Chapter 255: A Cruel Choice
Hearing Jessica Chen's words, Wang Shuang was stunned.
He thought that Miss Chen's gloomy face was going to break up with him.
Unexpectedly, all this was acted.
Jessica Chen wants to marry Wang Shuang.
Although in most cases, it is the man who proposes to the woman.
But it is not impossible for an active woman to ask for marriage to the man she loves.
In the relationship between Wang Shuang and Jessica Chen.
Jessica Chan has always been enthusiastic and proactive.
A sudden marriage proposal after this cooldown.
This enthusiasm has reached a peak.
But Wang Shuang was a little caught off guard.
It can be seen that Jessica Chen has carefully arranged the home.
She must have put a lot of thought into it.
When she came back from distant Europe, she always remembered Wang Shuang.
Seeing the scandal between Wang Shuang and An Jiali, she hid it.
Instead, he took the initiative to ask Wang Shuang for marriage, which was really touching.
Of course, Wang Shuang was also moved, but he felt strange in his heart.
He stared at Jessica Chan with nothing but tenderness in his eyes.
There was even a hint of hesitation.
Wang Shuang didn't agree immediately.
His eyes gradually looked away.
Jessica Chen's hand holding Wang Shuang slowly loosened.
The original smile faded away, replaced by worry.
Jessica Chan sat back on the couch, and Wang sat down beside her.
"You don't want to get married yet, do you?"
Jessica Chan asked cautiously.
Ms. Chan is a straightforward person.
Today, I held back my request to marry Wang Shuang.
It's the best play she's ever played.
After seeing the "scandal" between Wang Shuang and An Jiali in the media.
Jessica Chan doesn't have too many doubts.
She trusts Wang Shuang's character very much.
And the estrangement and apathy in recent days are in addition to work reasons.
Part of the reason is that Jessica Chan wants to propose directly to Wang Shuang.
When the time comes, all misunderstandings and coldness will be resolved.
It's just a matter of ice release, isn't it?
But emotional matters don't seem to be so simple.
Seeing the hesitation in Wang Shuang's eyes.
Miss Chen's heart felt like she had been pricked by a needle.
The dignity of a woman tells her to be proud.
If a woman asks a man to marry.
That's definitely putting your dignity to the minimum.
I also love the other half to the bones.
But if you can't get a response.
She didn't know what to do.
Jessica Chan wants to get out of here.
Leave.
Leave Los Angeles, leave the United States.
Go straight to Europe and never come back.
Wang Shuang saw the intention in Miss Chen's eyes.
When Jessica Chan was about to get up from the couch.
One grabbed her hand, and the other held her arm to prevent her from getting up.
When he realized that Wang Shuang was going to stop himself.
Miss Chen was even more about to leave.
She struggled, biting her lip with tears in her eyes.
"Listen to me."
Of course, Miss Chen couldn't break free from Wang Shuang's big hands.
The big black guys in the NBA don't necessarily break free.
What's more, what about the weak and flimsy Jessica Chen?
"Listen to me." Wang Shuang said it again.
This phrase often appears in TV dramas.
made Wang Shuang feel that he was very stupid at the moment.
Because when I used to watch TV.
I saw a misunderstanding between the male and female protagonists.
The woman wants to leave, and the man wants to stay.
The man kept saying, "You listen to me." ”
The woman kept saying, "I don't listen." ”
After that, the man never said it.
The woman didn't ask.
The two let the misunderstanding get bigger and deeper.
The later plots are getting more and more bloody.
Wang Shuang feels that he is now like the leading actor in a TV series.
But at this time, he somewhat understands those male protagonists.
It turns out that there are some things that really can't be explained just by trying to explain.
For example, in front of him, what should Wang Shuang say?
Said that he promised Jessica Chan and was willing to marry him?
Wang Shuang had really thought so before.
One day, he and Miss Chen entered the palace of marriage.
But the longer the two are together.
The thinner this idea becomes.
It's not because the two have a bad relationship.
Except for some coldness recently, the relationship between the two has been very stable.
However, as time went by, the idea of marriage became weaker and weaker in Wang Shuang's heart.
From time to time, he recalls his family life as a child.
For as long as I can remember, parents have been an endless quarrel.
Sometimes there are even fights.
When he was younger, Wang Shuang would cry.
When Wang Shuang was older, he turned a blind eye to his parents' noise.
He would even close the door and do his homework silently.
