Chapter 68: Training? Fishing!
When you come to Chicago, it's a very different place than glitzy Los Angeles.
The skyscrapers are next to each other, making you feel like you're in a forest of steel.
Zhang Yi and Wacker traveled lightly, and when they got off the plane, Tony, a physical trainer, did not arrange for someone to pick them up.
"Where are we going?" Zhang Yi asked, carrying a small bag.
Wacker smiled and replied, "Let's go find an old friend of mine first." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw him recruit a taxi, and the two of them took a car to the city center.
They thought that WACKER's old friend would be some basketball star, but when they walked into a restaurant, they were greeted by a lady.
Wacker greeted the beautiful woman excitedly, but before he could think about it, the woman ignored him directly and stretched out her hand to Zhang Yi.
"This is ......," Zhang Yi looked at Wacker, thinking that the woman who could make the smiling butcher deflated was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Britney, my wife!" WACKER exclaimed.
The woman immediately glared at him with disdain, and said in a harsh voice, "To be precise, ex-wife!" ”
Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, and suddenly thought about it, "So you are Wali's mother?" ”
The woman's originally frowning brow immediately relaxed, and she said with a pair of big eyes, "Of course! Don't you see that his big cute eyes are with me? ”
"Haha, that's it!" Zhang Yi scratched his hair and replied embarrassedly. I couldn't help complaining in my heart that it was really strange for Wacker to choose a woman.
"I heard that your basketball initiation coach is Wang Long?" Britney said excitedly.
Zhang Yi nodded.
"How's that man doing? Is it still as handsome as it was back then? Britney asked with a look.
"Pretty good, right?" Zhang Yi replied in a low voice, and he could see that Wacker's face was green as he was pestle.
"I'm hungry, why don't we sit down and eat and talk?" Zhang Yi hurriedly pulled Wacker and Britney to sit down.
Britney kept asking about Wang Lung, even if Wacker kept coughing.
Zhang Yi was curious as to why Wacker's ex-wife was in Chicago, and later learned that she was a reporter for the Chicago Bulls.
"You didn't take your disciples all the way to see me!"
Britney churned the coffee, finally turning her gaze to Wacker.
"Huh? I'm here to see you, of course, and as for this kid, I'm going to throw him at Tony. ”
Hearing this, Britney raised an eyebrow, "You know Tony is no longer a trainer now!" ”
Wacker laughed, "Aren't you there!" ”
Zhang Yi realized that WACKER didn't know Tony at all, let alone make an appointment with him.
"Hmph, you don't forget to calculate me even after you're divorced!" Britney scoffed. But listening to her tone, it's not impossible.
Her big smart eyes looked at Zhang Yi again, "I can help you, but you must promise me one condition!" ”
Wacker's smile froze suddenly, because after so many years of getting along with this woman, her conditions were absolutely harsh.
"Don't worry, I won't ask you to bring Wang Lung here."
The woman laughed out loud, and then asked seriously, "I want this kid ......"
Zhang Yi broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself that this woman has to be more than forty years old, does she want the old cow to eat tender grass?
"Any decision in basketball in the future, I must be the first to know unconditionally!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yi instantly felt a lot more relaxed, although he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with this condition.
Wacker thought for a moment and saw that Zhang Yi nodded, so he agreed stubbornly.
This may not seem like a big deal, but anyone who has been in basketball knows that whoever can master the first-hand resources of the stars can control the entire NBA media circle.
And Britney decided at a glance that Zhang Yi was a child who could make a name for himself in the NBA.
"Wait until I call and ask."
Britney Spears got up and left the table.
Wacker's expression was slightly nervous, because in order to allow Zhang Yi's body to cultivate to a similar perfect state, Tony's training was essential.
After about ten minutes, Britney returned to her seat and nodded to Zhang Yi and the others, "He agreed." ”
Wacker slapped the table excitedly, and the entire restaurant looked at him.
"Let's go!" He took Zhang Yi to Britney's car.
But before Wacker's excitement could go down, he suddenly realized that Britney was driving the wrong way, and they were heading for the outskirts of the city.
"Where are you taking us?"
"Go find Tony!" Britney said impatiently as she clicked on the positioning on the big screen.
When Wacker looked, the location showed Tony on the bank of a river in Lake Michigan.
After driving for more than half an hour, Zhang Yi and the three finally came to a private park.
As soon as she saw Britney's license plate, the doorman immediately opened the door, indicating that she had a good personal relationship with the owner of the place.
After parking, the three were pulled by the car boy to the bank of the river in a golf cart.
It wasn't until the beauty of the Chicago River appeared in front of them, reflecting the lake, that an old man in a fisherman's hat and a tight sweatproof shirt greeted Britney.
"Hey, my dear Tony." Britney changed her delicate temperament to a much gentle.
"Haha, my little sweetheart, it's been a long time since you've come to me for a drink!"
Tony said as he took off his hat, revealing his tough face full of age like a knife and axe.
"Is this WACKER?"
Although they were meeting for the first time, he still knew the famous Smiling Butcher as a sports insider.
"Hey, Tony, first meeting, this is my disciple Zhang Yi!" As he spoke, Wacker pushed Zhang Yi forward with one hand.
"Hello, I'm Zhang Yi."
Tony clearly didn't take his self-introduction to heart, as too many young people had already visited him in order to get a stronger body.
"Come over and don't say anything in advance, come, come with me to the house for a drink."
Tony took Wacker's shoulders and Britney and the three of them walked towards the big house on the riverbank.
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, why is there nothing else?
At this time, Tony, who had already walked away, gave an order to the person next to him, only to see that the man took out a set of fishing gear from the car.
"Coach Tony told you to fish here first, when you catch one, when you go into the house."
Zhang Yi watched them walk into the house talking and laughing, holding the fishing rod blankly, thinking to himself what is so difficult about catching a fish......
The Chicago River belongs to Lake Michigan, one of the five great lakes in the United States, because of its proper environmental protection and abundant fishing resources.
Because he often accompanies Uncle Long to fish in the sea, Zhang Yi's fishing skills are still okay.
He first twisted a handful of fish food, which smelled very fishy, and the fish food in the fish box was also large pieces of fresh fish.
"Could this fish food be prepared for me to fish for sharks?"
Zhang Yi thought so in his heart, first sprinkled a lot of fish food, and then threw the fishing rod out of the bait.
Why do stars like to fish in the offseason? Zhang Yi also asked Uncle Long this question.
"The charm of fishing? Others may think it's a casual time to enjoy the offseason with family and friends, but in my opinion, it's a game! ”
Following Uncle Long, Zhang Yi caught a 30-pound marine fish at the most, and at that moment he understood what Uncle Long meant.
It didn't take long for a ripple to appear in the place where Zhang Yi sprinkled the fish food, "Here!" ”
Zhang Yi waited patiently for the fish to bite the hook, but when the big fish flapped its tail and made a splash on the surface of the lake, he was stunned.
"What kind of fish is this? Isn't this fish essence?! ”
Zhang Yi stood up in surprise, because the fish in the water was at least one and a half meters or more, and the color of the dorsal fin was also something he had never seen before.
"Let me fish this guy alone? I'm afraid it's not a joke! ”
