Chapter 2: One-on-One with the Starting Center of the Suns

West appeared very pleased, as his abilities were quite average, and he held little status within the team. It was merely due to his age that he had gained some experience, and the three prominent figures were willing to heed his advice, which made him feel quite honored

The driver is Ewing, the Suns are visiting New York for the first time this season, Barkley wants to have Chinese food, and he is treating today

He took off his coat and first walked to the lower left wing, positioning himself just outside the boundary of the paint area, pointing at Wang Tiejun and shouting: "Come here and die, kid"

Seeing the shocked expressions of several people including Barkley, Wang Tiejun was also taken aback. Was there some misunderstanding?

OK

Old Wang? The strongest, NO1

Wang Tiejun also stood up. He did not expect that just after the system issued a task related to the NBA, two superstars would be presented to him. Could this be destined by heaven? No, it is destined by the system

He agreed, and of course, Kolanglo would not say anything, while the taciturn Ewin would say even less.

Hello, brother, who are you..." Barkley asked curiously

Wang Tiejun paid no attention, sitting on the sidelines continuing to eat his hamburger, preparing to later trick these not-so-intelligent black brothers into a one-on-one match, to earn a little pocket money

He joined the Cangzhou Sports School men's basketball team in September 1987, entered the Hebei provincial team in November 1989, was selected for the national youth team in October 1990, and had even caught the attention of the national team.

"Fist, basketball, choose as you wish." Wang Tiejun immediately responded, showing no hesitation

Eh?

Come on, fool

I will act as the referee

At the same time, Kolanglo, out of professional habit, was sizing up Wang Tiejun from head to toe

What he actually referred to here is the area of Chinatown, but Barkley and the others thought he meant that he is the strongest among all the centers here now

He was quite surprised; in fact, this reflects his lack of experience. His strength is already considerable, and an increase of 10% would mean advancing ten feet further on a hundred-foot pole. Therefore, a 10% increase is already significant. Moreover, as long as he applies it appropriately during the competition, combined with the team's effective tactics, it could potentially lead to a qualitative change in results

However, there is nothing surprising about this; Old Wang's strength has always been formidable, and he has been practicing martial arts since childhood. He trains daily, maintaining a stable lower body. Martial arts emphasize the balance of strength in the upper, middle, and lower regions, and his exceptional strength lies precisely in this aspect, with no weaknesses, all aspects being strong.

He found it very interesting and turned to Ewin beside him to see what this gorilla thought

Mr. Kelongluo, Charles, just around the corner is Chinatown, where parking is difficult, so let's get off here

Additionally, the general manager of the Suns, Jerry Colangelo, and the starting center, Mark West, were also in the car, and today they wanted to try Chinese cuisine as well

The host replied, "Heaven does not completely cut off a person's path; perhaps there will be a turning point, and after the dark will come the light of another village."

Mark West wanted to say that he did not mean to insult him; he was merely expressing his habitual discrimination against Chinese people. However, faced with the serious expression of his boss, Kolanglo, he could only lower his head and quietly say: "I apologize"

"Let's go." Barkley nodded

The strength is acceptable, and the ability to resist is also satisfactory

Not only was he surprised, but all the experts present were also astonished

What are the flying pigs doing here

Fighting is not allowed

With a cold snort, Wang Tiejun also began to take off his coat

Kelangluo was originally indifferent, but at this moment, his attention was immediately focused as he squinted his eyes and looked towards Wang Tiejun

I am so hungry

The black man passed the ball over, shouting in unison against the common enemy

After a few minutes, a large-displacement SUV stopped by the roadside

While munching on a hamburger, he strolled casually down the street, his mind wandering aimlessly.

"Yellow-skinned kid, your clothes must be stolen, right?" West mocked audaciously

Wang Tiejun muttered to himself in a daze: "Is there another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright?"

This somewhat tattered coat was taken from a trash can after he fended off two homeless men. It is a bit small, very warm, but somewhat difficult to take off.

Mark West smiled at Wang Tiejun, much like a tiger grinning menacingly at a sheep, with a distinctly ferocious implication

Wang Tiejun retorted in Tianjin dialect and continued to take off his coat

Barkley was very shocked and said: "Do you think you are the most powerful center?"

Let me teach you a lesson

However, the incident in December led to imprisonment, and this bright path in life has been completely destroyed. It has been nearly two years since he last received professional training. As the saying goes, if you do not advance, you will fall behind; his current abilities may not even be as good as they were two years ago. Can he really start over?

This large hamburger costs two dollars each, contains a lot of beef, and can provide both calories and nutrition, making it more cost-effective than eating Chinese food, and it is also simple

His gaze naturally fell upon Wang Tiejun, who was a head taller than the others

Brother, I am giving you face, but he needs to apologize; otherwise, I will make him crawl out of Chinatown today

Wang Tiejun greeted Barkley warmly

Hello, brother, welcome to Chinatown

I ... ...

He strongly dislikes racial discrimination and is displeased with the remarks related to racial discrimination made by teammates and people present, as his wife is white. Many of his Black friends and relatives often discriminate against his wife in his presence, which infuriates him

Black brothers generally do not have high intelligence; perhaps by muddling through and maintaining relationships, they might manage to secure some opportunities.

