Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 283 Professional Cupid vs. Lifelong Enemy!
Soon, Lana came to his room.

Lana was very reserved, but her face was flushed with excitement.

She was still wearing the white T-shirt she had worn when watching the game that had turned yellow after washing. However, because the weather turned cold at night, she put on a wrinkled blue flannel plaid shirt. It should be quite comfortable to wear. But it’s most likely from the men’s section of Uniqlo.

After all, she is studying philosophy, so consumerism has no chance of cutting her leeks.

This female singer is indeed an anomaly. Although her annual income is over 6 million, she wears crystal sandals worth more than 2020 yuan for four or five years. The screen of her iPhone [-]s is broken, but it does not prevent her from using it until [-]. Later she even went to deliver food. …

"If you don't mind, we can have a drink first."

Wu Di took out a bottle of JW Blue Label whiskey from the hotel's Mini Bar and said.

He didn't want to force him to drink, but Lana said in her Vlog that she couldn't speak well without drinking.

Lana nodded, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a few sips directly into the mouth of the bottle before smiling:

"Hehe, thank you! In fact, I had a few drinks on the way here, but I am still a little nervous to see you..."

This time Wu Di smiled a little cautiously. He admitted that the combination of Lana's tomboyish behavior and her pretty girl appearance was quite impactful.

Lana walked over to the lounge chair by the window and sat down. She stretched out her index and middle fingers to make a smoking gesture and asked:

"Is this acceptable?"

Wu Di sat on the square stool and nodded, but Lana rummaged around for a long time, only to find that she had left the dick in the car and hadn't brought it with her.

Wu Di asked her to calm down, rummaged through the suitcase and took out the cigar bag that came with him and handed it to her.

"call!"

Finally, Lana had a drink in one hand and a cigar in the other, and her restless soul instantly calmed down.

"You are handsome and caring. If I want to find someone to marry, it will be someone like you!"

Lana's words were even better than her singing. After speaking, her eyes moved, she handed over the bottle and said:
"Wait a minute, take a few sips and let me see how much you drink!"

Wu Di took the wine dumbfounded, with Lana's lip gloss still stained on the mouth of the bottle.

"Oh, you don't seem to be 21 yet! But don't worry about this. This law is really lax in the United States. I started drinking when I was a child, and they have never caught me once..."

Lana said, and Wu Di took a few sips. Against the spicy peat flavor of the whiskey, the strawberry flavor of Lana's lip gloss stood out.

But JW’s whiskey was really unpalatable unless it was mixed with a cigar, so he took the cigar from Lana’s hand and took a sip:
"It's not a matter of illegality, it's just...didn't you say you were a social fear? Do you call this social fear?"

Only then did Lana realize how unrestrained she had just been, and she burst into laughter. After laughing, she puffed on her cigar and said:

"I'm INTJ, did you know? It's a type of type 16 personality..."

After seeing Wu Di nodding, she said again:
"People with INTJ personality are afraid of society in 12 months out of 11 months, but in the remaining 1 month they will feel that they have to be social for a while, otherwise they will be out of touch with the world. At this time, they are Sheniu..."

"Now is my social cow period, so I gave you the DVD. I didn't expect you to watch it and call me after watching it!"

"It seems I really have the potential for fire!"

Wu Di grinned:

"You're going to be a big hit!"

Lana smiled happily, but after laughing, she jumped directly into Wu Di's arms and kissed her. Now Wu Di had enough of the strawberry-flavored lip gloss.

After Lana finished the kiss, she looked straight at him from bottom to top, pointed out the window without turning her head and said:
"If you become popular, you will attract a group of psychopaths. I don't believe you haven't been afraid..."

Wu Di picked her up like a koala and put her on the bed, jokingly saying:
"Maybe I should be afraid, but not now..."

(1 words omitted here)

After a night of in-depth communication, the next day, Wu Di came to an indoor basketball court to participate in Cavaliers training.

However, because of the need to control Wu Di's foot injury, the Cavaliers team doctor did not allow Wu Di to participate.

Irving is already injured, and the Cavaliers can no longer bear any risk of Wu Di being injured.

However, Wu Di still insisted on attending, mainly to accompany him, and at the same time helped the team accept some interviews from the media to maintain relations with the media.

At noon, the diagnosis of Irving's injury came out.

The injury is not serious, it's a grade two sprain, no bones are broken, and I'll need to rest for about two weeks.

According to the current progress, he is expected to return around G4 of the finals.

But fortunately, the Cavaliers are not bad at this position. Thomas, Beverley, and Davis can all temporarily fill the role.

It's just that the personal characteristics of these players are too distinct and are not as balanced as Irving. The team needs to adjust the rhythm and adapt.

It was mid-afternoon training again, and Scott ended the training camp. Tomorrow will be G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and he must maintain a certain level of physical fitness.

