Chapter Seventy-One: The Finale

Previous Chapter

The next morning, George woke up in the hotel room wafting with the smell of Damascus roses, he slowly opened his eyes, and was stunned to find that he was holding a person in his arms, for so many years he had slept alone, and woke up alone, at first encountering this special situation, he was a little uncomfortable.

Elizabeth Olsen hadn't woken up yet, perhaps because the two of them had been so tired from the strenuous exercise and long trip they had taken last night that her hair was disheveled and she was burying her head over George like a child.

George couldn't help but feel that all this was like a dream, he had never had a relationship with such a beautiful goddess as Olsen, if he thought that Olsen would become a Hollywood actress in the future, and would be the object of longing and affection of men around the world, that sense of accomplishment would make George surging.

Suddenly, Olsen's mobile phone ringtone woke up the sleeping beauty, Olsen opened his eyes and saw George's smile at the first sight, except for the first time last night, George's performance was getting better, and definitely made this beauty spend a night worth remembering many times.

George kissed Olsen, more like a polite morning greeting, Olsen stroked George's cheek with his hand, and the gentle jade hand slowly reached for the hair behind George's ear, and then said to him, "I'll take the phone." ”

"Hmm." George nodded.

Then, Olsen put on a shirt and answered the phone.

From the content of the phone call, George heard that Olsen really had a female friend in Spartanburg, and that the person was still asking why he didn't go to her house last night.

Hanging up, Olsen said to George, "Does my friend have to see me and stay with me?" ”

George thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe we can meet again at dinner time, I still have something to do." ”

"Well, okay, then I'll go wash up and see my friend first."

"Wait a minute."

George stepped out of bed barefoot and hugged Olsen from behind, Olsen already knew what he was going to do, and for some reason she was even more shy than she had been last night......

……

After Olsen left, George also left the hotel quickly, he was not with Olsen, and he did have a very important business to do, which was to exchange Zion Williamson and take the test on the spot.

There was no need to hesitate to exchange Williamson, George wanted to find a basketball court at random, but because it had just snowed in the city, George had to find an outdoor basketball court.

Soon, George bought a basketball, changed into sports equipment, and went into an indoor basketball arena, maybe because it was the morning, no one was playing here, and George didn't want his new abilities to be seen by others, such an environment was just what he wanted.

When George stood on the basketball court with a basketball, he started today's live broadcast, and as soon as it started, George said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Everyone, I have decided, exchange for Zion Williamson immediately!" ”

However, the audience's response was not as enthusiastic as George expected.

[Huh? What about Ao Mei? Why is there only one streamer? 】

[It must have been that I didn't feed last night, and my sister left angrily. 】

[Anchor, don't redeem ZION, it's the top priority to redeem Ibaka! ] 】

"These guys ......" George was helpless, and endured some ridicule again.

However, he had no patience, and quickly clicked on the exchange in the backstage of the live broadcast!

Zion Williamson, the 19-year-old boy they blew fiercer than James, already belongs to George!

"Power...... That's the power of Zion Williamson! As soon as George finished the exchange, he immediately squeezed the basketball in his hand with both hands to feel the power of the new star!

[Damn! Streamers are already using Williamson! Are you trying to blow up the basketball? 】

[Anchor, your current weight is heavier than more than 50% of the league's centers! You can take two steps and feel it! 】

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but after using Williamson this time, the physical changes are obviously much stronger than Hayes!

George took a few steps with the basketball in his hand, and he felt that with every step he took, there was a heavy collapse sound! The floor felt like it was going to shatter because of the weight!

Yes, the description is exaggerating!

Because there is nothing in the basketball arena to test his strength, George did not know where the limit of his strength is at the first time, but presumably the data provided by the audience will not be fake.

Williamson's strength and weight really don't need to be doubted at all!

George was more worried about his bounce!

