At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 244 Conflict in the locker room before the All-Star Game

"Strange, what are these people talking about? Why didn't they talk when I came over?"

"And why do these people's eyes look so weird?"

Kobe walked into the venue full of suspicion and found his own seat in the front row.

On the other side, "Big Shark" O'Neal, who was far away, cast a slightly teasing look at him.

"What are you looking at, this damn fat guy!" Kobe was unhappy and glared back viciously.

But what was rare was that O'Neal did not compete with him this time. Instead, he smiled, shook his head, and turned his face away.

That expression... seemed to be mocking him?

Or are you sympathizing with him?

This made Kobe a little angry. Although he couldn't compare to Du Zhe, he was not someone his old partner could look down on.

Although when the OK group was formed, he was indeed on the weaker side.

But Kobe feels that after accumulating honors over the years, he can already stabilize the big sharks that are wandering around.

"Uh... Kobe, you... you're here..." A league official who was familiar with Kobe came over to greet him, looking like he was hesitating to speak.

"Haha..." Kobe just smiled and responded to the other party.

For some reason, the other person's constipated expression made him very unhappy.

This is Staples. Even if he can't play due to injury, it's still his home court. Why can't he come?
Why are one or two of them so weird today?

Kobe is really confused.

…………

At the same time, in the locker room, members of the Western Conference All-Star Team were also preparing for the game.

Seeing Du Zhe walking in, the superstars who were still whispering dispersed in an instant and began to tidy up their jerseys as if nothing happened.

"Hi, Paul!" Du Zhe greeted Gasol enthusiastically when he saw Gasol sitting there.

But the other party turned his face away, as if he didn't want to see Du Zhe at all.

Du Zhe was completely confused when his hot face touched his cold ass.

"Is it because I abused the Lakers so much in the opening game that Gasol felt ashamed?" He began to think about the reason for the change in the opponent's attitude.

"This shouldn't be... After the game, I went to him specifically for this matter, and after that, my relationship with Gasol was quite normal..." Du Zhe thought about it secretly and felt that Gasol should Not so chicken-like.

So why is this?

"Hey, man, what's wrong with you?" Du Zhe thought something was a little strange, so he walked over and patted Gasol on the shoulder.

"Take your hands off!"

"Du, I thought you were a pure player despite your unruly behavior, but I didn't expect you to do such a disgraceful thing. I really misjudged you!"

"I don't want to see you again, get out of my sight!"

Gasol's reaction was greater than Du Zhe imagined.

The fierce argument attracted the attention of other players in the locker room. Everyone rushed over and separated the excited Gasol and the innocent-looking Du Zhe.

Before being pulled away by Curry and James, Du Zhe finally came to his senses. He quickly shouted: "Paul, you didn't believe the nonsense of that kind of third-rate tabloid, did you?"

"Third-rate tabloid? Just making it up? You're still talking harshly!" Gasol was furious when he heard this.

Today, he wants to seek justice for his friend Kobe Bryant.

Then he took out his mobile phone, opened a random website, and took a picture of Du Zhe's face.

"Do you think you're watertight? Look at the good things you've done!"

When Du Zhe took the phone, he felt something was wrong. He seemed to be unable to keep up with the current version.

Sure enough, Du Zhe felt like his head was spinning when he saw the news on the screen.

His meeting with Vanessa yesterday was really revealed by the all-pervasive media.

And in the way he least expected.

What Gasol showed him was a fairly mainstream sports website in the United States, and the weight of its reporting was quite authoritative in the sports world.

After reading it, Du Zhe had to admit that the report from such a website was still very "pertinent" and "true".

The news on the website only said three things, and each of them was absolutely true.

[-]. Vanessa met Du Zhe in private yesterday. Of course, according to the news, the two may be having a secret tryst.

However, the wording of the news was very cautious and did not confirm the matter. It just said that this possibility could not be ruled out.

[-]. Vanessa and Du Zhe had a great time chatting and even got drunk while eating.

