At the end of the day's training session, the players whistled and all went to the locker room to take a shower, and Tang Tian called Westbrook to stop him alone.

Westbrook looked a little nervous, and the head coach kept the players alone, mostly to lecture them.

Tang Tian saw his expression and knew that he had misunderstood himself.

He smiled, then patted Westbrook on the shoulder, waiting for him to relax a bit, and then said, "It's your birthday in two days, what, are you going to have a party or something?" ”

"Yes, but ......"

"I'll be free then." Without waiting for Westbrook to finish speaking, Tang Tian said with a smile.

Westbrook was stunned for a moment, this was not a hint, it was explicit.

"Well, I'll definitely invite a coach then." Westbrook continued.

Tang Tian nodded, and then motioned for Westbrook to go to the locker room.

Two days later, Tang Tian and Swift appeared at Westbrook's home together.

Westbrook's home is a detached house in the suburbs, with three floors, each about 200 square meters.

It's just that the house is still a mess, which is what Westbrook wanted to say before, they used to live in the city, which he bought after signing a big contract with the team, and the family hasn't moved yet.

There is a meadow behind the house where the party takes place.

said it was a party, but in fact, there were very few people, and the Thunder also came to Durant, Harden, and Ibaka, and no one else came except for his parents and brother Renard Westbrook.

It's a small party, but everyone has a great time.

It was also at this party that Tang Tian had a deeper understanding of the character of the Thunder Four.

Harden is a complete comic, even if he is holding a kebab, he will improvise a sassy hip twisting dance, Durant is very sullen, and from time to time he uses his eyes to prostitute the girls at the party scene, Ibaka is very cold, and basically just sits there and doesn't talk the whole time.

As for Westbrook, it looks a bit like a hybrid, and in front of Durant and Harden, he keeps laughing and joking, but when he leaves them, he becomes a little confused and silent.

Halfway through the party, Tang Tian stood on the balcony on the second floor and beckoned to Westbrook below.

Westbrook saw this and quickly went upstairs.

This party, he originally didn't plan to invite Tang Tian, Tang Tian took the initiative to come, and it definitely wouldn't be as simple as just wanting to join his party.

Going up to the second floor, the two sat down on the balcony.

Tang Tian glanced at Westbrook's green cheeks, in fact, Wei Shao at this time was just 22 years old.

"Russell, I should have talked to you earlier, but I haven't had a chance."

Westbrook didn't speak, he still looked a little nervous.

"I want to know what you've been through, how is it, can you tell me?" Tang Tian continued.

Although he is cross-passed, it is impossible to know everything, to be honest, he only has a general understanding of Westbrook, he played impulsively in the early days of entering the league, and he did not control his temper and often ate T, and later controlled his temper and met Durant running away, and directly became a paranoid data maniac.

Although it is difficult to change a person's personality after it is decided, personality is often created by the experience of growth and the environment.

"My past?" Westbrook frowned as he spoke, looking a little reluctant to remember.

"Yes, I want to know you better, and of course if you want, I can also tell you about my past." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Westbrook was stunned for a moment, but didn't speak.

Seeing his reaction, Tang Tian sighed, it seems that this road is not good, and he still has to change his angle.

"Actually, it's not ......," but at this moment, Westbrook took the initiative to speak.

Tang Tian looked at him curiously.

"In high school, I was a little guy, maybe 5'8, less than 140 pounds."

5 feet 8, generally the height here is inches and feet, that is, about 1.73 meters; 140 pounds is 127 pounds.

Glancing at Westbrook in front of him, it was hard to imagine that he was so short and thin at that time.

"I was averaging 25.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game in my junior year of high school, but I was in the top 100 in the country, oh no, I guess I couldn't be found on the whole list because they thought I was too small, they thought I couldn't even play college basketball."

Tang Tian nodded, basketball is a very talented sport, especially when it is already the third year of high school, the skeleton can already be seen, although there are some people who will suddenly skyrocket in the future, but after all, it is a minority.

"Kelsa is a great guy, he's 6-foot-6 tall at 15, 200 pounds, he led us to beat Long Beach Poly School in the quarterfinals of the CIF Southern Region, they were the first in the Southern Region, he got 18 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks, everyone knew he was going to be the next NBA player, UCLA was recruiting him, he was so good." Westbrook's eyes were a little excited, and his face was full of happy smiles.

"Kaelsa?" Tang Tian didn't know why Westbrook suddenly mentioned such a person, and he had never heard of such a player in the NBA, so he asked curiously, "Where did he go later?" ”

"Heaven." Westbrook's smile suddenly retracted as he said this, and then he reached out and pointed to the top of his head, his eyes slightly reddened.

Heaven.

Tang Tian understood the meaning of his words, the one named Kelsa should have unfortunately died early.

"It was an afternoon, we were going to Southwest College to play a game, I remember very well, it was a very ordinary afternoon, but the weather was not good, it was gloomy and like it was going to be afternoon, but the game was indoors, but I didn't see Kelsa on the field, I thought the guy had overslept until the game was about to start, they didn't tell, they told me......" Westbrook said this, his tone a little choked.

Tang Tian can understand Westbrook's mood changes, the one named Kelsa should be friends with him, and judging by his reaction to Harden and Durant at the party, he is a person who cares a lot about friendship.

"The past is gone." Tang Tian opened his mouth to comfort, he suddenly felt that it was a bit cruel for him to let Westbrook recall this.

"Yes, the past is gone." But at that moment, Westbrook burst out laughing.

"That guy is alive, I'm me, and I'm him." Westbrook said as he looked at his left wrist.

Tang Tian also followed his gaze.

Westbrook is different from other players in terms of dress, in addition to the fashion that only he can understand, in fact, there is another point, that is, he has always worn two bracelets, one blue and one orange.

At this time, he was wearing a blue bracelet on his left hand, and three words in orange were engraved on the bracelet: KB3.
