Chapter 26 Du Chen
On Monday evening, November 5th, the NBA officially announced the first Player of the Week for the new season.
东部第一周最佳球员是奥兰多魔术德怀特·霍华德，场均20.7分14.2篮板2.1盖帽，带领球队取得3胜0负的开局。
LeBron James, a candidate for the nomination, averaged 30 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game, which were better stats. However, the Cavaliers had a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, and were even more disqualified from the nomination due to a 34-point blowout by the SuperSonics.
Kevin Durant is undoubtedly the Western Conference Rookie of the Week. He averaged 46 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9 assists, 5.3 blocks, and 2 steals per game, including two triple-doubles and one near quadruple-double, leading his team to a perfect 3-0 record. He deserves the title of the greatest debut week in history!
候选提名的有蒂姆·邓肯，场均18.8分9.2篮板3.4助攻1.4抢断1.3盖帽，马刺3胜0负。科比·布莱恩特，场均28.3分6.3篮板5.4助攻，湖人同样3胜0负。
That night, after a resounding victory over the Clippers, reporters told Kevin Durant the latest news of his Rookie of the Year award: "Kevin, this first-week regular season player award ties the record set by Shaquille O'Neal in 92. Do you have anything to say to everyone?"
"Perfect! But this is just the beginning." Durant looked up and down, mimicking Trump's tone and inexplicable confidence. He raised his hands to his chest, his long fingers making an OK sign, as if untying a Christmas gift box: "I will continue to work hard to become the greatest player in the league. I have the talent, I have the potential, you know that."
The reporters in the audience were dumbfounded. Had this rookie gone mad? He'd only played a few games, yet he was talking so arrogantly!
A Los Angeles Times reporter immediately retorted: "There are many talented players, Kevin. What makes you so confident that you're the greatest player in the league? That debut?"
"My debut was just the result; you have no idea how hard I worked!" Durant retorted earnestly. "Let me put it this way, have you ever seen Seattle at four in the morning?"
The reporters in the audience were speechless. How could someone boast like that?! Look at your shamelessness!
......
On the evening of November 7th, Du Xiaoshuai took two hours off from training and drove Wanda's mother to the airport.
When they parted, Du's lips curled up so wide it was hard to suppress.
On the drive back, Du Xiaoshuai felt as if the sky was the limit and birds could fly freely!
So the car turned around and drove into Seattle's hottest bar...
If you were poor and powerless in your past life and had to work like a slave, why can't you enjoy life now that you've made a lot of money?
Around 9 a.m., The Crocodile Cafe bar in downtown Seattle was getting busier. Du Xiaoshuai’s tall stature made people forget his actual age, and he entered without any hindrance.
In fact, while there are many restrictions on drinking in Europe and America, enforcement is not strict. The poor and lower classes can't afford alcohol, and the police are too lazy to care if minors drink once or twice. As for the wealthy, the authorities don't investigate unless the public complains, and as long as they don't make the news, they're fine, since the police are paid.
Unfortunately, aside from pure Asians, other races are prone to alcoholism, and alcoholism easily leads to loss of control, resulting in disorderly conduct. This is especially true for white people who drink frequently at a young age; they are highly likely to become alcoholics later in life. This is why alcohol control was initially stricter than drug control in some countries.
The dim lighting in the bar served as a camouflage for Du Xiaoshuai, and no one noticed his identity. He ordered a large Margarita at the bar, swayed to the rhythm of the music on stage, and followed the waiter to a booth.
On stage, several white jazz singers were playing saxophones and trombones with great effort, and the majority of the audience was also white.
Seattle does have a high percentage of white people.
It was still early, and the atmosphere at the venue hadn't reached its peak yet. Du Xiaoshuai took a couple of sips and noticed a tall, blue-eyed, blonde beauty lazily drinking alone in a booth not far away.
Western European aesthetics include a long face and wide jaw, exquisite makeup, fair but slightly rough skin, and a slender figure.
Du Xiaoshuai picked up his wine glass with feigned elegance and moved closer to the next booth.
Quietly activate the [Praise Card], [Romantic Encounter Card], [Friendship Card], and [Lust at First Sight Card] on the panel...
After stacking up a bunch of buffs, Du Xiaoshuai confidently walked up to the woman, a slovenly smile on his face, and struck up a conversation: "Hey beautiful, you're here too."
"Do we know each other?" The beautiful woman turned around and looked Du Xiaoshuai up and down, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Snake," Du Xiaoshuai said with the inexplicable confidence of a street urchin. "I want to talk to you because you're very pretty."
