Rejecting Aldridge's invitation to go to the nightclub again, Auden rushed back to his rented house overnight. Looking at the house with the lights out, Auden tiptoed open the door, ready to rinse it down again and then go back to sleep.

"Hey Greg, it's you back! I heard some movement and thought someone else had come in! Just as Auden had just washed out, Aunt Mei came out and said unexpectedly.

"Hi, Aunt Mei! I'm really sorry, I thought my movement was light enough, but I didn't expect to disturb your rest! Auden said embarrassedly.

"Huh...... It doesn't matter, people are getting older, and sleep is always shorter! Aunt Mei smiled and waved her hand: "By the way, have you eaten it?" Why don't I go and make you something to eat? ”

"No need Aunt Mei! It's too much trouble, and I'm not too hungry......" Auden had just finished speaking, and his stomach made a noise, and Auden touched his head in embarrassment.

Aunt Mei looked at Auden with a smile: "It's okay, wait a minute, it'll be fine soon!" I'm telling you, it's really bad to go to bed hungry! Aunt Mei walked to the kitchen, twisting and preparing the tools to be used.

Vegetable salad, boiled chicken breast, fried egg, and two steaks, Aunt Mei brought the prepared food to the table and said with a smile: "There are not many things at home, just get some casually!" ”

Auden, who had changed his clothes, saw the food on the table: "Thank you, Aunt Mei, it's really hearty!" I'm drooling when I see it......"

Help Aunt Mei pull out a chair, and after Aunt May sat down, Auden sat down opposite.

"Hurry up and eat!" Oden's careful little movements made Aunt Mei very happy.

"Hmm!" Auden nodded, and took a big gulp. Although it was the same vegetable salad, Oden felt noticeably different from the nutritious meal he ate on the team.

"Hmm...... Aunt Mei, what you make is really delicious! Really praise it! Auden said with a mouth full of stuff.

"If it's delicious, you can eat more!" Aunt Mei felt that she was in a good mood today: "By the way, I watched your game and performed great!" ”

"Thank you! I also feel like we're a great team, a great group of players! Auden swallowed the food in his mouth and replied without modesty: "By the way, Aunt Mei, do you also watch basketball?" ”

"I think our family was a Trail Blazers fan, my husband, my son." Aunt Mei's eyes were scattered, and her thoughts returned to before. "It's just that I'm older now, and the team's record in recent years has not been good, so I don't see much!"

"We're going to win! Until the overall championship! Auden said suddenly, his voice firm and confident.

"Giggle......" Aunt Mei smiled: "Child, I believe in you, because your self-confidence will make you successful!" ”

Looking at Auden, who was buried in wolfing, Aunt Mei seemed to see her son who used to eat like this, although he was not very rich at that time, but he was really happy. Gradually, Aunt Mei's gaze became more softened.

"Put it there, I'll clean it up, you go back and rest quickly! I know you're really tired from flying around and playing! ”

"Then it's troublesome Aunt Mei!" Auden, who had eaten and drunk enough to relax, felt tired instantly, yawned heavily, and dragged back to his room to sleep.

The next day, Oden, who had slept until noon, got out of bed. As soon as I finished washing, the phone in my pocket rang.

"Hey, Greg!" Roy's voice came over the phone: "You didn't get up yet, did you?" That damn LaMarcus is still asleep! ”

"Of course it's up! Do you think I'm the LaMarcus pig? ”

"Haha......" Roy was visibly amused by Oden, "in that case, let's go to practice together, shall we?" ”

"That's what I mean! It just so happens that I want to find someone to go with, too! Oden also happened to be looking for someone to train with, and it happened that Roy called.

"Okay, then let's talk about it, see you at the arena in an hour!"

"By the way, did LaMarcus get called by you? Pull him over too, and say that he will train together, but he can't be lazy! ”

"Of course, I'm already on my way to his house! Damn it! Sharp brakes and horns followed.

"Damn it!" Roy was also taken aback, and hurriedly braked the car, but fortunately it was fine. "Forget it, don't talk about it, I'm driving now! We'll see you at the arena when I get LaMarcus up! ”

"Drive slowly on the road!"

"Okay, I know!" Roy took the phone away from his ear and threw it at the co-pilot. "Sure enough, you can't talk on the phone while driving, it's really harmful to others and yourself! Luckily, nothing happened! ”

Listening to Roy's complaints, Auden smiled and hung up the phone, then simply ate some food, packed up his things, and walked to the arena.

Just as Oden was finishing his warm-up exercises and practicing shooting, Roy walked in with Aldridge. After seeing the two come in, Oden threw the ball in his hand.

