Los Angeles, the City of Angels, the entertainment capital of the world.

Naturally, Henson doesn't need to say much about the city's prosperity, even Indianapolis, the nation's fourth-largest state capital, and Los Angeles.

On the streets of Los Angeles, the head coach of an NBA team simply doesn't attract much attention. Because there are so many stars living in Los Angeles, especially during the summer months.

Henson and Angelie had fun all the way to the famous Manhattan Beach.

Countless handsome women as well as expensive sports cars and luxurious villas on the coast sit next to the beach, and private yachts go out to sea one after another, loaded with rich people and bikini girls.

Don't think it's a movie, it's the real world. Manhattan Beach is a well-known affluent area of Los Angeles and one of the most expensive waterfronts in the United States.

Compared to Santa Monica Beach, Manhattan Beach blocks a large number of tourists due to its high level of consumption. As a result, it's a bit quieter and more stunning.

It was here that Henson and Angeli were secretly photographed by reporters last year, but now Henson doesn't care if anyone is secretly filming him. After all, to the whole world, Angeli's relationship with him is no longer a secret. The only secret is Anjiali's background.

The two changed into swimsuits and strolled arm in arm along the beach of Manhattan, watching the sun tiny the sky until it all "submerged" to sea level.

"It's so beautiful, it's such a view, no matter how many times you see it, you won't get bored." Angeli's eyes were fixed on the sea level, fascinated.

"Really? Then we will buy a villa here in the future and see this scenery every day. ”

"If only you wanted, Henson. Coach Joe. This time I came to Los Angeles, I'm afraid you didn't take me to travel to Los Angeles. Angeli hung around Henson's neck and pretended to be angry.

"How do you know?"

Henson smiled, no excuse. This girl is far more intelligent than she imagined. He hasn't forgotten how wonderful Anjiali's trick was to throw a party for himself in the first place.

"I heard it on the radio, and Yi Gee was training in Los Angeles at this time." An Jiali's pronunciation when she read Yi Jianlian's name was so funny that Henson couldn't help but want to laugh.

"So what?" Henson put his arm around Angeli's waist.

"You just traded away Josh. McRoberts, so you're definitely going to need a new space-type interior to fill the roster for you. So, you came to Los Angeles. And the one who will have dinner with us later, he is it! ”

"Hmm...... You're so smart, so how can I reward you? Henson said, leaning his head towards Angeli.

Anjiali deliberately pushed Henson away, and then pretended to be angry with her hands around her chest, but this only squeezed the gully more tempting, "If you can put down your work and stay with me for two weeks, I will forgive you." ”

"No, two weeks is too ...... Can't negotiate? ”

Hearing Henson complain, Angeli turned away with a frown, looking as if she was really angry. Is this guy a straight man of steel!? Where do you have to bargain with your girlfriend!? It's not a trade player!

Seeing Angeli's expression, Henson smiled instead, "I mean, two weeks is too short, and I promise to stay with you during this time until you get bored." ”

It only took a second for Anjiali to go from being angry to being happy. Her emotions are completely controlled by Henson.

Angeli hugged Henson tightly, and couldn't help but be a little worried. He's so sultry that an ordinary little girl can't resist the temptation of Henson's words. In the future, you have to pay more attention......

So, after lying on the beach in swimsuits to watch the sunset, Angelie and Henson changed into formal clothes again.

Although tonight is only a private dinner, as a manager, the first time you meet the players, you should establish a formal and majestic image.

When Yi Jianlian appeared at the gate of Santa Monica's seafood restaurant, he still felt a little unnatural.

After all, Yi Jianlian didn't know much about communicating with Americans, and he had never seen that guy before. He was worried that he might be embarrassed later.

"Sir, do you have an appointment?" The waiter stepped forward enthusiastically and asked, his tone very calm.

Santa Monica Seafood is one of the most famous and luxurious restaurants in Los Angeles, and there are countless celebrities who come to eat here. Kobe, Wade, Tom. Bruce...... These names are familiar all over the world, and they are often frequented here.

And the waiters here have long been accustomed to dealing with all kinds of celebrities. Yi Jianlian's coffee table here is obviously not high enough to make the waiter feel nervous.

Henson...... Henson. Coach Joe, he booked his spot. Yi Jianlian spoke at a loss, and people said that one of the major obstacles to his development in the NBA was the communication problem. Part of Yao's success depends on his ability to integrate quickly into the American community, but this is difficult for most Chinese players, or indeed most international players.

