The world of basketball

Chapter 115 Carlin, Happy Birthday
Mu Xiaobei woke up early in the morning with a sore back, but a good mood.

He and Carlin are going to visit Ad, and Ad has decided to undergo surgery the day after tomorrow. Mu Xiaobei feels that as Ad's junior and apprentice, he should visit the boss.

This time Ade was much more relaxed than when Mu Xiaobei visited him last time. After all, one cannot always be immersed in negative emotions. This will not only hurt the body, but also make life worse and worse.

After leaving Ade's house, Mu Xiaobei asked Carlin to go back first, while he drove to Duncan's house by himself.

As a senior and a mentor, although Duncan is unwilling to admit that he is Mu Xiaobei's mentor, Mu Xiaobei often comes to consult Duncan when he encounters problems.

In terms of closeness, Yao Ming is also very close, but after all Yao Ming is far away in China, and there are many things to deal with, Mu Xiaobei feels that he should not disturb him often.

When Mu Xiaobei arrived, Duncan was taking care of his beloved car. When he saw Mu Xiaobei coming, he stopped what he was doing.

Mu Xiaobei stripped off his whole body, put on a swimsuit and swimming trunks and jumped into Duncan's big swimming pool. It seemed that he had some eccentricity. When Mu Xiaobei came to Duncan's house, he often swam twice in his swimming pool.

Because swimming is Duncan's fourth favorite hobby besides basketball, car, and music, the swimming pool at his home is very large, and someone will come to take care of it every two days.

"I know what you're going to say—" Duncan was interrupted by Mu Xiaobei before he finished speaking.

"I don't even know what I'm going to say, how do you know?"

As soon as Mu Xiaobei finished speaking, he was kicked on the buttocks.

"In fact, the team's level in the second round has exceeded everyone's expectations. Many times we have not achieved such achievements." Duncan said.

"At that time, Bobo encountered a lot of resistance when he wanted to get you to become the core of the team. After all, your position is not high. There is nothing good about a high-degree accident. I wonder if your frail body can withstand the intensity of the NBA game." Duncan picked up a can of watermelon juice and said to himself.

"But I don't know where Popo's confidence comes from. He asked me to teach you my skills and persuade the team's management to let you and Adelaide play the twin towers as the team's main style of play."

"Really, there is no coach as tolerant and decisive as Pop in this league anymore."

"LaMarcus is 33 years old this year. You and he can probably partner for two to three years. When his contract expires, the team will look for a new No. [-]."

"Our team's salary space this year is very good, and we are fully able to do some big things in the free market. We can find an excellent outside line, and we can also strengthen our role players."

???

The more Mu Xiaobei heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Why was this sentence a bit strange? It shouldn't have come out of Duncan's mouth.

"Has Bobo been here?" Mu Xiaobei suddenly interrupted Duncan and asked.

Well, sure enough, Popovich came out with a glass of red wine: "Well, I asked Duncan to convey those words to you just now, but I didn't expect you to come just halfway through our chat."

There was no trace of embarrassment on Popovich's face: "I mean, we will definitely fight the twin towers, and we will fight like this in the future, and you are an indispensable part of us."

Mu Xiaobei nodded, expressing that he knew: "I won't be depressed because of this loss. I've already adjusted, and I'm planning offseason training, really."

Popovich nodded, patted Mu Xiaobei on the shoulder, and poured Mu Xiaobei a glass of red wine.

During this period of time, Mu Xiaobei's life was very easy, and he maintained normal training every day, the most important of which were weight training, strength training and physical training. Physical fitness and confrontation were Mu Xiaobei's biggest shortcomings.

Apart from training, Mu Xiaobei continued with his other hobbies.

For example, practicing drums and guitars, the Spurs are well-deserved. In fact, many people think that the Spurs are just a band, just playing basketball as an amateur.

Although Mu Xiaobei's education level is not high, after all, he is training and competing when others are studying, but he likes reading books and novels very much.

This is already the third time he has watched The Legend of Condor Heroes.

Karlin is planning their European travel plan for about half a month, and then Mu Xiaobei will return to the training camp to continue training.

Mu Xiaobei feels that this period of time is really happy, with his lover by his side, stable friends, generous elders, and friendly teammates.

Oh, and Kuzma is better than that. He often visits Mu Xiaobei's house. He likes the Chinese food made by Mu Xiaobei very much. He even said that after Mu Xiaobei retires, he can open a Chinese restaurant in the Holy City.

The peaceful life lasted for a week. On this day, Mu Xiaobei bought a lot of vegetables, but he didn't invite anyone. Carlin helped, and Mu Xiaobei cooked according to the recipes on the Internet.

Braised pork in brown sauce, marinated and fresh, these two dishes took a long time for the young couple, followed by some daily stir-fries, and finally Mu Xiaobei carefully squatted in the kitchen and made a Wengfo jumping wall.

Drinking red wine in Chinese food is a bit weird, so Mu Xiaobei bought a bottle of Wuliangye from the supermarket.

Karlin was a little surprised, he didn't know what happened to Mu Xiaobei, since it was not a year or a festival, why did he spend so much time cooking so many dishes?

The kitchen at Mu Xiaobei's house is not that big, but it has all the internal organs. Mu Xiaobei even steamed a drawer of steamed buns, but this is the first time he made them. I don't know why the steamed buns turned yellow.

All the dishes were placed on the table, and then all the lights in the whole house were dimmed.

"Hey, Mu Xiaobei, what are you doing? How can we finish eating so many dishes?" Carlin said anxiously: "Go and see if the wiring is broken? Why is it suddenly dark?"

Before Carlin finished speaking, she walked in pushing a small cart by herself.

"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~" Hearing the voice, there should be many people, and Carlin felt a little aggrieved.

She originally thought that Mu Xiaobei didn't know that today was her birthday, but she didn't hint or remind him, but her low mood would always be revealed inadvertently.

She kept telling herself that Mu Xiaobei was still young, he was only 19 years old, and she was 22 years old, so she should learn to tolerate this little brother. Although in the United States, it is not particularly important for girls to be older than boys, but she knows that in China it is still I care about it.

But when the happy birthday song came, the tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Pa-ta--" all the lights were turned on, and Mu Xiaobei was holding a can-like thing, which contained brown flakes that looked like lemons.

"Karleen, I know today is your birthday, and today is the day we first met. I made you a jar of salted lemons for your birthday the day we met."

"Happy birthday, Carlene."

　Well, the main purpose of writing these two chapters is to write about things other than Mu Xiaobei's basketball, such as friends, elders and lovers, the most important relationships that make up our lives.

　　Thank you [Poor Monk Lingyu Dharma Name Huanxi Chan] for the two recommendation tickets.
