() "Damn it." On the plane flying back to Orlando, Adrian was still aggrieved. Because they lost.
They lost Game 4 of the series at the Palace of Auburn Hills and the Pistons' second home game.
For two whole days, every night, the guys in Detroit held a bonfire party outside the hotel where the Magic were staying. The noise and noise hardly stopped for a moment. There was no way to inform the hotel manager because the hotel's security couldn't control it.
Outside the hotel, even notifying the local police in Detroit was of no use.
The police did come and drove this group of people away. But when the Magic players finally relaxed and took all the time to catch up on sleep, the loud noises started again. It was still the same group of people, even
Without even changing his belongings and clothes, he appeared again making loud noises outside the hotel where the Magic team stayed.
Stan Van Gundy had no choice but to call the police again. The police arrived quickly and once again drove away the Pistons fans, and also arrested and detained those fans who were noisy outside the hotel. But soon, a group of people changed.
Then the noise outside started again. Obviously these police officers were not trying their best at all, they were just coping. Stan Van Gundy gave earplugs to all the players and asked them to wear them to sleep.
This kind of crooked trick is not on the table, but it is indeed effective. During the game the next day, all members of the Magic team were out of energy, and they were having a lot of trouble. Stan Van Gundy even got two big black eyes. In this state, again
In addition, it was still on the road, at the Palace of Auburn Hills... The Magic only resisted for three quarters and had to surrender.
The total score is 2:2. Although the Magic still have the home court advantage, the most critical issue is the fifth game...The Magic must face the 'curse' problem in the fifth game. If this problem is not handled well. The Magic
May be facing a losing streak.
All in all, the situation is terrible.
"Mr. Van Gundy, we have to think of something." On the plane, Adrian found Stan Van Gundy: "The situation is very unfavorable to us now. If we can't solve the curse well, what if we are in trouble?
If we lose at home... we are very likely to lose the entire series. Now everyone is a little panicked because of the curse, and I'm worried that their state will be greatly affected when the game comes."
"I know this, Ed." Regarding this so-called curse, Stan Van Gundy also seemed quite helpless. From his heart, he did not believe in such things as curses or evil spirits. As an accurate person,
Stan Van Gundy, a Scientologist, firmly believes that everything in this world can be explained by science. The so-called curse is just the product of a series of coincidences followed by rumors. The media's hype has had a very bad influence on this.
But in reality, Van Gundy has no good way to solve this matter. He is a member of the Church of Scientology, and Adrian does not seem to believe in things like curses. At least from normal interactions, he can
It can be seen that Adrian has no superstitious thoughts. But the two of them don't believe it, but there is no way to make all members of the Magic team sneer at this curse.
"Actually, I have contacted a very professional psychic. It is said that she has great psychic powers." In the end, Stan Van Gundy gave a solution that was not a solution.
"She, the psychic?" Adrian frowned. He maintained an attitude of respecting ghosts and gods and staying away from them, because ghosts and gods could neither prove their existence nor their non-existence. Moreover, Adrian's own
Existence is the largest type of supernatural event in the world. However, Adrian maintains a firm disbelief in the so-called psychics. At least until now, no psychic has appeared to declare that Adrian was reborn.
of.
But in mainstream American society, 'spiritual mediums' have formed an industry. They sell magazines, stage reality TV shows, have dedicated satellite channels and paid hotlines, and develop themed tourism projects and training courses. Some "spiritual mediums"
"Celebrities in the world hold more than 40 "special performances" a year, with thousands of spectators at each performance, and it is difficult to get a ticket for US$30 a piece.
Some police officers will even turn to psychics when they have no clue about a case. Alison Dubert, the prototype of the American TV series "Psychic", is a real-life psychic in the United States. She has assisted the United States
Phoenix's district attorney has cracked major cases many times.
There are different opinions as to whether it is true or false.
But in the United States, there are really many people who believe in this. Even in the United States, psychics even have professional psychic licenses. In the United States, psychics have become an industry. Rather than... some kind of feudal dross
.
"To be precise, she should be a witch, or a shaman, or a Taoist priest... But she said she needs your help. She needs you to cooperate with her to do something, so that she can get rid of the evil spirit attached to the trophy."
