Chapter 03: Bullfighting
In the sunset, a taxi slowly pulled up in front of a luxurious private villa.
Looking up, the owner of this private villa must be a millionaire, because the huge outdoor swimming pool in the courtyard has demonstrated the owner's net worth and status.
However, Wang Yu didn't seem to feel anything else unusual about everything in front of him, and after getting out of the car, he walked to the door without the slightest hesitation and pressed the doorbell, it seemed that the person he had made an appointment with was in the private villa in front of him.
After a while, a black man in a black dress, about 50 years old, strode over from inside, looking like a butler. After a brief exchange, the black man immediately respectfully introduced Wang Yu into the courtyard.
Passing through the hall, the black man who looked like a butler led Wang Yu straight into a room, where he looked closely, and at this moment there was a black man with a big beard lying on the luxurious and wide sofa. Seeing that the housekeeper brought Wang Yu into the room, the bearded man slowly sat up from the sofa and pointed to the sofa opposite with a smile.
After the black butler left, the bearded man smiled and pushed a glass of red wine in front of Wang Yu, and then broke the silence between the two with a smile. Seeing the black man's actions in his eyes, Wang Yu smiled faintly, and without saying a word, he directly picked up the wine glass and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Wang, you don't know how to taste wine?" The bearded black man looked at Wang Yu strangely.
"It's not that I don't know how to taste wine, it's just that I'm going to rush back later." Wang Yu put down the wine glass with a smile, and continued, "Don't waste time, let's start now." ”
"Haha, it seems that you Asians just like to be in a hurry." The bearded black man shook his head with a smile, took a sip of the wine, and continued, "Don't worry, wait until I finish this glass of wine first." ”
"What do you mean, you want to wait a minute for me?" Wang Yu said coldly.
Perhaps he didn't expect Wang Yu to have such an attitude towards himself, the bearded black man couldn't help but put down the wine glass in his hand and looked straight at Wang Yu when he heard Wang Yu's slightly provocative cold words. However, Wang Yu didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, and also looked straight over.
"Haha, it seems that you really have two brushes, and you dare to talk to me like this, aren't you afraid that I will make you unable to stay in the team?" The bearded black man coldly threatened.
"You don't have to scare me with these words, although I am a rookie in the NBA, I don't play professional basketball for a day or two. Since you want to continue drinking, I'll drink with you again. Wang Yu said and immediately poured himself another full cup.
However, when Wang Yu just wanted to pick up the cup, he was stopped by the bearded black man opposite.
"What? Have you already drunk it? Wang Yu looked up and asked.
"I don't have any ill will to invite you today, I just want to see why Morey is willing to trade a first-round pick for a rookie like you who has never appeared on the professional field." The bearded black man said and stood up.
The next moment, as the bathrobe wrapped around his upper body slowly fell off, his strong and strong muscles were immediately revealed in front of Wang Yu's eyes.
"I'll wait for you at the arena first." Wang Yu got up and said.
"No, let's go together." The bearded black man laughed nonchalantly.
"Don't you have to change your clothes?" Wang Yu was puzzled.
"No, it'll be more comfortable to fight like this for a while." The bearded black man finished speaking, and walked out first.
Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately walked out. However, he smiled in his heart, "If Han Bin knew that he would challenge the star of this team on the first day he signed with the team, I really don't know what kind of frightened expression would appear on his face."
This bearded black man is none other than James Harden, the star of the Houston Rockets.
To be honest, today's competition was actually very surprising to Wang Yu. But at this moment, when he heard Harden say the reason for asking him to come to the game, he had to accept it, because he knew that Harden was standing up to his rookie to show his privileged position as the star of the team.
But then again, although Wang Yu was surprised, he was not afraid in his heart. Because at this time, he not only achieved the miracle of standing on the professional court again, but his mind is much more mature than seven years ago.
If he had changed before, he might have admitted defeat immediately, and he wouldn't dare to fight Harden at all, but now he has long been fearless of everything, and how can he look at it in his eyes after just a competition.
Indoor basketball court.
"Well, you attack first." Harden laughed and threw the basketball in front of Wang Yu.
"Okay, then you're welcome." Wang Yu grabbed the basketball with a smile, and then stood outside the three-point line of the top fox, and immediately put on an offensive posture.
Seeing this, although Harden didn't take Wang Yutai seriously, he immediately put on a defensive posture. But he has already made up his mind in his heart, and he must clean up this Asian boy who doesn't know the height of the sky.
"Wait a minute."
Wang Yu just wanted to dribble and break through, but was suddenly stopped by Harden's voice. Wang Yu was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help frowning.
"Don't get me wrong, I wanted to ask you how we're going to compare. Is it a 10-goal game to win or lose, or a best-of-three game? Harden said with a laugh.
"Whatever, anything." Wang Yu smiled indifferently.
"That's good, we're going to win or lose a game, and we're limited to 10 goals, okay?" Harden made up his mind to blow up the Asian man in one game.
"Okay, listen to you." Wang Yu nodded.
"Okay, let the horses come over, let me see how many catties you have as an Asian boy." After Harden finished speaking, he immediately took a step back.
