"How many points did Ewing score?" Larvin asked.

"Seven three-pointers, twenty-one points," Owen replied.

"How many points did you score when you played against Azu last year?"

"Thirty-two points," Owen replied.

"Four more three-pointers and Ewing will surpass your record." There was a hint of gloating in Larvin's voice.

But while gloating, Larven's heart was cold. There was no shooter like Owen and Ben in his UFR, and now Ewing has also become a first-class shooter, DK is even more powerful.

At this time, Edgar was about to pass the ball to Ben, but Nie Chuan was almost on their passing line. Everyone was guessing that Nie Chuan was going to intercept Azu's pass again. Who knew that Seton seemed to have anticipated this, and in one leap, his hand caught the pass before Nie Chuan, and nimbly bypassed Nie Chuan and rushed to the DK basket.

Edgar, who made the pass, had a layer of cold sweat on his back. If Seton hadn't known that Nie Chuan was well prepared, they might have lost the ball again!

Seton brought the ball into the penalty area and faced Reese. He kept using fake moves to try to get past Reese, but Reese's movements were quite neat, and the pressure revealed in his eyes made Seton feel a sense of determination to win. Seton didn't want to waste time entangled with Reese, and Nie Chuan was about to reach behind him. Once they formed a pincer attack, the probability of him losing the ball would be very high.

Seton decisively passed the ball to Ben, who jumped directly. Unexpectedly, Nie Chuan, who was originally rushing behind Seton, suddenly changed direction and rushed over.

What the hell are this guy's ankles made of!

Ben held his breath. Nie Chuan had already disrupted his two rapid shots. He had to keep this shot!

Ben shot quickly, and Nie Chuan's height in the air made Ben inexplicably afraid, but the ball still passed over Nie Chuan's fingertips and went into the basket.

Azu once again took the lead with a slight advantage.

But Nie Chuan didn't give Azu a chance to breathe, and quickly broke through the joint defense of Ben and Bracey. Facing Seton, Nie Chuan just shook his shoulder to pretend to change direction, and then passed the ball to Reese. Seton immediately turned around and chased Reese, followed by Nie Chuan. Reese passed the ball to Montenegro between Jushi and Edgar, seemingly thrilling but actually confident.

Montenegro jumped without hesitation in the face of the Boulder's aerial defense. Everyone thought he would compete with the Boulder in strength, but unexpectedly, Montenegro actually sent the ball into the basket from under the Boulder's armpit.

At that moment, it seemed as if time stopped and vision froze, and Heishan's tall body moved unexpectedly flexibly in the air.

"Well done!" Commentator Robert couldn't help but stand up and applaud. "Who says Montenegro only has strength! It's not just dunking that counts as playing basketball, this is also his ability!"

The audience expressed their appreciation for Montenegro with loud applause.

Azu had no intention of letting DK have an easy time. Seton dribbled the ball and performed a hat trick. After passing Ewing and Carlo, he pretended to shoot at Nie Chuan to induce Nie Chuan to jump. Nie Chuan realized that it was a fake move, and jumped up with the coordination but his legs did not leave the ground at all.

Nie Chuan thought Seton would choose to cut in from the left or right, but he didn't expect him to take a step back to create distance between him and Nie Chuan, and pass the ball to Bracey on the other side. This was a complete replica of the step back that Nie Chuan was good at.

Bracey broke through Montenegro's defense and was about to make a layup, but Reese rushed over and completely blocked Bracey's shot at the critical moment. The speed of his shot was astonishing. For Bracey, it seemed that his neck was chopped off by the opponent.

There were exclamations one after another, and everyone was sweating.

But although Reese knocked the ball down, Edgar took the ball away and then dunked again. Everything happened too fast, Montenegro jumped too late, and Edgar scored.

"Um..." Larven covered his mouth. At this time, Azu brought the score back to 4 points.

"Don't underestimate the other players of Azu. Even though Seton and Ben have taken away all the limelight, it would not be possible for Azu to get to where it is today if it relied on just the two of them," Owen said.

"Isn't it the same for DK?" Larven raised his chin and smiled.

At this time, Nie Chuan took the ball and started a tug-of-war with Seton again. Reese arrived quickly, and Bracey also joined the battle. For a while, it was extremely chaotic.

"The intensity of this game is really no less than that of the NBA..." Engel pounded his chest hard.

