(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward!) )
Although the capital of the United States is Washington, D.C., and the financial center is New York, in the eyes of countless older generation of Chinese, Los Angeles is the holy land in their hearts and their second hometown.
As early as the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century, many Chinese people who could not survive under the rule of the Qing Dynasty left their hometowns or took the initiative to go to the city to pan for gold, or were sold here as piglets as laborers, so as to take root and start a hard work.
Just like a weak country has no diplomacy, those Chinese who first settled in this city have no dignity at all, they do the hardest, dirtiest and most tiring work but can only get a pitiful salary than others, sometimes unlucky to meet a harsh and stingy boss, not to mention the salary, he may be beaten and abused for working for nothing.
In the first few years, the experience of the Chinese in Los Angeles was a history of blood and tears, they only had obligations but no power, only pay but no gain, doing heavy rough work every day, but not even as good as pigs and dogs, and suffering from the oppression of local gangs.
Gradually, the bullied Chinese realized the importance of unity, so they began to hold together, mainly with relatives and fellow townsmen to form large and small hometown associations to fight against local forces, after a brutal bloody battle between the two sides, the Chinese who were not afraid of death finally made a name for themselves and had a trace of living space in a foreign country.
Among these Chinese forces, the Fuqing and Changle Gangs were the most famous in the early days, and later when the Hongmen and Qing Gangs, who could not get along in the country due to war and political reasons, moved their main forces, the Chinese finally had a certain say in the city.
Now, after a hundred years of vicissitudes, Los Angeles has become the largest gathering place of overseas Chinese, they have the ownership of the city more or less covertly, and the secret power is huge enough to shock all those in the know, a vice president of the United States once lamented that although the city hall building still hangs the American flag, but the actual ruler of it is no longer the Americans.
The first understanding of Los Angeles by Chinese people like Chen Chen is nothing more than the city's three iconic business cards - Chinatown, a Chinese gathering place, the Los Angeles Lakers, known as the Purple and Gold Army, and Hollywood, which mass-produces big stars.
It's a world of flowers, with the richest nightlife in the world, bars, dance halls and casinos everywhere, a completely different cultural atmosphere and exotic atmosphere, and a lot of decadence, confusion, excitement and passion.
Since he came here, Chen Chen was not ready to ride a horse to raise flowers in the manor of An Jia's manor every day, at the instigation of An Bao'er, he decided to use a critical eye to fully understand the city, so accompanied by An Yue, they came to the pride of the city, the Staples Arena, home of the Los Angeles Lakers, to watch the first game of the 01-02 NBA Finals.
Tonight, the Staples Arena, which can accommodate nearly 20,000 people, was full of seats, and the game had not yet started, but the atmosphere at the scene was already extremely high under the encouragement of DJ, and countless fans were frantically shouting the names of the two people - Shaquille. O'Neal, Kobe. Bryant!
They are the stars of the Lakers, the hottest inside-outside duo in the NBA today, they have teamed up to win two consecutive O'Brien Cups, and as long as they win another championship this year, they will complete the three-in-a-row feat and officially establish their own purple and gold dynasty.
In fact, no one in the audience will doubt that they can't do it, because this year's Lakers Finals opponent is the Nets, although the Nets have a triple-double King Jason. Kidd, who owns Kenyon. Martin, but it is clear that its overall strength is far inferior to that of the Lakers who have O'Neal in his prime and Kobe Bryant who is in his prime. …,
As a reborn, Chen Chen didn't pay much attention to this event before Yao Ming entered the NBA, but he had a die-hard fan brother of Kobe Bryant at home, so he still had some understanding of this team, if the hurricane formed by his little butterfly's wings did not blow here, the Lakers would sweep the Nets 4:0 this year to win the championship.
Although he knew the final result, this did not prevent Chen Chen from enjoying the game, An Yue got a few VIP tickets out of nowhere, and at this time they were sitting in the first row of the arena, not far from them was the Lakers' player box.
An Baoer, a little girl who grew up in Los Angeles, is a super fan of the Lakers, and at her strong request, Chen Chen and others also wore the Lakers' home jersey, and the little girl liked Kobe Bryant so she chose No. 8, and he chose No. 24 after thinking about it.
The game began with the frenzied screams of the fans, according to tradition, the Lakers' first ball was handed to the team's boss O'Neal, who was at the peak of his career, and his dominance was unmatched in today's NBA league, even if compared to the greatest center in NBA history, few people could compete with him at his peak.
Ao Fat's offensive methods are very simple but very practical, P shares arch, small broken steps and jumps, like a black King Kong, the burst is a two-handed slam dunk, the basket is on the back of the horse, the center of the Nets is very pitiful to fall victim to Ao Fat's violent dunk, was knocked out of the bottom line and sat on the ground.