[-]. Du Zhe sent Vanessa to his hotel room after she was drunk.

However, the report is a bit vague here, and it does not specify whether this room is the room where Du Zhe lives.

Of course, this is not important anymore. People who read this report will naturally make their own judgments.

It’s just that after reading this article, the judgments made by ordinary people are often guided by the media’s tendencies.

If he hadn't been the person involved, Du Zhe would have even begun to wonder if something really happened between him and Vanessa.

Ku and Zhan, who were standing behind Du Zhe, naturally saw the news and had different reactions.

James snorted in his heart. He didn't expect Du Zhe to fall into this kind of thing. Now his way to seize the throne will be smoother.

By the way, I secretly thanked Kobe in my heart. If he hadn't sacrificed his wife...

Curry was in disbelief: "Brother Zhe, why are you still this kind of person?"

Seeing Curry questioning, although James was feeling secretly happy, he was not far behind.

He stood up and said sanctimoniously: "Du Zhe! It's okay for you to do random things, but how could you do such a thing!"

"The atmosphere in our Warriors locker room has been ruined by you!"

"I'm going to report it to the management later and see how they deal with you, this scum!"

James was jumping up and down, looking like the boss of the Warriors.

When other superstars around him saw that the locker room was already noisy, they no longer hid and started talking.

It seems that many people also knew the news in advance.

It is common for NBA stars to have chaotic private lives, but the three people involved in this incident - Du Zhe, Vanessa and Kobe - are all top figures in the league.

Especially since Vanessa is a married woman, the attention and influence caused by this kind of topic is definitely not comparable to the several illegitimate children produced by other players.

Moreover, Du Zhe has been in the limelight recently, and many people who are unhappy with him are waiting in the dark for the opportunity to strike. They will never let go of such a good opportunity.

After the initial speechlessness and shock, Du Zhe quickly regained his composure. *Yes, there must be an insider among the waiters in that hotel who provided information to the media. A lawyer must write to them later.

This was the first judgment Du Zhe made.

Immediately afterwards, there was a moment of fear. Fortunately, he knew beforehand that this matter was not that simple, and had made a series of preparations, otherwise his skin would definitely peel off this time.

After briefly reviewing yesterday's experience in his mind, he began his own counterattack.

Looking at James who was still jumping up and down, Du Zhe interrupted the indignant opponent with an unusually rude attitude.

"LeBron, I said the candle you fucked was a candle? Did you have an operation on your head and move it to your butt?"

Du Zhe's words stunned James, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

Although he didn't quite understand what the first sentence meant, the latter sentence was a naked insult to him.

James was about to have an attack, but he remembered Du Zhe's incredible strength during the physical test, and he swallowed the fire back.

"You can't get angry, you can't get angry. The more reasonable I am now, the more it seems that Du Zhe is making trouble unreasonably." James, who was a little timid, felt much better when he thought about it.

Then he continued to speak righteously: "Du Zhe, it's not whoever has the loudest voice who has the right voice!"

Du Zhe sneered when he heard this. It was too obvious that James wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

It was Curry who reacted first.

"No, Brother Zhe practiced with us yesterday. He practiced until eight or nine in the evening. According to the time mentioned by the media, it doesn't match up at all."

Curry's question caused another round of discussion.

"Are you sure Du Zhe has been practicing with you guys since noon yesterday?" Gasol was doubtful. As a mutual friend of Kobe and Du Zhe, he really didn't want to believe this was true.

"That's right. After Brother Zhe called us to the hotel restaurant at noon, we went to the training hall to practice together. In addition to the three of us, there are also trainers from the gym who can testify."

"Brother Zhe made a phone call in the middle and was practicing the rest of the time." Curry now recalled more details.

Gasol's face softened slightly. According to the time of media reports, Du Zhe can indeed clear away most of the suspicion.

But he still wanted to hear Du Zhe admit it personally.

