Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 18 Los Angeles Lakers

The day after the game against the Raptors, there was no game. Due to the tight schedule and three consecutive away games, Coach Westphal did not arrange for the team to train on this day, but chose to give the team a break. One day off, let everyone adjust their status.

Since Tyreek's Chinese restaurant opened, Tyreek has decided to eat at his own restaurant once or twice a week.After all, most of the time, they eat nutritional meals tailored by the team's nutritionist. The taste is really unflattering. It is purely for nutrition, so when there is no game or training, Tyreke will Will go to satisfy the appetite of the next appetite.

Because of the popularity of the name Tyreke Evans in Sacramento, the business of the Chinese restaurant is booming. At the same time, since Tyreke invited his teammates to dinner last time, several people have also become enthusiasts of Chinese food, and they come to the restaurant from time to time to feast .But this is also due to the chef in charge of the restaurant, who is really good at cooking.

The name of the master chef of Tairuike's Chinese restaurant, Penglai Restaurant, is Xu Dayou. Master Xu is a Chinese-American who grew up in Sacramento. He is in his early 50s and is a very energetic middle-aged man.He is keen on sports, and often keeps fit so that he still maintains a good figure when he is over half a century old. With a height of 1 meters, he looks much younger than his actual age.At the same time, he is a die-hard fan of the Sacramento Kings, so he applied as soon as he saw the recruitment information.Master Xu has been a chef for nearly 85 years. He used to work in a popular Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles. He can skillfully cook several cuisines. He is a local and a Kings fan, so he was immediately attracted by Tyreke. In the photo, he was left to be the master of the spoon.

It has been more than a week since the Penglai Pavilion opened, and Tyrek drove to the Penglai Pavilion at noon this day.Because the business was booming and there were too many customers, there was a queue at the door of the store. Tyreke's appearance at the door would inevitably cause a sensation, so he went upstairs from the back door of the restaurant through the back kitchen, and came to the box specially set up for himself.

"Boss, what do you want to eat today?" Master Xu, who was busy in the back kitchen, saw Tyreke and followed him upstairs.

"Master Xu, the business is so good, but you are the master cooker, can the back kitchen survive without you?"

"No problem. The skills of the masters in the store are not bad. I have taught them a few of my special skills in the past two days. They can handle them well. I'll go and have a look later."

"Okay, I've only eaten twice in the past week since it opened. Let's try something new today. Braised big abalone fin with rice, steamed grouper fish, half fried chicken, and boiled kale."

"Boss, you are an American, and you are really good at ordering Chinese food. Fortunately, I am best at Cantonese food. Okay, I will go and cook it myself." After speaking, Master Xu went down to prepare, Tyreke looked around I created a personal box for myself, thinking that there will be a big meal to enjoy immediately, I can’t help but feel a sigh of relief, now I have my own restaurant, I can eat whatever I want, it’s so cool to be rich!

About half an hour later, Master Xu brought out the dishes himself, "Boss, I used new ingredients to make the broth for today's braised abalone fin. Try it, it's absolutely delicious!"

Master Xu dragged out the chair next to Terek and sat beside Terek. Terek was just about to taste it, looked at Master Xu with wide eyes, and murmured: "Master Xu, don't you want more? Watch me eat?"

Master Xu quickly waved his hand, and said with a silly smile: "Why, I just want to talk to the boss."

Tyreke put down the spoon in his hand and looked at Master Xu. Master Xu leaned closer and said, "Boss, yesterday the NBA officially announced the best player of the week. You led our team to 4 victories and your personal data perfectly won the Western Conference. Best, you know that, right?"

"Uh, I went home to rest after the game yesterday, and I really didn't pay attention to this news."

"Boss, this is the first week in your career. I am proud of you as an employee!" Master Xu looked excited, and he looked at Tyreke and continued: "Boss, I grew up in Sacramento. Since the Kings moved to Sacramento in 1985, I have been a die-hard fan of the team. I am also happy that the team has won 4 consecutive victories, but the next game is a huge challenge for you, the owner!"

Master Xu picked up the teacup on the table, poured a glass of water, took a big sip, and continued: "The Los Angeles Lakers are finally going to meet a strong enemy..."

Tyreke suddenly thought of something, and asked solemnly: "Master Xu, didn't you work in Los Angeles before? What do you know about the Lakers?"

Master Xu was puzzled and said, "Boss, I'm just a fan. How can I know? You played against the Lakers a few times last year. You know a lot more than me..."

"Uh, just talk about it, I just want to hear the fans' voices..." Tyreke said awkwardly, he didn't remember the experience of playing against the Lakers.

"Well, I am also an old fan after all. Although my favorite is the hometown team Sacramento Kings, I often go to Lakers games when I work in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is a big city after all. In the past few years, the Lakers When the record was mediocre, every time I went there was a sea of ​​people. Not to mention the Lakers who have won two consecutive championships, tickets are hard to buy, and the Lakers have superstars like Kobe Bryant, which is a guarantee of box office. Today’s The Lakers are the real masters of the king. They are in full swing and aim to win three consecutive championships. Although the two core Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol are still over [-] years old, they are still at the peak of their careers. The game against the Lakers tomorrow is the real one. A battle to test the quality of our team!"

Master Xu's face turned red, he drank another glass of water, calmed down, and said slowly: "Although the team won 4 consecutive victories before, it is not very representative in the hearts of us old fans. Although it makes everyone feel very happy, it does not mean that our team has undergone a qualitative change after one season..."

"To be honest, the opponents in these four games are big teams. We won't make us complacent. The season is still very long, and there are many real challenges. Tomorrow's game against the Lakers is the first challenge! "

Listening to the heartfelt words of Master Xu, an old fan, Tyreke also felt a little bit. The previous 4 consecutive victories did make Tyreke relax his nerves to a certain extent, forgetting that the strength of these four opponents is not counted. Strong, and Tyreke already felt a little bit of difficulty when facing Devon Harris. Tomorrow he will face Kobe Bryant!

"Los Angeles Lakers...Kobe Bryant...I'm really looking forward to it..." Tyreke muttered to himself while scooping up a spoonful of big abalone wings, and his eyes lit up, "Master Xu! The big abalone fin is too delicious! Signature dish! This will be the signature dish from now on!"
