Colombia, Medellín
Cicadas were chirping outside the window, and the gentle evening breeze was passing by. Only late at night would the sultry heat that enveloped the entire SH city dissipate for a very short time.
Liam stared at the MacBook screen in front of him.
The screen was crammed with data, tables, and words in English, which were difficult to understand.
After reading it, he carefully reviewed it several times before saving it, backing up the file, and stretching out.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was already half past twelve in the morning.
Outside the window, the residential buildings across the street were dark, and only a few houses had lights on.
Putting down his phone, Liam rubbed his tired eyes and got up to wash.
He works for an emerging private equity fund in Shanghai as an investment analyst, and it is common for him to work late into the night every day.
The document now is the company's detailed research report on a foreign investment project. It is to be reviewed by him and submitted to the department manager for review tomorrow.
After washing up, Liam returned to the narrow bedroom.
This house is a typical ramshackle old house. It was built with funds raised by a Medellín public department in the 1990s. It is only 60 square meters, but the rent is 1,000,000 pesos a month.
The bed was very messy, and the clothes were scattered everywhere. He picked them up one by one without stacking them and just stuffed them in the closet next to him.
It wasn't until he picked up a blue and white t-shirt that he carefully smoothed out the wrinkles in the shirt and hung it on a rack.
This is a classic Warriors t-shirt with the San Francisco Bay Bridge on the front and "30" and "CURRY" printed on the back. (I wish I had one).
Liam bought this shirt five years ago. In his closet, there are 5 different styles of Stephen Curry t-shirts. This one is his favorite.
Liam is a Warriors fan and his greatest pleasure is watching the NBA.
Although his job prevents him from watching the live broadcast every day, every weekend he will spend a day enjoying Curry's three-point performance.
After cleaning up, Liam lay in bed, but he wasn't sleepy at all.
His extra long life has made his biological clock very different from that of ordinary people and he has developed a habit of staying up late.
Picking up the phone, Liam began his nightlife.
Opening Twitter, Liam was a little surprised by the most popular post: "[Olympic news] By hitting back-to-back threes at critical moments, the U.S. beat France and Curry won his first gold medal."
Suddenly, he saw a post that had just been published, titled "Rational Discussion: Is Curry Really a Superstar?"
Liam paused for a moment before clicking.
"Curry has won 4 championships and only 1 an FMVP. He hasn't made the playoffs for two straight years without Klay. He's only had 4 first team All-NBA appearances and 7 All-Star appearances. None of them are as good as Clipper, the second all-time second teamer. That's it?"
Liam looked at the poster ID: "Clipper," and the profile picture was a picture of James Harden.
By the time he read the posting, there was already an answer below:
"Curry was the leading scorer, first team scorer, and top three MVP last season, is it his fault he didn't make the playoffs?"
"Haha, just a rub. Harden has led the Rockets to the playoffs every year, and even with the rub, he only has 32 points. If he has the ability to go over, he can score 36 points after getting caught."
Liam quickly logged back in.
Liam looked at the post, smiled slightly, and began to write: "What kind of champion is Harden?" "The next year definitely will win the championship, and Harden will be the Finals MVP by then," the netizen replied.
"What kind of champion is Harden?"
"Curry is a system player. If Harden had teammates like him, he would have won the championship a long time ago." The netizen declined to answer.
"What kind of FMVP is Harden?"
After Liam sent the message, he waited for a long time but did not see a response from the netizen.
Instead, a passerby entered the post and commented below: "Haha, what the original poster said, I thought Harden had already won several championships!"
"They talk boldly in the offseason, they talk crazy in the regular season, and they're silent in the playoffs - they're just some Harden fans!"
"The season just ended, some people started over and everyone got off."
Liam shook his head, laughed, and left the post.
He doesn't hate Harden, but a small number of extreme Harden fans are really annoying.
Not only Harden fans, but any star's fan base has a small number of keyboard warriors.
They are interested in infinitely elevating the historical status of their favorite stars and belittling other stars for fun.
There are even some people who pose as fans of other stars, provoke fights, sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight, and almost have fun.
Liam knew from the beginning that this was a stupid hacker's post, but it still clicked.
He didn't get a single vote in the FMVP selection in 2015, he finished second overall with 73 wins in 2016, his dream of three consecutive championships in 2019 was shattered, and he missed qualifying for the playoffs in 2021...
Every time Curry is one step away from conquering it all, God will bring disaster to stop his most devout believers. When failure is too close to success, it will become the deepest scar.
Last season especially, Curry dispelled doubts with an unbeatable performance that topped 16, but the Warriors fell on their face in the playoffs.
Given that the team has historic superstars, Warriors management would rather coach a rookie who has never played in the NCAA than believe Curry can return to his best.
There are plenty of big men who fly and run every year, but it took Curry over seventy years to show up!
To take advantage of the rare window to win the championship, Cavaliers management traded the
#1 pick for Love to form the Big Three, while Warriors management allowed the second-best point guard in history to accompany the #2 pick at his peak period.
Fortunately, Wiggins has also joined the Warriors and both have bright futures.
Maybe the success will actually make people relax.
It's just that Curry is already 36 years old and Liam doesn't know how many more years he can reach his peak.
After he retires, where will the Warriors go?
Will Wiseman be able to win an MVP award throughout his career? Or will he be able to be a Warrior forever?
"Damn it!", Liam turned around, "Curry's wasted peak years by Cole and the management. If I were the head coach of the Warriors, I would definitely make the Warriors win eight consecutive championships, and Curry would surpass Jordan!"
He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep with reluctance and regret.
This is a story about the Warriors, but it is also a story about basketball. The author does not criticize any star (it doesn't count as criticism if he treats all players equally), feel free to collect it.
Note: The story is from 2020 so it has some changes curry FMVP, medal etc if you find any fault tell me, besides this this novel as you see I changed the name and nationality, as such is more complicated translate it I hope you support it.
