On April 8, the Lakers flew from Los Angeles to New York, and their next opponent was the second strongest team in the East, the New York Knicks.
This season, the Knicks have been on the red record, and apart from the league's No. 1 defending champion, the Miami Heat, they are worthy of anyone in the East. Of course, if this record is put in the west, it can only rank sixth in the west. This shows the huge difference in combat power between the east and the west. But even so, the Lakers don't dare to take it lightly, because they are currently only 11th in the West and are not in a position to laugh at the New Yorkers, who have already locked up a playoff spot.
Due to the tight schedule and the long flight today, the afternoon training session was very relaxed. D'Antoni still knows that the Lakers are an older team, so getting enough rest is more important than rigorous training. In the evening, Tang Qian received a call from Taylor, asking Tang Qian if he could accompany her to a private event and that she needed a male companion.
Tang Qian really didn't understand why these upper-class social activities must bring a male or female companion, but since he had arrived in New York, it was okay to do a little favor by the way. Recently, he has been busy with the Lakers hitting the top eight, so he has turned down Taylor's "appointment" several times before. As his first friend in the United States, he felt that he was doing something inauthentic. So after a little thought, I agreed.
In the evening, Taylor asked Hannah to drive to pick up Tang Qian, and after about forty minutes of driving, Tang Qian followed Hannah into a private club. At first glance, this place can be entered by people who are either rich or noble, and the bodyguards outside are mighty and majestic, they must be professional bodyguards who have been specially trained, and Tang Qian even suspects that they are people who have retired from the army.
"Hannah, who's having the party tonight?" Tang Qian asked.
Hannah replied, "It's not a party, it's a private concert, it's a private concert by the Williams family, and they've been out of Ralph. Vaughn. Williams, a family of super-composing geniuses, enjoys a high international status. "The Williams? Ralph. Vaughn. Williams??? What is this??? I've never heard of any of them??? It's normal that Tang Qian hasn't heard of it, because he is not a person in the music industry and music circle, and he is extremely unfamiliar with this family and name. But the people in the circle are familiar with this name. Classical music composer par excellence, Ralph. Vaughn. Williams, there are few people in the European and American music circles who do not respect this person. Because classical music is generally regarded as "noble music", "classic music", "serious music" and "immortal music" by the European and American public, its status is far higher than imagined. Even if he is a superstar in Europe and the United States, he often has to listen to classical music to recharge and improve his musical literacy, which can be seen.
Although Ralph. Vaughn. Williams's musical aura is no less than Chopin, Liszt, Mendelssohn, and even worse than Haydn, Schumann, and Wagner, but he is still one of the closest classical music masters to the present day. So their family's status in European and American circles is still quite good. Holding a private banquet, countless European and American music brands will respond, pushing off the work at hand and rushing to the news.
"Oh, it looks like the Williams family is quite famous here." Tang Qian said casually.
"It's not just famous." Hannah said while leading the way: "They are very famous in the music circle, and many exclusive classical compositions are in their hands, and they have not yet leaked out." "Classical music is about composing, which is a bit similar to the ancient Chinese meaning of "Guangling San", which is completely different from the current recording studio samples. Therefore, the "drafts" created by many masters at random back then are also extremely precious "objects" now. At least for insiders.
"That's right." Tang Qian still didn't quite understand, but listening to Hannah's tone, he suddenly "didn't know what to do".
Pushing open the door, there were already a lot of people inside, and they looked like some characters with heads and faces.
In Europe and the United States, as long as it is a person with a bit of status, they like to listen to classical music. "Force", whether you can understand or not is not the key, the main thing is that this is a habit that has been passed down for hundreds of years, people do this, and if you don't do it, it will seem that the "force" is too low. However, in this group of people tonight, there are still many knowledgeable people, and there are several faces that Tang Qian knows.
"Don, you're finally here? Well, I'm dressed up well, and it seems that I have a good eye for choosing clothes. "Taylor is also wearing an evening dress tonight, lilac, with the whole back exposed, looking noble and sexy. Of course, this kind of clothing can be worn on this occasion, and it is troublesome and inconvenient to wear it out on a regular basis. Tang Qian smiled bitterly: "Every time you ask me, you bring me a suit, it's too wasteful, I don't think the material is cheap." β
"It won't cost a lot of money anyway." Taylor said very domineeringly: "At the dance party later, you behave well, don't embarrass me." β
Dance? Ball? How is it a prom again??? Why do you Westerners dance at every turn???
Thinking of the embarrassing experience at Sophia's graduation ball last time, Tang Qian was a little bitter.
Because of his dancing skills, it's really bad enough!
used to laugh at the clumsiness, clumsy and clumsy of the male protagonists on TV, stepping on the instep of their female companions at every turn, after the last personal experience, Tang Qian really wanted to shout "TV series don't deceive me". Don't think that dancing is a very simple thing, if you have never practiced it, it is just ugly to dance, and you are afraid that you will be embarrassed if you are tired of your female partner. Europeans and Americans have had a lot of opportunities to dance since they were young, all kinds of dances and all kinds of parties, from childhood to adulthood, practice makes perfect. It's like Tang Qian, this has never been popular in China, so last time was the first time he really danced.
