Chapter 826 Shouldn’t You Be so Wise?

There was no time in the first quarter, and after the last round, the Lakers returned to the bench and waited for the second quarter.

Although he took a 9-point lead in the first quarter, because Artest failed to guard anyone, especially the 17th overall pick who was making his debut, Phil Jackson made a fuss when everyone came back. Test said a few words, but Artest's face was very ugly, and he was about to lose his temper.

"Stop playing in the second quarter and let Fox play!"

"No, I want to fight. If you say I can't defend you, I'll kill that kid in the next quarter!"

"You... tell me, is it useless for me to speak?" Phil Jackson was furious, turned around and said: "Lee, please shut him up."

Although as a head coach, asking his players to help suppress another player, it seems that the head coach cannot control the field, but the problem is that Artest is too special, as long as he loses his temper, even the king of heaven can't stop him, and Phil -Jackson knows that only Li Shengli can take care of Artest now.

"Ron, stop talking nonsense!"

"Crotty, sit over here!"

Li Shengli called Artest and Crotty together, and Artest shrank his neck, glanced at Crotty who was sitting over and said, "Boss, do you want to help me get that kid?"

"You're the only one who talks a lot!" Li Shengli glared at Artest and said to Crotty: "Crotty, this guy Desmond Mason..."

"Okay, I get it!" Crotty nodded.

"Damn, this... you, what do you know about stepping on a horse?" The Artest people were all dumbfounded and thought... What kind of god is Crotty? The boss didn't finish his words, you stepped on the horse. Ma will know. Could it be that this is the famous conjoined old Beibei in the league?

"What, you don't know?" Crotty asked doubtfully.

"Should I know? Okay, okay, I know too, um, yes!" Artest nodded fiercely.

"Isn't that right? The Ron I know shouldn't be so smart?!" Crotty made a rare joke and said: "Okay, I'll give that rookie a defensive lesson later and then beat him." Go inside, Lee is waiting for him!”

"Ah, aren't we looking for an opportunity to destroy him?"

"What are you thinking? Just teach him how to play ball. Don't always think of using violence to solve problems. Don't you know that Li is a civilized person?"

"A civilized person? Well... I guess I'd better not express my opinion!" Artest glanced at Li Shengli, a civilized person next to him who was "fishing for fame". He didn't dare to refute. He just felt that "civilization" had been tarnished in some way. and insult.

"Why are you riding a horse to watch me? Am I uncivilized?" Li Shengli glared again.

"Civil... civilized, we are all civilized people, let's build a harmonious alliance together!" Artest shouted the slogan, feeling like he was being forced into prostitution, while Li Shengli didn't say anything, and Crotty explained a few more words.

…

In the second quarter, Artest was not replaced, but he had a military order to suppress Desmond Mason, and Crotty was still on the court to supplement defense, so the Lakers did not make any substitutions in the second quarter and continued to start. Fighting.

As for the SuperSonics.

Desmond Mason scored 15 points in the first quarter. Under normal circumstances, new coach Nate McMillan would not score him, but the key is... Nate McMillan is a coach. As a newcomer, he entered the league in 1986 and retired in 1998. He has personally experienced the craziest era of the league, and during this craziest era, Li Shengli was still one of the best. Carrying forward the past, he became the ultimate iron-elbowed old villain of the league.

It stands to reason that players of the level of Mason and Li Shengli can't even exchange words. McMillan doesn't have to worry about Mason being harmed. However, Mason, who scored 15 points in a single quarter, has already swelled. During the break, he was blowing his beard and staring at Ewing. , making MacMillan doubt...

Will Mason, who is so swollen, go to the other side to find excitement? It will be really exciting then!

One thing to say is that the dominant players in the NBA are definitely black people, and objectively speaking... the upper limit of the intelligence level of the black group is not necessarily high, but the lower limit must be low. This is not discrimination, this is a fact. Sometimes it is completely impossible to guess. They can do anything and cannot understand their thinking logic, so when McMillan wanted Mason to stop playing and calm down for a while, Mason felt that McMillan was jealous of talents and suppressed newcomers.

Suppress newcomers? !

I'm a head coach and not a player, why do you think I'm crazy? !

You still look down on Ewing. You are like this. You can’t even take a move from Li Shengli. Do you believe it?

McMillan was helpless, but didn't say much. He let Mason continue to play. However, out of a responsible attitude towards the team, he reminded Mason not to provoke the opponent, but Mason didn't think so... Thinking about it carefully, Mr. Li was in full swing. , Kobe, the league's top perimeter player, is just the same. Isn't he unable to catch up with his own scoring?

…

The second quarter still started.

The Sonics attacked first, and Crotty chased Payton, which made Payton feel that this madman who was always compared with him by the media on the defensive end was very difficult to deal with. It also made Payton feel that the appearance of the same level as himself was difficult. How disgusting it is.

Finally, the ball was passed to Mason, who was in an explosive state.

Artest kept a distance when he stepped forward to mark him. He didn't expect that Mason would take a shot without thinking. After hitting the three-pointer... Mason shook his head at Artest. Fortunately, Crotty hugged Artest from the side, otherwise Artest's bad temper would definitely have beaten Mason to death on the spot.

Although provocation is very common on the playing field, it also depends on the person and the situation, and several people in the Sonics think that Mason, the newcomer, is particularly...brave.

"This kid... is going to be in trouble!"

"I haven't seen such a brave newcomer in a long time!"

"Damn it, I didn't even talk trash this time. Where did he get the courage?"

"It's good to be taught a lesson by Boss Li and the others, otherwise with his temperament, he will be in trouble later!"

"It's scary... He may not be able to take this lesson. Also, I don't quite understand. He has never played in the NBA but hasn't watched it. Doesn't he really know that he is joking with his life?"

Payton and Baker's teammates exchanged some words when they returned to defense. This time when the Lakers' offense came back, Kobe called for a screen and shook off Payton and returned the favor with a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

As for the Sonics' offense...

Mason kept asking for the ball and covering. After getting rid of Artest, including the previous three-pointer, Mason hit three more long-range two-pointers, and this...

Mason's score took just over 15 minutes to reach 24 points.

Not only did he quickly recover the game points difference, his efficiency was definitely at the superstar level, and it was an incredible result for a rookie making his debut. This gave Mason the feeling of overlooking the entire field and completely conquering Staples. , and even made a neck-wiping gesture to the Lakers generals and the fans present, causing an explosion in the audience.

"Damn it, I can't stand it, I'm going to kill him!"

"Li, come on, give the newcomer a boxing lesson!"

"How could there be such an arrogant newcomer? Doesn't he know where this place is?"

"Quick, don't let him come back alive, bury this garbage quickly!"

Staples' "public dissatisfaction boiled", tens of thousands of people petitioned, and Mason, who had provoked the entire Lakers, was buried alive. Li Shengli's face turned dark and he glanced at Ewing next to him, but Ewing also glanced at Li Shengli.

"This... what do you think I'm doing? It's not me who provoked you!" Ewing rolled his eyes and said: "Seriously, you don't want to trick him, do you? That's really a big deal. !”

"It all depends on his own luck! But it's okay, everything has come together. Send him away first, and then we'll fight!"

"Okay, then I should save some strength?"

"No, soon!"
