"Uh-Uh!" Chamberlain burped, a long cumin and meaty smell sprayed into his mouth, and a storm swept the clouds, and he was finally full.

Jackson and Sardmons had a much worse appetite than Chamberlain and had been so full that they could not move. Li Qun smiled and asked with a smile: "Are you full?"

Sardmons nodded in satisfaction, and he gestured around his neck with his hand and said, "It's already here."

After eating for an hour and a half, night had already fallen. Chamberlain decided to check out, so he snapped his fingers at a waiter and said lazily: "Checkout, handsome guy."

The waiter came over with a smile, and handed the bill to Chamberlain and said respectfully: "Thank you for your patronage, it's a total of 2845 US dollars, sir."

"How much?" Chamberlain's teeth picking movements were a little stiff. Isn't it fucking? It costs more than 2,800 US dollars for a meal? In the past, his family of five could not afford to spend so much on a month's living expenses!

"Two,845 US dollars." The handsome waiter still maintained that respectful look, but his eyes at Chamberlain had become a little weird.

Jackson knew what was going on when he saw Chamberlain's urinary sex. He asked casually, "Damn, boy, you don't have the money to pay the bill, are you?"

Chamberlain really had no money to pay the bill. How could he expect that he would have to pay so much for a meal? His salary is indeed not low, but the problem is that except for the ten-day short contract, he has not yet obtained other salary. And the money he earned from the ten-day short contract, he has given all the 50,000 yuan he won by the bet, leaving only 5,000 yuan left in his hand.

Five thousand dollars is considered a large amount of property for Chamberlain. At that time, he felt that it would be fine to use this money to deal with two months. It would be easy to survive the first month's salary. However, it was obvious that he underestimated the consumption capacity of NBA stars and had too many places to spend money, especially when renting a cliff house villa, he still owed Winnie money.

Unlike many sports, the NBA pays wages not annually or monthly, but twice a month. The 15th and the last day of each month are the time to pay wages. For example, November 15th not long ago was the first time the NBA paid wages in a season, and it started from the beginning of the regular season in November every year and ended until the end of the regular season in April. In this way, 12 wages were paid each season.

The NBA also implements a system of withholding and payment. That is to say, after the team deducts the various taxes to be paid from each player's salary, it will directly transfer the remaining salary to the player's account. When the NBA pays a salary once, it will give the players a salary slip similar to that used when the Chinese unit pays the salary, so that the players know how much taxes were deducted and how much money were paid.

However, this is only for old stars. New players, especially rookies, are paid monthly in their first season, and only 50% of their salary is paid. This is to avoid the newcomers suddenly getting rich overnight and doing whatever they want with money. Although Chamberlain's salary is high, he actually couldn't get much money in the first month.

Chamberlain looked embarrassed. His credit card had been overdrawn and stopped the card before, but now he only had less than 600 dollars on his body. Originally, he only planned to invite Winnie and Li Qun to dinner, but the two women couldn't eat much. This time, with Jackson and Sardmons, everything was very different.

Chamberlain felt a little annoyed if he had known that he wouldn't have eaten so much before.

Li Qun smiled, turned the red card in front of him into a green card, and said, "Don't check out first, give me another flame salad."

Winnie stood up and said, "I'll go to the bathroom."

The waiter smiled politely, stopped checking out and went back to prepare for the food. When he left, Li Qun quietly handed his bank card to Chamberlain and blinked mischievously. Chamberlain's face was a little flushed. Just as he was about to speak, Li Qun rushed to him and said, "This is lent to you. Remember to return it to me in a month."

This is a helpless move. Chamberlain didn't have much money in his pocket. He either borrowed Jackson's money or Winnie or Li Qun's money. Obviously, it's better to use Li Qun's money. Anyway, he is just borrowing it for a while, not a soft meal. But this feeling is still not good. Although Chamberlain is not ashamed of a manly chauvinism, using women's money makes him feel somewhat ashamed.

After serving the flame salad, Winnie also came back. Chamberlain was embarrassed to check in public this time. He walked to the service desk and was told that the account had been settled. Chamberlain was shocked. The manager took out a credit card payment form, and the signature on it was Winnie's Long Feifengwu.

Chamberlain was depressed. What he was puzzled was why Winnie helped him so much? He fell in love with him? That was impossible. Although he was tall and handsome, there were handsome men everywhere in California. Compared with those professional and handsome men, he was still much more sad.

Winnie helped him too much. After these favors accumulated, Chamberlain felt a little unbearable. This pressure came from the unknown. He didn't know why Winnie kept helping him like this.

But there is still a happy place. After Shirley moved into the villa, the villa became popular. She chose a room on the second floor. Originally, Chamberlain thought she would live with Winnie, but Shirley was unwilling and insisted on living with Chamberlain.

