Stephen Curry, born in 1988, is a professional basketball player who plays point guard.

In the 2009 draft, the Golden State Warriors selected Curry with the seventh pick in the first round, starting Curry's career in the NBA. In his rookie season, Curry performed brilliantly, being selected to the All-Rookie First Team by unanimous vote and successfully establishing himself in the league.

Last year, as a sophomore, Curry gradually became an indispensable member of the Golden State Warriors' team with his consistent performance, starting 74 games before and after, and truly occupying a place in the professional league.

There's no doubt that Curry is emerging as a rising star in the NBA.

Like Lu Ke, Curry is also a signed player under Under Armour, and it can be seen that Under Armour is developing the market for young players step by step. However, Curry is a basketball player and Lu Ke is a football player, and there is no intersection between the two.

Could it be that this is an official Under Armour-arranged visit?

The tired footsteps paused for a moment, Lu Ke didn't stay too long, walked straight to the bench in the rest area, sat down slowly, slowly, and took the initiative to say hello, "Is it your order next?" It's up to you to take this torture? Does this mean that I can rest longer? ”

The headless words came out in a playful tone, breaking the silence in the rest area, and Curry reflexively cast his gaze, blinking, his head full of question marks, and his first reaction was, "Are you talking to me?" ”

Looking at Curry's bewildered expression, Lu Ke smiled dumbly, "In high school before, I saw those white kids talking like this, showing off their humor, and then they could quickly make new friends, I always wanted to try it." Now it seems that I should have used it incorrectly, is there no user manual to read and learn? ”

Such self-amusing cold humor is indeed the way local young people talk, Lu Ke's speech is really too fluent and natural, so that Curry has an illusion, as if he is an immigrant, and Lu Ke is a native-born local, and the positions of the two people are reversed in this way, which makes Curry laugh.

"Strictly speaking, I'm the same as you. If you know where to find such a manual, it's best to let me know in advance, I should also need to read it. After coming to his senses, Curry also laughed and coaxed.

As a black man, if you go back to the roots, he, like Lu Ke, is an immigrant. Of course, taking it a step further, the Indians are the natives, and the rest are immigrants, and the United States is a country built on immigrants.

"Lu Ke." A small joke broke the barriers between strangers and established a connection, and Lu Ke introduced himself.

"I know you. I mean, this week's game against the Detroit Lions, I watched, you're an incredible player. Curry smiled shyly, still childish, "Stephen, I'm Stephen Curry." ”

"Sorry, Stephen, I haven't watched your game because I'm a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers." Lu Ke's answer made Curry stunned, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, and then he saw a thick smile in Lu Ke's eyes, and Curry immediately understood that he was shabu again.

After the prank succeeded, Lu Ke added, "Last year's skill challenge, I won beautifully. ”

In the 2010-2011 season, Stephen Curry successfully won the All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge, which is also one of the side portrayals of his extremely solid basic skills.

"Hah! Ha! Curry laughed exaggeratedly, looked at Lu Ke helplessly, and said deliberately mockingly, "It's very funny." Actually, I'm not a fan of the San Francisco 49ers either, and I just heard that an undrafted rookie became a starting quarterback and won a game, so I took a temporary look. ”

It's a pity that Curry's baby face is really unconvincing, and the mocking tone still seems like a joke.

"It's not a surprise." Lu Ke said calmly, which instantly made Curry's "mocking" expression stiffen at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of helplessness, "I'm not a fan of the San Francisco 49ers, in fact, I'm a fan of the Green Bay Packers, what about you?" ”

Curry couldn't keep up with such a serious inquiry, and before he could react, he replied seriously, "Carolina Panther." After that, he further added, "I spent my childhood in Charlotte, when the Panthers were just starting to build the team, so to speak, I grew up with the whole team. ”

The Carolina Panthers are one of the youngest teams in the NFL, officially founded in 1993 in Charlotte, North Carolina, becoming the 29th team in the league and the first team to be created in the league since 1976. The entire history of the team is only 18 years.

In the '90s, Curry's father, Dell-Curry, played for the Charlotte Hornets, and he was one of the league's most famous three-point sharpshooters and is still the team's all-time leading scorer.

