Chapter 713: An Unexpected Encounter

……

After staying at Qi's house for an afternoon, Liu Dong did not go home, but went directly to the airport.

At around 7 p.m., I boarded a direct flight from Beijing to Los Angeles. Thirteen hours later, at around 8 p.m. Beijing time and 7 p.m. Los Angeles time, Liu Dong walked out of Los Angeles International Airport with a simple backpack on his back.

"Xiaodong, here?"

Looking at Li Yuncong, who was waving his hands, Liu Dong hurriedly walked over and said with a look of surprise: "Brother Li, how do you know that I am on this plane?" ”

"Hey, the old man has already called me, let's go, I have already booked the hotel for you!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded, the old man in Li Yuncong's mouth must be Li Lao.

"By the way, how are you doing in Los Angeles?" After getting in the car, Liu Dong said.

"It's okay, anyway, Hollywood, Santa Monica Beach, Chinatown and everything you need to see have been visited! If it weren't for the old man saying you were coming over this time, maybe we would have to go to the next stop tomorrow! ”

"What? Are you ready to keep playing? Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Of course, marriage may be like this once in a lifetime, if you don't have fun, how can you be worthy of yourself! And he returned home. If you imagine such unrestrained free play now, I'm afraid there is no chance! Li Yuncong said with a little emotion.

Of course, this is also the helplessness of the children of the family!

"That's right. Xiaodong. I've already bought a ticket from Los Angeles to New York, obviously a 4 p.m. flight, no problem, right? ”

"No problem!" Liu Dong nodded, anyway, he didn't have to get jet lag, and Liu Dong wouldn't feel tired after flying for a few days in a row.

"That's good! …… Wenwen has already prepared dinner for us, and when we're done, I'll take you around Los Angeles, even if you don't stay here long. But it can't be in vain! ”

Coming out of the airport, it took about half an hour to arrive at the hotel where Li Yuncong and his wife stayed!

After putting the luggage in the room, Li Yuncong and Zhuang Wen's Liu Dong had dinner together in the hotel.

"Yun Cong, you go out with Liu Dong, I won't go!" Zhuang Wen said.

"Okay, then you can rest in the hotel, call me if you have something!"

After speaking, after Li Yuncong settled Zhuang Wen, he walked out of the hotel with Liu Dong.

Los Angeles is full of light at night, and the second largest city in the United States makes Liu Dong feel the extraordinary prosperity here. Of course, the exotic scenery in his eyes is also attracting his attention.

"How many Chinese people are here?" Liu Dong was surprised.

All the way. Liu Dong has seen a lot of yellow people with the same skin and similar appearance as himself. He hadn't seen that in the Netherlands before.

"It's no surprise that Los Angeles is the largest Chinese city in the United States, with more than 400,000 Chinese Americans here!"

After nodding, Liu Dong said, "By the way, Brother Li, where are you going to play next?" Are you still ready to stay in the U.S.? ”

"Of course, Los Angeles is just our first stop in the United States, and then we are going to go to Las Vegas, the world casino!"

"Las Vegas?" Liu Dong frowned.

Liu Dong has also heard of the reputation of the world's gambling city.

"Why do you want to go there? And gambling is not a good idea! ”

"Hehe, Xiaodong, you're wrong, although Las Vegas is the capital, it is also a tourist attraction in the United States, since you are here, how can you not go to it! But if you go together, it would be great, and when the time comes, we will kill all sides in Las Vegas together, and the money we make will definitely go to the sea! And it's all a no-brainer! ”

Hearing this, Liu Dong's heart was also moved, now the remaining US dollars in his hand are only about 50 million, although it should be enough to buy two Yuanmingyuan beast heads, but Christie's auction will definitely be more than one or two lots, I believe that the precious art will definitely not be one or two pieces, if there is no money in his hand, Liu Dong will not be able to buy it even if he sees it.

So, although Liu Dong is not addicted to gambling, he doesn't mind going to Las Vegas to take a walk and get a sum of money to exchange for his favorite artwork.

But after thinking about it, Liu Dong finally shook his head, tomorrow is already September 10th, and when he takes the plane to New York, it will be the 11th, the preview of Christie's auction has begun, and there is no time for him to go to Las Vegas again.

"Go and have fun, I don't have a chance!" Liu Dong shook his head.

Seeing this, Li Yuncong was also a little disappointed in his heart.

Liu Dong's gambling skills he had seen with his own eyes, and he would definitely be able to make a lot of money if he was by his side, but now he has no chance!

“catchingthethief！”

At this moment, a sharp and young woman's voice suddenly rang out on the street.

Both Liu Dong and Li Yuncong are no strangers to English, and this sentence translated into Chinese is three words 'catch thieves'!

"It seems that the security of US imperialism is not very good, right?" After complaining a little in his heart, looking at the figure in front of him who was running towards him quickly, Liu Dong saw the opportunity and quickly stretched out his long legs.

