"Brother, where are we going next?"

"Spokane, Washington, to visit the real generals."

"Oh, oh, it's Stockton! Does Juanjuan know that her brother is going to learn technology from Stockton? ”

"That's right, but we're going to get to Seattle first and then make a connection......"

On the 16th, after staying at home for half a month, he went to Chengdu to find Sun Ce, and on the 17th, after Sun Ce finished the sneaker endorsement at the left station, he stayed at home from the 18th to the 23rd for a few days, occasionally went out to shoot advertisements, and stayed at home most of the time.

On the 24th, Sun Ce and Zu Ge set off to Shanghai together, rested for the night, and took a plane to Seattle with Zu Ge on the evening of the 25th, and then transferred to Spokane, Washington.

I had already made an appointment to visit Stockton on the 28th.

……

After a long journey, at about 11 a.m. Western Time on July 27, Sun Ce and Zu Ge stayed in a hotel in Spokane City, and after a night's rest, the next morning, Sun Ce took Zu Ge to visit Stockton with gifts bought in China.

On the way to Stockton's house, Sun Ce and his chattering sister started a small talk mode.

"Brother, brother, who is more powerful, you or Stockton?"

"He's almost 50, so I'm definitely a little better."

"Juanjuan is asking him when he plays!"

"At my age, I'm definitely better."

"Then why did my brother go to him to learn?"

"If I don't study hard and improve, I won't be as good as him when I'm the same age in a few years."

"I see, by the way, brother, I heard that Stockton gave birth to 6 children, how many do you plan to have in the future?"

"Huh? You're turning the conversation too fast! ”

"Juanjuan wants to know, and my brother's baby, how tall is that! Tell Juanjuan! ”

"Well, I found someone to calculate a hexagram, Kobe Bryant is about to give birth to 5 daughters, and I have to have 6."

"Brother, why do you like to compare everything with Kobe?"

"He's the greatest player in the game, and of course I'm going to have to compete with him, three in a row, then two in a row, but Jordan and Russell, is there anyone else who can compare to him? Of course, you have to treat him as an opponent. ”

"Brother."

"Huh? Why don't you ask all of a sudden? ”

"What you said about having more daughters than who has daughters, does it have anything to do with how many championships Kobe Bryant won?"

"It's okay, but I'm not happy to see him give birth to a daughter so well!"

“……”

……

When it was close to noon, Sun Ce and Zu Ge took a taxi to the courtyard of Stockton's villa, and after ringing the doorbell, Sun Ce said into the radio: "Hello, I'm ......"

Sun Ce had not finished reporting his home, and a girl exclaimed: "Lord! Really a lord! Wait a minute, I'll open the door right away. ”

Saying that, the door opened, and before Sun Ce could take a few steps inside, a beautiful girl with a height of about 170 cm who looked like she should be a junior high school student at most rushed out......

"Even-bought karma! Even buy Karma! It's the lord himself! ”

Sun Ce looked at the little girl who looked like a fan, a little confused, except when he returned to China to participate in activities, he had never met such fanatical fans when he went out to eat bowl noodles, but now he actually met ...... Is this Stockton's daughter?

At this time, the ancestral goose next to him tightened Sun Ce's hand, feeling that the other party was not good.

"Hello, I'm Noah, it's nice to meet you, it's my sister, Lerina."

Laura Stockton, who finally recovered from her avid fan status, took two deep breaths and said, "Hello, I'm Laura, come on, my daddy is at home." ”

Laura said that regardless of Sun Ce's obstruction, she took away a large pile of gifts from Sun Ce's left hand, and excitedly took Sun Ce into the courtyard.

The yard is not big, and when you enter the gate, you see the door of the villa, and Stockton, who looks like a peasant uncle, is looking helplessly at his daughter, who is not reserved at all.

Stockton really feels so miserable, he is the NBA all-time assist king + steal king, why didn't his daughter find out how powerful her daddy is?

"Daddy, the lord has sent a lot of gifts." Laura ran up to Stockton with a pile of presents.

"......" Stockton was almost out of breath.

Didn't get a gift or what? That's a shame, isn't it? It seems that I have never seen the world or what?

But...... Stockton's more desperate thing is that he thinks back to his life, as if there are really no fans to give him any gifts, and when he was at his most glorious in the 90s, his off-court image was no different from that of an ordinary middle-aged uncle.

Ignoring this usually favorite daughter, Stockton symbolically greeted two steps, and Sun Ce happened to walk to the steps of the villa at this time.

When Sun Ce walked over, he was looking at several people at the door, and there was a girl who looked like she should be in her 20s, and her eyes were straight when she looked at him, which made Sun Ce feel hairy.

