Buddha's light illuminates NBA

Chapter 6

Time flies, and it will soon be October.

When most Chinese people on the other side of the ocean were still dreaming at 5 am on the 3th, at 4:2 pm Eastern Time on the 00th, Madison Square Garden (MSG), Lu Ming was standing in the player tunnel, ready to play after the on-site announcer Mike Walczewski read his name.

However, what Mike first brought out in an ordinary and even somewhat depressed tone was the starting five of the visiting team New Jersey Nets:
Center: Brook Lopez, 2 meters 13
Power forward: Yi Jianlian, 2 meters 13
Small Forward: Jarvis Hayes, 2m
Shooting Guard: Chris Douglas Roberts, 2m
Point guard: Devin Harris, 1 meters
In the Nets team, Brook Lopez is Lu Ming's senior at Stanford, and Yi Jianlian is from the same country as him.

During the warm-up, Lu Ming and Lopez talked about the past, and exchanged a few words with Yi Jianlian, which was the first time they met.

Also because both teams have Chinese players, the country has already regarded this game as a Chinese derby before the game. It was broadcast on CCTV and explained by Wei Ping-Bryant-Zhang and Su Qun. At this time, the strength of the two teams was being analyzed.

At Madison Square Garden, Mike's unique voice sounded, "Now, the last one, from Stanford University, 6 feet 6 inches, No. 8 of the New York Knicks, Lu Ming!!!"

When choosing a jersey number, Lu Ming naturally chose No. 8, which happened to be used by no one in the team and had not retired.

Although some people suspected that he used this number because of another shooting guard with a height of 1 meters in the league, Lu Ming said that there was no cause and effect, and joked that he originally wanted to use No. 98.

No. 1 is the No. [-] lottery.

Under the light beams of the player tunnel, Lu Ming walked out with steady steps accompanied by the explosive music.

Then, the audience cheered almost uniformly.

"Lu-Ming!"

"Lu-Ming!"

There were a few "Master-Lu" in the middle, and then it was interrupted by the people around.

When you haven't shown your due strength, it's best to keep a low profile.

Vaguely, Lu Ming seemed to hear a "Xiao Mingzi".

Naruko?
Lu Ming was a little dazed. It was a name that was too old, so long ago that he didn't even remember it. There was once a person who called him chirping around him every day.

hallucinations?
I looked in the general direction of the sound, but I didn't find anything.

It seemed that I had an auditory hallucination in the sound of 2 people in the audience.

On the side of the Nets, Yi Jianlian looked at Lu Ming's side with envy.

When he joined the Bucks as the No. [-] pick, there were no such cheers.

In the box, Knicks owner James Dolan was a little distracted when he heard the long-lost voice from fans cheering for his team's star in the arena, "Donnie, did I hear correctly?"

"Yes, Mr. Dolan, you heard it right, they are welcoming our rookie!" Donnie Walsh had expected it a long time ago, but he was still somewhat surprised.

"It seems that you have selected a rookie for us who can bring fans to the Knicks." Although the Knicks have no shortage of spectators, the words still have to be said.

Donnie Walsh smiled, didn't say anything, just glanced at Isiah Thomas on the other side.

The latter's face was dark, showing no emotion.

Sitting in the commentary booth were Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley, two commentators familiar to fans of TNT TV.

"Charles, New York fans, are looking forward to our No. 8 rookie." Kenny Smith was very surprised by New York's welcome to Lu Ming.

Of course, he is also expressing his worries. If the performance of this rookie is not as expected, will there be boos of the same voice?

"Yes, maybe they think that this master from the East is another star gifted to the Knicks after Ewing? After all, the Knicks haven't had a star for a long time." Barkley subconsciously restrained himself when dealing with Lu Ming because he suffered from Yao Ming.

Of course, in his heart, he doesn't think that a defender from China can achieve anything.

After all, Sun Yue, the championship drinking fountain player who was just waived by the Lakers, was in the limelight when he was not in the NBA.

"Let's look forward to his performance."

Kenny Smith finished his discussion with Lu Ming and began to introduce the Knicks' starting roster, "Now, the Knicks' starting five are point guard Chris Duhon, shooting guard Lu Ming, small forward Danilo Gallinari, power forward David Lee, and center Darko Milicic."

When Barkley heard this, he suddenly snorted, and then asked Kenny Smith next to him, "Coach D'Antoni didn't faint, did he let our human Mr. Victory Cigar start?"

"Yes, Charles, you heard me right. The No. [-] pick, Darko Milicic, played as the starting center today." Kenny Smith smiled not too reservedly, and this time he didn't go against Barkley's procedure.

At the scene, when Darko Milicic played, there were also waves of boos.After Darko Milicic heard it, he clenched his hands into fists, and then let go, his face was sad.

"Lu, is there really no problem?" D'Antoni was a little worried about whether Darko Milicic in this state could integrate into the team's system.

"If you don't try it, how will you know? Anyway, we don't have a decent center now, do we?"

"That's the only way. However, if he can't show the strength of the starting center, then I would rather give up the center position and put him back on the bench again."

"Please wait and see."

Yes, it was Lu Ming's suggestion to let Darko Milicic start.

Although Lu Ming, who was quickly determined to be the future core of the team since the team assembled in mid-September, had privately chatted with the former No. 9 player, who was ridiculed as a human victory cigar, as well as the future boxer and farmer, and insisted that he could bring positive energy to the team, but at this time, hearing the public ridicule of the two TNT TV commentators, Lu Ming felt that something should be done.

So he came to Darko Milicic, who had dyed his hair beige, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low and calm tone, "Dako, listen, suffering is the upper edge of life. We should accept it with a normal heart, face it, and use it in turn to make ourselves grow."

"Thank you, Lu." Darko Milicic calmed down unexpectedly.

Then put his hands together and whispered in English with a Serbian-Black accent, "All-phenomena-are-like-a dream, an-illusion, a-bubble-and-a-shadow, Like-dew-and-lightning. Thus-should-you-meditate-upon-them."

The Chinese meaning is that all conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such.

It was difficult for Darko Milicic to speak this sentence in Lu's hometown, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but inexplicably, when he remembered the first time Lu said this sentence to him, he could feel a long-lost calm.

It was the peace of anger that comes with watching NATO bombers in the sky while training in a dilapidated arena.

"Lu, thank you!" Darko Milicic thanked again, from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, Barkley and Kenny Smith had finished introducing the lineups of the two sides and their respective keys to victory.

Players from both sides also walked into the field, ready to jump the ball.

The game starts now.
