Guard With a Knife

April 19th.

Kevin Durant came to Xiangmi Garden as a habit. He had a house here, and a girl named Tiffany lived in the house. But he seemed to prefer to call her Scary.

Before every important home game, he always comes here to seek strength: Tiffany...well, Sjani is very good at bathing and massaging, which will make his whole body feel relaxed.

This evening, however, he arrived feeling unhappy. Not only was Sijani wearing a green dress that he didn't like, but the TV in the living room was actually playing the MTV channel, which was telling the story of the love story of a perverted dog.

As Snoopy went to Los Angeles some time ago, more and more people felt that it was time to make a periodic summary of the little Duke's past scandals. Because it seems that he is about to enter the state of marriage: the Snoop family sold the villa they bought last summer and finally bought a US$30 million mansion in the best location in Beverly Hills.

This French Palladian-style mansion is located on the hillside of Beverly Hills west of Los Angeles in Southern California, overlooking the famous Sunset Strip. It has a built-up area of ​​36,000 square feet and covers an area of ​​2 acres. It was developed by Fred Wehba Real Estate, designed by Biglin Construction Group, and constructed by Fenton Construction Company.

This French-style mansion has 9 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. The entrance hall is on two levels with marble staircases on both sides. The walls and ceiling of the library are decorated with gilt. It is particularly worth mentioning that the interior decoration of the building uses a large amount of imported hand-carved limestone, French chandeliers, agate stone and 24K pure gold jewelry. It is as beautiful as a luxurious palace and is breathtaking.

In comparison, the Beckhams spent US$22 million to buy a mansion with a total area of ​​approximately 1,208 square meters in Beverly Hills in 2007.

"We Chinese like to buy separate residences for our children before they get married. It is the responsibility of parents. And it is a good investment. As far as I know, the original price of the mansion in 2008 was as high as $68.5 million. The current transaction price is simply too cheap.”

The mother of the young duke said lightly in front of the camera. The former sweet song queen who can spend 30 million US dollars at any time is becoming the dream mother-in-law of women across the United States. Daphne naturally became a "thorn in the side" of unmarried women across the United States.

After all, it was Snoopy she had done! Young and strong, tall and handsome, rich as a country, and... such a wonderful mother. God, what could be happier than marrying him.

Sijani sat in front of the TV with an envious look on her face, which made Durant feel depressed.

He sighed inwardly, and then said: "Starting tomorrow, you don't have to come here to work."

ah?

Sijani seemed very surprised. She asked: "Why? Is it because I don't look like Scarlett? I can go for plastic surgery. I have already made an appointment with a plastic surgeon..."

"roll……"

Kevin Durant shouted angrily as if his secret was exposed.

All right.

Tiffany stopped arguing. She had made a lot of money from Durant in the past two years, and she felt there was no need to pretend to be someone else: sometimes she felt sick, especially when she was taking a shower while standing on a high platform. , God knows what’s wrong with this NBA billionaire.

So, she picked up her bag and turned around to leave, just like she did when she came here two years ago.

I can finally be myself, and I don’t have to take three showers a day anymore.

Tiffany stretched and left the Sweet Honey Garden with a happy body and three hundred thousand dollars in her bank card.

Lying on the sofa, Durant angrily changed the channel, where ESPN was talking about the importance of this game to the two most promising regular season MVPs.

The three guests all felt that the two sides are actually on the same starting line now: Although the Bulls have a better record, Snoopy's performance is also slightly better. However, after all, he already won the regular season MVP last season, so it will be much more difficult to be re-elected than the first time. Therefore, if he wants to win the MVP, he can only be justified by double-killing Kevin Durant in the regular season.

As long as Durant wins a head-to-head matchup, reporters will hesitate when voting.

This sounds more like favoring KD.

So...bang!

Adu smashed the TV.

He felt that everything was terrible, why could Snoopy have Scarlett, but I could only use a fake Scarlett, and she actually still missed Snoopy.

Why do I say that winning the MVP is a sympathy vote, but he wants to increase the difficulty?

