NBA's Super Troublemaker

Chapter 30 So you call yourself the Kobe terminator?

Inside the changing room.

Ruben Patterson, nicknamed "Kobe the Terminator," spoke first, his face full of ill intent, pointing to a cabinet and saying:

"Hey newbie, you can use this cabinet. There are some carefully prepared gifts inside!"

These words immediately sparked a burst of laughter in the locker room, instantly enlivening the atmosphere.

Li He knew there was something fishy going on, but he still opened the cabinet.

A stench hit me; the cabinet was stuffed with several unwashed socks, and the stench was overwhelming.

"Hahaha!"

"Welcome, newbie!"

"So, do you like this gift?"

"Oh... look at the newbie's expression, it must be the first time he's encountered something like this, he's completely frozen!"

Li He didn't reach out and throw away the socks, but instead glanced at Ruben Paterson:

"Did you do this?"

Ruben Patterson said in a pretentious manner, "What? This is a welcome ceremony that every team has."

"If you can't adapt, it means you can't adapt to the NBA."

Li He chuckled and said, "I don't need this cabinet; you can use this one."

These words instantly transformed the previously relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in the locker room into one of tension and hostility.

The members of the "Trail Blazers Prison Team" sized up Li He one by one, thinking that this kid was pretty much as described in the news, and indeed he was a tough guy.

Even the toughest players have to behave themselves when they get to the Trail Blazers.

Young people are still too naive. They think they're something special just because they have a temper. Who among you hasn't been to jail before?

Ruben Patterson, who was being attacked at point-blank range, was the first to stand up: "Kid, you're provoking me!"

Li He nodded: "That's right, that's it."

Before entering the locker room, Li He had imagined many possible pranks, but he never expected Ruben Paterson to be this disgusting.

Since the other party is so disgusting, Li He will definitely not give him a friendly look.

Ruben Paterson walked up to Li He with a fierce look on his face: "If you know what's good for you, just use that cabinet and don't force me to do it."

"Otherwise you will die a terrible death."

Li He sneered: "You don't think you're so great just because you abused your wife, raped your nanny, and went to jail, do you? You scum."

"As for the rumors of you being a violent maniac, to be honest, I don't sense a trace of violence in you. Yeah, that's all."

"Hahaha! Rookie!" Ruben Patterson laughed. "You don't think you're so great just because you fought Quintel Woods, do you?"

Li He replied, "I am a civilized man and have no intention of fighting with you."

"Don't want to do it? Don't try to save face with that excuse! You're just a complete waste!"

Li He added, "I just wanted to have a boxing match with you to strengthen our friendship."

"Hehe, listen to what that newbie is saying, he seems really confident!"

The players in the locker room looked at each other in surprise. Stoudemire, nicknamed "Little Flying Squirrel," hadn't expected his junior to be so hardcore.

On the first day of the team's reunion, he argued with veteran players in the locker room, and the situation even became tense, with threats of violence.

The junior student just chose the wrong target; Ruben Paterson is not someone to be trifled with.

Damon Stoudemire exchanged a glance with Li He, signaling him not to be so forceful.

Li He, however, remained defiant and refused to yield an inch.

Being with these so-called problem players isn't something that ends in a day or two; it takes a long season of getting to know them.

If Li He is outmatched on the very first day, his rookie season will definitely be filled with bullying.

This is not in line with his character.

Kobe's terminator, right?

Today I'll show you what it means to be the terminator of the Kobe terminator!

……

The feud between Li He and Ruben Paterson has now begun.

One was a rookie who entered the team with the aura of "genius + troublemaker";

One is a veteran player with a long list of crimes.

A conflict broke out on the very first day of the new season's training camp, with neither side willing to back down, and a resolution was needed.

Otherwise, no one would have the face to stay in the team.

The two left the locker room, followed by the rest of the players, who came to watch the spectacle.

The Trail Blazers have multiple training rooms to accommodate different players and different training needs. One of the training rooms, located in a corner, has a boxing ring, which is used by the players for leisure and entertainment.

Li He and Ruben Paterson walked towards that place at the same time, both thinking that they wanted to beat the other up and teach him a lesson.

Ruben Paterson is still clamoring:

"Kid, if you kneel down and kowtow to me now to admit your mistake, I might spare your life. Otherwise, once we're in the ring, things won't be so simple."

Li He rolled his eyes at him: "Why are you babbling on and on? Why don't you go do voice acting for a movie?"

After being momentarily speechless, Ruben Paterson kicked open the training room door and entered first.

Li He blocked everyone behind him and followed them into the training room, locking the door behind him.

The Trail Blazers players left outside the door exchanged glances, wondering why Li He was locking the door.

Bonzi Wells: "What's this rookie doing? Is he afraid of getting beaten up too badly, so he's not letting us watch?"

Quintel Woods: "Honestly, I don't think Hansen Lee would last two minutes against Ruben Patterson. That guy Ruben even trained in boxing during the offseason!"

Zach Randolph pursed his lips, wanting to see what was happening inside, but unfortunately he couldn't see it for the time being.

Several teammates pressed their ears against the door frame, trying to discern the battle situation by listening to the sounds.

Zach Randolph then left, calling the person an "idiot," because he could see inside the training room from the outside through the window.

……

Inside the training room.

Li He casually grabbed a pair of boxing gloves and was about to put them on when Ruben Paterson started provoking him again:

"Rookie, what era are we living in? Still wearing boxing gloves? Those are for staff, real men don't need them!"

"Of course, it's fine if you want me to wear it; that way it will cause you less harm. Haha!"

Seeing Ruben Paterson's arrogant demeanor, Li He understood that the other party wanted to fight bare-knuckle.

In boxing matches, besides making the fight smoother, boxing gloves are also used to protect the hands.

But bare-knuckle punches are even more bloody and violent.

Their differences are similar to those between MotoGP and Isle of Man TT.

"Whatever," Li He said as he walked onto the stage.

There were no spectators, no referees, it was a pure feud between the two, and no referee was needed. Whoever fell was a noob.

Ruben Paterson is a defensive stalwart with a strong physique. He also trained in boxing during the off-season, so he was full of confidence and launched an offensive right from the start.

Pressuring footsteps, provocative words, and probing punches.

Then he was hit in the face by a combination of punches from Li He, consisting of a straight punch followed by a swing punch.

With just one punch, Ruben Paterson was stunned. He shook his head, trying to regain his senses and fight back, but Li He showed no martial ethics and quickly stepped forward to deliver another punch to his face!

Less than 20 seconds into the exchange, Ruben Paterson was knocked to the ground without even a chance to scream.

He was still somewhat conscious and tried to slap the floor to ask the referee to stop the match, only to realize that there was no one else there.

It’s over.

Ruben Paterson thought to himself as he watched Li He prepare to deliver a follow-up punch.
