Chapter 253 Another Year

The most important thing about noodles is their chewiness. It is absolutely impossible for Verus to take out noodles that cannot withstand chewing without being boiled for a while.

In order to make noodles, Verus went to the old city of Oakland countless times, two restaurants deep in Chinatown, Ma's and Chen's noodle restaurants, and came to these two old restaurants in San Francisco that have a history of [-] years. The soup is rotten and the meat is famous at home and abroad.

Lanzhou ramen needs a good guy to smooth the tendons. He beats and folds on the chopping board.

It just so happens that Verus has a great body. Even the strongest guy in the old brand can't be stronger and more powerful than him. The round bars he made always make those black-haired and yellow-skinned boys blush and feel ashamed.

Verus sprinkled oil and powder, hooked his fingers together, stretched the noodles flying, pulled and clasped, shaking his hands up and down, his arms were long and stable, the noodles were flexible and long, uniform in thickness, and when the two were as thin as 7 clasps, they were thrown into the water and stretched again If it is thinner, it will be as thick as a fan's hair. Verus is not used to that, and his heat is not enough, so pull it down to reveal his stuffing.

Put it into the water in 10 seconds, and it will rise immediately when it comes into contact with water. The bowl of soup is clear, sprinkle with diced white radish and beef, minced garlic and coriander, and a small dish of chili oil comes with it.

Within 5 minutes, eight bowls of beef ramen were placed in front of the eight diners, and the fragrance was so strong that people passing by stopped to smell the fragrance and looked around.

It's just that the access control system of Verus's small store is strict, and diners without a reservation cannot enter. First of all, the store is so large and the ingredients are limited.

Although the price Verus sells is high, in fact he sells a bowl and loses a bowl. Among other things, it is impossible to earn back the capital just by airlifting beef from Australia. The beef cattle that Old Pete helped breed in Australia are suitable for cooking. White cut beef.

Before the customer entered the store, Verus had already cooked a bowl and ate it himself. On the one hand, he was hungry, and on the other hand, he wanted to taste the taste. A real chef is only satisfied with his own food. It is a rule to make and sell it.

Entering the first NBA game in 2002, the Warriors went to Cleveland and lost 98:113 to the Cavaliers at home without any suspense. The commendable scorers are Ramond Murray and Andre Miller.

Ramond Murray, who is not well-known, made 23 of 16 shots in this game, including 5 of 3 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 40 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. He helped the Cavaliers by himself. win the game.

The Cavaliers and Andre Miller contributed 12 points, 14 assists and 5 rebounds. The Cavaliers without big-name stars averaged double figures in the starting five and easily defeated the ambitious Warriors. , like sleepwalking, defeated without any resistance.

McGrady had 24 points and 7 rebounds, Larry Hughes had 10 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Hill had 13 points, Jermaine O'Neal had 10 points, Yao Ming had 12 points and 4 rebounds, his performance was mediocre, and no one could stand up to help the team at critical moments , When the two musketeers of Medihill misfired, the basic warriors stopped.

The Warriors shot a lot of 14.3-pointers, and today they shot 4564% of their [-]-pointers. It’s no wonder they don’t lose. There are no underdogs in the NBA. Even the Cleveland Cavaliers, a small club in a small city, have a total salary of [-] this year. million dollars.

The Cavaliers lacked stars. In order to retain center Zajunas Ilgauskas, the 1996th overall pick in 20, the rookie gave him a huge contract of 6 million US dollars in 7090 years.

Big Z, whose rookie season salary was only 72 U.S. dollars, jumped to 900 million U.S. dollars in the third season, and this season it was as high as 1125 million U.S. dollars. He earned 2000 million U.S. dollars in his career.

All this is only due to Big Z's height of 2 meters. It can be seen how urgent the nba team at this time is for big men inside, and the data given by Big Z this season is 21+11+5. He came off the bench in the game and contributed 1 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assist.

Verus is very confident in the players of the team. One or two games are not important at all. The nba regular season is a long journey, and only a strong team can have the last laugh.

After the game, Verus met Yao Ming, thought for a while, and Verus asked: "Hey, Yao, I didn't want to say it at first, but I still feel the need to ask you, what is your goal?"

Yao Ming thought for a while, but before he could speak, Verus rushed to say: "I know, you will definitely say, study hard and make progress every day. People in China are always like this. Whether they are ambitious or not, they are low-key and not arrogant."

Verus continued: "But this is the NBA, this is the United States, low-key is not welcome here, although no one likes arrogance, but you have to always express your importance. Whether it is telling your teammates, or coaches, or referees and Opponents, you must stand up and defeat all enemies."

Yao Ming was stunned, and said: "Hey, Verus, thank you very much for telling me this, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I am only entering the first season of the NBA, don't you think it is a little too urgent ?”

This time it was Verus' turn to be stunned. Indeed, Yao Ming, who entered the NBA a year earlier, really didn't need to ask too much of him. No matter what, Dayao would definitely be stronger than that in history.

But Verus is not reconciled, he is afraid that Yao Ming will still be injured, and then he has to leave the NBA stage with regret. You know, it will be many years before the next No. [-] pick in the draft, at least Verus doesn't think he can wait until Next.

Verus thought about it and said: "Yao, I suggest you increase your shots per game and shoot more three-pointers. Even in the worst game you have, your shooting percentage is higher than most of your teammates. Why do you always give up your mobile phone opportunities? , in the nba, the only way to get respect is to score and win, where winning is unpredictable, scoring is something you can do."

Yao Ming entered the NBA in the first season, and his shooting percentage has always been maintained above 50%, which is higher than most of the big-name NBA scorers. The closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage. This law is definitely not wrong .

There are not no players in the Warriors who score at critical moments, but until the last moment, victory or defeat is often on the line. Verus doesn't like the feeling that he may lose.

Yao Ming led the Warriors to an advantage in the first quarter, the substitutes secured the victory in the second quarter, Yao Ming came up to get some statistics in the third quarter, and everyone clocked in after get off work and put on white towels in the fourth quarter. In this regular season or playoffs, This is the goal Verus pursues.

Building a team around Yao Ming is the only purpose of Verus, so he hopes that Yao Ming can play out as soon as possible. There is a saying in the NBA that fame must be achieved early, and big-name players can live longer in this league.
