Box 21.

Leaving the matter of encountering the "Super Killer Girl" behind him first, Hougist cleared his thoughts and pushed open the door of Box 21.

"Old man Greg, why are you here?" Hoggist pushed open the door and saw Popovich sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a bottle in his arms, and a broken glass on the floor. Hoggist had just happily said hello to Bobo, but after thinking about it, could it be that Coach Sifor had replaced him at his behest? After all, Popovich's bizarre substitution ideas are also well-known in the league.

"Yes, it seems that you have already thought of it, and I asked Chad to hide you." Popovich saw the rich change in Haugist's expression after entering the goal, and expected that Hoggist had thought of this section, so he generously took the initiative to admit it.

"As much as I respect you, I need a reason." Hougist was a little displeased, and said in a slightly questioning tone.

"I did this for a very simple purpose, which is to lower your market. Your performance in the summer league is too eye-catching, and if you continue to play like this, I'm afraid you've already booked a future top pick. Will not all my plans be in vain? Isn't this training I have done to you just a wedding dress for others? Popovich took a sip of wine with some frustration.

"But now that the social media network is so developed, how strong my strength is, and there are so many game videos that can be seen casually on the Internet, I can't hide this matter at all!" Hougist said.

"Actually, I know it in my heart, but I always want to make some more efforts and hide it one more day. Oh my God, I would make such a fool of myself for a high school student, and the last person I wanted to think about day and night was Timothy! But with our current lineup, there is no way to force it to rot, what can I do? I don't have a choice, and I'm helpless! Popovich drank the remaining half of the bottle.

"A low pick to find a player as great as Duncan? It would be more practical for you to think about how to trade to get the top pick. "One must not be too greedy and always want to get the most out of the least cost." ”

Popovich threw down the bottle and didn't say anything, how could he, a man over the age of six, not know these truths? But there are at least two years left before Hoggist candid, and in those two years, the Spurs' trade-worthy players are the foundation of the Spurs' future team, but Popovich's eyes are vicious, so the Spurs have no garbage contracts to clear space. Therefore, for the future to get Hoggist through the draft, Popovich can only artificially reduce the Hoggist pick.

However, Hoggist himself is not willing to deliberately show weakness, he has his own bottom line, "I am willing to consider the Spurs first no matter what favorable conditions other teams offer, but I can't give up winning because of this, my motivation to play is to go on the court to beat one opponent after another." If you ask me to be on the sidelines instead of fighting on the court, I'd rather go to a bad team that requires me to play the whole game for 48 minutes. ”

"The game was over, and we were killed by Lillard's hard shot." Popovich stared out the window at the game scene and said lightly.