"It's hard to see such high-level and high-quality confrontations even in the NBA." Robert's fingers subconsciously touched the edge of his pocket.

There were less than three minutes left in the game, and Nie Chuan knew he was tired, very tired.

Just like the fight against Raven Harvey, his legs seemed to be filled with lead. He was not sure how fast he could run or how high he could jump, or whether he could continue to intercept Sethston's pass. But he knew he could not relax, he had to hold on. He had a hunch that as long as he could get through this time, he would go further in the future!

Seton could sense from Nie Chuan's breathing that the pressure he had put on Nie Chuan in the first half of the game had already taken effect. Now all it took was a straw at the right time to break the camel's back.

And Nie Chuan also understood this point.

His breakthroughs on both sides were blocked by Seton. Seton's close defense was aimed at Nie Chuan's retreat. He did not give him space or leeway, which made it difficult for Nie Chuan to find a suitable angle to pass the ball.

Time passed by little by little, Nie Chuan clenched his teeth, his eyes swept over Seton's shoulder and saw Reese who was being defended by Bracey.

Although it was just a quick glance, Nie Chuan could clearly discern Reese's expression, his gaze, and even the determination in his heart.

You always believed in me so much that I felt I could do anything and surpass any opponent that the whole world thought I could not surpass.

Your trust is too blind. You are such a rational guy, but I believe all the answers you believe.

The tired Nie Chuan suddenly tensed up his leg muscles, accelerated suddenly, and rushed to Seton's left side.

I let everything flow according to my feelings and stop thinking about what to do.

Because thinking is a waste of time.

Countless eyes were caught by Nie Chuan's attack, and the whole world's breathing stopped.

Nie Chuan dribbled the ball and turned around. The ball bounced past Seton's left hand, was caught by Nie Chuan's right hand, and then hit Seton's legs. When it bounced, Seton quickly turned around to retrieve the ball. Nie Chuan took the opportunity to go around him. He stretched out his arms and shifted his center of gravity so quickly that he seemed to be about to pounce in front of Seton.

Screams spread in the air, but Nie Chuan calmed himself. It all happened in the blink of an eye.

After regaining his balance, Nie Chuan dribbled the ball from behind to avoid Seton's second interception, and walked away in style!

At the moment when Nie Chuan jumped under the basket, the audience seemed to be captured by some emotion, and they shouted "Go!"

Even Owen and Larven in the stands couldn't help but stand up.

Nie Chuan stretched his legs backwards and bounced into the air like a slingshot that was about to break.

The Boulder was determined to defend the ball, and his roar was shocking, but Nie Chuan's jump was too high. His ability to stay in the air allowed him to stretch his body and then quickly tighten it. The height of the Boulder dropped, and Bracey and Seton jumped up again.

Seton's expression was resolute, and his eyes seemed to want to kill Nie Chuan, but Nie Chuan pressed forward and dunked the ball between Seton and Bracey's arms.

There was a loud bang and the audience opened their eyes wide and couldn't breathe.

"Good!" Owen clapped his hands vigorously, followed by continuous cheers and applause.

The moment Nie Chuan fell, he knew he was unable to keep his balance, but someone supported his back.

That scorching temperature, that touch of the palm, he knew who the other person was without even turning around.

With less than a minute and a half left in the game, DK was only two points behind Azu.

"I'll give you thirty seconds to rest. After thirty seconds, we will make Azu completely despair." Reese turned and ran away.

Nie Chuan looked at Reese's back. He always knew what he needed and how to achieve that goal.

"Nie Chuan is dying..." Larven said worriedly.

"More than a minute, enough for the game result to be reversed several times. And for Nie Chuan, he only needs to hold on for thirty seconds. Thirty seconds is enough for him to contain Seton at the most critical moment." Owen breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe before the game, countless people were more optimistic about Azu, but up to now, no one is sure whether Azu can really win in the end.

Although Seton was also very tired, looking at Nie Chuan who was standing not far away and running slowly, obviously trying to buy time to rest, he knew that he had to score as soon as possible!

He faced Carlo and Reese, and the speed and variability of his crossovers became faster and faster, but Reese's defense could be described as precise. Carlo put pressure on Seton from the side, and Seton calmly dribbled past Carlo but faced Reese's interception. The situation was extremely dangerous. He passed the ball to the side and Ben got the ball and shot again!

