- Addison, do you know how horrible our school is?! We actually have to add classes during the winter vacation!!

- uh...... Aren't Chinese high schools all very fond of extra classes? And you're a senior in high school, aren't you about to take the university entrance exam?

- I thought you didn't know much about Chinese high schools, but it turned out that I knew it very well, and I was coquettish for nothing......

- My father told me about it before, and I also looked it up on the Internet...... To tell you the truth, when I was 8 years old, my father even considered sending me back to China to study.

——Sent back to China...... It's hard to imagine what you'd be like now if you grew up in China......

Addison, who was lying on the hotel bed, tilted his head and thought about it for a moment, and chuckled speechlessly without a clue. Before entering university, he traveled to China almost twice a year, visited many cities, and saw a lot of different things.

To be honest, the atmosphere of basketball in China is very strong, and there are many young people playing on the courts that Addison walked by. But on the whole, Addison still feels that there is a big difference with the United States, and he is not qualified to judge whether there is a gap, but he feels that the difference is obvious.

A distinction that cannot be put into words......

Addison shook his head and looked out the window at the glittering night. The Heat have arrived in Los Angeles, the City of Angels, and they lost to the Clippers tonight and have been beaten twice this season. However, the coaching staff did not care much about the outcome of this game, and they did not set the Clippers as a must-win opponent in the road schedule in Los Angeles this time.

Addison faced Chris for the second time. Paul, who improved his game from before, especially limited CP3 to 5-of-13 shooting and scored only 16 points. However, Paul still revitalized the team with 11 assists, and even with Whiteside and Bosh doing their best on both ends of the floor, the Clippers' interior still had a slight advantage.

The Heat only lost by 4 points to their opponents, and they lost in the face of a strong opponent, and this time the outside world has much less sarcastic criticism of Addison, but many media said that the Miami people have done their best, and they lost this game more on luck than strength.

After the loss to the Clippers, the Heat will have a day to rest and adjust. After a morning of recovery training, Addison left the training ground to meet up with a new friend of his.

"Haha, you're on time, Add!" He was met by a sturdy young man with neat short hair, about 6 centimeters taller than Addison, and yellow skin like him.

Jeremy Lin, the point guard of the Los Angeles Lakers this season, is arguably the most successful yellow-skinned player in the NBA since Yao Ming.

Speaking of Addison, he and Jeremy Lin got acquainted from the Internet, and Jeremy Lin first followed Addison's Twitter and took the initiative to @ him. Addison naturally also paid attention to Jeremy Lin, and the two have intersected since then. Both Chinese who entered the NBA, Addison and Jeremy Lin would chat online from time to time, although the relationship was not as good as that with Jabari. Parker is so iron, but it's also relatively talkative.

After the Heat came to Los Angeles, Jeremy Lin took the initiative to invite Addison, and as the host, he wanted to take the other party to have a good visit in Los Angeles.

"EVER HEARD OF IN-N-OUT, EDDIE? It was one of the most famous fast-food restaurants in Los Angeles, and the beef rolls were not only delicious, but also so nutritious that even our team trainers frequented them. Sitting in Jeremy Lin's Mercedes-Benz E-Class co-pilot, Addison quietly listened to the other party's introduction, showing a slight smile.

- I thought you were going to take me to a Chinese dinner...... I was going to eat fast food.

"Please, Eddie, don't we have a game tomorrow? My trainer strictly forbids me to eat Chinese food when the schedule is packed because it's too fat...... "Lin shrugged his shoulders, "but the Chinese food is really good!" When I went to China for an event, I once ate sauerkraut fish. Dude, you don't know...... It was a feeling of being addictive! ”

THE TWO DROVE TO IN-N-OUT, THE MOST FAMOUS FAST-FOOD RESTAURANT IN LOS ANGELES, AND EACH OF THEM ASKED FOR TWO OVERSIZED BEEF ROLLS.

INTERVIEWER How was your time in Los Angeles? I don't think you've had a great time lately, even Ronnie. Guys like Price are running over you.

Jeremy Lin sighed and took another big bite of the meat roll: "Anyway, it's not the same environment as I expected...... I've been playing basketball for so many years, and it's the first time I've found that if I'm so good, I can sit on the bench! ”

Addison was amused by the other party's exaggerated tone, and was a little looking forward to his next complaint.

"I don't understand Byron. How Scott defined my position, but it didn't seem like the way he wanted to play, no matter how hard I tried. Honestly, at Cameron. Anthony and James. Harden has been teammates for a few years, and I already know how to work with teammates who need to carry the ball. I can play with Kobe Bryant and I know how to make the most of my strengths. But my manager seemed to think I didn't know, and even felt like I would never know. ”

From Jeremy Lin's words, it is clear that he is very interested in Byron. Scott's dissatisfaction, Addison didn't know much about the head coach, and it was not easy to assert it.

