Chapter 19: The Staples Center
The roofs of the basketball arena in St. Lawrence were about to be torn down by crazy students, and the Turks have always been a team known for their defense, and if I had to say that is the most similar team in the NBA, I would say the Memphis Grizzlies. Playing point by point, playing positional battles at a glance is their way of playing, and playing at such a pace is a good record, but the viewing is greatly reduced. And now the turkey team on the field is directly incarnated into a three-point team, and this suffocating offense makes the turkey fans enthusiastic!
After five hellish minutes on the court, the Peyton Middle School players no longer had their former glory, and even dribbled like they lost their souls, and the turkeys certainly didn't let go of this opportunity to beat the Reservoir Dogs, and staged steals, blocks and other good plays one after another, and the six-point difference was instantly filled in the roar of the turkeys.
Joseph's face on the sidelines was full of happiness, first he picked up Bai Xiaonian and Clay in the vast sea of people, and then boldly used newcomers in the first battle of the season, these two risky gambles made Joseph make a lot of money, this is called pie in the sky happiness came too suddenly...
Payton Middle School got the ball again, only to see the opposite guard pass the ball to the small forward, the small forward seemed to have received a hot potato and hurriedly threw it to his center, the center hurriedly called the big forward to take over, and the big forward was also unbearable The green light flashed above his head and returned to the guard, and no one wanted to carry the pot of loss.
Bai Xiaonian saw the pain of Peyton's people, and with the good wish to save them, he directly reached out and broke the ball, solving the dilemma of the other party's crazy dumping.
At the moment when the ball was broken, Bai Xiaonian clearly saw the relief in the eyes of the opposing defender. Damn, you're finally getting your hands dirty...
Coming to the frontcourt, Bai Xiaonian saw that Payton had no fighting spirit and surrendered, and he was also interested, and a straight plug through the half court found Big McKee, and the inside line was strong and the score was overtaken.
In the following time, Bai Xiaonian played more of the role of an organizer, and his selfless style of play touched a group of long-suppressed turkey players. McGee, Jason, Evan, and Muric, all of whom felt aggrieved in the first half, bombarded the opponent's half.
As for the guy Klay, after tying the score, he took the initiative to ask for a substitution, according to him, in order to take care of the team's seniors and sacrifice themselves to play to their talents that they didn't enjoy. But only he knows what is going on.
According to a classmate who happened to pass by in the stairwell, after the game that day, he saw Clay and a girl doing some shady PY trade in a dark corner of the basketball arena...
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Peyton Middle School players scrambled into the locker room, and every second of the final minutes of the game was a torment for them...
In the end, the turkeys sat at home and won the hard-fought 82-80 upwind after a hard-fought battle. Bai Xiaonian, who appeared in the last quarter, slashed 12 points, 3 boards, 7 assists and 5 steals in 12 minutes, and he contributed to the victory.
Turkey Locker Room
I don't know who started it, rubbing Bai Xiaonian's little brain melon has become a way for teammates to express their love, and the original well-cared for micro-roll has become a chicken nest, and the expression on the face of the little white children's shoes is entangled, and I don't know whether to cry or laugh when everyone loves him in this way.
Joseph grinned, the smile on his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, looking at Bai Xiaonian who was watching in the locker room, and sighed in his heart: "The future belongs to you." ”
After Bai Xiaonian's rematch, he became a favorite of St. Lawrence, and the story of single-handedly defeating the invading enemy spread widely throughout the school. Many people in St. Lawrence now know that there is a handsome and awe-inspiring Oriental boy on the school basketball team.
And the Los Angeles Sports Newspaper also paid attention to Bai Xiaonian's unusual existence, because he inadvertently broke a new record, that is, he broke the record for the youngest age to play in the third division of California.
Although the length of the report only occupies a small part of the entire newspaper, it is enough to make Bai Xiaonian happy for a while. After this guy knew that he had broken the record and was in the authoritative newspaper, he immediately dragged Clay to the newspaper market to buy a full 100 copies of the day's "Los Angeles Sports", and then called out to McKee, who was very interested in it, and the turkey triumvirate wore a baseball cap from the newspaper, sunglasses and a mask to cover his face tightly, dressed himself as a free newspaper delivery man, and stood at the school gate to send it to people. When Joseph knew the actions of these three living treasures, he just smiled and shook his head, these stinky boys are really not worrying.
The butterfly effect caused by Bai Xiaonian is still slowly brewing, and the author who pushed all this to the forefront is sitting excitedly in the stands of the Staples Center...
————————————————
Bai Xiaonian returned to his house last night, and his father mysteriously said that he had prepared a surprise for himself, and handed himself an envelope printed with the Lakers emblem, and inside the envelope was an invitation letter and two sideline tickets to the Staples Center. It was said that the management of a certain Lakers team was given to him by his customers. Client? Looking at the signature of the Bass family under the invitation letter, Bai Xiaonian's heart twitched. Daddy 666...
Sitting inside the Staples Center, the voices were boiling, looking at the seven retired jersey numbers hanging above the roof, Bai Xiaonian felt that his heart was about to jump out with the drumbeat of the live DJ, this is where the legend began.
Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, the two absolute superstars of the league, are stretching only 10 meters away from him, he never thought that he could be so close to the NBA's superstars, Bai Xiaonian glanced at his father who was yawning beside him, and quietly took out his camera and slipped down the aisle.
Kobe Bryant felt that he was in good shape today, hit five three-pointers in a row in the pre-game warm-up, walked to the bench with a happy mood and wiped his face with the towel handed over.
"Hey! Brother Kobe, can you sign me a name? A little boy's voice came from behind.
Kobe Bryant turned his head and saw a cute-looking Oriental boy lying on the back seat looking at him with hopeful eyes, looking at the Lakers purple bracelet on his wrist, looking like a little Lakers fan.
Kobe Bryant smiled slightly, walked over to Bai Xiaonian, he was also quite interested in the mystery of the East, took the signed version handed over by Bai Xiaonian, and said while writing his name: "Little guy, are you my fan?" ”
Bai Xiaonian replied loudly: "No, brother! I'm not! I'm my own fan, you're my target and I'm going to beat you later! ”
Kobe Bryant laughed dumbly when he heard this, and O'Neal on the side heard Kobe Bryant chatting with a cute little boy and came over: "Haha, Bryant, I didn't expect you to have such a small challenger." ”
Kobe Bryant gave Ao Fat a blank look, and the two seemed to have a good relationship at this time. The great god turned his head and said to Bai Xiaonian: "Little guy, I'm waiting for you in the alliance, don't let me down." Of course, this is just a casual joke for Kobe, but it has had an indelible impact on Bai Xiaonian's growth.
Bai Xiaonian nodded heavily, and pretended to be innocent and said: "No problem, Brother Kobe, let's make a shadow together again, and Uncle O'Neill will come too." The cunning at the corners of his mouth quietly hooked up, and our little white children's shoes finally revealed their true purpose. As he spoke, he handed over the camera, O'Neal didn't understand why he became an uncle when he came here, Kobe Bryant covered his mouth and snickered on the side, this little boy is really interesting.
Ao Fat finally stuck his head over happily, and it was rare to have such a relaxing moment before the game. So Bai Xiaonian left this photo in the left and right hugs of Kobe and O'Neal, which will become an eternal classic in the future.
