Nine turns of the large intestine, fried and crispy, boiled pork slices, seafood gnocchi soup. Three dishes and one soup were quickly served, and Zhou Xuan also steamed a pot of rice.

Americans don't like to eat rice, and the staple food is mainly pasta, Mitchell. Butler is a special case, he can also use chopsticks, and he is a very professional foodie. After a few bites, he stopped, his expression of disbelief.

Zhou Xuan smiled and asked, "How is it?" Not to your liking? ”

"No...... You actually make better than the famous 'North City' Chinese food on Seventh Street? Have you ever been a chef before? Mitchell asked, looking at him excitedly.

"My dad is a chef and I learned to cook from him when I was a kid. The cafeteria is attractive in terms of volume, and the taste is certainly very average. If you want to eat real food, you can't go to the cafeteria. Zhou Xuan smiled, and was ready to start with chopsticks.

"I know the way, but the buffet is more convenient, and the taste of the restaurant opened by the locals is not as good as the buffet in China, so you can try it." Mitchell sighed.

Zhou Xuan has tasted it, and he knows that the cooking level of Americans is indeed flattering. Take KFC as an example, the same restaurant, the same set meal, the American fried chicken does not taste as good as the Chinese. Things in the restaurant are still very expensive, and you have to pay a tip of about 10%. It's much more free to go to the cafeteria and you don't have to tip.

The meal was particularly pleasant, and the friendship between the two was enhanced all of a sudden. Mitchell felt that Zhou Xuan's strength could already be a chef, and his father's level must be higher.

"Do you know the way? I'm more convinced now that you have the talent to be a point guard star. ”

"It can't be because I know how to cook, right?"

Mitchell picked his teeth and said, "The point guard is like a chef, the team is a big kitchen, the teammates are those ingredients, and the point guard plays like cooking." If a single ingredient, no matter how precious, is difficult to make delicious, you must add a variety of seasonings, and match with other ingredients, there are 'star' meat, there are also onion, ginger and garlic such 'blue collar', the point guard strings these things together, master the heat, in order to make the best delicious. ”

What is this theory? What is basketball in the eyes of foodies? But Zhou Xuan thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make some sense. Does basketball still have cooking skills in common?

"I'm going to scrub the dishes." Mitchell stood up and smiled, "I have a request. ”

"Cook a lot in the future, don't you?"

"Yes, you agreed?"

"Of course, I'm so poor now, I can't live in vain. I'm interested in cooking, so get ready for different Chinese dishes. Zhou Xuan said with a smile. Mitchell is a friend and an agent, and he has to be on good terms. After coming back from practice, cooking can also relax your mood.

Two days later, the defenders played another game. Lost 99-108 away to the O'Grande Vipers and failed to make a winning streak. Zhou Xuan played 38 minutes and scored 12 points, 15 assists and 2 steals. didn't score much, but maintained an average of 15+ assists per game. This has never been done since the establishment of the Development Alliance.

In the next game, the defenders will host the Tusa 66ers. The team is strong and currently ranks second in the league, and the star of the team is the Bucks' second-round rookie Ramon. Sessions, and last year's 2nd round pick with the 9th pick rookie forward David. Noel.

Knoll made a total of 68 appearances for the Bucks last season, averaging two per game. 7 points and 1. 8 rebounds. He was born in North Carolina, but in addition to his amazing physical fitness, he has struggled to improve his skills in a year. In the Development League, he is an absolute star, averaging 20 points per game. 8 points, 6 rebounds and 3. 9 assists and 1. 5 steals, and often can play wonderful dunks, the most popular in the team.

Sessions was only drafted by the Bucks in the second round of 56 and didn't get much playing time in his four Summer League games in Las Vegas, averaging five per game. 8 points and 2. 5 assists. However, he did not give up on himself, and after being delegated, he led the 66ers all the way, and his continued explosive performance earned him two awards for the Development League Player of the Week.

A lot of people say Sessions is the No. 1 defender in the Development League, and now he has a rival. Although Zhou Xuan scored a little less, he had more assists. Sessions has previously attracted attention because of Yi Jianlian's teammate. Now the two teams are competing against each other, and the Chinese media said before the game that this is Zhou Xuan's best chance to prove himself.

If Zhou Xuan can't beat Sessions, then his prospects for participating in the draft in the future will not be too good. His participation in the draft is more like pointing out a new path for many high school players who don't want to go to college. After graduation, I joined the Development League directly, made money while practicing at the same time, and then participated in the draft when I was eligible for the draft. The Basketball Association has also acquiesced to this model.

It could well be the last NBDL game Sessions played in, with the Bucks starting point guard Mo. Williams sprained his ankle in yesterday's game and will miss at least two weeks. Sessions will certainly be recalled to the Bucks. The current situation of the Bucks is not optimistic, and the record is outside the Eastern Conference playoffs. Yi Jianlian was also injured, except for the 29+10 data against the Bobcats in December, he performed poorly the rest of the time. Experts say he doesn't know where to go when defending, and he can't let go on the offensive end. Many rookies hit the rookie wall within a week or two, and then slowly adjusted, Yi Jianlian hit the wall and then hit the wall......

