Chapter 250 Vacation in Europe
After the draft, the teams in the NBA stopped a lot, big deals did not appear, and small deals continued.

McHale's inaction in the draft is a bit incomprehensible. It can be expected that the Timberwolves, who have many potential players, will definitely trade and strengthen in the summer.

Regarding the center position of the team, although Nikola Pekovic is an outstanding player, judging from the negotiations with Panathinaikos, it seems that the Montenegrin still has no chance to play for the Timberwolves in the 09-10 season. Once the team fails to renew Anderson's contract, the team will not have a qualified starting center next season.

Zheng Ke hopes that McHale will go to Greece in person to resolve Pekovic's contract issues.On this point, members of the Timberwolves' management team are still discussing. At the same time, they will continue to send scouts to check Pekovic's physical condition, and make a final decision after weighing.

After participating in the draft, Zheng Ke and Taylor officially put the European vacation trip on the agenda.

After the two returned to Minneapolis, they began to pack and prepare to leave the United States.This trip to Europe was a plan decided very early on. Taylor also read a lot of travel guides and materials for this purpose. The two did not invite other people to travel together. This time, they hoped to enjoy the world of two people.

"Do we start from the north or from the south?" Taylor asked Zheng Ke, pushing the huge sunglasses on top of his head and holding a map of Europe in his hand.

Zheng Ke rubbed his chin. He didn't feel much about it. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "You make your decision. I think it's the same wherever you go. I haven't been there anyway."

"Then let's start with England!" Taylor's green fingers slid across the map, and then settled in London, England, "How about going to London first? It's a fashion capital with many years of history. It's also the number one place in Europe. Big city and economic hub, I've always wanted to go there."

Zheng Ke also has expectations for London, "I heard that London has a large number of places of interest and museums. It is a good choice to go to London first."

"By the way." Taylor looked up and saw Zheng Ke, "Do you want to take Xiao Shuang away? It's pathetic for him to be alone at home."

"This is a problem." Zheng Ke now remembered the difficulty of having a baby, and seemed to have some troubles wherever he wanted to go.He walked back and forth a few steps, and then made a decision, "I won't take him out, but who will take care of him?"

"You can let my parents take care of it, they are talking about Xiao Zheng Shuang all day long." Taylor immediately thought of the most suitable candidate, and the two solved another problem.

"Our trip this time must be hidden. If the paparazzi find out, it will be more annoying." Zheng Ke also imitated Taylor and sat on the floor, sitting on the oversized map of Europe.

"Yeah," Taylor pouted at the mention of the paparazzi, "they're everywhere. I hate it."

"Haha." Zheng Ke laughed: "Last time, they took pictures of the two of us being intimate. I didn't expect that in Los Angeles, instead of taking pictures of Hollywood stars, they would stare at the two of us instead. It's really interesting."

Taylor blushed when Zheng Ke said it, and gave him a blank look, "It was all your fault that time, well, we didn't even wear sunglasses when we went out, and we had to stay in the car. Oh, I don't want to talk about you."

Zheng Ke was super thick-skinned, and said indifferently, "Anyway, they didn't take a clear picture, a bunch of scum who don't know how to use a SLR."

"Let's not talk about this, when will our air tickets be booked?" Taylor asked.

"I have already talked to Jeff (Schuwartz), and he said to help us arrange it as soon as possible. I guess it will be the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."

After everything was almost arranged, Taylor was a little emotional.

"Oh, it's the first time I've visited these places, and I'm a little excited when I think about it."

Looking at the cheering Taylor, Zheng Ke showed a smile. He stretched out his hand to wrap around Taylor's slender waist, stroked her hair gently, and said, "What's the matter? From now on, we will travel every year, every summer go on holiday."

"Hmm." Tyler replied softly, lying in Zheng Ke's arms.

Going to a place, what Zheng Ke hopes most is to understand and observe there by walking.In one month in Europe, Zheng Ke and Taylor traveled to more than a dozen countries.

It starts from London, England in the north, Lisbon in Portugal in the west, and the Sea of ​​Love in Greece in the south.Starting from the mysterious castle tour, the two traveled all over ancient Europe with great interest, met a Spanish bullfighter, and heard the howling of the Aegean waves.They touched the giant windmills in Holland and boarded the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy; they took all kinds of strange sightseeing cars and boarded old-fashioned dilapidated green leather trains.

