After much thought, Shen Fei decided to tell the truth frankly.
"I will attend the party you mentioned before because of work requirements."
"I'll pick you up that day, let's go there together."
Shen Fei explained the reason in the first sentence, and the latter sentence was considered a small compensation.
After all, these words are equivalent to telling Ajiali that work is more important than you...
Fortunately, Ajiali, who is also very ambitious, doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong with Shen Fei's approach.
"Okay! My agent also borrowed a haute couture dress from eliesaab this time. It looks great. You can look forward to it."
Ajiali's words revealed her joy that Shen Fei could attend.
After Shen Fei saw this news, he couldn't help but sigh that coincidences always happen everywhere.
However, a rich girl like Ajiali is the target customer of eliesaab, so it is not surprising that she can borrow a dress.
After sending the text message, Shen Fei turned his attention back to the court.
At this time, the players from both sides have walked to the center circle, waiting for the game to start.
Maddie still looked sleepy.
He adjusted the wristband on his forearm while walking towards the Spurs half court.
"Hey, Tim, how are you doing?"
Maddie smiled and greeted Duncan.
"Okay."
Duncan took a step forward, high-fived McGrady and bumped shoulders.
Speaking of which, there are many connections between the two players.
Both of them entered the league in 1997.
At that time, Duncan was the undisputed No. 1 pick, while McGrady was a gifted high school student.
After entering the league, although the two had completely different development paths, they both ultimately performed in line with fans' expectations.
In 2000, Duncan and Tracy McGrady almost joined forces in Orlando.
If Doc Rivers, the head coach of the Magic at the time, hadn't refused to allow Duncan's wife to fly on the team's plane, Shifu might have landed in Orlando.
By the 2002-03 season, Duncan and McGrady both performed at MVP levels.
That year, Duncan averaged 23.3 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.9 blocks per game, leading the Spurs to an impressive record of 60 wins and 22 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference.
Tracy McGrady, who played alone in Orlando, performed equally well.
He averaged 32.1 points, 5.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game.
Unfortunately, the Magic's overall strength was insufficient, and they ended up ranking eighth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 42 wins and 40 losses.
It is worth mentioning that in the first round of the playoffs that year, McGrady averaged 31.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, helping the Magic win three games in the series and almost defeating the Bad Boys - —The piston is sent away.
At that time, McGrady's reputation reached its peak.
As a young and frivolous man, he was extremely confident in himself and even said, "The MVP should belong to me."
And this is McGrady and Duncan’s first beef.
Later, it became the most familiar segment of "35 seconds and 13 minutes".
Duncan and his Spurs embarrassingly became the backdrop during the peak moment of McGrady's career.
Shi Buddha, who was very angry, got angry in a rare way after the game.
In the post-game interview, the reporter asked Duncan, if the Spurs and Rockets meet in the playoffs, how would you respond?
Shi Fo said calmly: "It will be fine if we send him off at 4:00."
This is their second beef.
Unfortunately, McGrady quickly died due to injuries after that.
There was no further interaction between the two.
The bonds of the past gradually dissipated over time.
The two also became good friends again.
But this season, a surprising change has taken place in McGrady.
Once again, he became one of the hottest stars in the league.
The two met again this time. Although they were friendly on the surface, they both wanted to defeat each other in their hearts.
With such emotions, the game officially begins!
............
The referee threw the ball high, and Split and Yao Ming took off at the same time.
In the end, Yao, who was taller and had longer arms, won the battle.
Rockets attack first!
Curry carried the ball through half court and met Parker's defense.
Although the French sports car is not good at defense, he has very good speed and a very active defensive attitude.
The most important thing is that Parker has accumulated a lot of defensive experience after many years of playing in the playoffs.
Therefore, it is not easy for Curry to face him.
In the first round, Parker showed what is called "dog skin plaster" defense.
No matter how Curry sways left or right, or runs without the ball after handing over the ball, it is difficult to get rid of Parker's defense.
The French sports car has only one idea - to guard Curry to avoid being scolded!
Yes, Parker, as the Spurs' champion, is still "afraid" of Popovich even at his age.
Popovich can tolerate Ginobili breaking away from tactics and "playing blindly", and he can also encourage Jefferson, who is in poor condition.
Only towards Parker, he has always been very strict.
In the finals between the Spurs and the Pistons, Popovich gave the little sports car a death order - whenever Billups raised his hand to shoot, his elbow would hit Parker's chin!
Once he loses track or gives Billups a chance to shoot, Popovich will yell.
Such strict and exaggerated requirements may be difficult for even ordinary blue-collar players to accept.
Only someone with a good personality like Parker can endure Popovich's harshness.
But a strict teacher produces a good student. Under the training of this legendary coach, Parker, who was "skinny" and weak in defensive ability, grew into an average defender.
At least you won't see during the game that the coaches of other teams specially arrange tactics to single out Parker!
Before today's game against the Rockets, Popovich also gave the little sports car a death order - when Curry takes action, he must appear within 10 centimeters in front of him!
To put it simply, you must follow Curry closely and never give him an opportunity to take an easy shot.
[Stephen’s small body should be much easier to defend than Chauncey (Billups).]
Parker thought to himself, and then nodded in agreement.
As soon as the game started today, he started to defend like a shadow.
So far, Parker's defense is pretty good.
At least in the first round, Curry didn't have any chance to make a shot.
The Rockets' first attack also ended with Griffin's failure in a single against Duncan.
During the transition between offense and defense, Parker passed the half court with the ball and called for a pick-and-roll inside.
Split rushed over, stepped on his horse, and helped the sports car block Curry.
Parker accelerated and easily passed the first line of defense.
Facing Yao Ming's defense, the French sports car transformed into a French top.
He suddenly turned around while walking, passed Dayao directly, and succeeded in an easy layup.
2:0, the Spurs took the lead!
"What a ball! Judging from this first attack, Parker is in very good physical condition."
"I'm really curious about what kind of sparks will come from the collision between him, who is good at breakthroughs, and Curry, who is excellent at three-pointers."
