Chapter 37: All Things Are Ready
Hougist hung up the call with Joseph and hurriedly contacted Jeremy Lin, and by the way, he looked at the schedule of the bighorn sheep on the website, fortunately there was no game on Sunday, and Jeremy Lin should be free.
Haugist called the phone, Jeremy Lin answered the phone, and before he could say a polite greeting, he heard the anxious voice of Hoggist in his ear.
"Brother Lin, the rivers and lakes are in emergency! I have a 3-on-3 game to play on the weekend, and the opponent was originally a high school student, but today I suddenly joined a senior FU student, who is still the main force of the school team, and I lack a college student here! ”
"But I've already graduated!" Lin replied.
"It's okay, fresh graduates are okay!" Hougist dispelled Jeremy Lin's doubts, "The game time is tomorrow afternoon, the opponents are three feet 9 inches, 6 feet 7 inches, 6 feet 4 inches, our side is 6 feet 9 inches center, 6 feet 2 inches me and 6 feet 3 inches you, height is very bad, I don't know if you have confidence?" ”
"It's okay, this height will only throw him farther when I protrude, don't worry, I am definitely enough to crush the opponent!" Jeremy Lin is confident.
"Okay, then please, see you tomorrow." Hoggist hung up the phone, and then he was relieved. This Parsons must want me to make a fool of myself in front of Li'er, but even if you make me make a fool of yourself and you show off, will Li'er like you? Now I'm looking for Jeremy Lin, and then it's time for you to make a fool of me! Haugist was smug as his phone vibrated again.
Hoggist picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Qiu Jingli, and Hoggist pressed the call button and held the phone to his ear. Qiu Jingli's sweet voice came from his ears: "Helian, where are we going to play tomorrow?" ”
"Alas, I can't play anymore, it's going to be a hard afternoon tomorrow! An old enemy of mine is coming to seek revenge."
"Huh? Then call the police! Are you safe at home? Do you want to come up to me and hide? Qiu Jingli asked with concern.
"You're mistaken, it's not that kind of opponent, Anthony Nevada, the No. 1 high school student before me. Bennett, who was beaten by me last summer, is now coming in again, and bringing helpers, including the one in Renault. I'm afraid of something', they want to fight me 3 against 3, and if they don't fight, they will make me the laughing stock of the whole state. Hougist said with a pretended frustration.
"Ahh That Parsons is so shameless, he actually chased Vegas to persecute you, and that Bennett is not a good thing, he actually found a college student to bully the small! Qiu Jingli said angrily.
"They just told me this afternoon that Parsons was also on board, and if I wasn't convinced, I could find an adult to help, so I asked Jeremy Lin." Hoggist said.
"Is that a good fight? That Parsons is very tall, and that Devon from your varsity team. Williams is about as tall as that! Qiu Jingli said worriedly.
"It's okay, basketball doesn't just have to be tall to play well! Jeremy is a professional athlete! We'll give them a good look tomorrow afternoon! ”
"Well, then you can get ready, I'll go straight to the stadium tomorrow afternoon."
"Remember to dress up nicely to cheer me on, that Parsons to death!" Hoggist instructed.
"Stop, don't worry!" Qiu Jingli said with a smile.
Hung up the phone, Hougist lay back on the bed again, he had not slept well before, now that things were fully prepared, Hoggist's heart was also bottomed, a wave of sleepiness hit again, this time he fell asleep steadily.
He slept until 5 a.m. the next morning, and Hoggist was woken up hungry, having slept all day yesterday without eating. Hoggist struggled to his feet, moved to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, searching for something to fill his stomach, but found only a loaf of bread and half a bottle of milk, and was still not satisfied after the storm.
