At the Los Angeles Coliseum (Staples Arena was reopened in '99), there were only three away teams that didn't get boos: the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Bulls.

The two teams in Los Angeles are called away because of the local derby, while the Bulls are because of Jordan's charisma.

By this time, Jordan and Kobe Bryant had scored more than 30 points, but Jordan had 12 assists to revitalize the entire team. And Kobe Bryant's assists are only two.

During the pause, the drums in the arena suddenly intensified, and the searchlight-like lights began to shine everywhere, which was the NBA's famous Kiss Cam session.

Zhang Chen stood up: "Do you want to eat ice cream? I'm going to buy one?"

Natalie tilted her head and looked at Zhang Chen: "I don't want it." ”

Zhang Chen touched his nose: "Oh, then I'll buy one for myself." "Run briskly towards the ice cream truck.

Natalie wrinkled her nose, "Coward." ”

Su Zhuorui didn't have time, and it was impossible for Zhang Chen to watch the game with Shen Nanpeng and Wu Tian, so he made an appointment with Natalie.

In order to facilitate acting, Natalie has now transferred to a high school in Los Angeles and lives a 9-to-5 student life every day.

Natalie's feelings about Zhang Chen are a little complicated, and frankly, she doesn't mind trying to start a super friendship relationship with the other party.

This boy has seen the most unbearable side of himself, and he has also seen the most real side of himself, and he is very easy to get along with, and he doesn't have to live with a mask every day.

But at the same time, they are also easy for each other not to take another step forward.

Two minutes later, Zhang Chen came back with a cone.

Natalie stared at the replay of the Kiss Cam and laughed: "The couple that the camera was aimed at just now must have come out to cheat, and they hurriedly turned their heads to cover their faces when they saw themselves on the big screen." Speaking of this, Natalie turned her head and said, "Did we do the same if the camera caught us just now?"

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "I don't care, but you're miserable, tomorrow the newspaper will publish the news that you are in love, it depends on how you explain it to your parents." ”

Natalie's family upbringing was very strict, the Israelis were not inferior to the Chinese in family concepts, and Natalie's father was conservative and especially strict with Natalie.

Natalie sighed, "Sometimes I really want to be eighteen years old and be able to do whatever I want." ”

Zhang Chen was curious: "What do you want to do that you can't do now?"

Natalie thought for a moment: "A lot, such as smoking, drinking, swearing, and attending parties that are all drugs, alcohol, and sex." Natalie turned her head to look at Zhang Chen's expression, "Haha, lied to you." There are two things I want to do the most, guess what?"

Zhang Chen put away his surprised expression: "Can you make a good movie without restrictions?"

Natalie smiled: "This is right, because of my age, I am too limited in the choice of roles, and what about the other one?"

Zhang Chen frowned: "Going to study at Harvard? No, this is an ideal, and it has nothing to do with adulthood." What is it? I can't guess. ”

Natalie put her hands on her cheeks: "I want to go back to Israel, to Jerusalem." ”

Zhang Chen was quite surprised by this answer: "Why?"

Natalie looked at Zhang Chen: "Why do you want to return to China?"

Zhang Chen said: "I'm sorry, I mean, you came to the United States when you were very young, you should be very unfamiliar with your hometown, right?"

At this time, it was the Bulls attacking, and the audience was shouting "Defense!Defense!".

"holy ****!" The voice of the on-site narrator was both frustrated and impassioned. Even in the last minute or two of the third quarter, Jordan still maintained his full energy, shook off Kobe Bryant and Van Exel in two consecutive feints, and rode Jones to a two-handed dunk.

Jordan went completely crazy.

Zhang Chen and Natalie also applauded.

Replaced by the Lakers offense, the audience becomes silent, which is also the advantage of the home court, the offense needs to be calm, the defense needs passion, and the only "bang" sound of the basketball hitting the floor is heard on the court.

Natalie said, "As you said, my memory of Jerusalem is very vague, I left there when I was three years old and came to the United States. Most of the time, I don't think I'm any different from the average American kid. ”

"But last year, ah, no, it was the year before last, when Israeli Prime Minister Abhadin Rabin visited the United States, he went out of his way to meet with Israelis who had achieved something in the United States, don't laugh, I know I don't have anything to achieve now, but that's how it was then, I also went. ”

"Rabin is a kind old man in my heart. But it didn't take long for him to be assassinated by Jewish extremists. ”

"I was very touched by this incident, you know, a man was talking and laughing in front of you a month ago, but a month later, the news came that he had been assassinated. And this person is still such a peace-loving person, the person who killed him is still the compatriot he has always wanted to protect. ”

"Under the leadership of Rabin and Arafat, Palestine and Israel have achieved peace that has never been seen before, but why do people always not cherish this peace?"

"So, I've always wanted to go to the land where I was born and see what is the reason for the killing and the war. ”

"I asked my father if he could send me back to Jerusalem for a while, but he angrily refused. ”

"I can understand that it took him half his life to get out of that most dangerous place in the world, I am his only daughter, and he certainly does not want me to go back, nor does he want me to be in danger. ”

"But there is always one thing in life that you want to do and must do, and I never thought that I could solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but I just wanted to know why. ”

Natalie suddenly looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Do you think I'm naïve?"

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "How is it possible, you surprised me, although you mentioned this topic to me when we first met, I thought you were accosting me through this topic." ”

Natalie pouted, "You're not tall or handsome, and you're not a sports star, so why should I strike up a conversation with you?"

Zhang Chen smiled: "Of course, it's because of talent." ”

Natalie was quite speechless: "Okay, okay, but what you said at the beginning of the misunderstanding came from the lack of communication, which really makes me feel very reasonable, maybe it is because of the estrangement between the two sides that communication is not so easy, there will be so much bloodshed and war." ”

Zhang Chen secretly said in his heart, how is it possible, with the establishment of more efficient communication channels, as the two sides of the conflict get to know each other more and more, the conflict will only become more and more intense, and the reason for war and killing is never ignorance, but interests.

As long as there is a conflict of interest between the two sides, there will be a war, and even if there is no conflict of interest between the two parties to the war, but the leaders of the two sides want to use the war to satisfy some personal goals, it will also cause a war, but this also belongs to the category of interests.

But Zhang Chen naturally wouldn't slap himself in the face, and he had to continue to pretend to be forced to give a speech at Stanford.

As the music played, the third quarter ended.

It's not water, it's not water, it's not water, it's important to say it three times.

Not the Virgin, not the Virgin, not the Virgin, the same important words are said three times.
