Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

Los Angeles.

In the villa, Zhuang Yu was lying on the carpet without any image, happily playing with a toy train with Xiao Nuomi. The long track had various houses and plants on the side...

Of course, these are all built with Legos.

After installing batteries on the train, it began to run along the track. Little Nuomi jumped and danced happily on the side, clapping his hands and cheering.

At this time, An Xin came over and gave Zhuang Yu a cold look: "Aren't you going to the gym for training today?"

"No. You are going back to China tomorrow. I am not going anywhere today. I will stay at home with you." Zhuang Yu looked at the running train again. It could actually unload the goods automatically when it reached the end, then turn around on a U-shaped track and return along the same route. He could not help but sigh, "We didn't have this when we were kids."

An Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then you continue to play with your daughter. I'm going to cook."

Zhuang Yu called An Xin and said, "I know your cooking skills have improved greatly, but you don't have to show them off every day. Let's go out for a candlelight dinner today."

An Xin's eyes were like water, and she was quite moved, but she still looked at her daughter: "What about Xiao Nuomi?"

Zhuang Yu chuckled and said, "Brother Yang and Anna will be here soon. Let them take care of Xiao Nuomi for a while. We will be back after dinner."

Only then did An Xin nod with satisfaction.

Tomorrow, the mother and daughter will return to China. After all, it has been a week since they arrived, and An Xin has a lot of things to deal with in China, so she has to go back.

So today Zhuang Yu planned to take An Xin out for a candlelight dinner and spend some time alone together.

I won’t bring Xiao Nuomi today.

......

After a while, Yang Jinsong and Anna arrived.

Zhuang Yu handed Xiao Nuomi over to the two of them, and An Xin gave them a few more instructions before getting in the car with Zhuang Yu and leaving.

Since having a daughter, the two of them have rarely had the opportunity to live alone.

So this time Zhuang Yu made preparations early and booked a high-end restaurant. Candles were placed on the table, and musicians were playing music nearby. With the soothing music, the atmosphere was indeed very romantic.

An Xin's eyes were watery, she was very satisfied with Zhuang Yu's arrangements for today.

The meal took a full hour to finish.

When leaving, An Xin still felt a little reluctant to leave. She felt that time had passed so quickly and thought to herself that if she had known earlier, she would have eaten slower.

The two got in the car, and An Xin soon realized that Zhuang Yu was not driving home, and couldn't help asking, "Where else are you going?"

"Watch a movie."

"what?"

"What? I just want to spend some time alone with you today. Who says that we can't be romantic and watch movies together after getting married?"

"But......"

Without waiting for An Xin to say anything, Zhuang Yu stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The Ferrari sports car let out a low roar and rushed out like a swift cheetah.

Now Yang Jinsong has been driving the Land Rover, and Zhuang Yu bought a sports car during the Chinese New Year last year so that An Xin can drive it when traveling.

Zhuang Yu would only drive it occasionally, because when An Xin was not around, Yang Jinsong was almost always his driver. Zhuang Yu would only drive the Ferrari occasionally when Yang Jinsong had something to do.

The whistling wind blew into the car, blowing An Xin's hair. Feeling the speed of the sports car, An Xin couldn't help feeling a little nervous and excited.

Although she and Zhuang Yu have been married for two years and she has now become a domineering female president, she is still a young woman under 25 years old after all, and she also longs for romance and passion in her heart.

The candlelight dinner is romantic, and the furious rush at this moment is passionate.

They drove at high speed all the way and finally arrived at the cinema after a circle. It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening when they finished watching the movie.

Just when An Xin thought it was time to go home, Zhuang Yu drove the car to a five-star hotel.

"What?" An Xin was stunned.

"Let's enjoy our own world." Zhuang Yu said seriously.

An Xin's face suddenly turned red.

She didn't understand what Zhuang Yu meant. She gave him a charming look, stretched out her hand to pinch the soft flesh on his waist, and said unhappily, "Can't we do it at home? Why do you have to come here?"

Zhuang Yu didn't cry out in pain, but smiled and said, "I have a child at home, so I don't dare to use too much force."

An Xin's face turned even redder after hearing this. She put more strength on her hands until Zhuang Yu cried out in pain. Then she let go of his hands. Her tone was even more charming: "Then you, can't you be gentler?"

Seeing An Xin like this, Zhuang Yu felt a fire burning in his stomach. He didn't have time to say anything else. He threw the car keys to the doorman and took An Xin into the hotel.

After a fierce battle, the clouds and rain stopped.

Looking at the time, it was already past midnight. Zhuang Yu originally planned to stay here for one night, but An Xin was really worried about the child, so the two had to get up and go home.

But everything that needed to be done was done.

From An Xin’s rosy face, Zhuang Yu knew that his wife was very satisfied with his performance today.

......

The next day, Zhuang Yu sent An Xin and Xiao Nuomi to the airport.

The family said goodbye reluctantly.

