Chapter 50
"Hehe..." Hearing Yun Chen's prophecy, Ayton was stunned for a few seconds, and then he smiled slowly.

Immediately afterwards, he approached Yunchen and Lu Qingyan, put one hand on Yunchen's shoulder, and because his body was too tall, he bent slightly and brought it close to his ear.

"Li, you don't even get ten points, do you know why? Because today, I'm going to make you fall on the court! Just like the last time you fell on the Lakers home court!" His words were very soft, but this Once, he really poked Yun Chen's sore spot.

The collapse at the Lakers' home court last time had a relatively large impact on his public image, and some people still feel that his physique cannot keep up with the rhythm of the NBA.

When Ayton mentioned this matter at this time, Yun Chen's heart suddenly burst into anger.

"And..." But what Yunchen didn't expect was that Ayton hadn't finished speaking, and then he said something that made Yunchen explode.

"The oriental beauty next to you is nice, um...the taste should be good, how about I ask her for a phone number? Hehehe..." As before, his words were still very soft.

"..." Yunchen fell silent. After Ayton finished speaking, Yunchen stood there without speaking for a long time.

"Li...what's the matter with you?" Because Ayton's words were close to Yun Chen's ear, Lu Qingyan next to him didn't hear him. At this time, he looked at Yun Chen who was silent with wide eyes, not knowing what happened. .

"Slap!" At this moment, Yun Chen suddenly moved, and he slapped Ayton's hand off his shoulder with a backhand slap.

"You!" Ayton was angry and wanted to explode immediately, but he suppressed it because he was concerned about the staff next to him.

If a player is caught fighting outside the court, he is likely to be suspended by the league. Although Ayton is rampant, he still dare not challenge this rule.

"Looking for death..." But he was still unwilling to give in.

But before he finished speaking, Yun Chen took a step forward and forced him back.

"There is an old saying in China, I give it to you..." He was almost close to Ayton's face, and his expression was so serious that Ayton even felt a little scared.

"What... what?"

"If the sky wants to destroy it, it must first make it rampant!" Yun Chen said this sentence word by word.

Although it is difficult to achieve the desired effect when translating ancient Chinese words into English, Ayton still understands the general meaning.

"You!" So he rushed up in anger again.

"And..." Ke Yunchen interrupted him again.

"I take back the prophecy just now, because... I want to score 40 points on your head!"

……

On December 12, the Cleveland Cavaliers played against the visiting Phoenix Suns at home. Before the game started, it attracted a lot of attention.

Because first of all, this game is the first head-to-head confrontation between the two top five rookie players in this year's rookie class. The battle for the rookie king has always been everyone's favorite plot.

Secondly, because Ayton's wild remarks were exposed by the media two days ago, many people wanted to watch the excitement. They wanted to see whether Ayton was beaten in the face or Li Yunchen was suppressed by the champion.

An hour before the start of the game, Yunchen and his teammates had already prepared in the locker room. Their jerseys had already been changed, and they were just waiting for the warm-up.

At this time, Tai Lue was watching the players who were ready to go and nodded constantly.

Compared with the Cavaliers team in previous seasons, although their strength may be a little worse now, their energy and team coordination are much better.

This is exactly what Tyronn Lue wanted to see.

"Li, come here." At this time, Tai Lun called Yun Chen, and then walked outside the locker room. He probably wanted to tell him something private.

Yun Chen responded and followed outside.

"Li." Tyronn Lu looked at Yun Chen and smiled.

"What's the matter, head coach." Yun Chen smiled back. He should be the one with the best relationship with the head coach in the team.

"You play well in this game."

"Uh... Is there any game I didn't play well?" Yun Chen laughed, not understanding what Tyronn Lue meant.

"This game, if you play well, I will put you on the starting lineup at the start of the next game."

"Ah?" Yun Chen was stunned immediately, why did he suddenly put himself on the starting lineup?

"But JR's contract doesn't say..."

"It's okay, I've already told the general manager, and now for the team's better record, that little money is nothing." Tai Lun waved his hand, signaling Yun Chen not to care about this, and then said: "You just need to Just play your ball well."

"Ah... good, good!"

Half an hour before the game, the two teams walked out of the player channel and started the warm-up session.

During the warm-up, in the Suns team, a big black man stood in the middle distance and shot continuously, but it was strange that he made four or five shots in a row, but he didn't make a single one.

This person is Ayton, and now his expression is a little dignified, and even his whole body feels a little stiff.

Next to him, his teammate Brandon Knight couldn't help but walked over and patted him when he saw him, and asked, "DeAndre, what's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?"

Ayton was so slapped by him that he trembled all over, and the ball in his hand fell out of fright.

"Why...why are you so nervous?" Knight had a weird look on his face, this was the first time he had seen Ayton in this state.

"Nothing." Ayton pouted, said nothing, then picked up the ball and continued to shoot.

It seems to have improved a bit, and I voted for three more, all of which entered.

In fact, since meeting Li Yunchen just now, Ayton has been uncomfortable, not because of anything else, but because of the look in Yunchen's eyes when he said the last sentence.

He didn't know how to describe that frightening look in his eyes, but he had a premonition after that, as if he had offended someone who shouldn't be offended.

"Won't it really be what he predicted?"

There were some rumors among the players before, it is said that Li Yunchen sometimes made some very strange prophecies when facing each other in the game, and what is surprising is that he seems to be able to perfectly realize his prophecy every time.

This is just a rumor circulating among the players. Ayton certainly didn’t believe it when he heard it for the first time. He always believed that anything could happen in the fast-changing field. Maybe Li Yunchen just happened to be lucky.

But today... for no reason, he began to doubt his own judgment.

While Ayton was having deep self-doubt here, on the other side of the field, Li Yunchen was doing dribbling training at a leisurely pace.

He's finding his dribbling rhythm, and he's finding it pretty well, with Hill, a master dribbler, guiding him.

"Li, why do you want to practice dribbling? Don't you always catch and shoot?" Hill looked at Yunchen with a strange expression.

Yun Chen lowered his head and concentrated on dribbling the ball, constantly changing various postures, and just replied casually: "Because a big fool will come to guard me today."

"what?"

Half an hour passed quickly, and after a while, the warm-up time was over, both sides sent starters to stand in the middle circle of the field, and the game was about to begin!