"That, Taylor, can I, can I not dance, my dancing skills are terrible......" Before Tang Qian finished speaking, Taylor said casually: "How bad can it be?" Just a little bit of it, you follow me, and I'll take the lead in the pace and rhythm. β
"But I don't ...... at all" Before Tang Qian finished speaking, the lights in the hall dimmed, and then someone walked up to the stage and began to speak. Listening to the people around him, he should be the great classical musician Ralph. Vaughn. Williams's grandson. Then a grand classical tune begins to play. I have to say that although it is the first time for Tang Qian to listen to such "high-end" music, compared with the pop music he has heard before, classical music is completely different in terms of effect and performance.
If pop music is mostly about one person playing a track, then classical music is a group of people playing a track. And the length of time is also much longer than pop music. But to be honest, if Tang Qian, like Taylor next to him, listened to it like fascinated and dizzy, then he really didn't have this realm and level. As someone who doesn't listen to a lot of pop music, it's really hard for him to ask him to understand classical music. For example, if you have just become literate, even if you know a lot of words, watching Dream of Red Mansions and Les MisΓ©rables will never be more interesting than reading stories. And classical music is like calculus in mathematics, Tang Qian is just at the level of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so if he wants to enjoy the classical music on the stage wholeheartedly, he can't do it for the time being.
It's not to belittle pop music, but in terms of the rigor and complexity of the performance, it's not on the same level as classical music. Anyway, Tang Qian sounded a little confused, and he couldn't feel Taylor's emotions at all.
As soon as the song ended, Tang Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt that it was not easy to be a person in high society.
"Don, what do you think of this tune? Isn't it particularly beautiful and shocking? Taylor said with a look of unfinished business. Tang Qian paused and said, "Well, Taylor, I feel okay, it's just a bit long, is classical music so long?" β
"Long? It's short, okay! Taylor raised his mouth angrily and said, "Oh, forget it, you athletes lack artistic cells!" It seems that I will take you to listen to it more often in the future, so as to improve your art appreciation level and appreciation! β
"Ah, I don't think there's a need for it, I'm not into music, why do you want such a high level of art appreciation and art appreciation?"
"Don! Why are you so unmotivated! People should keep improving! If you only know about the improvement in your skills, don't you know how to improve in other aspects? Taylor seemed a little angry when he heard this, and said to Tang Qian. Tang Qian saw the former's posture, and immediately "raised his hand to surrender" and said: "Okay, okay, I know, then listen to you, anyway, I think it's good, it's better than I imagined." β
"What? Don, you're so mad at me! Taylor's reaction is entirely because she wants Tang Qian to get closer to her, and cultivating a common interest and hobby is undoubtedly the biggest catalyst. Besides, she can't tolerate her "Death Knight" who doesn't know anything about classical music! That's why I took Tang Qian to listen to it and let the latter feel the charm of classical music.
"Well, didn't I promise you everything? Why be angry? Tang Qian was a little baffled, because he didn't understand where Taylor's anger was. At this time, the lights of the scene came back on, and the master of ceremonies also stood up and said loudly: "Mr. Williams said that the dance party has begun, and everyone can enter the dance floor." β
As soon as Taylor heard this, he came to his senses and stretched out his hand and said, "Don, pull me up." β
"Is this social etiquette tonight?" Tang Qian looked around.
"No, it's just that the high heels I'm wearing tonight are too high, and it's hard to stand up on my own when I sit down!" Taylor's face flushed slightly, and he told the truth. No way, her height is already very high, but with Tang Qian, who is more than 7 feet tall, it is still too petite. So in order not to be too "pocket-sized", her high heels tonight are at least over 15CM. Even if there is a waterproof platform, such a height is still too high, and it is indeed a little difficult to get up by yourself.
Tang Qian Huo Ran understood, and mentioned Taylor as soon as he could, and then said, "Where are we going?" Over there? β
As soon as Taylor saw it, he shook his head and said, "So remote? We're not criminals! Go over there! β
Tang Qian glanced up, and secretly said bitterly in his heart: Isn't that the middle over there? This Taylor is really, I said that I don't know how to dance anymore, isn't it a shame to run over, alas!
He is an Oriental, of course, he doesn't know the psychology of Taylor, a typical American successful woman, who is confident, flamboyant, and subconsciously asks herself to be the focus of attention wherever she goes. Of course, this is also a work disease of big stars, which has been ingrained for so many years.
In front of so many people, Tang Qian couldn't say no, so he could only walk into the middle of the dance floor with Taylor.
This is completely different from being focused on the basketball court, and that sense of strangeness and embarrassment made Tang Qian inexplicably nervous. And at this time, a Rulan's voice came from his ear: "Why are you standing stupidly?" Don, put your arms around me, otherwise how would you dance? "Oh, good." Tang Qian was originally unfamiliar with dancing, and in a hurry, he hugged his backhand, and he actually ...... There was a problem with the "crosshairs".
Suddenly, Taylor. Swift's pretty face turned red, but with so many people, she couldn't admonish loudly, so she could only lower her voice and say: "Don, Don, put your hand up, you, you ......" "What's wrong with me?" Tang Qian didn't come back to his senses in the "dancing syndrome", so he asked blankly.
This dumb guy didn't mean it, did it!!
Taylor saw that Tang Qian didn't know why, his face turned even redder, and he whispered a little ashamedly: "You pinched my ass!" β
"Ass?" Tang Qian was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly woke up, and his cranial nerves felt that it was indeed not the waist that was being hugged by the five fingers of his right hand, but ...... Buttocks. And because of the slight nervousness, Tang subconsciously had some force in his hands, so the fingers of his right hand were bent and deeply sunk into the delicate right butt flap under him.
I'll go...... It's a big deal!
Tang Qian shouted in his heart that something was wrong.