Although the training camp is over, it does not mean that the players can move freely.

Most of the players have to stay and analyze their game tapes with the assistant coaches.

This process is boring, but as long as you want to polish your skills and make targeted improvements, it is an indispensable process, and you have to watch G4 of the Western Conference Finals together at night.

After all, they are all professional players with an annual salary of millions and tens of millions of dollars, and there is an extremely important game coming next. Scott doesn't need to ask for more, and the players consciously stay.

But Wu Di is obviously not among them.

The team has only one requirement for him, and that is to maintain his touch. On this basis, it is best to stay away.

Because it affects other people’s concentration too much.

When everyone is racking their brains to analyze their own shortcomings and want to improve, there is a person next to them who is the strongest while wandering around and falling in love. It is difficult for anyone to maintain a psychological balance...

Wu Di was also speechless. Look, he doesn't even want to be a prostitute!

He had no choice but to call out Lana, who had just gotten up, and took her to have a meal at the "Alchemist" restaurant, which had a relatively good reputation at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

The American University campus is basically open, with no gates, no fences, and rarely even security guards. The cafeteria is also open to the public, which is equivalent to a community park. The campus card is limited to laboratories, libraries, Dormitory facilities.

This is true even for MIT and Harvard.

It is now early June, the end of the spring semester in the United States, and it is also the time for final exams.

The university campus was crowded with people, but a few students still recognized Wu Di and said hello to him, but they were limited to saying hello, and there were no fans outside like taking photos or asking for autographs.After all, this is MIT, and those who study here are the proud ones.

This kind of environment made Wu Di feel very comfortable, but he brought Lana here not to visit the MIT campus, but because he had other things to do.

They came to a building numbered NE25. MIT is very obsessed with numbers, and even each building is referred to by a numerical number. This building NE25 is the Institute of Acoustics of BOSE.

As a brand spokesperson and a small shareholder holding 1% of the shares, he was invited to participate in the BOSE new product seminar.

Dr. Bose, the founder of BOSE, is an MIT alumnus. BOSE has not been listed and has been operated privately. Not long after signing an endorsement contract with Wu Di last year, Dr. Bose had a premonition that his time was running out, so he directly donated all his shares to MIT.

So now BOSE’s equity is 99% owned by MIT and 1% owned by Wu Di. From this aspect, Wu Di and MIT are still partners.

BOSE's Acoustic Research Institute has some cutting-edge sound field black technologies. Under such an environment, Wu Di allowed Lana to experience the feeling of holding a concert in advance, which was also very interesting.

The new product seminar is a revolutionary active noise reduction headset, wireless headset QC25.

Active noise reduction technology has always existed, and BOSE is the leader in this technology.

But it wasn't until BOSE set up a noise reduction/transmission switch that allowed consumers to intuitively feel the actual effect of active noise reduction while wearing headphones that active noise reduction headphones became completely popular.

However, at this time when wired headphones account for 99% of the market share, this headset is too advanced in terms of design and technology.

Therefore, the R&D personnel are not very confident, so they want to hear Wu Di's opinion.

"Our time is limited, don't waste it repeating others, don't let market share drown out our good ideas..."

Wu Di said calmly, "Isn't it just to persuade them to stick to it? This job is too easy!"
However, it attracted frequent nods from all the product experts and technology experts present!

This agent is not easy!

He actually understands their thoughts so well!

Especially after thinking about Wu Di's personal experience, everyone applauded with deep approval!
After the seminar ended, BOSE's technical director personally drove Wu Di and Lana to their residence. Wu Di's status instantly improved!

When I returned to the hotel and turned on the TV, the crucial fourth game of the Western Conference Finals had already reached the end of the last quarter, with the Thunder temporarily leading 84-88.

The referee changed from the previous day and did not favor the Thunder too much.

But the Thunder are young people after all, and their mentality adjusts very quickly. The last game has already allowed them to regain their confidence and play very smoothly.

Especially Ibaka, the Thunder's fourth youngest player. He has never been seriously injured in his career at this time. When he explodes, let alone Spurs power forward Diaw, even Audi can't suppress it.

很快，比分定格在了103-109，其中伊巴卡全场11投11中狂砍26分，助力雷霆拿下G4，大比分来到2-2！

In the Western Conference finals, the young people fought two life-or-death battles at home, but in the Eastern Conference finals, the young people here were able to play "far ahead" on the public screen.

On the evening of June 6th, G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals was staged on time at the North Shore Garden Arena.

There is no suspense, the Big Three of the Green Army passed away peacefully.

In the last game, they lasted until two and a half quarters, but this time they only lasted for most of the quarter.

What is unexpected is that when Rondo encountered a defensive slot like Thomas Jr., his playing rhythm became increasingly chaotic.

