Chapter 61: Two Letters of Invitation
"Whew! Swish! Swish! ”
Under the bright light stood a slender figure, and one after another basketballs were flying out of his raised hands, making beautiful sounds again and again as they passed through the net. As the last basketball on the rack in front of him drilled into the net, the constantly rising net also stopped shaking, and the entire training ground suddenly fell silent.
"It deserves to be the feel of 85 points......"
Ding Wei smiled, even if it is training, it is rare to hit all 50 balls, the last game with the bonus of Hawkeye, not only let him taste the joy of defeating a strong opponent again, but also let him earn a lot of money in energy points and additional attribute points, especially the data related to shooting is mushrooming up, especially the three-point shot has reached the overall attribute of 75+10, in other words, he now has the strength to compete with any three-point player in the league.
Ding Wei pushed the ball stand to the basketball scattered on the floor, this ball stand is much larger than the general ball rack, and it is divided into several layers, all of which can be put down 50 balls, whenever the basketball on the first floor is finished, as long as you gently pull the handle on one side of the ball rack, the next layer full of balls will automatically rise, which can be called a necessary artifact for the mouse in the arena.
When Woody pushed this thing from the pantry to him for the first time, Ding Wei was really surprised, he didn't expect this weird-looking but extremely practical thing to come from the hands of an uncle who was so fat that he looked like his brain was filled with fat, which reminded him of another person thousands of miles away, in his few childhood memories of the toys that he could get his hands on, all of them were made by his father, at that time he had a dragon slayer knife in his left hand, a sword in his right hand, a green military hat on his head, and two match guns in his waist, is so handsome in a group of friends, just like a ...... in the dark
"Ding Dong!"
A Twitter chime interrupted Ding Wei's thoughts, and he quickly took out his phone.
The Giant Killer is a guest in Cleveland! Can the 76ers stage a counterattack miracle in a row?
Ding Wei licked his lips that were a little dry, LeBron James, I'm finally going to meet you on the field.
In the last game, Ding Wei was unable to play due to injury, resulting in the 76ers missing an important firepower point against the Cavaliers, but fortunately, the Cavaliers' losses were even greater, and a series of mid-season trades, coupled with the absence of James and Kelly Irving, allowed them to only discharge the starting lineup of Mike Miller, Dellavedova, and Joe Harris, and finally the 76ers narrowly and narrowly took a 3-point lead from the quick loan center with a victory. In the upcoming game, the Cavaliers have the advantage of being at home with the strong return of the Big Three, which also makes fans who were optimistic about the 76ers dare not have too many extravagant hopes.
Ding Wei hastily browsed the text and then turned off Twitter, now I think that these have no eggs are useless, it is better to practice another set of shots at that time, with the continuous improvement of his shooting, and the equipment support provided by Woody, Ding Wei's time in shooting training is also constantly shortening, at the beginning he needs to shoot at least about 70 three-pointers to be able to hit 50, and now the worst state is only about 60. He was about to put his phone back in his satchel when he heard another crisp beep on his phone.
The invitation list of the All-Star Three-Point Contest is released, and the Chinese rookie is expected to become the biggest dark horse!
"Huh? An invitation letter was issued on the 28th of last month...... It's been four or five days.,It seems that the postal efficiency of the United States is not very good.,Hey,It seems that something is wrong? ”
Ding Wei, who suddenly came to his senses, immediately dialed the mobile phone, only rang once, and then heard Zheng Meng's voice on the other end of the phone, which seemed to be a little lazy compared to usual: "Hey...... What time is it......"
Ding Wei was stunned for a moment, but still looked at the time on his phone and replied: "4:16 pm." ”
"I slept for 7 hours...... Forget it, I can't sleep anyway, what's the matter? ”
"That's not the point, when did you change to hibernation?"
"Writing Papers All Night ......"
"Okay......" Ding Wei followed Zheng Meng's words a few more words before finishing the business, only to hear Zheng Meng on the other end of the phone pat his thigh: "See you in a while." Then he hung up.
"This efficiency is really good." Ding Wei muttered, and was a little busy picking up his satchel and heading out of the training hall.
……
"DelFrisco's, I guess that's right." Forty minutes later, Ding Wei was dressed up in front of a famous steakhouse on Chestnut Street, adjacent to Philadelphia's busiest business and convention center, but one of the city's most historic and artistic locations, and not far to the northeast is the magnificent City Hall, on which stands a bronze statue of William Paine, the father of Philadelphia, who has been quietly guarding this ancient and vibrant city for hundreds of years at the top of this building. Looking due south, the famous Kimmel Performing Arts Center is a city where many tourists are hurrying to this musical and charming art palace, and the crowded streets are dotted with clusters of freshly snowed trees, which are not as uniform as the street trees in many cities in China, but have a natural charm. The dreary night slowly penetrated with the cold wind blowing across the face, and the air was a little sweet and dry. The hustle and bustle and tranquility of the proximity and distinction make up a romantic evening in an exotic country.
