American Fortune Life

"Oh, well, it's not an embarrassing thing, what are you struggling with..."

Andy came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, his hair was still a little wet, and comforted Ivana who was sitting in front of the dressing table while wiping with a towel.

"It's already noon!" Ivana glared at Andy, who didn't care, with a little shame on her pretty face.

"How about we go out to eat at noon, I think it might make you feel better." Andy walked behind her, put his hands on her shoulders, looked at Ivana's pouted red chun in the mirror and smiled.

Ivana's beautiful eyes lit up, and when she was about to agree, Andy's cell phone rang, she walked over, picked up the phone, Andy hummed a few times, then hung up.

"Okay, my mom and dad have an appointment at noon and won't come back for lunch, let's settle lunch by ourselves..." Andy stood where he was, with his hands spread out, with a relaxed expression on his face.

"Huh~" Ivana secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to worry about those possible embarrassments.

However, she still decided not to continue staying at Andy's parents' house tonight, which made her very uncomfortable. Well, Andy also understood this very well. He also felt a little inconvenient. The key is that there is a kind of private The space feels trapped in a bedroom.

Now that you feel uncomfortable, choose a lifestyle that makes you comfortable. Andy didn't have so many worries, but Ivana misunderstood that Andy did this to take care of her, and even whispered something in Andy's ear beautifully, which made Andy's eyes glow green .

I went back to the restaurant of the cp hotel for lunch and settled it. When I arrived at my home court, Ivana also regained her freedom and agility. Her bright and pretty face was filled with sweetness and happiness. Holding her boyfriend's arm, every frown and smile shows infinite style.

In the afternoon, the continuous rainy day finally stopped. As an area like Washington with very little rain in November, it is very rare for it to rain for several days in a row, and Andy does not like the rainy day, which makes people feel depressed. The effect, of course, touches very good bedtime.

Grandpa and grandma walked out of the business passage and saw Andy and the beautiful and elegant Ivana. After hugging and greeting, they walked out of the airport hall together. Grandpa Li Dakang didn't care about the airport reporter's follow-up. He knew that his grandson The popularity, so, is not exclusive.

Along the way, my grandfather was full of praise for the Houston Rockets' opening record, especially in the introduction of personnel. With Chang Lu's go-between, the Rockets' offense became more and more smooth and beautiful.

However, McGrady, the head of the Rockets, recently brushed up his presence,

The practice of desperately taking credit for himself is quite critical, and this is also the view of most Rockets fans.

The record of 10 unbeaten victories started a good season, but everyone knows why. It is because the new boss is willing to spend money to build the Rockets into a very competitive team. The lineup allowed Dayao to have enough rest time, and he didn't have to be forced to play for 40 minutes.

What McGrady is doing now is obliterating the efforts of others, boasting of his own achievements, and even exaggerating his role. This is really unwise, and it is very likely to cause problems and cause conflicts among team members.

Of course, Andy has read these reports, but he just smiles every time and ignores them. He knows the reason very well. This is because McGrady is in a hurry. He feels that his boss position is unstable. Chang Lu's arrival has grasped a lot of balls. Power, and even often control the rhythm of the game, deploying the ball on the court, just like a boss.

As for Daben, who was originally with Changlu, he naturally supported Changlu, especially after getting to know the team for a while, observed some problems, and found that McGrady would never be the boss, let alone control the locker room , Well, now the Rockets' locker room belongs to Nelson.

And the big man of Tianchao is an absolute good guy, modest and good-natured, not at all interested in the position of the boss of the team, he never seems to mind who the boss is, as long as his second position is not threatened.

The stingy, egotistical, and incompetent McGrady was the old-fashioned opponent of Chang Lu, who was in the bad boy army, and Chang Lu quickly pulled away the main players of the team. As a result, McGrady was a little impatient up.

But he didn't dare to make the conflict in the locker room public, because he is not an idiot, he knows that as long as he dares to make trouble, the young new boss who looks like a sunny smile will definitely trade him away, or even more ruthlessly, directly press him in the locker room. On the bench, even if the boss doesn't do that, the current Rockets coach Nelson will mercilessly push him to death on the bench.

You must know that the power of the current Rockets coach is really a bit strong. Don’t reach out.” In this regard, not to mention that all Americans know, but those who know Andy Smith’s story will know his thoughts on management.

And since Andy took over the Rockets, the team has been divided into three parts, which do not interfere with each other and cooperate with each other. Administrative operations, player trading and team management, each perform their duties, and they have been implemented perfectly.

Under such circumstances, McGrady did not dare to stab at all. As for wanting to blackmail the team like Kobe, he never thought about it, because he also knew very well that in the Rockets, only Dayao was not for sale. The large market of 100 million people makes him invincible.

The only thing McGrady can rely on is his own skills and superstar halo, but not everyone in the NBA is really indispensable, especially because he knows himself, has leadership temperament and leadership ability, and he is not sure whether he has it.

As a prospect in the 1997 draft, Chauncey Billups has experienced a wandering career, insisted on playing with the title of parallel importer, experienced gang fights in the Palace of Auburn Hills, led this bad boy army to win the championship, and became a 1981 player. The first Finals MVP who has not been selected as an All-Star since 2009.

Nima, if this kind of old fritters wants to seize power from Mai Di, I'm afraid that even if Mai Di tied up two more, they would not be Changlu's opponents.

Going out to eat together, McGrady never spends a penny, how can he come to the Rockets after getting a big contract, treat guests to dinner every now and then, let the bench players who have nowhere to sleep sleep at home, lead the younger brother to the party, give the new younger brother Chang Lu, who bought high-end suits and borrowed sports cars casually, taught him how to compete. . .

Seeing that Chauncey Billups was unable to stop Chauncey Billups' upward momentum, McGrady began to borrow external forces, use public opinion to highlight him, and increase his importance to the Rockets, hoping to attract the attention of the Rockets' management and new owners.

After Andy learned about the situation before this, he held a meeting with the core management of the Rockets and asked them to appease McGrady first. He also communicated with Chang Lu in private. Everything should serve the team's record this season. Lu was a little puzzled at first, but after returning home, he carefully savored the words of the team manager, and it was not difficult for him to guess that someone would be left at the end of this season.

And the Rockets who just signed him with a big contract will never send him away stupidly, so there is no need to say more about the rest.

Chang Lu withdrew his hand obediently, fulfilled his role dutifully, protected his little brothers, did not conflict with Mai Di, and tried to live in peace as much as possible.

And McGrady seems to have tasted the sweetness brought to him by public opinion, and he began to brag about his achievements to the media after the game. The number of times, not only the team complained, but even the fans couldn't see it. After the past, one after another left messages to criticize, which also made McGrady restrain himself a little recently.

However, what happened during this period has also strengthened Andy's idea of ​​selling McGrady for a good price after the end of this season!

Of course, these ideas must not be messed with my grandfather. After all, my grandfather is a die-hard Rockets fan. Selling McGrady? Cough, even if Maddie is a bit of a jerk, but that's Maddie! The superstar who has the highlight performance of McGrady at all times will definitely quarrel with Andy on the spot, and even mess up this Thanksgiving. Since he can think of this possibility, he will not speak out his decision unless Andy is crazy.
