1994: I Became a Literary Master in America

Chapter 34 Don't Leave After the Match

Julie's body stiffened.

However, she did not refuse; instead, her hands remained naturally on Xu Shengjie's neck as she passionately returned the kiss.

Applause and cheers rose and fell all around.

The kiss lasted a full ten seconds; if English hadn't reminded them, the deep kiss would have almost turned into a wet kiss.

After they parted, Xu Shengjie licked his lips, seemingly savoring the memory.

Julie smiled shyly and nudged him, but then couldn't help but laugh.

This scene was witnessed by everyone in the stadium, and they all smiled like doting aunts.

In their eyes, Xu Shengjie and Julie must be a couple.

Spike Lee gave Xu Shengjie a thumbs up.

……

The official timeout ended, and the players returned to the field.

As a starter, Vernon Maxwell should have been on the field as well.

But just now, Xu Shengjie had accused Houston's head coach, Rudy Tomjanovich... well, the man who said, "Never underestimate the heart of a champion." He could tell that Vernon was a little flustered.

Moreover, the external environment was indeed not very favorable, so it was decided to let him calm down and sit on the bench.

But Vernon clearly didn't appreciate it.

However, he dared not complain about Rudy; instead, he directed all his anger at Xu Shengjie in the audience.

In his view, things wouldn't have turned out this way if it weren't for that damn Asian guy's words.

Who knows what will happen after the game?

If those Jews want to get rid of him, his life is over.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the angrier I get, the more intense the fire in my heart becomes.

The anger turned into malice, and Vernon kept glancing at where Xu Shengjie and Julie were, his fists clenched tightly.

Vernon Maxwell was never an honest man.

Born in Florida in 1965, he was named Florida's Mr. Basketball during his high school years.

During his college years, he became the team's leading scorer with 2450 points. In the 1998 NBA draft, he was selected by the Denver Nuggets in the second round with the 47th overall pick, and later traded to the San Antonio Spurs. He joined the Houston Rockets in 1990, winning the league's three-point title twice, and even scoring 51 points in a single game in 91. He is now a very important figure on the Rockets' perimeter.

Previously, Jordan had dominated the NBA.

Now that guy has retired, the Rockets have a good chance of winning the championship.

But because of an Asian kid, he was benched?

Vernon was known as a villain.

Having suffered a setback, he wanted to retaliate.

Moreover, Xu Shengjie is a yellow-skinned man, and in Vernon's eyes, he's an easy target!

In the fourth quarter, it was clear that Hakeem Olajuwon was struggling to carry the team alone.

Seeing this, Rudy dared not keep Vernon on the bench any longer, so he waved his hand and had him replace player number 17, Mario Elie.

Vernon immediately tore off his shirt, high-fived Elie, and went onto the court.

As he passed the Knicks' bench, he suddenly shouted at Julie, "Hey girl, my kissing skills are much better than that yellow-skinned monkey over there. Want to try it with me?"

"Fuck you!"

Julie is never one to back down, and she gave Vernon the middle finger.

Xu Shengjie retorted, "You must kiss your mother a lot, otherwise how could you, an idiot, spew such filth?"

"Fuck you!"

Enraged by the insults, Vernon was about to charge into the audience.

Luckily, Da Meng was there. He grabbed him by the neck, his eyes blazing with anger. "You idiot, if you don't want to play, get off the court right now. This is the most important moment for me. Anyone who dares to ruin my chance to win the championship, I'll kill them."

Don't provoke the audience, you black devil, just play basketball!

Vernon was being held tightly by the big dream, and was about to be strangled to death.

He nodded quickly, indicating that he was awake!

The Houston Rockets are Hakeem Olajuwon's team. Don't be fooled by his mild-mannered nature; if you anger him, he can become a nightmare.

At that moment, the referee rushed over and gave Vernon a flagrant foul 1.

It was only because of Dream's influence; otherwise, Vernon's behavior just now would have been considered a deliberate provocation of the audience and he could have been ejected immediately.

The viewership ratings have been declining since Jordan retired.

Therefore, Stern is paying close attention to this series of matches and hopes to minimize off-field interference.

