Chapter 16: Hidden Worries

Although Lin Xue's unexpected arrival brought a brief surprise to Wang Yu's life, after this short surprise, Wang Yu immediately discovered some unusual signs.

Han Bin, who has always been generous, didn't know why he didn't rent a small apartment for Yi Haiyang this time, but he didn't help Lin Xue arrange a suitable job. For safety, Lin Xue has been living in Wang Yu's apartment for two or three months.

Before you know it, the time has quietly come to April.

Suspicious of Han Bin's intentions, Wang Yu has already squeezed into the top five of the rookie of the year list. At the moment, the competition for playoff spots and rankings has reached a white-hot stage, and there are many teams that will usher in their regular season finale tonight.

Many teams that have already decided on the order of playoff spots have let their main players go through their own plays, but for the Rockets and Clippers, tonight's final game will not only not be the slightest release, but will have to fight desperately to win.

Although the Rockets have achieved the best results in the past three years under the leadership of Harden, Wang Yu and Howard, they are tied for fourth place in the West with the Clippers led by Paul and Anthony with a 52-29 record.

However, with each team winning each of their previous two meetings, tonight's final game of the season and the third meeting of the season will be important for both sides, as the winner will occupy fourth place and gain valuable home advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

………

In the noisy arena, the enthusiasm of the fans at this moment seems to have made people feel the atmosphere of the tragic battle in the playoffs. With the sonorous sound of the DJ, the Los Angeles Clippers who came to visit the court were the first to rush into the court.

Although it was a visit to Houston, the Clippers still won a warm cheer from the fans with the super popularity of their two leading stars, Paul and Anthony.

Just as Paul and Anthony were about to wave to the audience around them with a smug look on their faces, suddenly the roar of red arrows rising into the air suddenly sounded in the Toyota Arena. Hearing this, Paul and Anthony looked at each other and smiled bitterly, then looked up at the large screen directly above the court.

On the screen, countless rockets spitting fire dragons roared across the sky, and immediately fell sharply towards a target. Before people could see what kind of object they had hit, everyone's vision was immediately blocked by the sea of fire in the sky.

The next moment, the roar of wild beasts suddenly sounded in the sea of fire, and then a huge beast with a hideous face rushed out of the sea of fire, looking straight ahead and roaring one by one.

"Ahh

"Good..."

Listening to the cheers of the fans at the scene, Paul and Anthony couldn't help but smile bitterly again. Turning his face, the players of the Rockets really ran out of the player tunnel one by one at this moment.

"Roar..."

“……”

Sitting in the stands full of excited crowds, Lin Xue tried her best to restrain the excitement in her heart. However, when she saw Wang Yu running out of the players' tunnel wearing an NBA team jersey again, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but moisten again.

"Xiaoxue, is Senior Wang Yu really good?" Yi Haiyang glanced at the excited crowd around him, and asked Lin Xue calmly.

"Well, I've watched him a lot of games since I came, and he's scored seven or eight points in every game, and..."

"Hmph, that's not good." Yi Haiyang didn't wait for Lin Xue to finish speaking, and said coldly: "I knew this earlier, I just promised him the challenge last time, so that I could save a lot of trouble in the future." ”

"Why? Are you confident that you can defeat him? Lin Xue said with a smile.

"Of course there is, according to what you say, he just has a good view of the overall situation on the court, and his individual scoring ability is not really strong. Bullfighting is an individual and not a team, so I'm completely confident that I can beat him up. ”

Yi Haiyang grinned confidently, and then muttered in a low voice: "Don't forget that I used to play wild ball on the streets. Now I finally know why Brother Han Bin has not let me watch his game, it turns out that Brother Han Bin is afraid that I will challenge him in advance. ”

"What did you say?" Lin Xue didn't hear what Yi Haiyang was saying, and turned her face to ask.

