Jordan: "I am not the god of basketball, Wade Dong is." James: "I will work hard to become the second person in the league." Curry, Irving, Thompson, etc.: "We seem to live in Wade Dong's shadow, and we have always been imitating his moves." There is a saying in the NBA: "If there is Dong, choose Dong; if there is no Dong, choose Jordan."

Chapter 120: One-on-One with Hill

The fan interaction segment was in progress.

Wade Dong had the green light from the organizers and directly entered the court wearing a helmet!

"Oh wow~~~"

The fans in the audience were amazed by the unique appearance of the newcomer.

The on-site DJ had already received instructions from Luo Qingyan. The next fan to challenge the players would be this mysterious helmeted figure.

"The next participant is a mysterious fan," the DJ announced. "Rumor has it he's from Beijing, nicknamed 'Helmet Knight,' and he's here specifically to challenge Nash and Hill."

Wade Dong, wearing the helmet, confidently stood in the center of the court. Nash and Hill found this "strange" person amusing, and even Old Jin was curious about how someone could play basketball wearing a helmet without it hurting their neck.

"I'll go!"

According to the order, it was Dudley's turn, so he stepped forward to face Wade Dong.

"Hmm? ??"

Wade Dong had no intention of playing against Dudley, as it wouldn't earn him any talent points and would just be a waste of energy!

"You're not good enough!"

Wade Dong directly pointed at Dudley and said, "Let Nash and Hill come instead."

This statement was in Chinese, but even if Dudley didn't hear it, the gesture and the mention of Nash and Hill made the meaning clear.

Dudley's face instantly turned red! How could a Chinese fan be so arrogant? He was an NBA player, after all, and being dismissed by a grassroots player was humiliating.

"Too arrogant!"

"The more you show off now, the more it will hurt when you get beaten!"

"But Helmet Knight is quite tall, almost two meters."

"Being tall doesn't mean you can play basketball."

"I think Helmet Knight is going to get destroyed!"

"No wonder he's wearing a helmet, probably afraid of getting hurt."

"Oh wow~~~"

Wade Dong's "You're not good enough" comment sent the crowd into a frenzy, with cheers erupting from all sides.

The on-site DJ quickly responded, "It seems this fan, nicknamed 'Helmet Knight,' has a clear target—Nash and Hill. I wonder if the two of you are willing to accept the challenge?"

"I'll do it~"

Hill stepped forward first.

After all, this was China, and it was their fan meet-and-greet. Hill didn't want to leave the fans disappointed, so he accepted the challenge.

As Dudley stepped aside, he said to Hill, "Teach this arrogant kid a lesson."

"Got it."

Hill patted Dudley's shoulder.

The on-site DJ handed the microphone to Wade Dong, "Helmet Knight, do you have the confidence to defeat Hill?"

"You're asking the wrong question," Wade Dong replied. "You should ask him if he has the confidence to defeat me."

"Too arrogant!"

"I can't stand it anymore! I want to go up there and beat up Helmet Knight!"

Wade Dong's words infuriated the fans. How could a grassroots player be so arrogant?

"Anyone can talk big," the DJ said. "But the truth will be revealed on the court."

This one-on-one segment was set for 11 points. The DJ signaled for Wade Dong to attack first, a privilege given to the fans. However, Wade Dong casually tossed the ball to Hill and said, "You go first."

"What an arrogant kid~"

Hill smiled, grabbed the ball with one hand, and prepared to attack.

Although he wasn't known for his one-on-one skills, Hill was once hailed as the "next Jordan" and had strong offensive abilities.

Wade Dong activated Hill's dribbling skill pack!

Wade Dong activated Hill's shooting skill pack!

Wade Dong first exchanged two of Hill's skill packs to understand his offensive style.

As for the consumed talent points, Wade Dong didn't mind—he would earn them back soon.

"This guy is not simple," Hill thought, noticing that the helmeted figure had a professional defensive stance, making it difficult for Hill to find a good attacking opportunity.

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

Hill dribbled the ball a couple of times and then attempted a quick jump shot.

However, Wade Dong was faster. As Hill shot, Wade Dong extended his hand and snatched the ball away.

"Damn! !!"

The crowd erupted in surprise!

Helmet Knight had effortlessly stolen the ball from Hill.

"Hmm? !"

Hill was stunned. He had been stripped of the ball by a grassroots player?

"My turn to attack," Wade Dong said with a smile, picking up the ball.

However, Hill's eyes narrowed. This voice... it sounded familiar! Damn... it couldn't be Wade Dong, could it?

But Wade Dong didn't give Hill a chance to ponder. He quickly dribbled past Hill with a spin move and drove to the basket.

Hill tried to catch up on defense.

Wade Dong twisted his body as he went up for the layup, flicking his wrist to send the ball into the hoop.

2:0!!!

This layup was incredibly smooth!

"Wow~~~"

Some fans couldn't contain their excitement and wanted to rush onto the court. When had China produced such a talented grassroots player who could score so effortlessly against Hill's defense?

"Next up!"

Wade Dong held up three fingers, "I'll end this one-on-one with three three-pointers!"

After hearing this, Hill was certain that Helmet Knight was Wade Dong! No one else in China was this strong and loved to show off.

"I won't let you score so easily again!"

Even though he knew Helmet Knight's identity, Hill wasn't going to give up without a fight!

Even if it was Wade Dong...

Hill stuck close to Wade Dong on defense. The fans held their breath, sensing that Hill was taking this seriously.

"Slap!"

Wade Dong faked a three-point shot, then dribbled past Hill from the side. But Wade Dong's right foot was just a feint, and he quickly stepped back to the three-point line.

"Swish! !!"

A quick three-pointer went straight through the net.

5:0!!!

The crowd went wild, but it wasn't over yet. Wade Dong followed up with two more clean three-pointers.

11:0!

Wade Dong won the one-on-one against Hill.

[Talent Point +1...]

NBA players coming to China often played one-on-one with fans, but this was the first time a player had lost to a fan while playing seriously.

The fans were so excited they wanted to rush onto the court, but they were held back.

"I've figured you out!"

Hill suddenly said to Wade Dong, "You're really something else..."

After saying that, Hill walked off the court, looking a bit annoyed. Nash quietly asked, "That's Wade Dong, right?"

"Who else could it be?"

Hill was a bit upset, "I've never seen someone so bored..."

"Hahaha..."

Nash laughed, "So, do I still need to go on the court?"

"There he is!"

Hill pointed at Wade Dong, "He's waiting for you. You can't back down now, can you?"
