After the SuperSonics won against the Spurs, the rest of the league realized that the SuperSonics had gotten stronger.

The day after the Spurs win, the Nuggets were again beaten directly back to the Denver Plateau at home, and the Nuggets lost two games in a row to the SuperSonics in a week, which left Anthony a little disappointed.

After that, the team had a two-day break, during which McMillan gathered his players together for a training session.

If the team wants to go far in this long and intensive season, it will have to be very proficient in the tactics to be executed.

On December 23, the supersonic flew to Phoenix, and once again shot the Suns, the phoenix, into a pheasant.

The SuperSonics became the hottest team in the NBA for a while, and their style of play was unique in this center era, becoming the darling of major broadcast stations.

SuperSonics season tickets have long been sold out, fans have crowded every corner of the arena for almost every game, and many fans have had to buy supersonic tickets at a high price in order to be able to buy supersonic tickets, and with the superSonics' five-game winning streak, the price of tickets has reached an all-time high.

The 15-7 record puts the team back in the top three in the West, and the two teams ahead of the SuperSonics are the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Lakers, with the Timberwolves surpassing the Lakers and ranking first in the West with their excellent performances in recent games.

The first place in the West has lost to the supersonics, which makes the hearts of fans who like supersonic full of pride, and even have shouted the slogan of the supersonic championship.

Especially Chinese fans, under the post about supersonic on the Internet, they all replied with six words - supersonic champion.

This obviously exceeded the expectations of the team management, and the team owner Schultz did not care about whether the team could win the championship, he cared about the current market value of the team and whether it could be sold for a good price.

Of course, he has no plans to sell the team now, and even if he does, he will have to wait until the team is more valuable.

"The speed of supersound is faster than the speed of sound!" ——《ESPN》

"Speed in Seattle!" —The Seattle Daily

"Lu Fei is gradually growing into the heart of Seattle." - "Sports Weekly"

The top three rookies this year, whether it is LeBron James or Cameron Anthony, were established by the team as the cornerstone of the team early, only Lu Fei has been tepid under the wing of Ray Allen and slowly run in with the team and teammates, until the end of 2003, finally became the tactical core of the Seattle SuperSonics.

Lu Fei just wanted to say: I'm too difficult......

But the effect of Lu Fei becoming the tactical core is obvious, not only breaking the recent losing streak, but also successfully winning a wave of five consecutive wins, including quasi-playoff teams such as the Nuggets and Spurs.

After Lu Fei became the tactical core, the number of his fans increased almost exponentially.

Even Scarlett Johansson said in an interview: "I'm a fan of the Seattle SuperSonics, and I'm a fan of their team's No. 10 Lu Fei!" ”

For a while, fans who liked Scarlett Johansson, even if they didn't know Lu Fei, gradually began to understand that there was a star named Lu Fei in the NBA.

Whether it is in Washington State, or in large and small stadiums in China, the most seen is wearing a supersonic No. 10 jersey, and even Lu Fei's jersey sales have surpassed Yao Ming's jersey sales.

One of the reasons why Lu Fei's popularity surpasses Yao Ming is because Lu Fei is now leading the superSonics to play better, and another reason is because Lu Fei plays guard.

On the field field, most people prefer to play the position of a defender, a defender wearing Yao Ming's No. 11 jersey does not match his own technical style, but Lu Fei is different, Lu Fei is only 191 cm, most of the defenders will wear Lu Fei's jersey and run to the outside to show off Lu Fei's emergency stop and pull back action, although it is a little awkward, but they feel that it does not affect their skills.

Besides, there are occasionally some taller people on the court, and these people feel that although their skills are not as good as Lu Fei, they can definitely say: "Lu Fei is not as tall as me!" ”

However, what makes fans more depressed is that since the SuperSonics game against the Suns on December 23, there has been no SuperSonics game until December 27.

The reason is because there is no part of the SuperSonics in this year's Christmas War!

On December 24, the NBA did not schedule any games, and there were only three games on Christmas Day, which is known as the Christmas War.

The three games were: Rockets vs. Lakers, Cavaliers vs. Magic, and Mavericks vs. Kings.

Every year in the NBA, there are several heavyweight games scheduled for the Christmas game, and all three games have their own highlights.

The biggest attraction of the Rockets vs Lakers is the matchup between Yao Ming and O'Neal.

The highlight of the Cavaliers vs Magic is the PK between the champion and the scoring champion.