How am I worse than him?

I am the first person of the new generation! !

I have to prove myself.

Starting tomorrow night.

He clenched his fists and expressed his ambition.

At this time, he was like the hero on TV who was about to make a counterattack from defeat.

However, at this moment.

Sizzle! !

The smashed TV began to smoke;

Then a fire quickly started, he ran out of the villa, and then quickly dialed the fire alarm...

…

Daphne moved into the French-style palace in Beverly Hills immediately after being discharged from the hospital. Also moving in with her were her father, Thomas Mann, an associate professor at the University of Southern California, and her mother, Lin Baozhen.

Both professors are considered upper-middle class in the United States, but they still seemed very surprised and stunned when faced with such a majestic palace.

Frankly speaking, if the puppy hadn't caused so many scandals, he would really be a very good marriage partner, and his family is also very good.

Before Ms. Lin Baozhen went abroad in the 1980s, she often listened to the songs of the Queen of Sweet Songs. Therefore, the relationship between them is a bit like that between fans and idols. When Ms. Lan Fei was busy in the hospital, she couldn't believe her eyes: My idol would become my in-laws thirty years later.

"My husband will arrive in Los Angeles tonight, and he also thinks we should meet. After all, marriage is the fusion of two families, and we must understand and communicate as much as possible beforehand." Ms. Lan Fei sat down after dinner On the sofa, I once again talked about important life events with Daphne's parents.

Physicist Thomas Mann sat there calmly. No matter how high his academic achievements were, when faced with the issue of marrying his daughter, the inner feeling of a father was always not so good.

Ms. Lin Baozhen was able to accept this matter calmly. She sat there and chatted back and forth with Lan Fei.

Daphne was extremely embarrassed. She felt... was it too fast? I haven't really started dating Doug yet.

"The game is on, Mom."

She tried to change the subject.

But the two ladies turned their heads to look at the TV at the same time, making her even more embarrassed, as if they called two mothers in one sentence.

"So, is player No. 0 gay? Why did he kiss Snoopy?" Thomas Mann, a serious scientist, said with a frown.

"They were college alumni and they had a good relationship." Daphne explained to her father.

"oh!"

Thomas Mann nodded, and then the air fell silent again.

After all, except for Daphne, the other three people here don't understand basketball. The commentator on the TV kept emphasizing that this game was related to an important award, and because of the relationship with his son/prospective son-in-law, and the fact that he was new to the country and had no other topic to talk about, he had no choice but to sit in front of the TV.

…

Dugger, who was playing at Chesapeake Energy Stadium at this time, obviously had no idea that three bored people were sitting in his new house watching his game.

Although the media played up this game as the fight of the century, he did not actually treat it as some kind of ceremonial battle.

He just wants to win this game.

As for the DUDU war that the media exaggerated, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Therefore, he chose to assist on the first goal of the game. He used a flexible change of direction to shake off Westbrook, and after entering the paint area, as Ibaka stepped forward to block him, he passed the basketball to Carlos Boozer, and Boozer completed it with an easy throw. Jump shot.

Kevin Durant chose to use a jump shot to declare his dominant energy on this court.

Uh-huh!

His touch was so hot that even Luol Deng put his hand on his face. But he still easily scored 2 points.

"It seems that the fire last night did not affect his condition."

Shaquille O'Neal said on TV.

The media in Oklahoma have been reporting on the fire in Durant's home all day today, and they are worried that this incident will affect his performance. But judging from his expression and state today, it's obvious that he wants to blame Snoopy for this.

Even Tolisman in front of the TV thought that the kid's eyes looking at Snoopy were full of fire.

Daphne on the side quickly explained: "Kevin Durant is a famous new generation star in the NBA. Before Snoopy came out, he was considered the next ruler of the league. But now Snoopy has snatched him away. "

"Oh." Troisman nodded, finally understanding.

Everyone in the house was chatting with each other. Just like tonight's game.

After each team made a good start, they began to enter a long defensive tug-of-war, with both sides raising their defense to playoff level.

