Chapter 579 Brave Whiteside (Third!)

Ended this wave of consecutive away games, and after a week, they finally returned to New Orleans.

The next day's training session ended, Tang Tian took a shower and remembered to buy insect repellent for the little lion.

Because it wasn't very far from the arena, he didn't drive and just walked there.

Just two steps away, he heard someone calling himself behind him.

Looking back, it was Whiteside.

"Don, why did you walk back?"

Whiteside asked curiously after catching up.

"No, I'm going to the pet store to buy something."

Tang Tian replied.

"That's fine, I'm going too."

"You have cats too?"

"Cat? No, no, I raise fish."

Whiteside smiled back.

Many NBA players keep pets, just like when Tang Tian was in the Spurs before, Green liked to keep pythons, and Ginobili kept dogs.

He also has cats and lions himself.

Whiteside's fish farming is relatively new.

The two went to the pet store, Tang Tian bought insect repellent, and Whiteside bought fish feed, but he bought more types.

It seems that he raises quite a lot of fish species.

This made Tang Tian a little curious.

Speaking of which, Olson is still filming in Los Angeles, and he is the only one at home, so it would be boring to go back.

"Hassan, take me to see your fish."

He suggested.

"Well, you're going to like them."

Whiteside was delighted to hear that.

This is the commonality of pet owners, who like to introduce their pets to familiar people around them.

Whiteside hadn't bought a car yet, so Tang Tian drove him home.

To Tang Tian's surprise, Whiteside lived in a very suburban place, and lived in the most common single apartment.

New Orleans is not a big city, and housing prices here are not too high.

Although the contract between Whiteside and the team is still a basic salary, it is not enough to rent a house of this level.

"Sit down first, I'll get you a glass of water."

The apartment is not big, but it is quite tidy, which is rare for a single man.

Tang Tian didn't sit down, he was quickly attracted by the two large fish tanks in the room.

It's a big square fish tank.

The living room was not big, and the two fish tanks took up more than half of it.

One has a large piece of coral reef inside, and from the fish swimming inside, it can be seen that those are tropical fish, colorful.

The other one is ordinary, but there are many types of fish, such as goldfish, turtles and so on.

They shuttled back and forth in the fish tank, looking very seductive.

"water."

Seeing that Tang Tian was already watching, Whiteside smiled and handed him water.

"This is Tyrant, whose name comes from Resident Evil, and is the king here."

Whiteside said, pointing to one of the large fish with a ball-like head.

The fish looked very strange, but this seemed to be the characteristic of tropical fish.

"It's a Luohan fish."

Whiteside continued.

Tang Tian nodded after listening, today is not in vain, it can be regarded as gaining some knowledge.

"It's called The Lightning, and it's named after The Flash, not Dwyane Wade, but the one in DC."

Whiteside then pointed to a flattened fish.

"It's called an angel fish, also called an angel fish, and it's very fast."

Whiteside kept introducing the fish in his tank to Tang Tian.

When he was introduced, his face was full of sweetness and happiness.

Tang Tian listened all the way, and he found that almost every fish has its own name.

It seems that Whiteside really treasures these fish.

"Why do you want to raise fish?"

After listening, the two sat on the sofa, and Tang Tian asked curiously.

"It's convenient, I only need to feed them twice a day, once in the morning before going out, once when I come home, and then control the water temperature."

Whiteside gave a solid answer.

This is quite in line with the identity of a professional player.

Speaking of Green's python, counting the python eggs Tang Tian gave him before, there should be two now, and their feeding is even easier.

Feeding once every 90 days should be the most worry-free pet.

"And don't you think they're beautiful?"

Whiteside continued.

Tang Tian smiled and nodded.

This is true.

Especially those tropical fish, colorful is a kind of visual enjoyment.

He didn't forget to turn his head and look at Whiteside one more time.

Whiteside gives people the impression that his brain is not very good, but he did not expect to be quite emotional.

"I talk to them every day, and they love to listen to me."

But Whiteside's next words let him know he was right.

It is appropriate for you to say that you have a cat or a dog or something.

But fish?

Can this legendary creature with only 7 seconds of memory understand people?

But he didn't say anything. Most NBA players were lonely before they became famous. Perhaps this is also a way for Whiteside to vent his emotions.

After taking a sip of water, Tang Tian glanced at the room.

"Why didn't you rent a bigger place? And this place is far away from the arena."

He couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's cheap here. You don't know. The house I rented is the cheapest in this area. They all said that this room was haunted. I never believed that."

When Whiteside said this, Tang Tian felt the temperature around him drop a bit.

Speaking of which, the room is surprisingly quiet, and the lights are not very bright, it does feel a bit eerie.

Living alone in this kind of place is indeed a little scary.

Whiteside wasn't very smart, but he had a lot of guts.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Tang Tian asked.

"Lack of money is much scarier than ghosts. You don't know, the feeling of a bomb exploding not far away."

Whiteside shook his head.

Hearing this, Tang Tian suddenly understood.

Whiteside was forced to make a living and went to Lebanon to play.

That place is right next to Syria, the heart of the terrorist attacks.

Ghosts are scary, but if you don't have money, you may be killed by an explosion, which is more terrifying than ghosts.

And he remembered that Whiteside had mentioned his family in the locker room chat before.

His father was a football player and played in the NFL, but divorced his mother early.

There are 5 brothers and sisters in his family, counting him as 6 children, all raised by his mother alone.

Although his father would give him a certain amount of child support, it was a drop in the bucket. His mother once had to do four jobs alone to support them.

It is completely understandable for children who grow up in this environment to be bold.

"You can change to a better house next season."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Whiteside's contract with the Pelicans expires next season. Judging from his current performance, whether he stays with the Pelicans or not, a big contract will definitely not run away.

"Yes, then I can live in a big house with my mother and my brothers and sisters."

Whiteside said with expectation in his eyes.

Thank you for the rewards from people to middle age 2020 and woofer.