As soon as Ding Wei entered the door, he saw Zheng Meng who was waving to him, and hurriedly walked over and sat down opposite her:
"You're too resolute, aren't you......"
"Where, where, just suddenly want to eat this steak, you know that this kind of place does compare what it is to come alone, right?" Zheng Meng smiled with crooked eyebrows and eyes, with a tender and sweet childish demeanor, and she really thought that it was her boyfriend who was sitting opposite.
"Huh." Ding Wei smiled embarrassedly, in fact, it was not the first time he had topped the bag when he encountered this situation, especially when some restaurants launched some exclusive promotions for couples, but now he always felt that Zheng Meng's attitude towards him seemed to have some subtle changes, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"You don't seem to be in a high mood, you smile so reservedly, come, give the old lady another smile, the old lady has a lot of rewards for smiling well." Zheng Meng took out two envelopes from his satchel, one was a relatively formal ordinary postal envelope, and the other was a bit bells and whistles, looking like a graffiti.
"Hey, this is ......" Ding Weibu reached out to take it curiously, but was glared at by Zheng Meng, and retracted his hand a little sneeringly.
"Laugh one, laugh one and I'll give it to you." Zheng Meng copied the envelope in his hand, and instantly returned to his smiling appearance and said to Ding Wei.
"Hey."
"No, another one."
"Huh."
"Big brother, can you take a snack?"
"Hey." After Ding Wei finished laughing, he was even helpless, he had no acting skills.
"Forget it, it's not difficult for you," Seeing that Ding Wei laughed a few times in a row, Zheng Meng rolled his eyes, and gave up his plan to continue to pursue Ding Wei with some interest, "Well, it's a bit hard work without credit." She gently pushed the two envelopes to Ding Wei's hand, her plump and neat nails glowing with a crystal luster under the dim light, when did this Nizi love to dress up?
"Thank you, Lord Long." Looking at the shiny nails, Ding Wei's mind couldn't help but think of Zheng Meng sitting in front of the dresser, smearing his nails like painting a winter tree, and couldn't help but smile.
"Hey, this time it's not bad, it's kind of interesting." Zheng Meng was also happy, revealing two rows of shell-like teeth.
"You can order whatever you want to eat, I bought this order today," Ding Wei threw the menu at hand to Zheng Meng, picked up an envelope and opened it, pulled out the letter paper inside, looked at it, and nodded, "Okay, I'll say I'm sure they sent it to the address I registered with the team before." ”
"What?"
Ding Wei flipped over the letter paper with some stinky farts and showed it to Zheng Meng as if he were taking a listing announcement.
"Okay, you're all in the All-Star Weekend so soon, when is the game? In what place? Do you have a ticket? I'm so busy that I forgot about watching you play. Zheng Meng gave Ding Wei a punch across the table, and at the critical moment, Fang showed his true colors.
"Time is ...... On the night of the 14th, the venue is in New York, and the tickets are not available for the time being, but you should be able to get them. ”
"Valentine's Day...... Hey, that's kind of interesting. Zheng Meng smiled evilly and raised his eyebrows at Ding Wei, and Ding Wei's heart suddenly suddenly, he didn't dare to pick up this stubble.
"What, do you have any opinions on the old lady, right, or, it's not very convenient?"
"It's convenient, it's convenient," Ding nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, "I just don't know if it's convenient for you." ”
"Originally, there was an event in the academy...... But every year, I've been tired of playing those shows for a long time, so I'll forget it, remember to give me the ticket when the time comes, if you dare to forget, hum. Zheng Meng's eyes narrowed slightly, Ding Wei knew that once she showed this kind of expression in front of people, it meant that there must be some fool who was going to be unlucky.
"Don't dare, don't dare ......"
"It's decided." Zheng Meng glanced at him again, lowered his head to study the menu in his hand, Ding Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully tore another envelope along the corner, a card-like cardboard fell out, and the graffiti on the cover was in the same style as the envelope, Ding Wei opened it and was stunned.
"To Mr. David Ding, who loves music as much as I do, the unplugged concert will be held on February 14 from 23:00 to 4:00 the next day at the Green-point Music Bar in Brooklyn, New York. We look forward to welcoming you there. Yours sincerely, Taylor Swift. ”
Is this the rhythm of the gods?
