Give back that aloof and unruly Director Long!

Give back that aloof and unruly Director Long!
On the afternoon of January 21, Zhang Yang and his team arrived in Sacranto.
The capital of California, a major agricultural market, is famous for its honey.
Honey milk is one of Zhang Yang’s favorite beverages, and his mother had already instructed him to buy several cases of honey to bring back when he was in Sacranto for an away ga.
After all, they only ca once a year, and without buying extra, they wouldn’t have enough to consu, plus honey generally doesn’t spoil if stored properly.
However, buying honey wasn’t sothing he needed to worry about.
Coincidentally, he had a forr junior in Sacranto who had already purchased the honey and even arranged a place to have dinner together after a simple phone call.
After dropping their things off at the hotel, Zhang Yang called up Alan Anderson, Okafor, Millsap, and Tyronn Lue, and took the nanny van they had rented in advance to a farm near the hotel.
Rondo had left, and Tyronn Lue, the veteran who had joined the team, hadn’t hung out with Muhammad and Brad Miller but instead joined the ‘Big Brother Group’ with several rookie contract players.
Zhang Yang could guess what Lue Sir was thinking, but he thought it was good.
An old friend he had known for years, and a forr teammate from high school who had a good relationship with Tatum’s uncle, could perhaps provide so adaptive strategies from an angle that the young players hadn’t thought of during their small etings in the future.
In yesterday’s ga against the Miami Heat, Tyronn Lue only played for about ten minutes, mostly sitting on the bench, chatting with each person in the coaching staff, seemingly preparing for his future role as a head coach.
On the way to the farm, seeing that his four teammates didn’t look very spirited, Zhang Yang wondered, “Why do you all look so despondent?”
Tyronn Lue, “Four gas in five days, a four-ga road trip in the Pacific Division, just thinking about it saps my energy.
I wish I had reported later and just said I was injured.”
Zhang Yang, “Faking an injury to scam salary is going to get you suspended and fined.
Plus, if you didn’t report, Raymond would have to co back, so you might as well tough it out, Sir Lue.”
Tyronn Lue, “…”
Alan Anderson said with a laugh, “Tyronn, after this continuous road trip is done you can get so proper rest.
Raymond has already started rehabilitation training, and he’ll be back for the next ho ga.”
Tyronn Lue, “Our mid-season ga schedule is too difficult.
Four consecutive away gas at the beginning of the month in the Southwest Division, another four consecutive away gas in the Pacific Division at the end of the month.
Even soone with the physical quality of Raymond can get injured.
When I was with the Lakers, the sa thing happened in 2000 after we won the championship; in January of the next year, the schedule was really tight.
Big Shark could only play for a week before he was out for the next three weeks with injuries.”
Zhang Yang, “I think Raymond’s injury was just bad luck…”
Tyronn Lue, “…Yeah, you’re right, falling over and twisting your foot and then insisting on playing through it, making the injury worse, was indeed unlucky.”
Alan: I think Zhang San might an sothing different…
Before long, the group arrived at the rural farm, and Rondo and his new girlfriend were waiting at the door.
Seeing Zhang Yang and the others getting off, Rondo stepped forward with his girlfriend, embracing and greeting each person in turn: “This is my girlfriend, Nina.
We t at the airport the day before yesterday, it was love at first sight…
and this is Jack, the most talented player in basketball history; this is Eka, nicknad ‘Little Duncan’…”
Zhang Yang looked at Rondo’s new girlfriend, clearly a model in figure and posture.
Love at first sight?
More like lust at first sight.
Keen on dating female models, showing off and spending big in all sorts of expensive places…
Rondo’s proclivity for this lifestyle had been obvious from the day he was traded.
Especially since Rondo had just secured an endorsent deal worth a total of 10 million US dollars over three years, his lifestyle was expected to beco even more extravagant than before.
Originally, Rondo beca known only after playing a super triple-double against Jas in the 2010 playoffs and then getting endorsents.
But that’s his way of life, and Zhang San has no business interfering with it.
After greetings, the group was led by the waiter to the reserved seating.
Once seated, Zhang Yang said, “Rajon, I was worried you might have trouble adapting to a new city, but it turns out you’ve gotten familiar with this place so quickly and even found such a great farm.”
Rondo, “All thanks to Tyronn who had Kevin pick up from the airport and gave a tour of places I might often visit.
Kevin was also very enthusiastic in helping understand the tactics…”
Tyronn Lue, “You don’t have to be polite with ; we’re all brothers here.
Co on, cheers…
Jack, you’ll have milk?”
Zhang Yang, “…”
Seeing Rondo, who was now much more enthusiastic and louder than before, Zhang Yang was surprised, as were Okafor, Alan Anderson, and Millsap.
After changing teams, Rondo seed to have beco a different person!
Zhang San: Is Coach Rondo learning from Little Fat Big Brother how to be the big brother?
His slap was a bit too fierce…
Gosh, bring back my cool and indifferent Coach Rondo!
…
At 7:40 PM the next day, in the ARCO Arena in Sacranto, the Bobcats and the Kings entered the venue one after the other.
Upon entering, Zhang Yang surveyed the competition venue and complained, “This place is really rundown.
It’s one thing for the locker rooms and practice courts to be old, but even the competition venue is this worn out?
This is what the fans see; shouldn’t the city hall allocate funds to renovate this place?
No wonder the Kings talk about moving every year.
Grant, look at those floorboards, the color doesn’t even match the surrounding ones.”
Hill, “The Kings definitely have the money for new floorboards; it’s part of the team’s normal maintenance expenses.
They deliberately make it look this way to escalate public sentint in hopes that the city hall will pay for it.
They don’t really want to move.
After all, this is the capital of California.
It’s just that with nurous banks and businesses going bankrupt, Sacranto’s finances are strained.
No matter how much the Kings fuss, the city hall can’t co up with the money.”
