Chapter 29: Rewards
In the dark night, a bright moon hung obliquely in the sky, as bright as a silver plate. On the road from the airport to the city, there are only a few sports cars speeding past the road.
The NBA players who seem to be glamorous are actually very monotonous and boring.
At least 82 games a season, tedious training, long trips to the road, games that last late into the night, and a lot of mental stress. All of this will cause great pain to these rich people.
Russell would often vomit in the locker room before a game, wondering if he was disgusted with the game. And Larry Bird has also said that he hates simple games very much, sometimes very simple balls, and he may not choose to shoot, but choose to pass.
For NBA stars, every time they finish a game, the whole city is closed, and all that awaits them is those glittering nightclubs and prostitutes who scratch their heads.
Li Cheng and the others were playing in a bar called "Flaming Red Rose", and they were sitting on the couch admiring the hot girls who were pole dancing.
Li Chengzheng was drinking with a woman in his arms, and his teammates were basically one of them.
After three rounds of drinking, some people left the scene one after another with the women around them, and what they went to do is self-evident.
Li Cheng is no stranger to this kind of life, when he was in China, he was a frequent visitor to Hengshan Road (Shanghai Bar Street), and although he restrained himself after arriving in the United States, he was no stranger to American nightclubs at all.
After Granger pulled a chocolate-skinned woman away, Li Cheng also took the woman next to him away. He had never rejected such a life, and he had never followed Gran Distinguished for entertainment before, mainly because he didn't have that mind. At that time, he was still a dark little substitute, and he might be kicked out of the NBA at any time, how could he have the heart to come out to find a woman for entertainment!
Now, through his own efforts and God's favor, he has come out of that dark life, and it is necessary to have some entertainment and relaxation. Otherwise, if you hold back something, maybe it will affect the game!
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Li Chengcheng checked out and went home. He left early, mainly because he didn't want to be met by reporters, otherwise the group of reporters would be annoyed.
……
Not long after Li Cheng arrived home, Granger also returned. He saw Li Chengzheng sitting on the sofa holding a cigarette, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Li, you really don't take smoking as a habit." ”
"This stuff is going to have a very big impact on your career, you used to say you're in a bad mood, I understand you. Now that the road ahead of you has been slowly paved, you won't be in a bad mood now! There was a sternness in Granger's concerned voice.
Li Cheng paused for a moment, as if thinking. After a while, he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and said casually: "If you don't smoke, you won't smoke." ”
Granger smiled and walked over to Li Cheng and sat down, "This thing can't be used as a habit, but maybe it can be used as a ritual in the future!" ”
Li Cheng didn't care what Granger was saying, he threw the pack of cigarettes on the coffee table into the trash, and said, "It's almost time, it's time to train." ”
Although he entertained all night yesterday, Li Cheng still completed the training task meticulously today. The others were more or less affected, but only Li Cheng was not affected at all.
At the end of the day's training, Li Cheng and Granger returned home and went back to their rooms early to get ready for bed. The day before a game day, NBA players generally choose to get a good night's sleep in order to stay in good shape.
Lying on the bed, Li Cheng summoned the light curtain of the "Top of the Basketball System" in his mind. As in the previous games, the first thing that appears after the match is the experience-increasing light screen interface. This time, the experience value of the experience gauge actually started a wild surge, and when he reached level 7, the experience value increased by more than half before stopping.
After exiting from this interface, a light curtain interface that Li Cheng had never seen before appeared.
"Burst Bonus: In this match, players who perform abilities that greatly exceed their abilities will gain additional experience points and be rewarded with 10 gold. Note: More features will be enabled after level 10. ”
After looking at the attributes of the perfect body again, he found that all the attributes had increased to 27, and then the system did not change, and Li Cheng had no choice but to give up.
However, the interface just now prompted that new functions will be opened after level 10, which made Li Cheng have some expectations. The more functions of the "Top of the Basketball System", the more powerful it will be. He can't wait for the "Top of the Basketball System" to launch an invincible mode that will allow him to be invincible in the NBA directly. It's a pity that even God won't allow such an "invincible mode" to exist, and Li Cheng can only dream of such an "invincible mode".
In the morning, after Li Cheng finished his morning exercise, he received a call from Larry Bird.
"Good morning, Mr. 50." Larry Bird's hearty voice came over the phone.
Li Cheng put down the milk cup in his hand, walked to the balcony, and said, "Sir, don't make fun of me, what's the matter?" ”
"Young man, don't be so strict, I have good news for you." After a pause, Bird continued: "The team has prepared an apartment for you, not far from Granger, as long as you have a contract with the team, that apartment will always belong to you. ”
Li Cheng's somewhat nervous heart finally let go, "Thank you, sir." ”
"You should have been notified of these things, but who made you lose an agent now! I can only come to bother you. I said you need to get an agent quickly, we still have to negotiate a contract in the summer! ”
"Mr. Bird, you don't have to worry, I will never delay the contract negotiation with the team."
"That's fine, I won't bother you."
Hanging up the phone with Bird, Li Cheng returned to the dining room to continue breakfast, Granger looked at Li Cheng suspiciously, and asked, "What is Mr. Bird looking for you?" ”
In a ruthless business like the NBA, receiving a call from the team's general manager will inevitably make people have some not-so-good associations.
"It's nothing, they found me an apartment, not far from here." Li Cheng said casually.
"It seems that the team takes you very seriously, Mr. 50 points!" Granger pondered for a while, then said with some frustration, "I'm going to find a time to help you move these days." ”
Li Cheng saw Granger's mood and said, "Anyway, I don't have time to move in the next few days, and it will take a while!" ”
Granger didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, "This kind of trivial matter is supposed to be handled by agents, and it seems that you have to find an agent as much as possible." ”
"Let's talk about it this summer!"
"Your previous agent gave you an ad for 'Viagra'?"
"Yes! Didn't I tell you? ”
Granger looked at Li Cheng's face and said seriously: "Actually, your agent is really right, your face is indeed quite suitable for playing impotence." ”
"you." Li Cheng scolded with a smile.
