Chapter 78: The Banquet
While Chen Shu was training frantically, he received an invitation from Nash. Nash, who is recuperating from injuries at home, took advantage of the team's rest time today to invite all his teammates to a party at his villa, which is called the rookie welcome party, so that the rookies can better integrate into the team and get to know their teammates better. There are other goals that allow teammates to take a break from the heavy lifting of the game and relax
Although he received an invitation to the banquet, it was still early, and Chen Shu still talked about the completion of today's training task step by step. When it was about the same time, I took a shower, cleaned up, and then thought about going home and changing into a set of clothes suitable for the banquet.
But when he came to the house, opened his wardrobe, and saw a few sportswear hanging sporadically in the wardrobe, Chen Shu scratched his head in distress. He has always loved basketball, even when he was in school, he was dressed in sportswear all year round, and he was used to it.
Suddenly, he received an invitation to a banquet, in his mind, NBA players are rich, the standard of this banquet will definitely not be low, when the time comes, everyone else is in suits and leather shoes, dinner dresses, dressed to attend, I heard that many people also stayed with female companions, Nash also invited some female friends, and he was wearing a tracksuit, which is a little embarrassing to think about.
In fact, Chen Shu does not reject any trendy brand clothing, but he really doesn't use it usually, and he doesn't have a girlfriend or anything, he can help with reference, it seems that he should talk about a girlfriend well, but I don't know how Mitchell is now, Chen Shu thought. But even if you buy it, it seems too late, think about it, it's a shame.
Chen Shu had never been to Nash's mansion before, so he took a taxi to the address given by Nash.
Chen Shu knows that Nash is now living alone, because he divorced his wife not long ago, his wife and two daughters now live in Los Angeles, only Nash lives alone in this large house of more than 600 square meters, so he often invites friends or teammates to come to the house as guests, one is for social needs, and the other is to pass the boring time, not to mention, now he is recuperating at home, although it is not a major injury, but it is inconvenient to go out.
As for why Nash divorced his wife Alexandra, and the divorce procedures were handled within 24 hours of the birth of their son. This behavior was called an unqualified husband by many fans, after all, his wife needed his care at this time. So what's the secret, after all, they have already given birth to 2 daughters before. But the insiders of this matter are very secretive about it, which also causes many outsiders to have different opinions.
One of the most reliable theories is that Nash's former teammate Barbossa seduced Nash's wife, Alexandra, and the two even impregnated Alexandra for adultery, who gave birth to Barbossa's son. But Nash has never released the truth of the matter, most likely just to protect his two daughters from outside rhetoric.
But if that's the case, Nash is a bit of a tragedy.
Soon Chen Shu arrived at Nash's residence, and when he got out of the car, he was greeted not by a reinforced concrete building, but by a lush greenery. At the entrance of the mansion stand several tall palm trees, and under them is a compact lawn interspersed with low shrubs. There is a small circular fountain pool at the main entrance. Behind the fountain is a wrought-iron gate about 7 or 8 meters wide painted with dark brown games.
Local tyrants! Living in such a luxurious mansion, not to mention that NBA stars are all local tyrants. And Nash's salary is not very high in the entire NBA, and there are many players who are richer than Nash. At this moment, Chen Shu seemed to see his future luxurious life.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
Chen Shu was in anticipation, but was quickly interrupted by a voice.
"Chen, what's the fuss, why don't you go in" The one who spoke was Morris who had just taken a taxi.
"Markieff, why did you come by taxi too?"
"Of course I took a taxi, Nash only has 4 garages at home, I'm a small character, I don't have a parking space for me to park when I drive, hey, Steve is really, I bought such a small villa, and I always like to party, the last time I drove here, the car can only be parked in a far parking lot."
"What, is this still small? How big can it be? ”
"Haha, it's rare and weird, don't you know that LeBron and Kobe's villas of tens of millions of dollars, that's called a big one, and it is said that there is no problem with running horses"
At this time, the lights in the mansion were bright, the door was open, and while saying that Chen Shu was familiar with Morris, he walked in.
When they arrived at the door of the parlor, they found that all the lights were on, but only the reception room was dark. The two of them were a little puzzled, didn't anyone come yet? But Nash can't be absent, right? When things go unusual, there must be demons.
The two walked through the door, looking for the switch for the light. Suddenly, the lights flickered, and all the tubes turned on instantly. In an instant, Chen Shu couldn't open his eyes by the dazzling lamp, he heard the shouts of many people cheering together, and then he felt as if there was a heavy rain spraying on him, and in an instant, Chen Shu was already like a chicken in soup.
When Chen Shu opened his eyes, he saw a room full of men and women spraying champagne at Chen Shu.
"Welcome to the NBA, rookie" Many teammates shouted to Chen Shu in unison, saying a classic sentence that only juniors can say on the court.
At this moment, Chen Shu didn't feel uncomfortable at all, what he felt was the recognition and care of his teammates, and Chen Shu's heart was warm at this time. Although he was soaking wet, he smiled at everyone and happily thought about a child.
At this time, Nash walked over and patted Chen Shu on the shoulder, "Welcome to the Suns family, man!" ”。
"Thank you, Nash!" Chen Shu was full of gratitude to Nash at this time, and he couldn't say anything other than thanks.
When Chen Shu looked back to see how Morris was doing, he found that this guy was lying at the door of the living room, showing his head and laughing at Chen Shu.
At this time, Chen Shu realized that Morris had long known that there was such a scene, and when the two walked into the living room together, this guy took the opportunity to retreat. It turned out that these guys were all colluding, Chen Shu picked up an open bottle of champagne on the side and sprayed it at Morris.
At this time, there was a commotion in the living room, and everyone began to laugh again.
After that, Chen Shu took a shower in the single-family room of Nash's mansion and changed into Nash's clothes, fortunately, the two were relatively similar in size, and there was no sense of disobedience when they wore them, but they just wore them temporarily, because the washing machine in the mansion has a drying function.
Morris takes Chen Shu around Nash's mansion, a five-bedroom home with a separate guest house, swimming pool, four garages and a wine cellar, complete with luxurious European decorations, Chen Shu finds himself in love with the life of an American tycoon. It is said that this mansion is worth millions of dollars, which is still a bit far away for Chen Shu at present.
The banquet didn't last long, because there was a game tomorrow night and it was advisable to relax properly as a player, but most of the time, the first thing to do to succeed in an athletic league is self-discipline, which is also the work ethic that a professional player should have.
Chen Shu once again expressed his gratitude to Nash, and it can be seen that this banquet has been of great help to Chen Shu to better integrate into the team and the city of Phoenix.
