Chapter 439 Difficulty Upgrade
“Hey, elementary school student!”
The words were blurted out and before they were spoken, the name of the person in front of him appeared in Levi's mind a moment later:
Stephen Curry.
Levi clearly remembered the other person's name, because Curry and Curry had the same pronunciation, but the name was already rolling on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't say it out.
Curry gritted his braces and looked stunned. He did not expect such a reaction at all. He tilted his head and asked with a searching light in his eyes, "Is this trash talk?"
Levi asked sincerely, "Is this the home court of the New York Knicks?"
This is a hint that Curry is playing away from home and naturally needs to be prepared to face trash talk attacks.
The key point lies in the expression and tone. Levi has no intention of attacking at all, but he can capture the taste of teasing and joking, and the atmosphere is completely relaxed.
Sure enough, just like the rumors, Levi is indeed a guy who doesn't play by common sense——
Curry's obedient card is no longer good. He can't even talk trash. It's even more difficult to be witty, humorous, and joking.
However, if you lose, you don’t lose.
Looking at Levi, with an innocent expression but a cunning light in his eyes, Curry was also ready to make a move, a smile crept up the corner of his mouth, and he teased back.
"It seems like someone didn't do their homework and the trash talk didn't hit the mark."
Faced with Curry's counterattack, Levi didn't panic, his face was full of sincerity, and he looked like he was asking for advice humbly, "A hint?"
Curry took a small step back while dribbling, but did not speak. He just looked at Levi with a smile, his baby face was particularly bright.
Levi raised his chin slightly, "Wait a minute, you don't mean 'baby face', right?" As he spoke, Levi raised his hand to brush his face, and you could see Curry's face. There was an obvious pause in his movements, and he was accidentally exposed, which made Levi laugh happily.
"Haha. I thought that having a baby face should be a compliment. Anyone who underestimated you because of your baby face should have regretted it now."
Curry pursed his lips, raised his hand and passed the basketball straight towards Levi, "Like a rookie?"
Snap.
Levi caught the basketball accurately, straightened his upper body, opened his shoulders, and aimed at the basket, "Yes, just like a rookie."
As the words fell, Levi held the basketball on his wrist and gently wrapped it with force. Pushing and sending it, the basketball left his palm and flew and rotated at high speed in the air, drawing a thrilling perfect arc across the sky. All the people around him gathered their attention. On top of basketball.
Including Curry.
Whoosh.
With a clean and crisp sound, the basketball fell down.
Accurate hit.
Ho, ho, ho, ho.
The fans and spectators in the auditorium who witnessed this scene could no longer control themselves. One or two of them started to boo, and Madison Square Garden immediately became lively.
The players of the Golden State Warriors and the New York Knicks who were warming up were also full of questions. They traced the source in shock and surprise and looked back along the arc of the basketball flight. However, they misjudged because Levi was sitting obediently and motionless in the audience:
Probably not Levi.
Shooting while sitting? Or an oversized three-pointer?
No, no, it shouldn't be, Levi is not a quarterback.
Guessing Levi's words is not as reliable as guessing Curry's back-up three-pointer.
The New York Knicks players' skin tightened. It seems that Curry is feeling hot today, and the game may be very difficult in a while.
Only Curry knows what's going on. Curry looked at Levi with surprise on his face, and gestured to the basket with his eyes, "I didn't expect that you still have something to hide?"
Levi: Luck. Just pure luck.
It's not humility, it's truth.
He just threw it casually, and who knew it would hit the net accurately. He was more surprised than anyone else. Feeling the sights coming from all directions, he had to pretend to be calm to hide his inner panic and put on a sophisticated look. He looked unpredictable, but he was guessing in his mind:
Could it be that Tomlinson's training template has begun to bear fruit subtly?
Although there were countless thoughts surging inside, he remained calm on the surface. Levi faced Curry's gaze and spread his hands with a helpless look.
"There is no way. You can't even hide your innate talents."
It was this scene that made Curry unable to control himself anymore. He laughed heartily, spread his hands, and the basketball jumped back and forth between his hands flexibly. "Since the rookies have already shown off their unique skills, it seems that I need to Just work hard.”
After saying that, Curry didn't say anything more, took a few steps back, then turned around and entered the court.
Others can't see it, but the players of the New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors can feel that Curry's fighting spirit is burning instantly, and he is so motivated that he almost rolls up his sleeves.
One by one, the New York Knicks players looked at Levi with very strange eyes: What on earth did you just say to that baby face! Things are already difficult enough, but now they have to get even more difficult?
The New York Knicks' record this season is still sluggish, currently with 21 wins and 26 losses, and there is little hope for the playoffs; while the Golden State Warriors still show their winning temperament, with currently 37 wins and 10 losses, the strength and status of the two teams are They were not on the same level to begin with, but the scene in front of them cast a shadow over the New York Knicks, who were playing at home.
Levi:? ? ? Is this okay?
If Dolan knew that he had invited Levi to watch the game, he severely damaged the momentum of the home team before the game even started, and even provoked Curry, I wonder if he would show up and drag Levi away. Arena.
"ladies and gentlemen!"
“Let us give a warm applause to the main running back of this season’s AFC Champions Kansas Chiefs——
Li...wei..."
The warm-up was over and the game was about to begin, but the host at Madison Square Garden was unwilling to cut into the event in an ordinary way, and focused the spotlight on Levi with a series of solemn words.
Then, the most bizarre and interesting scene occurred at the NBA live broadcast:
It was obviously New York’s home court, and there was no Kansas City team on either side of the match, but the focus of the scene was still on a guy from Kansas City... Football players.
and.
At this moment, tens of millions of viewers watching NBA live broadcasts in mainland China on the other side of the Pacific are all plunged into confusion:
Who is that?
Why is there a Chinese face that has nothing to do with the New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors or even the NBA appearing on the live broadcast screen?
Although Levi set off a wave of craze in mainland China in the past season, the audience groups of football and basketball are still wrong. Fans who like the NBA may not necessarily care about the ups and downs of the NFL.
But now, they finally care -
Ahhhh.
Snap, snap, snap.
The audience at Madison Square Garden burst into applause. Whistles, roars, and applause filled the entire venue. Many people could be seen standing up. The entire venue was very lively, and Levi was given the highest treatment.
This scene made the viewers in front of the TV in Mainland China have various speculations:
"Levi, who is it?"
Wait, is it a rich second generation or a new generation Hollywood superstar?
Quietly, Levi became a hot search again, in an unexpected way.
