"Bell bell bell"

Philadelphia, 27 January 2008.

"Who's calling in the middle of the night......"

Chen Mu was asleep, and the time was three o'clock in the morning.

"Bell bell bell"

The phone kept ringing, Chen Mu regretted very much that he didn't adjust the phone to silent mode, mainly because Chen Mu, who came from the original timeline, had already been accustomed to the function of the new generation of mobile phones that could automatically enter the Do Not Disturb mode according to the time, and he had not adjusted it for the time being.

And Lao Mei is very reliable, that is, outside of working hours, she rarely makes work calls to others, and even many people will turn off their mobile phones directly after work, and no one can find it if they want to find it.

This is a deep-rooted concept in Lao Mei's heart, except for the eight-hour working day, the rest of the time is my own private time, and no one is allowed to disturb me.

This is true for employees as well as for bosses.

"Hmm...... Hey, whoever. ”

Chaosly took the mobile phone, clicked the call button, Chen Mu brought the earpiece to his ear, closed his eyes and said hello vaguely.

"Chen, Chen! Wake up, wake up! ”

On the other end of the line, it was Iguodala's voice.

This bastard doesn't sleep at three in the morning? It's not like Iguodala's style, isn't it?

Iguodala is a fitness freak and a gossip maniac, everyone knows this, but what everyone is not quite clear is that Iguodala, who was born on January 28 and whose constellation is Aquarius, does not have the feeling of jumping out of Aquarius in people's impressions, and his living habits are quite good, and he sleeps at the end of the day without delaying for a second.

Three o'clock in the morning, in Iguodala's words, belongs to the "critical time of muscle sleep", which is an important time to shape the body and improve muscle mass, and it is definitely time to sleep well. Available today. At three o'clock in the morning in Philadelphia, this fitness freak who had been following his own lifestyle and rest habits did not fall asleep, but called Chen Mu in the middle of the night.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Mu also came to his senses a little, and would let Iguodala call in the middle of the night, something terrible must have happened.

"Watch TV, quick!"

Watching TV?

Chen Mu was stunned when he heard this.

Iguodala lets herself watch TV at three in the morning?

Crazy!

Chen Mu shook his head with a wry smile, and said to the other end of the phone: "Big brother, do you know what time it is?" Is there any show that is so good, can you record it and show it to me tomorrow? Oh. No, it's showing me today, eh, it's not right......"

"Don't be poor!" Iguodala yelled angrily and said loudly, "Turn on the TV, Philadelphia Sports, quick!" ”

"Uh......"

Chen Mu got up helplessly, found the remote control from the bed and turned on the TV, without being reminded by Iguodala. The TV in Chen Mu's home is also located on the sports channel all year round, and as soon as it is turned on, the picture of the Philadelphia sports station is broadcast.

“…… Now we see that the police are trying to communicate with the people inside the house...... We heard the sound of an argument. This is...... Drop something, someone drop something in the house! ”

On the TV screen, a building was broadcast, and the nearby neighborhood was naturally pitch black. At three o'clock in the morning, everyone was asleep.

But around this building, a cordon was raised. On the roofs of several police cars, police lights flashed, several police officers were armed with batons, and some even had taken out pistols and were knocking on the door incessantly, shouting inside the house.

This house ...... It's a little familiar!

Chen Mu was stunned, opened his eyes and looked carefully, he was indeed a little familiar with this building, as if he had seen it somewhere.

However, in Philadelphia, a city that is not too big, Chen Mu has lived for two years, and even if he has not lived in most of the neighborhoods, he has passed by it to some extent, and it is not strange to see a familiar building.

But...... In Chen Mu's opinion, this building is not so simple as passing by.

This is......

"The door didn't open, and we saw that the police were already armed with pistols and ready to break into the house!"

In the far corner of the TV screen, a reporter is holding a microphone, staring directly at the building with his eyes, and constantly explaining the situation at the scene.

Or is it live, Philadelphia Sports Station, when will this kind of social case be broadcast live?

There is no need for the reporter to repeat the introduction, and it is not difficult to judge from this picture that there must be some case in this building, and the police need to be dispatched to settle the matter.

Americans pay great attention to privacy, except for public figures, such as players like Chen Mu today, or stars in the entertainment industry, other people's private lives, TV stations will never gossip. What is happening in this building now has attracted a live broadcast from the Philadelphia Sports Station, or at such a strange time as three o'clock in the morning, presumably the people in this building must be related to the Philadelphia sports circle.