Sun Ce has investigated, one of Stockton's two daughters is 93 years old and the other is 97 years old, but he doesn't remember his appearance too clearly, that girl should be Stockton's eldest daughter Lindsay, who looks like she is in her 20s probably because American girls look more mature.

There are also two boys, Sun Ce remembers that one is named David and the other is Samuel, both of whom are quite handsome, more delicate than when Stockton was young.

However, Stockton's family is not tall, the boy who should be David Stockton is about the same height as his father, the other is not as tall as Laura, and the eldest daughter Lindsay will also be 1.7 meters.

Sun Ce walked up the steps: "Hello, John, I've kept you waiting, it's a pleasure to meet you for the first time, this is my sister Lerina." ”

"Hello." Zu Ge greeted politely.

Stockton stretched out his hand, Sun Ce and other seniors stretched out their hands, and after shaking it, Stockton said: "Noah, Lerina, hello, I'll go into the living room......

Stockton brought his four children and Sun Ce to the living room: "Please take a seat, Laura, Lindsay, you go make coffee...... You guys may be seated, can you have a hot coffee? I'm old, and I have to drink hot every time I drink. ”

Sun Ce sat down with Zu Ge and responded, "No problem, we also like to drink hot things." ”

Sun Ce felt a little strange, why did this old man feel a little unhappy with him?

But that's not right! Let's not say that the pre-requirements of "the blessing of the legendary point guard" have been completed, and Stockton is really upset with him, so why did Stockton agree to meet him?

That's when Stockton began to introduce his family: "This is my two sons, David and Samuel, and in the kitchen are my two daughters, Lindsay and Laura. ”

David hurriedly said at this time: "Hello lord, I'm David, can you take a picture with me later?" ”

Sun Ce responded enthusiastically: "Of course you can, it's nice to meet you......"

Seeing that one of his most talented sons in basketball was like this, Stockton felt even more sad...... Since the third son grew up, I haven't seen this son take a photo with him!

Stockton was relieved that the youngest son didn't play basketball, didn't rush up and stare at others like the two daughters, and didn't ask for a group photo like the third son.

But...... Sometimes it's afraid of something.

After David Stockton introduced himself, Samuel took out a poster of Sun Ce, which had been prepared a long time ago: "Lord, can you sign it for me?" If you can, please write some words of encouragement for me, I'm going to take them to school and hang them in the classroom! Oh, God! Those classmates don't know how much they envy me! ”

"Of course, no problem, do you want to take a group photo and stick it on the poster?" In order to curry favor with Stockton, Sun Ce met his children's requirements as much as possible, and it was not a big deal anyway.

"It would be nice if we could take a group photo......"

Seeing that the two sons couldn't wait to pull Sun Ce up to take a group photo, and looking at Sun Ce's sister with a confused look - didn't they say that they came to ask for advice? How does it feel like a fan meeting?

Stockton seemed to hear the sound of his own heart breaking.

Your dad and me, the NBA's all-time assist king! NBA all-time steal king! Played 19 seasons, including 17 seasons of full attendance, and the all-time leader in assists per game in a single season......

Hang your dad and my poster, isn't there more cards?

Looking at Sun Ce, who was pulled up by his own son and posed for various poses, and took a lot of photos, Stockton remembered this guy!

……

Lunch was made by a chef from a famous local restaurant specially invited by Stockton, and it tasted good.

The four children of the Stockton family are very enthusiastic, and after the two sons tossed Sun Ce for a wave, it was the turn of the two daughters, all kinds of group photos, all kinds of questions, Sun Ce was also very enthusiastic to respond one by one, and the requirements that could be met were met, so that Stockton was "satisfied" as much as possible.

But......

During lunch, Stockton kept a stinky face, which made Sun Ce really confused.

said that the other party didn't want to receive him, and went to ask the chef to make lunch, and the dishes were not cheap.

said that the other party wanted to receive him, and from the moment he entered the door, the other party looked like he wanted to drive people away.

But they didn't really drive him away......

Sun Ce couldn't figure it out.

However, Sun Ce learned a lot about Stockton from his four children at home.

For example, Stockton's wife, Nada Stockton, formerly known as Nada Stipovich, is the daughter of a former Alaska State Legislator and now works in the Washington state government, and her position is not low.

The key is that the two daughters are very good-looking, Stockton's wife should also be good-looking, Sun Ce feels that this old man is really a little capable, the daughter of a beauty + a politician, he was actually soaked!

Sure enough, it's the longevity that counts.

After lunch, Stockton asked the four children to take Sun Ce's sister around the neighborhood, broke up the group of unlucky children who broke his heart, and took Stockton back to the living room to talk about things.

"Let's talk about work." Stockton sat down and said straight to the point.

"Ah...... Good. Sun Ce thought that this time he was going to return in vain, but he didn't expect to get straight to the point.