"Guard him--" Coach Gordon yelled from the sidelines.

Ewing, who was closest to Ben, ran over madly. Seeing that Ben's hand had already raised the ball above his head, Ewing jumped up desperately and poked the ball with his fingertips.

The ball hit the basket, and Montenegro was stuck on the outside by a huge rock under the basket, putting him in an unfavorable position.

Montenegro gritted their teeth and was determined to grab the ball even though they were in a bad position!

The two tallest players in the game jumped up at the same time, and the scene was extremely spectacular!

Montenegro's hand reached out from behind and snatched the ball away the moment the boulder hit the ball.

The scene was once again in a frenzy, and that sense of power could only be experienced by seeing it with one's own eyes.

Montenegro passed the ball quickly, and the speed of the ball was extremely fast: "Gotta score!"

Seton jumped up to intercept the ball, but the speed and height of the ball made him miss it.

"This goal is really in the style of Nie Chuan's quick pass! He is worthy of being a teammate!" Commentator Robert exclaimed, "Montenegro has once again proved his ability!"

Reese received the ball, which motivated everyone to run. Seton followed closely behind him. Edgar and The Rock quickly returned to defense, and Bracey lowered his center of gravity in an attempt to steal the ball.

Reese passed the ball at the most thrilling moment, Carlo ran to the basket with the ball and was about to score with a layup!

Edgar and The Rock made a double interception. Everyone thought that Carlo had to pass the ball to Montenegro who came to receive the ball, but Carlo had nothing in his eyes at this moment except his target.

He changed a layup into a dunk, and with a spin, he passed through the boulder and Edgar. The shot went straight into the heart of everyone under the basket, shocking them so much that they looked up and could not recover from their shock.

“Oh——” exclamations rang out everywhere.

Engel patted his chest and said: "DK is really going to break everyone's heart!"

Carlo turned around and saw Ewing giving him thumbs up with both hands. It was so rare for this guy to praise him!

"It seems that Reese is not the only scoring star of DK." Larven exhaled, "Luckily we didn't meet DK in the quarterfinals."

"There are Montenegro and Carlo under the basket, both scoring and rebounding. Ewing on the outside is definitely the highlight of this game, and his popularity is no less than Ben Robbins. Reese cuts in to score and is ready to kill at any time, and Nie Chuan unexpectedly challenges Seton. If they win, this is the so-called best lineup."

There were 56 seconds left in the game. Azu, who was tied, launched another fast break. Seton ran past Nie Chuan with the ball. Nie Chuan listened to his own heartbeat: one, two, three...

Then Reese's voice was heard: "Run! Nie Chuan!"

Just like waking up from a big dream, Nie Chuan turned around and ran away quickly, running amid the boiling sound of  the basketball hall.

"So fast..." Larven was dumbfounded, "I thought...he was dying..."

Nie Chuan easily got rid of Ben who came to intercept him with a fake move. His movements were so agile and smooth as if he was assisted by God!

Carlo has been dribbled past by Seton, and he goes straight to the basket!

Montenegro was stuck by a huge rock and couldn't jump. Reese and Nie Chuan came to Seton's side, one on the left and one on the right. The two of them blocked the basket tacitly. Seton passed the ball from his right hand to his left hand, and his left hand was about to pass the ball to Ben, but Nie Chuan suddenly changed his balance in mid-air and slammed the ball down. Carlo came and took the ball away. Bracey and Edgar went to intercept, and Carlo passed the ball to Ewing without hesitation!

At this time, Ewing had just run across the center line, and Ben was about to steal the ball behind him. Ewing suddenly moved sideways, avoided Ben, and immediately jumped up!

"Don't be so anxious!" shouted commentator Robert.

Montenegro, The Rock, Carlo and Edgar all rushed to the basket to start a rebounding battle, but Ewing stood where he was, with his head half raised like a persistent pilgrim.

The ball fell into the basket calmly, and DK overtook Azu with 24 seconds left in the game!

“Ewing is awesome!”

"It's a perfect shot!"

Ewing knew very well that he could shoot so confidently because he had the most reliable teammates!

But it wasn't over yet, Azu's counterattack was even crazier. Seton dribbled the ball, his pace and rhythm made Nie Chuan exhausted and embarrassed, and he almost fell. Seton passed Nie Chuan and entered the three-second zone, but Nie Chuan followed closely. The audience dared not breathe, and all the commentators forgot to comment.

