Chapter 17: Good Friend Conley

"Two-section male?" Roy on the side was interested. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "What does this mean?" ”

The Trail Blazers on the court established their lead early, and the starting lineup had already been rested, leaving only a few substitutes and non-guaranteed contract players to perform themselves on the court, hoping to gain the trust of the head coach and get playing time or a guaranteed contract.

"Now it's the fourth quarter, and in this case, do you think the coach will still let Oden?" Aldridge asked rhetorically.

"Of course not, unless the coach is stupid!"

"That's not the end, following the last game, our Emperor classmate Oden, once again glorious for two quarters!" 、

"It's none of my business!" Oden waved his hand repeatedly.

"Oden!" Head coach McMillan suddenly called out to Oden.

"Here!" Oden hurriedly replied and said to Aldridge next to him: "Now you are wrong, I am going to play!" ”

"Coach, what's the matter with you calling me?" Auden ran in front of McMillan.

"Oh, it's okay!" McMillan waved his hand. "By the way, your injuries are alright, right?"

"Thank you coach for your concern, it's been fine for a long time, I feel like I can kill a cow!" Oden exaggeratedly said that he was afraid that the coach would reduce his playing time again because of injury.

"That's good, okay, you can continue to rest, it looks like you don't need to play this game!"

"Oh......" Oden sulked as he walked back to the bench.

"Why didn't our big monster play?" Aldridge also thought in his heart that the head coach shouted Oden to make Oden ready to play.

Roy, who was a little precocious, walked to Auden's right and sat down, patting Auden on the shoulder. "It's not just about getting on the pitch, it's also very important to sit on the bench and rest. If you think about it, even if you fight all the time on the field, your opponent will always have enough stamina to consume you, and even the iron man will be worn out. Besides, if you still have injuries on your body, the coach will not take any risks. You know, the preseason is far less important than the long regular season! ”

Roy comforted Oden, and at the same time comforted himself, and in terms of pure playing time, he was not much different from Oden. Even Aldridge, who has always been arrogant, really counts the playing time, and it's the same. Preseason, after all, is only a preseason.

Oden looked at the players running on the field with a hint of envy in his eyes. Roy's words were in his ears, and Auden also listened to them, touching the wound that was covered by the arm guard, and Auden found that the arm was no longer painful, and the scar formed by taking off the arm guard also showed signs of falling off.

At the last second, the Hawks, who had already given up the game, did not resort to foul tactics after Steve Blake's dribble, ruining a wonderful night's game. In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Hawks 110-104 to celebrate two consecutive wins in the preseason.

"Hey, Oden, tomorrow the coach has a day off, go have a drink tonight?" In the locker room, Aldridge invited Oden out for a drink.

Oden took off his jersey, revealing his tendons. "Forget it, it's better not to, go to bed early and get up early, continue training tomorrow, I want to make up for the training that fell on my right arm."

"That's right, Oden, in the league, we will be eliminated if we don't work hard!" Roy was sympathetic to Oden's attitude.

"Alright, Brandon! Put away your sermons, and you just say whether you are going or not? Aldridge interrupted Roy and asked bluntly.

"Don't go!" Roy is also very direct.

"I'm in for a treat!"

"Go, what time? Leaving right away? Why don't you hurry up and clean up? ”

Auden looked at Roy, who was rapidly changing face, dumbfounded. "Brandon is like this, don't look at him always looking preachy, in fact, he can clubbed better than me!" Aldridge whispered to Oden.

"Did you say anything bad about me again?" Roy walked over without a sound, startling Aldridge.

"Nope!" Aldridge was in shock.

"Then you don't hurry up, let's get it done and let's go!"

"Go?" The door to the locker room was pushed open, and McMillan, dressed in a crisp suit and with his hair unkempt, walked in. "Where are you going? Brandon? ”

"Uh...... Well, in order to celebrate this victory, Aldridge decided to invite me and Auden to dinner, and I was urging him to leave early, or the hotel would close. Roy betrayed Aldridge decisively.

"So? So I wonder if I can attend your banquet? LaMarcus? ”

"Of course, it's my pleasure." Aldridge looked bitter, thinking that this time the clubbing plan was aborted.

"Haha, put away your reluctant look, I'm joking with you again, I'll have work to finish later, remember, you don't drink too much." McMillan laughed, but told him not to drink too much.

Although Aldridge and Roy repeatedly invited, Oden still postponed it, and now Oden feels as if he has not fully integrated with his body, and always feels that something has not been brought into play. It's like being in Baoshan, but you can't take away the treasure on Baoshan.

Memphis, a city full of neoclassicism and romanticism. It is in the southeastern part of the United States, and the Mississippi River passes by it. The temperate and subtropical climate makes Memphis a more suitable climate with rainfall. The Cotton Carnival in May has become a special tourist attraction in Memphis. One of the teams in the NBA: the Grizzlies is located in such a city.

In this year's draft, the Grizzlies selected Mike Conley from Ohio State University with the No. 4 pick. The talented guard, who has been teammates with Oden since high school, is second only to Oden in the Indiana Basketball of the Year. Oden and Conley, who have always been teammates, have also formed a deep friendship.

Memphis greeted the Portland Trail Blazers from afar with a drizzling rain, the gray sky, sprinkled with a light rain, and the beautiful mood was slowly worn away. But Oden, who was desperate to meet his best friend, strolled through the picturesque city of Memphis with an umbrella.

"Hey, brother, is it okay not to see you for a long time?" Downstairs in what looks like a castle, there is a simple café, and Conley, who has made an appointment to meet inside, arrives early and waits for Oden. The moment he saw Oden come in, Conley greeted him excitedly and hugged him warmly.

"I'm still the same!" Auden patted his chest and said. "But you look stronger than ever! That's nice! ”

"How can you be perverted! You can dunk with anyone! Oh my God, it really makes me unbelievable! ”

"Haha, where is it so exaggerated as you say?"

The two of them each talked about what happened after their separation, communicated, and discussed their prospects for the future.

"By the way, how are you and Lillian? Is there still a connection? Conley suddenly asked about Auden's private life.

"Of course, we talk on the phone every day, and seriously, if it weren't for the game, I would definitely go back to her, brother, I think I'm going to be in love."

"Then go after it boldly, Greg, you are so good, you will definitely be beautiful!"

"Yo Yo, we used to blush when we talked to girls, and we started to give me advice!"

"Okay, you give me less."

The moment of getting together is always short, and no matter how good the time is, it will gradually become a part of history. Time is ticking, and the preseason game against the Memphis Grizzlies is about to begin.

PS: The second chapter is working hard, and I don't know when it will come out, so don't wait if it's too late, rest is the most important thing, and it's the same tomorrow!
