The Fifth Point Guard

In a newly opened pizzeria in New Jersey.

I don't know whether it was a guilty conscience or some other reason, anyway, Shentong inexplicably agreed to Jefferson's request for a treat to keep his mouth shut.

"Boss, have another serving~~"

crazy!

This is the fifth pizza Jefferson has eaten himself.

The pizza here has a lot of fillings, and most people probably can't finish one pizza, but today Jefferson ate four in one go, and asked for the fifth one.

"Richard, don't try so hard, don't spoil your stomach, at worst, I'll treat you to another meal tomorrow."

Seeing Jefferson eating like this, Shen Tong was really worried.

In the history of the ABA league, there was a guy named Farouk. There were 7 brothers and sisters in the family besides his mother. He was the second child at home, but the one above was an older sister.

When Farouk was very young, his father, who was always drinking and making troubles, suddenly disappeared one day, and the burden of the family fell on Farouk.

In order to take care of his addicted mother and brothers and sisters who are starving for food, Farouk has been living a very hard life, often saving food for his younger siblings while starving himself.

However, there is no such thing as an absolute path.

Farook, who is very talented in basketball, was spotted and signed by the ABA's St. Louis Soul team.

Farouk, who won the professional player contract, was ecstatic, and the hard days finally came to an end.

On the night of the signing, Farouk ate without restraint at a restaurant.

For that meal, Farouk ate 12 large lobsters, 10 oysters, 8 fish, 5 bowls of fried rice, in addition to countless cheeses, jams, pancakes, beans, vegetables and fruits.

It is said that after the meal, Farouk returned home and collapsed on the sofa with shortness of breath. When his relatives and friends found out that something was wrong, he was already dead.

In fact, there was another player who died before living a good life.

This player's name is Len Bias, which is even more regrettable.

In the era when Michael Jordan was not yet a god, Bias was often referred to as "Jordan the Big One" by scouts.

His jump shot is accurate, and his mid-range shot even surpassed that of Jordan at the same time, but his breakthrough was a little less hot than Jordan.

At the same time, Bias's shot is very high, which can be said to be another version of the "skyhook". You can see the ball, but you can't touch it.

Throughout his college career, Bias dominated almost everyone else and became a classic in the impressions of countless opponents.

At that time, in order to get Baias, the Celtics started to operate a lot of time in advance, and selected their favorite Baias with the second pick as they wished.

The "Cardinal" Auerbach, who selected Baias, was ecstatic, and shouted, "I just want him, don't make a second choice, he fully meets our needs!"

At that time, an ESPN commentator even boldly predicted that the Celtics' second eight consecutive championships were coming.

Even the old coach K who has seen countless people puts Baias and Jordan in the same position, and emphasized, "You can't stop him from scoring at all."

Stronger than Larry Bird, a guy who no one looks down on, and can't wait to fight side by side with Baias.

But it is a pity that within 48 hours after the draft, Baias died suddenly due to powder.

What is even more surprising is that this guy has no previous criminal record of being a fan. He was just too excited and excited like that Farouk, and thus made a terrible mistake.

Thinking of this, Shen Tong couldn't help shivering, and quickly blocked Jefferson with his hands, saying, "Brother, it's almost done, don't eat."

The plates piled up on the table of the two even attracted the attention of other customers in the store.

At this moment, Shen Tong found that Jefferson suddenly stopped chewing and stared straight out of the window.

"Richard, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you're choking?" Shen Tong asked in surprise.

Jefferson's eyes gradually turned from looking out the window, as if moving with the movement of an object, until he stared at Shen Tong's back.

Shen Tong turned his head curiously.

Fuck!

Shen Tong blurted out, "Brother Ma!"

Jefferson jumped off the bench and went straight up and hugged the guy.

Since there was still half a pizza in his mouth, he hesitated and didn't know what he was talking about.

With sunglasses on his face, a big gold chain around his neck, and a huge gemstone ring on each hand, Gilbert Arenas hugged his two buddies and shouted: "I want to die!" You guys!"

A pair of diners who had just walked in were taken aback by the mountains of plates on a table.

"Boss, please have another one!" Arenas shouted.

This is already the 9th pizza.

When the diners saw the situation, they quickly muttered.

"This pizza seems to be very good, let's eat from this place."

"That's exactly what I mean."

An hour later, Arenas patted his stomach and said with satisfaction, "I'm full!"

Jefferson gritted his teeth, did not speak, and then hiccupped involuntarily.

Shen Tong was quite speechless. Hearing that he was treating guests, the two of them desperately went to eat.

After eating, Shentong ordered another pot of tea to help digestion.

The three brothers who haven't seen each other for a long time are finally reunited, but they have to have a good chat.

"Shen, Richard, thank you, buddy, keep it in mind." Arenas was talking about the 20,000 US dollars that Shen Tong and Jefferson supported him when he first entered the league.

"Hey, why are you still talking about that? We're brothers, so you gave us the gold chain too." Shen Tong replied.

Jefferson quickly said: "Hey, Gilbert, you don't know yet, Shen is very popular now, he has signed a contract with Adidas, and he will be a big star in the future!"

Seeing Jefferson giving Shen Tong a thumbs up, Arenas asked in surprise: "Really, Shen, you are too amazing. I haven't seen you for such a long time. You really have changed a lot."

For my buddies, Shentong has nothing to hide, and will truthfully tell the story of signing with Adidas.

"It is expected that the first generation of signature shoes and the first advertisement will be available next week."

Arenas said enviously with a "tsk tsk tsk": "It's 30 million US dollars in four years. I don't know when I will be able to sign such a big endorsement contract."

After talking about the contract, the three of them chatted back to the game.

"You two are doing well. You have already become the main players of the Nets, and the Nets' record is still the highest in the league. The birds who left the nest can finally survive independently!"

Hearing the pun in Arenas's words, Jefferson immediately choked back with a smile: "That's not true, Jason's pass is definitely a master, completely different from yours."

Arenas said disdainfully: "Cut, the basketball game is about who scores more points. Believe me, Jason just played a few years more than me. It won't take long for me to completely surpass him. Tomorrow's game, I will defeat him, of course, including you!"

Arenas stretched out his index and middle fingers, pointing at Shen Tong and Jefferson.

Shen Tong tilted his head, raised the corners of his mouth, stared into Arenas' eyes and said, "Gilbert, I remember the best rookie in the Western Conference last month, it seems to be Pau Gasol of the Grizzlies."

"call"

Arenas suddenly stood up from his chair and said, "Shen, Richard, as a brother, I came here to say hello to you one night earlier, but as an opponent, as a warrior from Golden State , I will go all out in tomorrow's game and beat you!"

After speaking, Arenas drank the tea in the cup.

"I want you to know that big brother is always big brother!"

Arenas, who turned to leave, has a domineering back and is quite stylish.

Actually with the Wildcats in Arizona, that's what they were like as a team, challenging each other, fighting each other, but it wasn't about brotherhood.

Only competition can make progress, and they all know this very well.

It seems that before tomorrow's game, Arenas has already switched roles ahead of schedule.

After domineeringly turning around and taking a few steps, Arenas suddenly grabbed a waiter and muttered in a low voice, "Dude, pack me two more, and the guy over there will pay for it."

STO:"."

Jefferson: "."

It seems that this guy's financial problems have not been completely resolved.
