Born to Run

At the entrance of a Chinese restaurant in Eugene, a spacious and tall SUV slowly stopped.

At the moment Dayao got off the car, Ye Qin raised the idea that everyone who saw Dayao would have, high, really high.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it is really difficult for ordinary people to appreciate the oppressive feeling of Dayao's huge size.

When sitting in the car, I just feel that the square head is too big, even if it's a bearer, it's not enough to describe it, but when I get off the car, it feels like a child meets an adult.

When you see it on TV, the average person will only feel that the other person is much taller than the average person, but only when you really stand beside the other person can you experience the feeling of facing a giant.

Like Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu, they are not low in height, but standing next to Dayao, they can barely reach their shoulders.

After entering the restaurant, a few people found a seat reserved in advance. Ye Qin looked at the decoration in the restaurant, a little uncomfortable, too fancy.

In order to highlight Chinese characteristics, Chinese restaurants in the United States tend to favor the traditional domestic style in decoration. The red lantern at the door is almost a must, and some tables and chairs, as well as the design of partitions, etc., will be biased towards the antique. the taste of.

However, most Chinese restaurants in foreign countries have the impression that they are too far, and the colors are too gorgeous, as if they are a little superficial.

Sitting down in the seat, Dayao seemed to see Ye Qin’s thoughts, and said in a somewhat urn-sounding voice, “Ye Qin, you should be here for the first time. The restaurants here are almost like this. I chose this Chinese restaurant. It's better, and the taste is more authentic. It was opened by a couple who came from Shenghai a few years ago. Today we ate local dishes, which are relatively authentic. I have already said hello in advance. There is no big problem."

Dayao and Liu Yangyu are both from Shenghai, so it is natural to choose their own dishes.

Athletes still need to pay attention to their diet, especially when they eat outside. Yao invited the two to eat before the game, and he has done a lot of homework in advance.

After Chinese food arrives in the United States, localization is inevitable, and the taste will become a little weird. There are very few that can maintain the original flavor relatively. For most of these restaurants, only the Chinese people will pay more attention to it.

"I haven't eaten Chinese food for some days." Ye Qin nodded, "From going abroad in May to now, the last time I ate Chinese food was made by Coach Li at Baylor University."

Ye Qin had eaten several times in Shenghai, but he was from the northern part of Haixi Province, and his taste was more spicy than that of Gan Province. However, it is not easy to have a good Chinese meal in a foreign country.

Not to mention anything else, it's always good to have a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

"I'm fine." Liu Yangyu listened to Ye Qin a little bitterly, and couldn't help laughing. "Who told you not to go back to China? I have just been here for a few days, and I feel that the diet is still okay."

"Haha..." Dayao smiled heartily, "If you stay in the United States for a few years, it will be painful. When I first came to the United States, do you know what I want to eat the most? I especially want to eat pao rice, but To practice strength, to gain muscle, eat a nutritious meal every day until I vomit."

Hearing the nutritious meal, Ye Qin's eyes twitched slightly, remembering how he felt when he first ate Nie Fangping's nutritious meal at Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, and nodded in sympathy.

This is actually the case for athletes. Although it is said that they do not need to be completely taboo, at certain special stages, the control of diet is very strict.

However, after some exchanges, Ye Qin found that Dayao was easier to get along with than he had imagined. He had a straightforward personality and occasionally made jokes. As soon as others hadn't reacted, he was already laughing happily.

From diet to competitions, when I was young, my dream was to have a pair of good shoes, and so on, everyone talked very comfortably.

After getting the menu, a few people wandered around in their hands, and none of them ordered seafood that was too greasy or easy to cause discomfort. Everyone was an athlete, and there was a tacit understanding of this.

"By the way, there is a game tomorrow. We won't drink anymore. Everyone has something to eat and chat." After handing over the menu to the waiter, Dayao looked at Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu and said with a smile.

In fact, everyone doesn't drink much, but when Dayao watched Liu Yangyu bring Ye Qin over, he still showed his eldest brother's demeanor and said something.

"Yes, there will be a game tomorrow, so you can't drink." Ye Qin was a little relieved when he heard that he didn't drink. He hardly drinks, and rarely eats out with other people. This time, he will follow Liu Yangyu and Dayao. If the two of them He really didn't know how to refuse.

Liu Yangyu looked at Ye Qin's look on the side, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Even if there is no competition, you can't drink if you want to drink."

"Huh?" Ye Qin was puzzled.

Dayao took over and said: "The United States is different from China. There are laws and regulations here. In China, many of our children can drink in public, but here, there is a law in the United States called the'Uniform Drinking Age Law'. In more than half of the states, it is required to drink alcohol at the age of 21. In other states, it must be over 18 years old. In Oregon, it is 21 years old."

With that said, Ye Qin understood it.

During his time from Osaka to the United States, he mostly trained and went out less. Maybe Randy Hunter was in the middle, but he didn't feel particularly uncomfortable.

A few people chatted, and not long after, the dishes ordered were already served. I had already considered the issue of the next day's game before, so many dishes had concerns.

Some dishes that are not suitable are not available. Most of the dishes that came up were rice noodles such as xiaolongbao, fried noodles, scallion noodles, jujube mashed cakes, and steamed crucian carp.

"You have finished the game at Eugene tomorrow, and there will be another stop in New York, right?" Everyone chatted occasionally while eating.

"Well, June 14th, the Reebok Grand Prix."

"In New York, I can't go to watch your game. I will go back to China in a few days. Adjust and rest, and then start preparing for the Asian Championships. In fact, it is really good to see you like this." Dayao smiled and watched. Xiang Liu Yangyu turned to look at Ye Qin, "Before you went to the Grand Prix Golden League, you were all alone, now you have company."

As he said, his iconic smile appeared again, "Next time you run away, the media firepower will not be staring at you, at least someone will share it together."

"Haha~www.wuxiaspot.com~ That's true. After returning home from the Osaka Grand Prix, my master said, Ye Qin, this kid, has robbed me of some limelight." Liu Yangyu cheerfully picked up a glass of mineral water, "Ye Qin, Come on, but you said in the newspaper that you are worthy of the Gemini honor, I am waiting for you."

"I will work hard!" Ye Qin burned a fire in his heart. He was the youngest of the few people, but he really didn't have to be many years apart, but the two in front of him had already reached the peak of their respective careers. .

Just before coming, Ye Qin listened to Chen Zhongzhou and Zhuang Wei whispering to him that Dayao's performance this year was very good. In March of this year, he scored a game-high 22 rebounds against the Suns.

Needless to say, Liu Yangyu is now the hottest in the country, and the media is even hyping that he is competing with Dayao for the first brother in Chinese sports.

Ye Qin is very clear that the gap between him and the two is like a moat. It is the difference between the clouds and mud. Both are now the targets of Ye Qin's pursuit, but his heart is very hot.

One day, I will become a household name.

The world will know my name!
