Chapter 21 Let’s toast together

Orlando's food is like Orlando's Disneyland, which will leave people with deep and beautiful memories.

On the night after the game, Durant invited Lip and three other rookie players to Del Frisco restaurant in the Orlando area, which is particularly famous for its steak and lobster.

The steaks are made from air-dried beef shipped directly from the central and western parts of the country. The beef is from corn-raised cattle, never frozen, and cut according to customer needs. The lobsters are flown in from Australia every day.

Just listening to the splendid scene, I know that it’s not necessarily delicious here, but it’s definitely expensive!

But who made Durant rich?

Although Durant's temperament is very down-to-earth, he is really rich and handsome!

Needless to say, he is tall. Officially he is 208cm, but actually he is 211cm. There are not many people in the world who are taller than him.

Handsome, of course, there is no need to say more. Xiaoshuai’s nickname is not in vain. He is only called by the wrong name, not by the wrong nickname.

Well, really!

As for being rich...

Just the day before yesterday, Durant reached an early contract extension agreement with the Thunder. The contract extension is for five years and is worth about US$85 million, starting from the 2011-2012 season.

This is not to mention that as early as 2007, he signed a 7-year, 60 million contract with Nike.

What is a billionaire? This is a billionaire!

Durant leaned back tactically, leaned behind his chair, and said to the other four people at the table: "Prince, I really like what you said at the draft. Yes, our team's goal this year is to always be the best."

champion!

So whoever performs well gets to eat lobster, and whoever performs poorly doesn't even get to eat mashed potatoes!

Now that I have finished speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"

Li Pu, who had already eaten three lobsters, raised his head and had no time to wipe his mouth with a tissue. He raised his hands in the air and said in a French military salute: "That's great, Kevin, can I have another one?"

"

"..." Durant had a dark look on his face, and then looked at Harden who was standing aside, snickering shyly, and couldn't help but cover his head with his hands: "Waiter, I want another lobster!"

"Kevin will be my boss from now on. If anyone disrespects Kevin, I will beat him to death!"

Hearing that there were still lobsters to eat, Li Pu immediately shouted loudly.

It’s really not the fault of Li Pu’s lack of ambition, it’s really because Durant was too generous.

Not only has Li Pu never eaten this kind of Australian lobster in his life, he has never eaten it in his previous life!

The first time we met, someone treated you to lobster. How dare you not say "Brother Du" to such a boss?

"Alas, be careful about your image!" Lin Shuhao on the side covered his face with one hand and held Li Pu's sleeve with the other.

"It doesn't matter, we are all our own people!" Li Pu didn't care at all.

Do they care if they eat two more lobsters? As long as I am strong, I can make them treat me to lobsters every day!

"That can't be..."

Lin Shuhao made small movements while looking up at the others and found that the others really didn't seem to care.

Except for Bai Ade, everyone kept looking at Li Pu and Lin Shuhao with hatred.

Not to mention Lin Shuhao, his performance in the summer league was top-notch.

And Lip saved himself in the third game of the Summer League.

In the end, good guy, I’m the only one left to continue stretching my hips?

This made him sit on pins and needles at the dinner table.

Durant casually picked up the new iPhone 4 on the table and opened Twitter. As an avid fan of Twitter, Durant likes to use it, which can be seen from the fact that he has several trumpets.

However, after seeing the latest news, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Harden immediately noticed something was wrong with Durant and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Kevin?"

Durant handed the phone to Harden and said with an ugly face: "LeBron has transferred!"

"It's a transfer, it's a transfer. His transfer wasn't very positive... Damn it, he went to Miami?" Harden immediately exclaimed after seeing the content on Twitter.

This news immediately attracted the attention of the other three people.

Unlike Li Pu, who had known the news for a long time, Lin Shuhao and Bai Ade were equally shocked when they heard it for the first time. Everyone couldn't imagine, LeBron James, you thick eyebrows and big eyes, how could you hug each other?

?

To be honest, compared to Durant's "surrender" in later generations, James' "Decision 1" had a greater impact!

Because before this, there have never been three superstars in their prime working together!

