The next morning, Sun Ce rarely woke up until eight o'clock. Last night, his mother asked him various questions until the early hours of the morning... Mainly, he asked if he could have a girlfriend safely now... As for playing basketball.

The incident itself seemed normal to my parents, because they were already very good at jumping in China, but they never expected that they would send their son to the United States to experience the corruption of capitalism, and he would actually become a world-class athlete and represent the country in competitions.

However... the fact that their son is a national team player is just a way for parents to talk about bragging. Especially in a country like China with a national sports system, domestic reporters pay more attention to Sun Ce himself; on the contrary, many foreign reporters

I often go to Sun Ce’s hot pot restaurant to experience it, take pictures, and send it to their country as news.

There is still a big gap between the sports industries of the two countries. For example, if many top domestic athletes do not make much money during their careers, it will be difficult to make ends meet after retirement.

When Sun Ce got up, the two elders had already left home to go to work. The hot pot restaurant business was also very good in summer, especially as the summer vacation was about to begin and there were more tourists.

At first he couldn't figure out why the hot pot business in Chengdu was so good in the summer. As a Chengdu native, he hardly ate hot pot in the summer because the weather was so hot, and he still smelled like hot pot after eating it.

Later I learned that many hot pot restaurants in Chengdu cater to outsiders and tourists. No matter what month it is, you have to try hot pot. If you don’t eat hot pot, it’s like you haven’t been to Chengdu.

There were porridge and steamed buns left by his mother in the refrigerator. Sun Ce microwaved them and started eating.

While eating, I habitually browse the news on my phone.

There are less than 3 days left before the free market officially opens. NBA teams are extremely quiet. Almost all management activities have stopped. Since the end of the draft yesterday, there have been no new transactions and free agents.

The news of the next home selection was exposed, and it was eerily quiet!

So I could only speculate on Evans' transaction over and over again.

The details of the transaction were revealed one day after the transaction. In addition to sending the second pick, the 76ers also sent Judy Meeks, a shooting guard who just finished his rookie season, veteran center Tony Barty, and a future player.

Second round pick.

The more details of the transaction are revealed, the more the Kings management will be criticized.

Other than this, major media can only predict which free agent is more interested in which team.

On the contrary, the forum is even more lively. Lakers fans have just won two consecutive championships and are at their peak. Their fans are watching the excitement.

Yao Ming's fans feel that they have never been so rich. If they have nothing to do, they go to the Lakers fans to argue about who is better, Nowitzki + Yao Ming or Odom + Yao Ming + Bynum.

Chandler's best season before was when he averaged 10+10 points per game with Paul. In most years, he didn't average 10 points per game. He spent most of his time on the bench. At this time, not many people thought of him.

How awesome.

Sun Ce feels that the two teams should be about the same. Even if the Mavericks have Yao Ming, who has the strongest defensive dominance in the three-second zone at the center position; Chandler has good pick-and-roll defense capabilities and strong assist defense capabilities, but they cannot play together and must be defended.

It is unlikely that the Lakers will have twin towers, so there are restrictions.

And the combination of Yao Ming and Nowitzki is...invincible on the offensive end!

If anything, Sun Ce feels that their Black and White Bears are similar to the Mavericks' twin towers. They can shoot from a distance on the offensive end. Randolph is better than Nowitzki in the low post, and his long-range shots are weak... quite a bit.

Cavaliers fans currently firmly believe that their James will not leave. Sun Ce estimates that once James leaves, there will be no Cavaliers fans.

They Grizzlies fans... In fact, his fans are even more ridiculous. When Lakers fans, Mavericks fans, and Cavaliers fans quarreled, Grizzlies fans would come to act as troublemakers...

After breakfast, Sun Ce felt that watching the fans quarreling was much more interesting than watching the news.

Sun Ce didn't have any plans today. He just planned to have dinner with his parents at noon and evening. The rest of the time he just wanted to laze around at home and didn't want to do anything. He had to go to a promotional event in a few days. When the promotional event was over, he was about to go to the national team.

The report is not far away, and I still have to think of a reasonable reason to complete the Super 666 Devil Training Method during the training camp.

Before going to report for the national team, Sun Ce wanted to take a good rest and talk to his 18-year-old sister about life and ideals when he had time. How nice it would be.

However, he couldn't take any time off. While he was lying on the sofa watching the replay of My Fair Princess, which was replayed every year on Mango Channel, his cell phone rang.

"Who is this? The boss? Why is he calling?"

After Sun Ce answered the phone, after listening to what the other person said, he got up and changed his clothes helplessly...

I just saw Xiao Yanzi almost shot to death by Qianlong next door. I haven't seen many scenes of Jinsuo yet, so work is coming again!

…

…

Once again, we took a very uncomfortable taxi ride. This time we arrived at the city hall. We had to huddle in the taxi because it was an important matter.

Grizzlies owner Robert Pera and president of business operations John Hollinger came to Chengdu with Hollins coach Randolph, Battier, Gay, Conley and other players, along with Memphis.

City Hall officials.

The purpose is to discuss cooperation with the Chengdu government.

Sun Ce mainly went there to drink tea with him, and it would be better to have a local celebrity accompany him.

Although most people actually don't know what celebrities there are in their city, politicians think this is very important.

The goal of the Grizzlies team is to open up the market in Sun Ce's hometown and get permission to let Panda be the image ambassador of their team.