Mavericks vs Kings is the Mavericks' five Tiger generals versus the Kings' Princeton.

There is no supersonic race!

This makes fans who like to watch supersonic games extremely depressed.

……

No one knew that after the game with Phoenix on December 23, Lu Fei had quietly returned to China with his girlfriend Gu Tang the next day.

It's rare to have a few days of long vacation, Lu Fei took Gu Tang back to accompany his parents, and after a season, he was afraid that he wouldn't have time to come back for the New Year, so he hoped to come back in advance during the foreigners' holidays.

It is too difficult to go abroad to work, not only with the time difference with the motherland, but also on holidays that are not in the same period as the compatriots in the motherland.

……

Pengcheng Railway Station.

As soon as the sky was bright, the taxi driver Lao Zhang was already waiting at the exit of the railway station to solicit business.

Two couples wearing black down jackets and black masks walked over, and Lao Zhang immediately shouted: "Where are the handsome guys and beauties?" Do you want to take a car? ”

As soon as I opened my mouth, a cloud of mist erupted from my mouth, and Pengcheng in December was really much colder.

Not far away, an old lady pushes a tricycle with steamed buns and steamed buns around the station, ready to prevent the station management from coming to pick people up, and at McDonald's across the road, there are constantly passengers getting off the train to find a warm corner.

The couple in black down jackets stopped.

"Would you like to eat something and go back?"

"No, there are too many people, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you."

"I'm fine."

"It's really okay, so you took off your mask?"

"Am I cold?"

Lao Zhang listened to the couple's unnutritious conversation, and couldn't help but sigh into his palms, this year's winter seems to be colder than in previous years.

"Master, go to Duanzhuang." The man finally gave up his plan to go to a crowded place to buy breakfast.

Lao Zhang rubbed his hands, felt that his heels were a little stiff, and stomped his feet again, and when he heard the address of the man, his face immediately became bitter: "Young man, Duan Zhuang really can't go...... I waited for a cold haha all morning, and after a trip to Duanzhuang, I was frozen in vain......"

Lao Zhang's pants are a little short, perhaps because of his height, his trouser legs can't cover his ankles at all, and the yellow rubber shoes on his feet look particularly thin in the cold winter.

"Master, fifty, can you go?" The man in the black down jacket said.

"Fifty?" Lao Zhang was stunned, he glanced at the already sparse aisle, and then at his own taxi parked not far away, the taxi had not yet turned off, and occasionally made the sound of the engine fluttering.

It is quite fuel-intensive to park in winter, but it is even more fuel-intensive to start after a cold car.

"Fifty is too much." Lao Zhang waved his hand, his palms were a little purple from the cold, "Twenty, I can't run in vain, but fifty is really not good, how can I make this kind of money...... Get in the car, where are you two going to Duanzhuang......"

"The staff compound behind the Sixth Hospital."

"Okay."

The warm air was on in the car, and a warm current hit Lao Zhang's frozen palms felt a little itchy, and he glanced in the rearview mirror, the girl had taken off her mask, and she was a very delicate female doll, with a ponytail and braids, and light makeup.

The man is a little weird, he wears a mask all the time.

There was a snorting sound on the taxi radio, and Lao Zhang reached out and fiddled with it, which made it much clearer.

"The Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Phoenix Suns 123-106 to win five in a row, and our Chinese player Lu Fei performed well and is expected to win the Western Conference Rookie of the Month ......"

Lao Zhang smiled and said, "Don't say that our Pengcheng really has a good player like Lu Fei......"

"Uncle also knows Lu Fei?" The man in the back seat suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

"Of course, I was still looking for a job by Lu Fei!" Lao Zhang said proudly.

"Lu Fei found it?" The man was visibly stunned.

Lao Zhang nodded, rubbing his fingers on the steering wheel he was holding in his palm, and he was full of emotion in his heart: "I used to play basketball, and I retired, this is not a fund to catch up with Lu Fei, I was given a subsidy for a few months, and I also helped me contact the taxi company to transfer a car for me to run ......"

"It's not easy to run a taxi, is it?"

"What's not easy, it's not easy to do anything, at least you can support your family, isn't it?"

"Hmm."

Taxis are not going fast, there is a thin layer of fog on the windows, and the shops on both sides of Huaihai Road have begun to prepare for Christmas.