"I've talked to Bill Duffy about treatment when I've met with you, and I've been in contact with your team's general manager, Chris Wallace, and I was going to join your trainer group after the playoffs and be your personal trainer, but the NBA is facing a shutdown, so I'm not joining your team for a while.

So for the rest of the time, until the NBA resumes operations, my salary will be paid by you, the weekly salary is 20,000 yuan, you can come to me to train, if you want me to go out, the accommodation and travel expenses will be borne by you, including the children who are going to go out with me.

If you can accept it, let Bill Duffy come to me for a contract and decide when to start working. Stockton said in one breath what he had thought of as a reasonable treatment.

didn't have to bargain, and gave the psychological floor price directly, and I really didn't want to say anything more to Sun Ce.

Stockton was so neat and tidy, Sun Ce responded in a daze: "OK." ”

After receiving Sun Ce's response, Stockton quickly left the living room and went back to his room as if fleeing.

Sun Ce, looking at the empty living room, listened to the screams of the frightened chicks outside the window because of a flock of crows......

"What the hell is going on? Does this old man want to teach me or doesn't he want to teach me? ”

……

Leaving the phone number of Stockton and his four children, Sun Ce took Zu Ge back to the hotel in a daze.

This inexplicably got the job of inviting Stockton to be a personal trainer, and Sun Ce is still confused.

Fortunately, there was an ancestral goose chattering next to him, and Sun Ce came back to his senses from his stunned state.

Listening to Zu Geese say that he would go to Charlotte tomorrow, Wang Keying's side would fly to Charlotte tomorrow and so on, Sun Ce didn't understand Stockton, so he didn't want to celebrate the wedding of his little brother.

Anyway, the matter has been settled, and after sending blessings to the little brother, I went to Los Angeles to find Kobe Bryant and called Stockton, who had not touched basketball for almost a month, and had almost rested, and had a slack period, and then began to prepare for next season.

……

On the evening of the 29th, Sun Ce, Zu Ge and Wang Keying came to Charlotte on the east coast and lived in a seaside villa under Curry's arrangement.

Curry also has a younger brother Seth and a younger sister Siddle, Sun Ce got to know each other, and on the 30th, he witnessed the wedding of Curry and Ayesha Alexander, and Ayesha's surname was changed to Curry.

There weren't many NBA players attending Curry's wedding, just some of the Warriors' players, and they weren't there, such as Leonard, who was just drafted, who was still training at a fan club in Oakland, and Jerry West went to help find the support of local billionaires before the shutdown.

Ellis actually came, which surprised Sun Ce, and there was another Sun Ce guess would probably come - LeBron James, this guy will never let go of this opportunity to have a good relationship with others.

Curry's wedding party lasted three days and ended on the evening of August 1.

On August 2nd, Curry went on his honeymoon for 3 weeks, and there was no way to train with Sun Ce for the time being.

Jordan, who was in Charlotte, was unable to attend Curry's wedding, and Sun Ce couldn't go to Jordan to train together, not to mention whether he could be invited successfully, Jordan had just been fined 1 million US dollars by the official, and he no longer dared to have any contact or communication with the players, even if it was an air-to-air exchange.

Sun Ce discussed with James, and on the 10th, he went to his vacation villa in Los Angeles to gather, and in the next few days, he went to prepare the training gym, nutritionist, masseur, etc., and the two of them went to find a partner to train together.

After discussing, Sun Ce took Zu Ge back to Memphis first, Wang Keying's TV series was about to start filming, and he was studying the script, so he came out to relax for a few days and went back to Los Angeles immediately.

After returning to Memphis, Sun Ce did a few days of recovery training, because he usually practiced the Nash training method every day, his physical condition was maintained very well, and he did not lose his physical feeling because he didn't touch the basketball much during this time, and quickly completed the recovery training.

On the 9th, Sun Ce came to Los Angeles with Zu Geese and Jimmy Butler.

When you go out to practice, you have to bring Jimmy Butler with you, a teammate who trains at his home training gym.

Stockton also informed that Bill Duffy had already gone over to sign the contract, and after Sun Ce informed Stockton, Bill Duffy helped Stockton book a hotel in Los Angeles and buy a ticket for the Stockton family.

When he arrived in Los Angeles, Sun Ce also returned to his hometown in California in the offseason, and Paul George called him.

"Lord, are you really going to train with Kobe?" When Paul George arrived at James' house, the first thing he said when he saw Sun Ce was this.

"Right? Any questions? ”

"Will he say yes? I've heard he's hard to get along with. ”

"Gotta give it a try...... He still owes me a favor, and he has to pay it back......"

Sun Ce didn't know if he could hook up Kobe Bryant, this guy ...... It's hard to do!
