Chapter 260: A Vacation in Europe

After the draft, NBA teams stopped a lot, big trades didn't happen, and small trades continued.

McHale's inaction in the draft feels a little incomprehensible, and it is to be expected that the Timberwolves, who have a lot of potential players in their hands, will definitely make trades and reinforcements in the summer.

As for the team's center position, although Nikola Pekovic is an outstanding player, judging from the negotiations with Panaxin Nakos, the Montenegrins still don't seem to have a chance to play for the Timberwolves in the 09-10 season, and once the team fails to renew Anderson's contract, then the team will not have a qualified starting center next season.

Zheng Ke wants McHale to make a personal trip to Greece to settle Pekovic's contract issues. This is still being discussed by members of the Timberwolves' management staff, and they will continue to send scouts to check Pekovic's physical condition and make a final decision after weighing it.

And after participating in the draft, Zheng Ke and Taylor officially put the European vacation trip on the agenda.

After returning to Minneapolis, the two began to pack and prepare to leave the United States. This trip to Europe was a plan that was decided early on, and Taylor also read a lot of travel tips and materials for this purpose, and the two did not invite others to travel together, this time, they wanted to enjoy the world of the two.

"Shall we start from the north or from the south?" Taylor pushed the huge sunglasses above his head, held a map of Europe in his hand, and asked Zheng Ke.

Zheng Kemo rubbed his chin, he didn't feel anything about it. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "You make a decision, I think it's the same wherever you go." I haven't been there anyway. ”

"Let's start with the UK!" Taylor's green fingers slid across the map, and then settled on London, England, "How about going to London first?" It's a fashion capital with a history of many years. It's also the largest city and economic center in Europe, and I've always wanted to visit there. ”

Zheng Ke also has expectations for London, "I heard that there are a lot of places of interest and museums in London, so it is a good choice to go to London first. ”

"That's right." Taylor looked up and saw Zheng Ke, "Do you want to take Xiao Shuang away?" He was alone at home and blamed the pitiful. ”

"That's a problem." Zheng Ke now remembers the difficulty of having a small baby. It seems like there's some trouble going anywhere. He paced back and forth a few steps, then decided, "I'm not going to take him out." But who to take care of? ”

"You can let my parents take care of it, they are talking about Xiao Zheng Shuang all day long." Taylor immediately thought of the most suitable person, and the two solved another problem.

"We had to be secluded this time, if we let the paparazzi know. That's more annoying. Zheng Ke also learned to sit on the floor with Taylor. Sit on an oversized map of Europe.

"That's right," Taylor pouted at the paparazzi, "they're so ubiquitous, they hate it." ”

"Haha." Zheng Ke laughed: "Last time, they took pictures of the two of us making love, but I didn't expect that in Los Angeles, they didn't shoot Hollywood stars, but stared at the two of us." It's funny. ”

Taylor blushed at Zheng Ke's words and gave him a blank look. "It's all your fault that time, I didn't even wear sunglasses, and I had to be in the car, I don't want to talk about you."

Zheng Ke was super thick-skinned and said indifferently, "Anyway, they didn't shoot clearly, a group of scum who can't use a DSLR." ”

"Don't talk about that, when will our tickets be booked?" Taylor asked.

"I've already told Jeff (Schwartz) that he will arrange it for us as soon as possible, I guess it's the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."

After everything was almost arranged, Taylor sighed a little.

"Oh, it's the first time I've been to these places, and I'm a little excited to think about it."

Looking at the cheering Taylor, Zheng Ke smiled, he reached out and wrapped his hand around Taylor's thin waist, gently stroked her hair, and said, "What's this, from now on, we will travel every year, and go on vacation every summer." "Hmm." Taylor lay in Zheng Ke's arms and answered softly

Walking to a place, Zheng Ke most hopes that he can understand and observe it by walking. In Europe, Zheng and Taylor traveled to more than a dozen countries.

It stretches from London, England in the north, Lisbon in Portugal in the west, and the Sea of Love in Greece in the south. Starting with a tour of the mysterious castle, the two traveled all over ancient Europe with great interest, meeting Spanish bullfighters and hearing the howling of the waves of the Aegean Sea. They have touched the giant windmills of the Netherlands and climbed the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy; They have been on all sorts of bizarre tourist buses and on old-fashioned, dilapidated green trains.

