The Spurs are also participating in the All-Star Game, Duncan and Parker, but one of them will take their family with them, and the other is going to drive there. Stephen is alone, and each team has to go to some staff to help Some activities are held, but the itinerary is not uniform.

The All-Star Game is like a grand party or a show, it is not serious, and there are no strict schedule requirements. When Stephen arrived at the hotel where he stayed, most of the players had not arrived here, and some players brought their families. Naturally, he also had to go outside, so Stephen was assigned a separate room.

This is also the first time for Stephen to enjoy this treatment. When playing away games with the team, two people are usually arranged in a room. He did not expect to be able to enjoy such treatment during the All-Star Game. Stephen was very surprised.

"Ding ding ding..." Just after talking on the phone with Coupard, he learned that he had arrived in Houston. On the way to the hotel, the phone in the room suddenly rang. Stephen answered the phone curiously, and the thick laughter continued. When it came over, Stephen recognized Yao Ming's voice.

"Didn't we agree that you would contact me as soon as you came to Houston?" Yao Ming blamed Stephen when he came up. During the last game, Yao Ming had already agreed with Stephen to treat Stephen well during the All-Star Game.

"I just got settled, and I haven't had time to contact you yet, Brother Yao, how do you know I'm here? Do you know the phone number in my room?" Stephen originally planned to take Coppard with him to Yao Restaurant when he arrived. Well, I don’t intend to disturb Yao Ming. He mainly wants to visit and study, to see how other people’s thinking is different from his own, and to observe the composition of customers by the way. His home is the kind of small shop for low-level customers. Naturally, restaurants like this would not open again in San Antonio, so Shi Xiangdong had no idea, thinking that customers such as white-collar workers or bosses would not appreciate his craftsmanship.

Stephen didn't feel much. He felt that his father's craftsmanship was very good, and his family was also considered a culinary family. Although the customers were different and many dishes needed to be improved, the taste buds of the public should be similar.

"I have already greeted the hotel. They will notify me when you arrive. I will treat you to dinner tonight. You are waiting at the hotel. I will pick you up by car." Yao Ming was very enthusiastic. After all, the All-Star Game was held in Houston. Okay, he is the host, and as the head star of the Rockets, he is also qualified to greet people for the team.

"I'm still bringing friends?" Stephen naturally couldn't refuse, but he couldn't leave Coupard here.

"It's okay, isn't it your girlfriend?" Yao Ming teased Stephen.

"No, it's Coupard, the Clippers." At this time, Coppard had already entered the room, and when he heard Stephen say his name, he hurried to the phone to listen, but was pushed away by Stephen's hand.

"That kid, he's quite strong, okay, you guys are waiting over there, I'll pick you up later." Yao Ming readily agreed, and then the two hung up the phone.

"There is a treat, and I will take you to dinner tonight." Seeing that Coppard wanted to ask, Stephen told him directly, and then the two chatted.

Coupard complained about Stephen when he came up, thinking that Stephen was not reused in the Spurs. Stephen did not pretend to be modest, but he did not complain. This is determined according to his status in the team. If you are a team The boss of the coach may have a maximum salary contract, so the coach will naturally not use him. Who is to say that he is still a rookie, and he is still getting a basic salary.

Then Stephen asked how Coppard is doing with the team recently. This cannot be seen by relying on statistics. The Clippers ranked fourth in the Western Conference. This result is also quite good, especially for the Clippers. for the team.

"Fuck, don't talk about it..." When it comes to this issue, Coupard is painstaking. Recently, Brand has played very well, and Coupard's playing time has been reduced a lot. He is not Brand. He is Chris Kaman's substitute, but when he was on the court, Brand deliberately didn't cooperate with him, so he didn't perform much, and Brand didn't do it obviously, so the coach couldn't say anything about him. What, I had to let another backup center Sergey Brashado play, and Coupard's playing time dropped sharply.

"There's nothing you can do about it, Shinobu." Stephen patted him on the shoulder reassuringly. No one can solve this problem for him. It's not easy to get along with the boss, and it's normal to be suppressed. Cooperate with you more, and you can't do anything about them.

"But the coach told me, let me train with peace of mind, and I will gradually increase my playing time. After all, Selke is old, and his ability is much worse than mine. I often beat him up in training. , even Kaman, and now I can carry it.” Coppard, like ordinary blacks, his mood changes very quickly, and when he talked about happy things, he suddenly became happy and excited. Under Stephen’s strong education and precepts and deeds , Cooper is more aggressive than before, especially in training. Although he is not as hardworking as Stephen, he is already much better than many players. This guy is not very talented, but he is physically good and hardworking enough. Now this is enough, being a main substitute is enough, and it is no problem to be the starting main force when encountering a team that lacks insiders.

