Chapter 092: The Last Stop
Tips:
Bruce sat not far from Yang Fan, and he shouted at Yang Fan: "Boss, should we bet on today's win or loss?" ”
"Okay, I'll bet the Warriors will win!" Yang Fan also said loudly.
"What? Boss, don't you like James? And last year, the Cavaliers lost to the Warriors in the Finals, and today they will definitely get revenge, how can you bet on the Warriors to win? Bruce looked puzzled.
"I like James, but in terms of winning or losing, I still believe in quality. Isn't there a famous saying in the NBA, 'Never underestimate the heart of a championship.'" The Cavaliers haven't won a championship, so I'm betting on the Warriors to win. Yang Fan explained.
Bruce held out a finger and said, "Well, I'll bet on the knight to win!" $10,000! ”
"Okay, that's it!" Yang Fan made an "ok" gesture.
As the game entered the fourth quarter, Bruce seemed to be more anxious than the players on the court, he kept cheering for the Cavaliers' players, and from time to time he commented on their style of play and tactics.
But in the end, the Cavaliers still lost to the Warriors.
As the price of the loss, Bruce paid for all of the expenses at Oracle Stadium for everyone in Group B.
Everyone began to shop for their favorite jerseys, hats, clothes, shoes and fan merchandise in the fan shop, and Bruce spent a whopping $13,000.
After boarding the plane again, Irina put a hat on her head that must be exclusive to the Christmas War, showed off to everyone, looked at Bruce, and said excitedly: "Hey, Bruce, who are you betting on to win the next game?" ”
"Next game, I'...... I bet the Lakers to win! This is Kobe's last Christmas game, I believe Kobe, I believe that he will be able to lead the Lakers to defeat the Clippers at home, definitely! Bruce said with his fists clenched.
Irina looked at Yang Fan again and asked, "Hey, Yang Fan." Bruce bets, do you still bet? ”
"Okay, then I'll bet on the Clippers to win. Again, I also like Kobe, winning or losing still depends on strength.
Although this game is the home court of the Lakers, the two teams share the same court, and judging from the strength of the two teams, I believe that the Clippers will also do their best! I'm still more bullish on the Clippers! Yang Fan said.
"Well, why don't we double the stakes?" Irina looked at Bruce with bad intentions.
Bruce was stunned for a moment, then waved his fist and said, "Okay, that's it!" It's just the right time to win back the money you just lost! ”
Kobe Bryant is Yang Fan's favorite star besides Jordan. He has always felt that as a professional basketball player, there is still a gap between Kobe and Jordan, but as a man, Kobe is the person Yang Fan admires the most.
Yang Fan has always felt that the brightest moment of a man is when everyone cheers. It was Bryant's experience that changed his perception.
Kobe's spirit of never admitting defeat and fighting spirit made him feel that the most glorious thing for a man is not to let everyone applaud you, but to silence those who question you.
One of his favorite moves for Kobe Bryant was not to pull his jersey and shout after hitting a killer shot, but to score a difficult goal amid the boos of the audience, and then make a silent gesture to the fans in the stadium with an unstoppable expression. At that moment, the Black Mamba was God!
Yang Fan feels that this is the real charm of competitive sports, and he gives men an opportunity and platform to vent their desire to fight normally. Compared to the deceitful and hypocritical environment in the workplace, the arena is much more real.
This is one of the reasons why Yang Fan likes military and special forces, who, like sports athletes, rely on strength to earn respect. Rather than those sleek, sleek and sophisticated behaviors.
The Stamps Stadium was also crowded, and the shouts of the fans almost overturned the entire stadium, and Bryant was undoubtedly the only protagonist today. A lot of celebrities, even Clippers players, came to see the legendary superstar's Christmas game curtain call.
From the second half, Yang Fan watched the rest of the game almost standing, shouting "VP" with the audience, and he was very fortunate to have the opportunity to witness the end of such a legendary superstar.
Everyone in Group B was also infected by the atmosphere, and the only one who was a little lonely was Bruce, not only because his favorite star will retire next year, but also because he was with another $20,000 this time.
Evan arranged a special opportunity for Bruce to take a photo with his idol, and Bruce excitedly returned to the Stamp Center with his phone.
When he came back and saw the $25,000 bills that everyone had spent at the Stamps Fan Center, he was still a little distressed.
Bruce happily settled the bill, and for him, the photo was worth far more than the $25,000.
Everyone stayed in Los Angeles for the night, and although there were a lot of Christmas events in Los Angeles, the people in Group B cherished the time they spent together, and everyone found a bar in Los Angeles and drank until the early hours of the morning.
At eleven a.m. the next day, Group B's plane finally landed at the last destination of their Christmas trip, San Diego.
