Chapter 22 Good Opportunity
Xiang Chu did not go to the nightclub in the end. He had not achieved victory or defeat yet, which was the open-mindedness of military affairs. Perhaps he could adjust his professional mood faster if he played longer.
There are fewer games in college, so it will be depressed for a few days to lose one game. There are many professional league games, so this is definitely not the case.
When I practiced the next day, Artest and Bynum were obviously in a bad spirit.
But their bodies were strong enough and they quickly adjusted.
When Kobe is in a good mood, everyone will train with talk and laugh. When Kobe is in a bad mood, everyone will train with serious training. Xiang Chu is very adaptable now, but in fact he is much more freer than when he was in college.
After returning to his residence after training, Xiang Chu found something was wrong.
A strong man was talking to Olivia inside. Xiang Chu thought there was a bad guy and almost rushed over and beat him up. When he heard the conversation between the two, he realized that it was the landlord.
"Please, you only need to wait for another month... no, half a month."
"Miss, I'm easy to talk to. Someone told me that you asked someone else to live there. This is a violation of the agreement. If the rent is not timely, I will have no choice. This is Los Angeles, and some houses here want to rent."
"Big man..." Olivia saw Xiang Chu outside the door, with a pitiful look like an abandoned puppy.
Xiang Chu regretted not turning around and left. It was so embarrassing to meet the real landlord like this.
The landlord was very upset, "What, I'm still calling someone. Tell you, I'm a regular at the gym."
Xiang Chu immediately smiled and said, "Sorry, I just arrived in Los Angeles not long ago and I didn't have a place to live. If it was not suitable, I immediately went to find another place to live."
At this time, you should have a good attitude. Frequent guests in the gym are not afraid, and others can call the police.
The NBA player was taken away by the police and asked, which may increase the popularity value, but he doesn't want this.
"You are...you are the Lakers' event?" the landlord suddenly asked.
"I am Xiang Chu, hello." Xiang Chu greeted him in a regular manner.
The landlord immediately became enthusiastic, "Xiang, you look stronger than on live TV. Our whole family is a Lakers player. I like to watch you play, very manly."
"Thank you for your support, I will work hard to help the team win." Xiang Chu looked scheming.
Xiang Chu is a Lakers team, and the landlord immediately became generous and said that the rent is the same. How could he keep Lakers players from nowhere to live?
However, the look he looked at Xiang Chu was full of the smell that men understood. Obviously, he misunderstood the relationship between Xiang Chu and Olivia.
The other party said he didn't want rent, so Xiang Chu would definitely not take such a small advantage. Besides, the guy who rented the house was Olivia, which had little to do with him.
He first gave a quarterly rent, which is three thousand dollars, which was lent to Olivia.
Then he took a very happy photo with the landlord and signed the other party.
The landlord left for a while, but Olivia hadn't reacted yet.
Judging from the performance of the landlord, the big man is like a star.
Xiang Chu shook his hand in front of her, "Why are you still standing there? You owe me three thousand dollars. As for the three-month rent, you have to pay me one thousand five hundred dollars."
Only then did Olivia "wake up" and said, "Big man, thank you so much. From today on, I will work two jobs and will return the money to you soon."
"Well, if you are sincere, please help me wash some vegetables. I want to make a vegetable salad."
"Oh, can I eat it too... No, big man, are you a Lakers player?"
Olivia doesn't pay attention to sports, but she must know that the Lakers are all star players. Isn't the Lakers very rich? How could anyone come to share the loan with her? She clearly saw a big man playing a two hundred dollars game on the street.
"You can understand if you look online?"
"Then, before..."
"The NBA was suspended for a while this summer. I was the rookie selected by the Lakers. Come here early to get familiar with the environment and keep it in shape when playing jungle ball."
Olivia didn't understand at all and just thought it was a piece of mucus, so she immediately went online to check the news.
The big man is indeed a Lakers player, and she has also been on several news stories and pictures, which she is so envious.
"Big man, isn't the life of a star very complicated..."
Olivia suddenly became hesitant, which made people feel uncomfortable. Xiang Chu was speechless, "It's not complicated, it's just playing basketball."
"I know, you are just playing basketball, but in fact you are not just playing basketball, just like... no matter what, celebrities need help to help you concentrate on doing things. Big man, can I help you? I'm very smart, and I can guarantee that you can save all kinds of trouble and play basketball with peace of mind." Olivia said enthusiastically.
Xiang Chu had no expression on his face, "No."
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Olivia squeezed out a smile.
"Don't listen."
Xiang Chu refused decisively. Olivia went to the room angrily, but not long after, she was hungry and ran out again. She was working hard for a while and usually ate in the store. Today, she was called back by the landlord, so she could only whisper and have a meal.
Xiang Chu has to play the game the next day, but it is just home court, and rest and training will not be delayed.
The Rockets are visiting the playoffs, the team on the edge of the playoffs.
After Yao Ming retired, the Rockets were the outside team. Their main scoring points in the interior, Luis Scola basically pulled out to shoot. The other major players, Kevin Martin and Kyle Lowry, are all defenders, and Golan Dragic, the first firepower on the bench, is also a defender.
This is the weakest team in the inside that Xiang Chu has encountered in the NBA, and he is full of expectations.
Moreover, the Rockets also have two rookies to fight, Marcus Morris and Chandler Parsons. The joking war on social media has escalated. Many rookies in the 2011 year have joined in, so Xiang Chu is naturally fearless.
The Rockets have strong offense from the outside, but their defense is average.
After the two teams' matches began, the Lakers did not play purely in the inside because Kobe wanted to save face.
The Nuggets' defense was very successful in the last game, because they couldn't meet the Nuggets for the time being, so they could only spread their efforts on the Rockets. Who made them meet?
The Rockets' current lineup does not have a real center, so naturally they can't win the rebounds, and the outside defense is not very good, so the Lakers play very comfortably.
Xiang Chu wished he could play immediately. Such a weak inside player should let the main player rest well, and it would be enough for him to come.
However, when he was on the field, the Rockets' serious center Samuel Delhamport had already played.
Xiang Chu felt the deep malice, and it was targeting him.
Kobe's shot missed, Xiang Chu took the lead and rushed to the basket, jumping up to make a make-up dunk.
