Chapter 70: Eat Breakfast
After the game, Min Congda practiced in the Staples Center parking lot while Curry was also practicing on the court.
Min practiced two-handed balls, while Curry practiced three-pointers.
Curry had a mediocre performance tonight, scoring just eight points and dished out three assists but had four turnovers.
The worst thing is that the three-point shot that overtook him at the critical moment was not made, and he was fouled during the retreat, which led to Hilga's free throw.
The Clippers trailed by three points, and the team had to take the risk of setting up a three-point strategy, and this time Dunleavy did not trust Curry anymore and gave the opportunity to the team's boss Baron Davis.
Although Davis missed the last three points, Curry felt that he was the first person responsible.
An open three-point miss, a senseless foul, ruined the Clippers' first home game of the new season.
After the game, the big guys were a little disappointed, but no one blamed Curry, Dunleavy didn't say anything, as a veteran coach, he experienced a lot of failures, and such a loss was acceptable.
But Curry blamed himself very much, so the fans all left the court, most of his teammates went home after showering in the locker room, and the head coach left after attending the press conference.
The Stamp Center, which had been bustling with activity, was particularly empty at this time, with staff cleaning and cleaning up around it, and the headlights of the home stadium also turned off.
One, two, three...... While! Didn't go in. Re-cast, one, two, three, four, five...... While! Didn't go in again.
Curry silently counted the number of consecutive hits in his heart, and he set a rule for himself, he must hit 10 threes in a row tonight to leave, and he will shoot in the same position tonight, otherwise he will continue to shoot even if he is tired here.
On the sidelines, Curry's girlfriend Ayesha watched Curry practice on the court with worried eyes, and she could see that Curry was not only practicing more, but he was also punishing himself, punishing himself for not hitting a key three-point shot and committing a stupid foul.
Ayesha wanted to persuade him not to blame himself too much, but she knew Curry's character, he looked baby-faced like a child, and his inner stubbornness and arrogance were beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Finally, before the staff was about to finish the cleanup and close the museum, Curry completed the task of hitting 10 three-pointers in a row and sat down on the ground tired.
If it is daily training, when the physical strength is full, let alone 10 in a row, 15 or 20 Curry in a row is not undone.
But after playing a high-intensity game, it is not so easy to hit continuously when you are physically and mentally exhausted, and the slightest flaw in the power will lead to a miss, and you have to start all over again if you miss once.
Ayesha walked to the field, ignored Curry's sweat, kissed him lightly on the head, and comforted, "Let's go back, I think you must be hungry." ”
Curry smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine, tomorrow will be better, let's go." ”
Curry got up, went to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes, and went to the parking lot with Ayesha.
Don't look at Curry's baby face, his figure is much thinner than other players in the NBA, but he likes small horses and big cars, driving a black Mercedes G552009 large off-road vehicles.
Driving to the exit of the parking lot, Curry saw a familiar car and license plate in front of him, wasn't that the car of Mr. Smart, the general manager?
Why hasn't he gone back at this point? Ah, he's the same as himself, he must have blamed himself for losing, he must have worked overtime in the office to watch the video.
Curry hurriedly honked his horn and rolled down the window to say hello: "Hey, Smart!" ”
Coupled with a salary of 2,000 yuan for a loss, it feels really good to have a good harvest both materially and spiritually.
Just as he was about to find a place to have a drink with Daddario, he ran into Curry, Min Congda lowered the car window, turned around and beckoned, "Hey Stephen!" Why are you only going back now! Why don't you find a place to have a drink? ”
Curry saw Min Congda's expression and tone, how did he feel that he was quite happy?
Also, Mr. Smart taught himself that failure in life is the main theme, and to learn to face failure, an optimistic attitude is the best attitude to face failure.
Curry pointed to Ayesha in the car and said, "I'm going home with Ayesha, do you want to come to my house for some food?" ”
When Min Congda heard that Ayesha was there, he knew that he would definitely not be able to take Curry to the fall, but it was a good choice to go to Curry's house for a meal.
So he turned to Daddario and asked, "Anna, do you want to go to Curry's house together and have a drink?" Have a late-night snack? ”
D'Addario has not yet fully recovered from the passion he had just had.
Now Min Congda is what he says, and it's a good experience to be a guest at an NBA player's home. She remembers when she was a kid and her father took her to Madison Garden to watch a game, and Patrick Ewing was the big Apple juggernaut at the time.
However, Ewing's physical appearance is too powerful and terrifying for a little girl, so Daddario has no interest in basketball.
Curry, on the other hand, is very different, and feels completely different from those fierce NBA strong men, and it must be interesting to visit his house.
Min Congda told Curry that there was another person, and both Curry and Ayesha understood it, and the four of them drove to Curry's home in Northeast Los Angeles, which was an ordinary single-family house, like the residence of many middle-class families, not very luxurious.
Min Congda skillfully parked the car, and Daddario said, "Do you come here often?" ”
"This... Sometimes I come over for dinner, good friends. ”
After returning to Los Angeles from Las Vegas, there was no food at the training center, and Min Congda came when he saw the sky, and he was more diligent than his son-in-law and mother-in-law's house.
After entering Curry's house, Min Congda was even more proficient, and went directly into the kitchen to start preparing for supper.
Daddario was surprised when he saw it and asked, "Is Smart the master here?" Does he know how to cook? ”
Ayesha smiled, "Smart often comes to our house for dinner, his cooking skills are really good, he can cook a lot of dishes. ”
Daddario was surprised and came to the kitchen to see Min Congda busy at work, this guy was more familiar with Curry's refrigerator than he was with the team's salary sheet.
"Frozen chicken wings, lemon, tabasco hot sauce, sausage, rosemary, tomato, onion, oh, and garlic...... Anna, why are you here, uh, going get me a bottle of white wine? ”
Daddario nodded, but instead of getting the wine, he stepped forward to Min Congda and kissed him lightly on the face.
This flattered Min Congda, and felt a little shy, after all, this was Curry's house, and he had nowhere to put his hands because he was a little dirty because he took the ingredients, and said, "Oh, Anna, this... It's someone else's house..."
Daddario smiled, "Then, can I go to your house later?" I want to eat the breakfast you made tomorrow. ”