Thomas's confrontational nature is indeed too poor for Rondo, so that it is difficult for him to rely on Thomas to make those realistic fake moves.

If Rondo had the basket, nothing would be a problem, but it's a pity that Rondo doesn't.

So even if Thomas partially lets him go, he still has to cut in and play, which is not efficient and is very tiring.

In this way, the Green Army could hold on at first, but soon they couldn't hold it anymore, and Rondo failed to bring others up as usual, which formed a negative cycle...

The game under Long's guidance was uncomfortable, but the Green Army's lineup was in the free-falling stage on the downhill road. There were no players on the bench who could rotate him, so they had to bear the brunt.

As a result, with 2 minutes and 14 seconds left in the first quarter, the Cavaliers took a double-digit lead 28-19.

At the end of the first half, the Cavaliers extended their lead to 66-48.

In the second half, the desperate Green Army fans at the scene could not wait for a miracle. After all, the Big Three are all old and need Rondo to support their condition. However, Rondo himself was not in good condition today and could only watch helplessly. The Cavaliers pushed both of them into the ICU.

In the end, the score was fixed at 113-97, and the score in the Eastern Conference Finals came to 1-3. The Cavaliers got the match point, and they can get tickets to the finals in one game!

Perhaps stimulated by the Eastern Conference Finals, on June 6, in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain in G5 of the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs' most feared macho guard and the lanky jumper both broke out!
Even though this game has returned to San Antonio, even though the referees basically didn't do much in this game, the Spurs were unable to stop the decline accumulated from two consecutive losses.

After a fierce battle, the Spurs lost the crucial battle of Tianwangshan 108-103!
Although the point difference was small, the Spurs were suppressed by the Thunder throughout the game, and the score never exceeded even once.

Every time the Spurs organized a decent counterattack, either Durant would take out a death jumper, or Westbrook would carry a bag of explosives and break down the Spurs' defense!
If one of these two people exploded, the Spurs would have a chance, but both of them exploded, so the Spurs always missed a breath, and this breath was Leonard.

When he was a rookie, he really struggled to defend Durant, and he had not developed a mid-range shot. He was unable to play difficult shots and lacked the ability to make hard tackles at critical moments...

But these require a lot of time and experience to solve. If Kawhi is to be transformed immediately, even Popovich will be disappointed.

At this point, although the outcome of the East-West showdown has not been completely decided, the two qualifying teams have been basically determined, that is, the Cavaliers and Thunder!
The grievances between the bosses of the two teams have been going on for a long time, from Durant questioning whether Wu Di was worthy of being the best rookie, to Wu Di "stealing the house" to have an early date with his widowed sister to drink bath water...

On the Internet, "Durant vs. Wu Di, who should I choose?", "Why is Durant called a professional Cupid", "How did Wu Di become a lifelong enemy", "Whoever I choose, who will be the FMVP" and other related topics Topics are emerging one after another and continue to occupy hot searches, and the style of painting is gradually becoming more and more novel...

Among them, many supporters of Durant accused Wu Di of "stealing", blatantly destroying a big boy's pure hope for love, and ruining an American love story that could have been passed down through the ages!
Wu Di is a big hater, but if you take a closer look at these people's appeals, it's obvious that he is worried about his sister-in-law.

They asked the widowed sister to keep her promise. In other words, if the Thunder wins the championship and Durant wins the Finals MVP, the widowed sister must date Durant!

Wu Di’s supporters dug up clips of the widow’s interview and analyzed them word for word. As a result, they discovered the bug——

"I will consider dating FMVP," the widow's original words were very clear, without defining the scope!

Yes, although the host of the show at the time did use Durant's widely circulated bathwater tweet to open the topic, the widow sister did not specifically refer to Durant...

The FMVP of the NBA that year was none other than Wu Di!
Isn’t this a closed loop?
Durant just now wants to bring up old things?
Why did you go early? !

You didn't even make it to the finals last year, so you still want to drink the bath water?
Toothache!
However, this result was naturally unacceptable to the Du faction. For a while, the two sides were arguing like chickens and eggs!

However, the netizens sitting on the bench in the front row watched with great pleasure and provocation:
"I think otherwise, if the Thunder really win the finals, Wu Di and Scarlett can consider mailing a bottle of bath water to KD to give him something to think about!"

There are also those who ridicule:
"Tsk, tsk, Adu only likes this bath water? Other beauties can't?"

There are also those who are fanning the flames:
"It's completely fucked. The strong twist is not sweet, but the strong feminine taste is even better!"

There are even those who advise people to return to their lost ways and recommend themselves:

"Little Adu, your thoughts are very dangerous! Be careful not to get a wife in the future! Come to me. Although I look ugly, my bath water is definitely thicker than Scarlett's..."
