I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 30 Sakishi's Friendship
However, in the face of injuries sweeping the entire Lakers team, the players showed a state of "several happy and few sad".

The ones who were worried were of course Kobe, Chu Xiao and other competitive people. There were a few happy ones, and the happiest one was undoubtedly Thackeray.

Thackeray, nicknamed Sa Jishi and Bald Boy, is a rookie in 2012, but he does not show enough talent in training or coming off the bench like Chu Xiao, so he has been waving the towel since the start of the game. part of the job.

Someone has counted, just like his jersey number 50, Thackeray averaged 50 towels per game!He has averaged only 2 points and 2 rebounds per game in his NBA career so far.

Such a master of towel waving, originally thought that he would stay on the bench and carry forward his towel waving skills. After all, one day he would become Jordan and Kobe in the towel waving world, but he was told that he was going to start, and he might play for 48 minutes. , how could he not be surprised?How can you not be happy?
So after training in the morning, Thackeray deliberately went out with a cute cartoon schoolbag on his back, put on sunglasses, hummed a little song, and danced to the car he just bought, ready to drive out to have a good meal.

When he was about to open the car door, he saw someone behind him filming through the car window, and hurriedly turned his head to see that it was Jamison, Ebanks and Duhon, who were carrying cameras and looked like paparazzi chasing stars. Clay was even more complacent, and thought to himself, why not start the car? The treatment will be different immediately, so he has to take the opportunity to show off the new car, and then he turned around and opened the door.

"Wow..."

A truckload of popcorn spilled out.

"Hahaha..." The three of Jamison immediately burst into laughter.

Duhon even stepped up, grabbed a handful of popcorn and popped it into his mouth, saying, "Well, these popcorns are pretty good!"

Seeing that the car he just bought has become a sea of ​​popcorn, Thackeray can only smile helplessly, "This is my new sports car!"

"That's how a rookie grows up! Even if you start tonight, you're still a rookie," Jamison said with a laugh while recording.

Ebanks next to him burst out laughing when he heard the words, and he did not forget to add the knife, "It's nothing to be stuffed with popcorn. When I was a rookie, I even washed socks and tied shoelaces for veterans!"

Thackeray's expression was indescribably uncomfortable, it was really hard to accept this way of growing up.When he glanced at Chu Xiao's Mercedes-Benz big G, he suddenly lifted his spirits and said, "This seems to be Chu Xiao's car, have you guys packed it too?"

"How is it possible!" Du Hong complained, "Kobe said hello early in the morning. He bought this car as a gift to Chu Xiao, and no one is allowed to tamper with it. Do you dare? Wouldn't that be courting death? !"

"Hey!" Thackeray couldn't bear any more blows, and began to clean up the popcorn in the car pitifully by himself.

When Jamison and the others left, they still did not forget to ask, "Clean up slowly, especially under the seats, haha..."

Thackeray's plan to go out at noon had to be shelved by his teammates, because it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon after cleaning up the sports car. He hadn't had lunch yet and hurried to the restaurant behind the training hall to eat. Only Chu Xiao was alone.

"Hey, brother, why are you alone?" Thackeray greeted proactively.

At that time, Chu Xiao was eating avocado toast, and he added a piece of smoked salmon on top of the pure wheat toast, ready to put it in his mouth. Hearing this, he had no choice but to reply, "It seems that they all went home for lunch."

"Impossible, I must have gone out to fool around, I don't know them yet!" Thackeray went to the sideboard to get some hot dogs, hamburgers and fried chicken.

"Damn it, why do you eat fast food?" Chu Xiao ate with Thackeray for the first time, and he couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw what he ate.

"It's okay, we are all young players, our metabolism is relatively fast, and we have almost digested it during training in the afternoon." Thackeray picked up the hamburger and took a bite, biting off more than half of it. He saw that Chu Xiao ate so simple , could not help but ask, "You just eat these?"

"Yeah, there is a game tonight. I will add some carbohydrates and protein in advance. Avocado toast is a good choice." Chu Xiao said, and then he added, "I will avoid eating those junk foods, Poor quality sugar and fried food, these things are not healthy enough, I suggest you eat less."

"I'm fine!" Thackeray had finished his second bite of a hamburger, he picked up a piece of fried chicken and continued to eat, but he kept talking, "You haven't seen Howard eat, he once Eating a four-course steak meal in the locker room, can you imagine? Watching him finish that steak meal, I thought he had decided to give up the game that day! What happened? No. Chu Xiao, I’m not talking about you, you are too strict with yourself! Training is like this, eating is like this, how tiring! People should be happier, don’t you Chinese have a saying that is “today there is wine and today is drunk "Is it? That's it, I have meat today, how happy and unrestrained!"

Seeing that he actually used the poems of Luo Yin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, in this place, Chu Xiao couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, then lowered his head and finished his toast. Seeing that there was still a while before the training time, he said to Thackeray, " Your first start tonight, will you be nervous?"

"Hey, who knew?" Thackeray ate one hot dog at a time.

"Behave well then, and I will pass the ball more for you." Chu Xiao took the initiative to express his kindness.

Hearing this, Thackeray put down the hot dog in his hand, looked into Chu Xiao's eyes and said, "Are you trying to help me?"

"That's right, because I still remember the nervousness when I debuted for the first time, and I can hardly even walk. It was Kobe's words that made me be myself again, so I know that newcomers are not easy, and they need mutual support and encouragement Go further." Chu Xiao said seriously.

Thackeray saw Chu Xiao's seriousness and knew that he was not teasing himself, so he couldn't help being moved, "Chu, thank you! You are the first one to treat me so sincerely."

"What, someone bullied you?" Chu Xiao couldn't help asking.

"No, I just feel that there are still many differences between the NBA and college. This is a much more complicated environment. Sometimes the teammates seem to be in harmony, but there is no real friendship. Once I feel that my position is threatened or other things Interests are damaged, and the speed of face-changing will be unimaginable. Of course, in the NBA world, not all interests come first, like Kobe, who just doesn’t expect anything in return for you.” Thackeray said with emotion, “It’s true. I envy you that someone like Kobe treats you... However, if someone treats you well, it will naturally attract the jealousy of others, so you have to be careful."

"Okay." Although Chu Xiao agreed, he felt in his heart whether he meant something. After thinking about it, he couldn't help asking, "Thackeray, have you heard something?"

"Ah, no!" Thackeray denied, "I'm just expressing my feelings. After all, this is the United States, and you are a Chinese. You should know what this means, right?"

"So that's the case, I understand, thank you." Chu Xiao knew that he was really a kind reminder out of good intentions, so he also said to him, "Kobe didn't treat me well for no reason, he just appreciated my training and competition. attitude, you will train harder in the future, let us play well in the NBA together!"

"Can I?" Thackeray seemed to be ignited instantly, and after Chu Xiao nodded in affirmation, he simply pushed the hot dog in his hand to the side, "Then I won't eat any of these, from now on Stop eating, eat more easily digestible salmon, rice and vegetables like you, and train hard to make yourself the best athlete in the world!"

　I wish you a nice weekend.
