On March 4, Li Cheng and his teammates flew to Texas on the team's charter plane, and their destination was Houston, a famous city in Texas.

When the walkers arrived in Texas' largest city that afternoon, it was drizzling in the sky.

"I hate it when it rains." Granger muttered.

Li Cheng said with a smile: "Don't complain, it's good that the rain didn't affect the landing of the plane." ”

Granger didn't greet the other teammates with his bag, and followed Li Cheng into the passage to get off the plane: "The weather forecast says that it will rain tomorrow, which is really annoying." ”

"You're not here for a tourist, is it really that heavy if it doesn't rain?" Li Cheng didn't understand why Granger cared so much about whether it would rain or not, Granger had always had this problem, he hated rainy days very much, Li Cheng didn't know how he could have this problem.

Granger pouted and finally stopped complaining about the rainy weather, "Lee, I'm going out with Troy (Murphy) and Jamal (Tinsley) tonight, are you with you?" ”

Li Cheng's heart moved, he actually wanted to join them in his heart, but he said: "Forget it, you guys go!" Have fun. ”

"You don't look like such an honest person! I told you to go in Indiana, and you go often, so why do you come out and you never go with us? Granger complained.

Li Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he didn't say it. He does want to go, but he was a dark substitute at the beginning of the season, and his mind was not too active, but he would go with him when Granger asked him to go with him, after all, Gran did not play very often. But in Indiana, where you are familiar with the terrain, there are always ways to avoid the reporters, and the local media in Indiana are reluctant to cover them.

But when playing away from home, it's different. First of all, I am not familiar with the terrain, and in other cities, I usually stay overnight and play tomorrow, and go to a nightclub to play the day before the game, which is not good for all.

"We have to settle this season and wait until next season!" Li Cheng said to himself in his heart.

Granger knew that Li Cheng's urine sex was no longer persuasive, and the two of them chatted piecemeal and walked onto the team's bus.

After a break at the hotel, everyone gathered before dinner, and O'Brien showed them a video and re-emphasized the tactics for tomorrow's game. The tactical explanation lasted only an hour, and after dinner, the players went back to their rooms. After Li Cheng asked the location of the gym, he went directly.

Li Cheng now knows very well what he wants to do, he is not an honest good boy, but he knows very well what he should and should not do at the moment. At present, the most important thing he should do is to seize every bit of time and make himself stronger.

As for enjoying the life of an NBA player millionaire, that will have to wait until the first qiē is stable.

Li Cheng soaked in the gym for two hours, and when he returned to the room, Granger and the others were already out. Li Cheng was already mentally prepared for this, and after taking a shower, he took out the computer he carried with him and prepared to go online for a pastime.

The computer screen had just jumped to the classic boot interface of Windows, but the mobile phone that Li Cheng put aside rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it turned out to be Yao Ming's phone, "Hey, Brother Yao, want to invite me to supper?" ”

"You kid, your skin is getting thicker!"

"Haha! Is there anything wrong with Brother Yao? ”

"I'm at the door of your hotel, come out! Go to my place for some supper. ”

"Brother Yao also came to pick me up in person, I have such a big face, haha. I'm out. Li Cheng said with a grin, and after hanging up the phone, he quickly walked out of the hotel gate, and Yao Ming's custom-made BMW 745 was parked in front of him.

Li Cheng recognized Yao Ming's car at a glance, walked over and opened the co-pilot's door.

"It's not far from Yao's restaurant, let's go over and have a bite to eat, let's talk by the way!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Chengdao.

Yao Ming steadily drove the car onto the road and drove in the direction of Yao's restaurant.

Li Cheng and Yao Ming didn't know each other before, but when they visited Indiana in Houston last time, Yao Ming and the fellow from Shanghai, China, quickly became acquainted.

Last time, when Yao Ming left Indiana, he said that he would invite Li Cheng to dinner in Houston, and Li Cheng was embarrassed to call Yao Ming when he arrived in Houston today. But apparently Yao Ming remembers this, usually in away team games, there are training sessions with tactical explanations before and after dinner. So Yao Ming chose a more suitable time to ask Li Cheng to come out.

Soon, Li Chengcheng saw the signboard of Yao's restaurant. There is a big "YAO" at the door and "

restaurantandbar", next to a traditional script "Yao".

After Yao Ming parked the car, he quickly led Li Cheng into the restaurant with his own name. Although Yao Ming has been emphasizing in front of the media that the "Yao" of Yao's restaurant is not his Yao, but his father's "Yao". But most of the people who came here came for Yao Ming's fame.

Yao Restaurant is divided into two halls, the one on the left is mainly used for dining, and the one on the right is more like a bar. The bar has a strong basketball smell in the lobby, and there are two NBA-sized rebounds above the bar. On each of the two rebounding baskets was a basketball with Yao11 written on it, representing the No. 11 jersey worn by Yao Ming for the Rockets.

In the center of the restaurant is a display case with some signed basketballs and sneakers of Rockets players, as well as photos of Yao Ming with some celebrities.

"We'll take a picture later, haha." Yao Ming put his arm around Li Cheng's shoulder.

Li Cheng nodded and said, "My photo can be put in, it means that I am also a celebrity?" ”

"Do you think you're a celebrity now? In China, your fame may have surpassed mine! Yao Ming patted Li Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, this is my private reserved box." ”

Yao Ming took Li Cheng to the private box he had reserved in Yao's restaurant, where the chairs were all larger than the ones outside, obviously specially customized for the basketball player's tall figure.

The two of them came to a small table and sat down, Yao Ming took the menu, and asked, "What do you want to eat, what you want to drink, whatever you want." ”

"Make two portions of this 'Yao Mama Wonton', one of this chicken stewed mushrooms, and one of this roast duck!" Li Cheng was not polite at all when he took the menu, and ordered a lot of famous Chinese dishes.

Yao Ming motioned to the waiter next to him to follow the order.

Just as they were drinking tea and chatting, the dishes came up. Li Cheng looked at a table of dishes, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "Looking at so many hometown dishes, I unconsciously ordered so many." ”

"It's okay, you eat more." Yao Ming said with a smile: "Eat more, it's best to eat a digestive ** or something, it's best if you can't play tomorrow." ”

"I ......" Li Cheng almost didn't hold the duck leg in his left hand, "It's impossible, my stomach is fine!" He munched on the duck leg and said indistinctly.
