hall of fame small forward

Chapter 42 Tickets
The preseason is all over. The Rockets, the Lakers and the Cavaliers are the three teams in the league that ended with a complete victory record. Even last year's defending champion Celtics turned over once.

But this doesn't explain the problem, just like the Spurs, which only play the main force for half a quarter. The ultimate goal of the preseason is to run the lineup for each team and help the players get back to the state. There is no team. Will work hard in the preseason, they will work hard in the playoffs
Chinchilla's performance was up and down. When facing small forwards who were still famous in the league, Chinchilla was always in the dilemma of being completely blocked, but when facing those first-year, second-year, or even third-year students, Totoro also Can perform exceptionally eye-catching.

However, even though Totoro performed abnormally in two games, he still scored an average of 6+ points per game in the entire 19 playoff games. This year's No. 20 pick Rose only scored more than [-] points per game. The Chinese performance has already won the Rockets fans. recognition.

Now on the official website of the Rockets, it is rare to see fans posting messages saying how bad Totoro is, and I don’t hear anyone discussing this deal on the street, and even when Totoro enters and exits the villa, he lives in the Chinese community. Other overseas Chinese on the street will also greet themselves in a friendly way, which are all positive signals.

"Hey, Totoro! Are you going back to Los Angeles for the opening game at Staples Center there?"

One day after the preseason, Totoro was lying on the leather sofa watching TV, but Ivy suddenly jumped out from behind and jumped in front of Totoro.

Because she was like a female ghost with a white mask on her face, and without any warning, the sudden appearance shocked the Chinese, and almost flew out the remote control in her hand.
"Why, I will go out with the team tomorrow, do you have any questions?"

Resisting the urge to press the blond-haired sister on the sofa and beat her up, Totoro replied grimly.

"It's nothing, Lufa and I will go back to Los Angeles together, you give me some game tickets, and I will watch your game with my sister then."

Seeing Totoro's cold attitude and guarded eyes, Ivy felt angry, and after snorting, she sat down next to Totoro.

"Zhucao, what are you thinking? I'm taking the team plane to the game. It's a special plane. How can you follow me up there?"

Totoro was stunned when he heard the words, what is the blonde sister thinking about?Even the head coach would not dare to bring his family members to a special plane for convenience, unless his status in the Rockets is the same as that of the Little Emperor in the Cavaliers, otherwise such a thing would not even be considered
As for the tickets, it is simple. Generally, the main players in the nba team will be allocated a few tickets for each game, so that their cheering team can come to the scene to cheer for them. He was assigned 4 tickets, but because he was unaccompanied, two of these four tickets have been shamelessly sold online by him, and now it is estimated that they have all flowed into his pocket in US dollars.

"Hmph, it's really useless, so don't worry, Lufa and I are going back to Los Angeles anyway, we have no money, you have to buy me a plane ticket!"

Ai Wei said confidently, maybe American girls don't know what politeness is.
"Hey, did I say I owe you? What obligation do I have to help you buy air tickets? What benefits do I get if I buy it for you? You haven't paid your rent for this quarter yet?"

My Neighbor Totoro was bored when I heard it, and they had really eaten themselves, and asked him to reimburse them for everything. Could it be that he was a bully?

"Oh, why are you so fierce? Of course you don't owe us anything, but think about it, you've already helped us so much, why don't you help us a little more? Anyway, it's good for you to book two tickets on United Airlines It’s not a lot of money.”

The blond-haired sister saw that the other party was angry, and she didn't dare to continue to provoke Totoro. Instead, she reasoned with him in a pleasant manner.

That's right, I've helped them so much, young master, and it seems that I'm not too bad to help them a little bit more. It really makes sense, but I'm so speechless?

"Here is 500 US dollars, enough for your round trip between Houston and Los Angeles."

Totoro sighed, and took out five Franklin cards from his right pocket.

"thank you."

Ivy smiled as brightly as a flower.

"No, here are two tickets, remember to advance."

Then when Totoro reached out and took out two crumpled ball tickets from the left pocket of his trousers and was about to hand them over, he suddenly found that the blonde sister had already hummed a ditty and turned away. Of course, she also took away the five Franklin tickets on the table.
It turned out that it was fake to go to the away game to support him. The real purpose was just to use the support as an excuse to ask him for the ticket money.
"Hold the grass and your family will be rich and prosperous!"

The anger in Totoro's heart can be imagined. Now the Chinese are thinking about whether to chase after him and get his money back. Did I feel too soft-hearted just now?
"That, Mr. Totoro."

But at this time, a soft voice came from behind, and the black-haired sister Lufa stood behind him at some point.

"Are these two tickets for me and my sister to watch the game?"

"No, you don't like basketball anyway, so forget it."

Totoro, who was in a bad mood, twitched his hand and wanted to put the ticket back into his pocket, but Lufa held it down with his hand.

Small, slippery, and tender, the skin of European and American women has always been rough, but Lufa's skin is surprisingly good, not to mention the freckles that European and American women often have on his face, and his figure is not like that of European and American women. Generally five big and three thick, but it gives people a kind of weak and small beauty of Chinese girls.

"We love basketball, you don't know, when you played summer league in Las Vegas, my sister and I have been watching live TV at home, this time we also want to go to the scene to cheer you on, so you can put the ball Tickets for us?"

The black-haired sister raised her watery eyes to look at Totoro, and the Chinese felt that the anger in her heart was instantly reduced by half.

"Hey, that, since you want it, uh, you can take it."

After hesitating for a long time, Totoro, who became embarrassed, was stunned for a long time before scratching his head and handing over the ticket.

"Thank you, Mr. Totoro, by the way, can I call you Mao?"

After getting the ticket, Lufa immediately narrowed his big eyes into a charming crescent shape, and his happy appearance was like a child who just got a teacher's praise.

"You'd better call me cat, this word corresponds to that in English."

The Chinese stared at Lufa for a few seconds, his rare old face was a little red, he turned his head and scratched his temples and returned.

In the past few preseason games, some fans have already called him cat or dragon. Of course, some foreign friends with better Chinese and English skills call him Chinchilla, but the third word is too convoluted, and the audience of dragon and cat The area is also wider, so the first two titles are the most marketable.

Rockets fans like to call Totoro Dragon the most. This word means evil beast in the West. Rockets fans hope that Totoro can destroy the enemy as fiercely as a flying dragon. Of course, the most important thing is that there is no player in the NBA who has such a title. So dragon has gradually become the unique code name of Totoro.

But for those who are close to them, such as the teammates of the Rockets, most people still call him cat. There is no other reason. can't stand it.
"Hehe, cat, this is a girl's nickname, you are so cute."

As expected, the black-haired sister smiled prettily. My Neighbor Totoro said that you can laugh as long as you laugh. After a long time, if you are not used to it, I will get used to it.
"Then cat, thank you for your ticket."

Lu Fa gently walked to Totoro's side, suddenly stood on tiptoe, and kissed Hua Yi's cheek lightly.
