Chapter 276 A Rare Relaxation

illusory?
Yes, it is indeed unreal.

Who would have thought that Yang Ke, who is mediocre in domestic college leagues, would be picked up by the Spurs at the end of the first round? And who would have expected that such a controversial player could quickly adapt to the NBA and step by step a footprint?
Even Yang Ke himself did not expect that after the three members of GDP were injured one after another, the coaching staff and players would select him as a rookie to be the temporary core.

Maybe this is life, you don't think about what will happen in the future, and you don't know the reasons for many things. The only thing you know is what you will do.

Closing his hands, putting the note back into his pocket, Yang Ke silently walked back to the hotel...

On April 4, American time, NBA teams had only three or four games left in the regular season this season. All teams that could enter the playoffs began to take a large-scale rotation in accordance with the usual practice.

Let the players who have worked hard for a season take a break at the end of the season to avoid their injuries and give them more time to adjust their status and reserve their physical fitness.

There will be no punishment for this to the league executives. In fact, the league executives and the team management have formed a corresponding tacit understanding.

After all, the pursuit of the two parties does not conflict. The team management hopes that the team will go further, while the league executives hope that the playoffs will be more exciting.

5:40 am

Yang Ke has already woken up, and now he doesn't need to set the alarm clock.This season, he got up to practice at this time every day, and he has formed a fixed living habit, and his body already has a corresponding biological alarm clock.

After waking up, Yang Ke habitually finished the bedding, and then walked into the bathroom of the guest room to wash his face.Then he walked back to the living room, came to the built-in wardrobe, looked at the stack of clothes hanging inside, and fell into deep thought.

One training suit and two casual suits.

In the past, Yang Ke would put on his training clothes, pick up his own basketball, and go to a nearby basketball court to practice.He waited until he came back around noon, took a bath, and then changed into the casual clothes Emma matched for him before doing other things.

But at this moment, Yang Ke was a little hesitant. He remembered the sentence behind the note last night: life is always greater than basketball.

After a while, Yang Ke stretched out his right hand and grasped the hanger on which the training clothes were hung. When he was about to take it off, he let go of his hand and went to take off a set of casual clothes instead.

Looks like this morning's training has been cancelled.
Yang Ke shook his head, didn't worry too much about it, threw some clothes and pants on the bed, turned around and went back into the bathroom, took a shower, and then came out to change into casual clothes.

Picking up the New York tour guide on the table, Yang Ke walked out of the room, entered the elevator, and prepared to go to the hotel cafeteria on the second floor.

Looking at himself in the elevator mirror, Yang Ke subconsciously straightened his hair.At this moment, he was wearing a pure white T-shirt on the upper body, and a red plaid cotton jacket on the outside; a pair of black casual trousers on the lower body, and dark brown casual flat shoes on his feet.

"Ding!"

The elevator door opened, and Yang Ke turned around and walked out. After a few steps, he came to the cafeteria door, and first reported the room number to the waiter standing beside him.

"Sir, I'm sorry, please wait a moment."

The female waitress obviously didn't know Yang Ke. After hearing the room number, she didn't let him in directly, but checked the information on the iPad in her hand.

Yang Ke stopped and looked at the New York guidebook in his hand, without any impatience on his face.

You must know that there are more than 120 kinds of ingredients and dishes for the buffet breakfast in a five-star hotel. Usually, there are standard configurations such as cold meat meals, salad bars, fruit counters, hot dish counters, bread counters, and freshly squeezed juice bars.

Generally speaking, many suites in the hotel include a free breakfast, so in order to avoid unexpected situations, the waiters at the door will basically check whether free breakfast is included and whether the tenant is himself or not.

Of course, if you meet some familiar celebrities, you will let them in without checking.

In less than a minute, the waitress checked the information and put the iPad behind her back.Looking at Yang Ke with a smile on his face, he bent his right arm naturally, raised it to chest height, straightened his fingers and put them together, pointing into the restaurant: "Mr. Yang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, please come in!"

The biggest gap between a five-star hotel and other hotels is not the room configuration, but the service.

Putting away the New York guidebook, Yang Ke nodded to the waitress, and then walked straight into the cafeteria.

It's already six o'clock now. Apart from the chefs and waiters who are busy arranging the dishes, there are almost a dozen tenants in the cafeteria. They are sitting scattered, and most of them are eating quietly.

Yang Ke quickly picked out his own breakfast, two chicken Caesar salads, 5 eggs, a steak, a plate of fresh vegetable and fruit salad, and two glasses of milk.

He randomly chose a nearby seat to sit down, and Yang Ke opened the hotel's self-made New York tour guide and spread it on the table.Then, while eating slowly, he browsed the recommended attractions in the guidebook.

"Good morning, Yang?"

Just as Yang Ke wiped out half of his breakfast, a familiar and slightly surprised voice sounded in his ears, which made him raise his head.

Looking at Taylor Swift holding the plate, Yang Ke nodded and greeted her: "Good morning, Taylor."

Pulling away the chair next to Yang Ke, Taylor put the dinner plate on the table, then sat down gracefully, and finally turned his head to look at Yang Ke with a little surprise on his face: "I didn't expect to meet you here, you Why didn't you go to training this morning?"

As a friend of Yang Ke, Taylor knew that he went to the court to practice at six o'clock every morning without interruption, so he was surprised to see him in the cafeteria at this time.

Shrugging, Yang Ke said casually, "I won't train today, I'm going to take a day off."

Hearing what Yang Ke said, Taylor was even more surprised.You must know that Emma had been persuading him to take a break before, but it was ineffective, but today he took the initiative to take a day off.

Although he was very curious about Yang Ke's change in his heart, Taylor had no intention of asking. He glanced at the New York guidebook next to Yang Ke's left hand, and then asked, "In that case, where do you plan to go to rest and relax?"

"I haven't figured it out yet. I'm not familiar with New York."

Yang Ke shook his head when he heard the words. Although there is a hotel-made tour guide for reference, there are too many recommended attractions on it, and he doesn't know where to start since he is not familiar with the route.

Although it has been nearly a year since he moved to the United States, Yang Ke trains very hard on weekdays, so he has no time to visit other cities except San Antonio, where the Spurs are located.

And every time he followed the team to the away game, the game time was too tight, and it was impossible for Yang Ke to spare time to familiarize himself with the local road conditions.

Taylor reckoned in his heart, and found that there should be time, so he volunteered: "In this case, why don't I take you for a stroll."