Finally, Zhuang Yu watched An Xin and Xiao Nuomi approach the boarding gate, then stood there for a long time before turning around and leaving with Yang Jinsong.

"Where are we going?" Yang Jinsong asked, meaning whether we were going back to the villa or to the apartment.

Zhuang Yu replied: "Go to the gym."

An Xin and his daughter had just left, and he didn't want to go back to the villa or the apartment now. He would feel empty and alone.

It’s better to go to the stadium where you have your teammates and it’s a lively crowd.

......

When Zhuang Yu arrived at the gym, his teammates were already training.

Zhuang Yu didn’t come yesterday. Everyone knew that his family had come, and they thought he wouldn’t come today either.

Seeing Zhuang Yu coming, everyone stopped and greeted him with a smile.

After saying hello to his teammates, Zhuang Yu changed his clothes and started training.

After a week, the swelling in his right wrist had long gone away, but he still felt a little uncomfortable when exerting force.

He can't play competitive games yet, but simple dribbling and shooting are not a problem.

Zhuang Yu came to the free throw line and shot a set of free throws. He made 100 of 96. He couldn't help but smile. His touch was still pretty good.

Then he stepped back a little further and took another set of mid-range shots, hitting 100 of 93. Not particularly satisfactory, but okay.

But in the last group of three-pointers, only 100 out of 89 were made.

Zhuang Yu was very dissatisfied now. His hit rate was less than 90%. This was not the performance he should have.

"It seems I need to rest for two more days." Zhuang Yu thought to himself.

The reason why his three-point shooting percentage is less than 90% is because he is farther away from the basket and needs to exert more force when shooting. The injury to his right hand still affects his shooting stability.

At this time, the teammates had completed basic training and came to the sidelines to rest and chat.

"I heard that Antetokounmpo is very arrogant and has declared that he will win the regular season MVP again this season."

"Humph, it's only during this period that Zhuang Yu is out of action due to injury, otherwise do you think he would dare to be so arrogant?"

"that is......"

Zhuang Yu was sidelined this week due to injury, giving other players a chance to perform.

Especially Antetokounmpo and Harden, both of whom performed very well during this week and won the Eastern and Western Conference Player of the Week respectively.

In the regular season MVP rankings, Antetokounmpo surpassed Zhuang Yu and returned to the top of the list.

That's why the Lakers players said that Antetokounmpo was a bit arrogant. As to whether Antetokounmpo actually said those words, it is unknown.

Who can tell whether what the media reports is true or false?

Clarkson couldn't help but ask Zhuang Yu: "Zhuang, when can you come back?"

Zhuang Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think I can do it now, but I don't have the final say. The doctor and Coach Scott have to agree."

Hearing this, the players could only smile bitterly.

This week, without Zhuang Yu, Lopez and Rose, the Lakers can be said to be short of players and their lineup has shrunk seriously.

In the past week, they only won one of the four games, with one win and three losses, and their record is almost tied by the Clippers.

So the players are eager for Zhuang Yu to return to the court.

However, Zhuang Yu’s own words don’t count in this matter. He needs a doctor’s confirmation that he has recovered, and Coach Scott needs to allow him to return to the roster.

As a group of people were talking, Coach Scott and Assistant Coach Madsen arrived.

When they saw Zhuang Yu, they greeted him with a smile, and then called the players together to start group training.

Zhuang Yu came to Coach Scott and said, "Coach, I think I can participate in 5-on-5 confrontation training now."

"No." Coach Scott replied without thinking, "I don't want your opinion. I need the doctor's exact judgment."

Assistant coach Madsen patted Zhuang Yu's arm and consoled him, "Don't worry. We are not troubled by our performance. You don't need to rush to return. Wait until you are fully recovered."

What else could Zhuang Yu say but to agree.

......

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these few days, the Lakers played three games and lost two, but Zhuang Yu still did not return to the court.

After these three games, the Lakers' record has been surpassed by the Clippers and has slipped to second in the Western Conference. Zhuang Yu has yet to return, and people have begun to lose patience.

"It's been almost two weeks and Zhuang Yu hasn't returned yet. Is there any change in his injury?"

"No way, isn't it just a simple wrist contusion?"

"That's just what the Lakers said. Who knows what the real situation is? They won't disclose the inspection report to you. I think Zhuang Yu may not return to the court in the short term. Alas, I thought he could compete for the regular season MVP and scoring title this season, but now it seems that it's not possible."

"yes......"

All kinds of comments were made at once, and even the Lakers fans began to question Zhuang Yu. Could it be that the injury was really not optimistic and different from what was disclosed before?

The Lakers players also heard the discussions and doubts from outside and were a little indignant. Zhuang Yu had only suffered a minor injury, but it seemed as if he would be out for the season.

Zhuang Yu was a little unhappy about this: "Soon, I will be back on the field. I will tell you that the king has never fallen, he is just dormant!"
