Chapter 126: One Man and Ten Women! The Swimsuit Shoot Has Something Special!
The models all knew that Chen Hao was the main character of this swimsuit shoot, so they were all very curious about him.
After all, a drama with one male lead and ten female supporting roles is truly rare.
So, when they saw Chen Hao appear in the changing room, they all stared at him with wide-eyed curiosity.
Because everyone present was a female model, very few of them were familiar with Chen Hao, only knowing that he was an NBA superstar rookie.
However, they had all seen his photos, and even then, they felt that Chen Hao's appearance was incredibly handsome and striking.
Now, observing him up close, they found that Chen Haowas even taller and more muscular than in the photos, with a chiseled, handsome face that surprised even these female models who were accustomed to seeing handsome men.
"Oh my God! He's so tall and strong! That face is the most handsome I've ever seen!"
"If he didn't play basketball, he would definitely have a huge market as a male model!"
"This guy really fits my aesthetic. I'm going to stand next to him later!"
"This guy's looks and physique both meet my requirements. I hope his other aspects are just as promising!"
Chen Hao calmly greeted the chattering female models, his face having regained its composure.
Yes, he was a ballplayer; how could he get dizzy from the ball?
Now, he was able to look straight ahead, naturally facing this group of curvaceous female models.
These female models were very enthusiastic about Chen Hao's Take the initiative to say hello, gathering around him.
Some even reached out to touch Chen Hao's biceps and pectorals. After testing, they exclaimed in even greater surprise:
"Oh my God! Your muscles are so hard!"
Chen Hao smiled and joked about the models' astonishment:
"Actually, besides my muscles being hard, my other parts are also very hard!"
Chen Hao's words made the female models laugh loudly:
"Hahaha, we'll see if it's true later!"
"But for now, you should go get your makeup done and change into your swimsuit!"
"We've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Chen Hao smiled and nodded at the models' words, then followed the makeup artist to the makeup table and sat down.
Actually, Chen Hao didn't really need much makeup; it was just a simple trim of his thick eyebrows and a quick styling of his hair.
With just this simple tidying up, Chen Hao's handsomeness became even more prominent!
The female models who had already finished their makeup and changed into their swimsuits were observing Chen Hao's every move from the side.
After all, this guy's endorsement contracts alone were already tens of millions of usd annually.
Not to mention his various assets.
If they could connect with him, they would truly be set for life.
So, these female models had already started to scheme in their minds.
It's worth noting that many NBA players actually marry models.
After all, NBA players' heights are inherently much taller than ordinary people, so only models' heights can somewhat match theirs.
For example, before his transmigration, Horford's beautiful wife, Emily Vega, was a supermodel.
And now, she sat quietly in a corner of the changing room, silently awaiting the start of the swimsuit shoot.
She was also one of the special guest models for this swimsuit shoot, and she was actually very familiar with Chen Hao.
After all, she was also a basketball enthusiast and enjoyed watching NBA games in her leisure time.
In fact, because Emily now lived in Miami, she was more inclined to support the Miami Heat.
The Miami Heat had already won the Championship two seasons ago, which made Emily even more fond of them.
However, due to injuries, the Miami Heat's record in the past two years hasn't been very good.
Especially this season, they might not even make it to the playoffs, which greatly disappointed Emily.
She had really wanted to attend today's game between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat because Wadeand O'Neal were both returning.
With both of them returning, the Miami Heat's strength would definitely improve significantly, and defeating the Boston Celtics wouldn't be surprising.
However, due to the schedule for this swimsuit shoot today, Emily was unable to watch the game, and she didn't even have time to care about the outcome of the game.
Now that Chen Hao had appeared in the changing room, Emily actually really wanted to go up and ask about the game's result, but she was worried that if the Miami Heathad won, would Chen Hao's mood be negatively affected?
Therefore, Emily was very conflicted at this moment. She wanted to know the game's result but was also afraid of upsetting Chen Hao.
Thus, at this time, Emily could only observe Chen Haofrom afar, trying to infer his mood from his demeanor.
Unlike the other models, Emily was only curious about Chen Hao; she knew that Chen Hao had many explosive performances on the court.
She thought Chen Hao's performance was quite legendary, and if he could come to the Miami Heat, then the Miami Heat would truly be invincible.
Now seeing Chen Hao in person, Emily was actually quite surprised.
Because Chen Hao was more approachable than she had imagined, not as brutal as he appeared on the court.
Just then, the group of female models who were observing Chen Hao up close suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh my God!"
"Is this real?"
"You didn't stuff a banana in there, did you?"
"Hey, it's a swimsuit shoot, no need for extra props, right?"
"The more you try to add props, the more it proves that you're actually not well-endowed!"
Chen Hao had already changed into his swimsuit. After hearing the models' discussions, he calmly spread his hands and said:
"The reason you are so surprised is because you have truly never seen such terrifying physical talent!"
"So, I won't blame you!"
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean such people don't exist in this world!"
"And coincidentally, I am one of those exceptionally gifted people."
"Alright, we've already wasted a lot of time."
"Let's get this shoot done quickly!"
Chen Hao, wearing only his swimsuit briefs, walked confidently towards the swimming pool where the shoot was taking place.
After Chen Hao walked out of the models' encirclement, Emily finally got a clear look at Chen Hao's physique.
With just one glance, Emily couldn't help but cover her mouth with both hands, her eyes filled with an expression of dread.
Chen Hao was all muscle, especially his solid pectorals, broad shoulders, eight-pack abs like chocolate, bulging thigh muscles, and slender, firm calves, which made Emilyunable to tear her gaze away from him!
Among all the male models she had seen, he had the most explosive, well-proportioned, and aesthetically pleasing physique!
As her gaze gradually moved downwards, her eyes became even more shocked!
Because she finally understood the reason for the female models' astonishment just now!
Did this guy bring a microphone to a swimsuit shoot?
His physique was already perfect; he didn't need any props at all!
Although it was a swimsuit shoot, this prop of his was really a bit too exaggerated, wasn't it?
So, as Chen Hao walked past Emily, Emily couldn't help but playfully tease him:
"Hey, you really don't need to stuff a microphone into your briefs!"
"It's really easy to overdo it that way!"
Chen Hao: "?"
Chapter 127: Celebration Banquet Pool Basketball Game! Chen Hao Against Eleven! Double-Handed Ball Break Press!
Chen Hao was truly helpless regarding Emily's nonsensical words.
He could only spread his hands to Emily and say,
"Hey, what makes you think I deliberately stuffed props in there?
Can't I genuinely possess such talent?"
After hearing Chen Hao's words, Emily said disdainfully,
"I know you men all love vanity.
So, many people like to increase their vanity through props.
But in my opinion, it's completely unnecessary.
Because your physical condition is already excellent enough.
You don't need to rely on external objects to boost your confidence.
That's why I said what I just said!"
Emily was actually advising Chen Hao not to blindly modify his physique for photoshoots, as it could overshadow the main subject.
She thought Chen Hao would be grateful, but to her surprise, Chen Hao walked directly up to Emily and said to her with a frustrated expression,
"Why don't you just check it yourself!
I really didn't stuff any props in there!"
At this moment, Chen Hao was standing in front of Emily, the distance between them less than five centimeters!
Seeing Chen Hao approach her so closely, Emily's heart rate rapidly accelerated, and she even felt a bit flustered:
"You, why are you getting so close?
Why would I check it myself?"
Chen Hao looked at the somewhat flustered Emily in front of him, filled with emotion:
"This is the legendary most beautiful NBA wife of the future!
Looking at it this way, Horford is truly a winner in life!
It's a pity that I met her first.
Then I can only be a Cao thief!"
Chen Hao smiled and shook his head, not backing away, but instead said again,
"You just said I rely on props.
Now I'm letting you inspect me to see if I really added props!
You don't need to worry about anything!
I also want you to help me prove that I am innocent!
This is truly my physical talent!"
Chen Hao's words made Emily's face even hotter; she really hadn't expected Chen Hao to come up with such a method to prove himself.
At this moment, the other female models, seeing Chen Hao and Emily's intimate actions, all gathered around curiously.
When they heard Chen Hao's words, they all became interested:
"Hey, Emily, if you're too shy to do it, let me!"
"Yes, it seems he's really confident in his physique!"
"I've never seen such a hot physique; let me try!"
These female models not only said suggestive things but actually walked towards Chen Hao, even extending their hands.
They looked as if they were genuinely going to inspect Chen Hao!
But despite this, Chen Hao's face showed no tension; he even looked at Emily playfully and said,
"See, if you don't check, they're all very interested!"
At this point, Emily was also spurred on by Chen Hao's strong competitive spirit, so she glared fiercely at Chen Hao and then resolutely said,
"Check then, check! Who's afraid of who!"
After saying that, she immediately made a move like a monkey stealing peaches!
One second Emily was defiant, the next she was completely frozen in place!
