I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 23 The Threesome

On the night of the 13th, after the game, the Clippers ate at the cafeteria of the Caesars Palace Hotel.

The finance that came with the team gave each player a stipend of 140 US dollars, so that the players can spend independently.

Of course, tonight's meal expenses are reimbursed by the team, so you can eat boldly with your belly open.

Stephen Curry ordered three plates of beef fried rice, two plates of smoked fish, two plates of prawns, a plate of vegetable salad and a grilled chicken.

DeAndre Jordan saw the pile of food in front of Curry, and thought that this little guy is a good player, and his appetite is really awesome.

"Stephen, you can really eat, so why are you still so thin?" Little Jordan asked puzzled.

Curry looked at the five roast chickens brought by Jordan, and thought to himself, how dare you say that I can eat them?If I'm an idiot, then you are an idiot.

"I didn't gain weight when I was a child, and it didn't help no matter how I ate it. I even went to the supermarket to secretly buy protein powder, but it still didn't help."

The thin body has troubled Curry since he was a child. He is always thinner than his peers of the same height. For this reason, he has tried various ways to improve.

"By the way DeAndre, how did you grow so tall and strong?"

“我爸6尺5（196），我妈6尺3（191）。”

"..."

It turned out to be good genetic inheritance, which is the last thing to do, Curry sighed.

In fact, his father Dell - Curry is not short, and very strong, and his mother is also an athlete.

Curry got the excellent genes of the two, otherwise he would not be able to enter the NBA, but his strength is not satisfactory.

Eric Gordon also sat down with the food, saw the plate piled up in front of the two of them, and said: "If the hotel buffet is like you, the restaurant will definitely go bankrupt!"

Curry and Jordan looked at Gordon's dinner plate, hehe, three grilled chickens, eight hot dogs, and two big hamburgers, you can shut up.

Among the three people, your face is the roundest, and in the future, it will become more and more round.

These three young players were all born in 1988, and their peers obviously have a common language, and they became good friends during the training camp.

Compared with other fringe people who are destined to come and go in a hurry, these three promising young people will obviously develop in the team for a long time and become the backbone of the Clippers in the future.

Kim Hughes also took care of the three of them very much. The team's tactics were formulated around the three of them. Curry was in charge and Gordon was a partner in the backcourt. The two played very well in the first game against the Lakers.

The Lakers' perimeter defense can't help them at all.

Inside, Jordan is the main defense, guarding the three-second zone under the basket.

However, Jordan's defense in the game did not see much power, and his blocks, rebounds, and basket protection were all average.

Eating cakes is really fun, eight out of nine.

I feel that this kid has top-notch physical fitness, but his brain reaction is always a bit slow, and he can't predict in advance when facing the opponent's surprise attack.

Kim Hughes thought to himself, this is the player named by Mr. Smart to focus on, and he needs to be trained well to improve his defensive sense.

Hughes himself was born as a center. He was a qualified backup center when he was a player. He lacked talent, but he had enough experience and skills, which was more than enough to guide Jordan.

But Hughes also knows that from the performance of last season, Jordan's biggest problem is actually his character, which is relatively lazy and not focused enough.

Sometimes the training is too hard, or the game intensity is too high and tiring, this guy will complain and feel that it is too hard.

"Mr. Smart's judgment is very accurate. DeAndre really needs to be taken care of and focus on cultivating him."

Hughes gradually understood Min Congda's guiding ideology of leading the team, and decided to implement it earnestly, focusing on cultivating the two future stars, Jordan and Curry.

At this time, the trio was eating and drinking, and three of the five roast chickens in front of Jordan had been eaten.

Gordon said: "DeAndre, did you starve to death in your last life? How can you eat so much?"

With that said, Gordon ate a beef burger himself.

Little Jordan rubbed his stomach and said, "I was really tired from playing today. I was already leading by almost 20 points. Coach Hughes still put me on the court and wouldn't let me go. I couldn't even run. Moved!"

Curry ate up the grilled fish in front of him, spat out the fishbone, and said, "I wanted to stay on the court, but the coach replaced me in the second half to rest. It was really uncomfortable."

The two of them sighed, and both thought it would be nice if we swapped.

Gordon said: "I heard that Mr. Smart went to trouble with Coach Hughes today, because Mr. Smart was very upset because of Stephen's too short appearance time."

Little Jordan said: "Yes, that's right. I thought he would be very happy when we won today, but he looked a little depressed. He even had a few words with Coach Hughes, because he blamed Coach Hughes for not letting Stephen play a little longer. .”

"Stephen, Mr. Smart is really partial to you. But you are the No. [-] pick, so you must play it out, otherwise you will lose face to Mr. Smart."

Curry nodded solemnly, and said: "Yes, that's right, he has high hopes for me. But I also heard that Mr. Smart specifically asked Hughes to focus on you DeAndre, so Coach Hughes let You hit too much."

Gordon's hamburger has been eaten, he sighed, and said: "You two guys are getting the most attention, it seems that I am the only one who doesn't care. Tell me, does Mr. Smart have any opinion on me? He doesn't care about it. Do you like me?"

Curry said: "I think Smart doesn't like round faces. He likes long faces. Are you right?"

"FXXk you."

"By the way, why didn't Mr. Smart come to eat? I remember that he has been very active in eating, and he is really good at eating."

"He locked himself in the room after he got back to the hotel, maybe he's not in a good mood?"

"You obviously won the game, why are you in a bad mood?"

"What's the use of winning the summer league. I guess he must be watching the game video in the room. He didn't watch the game in the morning."

"It makes sense, I must be watching the game video... I'm done eating the roast chicken, and I'll give you DeAndre."

"Go and get the brat yourself! Help me get another one by the way..."

The cafeteria in Caesars Palace is bound to lose money tonight.

At this time, Ada brought some food and drinks from the restaurant to the door of Min Congda's room, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Mr. Smart, I brought you your dinner, please open the door."

After a while, Min Congda opened the door, and immediately lay back on the bed.

Although knowing that the summer league is different from the regular season, it cannot really reflect the strength of Curry and the team.

But Min Congda still felt very sad when he didn't get the 200 yuan. If he didn't take advantage, he was at a loss.

When you are in a bad mood, your appetite will become poor, and you don’t even want to go to restaurants. Let’s just lie down and nourish your wounded soul.

Ada went in and put the food on the table. Looking at Min Congda who was in a bad mood, he wondered why Mr. Smart was still in a bad mood when the team won and Curry performed well?

He also asked himself a lot of questions about the summer league just now. Mr. Smart must have some foresight and thought of some more long-term questions.

Is it...

Ada suddenly thought of something, so she walked to Min Congda's side and said, "There will be a game at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, I wonder if you want to watch it?"

"Well, what game? Isn't our game at 2 pm."

"Our game is two o'clock in the afternoon, and the Grizzlies game is at ten o'clock in the morning, with Blake Griffin."

Min Congda immediately got up and said, "Is Griffin's game right? Very good, come with me tomorrow morning to see, I want to investigate and study."

Ada smiled slightly, thinking that Mr. Smart really still cares about his selection in the draft, and he wants to see what kind of character Griffin is.