After all, the huge cultural gap cannot be broken in three or two days.

After being taken to the second floor of the restaurant by the waiter, Yi Jianlian inexplicably relaxed a lot. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of Santa Monica Beach at night, and the beautiful views are sure to make for quick relaxation. It was not for nothing that Henson chose this place.

"Henson. That's where Mr. Joe booked. ”

Looking in the direction of the waiter's arm, Yi Jianlian saw a man and a woman who were both familiar and unfamiliar.

The woman wears a long black dress, has an outstanding figure, and is also very beautiful. The man stood up and smiled at himself, his trademark smile.

Dressed in a black suit with a bouquet of red roses in his chest pocket, Henson's look looks a bit like Malone. Brando's outfit in the "Godfather" movie.

The advantage of this costume is that it can psychologically oppress the other party, so that the other party immediately respects him.

"Henson. Coach Joe, it's a great honor to meet you! Yi Jianlian hurriedly went up to shake hands and say hello, others are willing to give face to ask themselves to eat, then the most basic courtesy Yi Jianlian will also give.

"Don't be so inhibited, UAE, just go out to dinner with old friends. By the way, this is my girlfriend, Angeli. Lanadivi. ”

Yi Jianlian was stunned, not because Henson's girlfriend was very young, but because this Chinese coach actually spoke very down-to-earth Chinese to himself!

has been in the United States for a long time, and Yi Jianlian is also very clear. Not all ethnic Chinese speak Chinese because they have been away from home for so long that some have never even lived in China.

And Henson. Qiao's Chinese level made Yi Jianlian feel incredible, because Mandarin came out of his mouth, and there was no sense of disobedience!

With just one sentence, Henson broke the sense of estrangement between him and Yi Jianlian! It solves the problem of communication and estrangement, which is of great help to give full play to the strength of Yi Jianlian!

"Lanadivie?" Yi Jianlian looked at An Jiali in surprise, the young and beautiful woman with a mixed-race beauty.

"That's right, it's that Lanadivie. She's my boss's daughter, and you're going to have to keep it a secret from me. With a small joke, Henson brought Yi Jianlian and himself closer a lot.

Sharing secrets with each other is the best way to get closer!

"I didn't know you could speak Chinese so well." Yi Jianlian smiled lightly and also communicated with Henson in Chinese.

"After all, I grew up in China, and there are things that are ingrained in my head and will never be forgotten. By the way, UAE, I don't like to beat around the bush. Calling you out for dinner today," Henson said, leaning back in his chair, "I'm looking for a spatial No.4 that can help the team go further, and I'm optimistic about you." ”

Henson knew that Yi Jianlian was not good at talking, so making complex conversations as simple as possible was actually more conducive to communication between the two parties.

Yi Jianlian was stunned for a moment, although he knew that the other party was looking for him for this kind of thing, but he didn't expect Henson to say it so directly. Moreover, it was just when the collective bargaining broke down.

"Tall, technically good, projection...... These are all very much in line with my tactical requirements. The only thing you need to improve is your confrontation ability, but don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to go inside and fight other people. I won't put too much pressure on you in this regard. ”

Henson and Yi Jianlian's Chinese conversation An Jiali couldn't understand a word, so she had to laugh the whole time, and then expected the waiter to quickly serve the dish and end the conversation that she couldn't interject.

"However, if the labor negotiations break down again, I may go back to China to play." Yi Jianlian spread his hands, he didn't intend to hide it from Henson.

This is the purpose of Henson's need to meet Yi Jianlian alone, and Yi Jianlian himself will not hide it from Henson. And Yi Jianlian's American manager, Fei Gen...... It's really hard to deal with.

"It's okay, I'm sure Chinese clubs won't take away your right to play in the United States. It's your freedom to play wherever you want until the collective bargaining is over. What I'm concerned about is, will you join my team after the collective bargaining? I've heard that your manager, Fagan, was recently facilitating the signing of Mavericks and Howard. In exchange for overtures, there's a good chance he'll get you to the Mavericks as well. If that's the case, then I hope you can turn him down. After all, I only use players that I think are useful. So it's only in Indianapolis that your playing time is guaranteed. ”

As soon as Henson finished speaking, the waiter served a seafood feast, and Anjiali raised her knife and fork very unladylikely.

Yi Jianlian looked at the steaming food and pondered Henson's words.

Playing time, the word is as tempting to Yi Jianlian as these delicacies.