Aldridge, who was still a little dazed, felt as if something was flying over, and reached over to block it. The ball flew over Aldridge's hand and landed an accurate hit on Aldridge's head.

"! What's going on? Who is it? Aldridge covered his attacked head and jumped up: "Greg must be you, you did it on purpose!" ”

"What nonsense? I had just practiced shooting, and when I hit the iron, the ball bounced off. Auden glanced at Aldridge and said calmly: "You don't look when you walk yourself!" Besides, I shouted to be careful, Brand saw it, and when he noticed it, he dodged it, and you were hit before you noticed! ”

Oden's calm appearance made Aldridge think that it might be an accident. "But I always feel that something is wrong!" Aldridge muttered.

"You can do it!" Roy walked up to Auden's side and gave him a thumbs up: "This can be fooled by you!" ”

"Haha...... Small meaning, small meaning! Auden whispered, "Don't say it!" Otherwise, LaMarcus will fight with me! ”

"Of course! We're good brothers! Roy nodded as a matter of course, promising not to talk to LaMarcus.

"Okay, let's train, I'll get the ball!" With that, Auden walked away and pushed the basketball cart over.

After Oden left, Roy moved to Aldridge's side and said, "LaMarcus, don't say that I told you, Greg deliberately smashed you just now!" You think, how can the ball bounce over your head when you're so far away from the basket? ”

"Damn! I knew it was him! Brand, I have to thank you, or I'll be fooled by him! Aldridge was also smashed to his senses: "I'll just say something wrong, it turned out to be here!" No, I can't let him go! ”

Seeing Aldridge walking towards Oden, Roy couldn't help but laugh, it seems that there is going to be a good show!

"Greg, I'm going to duel you!" Seeing Aldridge coming, Auden was shocked, could it be that the matter was revealed? As Oden ran away, Aldridge shouted.

"What do you want to do?"

"What do you say? How dare you smash me! I won't let you go! ”

"Stop, how could I smash you? We're good brothers, how could I be willing to smash you! ”

"Hmph...... I already know, don't try to quibble! ”

"Did someone tell you?" Auden's eyes were clear and he glanced at Brand who was watching the play behind him from time to time.

"It wasn't Brand who told me, I guessed!"

"Damn, this bastard!" Roy patted his head speechlessly, what is a pig teammate, this is!

"Brand, you're a superficial brother!" Auden looked at Roy with disdain.

After the three of them fought for a while, they began to devote themselves to training. Aldridge defended and Oden attacked with the ball in the low post. In order to simulate the real competition environment, both men gave their best. If you want to shed less blood in wartime, you need to train more in peacetime!

Left and right tentative step, feint to shoot, big disguise, past Aldridge's Oden on the baseline, dunk the ball into the basket.

Aldridge, who had been in pain in Oden's chest, stopped training, and Aldridge, who was sitting on the ground, gasped for breath, beads of sweat the size of beans falling down his face.

"Greg, you're such a beast, and you're so strong! I'm exhausted! ”

"It's you who are too vain, brother! Men can't be fast gunslingers! ”

After resting for a while, the three of them practiced some tactics, and felt that they were too comfortable from time to time, so they stopped to discuss what methods could be used to solve these problems.

"I think LaMarcus has the ability to shoot from a distance and can play the space four position, which is to open up the space outside, Brand on the side or on the foot, and I can single the bag in the low post. Pass the ball to the open space immediately after the pack, so you can get an easy shot! Oden paused and continued.

"It can also be like this, I go to the high post to block and dismantle, LaMarcus moves to the baseline near the penalty area, and Brand continues to move to the sideline, so that whoever has an open position can attack, I can shoot in the middle, I can let LaMarcus single in the low post, or I can let Brand finish the round."

"You mean to learn from the Lakers to play the triangle offense?" Listening to Oden's description, Roy could be sure that this was an offensive tactic similar to the triangle offense.

"But your mid-range shot, LaMarcus's low post, and more importantly, the movement of the ball!" Roy was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, you can practice these!" Oden patted Roy on the shoulder and said confidently: "Believe in yourself, believe in your teammates!" ”

Just then, Auden's phone rang suddenly. Seeing that it was Lilian's number, Oden's face instantly filled with smiles.

"No matter how I look at it, it's really too cheap!" Looking at Oden, who ran to the side to answer the phone and laughed from time to time, Roy said with disdain.

"Yes, it's cheap!" Aldridge also agrees with Roy's opinion on Oden. "But I think it's worth a try!"

"What! You said you were going to Portland today? Auden suddenly shouted loudly, and after getting the other party's affirmation, Auden jumped up and shouted, "Yahu! That's great! Then he couldn't wait to ask, "What time will it be?" ”
