During the two months that Reddick went to Duke, Yang Long quickly developed a deep friendship with him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are three reasons for this:

1, Yang Long and Redick don't know each other, and Redick has always been haunted by the fact that he was fooled into losing Yang Long by one goal on the day he was fooled. came to Duke to find Yang Long again and again and asked for a second comparison, and the two gradually developed a sense of shame in the fight.

2. Yang Long and Redick are not players with explosive physical talents, so they communicate a lot in many basketball skills.

3, Reddick likes Chinese cuisine, and under the leadership of Yang Long and Wu Shuang, two Tianfu foodies, he has discovered a lot of Chinese things......

November 16, 2002, Duke Cameron Indoor Basketball Arena.

"Yang, you lost again, I thought something was wrong with you at that time!" defeated Yang Long again with a score of 21:18 in the three-point shooting competition, and Redick was heroically wounded again, and he couldn't help but complain.

"What do you mean by again? I beat you the other day! "Yang Long is naturally not to be outdone, although he has been 'humiliated' by Redick with three-point shooting in public these days, but at least he does not lose every written test.

"You just stepped on the ****, with the help of **** luck! Haha," Redick made another shot, and the three-pointer went into the net, "By the way, are you interested in making a bet with me?" ”

"Bet on what? If it's a three-point bet, it's going to be another day, hehe. Yang Long pondered in his heart, this product just finished competing with himself by three points, should he try it again?

"No, no, no, I don't bother to test your three-point skills anymore." Not only Yang Long, Redick's three-point shooting skills are already the best in Duke, and his face looks very stinky at this time, "You don't know about Fliggy, do you?" ”

Fliggy, who is it?

Yang Long naturally wouldn't be unaware.

Charles Barkley, who averaged 26.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.5 blocks per game in his career, is one of the top 50 superstars in the NBA league, nicknamed Fliggy.

There are many 'strange players' on the court in the history of the NBA, such as the 206-centimeter point guard Magic Johnson, and the 198-centimeter-tall Fliggy, who is a power forward who wreaks havoc in the restricted area - statistics show that it is only 193 centimeters......

Five-time No. 1 team in the league, All-Star MVP, regular season MVP, rebounding king, and the league's specially tailored 5-second back-to-back principle, it can be said that if Fliggy has a championship ring, then his playing career can be said to be legendary and complete.

After retiring in 2000, Fliggy decided to bring his talent to TNT TV to continue his development, and since then, Fliggy's career has ushered in a second spring......

"Fliggy, of course I do! Charles Barkley, a great player. ”

"It's good that you know, haha, in fact, the bet I want to make with you has something to do with you." Reddick smiled mysteriously, "Da Yao, you must know, right?" Sir Charles said that if Da Yao can score more than 19 points in tomorrow's game, he will kiss his partner Kenny Smith's ass, hahaha, Charles is so funny. ”

"Uh......" Yang Long knew about this, and he also knew the outcome of this matter, when Da Yao first entered the NBA league, everyone was questioning whether this bamboo pole champion from China was worthy of his position as the top talent.

Before the Houston Rockets played at home against the Golden State Warriors, Barkley made a wild remark that if Da Yao scored more than 19 points in this game, he would kiss Da Yao's ass. As a result, I don't know if Da Yao has a chill in his heart about Barkley's bet, who wants a fat-headed and big-eared villain to kiss his ass? Da Yao scored just three points in that game. This fueled Barkley's arrogance even more, and Fliggy's provocation undoubtedly brought that skepticism to its apex.

"I don't think Charles will lose, why don't we make a bet too, how about it, do you dare?" Reddick also used a little agitation, and it seems that he still learned a lot of the essence of Chinese culture during the days he spent with Yang Long.

But Reddick's agitation method was destined to not work, because he chose something that Yang Long knew to bet on, not to mention that Reddick's choice was wrong.

"Why don't you dare, bet on what?" Yang Long smiled, this is a good thing sent to the door, how can he be embarrassed to refuse?