After thinking seriously for a while, Adrian nodded and said: "Okay, I think we can try it, at least it can make everyone feel at ease. But you have to tell her not to mess around. I don't want to cause any trouble.
"
"I can guarantee this, she is also well-known in the industry."
"Is she famous enough? If she is not famous, it may be difficult for everyone to feel at ease."
"Her name is quite famous. I asked around a bit and found out that she is quite famous in Orlando. Many big entrepreneurs have invited her to visit...how do you say that word...forget it, she is a
Quite a convoluted word."
It seemed a bit ridiculous that two people who basically didn't believe in psychics were seriously discussing at the front end of the plane about hiring a psychic to get rid of the evil spirits on the trophy. However, in order for the Magic team to win two days later,
In the home games, the bad luck of the trophy is no longer entangled. In order for the players to no longer be suspicious of the curse, even though I feel disgusted with this kind of thing in my heart, I can only bite the bullet and get on with it.
"By the way, Mr. Van Gundy, what do you think will happen if we publicize this matter in advance?" Adrian thought about it for a while and then asked Van Gundy: "The media will report it extensively. Will this have any impact?"
"We don't need to worry about this." Stan Van Gundy smiled: "How could a person like that let go of such an opportunity to be in the limelight?"
The psychic that Stan Van Gundy hired was named Annie Smith.
She is a well-known local witch in Orlando. It is said that she has extraordinary abilities to exorcise ghosts. Some old houses that have been haunted all year round will become clean after her treatment. Anne Smith originally wanted to talk to Adrian before starting work.
I met him, but Adrian declined because he couldn't schedule it.
He really didn't want to have anything to do with people like these psychics and goddesses. If it weren't for the team, he wouldn't have agreed to hand over his best player trophy to a psychic.
On Wednesday night, May 14th, the Amway Center was once again overcrowded. League president David Stern personally came to the scene and personally handed the best player trophy engraved with Adrian's name into Adrian's hands.
"You performed very well, young man. At the beginning of the season, I never thought that I would be able to hand this trophy to you this year." David Stern said with a smile when handing the trophy to Adrian.
: "Your efforts and performance exceeded everyone's expectations. This trophy should of course belong to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Stern." Adrian smiled and nodded: "If possible, I would like to get it next year."
"mvp!!"
"mvp!!"
"mvp!!"
When Adrian put the best player trophy in his hands and raised it high, the case center immediately became a sea of roaring cheers. Countless noisy cheers finally converged into a shout, mvp! After all, this most valuable player trophy is still
Falling into the hands of Adrian also means that Adrian has officially entered the ranks of the league's top superstars.
Then, in full view of everyone, Adrian did not hold the trophy in his hands for long. After accepting the cheers and congratulations of the fans and taking some photos for reporters, Adrian handed over the MVP trophy.
Anne Smith waiting aside.
Anne Smith took the trophy and wrapped it with a piece of red silk. Then she took out a small silver bottle, muttered some water and poured it on the trophy wrapped in red silk, and then immediately took the trophy with her.
Turn around and leave. Anne Smith will take the trophy away and deal with it. In her words, "after removing the curse attached to the trophy, it will be returned to Adrian."
"Ed, do you think this will work?" Rashad Lewis glanced in the direction of the players' tunnel. It was obvious that he had gone no longer, but he seemed to still be able to see.
"She really has a way to lift the curse."
"I don't know, Rashad, I don't care about this now." Adrian shrugged: "Leave professional matters to professionals to solve. We can't deal with curses, but we can leave them to
They will definitely be able to deal with it easily. Thinking about it, this is not a serious curse. It can only cause us to lose a game. I guess it shouldn't be difficult to remove. Moreover, this woman is also quite famous and is said to be very capable. Forget it.
Anyway, someone is in charge of this matter now. Let professional people do professional things, and we will just do our own professional things. Get rid of the piston. This is our profession."
Adrian tried her best to act as relaxed as possible. She knew that her state and attitude would greatly affect her teammates. Therefore, letting her teammates see her relaxed and relieved look could also help her teammates relax.
Relax. (To be continued. (qidian.) m.qidian. Read.) (To be continued. (qidian.) m.qidian. Read.)
ps: ps. I'm not in good condition, and gradually I don't know what to write. Maybe it's because the preparation of the new book distracts me too much, and the blind date gives me a splitting headache.
