Chapter 80: Pachulia trips on someone's foot? He crushes their toes!
Boys, don’t try to guess what girls are thinking.

Just when Liu Yifei was getting angry, Wang Yan was already snoring loudly.

It’s not that easy to defeat the Lakers, Wang Yan has consumed too much physical energy.

Even in his dreams, Wang Yan was still talking in his sleep...

“Donkey rolls are so delicious!”

If Liu Yifei knew that the person in Wang Yan's dream was not her but Donkey Rolling, she would probably be furious!

Early the next morning, Liu Yifei was waiting at the entrance of Chinatown.

At this time, the Fairy Sister was already very popular among the Chinese, after all, she had several hit roles.

But this is not the Celestial Empire.

She was not wearing sunglasses or a mask, and only a few people recognized her and wanted to take photos with her and get her autograph.

Liu Yifei was anxious and looked around, but she was still very patient and met all the requests of her fans.

After a while, Wang Yan's car came speeding over.

When Wang Yan got out of the car wearing sunglasses, people nearby surrounded him and screamed.

Including the fans around Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei smiled helplessly. Her popularity was far less than Wang Yan's.

Wang Yan signed autographs for a few crazy fans and waved his hand to let them go.

The fans were sensible enough and stopped harassing Wang Yan.

Wang Yan walked towards Liu Yifei and shrugged: "Sorry, it's too much trouble to come out."

Liu Yifei looked at the envious eyes of passers-by and took Wang Yan's arm openly: "Then I won't be polite, I'll use your traffic!"

Wang Yan laughed and touched Liu Yifei's head, saying with a smile: "Haha, rub it wherever you want!"

Liu Yifei's expression changed. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words.

Then the two of them walked into Chinatown, chatting and laughing.

But the cutest height difference seen from behind still attracted a lot of attention from passers-by.

Liu Yifei, who is not short in height, has a head that only reaches Wang Yan's chest, which really looks funny and cute!

Wang Yan bought Liu Yifei a lot of small artworks that she liked, just like he was coaxing his own daughter.

Liu Yifei also reciprocated the favor and was very sensible.

While the two were eating, Liu Yifei specifically ordered the donkey rolls that Wang Yan had been craving for.

After dinner, the two continued strolling in Chinatown.

Wang Yan was tall and had sharp eyes. He spotted a stall owner playing the ring-tossing game in the distance.

"Yifei, there's a ring tosser over there, let's go and play for a while!"

"That's great, I've loved hooping since I was a kid!"

Liu Yifei jumped and came to the ring tossing game with Wang Yan.

There were some small toys near the ring tossing game, but Liu Yifei was not interested. She set her eyes on the plush Garfield cat in the last row.

Looks very cute and adorable.

Wang Yan gave the stall owner one dollar for ten rings.

Liu Yifei opened her eyes wide, looked for a long time, then threw the ring out with gritted teeth.

As a result, it was more than a foot off.

Wang Yan suppressed his laughter and clapped his hands to encourage him: "Come on! There is still a chance!"

Liu Yifei hummed in dissatisfaction, and began to stare and aim again, throwing five or six circles in a row.

Except for one circle that hit Garfield on the head and bounced out, the other circles were far off the mark.

Wang Yan couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.

"Are you serious about your level of skill?"

"You're still talking about me, but I'm also better at shooting three-pointers than you."

This sentence left Wang Yan speechless.

Liu Yifei was a little angry at first, but now she had the upper hand and her mood became happier.

So he stretched out his hand and put the trap on Wang Yan's head.

The onlookers were laughing like crazy.

Wang Yan looked at Liu Yifei aggrievedly and spread his hands: "Little ancestor, why are you trying to trick me?"

Liu Yifei crossed her arms and replied playfully, "Why, is it not okay to like you?"

Although her voice was not loud, everyone around her heard it.

Everyone started to boo.

Liu Yifei didn't care either, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Wang Yan's.

Wang Yan's heart was also in turmoil, and he didn't understand whether Liu Yifei was serious.

……

The two of them had a very fulfilling and joyful Christmas.

The holiday is over, and the Cavaliers are about to face another Eastern Conference powerhouse at home - the Atlanta Hawks!
The Hawks have a decent record this season and are currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, making them a team on the fringe of the playoffs.

If they can maintain this position, they will most likely meet the Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs.

So this game can be seen as an early preview of the playoffs.

During the pre-match training, Wang Yan was very generous and gave his teammates the prepared Christmas gifts!
Each person has a Rolex Daytona.

This luxury watch costs hundreds of thousands of RMB in China.

