NBA's Super Troublemaker

The first target to be eliminated appears in Chapter 55.

Li He was replaced by Quintel Woods.

In fact, Quintel Woods also had a very difficult time during this period.

This scoundrel who enjoys abusing animals and fighting deeply regrets his conflict with Li He.

Because Li He played so well in the regular season, delivering an All-Star caliber performance, his status within the team has risen higher and higher.

Li He sat back on the bench, stretched, and Coach Maurice Cheeks quickly followed.

Coach Morris didn't even look at the situation on the court anymore. With just over 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the point difference had reached 30 points, and the game was no longer in doubt.

He asked with concern, "Hansen, why did you ask to leave the field? Are you feeling unwell?"

Li He shook his head: "No, everything is normal."

Are you physically tired?

Li He shook his head again: "It's alright."

"Phew..." Maurice Cheeks breathed a sigh of relief. Hansen Lee was the team's darling, and nothing could go wrong with him.

"I was originally planning to let you play the last 6 minutes. Judging from your performance today, you definitely had a chance to score 50 points!"

40+ and 50+ are two different concepts.

Especially for a rookie like Li He, scoring 50+ points in a single game would greatly boost his confidence.

Li He laughed and said, "Coach, we're already leading by 30 points, what's the point of playing anymore?"

"It is indeed garbage time, but as a rookie, it doesn't seem like a problem for you to play a little longer."

"You said it's garbage time," Li He shook his head. "It's pointless to rack up points at a time like this."

Maurice Cheeks understood that even though Hansen Lee had only played three NBA games, he wouldn't stoop to padding his stats in garbage time.

"OK, Hansen, I understand your decision. Just relax and wait until the game is over. You were fantastic tonight," Coach Morris said.

And at that very moment.

Seeing Li He leave the field, there was no intention to bring him on as a replacement.

The home fans at the Rose Garden are unhappy!

Hansen Lee's performance in this game was simply amazing. His dazzling dribbling, skillful moves, and the showdown with Iverson have made the Rose Garden fans fall in love with this Chinese talent.

They want to see Hansen Lee play!

In the stands, it was unclear which fan started shouting, but the shouts quickly spread and gradually turned into unified chants.

"We want Hanson!"

"We want Hanson!"

"..."

The unified shouts echoed throughout the Rose Garden Arena. Zach Randolph, sitting next to Li He, patted him on the shoulder:

"The fans seem to really like you."

Li He smiled and said, "Of course, I like them very much too."

After all, this was the first team he joined in the NBA, even if it was the terrible Portland Trail Blazers, a team that was essentially a prison team. Li He had a deep emotional connection to this team and to the fans.

Seeing this, Maurice Cheeks immediately substituted Li He onto the field with a little over three minutes remaining.

Unable to refuse the enthusiastic cheers, Li He waved to the fans after taking the court, and with 58 seconds left on the clock, he made a buzzer-beating three-pointer, drawing a tidal wave of cheers from the fans.

Ultimately, the Trail Blazers defeated the 76ers 105-80 at home, a 25-point victory.

Li He scored a whopping 43 points in a single game, compared to Allen Iverson's 35 points, leading his team to victory!

He also set a new career high in scoring!

With a resounding home victory, Coach Morris finally breathed a sigh of relief. The poor team chemistry from the first two games had finally been stopped, and it seems that Hansen Lee is even more important to this team than we thought.

Back in the locker room.

The players were overjoyed with their resounding victory at home.

Only Bunch Wells, who couldn't seem to find his rhythm, was sullen.

本场比赛他8投2中，罚球6中4，仅拿下8分。

This is a far cry from his performance last season.

Or rather, since the start of the season, Bonzi Wells has been in a daze, and after 6 games, he still hasn't found his form.

Even more frustrating is that Bonzi Wells' career-high single-game score is 41 points.

And that damn Hansen Lee, after coming on during garbage time, scored a three-pointer, ultimately sealing the score at 43 points, surpassing him.

He complained to Li He, feeling quite frustrated:

"Hansen, you play too selfishly!"

"Glen Robinson was already double-teaming you, and I had an open shot, but you didn't pass it to me?"

"Are you afraid I'll steal your thunder?"

"If you're going to play like this, then don't expect me to pass you the ball anymore!"

Bonzi Wells' attitude was clear: Li He, you're just a rookie, you need to be realistic and not take yourself too seriously.

Li He immediately understood and coldly laughed:

"I'm just asking you, did I score or not?"

Bonzi Wells scoffed, "So what if we get in?"

"You're already inside, so stop babbling. Go cool off somewhere else." Li He gave him a cold look.

During this period, Bonzi Wells, who was dissatisfied with Coach Maurice Cheeks moving Li He to the starting shooting guard position, kept grumbling and making veiled criticisms.

Unexpectedly, after the match ended, they immediately started to bully us.

How could Li He tolerate this?

"Hansen Lee, you're too arrogant!" Bunzi Wells jumped up from his seat.

"I've played six seasons for this team, and you've only played six games. What right do you have to talk to me like that!"

Li He spread his hands: "No wonder the team has such a bad reputation, it turns out it's because you've been in the team all along."

Bonzi Wells glared at him angrily: "I've fucking had enough of you!"

Li He chuckled: "Then you can leave the team. You can't even understand something as simple as this. No wonder you play so badly."

"Playing basketball requires brains."

Bonzi Wells was furious. He was a physically imposing, heavy-armored defender, and he pointed at Li He with gritted teeth, as if he wanted to devour him whole.

After saying this, Li He remained undeterred, even rising to confront Bunzi Wells and adding:

"You need your brain to play ball, but you don't need it to fight people."

When the other teammates heard that Li He was about to throw another punch, they all stood up and tried to mediate.

They were simply afraid that Bonzi Wells wouldn't be able to take a beating and might end up in the hospital again after being beaten by Hansen Lee.

Little Fatty Randolph's eyes darted around as he thought to himself:

At this rate, Hansen Lee is going to beat up the whole team...

Upon hearing this, Bonzi Wells immediately lost his nerve.

He had privately discussed with Ruben Paterson what level Hansen Lee's boxing was.

Ruben Paterson's response was very straightforward:

"Bonzi, if you went up against Hansen Lee in the ring, you definitely wouldn't last 30 seconds."

"And even if you fall to the ground and lose the ability to fight back, with the referee protecting you, that dirty guy Hansen Lee will continue to stab you in the back."

"He might even attack the referee if he gets carried away!"

"He is a complete monster. All we can do is be law-abiding citizens and let Hansen Lee be brought to justice."

Recalling these words, Bonzi Wells dared not confront Li He directly, and could only angrily slam the door and leave.

With the turmoil temporarily subsided, Li He looked towards the door and thought to himself that Bonzi Wells was someone who could not be allowed to live.
