You have one last chance!\" Lu Yang looked at Bogu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Bogu could no longer speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had chances to speak before, but his arrogance made him want to defeat Lu Yang before mocking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he no longer has the opportunity now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight to zero!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Lu Yang scores another three-pointer, this personal vendetta will be over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then...

If you can win, I’ll also agree to kneel before every home game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, if you dare desecrate Sofia again, I’ll make sure you can never perform such obscene actions again. Remember, I, Lu Yang, said this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two figures walked into the players’ tunnel, gradually fading away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the Lakers players on the court and the tens of thousands of fans present wake up as if from a dream, sending a rousing applause to see off Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And began rhythmically chanting at Bogu: \"Kneel! Kneel! Kneel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bogu’s face was ashen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His NBA career, which had just reached its high point, was destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would forever be the disgrace to the Grizzlies, maybe even the NBA!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would also be watched by fans and media worldwide, obligated to kneel before home games!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he didn’t even know that even if he could find a bunch of incredibly skilled soccer-playing basketball players to beat Lu Yang, Lu Yang wouldn’t be worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because years later, a pre-game kneeling movement against racial discrimination would rise on soccer fields to oppose discrimination against Black people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Brother Lu would kneel only for a noble cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he doesn’t kneel, it’s because he won!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely different from Bogu!\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-06T13:45:22.578Z",1,"novelbin.me","aa0dd0a738a7362dde187618db4697576a43c981f7182522a92ab9fa7159fdb0","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-618","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-616",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