Basketball is a very popular sport in Paris, France, perhaps influenced by Parker's outstanding performance in the NBA, where people talk about the NBA in addition to the ubiquitous football in Europe. Of course, there are also many basketball fans who support streetball, and after Zheng Ke came here, he felt a bit of a French streetball atmosphere.

As a kind of basketball culture, streetball has its own uniqueness. It advocates passing with dazzling movements and unbridled imagination, it is not as competitive as the professional league, but it attracts the attention of fans through gorgeous performances, even if Zheng Ke sees it, there is a feeling of intent.

In Greece, Zheng Ke saw the team's outstanding basketball atmosphere, and he also visited Pekovic of the Panaxin Nakos team with McHale, who had traveled from the United States. In the training hall, Zheng Ke personally went off the court and felt Pekovic's basic skills.

Overall, Pekovic is a very good player for immediate action.

He has an excellent close-frame attack, is extremely stable in the lower game, has excellent power, and has an impressive tonnage. With a height of 2.11 meters and a weight of almost 290 pounds at 131 kilograms, this is definitely a heavyweight athlete in today's era when pure centers in the NBA are almost extinct.

Of course, Pekovic's shortcomings are also obvious, slow footwork, poor defense, lack of face-frame offensive skills, etc. However, these problems can be improved through training, and such outstanding talent has determined that Pekovic can survive in the NBA's muscle-ridden interior, and he and Love can collect all the backcourt rebounds.

So McHale made a quick decision, and after a few days of negotiations with the Panasynakos team, he bought out the remaining contract of Pekovic for 3 million euros, so that Pekovic could successfully report to the Timberwolves next season.

Later, the two and McHale separated in Greece to continue their vacation trip.

On the beach on the shore of the Aegean Sea, Zheng Ke and Taylor took a large number of photo albums together. Even after giving birth, Taylor's body is still sexy and hot, which is something that many Asian women can't achieve. Needless to say, Zheng Ke's figure is like a dragon, with bronzed skin, eight well-defined abdominal muscles, and exposed biceps brachial muscles on his arms.

Two years ago, Zheng Ke was still a thin young man with a thin body when he first entered the NBA, and now his body is gradually getting stronger, although he is not like James who is five big and three thick, but he is not far from players like Kobe and Maddie.

Zheng Ke's leopard-like body attracted the attention of a group of rotten girls on the beach of Love Sea, although he was wearing sunglasses, he was still brilliant, and many hot and bikini-wearing beauties came to talk to Zheng Ke, completely ignoring Taylor, who was lying on the chair and was a little angry.

Zheng Ke usually smiled and shook his head, turned his head in Taylor's direction, and said that he had a female companion. The beauties came grinning, and after receiving a disappointed reply, they went away with the fragrant wind.

Taylor tugged at Zheng Ke's waist muscles and gritted his teeth: "Are you very proud?" ”

Zheng Ke showed innocent eyes, spread his hands and looked a little helpless, "There is no such thing." ”

"Hmph."

Taylor couldn't pinch the muscles in Zheng Ke's waist, shook off his hand angrily, reached for the drink on the table, and took a big sip of hatred.

Seeing that Taylor was really a little angry, Zheng Ke immediately squatted down and put it on cheekily: "Oops, my mistake, I shouldn't have gone out to attract bees and butterflies"

After saying a bunch of good things, Taylor forgave Zheng Ke for this high-profile behavior, "In view of the helplessness on the beach, I will forgive you this time, and you are not allowed to take off your clothes in the future, not on the basketball court!" ”

Men undressing and women undressing will attract the opposite sex, Taylor felt that Zheng Ke's behavior was a bit dangerous, and directly forbade Zheng Ke to use it again.

Zheng Ke immediately made a big face bitterly, and his expression was as embarrassed as McGee.

Suddenly, Taylor was so happy that he laughed in his chair despite the image of a lady.

Taylor has never been so happy since he was a child, he doesn't have to think about anything, he doesn't have to do anything, he holds the hand of his beloved, and walks to every corner of Europe. She looked at Zheng Ke's resolute face like a knife and an axe, and thought to herself that she would go on with him like this until her face grew old and turned into loess. (To be continued......)
