Chapter 74: Referee, he harassed me!


  November 6, 8pm.
  Charlotte Hornets, playing away with the Washington Bullets.
   Unlike the young Hornets, the Washington Bullets are the NBA's veteran team. They won the championship in the 77-78 season, but in recent years it has been a bit unlucky. It has not squeezed into the playoffs for four consecutive years.
  However, unlike the unchanging regular season results, the Washington Bullets, in terms of moving and renaming, are the only ones in the league...
   Chicago Packers, Chicago Hefeng, Baltimore Bullets, Capital Bullets, these are the former names of the Washington Bullets.
  ……
   Waited for a while.
  Wasps will start to appear one after another. Because of the preseason play, including the league's official momentum, Li Shengli's name has already gained a certain popularity.
   And when the live DJ introduced Li Shengli in turn, the fans of the whole stadium gave their warm cheers.
  Li Shengli took a deep breath, enjoying the enthusiasm of the fans on the scene, waving his hands to the surroundings, and then grinning and nodded to the opponents of the Washington Bullets, although... he knew no one.
  ……
   "Oh, God, that kid... just nodded to us just now? What does that mean, is it provocative?"
   "Holyshit, this guy laughs a little arrogantly. Ellison, you must teach this arrogant boy a little later!"
  Innocent Li Shengli never thought that his sincere and lovely smile would be misinterpreted by this group of opponents as a provocation.
   "No problem! Huh, I will tell Ellison this new kid... This is the home of our Bullets!" Bullet starting center Pevis Ellison said with his fists clenched.
   "Of course, everyone will take care of this kid later."
   "OK, repair him!"
  ……
   fifteen minutes before the start of the game, Bishop Alan was doing the final arrangement before the game.
   "Guys, this is the first game of the regular season, the meaning to us Hornets without me talking more, you should also understand." Alan clenched his fists on the tactical board, very emotional.
   "Our lineup has been run in the preseason almost, we all listen... Don't be afraid to shoot outside, don't worry about how to play, don't worry about the hit rate!"
   "And Lee, in this game you have to guarantee me your rebounds, and...in the situation where you can't open the outside, you have to smash their rim inside!"
   "As for... Johnson, your task is very simple. While attacking, I need you to give Lee enough support inside!"
  After Alan finished speaking, the Hornets will all be in unison, shouting to the extreme slogan...The Hornets will win!
  ……
   "The first game of the regular season, has it started?"
  Li Shengli's excitement suffocated his strength, although the preseason performance was dazzling, but after all, it is an insignificant preseason game, and now this game is his first real show.
   Obviously... In one year, building a fleet of 300 walking tractors would not satisfy him.
   He wants to earn more!
   He must prove his value to the entire NBA league. Only by proving his value will more teams throw an olive branch to him after the rookie contract ends, and there will be a bigger contract waiting for him.
   As for... Depressed Larry Johnson.
   Before Li Shengli didn't come, he was comfortable with the Hornets as the boss, but after Li Shengli joined the Hornets, all this slowly changed in a subtle way.
  Teammates and Li Shengli get together?
  He doesn't care about this, in his opinion... the strong are always alone, the weak will hold the group.
   But head coach Alan is so important to Li's victory, which makes it difficult for him to accept.
   He was like an only child. He suddenly ushered in a younger brother and took away his parents' love for him, and now he...want to personally strangle Li Shengli, who was inexplicably killed.
   "Shit, kid, don't you think, the boss of the Hornets? It can only be me... Larry Johnson!"
  ……
   9 o'clock US time.
  Charlotte Hornets VS Washington Bullets, as the referee whistle, the two sides officially started the game.
   Hornets start: center Li Shengli, power forward Larry Johnson, small forward John Newman, point guard Marcy Boggs, shooting guard Kendall Gill.
   Compared with last season, the only change is Li Shengli.
  Because of the preseason performance, the coaching staff will naturally not be so stupid as to press him on the bench, so... Li Shengli won't let him win the starting center position, and the original starting became his substitute.
  ……
  The bullet started.
   Center, Pevis Ellison, averaged 20 points and 11.2 rebounds last season. He is definitely at the peak and is the bullet.
   Power forward, the first-round pick Tom Gugliota of the same year as Li Shengli, the two met at the draft conference, but did not speak.
   Small forward, Harvey Durant, averaging 18 points and 6.8 rebounds, is definitely a sharp knife player who dares to attack the inside, and will also be the main source of Lee's block data.
   As for the two defenders.
   Point guard, Michael Adams, 178 cm tall, formed the shortest landscape in the league with Boggs on the Hornets side.
   There is also a shooting guard, Rex Chapman, who played for the Hornets last season, and now meets with the old club and looks at a few old acquaintances and former teammates.
   The couple broke up, who is willing to let the ex-girlfriend see that they are not well mixed?
   So Chapman suffocated and wanted to show his old teammates...I am now the bullet's starting point guard and the most important backcourt force!
  ……
   Both parties are in place.
  Li Shengli and bullet center Ellison waited for the jump ball in the midfield. Both of them got the opponent's information before the game and looked at each other.
  Ellison glanced at Li Shengli, who is a big man. UU reads www.uukanshu.com. I don’t know what it feels... It’s hard to say, but the sixth sense tells him that the kid in front of him will be very cruel.
  Li Shengli looked at Ellison.
   Seriously, Ellison’s height of 206 cm and the weight of less than 100 kg are definitely not a physical center that eats the body, but a technical center.
   From Li Shengli's point of view... confronting such an opponent is exactly what he currently needs most. After all, he needs to learn and sharpen in actual combat!
  Fighting his body, he is not afraid of anyone, but fighting skills...
   He has self-knowledge and there is still much room for improvement, and apparently Ellison looks...will be a good teacher.
   "Hello, Ellison, please advise me later!"
  Li Shengli showed a self-righteous smile and stretched out a friendly big hand, while Ellison's complexion instantly changed.
   Please advise me?
   I will teach you sister!
   What a arrogant boy, the game hasn't been played yet, so it started to ridicule?
   "FKOFF, idiot, who do you think you are?"
  Ellison slaps Li Shengli's friendly hands away, and Li Shengli froze for a moment, and the referee who came over holding the ball was also dumbfounded.
  How to drop?
   The game hasn't been played yet, so are you ready to fight?
   "Brother, did you misunderstand? I really want to ask you for advice!" Li Shengli was a little embarrassed and extended his hand.
   "Go away, you bastard!" Ellison went crazy and shook Li Shengli's hand again, "Referee, did you see this bastard...he harassed me!"
  The referee was sweating.
   What's wrong with his mother in this game?
   Two centers, this watch... There is a story?
