It's not the first time Wayne and the Pacers have played on the road in Los Angeles, having played at the Staples Center when they played against the "Los Angeles Second Team" Clippers.

Although they are all Los Angeles teams, the home stadium is Staples.

But the influence of the Lakers and Clippers at this stage is completely incomparable.

The Lakers are probably one of the few teams in the league that has no shortage of attention and attendance, even in a season with a poor record.

For example, this year, Phil. The withdrawal of Jackson, O'Neal and others overshadowed the Lakers in an instant.

This team has really become Kobe Bryant's one-man team, and the team's five starters are different from last season except for Kobe.

Not to mention the players, even the coaches have changed a few.

Phil. Jackson left, and the Lakers originally brought in Rudy. Don't underestimate the heart of someone who has tasted their own brains. Tomjanovich.

As a result, Tang Shuai hastily made soy sauce and left because he was unwell.

So now, the head coach has been replaced by Phil. Jackson's confidant assistant coach Frank. Humberland.

Hamberland has been working with Zen masters since the time of the Bull, but he is not a master of tactics, and he does not specialize in any aspect of tactics.

More often than not, he just does some data statistics, analysis and comparison of opponent data.

Well...... Therefore, the Lakers directly used him as the head coach, and they basically decided to give up this season.

In fact, at the beginning of the season, the Lakers' record was still okay. But the injuries of Kobe Bryant and Odom have completely sunk the Lakers, and now they can't catch up.

It is the current situation of the Los Angeles Lakers, who have no record or record, and only have a star who has just been a chicken feather, and there is no coach if they want a coach.

But...... There is no shortage of people to watch!

Perhaps, this is the legendary big team, the big stage.

Look at how many people still pay attention to Fischer after he went to the Warriors? See how much more attention Peyton can attract when he gets to the Pacers?

This is Los Angeles, where you'll never be short of attention.

So when Wayne got off the plane, he was jumped by the crowd of reporters on the scene.

This Nima, are we here to play the Finals with the Lakers?

It's just an ordinary regular season, it's such a big battle!

"Way, what do you think of the rumors that Kobe Bryant and Tomjanovic have a conflict, do you think Tomjanovic really resigned because he was unwell?"

"If it were you, would you be willing to work with a player like Kobe? He's pretty much the least liked player in the league right now. ”

"Ray. Allen has publicly stated that Kobe Bryant is a selfish ghost before, and Kobe Bryant also responded that don't compare that guy and me on the same level, what do you think of the contradiction between the two? ”

"Did Shaq tell you anything? For example, you must kill Kobe Bryant. ”

The problems of journalists are completely different from those of journalists in other cities.

It's all not serious, and it doesn't have much to do with the game, but it's really a gimmick problem.

Los Angeles, Entertain to Death!

Wayne didn't answer any questions and walked away quickly.

Can this be answered? I really don't know how to answer the point.

Thunder. Allen complained about Kobe, you ask me what I think...... It's like I'm familiar with them.

I'm not familiar with the 96 generation, but I'm still on a better relationship with the Banana Boat brothers.

Janway Gua Cannon: What a hammer!

finally squeezed into the team bus, Wayne couldn't help but sigh.

Kobe Bryant in his previous life was respected and admired. When that damn accident happened, the whole world felt sorry for him.

Wayne is no exception.

But now Kobe Bryant seems to be a public enemy of the whole people. Even in Los Angeles, at least half of the fans disliked him, believing that he had forced Shaq and the Zen master away.

This period can be said to be a period when Kobe's career and life are at a low point.

It's hard to associate the current Kobe with the near-perfect Kobe in people's hearts in 2020.

However, this may be the best interpretation of life.

Troughs and peaks, errors and correctness, lies and truths, youth and maturity......

Wayne didn't want to dwell too much on these things that had nothing to do with the Pacers, winning the game and going home, which was Wayne's only purpose in coming to Los Angeles.

Oh, and there's also a "side quest" that doesn't know what Sharapova will call herself to help with.

After arriving at the hotel, the players took a casual break and went to Staples to acclimatize to the field.

Because there's a Los Angeles Kings hockey game at the Staples Center tonight, the arena will be transformed from a basketball court into an ice hockey rink in two hours.

As a result, the players have very limited time to acclimatise to the field.

