On the night of the 13th, after the game, the Clippers team dined in the cafeteria of the Caesars Palace Hotel.
The finance team that came with the team gave each player a US$140 allowance so that the players can spend their money on their own.
Of course, tonight's meal expenses are reimbursed by the team, so everyone can eat with confidence and confidence.
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 rice in front of Curry and thought to himself that this little man is a great player and has a really great appetite.
"Stephen, you can really eat, so why are you still so thin?" Little Jordan asked in confusion.
Curry looked at Jordan bringing five roast chickens and thought, how can you have the nerve to say that I can eat them? If I am a loser, then you are a loser.
"I didn't gain weight when I was a kid, so no matter what I ate, it didn't work. I even went to the supermarket to secretly buy protein powder, but it still had no effect."
Curry's thin body has troubled Curry since he was a child. He has always been thinner than his peers of the same height, so he has been thinking of various ways to improve it.
"By the way, DeAndre, how did you get so tall and strong?"
"My dad is 6-foot-5 (196) and my mom is 6-foot-3 (191)."
"..."
It turned out to be good genetic inheritance, which was the last option, 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 over with food. Seeing the mountains of dinner plates in front of the two of them, he said: "If all the people who eat buffet in the hotel are like you, the restaurant will definitely close down!"
Curry and Jordan looked at Gordon's dinner plate. Haha, there are three roast chickens, eight hot dogs, and two big burgers. Shut up.
Among the three people, you have the roundest face, and it can be seen that it will become more and more round in the future.
These three young players were all born in 1988. They are of the same age and obviously have a common language. They became very good friends during the training camp.
Compared with other fringe players who are destined to come and go, 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 takes great care of the three of them. The team's tactics are developed around the three of them. Curry is the main control player and Gordon is the backcourt partner. The two performed very well in the first game against the Lakers.
The Lakers' perimeter defense couldn't stop the two of them.
Jordan is the main defender inside, guarding the three-second zone under the basket.
However, Jordan's defense in the game was not very powerful, and his shot blocking, rebounding, and basket protection were all average.
I really enjoyed eating the cake, 8 out of 9.
I feel like this guy has top-notch physical fitness, but his brain reactions are always slow, and he can't predict the opponent's attacks in advance.
Kim Hughes thought to himself, this is the player Mr. Smart named to focus on, and he must be trained carefully to improve his defensive sense.
Hughes himself was born as a center. As a player, he was considered a qualified substitute center. He lacked talent, but he had enough experience and skills, which was more than enough to guide Jordan.
But Hughes also knows that judging from last season's performance, Jordan's biggest problem is actually his personality, which is lazy and not focused enough.
Sometimes the training is too hard, or the competition is too intense and tiring, and this guy will complain that it's too hard.
"Mr. Smart's judgment is very accurate. DeAndre really needs to pay close attention to him and focus on cultivating him."
Hughes gradually understood Min Congda's guiding ideology and decided to implement it seriously and focus on cultivating two future stars, DeAndre 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, you starved to death in your last life, right? How can you eat so well?"
As he spoke, Gordon ate a beef burger himself.
Jordan touched his belly and said: "I was really tired from today's game. I was already leading by almost 20 points. Coach Hughes still put me on the court and refused to let me get off. I couldn't even run." Moved!"
Curry ate all the grilled fish in front of him, spit out the fish bones, and said, "I wanted to stay on the court, but the coach took me off to rest in the second half. It was really uncomfortable."
The two of them sighed and thought it would be better if we could change.
Gordon said: "I heard that Mr. Smart went to see Coach Hughes today for trouble. It was because Stephen you played for too short a time, and Mr. Smart was very unhappy."
Jordan said: "Yes, that's right. I thought he would be very happy when we won today, but he looked a little depressed and had a few words with Coach Hughes, blaming Coach Hughes for not letting Stephen play for a while." .”
"Stephen, Mr. Smart is really partial to you. But you are the number one pick, so you must show it, otherwise you will lose Mr. Smart's face."
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 asked You hit more."
Gordon had finished eating his burger. He sighed and said, "You two guys are getting the most attention, and it seems that I am the only one who is not paying attention. Tell me, does Mr. Smart have any objections to me? He doesn't 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 dinner? I remember that he was always very active in eating, and he was really good at eating."
"He locked himself in the room after returning to the hotel. Maybe he was in a bad mood?"
"You obviously won, why are you in a bad mood?"
"What's the point of winning in the summer league? I guess he must be watching the game video in his room. He didn't watch the game in the morning."
"That makes sense, I must be watching the game video...I've finished my roast chicken, and I'll share yours with DeAndre."
"Go get that brat yourself! And help me get another one by the way..."
The cafeteria at Caesars Palace is definitely going 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 gently.
"Mr. Smart, I brought you your dinner. Please open the door."
After a while, Min Congda opened the door, and then immediately lay back on the bed.
Although we know that the summer league is different from the regular season, it cannot truly reflect the strength of Curry and the team.
But Min Congda still felt sad when he didn't get the 200 yuan. If he didn't take advantage, he would suffer a loss.
When you are in a bad mood, your appetite will deteriorate and you won't want to go to the restaurant. Just lie down and recuperate your injured soul.
Ada came in and put the food on the table. Seeing Min Congda who was in a bad mood, she wondered why Mr. Smart was still in a bad mood when the team won and Curry performed well?
He just asked himself a lot of questions about the summer league. Mr. Smart must have some foresight and thought of some more long-term issues.
Could it be...
Ada suddenly thought of something, so she walked to Min Congda and said, "There is a game at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I wonder if you want to go and watch it?"
"Well, what game? Isn't our game at 2pm?"
"Our game is at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the Grizzlies game is at 10 a.m. with Blake Griffin."
Min Congda immediately got up and said: "Is it Griffin's game? Very good, come with me to see it tomorrow morning. I want to inspect and study it."
Ada smiled slightly, thinking that Mr. Smart really still cares about his selection in the draft, and wants to see what kind of character Griffin is.
