Chapter 192 Hope to live up to* (7/12)

"We decided to dedicate this game to the rude white ghosts."

The media was shocked, the reporter was stunned, the teammates were stunned, and Auerbach opened his mouth slightly, and no one expected Haflicek to say such words.

To the discriminators, he is simply an enemy of all white people.

Because he called his fellow countrymen "white ghosts".

No one asked him about the game again, until the press conference ended, they returned to the locker room together, and Auerbach pointed at Haflicecke in front of the team, "You bastards, don't treat John as a rookie anymore! He is not a rookie, he is our courage, our courage!"

Haflicek is the courage and courage of the Celtics.

Red Auerbach said this for the first time.

Starting today, he will emphasize this matter again and again in the next 16 years. Until the day Haflicecke retired, he was the courage and courage of the Celtics.

They took a bus and it took nearly an hour to return to the black community.

Wei Xia felt the welcome of the black man, and it seemed that his deeds had been passed here from the St. Louis Arena.

The black man saluted him, the waiter's hostility disappeared, and the black pearl at the front desk even threw a charming look at him, "You must not ignore men."

Whether or not this black pearl is real is not something Wei Xia needs to care about.

Let Havlicek decide for himself.

Wei Xia went back to her room to take a shower and sleep as he expected.

Although the day was long and he played a real game, he would still fall asleep, head to the pure black world, and enter the arena again.

His consciousness left Haflicke's body.

In a purely dark world, he still cannot understand the secrets of this world.

He wanted to know if this is just a simple "land of trial". If so, then why did he possess the Skywalker through this place?

Can he possess other historical superstars to be tested and gain their talents?

There were many questions in front of Wei Xia, but he had no answers.

There is only one thing he wants to confirm now.

He quickly arrived at the light curtain of the Celtics away against the Hawks on October 30, 1962.

Including the old days, Wei Xia has played this game seven times. This time, he didn't want to play, he just wanted to go in and watch the game to see if he changed history.

Wei Xia entered the light curtain, and her consciousness floated above the St. Louis Arena, and could vaguely hear the swearing words of the white ghosts.

After a while, the game begins.

The scenes that happened in front of me were too familiar because Wei Xia himself was the witness.

Bill Russell's dominant opening, referee targeting, Haflicecke's pick-and-roll attack...

The first time, the second time, it turns out that the pick-and-roll he played in the game is like this?

He really wanted to laugh, Sanders' pick-and-roll would be blown to cover when placed in Hyundai.

Then, Sanders was blew up with that false offensive foul, and Auerbach's roar was like a flame igniting a powder barrel, causing the scene to lose control.

Then there was the ball that made everyone's hearts thrill.

His talent followed his consciousness and anger through time and space. Wei Xia did not realize that he was just too angry and could not think normally. He broke through Brother Rabbit's defense in one step, broke into the inside line, and faced the front-line in the air, defeated Bob Pettit, and smashed into the dunk that made the whole audience lose voice.

Then, with the Allen Iverson-style "listening" gesture, Wei Xia was sure to have a reporter take a photo.

He really changed history, just like the highest light battle in Skywalker's career.

and Haflicek's retirement battle.

History has been changed by him for the third time.

※※※

Wei Xia was woken up by the alarm clock.

When he woke up, he turned off the alarm clock flexibly like a person who had never fallen asleep, without any sleepiness.

The biggest benefit of the old times was that he had experienced two periods of life without affecting his rest.

Wei Xia looked at the time and found it at 7 a.m.

He didn't bother to wash up, opened the notebook on the desk, and searched "bosto                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   �

(October 30, 1962 Boston Celtics vs. St. Louis Hawks)

He first found the war report of that year and saw detailed data statistics.

He saw the words "'Hondo' John Haflicek played his bravery in this battle and completed a dunk that was still amazed by his witnesses after many years."

Then, he saw the memoir written by the reporter.

The article was published in 2002.

“Looking back 40 years ago: ‘The greatness that Hondo created in St. Louis’!”

The author was a witness of the game. He was only 10 years old at the time and truthfully described the atmosphere of the game.

"Under the racial discrimination trend, no one can survive alone, and aggressive words about skin color continue to be in the audience."

He didn't even excuse himself.