"With his stature, he should be compared to O'Neal, can he still have such a strong jump? VERTICAL BOUNCE 117CM...... This is also a top-level existence in the history of the NBA! ”

In the history of the NBA, the first person in vertical bounce is Chamberlain, with 122CM, the second person is Darrell Griffiths, who entered the NBA in 1980 "Slam Dunk Freak", and the third is the basketball god Michael Jordan, whose vertical bounce is 117CM.

LeBron James, who was compared by the audience with ZION, has a vertical bounce of 111.7CM, and his violent dunk is enough to make people feel brutal!

Just imagine, Williamson has a better bounce than James, and a bigger tonnage than James...... Isn't that ......

"I don't believe it!"

George was excited, he didn't believe that the kid he saw yesterday would grow into a monster he couldn't imagine in the future!

I saw George holding a basketball and kept moving backwards until he stopped at the logo in the center circle.

[Is the anchor going to test the dunk? 】

[Let's jump to the free throw line and dunk directly!] Let you feel the talent of ZION! 】

Jump from the free throw line for a dunk, yes, George is going to do this too!

George took two deep breaths, and then, slowly dribbling forward, and then slowly accelerating, as the speed increased, George's heartbeat also increased, he unconsciously remembered the dream he had, he was worried that what he was exchanging was an unprecedented demon, or a fat man with only weight?

Rub!

Coming to the free throw line, George quickly jumped on one leg!

He, fly! Finish! Rise! Come!

George didn't grab the basketball like Michael Jordan jumped off the free throw line to dunk, sometimes stretching his arms forward, that kind of action is art, on the one hand, George can't learn, on the other hand, Williamson and Jordan are also different types of dunks.

If you want to dunk with Williamson's talent, then George should use the LeBron James way.

That's right, George is just like James, with his right arm fully extended, raising his right arm high, and dunking in a tomahawk style!

Bang!

George jumped from the free-throw line, glided all the way to the basket, and slammed the basketball in with his right hand!

After George's heavy dunk, the basket shook violently!

"Oh my God! Tanks can even fly!! ”

After George landed, he looked at the shaking basket in front of him, and his emotions were overwhelming!

It was the first time he had the feeling of flying! This is the first time he's done a free throw line dunk!

"It's wonderful! It was such a wonderful feeling! George wanted to scream, he didn't know how to hide his excitement!

What basketball player wouldn't want to have such a top-notch dunk talent?!

[Anchor, how's it going?] We didn't lie to you, did we? If you want to show off your dunk, ZION's talent is absolutely nothing. 】

[It's shocking! The anchor's free-throw line jumping dunk is more of a sense of stagnation and elegance than ZION himself, and it is also because the anchor is thinner and shorter than ZION, so it has a more such effect. 】

【It's so enjoyable!】 The anchor can participate in the slam dunk contest, who are the people who participated in the dunk contest this season, torture them to death! 】

[With Griffin, McGee, DeRozan and Ibaka, we have some good ideas for the streamers to win the slam dunk contest, absolutely no problem!] 】

The audience in the live broadcast room is already urging George to use Williamson's ability to participate in the slam dunk contest!

"It's wonderful! It's so wonderful! "George doesn't have the heart to think about the dunk contest right now, he's still immersed in Williamson's talent.

With a weight comparable to that of a center and the best bounce in history, Zion Williamson is ahead of James in terms of tonnage and bounce!

In this comparison, James is a younger brother!

"Hahahaha......" George laughed out loud at the thought of this.

James, who entered the NBA in 2003, amazed too many people, I thought that there would be no next LeBron in the NBA, but I didn't expect that after 16 years, there would be another Zion Williamson!

George has Williamson, and at this moment, he can be regarded as one of the most talented players in the NBA!

Williamson can even be said to be better than James in terms of pure talent, but 240,000 can buy rookie Williamson, but not rookie James, George guesses that it may have something to do with other aspects of the two.

