Zhu Shan came over at this time, handed the pen in his hand to Tang Shuai and said, "Here, you can sign it on this doll!" ”
"Sign the doll?" Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "How can this work, where can I still see this doll after signing it." ”
"It's okay, it's just as good as it gets." Zhu Shan said in a firm tone, and handed over the pen as she spoke.
Tang Shuai picked up the pen and asked a little uncertainly: "It's really okay?" ”
"It's fine." Zhu Shan didn't hesitate this time.
Zhu Shan insisted again and again, Tang Shuai hesitated, and still signed his name on the clothes on the doll, because it was a pen, and it was on the cloth, the words were a little seeping, and it was crooked and ugly.
"Look, it's not pretty." Tang Shuai said with some embarrassment, in fact, this is mainly due to the level of his signature.
"No, it's beautiful." Zhu Shan said with disgust at all.
"Uh, okay...... Since you say so. Tang Shuai handed the pen back to Zhu Shan, and at this time the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and he glanced at it as Duffy's, knowing that it was urging him.
He pressed the phone and said, "Jaime is urging me, so I'll go?" ”
"Huh? Hmm......" There was a hint of reluctance in Zhu Shan's eyes, but she still nodded.
Tang Shuai smiled, then turned around and left.
After walking a distance, he looked back and saw that Zhu Shan was still there, and after a few glances, he withdrew his gaze and resolutely walked forward without looking back.
Although he has never been in love, he is obviously not an idiot, when Zhu Shan took out the big doll, he knew that this girl had some feelings for him, and even he suddenly remembered the unfinished sentence that Zhao Ran asked yesterday, but from the bottom of his heart, he didn't have much feelings for Zhu Shan except for his classmates, and he was about to go to the NBA, and Zhu Shan may not have intersected since then, so at this time, he is obviously not suitable for doing anything else.
Zhu Shan didn't retract her gaze until Tang Shuai disappeared from front of her, she looked down at the signature on the doll, and her eyes turned red for some reason.
After leaving school, Tang Shuai originally wanted to go to Su Mei, but Su Mei said that she was traveling with her parents in other places, and the two of them unfortunately missed it like this, so he had no choice but to go home first.
Seeing his family who he hadn't seen for a long time, especially his mother, who was a lot haggard, Tang Shuai's heart was still very touched, and he once again proposed the idea of moving to the United States to his mother.
His mother still refused, and in the end he had no choice but to ask his mother not to start a small business, but to let him send money back every month.
When he came back, those relatives naturally heard the news, and the originally small room was once again overcrowded.
When the contract was signed, the first thing to do was to change the house for my mother.
My sister also came, taking Xiaojie with her, Xiaojie was still very naughty, but my uncle was screaming, and it was nothing to be naughty.
He didn't stay at home for long, only a week, and under Duffy's repeated urging, although there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, he was embarrassed to put it off.
The next day, he said goodbye to his relatives, had the longest hug with his mother, and then got on a plane back to the United States with Duffy.
Watching the familiar scenery gradually become smaller, the reluctance in his heart became more and more intense, and when a person goes abroad, his relatives are indeed the most difficult part to give up.
When he arrived in the United States, it was night, in order not to get jet lag, he endured it on the plane and did not sleep, and after getting off the plane, he fell asleep directly, and he didn't even remember to tell Anna upstairs that he had returned.
When he got up the next day, Duffy got him out of bed like a duck and ran straight to the Staples Center.
Although there are still more than two months to go before the start of the preseason, Tang Shuai is obviously not like those famous stars, and the travel endorsement has passed, this period of time is obviously an excellent time for a rookie like him to improve, although being selected has represented him as a member of the NBA league, but to gain a foothold, he obviously has to put in more effort, even if he has a packaging system.
Of course, he didn't practice on his own, at least not yet.
At the Staples Center, Duffy has hired a well-known trainer for him.
Mike Procopio, the NBA's top trainer, a humble and loyal little fat man, only 1.7 meters tall, weighs nearly 180 pounds, but he is such a little fat man, but he is the most recognized trainer in the NBA, and the players he has served include superstars like Kobe.
Tang Shuai ran to the Staples Center, and saw Duffy and a little fat man waiting there.
When he arrived, he didn't bother to catch his breath, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Mike, it's nice to meet you." ”
"Hey, Don, me too." Procopio said with a smile.
Tang Shuai smiled and shook his hand, and then entered the Staples Center together.
Tang Shuai didn't deliberately show those politeness, but because Prokopio is now the Mavericks' head of player development, Duffy was able to hire him, and in addition to using his network, Nahura also helped a lot in this.
Following Procopio into the training gym, the NBA's well-known trainer didn't let him start training right away, but did a basic body side first.
Tang Shuai was very puzzled, Duffy must have given the basic player information such as body side data to this trainer a long time ago, but he didn't expect him to let him test it again.
But Procopio said so, and there was no reason why he shouldn't cooperate.
When the test was over, Procopio startled him with the first thing he said.
"Tang's height should be more than one meter eighty-five."
"What?!" As soon as Prokopio's voice fell, Duffy and Tang Shuai both looked at him in surprise, knowing that height is definitely one of the reasons that limit his development the most for the current Tang Shuai.
Prokopio said unhurriedly: "Normally, the body side of the NBA will not have problems, but Don is a little different. ”
"Uh, why am I different?" Tang Shuai asked curiously, and touched himself vigorously, it didn't seem to be any different.
Prokopio continued: "How can you say that, Tang, your Chinese education should be a very important part of schoolwork, right? ”
"yes." Tang Shuai said noncommittally that the Chinese pay attention to theoretical study, while the United States pays attention to practice, which is indeed a little different.
"So that's not what I'm talking about, and it's not necessarily a good thing to say now." Procopio said and stepped forward and touched Tang Shuai's back and spine, and said, "Tang, you are a little hunchbacked, and it is a little obvious. ”
"Forehead ......"
Tang Shuai didn't expect Prokopio to say this for a long time, because of the perennial homework load, Chinese will be more or less hunchback than people from other countries......
He was a little speechless at this point, but Prokopio's next words made him overjoyed at once.
"I've got a way to straighten your spine, and according to the predictions, it should make you longer than the data on your side...... Five centimeters, if you follow my training method, if everything goes well, seven centimeters is not impossible. ”
