Many players in Rucker Park look down on NBA players.
In their opinion, NBA players are just taller and stronger, their skills are not as good as theirs, and they are not even qualified to carry their shoes.
Of course, there are also NBA superstars who conquered Rucker Park with their skills.
For example, Durant once scored 60 on this court.
Although Carter didn't score many points, his alley-oop windmill dunk won the applause of all the fans.
Being a demigod is no joke.
Kobe also scored 15 points in the half here.
Iverson is one of the most popular NBA players here. His sudden changes of direction can always make defenders lose their way.
In fact, Wang Yi had wanted to visit Rucker Park for a long time.
But one thing happened after another during the offseason, and he was so busy that he never had time to go.
"Wang Yi, how do you pronounce this sentence in Chinese - please forgive me... I'm not sure about this word."
While Wang Yi was booking a flight, Barnes came over.
Then he saw Wang Yi booking a flight on his mobile phone. He was shocked and asked, "Why are you booking a flight? Where are you going? You promised to teach me this song."
"I have to go to Rucker Park."
"Oh, my god! Are you crazy?"
It was as if Barnes had heard the craziest thing: "You can go to him if you want, but you can't go to Rucker Park. Especially if you are Chinese."
"Oh, not only am I looking for him, I also want to play a game."
"Oh, no, no, no no no..."
Barnes said 7 or 8 nos in a row.
He shook his head like a bobblehead: "You're crazy, I'm sure you're absolutely crazy. It's not friendly to any outsiders there, especially when they know you are an NBA player, they will target you everywhere. Not to mention you are still an
Chinese people, you will become the target of their ridicule, insult and even abuse."
"Now you challenge their court. They will kill you."
Wang Yi chuckled, rubbed his hands expectantly, and his eyes shone brightly:
"Wouldn't it be more exciting to conquer them in that case?"
Barnes still shook his head: "Do you know how Beasley was humiliated? Even the great Dr. J, Julius Erving, was deflated there."
Wang Yi chuckled: "This will make it more challenging."
Barnes looked at Wang Yi and said seriously: "I mean not only that you will be humiliated on the court, but your personal safety may even be threatened."
Although Wang Yi is willing to challenge, he is not crazy enough to ignore his own personal safety.
He pondered slightly: "What should I do? You have to help me find a way."
"The best thing to do is not to go, especially not to attend their games."
Barnes said solemnly.
"That's not possible, I have to participate."
Barnes sighed, turned on his phone, and found a guide from the Internet: "See for yourself."
I saw that the guide didn't have many words.
It’s said to be a guide, but it’s actually just a few things to note:
Before going to Rucker Park, you have to be mentally prepared.
1: Don’t look at others easily, and don’t talk to people standing on the roadside easily;
2: Never walk, be sure to drive;
3: Never come empty-handed.
4: Maybe your brand-name sneakers and camera will be taken away, and maybe you will be beaten up because you accidentally glanced at those Harlem neighborhoods. But if you really come, it means that you have a deep understanding of the legend of Locke.
Respect, you are already worthy of respect, but you must be accompanied by guys who grew up in Harlem, and listen to them in everything. This is the rule, and the holy place is the holy place.
Wang Yi was speechless when he saw these precautions.
It seems very serious.
"So without a kid who knows the Harlem neighborhood, you're going to suffer."
Wang Yi thought for a while: "That's right."
"So you'd better not go there. It's better to study music with me here. Hilde will be back after finishing the competition in a few days - I guess that guy will be autistic for a long time after he comes back -
Then you can talk about basketball with him."
Wang Yi shook his head: "No, I must go."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Barnes lowered his head helplessly: "Oh, it doesn't matter if you die, who taught me to sing "In the Name of the Father"."
Under Barnes' unreasonable gaze, Wang Yi made a phone call.
"Brother Yao."
A somewhat rough voice came from the other side: "I heard that you were traded to the Kings. I was planning to call and ask about the situation."
Wang Yi briefly explained the situation.
A voice came from over there: "I don't think you need my comfort."
As he spoke, he laughed.
Wang Yi nodded: "Of course, I'm fine. I called today mainly to ask for the phone number of Political Commissar Ma."
Political Commissar Ma is Marbury.
Former NBA star, now head coach of China Capital Team.
He grew up on the streets of New York.
Very famous in Rucker Park.
Is Rucker Park dangerous?
It doesn't matter, we have people.
"I will send you the phone number right now. It just so happens that he has returned to New York recently. But let me ask more, what do you want to see him for?"
"I want to go to Rucker Park."
Wang Yi gave a straightforward answer.
Yao Ming was silent for a moment.
"Wang Yi, I know that with your personality, you will go to Rucker Park sooner or later, and you must go. But I still want to advise you, it is best not to go. Firstly, it is a bit dangerous for us Chinese people, and secondly, it is easy to be
Fight autism.”
"Is it really as difficult to fight there as the rumors on the Internet say?"
Wang Yi asked.
"It's harder to fight than the legend says."
Wang Yi felt that the blood in his chest had begun to boil:
"So I must go and conquer there."
The other side paused for a few seconds, looking a little helpless: "Okay, just pay attention to your safety."
A moment later, Yao Ming sent Marbury's phone number.
Wang Yi made a call and asked to identify himself.
Marbury looked very enthusiastic: "It turns out to be Wang Yi. I am in New York now. You are in the offseason anyway. Do you want to come over and have fun?"
Marbury is the coach and Wang Yi was a player for the domestic team.
The two of them have met several times as rivals, but they are not very familiar with each other.
I think Yao Ming must have informed Marbury in advance and asked him to take care of him, so he was so enthusiastic.
Thinking of this, Wang Yi felt a little warm in his heart.
"Of course, actually I want to go to Rucker Park."
Wang Yi replied.
Marbury paused: "Are you sure you want to go?"
Wang Yi's answer was firm: "Of course, but I heard that it is very dangerous there, especially for Chinese people. So I want to ask you if there is anything you need to pay attention to."
Marbury smiled: "Actually, it's not as dangerous as the rumors on the Internet say. I happen to be planning to go to Rucker Park tomorrow, let's go together."
"That's best. Give me your address and I'll book the flight now."
When Barnes saw that Wang Yi was really leaving, he became a little anxious: "How about I go with you?"
"What are you going to do? Didn't you say it's dangerous there?"
"That's why I want to protect you."
"No, no, I've always liked to be alone. You're too much of a burden."
"I'll give you a flight ticket, so let's go to the head office."
Wang Yi smiled: "That's it, then I will reluctantly agree to it."
He naturally knew that Barnes pestered him to learn singing.
Chapter completed!