In fact, long before James entered the NBA, some people said that James's basketball IQ has exceeded 90% of NBA players, and James has not only physical talent, but also unparalleled ball IQ and overall vision.

These things, Williamson must not be able to compare.

But for George, there are no regrets at all! Because George exchanges his body and ability, how to really play and use it on the field still depends on George's control.

George took the ball, happily moved to the half-court position again, then accelerated again and performed another free-throw line dunk!

[Haha, the anchor is already obsessed with this feeling! ] 】

[Don't just play with the free throw line, you can try other moves, by the way, the anchor, don't just dunk with your right hand, ZION is used to using your left hand, you try to dunk with your left hand. 】

[Yes, yes, I forgot to remind the anchor that ZION is a left-handed player, and he also shoots with his left hand. 】

"He's left-handed?" George was a little surprised.

Since Williamson is left-handed, he must have a strong left-handed dunk ability, and George decided to experiment with it.

I saw George holding the ball in both hands, walking forward in small steps, and when he came to the free throw line, he threw the basketball to the rebound, and immediately accelerated and rushed over to jump!

"This feeling of being in the air!" George used Williamson's bounce for the third time and still felt wonderful, even better than the third time he had with Olsen last night.

After jumping, George caught the basketball bouncing off the rebound with his left hand and dunked the ball into the basket with a heavy hand!

After landing on the ground, George looked at his left hand in disbelief and sighed: "This left hand is too violent!" ”

[Haha, with ZION, the anchor is an all-round dunk with both left and right hands! ] 】

[However, the anchor is used to shooting with his right hand, if the shooting is changed to the left hand in the future, will there be a problem? ] 】

A dunk is indeed an excellent addition, but when it comes to shooting, it is in conflict with George, who has always practiced right-handed shooting, and it is impossible to suddenly switch to the left hand.

"I'll test his shooting ability."

George has already experimented with Williamson's dunk prowess and now wants to test his shooting prowess.

George felt very awkward about the position of shooting with his left hand, and he didn't even know how to use his power to shoot at first, but he slowly threw it down, and it gradually got better.

George tested Williamson's shooting percentages at various positions, including two-pointers and three-pointers, and finally concluded:

"This guy's shooting isn't as good as mine, and if I need an outside shot, I'll switch to my body."

[Well, it should be like this, the anchor's shooting is actually pretty good, the outside shooting depends on yourself, as long as you break inside, don't care if you get to the basket or dunk, leave it to ZION.] 】

[I can't wait to see the streamer return to the NBA, haha!] 】

With such super talent, George didn't want to return to the NBA sooner, but unfortunately, he now has to go through this torturous suspension years.

……

Neither George nor Olsen stopped at Spartanburg and returned to New York the same day, as George's mother, Taylor, had already arrived in New York, and he was in a hurry to meet Taylor, so he parted ways with Olsen.

George sent his address to Taylor, who came to his residence and waited for him, and George got off the plane and rushed back without stopping.

"Mom!"

Taylor is a white woman with short and medium hair, and when she was young, she also had long hair like Erin, and in the past two years, perhaps because of the effect of reducing her age, she has changed her hairstyle slightly.

can give birth to a daughter of Erin's beauty, Taylor is obviously a very attractive woman.

The last time the two met, it was at the draft conference, George was very happy to see her again, and walked over and hugged her the moment they met, and it was at this time that George found out that she didn't come alone, and next to Taylor, there was a man about her age.

Because Taylor and Byron have been divorced for nearly two years, it is entirely possible that Taylor has a new partner, so this is also George's first reaction.

"I'll introduce you, this is David Wellman." Taylor hugged George, then introduced him.

"Hello." George shook Wilman's hand, then said, "Go in first." ”

George opened the door and the two walked into the slightly cramped room, which Taylor was already tidying up in the room from the first second he entered.

