In fact, the team is responsible for food. Why do players take lunch boxes when they leave? Let's sort out the reasons for this.
First, does the NBA team's special plane provide airplane meals? Now most teams in the NBA will buy players a special plane to go back and forth. Even if there is no special plane, the team will rent a special plane to provide transportation services for the players. After all, the plane is the fastest means of transportation, and the players can quickly reach the competition city by special plane, which saves time and effort, and at the same time avoids the excessive fatigue of the players, so that the players can have a good rest and prepare for the competition. However, the team's special plane is not equipped with a stewardess or a chef. What does this mean?
This means that there is no food on the plane, only some simple and convenient food to supplement energy. The food on the special plane can't satisfy the players, and many players will choose to bring their own lunch boxes. Therefore, every time we go to an away game, the team will do a good job in logistics and prepare food for the players in advance. Players can choose to bring or not.
Curry often eats lunch boxes when he plays away games. I saw Curry smiling on the plane with four lunch boxes in one hand. Some fans wonder if there are many delicious lunches in the library, otherwise why do you want to take so many lunches?
Second, the box lunch in the library vs. the box lunch of others. Some fans may notice a problem. Curry always takes at least 4 lunches, while other players usually take 1-2 lunches. Is it because you can eat more curry, so you need to bring so much?
First of all, let's talk about the box lunch in Curry. First of all, athletes' lunch boxes are indeed bigger than ordinary people's, which is for sure. But there shouldn't be much food in it These foods are specially prepared by nutritionists. The reason why Curry always brings four lunch boxes is said to be that he doesn't like to mix all kinds of food together, so he will put each kind of food in one lunch box, which is why Curry always holds many lunch boxes in his hand. In fact, in this respect, it should be similar to other players.
Some fans ridiculed the library for holding four dishes and one soup.
Compared with Curry's four lunches, other players have much fewer lunches.
Durant just needs a box lunch, which is also in line with Adu's temperament. Klay thompson and Cousins need two boxes of lunch. However, compared with Curry, they have fewer box lunches and only need 1-2 to solve them.
James, the first person in the league, also brought a box lunch.
Third, prevent food poisoning. In the history of NBA, many players have food poisoning. 1997 in the fifth game of the finals, Jordan dragged his body with a 40-degree fever and scored 38 points to lead the Bulls to victory over the Jazz. At the end of the game, Pippen helped Jordan to step off the stage and become a classic. The game was also called "Influenza War".
Fourth, it is convenient to carry and saves time. Besides the three points mentioned above, other benefits are obvious, such as portability and time saving.
As we all know, the schedule of NBA is very tight. Players not only have to play at home, but also fly to play the game. The box lunch is very convenient to carry. As long as you bring it, you can eat it anytime and anywhere. After arriving at the destination, you don't have to look for food all over the world, saving a lot of time and giving players more rest time.