Yes, she was stunned by Chen Hao's incredible physical talent!
It turned out Chen Hao really hadn't lied; he truly hadn't stuffed any props.
It was real!
This is too exaggerated!
Is there really such a super-talented man in this world?
Seeing Emily's shocked expression, a faint smile appeared on Chen Hao's face, and he voluntarily took a step back.
"Alright, let's end the joke here!
Whatever results you want to know, go ask Emily!"
After saying that, Chen Hao turned and walked towards the poolside first.
As for the other models, who had originally wanted to touch Chen Hao, they all looked disappointed now.
But they immediately turned to Emily, because they had all clearly seen that Emily had actually touched him!
"Hey, tell us, is his thing real?"
Emily's expression was still very stiff, but with the models' questions, she finally reacted.
So, amidst the shocked gazes of the other models, she nodded blankly and said,
"It's real! I feel like my worldview has been completely refreshed!"
After Chen Hao cleared his name through Emily, the swimsuit photoshoot went exceptionally smoothly.
Actually, the shooting task wasn't difficult; it was just posing for photos by and in the pool with these ten supermodels in swimsuits.
And since it was evening, the temperature was very pleasant, and the female models were all very cooperative.
So, the shooting task was completed in just one hour.
After the photoshoot was finished, the behind-the-scenes boss of this swimsuit fashion show directly invited Chen Hao to a pool party.
One could say, it was an impromptu party right there.
What surprised Chen Hao was that the behind-the-scenes boss of this swimsuit fashion show was actually a young married woman.
According to Chen Hao's many years of experience with women, this female boss named Elisa should be no older than 30, still full of charm.
And Chen Hao clearly felt that when Elisa saw Chen Haoin his swimsuit, her eyes instantly became incredibly fervent.
It seemed she was also a woman who lusted after his body.
Besides the numerous female models, Chen Hao was truly the only man at this pool party.
Even the servers for the party were all female.
This arrangement greatly surprised Chen Hao.
At this moment, Chen Hao was still wearing his swimsuit, stared at by these female models, feeling as if he was completely exposed.
So, when Chen Hao said he was going to put on some clothes, he was stopped.
"Hey, we're all wearing swimsuits, is it appropriate for you to be the only one wearing clothes?"
It was Emily who initiated the teasing.
Her words instantly made all the female models present burst into laughter, all looking at Chen Hao playfully.
Even Elisa stared intently at Chen Hao, her eyes full of aggression.
Feeling so many aggressive gazes, Chen Hao's expression also became fierce:
"It seems you really think I'm a toothless tiger?
If that's the case, why don't we play a water basketball game!
It's me, alone, against all of you!
If you can make a single shot against me, I lose!"
Chen Hao's words instantly ignited the competitive spirit of all the female models present, who all declared war immediately!
And so, a one-against-many water basketball game began!
The so-called water basketball game was simply placing a basketball hoop at each end of the pool.
Scoring a point by shooting into the opponent's hoop was the simple rule.
The opposing sides were Chen Hao and the female model team.
Chen Hao was alone, while the female models had as many as eleven, yes, including the female boss Elisa.
Chen Hao also said that if the opposing team scored a single point against him, he would lose and be at their mercy.
Conversely, if Chen Hao won, he would punish them.
Chen Hao's arrogance made these female models very displeased, and they all vowed to crush Chen Hao.
One against eleven, this was Chen Hao's first time trying such a pickup game!
Chapter 128: Emily Vega's precise grab hits Chen Hao's little brother! This time, she hit a steel plate!
For Chen Hao, a professional basketball player, as long as he appears on the court, he is there to win.
No matter what kind of opponent he faces, and no matter how many opponents he has, in his eyes, there is only the hoop!
Just like this water basketball game in the swimming pool, even though Chen Hao's opponents were ten models in swimsuits, it did not stop his desire for victory in this game.
Elisa, as the referee for this game, tossed the ball in the middle of the pool!
Chen Hao's height was indeed too much for these ten professional models.
So Chen Hao easily tipped the ball to his side.
After all, his team now only consisted of himself, so after tipping the ball to his side, he already had the ball in his hands.
The ten models on the other side, seeing Chen Hao get the ball first, all rushed towards him immediately.
Since they were not professional basketball players, they did not hold back their movements at this time.
So each model's move towards Chen Hao was different.
Some directly used their hands, embracing Chen Hao's arm, trying to snatch the basketball from his hands.
Such actions naturally led to unavoidable physical contact with Chen Hao.
Chen Hao expressed helplessness at this direct method of stealing, but at this time, Elisa did not blow her whistle.
She even watched Chen Hao with interest, wanting to see what kind of countermeasures he would take.
Besides directly grabbing Chen Hao, some models went straight for the basketball, wanting to forcibly snatch it from Chen Hao's hands.
Among them was Emily Vega, who actually directly embraced the basketball with both hands and pulled it towards herself with force!
Although Chen Hao's strength was invincible among these ten models.
But under their chaotic grabbing, Chen Hao was temporarily unable to display his skills.
Imagine, what kind of experience is it when ten models, each with their own 'balls,' collide with you?
One is already a charging foul, then ten are also charging fouls!
This number was quite terrifying!
So at this time, the only thing Chen Hao could do was to vigorously raise the ball above his head and then shoot!
After all, at this moment, he even had several models hanging on him, making it impossible to move an inch!
From the middle of the pool, trying to shoot the ball into the hoop at the opposite side of the pool might be very difficult for these amateur models.
But for Chen Hao, it was truly a piece of cake.
So when Chen Hao raised the ball above his head, he had already gained the upper hand.
At this moment, Emily Vega still did not want to give up, even directly rushing towards Chen Hao.
Her idea was simple: as long as she could push Chen Haointo the water, he would not be able to complete the shot.
And they could take the opportunity to steal the ball from Chen Hao, thereby creating a scoring opportunity!
However, Emily Vega still underestimated Chen Hao's strength.
Even though her entire body had already crashed into Chen Hao, he remained motionless.
And as she crashed into Chen Hao, he had already completed the shot!
The basketball arced perfectly and swished through the net!
At this moment, even Elisa, the referee, looked shocked.
Because she really didn't expect that Chen Hao, despite being entangled by so many models, could still easily complete a shot from the middle of the pool.
This was truly astonishing!
"Oh my god!
You can still make a shot like that?"
Watching Chen Hao make this super long shot, Emily Vega exclaimed in surprise.
The other models also looked at Chen Hao with admiring eyes, which made Chen Hao feel extremely pleased.
"Isn't this just a routine operation?
Your defensive intensity is still too low!
I think you can totally increase the intensity even more.
Perhaps then, you will have a chance to successfully defend me!"
Chen Hao's words made the models' expressions turn very gloomy:
"We're already hanging all over you.
How can you still think our defensive intensity isn't enough?
You're just too strong!"
Chen Hao could barely suppress the smile on his lips:
"Perhaps your defensive method is flawed.
You can think, what methods can block my vision?"
Chen Hao's hint made the models' expressions become serious.
Soon, Emily Vega thought of it:
"I know!
We can try to cover his eyes!
If he can't see the hoop, he won't be able to make an effective attack!"
Emily Vega's suggestion made many models realize:
"Good idea! So next time we defend him, we should try to cover his eyes!"
Chen Hao was speechless at their idea, shrugging his shoulders helplessly and saying:
"That's not a bad idea.
But the current situation is, it's your turn to attack, and I'm defending!
You can totally focus on this attack first, and then consider how to defend me!"
Chen Hao's reminder made them react quickly:
"That's right!
He just scored, now it's our turn to attack!"
So, the ten models all rushed towards the basketball.
At this time, Chen Hao still stood in the middle of the pool without moving.
His gaze was on these models; they were exceptionally vibrant when moving.
This also made Chen Hao experience what it means to be full of vitality.
This is what vitality means!
Especially when they got the basketball and rushed towards him with laughter, the splashing water made the entire pool surge.
In the turbulent pool, ten models with the ball rushed towards Chen Hao.
At this time, Chen Hao's defensive pressure became extraordinarily great.
On offense, he could choose to break through one by one.
But on defense, he really couldn't defend all ten of them by himself.
So Chen Hao could only choose to focus his attention on the ball handler!
At this moment, the ball handler was Emily Vega, and she had appeared on Chen Hao's right side.
She was about to rush past Chen Hao's eyes!
Chen Hao moved at this moment!
He quickly moved sideways to appear in front of Emily, and before she could react, Chen Hao had already extended his right hand and poked away the basketball in Emily Vega's arms!
Chen Hao's steals were explosive even in the entire NBA.
Not to mention using him in this pool basketball game!
Using him against Emily Vega could even be described as overkill.
So, Chen Hao struck with one hit!
He directly poked away the basketball in Emily Vega's arms!
After poking away the basketball in her arms, Chen Haoimmediately rushed towards the basketball!
