Stephen hurriedly and secretly called his parents to unify his voice. After hearing this, Shi Xiangdong scolded Stephen on the phone. He dared to run around with such a good job. He was not honest at all. Directly asked Stephen to go to the coach to admit his mistake, but Stephen's mother snatched the phone. On the phone, Stephen's mother told Stephen, don't be afraid, if someone asks, he will definitely respond according to what Stephen said, so he can rest assured.

When it was almost noon, Carlesifi informed Stephen to go to the coaching staff's room. Stephen knew what had happened as soon as he heard it. Don't talk about it, it must be this guy who told the secret, although he hated Carlesimo to the core , Stephen still put on a smile, but how could he hide his thoughts from Carlesimo, when he walked to the door of the room, Carlesimo turned his head and smiled at Stephen and said, "Stephen, you know, I This is for your own good, you have a lot of potential, you have an unbelievable future, I don't want you to be able to control yourself, you are young, young people make mistakes, God forgives, don't be afraid, tell the truth when you are inside , don't tell lies."

"What did you do last night?" Sitting in front of Popovich, seeing Popovich with a face as cold as ice, Stephen felt nervous for a while. How should I say it? The nonsense that I made up, Stephen’s mind is constantly fighting between heaven and man. If the coach finds out that he is lying, it will not be a crime. If it is true, the reason is really hard to say. .

"My parents are in Charlotte. It's the first time I've been back here since I went to Los Angeles last year, so I went to see my parents. Since it was too late, I thought I wouldn't bother you guys. , thinking about coming back sooner, and you won’t find out.” In the end, Stephen decided to tell a lie, because he was afraid that Popovich would be even annoyed if he told the truth.

"Oh, so your family is here? I thought you were from Los Angeles?" Popovich really didn't know about this situation. Stephen's birth information is not Charlotte, and his basketball career started in Here, so he really didn't know that Stephen's parents were here. In this case, Stephen's reason outside was justified. After all, it was normal for him to go to see his parents when he returned home for the first time since he hadn't been back for so long.

"If this is the case, you can be forgiven for violating the team's regulations, but if you violate it, you have violated it. You must be punished, otherwise it will be unfair to others. Are you willing to accept the punishment?" Popovich In the end, he decided to let Stephen go, but it depends on whether Stephen really knows his mistakes and whether he has the heart of repentance.

"I am willing, no matter what kind of punishment, I am willing to accept." In any case, I made a mistake first, no matter what punishment I deserve, and I also lied.From this point of view, Stephen really has no reason to ask for anything.

"Well, when we were discussing just now, it was originally decided to impose a five-game suspension. What do you think if it is reduced to three games?" Popovich looked at the other members of the coaching staff, and everyone else rushed at him. Nodding his head and letting him figure it out, Popovich announced to Stephen.

"Sanction for three games, okay." Such a punishment is really not serious, but it has a greater impact on Stephen. He has just entered the team's substitute lineup, and then won the last game With the stats of [-] points plus, this suspension, everything has to start from scratch. It would be a lie to say that I have no regrets in my heart, but it is no use regretting what has already happened.

"This suspension is considered internal to us, so we won't notify the team, and you won't be deducted from your salary for these three games. You're still sitting on the sidelines in your jersey, but don't expect me to send you on the field. Seeing Stephen being so obedient, Popovich looked remorseful and couldn't bear it. Thinking about Stephen's living conditions, it seems that his living conditions are not very good, so let's be more accommodating and don't deduct his salary, otherwise it will violate the ball According to the team's regulations, the team has the right to deduct the corresponding salary according to the number of suspended games.

"Thank you, coach. I will definitely not violate the team's regulations in the future." Although the salary for the three games is only tens of thousands of dollars, it is a good intention no matter how they say it, Stephen still showed a grateful expression, When Stephen was about to turn around and leave, Popovich suddenly took out a few tickets from one side and handed them to him: "Here are some tickets. Since your relatives are here, you can take them to watch the game. Even if you can't play, you have to watch."

Stephen gratefully accepted the tickets in Popovich's hand, there were about a dozen tickets, but he was depressed in his heart, he couldn't even play, and why did he let his relatives come to see it? Didn't it make people look ugly on purpose?

During training in the afternoon, Stephen looked a little listless, but the members of the coaching staff knew what happened and thought he was unhappy because of the suspension, but they didn't expect that Stephen was really sleepy. I can't even lift it up.

In the evening, Stephen officially asked for leave from the team, and then returned home. In order to welcome his son's arrival, Shi Xiangdong closed the restaurant in advance, and came home specially, cooking a large table for his son. The son called and said he wanted to eat the food at home, so he naturally comforted his son.

