161 Elena's Love
The next time, at four o'clock in the morning, there was no need to alarm at all, and Wen Hao had already turned over and got out of bed. His biological clock allows him to wake up naturally at 4 a.m. every day.
With the heart of a point guard in his body, the essentials of last night's games and training have been swept away after a few hours of deep sleep. He casually rummaged through the fridge and ate it. He's not a superstar like Kobe Bryant right now, and he has a nutritionist who customizes three meals for him.
After eating, he walked towards the Toyota Center and began his training day.
He's been training a lot more now, and in addition to the physical training that he should have, he's also working on his dribbling skills, two-point and three-point work. The training volume was so great that he was a little overwhelmed and couldn't finish it. But he still gritted his teeth and persevered. In the training hall, he is often the first to come and the last to go.
In the training hall today, in addition to Wen Hao, Da Yao and Jeremy Lin, the next one to arrive is not Parsons, but Jones. He hit the last night and was so excited that he barely slept all night, and came to the training gym early this morning.
When he entered the training hall, he came directly to Wen Hao, who was practicing three points, and laughed as soon as he opened his mouth: "Wen, you are early!" ”
"Well, you're not too late." Wen Hao said.
"Thank you so much last night, if it wasn't for the ball you passed after you attracted the bag, I wouldn't have had my last night's kill." Obviously, because Wen Hao assisted Jones to hit the stunner, Jones became a lot closer to Wen Hao.
"Nothing, everybody wants to make the right choice." Wen Hao didn't have the arrogance he used to have, he just smiled faintly.
"Chinese, modesty is a good thing, but too much modesty becomes hypocrisy."
……
Other Rocket players came one after another at this time, and they saw Jones, who contributed to the stunner last night, chatting with Wen Hao hotly, and they all gathered around to congratulate Jones.
But when Harden arrived, he didn't say hello to the players around him, looked gloomy, and began his own practice.
Seeing the boss like this, everyone in the rocket also dispersed to conduct their own training. Only Jones and Howard were still laughing happily beside Wen Hao.
Da Yao shook his head secretly, gave Wen Hao a self-conscious look, and started his own training.
Wen Hao didn't seem to care about any of this, and he continued his unfinished three-point training.
Meanwhile, at the Owl Restaurant in Houston, Elena is staring out the door with her chin in her hands.
Suddenly, a nearby hand reached over and shook it in front of her eyes.
Elena didn't seem to see it at all, and continued to look out the door in a daze.
"Another nymphomaniac?" A voice next to him shouted. The hand shook in front of Elena's eyes again.
Elena came back to her senses, knocked off the hand in front of her, glanced at the girl next to her, and scolded: "You are a nymphomaniac." ”
"Tell me honestly, are you thinking about Wen Hao again?"
Elena didn't squirm either: "Nonsense, who else but him?" ”
The girl next to her sat next to Elena with a smile and said with a smile, "What's the use of just thinking about it?" I've said it a hundred times, you have to take the initiative to fight for it, Wen Hao is getting more and more popular now, and there will be more and more beauties around him. Don't think you're just waiting for someone to chase you if you're pretty. You know, there are more girls in this world who are more beautiful than you and more active than you. ”
The male chef next to him heard it and exclaimed, "Why didn't I touch it?" ”
"Nonsense, I'm talking about Wen Hao, as for you, those beautiful girls can't hide."
The male chef made an aggrieved expression: "Am I that bad?" ”
"Anyway, it's far worse than Wen Hao." The girl ignored the male chef and said to Elena, "Are you right? ”
Elena smiled sweetly and nodded, "Hmm." ”
The girl saw Elena's smirk and shook her head helplessly: "Since Wen Hao is so good, why don't you chase after it?" You know, after this village, there will be no such shop. ”
Elena raised her head, as if she understood a little, but then shook her head again: "I wanted to ask him out for dinner several times, but he was either training, or he didn't have time, and I didn't ...... at all."
"How about a dinner invitation? You have to be more proactive, you have to let him know that you like him and can do a lot for him, so that he can be touched. The girl spoke with her head in her head, as if she were a saint in love.
"But I don't think he has time to fall in love, it's not training, it's just playing, he's so focused on basketball that he doesn't have time to do anything else."
"Ouch my eldest lady, time is like a woman's cleavage, there will always be a squeeze. By the way, didn't you say that after his next game, the Rockets will have four days off, and at that time, Wen Hao is going to participate in a game held by Nike, I will help you ask for leave, and you go with him. The girl volunteered.
