Chapter Ninety-Eight: [I Hope]

In the evening, the two went to the tulip restaurant together.

"Signature Australian beef tenderloin, Massimo's egg pie, vegetable toast roll, matcha cheesecake." Wang Jun ordered four of Abby's favorite dishes before handing her the menu.

"You remember what I like to eat." Abby said approvingly, and also ordered Wang Jun's favorite dish. "Another Zuo Zongtang chicken."

Zuo Zongtang chicken is made by removing the bones of the chicken thighs and cutting them into cubes, deep-fried chicken pieces and draining them, and then flavoring them with chili, chicken nuggets, soy sauce, vinegar, and Western-style sweet sauce. It tastes great and is the fourth most popular dish in the United States all year round, and it is also a specialty of this restaurant.

Wang Jun liked it very much, but he always doubted the origin of the name of the dish. Zuo Zongtang PK with the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom every day, how can he have time to cook and invent dishes? He had never heard of this dish before he went abroad.

"You're amazing, you won the Big Ten Conference championship in your first season, which is better than I could have imagined."

"You're also very good, you're not even 20 years old, and you're about to sign with ESPN."

After the rugby team, the two did not have a sense of alienation that they hadn't seen for a long time, and they had nothing to talk about.

Abby did an excellent job as an intern at ESPN's Utah branch.

She has good professional knowledge, a good voice, a good image, a good figure, and is very photogenic, which makes it almost impossible to find fault. The writing after the interview is also outstanding.

She stayed for four months, and the hostess of the branch felt a lot of pressure, and said sourly: "If she comes, I will almost lose my job." ”

Not surprisingly, Abby will soon receive a contract from ESPN and be officially hired. At present, the headquarters is studying what position is suitable for her.

Abby asked, "Did you get your driver's license?" ”

"Well, I don't plan to buy a car for the time being, and I don't know which city I'll go to in July." Wang Jun replied.

Ann Arbor doesn't have an NBA team, so buying a car here is not convenient for Detroit unless you join the Pistons, and other cities are not convenient.

Joined the Western team, do you want to fly the car over? That's enough to buy another one.

Abby smiled and asked, "I heard that there are many beautiful women chasing you in school, do you have any to talk about?" ”

"Compared to you, how can there be beautiful women in the school?"

Poof. Abby laughed.

She often laughs, and Wang Jun thinks it is very good-looking every time.

"I haven't seen you for four months, you've become flamboyant, with Charlie?" Abby asked with a smile.

"Uh......" Wang Jun sweated wildly, it was really Theron taught.

He used to think that this way of speaking bordered on teasing, and Theron told him that American girls like to be complimented. I like to hear things like "you're spicy, beautiful, and attractive."

Abby has heard a lot of this kind of praise, but when Wang Jun said this, she thought it was funny.

"Charlie is coming home?" Abby asked again.

"I've been gone a long time ago, I don't know if I'm going home, she said she lives in Los Angeles." Wang Jun sighed softly. He hadn't been in touch with Theron in three months, hadn't even sent a text message, and felt a little guilty.

Theron cared about his thoughts, and apologized many times despite being proud, as if humbled to the dust after the Da Ma incident. This seems to be explained only by liking, which makes Wang Jun very stressed.

It's not scary to like someone, it's scary to get used to a person.

Just like he's used to Karman, who often talks to the point of being flat, but because of basketball, they're the best buddies.

He's also used to being friends with Theron, but he doesn't know if he should continue. She's too mysterious, maybe she doesn't just want to be friends.

So Wang Jun was conflicted, twisted, and didn't want to mention this topic at all. Maybe as long as it's not in the same city, the relationship will naturally fade after a long time.

What he cares about most now is how to be in the same city as Abby.

Wang Jun was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke: "Abby, I have something I want to trouble you...... No, I should say trouble your dad. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Jeff...... Is it possible...... What about recommending me to the Jazz? Wang Jun spoke intermittently, he was very nervous, for fear that Abby would refuse.

Abby was stunned for a moment, lowering her head and losing her mind.

"Questions? If it's inconvenient to ......," Wang Jun didn't want to embarrass Abby.

Abby suddenly looked up, looked at him, and sighed, "My dad has already asked about the Jazz's reinforcement plan......"

Abby explained to him the Jazz situation and wanted to draft a power forward and point guard.

Wang Jun's heart was cold after hearing this, he is not a big forward, he doesn't have to think about changing to a point guard, unless he finds two interior lines who can shoot and play blocking and dismantling with him, otherwise there may not be an assist in the whole game, and it is good if the pass is not wrong.

Every night before going to bed, he fantasized about joining the Jazz and playing blocking and dismantling offense under Sloan, and now he suddenly has no direction.

He was tempted to ask Abby. Will she be in Salt Lake City? Will you go to other cities?

But he couldn't open his mouth.

Abby's parents are both in Salt Lake City, so what's the reason to go elsewhere?

The two were silent for a while, Abby looked at Wang Jun three times and twice, stopped talking, and finally reached out from under the table, kicked his toes, and whispered, "Wang, do you want to join the Jazz so much?" ”

As soon as Wang Jun looked up, he saw Abby puffing out her cheeks, blushing slightly, and actually showing an embarrassed look.

He nodded vigorously.

If it weren't for you, who would want to join a bad team like the Jazz.

Abby glanced at him with a pair of apricot eyes, but the corners of her mouth still couldn't hold back, revealing a hint of a smile.

There were two dimples on her face that seemed to flash without a flash, Wang Jun just looked at her, and felt very sweet, sweet in his heart, and his mood suddenly improved.

He read something from Abby's eyes, and she had hoped to be in the same city.

Abby took a bite of the beef tenderloin, thought for a moment, and said, "King, what you have to do now is to play well in the tournament and strive for every victory." The more you win, the more people will pay attention to you, and the more likely you are to get a big contract. Don't you want to be drafted in the first round? ”

"Of course."

"Then go for it."

"Well, maybe because I'm playing well, Sloan will turn around and choose a shooting guard." Wang Jun thought about it and asked with a smile: "Abby, how is life in Salt Lake City?" ”

"How so?" Abby thought for a moment. "Good air, lots of entertainment, camping, surfing, speedboating on the lake, sunbathing. The security is also very good, and you don't have to worry about walking out into the street after dark. There are also many kinds of food, including Chinese food and Korean food. ”

It seems that she likes Salt Lake City very much, and it is not easy to go.

Wang Jun asked again: "Is there anything bad about that?" ”

Abby whispered: "If it's not good, it's that it's too close to the casino, and it's only a few hours by car, and there are some bad gamblers in the city." However, Salt Lake City is the safest city in the United States with the lowest crime rate and the lowest divorce rate. ”

She paused and diverted the topic, not wanting Wang Jun to focus on Salt Lake City.

"Tell me about you, I'm not here, what's the fun? Is there any news on the forum that I don't know about, other than basketball? ”

"I'm practicing all day when you're not here, and you don't notice that I'm thin again? News, you know the time you went to the playground, the rest is gone, maybe there will be news tonight. ”

"Well, a lot of people have seen you play rugby."
