On October 31, 2007, on the eve of the Houston Rockets' away game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

"How long will you have to wait, my dear? Andy stood helplessly at the staircase on the first floor and shouted upstairs.

"Ah, well, well... Don't rush me. ”

Hearing Ivana's somewhat angry shout, Andy shook his head speechlessly, turned back to Kenny and said, "Let's load all the luggage in the car first, and we'll go straight to the airport after the race." ”

"Okay, boss. ”

Pedaling...

"It's so annoying, why are you urging me. Ivana walked briskly downstairs as she turned her head sideways and gave her left ear a black jewel earring, pursed her red lips and muttered dissatisfiedly.

Andy looked up at Ivana who walked downstairs, her blonde hair was coiled behind her head, full of mature and elegant charm, she couldn't help but be amazed, pure white flared long sleeves, a round-necked jacket like flowing cloud sleeves, and the waist was tightly tucked away, highlighting her already round and proud upper circumference, which made people unable to take their eyes off it, and had to sigh, too big, too much to make people want to nie.

A pair of black draped straight-leg pants, black heels with a three-point heel made a sound of kicking on the stairs, but the steady pace made people not worry about her twisting her foot at all.

'It's a game day, especially a high-profile game, and if we don't hurry, there's a real chance that we won't be able to move forward. ”

"I've long said that if you live in Los Angeles, a big city like New York with inconvenient transportation, helicopters are the most suitable means of transportation, and you have already booked one in New York, and you can book one here... ”

Ivana said and walked downstairs, and after kissing him on the face, she passed by, walked to the sofa in the living room, picked up a black and white Chanel handbag, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, and asked Andy, "Look at my eyeshadow, is it too deep?"

After Andy looked at it, he shook his head slightly and said, "It's not deep, it's just right, charming big eyes." ”

"Po-"

Ivana kissed Andy's face with red lips, smiled and showed her white teeth, reached out to hold Andy's arm, and smiled sweetly: "As long as you are satisfied, you can do it." ”

Andy shook his head with a smile, and walked out of the villa with a sweet smile on his beautiful girlfriend, the sun was setting, and there was a little dim light, as they walked out, they were immediately illuminated by a flash far away, reflecting Ivana's smiling face even more white and bright.

Staples Center, once the dream of many Commies, is located in downtown Los Angeles and is like a flying saucer as a whole.

When there are still 3 kilometers from the arena, you can see three buildings side by side in the distance with huge portraits of the Lakers' three historical centers Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar and O'Neal, intuitively proclaiming to people the Lakers' proudest center tradition.

Andy couldn't help but sneer when he saw O'Neal's portrait, it's really interesting Lakers, I really don't know whose face this is hitting.

As the cars got closer to the stadium, so did the number of cars on the road, and fans in purple and gold vests paved the roads on both sides.

Andy couldn't help but be speechless, the Lakers' ball market really didn't blow out, but looking at this posture, it definitely exceeded the number of people in Staples Arena, I really don't know what kind of excitement those fans who don't have tickets came to join in.

Finally came to the outside of the arena, Andy and Ivana got out of the car, and quickly walked into the arena under the leadership of the stadium staff and security guards who had been waiting for the meeting for a long time.

Listen to the staff introduce that there are 200 passages in the Staples Arena, I don't know if it's true or not, but Andy and his party did not find anyone else when they passed through the passage, I heard that tonight's focus battle attracted more than 200 media reports, and the fans were full, and the tickets for this ball were no longer grabbed, and most of the fans were waiting outside the stadium to watch!

Andy has a greasy feeling about this, his season opener is cheaper than the Los Angeles Lakers, he naturally won't go to any box to watch, sitting in the first row to watch the game, in addition to watching up close, the most important thing is to be captured by the camera, make a show, and wave it.

At the end of the passage, there was a bright light and a loud noise, and the lively scene could be felt completely, Andy and Ivana clasped their fingers, and slowly walked into the stadium as if it were day, crowded with people, full of fans filling the entire stadium.

Andy was led by the staff to a great vantage point on the edge of the pitch, and with the arrival of the two of them, some celebrities who also came to watch the game focused their eyes on the two.

