In front of a Chinese restaurant in Eugene, a spacious and tall SUV slowly stopped.

The moment Da Yao got out of the car, Ye Qin rose up with the thought that everyone who saw Da Yao would have, high, really high.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to understand Da Yao's huge size and personal sense of oppression.

When I sat in the car, I just felt that the other party was very big, even if I said that the bears were not enough to describe, and when I got out of the car, it felt like a child meeting an adult.

When you see it on TV, the feeling of ordinary people will only be that the other party is much taller than ordinary people, but only when you really stand by each other's side, can you experience the feeling of facing giants.

Like Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu, their height is not low, but standing next to Da Yao, they can barely reach their shoulders.

After entering the restaurant, several people found a pre-booked seat and sat down. Ye Qin looked at the decoration in the restaurant, a little uncomfortable, too bells and whistles.

In order to highlight Chinese characteristics, Chinese restaurants in the United States often tend to be partial to the traditional style of China in decoration, and the red lantern at the door is almost a must, and then some tables and chairs, as well as partition window design, etc., will be biased towards the antique taste.

However, most of the Chinese restaurants in foreign countries give people the impression that they are too much, and the colors are too bright, as if they are a little superficial.

Sitting down in the position, Da Yao seemed to see Ye Qin's thoughts, and said in a somewhat urn-like voice, "Ye Qin, you should be here for the first time, the restaurants here are almost like this, the Chinese restaurant I chose is better, and the taste is more authentic, it was opened by a couple from Shenghai a few years ago, and we are eating this dish today, which is relatively authentic." I've already said hello here in advance, and there are no major problems with the diet. ”

Da Yao and Liu Yangyu are both from Shenghai, so it is needless to say that they choose this cuisine.

The athletes' diet still needs to be paid attention to, especially when eating out, Da Yao invited the two to eat before the game, and he had already done a lot of homework in advance.

After Chinese food arrives in the United States, it is inevitable that the localization will make the taste a little weird. There are very few restaurants that can keep the original flavor relatively well, and most of these restaurants will only pay attention to them if the Chinese people emphasize them.

"I haven't eaten Chinese food in a few days." Ye Qin nodded, "From going abroad in May to now, the last time I ate Chinese food was at Baylor University, Coach Li made a meal. ”

Ye Qin has eaten a few times in Shenghai, he is not special and tasteful, he is from the north of Haixi Province, and his taste is biased towards Jiangxi Province, and he eats more spicy. However, it is not easy to eat a good Chinese meal in a foreign country.

If nothing else, it's always good to have a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

"I'm okay." Liu Yangyu listened to Ye Qin a little bitter on the side, and couldn't help laughing, "Who told you not to return to China, I just came here for a few days, and I feel that the diet is still fine." ”

"Haha......" Da Yao smiled heartily, "If you stay in the United States for a few years, it will be painful, when I first came to the United States, do you know what I want to eat the most?" I especially want to eat soaking rice, but I want to train strength, gain muscle, and eat nutritious meals every day until I vomit. ”

Hearing the nutritious meal, the corners of Ye Qin's eyes couldn't help twitching slightly, remembering how he felt when he first ate Nie Fangping's nutritious meal in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, and nodded sympathetically.

Athletes are actually like this, although it is not necessary to completely avoid food, but at some special stages, the control of diet is very strict.

However, after some exchanges, Ye Qin found that Da Yao was easier to get along with than he imagined, with a straightforward personality, and occasionally made jokes, but before others reacted, he was already laughing happily.

From food and drink, to competitions, my dream when I was young was to have a good pair of shoes, etc., everyone talked very comfortably.

After getting the menu, several people walked around in their hands, and they didn't order too greasy or uncomfortable seafood, everyone is an athlete, and there is a tacit understanding at this point.

"By the way, tomorrow is the game, we won't drink, let's eat something and talk." After handing over the menu to the waiter, Da Yao looked at Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu and said with a smile.

In fact, everyone doesn't drink much, but Da Yao watched Liu Yangyu bring Ye Qin over, and still showed the demeanor of the eldest brother as a host, and said a word.

"Yes, there's a game tomorrow, so you can't drink it." Ye Qin was slightly relieved when he heard that he didn't drink, he hardly knew how to drink, and he rarely went out to eat with other people, this time he still followed Liu Yangyu and Da Yao, if the two really wanted to say something to drink, he really didn't know how to refuse.

Liu Yangyu looked at Ye Qin's expression from the side, but couldn't help but smile and said, "Even if there is no competition, you can't drink if you want to." ”

"Huh?" Ye Qin was a little puzzled.

Da Yao took over and said: "The United States is different from China, there are laws here. In China, many of our children can drink in public, but here, there is a law in the United States called the 'Uniform Drinking Age Act', about half of the states, all require 21 years old to drink, and in other states, it is about 18 years old, and Oregon is 21 years old. ”

Only after saying this did Ye Qin understand.

During the time he traveled from Osaka to the United States, he trained a lot and went out less, and probably because of Randy Hunter in the middle, he didn't feel particularly uncomfortable.

A few people chatted, and after a while, the ordered dishes had already been served, and they had already considered the next day's competition, so many dishes were concerned.

Some dishes that are not suitable for the order are not ordered, and most of the dishes that come up are rice and noodle foods such as xiao long bao, fried noodles, scallion oil noodles, jujube paste cakes, and steamed crucian carp.

"You're done tomorrow in Eugene, and there's another race in New York, right?" While eating, everyone chatted a few words in between.

"Well, June 14th, the Reebok Grand Prix."

"I won't be able to watch you guys in New York, and I'll be back home in a few days. Adjust and take a break, then start preparing for the Asian Championships. Actually, it's really good to see you guys like this. Da Yao looked at Liu Yangyu with a smile, and then turned to Ye Qin, "In the past, when you went to participate in the Grand Prix Golden League, you were all alone, but now you have company." ”

said, revealing his trademark smile again, "Next time you rush away, the media firepower will not stare at you, at least someone will share it together." ”

"Haha, that's true. After returning home from the Osaka Grand Prix, my master said that Ye Qin, this kid, had already stolen some of my limelight. Liu Yangyu happily picked up a glass of mineral water, "Ye Qin, come on, you said in the newspaper that you are worthy of the honor of the twin stars, I am waiting for you." ”

"I'll try!" A flame burned in Ye Qin's heart, he was the youngest among the several, but it was really not many years apart, but the two in front of him had reached the peak of their respective careers at this time.

Just before he came, Ye Qin also heard Chen Zhongzhou and Zhuang Wei muttering to him, Da Yao has performed very well this year, and when he played against the Suns in March this year, he got a single-game high of 22 rebounds.

Needless to say, Liu Yangyu is now the hottest in the country, and the media is even hyping him and Da Yao to compete for the first brother of Chinese sports.

Ye Qin knew very well that the gap between him and the two of them was like a moat, a difference between cloud and mud, and the two of them were now the objects that Ye Qin was chasing, but his heart was very hot.

One day, I will become a household name.

The world will know my name!
