Usually, Jackson would have the assistant coach, who was acting as the referee, blow a compensatory whistle in James’ favor, but today, a vigilant Kobe did not want the scrimmage to be disrupted.
James was playing the role of Yu Fei in the scrimmage, a major responsibility, but what was he doing now?
“Shut up, LeBron!” Kobe said, “That was a foul, play on to the next ball!”
The storm passed, and everyone resumed their normal training.
That evening
Staples Center
Los Angeles tabloids once joked that the importance of a Lakers game could be gauged by the celebrity quotient at courtside.
Tonight, it was merely the first game of the Western Conference Finals, but the presence of stars from other sports industries was significant.
Such as Tiger Woods, who was dealing with sex addiction, and Michael Phelps.
The representation from Hollywood was even more substantial, especially actors associated with Marvel.
The Empire Battle was a rare major sporting event in recent years, and many wanted to ride on its popularity; nominally, they were here for Yu Fei.
Then there were the regular faces at the Lakers’ home court.
When Yu Fei and his teammates entered, the venue erupted with intense booing.
Snoop Dogg, who had spat with Fei several times at games, stood up and cursed, “You’re done this time, my N-words are not the same as before, we’ll explode you this time, you got that, N-word~~!”
Yu Fei ignored him.
Yu Fei initially intended to greet Kobe and the others first, but upon seeing Robert Downey Jr. and others, he went straight to them.
Next to Downey was Scarlett Johansson, whose public image was now synonymous with the Black Widow she’d play in the upcoming “Iron Man 2” this summer; with her beauty and figure at their peak, she deserved the epithet of having the face of an angel and the body of a devil. Well, except for her height…
Recently, Scarlett was separating from her husband, Ryan Reynolds, leading to tabloid speculation about Yu Fei’s involvement.
Yu Fei always ignored such nasty tabloid gossip; lately, he had been very restrained. Not only Scarlett, but he also hadn’t been close to many women.
However, coming so close to a fully-glorified Scarlett posed a challenge to any man.
Luckily, Yu Fei was accustomed to it.
“How are things with Ryan?” Yu Fei casually asked.
Scarlett was known as a goddess, and interestingly, she knew she was a goddess, so she had a goddess’s pride. When she heard Yu Fei bringing up an awkward topic, she retorted, “Thanks to your blessing, very good.”
At that moment, Durant was almost suffocating behind Yu Fei.
In the black community, there are two kinds of beauty standards. Some follow the mainstream standards of appearance, but a significant fraction of blacks, just like Jews, reject women of other skin colors. Take James for example, lacking security since childhood, he is extremely wary of white people, let alone connecting with a white woman; that’s unimaginable for him. Durant, however, grew up in the suburbs of D.C., surrounded by middle-class whites.
His aesthetic sense was alienated from a young age, just like O.J. Simpson’s, who had no aversion to white people whatsoever.
And Scarlett before him was the most beautiful woman he thought he could ever meet.
He had intended to follow Yu Fei to greet James and others, but unexpectedly, Yu Fei led him right before the world’s most beautiful woman.
In this situation, he was cautious even in his breathing, while Yu Fei was seemingly flirting with her.
In the midst of their conversation, Yu Fei introduced Durant, “This is KD, you should all know him.”
“I’ve seen Kevin play,” Downey took up the conversation, “I’ve also heard people saying that Kevin is more likely to become Frye than Frye is to become himself.”
This seemingly natural wit struck a chord with Yu Fei.
He laughed out loud.
“Very… nice to meet you,” Durant found his cue in Downey’s joke, “I hope you have a good time here.”
Downey laughed, “That will only happen if you guys win.”
Scarlett smiled, her lips as red as roses, leaving Durant swallowing hard, “Don’t become Frye, he’s not a good man.”
Durant reflexively responded, “I’ll take your word for it.”
Seeing the infatuated look on Durant’s face, Scarlett laughed. She was used to such reactions.
Yu Fei pulled Durant away before he could embarrass himself further.
“Haven’t you ever seen a woman before?” Yu Fei lightly patted Durant’s face, “Snap out of it!”
Remembering his conversation with Scarlett, Durant felt an inexplicable glee.
She talked to me, she smiled at me, she told me not to become Frye, she doesn’t like Frye…
She might be married, but she’s separating from her husband.
Do I stand a chance?
“I’ve never seen a woman like her,” Durant said, and then he blurted out the comment that almost threw Yu Fei off balance, “She’s so beautiful, I would drink her bathwater.”
Yu Fei scoffed, “Dare you to tweet that.”
Durant cheerful said, “I will.”
He had gone crazy.
Afterwards, they met up with Kobe and James at center court.
Kobe issued his perfunctory threat, while James didn’t even bother to give Yu Fei a genuine look.
Durant was still reminiscing about Scarlett.
Yu Fei realized he and Kobe might be the only sane ones around here.
