Chapter 42: Locke Park

Early the next morning, the young couple set off for New York. After strolling around the Empire State Building for a while, the two of them went on a shopping spree on Fifth Avenue. After a while, Ye Xuan could only hang the shopping bag on his whole body with a helpless face, and followed behind Shen Wei in a gray manner. A woman is really a strange animal, and a woman who goes shopping is really scary.

At the end of the day, Ye Xuan was so tired that he had a sore back, and finally returned to the hotel, Ye Xuan, who was too tired, fell asleep on his stomach, and then looked at Shen Wei on the side, but he still seemed unsatisfied. The next day, the two went to Tiffany to buy some jewelry and other things, and after lunch, they found that Shen Wei had nothing to do, looked at Ye Xuan, who had no love, and proposed, "Hey, looking at your impatient look, are you unwilling to go shopping with me?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Don't dare? Have you ever thought about it? ”

"No, no, I can't even think about it."

"Hee-hee, that's right, eh! We have to go back in half a day, or let's go to Rock Park, I heard that there are a lot of basketball players there. When Ye Xuan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he heard that Kobe Bryant had been abused very badly when he came to Rock Park to challenge, although it was later confirmed that it was a rumor, but the name of Mecca Holy Land of Rock Park, the world's streetball, was still widely spread. But after thinking about it, no, I heard that if there is no acquaintance to lead, a raw face like myself will be accompanied by a big beauty like a flower, but it is very dangerous.

But coincidentally, when the two were discussing whether to go to Rock Park or not, a phone call came and helped him make a decision. It wasn't anyone else who called, it was none other than the New York Knicks' star - Carmelo Anthony "Hey, Ye, I'm Carmelo Anthony, I saw you in New York on the news?" Are you here to accompany your girlfriend to choose a diamond ring? ”

"Hey, Cameron, it's a pleasure to get your call, but how do you know my call?"

"Haha, I've known George for a long time, and I can't get a phone call? By the way, J.R and I are going to a street ball game in Rock Park this afternoon, if you are interested, you can come with us, how about it, do you want to go together? ”

"Oh, Cameron, your call came at a timely time, I was still researching it just now, how can I bring my girlfriend to Rock Park with me without acquaintances."

"That's great, which hotel are you in, I'll come and pick you up later." After telling Anthony the name of the hotel, Ye Xuan hung up the phone, and then shrugged his shoulders to Shen Wei, "Look, someone will send a pillow when you are sleepy, and my brother's connections are such a cow." That pretending expression made Shen Wei laugh.

Not long after, Anthony drove his BMW 745 and J.R to the downstairs of Ye Xuan's hotel. Rock Park is a world-famous basketball court. Located just off 155th Street and Frederick Douglas Avenue.

Many of the players who played in Rock Park became household names for their prowess, including players who went on to enter the NBA. Locke is not a park in the ordinary sense of the word, and it is a must-visit place for those who are obsessed with black culture, New York culture, and even American culture.

When the four of them came to the gate of Rock Park, Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh, only when you stand under the green sign of Rock Park, can you really feel that it is the holy place of street ball. Before you plan to go, you will definitely be warned by all kinds of warnings, especially reminders from outsiders: don't easily look at others, don't easily talk to people standing on the side of the road; Never walk, always drive; Don't come empty-handed. And you have to be accompanied by guys who grew up in real Harlem neighborhoods, and listen to them, otherwise your designer sneakers, cameras, or maybe you will be beaten up for inadvertently glancing at those people in Harlem, this is the rule, and a holy place is a holy place. But if you really come, it shows that you have respect for the legend of Locke, and you are already worthy of respect.

However, under the leadership of Anthony and J.R., Ye Xuan and Shen Wei not only did not suffer from being harassed, but the black people who were street gangsters still treated him with a smile. "It seems that the rumors that Anthony and J.R have gangster backgrounds are not false." Ye Xuan nodded at those black brothers, and secretly thought to himself.

After coming to the basketball court in the center, Anthony beckoned Ye Xuan to sit on the sidelines, and then greeted several black people on the court. Ye Xuan looked at their various gestures of greeting, his head couldn't help but feel dizzy, it took 1 minute just to say hello, and the way to greet them on the street was too troublesome. However, Ye Xuan also knew in his heart that the more greetings he made, the better the relationship between the two would be.

Then Anthony came to Ye Xuan and sat down, "Today is J.R to make an appointment with hot sauce, I also came to see the excitement, how about it, if you want to play two games later, I can also form a team of 3 people with you and find a few good players to practice." ”

"Haha, forget it, I have a big battle to fight tomorrow, you know, the Heat where LeBron and Dwyanne are in the Dust Four, I am the big enemy of the two of them on the road to defending their titles this year."

"That's right, you have to repair them, don't let them continue to win the championship this year, among our four heroes, Paul and I don't have a championship, he hugged each other and took two in one go." Ye Xuan heard Anthony's words, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead, "Is this the legendary best friend?" ”

Hot Sauce is one of the most well-known players in streetball circles today. He first appeared in the AND1 video and is now a streetball superstar. Hot Sauce was born in Brooklyn, New York City. Having been sentenced to prison for civil crimes, he was released on bail with the help of his friend Mark Edward, who worked at AND1, and came to Atlanta with Mark. On the street court in Atlanta, Hot Sauce attracted the attention of street fans all over the United States, and became a generation of streetball masters there.

After J.R and Hot Sauce warmed up separately, they started heads-up, Hot Sauce first used a fast dribble to confuse the opponent, and then the whole body slowed down almost like crawling on the ground, and then suddenly rushed forward, and then took a step back, completely shook off J.R, hit the shot, and the scene suddenly let out a shocking cheer. Anthony on the side applauded and introduced to Ye Xuan, "This trick is Hot Sauce's famous stunt Slow MO Cross." ”

After hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded, indeed, this name is very appropriate, use slow motion to confuse the opponent, and then use sudden other movements to completely shake off the opponent, so as to gain space for shooting. "Hey, it's a pity that the talent system can't draw this kind of legendary street ball star's extraordinary talent, otherwise I have this invincible extraordinary talent, coupled with super shooting, there are no more than two people to defend me, don't even try to stop me from scoring."

"Ding, the system warmly reminds that in the system upgrade package after level 5, there is a chance to open the extraordinary talent of legendary street ball star Earl McNicott." Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head in disappointment, "I am only level 3 system now, and it is becoming more and more difficult to upgrade in the future, and the system upgrade package after level 5 is only a chance to be obtained, this kind of lottery chance, I don't bother to complain." ”
