Chapter 84: With me in the alliance, he has no hope in this life
At this time, in the home team's locker room, Barkley was boredly flipping through today's Phoenix Daily, and suddenly shouted: "Look, guys, Arizona is now infested with wolves, and the government is calling on people to hunt them. Who of you is interested? We have time to form a team to go hunting."
"What's the wolf wrestling?" Wang Tiejun asked.
"That's the local name for Mexican wolves," Kevin Johnson said .
He made his comeback today and was very excited. He hadn't played basketball for a week and his hands were itching.
"How to hunt? With a gun?" Lao Wang asked excitedly.
He often heard gunshots in the United States, but had never touched a gun.
Guns are too mysterious in China. Most people have no chance to touch them. He is very excited about guns.
"Usually, a sniper rifle is used in combination with a close-range double-barreled rifle. Several people form a team and can bring a camera to record the process. It's very exciting."
Kevin Johnson has been here for a long time and is very familiar with the place.
"Brother, have you ever done this?" Barkley asked.
Johnson shrugged and said, "I've never been there. I need an experienced person to guide me."
"I plan to buy a gun and apply for a hunting license. Do you know what procedures are required?" Comrade Lao Wang said excitedly.
Barkley chuckled and said, "It's easier to buy a gun than alcohol in the United States. Old K, as long as you are over 18 years old, you can go buy a gun with your driver's license or ID."
Danny Ainge reminded: “You are not a U.S. citizen and you don’t have a green card, so you can’t buy a pistol, you can only buy a rifle.
In Arizona, you cannot buy a hunting rifle or apply for a hunting license unless you have been a resident for six months."
"I can't hunt? That's a shame!"
Lao Wang chuckled and said, "Then I'll go buy a gun tomorrow. I want an AK47."
"but……"
Danny Ainge also chuckled and said , "I'm sorry, Old K, I still have something to say."
When Lao Wang heard the word "but", he felt something was wrong.
Danny Ainge continued: "You have been imprisoned in China and are a potential violent and dangerous person. This may prevent you from obtaining a gun in the United States."
"What?" Lao Wang was frustrated.
"Anyway, if you have a prison record in the United States, you cannot legally own a gun," said Danny Ainge.
Lao Wang was desperate. It seemed that his idea of playing with guns could not be realized.
Kevin Johnson said, "To buy a gun in the United States, you need an FBI review, which is usually quick and can be completed in two or three minutes. Old K, you are not in prison in the United States. If you really want to buy a gun, you have to let them pass their review."
"Then I have to try it."
Wang Tiejun felt that he had a glimmer of hope. He was barely a public figure in the local area, so he should have a chance.
At 7:45, the first team came on stage.
In the player tunnel, the starting lineups of both teams met and waited to play.
Wang Tiejun observed his opponent tonight, Bill Cartwright.
According to the information the team gave him, he is 216 cm tall and weighs 111 kg. He was selected by the Knicks as the third pick in the 1979 draft and spent his peak years in New York. He is 36 years old this year. He has a humble personality and an elegant playing style.
He reached his peak right after his debut, averaging 21.7 points and 8.9 rebounds per game in his rookie season, and was selected as an All-Star that year.
Then his strength gradually declined. Last season, he averaged 23 minutes, 8 points and 5 rebounds per game, and his career averages were 13+6.
The Suns scouts' evaluation of his career is that he has stable shooting and center skills, can provide stable rim protection and defensive energy, and is a true center. He was a first-rate center in his peak period and a second-rate center throughout his career.
" Hello."
Cartwright noticed Wang Tiejun's gaze, smiled at him friendly and nodded.
"Hello."
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Comrade Lao Wang immediately returned the smile.
"Kid, are you ready to be dunked by me?" Jordan's voice sounded beside him.
Lao Wang glanced at Jordan and said coldly: "Old Bird, it's up to you to do what you want on the court, but don't provoke me off the court. The media says I'm a violent person. Have you forgotten?"
Jordan was stunned and instantly furious.
"Shit, you damn rookie, you dare to threaten me? Do you dare to hit me off the court? I promise, if you dare to touch me now, the league will not tolerate you, you have to go back to China and continue to be a country bumpkin."
He took a step forward, stretched out his right hand, angrily pointed his index finger at Lao Wang's nose, and shouted loudly.
"Hey, calm down, okay?"
Although Barkley was a good friend of Jordan, he was overwhelmed by Jordan's momentum at this time and could not get involved. He was very anxious.
"Snapped!"
Lao Wang was so angry that he slapped Jordan's hand open and said angrily: "If I do it, I will just beat you up. If I don't get well, you won't get well either. Do you believe it?"
Jordan choked. He saw a look of resolute cruelty in Wang Tiejun's eyes.
"This damn rookie is indeed a guy who has been to prison. He is very ruthless. I don't need to try to flip the table with him. It's not worth it."
He cursed inwardly, but he couldn't lose face, so he cursed again: "Kid, who are you trying to scare? The Pistons wanted to see my blood back then, but now I still stepped on them and won two championships. Who do you think you are?"
"Don't even think about it this year. My brother also wants the championship. Just go wherever is cooler." Lao Wang yelled after looking at Barkley.
"he?"
Jordan looked at Barkley with disdain and said coldly: "With me in the league, he has no hope in this life."
This year is a crucial year for him to build a three-peat dynasty. If Barkley dares to snatch the championship from him, he can kill Barkley.
Barkley was so angry that he shouted, "Michael, don't be so arrogant. You guys are not as good as us in the interior now. We have a better chance of winning."
Jordan looked at Wang Tiejun with disdain and said, "Just relying on this rookie? Does he have any offensive ability? Does he have rebounding ability? Does he have any defense? He has nothing. He is just a placeholder under the basket."
Being called a placeholder under the basket, Lao Wang got furious and cursed: "Old fellow, today I will show you what a placeholder under the basket is."
"Damn it, you called me old?"
Jordan was a little furious. He was only 30 years old and was in his peak condition, from his physical condition to his skills, and then to his control and understanding of the game. How dare this damn country bumpkin say that he was old?
With his competitive spirit, he would not admit old age, not to mention now, even in thirty years, so he yelled at Lao Wang with anger in his eyes: "Damn rookie, if I don't score 50 points today, I will carry your shoes."
"You're the second guy who's going to score 50 points on me. David Robinson made a slip of the tongue. You can't do it either."
Wang Tiejun said unwillingly.
"Third one, Old K, Ewing also seemed to have told the media that he would score 50 points on you." Barkley kindly reminded.
Wang Tiejun was stunned. Brother, is it time for you to remind me of this?
"Ha ha……"
Jordan laughed and said, "Boy, you've just entered the league and you're already making enemies everywhere. I wonder how you're going to survive in the future."
"Michael, isn't it the same for you? Have you forgotten that All-Star Game?" Barkley reminded kindly.
"Shut up, Charles, I know you are not mute, you don't need to nag one sentence after another." Jordan said unhappily.
