Chapter 272: Christmas Eve's Troubles

The six-game winning streak, the longest winning streak the Clippers have this season, also helped them further solidify their fifth place in the West.

It's something to celebrate, but even Stephenson didn't say they wanted to go to the bar for a drink or two, and the reason for this is naturally because tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and even NBA players have to start preparing for Christmas.

When you come out of the arena, you can see Christmas trees everywhere around the street, and although most of the vendors have gone home, they don't forget to put down the Christmas tree in front of the store before leaving, making a good wish for the coming year.

Christmas was approaching, and there were few taxis on the street, so he waited for a while and didn't wait, so he had to walk a little further.

At this time, the phone rang, and he took it out to see that it was Paul.

Paul attended the press conference with him, and Tang Shuai took a faster shower, so he came out first, and Paul was late.

"Don, you're still outside the arena, aren't you?" When the phone was answered, Paul's inquiring voice was heard.

"Well, it's still there, I'm walking along the road outside the arena to the intersection ahead."

"You wait there for me, I'll drive over." Paul hung up the phone.

Tang Shuai put down his phone, blew with his mouth, and pulled the collar of his coat, it was already the coldest time in the United States, and the temperature was very low.

After a while, a car was thrown behind him, and under the street lamp, it was Paul's black BMW 750Li that could be seen slowly driving by.

When the car stopped in front of him, Paul lowered the window. Laughing and shouting at him, "Get in the car." ”

Tang Shuai rubbed his hands and followed into the co-pilot.

Paul's car was air-conditioned, and after getting in. Tang Shuai couldn't help but shudder.

Paul closed the window and said with a smile, "What? It's cold outside right now, right? ”

Tang Shuai nodded, there were a lot of taxis outside a few days ago, but tonight there were a lot less, because he didn't think about it so much.

Paul must have expected this, so he thought of coming up and giving him a ride, and Paul had the title of "good guy" in the league. This can be seen from this to some extent.

Paul started the car and said as he drove it, "Devon has a car, you should buy one too." It doesn't have to be too good, just be able to travel. ”

Tang Shuai nodded thoughtfully, Paul's words really reminded him, originally because the league wanted to prevent players from squandering. Each team is required to pay out to rookie players on a monthly basis. But in fact, rookies can apply for early collection, and the decision is up to the team.

He didn't think about buying a car before because he didn't have much money, but after staying for so long, a car is indeed an indispensable thing.

After Paul sent Tang Shuai to the villa, he followed and left.

In the NBA, because players change frequently, players are more like a colleague relationship, and everyone usually does their own thing. It's rare to see someone like Paul who cares about others and can be drafted by the Clippers. It's kind of luck on his part.

After sending Paul away, a cloud of sadness slowly appeared on his face.

Before, because of the competition and the press conference, followed by a shower, he didn't look at his phone much, and when Paul called him, he looked at his phone after he got in the car, and found a lot of missed calls.

Jennifer Lawrence's, Rana Dave's, Su's, Christina's, Anna's, and even Taylor Swift's.

Until he got home, he didn't understand the situation and why all of a sudden so many women were looking for him.

As he walked towards the villa, he shouted, "I'm back." ”

After shouting, he noticed that there were several Christmas trees in the courtyard of the villa, and even the trees that were originally used for greening were full of various Christmas pendants.

There is a strong festive atmosphere in front of you.

Before he could reach the villa, he heard a "bang" of footsteps from inside.

Walking into the living room, he saw Anna coming downstairs with an excited face.

"You're back!" Anna shouted excitedly when she saw him.

"You haven't slept yet, have you?" Tang Shuai shouted this completely because of Anna's missed call, otherwise he wouldn't have shouted so late now.

"Why don't you kid look at your phone after the game, Anna is almost in a hurry." Duffy, who didn't know when he was back, came out of the room and said as he fiddled with his beloved tablet.

"Jaime, came back so early today?" Tang Shuai glanced at him suspiciously.

"It's Christmas, the office building is empty, and I'm back." Duffy said and sat down next to him.

Also, Duffy is still working in his uncle's office, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and everyone else must have gone home for Christmas.

Anna walked over to them and sat down opposite them, and said with an expectant expression, "Don, will you spend Christmas Eve at the villa tomorrow night?" ”

"Christmas Eve?" Anna asked, Tang Shuai unconsciously picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, and suddenly knew why so many people called him.

For Americans, this Christmas is a very important holiday, just like the Spring Festival, most people will choose to reunite with their families, but he is a foreigner here, destined to spend Christmas alone, and those people must want to ask him to spend Christmas together.

"Yes, I originally thought that you had no relatives here, so you should be able to live here, but I thought that you had been here for so long, and there would definitely be friends or something, so I had to confirm in advance." Anna said with a smile.

"I haven't figured this out yet, James, you're going home for Christmas, aren't you?" Tang Shuai turned his head and asked.

"If you feel lonely, I can stay with you." Duffy put down the tablet, sat up and said, he was righteous enough.

"You'd better go back." Tang Shuai couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of those phone calls.

"If you say it yourself, then you can't help it." Duffy shrugged his shoulders and leaned back into the couch.

"Anna, I'll give you an answer tomorrow, I do have a few friends who have asked me out, but I still think how to spend it, after all, this is my first Christmas." Tang Shuai said with some embarrassment.

"Huh?" Anna looked a little disappointed, but she quickly smiled and said, "Then you decided to remember to tell me." ”

"Definitely." Tang Shuai assured.

Anna yawned unconsciously at this time, she usually goes to bed early, but she is obviously sleepy from staying up so late today.

"You go to bed early, I'll talk to Jaime and go to bed." Tang Shuai followed.

"Well, you guys should go to bed early, remember to sleep a little longer, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and you have to stay up late." Anna yawned, got up and went upstairs.

"Come, I'll ask you something." Seeing Anna leaving, Tang Shuai pulled Duffy up from the sofa and pulled him to the room.

"What's the matter? It's so mysterious, slow down, be careful with my tablet. Duffy grumbled as he held his beloved tablet in one hand. (To be continued.) )