Horgist looked at his watch, it was not yet six o'clock, and there was nothing left to eat at home, so he took out his mobile phone and texted Joseph: "Bring some breakfast in the morning, burgers, sandwiches, panini!" As for the quantity, the more the merrier! ”
Joseph was quick to text back, much to Haugist's surprise, as Joseph was usually asleep at this point. Hoggist opened the mailbox to check, "Boss, I'm so worried that I haven't slept well all night, do you still have the leisure to worry about breakfast?" ”
Hoggist replied: "Didn't I say that I invited foreign aid, don't worry, the person I invited is still your fellow countryman!" At noon, we will go to your house for a meal, eat and drink enough, and repair them in the afternoon! ”
"The person you invited is really so powerful? Then I'm relieved. Wait for me, I'll bring you breakfast! ”
"It's too early! It's not even six o'clock! Does your restaurant have breakfast so early? Hougist asked, confused.
"No, my parents haven't gotten up yet, and I'm bringing you a burger that wasn't sold out yesterday."
……
At 6:30 a.m., Hougist sat at the table, gobbling up Joseph's overnight burger.
"When will the foreign aid you invite come, will you be able to catch the afternoon game?" Joseph asked nervously.
"Oh, don't worry! No problem. Before Haugist's voice fell, he received a message on his phone, Hoggist glanced at it, and then said: "Look, he has already gotten on the train, the earliest shift, lunch is coming, I sent a message to Devon, he is 17 years old, he can drive, let him drive later, let's go to the train station to pick him up." ”
"What are we going to do after eating?" Joseph asked.
"Are you full?" Haughist glanced at Joseph.
"I'm full! I wasn't hungry either. ”
"Then can you rest assured that you know the news of foreign aid now?"
"It's kind of relieved!"
"Then go to sleep! Get some sleep, recuperate, and I'm going to teach Bennett a good lesson in the afternoon. ”
"Yes, boss, since you won the state championship, you have become more and more confident in speaking!"
"Isn't this a strong foreign aid!" Haugerst pointed to the sofa, "If you want to sleep, you can sleep on the sofa, the small bedroom where you used to sleep has been converted into a baby room for my brother." ”
"When did you have a brother?" Joseph asked curiously.
"Just a few days ago, of course, it could be my sister." Hougist yawned, "I'll be sleepy when I'm full, I'll go upstairs to sleep, I'll ask Devon to come over at 10:00." ”
When Devin drove the first-generation Lincoln Navigator who had been eliminated from the house to Haugist's house with a black smoke, Hougist was still drunk in his sleep, and Joseph opened the door for Devon, poured a glass of water, and went upstairs to wake Haugist.
Hoggist opened his eyes, feeling that it was only then that he had recovered his mental and physical strength to his best. Everyone walked out of the door together, and when they saw the big guy on the side of the road, Hoggist was startled, "I said Devon, your car is old, but it's so big!" ”
Devon smiled and said, "Yes, I'm a big guy, and I can't sit in the car if it's small!" ”
"Let's go, let's go to the train station to pick up our foreign aid, it's up to him to win!" Hogist beckoned everyone to get on the bus and set off.
On the way, Devin asked Hoggist as worriedly as Joseph before: "Is this a foreign aid company?" ”
"Hehe, don't worry, with him, Bennett is here to give you a full scholarship this time! Winning today is a sure win, as for how much to win, it depends on your performance! As long as you do well, I'm sure more universities will be willing to give you a full scholarship! Hougist smiled and said confidently.
"Sure win? You're not going to bring in LeBron, are you? Devin asked, surprised.
"Killing chickens with a knife, I have so many friends in the basketball world......"
"It's a Twitter friend, right?" Before Hougist could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Joseph, "Isn't Emperor Zhan the only athlete who can speak seriously?" ”
"That's the old calendar! This time, I'm bringing in a Golden State Warriors hopeful, 6'3" tall and ...... point guard."
"No, you brought in Stephen. Curry? Devon interrupted Haugist in surprise.