Seton dribbled the ball with his left hand, avoiding Nie Chuan on the right, but Nie Chuan deliberately slowed down a beat and came to Seton's back to steal the ball. This threat forced Seton to pass the ball quickly. Edgar received the ball but was closely marked by Carlo, so he passed the ball to Ben. Ben, who was always confident that his ball control ability was at least better than Ewing, failed to shake off Ewing with three consecutive fake moves. The tenacity in Ewing's eyes put Ben under great pressure, so he had to pass the ball to Bracey.

But before the ball reached Bracey's hands, a figure passed by and the ball was taken away by Nie Chuan.

Seton turned his head to show a surprised look. Where on earth did Nie Chuan get his strength and speed? He was simply not a human!

Soon, such surprise turned into horror, and he ran after it.

There are ten seconds left.

Nie Chuan rushed all the way with the ball, Ben was shaken by him and fell to the ground, then he shook his shoulder to lead Bracey to run to the left, and then a probing step made Edgar almost hit Bracey. Nie Chuan used the same method that Seton had used on him before, and was even faster and more agile. As soon as Seton caught up, Nie Chuan rushed to the basket and jumped up. Seton was about to knock him down, and Nie Chuan took the ball back. This was not Nie Chuan's first layup. He still maintained his altitude, but the boulder also rushed over and jumped up to block it. Everything was extremely thrilling, and Nie Chuan took the ball back again.

Many spectators in the stands stood up at the same time: Could this be a double layup?

Many people also remember the scene when Nie Chuan faced off against Raven Harvey under the basket. This point guard has a scoring ability that is not inferior to that of a small forward!

After Nie Chuan got the ball back, Bracey had already jumped up. Seton, who was falling, looked up at Nie Chuan's eyes. This was the coldness and sharpness he had never seen before, as if he had cut through all the defenses and reshaped another, wider area!

Nie Chuan threw the ball backwards. It was different from Seton's backward pass. Nie Chuan threw the ball very high. Seton ran over to steal the ball the moment he landed. However, what he didn't expect was that Reese actually jumped up less than two steps after the free throw line. In everyone's sight, he seemed to be walking in space. His body leaned back slightly, his legs stretched out, and he caught the ball in the air!

A dunk from such a long distance!

Such jumping ability is crazy!

Time seemed to freeze, making people unable to move. Reese's dunked the ball into the basket with an impact force that shattered everything. The frozen time began to flow wildly at that moment.

In response to the rhythm of Reese's dunk, Nie Chuan landed just in time.

The two pull-ups just now consumed the last of his strength. He staggered to the ground, but kept his head raised, watching Reese's powerful dunk.

Everything was dazzling, and the high ceiling seemed to be about to crack and fall down.

He remembered the dunk he made when he and Reese first met.

Amid the clamor, everything that Nie Chuan could see was stripped away, revealing its truest form.

Reese lowered his head and looked at Nie Chuan.

That was the most powerful gaze in the world that made Nie Chuan keep chasing after it.

The game time jumped to zero and the score was fixed at 95 to 90.

Nie Chuan panted and slowly got up.

"DK won..." Larven said blankly.

"Ah... yes. Unexpected, yet natural." Owen's voice trembled slightly.

"I won...right?" Mao Xian rubbed his eyes hard.

Zhou Bin opened his mouth halfway but couldn't speak.

Reese bent down, pulled up Nie Chuan who was sitting on the ground, and held him tightly in his arms.

The sound in the entire  stadium was deafening, and Nie Chuan felt that he would be knocked over by the sound.

The competition committee was announcing the champion of this competition, but Nie Chuan could no longer hear anything.

He was breathing heavily as if the world was ending, even though his brain knew very well that the end of the world was just an illusion.

Reese pressed his head into his arms, his left ear against Reese's chest, and his right ear was held by Reese's palm.

The sound of breathing was like a tide or a rolling cloud, carrying Nie Chuan's thoughts along.

Nie Chuan raised his hands and hugged Reese's back tightly.

The DK players rushed up frantically. Montenegro, Carlo, and Ewing went forward and hugged Reese and Nie Chuan.

"We won! We won! We really won!"

"Oh my god! I really won!"