"Beautiful? Many people say that, and then what?" The beautiful woman looked at Du Xiaoshuai with amusement.
Could it be that the fan card is useless?
Du Xiaoshuai, feeling a bit insecure, gritted his teeth and asked directly, "—Right?"
"uh-huh!"
......
At the bar, the two hit it off and chatted happily, discussing everything from music and movies to food and women's intimate care...
Du Xiaoshuai's knowledge of short videos from his past life proved invaluable. He occasionally cracked a dirty joke to bridge the gap in their ambiguous relationship. Fueled by alcohol and the boisterous atmosphere, the two quickly embraced, their faces pressed together, unable to even find their lips...
In a corner of the bar, a bohemian young man wearing a beret quietly took out his camera from his waist, aimed it at Du Xiaoshuai, zoomed in, and, taking advantage of the flashing neon lights, pressed the snap button...
The next day, the sun was high in the sky.
Du Xiaoshuai pulled up his pants, patted the blonde woman who was still convulsing on the bed, and turned to leave, as if he had made up his mind!
There's a match tonight!
They didn't talk much, and Du Xiaoshuai only knew that his new friend was named Doutzen Kroos, an actress and model who had recently come to the United States to shoot the cover of VOGUE fashion magazine. She happened to run into Du Xiaoshuai last night when she went out for a walk.
The other party said that she already had a boyfriend. Although the two exchanged phone numbers, she reminded Du Xiaoshuai not to contact her too often.
Since it wasn't his own car, Du Xiaoshuai naturally got up and started driving. He drove his Land Rover for another 3,000 kilometers that morning, breaking the horn, deforming the headlights, and bruising the bumper until it was red-hot. The engine oil kept spraying out and drying out again – driving violently the whole time.
一个夜日，消耗了【白色级受力过敏卡*2】、【白色级情绪过敏卡*1】【白色级受力过敏卡*1】【白色级树皮卡*1】【白色级小气球卡*3】【白色级夜视卡*1】【白色级精力卡*1】【白色级香氛卡*1】【白色级大卡*1】【白色级防御卡*1】......
In short, the losses were enormous!
Satisfied, Du Xiaoshuai drove his beloved Volvo through Seattle at noon and went straight to the stadium, where he had a free, unlimited buffet and took a nap.
Tonight, the SuperSonics will host the Orlando Magic.
The Magic had previously won all four of their games. After acquiring stretch power forward Rashard Lewis, the Magic freed up space under the basket for Dwight Howard and increased their outside firepower, vaguely exploring the rudiments of a "one star, four shooters" strategy.
The fourth-year player, Dwight Howard, had just proven his worth and had signed a long-term, maximum-salary contract with the team this year. He was in the carefree days of youth, oblivious to internal conflicts and focused solely on having fun.
During warm-up, Spark greeted Du Xiaoshuai with a cheerful and healing smile.
Du Xiaoshuai nodded politely and then began to focus on practicing his shooting.
He had been playing around with the ball for too long last night, and he was worried that his touch hadn't returned to normal.
"Duang" "Duang" "Duang"...
As expected, they missed the first three goals!
I've become so haggard from the torment of alcohol and women. From this day forward, I will abstain from alcohol!
Just then, Coach Huo walked over with a silly grin and said enthusiastically, "Bro, why are you standing so far away to shoot?"
? ?
"You can also go to the basket, like this... like this... and then like that—"
? ?
No—you're teaching me how to shoot?
Du Xiaoshuai stared in disbelief at Dwight Howard, who was gesturing with the ball in front of him, speechless.
Standing outside the three-point line, Du Xiaoshuai gripped the ball with one hand, his five fingers firmly holding the basketball like pliers. He slowly raised it to shoulder level, and with one arm raised as if prying a lever, he casually tossed the ball toward the basket.
"Whoosh."
The basketball went in.
"Well--"
Howard was caught off guard by Durant and didn't know whether he should continue to coach him, which was a bit awkward!
SuperSonics starting lineup: PG Billups, SG Jeff Green, SF Durant, PF Thomas, C Collins.
Magic starting lineup: PG Jameer Nelson, SG Keith Bogans, SF Hedo Turkoglu, PF Rashard Lewis, C Dwight Howard.
The competition began at 7:30 PM.
Young Howard easily reached the basketball and flicked it towards Hedo Turkoglu, giving the Magic possession.