Even in the United States, it costs about 20 RMB.

Basketball is a team sport after all. If you want to win the championship, you need to do your best in all aspects.

Especially the trust and tacit understanding between teammates require every detail to be in place.

As the absolute tactical core of the team, Wang Yan also has to do a good job as the boss of the locker room.

The other players also distributed the Christmas gifts they brought, which were varied.

Irving's gift was very sincere. He gave each of his teammates a pair of his signature shoes.

Because of his gorgeous technical moves on the court, he has attracted countless fans, so the sales of Irving's signature shoes are also quite good.

Although not as good as Wang Yan, he still has great potential!

This is extremely rare for a first-year rookie, and it is cause for celebration!

The gifts from other players are all very unique.

Some players gave their teammates high-end headphones, and some gave their teammates new mobile phones.

The most abstract one would have to be Tristan Thompson, the Eighth Wise King of the team!

This guy actually gave each of his teammates a box of Biyuntao...

When Wang Yan received his gift, he was speechless.

Boom!
Wang Yan kicked him directly and scolded him with a smile: "You better restrain yourself, kid. No matter how good your talent is, it can't stand you wasting it like this!"

TT laughed and said, "I heard that there is a famous saying in your Celestial Empire: To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost!"

The teammates burst into laughter.

Wang Yan shook his head helplessly: "There are many famous sayings in our Celestial Empire. I'll give you one more: There are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no land that is plowed to death!"

. . . .

Everyone started the formal training with laughter.

Although the atmosphere in the team is relaxed and everyone is chatting and laughing, the training process cannot be taken lightly.

Wang Yan has a system bonus, so he can be lazy, but his teammates cannot be lazy.

Everybody is looking at him.

So Wang Yan trained the hardest.

Almost every day he is the first to arrive and the last to leave the training hall.

What is the boss! What is the core!

Wang Yan set the best example by leading by himself!

The Cavaliers' training content is very rich, which was also carried out at the suggestion of Wang Yan.

That is to make careful preparations based on every tactical detail of the opponent!

The Hawks have an inside player, center Pachulia.

I believe that old fans know this guy's character.

His most glorious moment was when he injured Leonard in the playoffs and helped the Warriors defeat the Spurs.

what a shame.

That round of playoffs could be described as a collision of Mars and the Earth. It was supposed to be an exciting round of games.

The Spurs, who had a very reasonable combination of new and old players, and the Warriors, who were at their peak! Unfortunately, a "clumsy" step by Pachulia ruined Leonard and the series.

Wang Yan looked at the Eagles’ roster and cursed in his heart.

Although it happened before he traveled through time, Pachulia's character will not change.

Therefore, during the training, Wang Yan specifically reminded his teammates.

When Pachulia is defending, try not to jump too high and pay attention to protect yourself!

His teammates didn't understand what he meant.

Because this season, Pachulia is still relatively honest.

But he is different from other players who play dirty tricks, this guy likes to play big!
The more crucial the game, the more excited he becomes, and the more likely he is to foul.

Today, the Cavaliers are the hottest team in the league, having achieved an impressive 28-game winning streak.

Every next opponent will not want to become a stepping stone for the Cavaliers' winning streak.

Therefore, Pachulia is likely to attack Wang Yan.

. . . .

In the pre-game interview, Pachulia answered reporters' questions.

A local media reporter asked: "Mr. Pachulia, the Cavaliers have won 28 consecutive games and they seem to be on their way to breaking the record. What do you think?"

"Winning streak?"

Pachulia sneered sinisterly: "What a joke! We will stop them, listen man, the Cavaliers' winning streak will be interrupted by us!"

His answer caused many fans to boo.

"who do you think You Are?"

"Little Shark Bynum and Pau Gasol couldn't do anything to Wang Yan, how can you do that?"

"Are you crazy? The Cavaliers are unstoppable right now. Even if their winning streak is broken, it won't be interrupted by you, the Hawks!"

"May I ask who gave you the confidence? I'm only 3 centimeters erect, and it would be enough if I could have half as much confidence as you do!"

Then goose.

Only Wang Yan understood what Pachulia was going to do.

7:30 p.m.

Cleveland, USA

Quicken Loans Arena
The Cavaliers will face a well-rested opponent, the Eastern Conference powerhouse Hawks, after Christmas.

The Hawks' starting lineup is center Horford, power forward Singles Joe, small forward Marvin, shooting guard Josh Smith, and guard Bibby.

It must be said that this Eagles team is indeed quite strong.

Pachulia has basically been a backup center this season, so his remarks caused ridicule from fans.