Barkley stepped forward and said: "You are all centers, so let's have a low-post one-on-one. Each person will take two shots, just to get a feel for it, as we don't have much time to waste."

"Look, someone is playing ball. How about we go take a look? I'm not too hungry right now," said Mark West.

"Ha, I can't believe that backstrokes can improve so much?" Wang Tiejun instantly became excited, not expecting that Tieshankao had such a significant effect

Dog food, does your mother know who your father is?

Next, brother, teach him a good lesson. He always bullies us here, tricks us into a one-on-one match, and wins our money.

Hey, brother, pass me the ball, let me teach this Chinese person a lesson

As soon as the four of them entered, especially Barkley and Ewing, they were immediately recognized, and several players were astonished and began to shout.

What is he thinking about? Of course, he is thinking about how to obtain a job with an NBA team. This system task leaves him completely at a loss.

A few players on the court began to shout and yell; unable to compete with Wang Tiejun, they sought to incite Barkley and a few others to take action

He immediately stepped out from behind Barkley and shouted at Wang Tiejun: "Chinese guy, come over for a one-on-one fight"

F**k you

There is also Mark West, who, although he is merely a blue-collar worker in the league, cannot tolerate an Asian person boasting in front of him, especially a Chinese person.

Yao Ming's eyes revealed a clear expression of anger; in front of him, a humble Chinese man actually dared to consider himself the most powerful center here. Who gave you the audacity?

A few black men playing basketball were discussing among themselves, occasionally shooting a fierce glare at Wang Tiejun.

Hey, hey, brother, wait a moment...

Are you crazy, Chinese person

Upon seeing this, Barkley quickly stepped in front and advised, "This is my teammate, please do me a favor and forgive him"

After doing three hours of strenuous work, he patted his stomach and went out to the street to buy two Big Mac hamburgers

Wang Tiejun smiled and said: "I am Chinese, you can call me Old Wang, my position is center, and I am the strongest center here"

The increase of up to 10% in strength has raised my low-position back attack by 15 levels? Is the effect of strength so significant? It seems I still need to continue practicing my Iron Mountain technique, I cannot let it go!

"Brother, just wait and see the good show," Mark West said after receiving the ball

He then angrily said to Colangelo and Buckley: "But he just insulted me, I need to teach this kid a lesson"

Barkley shook his head and said helplessly, "Basketball, you solve problems with one-on-one matches"

But that is all there is to it; they do not dare to use more offensive language, especially those iconic racial slurs such as "Chink" and "Yellow Monkey." When they initially used these terms to insult Wang Tiejun, they were beaten up, and they have learned their lesson.

Mark West excitedly shouted at a Black brother who was holding the ball

This damned Chinese person is here again

These finishing moves do not improve, lacking that final twitch. No matter how good the back-to-the-basket technique is, it is of little use, because he cannot always get to the basket to shoot. This is also why his low-post close-range offense is only at level 50

Transmission completed, the integration of relevant technical resources has concluded, the maximum increase in reliance on strength can reach 10%, and related skills have been enhanced, specifically as follows: low post backdown has been upgraded from level 70 to level 85, low post confrontation has been upgraded from level 90 to level 91, overall offensive strength in the paint has been upgraded from level 70 to level 72, and individual defense has been upgraded from level 70 to level 75

His personality is just too peculiar; although he dislikes the Chinese person in front of him, he is too lazy to say anything, after all, it is merely a matter of boasting

His personality is very reclusive, but he and Barkley are both friends of Jordan. Through this connection with Jordan, the two can be considered friends, and they have some interactions off the court when playing away games

"Mark West, apologize to this gentleman," said Colangelo solemnly at that moment

If he knew that Wang Tiejun was manipulating his intelligence, he might not be so good-tempered

He wants to deceive us out of our money again, do not engage with him

Damn it, he is too arrogant! Barkley, Ewing, you need to teach him a lesson

Oh, it turns out to be a gorilla

System, why don't you change the task? I could go play street basketball instead He wanted to negotiate with the system

Yao Ming is not fond of speaking; his personality is eccentric and aloof, and he is even less likely to interact with fans. Therefore, Barkley stepped forward and greeted with a smile.

Kelangluo also shook his head, saying such words in front of a super center; this young man from China is too arrogant

At this moment, he walked out of Chinatown, and not far after turning the corner was an outdoor basketball court surrounded by iron fencing, into which he turned with familiarity

However, he soon felt somewhat frustrated, as among all his finishing techniques, only the layup was passable; other skills such as hook shots and floaters were subpar. Whenever he was not near the basket, his overall finishing ability was quite poor

Do not pay attention to him

Upon hearing the term "Chinese," Wang Tiejun, who was already furious, smashed the remaining bit of his hamburger onto Mark West's body, and immediately rushed forward, ready to slap him with his large ears.

After finally taking off his coat, he stood behind Mark West, pressing his exceptionally solid chest against him

Mark West tentatively leaned back a bit, remaining completely still, then pushed harder, yet still could not budge it, which surprised him

Hello, guys! You continue to play, and we will just watch.

He glanced at the two of them and said to Mark West, "Mark, you go first"