"Ah, it looks like we're not destined to be friends anymore, and I'm against the rookie quarterback of the Carolina Panthers." Lu Ke said with a serious expression, as if he was discussing major life events, looking at Curry's stunned expression, Lu Ke continued, "Haven't you heard?" Me and the quarterback got into a big fight in rookie camp, and we wanted to tear each other apart. ”

Because Lu Ke's expression was so sincere that Curry couldn't tell whether this was a joke or a real thing, the words couldn't help but start stammering, "Well, in fact, I ...... I haven't watched football for two years, you know, because of the professional game, the NBA is so dense that I don't have time. I don't know the rookie quarterback at all......"

"No problem, no problem." Lu Ke also nodded again and again, waved his hand, and said comfortingly, "Everyone has their own home team, fortunately, we are not mortal enemies in the same district, so things are not so bad." Then Lu Ke shrugged his shoulders, "At least in my opinion, the signs between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors are much stronger." After all, it's all within California, isn't it? ”

Then, Curry saw Lu Ke's eyebrows raised slightly, squeezed his eyebrows, and showed a hint of playfulness in his eyes. At first, Curry hadn't reacted yet, "Wait, you just say ......" Then he saw the smile on the corner of Lu Ke's mouth gradually rising, and Curry realized that it was just another prank just now, and he was fooled again, "You ......"

Curry's right hand was raised, pointed at Lu Ke, and finally fell heavily on his knee, helplessly annoyed, but he didn't know what to do - eloquence was not his forte, he could only scratch his head vigorously, his face was full of incredulity.

Lu Ke, who chuckled, added, "I'm serious, if you have a choice, maybe you should pay attention to the San Francisco 49, after all, we are brothers." I think sponsors should want to see that. ”

The Golden State Warriors for which Curry plays are located in Oakland, California, because California's nickname is "Golden State", which also comes from the legacy of the Gold Rush period. This is similar to where the San Francisco 49ers name comes from, and the two cities of Oakland and San Francisco are also in the Bay Area.

As Lu Ke said, in a sense, they are a "brother team".

This time, Curry learned to be obedient, his eyes widened, and he tried to take a serious position, "Even if I choose a brother team, I should choose the Oakland Raiders, and the San Francisco 49ers should line up at the back." However, the smile that couldn't be hidden at the corner of his mouth betrayed Curry, and there was no deterrent at all, and the whole atmosphere was completely relaxed.

In this inadvertent back and forth, Lu Ke and Curry immediately became familiar with each other.

Subsequently, Lu Ke learned that Curry made a special trip to shoot an advertisement today and joined Lu Ke's ranks. The nonsense that Lu Ke had at his fingertips just now was crooked: Under Armour intended to put Curry and Lu Ke together to promote it.

Both players are youngsters of the new generation, with a age difference of just one year; Both players belong to a California team, and both players are under a lot of pressure in their rookie seasons, and they have delivered good results.

Curry, who is thin and short, was also questioned during college and the draft, and he was even thinner than Lu Ke.

From a marketing point of view, this is undoubtedly an interesting option, and it can spark more discussion in a cross-border way.

"Phew, now it seems that my guess was correct, I can finally get some rest." Lu Ke leaned on the back of the chair exaggeratedly, pulled his hands down, and used all his strength to show his exhaustion.

Curry couldn't help but laugh, "It's all like that at first, and gradually, you'll get used to it." Then, Curry looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was around, he lowered his voice and said, "However, I still think that the shooting work is too boring, and instead of wasting time here, I should go back and shoot a thousand three-pointers." ”

"Do you think so too? Oh, God! Lu Ke agreed again and again, and the two exchanged glances, and both laughed.

Turning his head, he saw the photographer and other staff members standing not far away, all of whom looked at Lu Ke and Curry in confusion, not knowing why. Suddenly, the two young men laughed even more happily.

In the middle of the sight, a staff member walked up quickly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so busy that I forgot to introduce you." This is Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors' No. 30; This is Lu Ke, the fourteenth of 49 people in San Francisco, and today you will complete the filming work together......"

Is this introduction too late? Lu Ke and Curry exchanged a look again and laughed.

As he spoke, the staff noticed that something was wrong, but they couldn't say why, so they could only give up, "Rest for ten more minutes, and then Lu Ke will shoot first." ”

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ke's smile stiffened on his lips, his face full of astonishment, and this time, it was Curry's turn to clap his hands and laugh.
