บท 19: Chapter 19: Sudden Happiness
"We may not win, but we won't give up easily!"
Adelman said, "My team doesn't allow easy surrender."
Love remained silent. He was the star player of the Timberwolves, but he lacked the aura of a leader.
He could score points on the court, but when it came to turning the tide in a losing situation, he lacked the courage of a leader. For example, now that the team was behind, he remained silent.
Rubio pursed his lips. He wanted to say that he admired Wade Dong and that Wade Dong was his idol.
But saying such things at this moment would hurt the team's morale, so he remained silent like Love.
...
In the second half, the Timberwolves seemed to have given up.
After Wade Dong entered the game, he scored three consecutive three-pointers.
Less than two minutes into the third quarter, Wade Dong had made three out of three three-pointers, bringing the score to 66:39.
The lead had widened to 27 points.
These three three-pointers completely crushed the Timberwolves' spirit.
With 5 minutes left in the third quarter, Adelman benched the starters and brought in the reserves, officially entering garbage time.
Then, Wade Dong and Nash also left the court...
"Wade Dong, do you want to go back in for a bit?"
Coach Gentry smiled and walked over to Wade Dong with the stats sheet, handing it to him.
Wade Dong looked at the stats for the game: 39 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block.
Wade Dong pretended to be confused and asked, "Coach, are you letting me back in because you think I lack game experience and need more practice?"
"No!"
Coach Gentry shook his head, "You've already scored 39 points, and there's still more than a quarter left. You have a chance to score 50 points. Even if you just go in for a bit and score one more basket to reach 40 points, it's still a small achievement."
"Besides, you've just entered the NBA, and anything you do on the court will be forgiven."
Coach Gentry added, trying to ease Wade Dong's concerns so he could go back in and score more points.
If Wade Dong could score 50 points in this game after breaking the NBA's single-quarter scoring record in the previous game, his reputation would be firmly established.
"Scoring during garbage time."
Wade Dong shook his head and laughed, "That's such a shameless thing to do, and you even thought of it?"
"If you don't want to, forget it~"
Coach Gentry felt his good intentions were wasted and left with the stats sheet.
Although Wade Dong didn't appreciate his good intentions, Coach Gentry was actually very happy. Wade Dong was too strong! The Suns might really make the playoffs this year, and even go far in the playoffs.
Originally, with only ten games left in the season, Coach Gentry had given up hope of making the playoffs.
Now, with two consecutive wins, Coach Gentry felt a bit inflated.
"Beep!"
With the referee's whistle, the game ended.
97:81!!!
The Suns defeated the Timberwolves.
Wade Dong scored 39 points and 9 rebounds in the game, including 20 points in the six minutes he played in the third quarter.
The scoring machine, Wade Dong, had made a name for himself in the NBA.
All the teams started paying attention to Wade Dong and were ready to make a move on him. After all, the playoffs were about to start, and after his ten-day short contract, Wade Dong would become a free agent. In theory, all 30 teams had a chance to sign Wade Dong.
The only problem was that Wade Dong didn't have an agent, so anyone who wanted to sign him had to contact him directly.
Unfortunately, Wade Dong's phone was always turned off, and this was at the US Airways Center. Even though scouts from various teams were hiding in the audience, no one dared to poach Wade Dong at the Suns' home court.
...
After the game, Daisy was waiting for Wade Dong at the press conference again.
It seemed that the incident where Wade Dong called the police the other day hadn't bothered her at all. She had adjusted her attitude quickly and was determined to pursue Wade Dong.
"Wade Dong, Daisy is here again. She must be in love with you."
Seeing Daisy, Dudley joked, "Did you see today's Sports Illustrated? You're on the cover. That's an honor reserved for superstars."
Wade Dong: (*?ω?*)??
He didn't know whether to feel happy or annoyed. Wade Dong knew he was handsome, but he didn't expect to be targeted by the heiress of the Shana Media Group so soon after arriving in the US.
What would Li Jiajia think when she found out?
If Li Jiajia got jealous, should Wade Dong beat up Daisy to prove his innocence? After all, he really had nothing to do with Daisy...
Coach Gentry said a few words, and then it was Nash's turn to be interviewed.
Wade Dong pulled Nash aside and said, "Old Nash, let's do the interview together, what do you think?"
"Oh?"
Nash was surprised but then nodded, "Sure."
Originally, Nash would be interviewed first, and then it would be Wade Dong's turn. Now, Wade Dong wanted to do the interview together, which was fine. There was no rule stating who had to be interviewed first.
However, win or lose, being interviewed by reporters was part of a player's professional ethics.
Wade Dong couldn't refuse to be interviewed just because he was annoyed with Daisy. That would give the media a reason to criticize him for being arrogant so soon after entering the league, which was not appropriate.
"Handsome Wade, you were so handsome today. I love you to death."
As soon as Wade Dong sat down, Daisy picked up the microphone.
The heiress of the Shana Media Group spoke, and the other reporters instantly fell silent. No one would dare to steal the spotlight from Daisy at this moment, unless they wanted to be blacklisted in the industry.
"Thank you."
Wade Dong politely thanked her and smiled gently, "Me too."
"You too?!"
The sudden happiness almost knocked Daisy out. She blushed and excitedly said, "You love me to death too?"
Wade Dong shook his head, "You misunderstood. I meant I love myself to death too."
Nash: "..."
What kind of shameless answer was that? Nash also thought Wade Dong was saying he loved Daisy too, but it turned out Wade Dong loved himself.
Daisy was stunned and took a moment to react, pouting and saying, "You will definitely fall in love with me."
This time, it was Wade Dong's turn to be speechless.
This Daisy was really annoying. If she continued to interview like this, Wade Dong estimated he would never have a serious post-game interview in his career.
Wade Dong helplessly asked, "Do you have any questions about the game?"
"No!"
Daisy shook her head firmly, "I just want to talk to you."
Wade Dong was amused, "You should be banned from the industry for being a reporter like this. Since you don't have any questions about the game, I'm leaving."
With that, Wade Dong pulled Nash away.
This left Nash confused. The reporters hadn't even interviewed him yet, and he was just sitting there with Wade Dong for a moment before being pulled away.
After Wade Dong left, Hill came over for the interview.
The entire interview process returned to normal, but Wade Dong's earlier comment about Daisy being banned from the industry scared the reporters. Only Wade Dong would dare to say such a thing. If it were anyone else, they would dare to be angry but not dare to speak out, because the Shana family was the industry leader. Banning someone from the industry in the US was up to the Shana family.
