When Lu Fei dragged his tired body out of the gymnasium, it was already dark.

Nate Robinson patted him on the shoulder from behind, "Hey Lu, how about we go have a drink together?" ”

He liked this new teammate named Lu Fei so much, he was able to work seamlessly with him, Will Conroy, and Brandon Roy, and the reason why tonight's training was delayed to this time was completely to test the configuration of his teammates and Lu Fei.

When Nate Robinson plays point guard, Lu Fei can play point guard, and the two of you can break through and I can break through like a machine gun.

When Wilcon Roy played point guard, Lu Fei still played point guard, and at this time, Lu Fei's off-ball running was like a haunted night elf, as long as he received the ball, he looked up and was a cold arrow.

When neither of them is on the court, Lu Fei can still play the point guard position, lead the bench or work seamlessly with Brandon Roy.

Such a backcourt combination is simply amazing!

Of course, everyone's playing time may be reduced, but it is important to know that such a variety of combinations is equivalent to not giving the opponent the slightest respite in the whole game.

The opponent must always be on the lookout for the bombardment of the Huskies in the backcourt.

Lu Fei smiled and shook his head slightly: "Nate, you go with them, I won't go." ”

Ever since drinking Popovich's red wine, he is now simply afraid of wine.

"Okay, but you're welcome to the Huskies."

Nate Robinson raised his arm and opened his palm.

Lu Fei also raised his hand and shook it with him, and the two of them collided shoulders.

Behind him, Lorenzo Roma finally breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw the friendly and harmonious picture of the two of them.

The moonlight fell on the quiet campus, and the street lamps on the side of the road stretched Lu Fei's shadow for a long time.

The rain stopped, and the air was filled with the smell of earthy freshness.

He walked out of the school gates and walked down the quiet streets of Seattle, a city that didn't have the hustle and bustle of West Coast California and the heaviness of East Boston, with few cars on the roads and quiet and comfortable nights.

A shop in the alley not far away is still lit with a sign for Szechuan Express.

This is a Sichuan restaurant.

Lu Fei remembered that it was later renamed Tianxian Dumpling Restaurant.

He pushed open the door and walked in, the place was very small, only four or five tables, the decoration was very simple, there was a 21-inch color TV hanging on the wall, and next to the TV was a recipe, there were Sichuan fragrant back pot meat, mapo tofu and these stir-fried vegetables, as well as noodles and dumplings.

"Boss, a plate of dumplings, a mapo tofu."

Lu Fei sat down and ordered.

The boss is an old man in his sixties, surnamed Chen, Lu Fei used to like to call him Daddy Chen, and every year when he came to Seattle to play away games, he would come to Daddy Chen's dumpling restaurant to sit down.

There are only a few times a year when I have the opportunity to come to Seattle, and every time I come, I feel that I can eat a plate of hot petites here, and I am not too happy.

"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll go down for you." Father Chen had just finished collecting the table and was about to go back to the kitchen, when he heard Lu Fei's words, he looked back - it was a strange guest, speaking Chinese, and the age should be a college student studying nearby.

After a while, Daddy Chen brought out a plate of dumplings and a plate of mapo tofu from the back kitchen, the dumplings were steaming outside, and the red mapo tofu was sprinkled with green green onions, which made people look at the appetite.

"Please dine." Daddy Chen said. Then he took a bottle of chili oil from the table next to him: "I boiled chili oil myself, I don't know if you eat this habit of making dipping sauce." ”

"Habit." Lu Fei smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad." ”

"Thank you, where is your hometown, man?"

Father Chen sat at the table next to him, peeling garlic and chatting with Lu Fei.

"Jiangnan Pengcheng."

"Then the two of us are quite close, I'm from Lu Province, you just came to the United States?"

"yes, studying abroad at the University of Washington."

"That's a good school, young man, come to Dad's place to eat if you have nothing to do in the future, you just came to the United States, you must not be used to the food here."

"Okay."

Lu Fei snorted and ate dumplings, leek egg filling, a mouthful of dumplings and a mouthful of mapo tofu, feeling very fragrant.

Ate two bites,

He stopped suddenly, and then stared at the garlic in Daddy Chen's hand.

