"Zhao, I have said everything that needs to be said. As for the things you need to pay attention to when going to the Development League, someone will tell you after you report to the South Bay Lakers... I wish you good luck!"
During the phone call, team general manager Mitch Kupchak notified Zhao Feiyang of the management's decision. Although he had already seen the information on the team's official website, when the moment actually arrived, Zhao Feiyang still felt strange in his heart. of.
Mitch Kupchak still had the same attitude as before. He did not blame Zhao Feiyang for his behavior. He only said that this was a decision made after discussion by the management. He even encouraged Zhao Feiyang to cheer up and let him perform well with the South Bay Lakers.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Feiyang was in a stable mood, without any disappointment or sadness.
He who was cooking before continued to work, and finally prepared a lunch, and then brought it to the dining table to share with Zhang Jiaying.
Zhang Jiaying has been in the United States for more than a week.
During this period of time, she never reduced her temptation to Zhao Feiyang, especially since she would always wear all kinds of "weird" clothes at home.
For example, there is the hip-hugging skirt in the style of a royal sister, which outlines her perfect silhouette in every move, and there are also various yoga pants, especially since she always likes to exercise in the living room and has a toned figure. It is amazing.
What makes Zhao Feiyang the most uncontrollable is that Zhang Jiaying will also wear student clothes. Her appearance is pure, and the student clothes set off, giving Zhao Feiyang a sense of trance, as if Zhang Jiaying has traveled to the student days, especially when they just When we met.
Such changes really gave Zhao Feiyang a sense of freshness every day, and also made him quite uncomfortable to endure. Fortunately, there were too many things in the team that distracted him from other things. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for Zhao Feiyang to guarantee He won't do anything by himself.
The more this happened, the more Zhao Feiyang hoped that Zhang Jiaying would leave as soon as possible, so he planned to ask about this matter today.
Today's Zhang Jiaying is also different. Not only does she not wear different styles of clothes to actively flirt with Zhao Feiyang like in the past, but she also looks like she has lost her smile.
She sat on the other side of the dining table, and even when Zhao Feiyang brought the food to her, she did not show any joyful emotions.
"Eat quickly!"
"Feiyang, I'm a little curious."
Zhang Jiaying suddenly asked.
"What are you curious about?"
"What does the Development League team mean? I saw on the news that the team sent you to the South Bay Lakers. Does that mean you will no longer be an NBA player?"
Zhang Jiaying looked at Zhao Feiyang with curiosity.
Zhao Feiyang planned to explain seriously, but when he saw the familiar expression on Zhang Jiaying's face, he suddenly gave up the idea of explaining. Instead, he chuckled and nodded towards her.
"yes!"
"They've all been transferred to the Development League, and they might be fired at some point!"
The next second, a forced smile appeared on Zhang Jiaying's face, "It doesn't matter, even if you go to the Development League, it shouldn't be bad. After all, you are playing in the United States, and the salary will definitely not be less..."
How could Zhao Feiyang not understand that Zhang Jiaying was testing him? Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, he continued to cater to the other party.
"Then you have to think too much. The treatment in the Development League is very poor. Many players who play in the Development League only get 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars a year. Leaving aside training and other expenses, in fact, there is not much money left at all... .”
"Huh? So miserable?"
Zhang Jiaying's face became increasingly ugly.
She lowered her head, looking a little dazed, and kept picking up the vegetables in the bowl with chopsticks in her right hand. She picked up one piece as if intending to eat it, but then put it down to pick up another piece.
Just after this entanglement lasted for a minute, Zhang Jiaying suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, raised her head and said to Zhao Feiyang, "Feiyang, I have stayed in the United States for too long, and it's time to go back!"
"My parents have called me a few days ago to urge me!"
"Thank you very much for taking care of me during this time..."
Zhao Feiyang had long expected Zhang Jiaying's reaction. He sneered in his heart, but pretended not to know anything on the surface, and asked the other party uncharacteristically, "When do you plan to leave? Do you want me to take you to the airport?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Zhang Jiaying hurriedly waved her hands, "No! You'd better train hard! Your career is more important!"
Zhang Jiaying's work efficiency was still very high. Before Zhao Feiyang finished the lunch, she had already packed her luggage and planned to leave.
"I am leaving!"
"Goodbye...no, not again!"
Snapped.
Zhang Jiaying closed the door of the apartment and turned around to leave the place without hesitation. Zhao Feiyang didn't even look at it at all. After eating, he just lay down on the sofa to rest.
Although there is another feeling of "abandonment", this time it is completely different from the last time.
At that time, Zhao Feiyang was in love with Zhang Jiaying. For him, Zhang Jiaying was the person he wanted to protect and his only marriage partner. His position in his heart was completely different.
But this time, from the moment he met Zhang Jiaying until Zhang Jiaying left the apartment, Zhao Feiyang was mostly attracted by her beauty. It was just the hormones secreted in his body that were causing trouble. From the beginning to the end, he had no trace of Zhang Jiaying herself. And moved.
Beauty is the same thing for Zhao Feiyang if it were someone else. Zhang Jiaying is not the only one who can attract him.
There are people in this world who can only share wealth and honor, but cannot share adversity. Ironically, sometimes it's not even a problem.
"Let's go! It doesn't matter!"
"You are that kind of person, you know it very well, and I understand it very well, so it's really tiring to see you pretending for so long. Now that you take off the mask and reveal your true self, I feel that this is the familiar you... ..."
Zhang Jiaying left, but Zhao Feiyang was not sad at all. He went to report to the Nanwan Lakers that afternoon.
Because they are a Development League team, the South Bay Lakers are still a bit poor. Not only are they located in a relatively remote place, but the venue facilities are also completely incomparable to those of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Even so, Zhao Feiyang still had no complaints.
After the team reported, South Bay Lakers general manager Sean Gobert also informed him that the team will have a game at noon tomorrow.
Unlike the NBA, which always plays games at night, G League teams mostly play games at noon.
First, they cannot compete with NBA teams. If there are games at the same time, fans will definitely go to the NBA instead of watching them; second, the games at noon can be staggered, so that sometimes there are more fans watching the games, which can also help the team. Earn some ticket sales.
At the same time, the Chinese media on the other side of the ocean, after learning that Zhao Feiyang had gone to the South Bay Lakers to report, also made a rare plan to broadcast Zhao Feiyang's G League debut.