"Bang, oops!"

Tripping over someone while running fast, you can imagine how bad the fall was.

The young thief in front of him, who was twenty-six or seventeen years old and of medium stature, fell to the ground and rolled three times before stopping.

"Yellow pig, you are looking for ...... death!"

But before the white-skinned pickpocket could get up to trouble Liu Dong, he was kicked to the ground by a girl in jeans and a pink vest who came out of the crowd.

"Fucker, bastard, you dare to grab Miss Ben's bag!"

Seeing the girl's right foot in high heels kicking the young pickpocket's lower body, Liu Dong couldn't help but shudder in his heart, looking at the pickpocket who couldn't stop screaming below. Shook his head.

"Brother Li. Are all women abroad so tough? Liu Dongdao.

"Actually. It's also my first time seeing you! Watching the girl scolding and beating the pickpocket who had no power to resist, Li Yuncong's crotch was also cold.

"It's better to be a Chinese woman!" Before getting married, Li Yuncong, who was still envious of foreign oceanmars, instantly threw his thoughts out of the clouds.

It wasn't until the police came to save the pickpocket from the girl that the sudden farce came to an end. And the crowd around to watch the excitement finally dispersed!

Just when Liu Dong and Li Yuncong were about to leave, the word 'wait' came from behind them!

Turning around, looking at the girl who had tidied up her golden hair and walked towards the two of them with her bag, Liu Dong was surprised.

"I didn't expect such a brutal woman to be quite beautiful!" Liu Dong said in his heart.

"Hello. My name is Scarlett. Thank you, Johnson, for your help! ”

"You're welcome! I think a lot of people do! ”

After the three greeted each other, Scarlett asked, "Are you Chinese?" ”

"That's right, we're here to visit Los Angeles!" Li Yuncong next to him said.

"Tourism?" After nodding, Scarlett continued: "It just so happens that I have two more tickets for the Lakers tonight's game here, and I will give them to you, which can be regarded as a reward for your help!" ”

Looking at the two tickets handed over by the other party, Liu Dong was about to refuse, because he was not interested in basketball or anything at all! I don't even know which onion the Lakers are!

But Li Yuncong took it.

"Thank you so much, we don't know where to go tonight!"

"Isn't it just a basketball game? As for being so excited? Liu Dong said in a low voice.

"Of course you don't know the reputation of the NBA and the Lakers when you never watch TV!"

Now that the Lakers have Kobe Bryant and Big Shark O'Neal, it's time to lay the foundation. And they are also the defending champions, and they have a lot of glory in the NBA, and Li Yuncong, who likes basketball, certainly knows his favorite team very well.

But he quickly reacted, "Didn't the NBA preseason start in mid-October?" Why is there a ball game now? ”

Scarlett couldn't understand the Chinese used by Liu Dong and the two when they spoke just now, but she understood this sentence.

"It's true that the NBA league hasn't started yet, but tonight it's an exhibition game between the Lakers and this year's NCAA champions Duke!" Saying this, Scarlett's face showed excitement.

As a veteran fan, Li Yuncong quickly understood that although the NBA is the highest level of basketball event in the eyes of foreign basketball fans, in the United States, the NCAA is obviously more concerned than the NBA.

Every March, the wave of basketball that swept the United States shifted from the NBA to the NCAA, and the college basketball league, known as "March Madness", also surpassed the NBA at this time. Almost everyone in the United States, from presidents to civilians, will be concerned about the ownership of this college basketball league championship.

Whether it is ratings, ticket revenue, or attention, etc., the NBA is not as good as the NCAA!

Looking at the heated discussion between Li Yuncong and Scarlett, Liu Dong really couldn't say anything at all, except for the occasional play with his classmates when he was in high school physical education class, he didn't know anything about basketball, let alone the NBA!

However, seeing that Li Yuncong was interested, Liu Dong didn't want to ruin his interest, anyway, at night, the antique market in Los Angeles is estimated to be empty, rather than wandering around the street and going to watch a ball game!

"Oh, by the way, I also made an appointment with a friend to introduce you to when the time comes!" Scarlett said.

"Well, I like to make friends the most!"

After Li Yuncong finished speaking, he took Liu Dong to follow the other party and walked forward, and it didn't take long to come to the Staples Arena, which had been completed for no more than two years. And it's also home to the Lakers.

From the 50's George. McCann to Elgin in the 60s. Baylor, Chamberlain in the 70s, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Johnson in the 80s, and now Kobe Bryant and the Big Sharks, the Lakers have won 10 championships and are the well-deserved supergiants in the entire NBA basketball league.

Therefore, even if it was just an exhibition game today, the flow of people queuing up in front of the Staples Arena still surprised Liu Dong, who arrived for the first time. (To be continued......)