"Garlic?" Father Chen asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Lu Fei nodded.

"It's not cheap in the United States, I'll give you less." Daddy Chen handed over a few freshly peeled garlic.

Lu Feimei took it.

Eating dumplings without garlic will have half the fragrance.

Daddy Chen turned on the TV, which was playing local news in Seattle.

"This year's SuperSonics traded Gary Payton and Desmond Mason from the Milwaukee Bucks for younger All-Star three-point champion Ray Allen, and let's wish Ray Allen a perfect season at Key Arena."

Daddy Chen is a fan of the Hypersonics.

He frowned when he saw the news, and muttered in a low voice: "Gary Payton didn't play badly last season, although he lost to the Spurs, but he also entered the playoffs, can this newcomer Ray Allen do it?" ”

Lu Fei smiled.

He remembered the 2001 playoffs, after the Spurs won the SuperSonics, he came to Daddy Chen's dumpling restaurant and was almost blasted out by him with a broom.

He really wanted to tell Daddy Chen that this season when Ray Allen came, the SuperSonics didn't even touch the threshold of the playoffs.

And it wasn't until the 2004-2005 season that he finally made the playoffs, but unfortunately lost to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.

"Actually, Daddy, you can watch the Huskies play." Lu Fei said with a smile.

"Huskies?" Daddy Chen was stunned, and then remembered that it was the varsity team of the University of Washington: "Didn't this team only win ten games last year?" I didn't even go into the tournament, so there's nothing to see. ”

"It's a different year."

"Huh? Why is this year different? ”

Lu Fei stuffed the last dumpling into his mouth and said with a smile: "Because I am in the husky team this year......"

……

Lu Fei has been very busy these days, getting up in the morning to run, practicing in the stadium during the day, and going to Daddy Chen's dumpling restaurant to eat at night.

The NCAA qualifiers are about to start, and the school has given members of the varsity team the green light not to have to attend classes.

The NCAA generally starts in November every year, and the universities participating in the NCAA are almost all over the United States, and the participating teams are generally divided into leagues according to the region, and a league has a dozen or dozens of teams to play a regular game of home and away. There are currently 31 leagues recognized by the NCAA, and the first place in each league automatically qualifies for the NCAA round of 64.

The other 33 places are selected by experts based on their strength. The top 64 is then divided into the East Zone, the West Zone, the Central West Zone, and the Southeast Zone to play a single knockout match in a neutral city, and the knockout round in March will determine the winner or loser.

The winners of each district are the final four. The semi-finals and finals are usually played in one city, and the rules are still a single knockout match.

The round of 64 knockout rounds and the final 4 matches are basically played in March, so this month is called "March Madness".

There are 10 teams in the Big 10 Pacific League, where the University of Washington is located, and the strongest of them is now the University of Arizona Wildcats, who have won the division championship four years in a row.

The University of Washington has not reached the top 64 of the NCAA since 1999, when it was selected by experts to make the other 33 teams in the round of 64

This year, though, that's all about to change.

Lorenzo Roma looked at Lu Fei, who was practicing shooting unhurriedly on the court, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Because of the addition of this Chinese player named Lu Fei, all the team tactics he had conceived before were overturned, but it was precisely because of Lu Fei's addition that his tactical combination in the backfield became more aggressive.

For the first time, he knew that China also had such a good guard, and this year the NBA chose a Chinese champion named Yao Ming, and he remembered that there was a center named Wang Zhizhi before the Mavericks, so the players who played well in China in his mind were all big men. And Lu Fei is different, Lu Fei has excellent skills, accurate shooting, and excellent physical fitness, he feels that Lu Fei even has the strength to play in the NBA, the only flaw may be his height, and he is still a little short when he plays a point guard.

Despite being shorter, Nate Robinson knew that if he was the coach of an NBA team, he would never let Nate Robinson play shooting guard.

If Nate Robinson plays a shooting guard in the NBA, he will become a character who will be stabbed by 10,000 people.

The reason why he dared to arrange this in the NCAA game is that his team already has a good passer like Wilconroy, and second, even if Nate is targeted by the opponent, he still has Brandon Roy in his hand.

Of course, now he still has Lu Fei.
