Nie Chuan looked at Larven's back, feeling melancholy.

Amid the applause of the audience, DK was silent. Azu's strength made it clear to everyone that the first match of the finals would be a tough one.

Seton slowly walked in front of Larven, without any arrogance on his face because of the victory. He stretched out his hand to Larven and said, "This game is very enjoyable."

Larven raised his head and curled the corners of his lips: "Don't underestimate DK."

"Azu has been able to get to where we are today precisely because we never underestimate any opponent. See you next year, Larven."

The game was over, each team left the field, and Nie Chuan and the others also stood up.

"Reese, I'm going to go say hello to Larven."

Before Nie Chuan turned around, he was grabbed by Carlo: "You and Larven are also familiar with each other?"

"Haha, we played several games together over Christmas break."

Reese did not object and followed him to the UFR lounge.

Nie Chuan walked in, but Reese was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, waiting for him outside the door.

The team was not in a depressed mood, and everyone was talking to each other, but Nie Chuan could still see the regret in their hearts from their expressions.

When Nie Chuan came in, everyone looked over.

"It's DK's point guard Nie Chuan."

"Why is he here?"

At this time, Nie Chuan saw Larven sitting on the chair. He lowered his head, covered with a towel, and his shoulders rose and fell with his breathing. He had not fully recovered yet.

Nie Chuan came and sat down next to Larven, and put a can of Coke on Larven's face: "Want to drink?"

Larven's lips curved up: "How do you feel about today's game?"

"I think you're handsome." Nie Chuan smiled.

"I mean Seton Lind." Larven raised his hand. Nie Chuan knew he was going to push his head, but he didn't have enough strength.

This made Nie Chuan feel even more powerful than before.

"He's very powerful. When I watched Azu's games before, I just thought he was very strong. But now I find that Azu is like a mountain that is difficult to conquer. It's probably because your UFR is the strongest opponent Azu has ever met, otherwise I would never have the chance to see Azu's full strength." Nie Chuan narrowed his eyes and answered seriously.

As long as he closed his eyes, his mind would replay every wonderful pass and score of Seton. When he imagined himself as his opponent, Nie Chuan found that he might not have the reaction ability of LaVine.

"So did you see that?" LaVine asked. "The way he dribbled, the rhythm, the way he used my scoring techniques and the way he worked with Ben Robbins?"

Nie Chuan was stunned. This game was like a classic example of fighting against Azu. Although UFR lost in the end, it gave DK a lot of reference and experience.

"Thank you." Nie Chuan put his arm around Larven's shoulder, "I won't let the things you tried so hard to show me go to waste."

Larven replied with a smile: "Don't be so conceited. I would rather beat Azu and meet you in the finals than be your bride."

Nie Chuan also laughed.

"Now, you are the only point guard in the league who can compete with Seton."

Larven's words stunned Nie Chuan: "Hey, don't flatter me. How can I be such a powerful person?"

At this time, one of Larven's teammates walked past them and pressed his hand on Nie Chuan's shoulder: "This guy is right. We didn't believe Larven when he said you were awesome. But when we saw you fight Raven Harvey and Owen Whishaw, we realized that Larven was never exaggerating."

Nie Chuan looked at Larven. She didn't expect Larven to give her such a high evaluation.

"Where's Reese?" Larven asked softly.

"Right outside."

Larven chuckled and said, "Perhaps only the two of you can fight against the combination of Seton Lind and Ben Robbins. I have tried my best to let you see the true strength of Seton Lind. Don't let my efforts go to waste."

"I know." Nie Chuan clenched his fists.

Walking out of the lounge, Nie Chuan and Reese walked side by side towards the exit. When they passed Azu's lounge, their teammates just came out.

Ben, who turned around to talk to Seton, bumped into Nie Chuan's shoulder unexpectedly.

"Ah! It's you!" Ben showed a delighted expression, "Thank you for coming to cheer me on today! I performed exceptionally well today!"

It was the first time that Nie Chuan looked Ben Robbins in the eyes at such a close distance. He had delicate features and a slender figure, but he was definitely not skinny. Even under his sportswear, Nie Chuan could see that he had beautiful muscular lines.

"Ah, you are great today..." Nie Chuan nodded.

