I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 171 California Highway One

After the game against the Bobcats, the next game the Lakers will face is the Golden State Warriors. Coincidentally, their head star Stephen Curry has also been crazy about shooting ultra-long three-pointers recently. Almost exactly the same, they all have fast shooting speed, long distance, and high hit rate.

Now Chu Xiao has created a new single-game three-pointer record and three-point lore to beat the Bobcats, while Curry scored a career-high 54 points and contributed 6 rebounds in an away game against the Suns , 7 assists and 3 steals.In addition, Curry hit a total of 11 three-pointers in the game, which is only 2 goals away from Chu Xiao's new league record.

They are all ultra-long three-pointers and Xiaoxiao rains non-stop, and they are considered by the media to be the leaders who are creating an unprecedented era of three-pointers in the NBA.

In addition to three-pointers, Curry and Chu Xiao also have many similarities. They were not favored before the draft. One was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 2009th pick in the first round of the 7 NBA draft. In 2012, he was selected by the Celtics with the 21st overall pick in the first round and then traded to the Lakers.

After entering the league, they are all the type who will become a blockbuster if they don't sing.

Needless to say, Chu Xiao was so nervous that he made a mistake in his first game after entering the league. Later, when he met old hooligans like Deron, he was defended too much. Fortunately, he had Kobe and Nash as his teachers. One of the players with the best skills, one of the best passers and shooters in history, these two played one-on-one with Chu Xiao for an hour in the morning, honing his defensive and one-on-one skills, and accompanied Chu Xiao all night After training for two hours, he tied his waist with a rope to correct his shooting posture, so that he can shoot farther and more accurately.

It is precisely because of the hand-in-hand teaching of these two masters that Chu Xiao is now a blockbuster.

As for Curry, he is not as lucky as Chu Xiao. He was taught day and night by two great masters when he first entered the league, but he is not bad. He was born on March 1988, 3 in a "basketball family" in Akron, Ohio , father Dell Curry is also an excellent basketball player.

After Curry entered the league, he was nicknamed "Moe God". He and his teammate Thompson were collectively called "Splash Brothers". He was skilled at handling the ball and good at shooting three-pointers. , but never averaged more than 20 points per game before this season. In the 2011-12 season, Curry continued to suffer from injuries and only played 26 games, averaging only 14.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game. Among them, the score is the lowest since the rookie season, and the season reimbursement was announced before the end of the regular season.

On November 2012, 11, the Warriors officially announced that they had reached an agreement with Stephen Curry on a contract extension.Considering that his performance has been unsatisfactory, the new contract lasts for 1 years and is worth only 4 million US dollars. It will take effect in the summer of 4400 and expire in the summer of 2013.

In addition to the low amount of the new contract, he was also "humiliated" by Nike.Curry's father is also a professional player himself. After retiring, he worked for Nike, so Curry wore Nike shoes from a young age. When he entered the league, he naturally signed a sneaker contract with Nike. When the contract expired, Nike was going to renew the contract with Curry, but at that time they offered an extremely "humiliating" price to Curry-a mere $250 million.

You must know that Nike's many stars at this time include Irving, Anthony Davis, Durant, James, Kobe and others.Although Curry and these guys were obviously not at the same level at the time, he was not much worse than Irving and Anthony Davis, so Curry refused very angrily, and UA sent him 400 million sneakers shortly thereafter. contract, but Nike chose to ignore it, and Curry signed with UA.

However, no one expected that Curry would choose revenge in the 2012-2013 season when he returned. He currently averages 22.9 points, 6.9 assists and 4 rebounds per game. What's more, he averages 3.5 three-pointers per game. The ball, with a hit rate of 45.3%, took the lead in setting off a three-point storm.

If the Warriors can play a new dynasty under the leadership of Curry in the near future, and win the MVP and championship, etc., I believe that Nike will have no medicine to regret by then, and will lose at least one billion dollars in vain.

Maybe it was to get revenge on all the people who underestimated him. Curry had accumulated a lot of money, and he was about to meet Chu Xiao, who was similar to him and had the same blockbuster success. Whose three-pointers would be faster, farther and more accurate?Who is more surprising?

Everything was staged three days later on December 12.

Since there were rare three days without a game before this, the team decided to take two days off and let them rest freely, considering the exhaustion of the players against the Bobcats.

During this period of competition and training, it was indeed very tiring. Chu Xiao also decided to put aside the training for the time being, and took Tracy and Dai Daier out for a walk to relax and relax. They finally chose the destination of On the California Highway 50, it was named "one of the [-] places you must visit in your lifetime" by National Geographic magazine.

As for the competition?Three days later, it happened to be held in San Francisco, the end point of Highway [-] in California. The Lakers challenged the Golden State Warriors away, and the game happened just after the tour.

-

California Highway 463 is a coastal road connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco. On the [-] miles from Los Angeles to San Francisco, one side is the blue ocean, and the other side is steep cliffs or endless grasslands. Called the most beautiful road in America.