"Sessions can get luxury stats in a second-round pick, but his stats are mediocre in the NCAA. The defense of the Development League is really too weak. I played well, not because I was super strong, so I can't be too optimistic. Zhou Xuan sat in the locker room, thinking about how to improve the winning rate. Played four games, two wins and two losses are too bad. If it weren't for the age restrictions, he would definitely join the Clippers without a draft, as long as the Clippers don't bring in star guards this summer, he can easily get ahead, and after Brand returns from injury, he can still make a playoff impact.

"Zhou, what are you thinking?" Kruger asked.

"If you think about it for a while, Sessions must be a tough guy to deal with." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

"I don't think he's as good as you, you have more assists, you score less, but you also have a high shooting percentage." Kruger flattered.

When he was about to play, Leonard said to everyone: "A lot of people say that the 66ers are the favorites to win the championship this year, and we are outside the playoffs, today everyone has to play this game as a final, try to beat them to prove themselves, although we can't make the playoffs, but there are a lot of things to mess with." ”

"Good!" Zhou Xuan immediately raised his hand in response, and the others looked at him like a fool, and no one said anything. Kruger's eyelid lift was a response, and most people didn't even lift their eyelids.

Leonard sighed in his heart, it is really difficult to boost morale in the development alliance. If you can't get rid of these people, the Lakers won't be happy about it. His job is actually awkward, and if he had a choice, he would rather go to college to be a coach, and the NCAA is the purer form of basketball.

After the appearance, Zhou Xuan quickly found his opponent, he used the computer to see the photo of Sessions, remembered his appearance, and took the initiative to come forward to say hello.

"Hi Ramon, hello."

"Hello, Zhou. I've heard about you, you've been playing great lately. Sessions smiled and shook his hand. Is there something wrong with me? ”

"I hope you can give it your all to play me today, and I want to hear what you think about the NBA, the Bucks and the development league are very different, right? I want to participate in the draft this year, but I don't know if I can do it. Zhou Xuan asked.

"I can't say this, I won't know until after your draft." Sessions sighed softly. "I was confident that I could play in the NBA, but I was sent here after falling to the bottom of the draft, no matter what, let's work hard."

If he said it, he didn't say it, Zhou Xuan smiled slightly, and didn't ask anymore. He looked at his opponents and came to several conclusions: Sessions has a lot of confidence, and his shortcomings are probably defensive. AT 191CM, SESSIONS LOOKS THINNER THAN HIM, AND HIS ABILITY TO FIGHT IS CERTAINLY NOT STRONG. However, he has no ability to bully any opponent by strength, and can only rely on skills to decide the winner.

What Zhou Xuan didn't know was that Sessions was a little envious of him, and he still had a little hostility in his heart, and he had long been ready to go all out to fight him.

Sessions knows exactly what Yi is getting with the Bucks.

As soon as Yi Jianlian arrived in the Bucks, he set off a whirlwind in the NBA, with giant billboards, welcome parties attended by senior officials, hiring assistant coaches, "Yi Jianlian Day", the love of Bucks fans, and personal doctors...... This high-profile treatment makes Yi Jianlian look less like a rookie and more like a superstar and socialite. Somewhat contradictory to the high-standard treatment is Yi Jianlian's rookie status, although the media, fans and even the team's senior management have praised him to a considerable height, in the eyes of his teammates, he is still just an out-and-out rookie.

Although the coach denied promising Yi Jianlian's playing time, he often let him play as a substitute in garbage time in the fourth quarter, which is also eye-catching. Sessions thinks that if he were Chinese, he would not have been selected in the second round, and maybe he would have started now. He didn't dare to say that he was stronger than Mo. Williams, but better than the other point guards on the team.

In the Development League, Sessions is very serious, he wants to prove himself, and desire can make people improve.

Zhou Xuan also checked Sessions' information for this game, and he knew that Sessions was not good at outside shooting, and his three-point shooting rate was very low, mainly relying on breakthrough shots and mid-range shots. Knowing this, he will make targeted defenses, and he will treat his opponent as an alchemy stone. Maybe the defenders won't win against the 66ers, but he's going to win against Sessions.

The starters stood in the center circle. The defenders changed lineups, Aki, who shot three-pointers, sat back on the bench, and Sambo came on to defend solidly. The other three are Taylor, Darius, Payne.

The race is on.

HENRY, THE 66ERS' 213CM TALL CENTER, JUMPED THE BALL AND GAVE THE BALL TO SESSIONS, AND EVERYONE PULLED AWAY AFTER HALFTIME.

Zhou Xuan stared at Sessions tightly, engrossed in not wanting to miss any of the other party's movements. He thinks he has two advantages: one is his judgment, which can think of many things and make decisions in a very short time; The second is the speed of reaction, and he suspects that no one in the NBA will react faster than himself. He has to play to those two things.

Sessions took the ball and glanced to the right, and suddenly turned to the left.