It was so powerful that it shook Ewing's confidence.

At this time, Seton also came out. He flicked Ben's head jokingly and said, "Don't be silly. He is obviously cheering for Larven. But I'm sorry, your opponent in the final is Azu, not UFR."

"It's the same for everyone."

Reese was about to turn around, but Seton suddenly grabbed Nie Chuan's shoulders and dragged him to his side, strangling Nie Chuan's neck with his arms.

It all happened too fast, and Nie Chuan had no time to react. Seton's action did not make it difficult for Nie Chuan to breathe, but it made him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if he was a fragile antelope with his throat bitten by a lion.

"Let him go." Reese turned around, his cold eyes and sharply raised eyebrows made it clear that he was angry.

Seton's face still had a relaxed expression.

"Why are you so nervous? Even if I were to kill him, it wouldn't be here, it would be on the basketball court."

After saying that, Seton raised his arm, and the moment Nie Chuan was freed, he was pulled over by Reese and crashed into Reese's arms.

"You will regret provoking me today."

Reese glanced at Seton and then pulled Nie Chuan away.

"Ah...why do you have to pretend to be annoying and provoke Reese?" Ben shook his head helplessly.

"I'm annoying by nature, do I need to pretend?" Seton asked back with a smile.

"Actually, you like Nie Chuan very much, don't you?"

"Why do you think I like Nie Chuan?" Seton asked with a smile.

"Because I saw you watching the video of UDK vs. KSU on your phone. Reese didn't play in that game due to injury, and the highlight of the whole game was the match between Nie Chuan and Raven Harvey. You watched that game so seriously, your research object couldn't be KSU who had already lost, but Nie Chuan, right?" Ben put on an expression that said, "I know you best in the world."

"Reese Reddington is more suited to fighting alone than working in a team. The guy who can make him give up his freedom to cooperate must have something special that others don't have. Nie Chuan is growing very fast. He is like two different people from the regular season to the finals. In the regular season, he was at most an excellent point guard, but when he entered the finals, especially his battle with Raven Harvey, I felt that this guy was already at the level of an opponent."

"Hey, Seton, do you know why I'm willing to partner with a nasty guy like you?"

"Why?"

"Because even though you are arrogant, you can always look your opponents in the face." Ben said seriously.

"So the reason I'm annoying is because I'm arrogant?"

Ben shook his head, took a few steps forward, distanced himself from Seton, and replied, "Because apart from your ball skills and your face, you're annoying in every way!"

After saying that, Ben ran away as if he was afraid of being retaliated by Seton.

Seton put his hands in his pockets and smiled helplessly: "If I really want to beat you up, can you run away in these few steps?"

At this time, Nie Chuan and Reese had already got in the car.

Nie Chuan closed his eyes and leaned back against the chair.

"What are you thinking about?" Reese asked calmly.

"I found that my memory is getting better and better. The scenes of the game are like slow-motion replays in my head. How LaVine broke through Thurston, how Thurston stole the ball from LaVine, the extent of their body swaying, the steps of their feet are so clear..."

"That's because your reaction time is faster than before, so your brain is able to retain the images."

"Thuston is too fast. I'm afraid I can't catch up with him."

"It's good to admit the gap, but don't underestimate yourself. In the past, you never thought you could match Raven Harvey, nor did you think you could score consecutively from Owen Whishaw. So now you think you can't catch up with Seton, but when the game really starts, maybe you can already block Seton's shot."

Reese's voice was calm, as if he was stating a fact.

Nie Chuan pursed his lips and smiled.

There are still a few days before the final, and Nie Chuan decided to adjust his condition.

That night, he lay in bed, leaning against Reese's arms and browsing his Moments. Reese was holding a book. Suddenly, Nie Chuan received a text message from Larven. Nie Chuan's eyes almost popped out.

"Oh my god! Larven is coming to see me tomorrow!"

"Looking to you for comfort?" Reese asked nonchalantly.

"No, he asked Owen to come with him!" Nie Chuan stood up, "Two against two with us!"

“That’s a good thing.”

"ah?"

"Larvin has done a deep study on Seton, and Owen is the shooting guard in the league with the closest shooting percentage to Ben Robbins. The two of them can simulate the cooperation between Seton and Ben for us."