Or put on headphones and sit on the bed and listen quietly.
Weekends if both parents are at home.
He would choose to take a basketball to school and play for a day.
The result of his parents' marriage is his Wang Shuang.
As for the marriage itself, Wang Shuang did not see a little happiness.
Later, the two separated and started their own families.
It is said that it was also noisy and not harmonious.
Wang Shuang has no interest in his half-siblings, half-siblings, or anything.
After Wang Shuang's fame was raised, he was naturally harassed.
Wang Shuang has always kept his distance from the door.
I thought about whether I would tell my parents if I got married.
Are they still coming to the United States for a wedding?
Wang Shuang felt shuddered.
He'd rather face James Gacurry in the Finals.
I don't want to face his parents, and my head explodes.
But these are difficult for Wang Shuang to explain to Jessica Chen.
Jessica Chen's parents died early.
She grew up with her grandfather.
The family is still warm in general.
After falling out with relatives such as uncles.
Jessica Chan feels even more lonely.
So she really wanted to have a family.
She's not young anymore.
Otherwise, he would not let go of the arrogance of a woman and took the initiative to tell Wang Shuang that he wanted to get married.
Wang Shuang knows all this.
For a moment he didn't know how to explain it.
He was afraid that he would not be able to explain it clearly.
And I'm afraid that my words will hurt Jessica.
I'm even more afraid that if I don't say it well, I'll lose Jessica.
The vast living room fell into a terrible silence.
Jessica Chan couldn't break free of Wang Shuang's hands.
But I couldn't hear Wang Shuang's explanation.
She felt her legs go limp.
But she didn't want to fall into Wang Shuang's arms.
The phone rings at the right time.
It was Wang Shuang's, he took a look, and Pelinka called.
Wang Shuang didn't answer.
Jessica Chen said: "Your phone rings, go answer the phone." ”
Wang Shuang shook his head: "No, you can't go." ”
Jessica Chen took a deep breath and said, "I'm not leaving, you go and answer the phone." ”
Wang Shuang looked at Jessica Chen, and only after getting a determined look did he let go of his hand.
Jessica Chan did not leave, but sat on the couch.
Look at the bustling night view of Los Angeles outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
In fact, before making this decision, Jessica Chen was worried in her heart.
She asked herself: "Do you really want to marry Wang Shuang?" Or do you just feel too lonely when you're old? ”
Some of my girlfriends and friends are married and some are divorced.
Some have been divorced twice and married three times.
Among Americans, people in the big cities of the West Coast are quite open to marriage.
But there are also some that are very conservative.
Especially minorities.
For example, the Greeks, the Jews.
This also includes the Chinese.
Jessica Chan is cautious about marriage.
But this time the impulse and enthusiasm hurt her.
She watched as Wang Shuang and Pelinka finished their phone call.
Wang Shuang came over and said, "Pelinka gave me an endorsement, I'm thinking about whether to..."
"Come on, you've pushed down too many endorsements before. You're a superstar and should have plenty of exposure. You don't know how important the media is, they can make you or destroy you. ”
Jessica Chan seems to have recovered from the failed proposal just now.
She gave Wang Shuang's advice very calmly.
Wang Shuang wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, he suddenly regretted why he wanted to date Anjiali the day before yesterday.
But if you think about it, is it really a dating thing?
"I see, I'll call back and talk to Pelinka."
Subsequently, the various decorations in the living room did not move.
Wang Shuang and Jessica Chen went back to their room to rest after washing.
Before, the two only slept in the same bed.
It must be thunder and fire.
Unleash endless passion and love.
That night, the two lay on opposite sides of the bed.
No one moved, and nothing was said.
Quiet and dreary night.
Wang Shuang wanted to say something.
But sleepiness and exhaustion soon enveloped him.
He fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, Jessica Chan was no longer around.
Today, the team was rested, and Wang Shuang did not get up early to train.
He hurriedly looked at the message on his phone.
"Wang, I flew to New York at noon, and I have a brand business problem to deal with. I think there are a lot of things we have to calm down and think about it, and time will give us the answer. ”
Wang Shuang scratched his head and let out a long sigh.
Such an outcome could be expected by him.
Maybe the two really need to separate and reconfirm their feelings for each other.
Wang Shuang is not the kind of person who can be emotionally swayed too much.
He replied with a message to Jessica Chen.
Then I got up, eaten, and threw myself into today's training.