"Come on, let's go to the gym for a while?" I don't know what's going on, seeing his excited look, Stephen wanted to hit him, why did he want to hit him when he saw him, Stephen was very puzzled, but he still stood up and asked Coupard invited.

"Boss, let's forget it? Aren't we going to eat in a while, and there will be a game tomorrow night." Kuppard naturally knew what the boss's plan was, and it had been a long time since he hadn't taught himself a lesson, and his hands were itchy. Pade really didn't want to try it, but he didn't dare to resist under the prestige, so he had to ask cautiously.

"It's still early for dinner. Tomorrow night's game has nothing to do with it now. Stop talking nonsense and go." Stephen glared at him. It seemed that he had learned a lesson in a while. After such a long time, he dared not listen to his own words. .

"Then take it easy, I'm afraid of pain." Coupard looked distressed, why should he be happy to see the boss, and he ran over so early, isn't this a pole to seek abuse, could it be that he has something? Masochism?Coupard made up his mind to go to Los Angeles to find a psychiatrist as soon as the All-Star Game was over.

When the two of them came out of the gym, Stephen felt comfortable and satisfied, and Coupard followed behind with a painful grinning face. At this time, he had confirmed that he had no self-abuse disorder, and he didn't feel uncomfortable when he was beaten. So powerful, that Humphries dared to provoke the boss, he really asked for trouble, and he could also provoke a humanoid monster like the old man.

On the way back to the room, Stephen and Coupard met Jascovicius. Although he did not participate in the draft and did not perform very well in the field, he was still invited for his title of "King of Europe". Participating in this rookie challenge, the 30-year-old rookie may also be the oldest rookie since the rookie game was held.

Seeing him alone, Stephen asked curiously why Granger didn't come, who knew that Granger stuck his head out of the room, and they chatted for a while, Granger proposed to have dinner together, but Stephen pushed It's gone, it's no problem for him to take Coupard to make a living, this is his own little brother, it's a bit too much to bring a bunch of people.

At this time, many rookies have already rushed over, most of whom are first-year players. Except for Luther Head and Deron, the other first-year players have already checked into the hotel. Among the second-year players, Nocioni and Kristich have already arrived. , It is said that another West also came, but he put down his luggage and went out.

Stephen and Coupard rested in the room for a while, Yao Ming came over, and even came to the room to invite Stephen. Many people looked at him with envy and jealousy. Yao Ming has been an All-Star ticket for several years. King, in normal times he is a top player in the league, but in the All-Star Game, especially in the All-Star Game held in Houston, Yao Ming is the most dazzling star player.

Talking casually on the road, Yao Ming suddenly asked Stephen if he was interested in sitting with people from China. Yao Ming told Stephen that he mainly entertained two groups of people today. One was former teammates, like Francis and Mobley. , Nakba and others, some of them are here at home, some are here to watch the All-Star Game, Stephen prepared a buffet banquet for them, and the domestic visitors are mixed, some are media, some are experts, and some are Officials from the Basketball Association came to inspect the process of holding the All-Star Game. Of course, those who are qualified for Yao Ming to entertain are people of a certain level. It is impossible for Yao Ming to entertain them separately, so he set up a big room for them.

People from both sides, Stephen didn't want to be with them, but considering Yao Ming's difficulties, so many people needed to be entertained, and he came to pick him up in person. That's not to mention.

"Now that you have accepted the endorsement of Vick Company, you should also consider the domestic relationship. These people are very influential in the industry. Sit back, there is no harm anyway." Yao Ming persuaded Stephen, Stephen He had no choice but to agree, but Stephen felt that it was a little more difficult to deal with Coupard. He didn't understand Chinese, and it would be boring to go there with him.

Tell Coupard about the situation, but Coupard said that there is no problem. Since Mobley is here, he and Coupard have a good relationship with the Clippers. Tan, Yao Ming was very happy to solve this problem.

When he arrived at Yao Restaurant, he didn't need to go inside, so Stephen was a little depressed. A restaurant of this scale would have to invest millions of dollars, and it was a bit difficult with his own financial resources. Do something, but I didn't expect to do it on such a large scale.
