Chapter 282: Insomnia
Although China basically does not have the habit of large-scale shopping on Double 11 or even Double 12, in the United States, most of the United States has maintained a shopping festival for a long time on Christmas Day.
On this day, most shopping malls in the United States will have large discounts, and a large number of consumers will be in a large number of shopping malls several days in advance to see what they like and want not to have, and then before the mall opens on Christmas Day, those people have long lined up outside the mall one night, and when the mall opens, these long queues will be the first to re-enter the mall.
They couldn't see this kind of grand occasion in the morning, because it was already afternoon when they went out, but even so, when the three of them came to the most famous commercial street in Los Angeles, the street was still crowded with people, and many people were already carrying large bags and small bags in their hands.
"Let's go, let's go here." glanced at a shopping mall, and Ivanka pulled Lai Xiaohu and Donald into it respectively. In fact, the three of them don't have anything to buy, and the main reason why they came out this afternoon is to feel the festive atmosphere outside, and of course, it is also good to enhance the relationship between the three of them in the shopping.
In one afternoon, Ivanka, as the leader, bought a lot of things, but among these things, she didn't have anything of her own except a scarf, and she bought a lot of clothes and even supplies for Lai Xiaohu and Donald.
When it was almost evening, Lai Xiaohu and the three of them left this bustling commercial street with four or five bags in their hands, and after returning home, the three of them made a simple meal and then went out again.
Tonight at the Staples Center, one of the NBA's most famous courts, there will be a high-profile battle between the Lakers, the king of Los Angeles, and the Cavaliers, one of the emerging forces.
Whether the hot Black Mamba Kobe Bryant is the first person in the NBA today, or the league's much-praised little emperor James is the first person in the league, the two will usher in a direct showdown in this high-profile court tonight.
Every year, the Christmas game is a carnival for the NBA. It was also an important tournament that the league did its best to expand the NBA's influence and earn a lot of money for the NBA. As the big number of advertisements say, today's game is a lot to see.
The Lakers, who continue to sit at home, have already won their fifth straight game with a 111-108 victory over the Youth Army Thunder in the last game. In the last game, Kobe Bryant played extremely well, and the ultra-high score of 40 points showed that Kobe's fiery form continued.
Similarly, the Cavaliers who came to play the gym are not good at it, and the Cavaliers led by the little emperor James are currently in a strong state, and the stable score of the little emperor in an average of 20 games per game is also a big guarantee for the victory of the knights.
A peak duel between the older generation and the new forces will be the biggest attraction of this game, and in addition to this one, the old shark once again returned to the place where he once fought on this special day, facing his former teammates and current enemies, which is also a major attraction of the alliance's efforts.
Although the shark is old, it is a figure who was once at its peak. Even though he is old, he still has a huge appeal among a large number of fans. And after being traded to the Knight, the role of the shark is also extremely obvious. At present, the Knights are in hot form, and the Sharks can be said to have contributed a lot.
And although Lai Xiaohu and Ivanka are not loyal fans, and Lai Xiaohu has not watched many NBA games, but in the city of Los Angeles, the focus of attention tonight is this big game. In the middle of Los Angeles. Naturally, the three of them saw this game as a good way to relax and have fun.
The three of them came to the stadium early, and Donald got the tickets for tonight through his personal connections. Originally, Donald could have asked for a ticket to the most exclusive private room. However, in order to experience the NBA game up close, Lai Xiaohu also asked Donald to ask for a ticket to sit with the rest of the audience. This time I came in to watch the game, and it was the first time Lai Xiaohu had ever entered the NBA court.
But even so, Donald's ticket is still the front row of seats facing the sideline. The three of them came to their places according to the seat number on the ticket. At this time, it was an hour before the start of the game, but there were already a lot of fans in the stadium, and Lai Xiaohu took a general look. Almost two-thirds of the fans have already made it in. And the various activities before the game continue to raise the hot atmosphere of the scene.
As the start time of the game slowly approached, the players on both sides of the game also slowly walked into the stadium for a variety of warm-up activities, and seeing the appearance of these superstars on the field, a large number of fanatical fans were excited and kept shouting. Lai Xiaohu, who didn't chase stars, was infected by this atmosphere. Inevitably, I became a little excited.
After a while, accompanied by the heroic voice of the commentator, one player slowly walked onto the court, and the appearance of each star was accompanied by a huge scream, of course, when the locals appeared, there were huge boos and abuse, the verbal violence on the field will never disappear, and even many people think that without these court violence, the sport will also lack passion. Just like the elegant game of golf, you will never see violence on the golf course, but the same golf will never affect everyone in society like basketball and football.