"I saw the adults saying those hurtful words, and I also started shouting."

He knew that they did that ultimately led to the tragedy of the Hawks.

"People nowadays don't know why the Celtics fought back then. Champions are just part of their road to success. Any attack on race and skin color will make them more resilient."

Then there is the core of the whole text, Havlicek's performance.

"'Hondo' adopted an offensive approach similar to modern basketball, scoring through pick-and-rolls continuously, and at the climax of the conflict on the court, he completed a dunk that I will never forget against the Hawks' best player in history Bob Pettit!"

"He made the 'listening' gesture 40 years ahead of Allen Iverson. As a white man, standing firmly beside his black teammates under the threat of hatred. After the game, he angrily denounced the white men who made discriminatory remarks as 'white ghosts' and never regretted saying these things. If you ask me why the Celtics were so successful, I may not be able to tell you in all kinds of things. But I can be sure that relying on each other, trusting each other, supporting each other, fighting for each other, not fighting for fans, not fighting for their own salary, fighting for survival and faith, fighting for brotherhood, dignity, and pride, this is the 'Boston glory Celtics'!"

This witness concluded with this: "It is a pity that the 'Glorious Celtics' has disappeared with the departure of those people today 40 years later."

Wei Xia's heart was beating violently, and the detailed description of the article and the summary of the "Glory Celtics" resonated with him.

It's really ironic. He is a Lakers player and the fan who doesn't like the Celtics the most. He actually gained a foothold in the league with the talent of the Celtics' celebrities, and now he is moved by their story.

All this is because their stories are just stories to others, and although they cannot be regarded as witnesses, they can also be regarded as witnesses.

He witnessed their story in Haflicek.

What he did last night, when he woke up, was already a story 40 years ago.

His memory is still so clear that he doesn't know how to express it in this article.

He only hopes that what he did impulse did not put Haflicke in a difficult situation. He only hopes that things did not get worse.

The article says that Havlicek never regretted it, so maybe he did nothing wrong.

Maybe.

Wei Xia closed the notebook and looked at the time. Unexpectedly, 20 minutes passed.

He was fascinated by reading the article just now, but he didn't notice the passage of time. Now he turned on the computer and felt very hungry.

After walking out of the room, the house was empty, and the brother and sister were in Philadelphia. They should have had a fulfilling Thanksgiving Day. The Lakers' failure to defeat the Nets last night may be the only shortcoming.

Wei Xia changed her clothes and received a call from her agent.

"I have good news," said Feigan. "Adidas hopes to sign with you."

Wei Xia asked bluntly: "How much do they want to give me?"

"Uh... are you short of money?" Feigan asked.

"Isn't this the most important thing?" Wei Xia knew nothing about these things.

"No, the publicity platform and publicity intensity are the most important. I look forward to receiving calls from Nike, but at present it seems that Adidas is more sincere." Feigan said, "We just communicated initially, and it depends on your meaning. Are you interested?"

With Wei Xia's performance in the Lakers - currently averaging 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game, as the sixth man on the bench, with 25 minutes of playing time per game, he should be very good - he should not lack endorsements and advertisements. However, his neglect of the media and his rush-style answers that make people uninterested in him have weakened the role of this treasure land in Los Angeles in improving his personal reputation.

If he hadn't often made dunks and was very popular among the fans, Adidas wouldn't have come to him.

Wei Xia thought about it and asked professional things to be left to professionals. "If you think they are sincere and should not be missed, I'm fine."

"I know what you mean, leave the rest to me." Feigan told Wei Xia some unimportant family matters and hung up the phone.

There was no one at home, Wei Xia prepared breakfast freely and called to the Los Angeles-area channel to see if there was anything new.

The biggest new thing: The Lakers, who are in urgent need of the inside, have a crush on the Memphis Grizzlies' first-year forward Lawrence Roberts (lawres                                         

They also enthusiastically played Roberts' data: currently averaging 1.5 points and 1.5 rebounds.

His data makes obsessive-compulsive disorder very comfortable, and by the way, real fans are dying of their expectations for him.

"Why are the Lakers so keen to pick up these rags that others don't want? It's so strange. Does the scouting department make a living?" The comments from the TV station were deeply loved by Wei Xia.
