9. Francis's hostility
Bang bang ......
"Ace, Ace, get up, hurry up and have breakfast, there's a game ...... in the evening"
The knock on the door was accompanied by a gentle call......
Liu Mang woke up instantly when he heard this voice.
Rent again?
Wait, why is this voice so gentle today?
Liu Mang looked at himself, and sure enough, he had grown a lot, and he couldn't go back to the original world after a sleep.
I was well dressed, I was so excited last night, I was so excited that I fell asleep directly.
Reasonable.
Liu Mang tidied up his clothes and walked out of the room to the small living room.
Liu Mang rents an apartment building less than three kilometers away from Atlanta's Phillips Arena, with a small area, more than 40 square meters, a living room, a room, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a balcony.
Liu Mang came out and opened the door, he was his own landlord.
"Oh, Levia, I just paid the rent two days ago! The money is still borrowed! I won't raise the rent at this time! I said that I would wait until I paid my salary. Although Liu Mang spoke quickly, he had no confidence.
When he came to the United States to go to college, Liu Mang came to rent here, the rent was not expensive back then, and the landlord Miss Levia Savicia saw him as a student, and the rent he asked for was not much, 300 US dollars a month, which was less than half of the other tenants.
However, this rent is called a tight, Liu Mang's family is not very wealthy, the family can only pay him tuition, living expenses are work-study or something, sometimes the rent of 300 per month is not enough.
As for living on campus...... Not to mention the racial discrimination that may be encountered in living on campus, Liu Mang's Georgia Institute of Technology alone has a living fee of 5,000 US dollars a year, which is not something that ordinary international students can afford.
And most of the international students, the rented house is about 200 US dollars a month, 15 to 2,000 US dollars a year, Liu Mang rented this apartment is quite luxurious, luxurious sometimes his classmates think he is a local tyrant, the rent of the suite above the second floor is normally as high as 10,000 US dollars a year, Liu Mang is only 3600 a year, which is a big bargain.
It's just that after renting for less than half a year, Liu Mang wants to live in a single room like those classmates.
I don't want to do anything else, I just want to live cheaply, this apartment is almost all small couples live together, and it seems that there is only one suite for him, a single dog group.
However, there is one thing that the rent is really cheap compared to other tenants, and it has been cheaper for two years......
The big beauty now looks hurt: "Oh, Ace, in your eyes, am I a woman who only knows money?" ”
“…… If you don't push for rent on time on the 30th of every month, and you have to raise the rent if you don't see me selected for the NBA, I probably won't think so. Liu Mang said speechlessly, "Isn't it urging rent?" Then Levia, why did you wake me up early in the morning? ”
He couldn't figure it out! The owner of a seven-story apartment with more than 20 suites for rent Why does the rich woman who urges the rent every month to be the same as the charter wife? Or is it a woman who has become a charter wife, even if it is a beauty, is this urine?
"Ace, you will be a big star in the future, will you still care about this rent, it must be a year to pay, and then you will buy a villa by yourself, and you won't ask me to return the money, you say yes!"
Liu Mang looked at the beautiful landlady who still looked like a man of money, and said he was very helpless.
"Okay, okay, come to Ace, my sister made you breakfast today."
The beautiful landlady was so attentive, Liu Mang said that he was really not used to it.
In these years, the people of the American imperialists are just as depraved! When he fell to the second round before, the landlord almost kicked him out without giving him a rent increase, and then signed a contract for the first year of security, so he kept him again, and then played a good game, scored 10 points in his debut, and seemed to be famous, and he became so close in an instant.
Liu Mang followed the beautiful landlord to the top floor of the apartment, he lived on the sixth floor, and the other suites on the sixth floor were empty and not rented out, all of them were used by the beautiful landlord to put things, and the five floors below were rented out, and the apartment was the street, there was no so-called community in the United States, it was all streets, otherwise it was a villa area, and the apartment buildings generally covered a large area, all at the end of the street.
The seventh floor is equivalent to a super-large suite, and almost the entire is opened up to the beautiful landlady and her family to live by themselves.