Coincidentally, the day after Shirley officially moved into the Cliff House Villa, Shirley's father's final verdict was held in San Francisco Court. With personal and physical evidence, her father did not argue and deny it, and honestly admitted the crime he committed. The San Francisco Court made a verdict, sentenced him to fourteen months in prison and would not allow him to live with Shirley for the next ten years.

Shirley's father finally sobered up. He listened to the judge's statement with a pale face. Watson was covered in blonde hair and white hair. He didn't look at Shirley from beginning to end. He kept his head down. He only raised his head and answered in a hoarse voice when the judge asked.

Shirley's uncle also flew over from Boston. This is an honest man who works in garbage destruction in Boston. The pressure of life has bent his waist. In the French, he can't do anything except sighing and crying. This makes Chamberlain a little lucky, but fortunately he did not hand over Shirley to him.

When the final verdict was issued, Shirley burst into tears. Her father staggered and followed the police to leave the courtroom. Chamberlain watched him leave. When he was about to be taken out of the court, her father suddenly stopped and shouted at Chamberlain: "Take care for Shirley, and be sure to protect her, for the sake of God!"

After hearing this, Shirley cried even louder, and Winnie hugged her and comforted her.

After finishing Shirley's business, Chamberlain devoted himself to the Warriors' game in December.

The East and West Month Best appeared in November, and the Eastern Month Best was won by Dwight Howard. He averaged 22.5 points and 14 rebounds per game, and the team's record was ten wins and four losses. In fact, from the data, James, who averaged 28.5 points, 7.8 assists and 8.2 rebounds per game, seemed more appropriate, but he was elected as the best in the month, which almost formed a monopoly, causing aesthetic fatigue to fans.

The Western Conference Best of the Month surprises everyone, that is Chamberlain, who averaged 15 points and 18.5 rebounds in 14 games in November, and averaged 6.5 blocks per game, helping the Warriors get the best month start in the last ten seasons, becoming the first player in NBA history to receive the award in the first month of the rookie season since the honor of Player of the Month.

Of course, the Western Conference Rookie of the Month is naturally Chamberlain, which made Kevin Durant, who averaged 24.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, feel depressed. He is really a success. His performance is definitely an outstanding B among rookies in recent years, but he was suppressed by Chamberlain, the penalty area monster. The most tragic thing is that for a long time in the future, he may be suppressed by this monster.

On December 1, 2007, it was about to say goodbye to 2007 and enter 2008. A big deal news came to the NBA. At 6 a.m. on the 1st, ESPN took the lead in revealing a message that the core player of the Grizzlies and Paul Gasol, one of the best penalty area big men in the West, was traded to the Lakers.

Everyone knows that the Lakers will definitely sign a strong inside player, because since losing to the Warriors two consecutive games, the desperate Kobe has issued a final notice to the team that he must find a strong deputy, and if he must be an inside player, he will definitely not be willing to fight alone.

Everyone knows that the player Kobe wants is Chamberlain, but everyone knows that unless the Warriors' uniform group is crazy, no team can get Chamberlain, a penalty area beast destined to dominate the NBA. Kobe kept making noise throughout November to find a deputy, he would make noise after the press conference after the game, he would make noise before the game, and when he met a reporter interviewing him: I want a big insider, I want a strong penalty area player, I want an All-Star center power forward...

Some media have speculated before that the Lakers may have set their sights on the Grizzlies' core Paul Gasol, because since the Grizzlies' uniforms selected Jerry West as their general manager, it is obvious that they are going to rebuild the team. Gasol, the old core with a maximum salary, is of course no longer suitable for this team.

But no one expected that the Lakers actually got Gasol with such conditions: the Lakers handed over the ownership of former draft No. 1 Kwame Brown, defender Javeris Crittanton, defender McGee, rookie Mark Gasol and two first-round draft picks in 2008 and 2010, from the Grizzlies to Gasol and the second-round draft pick in 2010!

After watching this transaction, many general managers of the team directly cursed: "Damn you, this is a shady deal! West, do you still have moral integrity? You are the general manager of the Grizzlies, not the Lakers' son-in-law!"

The transaction is a bit abrupt, but there is no way, because Bynum, the only inside pillar of the Lakers, had a knee injury and stopped not long ago. Although Bynum is a brain shortage, it is better than not. He can at least help Kobe Kobe with a rebound in the inside, but even he was injured. The Lakers are killing the pace, Kobe has no help in the inside, so he can't count on Kwame Brown, right? If the number one pick in the square roster is reliable, the sow can also climb a tree.

Bynum's injury became the last straw that crushed Kobe's camel. When Bynum was around, although he was far away from the championship, he could at least deceive himself and comfort himself. As long as the little shark grows up, he will have a chance to win the championship. Now the little shark has become a shark. Kobe vaguely saw that O'Brien waved his hand to him and said goodbye completely.

So Kobe issued the final order to the Lakers' uniform team: "I'm serious this time and don't get a strong inside player for me, so I'll stop fighting and ask for a deal!"
