Chapter 20: Meet Nash
Liu Ming called Nash to his family's Sichuan restaurant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFirst, Liu Ming feels at ease talking here, secondly, Liu Ming also wants to increase the popularity of his restaurant (although Nash's popularity is a little stronger than himself now), and thirdly, Liu Ming also wants to show off his father's level of cooking.
Nash came very punctually, driving a car that Liu Ming's later generations had eliminated, Nash was dressed very formally, with a suit and leather shoes, and the inch-headed Nash looked very honest and honest.
"Hey! Bruce"
"Hello, Steve"
"Steve welcomes you to our house, this is my dad's restaurant, let you taste the delicious Chinese food today"
"Well, the nutritious meals these days are terrible," Nash said with some excitement. What Nash eats these days is to hire a nutritionist to customize three meals a day for him. It's all salad fruits, chicken, and fish, plus some undercooked vegetables, even for the disciplined NBA players. Nash's recipe can be regarded as a real "dark cuisine".
(In fact, most NBA players, especially on the road, solve the problem of takeout, and burgers, Coke, and grilled chicken wings are their favorites.) And they don't eat fast food that they choose out of desperation, but from snacks to big, they are completely obsessed. Just like "Rose" Derek Rose, although he has been cared for by his mother and brother at home since he was a child, his favorite restaurant is a small burger restaurant not far from home, which is actually similar to our multigrain pancakes (egg scones))
"It's been a long time since I've eaten such a delicious meal, this is fish-flavored shredded pork, it's delicious," Nash couldn't help but sigh.
Then the two talked a lot about the uncomfortable places in the NBA, and some people looked down on them, and there were always people who saw Nash soft eggs. However, Nash also knows that there is no reason to gag them now, and can only hope that he will perform well and prove that he can beat the opponent without defense.
Liu Ming also said some of the difficulties he had just joined the alliance and despised them.
Both are international players and have said a little bit about the national team.
In the end, the two encouraged each other. Liu Ming said to Nash: "I.think.no.matter.where.you.are,the.people.who.are.not.opentodistinguish.color,but.the.talent.and.the.sweat.you.flowing."
("I think everywhere, it's not the color of your skin that separates you from each other, it's your talent and the sweat you've shed.") ”)
Good fences make good neighbors. Although Liu Ming doesn't think of himself as a gentleman, Liu Ming feels that Nash can be said to be a gentleman, and today he didn't "eat meat and drink wine", but tried his father's craftsmanship in his own restaurant, chatting and talking. Liu Ming felt that his pressure had been released for a while recently, and Liu Ming felt that he could make good friends with Nash in the future.
Nash also felt that the depressed mood in his chest after chatting with Liu Ming today was released, and Nash felt that Liu Ming's last sentence was very right, which was great. "It's never the color of the skin that separates people from them, it's the talent and the sweat that has passed."
That is, a few days later, Nash made his first start in the game between the Suns and the Grizzlies, scoring 17 points, 12 assists and 7 rebounds.
On the night of the 11th, at the Union Center, the Chicago team hosted the Phoenix Suns from afar, and in this game, the Suns were suppressed by the whole court. When it came to the fourth quarter, it became "garbage time", and Liu Ming finally waited for the opportunity to play again, Jordan and Hubble didn't play much tonight. So Liu Ming's opportunity came, Liu Ming constantly relied on running, blocking, and covering to avoid defenders, scoring 20 points in the game, and Nash scored 9 points and 6 assists.
After the game, Liu Ming and Nash changed their jerseys, talked for a while, and finally with Nash's envious eyes, Liu Ming walked into the locker room, but in the locker room Liu Ming saw the "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.
"Bruce, we're going to work tonight," Phil Jackson said.
Liu Ming couldn't believe that he would have such an opportunity so soon, and under Cole's gaze, Liu Ming left the locker room.
When it came to the press conference, the flash "snapped", although most of it was aimed at Jordan and Phil Jackson. Of course, there are also shots aimed at Liu Ming. That's Su Qun's lens.
Looking at a reporter in New York, he asked, "Mr. Bruce, what made you go from a No. 29 rookie that everyone didn't like to score 20 points today, better than some of the people who came before you?" ”
Liu Mingjue's question is a bit too official and not nutritious. This question is extremely easy for Liu Ming.
"I just keep training and keep training until I'm satisfied. If something doesn't feel right, I'll stay there and train until I get it right. I just kept motivating myself, kept motivating myself. It's something I know a lot about myself, and it's something that my parents taught me. If you're going to focus on something, if you're going to want to do something, you can't give up halfway, you have to put all your energy into getting that done, trying to do it perfectly. That's the only way things can be resolved. The hard work has finally paid off. If you don't succeed at first, don't be discouraged and move forward bravely, and you will eventually see the rain and the sky clear. Don't worry about whether your effort is proportional to your return, the early bird will definitely have something to eat. Liu Ming finished this very infectious sentence with great passion.
The reporters in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then they all began to applaud, and the Bulls spokesman nodded secretly, sure enough, Liu Ming's speech before the opening of the new season was not plagiarized. Liu is really a person with high emotional intelligence.
After asking the question, the New York reporter asked a few more about Liu Ming's usual training, and also asked Jordan what he thought of Liu Ming. Jordan certainly had some good things to say.
"Bruce is talented, he's trained hard, keep going, and I'm sure Bruce will be one of the best rookies in this class."
In fact, this passage is an official passage, and Liu Ming's later Kobe Bryant probably said the same thing when he commented on Sun Yue.
However, Liu Ming felt a little strange, these New York reporters always seemed to want to let him talk about his training, much like asking himself to express that he was training hard. Liu Ming faintly felt that they were guiding themselves in this direction. However, although Liu Ming felt very strange, he could also sense that these people did not have any ill will towards him.
The "Olympic Tower" building at 645 Fifth Avenue, New York.
David Stern asked, "Did the people sent go?" ”
"President, the reporter sent has already gone, can we develop the Chinese market?" Adam Shaw asked.
"As long as Bruce Liu continues to play like this, it's not a problem."
"I hope this Bruce can fight for some anger and not live up to the president's trust in him," Xiao Hua said silently in his heart.
PS: Alas, 520, it has nothing to do with myself, I hope book friends can have a good night tonight.