After handing over the tickets to his parents and letting them go to watch the game tomorrow night, Stephen gave them some money, whether it is to expand the business, or to save it for spares. Anyway, Stephen told them that he doesn't need them to worry about it in the future up.

In this regard, Shi Xiangdong is very much like a traditional Chinese father, who doesn't feel ashamed at all of spending his son's money, but Stephen's mother is very touched. Her son knows how to give money to herself after making money, so naturally she Very happy.

After Stephen's mother left, Shi Xiangdong pulled his son over and said, "After you left, the policemen came over several times, saying that they suspected that you were related to the drug trafficking case Wick participated in. Wick was also determined to resist arrest after drug trafficking, and tried to Assaulted the police, found several packets of drugs from him, said it had your and Johnny's fingerprints on it, I told them you went to Los Angeles to go to college, and your aunt is a barrister, they will never again coming."

"Then do you have any news about Johnny?" The dead are worth cherishing, but the living should be cherished even more. Stephen is very concerned about Johnny's whereabouts. When he left last time, he heard that he joined the army. There was no news, and Stephen didn't dare to ask his father on the phone, so he asked at this time.

"I saw Johnny's father on the way one day, and he gave me a note with Johnny's e-mail number on it, asking me to give it to you, saying that Johnny is serving in Afghanistan now, and he is now a corporal .” Shi Xiangdong took out a note from his body and handed it to Stephen.

"Secretary? This guy is amazing." Stephen wrote down Johnny's email address in his mobile phone, and while talking to his father, he tentatively sent an email to Johnny, because he already got the coach With the approval of the team, Stephen was able to stay at home, lie down on his original bed and have a good sleep. Of course, it would be better if the bed could be longer. Seeing that his son has grown so much in more than a year, Shi Xiangdong blamed himself very much, wondering whether he was too harsh on his son at the beginning, and never fed his son enough. Stephen even persuaded him, saying that he just trained hard, and then his appetite increased greatly, and then he grew again so much.

After waking up in the morning, Stephen suddenly thought of a brilliant idea, so he arranged for his father to prepare, and he called a few people he knew well, and called them over to eat at his father's place at noon.On the one hand, let them taste the delicacy of Chinese food, on the other hand, it can also increase their relationship with each other.

Stephen only called Brent Barry, Robert Horry, and Van Exel. Who knew seven or eight of them came, including Duncan, Michael Finley, and Bruce Bowen. Shooting coach Engelland also came.

In this way, the materials prepared are not enough. Stephen hurriedly asked his mother to purchase, and at the same time asked his father to add a few quick and convenient dishes. People are not unhappy at all. Seeing so many big stars appear in front of their eyes, they are patronizing and feasting their eyes.

Over the years in foreign countries, Shi Xiangdong has long mastered the tastes and hobbies of foreigners. Many dishes have been improved, although when he eats at home, they are still mostly original. The first dish is Longjing Shrimp, which looks snow-white. The pink shrimps are dotted with emerald green Longjing. The fragrance of tea leaves and the smell of shredded shrimps blend together, exuding a heart-warming fragrance.

This is Shi Xiangdong's special skill, and it is usually not easy to reveal. Of course, this dish is also the most expensive in his small shop. Generally, people who come here can't afford such an expensive dish. Duncan tried it He picked up the chopsticks, and the chopsticks used by ordinary people were like two toothpicks in his hand. He tried several times but failed to pick up a shrimp.

Except for Van Exel, everyone else is full of praise for this dish. Stephen knows that Van Exel has a unique taste, but there is no way to do it. There is no one dish that can suit everyone's taste, so There are only so many local cuisines in China. When Stephen was young, he was forced by his father to memorize the recipes. At that time, he was very resentful, why there are so many different dishes and methods in Chinese cuisine.

The second dish is sweet and sour pork tenderloin. No matter the sweet and sour taste or the bright appearance of this dish, it is more suitable for their taste. Soon this dish was completely eaten, and Van Exel this time He ate a few pieces, but Duncan stopped eating after one piece.

Then there is Kung Pao Chicken, which is also a very popular dish in foreign countries. Each dish is served with crab powder lion head, scallion fried lamb, oil-braised prawns, chestnut-roasted cabbage, tomato sauce beef, and black pepper beef tenderloin. Come up, Stephen has to introduce. Although he doesn't know how to cook these dishes, he can still speak clearly and logically.

After the dishes were served, there was soup and noodles. The spring rolls and dumplings were unanimously praised by everyone. Finally, they drank a glass of secret sour plum juice. , Stephen should invite his father to San Antonio to open a restaurant like this.