And Emily Vega, after realizing that the basketball in her hands had been poked away, in shock, she directly turned around and reached down towards Chen Hao's crotch.
Whether she did it unintentionally or intentionally, she just did it!
And Chen Hao never expected that she would make such a move!
So, the next moment, a scream echoed throughout the entire pool!
Chapter 129: Eating Soft Rice Hard? One pick-up game, and he gets a luxury yacht!
The one screaming was not Chen Hao, but Emily Vega.
After all, Chen Hao, with his Tungsten-Titanium Alloy Constitution, couldn't possibly have any weaknesses. Even his most fragile spot wasn't something an ordinary person could attack.
Emily Vega's move on Chen Hao was made in desperation, so she put a lot of force into it and didn't pay attention to the position.
She didn't expect that grab to hit Chen Hao, who was like an iron plate!
After hearing Emily's scream, Chen Hao quickly completed his shot and turned to look at Emily.
The other models, startled by Emily's scream, all looked in her direction.
But Elisa saw the basketball once again arc perfectly, swishing through the net!
At this, Elisa's gaze towards Chen Hao was filled with adoration!
This truly refreshed her worldview; it was simply too incredible!
This guy could easily make a super long-distance shot even in this situation?
No wonder he became the strongest player in the league; there was a reason for it!
At this moment, Emily looked at Chen Hao with a terrified expression and said,
"You still say you didn't bring a prop?
It's as hard as an iron plate!
My fingers are almost broken from hitting it!"
Emily's words astonished the models who had just gathered around.
They all asked,
"Hey, Emily, what are you talking about?
What did your hand grab?"
In response to these models' questions, Emily's face finally showed embarrassment. She stammered,
"I didn't grab anything, I just accidentally fouled him!
I just didn't control my strength, and I hurt my hand!"
She couldn't possibly say that she grabbed something she shouldn't have.
And at this moment, Chen Hao was still looking at her with a playful gaze, which made her feel even more awkward.
The other models all looked confused and finally could only ask Emily if she wanted to rest, and not play the game anymore.
But as soon as she heard she had to rest, Emily refused!
"I don't need to rest; that was just an accident.
I won't make a similar mistake again!"
Emily's competitive spirit was very strong, so at this moment, she chose to continue.
But when she looked at Chen Hao, her eyes held an indescribable meaning.
Because Emily knew very well that what she grabbed was not a prop at all.
Instead, it was a real object that shocked her immensely!
Therefore, she became even more curious about Chen Hao.
At this point, she absolutely couldn't choose to rest.
If the other models discovered Chen Hao's 'specialty', it would truly be a huge loss.
So, with Emily's persistence, the game continued!
At this moment, Chen Hao had already seen a strange admiration in Emily's eyes. He knew it was time to show his true strength!
This pool basketball game, it was time for it to end!
Because before the game, they had already agreed that whoever scored ten baskets first would win.
And at this moment, Chen Hao clearly felt a fire in his heart, about to explode!
He desperately needed something to extinguish it!
Therefore, this game needed to be a quick victory!
The models at this time had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation; they all thought they still had hope.
Little did they know, when they held the ball and tried to break through Chen Hao's defense, Chen Hao's powerful defensive ability made it impossible for them to move an inch!
Especially Chen Hao's defense against the ball-handler, which made them very uncomfortable, unable to take a shot in front of him.
Even if they managed to shoot, the end result was being directly swatted away by Chen Hao's big block.
While breaking their offense, Chen Hao's trash talk was also merciless.
"Your skills are really too terrible!"
"You guys might as well save it!"
"Forget it, surrender, consider it half a loss!"
"No, what made you guys brave enough to play against me?"
"Your level, I could beat you with one finger!"
"You guys are really too soft!"
Chen Hao's trash talk successfully angered these models, causing them to rush towards Chen Hao.
Despite this, Chen Hao still easily crushed them.
And he continuously stole the ball from them, making super long-distance shots!
When the score reached 9:0, Chen Hao once again stole the ball from Emily Vega!
This time, Chen Hao chose a long-distance drive, and under the pursuit and interception of many models, Chen Hao leaped high and completed an alley-oop dunk over their heads!
After completing this dunk, Chen Hao shook his head at them with a disappointed look and said,
"Your strength is really too weak!
I haven't even broken a sweat, and you've already lost!"
Chen Hao's words made these models grit their teeth, and some even demanded another game.
But Chen Hao chose to refuse.
He silently glanced at Emily, then laughed and said,
"I'm going to change clothes now!
Don't forget the bet we made before the game!
You guys are supposed to perform a dance for me!"
After speaking, Chen Hao jumped directly onto the edge of the pool and walked towards the changing room.
Before this game started, he had an agreement with these models.
Whoever lost had to perform for the other party.
These models promised that if they lost, each of them would dance for Chen Hao.
As for what kind of dance, it would depend on what each was good at.
Therefore, Chen Hao was extremely looking forward to the upcoming performances.
Having these tall dancers perform in front of him would definitely be a very pleasing sight.
Just as Chen Hao entered the changing room, Emilyfollowed him in.
She had understood the look Chen Hao had just given her, so she chose to follow Chen Hao back to the changing room at this moment.
Although the other models didn't understand the meaning of the eye contact between Emily and Chen Hao, they all developed other thoughts about Chen Hao in their hearts.
So, at this moment, they all began to seriously consider what kind of dance to perform for Chen Hao.
Elisa was also very interested in Chen Hao at this moment; she rarely saw a man like him.
This guy's basketball skills were truly too strong; he could ignore the limitations of the venue and still deliver a dominant performance.
This showed that his strength was absolutely top-tier!
In addition, he also possessed the perfect physique that all women yearned for.
For women like Elisa, who had already achieved financial freedom, an outstanding man like Chen Hao was her goal.
So, she was also pondering a question:
Is there a way to make Chen Hao willingly partner with her to conquer the pick-up courts?
Thinking of this, Elisa vaguely had an answer in her heart.
"Perhaps money can solve this problem!"
Chen Hao, who had already entered the changing room, had begun to shower.
His idea was to quickly finish washing up so he could enjoy the enchanting dance moves of these international supermodels.
Just then, he felt the door to his bathroom open!
Someone had come in!
Chen Hao did not turn to look at this moment, because he guessed who the intruder was.
At the same time, Elisa had already made a phone call:
"Help me find a brand new luxury yacht; I'm buying it tomorrow!"
Chapter 130: On the vast sea, on a yacht, fishing and crabbing—perfectly reasonable, right? The All-Star Game is coming!
Chen Hao had actually anticipated Emily Vega's sneak attack from behind.
Because before he entered the locker room, he had already signaled to Emily with his eyes.
If she understood, she would find a suitable time to be alone with Chen Hao.
What surprised Chen Hao, however, was that she would choose this time, in this place, to hug him from behind.
Moreover, Chen Hao clearly felt that she had used her 'balloons' to attack his back first.
This meant that she had already torn off the only swimsuit she had.
Good heavens, playing so wild, huh?!
Chen Hao, of course, was not afraid because of this; he liked challenges, especially ones that excited him.
So, Chen Hao reached back and embraced Emily, quickly 'frisking' her.
The movement was incredibly smooth, and after Chen Hao had finished 'frisking' her, Emily whispered:
"Finished 'frisking' me?
My turn, right?
I want to see if you really didn't bring any props!"
With that, it was her turn to 'frisk' Chen Hao.
Emily's 'frisking' this time was extremely thorough, not missing a single spot or body part.
When she finished, she finally realized that what Chen Hao had said earlier was true—he really hadn't brought any props for the shoot!
Emily was truly filled with awe and anticipation for Chen Hao:
"I admit, I had some misunderstandings about you before, and now I know my mistake.
I sincerely apologize to you now.
Is there anything you want me to do to make amends for my fault?"
Emily's initiative admission of her mistake surprised Chen Hao, who smiled and teased:
"Apologize to me in any way you can!
I like action!
Besides, at this moment, I know you also have things you want to do.
Don't suppress your personality and ideas; if you want to do it, go for it boldly!"
Under Chen Hao's encouragement, Emily finally made her boldest move, directly moving in front of Chen Hao and beginning her performance.
The models who entered the locker room later actually all wanted to see Chen Hao's body up close.
After all, with such a perfect physique, any woman would be envious.
But when they entered the locker room, they found that not only could they not see Chen Hao, they couldn't even see Emily Vega.
Only hearing the rushing sound of water from the bathroom, they all turned their gaze to the bathroom door.
The bathroom door wasn't actually closed tightly; there was a gap.
Through this gap, they could see figures moving inside.
And what shocked these models the most was that there seemed to be more than one moving figure.
At this, they all thought of the same question:
Were both Emily and Chen Hao inside?
After exchanging glances, they all quietly walked to the bathroom door, trying to peek inside through the crack.
One of the models even clearly saw the scene inside, and her expression was utterly shocked.