Seeing this scene, George was a little ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little messy here." ”

Taylor is George's adoptive mother, so naturally he doesn't care about this, and Wellman also seems to be an informal person, but he said something very strange: "In fact, from the layout and cleanliness of the room, it can also reflect a person's recent mood and his character." ”

George didn't like this because his house was a mess, and it certainly didn't correspond to a good character.

"Mom, is this David Wellman your friend?" George stopped beating around the bush and wondered if he had that relationship with Taylor.

Taylor understood what George meant, so he put down his things, walked over and sat down, and said, "Oh, I'm a colleague of Dr. Wellman's wife, and he's flown to New York to see you with me." ”

"Hello, Mike, here's my business card." Wellman handed George a business card with both hands.

After George took it, he took a closer look, and before George could react, the audience in the live broadcast room exploded.

[Psychiatrist? Anchor, does your mom think you're mentally ill? So you brought a doctor? 】

[Could it be caused by the abnormal performance of the anchor in these few games?] 】

George held the business card, his mood had become extremely uncomfortable, he pinched the two corners of the piece of paper, and asked very seriously: "I don't know what you mean, do you think I'm sick?" ”

Taylor sat down next to George and said, "Joe, don't think too much, Wellman also has good intentions, the day after you got into a fight with the Celtics star, he asked his wife to contact me, thinking that I should come to New York to see you, sweetheart, your recent situation really worries me." ”

[I said why did the anchor's mother suddenly fly over, it turned out that this doctor instigated it, how can I look at this guy more and more like a good person! ] 】

George also hated this person, because from the moment the two shook hands, he looked at him with a strange look, at first George didn't know how to describe it, but later knowing his doctor's identity, George could clearly define it, that is, the doctor's look at the patient.

Go to TMD, Lao Tzu is not mentally ill!

George looked at Wellman very seriously and said, "I don't know what you said to my mother, but I'm sure to tell you that you ran away in vain, I don't have any problems, my mood and spirit are normal." ”

"So how do you explain the unusual performances in the last few games? Mike, I'm here to help you, your emotional control has started to get out of control, and your mental state is dangerous. ”

"You're mentally problematic!" George was strong and got up suddenly, as an athlete, how could he endure such words.

"Joe, don't do that." Taylor tried his best to soothe George's emotions, "He also wants to help you, after all, your recent performance is indeed not what you would have done." ”

"Do you think I'm sick too?" George looked at Taylor.

Taylor, she didn't speak, she didn't even reply!

[Oops! This doctor may have brainwashed the anchor's mother! Now the more excited the anchor is, the more my mother will think that the anchor is really mentally ill! 】

[Once the anchor's mother determines the fact that the anchor is mentally ill, once the outside media reports it, I am afraid it will cause very serious consequences! ] The anchor is going to take the road of a global idol, and there must not be such negative rumors! 】

[Damn! Hearing you say this, it turns out that the current situation is more dangerous than when there is a fight! Who can help the anchor!! 】

[#RED Don't get excited, at this time, the harder you explain, the more they will think you are sick! The effect will only backfire! You calm down, do what they want, and then find a way to take them to a bookstore, and then I'll teach you how to do it! 】

From the moment he entered, Wellman had been trying to provoke George, who had almost made the situation worse if it hadn't been for the barrage's reminder, and indeed, if they had already preconceived the idea that George was mentally ill, his hysterical rant would only prove their guess even more correct.

After a few seconds, George sat down slowly, and after the solemn atmosphere in the small house became quiet, George spoke again: "Sorry, my emotions were a little out of control just now, maybe Dr. Wellman was right, it was this chaotic living environment that affected my emotions, I would like to ask a question, is it a quiet place that is more helpful for my condition?" ”

George suddenly became quiet and cooperative, much to Dr. Wellman's surprise, and he nodded repeatedly: "That's right, you have to be in a quiet, non-noisy environment all the time now, and the team's training hall is not for you." ”

"Can you recommend a few places?" George looked at Wellman with a sincere expression.