"Shaquille, detain those crumbs!" In the cheers of the fans at the scene, the funny Ao Fat played the overlord step, which made the fans laugh.
In the noisy and frenzied atmosphere, Chen Chen, who wore a ball cap, always sat quietly there and watched the game, this is the best moment of this Lakers team, and it won't be long before the gap between Kobe and O'Neal will become bigger and bigger in order to compete for the position of the team's boss, until it breaks completely, even if they have the strongest combination in the history of the four kings in the 03-04 season, it will not help, and finally defeat Detroit, and then the sharks will swim eastward, and the Purple and Gold dynasty will collapse.
In the next three or four years, the Purple and Gold Army collapsed, until the Lakers traded Gasol, Odom, and Bynum to be reborn, but the Lakers at that time had already lost the glory of the dynasty, although they were still giants, but they did not have the spirit of today's kings.
Looking at the tacit understanding between O'Neal and Kobe Bryant at the moment, thinking about their future scolding and breaking, Chen Chen was a little distracted, but at this moment, a neat exclamation sounded in the arena, and I saw a shot from the Nets slammed into the frame and bounced out and flew off the court.
What's even worse is that Ao Fat didn't know which tendon he had taken wrong, so he chased the basketball and jumped to the top, and the huge body of nearly 300 pounds crushed over like Mount Tai pressing the top, and it happened that the direction he pounced on was exactly where Chen Chen was......
Ao Fat's weight and impact power, its power can be imagined, ordinary people are absolutely not dead or crippled by him like this, so the fans around screamed and scattered, and several familiar but unnamed Hollywood female stars sitting behind Chen Chen were even more frightened, crawling and running with their hands and feet, and at the end they kindly yelled at them to let them escape quickly......
Chen Chen woke up like a dream, looked back at An Yue and Xu Fenghuang who were snuggling in his arms on the left and right, smiled gently, reached out and bounced the basketball that smashed over like a cannonball, and then spread out his right hand and pressed it on the big shark O'Neal who rushed up out of control, grabbed his purple jersey and lifted him up with a slight effort with his right hand, and after lifting it high above his head, he threw him out and landed back in the field.
"Oh my God!" The scene of O'Neal saving the ball happened to be filmed by camera tracking and projected on the big screen at the scene, but at this moment, the focus of the audience was obviously no longer him, but the handsome young man who easily lifted him above his head, who weighed nearly 300 pounds. ..., After the fans at the scene saw the shocking every move through the big screen replay, the entire stadium suddenly erupted in a tsunami-like exclamation, everyone was shocked and couldn't believe their eyes, a teenager who looked weak and weak actually lifted the humanoid shark, which is incredible!
“kungfu! chinesekungfu! Thanks to Bruce Lee's blessing, Lao Mei still has some understanding of Chinese Guoshu, and the DJ on the scene immediately exclaimed excitedly and loudly, this amazing scene is no less than the shock that Bruce Lee brought to the world when he knocked his opponent six meters out with a punch of Wing Chun.
“thisisamiracle!”
“socrazy!”
Kung fu is very popular overseas, it can be said that it is a cultural business card of China in the world, the fans at the scene saw such a magical feat of a Chinese teenager and applauded, and the shocking scene was played back on the big screen over and over again, and a good finals seemed to instantly change the protagonist.
An Yue leaned on her sweetheart's shoulder and smiled softly: "You are famous, I bet that the headline of the Los Angeles entertainment version tomorrow will definitely be you." ”
Chen Chen spread his hands and said helplessly: "You know, I'm a person who likes to be low-key, but I can't help it, your man is too outstanding, too dazzling and too stylish, and he is popular everywhere!" Hey, it's hard to give up on your natural beauty! ”
"You've got it, said you're fat and you're still panting?" Xu Fenghuang couldn't see the little man pretending to be b, and said: "What's the big deal, there are not a thousand but eight hundred people who can lift the black fat man out like you, foreigners are rare and weird, look at you proudly." ”
Chen Chen chuckled mysteriously, but didn't say anything, but An Yue shook her head and said: "No, there are indeed many people in this world who can lift people weighing about three hundred pounds and throw them out, but it is estimated that there will be no more than fifty people who can lift weights as calmly as our little husband, Sister Xu, if you look carefully, the big guy didn't stumble after being thrown out, and landed directly and steadily, this is very difficult, masters below the half-step grandmaster don't have such a good ability to control the strength, it is difficult to do it." ”
"Really!" The glamorous looked up and re-watched the slow-motion replay and nodded convincingly, then pouted at the little man and said, "Count you amazing!" ”
Chen Chen smiled and said nothing.
The game restarted, but the attention of the fans had already shifted to the mysterious Chinese boy who staged the magic, and the director was also very cooperative, frequently pointing the camera at them. O'Neal is no longer Kobe Bryant. Bryant, not even Jason. Kidd, it's him!