Then she turned to the remaining models and said:
"Oh my God!
This is too exciting!
They are truly too daring!"
The model's words made the others even more curious.
So, everyone eagerly looked through the gap.
Now, the scene inside was completely clear to them.
One model even said, somewhat gritting her teeth:
"Damn it, what a huge loss!
She got there first!
We were here first!
I really regret it now!"
The other models also looked regretful.
Just then, one of them said with a determined expression:
"Since they dare to play here, it doesn't seem like a big problem if we join in, does it?"
Her suggestion quickly made the other models' eyes light up.
Yes, how boring would it be just to watch?
Why not just join in!
After all, to the victor go the spoils!
And since there were many of them, even if they really went in, Chen Hao probably wouldn't say anything.
So, based on this suggestion, they had already made a decision.
One person directly pushed open the bathroom door and walked in boldly, with the others following suit!
What Chen Hao hadn't expected was that this one-against-ten basketball game would move from the pool to the bathroom.
But since it had already started, he couldn't very well refuse their enthusiasm.
So, Chen Hao began his second 'streetball' game.
This game required several times more physical and mental effort from Chen Hao than the previous one.
Because they had found Chen Hao's offensive weakness and were fiercely attacking it.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone many hands here.
So, in the early stages, Chen Hao was firmly suppressed.
But Chen Hao was good at more than just playing with the advantage; he was also very good at playing from behind.
Since he was still being suppressed, he could only choose to develop cautiously, letting them attack for a while.
Then, once their stamina started to wane, he would launch a counterattack.
These models naturally didn't know Chen Hao's tactics, so they were extremely excited about suppressing him.
Therefore, they didn't conserve their energy well; instead, they squandered it frantically.
Until they were all exhausted, Chen Hao's counterattack came!
Two-handed dribbling, pressure passing tactics, post-up moves, face-up post-ups, face-up strong drives, and dunking over defenders!
Chen Hao pulled out all the stops, displaying all his basketball skills to the fullest. At this point, the models truly lost all power to resist.
They could only watch as Chen Hao effortlessly scored in various ways. Only now did they realize what it meant to score as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
Four hours, in Chen Hao's opinion, passed very quickly.
After he had 'conquered' all these female models, he walked to the poolside with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Elisa, the financial backer behind this event, was sitting by the pool.
When she saw Chen Hao walk out to the poolside, she looked at him with a teasing expression and said:
"It seems I still underestimated your combat power!
At this point, you can still walk out as if nothing happened!
I can't even see any signs of fatigue on you?"
Chen Hao shrugged helplessly at Elisa's teasing:
"I am someone who likes to face challenges.
For this kind of challenge, I naturally give my all!
So, in the end, I was still the victor.
If you want to challenge me, I'm happy to oblige."
After Elisa heard Chen Hao's words, a fiery look appeared in her eyes:
"Are you serious?
Are you sure you still have the stamina to play a one-on-one game with me?"
"Of course, no problem at all!
My stamina is limitless!
You can confidently challenge me to a one-on-one!"
At this, Elisa completely believed Chen Hao's words.
Since Chen Hao had said so, she naturally wanted to experience his extraordinary personal stamina herself.
So, by the pool, the third 'streetball' game began!
Chen Hao didn't take this one-on-one challenge seriously.
After all, he had easily defeated his opponents in the previous two multi-person matches.
So, this match felt more like a friendly game with a Fan.
And the result was no big surprise; Chen Hao took less than half an hour to completely incapacitate Elisa.
Elisa, completely drained, slumped onto a lounge chair by the pool, saying with a satisfied expression:
"Your stamina is truly incredible!
I thought I could take advantage of your weakness, but I still lost!
Your performance satisfies me greatly. Tomorrow, I'll take you somewhere."
Elisa's words left Chen Hao puzzled:
"Where are we going?"
"To the seaside dock. I've prepared a luxurious yacht for you.
Go take a look; do you like it?"
After hearing Elisa's words, Chen Hao looked shocked:
"You mean you bought me a yacht?"
"Yes, don't you like it?"
"I don't like it when people act on their own initiative. Don't do that next time.
If you want to buy me a yacht, you need to consult my opinion beforehand.
Besides, you don't even know what color or style I like."
"I was careless. Should I return it now?
Then take you to pick out the color and style you like?"
"No need, just be careful next time!"
"Okay!"
The next morning, Elisa brought Chen Hao to the seaside dock.
Her assistant had already picked out a luxurious yacht for her overnight.
Looking at the white yacht in front of him, Chen Hao's expression was calm, but inwardly, he was secretly delighted.
So, this is what it feels like to 'eat soft rice but eat it hard'!
Moreover, Elisa's figure and appearance were both top-notch, with no signs of aging.
So, Chen Hao was very satisfied with the yacht she gave him.
Just imagine, during the offseason, driving this yacht out to sea for fishing—what kind of experience would that be?
Of course, when fishing, there would definitely be crabbing too, which would make it even more interesting.
Chen Hao had seen similar fishing videos on some websites; the blogger primarily wanted to fish but unexpectedly caught crabs.
And these crabs were very large and quite delicious when cooked.
That's why Chen Hao was so impressed.
"Not bad, this color is still in line with my aesthetic."
"As long as you like it, want to go up and try it out?"
"Okay!"
So, Chen Hao and Elisa boarded this yacht that belonged to him.
Unfortunately, Chen Hao didn't have a yacht driving license at this time and couldn't personally drive it.
However, to Chen Hao's surprise, Elisa actually had a yacht driving license, so she was the one driving this time.
It has to be said, Elisa, driving a yacht in a bikini, really looked both sexy and formidable!
After the yacht reached the open sea, Elisa stopped it and directly took Chen Hao to the yacht's activity platform.
At this moment, looking out at the sea truly felt relaxing.
And Elisa even lay directly on the yacht, looking completely relaxed.
"Hey, there's sunscreen over there; can you help me apply some?"
Elisa called out to Chen Hao.
"With pleasure!"
Chen Hao picked up the sunscreen, walked over to Elisa's side, sat down, and began applying sunscreen to her.
At this point, Elisa had completely relaxed.
While applying sunscreen, Chen Hao also actively massaged her for relaxation.
Chen Hao's tungsten-titanium alloy fingers were incredibly strong, which made Elisa feel extremely comfortable.
She even cried out involuntarily.
Since she had already cried out, Chen Hao naturally wouldn't stop there.
So, on the yacht drifting on the ocean, a daytime battle ensued.
By the time Chen Hao returned to shore, it was already evening.
This time, Elisa was even more satisfied with Chen Hao's performance; she even proactively said to Chen Hao:
"This yacht will stay here, and I'll take care of its maintenance for you.
Just let me know whenever you want to come and use it.
Oh, and I always feel that your usual travel still needs an aerial mode of transport for convenience.
I'll arrange it then!"
Chen Hao nodded calmly, having no objection to Elisa's arrangements.
It wasn't until Chen Hao docked that he noticed several missed calls on his phone, all from his Head Coach, Rivers.
When Chen Hao called back, he learned a bombshell trade news from the league:
Pau Gasol had been traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, forming a new duo with Kobe.
This news shook the entire league because it was truly stunning.
Originally, the Lakers' record wasn't too good, but after trading for Gasol, their strength truly skyrocketed!
Besides trading for Gasol, they also retained Odom and Bynum, both of whom were equally important for interior defense.
Therefore, at this point, the Lakers had already become a strong contender for the championship this season!
When Chen Hao learned this news, he remained quite calm:
"This news isn't explosive at all. Their improvement in strength poses little threat to us!
We just need to play well in the regular season!"
Chen Hao's words finally put Rivers somewhat at ease. In fact, he really had a lot of expectations for this season.
After all, the dominance Chen Hao displayed on the court was quite terrifying, and the Boston Celtics' strength had successfully climbed into the top three in the league.
But the Lakers' acquisition this time put immense pressure on Rivers.
He even thought the Celtics' championship hopes were going to be dashed.
He just hadn't expected Chen Hao to be so calm, even saying that these trades wouldn't affect his team.
On second thought, Rivers also felt that Chen Hao's words made a lot of sense.
After all, to reach the NBA Finals, they first had to get out of the Eastern Conference.
Currently, the Celtics' strength in the Eastern Conference was already among the best, with their only remaining opponent being the Orlando Magic.
And with this trade, it also meant that the season was about to be halfway over.
Mid-season meant entering the playoff sprint phase.
This period was crucial for the Celtics.
At the same time, the first phase of All-Star voting results were fresh out!
Chen Hao became the All-Star vote leader in the first round of voting, with his votes even exceeding Yao Ming's by one million votes!
This result shocked All-America!
Many believed that this was Chinese Fans stuffing the ballot, otherwise Chen Hao couldn't possibly have so many votes!
But when the voting regions were announced, they finally shut up!
