Shrimp is rich in nutrients and can enhance the body's physical fitness and immunity.

Pig heart nourishes the internal organs, strengthens the heart muscle, replenishes qi and blood, nourishes the heart and calms the mind.

Eating these two things occasionally is a good supplement for athletes.

Carefully selected materials from Lin Ying.

By the time they finished their meal, the group was still a little unfinished. Richardson and others had already asked Lin Ying for coupons.

Lin Ying's previous conclusion that foreigners didn't like Chinese food under Durant was a little premature.

Just like Chinese people eat Western food, it is still a good choice to try something new occasionally.

After the team's morning training the next day, Lin Ying was invited by Stoudemire to visit his home.

On the way there, Stoudemire and Lin Ying chatted.

What they were talking about was not about the beautiful women in luxury cars or basketball games as they imagined, but...

Chinese culture.

This surprised Lin Ying.

Stoudemire was a little surprised to learn about shrimp yesterday.

However, Stoudemire didn't look like he was pretending. In fact, there was no need to pretend, because he had no reason to deliberately please Lin Ying.

And if it really happened, it wouldn't wait until the start of the season.

Even Lin Ying was a little shocked. Note that [shock] was that Stoudemire said that he had a Chinese name:

"grandson."

Lin Ying said what a good guy!

Could it be that you have a sworn brother named Kenyon Martin?

This is comparable to the "worrying about gains and losses" tattoo!

No, even better.

Out of politeness, Lin Ying didn't ask any more questions and just said it was good.

Stoudemire's home is in the suburbs of Phoenix, a large villa in a wealthy area.

He was drafted by the Suns in 2002 and has been in Phoenix for almost eight years.

A house or something must already be there.

When they arrived, they happened to see Stoudemire's girlfriend Wilkie and his children playing on the grass.

Stoudemire is not married yet, but he already has two daughters and a son. The eldest daughter is over 4 years old.

Xiaosi said hello to Welqi, introduced Lin Ying to them, and then took Lin Ying to visit his home.

The homes of NBA stars are usually mansions. Like Jordan's house in Chicago, it might be called a manor. It covers an area of ​​more than 5,000 square meters and has an estimated value of more than 30 million.

Xiaosi's house is fairly normal, with only one house and only one floor.

Even including the large swimming pool and green area in front of the house, the land area is only a few hundred and the value is not more than one million.

Because Lin Ying first arrived in Phoenix, she still rented a house like she did in Denver.

If you want to buy a house, this layout is quite good.

When Stoudemire led him into the house, the first thing he saw was a big... built-in aquarium!

There are many people in the NBA who like to keep fish, but it is still relatively rare to directly build an aquarium.

Moreover, this aquarium is very rich in species. In addition to ordinary fish, Lin Ying also saw manta rays and nurse sharks.

Stoudemire has invested heavily in this aquarium.

"Every time you are unhappy, you will feel much better if you look at these."

Stoudemire said.

Lin Ying nodded. This gave him some ideas. He would have to do this when buying a house in the future.

If nothing else, it saves time driving to see the sea.

Following Stoudemire, Lin Ying saw his sneaker display cabinet and trophy display cabinet, which should be standard equipment for NBA players.

There are also some abstract paintings in the corridor.

"These were given to me by Quentin."

Xiao Si then introduced.

There's a reason why Richardson is so popular with the Suns.

They finally went to the study to sit down and chat.

It was at this time that Lin Ying noticed that there were many world famous books in Xiaosi's study.

That's not just China, but also Europe, Central Asia, and even Africa.

Seeing this, Lin Ying finally realized that Xiao Si was not only interested in Chinese culture, but also interested in the culture of the whole world.

This attitude towards life had some impact on Lin Ying.

Playing basketball is a dream and a career, but it is not necessarily everything in life.

"I'm going to get some fruit. You can take a look at the books on my bookshelf first."

Xiao Si said and went out.

Lin Ying also stood up and looked through it.

"War and Peace", "Inside Africa", "Israel: The Rebirth of a Nation", "The Cut Veins of Latin America"...

Covers a wide range of topics.

And as Lin Ying watched, he felt more and more that others were living, while he was living.

Turning to the section with Chinese characters, he found a very familiar name.

The moment he saw the book, he seemed to understand something.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War"!

That’s what it means!

This is the reason why he is called grandson.

Sometimes you have to marvel at the breadth and depth of Chinese.

And when he took it down, he found that this book was much "older" than other books.

It seems that Stoudemire has been watching it a lot recently.

Open it again and see that there are many English standards in it.

This is not just watching, but also studying!

Just then, Xiaosi came back, holding a fruit plate in one hand and some dried fruits in the other.

"That was my idol Tupac Amaru Shakur's favorite when he was alive. I love it so much."

Seeing Lin Ying holding "The Art of War" in Lin Ying's hand, Xiao Si spoke.

"He's a singer."

Maybe he was afraid that Lin Ying wouldn't know who he was talking about, so he added.

"This should be considered a world famous book."

Lin Ying nodded, took the book and sat back on the sofa.

This is not his bragging, the two most famous examples are:

Napoleon loved it admirably, and Roosevelt regarded it as a supreme treasure.

Moreover, many of the ideas in this book are not only used in war, but also have great reference significance in business.

"I think it is also very helpful for basketball. There is a saying in it called 'Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.' Get to know your opponent well first, know his weaknesses, and then kill him."

Xiaosi said while recalling.

Lin Ying smiled and nodded after hearing this.

There is nothing wrong with saying this.

"Then our game against the Nuggets is not considered a military strategy?"

Lin Ying thought for a while and replied.

"Do the math, you see what I said is right, it is very helpful for playing basketball."

A copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" gave the two of them something to talk about, and they had a lot of fun talking about it.

And Lin Ying also knew that the reason why Xiao Si liked this book was because he had retinal surgery in the summer.

It was also because of this that he didn't take the initiative to join the training camp immediately.
