Chapter 405
405. Society, my brother Dong
Facing the media, he made no secret of his fighting spirit and released a declaration of resistance.
Facing his teammates, he was strict, cold, and high-pressure to intimidate them, which made them more motivated. He promised to win the next game.
Facing an opponent...
"Nice to meet you, I'm Mero, Jace's brother."
Beer is polite.
"Hello, I'm Annie..."
Anne Hathaway and Anthony said hello and got to know each other.
Anne Hathaway feels that the "personality" in the sports world is even more exaggerated than in the entertainment industry. The legendary Denver mining bandit leader was a gangster, but he turned out to be so polite.
So does her warden. Who would have thought that this guy has a great dream - to take his sister to drive an excavator and have fun?
"Mero, you came here when you said you would, and why did you bring so many gifts... Hello, Nene, long time no see."
Liu Xiu took the stack of gifts from the hands of the ruthless porter Nene, which was taller than Nene's.
Anthony couldn't keep his yuppie temperament and roared: "Just give it back to me if you don't want it, it cost me tens of thousands!"
Liu Xiu decisively carried the gift and walked into the house. Anne Hathaway smiled and invited the two guests into the living room.
The two nannies carried the two children to the living room, and Anne Hathaway introduced the names of the two children.
Anthony was extremely envious, he was so awesome, he gave birth to two children at once!
He planned to go back and work harder to have a baby. On Christmas more than a month ago, he was not beaten in the Christmas war, and he did not become the loser. He successfully proposed to his celebrity girlfriend Lala Vazquez... He won! He
My fiancée’s status is even bigger! A real big star!
It's just that when it comes to giving birth, he feels like he will lose.
He actually checked and found that the probability of having twins was 1.1%.
The two children stayed in the living room for a while and started to make noises. They looked very excited. Liu Xiu knew that the two children were sleepy and asked the nanny to take the children to bed.
Anthony asked in surprise: "So the child is sleepy when he is so excited?"
Anne Hathaway laughed and said: "My mother was the one who took care of the child before. I didn't know that the child suddenly became excited because he was sleepy. I thought it was Jess who didn't want to coax the child, so I complained to my mother about it. My mother said
When I was a child, I would get into trouble whenever I felt sleepy, and then I realized that children can’t sleep on their own.”
Anthony should remember the knowledge points quickly. He may have to take the exam in the future.
After memorizing it, Anthony asked: "Where are your parents, Jess? Why aren't they here?"
"Prepare dinner in the house over there, let's go there too..."
After hearing this, Anthony went to look through the pile of gifts.
"This is for Jaylen, this is for Anna, this is for you, Annie..."
After Anthony divided several gifts, the ruthless porter Nene stacked the gifts again and hugged them.
Anthony has known Liu Xiu for a long time. He knows some Chinese habits. When he came to Liu Xiu's house this time, he knew that Liu Xiu's parents have been living in China. He paid special attention to respecting his elders. For example, he could not call his elders by their names in person, otherwise
You will feel that something is wrong, and it will affect the family relationship. The kind of shouting will affect your whole life. Anthony attaches great importance to this, but he does not ask his teammates to do the same, but he cannot ignore it. These teammates speak freely.
So he chose a method - let Nene be a ruthless porter.
But Nene is not only a wild and somewhat brainless person in the game, but also a bit stubborn in life. Now he has played the role of a porter without saying a word...
Driving to Liu Xiu's uncle's and aunt's house, Anthony started another trip to build a good impression.
The first is to give gifts.
Fortunately, Liu Xiu's uncle, aunt, and sister have known each other for a long time, and Anthony has a certain understanding of their preferences.
Qing'er received a set of excavator Lego and was so happy that she flew into the air.
My aunt received a set of massage cushions. This is a new high-tech product.
My uncle got a new razor again, the one with gold rim, which was higher quality than the one given by his nephew. He felt very 'pleased' and stopped struggling with the gift. In a few years, it is estimated that
I will collect all high-end razors from various brands, I just hope they will release new products faster.
Liu Xiu's parents, Anthony, didn't understand and didn't know what gifts to give, so they chose a few expensive things.
Liu Xiu's mother said, "Come here and bring any gifts." She took the gifts away smoothly.
Anthony's communication skills are very good, which is different from James's communication skills that are close to businessmen. It is also different from the rich second generation like Kobe who received elite education. Anthony is more social.
Liu Xiu's mother is nagging at home, and Liu Xiu's father is aloof, understanding of football, and the elder's way of communication. Anthony can all have a good conversation together. At this moment, he is a good boy in the eyes of his elders, although he is a bit dark.
, but his appearance is quite in line with Chinese aesthetics. Mainly because he can speak nice words and is very popular with his elders.
Anthony arrived at Liu Xiu's house at 5 o'clock in the evening and left after dinner at around 7 o'clock. He was able to meet Liu Xiu's parents for the first time without being silent throughout the whole process. He was worthy of being my Dong brother in society, and Liu Xiu admired him very much.