Chapter 131: Participating in All All-Star Events! Danziand Pippen Bet on Championship Rings!
It turned out that not only most Fans in Dragon Country voted for Chen Hao, but also many Fans in All-Americachose to cast their votes for Chen Hao.
Because Chen Hao's performance this season was simply too explosive, with various explosive dunks, spectacular scores, and unprecedented statistics, many Fans were looking forward to his performance in the All-Star Game.
As everyone knows, the All-Star Weekend features many events, among which the Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest are warm-up events for the main game.
Therefore, these Fans all hoped that Chen Hao could appear in these warm-up events, after all, Chen Hao's label is 'All-Around Warrior'.
A man who excels in scoring, rebounding, and assists, of course, should participate in all these events.
The League also seemed to be aware of the true thoughts of these Fans, so after announcing the results of the first round of voting, it directly extended an invitation to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao was invited to participate in all three events.
When Chen Hao received this invitation from the League, he readily accepted it.
The news that Chen Hao would participate in the Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest quickly spread throughout All-America, and Fans across the country were incredibly excited.
This news was equally explosive for Fans in Dragon Country.
It should be noted that before this, when Yao Mingentered the All-Star Game, he would only participate in the All-Star Game itself, as his playing style was practical.
But Chen Hao is different; his playing style is not only explosive but also full of entertainment.
Especially when he pushes a fast break, his speed can even rival Iverson.
Therefore, many Dragon Country Fans are full of anticipation and ideas for Chen Hao participating in these three competitions.
Some Fans even boldly believed that Chen Hao would win the championship in all three of these competitions.
After all, in their eyes, Chen Hao is the strongest existence.
However, for some NBA stars, they were not so optimistic about Chen Hao.
Especially some retired legendary players, they had different views on Chen Hao participating in these three events.
"The Flying Pig" Barkley frankly stated:
"I admit that Chen Hao's performance in the regular season was outstanding.
But I don't think he can win a championship in any of these three competitions.
Because none of these three competitions are simple.
Even Michael, when he participated in the Three-Point Contest back then, he only scored five points, didn't he?
So, my view is that Chen Hao won't win a single championship!"
Barkley's taunt was quickly echoed by someone, and that was the famous Jazz legend Karl Malone.
Karl Malone agreed with Barkley's view:
"I think Charles's view is correct; Chen Hao cannot win a championship in these three Skills Challenge events!
Although his dunks are explosive, they lack creativity.
His three-point shooting lacks consistency.
His dribbling skills are not flashy enough!
This is where his shortcomings lie!"
With both Malone and Barkley speaking out, more and more legendary players joined the discussion.
Even the two Chicago Bulls legends, Jordan and Pippen, were drawn out.
Jordan spoke out because Barkley mentioned him in his comments.
So he chose to oppose Barkley's statement:
"I strongly disagree with Charles's statement.
I believe Chen Hao should be able to win the championship in the Slam Dunk Contest.
Because his dunks are full of violent aesthetics.
As long as the difficulty of his dunking moves is high enough, he can win the championship.
It's just that the other two competitions are not his forte.
So he will only win one championship!"
Jordan believed that Chen Hao could win the championship in the Slam Dunk Contest, while the other two competitions would be mere participation.
Pippen scoffed at Jordan's opinion:
"Hey, Michael, what you're saying is absolute nonsense!
In my opinion, you're clearly jealous of this guy's strength!
In my opinion, Chen Hao will definitely win the championship in all three events!
Becoming the first player in history to sweep all the championships!
If you think I'm wrong, I welcome you to make a bet with me!"
Pippen's words instantly drew significant attention from Fans and the media.
As everyone knows, Jordan and Pippen together built two Bulls dynasties, so their chemistry should have been very good.
But now, judging from their statements, it seems they both dislike each other.
Especially Pippen, who even threatened to bet with Jordan and believed that Chen Hao could win the championships in all three events.
This indeed shocked many people, and even Jordan was bewildered by Pippen's radical remarks.
In fact, for Pippen, although he and Jordan created the Bulls dynasty together, he always felt that Jordanovershadowed too much of his credit.
Therefore, after retirement, Pippen always believed that Jordan made his efforts in vain.
Now that everyone has retired, why not confront him directly and let everyone see that his vision is better than Jordan's.
At the very least, he should win against him once, right?
So, Pippen came up with this idea to publicly bet with Danzi.
However, in Pippen's opinion, although Jordan was a compulsive gambler, facing so much public attention, he probably wouldn't dare to accept the challenge.
In this way, at least in terms of momentum, Jordan would lose, and this was the result Pippen wanted.
Little did he know, when Jordan learned of Pippen's remarks, he actually chose to agree!
Although Jordan didn't know what got into Pippen, he still felt that Pippen had gone too far this time.
Didn't this guy know that the six Championship rings in his hand were all due to his efforts?
"Hey, Scottie, since you want to bet with me, of course, I'll play along!
I just wonder, what kind of stake have you prepared for this bet?"
Jordan turned the tables, not only accepting the challenge but also proactively teasing Pippen, asking what his stake was.
At this, Pippen was also stunned!
He originally just wanted to show off, but now he had overdone it, and it could backfire at any moment.
But now that things had come to this, he could only grit his teeth and accept the challenge.
And Pippen quickly thought of what the stake would be; since they were already playing big, they might as well go even bigger!
"Since we both have six Championship rings, why don't we use the Championship rings as the stake?
I just don't know if you dare!"
Pippen's response instantly ignited All-America!
Even Chen Hao became very interested when he learned of their bet!
"If I conspire with Pippen, can I make Danzi lose all his Championship rings?"
Chen Hao knew Danzi's personality; he was a compulsive gambler, and there were even rumors that he lost millions in a casino overnight.
So, if this guy loses one game, he will furiously continue to play.
So, if I really sweep the championships in these three All-Star events, just as Pippen predicted.
Danzi should be very upset, right?
Losing one championship is one thing; he might also be ridiculed by Fans across All-America.
At this point, if he is given another chance to win it back, I believe he will definitely choose to continue playing.
Thinking of this, Chen Hao couldn't help but smile:
"It would be very interesting if Danzi lost all the Championship rings he has!"
Once this idea formed in Chen Hao's mind, he had already made relevant plans.
After defeating the Miami Heat and participating in the Miami swimwear fashion show, the Boston Celticscontinued their regular season campaign.
With another six-game winning streak, the Boston Celtics, led by Chen Hao, were on a roll, having climbed to the top of the Eastern Conference standings.
It was now January 2008, and with All-Star Weekend approaching, the League began to warm up for the grand event.
Because Chen Hao was participating in three All-Starevents simultaneously, the League compiled highlights of Chen Hao's explosive performances in the regular season and actively encouraged Fans to participate in a guessing game.
This guessing game was about how many championships Chen Hao would win in these three events.
There were four possible outcomes: 0, 1, 2, 3.
Moreover, if one guessed correctly, they could win a prize of ten thousand usd.
Therefore, with such a reward, there were bound to be brave participants.
Many All-America Fans participated in this guessing game, and the hype around All-Star Weekend began to soar.
David Stern understood marketing, especially with Chen Hao's current buzz, he continuously gave Chen Haoample exposure.
As a result, all Boston Celtics games from mid-January until the All-Star break were broadcast live across All-America.
Whether it was a Boston Celtics home game or an away game, as long as they played, it was a national broadcast.
Therefore, during this period, the Boston Celtics received unprecedented attention, even surpassing the viewership ratings of last season's NBA Finals.
And as the focus of this attention, Chen Hao, in this series of All-America live broadcasted games, performed with veteran stability, and his average statistics were even more astonishing:
38.8 points, 12.8 rebounds, 13.5 assists, 6.5 steals, 7.5 blocks!
Moreover, in every game, Chen Hao would contribute at least five explosive dunks, and as for fast-break scores after steals, they were countless.
During this period, many businesses also recognized Chen Hao's massive flow and signed endorsement contracts with him.
In just over half a month, Chen Hao had already signed endorsement contracts worth two hundred million, covering a wide range of industries.
Therefore, at this time, the entire NBA was making a fortune due to Chen Hao's popularity, and Chen Hao was no exception.
As All-Star Weekend approached, the Boston Celtics met their final opponent before the All-Star Weekend:
The Chicago Bulls!
Before the game started, Jordan and Pippen had already publicly stated that they would be present to watch the game.
Because this game was a Bulls home game, it was also the first time Jordan and Pippen appeared together since their bet.
Consequently, this game received immense attention.
And tickets for this game were scalped at exorbitant prices!
Even seats in the nosebleed section cost five hundred usd, not to mention the front-row seats, which required over one hundred thousand usd to be eligible to sit there.
And before the game started, the media joked:
"The Chicago Bulls players should be the most aggrieved.
Because in this game, they are not the focus at all.
Rather, it's Chen Hao, Michael, and Scottie.
The bet between Michael and Scottie revolves around Chen Hao.