Wellman thought for a moment, and replied, "New York is a city that never sleeps, but when it comes to quiet, quiet places, there are a few, you can go for a run in Central Park after seven o'clock in the evening, or you can go to Wave Hill, where the water garden surrounded by vine-covered pergolas is very nice, where you can have a glass of wine and read a book on a chair on a wooden lawn, if you are interested." ”

"Oh, of course." When it comes to books, George nodded repeatedly, "I've always loved reading, and my mother knows, so it's not appropriate to go to Wave Hill now, so let's find a bookstore nearby, maybe the environment there can make me relax." ”

Seeing that George was willing to cooperate with the treatment, Wellman did not have any objections, and nodded: "It's a good idea." ”

Seeing that George's mood seemed to be much more normal, Taylor was also very happy, and the three of them left George's residence on the spot and went to a nearby bookstore.

It's a small bookstore, and there's basically no one in the bookstore.

"I'll pick out a book to read, and you can sit by the window and drink." George said to Taylor and Wellman.

Taylor smiled and nodded, "You're so good, kid, don't worry, Wellman will be able to get you better soon." ”

George smiled and, without saying anything, walked over to the bookshelf, and the two of them sat down in their seats by the window.

[#RED Anchor, now go find a copy of GarcΓ­a MΓ‘rquez's "Happy Funeral in a Dream and Twelve Tales from a Foreign Land". 】

[I've seen it, right next to "One Hundred Years of Solitude", why did you let the anchor read this book? 】

George hadn't read the book mentioned in the barrage, but he knew that the author had written a famous book like "One Hundred Years of Solitude", so he took a book that was not too thick in his hand and found a place to read it.

[#RED Anchor, you read the fifth story directly, and you will know my intentions after reading it. 】

[Haha, I've read it quickly, the red letter is a good trick! ] 】

George opened the book's table of contents with curiosity and saw that the name of the fifth story was: "I just came to make a call".

"What a strange name." George couldn't figure out why the red barrage asked him to come to the bookstore to read novels, so that his mother wouldn't mistake him for being mentally ill?

He flipped straight to the fifth story and read it carefully.

The story is about a beautiful woman who broke down in the middle of the road on a rainy day, and at first no one paid attention to her gestures for help, and then a bus drove her, and the bus was filled with women of unknown ages and statuses, all wrapped in a blanket and asleep.

The woman was infected by their serene posture, and also fell asleep in the sound of the rain, and when she woke up, she hurriedly went to a place where she didn't know where to call, and after making the call, she realized that she could not get out.

Because it's a psychiatric hospital.

The pretty women cried hysterically at them that they had only come to call, but no one would believe the words of a "mentally ill person", who quickly used injections and other means to make her submit to the place.

Later, after suffering a lot, the beautiful woman finally had the opportunity to call her husband, who she thought would come and take her out and let her escape from this sea of misery, but even her husband thought that she was really sick.

She cried even more hysterically, I'm not sick! I'm just here to call! But it only made the man feel that her condition was more serious.

In the end, she spent her life in a mental hospital.

"Ahh

The story is very short, and after reading it, George suddenly realized that the novel recommended by the barrage was not for himself, but for his mother.

Taylor is a smart man, and if you look at the story, you know what George is trying to say.

So, after a while, George walked over and said to Taylor, "Mom, I read a very interesting story, would you like to read it too?" ”

"Okay." Taylor smiled and took the book.

"Whose book is it?" Wellman asked with a little caution.

"Author of One Hundred Years of Solitude." George replied.

"Oh." Welman didn't say anything more, and stood up, "Maybe I should take a book too." ”

The two continued to sit facing each other in front of the window, each holding a book, but Wellman was surprised to find that Taylor began to cry as he watched.

The authors of these novels are masters of sensationalism, and Wellman shook his head, not thinking anything strange.

