"Well, let me guess, you have a woman by your side right now." Sam. Bernie's teasing voice came from his phone, and Addison couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed to hear it. He looked around his surroundings and found no suspicious figures secretly observing him.

How do I answer? It seems that you can't deny your speculation......" Addison looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was sitting opposite and cutting the steak seriously, the girl's beautiful eyes widened because of the input, her way of eating was more American, and she was used to cutting the steak into small pieces before eating. Addison couldn't help but smile when he saw it, what good-looking people do seems to be pleasing to the eye, Lin Xiaoxiao now looks like a kitten who is fully committed to dealing with fish, cute and funny.

Sam. Bernie was silent for a few seconds, and the playfulness in his words became more and more intense: "Then I don't bother you now, such as making your combat endurance decrease or something......"

"Hey, did your nightlife start at around 7 p.m.? Considering your ridiculous lifestyle, do I have to plan a change of agent? Addison rubbed his chin with his hand speechlessly, wondering if his agent was making a subtle mockery of the fact that he was still a virgin.

"Just kidding, just kidding, my dear friend. As long as it's not the devils of the Kardashian family who are with you now, I will keep you 10,000 at ease. "Sam. Bernie smiled and surrendered to Addison, and turned to business, "Remember what I told you about the NIKE advertisement, which is going to invite you and Cristiano. The one that Ronaldo filmed? The original version of the script has been sent, and I sent it to your mailbox, so I can read it when I have time recently. ”

"Well, I will, NIKE's advertising plots are very good, and I hope it won't disappoint me this time. When did the commercial start filming? Did they give a specific time? Addison asked casually, knowing that the NIKE brand was careful about inviting big-name celebrities to shoot commercials. A rising supernova like himself may not be a big deal, but when inviting superstars such as Ronaldo, Kobe Bryant, and James, NIKE usually takes a long time to use these superstars to create the most advertising impact possible.

"They haven't given me a specific time yet, but I don't think we will be rushing to shoot in the near future. After all, Real Madrid's schedule for the new season has already begun, and if possible, the ad will even be postponed until the La Liga winter break. "Sam. Bernie replied a little helplessly, in fact, the NBA players will have a tighter schedule after the start of the season than the European football league, but on this issue, NIKE must have to consider more Cristiano Ronaldo, who is much more popular and influential than Addison. There's no way around it, and Addison won't complain about it, after all, the other party is one of the top competitive athletes in the world, and he can even remove the 'one' in some aspects...... And he is also Addison's only idol in football.

Eddie, who ended the call, took a long breath, and then noticed Lin Xiaoxiao's curious gaze, the girl's mouth was stained with a little oil, but he didn't notice it.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Want to know what I'm saying on the phone? He handed over a napkin and said in a slightly playful tone.

Lin Xiaoxiao wiped his mouth so-so, first nodded when he heard the words, and then showed a sly smile: "I want to know a little, but ...... I'm not sure if that's something I should know......"

Although Lin Xiaoxiao lives in a pampered family, a good family education does not make her biased and self-centered like many upper-class children, on the contrary, she is very smart and has excellent emotional intelligence. The reason why Lin Xiaoxiao always behaves relatively innocently when she is by Addison's side is often because she deliberately wants to leave such an impression on the other party. Just like now, she knew that she and Addison were still very good friends, and there were some personal matters that she could not learn about; But she also tried occasionally with words, just for her irrepressible curiosity and desire to go further.

"There's nothing I shouldn't or can't know, it's just a call from my agent telling me something about NIKE's invitation to shoot a commercial." Addison admired the girl's liberal approach, and he didn't intend to keep it a secret as well, "Do you know who my partner for this commercial shoot is?" ”

"Who? Could it be that she is a Hollywood actress? Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao frowned, and her pink mouth pursed.

"It's Cristiano. Ronaldo! Cristiano Ronaldo! Addison couldn't help but show a little excitement when he mentioned it, what could be happier than being able to partner with an idol?

"Oh, Cristiano Ronaldo, that's good." The girl with a calm expression said that my heart did not fluctuate in the slightest, and I even wanted to eat another steak. This reaction made Addison grin awkwardly, yes, if it wasn't for watching his game on the spot, Lin Xiaoxiao might not like basketball at all, even if this girl is still a half-fan who is only interested in Addison's game; It is naturally impossible to expect such a girl to have any excited reaction to Ronaldo, and the world-famous Cristiano. In Lin Xiaoxiao's opinion, Ronaldo and Zhang San and Li Si, who have never known each other in school, should be of the same level.