Julie wrapped her arms around Xu Shengjie's neck and pressed herself against him.

Don't let her age fool you; she's not even 19 yet, but her figure is already quite developed... It has to be admitted that Julie's figure is exactly Xu Shengjie's type.

He disliked the pale, thin, and frail type, and even more so, the skeletal frame.

Similarly, the exaggerated style of Mo Yan's famous works in the future is not his aesthetic.

He likes Julie, the kind of woman who is neither too fat nor too thin, with a shapely figure that is not exaggerated, exuding a natural and healthy beauty.

"Jeffrey, you were fucking cool when you were swearing just now."

"Haha, actually I can be even more handsome."

On the field, the game continued.

Vernon may not be the brightest, but he's definitely a good player.

His three-pointers, in particular, are quite threatening.

After all, he was a two-time three-point champion... After he came on, he did stop the Rockets' losing streak, hitting three three-pointers that directly challenged the Knicks. Head coach Riley had to call a timeout and devise a new strategy to target Vernon.

"Hey girl, this is what you call hard. Can that limp Asian guy next to you satisfy you?"

The brain circuits of Black people are quite unique.

How to put it? Once they gain power, they become arrogant and unruly.

He's now going up against Julie, so he's provoking her again.

"We can try it after the game, and you'll see what a tough guy is."

"The kind of tough guy who gets hard from your mom's kiss?"

Before Julie could even speak, Xu Shengjie immediately retorted, "Your mother said I was tough yesterday too! Bitch, just play your game. If we lose, I guarantee Hakeem Olajuwon will kill you. Riley, can't you fucking be a little tougher?"

Pat Riley turned and glanced at Xu Shengjie.

He then glanced at Vernon and cursed, "Idiot, the Rockets' bench is over there!"

The Knicks' thugs all stood up.

Only then did Da Meng notice that Vernon hadn't returned, and she couldn't help but roar, "Vernon, come back here!"

This idiot is provoking the fans again!

Hakeem Olajuwon is a little scared now. If he continues like this, will Stern take action against the Rockets and ruin his championship dream?

Vernon walked away grumbling.

Riley then yelled at Xu Shengjie, "Watch your game, you Asian kid. I'll show you what real toughness is."

Then, he began to devise tactics.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Jeffrey Xu!"

"You're very handsome..."

"I know, but I like women."

Spike Lee was taken aback, then immediately cursed, "Damn it, I like women too."

What I mean is, you have the looks to be an actor.

"I have no interest in acting; I'll become a great director. Spike, I'll surpass you, believe it?"

A burst of laughter erupted from the audience.

Spike Lee is not yet the renowned independent film director he will become in the future.

But he has been a veteran director for 15 years, since he debuted in 1980 with his first ten-minute short film, "The Answer".

Having received numerous nominations at the three major European film awards, the Academy Awards, and the Golden Globe Awards, he holds a significant position in the independent film scene.

Even Riley, who was busy planning tactics, overheard this and laughed, saying, "Spike, how does it feel to be rejected by an Asian kid?"

"Riley, devise your tactics."

Furthermore, I'm not some 'Asian kid,' I'm Chinese! Got it?

Riley scratched his chin, glanced at Xu Shengjie with interest, pointed at him, and then said nothing more.

"Kid, you want to be a director?"

"Just wait, by next year at the latest, I will definitely make a movie that will shock everyone."

Mr. Spike, remember my name: Jeffrey Xu, a Chinese American from Manhattan's Chinatown.

Spike Lee laughed heartily, pointed at Xu Shengjie and said, "Kid, I'll remember you, Jeffrey Xu, I'll be waiting."

This is America!

Humility, restraint, politeness...

That's all nonsense to a bandit and exile who ungratefully slaughtered the Native Americans who had once helped them.

They believe in the power of might.

Here, you can boast, you can be arrogant, but you can never be humble or weak.

In a country where stealing, lying, and fraud are taught as a subject, reasoning, presenting facts, being gentle and generous, and following the rules are all bullshit. This country has no morality or rules.

Yes, there is only power, deception, and self-interest.
