Chapter 537: Incident.

(TLN: This is an alternate world based of our own, that’s what I’m telling myself because the rules of the NBA here seems to be different, or the author is just that dumb. Generally in the playoff, the team ahead in the standing would play the first two games at their homecourt before playing the next two games at the other team’s court, then alternating each game following it until game seven.)

Two days later at the Moda Center in Portland.

The 20k seat arena was filled.

There were 15k Blazers fans and also 3k Lakers fans as well as 2k Chinese oversea students.

Chen Huan couldn’t help but feel the pressure when he saw them wear the national flag colored clothes and chanted his name in unison.

Before the game started, Charles Barkley heard them and said to his broadcaster partner Kenny Smith, “Look at that, this is how popular Chen Huan is! There’s so many Chinese in the US!”

“And this is Portland, if this was a big city like New York or Los Angeles, the Chinese could literally fill the arena.” Kenny Smith said, “They would do this even if he was an average player, let alone after his great first game.”

“Well, whether Chen Huan is a short peak or has really the potential of a NBA superstar, we still have to continue to observe, one game can’t decide it all.” Barkley waved his hand.

“The company also thought so and that’s why they sent us here.” Kenny laughed.

The two were a golden pair from TNT and were responsible for analyzing the best games.

They were commentating on the Cavs previously but were urgently transferred to here.

This also could represent the public opinion of the US recently.

Although Chen Huan was stellar in his previous game, there were many people that put insane stats in the NBA.

Let alone in a single game, some did it for an entire season!

The key point was whether they could last!

Superstars like MJ, Kobe, Iverson, Duncan and Lebron had maintained their super high competitive state for more than a decade so it was something highly admired and sought after.

It wasn’t a place where people bragged after a game or two… it wasn’t like football where people started calling you the next Messi etc… after scoring a goal.

So US sport media praised Chen Huan for having a godlike performance two days ago but it wasn’t that highly covered.

Their focus was still on the super teams like the Warriors and the Cavs.

Even if the Lakers ended up third in the Conference, not many people believed they could make it to the finals.

After all, the spot for the Western Conference was occupied by the heavy favorite Warriors.

The Lakers had to defeat the Warriors but they were the team who broke the regular season record as well as last year’s champions, which was a very tough team.

But all of this didn’t affect the lively atmosphere in the Moda Center.

The Blazers fans were upset by their team loss in the first game and felt they were just caught off guard by the Lakers.

Now that they knew better and knew that Chen Huan was very good, they could definitely turn it around if they made the necessary change.

They couldn’t see that the two main players from the Lakers, Kobe and Iverson, completely couldn’t play in the intensity of the game.

They would be able to win as long as they restrained Chen Huan!

Actually, it was also because of Kobe and Iverson’s passive state that made the public not optimistic about the Lakers.

No matter how great Chen Huan was, even if he was a fusion of MJ and Pippen, he wouldn’t be able to lead the Lakers to the win.

Kobe, Iverson and Chen Huan must do it together to have hope of winning it all.

Now that Kobe and Iverson were obviously gassed out after the regular season, how could they lead the team?

Before the game started while they were waiting for the jump ball, Chen Huan saw the Blazers team staring at him.

When Hibbert slapped the ball forward like last time, the Blazers didn’t all fall back but instead sent Ed Davis to block him.

Chen Huan wanted to make a detour but Davis just came up to him and tried to push him away.

But Chen Huan didn’t even look at him as he accelerated directly past Davis and grabbed the ball before Crabbe.

*Bam!*

The sound of Davis falling to the ground came.

Allen Crabbe had his full focus on him and after seeing Chen Huan grabbing the ball, he spread his hands widely and reached for Chen Huan.

Chen Huan took this opportunity to pass away the ball before he rushed toward the basket.

Crabbe was taken aback by this.

What was going on?

Why are you charging at the basket when you passed the ball away?

Then the next moment, he saw Russell jumping high catch the pass before throwing the ball on the Blazers’ half of the court.

Looking at the trajectory, it was going straight toward the basket.

At that moment, Plumlee already went back under the basket and turned his head to see the ball flying toward him.

“Mason!”

He heard Lillard yell at him.

Right after, Plumlee saw in the corner of his eyes a purple and golden figure approaching quickly.

“AH!”

Plumlee yelled as he jumped after seeing where the ball was going and stretched both of his hands to catch the ball.

Chen Huan also made it near the basket and his jump was faster and went higher than Plumlee.

Just as Plumlee’s fingers were about five centimeters from the ball, Chen Huan already palmed the ball with one of his hands and with a smooth and quick push, the ball went away from Plumlee’s hands and went into the basket!

*Bam*

It was Chen Huan again!

It was a fast break dunk right at the beginning of the game again!

It was like last game again, constantly snatching the ball from them!

Plumlee felt angry at his helplessness and at another failure.

His body was heavier and naturally felt quicker than that of Chen Huan.

After landing, Plumlee pushed out with both of his hands, trying to push Chen Huan who hadn’t landed yet.

“OH!”

The viewers at the arena saw it either from their own eyes or at the big screen in the arena, his angry expression and actions.

Chen Huan was mid-air and had no place to use as leverage.

There were huge chances that Chen Huan would break a hand or leg if he fell to the ground with the push as well as the original force of him coming down to the ground.

But Plumlee was blinded by anger and didn’t think that deeply.

His hands were already on Chen Huan and he pushed.

Chen Huan’s body went straight back with tremendous force on him.

Chen Huan seemed to be very surprised by it as he flailed his arms and legs in hope to maintain balance.

Then one of his flailing legs randomly hit Plumlee’s chin.

*Bam!*

With a muffled sound, Plumlee almost didn’t make any sound as he passed out after being hit.

“Ah!”

The crowd in the arena exclaimed.

Because they saw blood was coming out from the mouth of Plumlee and he seemed to pass out with his eyes closed.

*Bam!*

At that moment, Chen Huan also fell to the ground and the impact was loud.

The noise was so loud that the whole arena heard it.

“What are you trying to do!? Are you trying to kill him?” Ed Davis was the fastest to come as he grabbed Chen Huan’s jersey and lifted him up as he yelled.

The old man Iverson was stunned by the presumptuous Davis and got angry.

Shit!

You obviously did an malicious foul and you still fucking dare to bully my bro?

Nobody know if my bro is injured or not but you’re pulling him up like that.

He immediately started to run in anger.

Kobe, who was behind him, ran even faster as the black mamba’s expression was like he wanted to kill someone.

Kobe wasn’t some kind guy as he fought many times on the court and wasn’t afraid of anything.

At this moment, Chen Huan looked at Davis, who was so angry that he seemed like he wanted to swallow him, but Chen Huan suddenly stretched out his hand and choked his neck with one hand.

“Ugh…”

David was in pain and wanted to pry open Chen Huan’s hand.

But didn’t expect Chen Huan to easily and smoothly lift him up.

He lifted him up at least 20 centimeters from the ground!

Under the tremendous pain and being choked, Davis could only weakly slap around while his mind was blanking.

“Fuck!”

“Chinese Kung Fu!?”

Barkley and Smith instantly stood up from their chairs and were dumbfounded.

The players who were rushing from both teams were so scared that they all stopped in their tracks.

The fans at the arena were dumbfounded and couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Holy Shit!

Are they filming a movie!?

A 183 cm point guard could actually lift the 206 cm power forward?

Lifted off the ground on top of that!?

Obviously, Davis was looking for trouble but he got KO instantly and got overpowered so easily!

Davis looked like he was about to die!!
