Chapter 26: The explosive tip-in! Conquer Rondo! Rondo: It smells so good!

Kenny Smith, Barkley's gold medal partner, became interested instantly after learning that Barkley was not optimistic about Chen Hao.

The offseason is boring to begin with, and now seeing that Barkley is so dissatisfied with Chen Hao, Kenny Smith certainly cannot be missed.

So he made a bet with Barkley directly on social media:
"Hey, Charles, since you don't think highly of Chen Hao, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"How to bet?"

"Let's bet on Chen Hao's average points per game in the summer league!"

"Okay, how many points do you think he can score per game?"

At this moment, Barkley suddenly became interested and asked hurriedly.

"I think he can get at least 25 points per game, and 25+5+5 per game!"

Kenny Smith seemed very confident in Chen Hao and directly stated this amazing average statistic.

When Barkley saw Kenny Smith's prediction, he was instantly excited:
"Okay, I'll make a bet with you!
我打赌他不可能拿到场均25+5+5的数据，甚至连20+5+5都拿不到！”

Barkley obviously didn't think highly of Chen Hao, so he directly agreed to make a bet with Kenny Smith.

Seeing that Barkley agreed to bet with him, Kenny Smith quickly said the stakes of this bet:

“If I win, you will have to kiss the pig’s butt in front of the whole audience!

Last time you kissed a donkey's butt, this time you kiss a pig's butt, isn't that too much? "

Kenny Smith's ridicule made Barkley very depressed, and he got angry whenever he thought about it.

Now it is actually related to the Dragon Country players again, but this time he is absolutely sure of winning.

"Okay, it's a deal!

All the fans in the world can testify to this!

If you lose, you have to kiss the pig's butt too!"

Barkley obviously didn't want to make things easy for his old friend and also stated his own demands.

The bet was proposed by Kenny Smith, so of course he wouldn't refuse!

Thus, the bet between Barkley and Kenny Smith was established, and all the fans in the United States knew about the bet between the two!

Now, the summer league held in Las Vegas instantly attracted a lot of attention.

After all, it's the off-season now, and there are no NBA games to watch, which makes many fans feel bored.

Originally, they were not very interested in the summer league and would not even take a serious look at it.

After all, the players participating in the summer league are basically rookies and sophomores of NBA teams, as well as some undrafted players, so the strength of the teams is not very strong, and it is also known as a fight between rookies.

However, for many rookie players, this is a rare training opportunity. Even the Dragon Country men's basketball national team will appear in the summer league. The purpose is to train the team and improve its combat effectiveness.

The bet between Barkley and Kenny Smith once again brought Chen Hao to the forefront of public attention.

Even the team's general manager, Ainge, was very interested in their bet.

Although he was very optimistic about Chen Hao's talent and potential, he still had to test it through actual combat.

In fact, he is under tremendous pressure now, and Barkley is right.

If Chen Hao performs poorly and fails to meet expectations in his rookie season, Ainge will most likely be fired by the boss.

After all, they were at the bottom of the table last season, and it would be really unacceptable if they were to be at the bottom again this season!
所以此时的安吉对于陈昊的夏季联赛表现相当的关心，不要求他真的场均25+5+5，最起码也要达到20+5+5的数据吧。只有这样，才能够堵住众多球迷和专家的嘴巴。

So, in the Celtics' first game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Ainge showed up in person.

This game was not originally broadcast live, after all, it was just a summer league game.

But because of the bet between Barkley and Kenny Smith, it became a nationwide live broadcast, which gave players from both sides a chance to show their faces!

Chen Hao was very familiar with many of the players sent by the Celtics to participate in the summer league, including the future coach Rondo and Rajon Rondo.

This guy is already a sophomore, so he deservedly becomes the boss of the team in this summer league.

Rajon Rondo's personality is not one that is easy to get along with, especially for rookie players.

When he learned that the team had spent a lot of effort to get Chen Hao, he felt very depressed.

Because he knew Chen Hao, and he had also seen Chen Hao's performance in the NCAA Championship. It is undeniable that Chen Hao has good talent.

But selecting Chen Hao will not be of much help to the current Celtics team.

Because Rondo believes that what the Celtics lack now is not a player with potential, but a plug-and-play player.

Because he is one of the players with great potential, now that the team has him, there is no need to choose Chen Hao.

Especially after learning that Chen Hao had signed a high-priced rookie contract, Rondo felt even more unhappy.

Now that he heard that Barkley and Kenny Smith had made a bet on Chen Hao's average data, Rondo already had a countermeasure in his mind.

This guy hasn't even officially entered the NBA, but he's already gotten into so much trouble, which means he's definitely not a good player.

Rondo felt it necessary to teach Chen Hao a lesson in the summer league and let him know the cruelty of the NBA.

Therefore, Rondo will never allow Chen Hao to get good personal data in the summer league, because he has the final say in the team now!

Chen Hao didn't know what Rondo was thinking. He just wanted to play well in the summer league. After all, he also surfed the Internet, and of course he knew about the bet between Barkley and Kenny Smith.

"Since this crow mouth wants to see me in trouble, I can only let him taste the taste of pig's butt!"

This is what Chen Hao said when he was interviewed by reporters before the game.

Boston Celtics vs. Memphis Grizzlies!

The Celtics got the ball first!
Rondo dribbled across half court and directed traffic at the top of the arc.

At this time, Chen Hao was standing outside the three-point line at a forty-five-degree angle on the left!

Rondo certainly knew that Chen Hao was standing there, but he never thought of passing the ball to Chen Hao.

Rondo signaled his teammates in the inside to come forward for screen and roll, and he took advantage of the screen and broke into the inside!
In the regular season, Rondo basically chooses to break through and pass the ball, after all, that is his characteristic.

But this is the summer league, so he chose to attack the basket directly!
But this time his breakthrough layup was a little too strong and bounced off the rim!

Just as the Grizzlies' inside player Swift was about to grab the defensive rebound, a black shadow fell from the sky!

While jumping high, he caught the basketball steadily with both hands!

At last!
He even dunked the ball into the basket!
What is most shocking is that this tip-in was completed by riding on Swift’s head!
There was a brief silence at the scene!

At this time, they finally saw clearly who this person was!
It’s Chen Hao wearing the No. 8 jersey!

He immediately contributed a domineering two-handed dunk at the start of the game that shocked the whole audience!
Rondo, whose layup missed, looked up at Chen Hao who was riding on Swift's head.
