Chapter 109 Visiting the Pacers

Next, the two continued their toughest confrontation.

He Zhongqiu's nose was bleeding, the postman's mouth was broken, and there was a six-centimeter cut on his left eyebrow, with blood all over his face.

In general, the one who got the advantage was of course He Zhongqiu, because more elbow strikes were concentrated on the chest, abdomen, waist and back, and he had an iron vest.

The postman also fell into He Zhongqiu's provocation, otherwise, with his cleverness and character, he would not have elbowed the opponent like that.

After the first half of the game, the postman took off his clothes as soon as he entered the player tunnel.

People who saw it were shocked. There were bruises all over his chest and back, very clear.

"Carl, Wolverine is too cruel." John Stockton said angrily.

"I didn't show any mercy either. He must be covered with scars." The postman snorted coldly, frowning as he had more than twenty stitches on.

"Postman, are you in such a hurry to leave? Do you want to go back to the locker room to apply medicine?" He Zhongqiu's smug and teasing voice was heard from behind.

"You're different?" the Postman snapped back.

"Me? Hehehe!"

He Zhongqiu grabbed the collar and tore it hard. With a ripping sound, the jersey was torn in two.

"how is this possible?"

The postman's eyes widened because Wolverine had no wounds on his chest or back, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"It's called kung fu."

He Zhongqiu patted the postman's head with a smile and walked over.

"how is this possible?"

The postman still didn't want to believe what he saw.

"Don't forget he can rip a wardrobe apart with his bare hands."

John Stockton warned, "Karl, don't go hard with him in the second half. This guy may smile at you on the surface, but he's really ruthless."

The postman was silent for a moment, but nodded.

He touched his chest and felt pain in many of his ribs, which might be a fracture. He didn't dare to elbow in the second half and had to go to the hospital for a check-up after the game.

Fifteen minutes later, the second half began.

"Tough guy, come on!"

He Zhongqiu saw that the postman kept a distance from him and immediately challenged him.

The postman glared at him but still kept a safe distance.

He entered the basket to attack, and after receiving the ball, he was about to hit the postman. The next moment, his elbow just touched the postman, and the postman fell to the ground with a scream.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle blew.

Offensive foul, he was a little confused, this guy is one of the four evil men, the postman? This is the tough guy style? Isn't this a fake fall?

"OK, postman, I have to make one thing clear to you. I am a professional in both acting and fraud."

Two minutes later, the Jazz attacked, and the Postman was running on the left wing. When he received the ball, He Zhongqiu came up to him.

The postman followed his style of playing, and after catching the ball he swung his elbows to push He Zhongqiu away.

But just as he swung his elbow, He Zhongqiu took the initiative to use his face to meet the tip of his elbow, then cried out in pain, suddenly flipped backwards, and fell to the ground.

Next, his acting skills exploded. He covered his face and rolled over on the ground, unable to get up. He looked very painful, which scared the madmen so much that they hurried over.

The postman was a little confused. He knew very well what he had just done. He didn't do anything and didn't touch Wolverine at all. Was he going to be blackmailed?
The referee was also shocked and said, "Postman, don't make trouble."

He hurried over, pushed away the confused Karl Malone, and then gave a first-degree flagrant foul penalty.

"..."

The postman felt like snow was falling on his head. How unfair!
"Oh, the mailman's movements are a bit too aggressive. This is troublesome. Wolverine won't use force, right?"

"It's over. If Wolverine can get up, he won't fight, right?"

At the Delta Center, fans started talking.

After receiving a fair penalty, He Zhongqiu climbed up with the help of his teammates and walked to the free throw line amid the concerns of all Jazz fans. He was going to take the penalty himself.

"call!"

Seeing that Wolverine did not use violence, Jazz fans all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, the postman's movements were too big. It would be troublesome if it caused a fight. You should give him a second-degree flagrant foul and let him go directly." He Zhongqiu said to the referee.

"Shet!"

The postman was so angry that he swore.

Seeing He Zhongqiu who was unharmed, the referee's face turned a little gloomy after realizing what was happening.

Wolverine, you really deserve to be the NBA's best actor. Now that you've made money, stop being a postman. This is his home court.

In the end, the Knicks won the game by 15 points.

He Zhongqiu played only 30 minutes, scored 17 points and 12 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of 51.6%.

The Knicks' leading scorer in this game was Kurt Thomas, who scored 28 points.