Another reason why Chu Xiao took Ermei to camp here is that there are countless pearl-like small towns scattered on this road. California Highway 17 is that line. The beads are all connected in series, not only the old California style of Monterey, the awe-inspiring style of Big Sur, the artistic taste of Carmel, but also the beauty of the [-]-mile scenic drive. It is a kind of enjoyment to walk around It is also a kind of life attitude, the baptism of the soul, and the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

In short, there is no better place to relax than this two-day vacation.

Chu Xiao rented a C-type RV from a RV company in Santa Monica in advance. The bedroom, kitchen, and toilet were all available. Tracy bought a lot of food and drink, and Dai Daier brought some fitness Equipment, this is the rhythm of training so that Chu Xiao can't neglect his training even when he travels.

At 12 a.m. on December 19, they set off with pots and pans.Chu Xiao was in charge of driving, Tracy sat in the co-driver's seat and introduced the scenery, and Dai Daier lay in the back of the cab and played with her mobile phone, exclaiming once or twice, "My God, Chu Xiao is your Twitter fan. It's already 5 million, and it's about to break 962 million!" "My God, the All-Star voting channel has only been opened for a few days, and the voting is already in full swing. In the West, Kobe and Paul are the top two in the backcourt. The third is... wait, guess who it is?"

"Harden? Nash? Westbrook? Parker? Who else is there besides these four?" Trish replied with a smile.

"Wrong! All wrong!" Dai Daier seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, "Guess again?"

"Guess again? And Curry? They really can't guess who else is there." Tracy begged for mercy, "Tell us quickly, don't keep it secret."

"Okay, okay, let me tell you, listen carefully." Dai Dai'er straightened up and said with a straight voice, "Chu Xiao."

"What?" Tracy and Chu Xiao exclaimed and questioned at the same time, "Impossible?"

"I didn't believe it at first, but the result is like this. Chu Xiao ranked third, and the number of votes is closely catching up with Paul who ranked second. My God, Chu Xiao, you can do it. You just entered the league and you will become an All-Star This is incredible." Dai Daier sat in the back and kept sighing.

"To be honest, I can't believe it either, but this is just the beginning, and I can't say that I will be overtaken soon." After the initial shock, Chu Xiao quickly calmed down.

"That's not necessarily true. With your backing against China, there will be hundreds of millions of fans voting for you, right? I think you're sure to win, maybe you can squeeze out Paul to become the starter," Deidel said.

Tracy also said, "In addition to the Chinese factor, he recently broke the three-pointer record and hit a lot of super long-range shots one after another. I think this is one of the reasons why fans will choose him, because the All-Star Game is You want to see a beautiful performance, and the ultra-long three-pointer is very suitable for everyone's appetite."

"Hey, after the analysis of the two of you, it seems to make sense." Chu Xiao laughed while driving.

Talking and chatting in the car quickly drove away the sleepiness of getting up early.

"Come on, come on, our future all-stars have been driving hard, drink some water." Seeing that there were hardly any cars on the road, Tracy picked up the water bottle and gave Chu Xiao some water to drink. Blowing kisses, "Thank you honey."

"Woo..." Without waiting for Tracy to answer, Dai Daier protested first, "Why did you bring me with you when you came out camping? Is this to let me eat dog food along the way? Forget it, I'm going to Santa Barbara soon, I'm going to take a shower and change clothes first, you two can make love casually in the cab, even if you do that, no one will bother you, huh!"

Dai Daier got up from the seat in the back row, and then folded the seat to the side to reveal a small door. After pushing it open, it was the rear compartment. She went straight in and closed the door, but it was not locked and then popped open and she has moved on without knowing it.

Tracy and Chu Xiao looked at each other and smiled, seemingly helpless.But Chu Xiao was very courageous, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and put the other hand on Tracy's thigh, fumbling while driving.

Trish pretended not to see, and turned her head to look out the window to see the scenery.

At this time, it was daylight, and the car had already left Santa Monica, driving on Highway [-], and it was half an hour's drive to the small town of Santa Barbara.

The view outside the car window is all about the sea. At this time, the sky is rosy and seductive. After reflecting on the sea, the sea and sky are connected into a red dreamy scene. It is hard to tell which is the sky and which is the sea... Only after a while, a light yellow sun revealed half of its head, and a half circle surfaced out of the water, piercing into the gap between the sea and the sky, and the sea and the sky were torn apart. The opening, with a reddish or yellowish halo, is moving and trembling, responding to the jump of the naughty sun.

As the sun keeps piercing towards the sky, the red fades quietly, the sky turns from red to yellow, and the sea also reveals a trace of blue surging, as if water and fire are blending strangely, the cold sea water begins to burn... In the final advance of the sun, it suddenly whitened a strip of sky with ecstasy, bursting out with a milky white light.Then the sky and the sea seemed to shake a few times, the sun jumped out of the water completely, and then the whole red faded, the sky and the sea turned into a light blue together, and they closed together again at the place where they met, and the sea and sky reappeared. Return to the same color.

The sun turned from yellow to white, and finally showed its entire smiling face, smiling above the blue sky.

From time to time, some swimming fish jumped out of the sea, shuttled, played, and played games like sunrise on the sea.
