ace marshal

Chapter 514 Christmas, the eve.

"Congratulations~!! Finally, you don't have to see you sitting on the bench with a listless look after the game starts,"

After finishing his day's work, Lan Shengli left the training hall and was on his way home when he saw Westbrook who had also left the training hall and was about to go to the dormitory, so he said.

Listening to Lan Shengli's words, Westbrook didn't respond for a while, but looked at Lan Shengli with a puzzled expression.

"Ah~!! I know what's going on, it turned out that you gave Holland the idea, let me enter the starting lineup~!!!"

Westbrook said in a suddenly enlightened tone.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to thank me, as long as you seize this opportunity~!!"

Lan Shengli said in a half-joking tone.

"Bru, you are really a god!!"

Westbrook sighed.

"Since I came to UCLA, I've talked back and forth with that stubborn old man many times, but he always rejected me, especially in the previous offseason, when he had already given me a starting commitment. Next, I will give up the draft. This deception actually made me really hurt. If it wasn’t because you found Love and made the team look like it still has some combat effectiveness, I’m really already preparing for the transfer. ,,"

Westbrook continued, his eyes starting to get wet.

"I told you before that gold will always shine. You have to believe in this. The opportunity that belongs to you will come sooner or later~!! Now this opportunity is here~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"Thank you, Bruce, the incident at the nightclub was also thanks to you. Before I knew it, I owed you a lot, haha~!!"

Westbrook controlled his emotions of crying, and smiled in a helpless tone.

"What you owe me, put it on the court and return it to the team, let the team know that you are worthy of a starting position, and let them know that my suggestion is right, so that the team can recognize me, it is you who treat me The best reward~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

Westbrook listened, nodding.

"Leave me to practice with me for a while at night, today I am really full of energy~!"

Westbrook asked.

"It's not a coincidence today, there are guests at home, you know, it will be Christmas soon, everyone is busy~!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Okay, then go get busy, I'll take a break and find Lefu to practice more~!!"

Westbrook said.

"Well, come on, prove yourself to the whole United States and the whole world in the Christmas battle~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

After the two people shook hands and greeted each other, they went their separate ways.

"Thank you so much, Bruce~!"

Westbrook stopped, turned his head, looked at the back of Lan Shengli who was hurrying away, and said affectionately.

The reason why Westbrook is so excited may be because he thought that his substitute process for more than a year has been too difficult and too long.

In addition to coming off the bench in all games this season, Westbrook only started five games last season because of Collison's injury, which is pitifully small.

And this time, he was also the starting player in name and aboveboard.

Here, Lan Shengli drove back to Dawei's house quickly, and the guest he was talking about was naturally Byron who had returned from Dallas.

Since Byron came back, he basically followed Dawei to do morning exercises during the day.

"Finally I can have a partner to accompany me~!"

With Byron around, Dawei's motivation for morning exercises also increased.

During the day, Byron basically buys Christmas-related things. In addition to food, Christmas trees, lanterns, etc. need to be purchased and carefully selected by himself.

Because Dawei and Lan Shengli are both very busy, Byron has also become the "man of the house".

After the purchase, it still needs to be installed and arranged. Anyway, Byron is busy all by himself.

"It feels like I've come to Santa's house~!"

Lan Shengli, who returned home, looked at the "colorful" landscape in front of him and sighed.

When it was time for dinner, Dawei and Lan Shengli would of course make something delicious to reward Byron.

That night, the three of them ate steaming hot pot.

"I miss hot pot every day in Dallas, really~!! I think it's the best Chinese food, and it's my favorite~!!"

Byron looked at the mutton slices boiling and tumbling in the pot, and said that his saliva was already drooling.

"Don't say it's you, even many Chinese people love hot pot~!"

Dawei said, putting some vegetables and fungi.

"Winter should be like this, I have the opportunity to take you to China and eat the most authentic hotpot~!"

Lan Shengli also put meat into the pot and said.

"Hey, if I stay here for a few more days, I'm afraid I've forgotten about Dallas and my job,"

Byron shook his head, sighing.

"Don't think so much, the most important thing is to enjoy the moment, the meat is ready, eat it~!"

Dawei looked at the bloodless piece of meat and said.

"Wait~!! Wait~!!"

Just as Byron was about to pick up some meat, Lan Shengli interrupted him suddenly.

"Before the meal, I'll give you two something, it's my Christmas present to you two~!!"

As Lan Shengli said, he put his hands behind his back, obviously preparing for a "surprise".

When Dawei and Byron heard about it, they immediately put down their chopsticks and waited for the surprise to come.

"Hey, the tickets for the Christmas game between UCLA and the University of Memphis that you have been thinking about are here for you~!"

Lan Shengli took his hand in front of him, stretched it towards Dawei and Byron, and said with a ticket in each hand.

"Okay, Victory, I knew you wouldn't let me down~!! Haha~!!! That's great~!!!"

Dawei looked at the tickets and said extremely excitedly.

"Remember to buy tickets on my website next time, there are discounts~!! Haha~!!"

On the contrary, Byron, who had a "work emotion" for the ticket, was not too excited, but just teased.

"It's a pity that I'm free, haha~!"

Lan Shengli also responded jokingly.

"And it's a VIP seat, you can't buy it on your website~!"

Lan Shengli continued talking, reminding him.

"Haha, who told you that you are an insider, this is called "the first thing you get when you are close to the water"~!"

Byron said with a smile.

"Haha~!! Byron, you haven't forgotten your Chinese~!"

"And there is a sense of progress, haha~!!"

Dawei and Lan Shengli followed suit.

"Stop talking, let's cook, the meat is almost cooked~!"

"Come on, let's serve dinner~!"

"Let's eat~!"

The three of them ate lively, and the festive atmosphere became more and more intense.