Peyton returned to Staples again, his mouth was no longer crooked, he didn't say any more sassy words, and his whole person seemed to have become a lot more gloomy.

After all, this place carries too high expectations for him. And as we all know, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

He may have thought that he could make a name for himself in this giant team and retire with honor.

As a result, what awaits him is one of the biggest farces in the history of the Lakers.

"That's right, Way." Peyton, who was in a daze, seemed to suddenly remember something, so he walked over to Wayne.

"What's wrong, Gary?"

"When you play tomorrow, don't trash talk to Kobe Bryant. For most people, trash-spewing helps. But for Kobe, it will only be counterproductive.

The Lakers are not a strong team, so let's just take the win steadily, OK? ”

"Hmm...... I'll try my best. Wayne can only say as much as he can, because sometimes when this damn language talent comes out, Wayne really can't control it.

And Kobe Bryant is also a broken mouth on the court, what he says is not necessarily trash talk, it may be something like "I want to go in, I want to enter", "you want iron, you want iron" and the like.

But it's annoying to buzz in my ears all the time.

Wayne was afraid that he couldn't help it, and his mouth would squirt.

Wait a minute? Big troll Peyton actually warned me not to squirt Kobe?

What did you go through last season?

Forget it, let's control it a little.

As Payton said, the Lakers are not a strong team, just take the victory steadily, and there is no need to make extraneous branches.

If you get an 81-minute night in advance, it won't end well.

But on second thought, Gangtai can make Kobe Bryant score 81 points?

In this regard, Wayne still has confidence in Taizi.

Although he is a little irritable, a little tendoned, a little stupid, a little stupid...... Uh, but he's still a good defender!

"Way, let's go to Beverly Hills tonight." Saying that Atai had arrived, at this time, Atai walked happily towards Wayne with his slightly hoarse voice.

"I had a rapper friend who said he could let me go to his studio and record a song. Haha, this is a rare opportunity, let me introduce you to some rap circles! ”

Atay was full of anticipation, as if he wanted Wayne to go with him.

"Hmm...... I'm sorry Ron, I have an appointment tonight. ”

Atai: !!

"Where?"

"To Sharapova ......"

"Sure enough, it's this woman!" Before Wayne could finish speaking, Atai interrupted him, "Forget it, you go, it's okay for me to be alone, Way." Really, don't reject her for my sake.

I know you'd love to join me, but it's rare to ask you out once. ”

"Oh, I wasn't going to turn her down. Have a great night tonight, Ron. ”

Atai glanced at Wayne with disdain, and blamed himself for taking Wayne to a tennis match.

"Hey, my current teammates...... Fade, fade. At the end of the day, I had to go and ask Lamar of the Lakers. Odom. Atai shook his head and walked away.

Wayne really wanted to call the Martial Saint to come over and help him fly his legs and explode Atai's head.

Why are there so many plays in one day!?

If it weren't for the fact that you would be useful in defending Kobe Bryant tomorrow, I would have elbowed you a long time ago!

It was in this atmosphere that was both serious and serious that the Pacers ended their field acclimatization training.

When everyone was ready to leave, a guy wearing headphones came out of the player tunnel on the other side.

He stepped onto the court and looked up at the Pacers players, but didn't say hello.

Well, even with his former teammate Payton, he didn't say a word and started shooting on his own.

Payton didn't bother him either, something he was used to last season.

"Let's go, Wei, have a good rest, let's continue to win tomorrow night."

Peyton said, patting Wayne on the back before leaving.

Wayne stared at the man, a little distracted.

He's really back.

Bryant. Bryant, AKA Gaobi. Bayern.

Wayne didn't expect that his first encounter with him would be in this situation.

At this time, Wayne really wanted to walk up and said to Kobe affectionately...... "You can't spray!" Come, let me see, come, it's not very special! ”

Of course, Wayne didn't really say that.

It's already troublesome to have the hatred of the class of '03, and Wayne doesn't want to provoke another guy who can hold grudges.

When Wayne turned to leave, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wayne's tall back.

"I just pretended to be so calm, I should have bluffed him! Mom, I'm lucky to be gone, and I almost didn't hold on.

Well, now, I've already psychologically scared my opponent! Tomorrow's game will be at least half as easy.

Wait for Shaq, and let the world see it right away. You can't beat the guy, how vulnerable you are in front of me! ”

Bryant clenched his fists and couldn't wait for the battle.

