Chapter 59: Max the Madman
Wang Tiejun met super center Hakeem Olajuwon for the first time.
He found that Daming was a little shorter than him. His height with shoes on was 218 cm. Daming's shoes were definitely 5 to 7 cm shorter than his, and his naked height would definitely not exceed 210 cm.
In fact, because of 's muscle content exceeds that of Ewing and David Robinson, and because of his natural strength, his ability to confront others is better than the two.
Of course, he weighs more than Ewing and David Robinson, reaching 116 kilograms, so he looks stronger than Ewing and the other two.
The other four starters of the Mosaic team looked at Wang Tiejun curiously. The head point guard Kenny Smith shouted, "Hakim, is this the Chinese coolie who wanted to dunk on you and asked you to walk around him? This guy is really funny, I like him!"
"If you want to dunk over Hakeem, you have to get past me first."
Otis Thorpe, the knife-free bodyguard of Dream, the most classic basketball leader in the NBA, last season's All-Star substitute, a fellow draft pick of Barkley and Dream, and Houston's main power forward, stared at Wang Tiejun.
"Chinese, I promise you will suffer tonight." Robert Horry said with a smile.
"You are a nobody, Chinese man."
Vernon Maxwell, the worst-tempered member of the Mosaic team, stood up and stood in front of Wang Tiejun. Although he was almost a head shorter than Wang Tiejun, he was extremely fierce. He tapped Wang Tiejun's chest with his right index finger and said in a cold voice with disdain:
"I know you played Terry Davis of the Mavericks in Phoenix, but this is on our home court. Do you dare to touch me?"
This guy is a well-known villain in the league. He even rushed into the stands and beat up fans. He has a nickname, which was given by the Knicks' number one fan Spike Lee. It is called Mad Max and he has a very bad temper.
On the court, he plays tough, dares to shoot and defend, can score and defend. He is a good shooting guard in the league, averaging 17 points per game this season.
He also knew Wang Tiejun's reputation for violence, because whenever the media reported news about Wang Tiejun, it would inevitably be about violence, and they would not write much about other things.
But he didn't think Wang Tiejun would dare to attack him here because this was his home court.
Among the five starters of the Mosaic, only Dream didn't speak. He stood there steadily and just nodded at Barkley.
There was no Wang Tiejun in his eyes at all. He didn't even look at him and didn't even bother to say any trash words.
"Hey, if you guys want to bully my brothers, you have to get past me first." Barkley stood up and took the front without showing any weakness.
"No, no, brother, I'll handle this myself."
Lao Wang shook his head with a smile, looked down at the finger that Crazy Max wanted to retract, and smiled at him.
"So you're an idiot. I told you that Chinese people are cowards. They are naturally afraid of us. Hey, rookie, where's your braid?"
Mad Max laughed like a madman, with a hideous smile on his face.
"Snapped!"
At this moment, Wang Tiejun suddenly raised his hand and slapped him. A loud slap sounded, and Crazy Max screamed. His 193 cm, 82 kg body swung three circles in a row, leaving a circle of blood and several bloody white teeth, and then crashed into Dameng behind him.
“…”
Everyone was stunned, from the players to the security guards in the corridor.
“Damn it!”
Da Meng was dumbfounded. The slap was on the crazy Max, but Max was his younger brother, so how could he not be slapped in the face?
"Chinese, this is our home turf, how dare you?"
He stared at Wang Tiejun and uttered something through gritted teeth.
"You dog-like bastard, if you mess with me again and discriminate against us Chinese again, I will beat you to death!"
Wang Tiejun didn't even look at Daming. He stared at the crazy Max in Daming's arms and shook his right hand that had just hit him.
Max is no longer crazy and he dare not be crazy anymore. With his small physique, the slap just now has made him dizzy and unable to stand. If Dameng hadn't held him, he would have fallen to the ground. Now he is in a trance and seems unable to believe that he was slapped.
Otis Thorpe was also a little confused. He didn't expect that this Chinese man would hit someone over a disagreement. His temper was even worse than his.
At this moment, he remembered what Max had just mentioned about Wang Tiejun beating up Davis of the Mavericks at home. He originally wanted to stand up and show his toughness, but the idea disappeared in an instant.
He is okay at playing basketball, but not professional at fighting. However, I heard that this Chinese man has practiced Kung Fu.
"Let's go out."
Barkley was afraid that things would get out of hand, so he pulled Wang Tiejun towards the court, and the other three quickly followed.
As Wang Tiejun followed him out, he turned around and pointed at Dameng, cursing, "So what if this is your home court? Do you dare to fight back? If you dare to fight back, I will cripple you today and force you to retire en masse."
"This is a madman! He is a real madman!"
The craziest guy suffered a great loss and dared not to go crazy anymore. The other four members of Mosaic also lost their madness and could only watch the five members of the Suns leave.
"This is a crazy old K. Don't be scared by him. We are going to teach them a lesson on the court." Robert Horry swallowed dryly and said awkwardly.
"The rookie is bullying the weak. He is a head taller than Max. Let's not take him seriously." Kenny Smith said.
"Vernon, are you okay?"
Da Meng glared at Horry and said to Max in his arms.
Mad Max shook his head blankly, then nodded without saying anything.
"Do not touch me!"
He suddenly pushed away Dameng's hand, staggered to stand firm, then bent down to pick up his three big white teeth that had been knocked out, and suddenly a few tears fell to the ground.
"This matter is not over yet. I will not let him go. He is too bullying!" He finally couldn't bear it anymore and said incoherently with tears in his voice.
"Vernon?"
What did Da Meng and the others want to say ?
"you……"
Max stood up and stared angrily at Da Meng and the other four people, and said angrily: "You actually just watched him beat me?"
The four people of Da Meng looked at each other. Who told you to say those racist words? That was your fault. Do you want us to pay for you?
“I’m so disappointed in you!”
Max glared at Da Meng and the other three again, then turned around and walked towards the court.
"Let's go. We have to teach those damn Chinese coolies a lesson tonight." Da Meng waved his hand.
Now he really hates Wang Tiejun. This season, Mosaic's lineup is very strong, with strong scoring ability, especially mid-range and long-range shooting ability, which makes him have very few chances of being double-teamed. He is confident that he can hit the championship with this lineup.
However, Max now has a grievance against him, which may very likely lead to internal strife, causing him to have some concerns.
"Shh!"
When Wang Tiejun came on the field, he was greeted with a lot of boos because of his verbal battle with Dream, and many home fans hurled all kinds of abuse at him.