"Who did you two learn from? Why are you so rude? How can you interrupt others at will? Hogist asked, feigning displeasure.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Devin apologized repeatedly, "I was just too excited, I didn't expect you to invite Stephen. Curry, although he is a short shooter, with his amazing shooting, he brought Davidson College, a school at the tail end of the NCAA 10,000-year crane, to the quarterfinals of March Madness, and with him, he will definitely beat Bennett and Parsons! I didn't expect you to have a friendship with him! ”
"You're thinking too much!" Hougist spread his hands and shrugged, "Who told you I was invited by Stephen. Curry? ”
"Obviously you said 'Golden State Warriors hopeful, 6'3" tall, point guard', who else could this be Curry?" Joseph asked, puzzled.
"Didn't I tell you before that the foreign aid I asked for was your fellow countryman? Are you an Akron now? Hougist asked him rhetorically.
"Uh...... So who is he? The Warriors except Monta. Ellis and Stephen. Curry doesn't have any guard players I know. Joseph asked.
"Oh my God, it's rare that there is one more Chinese player in the NBA, don't you pay attention to it? Jeremy Lin, haven't you heard of it? Hougist asked Joseph in surprise.
Joseph's face was expressionless, it was obvious that he had never had such a name in his mind, and Devin looked at the road ahead and shook his head slightly.
"Well, you don't want to think about it, the opponent is two high school students and a senior varsity player, how good can it be? How many superstar universities other than Duncan did they get a degree after four years of study? Duncan is still because of family reasons. That Parsons is a senior and hasn't run for the election, which shows that his level is average, if I hire a star to beat them, will we still have a chance to perform? Besides, since the foreign aid I invited can get a contract with the Golden State Warriors, the level must be better than Parsons, don't worry! After speaking, Hougist took out his mobile phone and began to contact Jeremy Lin.
Devin and Joseph, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at each other and didn't want to say anything. The smoky navigator and the train arrived at the train station almost at the same time. After receiving the dusty Jeremy Lin, everyone sat on the black smoke of the navigator and headed for Bill's burger joint.
In the car, Haugist pointed to Joseph and introduced, "This is Joseph. Bill, whose Chinese name is Bi Jeff, is the young owner of the best burger joint in Vegas that I told you. ”
"Hello!" Jeremy Lin happily shook Joseph's hand, "Hamburgers are a big hobby in my life, I have heard in Renault that your burgers are rare and delicious, and I am very happy to be invited to play in Vegas this time, and I have the opportunity to try your burgers." ”
Joseph greeted Jeremy Lin politely, but secretly slandered: This big brother looks like a complete foodie! I didn't care about the opponent's information first, and I was thinking about eating hamburgers?
Soon at the door of the burger restaurant, Joseph's mother ran out in a panic, shouting as she ran, "Where is the fire?" Hurry up and put out the fire! ”
When the black smoke cleared, Devin stood behind the car in embarrassment, "Auntie, I'm sorry, it's because the black smoke in my car is too thick." ”
Mrs. Bi saw Hogist and his party at this time, and she greeted Hogist and the others warmly, "Helian Wu, you haven't been to Auntie's place for a long time to eat hamburgers!" Why are you tired of eating? ”
"How is it possible, the training has been hard lately, and my 'trainer' has arranged a nutritious meal for me, so I can't afford to come and taste the delicious food." Isn't this a special day to make up for it, I'll invite you today, just deduct it from the burger I didn't save before! ”
"Not like that! It's not my family that owes you, why don't you have to save for you for a meal of four hamburgers? Joseph shouted from the sidelines.
"Okay, they're all friends of the two of you, can't we afford a meal? Jeff go to the back kitchen to help, a few of you please! ”
Mrs. Bi let everyone into the shop, and now there was only a large table by the window, and everyone sat down, and soon Joseph shouted the name of Hoggist in the back kitchen, and Hougist ran to the back kitchen, and brought out two large plates of burgers with Joseph.
Jeremy Lin's eyes straightened, and after asking for permission, he picked up a hamburger in one hand and gobbled it up with his bow left and right.
Hougist looked embarrassed, and said in his heart that you are older than everyone here, you earn more, and you don't know how to restrain yourself when you eat, be reserved, you are invited by me, this picture of a hungry ghost eating has lost my face.
