Chapter 59 Rest
Philadelphia and San Francisco are more than [-] kilometers apart, and a direct flight takes more than five hours.

Unlike his rich teammates who live in the center of San Francisco, Du Zhe, who has a relatively small family background, has moved to Oakland, where the rent is slightly cheaper.

Of course, in the San Francisco Bay Area, the rent in Oakland is only a little cheaper.

However, after landing, Du Zhe will have to follow the team bus back across the sea to Auckland.

Calculated in this way, this journey will take him six or seven hours.

Fortunately, there is still a time difference between Philadelphia and San Francisco. According to the local time in San Francisco, it was only after noon when Du Zhe arrived home.

In this way, he still has half a day to rest.

After a brief shower and a free team lunch, Du Zhe lay on the bed, ready to catch up on sleep.

No matter how comfortable the hotel bed is, it is not as solid as the hard bed at home...

As for training?Let training go to hell today!
Although he is a well-known training madman in the team, Du Zhe also knows the importance of combining work and rest.

Especially after this devil's road trip, he had already faintly felt that his body was almost at its limit.

At this time, if you force yourself to continue training, once you get injured, the gain will outweigh the loss.

And Du Zhe still wants to play [-] or [-] seasons in the NBA, competing with his son!Naturally, he would not do such a stupid thing.

But where does the son come from, it can only be realized in a dream.

Having such a sweet dream, he soon fell asleep.

…………

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

I don't know how long it took, but Du Zhe vaguely heard a faint knock on the door.

Since he had drawn the curtains before going to bed, it was dark in the room at the moment.

Du Zhe, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know whether it was morning or night.

After struggling on the bed for a long time, he finally found the phone.

The phone shows that it is six o'clock in the evening, and Du Zhe can't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing this time.

It's okay...it's okay...you have a whole night to rest.

He was really worried just now, afraid that when he woke up, it would be early in the morning the next day.

In this way, he had to go to the arena to train and prepare for the upcoming game with the Spurs.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just when Du Zhe was still on the bed secretly rejoicing, there was another knock on the door.

He quickly threw on some clothes and got up, ready to go and open the door.

After getting up, he felt that his chaotic head seemed to wake up a lot.

As he walked towards the door, Du Zhe couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart.

I have no relatives or reasons in the United States. Apart from the team's staff and teammates, I don't have many acquaintances in Oakland.

Who will come to find me at night?
And keep knocking on the door, knocking so urgently?
Thinking of this level, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Du Zhe's heart.

He just glanced at the time on the phone in a hurry, and didn't check the date and information carefully.

It shouldn't be now, the next day at six o'clock in the evening!

Then...the person knocking on the door must be a team member!
Then... why these staff knocked on the door so urgently, the answer is obvious.

Thinking of this, Du Zhe felt that he suddenly lost the courage to open the door.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. This kind of weird incident, the next day...not tonight can be poked to the media.

"The Hua Guo teenager overslept and almost missed the team game"

"Interesting Facts: A breakdown of the reasons for the strange absences in NBA history"

"Missing the team's pre-match training for no reason, the professional attitude of Huaguo Hope Star is doubtful!"

"Don't change your mind! Dig into Du Zhe's black history in the CBA!"...

He can already imagine what kind of carnival the major websites will usher in tomorrow.

Du Zhe is well aware that those media can do anything for the sake of traffic, and if they hold you high in the sky today, they will trample you under their feet tomorrow.

And although he has recently reversed his reputation among fans with a few good games, his foundation is still too shallow after all, and his weight in the eyes of fans and the media is obviously not enough.

If this kind of thing is really reported, coupled with the media's embellishment, then he will definitely become the laughing stock of fans in China and even the United States.

Not only that, but his situation must be considered a violation of team discipline, and it is impossible for the team to remain indifferent to it.

Thinking of disappointing his coach and teammates who had always trusted him, Du Zhe couldn't help but add another layer of burden.

That's right... Now he can be regarded as half of the boss of the team, but he, the boss, did such a stupid thing... This is really stupid!

Du Zhe began to regret why he didn't set an alarm before going to bed.

From the bedroom to the door, there are only a few steps away.

But Du Zhe's heart was like a roller coaster, experiencing ups and downs from bewilderment, to doubt, to regret.

Du Zhe felt that he had walked a century in these short steps.

And his hand finally rested on the door handle.

Holding the cold doorknob, Du Zhe took a deep breath and calmed down.

What should come will come after all, why not face it bravely like a man!

The worst case scenario is to start all over again and use your performance on the court to earn back bit by bit what you lost today.

Du Zhe's heart sank, and he was about to open the door.

At this time, there was another knock on the door, accompanied by a slightly sullen voice.