“…… We hear crying, crying! It's a woman's cry! Eh...... The voice is...... It's like a slap in the face, it's so bad! ”

The female reporter who broadcast the live broadcast appeared indignant, obviously quite annoyed that someone in the house had done something to the woman, and her tone was a little excited, which in the strict sense violated the principle of fair and impartial reporting by the media.

"The police are banging on the door! Well done, if you don't want to get inside at this time, I'm afraid something terrible will happen! ”

As the reporter announced, the policeman in the picture began to bang on the door, and at the same time kept shouting.

The shouting sound was played through the microphone of the camera at the scene, and among these words, Chen Mu heard a lot of words that would have been heard in movies and TV series, such as "stop your violent behavior immediately", "we are the police, open the door immediately", etc., etc.

And among these formulaic words, there was a name that was mentioned repeatedly, and this name made Chen Mu wake up even more, and instantly understood why Iguodala called him at such a strange moment as three o'clock in the morning.

"Mr. Billikin, please open the door now!"

Billy King......?!!

Chen Mu woke up instantly, sat up straight from the bed, and his eyes were almost on the TV screen.

Yes, this building...... It's Billikin's home!

Last season, after the team miraculously reached the playoffs, Chen Mu and most of the players in the team were invited to Billkin's home as guests. Although Chen Mu and Billikin have never dealt with each other, or Billikin and most of the players in the team are not very good at dealing with each other, the team's entry into the playoffs is a kind of work affirmation and achievement for Billikin.

Especially when the national media and commentators have been on the decline, Philadelphia's ability to make the playoffs is a testament to Billy King's unique vision for selection.

Although the team's management and shareholders are well aware that the reason why the 76ers can play brilliantly depends on the explosiveness and intransigence of the players. But in the eyes of outsiders, the 76ers are a whole, and the team's good performance is naturally inseparable from the efforts of the team manager.

So when the 76ers broke into the playoffs, the national media praised Bilikin for his virtues. It is said that after the team sent Iverson away, Billy King did not let the 76ers become a completely bad team, but through his own shrewd transactions and methods, he kept the team competitive and brought everyone a wonderful season.

Whether or not this kind of compliment is needed, it is also a work affirmation, and as a team manager, Billikin would not be able to say anything if he did not reward the players and coaching staff.

At that time, Chen Mu, Iguodala, Cheeks and others all went to Billkin's house as guests and had an unpleasant dinner. For players and coaches, they don't like to listen to the words of the general manager, that is also the general manager, speaking of which is one of their bosses, people invite you to have a meal at home, can you not go?

“…… Bang! ”

Just when Chen Muyou didn't recall what happened last year, Billikin's door had been knocked open by the police. The noisy sound inside is quickly transmitted, and it makes people feel chills in their hearts when they listen to it.

“…… You stinky XX, you actually did such a thing behind my back, you ......"

"Mr. Kim, please stay calm!!"

Next, as the police entered the house with the camera, the camera shook, the picture was very messy, and vaguely Chen Mu seemed to see that Billikin, who was wearing home clothes, was violently assaulting a woman, who was kneeling on the ground and crawling while fleeing, screaming and crying.

The moment the picture flashed, Chen Mu even saw that there were obvious red marks on the woman's face, obviously injured by Billikin.

Subsequently, the police rushed up, took down the furious Billikin directly, and turned around to escort Billikin out of the building, reaching out to cover the camera lens, and the scene was even more chaotic.

With the female reporter shouting as if she had won a battle, the live broadcast of the assault in the early hours of the morning came to an end. The picture cut back to the studio, and the TV station was really hard enough, and at this time a few experts were found, and at this time, they were already sitting in the studio in suits and leather shoes, and began to analyze and answer the whole story of the matter under the host's questions, as well as the impact on the Philadelphia 76ers.

Seeing this, Chen Mu also probably understood what happened, it was about Billkin's wife, who was photographed by the paparazzi having a tryst with a young black man some time ago. After the news reached Billy King's ears, it eventually led to such a scene.

Although there has always been news that Billikin seems to have a certain tendency towards domestic violence, from the comprehensive preparation of the TV station, Chen Mu vaguely feels that the TV station that can start the live broadcast immediately after the police arrive, and even prepare the studio guests, is estimated to be inseparable from this farce.

Perhaps, it was the female reporter who heard the alarm at the beginning.

“…… Chen, do you see that? ”

On the other end of the phone, Iguodala's voice came, waking Chen Mu up from the shock caused by the incident.

"yes, I heard you." Chen Mu whispered to the phone: "Philadelphia, it's going to change." (To be continued......)