By the time Taylor finished reading the story, Taylor was already in tears, she immediately put down the book, walked to George, who was sitting quietly reading the book, and hugged George deeply: "I'm sorry, child, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have distrusted you, I almost hurt you, I can't imagine how miserable it would be if you were like that poor woman, living in a misunderstood world from now on?" ”

"What happened?" Wellman hurriedly got up and stepped forward.

Taylor wiped away his tears and warned Wellman with a very resolute attitude: "There is nothing wrong with my son, I don't want to hear anything from you that slanders my son, you can go, David." ”

"What?" Wellman was completely in a fog, he thought he could easily get paid by Pierce's agent, but in an instant, Taylor read a story, and things changed so quickly?

It wasn't until Taylor and George left, and Wellman finished reading the story, that he understood why.

Wellman was very surprised: "The person who can beat Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett can still have such a delicate mind, my God, this guy is terrible, I should stay away from him in the future!" ”

……

When he got home in the evening, Taylor made George fried plantain chips, coconut milk cooked rice, and yellow mustard patties, all Colombian favorites, which Taylor explained was to thank Marquez.

The messy house was also cleaned up by his mother, and George felt very happy eating the food cooked by his mother, and he took several photos with his mobile phone, including photos of Taylor when he was cooking, and photos of the food being made, and he would send these photos to Erin to make her greedy.

"It would be nice if Erin and Dad were here too, they haven't eaten your meal in a long time." George really hopes that this time is not just him and his mother, he wants the family to be reunited.

In the past many years, the family has been very happy, and he doesn't know why his parents divorced suddenly.

"Mom, you and Dad...... Why do you get divorced? Seeing that Taylor felt guilty about him today, George cautiously asked this question, which he would not normally dare to ask.

Taylor paused for two seconds and asked, "Don't you talk to your dad about everything?" Didn't you ask him? ”

George said: "I asked, and he said that the reason for your divorce was because of marriage. ”

[666, divorced because of marriage, if you are not married, you don't need to divorce, Byron is right in this answer. 】

"Hmph." Taylor was dismissive of this answer.

George still hoped that Taylor and Byron could remarry, so he took this opportunity to say: "Mom, I heard Erin say, because of my business, you called and scolded my father, in fact, it's none of his business, the night before I came to New York from Seattle, he deliberately explained a lot to me, to get along with his teammates Such words, I didn't listen to his lessons, what he should say, what he should do, really did everything, you believe me, I didn't mean to say good things for him." ”

Taylor waved his hand and said, "Of course I believe he will explain this to you, after all, he has suffered such a loss in the NBA, and besides, you are not bad with your teammates, but with your opponents." ”

Taylor casually mentioned another sensitive topic, which aroused George's interest even more intensely: "Mom, you just said that Dad suffered such a loss in the NBA...... Who did he offend when he was with the Lakers? ”

Byron never mentioned his extremely short career with the NBA Lakers, so George was always curious about what happened to Byron in that fantasy team!

It wasn't until the playoffs, when George and the Miami Big Three started, that he knew that the real reason was from Pat Riley.

At that time, George's father played under the Lakers coached by Riley, and in a short career, Byron's conceit and preaching made Riley extremely disgusted, and the two were completely different styles of people, but Byron won the trust of many players at the time, including the Magic, and they resisted Riley's cruel coaching together.

In the end, Riley kicked Byron out of the team, which ended his career due to injury.

Many years later, after learning that Byron's children were participating in the draft, Riley was still jealous of what happened back then, so he called the Lakers who were originally interested in George, and then, after the Lakers were not selected, news circulated among other teams that George was injured, which led to George's loss.

Anger pervades George's entire series, where he fought seven straight games against the Miami Triumvirate, and finally defeated the Miami Triumvirate with the ability of Williamson and others to stop Miami's way to the championship.

Subsequently, as he became more and more capable and stronger, he gradually became an all-round invincible player in the NBA.

In fact, he positions himself as just an anchor.
