Chapter 126: Bloodshed caused by popcorn
Chamberlain stood at San Francisco International Airport, watching the planes flying away, and he was silent for a long time.
Shirley and Li Qun were by his side, and the latter grabbed his arm and said softly: "Go back, Lao Zhang, it's useless for us to stay here, let's bless Doug, I wish him all the best in Iraq, don't worry too much." ā
Chamberlain stubbornly shook his head and said, "The plane hasn't flown above the clouds yet, if Doug looks down from the plane, he can see me." ā
Li Qun sighed helplessly, she tried to persuade Chamberlain, and said: "What Doug has done is the greatest thing for mankind, and what he has revealed is the most glorious side of human nature, and we should be happy for him, not worry in vain, right?" ā
Chamberlain smiled bitterly and muttered, "That's Iraq, that's the most dangerous place in the world right now." Why is he so stubborn, why does he have to go there to take risks? ā
Li Qun had the answer in her heart, she believed that Chamberlain could also vaguely guess Sudmons's purpose, but she didn't say it, some things can't be said.
All along, Chamberlain simply thought that Sudmons would participate in N. Gā¦ā¦ The anti-war group was just out of curiosity, and he was just passing the time with parades and gatherings. But now he realizes that he was wrong, and he was wrong, just as he made basketball a career, and so did Sudmons.
Chamberlain's departure left Chamberlain depressed all morning, and after going to the training gym, Thurmond wanted to accompany him to practice his low-post attacking skills, so Chamberlain picked up the ball and launched a tumult on the inside. Poor Thurmond was almost fifty years old, and a handful of old bones were almost tortured to pieces.
At first, Thurmond was hindered by the image of a tough guy and slashed with Chamberlain, but then he couldn't stand it anymore and raised his hand to surrender, Chamberlain went to toss the gym equipment again, dumbbells, barbells, and tension machines were tossed by him, Thurmond gasped and asked: "What's wrong with this kid, is he out of love?" ā
Winnie's eyes lit up, and then she pouted regretfully and walked away.
Training began in the afternoon, and the deal for Byron Davis and Belinelli had already been reported, so the atmosphere in the team was a little weird. Chamberlain was in no mood right now, he didn't talk to anyone at all, and apart from the normal tactical deployment, he kept his mouth shut tightly.
Because of Chamberlain's play, the intensity of the intra-team game rose to an unprecedented height, and after 24 minutes of play, Nelson Sr. announced his break and walked into the office himself.
After the old Nelson left, Davis, who had been tightening his face during the game, walked up to Chamberlain, threw him a hundred-dollar bill and said, "Hey, rookie, go buy twenty bottles of water." ā
Chamberlain was very depressed and depressed, and Davis's command simply added fuel to the fire, and he suddenly raised his head and glared at the other party viciously, like an angry lion who saw that the territory was being provoked.
Glared at by Chamberlain's eyes full of devastating desires, Davis's heart suddenly beat several beats, but for the sake of face, he still pretended to be tough and said: "It's your turn this time, last time it was O'Bryant who went to buy water, and only the two of you are first-year rookies, so this time it's your turn." ā
Chamberlain was not in the mood to engage in such stuff with Davis, he picked up the money and walked out of the arena with a blank face, Davis looked at his back angrily, and when he walked to the door, he shouted: "By the way, buy me a bucket of popcorn, I want Daddy Haas's specialty, remember to ask for chocolate and blueberry flavors." ā
Jackson couldn't stand it anymore, he walked out and frowned, "Byron, Daddy Haas's shop is five streets away from the arena, is it too much for you?" ā
Davis glanced at Jackson and said in a weird way, "What's the matter, Boss Jack, what are you?" Can I interpret this as a move by you to curry favor with the boss of the team? ā
Jackson was hot-tempered, and as soon as Davis said this, he suddenly became furious, squeezed his fist fiercely and made a 'crackling' sound, and roared: "You can also be understood as a prelude to my desire to beat you!" ā
Harrington and Petrus were startled, and quickly grabbed Jackson, Chamberlain smiled coldly, and said, "Boss Jack, don't be angry, doesn't someone want to eat popcorn?" I'll let him eat enough! After speaking, he strode out of the arena.
The small characters of O'Briant and Louis were silent, and they honestly shrank aside and didn't dare to interject and speak.
Daddy Haas is a well-known brand in the California snack industry, which started by operating popcorn, and occupies the golden position of major movie theaters, squares, and entertainment venues in California.
In the past, the popcorn in the Oracle Arena was also run by Daddy Haas, and later when he saw that it was so profitable, the Warriors owner who slammed the door drove people away and made his own popcorn for sale, which is also a variety of flavors, but don't have too high expectations for the taste, the Warriors players don't eat it at all.
As Jackson said, the closest Daddy Haas popcorn shop to Oracle Arena is also five blocks away, and Chamberlain took a taxi to get there, and when he got to the popcorn shop, he asked directly, "How much popcorn do you have left?" ā
The hot-bodied waitress recognized Chamberlain's identity at a glance, and while she shook her big breasts and looked forward to climbing the big tree, she showed what she thought was the most charming smile and said, "Hello Mr. Z, our popcorn is made on site, so there is ...... left."
