Early the next morning, the whole Heat team flew back to Miami, but Xie Chen did not go with his teammates this time, which once made his teammates wonder if Xie Chen was going to play in the gym again, Xie Chen shook his head and chuckled and said that he would definitely not do it again in a short time.

One reason he didn't want to go back was that the team was going back to the Northwest Division to play the Jazz in two days, and he didn't want to toss again. The most important reason is that no one is waiting for him in Miami, Wade, Bosh and their families are waiting for them to go back to reunite, Xie Chen's parents are in New York, and Miami has no wife and children, so what does it matter if he can't go back?

In addition, since the start of the season, the Heat has played 22 games, Xie Chen is a little physically and mentally exhausted, I really want to take this opportunity to relax, by the way, I want to be quiet and think about something, he asked Coach Spo for instructions, and Coach Spo also agreed to Xie Chen's request, a team core, or the core in the rookie period, compared to training with the team, maybe a person's environment will be better for his state.

Bidding farewell to his teammates from the Heat, Xie Chen did not stop in Denver and went straight to the city where the team's next opponent is located, Utah and Salt Lake City.

Denver and Salt Lake City are two famous cities in the Midwest of the United States, the geographical location is like Chengdu and Kunming in China, Xie Chen arrived at Salt Lake City International Airport by plane for only an hour, and it is still morning, which is the best time of the day, but Xie Chen, who is alone in Salt Lake City, is not interested at all.

Where to go? Looking at the couples on the airport, Xie Chen's mood became even more uncomfortable, he is also a "successful person" now, why doesn't he have a girlfriend? If you think about it carefully, no, who said they don't have a girlfriend, isn't Scarlett? That's what she admits to herself!

Xie Chen immediately dialed Scarlett's phone: "Honey, where are you?" ”

Scarlett over there was stunned for a full five seconds before replying, "Did you take the wrong medicine today?" Why do you talk so yin and yang? I'm in LA. ”

It's not surprising that Scarlett has this reaction, after all, this is the first time Xie Chen has called Scarlett like this, to be precise, he is teasing: "I'm in Salt Lake City, and I'm at the airport right now, not far from you, come and find me." ”

Scarlett has been paying attention to the Heat's schedule, so she knows that Xie Chen's next game is in Salt Lake City, but there are still nearly two days before the game day, why did Xie Chen get there so early? Scarlett was puzzled, "Is it important for you to call me over?" ”

"Very important, Miss Actress." Xie Chen is serious.

"What's the matter?"

"Play with me."

Scarlett had the urge to smash the phone, but then she laughed out loud, speaking of which was the first time Xie Chen took the initiative to invite Scarlett to meet, and it happened that Scarlett didn't have a job today, so she also agreed to Xie Chen's invitation, and immediately took the nearest flight to Salt Lake City.

When she came to the airport, Scarlett covered herself tightly, with a baseball cap, black sunglasses, a mask, and a black coat, so that Xie Chen didn't recognize it.

"Hey!" After Xie Chen waited at the airport for two and a half hours, a woman suddenly patted herself from behind.

Xie Chen glanced at the carefully disguised Scarlett, and exclaimed with an exclamation: "Your dress is too exaggerated, right?" I didn't hide it much, and few people recognized me for two hours. ”

Scarlett said lightly: "This only proves that you are too unknown, and you can't understand the pain of a superstar." ”

Xie Chen shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the airport hall with her one after the other, but Scarlett went straight to the parking lot, Xie Chen knew that there was already a driver in Salt Lake City who had been waiting here for a long time, so it seems that Scarlett's words just now are not too much, the big star is really a big star, the pomp is different, there is a chauffeur to pick up and drop off wherever he goes.

Xie Chen and Scarlett went to the Great Salt Lake, which is also one of the most attractive places to visit in Salt Lake City, and this place is also suitable for Xie Chen to think about something quietly, passing through Salt Lake City along the Great Salt Lake, which is seven times more salty than the sea, and traveling through the vast grasslands, cattle and sheep galloping along the way. Standing on the shore of the salt lake, you will see a magnificent landscape in front of you, with the blue lake and the mountains in the distance, and the colors are bright and fascinating.

In this beautiful scene, Xie Chen looked into the distance and was stunned, and he was stunned for half an hour.

Scarlett, who was wrapped in a black coat and handsome as a man, smoked two cigarettes during this period, and was alone for a while, and finally couldn't help it, took off her high heels, and gently kicked Xie Chen's ass with her pink feet like a girl: "Is it over?" Called me here from more than 600 miles away just so that I could stand here with you? What's on your mind as a little kid that you've been thinking about for so long? ”

Xie Chen came back to his senses, just half an hour, to be exact, Xie Chen didn't deliberately think about anything, but there were pictures constantly emerging in his mind, there was the scene where Xie Chen played the court for the first time to face Curry and hit the first three-pointer, Xie Chen assisted Bosh to make a layup, Xie Chen used Rose's skills to make a layup, and there was yesterday's lore......