※※※

When Wayne arrived at Sharapova's residence, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Gada, Los Santo, is indeed more fragrant than a large cornfield!" ”

There are rows of luxury bungalows, handsome men and beautiful women frolicking in the pool.

There were cars parked at the door that Wayne couldn't even name, and there were even reporters squatting everywhere......

Wayne is really scared of meeting a good five-star citizen named Franklin walking a dog named Cha.

Los Angeles is just the tip of the iceberg and has dazzled Wayne.

In the Big Cornfield, people can only run laps around the racing track, or play the unpretentious sport of wrestling in the cornfield.

But in Los Angeles...... It can't be compared.

After ringing the doorbell at Sharapova's villa, Wayne heard a rush of footsteps, as if the owner couldn't wait to answer the door.

Soon, the doors of the villa were opened.

"Wayne, you're here~"

Behind the door, Sharapova was barefoot, wearing only a simple white tank top and sports shorts, and the youthful air of the 17-year-old was about to come out.

"Hello, I brought you a bottle of red wine, I hope you like it." Wayne handed over the gift he brought.

"Thanks, come in." Sava took the wine with one hand, took Wayne with the other, and pulled him through the door.

"So, is there anything I can do to help?"

"Let's have dinner first, talk as we eat. Come on, I've been preparing for an afternoon. ”

Following Sharapova into the living room, Wayne found dinner already on the table.

The little atmosphere was nice and wanted to stay with Tony last summer...... Hey, that's the gap.

"Tomorrow's game, I'll go and see it. Now, fried beef for you. Don't worry, I didn't do anything in the food, you don't have to worry about a high fever tomorrow. ”

"I didn't expect you to know a lot about football, you know this stalk."

"Of course, since I met you, I've started to love basketball like crazy too!"

After the two had dinner, Wayne looked around Sava's mansion.

Well, it's pretty clean, and it's not enough to clean.

And Sava is almost 1.9 meters, so you don't have to trouble me with things like changing the light bulb.

Fix a computer? With her character, she should be directly replaced with a new one.

That's really fine, you liar!

Tell me to come to dinner, just say it.

This little girl really is.

"Have you eaten enough? Let's go to the second floor, there's one thing...... Hope you can help me. ”

"Go to the second floor, help you?" Wayne people are stupid, sister, I still have to play a game tomorrow, you actually want me to play games with you all night?

When he went up to the second floor, Wayne realized that this was not a bedroom, but a large balcony.

There is a swimming pool inside, and the ground is laid with artificial grass.

The most annoying thing is that instead of the deck chairs, Sava put two oversized sofas that look like beds next to the pool.

The little girl has a lot of ideas about this design.

"You wait here for me, I'll go get something."

With that, Sharapova hopped into a room, then quickly walked out with her hands behind her back and sat down next to Wayne.

"How about this sofa? I don't like recliners, sofas, you don't have to sit far away after playing, you can nest together! It's just that...... No one has come to play with me yet, and you're the first! ”

Want to hang out with friends...... How many friends you have.

"It's soft, it's comfortable, it's great." Wayne's linguistic talent is a little stretched when it comes to evaluating the couch.

"Hey, ...... Wayne" Sharapova slowly approached Wayne, so close that Wayne could already smell the shampoo.

"Here's for you." Finally, at a distance where she could not get any closer, the hand that Sava had been holding behind her back came to Wayne's eyes.

"A pen?" Wayne took the pen that Sava was holding in both hands, and his mind was completely frozen.

"In half a month, I'm going to the Open in Indian Wells. In the previous rounds of the Open Championship, the results were not ideal. So, I thought of you.

The last time you came to the U.S. Open, you threw me a lucky tennis ball, and I went on a big show. So, this time, please write a name on the grip of my tennis racket! Or write a message or something.

Well, in this way, you will be able to keep your luck in your hands all the time. ”

Looking at Sharapova's expectant expression, Wayne shouted, "That's it? ”

"Hmm!" Sava nodded vigorously.

Wayne smiled, sure enough, no matter how mature her body was, she was still a 17-year-old girl at heart.

So, Wayne wrote some words of cheering on the white grips of five tennis rackets.

"So, good luck with the race."

"I'll be as brave as you are, Wei!"

Two exotic athletes who have made their mark in the United States are getting closer and closer on their way to fame.