The Postman played for 26 minutes and only played for 8 minutes in the second half due to foul problems. He scored 14 points and 7 rebounds, but his shooting percentage was not high and was defended by He Zhongqiu at only 35%.

……

On the morning of April 4th, He Zhongqiu contacted Yang Xue.

"Hey, three pounds?"

"Sister Xue, have you finished filming? After you finish, come to the United States to play. I will play in the playoffs in about a week."

"It just so happens that my scenes will be finished next week."

"Okay, I'll have someone pick you up in Los Angeles. Have fun in America this time. You're not short of money, so have fun however you want."

"Okay, let's eat at the rich man's house, hehe!"

The brother and sister chatted for more than ten minutes before hanging up the phone, and He Zhongqiu called Wu Jing again.

"Hey, Zhongqiu, why are you so free today to call me?"

"Brother Jing, I just heard from Sister Xue that you are free recently?"

"Alas, I've been idle for half a year. I'm almost going moldy."

"WC, you've been idle for half a year, why don't you come over to play with me?"

"How can you be in the mood for fun?"

"Then stop talking nonsense and come over here to relax. My playoffs are about to start. After the playoffs, let's go to Hollywood."

"You have connections in Hollywood?"

When Wu Jing heard this, he immediately sat up from the sofa.

"If you don't have a way, you might find it after a while. Brother Jing, last time I said I wanted to change my career to play basketball, but I didn't have a way. Wasn't it because I found you that I found Brother Xia's way? Come here first, let's stop talking nonsense."

"Okay then. By the way, where's Yang Xue? She's almost done filming her drama."

"She's coming too. Contact her and come together."

"to make."

After hanging up the phone, He Zhongqiu called the company's agent Mike Johnson and asked him to ask the Knicks management for home tickets for the playoffs.

NBA is a business, and a portion of the game tickets are always reserved for the team's superstars, the league headquarters, celebrities, politicians, celebrities, businessmen, etc. Of course, family tickets are also prepared for the players. His family ticket has never been used. Xia Song does not need his family ticket to watch the game. The team will prepare tickets for the player's agent.

But after thinking about it, Mike Johnson didn't know Yang Xue and Wu Jing, so he called Xia Song.

"Brother Xia, I want to arrange courtside tickets for Sister Xue and Brother Jing for every home game," he asked.

Xia Song said: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is very difficult to get courtside tickets for the Knicks home games. Several vice presidents of the NBA league often sit in the back row, not to mention the playoffs. During the playoffs, even second-tier Hollywood stars can't sit in the front row."

"What should I do? If not, I can just pay for it, okay?"

"No, I'll talk to Mr. Leiden. If it doesn't work, the back row may be fine." Xia Song said.

"My sister comes to watch the game and sits in the back row? That's so embarrassing. She has to sit in the front row." He Zhongqiu said.

"Okay, I'll call and ask first." Xia Song said hurriedly.

After hanging up the phone, he called Leiden.

"Sideline tickets? Mr. Xia, are you sure this is Wolverine's family member?"

When Raiden heard that He Zhongqiu wanted family tickets, and they were courtside tickets at that, he was a little confused. As far as he knew, Wolverine no longer had any family.

"Well, they are not considered family members."

Xia Song explained: "Let me put it this way, Mr. Raiden, one is a friend. It was this friend who introduced Wolverine to me, so I had the opportunity to recommend it to the Knicks. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten Wolverine."

"oh, I see."

Leiden said hurriedly: "Okay, Mr. Xia, I will make arrangements. I will arrange courtside tickets for Wolverine's friend at every home game."

Xia Song was a little confused when he heard this. Is it that easy?
As far as he knew, tickets for the Knicks' first two home games in the first round had already been sold out. A courtside ticket was priced at $7000, and two tickets would cost $. Was it arranged just like that?

"Mr. Xia, where is the other one?" Leiden asked again.

Xia Song hurriedly said, "The other one is Wolverine's sister, and they are very close. You also know that Wolverine has no relatives, and this one is his only relative."

"OK, Mr. Xia, please tell Wolverine that I will arrange the best two positions in each home game." said Redden.

The next morning, there was no one at the training base, so He Zhongqiu did physical training alone, doing two sets of 84-kilogram bench presses, 9 times in each set.

Recalling the original tryout, he said to his personal trainer Felton: "Green, I didn't know the bench press technique at that time, otherwise it would definitely be more than 200 kilograms."

"Want to test it again?" Felton showed interest.

