Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 32 Team Building
Originally, when Frank was entertaining guests, the rookies thought that Frank would choose a big hotel, but they never thought that Frank would lead everyone across the Bay Bridge to Chinatown in San Francisco.

Since other people were also driving their own cars and following Frank's car, although they had doubts in their hearts, they couldn't ask.

On the contrary, Li Weisi, who was sitting in Frank's co-pilot, looked at the increasingly familiar scenery, frowned and asked, "Are you going to Chinatown?"

Frank said nonchalantly: "Of course, I haven't eaten Chinese food for a long time, and I miss it very much!"

Li Weisi regained his composure, nodded, and stopped asking about the matter, but shouted again: "Slow down! It's too fast!"

"..."

The training hall is about 30 kilometers away from Chinatown. Since the road is almost all along the No. 1 road, it is very easy to walk, so it only takes less than 30 minutes to get there, but this is the original after all.

50 minutes later, Frank and his party came to Chinatown and parked the car at the entrance of Baiweiju.

After everyone got out of the car, they looked at the surrounding environment and frowned in unison.

Rodman was still whispering to Duckworth: "Is our boss so stingy? He actually took us to eat Chinese food?"

Duckworth quickly shook his head and said, "Not at all, our boss is the most valuable in the entire NBA, so he won't care about such a small amount of money..."

While the two were muttering, Frank took the initiative to say: "I'm sorry, I want to eat Chinese food recently, please have a meal with me, although this restaurant is decorated in general, but the taste is really good!"

Naturally, no one dared to point out the meaning of Frank's words. After all, everyone's ulterior motives are not about drinking. Do you really think that everyone is here for dinner?

Oh, Li Weisi really came to eat.

Walking into Baiweiju, because it was a meal time, there were many more guests than when Frank came last time. Both Li Wantang and Aunt Niu were busy, and I really didn't see Frank and others for a while.

Fortunately, except for Frank, everyone is tall and burly, and Duckworth is 213cm in height. When entering the hotel gate, they all stooped in. After entering, they stood up straight and their heads almost reached the ceiling. up.

Such a group of "giants" came in, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked sideways at the group of people who came in. Several young giants recognized the identities of these people.

"Damn it, it's a Warriors player, my God!"

"How could they be here?"

After the commotion was caused, Aunt Niu noticed the guests who came in, recognized Frank and Li Weisi at a glance, and said hello quickly: "Hey, Frank and Weisi are here, you sit down first, I will go to the kitchen and call the boss!"

"Don't worry, you guys are busy. I'm here to take my players to dinner. Don't let uncle come out again. I'll take a menu and order something for you later. For the country? Why are you the only one in front?" People?" Frank stopped Aunt Niu and said.

"I went out to buy goods, and the store can drive. He is the only one, and no one else can help."

"Oh, that's it!" Frank rolled his eyeballs, and then said with a smile, "Okay, Aunt Niu, then you are busy and don't worry about us."

Looking at Frank's familiar appearance, I didn't know, I thought this was Frank's home!
Unlike Frank's casualness and Li Weisi's indifference, the other rookies were uneasy. Although Frank was their age, they always felt uneasy when facing the team owner.

Price and Hornacek are relatively stable on weekdays and don't talk much. As the last rookie selected, and a rookie with no guaranteed contract, he is not on the same level as the group of big shots around him. Naturally, he dare not Many BBs.

Although Rodman seemed to want to show off Li Weisi, he was actually an introverted child. After being educated and praised by Li Weisi, he sat obediently on the chair and was very quiet.

In this way, the task of breaking the peace fell on Duckworth. In order to live up to the name of the duck, with the encouragement in the eyes of Price and Hornacek, Duckworth finally said boldly: " Boss, you seem familiar with this place, don't you?"

"Just call me Frank!" Frank looked at the big man who was more than [-] meters tall, who was sitting restrainedly opposite to him at this time, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't be nervous, today is just taking everyone to dinner. I'm about the same age, don't treat me as a boss, just be a friend!"

It's just that Frank's words didn't have much effect. After all, they were just children who had just left school and suddenly stepped into society.

"The owner of this store is West's father. I often eat here. It tastes great. The Chinese food here is not what you eat like General Tso's chicken and fortune cookies. It's real Chinese food. It's hard to find in San Francisco. of."

"This store belongs to West?" Everyone was very surprised and turned their attention to Li Weisi. In their view, Li Weisi's temperament was incompatible with this place, and it was difficult for them to connect the two.

At this time, most of the Americans had a negative impression of the Chinese. Stereotypes such as poverty, low quality, and ugly appearance influenced the thinking of most Americans through various channels.

And Li Weisi is a product of hybridization. Although his skin is yellow, his nose and face shape are a bit biased towards the perception of Westerners. Coupled with Li Weisi's daily speech and behavior, they can obviously feel that Li Weisi has received a good education and is completely different from the gangsters in Chinatown. Not the same, it is hard to imagine that Li Weisi was born here.

"Is today a cheat meal?" Scanning everyone's reactions, Frank glanced at the menu again and turned to Li Weisi.

The so-called cheat meal refers to the group of people who insist on exercising and diet control, usually choose one meal a week that is not on the daily diet list, but they like to eat high-calorie and high-carb foods.

"no!"

"Today can be!"

"It's really not today!"

After the two exchanged words, Frank was helplessly defeated, shaking his head, and the pencil drew on the menu: "In this case, I will restrain myself, you will eat your eggs, chicken breasts, and then look at us Eat well!"

Li Weisi rolled his eyes at Frank in disdain, but he unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

In fact, Li Weisi liked to eat the food cooked by his father since he was a child, but in middle school, in order to achieve his physical fitness as soon as possible to reach the school team level, he reluctantly changed his eating habits, which has been until now.

Occasionally, I can eat my father's handicrafts for a cheat meal, but Li Weisi still doesn't touch pork, deep-fried and the like.

"West, so you've lived here since you were a child?" Duckworth asked Li Weisi again. This guy is really good at enlivening the atmosphere. With him in the room, it won't be cold. It can be called a warm-up king.

Duckworth's words also attracted the attention of other rookies present. After all, they were also very interested in Li Weisi's growth and wanted to know what kind of growth environment could give birth to a freak like Li Weisi.

"In fact, I only stayed here until I was 8 years old. After my parents divorced, I lived with my mother, but occasionally I still came back to see my father."

"So that's the case! Sorry, I don't know uncle and aunt..." Duckworth apologized.

"It's okay, it was a long time ago." Li Weisi really didn't seem to care at all.

"Okay, just order these, and I won't show you the menu. You can't understand Chinese anyway!" Frank stood up with a smile, and handed the menu to Aunt Niu.

While everyone was chatting, Rodman was a little restless, which caught Frank's attention.