The Grizzly Bear City Hall aims to establish a sister city with Chengdu and promote large agricultural machinery.

At first, the Grizzlies City Hall was just to help the Grizzlies increase the chances of renewing Sun Ce's contract after his contract expired, and to help Sun Ce's hometown. But when I got to know Chengdu, I found that Chengdu is a plain! It is too similar to Memphis.

!

Then we need to cooperate even more.

The Grizzlies want to start by using the panda as an image ambassador. If the response in Memphis is good, they will change the team mascot to a panda.

Originally, he even wanted to change the team name, but if he changed the team name, he would have to pay a large amount of trademark fees every year... Robert Pera finally gave up.

The licensing fee for using panda as the team name is too expensive, but the fees for using the image of the image ambassador and mascot are still acceptable.

Some people came to the local ecological park in Memphis and wanted to spend money to introduce pandas to Memphis. The local environment in Memphis was good, the price was reasonable, and it was conducive to promoting Chengdu's international image, so they got permission from the Chengdu government.

Sun Ce did not expect that his team and the Memphis City Hall would engage in so many vain things, but for his hometown and Memphis, these are mutually beneficial. For example, if the country lacks agricultural machinery technology, Memphis provides it.

This is generally not developed in China because China's geographical environment has changed too much and there are few plains. There are too few plain areas like Northeast China.

If Memphis wants to sell mechanical products and technology, if it wants to introduce pandas and get the rights to use its image, Chengdu can provide them.

However, it is true that Sun Ce came here to drink tea today, and he did not participate at all in the negotiations and discussions on these matters.

And this is not something we are just talking about now. As early as the regular season, John Hollinger, the team's president of business operations, and the Memphis City Hall have already been communicating with the Chengdu government on this matter. Now they are mainly talking about details and signing.

Sun Ce was chatting about pandas with Randolph, Guy and others in the rest area. While chatting, he waited for the contract to be signed and went to the panda base to hold a press conference. Reporters from China and the United States had already arrived in Chengdu.

Preparations are being made at the Panda Base.

Randolph and Gay are very interested in pandas and are envious of Battier, who was invited to the panda base to hold a panda when he was with the Rockets. Conley remains calm.

…

While chatting casually, Sun Ce's cell phone rang again.

Who is it this time?

Sun Ce took out his phone and saw that it was his little brother...

Sun Ce answered the phone and said, "Stephen, why did you suddenly remember to call your brother?"

Curry on the other end of the phone was used to it and did not refute. He responded: "I have just participated in Nike's event in Chengdu. I will go to Wuhan with the star team tomorrow. I'm fine tonight. Didn't you say you wanted to invite me to you?"

Do you want to eat at the restaurant at home? You seem to have no activities today?"

Curry's side is a group endorsement event with potential stars, and he will do some promotional activities during the break between promotions by Kobe, James, Sun Ce and others. He happened to be in Chengdu yesterday and today.

Sun Ce almost forgot about it, but Curry actually still remembered it!

Sun Ce suddenly became energetic and said quickly: "Of course there is nothing, even if there is, I will put away all those things! Let's have dinner together tonight?"

Hearing Sun Ce's positive voice, Curry felt pretty good, but also felt a little weird, and responded: "Okay, I live here at the US Consulate..."

After Sun Ce wrote down the name of the hotel, he immediately called his father: "Old man, I have a brother coming to have hot pot tonight. Help me prepare duck blood, brain flowers, chicken feet, duck intestines... By the way, remember to tell me

When the waiter serves the dishes, he will serve beef, mutton, pork, and vegetables first..."

Sun Ce was a little depressed because his leisurely day was interrupted, but now he doesn't care about those details at all.

"Noah, do you want to invite Curry to dinner?" Randolph came over in a dark voice.

Seeing the words "Why didn't you invite us" written on Randolph's face, Sun Ce was helpless. God knew you would come! He didn't even notify him in advance and only called on the same day.

The Grizzlies management must know Sun Ce’s activity time. People from Bill Duffy’s agency helped order the flights and drinks, but Sun Ce doesn’t know the team’s business arrangements!

and……

Sun Ce asked: "Do you really want to go to my house to eat hot pot?"

Randolph and Gay, as well as Battier and Conley, all nodded quickly.

Because Sun Ce and his cheap dad used Chinese...Sichuan dialect on the phone, the teammates didn't know what Curry was about to experience, but they were envious of Curry, which was a bit sour.

"Our hot pot restaurant is very scary, don't regret it if you go there!" Sun Ce said deliberately, trying to dispel the terrible idea of ​​his teammates finding a trap by themselves.

Who knew that Shane would answer the question at this time: "Noah, you are worried that we are afraid of spicy food, right? It doesn't matter, I have eaten your authentic hot pot several times before..."

"Sean, is the real hot pot spicy?"

"Yes, Noah may be afraid that we can't eat spicy food!"

"It's okay, as long as it tastes good..."

Sun Ce was helpless when he heard his teammates discussing the spiciness level! He didn’t want to cheat his teammates... He immediately dialed his father’s phone number again: “Old man, there are three people who are taller than me tonight and one who is over 1.8 meters tall.

The meal is coming soon, so be prepared to order more dishes. The dishes I mentioned earlier will be served last, remember..."

…

Chapter completed!