Chuck, Peter and the others also rushed over. Nie Chuan and Reese were surrounded so tightly that almost no one could see them.

Nie Chuan's head was lifted up by the other party, and his lips were suddenly held in his mouth. It was a kiss that was crazy enough to destroy Nie Chuan. The two were inseparable with their lips and tongues intertwined.

Such arrogance, such recklessness, this was something Nie Chuan had never felt before.

Nie Chuan responded to Reese vigorously, their auras collided and merged with each other, as if completing a transformation.

Reese didn't say anything to him, but Nie Chuan felt that Reese said a lot to him.

Carlo and Ewing, who were hugging them, showed surprised expressions, but they kept hugging them tightly to cover the two guys. Under the attention of tens of thousands of people and the flashing spotlights, they still maintained their own world and felt each other.

Countless scenes flashed through Nie Chuan's mind. Whether it was the first time Reese appeared in front of him, the first time he practiced with him on the playground, the first time he took him to the warehouse  basketball court, or the first time he kissed him in the school  library  ... Nie Chuan discovered that so many of his first times were with Reese.

Reese always led him to do things that he had never thought possible and were beyond his dreams.

Tears fell from the corners of Nie Chuan's eyes, and the two of them could no longer withstand the overwhelming force, and finally fell to the ground. Reese kept raising his arms in front of Nie Chuan to protect him.

This is the world that Reese gave him. It looks very small and can’t accommodate anything.

But in fact it is vast and boundless, encompassing everything.

The DK school flag was flying everywhere and the cheerleaders were dancing on the sidelines.

Owen, Larven and other audience members stood up and applauded, cheering for DK.

Commentator Robert seemed extremely excited: "You know what? This is not a comeback, but a return of the king! After many years, DK not only entered the NCAA finals, but also won the championship back!"

"This is incredible... but it would be so unacceptable if DK wasn't the champion!" Engel clapped his hands vigorously, his voice trembling, "This is the highest quality game I have seen in the NCAA in recent years!"

"I see a promising team and a future to look forward to!"

Looking at the cheering DK, AZU's players stood there in a daze, as if they had not yet realized that they had lost the championship.

Ben blinked, looked up at the score, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He lowered his head and his shoulders shook continuously.

Sethton beside him raised his hand and held his head, rubbing it vigorously: "Why are you crying?"

"We...we lost..."

Edgar, The Rock, and Bracey also came over and hugged each other to comfort each other.

Seton looked at DK who was in uncontrollable joy. Nie Chuan and Reese were no longer visible.

"This is just the beginning of another competition...Finally, an interesting opponent has appeared." Seton's lips slowly rose.

After half an hour, the DK players finally stood up. Nie Chuan, who had no strength left, slowly came to the center of the court.

Seton walked over and held out his hand to the two of them: "You are very strong."

Nie Chuan was still adjusting his breathing. He did not expect Seton to admit the strength of his opponent so directly.

"See you next year. Every year, the NCAA produces eye-opening newcomers, and those who have experienced this game will continue to improve, so it is still unknown who will win the next time we meet on the court."

"Of course." Reese's voice was cold.

Nie Chuan just felt that this world was unreal.

It seemed that after waking up from a good sleep, he would become that lazy college freshman again.

They were awarded, interviewed by reporters, listened to Coach Gordon's speech, etc. Nie Chuan felt that his head was empty, except for the strength and warmth of Reese when he held him tightly.

DK did not rush back to the city where the school was located. Everyone was extremely tired, so they rushed to a nearby hotel to rest.

Coach Gordon was so busy that he went crazy. His cell phone kept vibrating. Countless reporters, media and even NBA scouts were looking for him, making him overwhelmed.

The news of DK's victory has spread all over the Internet. One can imagine the crazy state the school is in at the moment.

Nie Chuan's soul usually wanders to the hotel room. His cell phone kept vibrating. It was a call from Mr. Lin En, but he had no strength to answer it. Instead, he fell directly on the bed.

Before he completely fell into unconsciousness, he felt someone put one leg on the edge of the bed, lowered his head, took off his outer  sports jacket for him, and kissed his spine and the back of his neck through  his sports T-shirt. It was a deep emotion that could not be erased and would be missed if you didn't feel it carefully.

The other person turned him over, took off his shoes and pulled up the quilt.

Nie Chuan raised his hand and gently clasped the other person's wrist, murmuring: "Reese..."

