"Alright then."
Since Coach Warton had said so, what else could the players say? They could only nod in agreement. Moreover, the coach was thinking for them and the entire team, so they stopped arguing.
Clean up.
The team flew back to Los Angeles overnight.
Meng Chen received a call from his sister, Xia Xiaoyan, on his way back to his hotel.
"To celebrate big brother's victory in the competition. Big brother has won a triple-double again. Big brother is really too amazing.”
On the other end of the phone.
Xia Xiaoyan's sweet laughter could be heard.
"Of course. I'm Little Yan's brother. How can I not have some ability?”
Meng Chen smiled and said proudly.
"That's true. Meng Chen is the most powerful brother in the world.”
Xia Xiaoyan did not hide her praise. Her bell-like voice was filled with joy.
"Are you Brother Mengchen? I'm He Xinwen, Yanyan's roommate. I'm your fan and I like you a lot.”
"My name is Bai Nanzhen. I'm Yanyan's cutest roommate. I'm also a fan of Brother Mengchen."
"There's still me, there's still me"
Meng Chen frowned slightly. There were many female voices on the phone. He guessed that they might be Xia Xiaoyan's roommates or classmates, but the voices were far away and a little blurry.
At this moment, Xia Xiaoyan's voice was heard. She quickly said,""Brother, there are a few lovestruck girls here. I need to deal with them. I won't talk to you anymore today.”
"You have to take care of Yanyan too."
"Beep, beep, beep ~"
Before Meng Chen could finish his sentence, the call had already been hung up.
"This girl…"
Meng Chen shook his head slightly. Although he was unhappy that his sister had suddenly hung up, he was not angry at all.
After all, he had just arrived at the Laker. On the surface, it seemed that the players revolved around him, but in fact, it was only because of Meng Chen's strength. Outside the court, Meng Chen did not have any other communication with the players, and they were not close to each other.
In a foreign country.
Meng Chen, who had defeated the stag, scored a triple-double, and won five consecutive victories, also wanted to share the joy of his victory. He pretended to be cool for a while, but his sister Xia Xiaoyan always appeared in time.
They celebrated their brother's victory and listened to him brag about his skills.
It was so good to have such a sister.
"Ding dong!"
Meng Chen received a message on his phone.
Chen, well done. Keep up the good work!]
This was a message from Meng Chen's best friend, Lin Maoping. When Meng Chen saw it, a warm smile appeared on his face.
It was November now, and it was already early winter.
The night breeze was slightly chilly.
However, Meng Chen felt warm all over as he walked on the street.
......
The next day.
12 AM.
Meng Chen woke up in the hotel. There was no training today. It was the players 'rest time after their away trip.
Although he was awake, Meng Chen still leaned against the headboard. He turned on his phone and leisurely browsed through the latest sports news. With a glance at the major sports sections, he could more or less see reports about him.
These.
Meng Chen was already used to it.
Ignoring the news about him, Meng Chen continued to browse the news. He also knew that there had been some medium-sized news about the Alliance recently.
Dwyane Wade of the Bulls was about to go to his brother Lebrang's Cavaliers. He had a veteran salary and hoped to win another championship before he retired.
Derry Cross, who had suffered from injuries and was a dying rose, was about to transfer from the Timberwolves to the Yale Cavaliers.
After Paul left the Clippers, Griffin was also exposed to the news that he might be traded this season.
In addition.
Mike Conley, the core player of the Grizzlies, was injured in the game. The post-match injury report showed that the injury was not optimistic. He could not even give a preliminary recovery period.
Such transactions and injuries happened almost every day. Meng Chen only glanced at them casually and did not take a closer look.
About the team.
The Houston Rockets in the Western Conference were still unstoppable. In the regular season, apart from their first loss, they had won 13 consecutive victories and led the league. Even their fierce battle with the Warriors not long ago ended in victory.
Last season's regular season MVP, Russell Westbrook's Thunder team, was in a good state at the beginning of the season. Westbrook also continued to average triple-doubles.
Top three in the east.
The Celtics, the Sixers, and the Raptors were the three biggest teams. Their record was far behind the teams behind them, and the fourth place was the Cavaliers, which was also a team that could not be ignored in the finals.
"The Rockets."
When Meng Chen saw the news of Huo Jian's 13 consecutive wins, his pitch-black eyes emitted a faint light. There was also a majestic aura of Nirvana in them.
" Huh?!"
At this moment, his phone rang and interrupted Meng Chen's thoughts.
"Hello,"
Meng Chen greeted the unknown number politely.
"Hello, Meng Chen. I'm Morey, the general manager of the Rockets. I'd like to ask you out for a meeting.!”
On the other end of the phone.
Mo Lei's polite and respectful voice rang out.
"Mo Lei?"
Meng Chen thought that he had heard wrongly. When he confirmed the news, he could not help but sneer in his heart.
Meng Chen was not stupid.
Mo Lei's sudden call at this time could only mean one thing. However, Meng Chen did not point it out. Instead, he asked the obvious,""What is it?"
"First of all, I'm sorry for rejecting you from joining the Rockets last time. I know you must be a little angry about this.”
A little?
Meng Chen was very angry.
The Rockets simply denied it, but Meng Chen wasted a lot of his sister's hard-earned money. This made Meng Chen extremely angry, but he just listened and did not interrupt.
"Then, let's get down to business. We heard that your short-term contract with the Laker is about to expire. Since you like the Rockets, we are willing to invite you to join us and work together for the championship.”
"If you have time, can you come out and meet me? When we discussed the contract back then, the salary would definitely be satisfactory.”
"What do you think?"
Mo Lei's attitude was very respectful, as if he was talking to a leader. Everything was based on the leader.
"Are you done?"
Meng Chen asked indifferently.
"If you're done, we'll meet up for the rest."
"Then let me tell you, I'm not interested in rockets.”
Beep beep beep ~
After saying that.
Meng Chen hung up.
Yes, it was.
Meng Chen, a rookie who had just entered the league, refused the invitation of the general manager of the league's top team and hung up the phone rudely.
He was just so unyielding.
The Meng Chen of that day, you all ignored him, but the Meng Chen of today, you all are unworthy of him.