Since the start of the game, Xie Chen can be said to have been smooth sailing, his reputation has risen, he has become the best rookie, and the team has not tasted defeat, but I don't know why, Xie Chen always feels flustered and melancholy from time to time, maybe because of the tense relationship with Bosh, maybe because this qiē came too quickly, which made Xie Chen unbearable for a while.

Xie Chen stretched out his hand and slapped Scarlett's pink feet hard, heard a snapping sound, and said with a smile: "You have been in the entertainment industry since you were a child, of course you don't know what those of us who worked hard to get the stage qualification think." I don't have any worries, I just feel that the current qiē is not what I imagined. In the past, I thought of basketball as too simple, thinking that basketball only has talent, hard work, and skill, but now I know how much pressure I have on my back to being a professional basketball player, not to mention that thanks to you, I am still a very well-known basketball player. ”

Scarlett retracted her foot, sighed, and said: "You just entered the NBA league, it's normal to be confused, you basketball players are not the same as us actors, your career is too short, and you can maintain your peak state for only a few years, which requires you to cherish and work harder than others every day, there are more than 400 people in the NBA, not everyone is as lucky as you." ”

"yes, I'm lucky." If Xie Chen didn't have a basketball replication system, maybe he would still be a bench player who averaged less than 10 points per game, right?

"Shall we take a picture?" Scarlett took out her mobile phone, Xie Chen stood behind him, and smiled at the camera, this smile remained in the Great Salt Lake along with the green reeds on the shore, the snow-white salt flats and the turquoise water.

Maybe it's because there is no family, so Xie Chen always suffers from gains and losses, but today fortunately with Scarlett, after leaving the Great Salt Lake, at night, Scarlett actually asked the driver to buy a basketball, Scarlett took the basketball to take Xie Chen to an unmanned basketball court, and then threw the ball to Xie Chen: "Teach me to play basketball, I want to learn your folding layup!" ”

Xie Chen laughed, you can't do Rose's layup, but Xie Chen still demonstrated a standard three-step layup for her very seriously.

"It seems easy, but I can do it too."

Scarlett took the basketball and learned Xie Chen's layup movements, she dribbled the ball okay, but the bounce was really average, every time she went to the basket, the basketball couldn't reach the basket, at most it smashed under the basket.

"If you don't jump high, can't you throw it higher? Smash rebounds, not baskets. Xie Chen couldn't help but reprimand when he saw that Scarlett had failed to make layups several times in a row.

Scarlett was obviously a little upset, she didn't like the way she looked stupid: "Don't kill me! I know how to do it! Look, I'm going to make it this time! ”

Scarlett walked to the halfcourt with the basketball, took a long breath, and then ran to the basket again!

The key to practicing a three-step layup for novices is "one big, two small, three high jumps", the first step starts at a fast pace, the second step is smaller, which is used to adjust the body to reduce the forward momentum and prepare for the next step, and the third high jump, the body jumps upwards with force, the arms are relaxed, and the big arm drives the lower arm up to hold the ball in.

Xie Chen told Scarlett about these skills, but it was easier said than done, especially when Scarlett was already in the best physical condition, and it was even more difficult for her, but Xie Chen knew that with Scarlett's stubborn character, if she didn't make a layup, she would never give up.

"Forget it, I'll help you!"

Xie Chen said, at the moment when Scarlett jumped to the basket, he quickly rushed forward, and he also jumped up!

Scarlett only felt a gust of wind behind her, and then she felt that someone was supporting her body!

Xie Chen lifted Scarlett's buttocks up in the air, and Scarlett's whole person seemed to fly, and her height instantly increased to a level!

Scarlett screamed in fright, but at this time, she involuntarily completed the layup, only to see that the basketball finally smashed high to the rebound this time, and then hit the board into the basket.

"Yay! The ball is in! I'm motivated! Scarlett jumped up and down like a little girl.

Xie Chen also gave her a stupid high-five, at this moment, Xie Chen felt that the two of them were like Haruko Akagi and Hanamichi Sakuragi who trained on the outdoor basketball court in "Slam Dunk", the difference is that in the anime, Haruko Akagi taught Hanamichi Sakuragi to go to the basket, but here, it is the other way around, however, one thing is the same, that is, men have to take the opportunity to eat women's tofu......

"Oh, that feeling is so cool, the moment you hold me, I seem to experience the feeling of flying! I still want it! I still want it! Let's keep doing this! Scarlett excitedly tugged at Xie Chen's arm, like a little girl asking for candy for an adult.

Xie Chen looked at Scarlett's eye-catching chest scenery, he already had the goal of the next "assist layup", and said with a smile: "It's my honor, Miss Johnson, let's continue to practice, I will continue to let you experience the feeling of flying!" ”