The Thunder, composed of Kentrick Perkins, Ibaka, Sofolosa, Collison, Kevin Durant, Westbrook and others, have strong defensive depth. They know that Snoopy is fast. Likes to do pick-and-rolls when on offense. Therefore, the plan they came up with to prevent the pick-and-roll was to squeeze through + soft block, block the penalty area + pinch the three-point line, and put it in the mid-range.

Without Hamilton on the court, the Bulls were somewhat disadvantaged in their mid-range timing.

Plus...Tonight, Coach Brooks' defensive strategy against Snoopy was to shoot a mid-range jumper.

This makes his difficult magic jump shot less useful. He can't create difficulties without difficulties, force himself to twist and throw into the sky, and shoot the ball with his waist straight, right? This seems strange, but the actual hit rate is not high. After all, the limit is forced.

The Bulls' offense stalled.

As a result, they began to spend most of their energy on suppressing basketball, using Bulls players such as Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson, Luol Deng, Snoop Dou, Asik, and Butler to show the tenacity of hand-to-hand combat. Their suppression of both off-ball and on-ball situations was superb.

Charles Barkley in the commentary box even compared them to the Detroit Pistons of the year.

Shaquille O'Neal kept giving thumbs up: "Thibodeau does have two skills on defense."

However, the audience in front of the TV obviously does not have this appreciation for defense.

Thomas Mann and his wife looked drowsy while the Queen of Sweet Song kept her spirits up.

If it wasn't their son's game tonight, if they hadn't waited for Du Kefeng, who had just gotten off the plane, they wouldn't be sitting here watching a group of men chasing a boring basketball, and they were constantly colliding with each other, and sometimes they could pass. Watch in slow motion a player pinching his opponent's waist, or blowing into the ears of a competitor next to him while grabbing a rebound, or even the honest-looking No. 9 player deliberately pulling down his opponent's pants.

"Why are these NBA players so gay?"

Physicist Thorisman once again talked about this topic: "This player named Luol Deng has slapped Snoopy on the butt more than once. Every time Snoopy walks to the free throw line, others are high-fiving him. He always It’s a slap on the butt.”

He seemed to want to prove that his prospective son-in-law was GAY to soothe the sadness of his daughter who was about to marry.

Daphne had to explain to him: "This is a sports etiquette in the NBA and a way for players to show their enthusiasm. Dugger just completed a beautiful offense, so Luol Deng will walk up to express his gratitude."

"Then why did he pull down the pants of player No. 35 just now." Tolisman said incredulously: "This kind of etiquette is simply too funny. If someone slaps my butt, I will definitely slap his hand and swell it. How can you Can you tolerate this? This is like a housewife cooking a table of delicious food, do you still pat her chest to express your appreciation? "

The rigorous physicist watched the basketball game with a critical eye, and he was wary of everything around Snoopy. Even during Snoopy's timeout, a female fan wearing the No. 10 jersey stood up and cheered, and he quickly sat upright.

Son-in-law is such a terrifying creature.

Troisman thought vigilantly in his heart. If possible he would even like to take a slice of Snoopy's physical side and make predictions about whether he will cheat after marriage.

Daphne spread her palms helplessly. This was a completely different conversation.

For her, the game has now reached its most crucial part. There are less than 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter and the two sides are still tied.

The shooting percentages of both teams tonight are not very good, but recently James Harden and Kevin Durant have gradually regained their touch. Westbrook seems to have changed after scoring 15 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Yes, his frequent passing poses a huge challenge to the Bulls' defense.

Therefore, Doug had to increase his aggressiveness. He began to go deep into the penalty area to play post-up singles, and hit the paint like a missile in a fast offensive and defensive state.

This maintained the balance of power between the two sides.

But with the Thunder's three youngsters playing together, can he really win this game without support?

"Hahahaha! Dear mother-in-law, father-in-law, and daughter-in-law, I'm here!!"

At this time, the hearty voice of a famous Chinese real estate developer came from outside the door.
