"Hi, coach, this is my girlfriend Nie Yuyan." When Zhou Xuan took Nie Yuyan's hand to make an introduction, it was very natural, and he felt a little happy in his heart.

"Hello, nice to meet you." Nie Yuyan saluted.

"Welcome, welcome." Nelson Sr. greeted her granddaughter Emily with a smile on her face.

Zhou Xuan began to move ingredients out of the trunk of the car, and Old Nelson was stunned: "Why do you bring so many things?" ”

The Baile meal is similar to the AA system, and the old Nelson felt very embarrassed. Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Prepare dinner, don't worry, it's not very troublesome for us, my goal is for everyone to eat well." ”

For Americans, cooking can be a nuisance, and perhaps it would be better to describe it as an experiment. Scales, timers, thermometers, measuring cups, measuring spoons, all equipped in the kitchen. In cooking, Chinese look at the color and rely on the feeling; In the spirit of scientific research, Americans have quantified cooking and are happy to experiment in the kitchen. Everything has to be measured, and every meat has to be grilled according to the temperature, and there is a timer. In the U.S., heating up canned soup, microwaving pizza, and spreading mayonnaise on slices of bread is called rice, and they find it troublesome. For lunch and dinner, the most popular is sandwiches and soft drinks.

Seeing the speed of Zhou Xuan and Nie Yuyan's side dishes, Old Nelson and his granddaughter were surprised. Before cooking, prepare it first, and it will be more efficient when you do it. This is completely the practice in the restaurant, and Nie Yuyan also admires Zhou Xuan, although she has learned to cook, she has never worked in a restaurant. Zhou Xuan learned from Zhou Gaozhuo, is familiar with the chef's work process, and is very professional. He also remembered the workflow of Beicheng. Because it's a hobby, he never feels ashamed to cook for others.

The appointed time was 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the players arrived one after another, and Zhou Xuan also began to cook. Originally, he only wanted to do it himself, but Nie Yuyan insisted on helping, so he was more efficient, and the dishes were served quickly.

After a while, a big fat man entered the kitchen, it was Randolph, and when he saw Zhou Xuan, he smiled honestly: "It's amazing, it's really you cooking." ”

Zhou Xuan washed his hands, walked over and shook hands with him and said, "It's nice to meet you, Zack." ”

Randolph exclaimed: "Hello, they have all met with me, and said that you are preparing Chinese food for everyone inside, so I came to take a look, and I tasted it delicious, better than the Chinese restaurants in New York, and I could smell the fragrance from a long distance." ”

How does it feel like a foodie has been lured by the scent? Zhou Xuan introduced: "This is my girlfriend, Nie Yuyan. ”

"Hello, you're so beautiful." Randolph said in stiff Chinese, amusing both of them.

"Zach, do you speak Chinese?"

"Just a little, there are a lot of Chinese in New York, I won't bother you, let's talk about it later." Randolph said hello and left.

Zhou Xuan's first impression of Randolph was very good, not as terrible as rumored. He is not like a bastard or a drug dealer, but a big fat man with a very happy appearance, which makes people want to laugh when they see it. Even if he is lazy, he is just a person, how much storm can he set off? He was in New York for a year, and the Knicks tried to sell him out of the way and demonize him.

After finishing the last two dishes, Zhou Xuan and Nie Yuyan took off the chef's clothes of the old Nelson's family, changed into the clothes they had brought in and entered the hall.

Jackson took the lead and said: "Everyone be quiet, let's applaud Zhou Xuan and her girlfriend, who are also selfless in life, thank you." ”

Azubuk and Turyaf led the crackling applause, and the others followed suit.

"You're welcome, I've wanted to cook for everyone for a long time, and today I finally have the opportunity." Zhou Xuan smiled.

People live on food, even in the United States. Chinese like to talk about everything at the dinner table, which is a relatively easy place to make friends. How can Zhou Xuan not give full play to his strengths? It's easier to win the favor of your teammates.

I'll feed you well on the field, and I'll feed you off the field. He also learned these truths in the restaurant where Zhou Gaozhuo worked, where all kinds of people came and went, Zhou Xuan often ate there since he was a child, and some people's conversations would fall into his ears. Over time, he also comprehended something, and his emotional intelligence was not low.

Another new teammate, Swingman Madi? Collins also stepped forward to greet Zhou Xuan, a relatively shy and introverted person, and after saying a few words, he dodged away.

Nie Yuyan and Azubuuk's girlfriend Catherine talked, and Zhou Xuan and Randolph stepped aside and sat on the sofa chatting.