"Yeah." The other person sat down next to him.

"Am I dreaming..."

Winning the finals championship is a dream, playing  basketball is a dream, even Reese is a dream?

"From now on, no matter what kind of dream you have, you must tell me."

"Why?" Nie Chuan's head became increasingly heavy.

"So I can make it a reality with you."

That voice made Nie Chuan feel extremely at ease, and he fell asleep.

At this time, in the room opposite, Carlo and Ewing were both exhausted and collapsed on the bed.

Ewing kept mumbling to himself, "Am I dreaming? We actually won the championship?"

"How could it be such a coincidence that we were both having the same dream?" Carlo hilariously crumpled up a tissue and threw it at Ewing's face.

"Hey, I wish you could shoot this well in the game." Ewing turned his head to look at Carlo, "Hey... did you see Reese kiss Nie Chuan?"

"See? Didn't we block them together? Are there any better teammates than us in the world?" Carlo rested his head on his arms and looked at the ceiling. "I was wondering before, how come these two guys have such good tacit understanding? After all this fuss, they are actually together!"

"Then... Reese and Nie Chuan are so dazzling this time, will they go to play in the NBA?" Ewing asked worriedly.

"You are also very dazzling. Do you want to go to NBA?" Carlo asked with a smile.

"Of course I want to... but not now. I want to play two more years in the NCAA... here we have you, Montenegro, and everyone. There are things that the NBA doesn't have." Ewing looked at the ceiling, "All NBA players who came from the NCAA will miss this time. I don't want to skip it, and I don't want to miss it."

"Okay, let's enjoy it together." Carlo turned his head and smiled at Ewing.

When Nie Chuan woke up in the hotel room, Reese was lying next to him, holding him with one arm and browsing the online version of a  sports magazine on his mobile phone with the other.

The sound of a car horn came from outside the window. Nie Chuan rubbed his face and turned his head to face Reese's profile. The moment he looked away, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Why are you looking at me?" Reese turned his head and looked back at Nie Chuan.

"Because you're handsome." Nie Chuan slowly smiled. He raised his hand and took Reese's phone. "What are you browsing?"

"Mr. Lynn wrote the column for both of us."

"Really? What did he write?" Nie Chuan couldn't wait to browse.

Mr. Lynn's professional writing is admirable. He completely analyzed the technical characteristics of each DK player, compared them one by one with the players of other teams, and predicted the major awards of this NCAA based on the data.

Nie Chuan opened his eyes wide: "Ah, Seton is indeed the steal king! But...but I am only a little bit behind him!"

"But you were selected as the best point guard." Reese whispered, lowering his head to kiss Nie Chuan's forehead.

The thrilling game was over, and Nie Chuan enjoyed such a peaceful life. He leaned on Reese and continued to watch.

"Hey, Ewing's stats are pretty good too, he's expected to be selected as the best point guard this year!"

"And Montenegro. Mr. Lin En commented that he is the undisputed rebounding champion."

"Carlo is also a candidate for the best power forward. This year, our DK is flourishing!" Nie Chuan smiled, then became serious again, "But you will definitely become the MVP... Reese, at this point, there must be a top NBA team that wants you to join. Will you go?"

"What about you?" Reese asked.

"How should I know? I'm not you!" Nie Chuan said with a smile.

Reese did not answer him. Nie Chuan knew that Reese needed to think carefully about such an important question.

"Why do you think I went to the NBA? For money? For fame?" Reese's hand went around Nie Chuan's shoulder and slowly stroked the hair by his ear.

"For money? You don't need money." Nie Chuan seemed to have heard some ridiculous reason, "Reputation is even more impossible. You don't care what others think of you. If one day you want to go to the NBA, it must be because there are no opponents in the NCAA worth conquering."

"Yeah." Reese pressed Nie Chuan's head towards him and kissed him again.

"Why do I feel you are so pious when you kiss me? As if I am more important than the NCAA finals champion?" Nie Chuan said with a silly smile.

"You are more important than anything else."

Nie Chuan didn't know what he saw, and suddenly shouted: "Oh my God, Mr. Lin En actually said that you are the emperor of our DK!"

"Um."

"Wait...why am I the 'little emperor'?"

"It's like a deck of cards and we're the only pair of aces in it," Reese replied.