So, today's game will definitely be very interesting.
I also want to know, what will Chen Hao think when he sees Michael and Scottie?"
In fact, the media was absolutely right.
Because this season's Bulls team was indeed very average in strength.
Their star player was Ben Gordon, and this guy only averaged 18.6 points per game, not even exceeding 20 points.
Therefore, such a Bulls team really fails to generate any interest.
The reason for such great attention was simply because of the bet surrounding Chen Hao.
Before the game began, reporters interviewed Chen Hao, and when asked about his thoughts on the game, Chen Hao chuckled and quipped:
"Actually, I grew up watching Michael's games.
I only regret being born a decade or so too late.
Otherwise, Michael probably wouldn't have won so many Championship rings!
Or rather, he might not have won a single one."
Chen Hao's words instantly offended all Bulls Fans and Jordan Fans.
Because in their eyes, Jordan was like a god, and they would not allow anyone to slander his achievements.
But now Chen Hao actually said that if he had been born a decade earlier, he would have prevented Jordan from winning a single championship?
Who gave him such confidence?
And Chen Hao's words also reached Jordan's ears.
For Jordan, who was always very selfish and narrow-minded, such remarks were what he disliked the most.
So he retorted with equal sharpness:
"Young people sure talk tough.
If I had been born a decade later, I'd probably kick his ass!
He should focus on how to win a championship in the All-Star Game!"
Jordan's domineering response made his Fans and supporters incredibly excited and thrilled.
Now, this game became even more anticipated.
Only Pippen, after hearing Chen Hao's words, appeared quite happy:
"This guy really suits my taste!
Young people should be a bit arrogant!
There's absolutely nothing wrong with what he said!
Michael, on the other hand, is indeed a bit petty!"
The Chicago Bulls home game against the Boston Celticsofficially began!
When Chen Hao took the court, the entire arena erupted in boos from the Fans.
However, Chen Hao's face was full of smiles, and upon seeing Pippen courtside, he actively walked towards him.
Sitting next to Pippen was the winner of six championships, the first person in NBA history to create two Bulls dynasties, Michael Jordan.
While everyone expected Chen Hao to greet Jordan first, Chen Hao instead went directly to Pippen.
With a smile, Chen Hao said to Pippen:
"Hey, Scottie, I really appreciate your eye for talent!
I will prove that your judgment is not wrong!
By the way, have you decided which year's championship you want to take from him?
After all, at this point, he still has a choice."
Chen Hao's words made Jordan's face beside him incredibly gloomy!
Chapter 132: What Class? You Expect Me to Greet You First? Who Are You, God of Basketball?
Jordan was never a magnanimous person; on the contrary, he was always selfish and narrow-minded.
On the court, he was competitive, he was aggressive, and he never gave his opponents a chance.
Off the court, he was a compulsive gambler, often spending money at the gambling table all night long.
Of course, he also held grudges; if anyone spoke ill of him in public or behind his back, he would remember it firmly.
And when the opportunity arose, he would retaliate fiercely against the other party, and after retaliating, he would mock them mercilessly.
This was Danzi's personality; he never wanted to put himself at a disadvantage or suffer, because in his opinion, such things should only happen to others, and preferably be caused by him.
This is also why when Pippen publicly challenged him and wanted to bet with him, he chose to respond aggressively.
Because Danzi believed that Pippen, who was already the second-in-command on the Chicago Bulls, now retired, actually wanted to ride over his head?
He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen, especially in front of All-America Fans.
Furthermore, Danzi had actually been following Chen Hao's performance this season, which was indeed quite eye-catching and showed the potential of a superstar.
However, even if Chen Hao possessed such potential, it did not mean he could truly achieve every honor and accomplishment.
Especially in these three All-Star events, for a player to participate in all of them and want to win all the Championships was as likely as winning the lottery.
Even a player as strong as Danzi, when he participated in the Three-Point Contest, only scored a mere 5 points, making him a big meme in the Three-Point Contest.
Now, Chen Hao even wanted to sweep the Championshipin all three events; this was simply a pipe dream.
This was why Danzi chose to bet with Pippen!
He wanted to prove to the All-America Fans that just as he could firmly suppress Pippen during his playing days, he could also firmly suppress Pippen after retirement!
In any case, Pippen could not defeat him, whether in basketball or in foresight!
But now Chen Hao, in front of Pippen, asked him which year of Danzi's Championship ring he wanted to choose as a bet; this was truly too arrogant, too excessive!
Such a thing was absolutely not allowed to happen!
Therefore, Danzi was now ready to give Chen Hao a good scolding.
He knew Chen Hao would probably greet him soon, and then his trash talk would come in handy.
After Chen Hao finished speaking, Pippen immediately burst into laughter:
"Hahaha!
Little guy, it seems you're full of mischief too!
You clearly knew Michael was standing next to me.
You actually asked that question in front of him and me.
Aren't you afraid he'll have a problem with you?
But, I must say, your words made me feel very comfortable!
Don't you think so?
Michael?"
After speaking, Pippen even looked at Danzi next to him with a challenging expression.
Danzi did not speak at this moment; instead, he stared intently at Chen Hao.
He now wanted Chen Hao to speak to him first so he could counterattack.
Otherwise, given his status and position, he would absolutely not engage Chen Hao first.
Little did he know, what Danzi waited for was Chen Hao's words to Pippen:
"Hey, Scottie, you know what?
I only respect those who respect me.
For those who don't, I naturally have no intention of speaking to them!
I'll say it again, I'm honored that you believe in me.
And I will certainly not let you down!"
After speaking, Chen Hao turned and walked directly onto the court.
From beginning to end, Chen Hao truly only communicated with Pippen, never even glancing at Jordan standing beside him.
Jordan's eyes almost popped out!
He never dreamed that in this world, someone would dare to disrespect him so much!
And this guy was even next to him, chatting and laughing with Pippen.
This guy actually ignored his existence?
Danzi's expression management was almost out of control!
It should be known that the live camera was giving him a close-up, so even though Danzi was extremely angry at this moment, he had to appear calm.
Otherwise, he believed that soon, the media would widely report on the rift between him and Chen Hao.
But in reality, Danzi was now incredibly furious; he even wanted to severely beat up Pippen next to him.
Because Danzi could feel that Pippen next to him was staring at him with a playful look and a smile on his face, eagerly waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
So Danzi couldn't let his expression get out of control. In the end, he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and slowly sat down.
Just then, Pippen next to him said with emotion:
"What a pity!
Such a good kid!
He just has bad eyesight!
Our God of Basketball is right here, and he can't even see him!
I'll criticize him later and tell him to get his eyes checked!
After all, no matter what, you were once the king of this court!"
Danzi, who was already feeling very aggrieved and annoyed, finally couldn't hold back after hearing Pippen's deliberate teasing:
"Hey, Scottie, shut your stinking mouth!
Damn it!
Just wait to hand over your Championship ring to me!"
At this moment, Pippen, seeing Danzi lose control of his emotions, finally burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, I'm really too happy today!
Michael, Michael, you have your day too!
Now you finally know what it feels like to be ignored, don't you?
You've always been self-centered, thinking everyone in the world should know you, should worship you!
Now it seems this young kid just doesn't buy into that.
He doesn't even look at you directly!
Are you very angry?
Do you think he's very arrogant?
Don't worry, I really don't think he did anything wrong!
You know, you didn't think highly of him!
You even thought he could at most win a Slam Dunk Contest Championship!
So why should he greet someone who looks down on him?
He doesn't need to do that at all!
This is the right thing to do!
In his eyes, he's friendly to whoever thinks he's strong!
And you, you think he's no good, so why should he greet you first?
Just because you're a Chicago Bulls legend?
Or because you once created the Chicago Bulls dynasty?
And people should respect you for that?
Admit it!
You're an outdated star!
He doesn't need to respect you!
And you, you'll soon be defeated by his actions!"
After Pippen finished speaking, he felt refreshed, never having been so comfortable in his life.
All along, Danzi had been like a great mountain, pressing down on him.
When Danzi retired, Pippen even thought his chance had come.
But the final result was that he couldn't prove his super leadership ability, nor could he lead a team to a Championship as a solo star.
So, in the end, he could only accept the fate of being the second-in-command.
Later, he went to the Portland Trail Blazers, but still couldn't prove himself.
Therefore, Pippen could be said to have lived his entire life in Danzi's shadow.
But now, Chen Hao's attitude towards Danzi finally made Pippen realize that he didn't need to constantly compare himself to Danzi.
Because if he thought about it in reverse, if he hadn't been on the Chicago Bulls back then, could Danzi really have led a team to a Championship as a solo star?
Could he have built two Chicago Bulls dynasties by himself?
Not necessarily, right?
So, at this moment, Pippen was in a very joyful mood; his lifelong knot was untied by Chen Hao's actions just now!