Not long after the two sat down, Paris Hilton writhed like a peacock and came over to say hello, and Ivana also smiled very happily and hugged her and greeted her, as if the two were really good friends, and there was no discord at all.

Andy looked at the fake appearance of the two, and only complained in his heart, these women are all Bichi personalities, and after talking to Ivana, he took advantage of the warm-up time to come to the rest area of the Rocket team along the sideline.

"Hello boss... ”

"The boss... ”

。。。。。。

Andy's arrival made the veteran and new players of the Rockets come to say hello and show their faces.

"Changlu, welcome to join the Rockets, and Big Ben, I hope you have a good time in the Rockets... ”

Andy smiled and high-fived every player who greeted him, he is not yet seventy or eighty, and he doesn't need to pretend to be serious and respectful with a cold face, as a team owner, he should be more approachable and smile at every player, although the NBA is business, but the trade, the black face of the fire sale player does not need him to sing, the kind team boss is a good boss, even if he turns around, he can sell the player.

Changlu and Big Ben still have great expectations for joining the Rockets this time, after all, this year's lineup of the Rockets is really a bit scary, the peak of Yao plus Maddy, the league's best point guard, defensive titan Big Ben, plus Battier, the Boss of the Rockets, and being reinforced, can form another bench for a run-and-bomb lineup, and has the hope of impacting the championship.

That's why this game is so popular and full, everyone likes to watch the strong confrontation, and Andy also knows why it's hard to buy tickets, Nima, a large number of front-row positions are wearing yellow skin in Rockets uniforms, and all kinds of cards with yao written on them are held high, and they are very conspicuous in the Zijin lineup.

Andy is really sweating for those guys, Nima, your obviously provocative behavior, if the Lakers lose too badly, it will be easy to be attacked by angry fans.

"Coach, how's it going, are you happy with the team you are playing now, are you confident that you can win the game tonight?"

Old Nelson's tall figure was a little bloated and stood side by side with Andy, and when he heard the boss's question, he couldn't help but smile: "Boss, this is the opening game, the first game of the season, the players of the two teams will definitely be very nervous at the beginning, plus the new and old players have to try to run in, I'm afraid there is nothing exciting to see in the first quarter, but it's no problem to win this game, of course, as long as Kobe Bryant doesn't go berserk, although he is not Jordan, but he has the potential to be close to Jordan." ”

"Hey, you said I ... Forget it, everyone knows it's impossible, Nima, old Bass won't let go if he dies. Andy looked at the black mamba wearing a white sports suit on the side of the court, and said a little unwillingly.

"Hehe, boss, our team is also very strong, a black mamba can't beat a group of hungry wolves, look at his luck today, hehe, I have a way to deal with this poisonous snake!"

Andy watched old Nelson squint his eyes slightly and stare at Kobe Bryant on the court, and couldn't help but smile, the famous coach who was able to invent shark cutting tactics and almost play O'Neal to death is definitely not easy to get along with, which Andy is still very pleased with.

After Andy He Dayao chatted a few words, he returned to his position, Ivana was chatting with a blonde beauty next to him, and his return made Ivana and Andy recognize the identity of Cameron Diaz's eyes focused on him.

"Hello, Mr. Smith... ”

"Hello, Miss Diaz, it's a pleasure to meet you. Andy greeted him politely and sat down next to Ivana.

It didn't take long for the game to begin.

Da Yao jumped the ball successfully, and then the fast attack, and then... Striking iron.

Striking iron.

Or striking iron.

The two sides played wildly in the first five minutes, repeatedly missed shots, and every time Kobe, who had "give me the ball" written on his face, received a crazy boo from the entire Staples Center every time he got the ball.

Andy looked back at the audience behind him a little confused, and asked uncertainly, "Is this a boo?"

Ivana took Andy's arm intimately and replied with a smile, "Yes." ”

“HY?“

Ivana looked at her boyfriend a little speechlessly, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Don't you read the newspaper? This summer, Kobe Bryant asked to trade him, but the Lakers refused... ”

"Damn, I was in Brazil for the Games... Andy smiled bitterly as he watched the unruly black mamba continue to strike iron, retreat and run back to the half-court, just like again, shhh