"Just test it."

Greenfeld was shocked by this test because He Zhongqiu easily pushed up 210 kilograms in the first try.

"Wolverine, I bet your absolute strength is more terrifying than the Postman's," he said.

"I've seen the bench press data of those football players, theirs are even more terrifying," said He Zhongqiu.

Felton shook his head and said, "No, Wolverine, you don't understand football. Not all football players can bench press so well. It depends on the specific position. Some positions require speed and flexibility.

Even in those positions that require strength, it is because they weigh more than you. They all weigh over 140 kg or even 160 kg.

Moreover, their height cannot reach two meters, and few people can reach 190 centimeters. You can imagine how developed their muscles are.

If you build that much muscle, you can become really strong to a degree that's truly formidable."

He Zhongqiu nodded. Those football players were all very big and full of muscles. Their strength must be above level 95.

He measured it again and pushed 220 kilograms up.

The third time was 230 kg, and then I didn’t try again.

……

June 4, New York, Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks' last regular season game is against the Pacers.

The Pacers' current record is the worst in the league. Only three of the top five main players are left. Point guard Jamaal Tinsley is no longer useful, and Metta World Peace is also no longer useful.

Tinsley was the 01th pick in the first round of the 27 draft. His rookie contract lasted until next season, with only $86. His contract was directly bought out by the Pacers and he has announced his retirement.

Artest, who changed his name to Metta World Peace, is still in the fourth and final year of his rookie contract, but the Pacers have announced that they will not renew his contract.

Although the Pacers' personnel losses were not very huge, their loss of morale was the greatest. The entire team has completely collapsed. No one plays with their heart anymore and everyone wants to escape from the team.

In the home team's locker room, He Zhongqiu was not in a hurry to change clothes. It was only half past six and it was still early.

"Boss, how many times?" Harrington shouted in broken Mandarin.

Now this guy is He Zhongqiu's most loyal younger brother. He was the first one to call out the boss, and then the title started in the Knicks.

"Touch a few."

He Zhongqiu cursed.

Harrington thought he agreed and hurried into the weight room to start setting up the table.

This is not an away game, the home table is a carefully customized mahjong table, very high-end, and there is also a set of chairs.

Not wanting to bother with Harrington, He Zhongqiu stood up and took out a box of cigars from the closet, gave one to each person, and said:

"Come on, light it up first, then follow me to the visiting team's locker room, we'll go visit them."

"Visiting class?"

Madman and others were stunned, Wolverine, do you think this is Hollywood? If you want to beat someone up, just say so, and we can watch another show.

A group of more than a dozen players, each biting a cigar, headed towards the visiting team's locker room under the leadership of He Zhongqiu.

Alan Houston didn't want to be excluded by the others, so he followed them, smoking a cigar and wearing a top hat to look more refined.

"Hey, who are you?"

"Where are the security guards? Call them over."

Outside the visiting team's locker room, several Pacers managers saw a group of aggressive people approaching, all of them with cigars in their mouths. In front of them was a giant in a suit and sunglasses, with an extraordinary aura and a look like a godfather. They thought they were gangsters and immediately panicked.

"Don't panic, it's Wolverine."

Larry Bird stepped forward and blocked the door.

"Hey, everyone, we're here to visit the set."

He Zhongqiu took off his cigar and sunglasses and waved.

"Visiting class?"

The Pacers looked at each other in bewilderment. "Wolverine, do you think this is Hollywood? We are in this situation, and you still won't let us go?"
He Zhongqiu ignored everyone else and looked at Larry Bird in front of him. He felt that he looked familiar. Where had he seen this old guy before?

"Rookie, don't you know me?" Larry Bird said with a smile.

"Wolverine, this is Big Bird, Big Bird Larry Bird." The madman reminded from behind.

"Oh!"

He Zhongqiu then remembered that there seemed to be such a person in the NBA who was quite powerful.

"Rookie, this is the visiting team's locker room, not the place for you to come. Tell me, what do you want to do?" Larry Bird asked firmly.

"I told you, I'll visit you on set."

He Zhongqiu was actually not familiar with Larry Bird, and he ignored him and pushed him aside, then pushed the door open and walked into the visiting team's locker room.

"Damn it! Wolverine, stop right there, let's play!"

Larry Bird was furious. He had never been humiliated like this before.

"Don't try to force it on him, Larry."

He wanted to stop it, but was hugged and pulled aside by his colleague next to him.