With a whistle, the game officially began, and the three of Lai Xiaohu began to withdraw their attention and stare intently at the game on the field.
It was the first time for Lai Xiaohu to watch the game at such a close distance, and he really found that it was much different than watching it in front of the TV, and this kind of frenzied atmosphere was something he would never feel in front of the TV. And now he is only two or three meters away from those running on the court for help, and sometimes Lai Xiaohu thinks that he is fighting side by side with the players on it.
"It's a great feeling." In the sound of a large number of fans constantly carnivaling, Lai Xiaohu said excitedly to Ivanka next to him.
"Well, did you like the sport too?" Ivanka followed, and the fans kept shouting.
"It feels great, I think I'm going to love it." casually slapped a basketball in his hand, Lai Xiaohu said with a smile.
And at this very time. There was a sudden accident, and I saw that the camera that had been broadcasting the movement on the court suddenly turned, as if the camera turned to Ivanka and Lai Xiaohu.
"Oh haha, let's see, who's here?" The narrator's voice immediately came, "Isn't this our superstar Ivanka?" Let me see who the two men next to her are? ”
"Oh, I know the old one," the other commentator immediately continued, "and this is our great celebrity, our real estate tycoon, Mr. Donald." Ivanka's father. ”
"As for this young man, I can't think of a surprise that it should be the Chinese gentleman who has had many scandals with Miss Ivanka, let me see the intimate actions of our Ivanka and this Chinese man, is our super sweetheart really going to be brought to China? I think I'm going to miss her. ”
With the continuous ridiculous commentary of the three commentators, the audience on the field suddenly shifted their attention from the court to Lai Xiaohu on the sidelines.
And the people who saw it on the side were looking at themselves. Lai Xiaohu sensed that something was wrong and looked around. Just in front of a huge screen on the left. Isn't one of the three people who appears on it himself? And aren't the other two people none other than Ivanka and Donald?
"What's going on? How did I appear on the screen? Lai Xiaohu turned his head again and saw the camera not far away, only after realizing that he had been filmed.
At this time, under the gaze of so many people in the audience, Lai Xiaohu couldn't make any drastic moves, so in the laughter of the audience, Lai Xiaohu could only hug Ivanka very embarrassed to signal to everyone. This is my wife.
"Oh oh, it looks like our worst fears are about to happen, you see our sweetheart doesn't refuse at all, and I seem to see the taste of happiness on her face. It looks like our sweethearts have really fallen. ”
An episode outside the game made tens of thousands of viewers laugh, and at the same time, Lai Xiaohu showed his face in front of everyone. Of course, along with the signals in these stadiums, not only was it transmitted to China, but countless Chinese fans who were watching the game in front of the TV at this time also saw Lai Xiaohu and Ivanka who were ridiculed by the three on-site commentators for the first time.
"Who is this man? I was able to go to the scene to watch the game, and it was still the first row, so I was really envious. "It's a pure fan's heart.
"Hey, let's take a look at the one who appeared just now sitting in the front row with a big ocean girl in his arms, is it us Chinese?" Suddenly, someone asked in the post bar.
"It looks like this person looks like a Chinese, and if he can't get it, he is a local overseas Chinese, but anyway, whether it is our nationality or not, they are all Chinese."
"Yes, it must be Chinese." Someone immediately followed suit.
"I found it, I found it." On the fourth floor, a person directly posted a few photos, all of which were screenshots of the live broadcast just now. This person doesn't know where he found the pictures of the national live broadcast, and the pictures in it are all the same as the national live broadcast. And the subtitles on those screenshots are exactly what the commentators just said about Lai Xiaohu and Ivanka. The person who posted the photo did not forget to translate these into English, which can be described as very professional.
After posting these photos, Lai Xiaohu's Chinese identity was immediately confirmed, which is amazing, and the people who were still hanging out in the post bar immediately flocked to express their envy for Lai Xiaohu.
Soon, everyone's attention shifted from Lai Xiaohu to Ivanka, because someone searched Baidu Encyclopedia and directly pasted the introduction of Ivanka.
After reading these introductions to Ivanka, many people suddenly realized that this is also a big star, and she is also a supermodel, and more importantly, she is the only successor of billions of lengthenings.
While lamenting Ivanka's identity, many people are also full of envy for Lai Xiaohu, if Lai Xiaohu really becomes with this Ivanka. At that time, it was not only a supermodel and a super beauty who would marry a supermodel, but also a billion-dollar family property carried by this beautiful woman. If you marry such a woman, you don't have to struggle for the rest of your life. Not for a lifetime, but for the next life, you don't have to struggle.