The two young men got out of the car and gave Lao Zhang a taxi fare of 20 yuan, and when they got off the bus, they also said to Lao Zhang: "Master, Merry Christmas." ”

Although it is a foreigner's festival, Lao Zhang listens very warmly in his heart.

He was about to start the car, when he suddenly noticed that the money handed over by the young man just now seemed to be wrong, it was not yet dawn, and the overhead light of his taxi was broken again, and he didn't have time to see how much money they had given.

Lao Zhang hurriedly opened the car door, and the cold wind blew on his face a little painful.

He walked to the front of the taxi and looked at the ticket in his hand by the light of the headlights.

Well?

Not two tens?

It's two hundreds......

In the distance, a couple walked on the soles of their feet, slowing down until they confirmed that the taxi driver could not catch up.

"Lu Fei, take a break, the driver will not be able to catch up with us."

The girl who spoke was Gu Tang, and the one wearing a mask was Lu Fei, who came back from the other side of the ocean.

Gu Tang rubbed his cold face blown by the cold wind, and felt a little funny: "How do you feel like we are thieves......

"Learn from those who do good deeds without leaving a name."

"Then why don't you give two thousand."

"Isn't this to see that the master is honest, and he is afraid that he will call the police directly for 2,000, and when the time comes, he will be busy in vain if he can't find the owner to confiscate it."

"That's right, the master is an honest man at first glance."

"I'm afraid that he will hand over two hundred ......"

Lu Fei returned home, the moment he opened the door, he suddenly had a sense of intimacy of going home, his mother was going to the vegetable market to buy fresh ribs, if it wasn't for his father to stop him and say that it was not dawn, he was afraid that he would have rushed out.

The first thing Lu Fei did when he entered the room was to lie on the bed and sleep beautifully, as for Gu Tang, he had already been pulled by his mother to talk about family life.

At eleven o'clock at noon, Lu Fei was woken up by the noisy sound in the living room, opened his hazy eyes and walked to the living room to see that they were watching the Christmas war broadcast today.

The game was coming to an end, and the TV screen was showing the scores of the previous two games.

The Rockets unexpectedly won 99-87 against the Lakers.

Yao Ming got 18 points and 8 rebounds, O'Neal got 20 points and 10 rebounds, but the Rockets had the last laugh, with the team's scoring core Francis and Mobley teaming up to suppress Kobe, the Rockets defeated the Lakers, the winner of the "three-time championship", and won the game.

The Mavericks defeated the Kings 111-103, and Webb played out of style and was kicked off the throne by the Mavericks' five tiger generals.

Now the game is Cavaliers vs Magic, and it has reached overtime, Lu Fei took a look and knew that Magic won, is the reason...... Because he's seen it!

In the end, the Magic defeated the Cavaliers 113-101 thanks to the combined play of Juvan Howard and Maddie in overtime.

In the whole game, Maddy played 50 minutes, shooting 15 of 29, and scored 41 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists; James played 47 minutes, shot 13 of 28, and scored 34 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists!

"Why don't you arrange a supersonic race!" Lu Fei's mother complained.

Lu Fei rolled his eyes.

If there was a supersonic race, would you still be able to see your son at this time?

After lunch, Gu Tang couldn't bear it anymore, and sleepiness hit, so he got into the quilt that Lu Fei had just climbed out of, and fell asleep while it was hot.

"Mom, I'll go out."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the University of Mines."

After speaking, Lu Fei put the hat of the down jacket on his head, put on the mask, and rode out on the little electric donkey at home.

At noon, the sun is rarely warm.

The campus radio sounded Eason Chan's just released single "Ten Years" this year, which was adapted from Eason Chan's Cantonese song "Next Year Today", but after changing to Chinese, it was more popular than the Cantonese version.

Lu Fei rode an electric donkey and hummed in his mouth: "Ten years later, we are friends, and we can still greet ......"

Suddenly, he stopped the electric donkey and looked at the basketball court not far away, which was the place where he played for the first time after returning and where his basketball career began.

He tied up the car and walked over.

"Hey, buddy, are you playing?"

A familiar voice shouted at him, Lu Fei looked up, and coincidentally, it was Liu Hu from the previous dormitory.

"Okay." Lu Fei smiled.

Liu Hu was stunned when he heard this voice, and carefully looked at the classmate in front of him wearing a black down jacket and a black mask.

"Ahh Be...... It's ......"

"Shh......h