Randolph looked a little envious and said: "Zhou, you are a great person, although this is your first season and it has only just begun, but I can see that the coach and teammates trust you very much. ”

"Because I'm a nice guy and empathetic, Zach, you're not what I imagined." Zhou Xuan said in a voice that only two people could hear: "You know, whether it is in the Pioneers or New York, there is a lot of negative news about you, but I don't believe in the news, I only believe in my own eyes, you are by no means a bad person." ”

Zhou Xuan's opening remarks used psychology. Since ancient times, there have been many bad words, but who is not good at good words? People like Randolph are called "tumors" all day long, and the worst 20+10 players must have been scolded and tired a long time ago. When it comes to the Warriors, if Nelson Sr. uses his favorite whipping method to teach Randolph a lesson, and wants to educate him to be a star player who can attack and defend well, it will definitely not be possible. Zhou Xuan was also afraid that Randolph's arrival would affect the team's record, so he wanted to communicate with him more.

Randolph was stunned for a moment, and was a little moved in his heart, seeing Zhou Xuan more and more pleasing to the eye. "Xie Lu Xie, of course I'm not a bad person, I just did some wrong things, and I was always grabbed by others." (Neurotic only said that he was a bad person)

"I totally understand because I'm just like you. When I was in school in China, my teachers used to say that I was a bad student because I didn't get good grades. When I arrived in the United States, I was expelled from college after less than two months, and to this day people still think I was a thug who beat up the coach. So what? Sooner or later I will prove them wrong. Zhou Xuan smiled.

Finding common ground is also a good way to connect feelings, in fact, the two are different, Zhou Xuan can't smoke marijuana, bring guns, and drink and drive.

Randolph accepted his psychological hints in full, and immediately treated him as a passer, and said with a smile: "Man, I also believe that you are a good person." ”

"You want to prove yourself, right?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Of course, other people don't score much, and grabbing 10 rebounds is blown very badly, why am I 20+10 a cancer? Just say Carlos? Boozer, we play the same style, I admit that he doesn't defend well, but he doesn't defend very well, but he's been a two-time All-Star. It's not fair. Randolph exclaimed.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Actually, just because of one point, you and him will have different evaluations, and that is the battle record." When you were the core, the Trail Blazers were a fish-belly team, and when you got to the Knicks, the Knicks were at the bottom of the team, and of course people had to question it. But I think it's a configuration issue, your interior partner is Curry, can you still play this ball? Now you have a chance, we're the best in the league right now, and unless there's a massive injury, we're definitely in the playoffs. And you are the big killer of our low-post attack, as long as you achieve good results, who will say that you are a cancer? ”

"I know what you said, I still need your help on the field, as long as you feed me the ball, I will throw the ball in." Randolph's passion was easily ignited. He is a person who is not willing to be lonely, when he comes to a strong team, if the idea in his heart is to brush up on the data, I will leave, that kind of person can't be a professional player at all. Randolph also wants to play in the playoffs, and the starting point is to prove himself.

"Of course I'll pass you the ball, that's a must. But I can only play with you on the offensive end, but I can't help you on the defensive end. I guess the only thing the coaching staff is worried about your defense. Zhou Xuan said: "Our team's defense is not good, Stephen often defends the opponent's guard at the top of the arc, and asks me to defend the pitcher to make up for the vacancy that I can't defend against the dismantling." Now that you're here, you're just as unrecognized on the defensive end as I am. It's a hidden danger, and I'm sure those reporters are waiting to make a fuss about you on the defensive end. Do you have any ideas? ”

"I'll do my best to defend."

Randolph is known for being lazy, but he is not stupid, and a fool can't brush up star data. Under Zhou Xuan's guidance, he naturally said these words.

Zhou Xuan's subtext Randolph understood it, and invisibly put some pressure on him. Zhou Xuan has Jackson to help him on the outside, and no one in the news recently said that he is a defensive colander. Randolph is different, the opposing defender breaks in, and no one can help him, so he can only rely on himself. If the Warriors' record declines and the defense deteriorates, the media will definitely blame him, and there is even more reason to say that he is a tumor, and the word "super" may have to be added in front of the tumor.

"With your words, I will give you more passes to make more passes this season, and strive to make you an All-Star this season. Players with good stats on playoff teams, there's no reason why they shouldn't vote for you, right? And there are a lot of Chinese fans, and if we play well, we will praise each other a few words at the press conference, what do you think? Zhou Xuan made another very tempting suggestion.

As an avid data enthusiast, Randolph will of course aspire to be an All-Star, and Zhou Xuan said to his heart. He listened to the boiling blood of beasts, and he couldn't wait to play now, brush the Trail Blazers to death, and let the Pioneer management who said he was a cancer and sent him away to see.

"Man, I have to say that your suggestion is very much to my liking, and from today onwards, you will be my good buddy." Randolph patted Zhou Xuan on the shoulder and said.

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Ha, this is also what I want to say." Not only do we have to make the playoffs, but we also want to win the championship. Brother, we are very strong, we have you, we have me, we have Stephen and Corey (Margety), and there is Monta (Ellis) in the injury list, you all have the strength to average 20 points per game, even if you sacrifice for the team, 15 points per person is amazing, and I will definitely pass you the ball well, I will not let you down, is there anyone in the league who has more firepower than us? ”
