Chương 29: Chapter 29: The Future is Yours
After the game, Duncan walked up to Wade Dong and patted his head, "The future is yours!"
"Hmm???"
Wade Dong glanced at Ginobili's still lush hair and pushed Duncan's hand away, a bit annoyed, "I don't like being patted on the head, especially by you."
"This is my way of greeting."
Duncan smiled awkwardly, "If you don't like it, I won't pat your head anymore."
"Actually, I don't like this patting gesture either."
Ginobili overheard Wade Dong and Duncan's conversation and muttered.
After embracing the Spurs players, Wade Dong wearily headed to the locker room.
He had played almost the entirety of two back-to-back games, especially the game against the Spurs, where he shot 37 times and made 19, and went 17 for 21 from the free-throw line. His shooting percentage wasn't high because he faced double or triple teams on every possession. Even with full stamina, it was tough to handle.
Despite the difficulty, Wade Dong scored a game-high 61 points.
[Task: Take a breath, penalty for failure is eating ten buckets of shit!]
Wade Dong, exhausted in the locker room, didn't even have the energy to shower. The system gave him a task at this moment.
Wade Dong: "???"
What kind of bullshit task was this? Taking a breath was a task? If he didn't breathe, he would die. And the penalty for failure was even more ridiculous!
What did eating ten buckets of shit mean?! Shit was an internet slang term, and a bucket was an ancient unit of measurement. The system was combining ancient and modern terms!
Moreover, one bucket was six pounds, so ten buckets would be 60 pounds. Eating 60 pounds of shit? That would either stink to death or burst from overeating...
"System, have you ever eaten shit?"
[No.]
"Can this stuff be swallowed?"
[Not very easily.]
"You haven't eaten it, so how do you know it's not easy to swallow?!"
Wade Dong cursed, but no matter what, this task was easy to complete. So, he calmed down and took a deep breath!
He even worried that the system wouldn't recognize his breathing as standard, so he took seven or eight deep breaths in a row before stopping.
Hill, sitting next to Wade Dong, was stunned and asked with concern, "Wade Dong, are you very tired?"
"Yes, very tired!"
Wade Dong nodded helplessly, "Not only is my body tired, but my mind is also exhausted!"
Indeed, after playing back-to-back games, he was exhausted, and the system still wouldn't let him rest...
Fortunately, after Wade Dong took seven or eight deep breaths, a voice finally appeared in his mind.
[Task completed: Reward is a stamina pill!]
"Damn! There's such a reward?"
Wade Dong was stunned, looking at the blue pill that appeared in his mind's inventory, and muttered, "System, you're awesome~"
[Stamina Pill: Restores 100% stamina, consumes 5 talent points.]
The system explained and then disappeared.
In the fourth quarter, Wade Dong had been gritting his teeth, especially in the last few minutes when he missed several shots due to exhaustion. This was the result of stamina depletion. Fortunately, his teammates stepped up, or they might have lost the game. Now, with the stamina pill, even though the blue pill looked strange, it was another bug!
At least from now on, no matter how long Wade Dong played, he wouldn't run out of stamina.
...
After the game, there was a press conference. This time, Daisy wasn't present, and Wade Dong could finally have a proper interview.
After Gentry's interview, Wade Dong walked to the press table and sat down.
"Clap, clap, clap!!!"
As Wade Dong arrived, all the reporters stood up and applauded.
"Thank you, everyone."
Wade Dong smiled and nodded, signaling the reporters to sit down for the interview.
Reporter A: "Congratulations to the Suns on winning the game. You single-handedly led the team to a great victory."
"Hehe~"
Wade Dong smiled, correcting, "The victory belongs to the entire team's effort."
Reporter: "You just scored 61 points, and according to your profile, you're only 22 years old, making you the youngest 60-point scorer in NBA history."
Wade Dong: "I don't care about these things. Winning the game is the most important."
Reporter: "This is your record night. You dominated the game."
Wade Dong: "I hope you can see the efforts of my teammates. They fought for every rebound, worked hard on defense to prevent easy scoring, and Hill and Frye also performed well on offense. That's the key to winning this game."
"Too modest..."
All the reporters praised him. They had interviewed many rookies in the NBA, and some players would be overjoyed after scoring high.
Only Wade Dong remained calm and modest, attributing the success to his teammates without taking credit.
Reporter: "You've only played five games and already set two NBA historical records. This is incredible."
"I don't care about these things."
Wade Dong said, "I just want to keep winning with my teammates."
Although Wade Dong kept saying this, the reporters still focused on the records, as that was the most sensational topic. So, the reporter asked again, "The NBA has many difficult-to-break historical records. Which one do you most want to break?"
"Please answer this question."
The reporters were all eagerly waiting for Wade Dong's answer, so after this question, they all looked at Wade Dong and didn't ask any other questions.
Wade Dong thought for a moment and calmly said, "I don't care about personal records. If there's one record I want to be part of, it's creating a record of a team winning ten consecutive championships!"
"That's amazing!"
"You will definitely succeed!"
"Good luck!"
The reporters knew this record sounded far-fetched, but which NBA record was easy to break? So, after Wade Dong expressed his goal, the reporters still sent their blessings.
Wade Dong wasn't boasting; this was his goal upon entering the NBA. As for how the reporters discussed it behind his back, he didn't care.
...
At this time, sports magazines and weekly publications in China were not selling well.
However, the major sports websites all featured the headline on their homepages: "The Battle of Deification!"
Wade Dong's first game with a 37-point quarter and his fourth game with a triple-double didn't cause as much sensation as this one.
The youngest 60-point scorer!
Many fans in China cried while watching the game!
Wade Dong, facing the muscular defenders, repeatedly attacked the basket and scored, playing the entire game and leading the Suns to victory over the top-seeded Spurs in the West!
Especially in the final quarter, after Wade Dong's windmill dunk, the Suns' morale completely changed!
This was also the key to the Suns' victory. After all, they were facing the top team in the West, the Spurs. Relying solely on Wade Dong wouldn't be enough unless he had enough talent points to continuously use the "Bad Luck Potion" and "Lucky Potion."
However, even with enough talent points, Wade Dong wouldn't do that.
He could accept defeat, but playing like that would be meaningless. Using the "Lucky Potion" and "Bad Luck Potion" at critical moments was enough.
