Champion, please stay!

Chapter 119, Section 117: The Emperor of the Basketball Mecca!
The DJ's screaming "I...ku..." and the frenzied screams and shouts of the fans in the stadium reached Yi Shui's ears.

Yi Shui thought it was a response to the game-winning shot, but Curry jumped on his back and shouted, "50 points! Oh, Brook, damn it, you got 50 points!"

After playing for 41 minutes and almost exhausted, Yi Shui was nearly tackled by Curry. After regaining his balance, he quickly looked at the big screen.

33投19中，其中三分球9中4，加上10中8的罚球，单场50分11板3助攻1抢断4盖帽！

"Fuck!"

Yi Shui couldn't help but curse.

He didn't even realize that he already had 47 points before the game-winning shot!

He knew he had scored a lot in the first three quarters, after all, he had 25 points in the first half, and it seemed like he scored in double digits again in the third quarter.

But with the game going like this, he no longer cares about how many points he can get.

Especially in the final quarter, with the game so intense and both sides scoring, with his team scoring 41 points and the opponent 39, how could he dare to be distracted even slightly by paying attention to his own score?
He dared not be careless with a single ball; missing even one goal in any part of the process could mean the game was over.

The result? A game-winning shot plus 50 points in a single game?
Resisting the urge to jump up and do a square dance to the background music and cheers, Yi Shui thought of the person he had fought the day before yesterday. He spread his left hand behind his ear, closed his eyes, and tilted his head.

The director, with his sharp eyes, promptly cut to a close-up, allowing the fans at the stadium to see Yi Shui's handsome face and his attentive gesture on the big screen. The cheers, which had just cooled down a little, rose again!

Ellis, sitting opposite, stared at the data on the big screen. When the camera switched to a close-up of Yishui, he cursed and turned to leave. Hearing the fans' cheers rise, he walked even faster.

He scored 45 points! His second-highest score in his career! Only behind his 46 points against the Rockets last season!
But that time, he led his team to defeat the Rockets 132-128 in overtime. This time, however, he was defeated by a buzzer-beater!
And he couldn't even beat a newbie in a high-score contest!
As a snake-type player, this is an absolute disgrace!
In front of the TV, many NBA stars were also watching this much-hyped "run-and-gun showdown." When Yi Shuishou hit a game-winning three-pointer, the reactions of each star were quite interesting...

……

……

The next morning, Yi Shui woke up in her hotel bed.

He had a hangover and his head ached a little. After a while, he remembered that there was someone else in his bed.

He lifted the blanket and peeked out... The other person immediately pulled the blanket away, hugged it to their arms and legs, and drowsily...

Yi Shui: "..."

After the game last night, Dolan treated the whole team to a nightclub to celebrate, and also invited several celebrities and politicians who were in the game last night.

At the party, his sleeping partner from the previous night invited him to dance. He felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her in some movie. Later, after having a few drinks, he arrived at the hotel and only remembered her name after learning it.

Dakota Johnson, who starred in a movie a few years later with an age restriction.

Aside from a hangover headache, I didn't feel very tired.
"You scored 50 points in a game against the Warriors, the team Wilt Chamberlain played in his rookie year, becoming the first rookie of the new century to score 50 points in a single game. Congratulations on receiving the reward: Unfallen (Special Skill)."

On his way to a nightclub after the game last night, he saw the name of the skill and the fact that Chamberlain was mentioned earlier, so he felt it wasn't very serious.

Drinking is definitely bad. Starting today, I'm quitting alcohol!

and many more!

Looking at Dakota Johnson, who seemed to be quite young, Yi Shui quickly grabbed her phone from the bedside table and checked... Thank goodness, he turned 18 last month.

Yi Shui got up, took a shower, and returned to the bedside. Just as he was about to pull up his pants and leave, Dakota, who had already been woken up, pressed against him from behind...

"Wait, Brooke, my legs are numb. Next time!"

"Oh."

"...Take me to the bathroom, I need to rinse my mouth first!"

It was almost noon when Yi Shui returned to his apartment. He first took a taxi to send Mianban home, whose home was also in the Tribeca area. On the way back to the apartment, he checked on his phone... a second-generation star, no wonder.

After changing his clothes and calling the team nutritionist to prepare lunch, Yi Shui turned on his computer and checked the news.

The internet was even more lively than he had imagined; it seemed that Hook, Dolan, the agent... everyone was making their move.

After all, only a handful of rookies have scored 50+ points in a single game in the entire history of the NBA: Mikan, Baylor, Chamberlain, Rick Barry, Earl Monroe, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Allen Iverson... Each of them has left an indelible mark on the history of basketball.

In the modern basketball era, since 1976, only he and Iverson have accomplished this feat.

This definitely deserves a good amount of publicity.

