20demayo Chapter 64: Being 20 points behind is nothing!
Chapter 64: Being 20 points behind is nothing!
Bonzi Wells has been overjoyed these past few days.
His plan to isolate Hansen Lee went very smoothly, indirectly proving his influence and status within the team.
And now.
When news broke that the Trail Blazers had decided to trade him, Bonzi Wells was stunned and sat there in a daze.
In the end, I was abandoned by the team...
He was selected 11th overall in the first round of the 1998 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons and was immediately traded to the Portland Trail Blazers.
This is his sixth year with the team.
I made a lot of money here, bought a house, settled down, and a whole series of other things.
Unexpectedly, he left so abruptly.
It's still uncertain which team he'll be traded to.
If you go to a big football market, at least you can live a more comfortable life;
However, if you go to a smaller market, that's a different story.
Li He felt no pity for Bonzi Wells's dejected appearance.
All of this was Bonzi Wells' own fault.
Not only does he show no sympathy, but he also rubs salt into the wound:
"Bonzi, congratulations on getting out of here!"
"Hey, it doesn't feel good to be abandoned, does it?"
"I'll throw a big party to celebrate the day you leave. If you'd like to come, you can join the fun."
"Don't be too sad, but if you really are, just cry."
"Perhaps in the near future, someone will come to accompany you."
A barrage of sarcastic remarks unleashed Li He's pent-up frustration.
That bastard, you're finally gone!
The last sentence was meant for others to hear.
The meaning is clear.
The team now supports me as the leader, so you'd better think carefully about your attitude from now on.
The second half of the game started soon.
The score is 30-51.
The Trail Blazers' roster has changed due to trade management by Bonzi Wells.
Ruben Patterson, nicknamed "Kobe the Terminator," has taken up a starting position. This guy's offense is passable, but his defense is quite good.
As soon as he stepped onto the field, Ruben Paterson moved closer to Li He, covered his mouth, and said:
"Hansen, try to make runs, I'll pass the ball to you!"
"OK, I understand," Li He replied.
In the isolationist movement initiated by Bunzi Wells, Ruben Paterson remained neutral, showing no clear inclination to take sides.
Li He could understand that when everyone else was stepping on him, it was already quite kind of someone not to take the opportunity to kick him while he was down.
After all, there are very few people like Zach Randolph who stand together through thick and thin.
……
Inside the TNT live stream room.
The host, Ernie Jensen, with his keen observation, suddenly said:
"The Trail Blazers changed their lineup in the second half!"
"Bonzi Wells, who had a poor first half, was immediately benched, and Ruben Paterson was promoted to the starting lineup for the second half!"
"That's good, because when Hansen Lee and Bonzi Wells are on the court together, the team has absolutely no chemistry!"
"Perhaps the Trail Blazers' tactical change will spark a small counterattack?"
"Oh... but the Timberwolves' offense is still sharp, Kevin hits a mid-range shot!"
With Kevin Garnett hitting a powerful jump shot, the score reached 30-53, and the Timberwolves led by 23 points!
With such a large lead at home, many fans were overjoyed, thinking the game was in the bag!
Howl
Howl
The fans let out strange screams.
This is a tacit understanding among fans at the Target Center Arena; they imitate the howl of wolves to cheer on their home team.
Garnett, who had already secured two doubles, was extremely excited and started trash-talking Randolph:
"Hey, fat guy, you can't stop me, find someone else!"
"Oh...sorry, the team is leading by so much, I might have to clock out soon."
Randolph was also stubborn, and immediately prepared to retort after hearing the mockery.
At this moment, Li He spoke first:
"Kevin, I don't know what you have to be so proud of."
"You've been eliminated in the first round for seven consecutive years, and that's all thanks to you!"
"You look so cute when you pretend to be trying!"
Garnett gritted his teeth and said, "Where did you come from, you rookie? Take care of yourself first!"
"You're already down by 23 points!"
In the next possession, Li He hit a pull-up three-pointer over Sam Cassell's defense.
"The score is 20 now."
"20 points is nothing!"
Perhaps because of their large lead, the Timberwolves became somewhat careless at the beginning of the third quarter.
The Bonzi Wells trade also served as a warning to Mockingjay and Rashid Wallace.
Hansen Lee holds a very important position in the eyes of the management.
The two also started passing the ball to Li He.
With Sprewell missing a mid-range shot, Rasheed Wallace grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Little Mouse.
The little flying squirrel dribbled the ball and advanced rapidly, while Li He was already running a fast break.
A beautiful bounce pass found Li He.
Li He received the ball and drove into the penalty area, then slammed it home with a powerful dunk!
"Kevin, 18 points!"
Kevin Durant was getting impatient, and his hand slipped while serving, allowing Li He to steal the ball with quick reflexes.
Li He dribbled to his most familiar right 45-degree angle and unleashed a powerful three-pointer without hesitation!
"Hanson For Threeeee...!"
"Hansen Lee scored 8 points in just over a minute!"
"The Trail Blazers see hope of catching up!"
"As expected, this team's chances of winning depend on Hansen Lee's performance!"
After scoring, Li He smiled slightly at Kevin Garnett:
"Kevin, thanks for the three points."
"Only 15 points left!"
The continuous taunts enraged Sprewell of the Timberwolves. A hot-tempered man, he stood in front of Li He and said:
"Hansen Lee, your mouth is really annoying!"
Li He said with a smile, "And you, you're just annoying."
"Hey, rookie, don't think you can be arrogant just because you dared to lay a hand on Ron Artest. I'm not afraid of you!" "Madman" Sprewell deliberately walked forward and bumped Li He with his shoulder.
Li He certainly wouldn't tolerate his behavior, so he bumped him back with his shoulder and even suggested:
"What's your name again? Hmm, it doesn't matter."
"You could totally team up with Ron Artest, after all, I'm afraid I'll beat you to a pulp."
Li He's trash talk was all about offense and no defense, which was very effective in this area and directly broke through the Madman's defenses.
Upon hearing this, Sprewell raised his arms and was about to grab Li He by the neck.
Li He reacted quickly, using his two long arms to push Sprewell's arms apart.
This brief contact surprised Sprewell. Was this guy really that strong?
But with the atmosphere already at this point, they certainly couldn't back down, and Sprewell and Li He clashed.
The sudden turn of events startled the players and other spectators.
Another fight?
Didn't a conflict break out in the first half?
Players from both sides quickly came to help.
The only difference from the first half is that...
When Bonzi Wells got into a fight, only Flying Squirrel and Rashid Wallace came to his aid.
And this conflict between Li He and others.
The rest of the Trail Blazers players all rushed over!
You want to fight, huh?
This is exactly what the Portland Jailers are good at!
