201: [Champagne Smells a Bit Strange]

"Amazing!! The Chinese kid won a quadruple-double, Iverson scored 58 points and is still powerless!"

"Crazy! Self-throwing, self-dunk lore, fatal block and quadruple-double, Snoopy completed the miracle night!"

"Greatest regular season performance ever by the Miami Heat, Snoopy has become a myth!"

"Mr. the youngest triple-double in history? No, it's a quadruple-double now!!"

"The era of Iverson is over, now let's shout long live to Snoopy!!"

"Dwyane Wade's injury will bring huge changes to Miami. Maybe when he returns from injury, Miami will already be in the top three in the Eastern Conference!"

"..."

Doug sat on the sofa and flipped through the newspapers from three days ago. Whether it was world-class media such as "New York Times" or "Washington Post", or local newspapers in Miami, they all gave themselves the best compliments . In fact, the league officials also vigorously publicized this matter that day, and it was even more heated in distant Asia.

In China, he is even called a national hero.

Obtaining such glorious data in the highest hall of basketball is a matter of pride for both Asians and Chinese.

This kind of public opinion guidance made Lin Weiwei extremely excited. She called Duge five times a day to report good business news.

Doug seems indifferent to this. What he wants to solve now is not a few zeros in the bank account, but to make his shooting percentage look a little better.

On the second day after the dinner, Pat Riley determined the core position of the Doug team in the team's internal meeting and gave him absolute control.

However, in his first game as the core of the team, he played very poorly. Against the Boston Celtics' tight defense, he made just one of 11 shots. Due to his weakness on the offensive end, his support assists have also become weak. In the end, the Boston Celtics took the victory with a 112:80 slaughter at the American Airlines Center.

"Would you like a cup of black tea?"

Selena Gomez's voice came from behind: "Miley brought this back from England."

"No thanks."

Doug smiled.

He stood up and was ready to go out to the arena. Tonight, the Heat will face the challenge of the New Orleans Hornets at home.

"I will probably stay at your house for another three days." Selena said with a smile: "In return, I will cook you the most delicious food... I am definitely more proficient in cooking than Miley Cyrus .”

"OK, all right."

Duge nodded, and then walked out with the basketball bag.

Selena lived in Snoopy's house at the same time as Miley Cyrus, but when Miley Cyrus left, she still lived here and had no intention of moving out.

Of course, Duge would not take the initiative to drive her away. Although he felt that it was not appropriate for a man and a widow to live in the same room.

But Selena is a nice person, she has a good sense of humor and is good at telling bad jokes. This allows Doug to always get a few hearty laughs after a busy day: he's been in desperate need of a laugh lately. Not only do they encounter problems in their careers, but they are also at a fork in the road emotionally.

Therefore, it is not a bad thing to have someone to accompany you.

"By the way, when can you invite me to watch a game?" Selena's voice chased after her.

"Tonight, if you have time," Doug replied with a smile.

"Tonight? Not tonight, I have to shoot the cover of the new album." Selena replied: "Tomorrow night."

"Okay, tomorrow night happens to be the Chinese Derby."

Doug waved to her and drove his pickup truck to the American Airlines Center arena.

"Hey, Snoopy. Did you watch Carmelo Anthony's interview today?" Michael Beasley showed off the newspaper to him the first time he saw Doug in the locker room: "The Nuggets dogs The mother-in-law admits to being cowardly. I have said long ago that when dealing with those kind of bastards, you have to use your fists to let them know... those who offend us with a single word are in danger."

Doug reached for the newspaper, and Carmelo Anthony made it clear when he addressed the 'legendary locker room clash': "We did have some unpleasant things happen after the game, but it didn't matter. We're all men, Men are always used to solving problems in a man's way. Snoopy has won our respect both on and off the field. Next time he comes to Denver, or we go to Miami, we will be willing to play with him before or after the game. Have a drink or two later."

"You know, none of us are without manners, we appreciate the strong!"

Carmelo Anthony said in reports that the Nuggets have reached an internal agreement. Things about the locker room will never be mentioned publicly, and at the same time, they show respect for Snoopy.

He even said eleven Respets in a row!

Doug raised his eyebrows, and he handed the newspaper to Beasley.

Regarding this matter, Duge had already turned the page in his mind. "Man, the most important thing for us now is to beat the New Orleans Hornets led by Chris Paul."

Beasley said nonchalantly, "Isn't it enough to just leave the basketball to me?"

The No. 2 guy always takes things too simply. His so-called winning method is always... If 20 shots can't kill the opponent, then I will take 40 shots.

So, in the game tonight. He managed 27 shots. But under the defense of James Posey, he only scored 19 points.

This efficiency led to the team's sudden decline in the third quarter. The Heat, who had always maintained their lead, were overtaken by the Hornets by 17 points in a single quarter.

In the end, Chris Paul led the team to a 109:99 victory with 22 points and 13 assists.

Doug scored 8 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks in this game. He is the only player with positive efficiency in the Heat.

But after the game, Pat Riley found him alone: ​​"Snoopy. I am very dissatisfied with your performance tonight. You should take more shots instead of handing over the basketball to Michael Beasley to single out the opponent. line of defense, understand?"

"You are the core of us. Now that Dwyane is lying in the hospital bed, we need you to stand up and take everything."

"You have to carry the team up."

"I hope the team is still in the top six in the Eastern Conference before the All-Star break."

Pat Riley's words were very serious.

This put more pressure on Doug.

when he returns home. Spoelstra asks Pat Riley: "Are we being too hard on him?"

"I don't think so. Real stars are polished like this." Pat Riley said seriously.

...

Back home, Selena Gomez was ready for supper.

The steak she cooked was indeed better than Miley Cyrus in terms of taste, and she also bought a bottle of champagne that matched the taste of the steak. This relieves Doug some pressure on the taste buds.

Selena was very empathetic, as if she knew Doug was in a bad mood: "I watched you play at home. Your two blocks were great. You caught the layup of No. 3 player directly off the backboard." Come down. And that guy named Tyson, he was even thrown out of the air by you to the ground."

Seeing Duge just smiled and didn't speak, Selena continued: "The preview on TV said that you will face Yao Huang tomorrow night? That's the number one giant in the NBA!"

"Yeah." Doug nodded, and then said, "I've booked your ticket for you. You just need to call Tom tomorrow, and he will take you in personally."

"That's great." Selina nodded.

Her eyes were fixed on Snoopy all the time.

"Do you think this champagne tastes a little weird?"

she asked again suddenly.

Duge drank the champagne in the glass, shook his head, and replied, "Not at all!"

Then, three minutes later... Plop!

Doug's heavy head landed on the dining table with a loud bang.

...
