Chapter 159: The Gettysburg Address
After the victory over the Nuggets, the Clippers completed their first win in an eight-game road trip, which can be regarded as a good start. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the United States did not have a good start, there is also a saying that everything is difficult at the beginning, and with a good start, it is a step forward in the cause of advancement.
After playing the Nuggets, the Clippers did not immediately fly to the next city, but chose to travel to the next city tomorrow, Washington, the capital of the United States.
And there were two days of rest in between, and the race could not start until the 24th.
But when it comes to the Washington Wizards, there's a big thing that happened recently, and that's the Arenas gungate incident.
All of a sudden, this former All-Star, this former super scorer, suddenly became a figure that everyone shouted at, and he was banned from all of a sudden, and Qin Zheng also knew that Arenas had never rebounded since then, and he was an NBA passerby since then.
"Even if it passes like a meteor, it has also shone on the earth!" Qin Zheng's feelings for Arenas are still very special, from a second-round show to an All-Star, from an unpopular player to a 60-point chop on Kobe's head, Arenas is simply an inspirational figure who counterattacks, more inspirational than Xiaolinzi, but unfortunately black people are blacks, and they are also black people who grew up in the slums, and they are always inseparable from fox friends and dog friends, and they are always inseparable from guns, branches, and hemp, and everything is one of the reasons for his fall.
"Stay away from guns, sticks, hemp, cherish life." Although guns are not banned in some places in the United States, for Qin Zheng, he has never worn a pistol by his side.
As a man, it's impossible not to love guns, but California is also the city with the strictest gun control in the United States, only handguns are allowed, and guns and bullets must be separated.
I rub! After that, when something dangerous happened, do you still want to get out of the car and take out the bullet from the trunk? He was killed a long time ago.
So Qin Zheng never carried a pistol anymore when he was angry, and he still had a trace of envy for Yao Ming, who made the family a player in Texas, in Texas, some shooting ranges even have Pershing tanks, M60 antique tanks like this, not to mention Gatling, Browning This kind of heavy machine gun, for individuals to buy guns, it is just not allowed to buy standard automatic weapons.
Although Qin Zheng sighed at Arenas, he was not sympathetic to his approach, they were all adults, and they had to take responsibility for what they did.
After a night's rest at the Hilton Hotel, the Clippers took a plane to Washington, D.C., after lunch the next day.
Although it was only three o'clock when he arrived in Washington, Qin Zheng rested in the hotel early, he didn't feel anything about American nightclubs, and he didn't want to be a part of being robbed by blacks in the middle of the night, let alone being shot black.
There is no capital crime, this is also a bad impression of Qin Zheng towards the United States, how can intentional homicide not be sentenced to death?
Since it was a game on the night of the 24th, Dunleavy gave the players a day off on the 23rd, although there were not too many rules, but just left a sentence that everyone dared not take to heart. "Come back for dinner in the evening, whoever doesn't come back, don't come back tomorrow, just take a plane to Boston!"
But what is there to do during the day? Not to mention that Qin Zheng doesn't know, even this black player doesn't know, if it's okay to talk at night, just find a nightclub, or go to see the stripper dancer dance, during the day, people are resting.
Later, it was Qin Zheng who decided to go to Washington to have a look, although he had lived in the United States for ten years, Qin Zheng had never been to Washington, so this time Qin Zheng planned to go to the White House to have a look.
For Qin Zheng's thoughts, the other players scoffed, what is there to see in the White House, does Qin Zheng want to go and see ******?
To be honest, Qin Zheng really wanted to see ******, a comrade who was a communist party in Guanhai, but Qin Zheng also knew that this was basically impossible.
Although the White House was open at the right time, not all rooms were open, and Qin Zheng could only watch some unimportant rooms.
Qin Zheng was so big that he stood out in the crowd, and when he came to the White House, he was directly recognized.
And it's also Chinese, this is a tour group from China, and they also came to the White House to play.
As for why the White House? Of course, I want to see what the great president of the United States looks like at work, and I usually have no chance to go to the South China Sea in China, although it was opened in the 80s, but now the door has long been closed.
For the Chinese people, it is still necessary to take a look at the place where the first person in the world works and lives.
In fact, the first person to discover Qin Zheng was not a tour group from China, but students who came to study in the United States, they recognized Qin Zheng, and then all Chinese people saw Qin Zheng.
For a while, they didn't look at what was going on in the White House, but chose to take a group photo with Qin Zheng, and Qin Zheng had no objection to the group photo, anyway, he had nothing to do today.
It was almost an hour after taking a group photo with this tour group of more than 30 people, and the staff of the White House did not come out to stop it, nor did they take Qin Zheng seriously, let alone invite Qin Zheng to visit it.
After eating at noon, Qin Zheng went to the Capitol again, wanting to see the place where the United States actually controlled the work of the group, but unfortunately he didn't go in.
Then Qin Zheng went west to the Lincoln Memorial and visited Lincoln, which is one of the top three presidential memorials in American history.
Qin Zheng even saw a marble carved speech manuscript in the memorial hall, "Gettysburg Address", but Qin Zheng could not memorize a sentence.
But Qin Zheng still felt that the conflict of interests back then was really touching, and the vested interests were also very touching, portraying Lincoln as the greatest president in American history, and then shooting him because of interests.
Walking southwest from the Lincoln Memorial, enough for a river, Qin Zheng came to an open place, and there was a building in the open place, although it was not high, but it was absolutely famous, this is the Pentagon.
However, the Pentagon is not open to the public, and Qin Zheng did not have the opportunity to go to this place to see how American soldiers work and how they command wars here again and again.
After Qin Zheng took a turn around the Pentagon, he took a taxi back to the hotel.
It's not that Qin Zheng can't drive, it's not that Qin Zheng doesn't have a car, but when sightseeing is different from driving slowly.
On the way back, passing by the Lincoln Memorial again, Qin Zheng thought of a sentence from the Gettysburg speech he saw today, "We will make the republic free and reborn under God's blessing." ”
"Tut-tut! What a hypocrite!! (To be continued.) )