In Paris, France, basketball is a very popular sport, perhaps influenced by Parker's outstanding performance in the NBA. People here, in addition to talking about the ubiquitous football in Europe, also talk about all kinds of NBA.Of course, there are also many basketball fans who support streetball here. After Zheng Ke came here, he felt the atmosphere of French streetball.

As a kind of basketball culture, streetball has its unique features.It advocates dazzling moves and passing the ball with unrestrained imagination. It is not as competitive as the professional league, but it attracts the attention of fans through gorgeous performances. Even Zheng Ke watched it. A feeling of unblinking.

In Greece, Zheng Ke saw the outstanding basketball atmosphere of teamwork. He also inspected Pekovic of Panathinaikos with McHale who came from the United States.In the training hall, Zheng Ke got off the field in person and experienced Pekovic's basic skills.

Overall, Pekovic is a very good instant player.

He has extremely good close-in attack power, a very stable bottom plate, excellent power, and amazing tonnage. With a height of 2 meters and a weight of nearly 11 pounds at 131 kilograms, this is definitely a heavyweight athlete in the era when pure centers in the NBA are almost extinct.

Of course, Pekovic's shortcomings are also obvious, such as slow footwork, poor defensive assistance, no face-to-face offensive skills, and so on.However, these problems can be improved through training. Such outstanding talent has determined that Pekovic can survive in the NBA's muscular inside line. The inside line composed of him and Love can collect all backcourt rebounds.

So McHale made a decisive decision, and after negotiating with Panathinaikos for a few days, he bought out the remaining contract of Pekovic at a price of 300 million euros, so that Pekovic can successfully report to the Timberwolves next season.

Subsequently, Zheng Ketai and McHale separated in Greece and continued their vacation trip.

On the beach by the Aegean Sea, Zheng Ke and Taylor shot a large number of photo albums together.Even after giving birth, Taylor's figure is still sexy and hot, which is beyond the reach of many Asian women.Not to mention Zheng Ke's figure, bronze-colored skin, eight-pack abdominal muscles with clear lines, and biceps brachii with exposed blue veins on his arms are like horned dragons.

Two years ago, when Zheng Ke first entered the NBA, he was a skinny young man with a thin body. Now his body is gradually getting stronger. Although he is not as thick as James, he is not far from players like Kobe and Tracy McGrady.

Zheng Ke's leopard-like body attracted the attention of a group of rotten women on the beach of Love Sea. Although he was wearing sunglasses, he was still glamorous. Many beauties with hot bodies and bikinis came to strike up a conversation with Zheng Ke, completely ignoring Lying on the chair aside, Taylor was a little annoyed.

Zheng Ke usually shook his head with a smile, then turned his head and pouted in the direction of Taylor, indicating that he already had a female partner.The beauties came giggling, and after getting disappointed replies, they left with the fragrant wind.

Taylor tugged at Zheng Ke's waist muscles and gritted his teeth: "Are you very proud?"

Zheng Ke showed innocent eyes, and spread his hands to show a little helplessness, "It's nothing."

"Humph."

Taylor couldn't pinch the muscles in Zheng Ke's waist, shook his hand angrily, reached for the drink on the table, and took a big swig bitterly.

Seeing that Taylor was really angry, Zheng Ke immediately squatted down and posted it cheekily: "Oh, my mistake, I shouldn't go out to attract others."

After saying a lot of good things, Taylor forgave Zheng Ke's high-profile behavior, "Since I was forced to do so on the beach, I will forgive you this time. You are not allowed to take off your clothes in the future, not even on the basketball court!"

Men undressing and women undressing will attract the opposite sex. Taylor thinks Zheng Ke's behavior is a bit dangerous, so he directly prohibits Zheng Ke from using it again.

Zheng Ke immediately had a big face, embarrassingly like McGee.

Immediately, Taylor was overjoyed, laughing loudly on the chair regardless of the image of a lady.

Taylor has never been so happy since he was a child. He didn't have to think or do anything. He walked around every corner of Europe holding the hand of his beloved.She looked at Zheng Ke's resolute face like a knife and an axe, and thought that she would go on with him like this until her face got old and turned into loess.
