Monty watched the game, just between an offense and a defense, he had completely determined the starting lineup for this season, Wang Meng Gasol and Okafor are sure, the salaries of the three of them are more than 10 million, and the strength is not to say, although the small forward Ariza is a little poor offensively, but the defensive ability is okay, the starting problem should not be big, and Belinelli should also be the starter, and the position of scoring guard has always been one of the weaknesses of the Hornets.

This intra-team match was just a game for Monty to check the status of the players, and the grouping was very unbalanced, and the strong players were all assigned together, so the game was nothing to watch, it was completely one-sided.

After the match, Monty called Wang Meng and Gasol together.

"It's a bit inappropriate for the two of you to train as soon as you arrive, but due to the shutdown, we really don't have much time, otherwise we should at least let you get used to this city first." Monty said slightly apologetically: "You must not have even found a place to live, I know a person who specializes in this, you can find him to solve the housing problem." ”

Gasol shook his head, "I'm going to buy a house here, and I appreciate your kindness, coach." ”

Gasol is rich and rich, and a house is naturally not in his eyes, but Wang Meng is different.

"Is it for rent? If it's close to the stadium, I can think about it. Wang Meng said.

"Okay, I'll take you to see the house today, the rent is definitely not high, and the environment is very good." Monty smiled, as a rookie coach, he is not as rigid as most coaches, but very kind. "By the way, you two should know that we will play with you two as the main players this season, do you have any thoughts on the roster?"

"If I have any opinions, I think the shooting guard position seems a little weak." Gasol thought for a moment and said that he was used to playing with Kobe, and when he suddenly played in the Hornets, he immediately felt the gap between the scoring guards.

"Yes, the attacking ability to carry the ball in the defender position is weak, so it's hard to work with me and the pressure on me is a lot more." Wang Meng echoed, "Other words are okay, but there is a lack of a suitable sixth person." In fact, except for him and Gasol, he is not very satisfied with every position, but he must always be self-aware, Wang Meng knows that even if he says it, it will be difficult for the Hornets to exchange all three positions of the starters, so it is better not to say it.

Monty nodded, "I'll think about the following, the general manager has talked to me, there will be a deal in the near future, it's just a relatively small deal, to improve the current squad, do you know what our mission is this season?" To get into the playoffs, just get into the playoffs and prove that we're as strong as we are without Paul. ”

Wang Meng and Gasol glanced at each other, both of them smiled bitterly, the championship members, the only goal of this season is only to enter the playoffs.

After talking to Monty, Wang Meng had a fairly hearty lunch in the team's cafeteria, and then it was time to run around for where he lived.

As for the place to live, Wang Meng's requirements are actually very troublesome, he doesn't like those noisy places very much, and he doesn't like to be too far away from the stadium, which is too troublesome, so the scope of his rental house is reduced a lot.

The person introduced by Coach Monty said that the house is not suitable for Wang Meng at all, although the price is really okay and the environment is good, but it is too far away from the stadium, Wang Meng doesn't like it very much, Wang Meng has to politely refuse and continue to look for a house by himself.

After an afternoon, Wang Meng was disappointed to find that he really couldn't find a suitable place to rent.

"Do you want to rent that house? It's too far away, so you still need to buy a car, it's too troublesome. "Wang Meng likes to get up in the morning and run to the stadium in the morning, which is what he did every day when he was in Los Angeles, and maybe not anymore, it really proves that some things will always change.

"Jingle bell," Wang Meng's mobile phone rang at this time, and Wang Meng picked it up and saw that it was Taylor's.

Since Wang Meng rejected Taylor, it is not a refusal, but he has not thought about it, Taylor has never contacted Wang Meng again, even after Wang Meng was traded, Taylor just sent a text message to comfort him, and now what does it mean to call him suddenly?

Wang Meng hesitated, but still picked up the phone, "Taylor? ”

"Well, it's me, you're supposed to be in New Orleans, how do you feel?" Taylor's voice came, and it was still as beautiful as that.

"It's average, but I don't have a choice, so I can only be forced to accept it." Wang Meng smiled bitterly and said.

"Really?" Taylor was silent for a moment, "Have you found a place where you live?" ”

Wang Meng shook his head, "No, I want to be closer to the stadium, but those places are too messy and expensive." The environment is a little better, but it's too far away from the stadium, which is really troublesome. ”

"That's right." Taylor said: "I have a house in New Orleans, not far from the New Orleans arena, a maximum of 20 minutes walk, I don't go there all year round, why don't you go to live with me." ”

"It's not going to work." Wang Meng didn't want to think about it, and directly refused.

"Why? Are you still afraid that I will take advantage of you? It's said that I'm not there, and you're alone in the house, what's there? Taylor said dissatisfiedly: "That's it, the address is xxx, I'll call the contact person to wait for you there." After speaking, he hung up without waiting for Wang Meng to say anything.

Wang Meng listened to the busy tone on the phone and smiled bitterly, "What is this called?" It's as if I'm a soft eater, and I want to live in a woman's house. ”

Not to mention, Wang Meng really has some machismo, he always feels that it is shameless to live in someone else's house like this.

But thinking about it, there is really no house that he can be satisfied with, Wang Meng has no choice but to go to the place Taylor said, think about it anyway, Taylor doesn't go there, and people say that in that part, if he doesn't go, it really seems a little ignorant, doesn't he?

The New Orleans Arena is located in the center of the city, where to have a house is really not easy, Taylor said that the place is a set of elevator buildings, don't think about getting a villa here, it is basically impossible, but in Wang Meng's view, this elevator building and villa are not much different, the whole room is divided into two floors, each floor has an area of more than 200 square meters, which is not much different for Wang Meng, who is used to living in a small room of less than 100 square meters in Shanghai elevator building, of course, it is not that there is no big room in Shanghai, It's just that Wang Meng can't afford to live.

The man Taylor said was waiting for him at the house, and after explaining the layout of the entire room to Wang Meng, he handed him the room key.

"Thanks, are you a friend of Taylor?" Wang Meng asked casually.

"Taylor? What Taylor? The man looked very confused, of course, there are many people who call Taylor in the United States, not to say that Swift didn't react.

"Isn't Taylor the owner of this house?" Wang Meng asked strangely.

The man shook his head, "I don't know, this house was only bought in the past two days, the person who bought the house is very mysterious, I'm just a small employee, I don't know whose house it is, but I know that this house is yours now." ”

Wang Meng was stunned.

The man didn't care about Wang Meng and left the room.

"Your sister, did you end up with a little white face?"
