Chapter 250: Los Angeles

If New York in July was the focus of the NBA's attention because of the draft, then Los Angeles in August was the basketball capital of the offseason. Since 1979, it has become a summer hub for NBA stars, coaches, scouts and agents.

Magic Johnson was the architect of it all, and after arriving in Los Angeles as the top pick, he used UCLA's arena to train with his familiar teammates or other stars in the summer. As the Magic's statements grew louder and louder, more and more stars came to visit in the summer, and slowly Los Angeles became a hub, and more and more star training camps were held here.

Not only stars, but also free agents, undrafted or undrafted college stars, and overseas players will come to Los Angeles in the free summer to participate in training camps organized by a certain star or club, on the one hand, to improve their shape, and on the other hand, to increase their exposure and strive to get a good contract next season.

That's why it's home to a myriad of scouts and agents who walk around training gyms, university stadiums and city centres, with their eyes or high-definition cameras to watch the players perform on the training ground. At night, bustling Los Angeles offers plenty of entertainment for players, scouts and agents who are either scouting agents chasing promising rookies and free agents, or undrafted players who want to play in a professional league, and overseas players who are looking to visit big-name agents in search of a contract.

The pearl of the West Coast, the famous entertainment capital, exudes a fatal attraction in the summer. Nearly a month after arriving in July, Ms. Khomeenes has been staying at the Ivey Beach Hotel in Santa Monica, but she's not here for a vacation, and since this summer, she's decided to focus her sports venture in Los Angeles.

She's ready to rent an office in the LA.LIVE Development Zone in Los Angeles as her home base for her business, and the process of registering her company is on the agenda to move away from being a personal venture capitalist and becoming a true venture capitalist.

Before meeting Leon, she was just a basketball cheerleader, and her biggest dream was to travel the world, ride elephants and lions at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, and go deep into the unknown primitive tribes to explore the mysteries of human civilization at the dawn of human civilization. After meeting Leon, she slowly went further and further on the road of basketball, until this year she used the investment fund her father gave her to invest in Andy Miller's agency to help Leon realize his plan to get Garnett, and she found that this may also be a good trajectory in life.

It's not a good choice to do the same business as the person she loves, and at the same time have a lot of time to work on the things she used to love and love.

However, although Leon is now well-known in the basketball world, and Khamenez originally started this path to help Leon, it does not mean that everything about Khamenez will revolve around Leon and the Celtics. Because of this, Khomeenez did not focus her work in Boston or New York, but moved to Los Angeles, where there are more opportunities and a bigger market.

Over the course of a month, Ayatollah Khomeenez got to know a number of professional basketball insiders, agents, scouts, and players who were teetering on the fringes of the NBA. She also has her own assistant, a Pals-Mills guy who used to mingle in Hollywood agent circles, and finally couldn't find a way out, so she stumbled to Khomemenes to make a living.

This kid is a native of California, but he didn't go to college, and after graduating from high school, he began to mix in society, and he was still a gay who frequented gay bars. In general, I can't get on the stage, and I want to enter the Hollywood circle, but I can only meet some wild models and eighteenth-tier stars who have the same idea on the periphery.

The reason why Khomemenes asked him to be his assistant is very simple, because he is a local snake, although he has no energy and resources, he is familiar everywhere, knows some people in various places, and is a very good guide. And in Los Angeles, there is a lot of overlap between the sports circle and the entertainment industry, and it is not a problem for Mills to switch between the two circles.

For example, the place where Ayatollah Khomeenes lives is determined by Mills, the Ivey Beach Hotel in Santa Monica, because this beach is where many NBA players, including NFL, NHL and MLB players, come to meet and have fun, as long as they stay here, most of the faces that are often seen on TV sports news can be seen here.

On the evening of August 1st, Ayatollah Khomeiniz prepares to attend a player party hosted by the famous agent Leon Rose in Ivey Beach, which will be attended by many NBA stars, as well as some agents, scouts, and trainers.

Ayatollah Holmenis was also invited, and this month's time Holmenez was also well-known in Los Angeles, not because her father was Pagliuca or Leon, but because of her amazing beauty, intelligent brain, knowledge that is different from ordinary women, and a skill that cannot be underestimated in the investment field. She completely relied on her own quality to open up a small world of her own.

As night falls on Ivey Beach, the open-air party also begins with bonfires and neon lights.

It's a gathering of sports circles, and the most eye-catching here are the tall and mighty stars, Glenn Robinson, Dale Davis, McGrady, Jamal Mashburn and others, but the biggest attraction is the socialites, Hollywood stars, and some models who dress coolly and use it as a show to show off their beauty and sexiness.

But when Khomemenis appeared, all the light was obscured, and Khomeenes wore a white silk trouser with an off-the-shoulder white suspender with diamond trim. Now that Khomeenes has cut her hair shorter, she has a neat, crisp short haircut, and compared with the star models who wear big waves and sexy dresses and skirts, Khomemenez's chic and capable temperament makes everyone look sideways.

And compared to those who like to look for stars to drink and chat, Khormenes only chats with agents, investors and scouts, she has elegant manners, good conversation, four years of university education, study and rich overseas experience, as soon as you open your mouth, you can feel that she is completely different from those women who are only beautiful.

Of course, in the eyes of some men, there are only two kinds of women, the good-looking and the bad-looking, and Khomemenes belongs to the good-looking ones that are more beautiful. Halfway through the party, with everyone in the mood and some of the stars already hugging off the beach and heading back to their hotels, Ayatollah Khomeenez and party promoter Leon Rose talk about how the sports economy has changed in recent years.

At this moment, a guy carrying a wine bottle, a large gold necklace on a white shirt, and a gray felt hat on his head staggered to Khomemenis, and said, "Beautiful girl, are you interested in meeting me with me, the perfect night view of the Pacific Ocean!" ”

Khomemenes turned her head to see that the person who spoke was none other than the somewhat drunk Hornets star, Baron Davis. Growing up in Los Angeles, California, the player is known for his love of eating, drinking, and playing, and can be seen at various star parties in Los Angeles.

The best place to see the night view in Ivey Beach is the sea view room on the top floor of the Ivey Beach Hotel, of course Khomeenes knew what Davis meant, but seeing that he was also drunk, he didn't care, just smiled and said: "I've been watching it for a whole month, I don't think there will be anything special tonight." ”

"No, no, no! Tonight is going to be very special, very special! Davis put down the bottle in his hand and walked closer to Khamenez, who could already smell the smell of wine on his nose. Khomemenis is not a good-natured person, and if Davis dares to take another inch, she will not hesitate to give Davis a slap in the face.

Seeing this, Mills tried to get between Davis and Ayatollah Khomeinith, but Davis only lifted the weak little Gay away with a single blow.

Leon Rose frowned, he didn't know what kind of drunken Davis was, he knew everything about Khamenez's background.

At this awkward moment, I heard someone say, "Tonight is really special, can you show me something?" ”

As soon as Khomeenes looked for the familiar voice, she saw Fox Leon, the guy she had been thinking about day and night, standing five meters behind her in a white shirt, big pants and slippers.

He clenched his fists, and his bones rattled. (To be continued.) )
