0201: [Champagne tastes a little strange]
"Magical!! The Chinese kid won four doubles, and Iverson slashed 58 points and was still powerless! ”
"Crazy! With a self-throwing and self-dunking kill, a lethal block and four doubles, Snoopy completes the night of miracles! ”
"The greatest regular-season show in Miami Heat history, Snoopy has become a myth!"
"The youngest Mr. Triple-Double ever? No, it's four pairs now!! ”
"The time for Iverson is over, now let's shout hooray to Snoopy!!"
"Dwyane Wade's injury will make a huge difference for Miami, and maybe by the time he returns from injury, Miami will be in the top three in the East!"
“……”
Dugg sat on the couch and looked through the newspapers of three days ago, whether it was world-class media such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, or local newspapers in Miami, they gave themselves the best of praise. In fact, the alliance officials also vigorously publicized this matter on the same day, and it was even more boiling in distant Asia.
In China, he is even called a national hero.
Getting such glorious data in the highest hall of basketball is a matter of raising eyebrows for both Asians and Chinese.
This kind of guidance of public opinion makes Lin Weiwei extremely excited, and she has to make five phone calls to Duge almost every day to report good news in business.
Dugg is indifferent to this, and he wants to solve it more now than a few zeros in his bank account, but to make his shooting percentage look a little better.
The day after dinner, Pat Riley identified the core of Dug's team in an internal meeting, giving him absolute control.
However, in his first game as the heart of the team, he played very poorly. Under the tight defensive line of the Boston Celtics, he took 11 shots and hit just one ball. His lack of support on the offensive end has led to a weakness in his tackled assists. In the end, the Boston Celtics took the victory with a 112-80 slaughter at the American Airlines Center Arena.
"Would you like a cup of black tea?"
Selena Gomez's voice sounded from behind her: "This is Miley brought back from England. ”
"No thanks."
Dugg smiled slightly, he stood up, ready to head out to the arena, where the Heat will host the New Orleans Hornets tonight.
"I'll probably stay at your house for three more days." Selena smiled and said, "In return, I will make you the most delicious food...... I'm definitely more proficient in cooking than Miley Sellers. ”
"yes, okay."
Dugg nodded, then walked out with his basketball bag in hand.
Selena moved into Snoopy's house at the same time as Miley Sellers, but when Miley Sellers left, she still lived there and had no intention of moving out.
Of course, Duge will not take the initiative to drive her away. Although he felt that it was a little uncomfortable for a lonely man and a widow to be in the same room.
But Selena is a nice person, she has a good sense of humor and is good at telling bad jokes. This allows Dugg to always get some hearty laughter after a busy day: he needs laughter so badly lately. Not only is he experiencing problems in his career, but he is also at a fork in the road emotionally.
Therefore, it is not a good thing to have someone to accompany you.
"By the way, when will you invite me to a game?" Selena's voice chased after her.
"If you have time, you can do it tonight." Dugg replied with a smile.
"Tonight? Not tonight, I'm going to shoot a new album cover. Selena replied, "Tomorrow night." ”
"Okay, tomorrow night happens to be the Chinese Derby."
Dugg waved at her and drove his pickup truck toward the American Airlines Center.
"Hey, Snoopy. Did you watch Carmelo Anthony's interview today? Michael Beasley saw Dugg in the locker room and immediately showed off the newspaper in his hand to him: "The Nuggets have confessed to the bitch." I've said a long time ago that you have to use your fists to let them know when dealing with that kind of crumb...... In a word, there is danger to those who provoke us. ”
Dugg reached for the newspaper and Carmelo Anthony made it clear of the 'fabled dressing room clash': "We did have some unpleasant things after the game, but it didn't matter. We are all men, and men are always used to solving problems in a man's way. Snoopy has earned our respect both on and off the court, and the next time he comes to Denver or we go to Miami, we'll be willing to have a drink with him before or after a game. ”
"You know, none of us are people without grace, we appreciate the strong!"
Carmelo Anthony said in the report that there is an agreement within the Nuggets. Things about the locker room are never mentioned publicly, and at the same time, they show respect for Snoopy.
He even said eleven Respects in a row!
Dugg raised an eyebrow, and he handed the newspaper to Beasley.
For this matter, Dugg has already turned the page in his heart. "Man, the most important thing we have right now is to defeat the New Orleans Hornets led by Chris Paul."
Beasley said nonchalantly, "Just give me the basketball?" ”
This eye-catcher always sees things too simply, and his so-called way to win is always ...... If 20 shots don't kill the opponent, I'll shoot 40 times.
So, in the game of the night. He made 27 successful baskets. But under James Posey's defense, he only scored 19 points.
This efficiency led to a sudden decline in the third quarter, and the Heat, who had always maintained the lead, were outscored by the Hornets by 17 points in a single quarter.
In the end, Chris Paul led the team to an easy 109-99 victory with 22 points and 13 assists.
Dugg had a quasi-triple-double of 8 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks in this game, and was the only player with positive efficiency for the Heat.
But after the game, Pat Riley found him alone: "Snoopy. I'm not happy with your performance tonight. You should shoot more instead of handing the basketball to Michael Beasley to single-handedly pick up the entire defense, you know? ”
"You are the heart of who we are. Now that Dwyanne is lying in a hospital bed, we need you to stand up and take it all on. ”
"You have to carry the team."
"I hope the team will still be in the top six in the East by All-Star Weekend."
Pat Riley's rhetoric was very serious.
This puts even more pressure on Duge.
When he returned home. Spoelstra asked Pat Riley, "Are we being too him?" ”
"I don't think so. That's how real stars are made. Pat Riley said earnestly.
……
Back at home, Selena Gomez has ready for supper.
Her steak did taste better than Miley Cyrus's, and she bought a bottle of champagne that went well with the steak. This relieves some pressure on Dugg's taste buds.
Selena was very empathetic, as if she knew that Dugg was in a bad mood: "I watched your game at home. Your two blocks are fantastic. The No. 3 layup is grabbed straight from the rebound by you. And that guy named Tyson, who was even lifted to the ground by you from the air. ”
Seeing that Du Ge just smiled and didn't speak, Selena continued: "The trailer on TV said that you will face off against Yao Shu tomorrow night? That's the NBA's No. 1 giant! ”
"Hmm." Dugg nodded, and then said, "I've already booked your ticket for you, just call Tom tomorrow, and he will personally take you in." ”
"That's great." Selena nodded.
Her eyes were fixed on Snoopy.
"Do you think this champagne tastes a little weird?"
She asked suddenly.
Duge drank the champagne from his glass, shook his head, and replied, "Not really!" ”
Then, three minutes later...... Poof!
Duge's heavy head landed on the dining table with a loud noise.
