Chapter 566 - 566 204 Great Plot Fate's Masterpiece Request for Monthly Votes!

566: 204: Great Plot, Fate’s Masterpiece (Request for Monthly Votes!) 566: 204: Great Plot, Fate’s Masterpiece (Request for Monthly Votes!) Roger became the hero of the entire Atlanta.

As the Warriors lost the series, and Reggie Miller declared himself the NBA’s San Diego preacher, Roger shut him up completely.

Now, no one in Atlanta has more influence than Roger.

On the streets, more and more people wore the Hawks’ number 14 jerseys.

The focus of conversation shifted from the Warriors or the Falcons to the Hawks.

Even an event such as Ben Wallace changing to an explosive hairstyle could make the newspapers.

Keep in mind, Big Ben was just a backup center for the Hawks who averaged around twenty minutes per game.

This alone spoke volumes about the current attention the Hawks received.

Since Roger’s arrival in Atlanta, the Hawks went from being a team less popular than Atlanta United FC to becoming the marquee of Georgia.

Previously, the team’s following might have only been the few hundred thousand people in the city.

But now, millions in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area had become fans of the Hawks.

The team’s financial statements made it clear, as this season’s merchandise sales income increased by 310% over the same period last year.

And that number was still rising.

At first, everyone thought that Roger would need at least a championship for the Hawks to regain their foothold in Atlanta.

Instead, Roger did it in just 11 games.

Even more unexpectedly, it took Roger only 11 games to change Scottie Pippen’s attitude towards him.

At the training session the day after the game against the Pacers, when Pippen invited Roger over for dinner, Roger almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.

“Ah?”

Is there anything more absurd than Pippen inviting him over for dinner?

Probably only the “Mini 4WD Brothers” manga, with its later episodes featuring mold sending planes and tanks to capture the cars just to get the chip, could top this.

“Roger, why are you so surprised?

We’ve been teammates since 1993, and that makes it four years.

We’re old friends.

Is there a problem with an old friend inviting you over for dinner?”

Roger understood every single word Pippen said in English, but when strung together, he didn’t comprehend.

Yes, in 1993, Roger did something very intimate with Pippen in the locker room—he beat him up.

Though they had known each other for a long time, they were never friends.

They were more like enemies.

When Roger advised Pippen to get ankle surgery this summer, his attitude was still very tough.

And now, he’s suddenly inviting him over for dinner?

“Are you going to poison my dinner?” Roger didn’t doubt for a second that Pippen would do something like that.

“God, I’m not from Salt Lake City!” Pippen joked, referring to the incident where Jazz fans poisoned Roger’s late-night snack during last season’s finals.

“Thank you for the invitation, Scott, but I have plans tonight.”

“I thought you’d come up with a better excuse.”

“No, it’s true.

CNN sports reporter Sofia Vergara has some basketball-related questions she wants to ask me, she asked me out to dinner.

Besides, it’s been scheduled for a while.”

“That’s easy, just bring her over to my place.

You tell her that I’m open to an interview.

Roger, this is the first time I’m inviting you, please don’t refuse me.”

Roger looked at Pippen’s earnest expression, and finally nodded his head.

He was really curious about what was wrong with Pippen.

In the afternoon, Roger took Vergara with him to Pippen’s place.

Vergara was very excited; she did not expect to actually break into the athletes’ circle, which was undeniably a huge breakthrough for her job.

“You mean, I can ask any questions?”

“Yes, Scott agreed to let you interview him.”

“Scott?

No, can I interview Larsa?”

“Why Larsa?”

“I want to ask her…” Vergara began to smirk maliciously.

“My God, no, you cannot!

I’ll say it again, I did not do it!”

“Roger, my brother, you finally came.

Ah, Sofia, welcome.” Pippen opened his arms and came up to embrace Roger, “What were you just discussing, what ‘not done’?”

“We were talking about whether Roger ever took on door-to-door plumbing jobs during his community service.” Vergara spoke boldly like a man driving aggressively.

“He definitely did, who doesn’t know Roger is a good man devoted to charity and community service?” Pippen nodded affirmatively.

Hearing Pippen say that, Vergara laughed even more merrily.

Roger silently looked at Vergara, who mischievously blinked her eyes.

By the time they reached Pippen’s house, dinner was ready.

Roger intentionally kept his distance from Larsa.

To be honest, who doesn’t have a bit of Cao Cao’s tastes?

But messing with a teammate’s woman is really low class.

Pippen sat down, and his kids gathered around.

Pippen inherited the biological traits of a black man; that is, being prolific and having children with different women.

So far, the unmarried and never-wedded Pippen had a total of four children with three different women, one of whom had sadly died a few days after birth, so now Pippen had one son and two daughters under his wing.

Although these children were not born to Larsa, she took great care of them.

She patiently fed them, played with them, and her maternal radiance shone brightly.

Pippen glanced at Larsa, his face beaming with a happy smile: “This is why I love her.

She treats my children just like her own.

Larsa is very kind, and she has always been good to the kids.

Michael’s son Marcus also really likes her.”