"The point is not the trump card, the point is why I am the 'little emperor'!" Nie Chuan's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.

Reese looked at Nie Chuan's legs under the quilt with a hint of meaning and said, "You are very 'small' to begin with."

"You are younger!" Nie Chuan stood up and sat astride Reese's body.

Reese lay down calmly: "You look very energetic, so move yourself."

"Only a devil would dare to move himself!" Nie Chuan's face flushed instantly. He threw his phone away and was about to strangle Reese's neck, but Reese grabbed him and held him in his arms.

"Xiaochuan, I will take you to meet someone very important to me this afternoon."

Reese's voice was more solemn and serious than ever before.

Nie Chuan listened to his heartbeat and nodded: "Okay."

Who is this person?

Was it Reese's sister Vivian? Or his father James? Or did Reese find him a private coach to prepare for next year's NCAA finals?

In such confusion, Nie Chuan and Reese finished the lunch that was delivered to the room.

Reese actually took out a suit from the closet, and Nie Chuan didn't even know when he put it in the suitcase.

He stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his collar. Nie Chuan looked at his back, which was straight and elegant.

This gave Nie Chuan an illusion, as if he and Reese had spent many, many years together, and when all the ups and downs of youth had calmed down, he would sit by the bed in their room like this, watching Reese put on clothes that did not belong on the court.

"I don't have a suit." Nie Chuan said.

Reese turned around, held his tie, walked between Nie Chuan's legs, lowered his head, and kissed his forehead: "It's okay, you don't look like it in a suit."

Nie Chuan curled his lips: "What... You are wearing a suit and kissing me again, it feels like we are getting married."

"Then will you marry me?" Reese asked softly in Nie Chuan's ear.

Sometimes, Nie Chuan really didn't understand why a guy like Reese, who was usually cold and icy, could occasionally say something so tempting?

"If you say you want to marry me, I'll agree."

Reese chuckled and pulled Nie Chuan up.

As soon as they went out, they met several  sports reporters . Reese grabbed the confused Nie Chuan and rushed down the safe passage.

Nie Chuan was quite embarrassed at first, but he immediately began to enjoy the feeling of running down the stairs with Reese.

When they rushed out of the hotel and got into a taxi, Nie Chuan laughed foolishly: "Hey, do you think we have to run up the stairs when we come back to the hotel?"

Reese raised a faint smile on his lips and raised his hand to rub Nie Chuan's head.

Their taxi stopped at an intersection.

Nie Chuan tilted his head and saw a Hawaii travel advertisement at a bus stop on the street.

The blue ocean and the dazzling sunlight.

"Hey, Reese, you know what? I have imagined more than once that when you and I grow old, will we support each other and walk on the beach at dusk?"

Nie Chuan stared at the blue ocean in a trance.

Reese slowly approached, and at the moment the car started, he stretched out his arms and put them around Nie Chuan: "For me, the sun has just risen. I will always hold you tightly, so you just need to keep walking in the sunshine, and don't need to think about whether it is sunrise or sunset."

Nie Chuan raised the corners of his lips.

Their car stopped at the door of a coffee shop. Before the door was opened, Nie Chuan smelled the rich aroma of coffee.

Reese stepped forward and pushed the door open.

This cafe was like another world. They walked forward step by step. At the end of the cafe, there sat a man in a suit.

The moment he saw Reese and Nie Chuan, a deep and wise smile flashed across his lips.

"This is Coach Melson, the head coach of this year's NBA champion LA. He is a retired NBA player who once spent some time in China. He is very interested in us."

Nie Chuan stood there stupidly, looking at the other person with wide eyes.

Melson smiled and took out a bar of chocolate from his pocket and threw it to Nie Chuan: "It's been a long time since we last met. You have grown up."

"Yes……"

Nie Chuan suddenly came to his senses.

Melson - the first person to teach Nie Chuan how to play  basketball .

"I have been watching you and Reese since DK entered the finals. Every time you grow, it is beyond my expectations. I look forward to seeing how far you will go when you leave the NCAA."

In Melson's smile, a silent wave roared towards Nie Chuan like thousands of troops, unstoppable, breaking through all imagination, and rushing to the end of the boundless boundary behind Nie Chuan.

Nie Chuan said to himself: Is this fate? He went around in a big circle and suddenly returned to the starting point.

Another brand new era is brewing.
