Chapter 114: Leisure Before Law Enforcement
I have to say that the level of US imperialism in terms of sports is really a small picture.
Except for China and Russia, which can barely compete with it in the past, it is the rhythm of the rest of the world in most sports.
Basically, as long as the US imperialists want to participate in sports competitions, it should be said that they can play very well.
Therefore, in the past two years, the level of English football, which was originally not popular in the United States, has also increased dramatically with the increase in attention and development efforts. Their strength has leapt to the forefront of the world, and they can reach the level of the top 16 of the World Cup.
Such a football team, coupled with the excellent sports operation and management methods of the US imperialism itself, should not be underestimated at all!
It can even be said that the England team, which is known as the old and powerful "European Chinese team", does not necessarily have the upper hand against the American imperialist football team.
Moreover, many members of the national team of the United States have experience in playing in the European League, such as their main goalkeeper and captain Howard, who has worked hard in the Premier League for many years and belongs to the preferred goalkeeper of the Premier League mid-tier team Everton. The group of people represented by him is even more intimate with the England team.
Therefore, the international A-level friendly match that Li Xuan is about to enforce is really a very high-quality game, and it can obviously add a new touch to his relatively small experience in law enforcement in international competitions, and he should still enjoy it.
Due to the urgency of time, Li Xuan did not return to China first, but flew directly from Goryeo to Los Angeles.
On this plane flight, Li Xuan no longer had any adventures and situations at all, and he basically learned various Chinese languages except for sleeping, and lived quite a fulfilling life.
Of course, just after the plane landed smoothly at Los Angeles International Airport, there were still professionals from the American Imperialist Football Association commissioned by FIFA to greet Li Xuan, as well as several other assistant referees who arrived from other places one after another.
Therefore, Li Xuan does not need to worry about follow-up issues during this trip, the US imperialists and FIFA officials have already arranged everything very properly.
What Li Xuan needs to do is to experience the different customs of the United States for the first time, and then partner with a few assistant referees to get acquainted with it.
Although the other assistant referees are all Europeans, they are no strangers to Li Xuan, a young Chinese referee, and then they have a very professional attitude.
As a result, they quickly became acquainted with each other, and Li Xuan did not have to worry about the cooperation and communication of the official competition in the future.
Because of this, Li Xuan was able to quickly squeeze out his free personal time and go around the city of Los Angeles. He really went to Hollywood and other places by himself, looked for several giant film companies in his impression, and tried to meet a few Hollywood beautiful stars to feast his eyes.
It's a pity that he didn't have much luck this time, except for just seeing a lot of film companies and ordinary practitioners in various entertainment circles, he just found a few familiar actors, but he didn't see any of the Hollywood superstars.
Li Xuan, who regretted it, could only live on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the end, and imagined that when he became a big star in the future, his handprint could also be printed here.
Of course, it wasn't until afterwards that Li Xuan finally remembered that many Hollywood stars actually lived in wealthy areas like Beverly Hills or Malibu Beach. He wandered around the locations of these companies in Hollywood, and naturally there was no way to meet a few serious big-name stars.
Fortunately, Li Xuan didn't particularly care about this, and then decided to go to the Staples Center in Los Angeles to watch an NBA basketball game, where there are often many celebrities and stars.
Moreover, Kobe Bryant, the owner of the Staples Center, is also a well-known basketball star in Los Angeles and around the world, no less famous than many stars.
Although Li Xuan's favorite basketball star is not Kobe, he is quite impressed by this paranoid ability, and it is definitely not a loss to watch his basketball game.
Because the time was really in a hurry, the Lakers tickets that Li Xuan temporarily purchased were really expensive, and he just bought the VIP seats in the first row.
Fortunately, Li Xuan is now rich, and several commercial companies have recently negotiated endorsements and other matters with him, so he definitely doesn't have to worry about money.
The only thing that worries him now is that he quickly found a few professionals to help him take care of these trivial economic affairs.
Of course, these things need to be done slowly.
In his private time before the game between the United States and England, it is better to enjoy the charm of NBA basketball games, and not to pay attention to the various troubles of money-making work for the time being.
In fact, in this NBA game, the opponent of the Los Angeles Lakers is the Detroit Pistons from the eastern United States.
In particular, Kobe Bryant will face his true best friend, and Maddie, who has been alongside him in the past, but is now one to the left and the other to the right.
Speaking of Maddie, a basketball star, in fact, his popularity in China is naturally very strong with Yao Ming's popularity, and he was even completely worthy of Kobe Bryant for a time. Li Xuan is also familiar with this superstar who has been pinned on by countless Chinese basketball fans, so he is even more interested in the content of this game.
Li Xuan very much wants to appreciate these two players who have a kaleidoscope of technical flow and attack together, and dedicate a wonderful technical duel together, even if Maddie has sunset due to injury problems.
When Li Xuan appeared in front of his seat in the Staples Arena in time, the two teams were in the pre-game warm-up training.
Then, as in the legend, Kobe and Maddie, two good friends, holding basketballs, were already chatting quite intimately on the side, and seemed to say something funny.
Li Xuan was lucky that because the seats were relatively close, he could still hear the general conversation between the two guys.
It turned out that these two guys were now bragging, each saying how many points they wanted to score on each other's heads, and Kobe Bryant also deliberately ridiculed Maddie's current injury, saying that he couldn't do it at all.
Then, the two of them also played with each other, very intimate and natural, and the relationship was very good.
However, probably because the action of the fight was a little bigger, the basketball that the two of them were originally holding rolled down one after another, and actually ran to Li Xuan's feet.
Li Xuan was unceremonious, grabbed the two basketballs, and observed them carefully, and had no intention of returning them immediately.
"Hey bro, give me the ball!"
Kobe Bryant suddenly discovered this situation, and immediately shouted politely to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan smiled when he saw this, and deliberately wanted to communicate with these two, and then deliberately provoked: "Hey, Kobe, I happened to hear the conversation between you and T-MAC. So, I'm suddenly curious now, you two are standing still and throwing a ball into the long three-point shot, who can guarantee it?"
Bryant was stunned for a moment, and then immediately burst out laughing: "Give me the ball!"
Li Xuan threw a ball casually, only to see that Kobe Bryant didn't need to be adjusted, and threw it casually, and the basketball fell into the net accurately!
"See?" After scoring the goal, Kobe Bryant immediately made a fist celebration to Li Xuan, and then squeezed his eyes at Maddie next to him.
Maddie immediately opened her sleepy eyes and raised her hand, which was also looking for Li Xuan to ask for the ball.
Li Xuan also hurriedly threw the ball over, and then waited to appreciate the goal.
Sure enough, with a bang, it was neat, and Maddie's ultra-long three-point score was also scored!
Bang Bang Bang!
Li Xuan immediately clapped his hands and expressed his admiration to the two: "I hope that tonight, I can see you guys constantly aligning and scoring goals like this!"
"Definitely!"
"Look!"
These two NBA stars are quite easy to get along with, and they have responded with a confident attitude in a timely manner.
Of course, Li Xuan was not able to continue to get closer to these two NBA stars, because the NBA referees suddenly entered the court together, and the game was about to start.
So, taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xuan also subconsciously paid attention to the three basketball referees in this game, ready to observe and understand what their specific work process was.