"Is that true, Du?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can ask LeBron." Du Zhe backhanded James.

James looked embarrassed, but he couldn't lie directly in front of so many people, so he could only hesitate: "No... yes, it does happen..."

Hearing James say this, the stars were in an uproar.

Astonished by Du Zhe's amazing concentration, he was able to resist eating the meat that was delivered to his door.

For most NBA players, it is indeed not easy to do this...

Moreover, Du Zhe and Kobe have always had a feud, which makes it even more exciting to think about it...

At the same time, everyone was disdainful of James' behavior of betraying his teammates, and they couldn't help but look at him with a bit more contempt.

Seeing that something was wrong, James suddenly took out his trump card.

"Du, do you dare to say who you called that phone call? I'm sorry you don't dare!"

There are even big melons!

Many superstars did not expect that they would be able to enjoy themselves by playing as an All-Star.

Several superstars standing at the door claimed to be holding an "internal team meeting" and directly blocked the various media who were preparing to interview, for fear of missing this big melon.

"Du, you'd better have a reasonable explanation for this..." Anthony from the Nuggets also stood up and "speak for justice."

He has a close friendship with James, and his social relationship is extremely complicated, so his words still carry a lot of weight in the eyes of ordinary people.

But Du Zhe didn't bother to talk to him at all, and just stared at James.

"There's nothing I can't say. That phone call I made was to Vanessa!"

As soon as these words came out, many superstars at the scene showed ambiguous smiles.

But Du Zhe's attitude was very calm: "Vanessa and I are just ordinary friends now, what can a phone call prove?"

"Paul, you haven't called Vanessa?"

Du Zhe's magnanimous attitude left Gasol speechless.

Indeed, as a good friend of Kobe, he and Vanessa also occasionally talked on the phone. For example, during the World Championships last year, Vanessa even called him privately.

Seeing that Gasol was wavering, James was unwilling to give up and continued to pursue him.

"Haha, even if this is the case, what does it prove? Who knows what you will do after you return from training. Besides, you didn't go back to the hotel with us at all. You don't have something on your mind!"

"You know how long one night lasts!"

"Curry and I were so tired after practicing all day that we fell asleep. I didn't expect you to still have the energy to do such a thing!"

As soon as James said this, it caused some discussion.

If, as reported by the media, all this happened when Vanessa was drunk, it could be explained by drunken sex, and Kobe might feel better.

But if it is true, as James said, that the two of them were sober, half-assed, half-advised, going along with the flow, and cooking the rice before it was raw...then the situation would be even more embarrassing...

However, there are also people who are envious of Du Zhe's strength.

Even James, who is known as the Iron Man, was exhausted, but he still had the physical strength to continue farming. This resource is really enviable.

Many superstars turned their attention to Du Zhe again, wanting to see his explanation.

Someone looked anxiously at the clock on the wall, hoping that the game would start later.

"Who said I went back to the hotel? I didn't go back to the hotel at all last night!"

"Oh? Then where have you been?" Durant on the side interjected curiously.

"I went to the nightclub!" Du Zhe said these five words with great confidence.

Feeling that the explanation was too simple, he then added: "I played there all night and came directly from there this morning."

"It's a pity that it's not fun enough!" Du Zhe smacked his lips with regret.

When James heard this, he snorted disdainfully: "Who doesn't know that you, Du Zhe, are the most serious about his career? He went to a nightclub before the All-Star Game and played all night. You are fooling the devil!"

James' words attracted the approval of many stars.

Indeed, Du Zhe's professional attitude in the past few seasons has been obvious to all. Although he is not a gentleman and occasionally lingers in such romantic places, he would never do such a ridiculous thing on the first night of the game.

"LeBron, when we talk, we have to talk about evidence..." Du Zhe said unhurriedly.

This time it was James' turn to panic, but now that the matter was over, he couldn't give in easily, so he could only continue to be tough.

"Ha, you said there is evidence if there is evidence, then take out the evidence and take a look!"