Liu Mang has been here many times in the past two years, mainly to pay the rent and sleep, and those memories are almost integrated, just like what he has done, Liu Mang is quite familiar with this place.
said that the beautiful landlady is a family, but it seems that there are only two people, she and her daughter.
"Wow, Uncle Ace, today Dinah thinks Uncle Ace has become handsome!" A blonde and blue-eyed little beauty rushed over like a miniature version of the beautiful landlady and grabbed Liu Mang's thigh, "I used to think that the uncle was a bad uncle who would only secretly stare at my mother's breasts, but I didn't expect the uncle to be so powerful!" Beat up that ugly monster on Team Rocket! ”
Little Lori is the best! Five or six-year-old little Lori is simply cute.
However, Liu Mang still remembers that it was this little Lori who looked cute but was extremely arrogant and tricked himself into this expensive apartment, at that time, the apartment had just been built, and the house was not rented out, and even the little Lori came out to sell.
Also, Francis is also pitiful, isn't he too African-looking, why is he ugly...... Indeed, most blacks are ugly.
Liu Mang went to the living room under the leadership of Dinah's little sister and saw the breakfast on the table.
This...... Liu Mang saw the sumptuous breakfast on the table, and felt that something was wrong, and it must be wrong.
When Liu Mang went to college, he didn't come to eat when he was too poor to want, after all, the school team didn't have training and games every day, and they had to go to class, most of the time they had to eat themselves, and the school team only had one meal at noon, and they ate themselves for breakfast and dinner.
However, how could Liu Mang ever see this big and small beauties prepare such a sumptuous breakfast?
In the past, it was a few slices of bread, a bottle of tomato sauce, at most an egg, and a hot milk on the top of the day, and no slices of vegetables would be given, but today there are actually French soups, vegetables, bread, tender beef slices, egg tarts, miso soup, saury, natto...... There's even a plate of meat buns!
Breakfast is available in China, West and Japan!
Is it Chinese New Year? Christmas is just over a month away! And even last Christmas, the beautiful landlady just bought a hamburger for him for breakfast!
Liu Mang was a little apprehensive, what is this beautiful landlady going to do?
No, what the hell is the picture?
Liu Mang knows his own affairs, and it must be impossible for this beautiful landlady to take a fancy to him.
Although the apartment is not far from the Phillips Center, that is, it is not possible to be in the city center, but in the suburbs, it is worth at least $10 million due to its convenient transportation, not far from the subway, and the proximity of Phillips Arena, home of the Eagles, and Mercedes Arena, home of the NFL Falcons in Atlanta.
And Liu Mang is just a second-round pick, the average career life of the NBA's second-round pick is less than three years, and the average salary of all the players who entered the NBA in the second round last season is less than 1 million US dollars, he knows that even if he is an NBA player, if he doesn't do it well, he may not make one or two million in his career, maybe there will be no then, and it is definitely impossible for a beautiful landlady to take a fancy to him.
Want to say Liu Mangshuai? He doesn't think he's handsome, at most he has clear eyebrows, and if he is rich, he is definitely not as rich as the beautiful landlady of others.
So Liu Mang was even more apprehensive, took a bun that he hadn't eaten for a long time and took two bites, and then felt even more weird.
Because two beauties, one big and one small, were staring at him.
I can't eat this hearty breakfast! Liu Mang smiled bitterly and asked, "Levia, Dinah, what are you staring at me?" ”
"It's okay, we won't rush you, Dinah won't be in class today and Saturday, eat slowly, eat more." The beautiful landlady said with a smile.
"That's right, uncle eats a little more, and when he is full, he has the strength, and he tries to beat Iverson at night, just like he beat Francis's ugly uncle yesterday!" Dinah Lori said with a clenched fist.
It turned out to be this thing!
Liu Mang thought to himself, he remembered that Americans' sense of belonging to sports is much stronger than that of Chinese, most of the people in European and American countries are team honey, and the home team of the two mothers and daughters of the beautiful landlady is the Eagles, no wonder they are so attentive today, it turns out that this is the case.