"Oh, nothing. Let's watch the game, it's about to begin. ”

Yi Haiyang wanted to tell Lin Xue that he had made up his mind to find Wang Yu to challenge him after the game, but after thinking about it, he still dispelled this idea. Because anyway, after the game is over, he will immediately tell Wang Yu about it, so there is no need to disturb his girlfriend's interest now.

"Is Wang Yu still a substitute?" At the whistle, looking at the Rocket team players who strode into the stadium one by one, Yi Haiyang asked puzzledly.

"yes, he's always been helping Jeremy Lin on the bench."

Lin Xue didn't know what Yi Haiyang was thinking at the moment, and said with a smile: "But I think he is no worse than the starter every time, and many times he is much better than them." ”

After hearing Lin Xue's words, Yi Haiyang nodded with a smile, but said disdainfully in his heart, "Now it seems that you, Wang Yu, like many Chinese athletes, have obtained such a high reputation through excessive packaging, hmph." At this moment, the whistle for the official start of the game suddenly sounded in the field, and everyone's eyes, including Lin Xue and Yi Haiyang, were instantly attracted.

………

………

Sitting on the bench, Wang Yu was gossiping with the team physiotherapist who was helping him with joint massage. At this point, the game had officially started for 3 minutes, but this guy hadn't even looked at the court, as if he had nothing to do with it.

"Hey, won't Wang play tonight?" Paul glanced at Wang Yu, who was sitting on the bench with a bright smile on his face, and turned his face to Jeremy Lin in front of him and asked.

"You look down on me?" Jeremy Lin heard the sarcasm in Paul's words and asked coldly.

"yes, so what? My goal was Wang Yu. Paul smiled nonchalantly and continued, "Don't you really know you're a fake starter?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, if you have the ability, you can beat me." Jeremy Lin glared coldly, then turned to the side.

Looking at the back of Jeremy Lin's indignant departure, Paul couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't understand why the Chinese player in front of him, who had been able to 'survive' for a long time by relying on the league's charity, still couldn't recognize his own strength until this moment.

"Well, since you're so confident, I'll beat you up and beg for mercy." Paul said and turned his face to look at Wang Yu's location, and said coldly: "I want to see when you are willing to play." ”

………

………

Hush...

At the whistle, the Rockets called a short 20-second timeout. Although the score of the two teams did not open up at this time, I don't know why there is always a very bad feeling that comes to the heart of head coach McHale.

"Is GP3 (Paul) crazy, why is he fighting so hard?"

McHale looked at Paul who was wiping his sweat off the Clippers' bench in the distance, and after saying this to himself, he turned and walked to his team's bench.

"You should know that the outcome of tonight's game will likely affect or even determine the outcome of our team in the playoffs, and the importance is self-evident, and I hope everyone can cheer up."

When McHale said this, he turned his face to look at Jeremy Lin on the side, and said, "Lin, you can't defend Paul, and you will come down and change Wang Yu to play in a while." ”

Wang Yu, who had been bullied and ridiculed by Paul for a long time, had nowhere to vent his anger, and when he heard the head coach make the same excuse to replace him, although he didn't scream, his eyes immediately widened.

"Wang, hurry up and change your clothes and get ready to play."

McHale said solemnly to Wang Yu on the side, not noticing that Jeremy Lin was on the verge of collapse at the moment. still continues to lay out tactics and running positions for the players.

"Alright, let's go, we must win this game."

McHale said and stood up and high-fived the players one by one, just as he wanted to sit back in the chair and rest, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Yu still standing in place in a daze at the moment, with a pair of eyes looking straight ahead, and he didn't mean to play at all.

"Hey, King, what are you doing? Hurry up and get to the game," McHale scolded.

"No, coach..."Wang Yu came back to his senses slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed ahead, and said with a wry smile: "What's going on?" ”

Hearing this, McHale was slightly stunned and immediately looked in the direction Wang Yu was pointing. The next moment, he also froze in place for a moment.

(Three shifts a day, the first shift today.) )