The SuperSonics quickly retreated on defense, with Dwight Howard establishing position deep under the basket. Jameer Nelson dribbled the ball, waiting for his teammates to get into position before passing it to Hedo Turkoglu. Turkoglu used a screen to avoid Durant's cover and then passed the ball hand-off to Howard in the paint.
Howard, facing Collins, awkwardly dribbled the ball with both hands, braced his elbow with one hand, and stiffly hooked the ball up for a layup with the other.
The basketball hit the rim like a shot put, flying vertically into the air. A dozen or so players on the court looked up and watched the basketball fly into the air and then fall back down. The restricted area was crowded with people.
The audience on the sidelines found it somewhat comical and burst into laughter.
SuperSonics commentator Kevin Calabre quipped, "I bet the jump ball is Dwight's strongest point, so he changed his shooting method. If he misses, they jump again... That's fair!"
As expected, Howard won the rebound in the second jump ball.
Dwight Howard, having gotten the basketball, attacked the basket again, the ball traversing the rim in a spectacular fashion...
Before Collins could grab the ball, he poked it into the air, and Dwight Howard used his explosive athleticism and quick leaping ability to grab the rebound again.
Kurt Thomas closed in to try and steal the ball, but Howard, holding the basketball, spun around with his elbows and jumped up for another layup.
Collins poked the basketball, which hit the backboard, fell to the side of the rim, and slid to the outside again.
As a result, Dwight Howard under the basket had an amazing jumping speed and managed to jump up again to grab the rebound.
The Happy Beast, who had grabbed 3 offensive rebounds, was ready to make a layup—the first shot of the game had to be taken by the team's leader, and if he missed, he would keep trying!
Du Xiaoshuai couldn't stand it anymore, so he rushed to the basket and unexpectedly swatted the basketball away from Howard's hands with his long arms and big hands.
After grabbing the basketball, Du Xiaoshuai dribbled and started his run. Green and Billups on the perimeter sprinted towards the frontcourt. Du Xiaoshuai delivered a quarterback-style long pass, leading Jeff Green to the three-point line, where he picked up the rebounding ball and slammed it down with both hands.
"Wow—" A cheer erupted from the sidelines.
2:0.
Warcraft stretched out his hands and complained to the referee not far away about being hit, but the referee ignored him, leaving him embarrassed.
"Bro, you did hit my hand just now, you should know that best," Howard said, approaching Durant to defend himself.
"Who's your bro?" Du Xiaoshuai ignored him.
This guy is driven by lust, and judging from his later columns criticizing LeBron James, he's easily willing to do anything for money and clicks.
The key issue is that this guy's financial management skills are terrible, and with so many illegitimate children, no amount of money is ever enough.
Besides enjoying saving the souls of fallen women, Happy Beast also likes to spray himself with heavy perfume.
Howard was calling for the ball from Durant in the mid-range, and the smell of perfume, sweat, and body odor wafted over him.
He then gave Warcraft a [Smell Removal Card], and Du Xiaoshuai received the anti-fireworks card.
The ball circled around the perimeter and was hit by Rashard Lewis from beyond the three-point line.
2:3.
In the next possession, the SuperSonics launched an attack. Du Xiaoshuai dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, made two quick moves, and fired a high shot over Lewis's defense, finding the net.
5:3.
Newly appointed Magic coach Stan Van Gundy was seen shouting "Defense!" from the sidelines, looking very excited.
On the next play, the Magic continued to have Howard anchor the paint, while the four stars spread out on the perimeter, with Hideo orchestrating the entire offensive possession.
Du Xiaoshuai led the defense against Xidu, his long arms covering most of the opponent's passing lanes, and almost prevented him from committing a five-second violation when he stopped the ball.
The ball was barely passed to Howard, who had been brought out, and the guy started showing off his clumsy offense under the basket again.
A poorly executed low hook shot hit the bottom of the rim, bounced off his head, and flew out of bounds, almost resulting in a foul.
Thomas caught the ball before it hit the ground and passed it to Billups. Durant, with his strong offensive and defensive awareness, had already started running up the field.
Billups also threw out a quarterback long pass, Du Xiaoshuai caught the ball while moving, took three steps to the layup and stepped onto the free throw line twice, then pushed off with one leg, took a step in the air, and hung into the basket like a long-armed excavator.
"boom!--"
"Oh my god!—"
"A dunk from the free-throw line in a real game!"
The entire venue erupted in cheers!
7:3.
Less than two minutes into the game, Magic coach Van Gundy called a timeout.