More than five minutes into the first quarter, the Cavaliers launched a wave of attacks.

14: 3!

Enter the official suspension.

Hawks coach Larry Drew was livid.

Of course he knew the gap between the two teams, so losing was normal.

But he couldn't stand being beaten like this right at the start.

Wang Yan completely suppressed Horford.

In front of Wang Yan, Horford could neither attack nor defend.

It's simply Wang Yan's toy!

He made four of four shots, scored 9 points, 1 block and 3 rebounds!
A perfect dream start!

The Cavaliers fans at the Quicken Loans Arena were having a blast.

Wang Yan also excitedly stirred up the enthusiasm of the home fans.

The commercial value of a player is not only his dominance on the court, but also his popularity with the audience.

In this regard, Wang Yan is at the maximum level.

He can accurately grasp the emotional pulse of the fans and quickly ignite their passion!
Wang Yan kept waving his hands and interacting with the audience.

At the same time, he put his hands over his ears, made a listening gesture, and signaled the fans to cheer louder!
The Quicken Loans Center has become a veritable devil's home court, with shouts of killing deafening.

All the Eagles players felt tremendous pressure.

At this time, Hawks head coach Larry Drew waved his hand, called Pachulia over, and whispered a few words to him.

Wang Yan saw this scene out of the corner of his eye and sneered in his heart.

The timeout is over and players from both teams return to the court.

Sure enough, the Eagles made a substitution.

The coach replaced the distracted Horford with Pachulia.

There was no way out. Wang Yan had tortured Horford so much that his soul left his body. He lost confidence and could not stay on the court.

As soon as Pachulia came on, he stuck to Wang Yan and kept making small movements.

Cavaliers fans also saw the interview, so as soon as Pachulia came on the court, the fans booed.

However, Pachulia doesn't care at all. This guy is extremely thick-skinned.

When the Cavaliers attacked, Wang Yan stood near the paint area, firmly positioned himself, and reached out for the ball.

Pachulia tried his best to push Wang Yan out.

Unfortunately, Wang Yan’s feet seemed to be rooted to the ground and didn’t move at all!

When Irving saw Wang Yan reaching for the ball, he immediately passed it to him.

After Wang Yan received the ball, he shook his shoulder and tricked Pachulia away.

Turn around!

Jump shot!

This is a replica of Durant's mid-range shot.

It can also be said that he is an enhanced version of Durant, because Wang Yan's jumping speed is faster and his turning range is larger!

Pachulia's defense is not as good as Horford's, and he was deceived and lost his balance.

He could only watch Wang Yan turn around and take action!
However, Pachulia has his own dirty tricks.

Although I can't defend you, I can wait for you on the floor!
So, when Wang Yan jumped to the highest point, Pachulia raised his head and pretended to block the shot.

And his right foot had already reached under Wang Yan's feet.

No wonder Pachulia is such a sinister person. He walked over in small steps.

Even if you watch the live broadcast and close-up shots, you can't find any fault with it.

Only the opposing players on the court knew that Pachulia did it on purpose!

Swish!
Wang Yan stretched out his arms lightly, his touch was extremely soft, and he got two points!

So cool!
It is worthy of Durant's unique skill. This mid-range shot is so smooth!
The mid-range shot was successful and Wang Yan also landed smoothly.

His left foot also stepped accurately on Pachulia's foot.

With a click…

The fans at the scene, as well as those watching the live broadcast on TV and computers, were all terrified.

This is a solid stepping stone!
Wang Yan jumped so high and was completely unprepared, he was definitely going to get hurt!

It's a shame for a first-year rookie to get injured.

The Cavaliers are in a good situation now and have been on a winning streak.

If Wang Yan, the absolute core, gets injured, it would be like half of the team collapses.

Many female fans at the scene covered their eyes in fear. They couldn't bear to see Wang Yan lying on the ground in pain.

At this time, Liu Yifei, who was watching the game at the scene, had her heart pounding.

Her pretty face turned pale with fright, thinking that Wang Yan was in danger.

However, the next scene left everyone completely dumbfounded.

Wang Yan was unexpectedly safe and sound, still standing.

But Pachulia screamed, fell to the ground, covering his right foot with a painful expression.

The fans all stood up, their faces filled with disbelief.

"OH! MY! GOD!"

The commentators also exclaimed: "It was Zaza Pachulia who stepped on Wang Yan's foot, how come he was the one injured?"

"Zaza Pachulia's foot was stepped on by Wang Yan."

Barkley observed the situation: "It looks like..."

"He might have broken his toe!"