Seeing Harden put on a posture of letting himself break through, Wang Yu smiled coldly in his heart, he knew that Harden did this to make it clear that he didn't believe that he could break through his Harden's defense at his speed. Thinking of this, Wang Yu immediately put away the sneer in his heart, and after a few quick crotch dribbles, he jumped a step outside the three-point line.
Wang Yu's actions were obviously unexpected by Harden, and he didn't understand why the Asian kid in front of him would dribble the ball to death immediately. Without having time to think about it, Harden immediately instinctively took a step forward, and at the same time raised his hand high to block in front of Wang Yu.
"Aren't you going to grab the ball?" Wang Yu asked with a sneer.
"No, you'll be in violation in 5 seconds." Harden smiled dismissively.
"Aren't you afraid I'll shoot three points?" Wang Yu said with a smile.
"Hmph, you Asians don't have that long range." When Harden thought of the key point, he actually put down his hands and looked at Wang Yu with a smile, as if to say, 'If you have the ability, you will vote'.
"Then you can try it."
Harden's ignorance somewhat aroused the anger in Wang Yu's heart, and as soon as the words fell, he immediately jumped straight up. Under Harden's disdainful gaze, he threw the basketball in his hand in a dashing manner.
Brush...
The next moment, before Harden could let out a mocking sneer, there was a crisp sound of a basketball passing through the net behind him.
"How?" Wang Yu asked with a smile.
"It's just luck, it's not a big deal." Harden's face was still full of disdain, and he grabbed another basketball and threw it to Wang Yu.
"Do you know why you haven't been able to lead the Rockets to the second round of the playoffs for so many years?" Wang Yu didn't rush to make a second attack, and asked with a sneer.
"You're not qualified to speak of me yet. Don't you know I was the league's leading scorer last season? Harden said coldly.
"Of course I know you're invincible in the regular season." Wang Yu said and saw a hint of smugness flashing in Harden's eyes, smiled coldly in his heart, and changed his words: "But in the playoffs, you don't seem to score more than 20 points in a game, right?" ”
"Hmph, you know the. Have you ever played in the NBA playoffs? Do you know what a fierce confrontation it was? Harden said disdainfully.
"Of course I haven't, but I know that everyone you defend gets more points than you, right?" Wang Yu said with a sneer.
"What do you mean? Are you laughing at my defense? Harden said fiercely.
"Yes, it's your defense. You've been a league superstar over the years, but have you ever been on the All-Defensive Team once? Wang Yu pursed his lips and continued: "In my opinion, the reason why the Rockets have never traded you is mainly because they value your market appeal. When it comes to defense, I'm afraid you can't even compare to Jeremy Lin on the team, huh. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you'll know in a moment whether my defense is good or not." Harden's eyes widened in annoyance, and he said angrily: "If you have a kind of breakthrough, try to see if I will destroy you." ”
"Okay, let me see how good your NBA superstar's defense really is."
Before the words fell, Wang Yu immediately broke through to the left with a large change of direction. Seeing this, Harden, who had already been enraged by Wang Yu's words, immediately moved his body and blocked Wang Yu's way, and the speed of his steps was far beyond Wang Yu's imagination.
The next moment, the muscles of the two collided together, and Wang Yu immediately clearly felt the strong explosiveness on Harden's body. Thinking of this, Wang Yu didn't dare to be careless, and immediately re-observed the loopholes in Harden's defense while tightly protecting the basketball.

………
Twilight falls, and the sun sets.
At this moment, Han Bin, who was in San Antonio, was pacing back and forth anxiously in the room.
Wang Yu's delay in coming back made him very worried, he was really afraid that Wang Yu would have an accident outside, after all, anything could happen in this ghost place in the United States. However, just when Han Bin lost his patience again and was about to try to call Wang Yu's phone again, suddenly Wang Yu pushed the door from outside and walked in.
"Where have you been, why don't you turn on your phone?" Han Bin complained.
"It's okay, I saw a friend go." Wang Yu smiled and shook his somewhat sore arm, and sat on the sofa.
"Why are your clothes all wet? What the hell did you do? Han Bin noticed the strangeness on Wang Yu's body, frowned and asked.
"Hehe, that friend also likes to play basketball, and I practiced with him for a while." Wang Yu said perfunctorily with a smile.
"If you don't say it, forget it."
Han Bin didn't believe the explanation given by Wang Yu at all, but he didn't seem to want to ask any further, so he changed his words: "I have saved the information about Team Rocket to the computer for you, and I will read it when I have time, it may be helpful for you to integrate into the team as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, I'll watch it after a shower." Wang Yu stood up as he spoke, then left Han Bin and walked straight into the bathroom.
"It seems that you really don't treat me as an outsider anymore, and you are so unkind to me, hehe." Watching Wang Yu slam the wooden door of the bathroom shut, Han Bin smiled bitterly, and then turned around and left Wang Yu's residence.

………
In the luxurious living room, Harden is sitting on the sofa at the moment, with a pair of eyes looking straight at the images on the TV in front of him.
In the video, as a young man with a sinking face once again projected a long-range three-point shot in his hand, the audience immediately fell into complete madness.
Looking at it, a strange light suddenly flashed in Harden's eyes, and then a puzzling smile quietly crept up the corners of his mouth.
"Wang, I'm really getting more and more interested in you..."
