?Chapter 779: Chapter 510 Why Does She Reward Me_3 Chapter 779: Chapter 510 Why Does She Reward Me_3 James asked, “In the way I’m good at?”
“Exactly,” Kobe said. “Don’t worry about Phil, just play the game the way you like it.”
So, passive resistance, aside from generating some negative press, had no real consequences that could hurt James personally.
This was the first time James needed to do something against the collective interest for his own benefit.
But the collective interest is also a piece of cake.
It’s like a seven-game series being seven pieces of cake, and in the first game, he chose to let the SuperSonics have it.
It was to ensure he could enjoy the rest more heartily.
As long as he made sure he was the one who ate the most, who cared about the process? History only remembers the results.
This was the first time James had done it, and he felt a bit of trivial guilt, but that feeling was quickly washed away by the excitement of regaining control.
In his heart, he had another faint feeling.
This wouldn’t be the last time he did this.
The SuperSonics were in the visitors’ training facility, preparing for tonight’s game.
Tyronn Lue was in a relaxed mood.
His team had won the first game without too much trouble.
As for that game, the Lakers were strong but not as formidable as he expected, and he truly believed they could advance to the finals within five games.
His heart was starting to soar.
If they could beat the Lakers, the championship would be within easy reach.
By then, he would be the coach renowned for leading his team to a three-peat.
Even if Karl recovered, he couldn’t shake Tyronn’s status.
Despite being overjoyed, Tyronn still appeared careful and cautious on the surface.
The old assistant coach, Tim Grgurich, asked, “Tyronn, relax, the Lakers are not that good, we can beat them.”
No, Tim,” Tyronn sighed insincerely. “I’m just thinking, if George were here, we’d be more confident.”
Karl was an old friend of Grgurich, and hearing Tyronn say this, Grgurich also felt some regret.
On the court, Durant was extremely excited.
He was like a fierce beast that had not found its prey and therefore could only bully his teammates for fun.
In this scrimmage, Yu Fei watched from the sidelines, as no one on the team could stop him.
The rookie forward, Alonzo Gee, was completely a punching bag in front of him.
Durant dropped 30 points on Gee’s head and then, with a kick, sent the basketball flying, telling Gee, “Zo, you better buy my shoes. Only in my shoes might you go further!”
Gee joked, “I’d rather wear Frye’s shoes.”
“You’re not good enough to wear Frye’s shoes,” Durant laughed.
“I’m not trying to get stronger,” Gee said fancifully. “I was wondering, if I wore Frye’s shoes, would those Hollywood girls like me too?”
The joyful expression disappeared from Durant’s face.
He, like everyone else, had seen TMZ’s reports, and the photos of Yu Fei entering the hotel with Scarlett.
TMZ stated they were together for half an hour.
That was enough time for anything to happen.
“Get lost, Zo. You should run more, your speed is too slow!” Durant said. “And stop dreaming; no matter what shoes you wear, no Hollywood woman will fancy you!”
Yu Fei was stretching in the distance.
He generally did not participate in pre-game scrimmages because his skill level would unbalance the game whichever side he joined, so the coaching staff hoped he would spend the scrimmage time doing something else.
Yu Fei would normally jog or shoot, but today he chose to stretch, because the game was in an hour, and if he was to get a feel for the ball, it would be at the Staples Center, not here wasting energy.
After finishing his stretching, he remained alone.
No one came to him because everyone had their own business, mainly gossiping. The rumor about Yu Fei and Scarlett was too explosive; everyone was inquiring about it, but they didn’t dare ask Yu Fei directly.
Except for Durant.
But when Durant approached Yu Fei, his question changed from “Did you have fun with Scarlett last night?” to “Is Scarlett coming to the game tonight?”
Yu Fei seriously replied, “She’ll be bringing foot-washing water.”
Durant, showing his true colors, said, “Why would she want to reward me?”
Two years later, the term “loser” would become a popular term on the Chinese internet, but two years earlier, on this day, a natural-born spokesperson for losers was standing in front of Yu Fei.
He was only joking, but Durant’s reaction made it hard for him to keep his comments to himself.
This guy was just too ridiculous!
PS: Today there are fewer updates. There’s been a dragon boat competition in my area recently, and my company is also participating. Although I didn’t sign up, I’m in charge of miscellaneous tasks. But you know, those who registered to compete only need to strive for a place, whereas we who do the odd jobs have to think about a lot more.
