Chapter Seventy-Eight: Finney's Visit
November in Miami is a bit of a change in temperature, with sunshine, warmth, and occasional chills. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When he got down from the bus stop, the black man with the pigtailed head saw at a glance the Chinese man standing tall in the crowd, as clean as ever, with short round hair, eyes as sharp as an eagle, and a reddish-brown camouflage jacket.
"Hey, my brother!" Finney gestured rhythmically and stretched out his fist.
Yang Di laughed, clenched his fists and collided with him, and then the two of them clapped their hands very tacitly, hooked their hands, leaned on their shoulders slightly, and touched each other lightly.
"Long time no see, Finney!"
"It's been a long time, yo, big star!" Finney nodded.
"Don't make fun of me, I'm just a rookie off the bench." Yang Di is a little embarrassed to be called a big star by Finney, his playing time is not particularly stable!
"I heard you fired Jones?"
"Uh, yes, that guy is a little out of place." Yang Di spread his hands.
"It was a tragedy, he cut down a cash cow." Finney sighed helplessly.
The two of them turned around and walked together, and Yang Di said: "Let's go to the restaurant here to eat first, Miami is a tourist city, and there are many restaurants." ”
"Yes, I'm only going to run errands in the afternoon anyway. By the way, you guys seem to be playing the Lakers in the next game? ”
"That's right, let's play in Los Angeles tomorrow."
"Lakers, that's a horrible team, a team of four superstars, oh my god, I feel like it's going to be a tough game."
"Who knows? Anyway, I still have to give it a try. ”
Yang Di paused, and then asked, "Finney, I want to buy a car, do you have any suggestions?" ”
"Buying a car? Don't you live right next to the arena? Why buy a car? ”
"The main thing is that sometimes it's not convenient to travel," Yang Di said humbly, in fact, what he thought in his heart was that if he drove a car, it would be easy to move, such as going to the crew to pick up someone or something else, Yang Di found that he seemed to have changed a little bit recently, and it was getting more and more waves.
"Well, the main thing is to see what type of car you want, sedan? Roadster? Sport utility vehicle? Or a van? Finney shook his head and smiled: "Just kidding, you shouldn't like business cars, if the sedan and sports car are not customized, the model with your size is really not suitable, it is better to buy an off-road vehicle, safe, stable, and good power." ”
"For example?"
"For example, Jeep, Hummer, Land Rover or simply Mercedes-Benz have a good reputation, I think since you want to buy a car, choose from these brands of cars, anyway, you don't modify or do other things, just make do with it!"
"Well, let me think about it again, to be honest, I still have to take the driver's license test, it's quite troublesome."
"Why don't you buy a motorcycle first, it's easy to maneuver and convenient, I remember that you can drive a motorcycle, and this driver's license is fast."
"It's cold, haha." Yang Di touched his nose.
……
Finney visits Yang Di in Miami, and Yang Di wants to take him to play, but suddenly finds that this guy is obviously more familiar with Miami than him, and he knows exactly where there are interesting things. The two of them ran to a bowling alley, played a bit of bowling, and returned to the beach in the evening to visit the bar for a while.
In the evening, Yang Di arranged for Finney to check in to the hotel and return to the apartment by himself.
As soon as the door opened, Anne Hathaway ran out, hooked Yang Di's neck, stood on tiptoe and kissed him, "Why did you come back so late?" ”
"A friend from Chicago came to me and it took a little time to settle him."
"I'll see you tomorrow and I'm going to go to Los Angeles, and then we're going to go back to Miami after five away games."
"How long is it going to take?" Anne pursed her lips.
"Yes." Yang Di nodded.
"At that time, I guess our crew left Miami."
Yang Di let out a laugh, suddenly bent down, hugged Anne horizontally, then lowered his head, and kissed Anne's lips fiercely, "So before that, I want to feed you well, a broken little goblin." ”
"Come on, here you go!" Anne blushed and shouted that she was not afraid.
Yang Di carried her into the bedroom, and was about to mistreat her emotionally, but Anne suddenly stopped him.
"By the way, with a sleeve, these two days are dangerous."
"Okay, but that thing is so troublesome and uncomfortable......"
……
The Los Angeles Lakers are another big team in the NBA.
In previous years, the Lakers with "Big Shark" O'Neal as the core achieved major success, winning three consecutive championships from 00 to 02, which was almost unstoppable.
However, last season, the Lakers lost 2-4 to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.
Although the team later used Robert Horry, who missed 38 three-pointers and 36 missed three-pointers in the playoffs, as a scapegoat, the real state of the show is that there is less connection between inside and outside, inaccurate three-point shooting, and it is difficult to open up space, and O'Neal's lack of toe surgery in the summer may also be a major reason.
Under various factors, the Lakers, who lost the playoffs, made a comeback this summer, first with the addition of veteran Karl Malone with a base salary, and then with a mid-level exception to sign Gary Payton, forming an unprecedented Super Four. Who knew that before the super battleship began to set sail, Kobe Bryant suffered the famous "Eagle County Incident" this summer.
Kobe Bryant, who was mired in lawsuits, even missed a few games at the beginning of the season, and the point is, because after this incident, the atmosphere in the Lakers' locker room was far worse than expected.
Even coach Phil Jackson has publicly expressed his anger, Phil Jackson's daughter has been sexually assaulted before, and after Lenovo's encounter, he was naturally emotionally affected.
In short, although the Lakers at this time still have a good deck of cards on the court, the battleship is full of holes.
Race Day Night, Staples.
It's not the first time Yang Di has come to Los Angeles, he has also tried out with the Clippers before, and he is very impressed by the Staples arena.
"There's a lot of stars who come out to watch the Lakers play." Odom's eyes lit up when he talked about the unique scenery of the West Coast and the sight of Stapusley.
He spent four seasons with the Clippers, and Los Angeles was like his home.
"It's close to Hollywood, after all." Wade smiled at Yang Di and made an expression that a man understands.
"The Lakers have been really fierce this season, and this is the first time I've seen four superstars get together. Karl Malone has just been with the Jazz and Lakers for so many years, and he still joined for a championship at a low price. Alston was a little worried about the night game, he was born on the street, and he always had a sense of righteousness, and he didn't approve of Karl Malone's behavior anyway.
"It's the end of my career, and it's understandable." Wade sighed, what a heroic twilight.
Yang Di asked, "Kobe Bryant played today, right?" ”
"Definitely on the field, he seems to have missed the first few games, and now he is still running at both ends, on the one hand, he has to solve the case in the court, and when he comes back to the field, he has to participate in the game." Wade was concerned about Kobe Bryant and said according to what he knew.
"It's not easy, so that he can still be in competitive form?"
"Why not? Kobe Bryant is just 25 years old this year, and I feel that he is at the peak of his body, although he can't participate in daily training, but according to his ability, he can still beat 90% of the players in the same position in the league. ”
"Everyone is three wins in a row, I can't win, I'm not afraid of them anyway." Haslem is eager to beat such a star-studded Lakers team, and that's pretty cool.
Odom laughed, "After the game, I can show you around." ”
He emphasized the word turn, and everyone suddenly showed a knowing smile, Yang Di couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that this was a trip to the west for 5 consecutive away games, if the head coach knew, wouldn't he just break the dog's leg?