- Tell me about Kobe, how do you think of Kobe, who has been teammates for a few months?

The question seemed to stump Jeremy Lin, and he pursed his lips and thought, "Let's put it this way, as a man and a professional player, I admire him. While he can be stubborn on the court at times, he's the best in the league in terms of ability and leadership in the locker room.

"No matter what kind of player he is, he will absolutely obey Kobe's orders, and I personally think that his majesty is a talent, and I am afraid that I will not be able to learn it in my life. Truth be told, Kobe Bryant is a flawed guy, and his flaws are obvious and undisguised. But when you are accepted by him, you will find that he is a person who can get along with... Even people who are very easy to get along with.

"He invited me to his house for dinner because he saw me practice alone for two hours after the team's training camp."

After hearing Jeremy Lin's words, Addison was silent for a long time. Jeremy Lin, who was born at Harvard University, has a high level of emotional intelligence and is often observant of others.

- I think I'm more interested in Kobe...... Let's change the subject, who do you think will win tomorrow? Heat or Lakers?

"Honestly? It's definitely you. Jeremy Lin's answer was almost unthinking, "Byron. Scott's guy has no clue about his tactics, and I don't even think he has a formed tactic. If I had played enough minutes, maybe I wouldn't have been so unconfident, but it's almost impossible. ”

Addison's eyes narrowed slightly, and he knew that Jeremy Lin didn't like to slander people at will. But now that the other party has said so, that only proves that Jeremy Lin is very interested in Byron. Scott's unfavorable feelings have reached a limit.

At 6:30 p.m. the next day, Staples Field was full.

Although the Lakers' record has plummeted in the past two seasons, as the representative team of Angel City, the Lakers' home court is still the favorite place for celebrities and entertainment superstars. And as long as these star-studded names are still willing to attend, the attendance at Staples Stadium will never be low.

Not to mention Kobe. Bryant hasn't retired yet, and the 'Black Mamba' is also a big guarantee of the Lakers' attendance, even if it's Kobe Bryant, who is not confused and injured recently. Bryant.

Before the game, Jeremy Lin introduced Addison and Kobe Bryant to know each other, but after only a brief hello, the Lakers leader returned to the halfcourt and silently practiced shooting alone.

Addison didn't care, this is the 'black mamba' in his impression, and the habit of doing shooting practice quietly before the game is very similar to the two of them.

"If it weren't for that black mamba, I wouldn't be willing to comment on the Lakers' game!" Charles. Barkley's big face appears in the camera, "Can anyone tell me what else is worth paying attention to this Lakers team?" Except for Kobe Bryant, who finally got rid of a rotator cuff tear injury......"

"Maybe not, Charles." Kenny. "The Lakers now have a 12-26 record, which is the second-to-last in the West, just a little better than the poor Timberwolves. ”

"If there are no accidents, this will be a one-sided slaughter of the Heat against the Lakers." Buck put his hand on his broad chin, "Well, the slaughter is sometimes funny and can make you feel like a dictator...... Of course, I'm talking about the side that is ahead. ”

The game is about to start, Byron. Scott really didn't let Jeremy Lin start, but sent Ronnie, who had never played much in his life. Price. Spoelstra was relaxed at this scene, originally in his mind the only threatening players for the Lakers were Kobe Bryant and Jeremy Lin, and now one of them is pressed to the bench, which will make an already simple thing even easier.

"Jump ball! It was a contest without suspense, and Whiteside won easily! Barkley in the live broadcast room still didn't take his hands off his chin, and it looked like he wanted to sleep like this.

Addison received the basketball and passed the half court slowly, not even planning to look at Ronnie who was guarding in front of him. Price. He watched everyone move along the three-point line, neither gesturing for cooperation nor making a breakthrough.

Just in the next second! The Chinese point guard's right hand on the dribble suddenly shook, and the basketball flew quickly from the left side of Price's body into the inside line, hitting the ground and bouncing to the right baseline!

Ruhr on the right side of the three-point line. Deng got rid of Wesley with little to no effort. Johnson's defense cut in and went straight to the basket! Catching the ground-hitting pass, he took two big steps, jumped up and pulled his arms open to the basket!

"Boom !!"

Ed. Davis was dragged to the top by Bosh, while Jordan. Hill was firmly stuck behind Whiteside. Ruhr. Deng dunked the ball with ease, and did not encounter any obstacles in the process.