The Lakers will continue to play in Los Angeles these days.
Nov. 20 against the Chicago Bulls.
On December 22, he faced the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Then, on the 23rd and 25th, two consecutive games against the Golden State Warriors.
The pressure on this schedule can be quite high.
Wang Shuang and Durant are under pressure just as much.
The storm caused by the previous Bonnie Carter article has not yet dissipated.
Wang Shuang proved himself with his super scoring performance.
But in the face of the Spurs' defeat, people questioned him more.
"It's still too weak to hold the ball and can't hit Leonard at all."
"Without Kobe, Wang Shuang's cancer style is completely inadequate."
"When the tide recedes, you don't know who is swimming naked, Wang Shuang is a poisonous tumor, and he is even more poisonous than Wei Shao."
"This season, the Lakers are expected to reach the Western Conference finals, and then be killed by the Warriors neatly."
"Indeed, the Warriors are so powerful that people are desperate."
The forum was full of distrust of Wang Shuang.
Of course, mainly because of the strength of the warriors.
So far, the Warriors have only lost one game to the Spurs.
In the later matches, the other teams simply don't see the possibility of beating them.
"It's hard to come up with even the slightest idea of beating them."
The devastating effects of James joining the Warriors are beginning to be felt.
The Lakers beat the Bulls and the Thunder are still not a big problem.
As long as Wang Shuang and Durant are on the line.
The rest of the Lakers players are at a good level of competition.
In the regular season encounters, the Lakers beat them nine times out of ten.
119:110, 9 points advantage to take the Bulls.
131:112, a 19-point advantage over the Thunder.
The Lakers' defense is porous though.
But the good thing is that it is gradually turning into stability.
And the Lakers' offense is strong enough.
Let the opponent score 110 points?
No problem, can't I win with 120 points?
Wang Shuang and Durant completely let go of the right to fire.
A burst of indiscriminate bombardment of the opponent, a team with ordinary qualifications can't resist it at all.
However, on November 23, back-to-back Oracle challenged the Warriors.
This is after the first round of the Western Conference last season.
Wang Shuang returned to Oracle Arena for the first time.
Warriors fans gave Wang Shuang the highest treatment.
When the appearance was introduced, the fans cheered.
This is a kind of respect and admiration for the winner.
But wait until the game starts.
The fans did not hesitate to boo Wang Shuang at all.
The Warriors are holding back their strength tonight to fight the Lakers to the end.
In the first half, the two sides were evenly matched, and it was difficult to solve.
By the third quarter, the Warriors were routinely starting to push their way.
Under the leadership of James and Curry, the Warriors played a fluid offense.
What's more, the Warriors showed their unique defense of Wang Shuang:
Use Curry to defend Wang Shuang.
Curry's defense of Wang Shuang has a trick - dead stickers.
Only focus on the ball in Wang's hands, and don't care about anything else.
Then, the rest is left to the Warriors' ultra-luxurious frontline.
In certain rounds of the match.
Wang Shuang seemed to have fallen into a huge trap.
Suddenly, passing, throwing, all failed!
The moment he got the ball, Wang Shuang felt that he had nowhere to escape.
In this quarter, the Warriors scored 41 points in a single quarter.
And only allowed the Lakers to score 26 points.
And in the fourth quarter, the Warriors didn't want to stop at all.
They scored 43 points in a single quarter!
It was 2 more points than in the third quarter.
In the end, the Warriors were 151-122 at home.
A huge 29-point margin swept the Lakers.
The 151 points set a single-game scoring record this season.
The Lakers trailed from the beginning of the first quarter until the end of the game.
Not a single turnaround point has occurred.
Wang Shuang and Durant both scored 30 points.
But it seemed so insignificant under the terrifying attack of the warriors.
James had a triple-double and Curry hit seven three-pointers.
It was a hearty victory.
And that's not the end of it.
Because only two days later.
The Lakers and the Warriors started a rematch.
The venue is back at the Stamp Center.
This time the Lakers were eager for revenge and made careful preparations before the game.
In the first quarter, the two sides fell into a defensive quagmire.
Scott realized that there was no future for him to fight the Warriors offensively.
But Kerr said it didn't work to fight the Warriors defensively.
In this era where the front line is king.
The Warriors have three All-Star calibres and a supergiant forward.
It's their most terrible weapon.
At 21:22 in the first quarter, the Warriors led by one point.