"Mr. Du! It's useless for you to avoid me like this!"

"I saw you back at noon today!"

When he opened the door, he saw a beautiful blond girl full of youthful spirit, which made Du Zhe, who was still fighting between heaven and man just now, couldn't help but be stunned.

Among the staff of the team, it seems... there is no such person...

"Girl, what's the date today?" Even though he knew it was a bit abrupt to ask, Du Zhe put his phone on the bed, and now he couldn't wait to know what day it was.

"Oh? You still have the nerve to ask, today is already December 12th!" The girl was still full of anger, but she answered Du Zhe's question without hesitation.

Fortunately, okay, the game against the Spurs will only start tomorrow... After confirming today's date, Du Zhe breathed a heavy sigh of relief in his heart.

"Today is already the 15th, but where is your rent?"

"I knocked on your door for a week, and you kept avoiding me. Do you think that my parents are going to Hawaii for vacation, so they can default on the rent at will?"

"Mr. Du, thank you for being tall and big, why don't you have any spirit of contract?"

The girl Liu Mei frowned slightly, venting her dissatisfaction towards Du Zhe like a cannonball.

After saying so much in one breath, the girl was also slightly out of breath, and even the two mountains on her chest kept rising and falling.

Now, Du Zhe finally figured out that the beautiful blonde girl in front of him is the daughter of his landlord and his wife - Jessica.

He recalled that the landlord and his wife seemed to have gone to Hawaii for the winter at the end of last month. Before leaving, they seemed to have told him to just give the rent to their daughter Jessica.

It's just that Du Zhe's away trip lasted for a whole week, which also delayed the payment of rent.

Du Zhe, who knew he was at fault, quickly apologized, and after confirming the contract, he took out his wallet and prepared to pay.

Seeing that Du Zhe's attitude was not bad, Jessica's anger also mostly subsided. Taking advantage of Du Zhe's time to count the money, she also took a look at the tenant from the far east in front of her.

She didn't pay attention to her anger just now, and she didn't realize until now that the oriental boy in front of her was tall and strong.

Although Jessica is also over 1.8 meters tall, Du Zhe is still more than a head taller than her.

As for the figure... Due to Du Zhe coming out in a hurry, he didn't button up a few buttons on his clothes, which made his sculptural abs faintly visible in front of Jessica.

This made Jessica couldn't help looking up, and she found that under the dim light, the face of Du Zhe, who was counting money, was so charming.

Of course, Jessica didn't find Du Zhe's face charming because he was counting the money, she simply found that her oriental tenant was really a little handsome.

"Here, let me count the money for you!" Du Zhe counted the money and handed it to Jessica.

Jessica, who was in a daze, came to her senses after a moment and mechanically took the money.

This made Du Zhe couldn't help but feel that his beautiful landlady seemed a bit big-hearted and brainless.

But this is also much more pleasing to the eye than those vulgar fans in nightclubs. Those are bad women who specialize in defrauding people of money...

After counting the money, Jessica coughed twice, trying to break the awkward silence.

After a while, she said, "Well... in the future, if you are short on money, you can call me in advance. I'm not an unreasonable person."

Seeing that he had been misunderstood, Du Zhe had to explain awkwardly: "I'm really sorry, I really forgot this time. In fact, I also have a formal job, so there is no problem in paying the rent monthly."

"Oh? You are so strong, are you a fitness trainer?" Jessica made a judgment based on her intuition.

"Haha! You are so accurate, I am actually a basketball player..." Du Zhe was a little speechless by the brain circuit of this beautiful landlord.

After hearing that Du Zhe was a basketball player, Jessica showed some sympathy in her eyes.

Although she doesn't pay much attention to basketball, in her impression, except for a big man, there seems to be no other yellow-skinned players in the NBA.

Looking at the entire United States, there are tens of thousands of people with excellent basketball talents. Although her Eastern tenant is quite tall and strong, it can only be said that it is extremely difficult to get ahead.

"Well...then I can only wish you good luck..."

"By the way, please leave me your mobile phone number so that I can contact you anytime if anything happens in the future."

After going around for a long time, Jessica still did not forget her main purpose.

"Oh, okay..." Since the other party is his landlord, Du Zhe is naturally willing to leave his contact information.

"Okay! Then I won't bother you, good night, Oriental boy!" Jessica smiled maturely after entering her phone number.

Then she turned around and left, while dialing Du Zhe's cell phone, she said coolly without looking back: "This is my cell phone number, you should save it for me too!"

It's just that under the dim light, Jessica was handsome for only three seconds before she was stumbled by something.

Du Zhe hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not go up to help him.

Reason told him that closing the door quickly and pretending not to see it was the most correct choice.