Regardless of the outside world, Lai Xiaohu, who was happy to come in to watch the game, did not see the victory scene of his favorite team. Before two days ago, Lai Xiaohu's impression of dozens of NBA players was almost the same, except for those he didn't know, as long as he knew, there was basically no big difference in his impression, and even the Rockets with Chinese superstars. Lai Xiaohu's impression of it is similar to that of other teams, and there is nothing special.
But when he really came to watch the game, he had slowly been assimilated by the city of Los Angeles into a Lakers fan, although he was not yet a loyal fan, but at least Lai Xiaohu hoped that the Lakers could win tonight.
But the current result is the opposite of what Lai Xiaohu thought. The Lakers lost this high-profile game, and the most unacceptable thing is. The Lakers didn't just lose. And he lost very completely, and lost directly by a large score.
More than ninety percent of the people watching the game in this stadium are Lakers fans, and as the Lakers get bigger and worse, the atmosphere on the scene is getting lower and lower, and gradually there is no such fanatical atmosphere, and the enthusiasm of the fans is constantly fading.
Before the opening. The atmosphere in the stadium was very warm, but when the game ended, the atmosphere at the scene was really low and noisy, except for the voices of complaints. Basically, there are no other words, and the person next to me is in no mood to talk.
"Alright, let's go." After the people at the scene were almost gone, Donald also stood up and said to Lai Xiaohu and Ivanka.
"Hey, it's really disappointing, I knew that the Lakers would lose so badly today and didn't come to watch the game, and my good mood is now almost lost in this game." After standing up, Ivanka couldn't help but complain.
"It's okay, it's just a game, there's no need to be so low," Seeing Ivanka's unhappy appearance, Lai Xiaohu could only go up and persuade, "It's not too late now, I'll take you out to play later." ”
After the three of them left, they didn't go back directly but found some fun outside, and when it was eleven o'clock, Lai Xiaohu saw that Ivanka's mood had been reactivated, so he proposed to go back.
That night, Lai Xiaohu and Ivanka slept together, but although Ivanka was lying on the bed, she felt tired, but she couldn't sleep at all, and she tossed and turned on the boat alone, facing this side and that side. One moment the quilt is covered, and the other time the quilt is removed.
"What's wrong? Can't sleep? Seeing Ivanka turning back and forth, Lai Xiaohu asked softly. Originally, Lai Xiaohu was already asleep, but Ivanka turned over several times in the middle of the move, which directly woke up Lai Xiaohu.
"Well, I can't sleep." Hearing Lai Xiaohu's voice, Ivanka turned around directly and got into Lai Xiaohu's arms and said in a humming voice.
"What's wrong?" Lai Xiaohu asked.
"It's not tonight's game yet." Speaking of this, Ivanka couldn't help but complain to Lai Xiaohu. Speaking of Ivanka, who has lived in Los Angeles for many years, has long been a very loyal Lakers fan, and seeing her favorite team lose, Ivanka is naturally greatly affected, but now it has affected to the point of insomnia, which is beyond Lai Xiaohu's expectations. And even Ivanka herself was surprised, because she hadn't encountered such a situation before.
"It's okay," listening to Ivanka's words, Lai Xiaohu hugged the other party, "Although the Lakers lost today, but there are so many games in a year, and there is nothing to lose one or two games." As long as the Lakers' strength is good, sooner or later they will still be a strong contender for the championship. ”
After driving to Ivanka, Lai Xiaohu held Ivanka's back with one hand and gently patted her with the other.
About twenty minutes later, Lai Xiaohu heard that there was no sound on Ivanka's side, and when he looked down, Ivanka had fallen asleep breathing evenly.
Slowly pulling out his arm, after Lai Xiaohu lay upright, he also closed his eyes again and began to sleep.
But after half an hour, Lai Xiaohu directly took off the quilt on his body, and he couldn't sleep. I fell asleep early, but I woke myself up because Ivanka. And after waking up, he coaxed Ivanka to sleep, but insomnia was his turn again.
After lying on the bed and struggling for a while, at about two o'clock, Lai Xiaohu was really sleepy, and he didn't know when he slowly fell asleep.
"You were so bad last night." As soon as he woke up the next morning, Lai Xiaohu said directly to Ivanka.
"What's wrong with me?" Suddenly Lai Xiaohu said this, Ivanka was stunned, and asked Lai Xiaohu inexplicably, did she do anything that shouldn't have been done last night? Ivanka couldn't help but think in her heart.
"What's wrong?" Suddenly, with great grief and indignation, Lai Xiaohu told in detail about the two of them sleeping last night.
"Huh? Hahaha. After listening to this, Ivanka laughed directly, and laughed more and more happily, "You are really, so funny." (To be continued......)
