SuperSonics' recent schedule is easy, and Lu Fei is also playing easily.

The hardest part was his old teammates, the Huskies had a tough time heading into March Madness, and after back-to-back victories over UC and US, they pushed up to the Sweet 16 and thought they could go one step further, only to fall in front of Seton Hall.

The Sweet Sixteen is the end of March Madness for the Huskies.

Crazy March is so cruel, a game is won or lost, won and continued, and lost and went home.

After Lu Fei knew that the Huskies team lost, he immediately spoke to the media: "This year's Huskies team played very well, and I am proud of every teammate!" ”

The fans were frustrated, but they knew the players had done their best.

"Lu, we lost......" Paul called.

"It's okay, the game is over, you've done your mission, come back."

Lu Fei could hear his reluctance in Paul's voice, and he didn't know how to comfort the other party, because he knew that Paul was a very competitive player.

Paul returned to Seattle and sat in a deserted dormitory, staring at the poster of Lu Fei on the wall, in a daze.

Lu Fei is the idol he has always wanted to follow, and he wants to lead the University of Washington to take the honor Lu Fei has won again.

Pity......

After all, he is not Lu Fei.

Even if he made a big sacrifice and gave up the starting position, even if he played well in the sixth man position, he still couldn't save the team's loss.

When...... Can you become the next Lu Fei?

Just as he was in a daze, there was a knock on the door to the dormitory.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was his familiar teammate.

"Chris, who do you see coming?"

"Huh?"

Paul's eyes looked behind them, and behind them stood the figure exactly like the one on the poster, Lu Fei.

"Land ......"

"Let's go in and talk." Lu Fei smiled.

Brandon Roy, Anthony Washington, Wilconroy, and Lu Fei walked into Paul's dorm room.

For Paul, all four of them are his seniors, and all four of them are the main players of the team that won the NCAA championship last year.

But only Lu Fei participated in the NBA draft, and this year's team filled Lu Fei's vacancy by itself, perhaps...... I can't fill it up myself.

Lu Fei has become an NBA star, and his reputation in Seattle is booming, which has put pressure on Paul, and the loss of March Madness has made him feel that he may never be able to keep up with him.

"Why are you here, don't you go out and relax after the game?" Paul squeezed out a smile.

Anthony Washington put his arm around Paul's shoulders with a grin, "I'm a girlfriend person, I never go out to relax, and Lu Fei can prove this for me." ”

"Proof you blocked Elle?" Lu Feidao.

"Actually, we're just here to talk to you." Brandon Roy said with a smile.

"What are you talking about?" Paul was stunned, "Don't worry, I'm not so fragile yet, I just lost the game." ”

Just lost the game...... But he didn't want to lose, he said to himself in his heart.

"Lu, let's talk about you, right?" Wilcon Roy patted Lu Fei on the shoulder.

"Yes, this matter is the most suitable for Lu Fei, Lu, you come and tell Chris our decision." Anthony Washington said excitedly.

Decision?

Lu Fei coughed lightly, when he entered the room, he saw his own poster on the wall, and when he saw the poster, he found that he was quite handsome, and narcissism was indeed a little embarrassing at this time, he cleared his throat and said: "Actually, Brandon, Will and Anthony have decided to participate in this year's NBA draft, and they want to hear your opinion......"

"NBA Draft?" Paul was stunned: "But I haven't won the NCAA championship yet......"

"It doesn't matter." Lu Fei shook his head: "You have proven your strength, you have the ability to play in the NBA, after they participate in the draft this year, it may be more difficult for the Huskies to play well next year, they hope that you can also enter the NBA together, so that we can meet in the NBA." ”

“……”

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Anthony Washington stood up at this time and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Oops, I forgot that my mother asked me to take Elle home for dinner today, and the matter has been notified, so let's go first." ”

"Then let's go first, you think about it and tell me." Lu Fei said to Paul.

"Okay."

The four men walked out the door, and silence returned to the room.

Wilcon Roy, who was walking in the hallway, asked hesitantly, "Will Chris participate in the draft?" I'm worried about ......"

"Are you worried that he will hold up next year's husky dog by himself?" Brandon Roy asked.

No one spoke, because whatever the choice was, it was the right choice for Paul.

In the room, Chris Paul was still in a daze, he looked downstairs from the window, and saw Lu Fei and they were walking far away.

……

Gu Tang returned to Boston, she started studying before dawn every morning, and she was still soaking in the library late at night until she dragged her tired body back to the dormitory.

Priscilla shouted, "Are you crazy? How can you study so hard? ”

Gu Tang just smiled.

From elementary school to junior high school to college, she never felt pressure, perhaps because she had a good father who never forced her to do things she didn't like.

When she arrived at the university, she was the focus of the school, she was very Buddhist, Lu Fei asked her what her hobbies were? She said she was watching a TV series.

I never thought that one day I would do something so desperately.

Because of Lu Fei.

She sometimes feels pressure when she is with Lu Fei, every time she sees the praise of Lu Fei from the media, every time she hears the admiration of female classmates for Lu Fei, and every time she sees Lu Fei standing on the court and becoming the focus of the court, she will feel that Lu Fei is walking too fast, and she is still standing still.

Sometimes she remembers the first time she interviewed Lu Fei in the gymnasium, when Lu Fei was just a college player and she was just an ordinary college student.

The first time we met, the first time I watched a movie, the first time I went shopping in Seattle, the first time I watched him play with the Huskies, the first time he lifted the NCAA championship trophy......

Lu Fei walked too fast, she was afraid that she would not be able to catch up.

So she worked hard and studied desperately, hoping that she could help a little when Lu Fei needed it, even if it was a little.

It's really hard to understand feelings.

Lu Fei likes Gu Tang's purity, likes the simple happiness of being with her, sometimes Lu Fei will think that if he doesn't play ball, he wants to return to Pengcheng with Gu Tang, and it is enough to slip around every day and chase dramas.

But seeing Gu Tang working so hard, he didn't object, because it was Gu Tang's decision.

Maybe after walking the bend to chase the drama, they are still on the road now.

……

After a race-wrenching game, the SuperSonics' 2003-2004 regular season finally came to an end, and they finished third in the West with a 57-25 record.

Lu Fei was still training with his teammates in the stadium, unaware that the text message ringing in the backpack he kept in the locker room.

The phone screen lit up with Chris Paul's name, and the text message read: "Lu, I've decided to participate in the NBA draft!" ”