In the second quarter, the Lakers overtook and ended 44:42 at halftime.
In the third quarter, the Warriors once again sacrificed Curry's defensive double routine.
One defense and four staring, staring at Wang Shuang to death.
In just one day.
Wang Shuang and the Lakers coaching staff simply couldn't figure out a way to crack it.
Curry's task is simple, which is to stay close to Wang Shuang.
Nothing else, but Green, James, Iguodala and Thompson went to deal with Wang Shuang.
This defensive style greatly magnifies the flaws of Wang's double-ball offense.
At the same time, it greatly reduces Curry's weakness on the defensive end.
Use your own softest shield to deal with the opponent's hardest spear.
I have to say, this is a brilliant trick.
The best part, of course, is that the Warriors have four top-tier forwards.
Of these four people, which team has a great improvement in strength.
There are four warriors, how can this be fought?
In the third quarter, the Warriors directly pressed the Lakers to only 18 points.
After establishing the advantage again, the Warriors never lost the initiative again.
In the end, 100-91, the Warriors defeated the Lakers by 9 points.
In this game, the Warriors used defense.
Two games in a row, back-to-back double defeats Lakers.
The Warriors have shown to be fearsome in their game.
One is offensive, the other is defensive.
It is even more showy that the scalp is numb.
Instead, the Lakers lost back-to-back to the Spurs and Warriors.
One has to wonder, is the West really the world of the Lakers and Warriors?
"Overestimating the Lakers, I think the West is a battle between the Spurs and the Warriors. The Lakers couldn't beat the other two. On the contrary, the Spurs can now win against the Warriors and the Lakers, which is really underestimating the Spurs. ”
"The Spurs are really cowhide, and I feel that this year's Western Conference may be the Spurs vs. the Warriors."
"Needless to say, the current state must be the Spurs and the Warriors, and the Lakers are in such a bad state."
"The Lakers are not in bad shape, they are bad defensively, and the Lakers' defense is hopeless."
"It's not going to be eighth in the playoffs, is it? There won't be a Black Eight Miracle this time......"
After the game, all kinds of doubts came.
Neither the Lakers nor Wang responded to these questions.
Because after the game, everyone summed it up: it really can't be beaten.
The strength of the warriors made everyone lose confidence a little.
Durant after his trilogy with the Warriors.
I swiped Twitter on my phone for a while.
The expression on his face was complicated.
Now he must be thinking: I wish I had joined the Warriors in the first place.
James and me are the same championship material!
Now it's okay, when it comes to the Lakers, it's still the second oldest.
Maybe you won't be able to win the championship, so what's the matter?
It is said that choice is more important than hard work, and it seems that this is the case.
Saying this, James is still amazing, and he chose to do it really well.
Wang Shuang felt the pressure of being the boss at this time.
Once they started losing, the team was unstable.
Du Lao Er was always thinking about backstabbing, and he was full of complaints.
Veterans like Joe Johnson are not easy to deal with either.
He came to the Lakers to win the championship.
As a result, the starting position is gone.
Playing time is not guaranteed.
And then you can't beat the Warriors.
The young players are already thinking about lying down when they get their contracts.
Anyway, if you can't beat the Warriors, it's better to brush up on the data and finish a season to pull it down.
It's good to wait until the contract year to exert force.
And the sixth man before like Lowe.
Recently, it has been embroiled in deal rumors.
As a result, his state has taken a bit of a hit.
The atmosphere in the dressing room after the game was dull and subtle.
Once there is disunity and even quarrels and contradictions.
The morale of the team will plummet.
This in turn affects the form of the whole season.
Last season, Bryant was in charge.
Wang Shuang, as an airborne soldier, has a catfish effect.
Now Wang Shuang has snatched the boss.
You're going to take charge yourself, so where does the catfish come from?
How can there be so many catfish stirring up the situation?
And the Lakers don't even have much time to learn from the lessons.
After a day off, the Lakers welcomed the Hawks.
Fortunately, this eagle is not the 60-win eagle of 15 years.
It's the Warcraft Eagle that owns Howard.
Howard is clearly on the verge of being obsolete from the times.
The Lakers have no problem beating them.
112:100, easily defeated the Eagles.
Victory can temporarily alleviate some of the problems.
But the Lakers' goal is not to beat the Hawks.
It's about beating all teams, all.
That's the brutality of the NBA.
Once you've won the championship.
Then you have only one choice: take another one.