Chamberlain is in a bad mood right now, where is he in the mood to hook up with a woman? What's more, even if he wants to hook up, he will hook up with Winnie, they are all blonde and blue-eyed, Winnie's appearance and figure don't know how many streets this cow has thrown off, so he took out his credit card directly from his wallet, slapped it on the counter and said, "Bring me fifty pounds of popcorn, and then send a car for me to transport it to the underground garage of the Oracle Stadium training hall!" ā
The waitress was stunned for a moment and asked, "You mean fifty pounds?" ā
Popcorn is sold in barrels, and it is the first time she has heard of selling by weight, and although fifty pounds is not heavy, it is quite a considerable amount when put into puffed foods such as popcorn, and sometimes the store can't sell a hundred pounds of popcorn in a day.
Chamberlain lit the credit card on the counter and smiled, "Yes, fifty pounds, the price is negotiable, but you have to send me to the place I designated." Also, if you can't call the shots, let your manager do. ā
The waitress stopped talking nonsense, and several popcorn-making machines rumbled to work, and Chamberlain added: "Remember to have only two flavors: chocolate and blueberry." ā
It took more than 40 minutes to make 50 pounds of popcorn, load a whole pickup truck, and under the guidance of Chamberlain, the pickup truck drove into the underground garage, and then he found Davis's favorite car Ferrari 612, opened the door and let the workers on the pickup start unloading the popcorn, all into this super cool sports car.
NBA stars are macho men with excess male hormone secretion, in addition to liking beautiful women, that is, steel monsters and all kinds of cars, of course, those who are richer and the big stars such as Jordan Kobe Maddie prefer helicopters, yachts and the like, but the latter is too expensive, and most stars still like to play with cars.
There are really many different types of cars that NBA stars like, such as Karl Malone loves trucks, Rodman loves off-road vehicles, and Davis loves sports cars, especially this Ferrari 612, which is his favorite.
The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is one of the few front-engined rear-wheel drive sports cars in the Ferrari model lineup, with a powerful V12 engine, this car was designed by Pininfari and named after the great car designer Sergio Scaglietti, and was eagerly sought after by fans as soon as it was launched, and many NBA stars such as Jordan, Little Emperor James, and Ray Allen were all in this car.
The Ferrari sold for $600,000 in the United States, and it was definitely a luxury car, and Davis cherished the car so much that apart from the Oracle Arena and his family's garage, he would lock the doors whenever he left the car, thus giving Chamberlain a chance.
Brownish-grey chocolate-flavoured popcorn and sky-blue blueberry popcorn poured into the snow-white Ferrari 612 like a raging tide, quickly filling every nook and cranny of the car, leaving not even a single crevice.
The waitress who came with the car watched all this in amazement, and she asked in a mysterious way, "Whose car is this?" ā
Chamberlain smiled: "My own, I like to eat popcorn, how about it, isn't it very creative?" ā
"Maniac!" The waitress scolded in a low voice, and did not continue to soak Chamberlain's mood, and immediately got in the car and left the underground garage. She's not a fool, and if the car really belonged to Chamberlain, how could he possibly stuff popcorn into it? Obviously this is an internal issue for the Warriors, and she doesn't want to be involved.
After doing all this, Chamberlain returned to the training gym with water, and he divided a bottle from person to person, and when he gave it to Davis, the latter asked dissatisfiedly, "Where's my popcorn?" ā
Chamberlain grinned and said, "Don't worry man, I bought it for you, and I bought a lot of it, I bet there must be too much popcorn to make you unbelievable." ā
Davis didn't understand what Chamberlain meant, but he could see from the other party's playful expression that something was wrong, and he asked Chamberlain, but the latter just didn't speak, and then old Nelson came out, and the matter had to be settled.
Until the end of the training match, in the evening, a group of people entered the parking lot, Davis was already seriously separated from the crowd because of the trade, he walked alone in the front, and when the others had just entered the parking lot, he had already opened the door.
The car door opened, and there was only a 'bang', and countless gray-black and blue popcorn rushed out of the car door, like a wave, directly hitting Davis's body, and flowed out until his calf was submerged.
Davis was stunned, he looked at the car full of popcorn in a daze, and was dumbfounded for a moment.
Jackson and the others were also stunned, and then burst into laughter, as everyone's laughter became louder and louder, Davis's face became more and more ugly, thinking of what Chamberlain said in the afternoon, how could he not know who did this? In the afternoon, he was worried that Chamberlain would play a prank, but he didn't expect this rookie to be so arrogant that he would dare to do such a thing!
The laughter of the crowd was like a whip on Davis's face, and he ran back to the training gym in a frenzy, where Chamberlain was practicing bench press, and Davis rushed over and kicked Chamberlain, who was holding his breath and holding the heavy barbell, so that it didn't hold up for a moment, and the barbell smashed directly into his chest.
Winnie, Thurmond, and Curry next to him were all stunned, and old Nelson, who had just gone out and was about to leave, was also stunned.