After dinner, Addison sent Lin Xiaoxiao back to school, and he drove the car directly to the girl's dormitory, and watched the other party walk into the dormitory building before leaving. Although the Coral Court, where the University of Miami is located, is one of the safest and most affluent areas in Miami, even near the White House in the United States, safety at night is not reliable, and Addison has developed great vigilance in this regard since he was a child. After all, Mother Lin had asked herself to take care of Lin Xiaoxiao in G City, and no matter how he said it, he had to keep his promise.

Addison, who saw Lin Xiaoxiao away, looked at Winnie in the portable pet kennel in the back of the car (this Manchican cat was finally named Winnie by Lin Xiaoxiao), as well as a complete set of supplies including cat food and cat litter purchased at the pet store, and after a long time, he sighed: "Ell, welcome to be a new member of my family, Winnie." From today onwards, the two of us will be living together, and you are the first woman I have lived together since I was born. ”

Little Manchiken in the box naturally didn't understand what he was saying, but tilted his furry head and continued to look at Addison, and those big ignorant eyes made Addison's mood inexplicably better.

Maybe he's really close to this kitten......

Wade and Bosh returned to training in quick succession.

The 'Flashes' have fully recovered from hamstring and muscle injuries sustained in the playoffs, and although he and management have been at odds over a contract extension this summer, Wade doesn't seem to have any attitude issues as a result. After returning to training camp, the Heat team trained in accordance with the requirements of the coaching staff, talked and laughed with teammates and coaches, and still looked like an easy-going big brother.

And Bosh also got a hospital certificate that his illness has been cured before the new season, the blood clot in his body has been cleared after a summer of treatment, and now Bosh is under the guidance of the coaching staff for physical and form recovery training, and a few preseason games in the new season are the best way for him to get back to competitive form.

Spoelstra breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the team's main players were back healthy, and he didn't want to lead a group of role players and rookies to the new season. The healthy return of Wade and Bosh means a lot for the Heat, at least they haven't found the perfect replacement for Chris. Bosh's number four.

The Heat's starting lineup for the new season will not be any different from last season's vision in the coaching staff's vision, with Whiteside, Bosh, Ruhr. The starting five of Deng, Wade and Addison are still the strongest lineups. And in the rotation, Alexy. Aginsa, Amare. Stoudemire, Josh. McRoberts, Gerald. Green, Shabazz. Napier is an experienced and reliable player; Hollis. Jefferson and Josh. Richardson's ability will need to be tested in the preseason, but both rookies have been doing well in Summer League.

At least the Heat shouldn't have a stretched roster in the new season, their rotation reserves are pretty good, and the depth of the roster is not weaker than last season. If Hollis. Jefferson and Josh. If Richardson can adapt quickly, then the team's strength can definitely go to the next level. Riley's eyes are still quite vicious.

"How's it going, Mr. Spirit, isn't it a special feeling to be back on the court?" After a day of training, Addison, who returned to the locker room, joked about Wade. They have their first pre-season game of the new season at home tomorrow, and Wade worked with Addison for two hours after the training camp today.

"It's so sweet that I almost get carried away, boy. Standing on the pitch is the only place for us professional players, and although I don't know who said it, he said it brilliantly. Wade made a modest weight loss over the summer in order to be able to make his aging body more flexible and at the same time avoid his own tonnage from putting more pressure on his injury-prone knees. The 33-year-old 'Flash' has no plans to take a back seat, and in his opinion, he has at least five more years to play in this league.

"Add, I heard you were on the training ground before and Gerald. Green had a contradiction. Wade's sudden mention of the topic made the Chinese point guard stunned for a moment, and then smiled disapprovingly. Gerrard. Green's childish provocation was not even a contradiction to Addison, at most it was just a spice to spice up his boring training.

"You handled it well, I raised my hands in approval. At your age, I am far less sophisticated in dealing with conflicts than you are. Wade smiled approvingly, "You're also a key player who can represent the Heat now, and you have to make the other players feel obedient to you." Originally, I wanted to talk to Gerrard after training, but now it seems that he has been cleaned up by you. ”

"It's okay, it's easy to deal with his kind of guy who has a rogue nature in his bones." Addison raised an eyebrow, he really felt that Gerald. Green's thorn of this type is too good to solve. This kind of person will at least write all the provocation and disobedience on his face, and they are simply easy to be cute compared to the kind of guy who is yin and yang.

Looking at the calm and senseless expression on Addison's face, Wade's smile became more sincere and relaxed, and he patted the back of his head.

- Great, Addison. It's great that the Heat have a future like yours.