"Huh?" Elena's eyes lit up, "Is that okay?" ”
"If you can't do it, at least give it a try, it's always possible to succeed if you try, but if you don't try, you're killing your chances of success."
Elena thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll try." ”
……
After a while, the second matchup between the Rockets and the Nuggets this season was played at the Toyota Center.
In this game, due to Harden's excellent performance, Wen Hao's playing time was compressed a lot, and he only played twelve minutes. But in those 12 minutes, he contributed 11 points, 5 assists and 2 steals. Even the commentary on the sidelines bluntly said: Wen Hao is a waste of talent in the Rocket team, if it is not for the Rocket team, if he changes to any other team, Wen Hao can be brilliant.
Scouts from at least three teams also came to the Toyota Center for this game. Wen Hao's recent games, although the playing time is somewhat uncertain, but even if it is a minute, he will definitely have a brilliant performance. The average player has ups and downs over the course of a season, but he seems to be in full form every night. With Wen Hao's state, no matter which team he puts on, he is an absolute starting point guard. This made these teams start to pay attention to Wen Haolai. If possible, they will dig Wen Hao as far as they can.
In particular, those teams that are short on staff at the No. 1 position, such as the Lakers, have already begun to plan a trade for Wen Hao. Of course, this is subject to Morey's consent.
As for Wen Hao himself, of course he wants to stay on Team Rocket. But after nearly two years in the NBA, especially after being cut by 11 teams, he clearly knows that the NBA is a business, an extremely cruel business, and it is not subject to the will of the players. Except, of course, superstars.
Except for superstars, those ordinary players sometimes don't even have a say at all. It's possible that you're on your way to the training gym when your girlfriend suddenly calls and says she saw on TV that you were being traded; It's possible that you've already gone to the court, you've already started your pre-match warm-up, and suddenly the staff tells you you've been traded...... And so on and so forth. Since you are in the NBA, you have to adapt to these.
Wen Hao, who knows all this very well, what he has to do now is to work hard to improve his level and make himself perform better on the field. In this way, the rocket has to consider even if it wants to trade itself. And other teams want to poach themselves, and they have to pay a big price, at least next season's salary will not be less than this season.
……
After this game, the Rockets have won all four games this week, averaging the most points in the league in four games. And because of Wen Hao's sudden rise, especially his strong performance in the Christmas game, his strength to compete with Ke, and his performance of more than 40 points in a single game, he was named the best player in the West this week.
The Chinese media have touted Wen Hao, the only Chinese other than Da Yao. Blowing Wen Hao almost transcendental, as if he was about to enter the Hall of Fame.
Naturally, the American media is not as fanatical as the Chinese media. They all have an objective attitude towards Wen Hao's strong rise this week, saying that although Wen Hao has no physical fitness, his imagination and creativity, as well as his control of the situation, can make him an All-Star player. This is the first time that the American media has acknowledged the ability of the Chinese player with average physical fitness. This is very important to Wen Hao.
The news that Wen Hao won the best in the West this week came out, and everyone on the Rockets was happy. As a substitute player who has just moved from a short contract, it is an absolute honour to receive the title of Week of the Week. When those reporters interviewed the Rocket players, the Rockets players all praised Wen Hao. Although they didn't dare to praise Wen Hao because of Harden's face, they could still do it if Wen Hao was an excellent player.
Howard and Jones, in particular, praised Wen Hao even more. In Howard's heart, he didn't think Harden was the boss, so he didn't care what Harden thought; And Jones is because Wen Hao has achieved his lore, so he has been close to Wen Hao these days.
As for Wen Hao himself, when he saw that he had won the best news in Western Zhou, he was naturally very happy. Although he seems a little indifferent, he is not a saint, and he can't do it to the extent that he doesn't like things and doesn't feel sorry for himself.
At this time, he received a phone call, looked carefully, and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button.
"Wen Hao, congratulations on winning the best player in the West."
The voice on the other end of the line looked excited.
"Oh, it's Elena?" Wen Hao heard the voice and was a little puzzled, how could Elena know her number.
"Of course it's me, Wen Hao, I'm really happy for you."
"Thank you."
Elena's voice was still a little excited: "Wen Hao, I also heard that you are going to participate in a game tomorrow in the basketball mecca Rock Park, and I specially asked for leave to watch your game." ”
"......" Wen Hao was a little surprised.
"Why, don't you want to?" Elena's voice was slightly disappointed.
"Oh, yes." Wen Hao thought for a while and said.