The hottest topic in the local area right now is the evaluation of Yishui by Henrik Lundqvist, captain, star player, defensive cornerstone, and nicknamed "The King" of the NHL New York Rangers, in an interview.

"I became a fan of Brooks from the first time he stepped into our home arena. After we got the first pick, I partied all night in the bar. I knew we would definitely pick him!"

I often watch Brook play at home, and he blows me away every night. People call me the King of New York, so Brook is the Emperor of New York. He descended upon the holy land of basketball, bringing new hope to New York basketball!

Yi Shui was certain that this wave of hype was orchestrated by Dolan, as the Rangers were also an asset of the Dolan family.

Moreover, he didn't see any news about 'preventing a blowout' this time. 50 points, winning, game-winning shot... it seems that it really can't prevent a blowout.

But whatever you wish for comes true.

Yi Shui refreshed the website, and news came out that he and his sleeping companion had left the hotel and kissed goodbye in front of a townhouse in the Tribeca area.

Are they really out of ideas, so they resort to this kind of publicity stunt?

No, it's also possible that it's just hype from the Sleep Partner side.

But it doesn't matter, he's not a short-statured celebrity.

...

Judging that it was about time, Yi Shui left the apartment and went to Madison Square Garden for lunch and afternoon training.

After four consecutive home games, the next leg will be a series of away games, with two days of rest in between.

The whole team went out and had a party last night, and the team didn't schedule any training. Yi Shui thought he was the only one who would come to training, but he ran into Curry at the restaurant.

Yi Shui greeted him, "Stephen, good afternoon... You actually got out of bed? Shouldn't you rest more? It wouldn't be good if it affected the away game. Or did you not satisfy Ayesha last night and she kicked you out?"

Curry remained silent, shifted his position as if wanting to sit next to Yi Shui, and then suddenly leaped up... delivering a powerful headbutt to Yi Shui's palm...

The nutritionist brought Yi Shui's lunch over, and the two of them stopped bickering and started chatting while eating.

When talking about Ayesha, Curry couldn't hide his joy.

The ESPY Awards ceremony in July this year, also known as the 'Sports Oscars' held by ESPN in Los Angeles, is an 'entertainment' award.

Curry won the 'National Pitcher of the Year' award.

Yi Shui also won the 'National Player of the Year' award, but didn't have time to accept it, so Calhoun and Clark accepted it on his behalf.

At the awards ceremony, Curry encountered Ayesha Alexander, a Canadian comedian and host, whom he met during a church event in Charlotte. She was his crush from middle school.

Curry had just signed a contract and had money in his pocket, so he pursued her relentlessly... and finally won her over this month.

Last night's party was a private affair; Dolan had booked the entire place and didn't allow outsiders in, so the 20-year-old elementary school student and his 19-year-old girlfriend also went.

Fueled by alcohol, the two hit it off immediately and grew even closer.

But as they talked, Curry became sullen again. He was very busy with a lot of games, and Ayesha was also busy with filming and hosting, so they rarely saw each other.

Yi Shui listened to this, but there was no way he could persuade the elementary school student to continue spreading the sour smell of his love.

...

In the afternoon, under the guidance of Mark Jackson, Yi Shui practiced footwork combining back-to-the-basket moves and mismatch isolation plays, as well as shooting drills and optimization training for some technical movements.

Curry practiced a few sets of shots, and last night he scored a season-high 26 points. Instead of being complacent, he seemed even more eager to improve.

But he didn't train for long before going back. He came to train mainly to vent his emotions. His girlfriend had just pulled up her pants and flown to Los Angeles that morning, leaving him feeling empty.

In the evening, after finishing his '7th day' extra training, Yi Shui returned to his apartment and saw the news: a major NBA trade had taken place that evening!

First, the Grizzlies, Wizards, and Kings completed a three-way trade.

The Grizzlies traded 2007 first-round pick Gabriel Crittenton, veteran Adornal Foyle, and a second-round pick to the Wizards for veteran Juan Dixon on a minimum contract and veteran Will Solomon on a minimum contract with the Kings.

The Wizards traded Juan Dixon and a second-round pick to Crittenton in exchange for him.

The Kings traded Will Solomon to absorb Foyle's expiring $680 million contract and received two second-round picks from the Grizzlies and Wizards.

The key asset in this deal is Crittenton.

He was selected 19th overall in the first round of the 07 NBA draft by the Lakers. In the mid-season trade for Pau Gasol, he was sent to the Grizzlies. After joining the Grizzlies, he averaged 7.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. This season, he has improved to 7.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.6 assists. At only 21 years old, he is a very promising young forward/guard.

The Grizzlies traded Crittenton and a second-round pick to get rid of Foyle's final year of his $680 million contract and free up salary cap space. The purpose...

The Grizzlies traded Conley to the Heat in exchange for Marion, a 09 first-round pick, and the right to swap first-round picks in 11, and got rid of the contracts of Yalic and Milicic!