This is considered a first of its kind.

What's even more inappropriate is that he actually announced the matter through a live broadcast.

When you go out to fool around, you have to admit when you are wrong, and you have to stand at attention when you are beaten!

You think it's right, but most people think it's wrong, so just keep it quiet.

If you stand up and challenge the values ​​of most people so carelessly, it will only bring about greater backlash.

Not only did James do this, he also stabbed someone in the lungs.

In today's nationally broadcast special "The Decision" hosted on ESPN, James announced that he has signed with the Miami Heat.

Two days ago, Wade and Bosh appeared on ESPN together. The two connected remotely. Wade announced: "I will stay with the Heat."

Bosh said: "I will join the Heat and join Wade."

The Heat's Big Three are now formed!

What's ridiculous is that as early as April 1st, April Fool's Day, the Cavaliers had a record of 59 wins and 16 losses, and were about to win 60+ games in the regular season for two consecutive years.

LeBron said in an interview with NBA TV, "I have an ambitious goal, which is to bring a championship to Cleveland, and I will not stop until I achieve it."

His words were widely praised by the media and fans, and were considered a warning that he would stay with the Cavaliers and a declaration of loyalty to Cleveland.

Who would have thought that in just 3 months, they would be slapped in the face? You can imagine how angry Cleveland fans are?

Burning jerseys is just a small trick. Li Pu has no doubt that if this was done in Texas, someone might actually want to use a gun to do it!

After all, happy America, gun fights every day!

"How dare he, LeBron?"

The person who was most affected by this incident was undoubtedly Durant.

It can be seen from Durant's later experiences that James almost became Durant's inner demon.

Maybe even Durant himself didn't realize that he has been competing with James in his heart his whole life.

Compared with achievements, awards, endorsement fees, historical status, and even the scoring that Durant is best at, Durant is not as good as James.

It was precisely because he had to be compared with James and James decided to set an example that Durant was not afraid of rumors, bravely took that step, and chose the most difficult road!

"Are you scared?" Just as everyone was shocked by the news, Li Pu picked up a large lobster claw and asked Durant.

"Who? Me? How is this possible? How could I be afraid?" Durant quickly denied it.

"Those are the Big Three consisting of James, Wade and Bosh! Are you confident in defeating them?"

This time, Durant frowned but said nothing.

There is no way, the gap in strength is too huge, even Durant cannot ignore it.

After a long silence, he said: "As I said, our goal is the championship, no matter who the opponent is!"

Durant, who had regained his composure, cheered up again at this moment. At this time, he had not yet been severely beaten by reality, and his fighting spirit had not been worn away by the years. It was the time when he was full of ambition.

In just his third year in the league, he has already become the youngest scoring champion in NBA history, was selected to the All-Star and All-NBA First Team, and ranked second in the MVP voting.

It can be said that at this time, although he also felt that James's team-up was extremely difficult for him, he was full of hope for the future, unlike in 2016, when he wasted eight years and achieved nothing, and was even further away from the championship.

Therefore, his answer at this time was extremely domineering.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt Durant's ambition. Harden on the side looked like a little fanboy, blinking his "porphyrin porphyrin" eyes and looking at Durant.

"Hahaha, that's good!" At this time, Li Pu stood up with a smile and raised the cup in his hand, "Kevin, since you invited me to dinner, as a thank you, I promise you that I will definitely

Work hard to improve yourself and help you win the championship as the starting center!"

"Hey, hey, hey, who said you have to be the starting center of the team?" Just as Li Pu was making an impassioned speech, Bai Ade beside him couldn't sit still and immediately stood up to object.

I was the 11th pick and you were the 18th pick. Why should you be the starter?

"Hahahaha, Prince, you are really interesting. Don't you say that Chinese people are very serious? You are not like that at all! I hope your ability is as powerful as your mouth, not a cat or a dog!"

Durant also stood up and picked up the wine glass, ignoring Bai Ade and confronting Li Pu tit for tat.

"Hey, hey, I told you, I will be the starting center next season!" Bai Ade said still unwilling to give up.