Therefore, he was truly looking forward to Chen Hao's performance at the All-Star Weekend.
Danzi did not speak again from beginning to end, but from his expression, it was clear that he was extremely angry inside.
Having been teammates for so many years, Pippennaturally knew Danzi's personality.
At the same time, the Fans and commentators at the scene also saw Chen Hao's disrespectful behavior towards Danzi through the camera.
"Damn it, that guy didn't even greet Michael first?"
"He actually ignored Michael?"
"Who does this guy think he is? That's Michael, that's the God of Basketball!"
"This son of a bitch, he's really too arrogant!"
"He's going against the All-America Fans!"
The Bulls players also noticed Chen Hao's disrespectful actions towards Jordan, and their faces were filled with shock.
At this moment, Head Coach Skiles immediately gathered them:
"Hey, in the game later, I need you all to show some fighting spirit!
That guy's disrespect towards Michael has already caused public outrage!
We must let the home Fans see our attitude!
Michael is the spiritual totem of this city, and many of you grew up watching his games!
So, your idol has been humiliated, and you must get revenge for him!
Understood?"
"Understood!"
All the Bulls players looked pumped up, clearly motivated by their Head Coach's words.
With this strong fighting spirit, the game officially began!
The Bulls starting lineup was:
Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Kirk Hinrich, Ben Wallace, Joe Smith.
As for the Boston Celtics, they continued with their previous lineup.
Tip-off!
Jefferson vs. Ben Wallace!
Jefferson easily tipped the ball to Chen Hao!
Chen Hao slowly dribbled the ball past half-court!
Defending him was Ben Gordon, the Bulls' top scorer.
At this moment, Ben Gordon, while guarding Chen Hao, also said angrily to Chen Hao:
"Hey, rookie, you know what?
You just ignored our idol!
We'll make you pay for it!"
Chen Hao at this moment had a face full of question marks, and he asked somewhat puzzled:
"When did I ignore your idol?"
"Just now, you didn't even greet Michael first!
This is a crime!
Do you know what Michael means to us?"
"Is he your father?"
"Damn it! F*ck! You're really dead!"
Ben Gordon never dreamed that Chen Hao would retort him like that.
And Chen Hao, seeing Ben Gordon's exasperation, said with an even bigger smile:
"Hey, it seems it's true!
You'd better think about how to defend my three-point shot this time!"
After speaking, Chen Hao directly pulled up for a three-pointer from the logo!
Ben Gordon never dreamed that Chen Hao would directly pull up for a three-pointer from that position!
So, by the time he reacted, Chen Hao had already jumped to his highest point and completed the shot!
Ben Gordon could only watch helplessly as the basketball flew towards the hoop!
In his heart, he believed that Chen Hao's super long-range three-pointer this time could not possibly go in!
But the next second, his expression became incredibly shocked!
Because Chen Hao's super long-range three-pointer actually went in cleanly!
"Sorry to disappoint you!
I seem to have made it!"
Chen Hao, who had made the super long-range three-pointer, didn't forget to spread his hands and taunt Ben Gordon.
The Chicago Bulls Fans on the scene were originally going to boo loudly.
But when they saw Chen Hao make that super long-range logo three-pointer, they completely quieted down!
The camera even specifically focused on Danzi sitting courtside; although Danzi looked calm at the moment, it was clear that he was not very happy!
On the contrary, Pippen next to him actually stood up excitedly and applauded Chen Hao enthusiastically!
Pippen's unusual behavior made some Chicago BullsFans very unhappy:
"Hey, what's wrong with Scottie today?
Why is he supporting that damn guy?"
In response, the live commentator laughed and teased:
"Perhaps, from the moment he made that bet with Michael, Chen Hao had already become Scottie's teammate!
So, Michael is now Scottie's opponent!
It seems perfectly fine for him to support his teammate!"
The commentator's words drew boos from the Fans, but Pippen, with an excited expression, gave the commentator a thumbs-up.
It seemed the commentator's explanation was much to Pippen's liking.
And the viewers in front of their televisions became greatly interested in this game.
Especially Chen Hao's attitude towards Jordan made them even more eager for Chen Hao's upcoming performance!
It was the Bulls' turn to attack!
Hinrich dribbled past half-court!
At this moment, he and Ben Gordon formed a pick-and-roll, and the ball was passed to Ben Gordon!
At this time, his defender was West, while Chen Hao was on the other side!
In this situation, Ben Gordon naturally chose to attack aggressively!
So, under West's defense, Ben Gordon directly dribbled hard to the basket!
He was going for a layup over West!
What he didn't know was that Chen Hao was closely following behind him, and his teammates were shouting loudly, telling him to pass the ball out!
But Ben Gordon was already too focused at this moment and didn't hear his teammates' warnings; he had already released the shot!
Just as he shot, Chen Hao, who had chased from behind, leaped high and directly swatted the ball out of bounds!
And at this moment, after being swatted by Chen Hao, the basketball flew directly towards Danzi and Pippen's seats!
Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, the basketball flew squarely in front of Danzi!
Seeing the basketball about to hit Danzi's face, he calmly raised his arm and steadily caught the ball!
At this moment, his gaze towards Chen Hao had become incredibly grim!
Because he knew that Chen Hao's block this time was deliberately aimed at swatting the ball in his direction!
Chapter 133: I've said it before, on the basketball court, we only play basketball. Why do you insist on practicing your fists and feet with me?
Chen Hao's provocative actions drew strong disapproval from the Fans present.
Even the live commentator jested with a look of amusement:
"Chen Hao's block was truly masterful!
He managed to swat the ball precisely towards Michael's seat.
This indeed requires both skill and technique!"
At this moment, Chen Hao even made a gesture of shading his eyes with his hand, looking out at the basketball.
This arrogant move once again infuriated all the Fanspresent and the Chicago Bulls players.
"Damn it, do you know what you're doing?"
Ben Wallace could no longer tolerate Chen Hao's arrogant behavior!
He walked directly up to Chen Hao, raised his right elbow, and shoved it towards Chen Hao's chest!
Ben Wallace's reputation was quite prominent throughout the entire league.
Although he was traded from the Detroit Pistons to the Chicago Bulls this season, Ben Wallace had made significant contributions to the Detroit Pistons' Championship in the 03-04 season.
If he hadn't severely restricted O'Neal in the paint, the Detroit Pistons would not have been able to win that Championship.
Ben Wallace was famously tough; he feared no confrontation, his physique was extremely strong, and despite not being tall, he was always full of fighting spirit.
Even though he was already in the twilight of his career, he remained a symbol of toughness.
Now, seeing a young player like Chen Hao act so arrogantly on the Chicago Bulls' home turf, he naturally had to teach him a lesson.
At the very least, he wanted Chen Hao to know that on this court, Chen Hao couldn't just do whatever he wanted.
He originally thought this shove would push Chen Haoback a few steps, but the result left everyone stunned.
Ben Wallace's sudden shove not only failed to move Chen Hao, but he himself was pushed back a few steps by the immense counterforce.
Even Ben Wallace looked at Chen Hao with surprise, not understanding what had just happened.
Fans who had seen The Palace brawl should be deeply impressed by Ben Wallace's strength.
After being intentionally fouled by Artest, he directly elbowed the strong Artest, making him lose his balance and almost fall to his knees.
Although his condition had declined by then, it shouldn't have deteriorated to the point where he couldn't even push someone, right?
Yet Chen Hao stood perfectly still, not even frowning.
Ben Wallace, who had stumbled back a few steps, now had eyes full of shock.
Chen Hao, on the other hand, smiled mockingly at Ben Wallace:
"Hey, Ben Wallace, in just a few years, you've become this weak?
You can't even push me; what did your Head Coach send you out here to do?
I advise you to go back to the bench!
That way, you might at least save some face.
When you get old, you have to accept it; don't try to be too strong!"
Chen Hao's words made the Boston Celtics players burst into laughter.
Chen Hao's trash talk was as hurtful as ever.
For a tough player like Ben Wallace, he hated nothing more than being called weak or old.
Now, Chen Hao had openly mocked him like this.
How could Ben Wallace possibly endure it?
So, Ben Wallace lunged forward again, intending to teach Chen Hao a harsh lesson.
But the referee had already arrived and timely held Ben Wallace back!
Seeing Ben Wallace being restrained by the referee, Chen Hao also said with a look of regret:
"Referee, you really don't need to hold him back!
Because he can't do anything to me!
You all saw it just now; he couldn't even push me!
He himself stumbled backward!
I even thought he was trying to flop and draw an offensive foul on me!"
Chen Hao's words once again made the Boston Celticsplayers burst into laughter.
It was truly too vicious!
And Ben Wallace, upon hearing Chen Hao's taunts, almost broke free from the referee's grasp, roaring madly at Chen Hao:
"Damn it!
You remember what you just said!
I won't let you off easily!"
Chen Hao, at this moment, looked indifferent, even shrugging and saying:
"I also want to see what you're capable of and what you can do to me!