Yang Fan was visiting Kevin's house for the second time. A year ago, he and Sokolov had been here, but last time Kevin's father was not at home, this time Kevin's family of three greeted Yang Fan and others at the door.
Chapter 092: The Last Stop (
Tips:
Kevin's father is a polite person, his face is very similar to Kevin's, but he wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a light beard, and the lines on his face are very hard, but there is kindness between his eyebrows.
He wore a brown leather jacket, dark jeans and a pair of brown leather shoes today, which was very American western cowboy temperament.
When Kevin's mother saw Yang Fan, she immediately walked up and hugged Yang Fan, saying, "Yang Fan, welcome to my house again!" ”
"Excuse me, Auntie." Yang Fan said with a smile.
"Don't bother, don't bother, Auntie welcomes you to come to my house at any time." Kevin's mom looked at the others again, smiled and said, "Hello everyone, welcome, my name is Lisa, and I'm Kevin's mom." ”
He pointed to Kevin's father and said, "This is my husband Nathan." ”
Nathan walked up to everyone and opened his arms and said very enthusiastically, "Hello, welcome to my house!" Come in, lunch is ready! ”
Kevin also said, "Yes, please come in!" My mom has been preparing all morning, just waiting for you to come! ”
Yang Fan and the others came to the living room of Kevin's house, the dining table in the center of the living room was already full of food, and in the middle of the table was a roast suckling pig that had been intact, and there was an apple in the pig's mouth.
Other dishes include a tiny roast turkey, steak, fish, salad, yellow rings of fresh orange slices, roses, walnuts, cinnamon and brightly coloured fruits. And the cutlery and wine glasses have been arranged, and the wine glasses are full of red wine.
Kevin beckoned everyone to sit down, and then said, "This roast suckling pig was specially prepared for you by my father, in fact, I told him that you don't eat much pork, but he said that it can set off the anger of the holiday." ”
"Thank you, uncle."
Yang Fan stood up and introduced the people in Group B to Kevin's parents, and then everyone happily enjoyed a hearty lunch at Kevin's house.
After lunch, Kevin's father said, "I know you young people have a lot to talk about, and Lisa and I won't bother you." However, you have to promise your uncle not to leave in a hurry, and your uncle also wants to talk more to you young people. ”
"Alright, don't bother them, let's go." Lisa pulled Nathan up to the second floor.
Bruce reclined on the couch and said, "Kevin, you really have a happy family. If my parents were as open-minded as my aunts and uncles, then I would have loved to spend Christmas in the UK. ”
Bruce suddenly sat up, looked treacherous, and asked, "Kevin, I heard that you have a girlfriend who is a lawyer, why didn't she spend Christmas with you?" ”
"Oh, the family was here yesterday, and today she went on vacation with his parents to Los Angeles!" Kevin said.
"Hey, what a pity!" Bruce sighed.
Parker said beside him: "Bruce, the rule of our mercenaries is to try not to see the family of your teammates, why don't you understand the rules?" ”
Bruce waved his hand and said with a disdainful expression: "Cut, we are not the regular kind of mercenaries, what kind of unruly ......"
Evan pointed at Bruce, full of praise, and said, "Bruce is right, we are really not regular mercenaries. We are brothers first, colleagues from T3 second, mercenaries and last! ”
"Hey, alright, alright, alright."
Irina said impatiently: "Everyone knows the relationship between your brothers, so there is no need to talk about it. I'm just wondering, this is the last stop on my Christmas trip, so how do we arrange the next time? ”
Evan spread his hands and said, "Then I don't know, my mission is to get to this day." The rest of the time is free for you to spend, but I advise you not to go too far. We haven't been back to the base for more than half a month, and I wonder if there will be a mission in the near future! ”
"It doesn't matter!" Natalie said: "This period of relaxation is enough, as long as you can be with everyone, even if you go on a mission." Also, I need to go on a mission to make some more money. ”
Anna asked, somewhat surprised, "Natalie, do you need money?" ”
"yes!" Natalie said firmly: "I only have more than $5 million in my account now. Houses in San Francisco are so expensive, maybe this time my money will be gone, and I have to find a way to make a little more money! ”
After listening to this, Irina patted her forehead, leaned back on the sofa, squinted at Natalie, and said helplessly: "A newcomer is a newcomer!" I said Natalie, your IQ is so high, why is your EQ so low!
You saved Evan last time in Israel, do you think John and Evan will let you pay for the house? Also, your boss has almost $500 million in his account, do you think he's going to make you guys worry about money? ”
"But the boss's money belongs to the boss?" Natalie asked in surprise.
Irina sighed and tilted her head to the side, unwilling to waste any more time explaining to Natalie.