"I'll bet $200."

"Hey, JJ, Yang, I want to join in too!" Du Hong on the side also heard the conversation between the two, and he also longed for this interesting bet.

"Okay, okay, no problem!" Yang Long heard Reddick say that gambling money, how could there be no reason not to want the dollars sent to the door for nothing? At this time, Du Hong is also going to join in, which will undoubtedly make his harvest more lucrative, and so on, who will win Du Hong's bet? Thinking of this, Yang Long asked again: "Who do you bet on to win?" ”

"I'm sorry Yang, I'm not targeting Chinese players, but from the current point of view, Da Yao doesn't have this ability, so I'm betting that Charles will win." Du Hong knows that Yang Long is a very patriotic person, but in essence, he doesn't think that Da Yao can score more than 19 points, not to mention that the opponent of the Rockets is the Lakers, and the center of the Lakers is O'Neal!

"I'm going to participate too!"

“……”

More and more Duke players are coming in and their choice is clear, which is to bet on Fliggy to win. Yang Long's heart blossomed at this time, but he was embarrassed to laugh, so he could only pretend to be deep.

"Hey, Yang, are you sure you want to bet with us? You know, if you lose, how many thousand dollars you lose? Redick saw Yang Long, who was pretending to be calm, and thought that Yang Long was silent because he was afraid of losing the bet. After all, there is only one person who bets on Da Yao to win, although he wins the bet, Yang Long alone can earn the bets of the rest of the team, but if he loses, he will have to bear the sum of the bets of the whole team, not to mention that in Redick's opinion, this bet has been lost by Yang Long from the beginning, and the risk is not small. Has Yang Long's blind patriotism reached this situation, knowing that the possibility of Da Yao who came to China scoring 19 points is very small, and he still has to agree to gamble? Reddick admired Yang Long's patriotism even more.

"It's okay, I'm willing to gamble!" Yang Long was righteous on the surface, but secretly he was smug and cheap, only to blame this Reddick and the others for knowing too little compared to himself, or too young!

On November 17, 2002, the Houston Rockets faced the Los Angeles Lakers, which was the first time in Da Yao's career against the Purple and Gold. And Barkley's bet undoubtedly added a lot of gimmicks to this game.

As a result, the game ended, Da Yao made 9 of 9 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 20 points......

Although Barkley is a '****' big mouth, he is also a bold man who is willing to fulfill his promise on live TV and kiss the ass of his commentary partner Kenny Smith......

There is no doubt that his partner will not want to be involved in vain, after all, it is too shameful to take off his pants on a TV show and give a big man a kiss and sleepless......

Sir Barkley could have said, "Look, it's not that I don't want to kiss, it's that Kenny won't kiss me." Then this farce can be stopped...... But I have to admire Fliggy's iron-blooded pride, Fliggy found a donkey and kissed the donkey's butt in front of the national audience on the TV show, which has since become a good story in the basketball world.

Some reporters even brought a video tape to Da Yao to watch directly, at this time Da Yao played a confidence and humor that belongs to the Chinese: "Barkley is a player I admire, I don't know if he sees me score 36 points in a game, he will kiss the elephant's ass, haha, you know that the studio can't hold an elephant!" ”

Because of his previous bet with his teammates, Da Yao's victory also made Yang Long a direct beneficiary, and he earned thousands of dollars from his teammates, and his mouth was full of laughter......

Regarding Yang Long's unexpected victory this time, Redick expressed dissatisfaction:

"Who knew that O'Neal was actually out of the game due to injury, and Charles had a bad relationship with O'Neal when he was a player, it must be O'Neal who deliberately wanted to see Charles's jokes!"

The farce ended with the victory of Da Yao, who initially showed his strength and began his journey to justify the name of the Chinese players, and since then, fewer and fewer people have despised Da Yao, and gradually won over by the skill and hard work of this little giant from China......