But I advise you not to lay a hand on me!
We're on a basketball court right now, so let's let basketball do the talking!
If you want to fight, I'm certainly up for it.
But we can choose to do it after the game, can't we!"
After saying that, Chen Hao even winked at Ben Wallace.
Seeing Chen Hao's expression, Ben Wallace almost lost control.
Ultimately, Ben Wallace was substituted out by the Chicago Bulls' Head Coach.
Ben Wallace was fuming at this moment, and he was not suitable to be on the court.
Chen Hao's expression, in response, was one of deep regret; he could only shake his head helplessly and say to Ben Gordon:
"Are all of you guys this hot-tempered?
Can't even handle a couple of trash talks?
Then when I blow you guys out later, are you just going to cry?"
After speaking, Chen Hao shook his head in disappointment and walked to the opposite half of the court.
The Fans present, seeing Chen Hao's obnoxious demeanor, all showed expressions of gnashing teeth.
Even Jordan, sitting courtside, now muttered to Pippenwith a displeased look:
"This guy is really too arrogant.
He'll regret it sooner or later!"
Pippen, however, smiled nonchalantly:
"Compared to his arrogance, I don't think you were exactly a quiet person in your rookie season.
So, you really have no right to criticize him.
Besides, in my opinion, shouldn't you be a bit arrogant when playing an away game?"
Pippen's words left Jordan speechless; he could only say fiercely:
"Just you wait, this guy will definitely pay for it!"
When Pippen heard Jordan's words, he smiled and said:
"You're already starting to panic!
Because you're already beginning to think that betting with me was a mistake!
But unfortunately, you no longer have a chance to regret it!
Hahaha.
Which year's Championship ring have you decided to put up as a bet?
To be honest, I prefer the 1992 one.
After all, that year was the most memorable."
Pippen's words made Danzi's expression incredibly gloomy:
"Damn it, shut your stinking mouth!
If you're sleepy, just go home and sleep!
Dreaming might even give you a chance to win against me!"
The game continued!
Ben Wallace's earlier shove at Chen Hao earned him a technical foul.
And the fact that Ben Wallace couldn't move Chen Haoalso left the Chicago Bulls players incredibly shocked.
But even more shocking things were yet to come!
With Ben Wallace substituted out, the Chicago Bulls' interior was left with only Drew Gooden.
His defensive ability was only average, and he wasn't very tall.
This gave Chen Hao an excellent opportunity to attack the paint!
So, under the high screen from his teammate Jefferson, Chen Hao dribbled directly into the paint!
At this moment, Drew Gooden was forced to defend Chen Hao.
He had heard of Chen Hao's fierce reputation, so he dared not be negligent.
Nor did he dare to be overconfident; Gooden directly chose to charge at Chen Hao's body.
He wanted to pull Chen Hao down from the air and send him to the free-throw line.
But Gooden still underestimated Chen Hao's impact!
When Chen Hao was already airborne, he was in an unstoppable state!
So when Gooden collided with Chen Hao, attempting to pull him down from the air, Chen Hao actually knocked him flying in mid-air!
As Gooden fell to the floor, Chen Hao had already slammed the ball into the hoop with one hand!
The Fans present were instantly stunned!
Silence fell upon the arena!
Only Pippen, with an excited expression, leaped from his seat!
Madly shouting at Danzi beside him:
"Did you see that?
Did you see that?
This guy knocked Drew flying and completed a poster dunk!
Too strong!
I think this guy's strength is already stronger than yours at your peak!
This time, I have even more confidence in him!
Tremble!
Damn Michael!"
Pippen was completely overcome with excitement; Chen Hao's performance truly thrilled him.
And Danzi, sitting beside him, now had a face so grim it could drip water.
"Damn Scottie!
Get away from me!
Don't jump around in front of me!"
At this moment, Danzi could only rage helplessly at Pippen.
But Pippen paid no mind to Danzi's anger; instead, he excitedly shouted towards Chen Hao in the middle of the court:
"Hey, little guy!
Well done!
You should play more offense like that!
Let them see your true strength!"
In response to Pippen's shouts, Chen Hao gave a clear hand gesture indicating he understood.
This time, Pippen's actions thoroughly infuriated all the Fans present!
"Traitor!"
"Damn Scottie, is he crazy?"
"I really can't understand what this guy is thinking?"
"This guy will do anything stupid to beat Michael!"
Pippen paid no attention to the prolonged boos and curses; he had already retired anyway, and he didn't care what the Chicago Bulls Fans thought of him.
What he cared about was winning against Danzi and winning one of his Championship rings!
The game continued here!
Chen Hao's act of knocking Gooden flying for a poster dunk left a deep impression on the Chicago Bulls players, so they began to play cautiously when defending Chen Hao.
And Chen Hao, he was completely on fire!
Not only did he relentlessly attack the Chicago Bulls' paint, but he also showcased his exceptional shooting skills, effortlessly executing various difficult fadeaway jump shots!
Even his sudden long-range shots from beyond the three-point line instilled a sense of utter despair!
From Ben Wallace's substitution until the end of the first quarter, Chen Hao had already exploded for over 30 points!
20:45!
The Chicago Bulls trailed by a massive 25 points in a single quarter!
Jordan was very displeased with this score!
He even muttered under his breath:
"This lineup is too trash!"
Pippen, hearing this, chuckled and teased:
"Perhaps they're not trash, but that guy is just too strong!"
Jordan: "."
In the second quarter, the Chicago Bulls changed their defensive strategy, beginning to double-team Chen Haorelentlessly.
But the effect was still not ideal, because Chen Hao's off-ball movement was also excellent.
Especially his timing and skill in cutting to the basket, which even made Pippen applaud in admiration:
"This guy is also a master of off-ball movement!
He can play off-ball whenever he wants, and he can play on-ball whenever he wants!
This guy has no weaknesses at all!
Did you see that?
His post-up game is comparable to yours, even better than yours!"
Jordan had had enough of Pippen chattering in his ear, so he simply stood up and left the stands.
The camera, at this moment, focused on Jordan's retreating figure.
All the Fans in the arena were quite disappointed when they saw Jordan leave in a huff.
Because the Chicago Bulls' performance in this game was simply too poor!
They couldn't even limit Chen Hao's scoring; he had already dropped 50 points by halftime. How were they supposed to play now?
With one last possession remaining in the first half, the Boston Celtics were on offense!
At this moment, Chen Hao was dribbling at the top of the arc, seeing that all his teammates had cleared out!
Meaning, they wanted him to go one-on-one!
Chen Hao, naturally, would not let down his teammates' trust!
When there were only six seconds left on the shot clock, Chen Hao made his move!
He first used a small, quick change of direction to easily shake off Ben Gordon's defense, arriving near the free-throw line!
Then, facing the charging Joe Smith, he directly chose a quick front spin, leaving Joe Smith behind him!
After the spin, Chen Hao had already reached the vicinity of the restricted area!
At this moment, Ben Wallace and Gooden had already double-teamed him directly!
Four large hands were raised high, sealing off all of Chen Hao's offensive space!
This time, Chen Hao seemed to have walked into the Chicago Bulls' heavy encirclement!
It seemed utterly impossible for him to get a shot off!
Little did anyone know, just when everyone thought Chen Hao's attack was a trap, he leaped with all his might!
In just an instant, Chen Hao had already broken through their two-man defense, appearing above their heads!
Then, with the force of thunder, he slammed the ball into the hoop with both hands!
Chen Hao's final attack saw him dribble past four defenders in a row, completing a thunderous dunk!
The arena instantly fell into a deathly silence!
And the moment he completed that dunk, the halftime buzzer sounded!
Chen Hao completed the dunk at the buzzer!
"Actually, I didn't want to posterize you guys!
But you insisted on standing in front of me!
So I had no choice but to do this!
Remember, don't try to be strong next time!
Because you really can't defeat me!"
After dropping these words, Chen Hao walked straight to the locker room!
And at this moment, Ben Wallace, after being posterized by Chen Hao, finally couldn't contain his inner rage!
He couldn't accept being posterized by Chen Hao and then being trash-talked, so he directly charged after Chen Hao!
He no longer wanted to wait until the end of the game; he wanted to brutally beat Chen Hao right now!
He no longer cared about the subsequent penalties from the league!
He had to vent the anger in his heart!
"Go to hell!
You damn guy!"
Ben Wallace shouted loudly as he charged towards Chen Hao's back!
At least, this time he wasn't ambushing him!
And Chen Hao, upon hearing Ben Wallace's shouts, quickly turned around!
The moment he turned, Ben Wallace's figure appeared in front of Chen Hao!
It looked like he was about to tackle Chen Hao to the ground!
But Chen Hao smiled slightly, quickly extended his hands, and caught Ben Wallace's body!
The next moment, Ben Wallace was directly thrown flying by Chen Hao!