It’s Qing’er who works hard as a translator.
No, it’s not a job, there’s no salary, it’s not illegal employment of child labor, it’s an exercise for Qing’er’s translation skills!
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not talk about basketball-related matters.
Anthony came to Liu Xiu's house because he wanted to get to know Liu Xiu's family. He had always been curious about what kind of family could cultivate a talent like Liu Xiu. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu's mother was very warm and hospitable, and Liu Xiu's father was the kind of person who looked after Liu Xiu.
The type who is strict but will secretly watch his son's games in private and have a lot of fun.
So, Liu Xiu's character that needs beating is really self-taught.
…
…
It’s the last day of the month again, January 31st, and the game day is here when the Trail Blazers play the Nuggets at home.
With 8 consecutive wins and the team's momentum, the Trail Blazers coaching staff is certainly very happy.
only……
"That brat is causing trouble again!" The vice president was so angry that when he talks about renewing the contract in advance next year, he will definitely use the boss's money to hit him hard to let him know how powerful he is!
The coach was quite happy: "No problem, Kevin. In fact, this is also a good thing. It keeps the motivation of the players. In the middle of the season, in addition to paying attention to injuries, we must also pay attention to the motivation of the players."
The vice president lost his temper a little: "You're right, we can't suddenly collapse like the Kings last year. Then the mentality of the young players in our team may be affected. I think the most important thing about the collapse of the Kings last year is psychological.
Question...Maurice, do you think I worry too much now and always worry so much?"
Hollins responded: "Boss, you are right to worry. Last year our team could rush without fear with eyes closed. I worked for the Grizzlies last year, and the same was true for the Grizzlies. Faced with all difficulties, we just thought
Hard steel.
But after we had a very successful season, we need to have such concerns."
Coach: "Leonard is right!"
Hollins ignored the coach: "Look at the Grizzlies, their young stars have also made great progress. Currently, Gasol is stronger than Zach, and the role player lineup is also very strong, but their season
The strategy is stability, and they want to use Gasol and the role player lineup to attract an outside star to join. I heard that their target is Ray Allen, so their playing style has not changed, but their playing style has been replaced by the strong players.
The team is fully aware that this season's performance has declined significantly compared to last season.
But when we have concerns, we will focus on our bad areas and make positive adjustments to prevent the warden from taking over everything. We will introduce gloves with a solid and steady style of play to help the warden adjust his playing style and tactical structure...
…We rely on these to stay in the first tier of the highly competitive Western Conference and not fall behind!
And boss, we will worry about these and pay attention to details that we would not pay attention to before. This is a reflection of our confidence as we become stronger. You have done a great job."
The vice president's work experience is still not rich enough. He has only been an assistant coach for a few years. He relied on his excellent draft vision, steady and down-to-earth character, extremely strong sense of responsibility... and other advantages to win the boss's appreciation and become the team's second in command. In fact,
With little operational experience, most of the work still depends on general manager John Nash.
At this time, the chief assistant, who is almost bald and has been a teaching assistant, consultant, assistant for many years, is more experienced.
The vice president learned something again today.
After Hollins finished speaking, the coach responded strongly: "I think the same as Lionel!"
Neither the vice president nor the chief assistant wanted to talk to the coach who was becoming more and more slender.
The disgusted looks from his colleagues deeply hurt the coach's heart.
He used his brain and said: "The warden's troubles will definitely irritate the opponents, but in fact it is not a big problem. We have won 8 games in a row. As long as we continue the winning streak, every opponent will have a strong desire to defeat us."
, it just becomes more intense.
It is difficult for us to put forward a clear goal at this time to stimulate the motivation of the players. This 10-game winning streak goal is actually a good thing for us..."
The coach's words made sense to the vice president and assistant coaches, but they felt as if they had said nothing at all. However, they were somewhat resentful and angry at first, but now they have the same goal - 10 consecutive wins, and they are sure to win!
…
Yesterday was a rest day, and the team did not arrange any training. However, in the afternoon, some players came for extra training. Three young players, Outlaws, Randolph, and Kwame Brown, came for extra training.
At that time, they felt some irritability from some management or coaches. You don't have to guess, it must have been caused by the rhetoric of "guaranteed to win 10 consecutive games."
But today the players did not feel that kind of pressure and irritability. They felt that the goals of the coaching staff were consistent with theirs, they were as excited as them, and they were of the same mind. As a result, everyone was in an extremely high mood to prepare for the game. The preparation efficiency can be said to be the highest after the Christmas game.
Good time.
Not only the coaching staff and players are united, but also the Trail Blazers fans!
At 7:40 pm, the player exit ceremony began at the Rose Garden Arena. Anthony, who was playing away from home, encountered perhaps the most violent boos since he entered the NBA when he walked out of the court!
Chapter completed!
