Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 13 Dinner before the new season

After the first preseason game, Tyreke spent the next ten days in preseason games and team training.Tyreke's playing time in each preseason game is about 10 to 5 minutes. In the limited playing time, Tyreke tried his best to familiarize himself with the field and learn the game skills of other players.Soon the pace of the new season is getting closer and closer. After the last preseason game against the Utah Jazz, the Kings' preseason record is not bad, with five wins in seven games. There are still five days left. Tyreke will usher in his first NBA regular season.

On October 2010, 10, there were two days before the first game of the Sacramento Kings new season. Today, the Kings team was preparing for the last game before the season in the training hall.

When Tyreke finished his strength training, he walked to the center of the venue and said loudly: "Everyone! Everyone! My Chinese restaurant opened in Old Town Sacramento today! Come tonight everyone! My treat, before the new season we Have a team dinner together!"

Hearing what Tyreke said, Casspi, who was practicing shooting on the side, threw the ball and walked towards Tyreke, and said with a smile: "Hey, Tyreke, it's finally opened, although I don't know why you suddenly want to open a Chinese restaurant , but I have been waiting for a long time, and I don’t know what kind of Chinese restaurant you open?! Haha!”

Tyreke stepped forward and patted Casspi on the back and said, "Omi, I'll go to the store first after you and Jason bring the others."

"Okay, got it, let's go!"

Tyreke left the gym, took a shower and drove to Old Town Sacramento.

Why did Tyreke open a Chinese restaurant in Sacramento?This matter started when he just became Tyreke Evans four months ago.

After Tyreke met teammates Casspi and Thompson, the three of them went to a local training center in Sacramento to practice almost every day. Casspi and Thompson took Tyreke to eat nearby Italian restaurants and steakhouses every time. , although he said that he is Tyreke Evans, but his ideology is still that ordinary Chinese junior!Eating Western food every day still made Terek very uncomfortable.

On this day, Casspi and Thompson took Tyreke to a newly opened burger restaurant at noon. Tyreke looked at the huge beef and ham burger on the plate in front of him, and couldn't help feeling greasy in his stomach.Suddenly he thought, although he is still in the rookie contract, but the annual salary is several million dollars, he can open a Chinese restaurant by himself!It not only satisfies my own dietary needs, but also adds my own celebrity effect, which is also an industrial investment!The more Tyreke thought about it, the more he felt the necessity of this matter. He slapped the knife and fork on the table, and said to Cassby and Thompson beside him, "I want to open a Chinese restaurant!"

Cassby and Thompson looked up at Tyreke, as if seeing something strange, stared at Tyreke for a long time, and finally Cassby asked cautiously: "Um, Tyreke, what's the matter?" , do you want to eat Chinese food? When did you have this idea?"

Tyreke glanced at Cassby and the others, took a bite of the burger and left the shop, leaving Cassby and Thompson looking at each other
Tyreke is not an ordinary person after all, he is also an NBA star and a big celebrity in Sacramento. Soon Tyreke found an ideal store in the old town of Sacramento.The original owner of the store was also a fan of the Sacramento Kings. Knowing that the buyer was Tyreke Evans, he offered a family price without saying a word.After taking over the store, Tyreke handed over the decoration of the restaurant to his second brother Reggie. After training, Tyreke will also come here to participate in the design and explain his layout arrangement. The decoration style of this Chinese restaurant is extremely simple, just like In the restaurants in ancient China, Tyrek wanted this kind of feeling, this kind of feeling as if he was in Chinatown.At the same time, Tyreek recruited chefs among the local Chinese and placed job advertisements throughout California. Because of Tyreek's celebrity effect, Tyreek soon found an authentic Chinese chef.

The decoration and staffing of the Chinese restaurant have been basically completed. Tyreke stood at the gate, looking at the empty plaque. What name should the restaurant have?

Time went back to the evening of October 2010, 10. Today is the opening day of Tyreke’s Chinese restaurant. After all, it is a celebrity restaurant, or a Chinese restaurant opened by an American star. Local reporters from Sacramento came to interview.Tyreek wore a festive robe and mandarin jacket to unveil the restaurant. As Tyreek tore off the red cloth on the plaque at the gate, three gilt characters came into view——Penglai Pavilion!

As the unveiling ceremony was completed, journalists stepped forward and surrounded Tyrek.

"Mr. Evans, may I ask why you suddenly opened a Chinese restaurant?"

"Um...I'm passionate about Chinese culture recently"

"Mr. Evans, why is it named Penglai Pavilion? Is there any meaning?"

"Penglai Xianshan, do you know? It is a fairyland, which means that the dishes in my restaurant are quite delicious." Tyreek said solemnly. In fact, Terek used the pinyin initials of his name in his memory, and finally thought of " Penglai" is a very Chinese word.After all, he is Tyreke Evans now, and he feels the need to remember his lost name.

"Okay everyone, today our team is holding a mobilization dinner before the new season at my restaurant, and I'm sorry. Today's audience is 500% off! Those who spend more than [-] US dollars will get a signed jersey from me as a gift!" Tai After Rick finished speaking, he took three steps and two steps to the box where his teammates were.

As soon as the door was opened, Whiteside stood up and yelled loudly: "Brother! The hot pot in the middle is too exciting! There is such a fetish!"

Cousins, who was sitting next to him, pulled him down, "Hey, I think this white chicken is not bad, it looks light, and it tastes different."

"This squirrel mandarin fish is amazing. The fish can be cooked like this! It's a pity that I can't use chopsticks well."

"Tyreke, I love this vinaigrette! To die, the offal tastes so good!"

When a group of people saw Tyreke come in, they scrambled to express their opinions. Whiteside beckoned Tyreke to sit on the main seat.

Tyreke picked up the wine glass, "I will use our Chinese people today..., oh no, I learned the habits of the Chinese people at the dinner table, everyone raises the wine glass, this is the Moutai I imported from China, everyone have a drink Pleasure."

"After drinking this glass of wine, what is the goal of our team this year?!"

Everyone looked at each other, and Casspi whispered, "Playoffs...?"

Tyreke stretched out his finger and pointed at Casspi, drank the wine in the glass, and said: "Omi is right, we will enter the playoffs in the new season!"

Everyone drank the wine together and shouted loudly: "Playoffs! Playoffs! Playoffs!"