Speaking of the 76ers, people still have the impression of the second best team in the league last season, last season the 76ers won almost all the awards in the regular season, MVP is Iverson, the best coach is Larry Brown, the best defensive player is Mutombo, the best sixth man is Aaron McGee, the best manager is their owner Joshua Harris, except for the most improved award, the five most important awards of the regular season were all won by them.
And this year, the 76ers basically kept their core roster from last season, and then brought in the 1990 No. 1 pick, former super power forward Derrick Coleman, and quasi-first-class small forward Matt Halprin, which looks like they have a qualitative reinforcement, and it looks difficult for the Hawks to win against them.
But Liu Mang knows that this year's 76ers are very average, not weak, but definitely not a top strong team, and the Hawks still have the strength to fight.
But Liu Mang is a little strange, when did he blow up Francis? Didn't you secretly rely on Klay Thompson's ability to shoot a few threes?
Then, the sports news on the TV that was playing told him the answer.
ESPN Sports' morning broadcast, which keeps rotating and then inserting the latest news, is similar to the sports news of Imperial Court Channel 5.
Unlike domestic news broadcasters who are either aunts or obscene uncles, there are not so many strange regulations in the United States, and the news must be found with beautiful anchors!
The beautiful anchor of the ultra-deep V began to read the press release again: "...... Today is the second day of the NBA regular season, and today's hot game has the Philadelphia 76ers' away game against the Atlanta Hawks, and in yesterday's game, Hawks rookie Ace Liu performed well, beating the Rockets point guard Steve Francis, scoring 10 points in 3 minutes to help the Hawks complete the comeback......"
Depend on! Liu Mang wants to scold people, this title party!
This is a proper pull of hatred!
Don't say anything else, his popularity is very good, and he has a good relationship with many stars, and now he has made a news that he has blown up Francis! Liu Mang feels like he's going to be targeted! Not to mention those stars who have a good relationship with Francis, they burst the gimmick of Francis at him, and it is estimated that blowing him up will make many obvious defenders very motivated! Anyone who has seen what happened to Lin Crazy knows how hard it is to be targeted by major superstars after Lin Crazy's short peak period!
At this moment, it was estimated that Francis, who was still in the hotel and had not yet returned to Houston, also got up to watch the news and eat breakfast, and a voice popped up in Liu Mang's head.
Received the latest assignment Francis hostile: score at least 15 points on Francis' head in his next game against the Rockets, including a one-on-one three-pointer. Task completion rewards intermediate superstar value of any profession lottery once, failure penalty only wear ** in New York Times Square for a lap. Note: The Intermediate Superstar Value Draw can specify a lottery direction, and there is a one-third chance of winning the specified direction item. ”
“……”
Depend on!
It turns out that this system is really a rogue!
Wear only **? What's the difference between this and naked-Ben!
And it's also Times Square, the most trafficked in the United States!
But this reward ......
It's equal to 10,000 superstar values! According to the calculation of tens of hundreds of points in a regular game now, it may not be possible to earn a year's competition!
But with such a high reward, this difficulty is certainly not ordinary! This time, it was while Francis was still contemptuous that he hit 3 three-pointers in a row, didn't you see Francis getting serious and about to kill? It's not about how good Francis is defensively, it's about the ruthlessness that players who entered the NBA in the 90s carry with that kind of ruthlessness!
Seeing Liu Mang suddenly in a daze, Dinah Little Lori shouted: "Uncle, uncle, eat quickly!" It's going to be cold, come on! If you win the 76ers today, Dinah will kiss her uncle......"
The beautiful landlady on the side couldn't help but laugh, what a pleasant thing it is to watch people eat deflated.
“…… No, it is a crime to molest a girl. Liu Mang was speechless.
"Dinah will become a big beauty in the future!" Dina little Lori emphasized, but looking down at her small body is really not attractive, so she said: "Then, then give my mother to my uncle, no, my mother will cut her fist, and it is estimated that she will beat her uncle to death, so Dinah secretly called her uncle to kiss while her mother was asleep." ”
"......" This time it was the turn of the beautiful landlady to be speechless......
