Half an hour before the game.
Su Yan and Salena exchanged a glance. After all, they had gone out together, experienced life-and-death situations, and almost… Everyone else came to cheer wearing his jersey.
It was only right to say hello.
But… that was all for now.
15 minutes before the game.
The two teams' warm-ups reached their final moments, everyone adjusting themselves to their peak condition.
Ready for battle at any moment.
At this moment, all the fans' attention returned to the court, focusing on the players of the two teams, led by Su Yan and LeBron.
The director also successively gave the camera to Su Yan and LeBron.
"In the end, it's still me who's in the spotlight~"
LeBron, who had been displeased earlier, looked at himself on the big screen, and after feeling countless eyes on him, he felt a little satisfied and reassured.
He was The Little Emperor.
He always enjoyed being the center of attention.
He felt that he played well enough, only lacking a championship ring to crown himself!
Who knew.
At this moment, Du the Handsome held a bouquet of 99 roses and, under the astonished gazes of countless fans, walked up to Salena.
Yes.
Salena was wearing Su Yan's number seven jersey, enthusiastically watching the game at Su Yan's home court.
As a result.
Du the Handsome just walked over with the flowers.
Salena's fame goes without saying, and Du the Handsome, a third-year player, was playing at a Scoring Champion level, so his popularity was not bad either.
With such a collision.
It instantly attracted the attention of countless fans.
The director, not one to shy away from drama, immediately shifted the camera from LeBron to Salena and Durant in the front row of the stands.
"Kevin? Roses? What… what is he trying to do?! Is he going to confess to Salena here, at Su Yan's home court? How audacious is that?!"
"He's a ruthless one!"
"Can Kevin seize the opportunity and win Salena over?"
"Interesting!"
The fans munched on sunflower seeds, eagerly watching the drama unfold.
Courtside.
Durant walked over, handed the flowers, and whispered, "Hello, Ms. Salena, I'm your fan. This is a gift for you."
Salena scanned Durant from head to toe, her heart unmoved, and smiled faintly, "No, thank you for your kindness."
Rejected.
Rejected on the spot.
"Ah?"
Harden, the strategist behind him, was stunned. "She really refused directly? Didn't give any face at all?!"
"Oh, this."
Durant had thought of a million ways to display his charm, but who knew… he wouldn't even get a chance.
She wouldn't even take the flowers.
She didn't want to talk to him at all.
What to do now? Waiting online, it's urgent!!!
Durant's body stiffened on the spot. If it weren't for his dark skin, his face would probably have turned as red as a monkey's butt.
Utterly embarrassed.
So embarrassed he could dig a three-bedroom apartment with his feet.
He panicked for a moment, then quickly turned to look at his "military advisor" Harden above, urging him to quickly offer a solution.
Stunned.
Harden was also stunned.
Theoretically, in such a public setting, Salena should have accepted even a small fan's gift.
To refuse outright.
This was an unforeseen situation.
Harden didn't know how to resolve it.
As long as Salena didn't accept, then no matter if Durant put them aside, threw them away, or took them back.
Du the Handsome would be the one embarrassed.
This was a dead end.
Harden also didn't know how to solve it.
Fortunately… at this moment, a female fan of Durant appeared in time, actively hugged Durant, and asked with a smile, "These flowers are so beautiful, can you give them to me?"
"Ah? Good… good!"
Durant was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately gave the flowers in his hand to the female fan.
He was immensely grateful to her for helping him out.
"Ah? She refused directly!"
"That's too harsh."
"Kevin is still the rookie of the year from '07, an all-star this year, and a future superstar player.
He also has a certain inexplicable charisma.
Even if she doesn't like him, at least accepting the flowers and acknowledging him should be fine, right?
I really didn't expect such a direct refusal."
"Idiot, while Kevin isn't bad, Su Yan is too outstanding! He completely surpasses Kevin in every aspect, and he's also Salena's lifesaver.
Of course, Salena has to maintain her distance."
"You have a point. If it were me, my heart would also be completely with Su Yan, unable to accommodate a second person!"
"Kevin bravely showed his love, his courage is commendable, but… leaving in such a dejected manner is somewhat pathetic~"
"It's a pity it's not you who stays with me till the end~ Carry him out, next one!"
"…"
The fans were amused, watching Durant's predicament.
On Salena's side.
If it were truly a fan's gift, she might have accepted it. Kevin Durant had some fame.
She knew that.
So… for you to come over with roses at this juncture to strike up a conversation, your intentions couldn't be more obvious.
Salena's heart had long belonged to Su Yan; her eyes could not tolerate any other man.
Let alone a third-year Kevin, even a Kevin who reached the NBA Finals in 2012 and won back-to-back FMVPs in 2018.
Salena wouldn't care for him.
In the stands above.
"Sigh… what a huge embarrassment."
Durant, who had sat back down, immediately lowered his head, not letting anyone see him.
Westbrook patted Durant's back and comforted him, "Brother, this isn't your fault.
Some things are innate.
Effort won't help with everything. You're excellent, stay confident, you'll find someone better!"
"That's right."
Harden also shrugged, "I can only think of one reason why Salena would refuse so decisively.
Su Yan is too handsome, too charming.
So much so that Salena has to maintain her composure and show that she only likes him, to gain his favor.
There's really nothing you can do.
It's not that you, Kevin, aren't excellent, but… Su Yan is truly too monstrous. Give up!!!"
"Give up?"
Durant, who had been looking down, suddenly raised his head, his eyes slightly red, like a beast about to go mad.
"Why should I give up?"
Durant roared, "I've already lost face, so what's there to fear? It's just an Undrafted Player rookie. Once I crush him and let Salena feel my power.
She will definitely despise Su Yan and throw herself into my arms."
Harden:???
Dude, didn't you understand? This is no longer a matter of strength.
Westbrook:???
Brother, even if you rub Su Yan's face on the court, you'll probably still be completely outclassed in the romance department~
Wake up.
Salena is your "goddess," but she can't be your "girlfriend," much less the "sexy bombshell" you can taste.
The one involved is confused, the bystander is clear.
Second Brother and Third Brother were outsiders and saw clearly, while Durant was deeply entangled and unable to extricate himself.
The two of them couldn't say much, only echoing him to make him feel better.
Durant's bold proposal was an interlude that embarrassed him, made him a laughingstock, and added a different kind of fun to the game.
The atmosphere continued to soar.
"Boom!"
In the passionate atmosphere of the stadium.
8 PM.
The most exciting nationwide battle between the New York Knicks and the Cavaliers, on the eve of the All-Star Weekend… officially began!!!
