Los Angeles Beverly Hills is adjacent to the studio city Hollywood, where many entertainment stars and celebrities own Beverly Hills mansions, which is also the richest area in Los Angeles and has the title of "the world's most exclusive residential area". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Magic Johnson's villa in Beverly Hills has a full-size basketball court, an open-air tennis court, and a total of 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and 5 other homes.

"What a envy!"

After entering the most famous city within a city in Los Angeles, Zhang Zhu saw the mansions of different styles on both sides of the street, and his heart instantly had the motivation to struggle.

Jerry West naturally saw his expression and said in a tone full of seduction: "You have the potential to live here, but I don't know if you have the diligence to match this potential." ”

Zhang Qi hurriedly said: "Of course there is!" ”

Jerry Weiss nodded, and Zhang didn't make a fanciful statement to him at every opportunity, as most rookies he had met in the past.

The word "hard work", no matter how much he says, it is useless, Zhang Mao's statement is more in line with his mind, one sentence is enough.

"We're here." West drove the car to a huge mansion.

The butler of the magician's house was already waiting at the gate to greet him, and when West drove the car into the mansion, Zhang Qiu saw through the car window that the magician was walking out of the hall door in civilian clothes, and greeted the two from afar.

"Leon, welcome to my home, and I'll introduce you to my family."

The Magician has always had a good attitude towards Zhang Mao, and every time he sees him in training, he will go up and give him a few words, which is something that Van Exel can't enjoy.

"Your home is amazing!" Zhang Qi is not polite, when he saw the full-size open-air basketball court not far away, he was sincerely envious, this feeling of being able to train at home must be cool!

The magician smiled: "Stay here tonight, I have already cleaned up the room for you, and I will go to the training hall with you tomorrow." ”

Zhang Wei couldn't help coughing, but he could only nod, he still couldn't refuse this kind of invitation.

Jerry West also walked over after parking the car, said hello to the magician, and then waved to Zhang Fu.

"Let me introduce you, this is my wife, and my three sons."

"Hello Madam, it's an honor to meet you."

Zhang Yu hurriedly hugged the magician's wife politely, and then looked at the three little children who were not even ten years old, and also stepped forward to say hello.

However, the three little children ignored him, and Zhang Wei didn't care, the children of the general big people were like this bear when they were young, and some of them could be changed when they grew up, and many of them couldn't be changed, and then they became the second generation of rich people or the second generation of officials.

The magician led Zhang Fu into the living room: "Leon, I have prepared a few Chinese dishes for you tonight, I hope you like it." ”

Zhang Yu was a little flattered, he knew that he was not a big person, but the magician was so well prepared when he entertained him, it was impossible not to be moved, and he finally felt a little guilty about the illness that he had disliked the other party before, his idea was indeed too villainous.

"How's it going, are you still used to living in Los Angeles?"

At dinner, the magician still greeted him like an elder.

Zhang Wei was a little embarrassed, which was rare in the past, and his current restrained appearance really looked like an 18-year-old young man.

"Hmm...... This time...... I haven't had time to take a closer look at Los Angeles...... Except for some differences in the style of the buildings, Los Angeles is more lively than Sydney...... I didn't feel much difference in other things, and I was very comfortable with the life and food. ”

"If you have time, you should go to Chinatown, and Chinatown in Los Angeles is very good."

Zhang Wei felt a little pain in his heart, and it seemed that the magician also regarded him completely as Chinese.

There's nothing wrong with that, but Zhang Qi wants to be recognized by everyone.

A half-breed like him doesn't like to be directly rowed in one direction.

But from childhood to adulthood, he was completely placed on the side of the Chinese.

A lot of the time, everyone has no malicious intent.

But when you think about it, it is still the deep-rooted concept of discrimination in your heart, even if you are friendly to Europeans and Americans, they will subconsciously draw racial boundaries clearly.

At the dinner table, Zhang Fu saw a few Chinese dishes, which were said to be borrowed by a magician from a Chinese neighbor.

Unlike most of the Chinese and blacks, who live in the slums, they can always see many wealthy Chinese in the rich neighborhoods, in addition to living in the Chinese community.

The proportion of Chinese Americans in the middle class is also large, and at the worst is the working class with a stable income, which is much stronger than that of blacks.

But money can't buy a lot of things, and living in a wealthy neighborhood doesn't mean that Chinese Americans are being accepted, and these Chinese children will still be ostracized and bullied by other white and even black children in their teenage years.

Magic and West called Zhang Qiu to dinner today, which is also related to yesterday's incident, mainly to care about this rookie who has just turned 18 years old.

In the eyes of these two people, Zhang Qi is a little kid, so they are worried that the discrimination incident will affect his mentality.

NBA players are generally immature, let alone these high school students.

So most of the teams will spoil these high school geniuses and even take care of them like babies.

Zhang Wei found that the attitude of the two Lakers veterans towards him was completely opposite to that of his agent.

Trim's side is eager to make things as big as possible, and it is best to let the whole world know that Zhang Mao has been wronged.

The Lakers are the opposite, Zhang can feel that they are too protective of him, and he wants to hide him a little, and he doesn't want to get involved in these off-court trivialities.

As for the grievances he suffered, he just needs to let the team deal with them, and he just needs to continue to train in a low-key manner.

These two Lakers celebrities obviously think of Zhang as an American-style high school student, but unlike those silly black and hard guys, he is more mature than many college players.

Most NBA players only have one world, basketball, and when they leave basketball, they will seriously lack self-confidence, and even have no normal world view and outlook on life.

That's why these people quickly degenerate as soon as they enter the NBA and get enough money to make them drunk.

On top of that, these guys usually handle frustrations and off-field distractions very badly as well!

There are many talented players in the NBA, and they all end up in places that seem strange and incomprehensible to ordinary people.

In many cases, it can be understood that these physically talented athletes are not as healthy and strong as a helpless science and liberal arts student, NBA players are really not as strong as fans think, and their hearts are very fragile.

This time, the magician invited him to his home as a guest, also because the two Lakers celebrities wanted to take a closer look at his heart, especially after yesterday's discrimination incident, they wanted to know if Zhang Mao would be affected too much?

Now it seems that Zhang Qian gave the two of them a reassurance, and he was not affected by this incident at all.

At this time, in the outside world, more and more eyes began to pay attention to this discrimination incident under the influence of Trim and the Lakers......

Some smart people can see that this thing will not logically develop to such a point, or so fast.

Discrimination against Chinese Americans in the United States is staged every day in all walks of life, but in most of the Chinese American groups that have nothing to do with themselves and hang high, it is difficult to cause too many waves.

At most, some Chinese groups protested on a small scale, but because the scale was too small, they would eventually be stopped.

This is also the reason why those two blacks dare to openly discriminate against Zhang Fu, generally this situation is generally not able to make waves, and the favorite thing for Chinese Americans to do is to turn big things into small things and small things.

But this time it's different, this time it's like there's a pusher behind you leading the rhythm.

After two days of fermentation, this incident not only did not die down as before, but began to trigger another round of racial discrimination discussion in the United States.

It's just that this time the protagonist has changed from black to Chinese.

This is a relatively rare situation, and the Chinese community is notoriously trouble-loving.

First of all, the mayor of Los Angeles expressed his opinion on the 22nd in particular against this racist remark:

"These statements of ESPN and Fox Sports have strong racist overtones, maybe this is not the intention of the two media outlets, but I hope that they can investigate the results as soon as possible and deal with those two scum who have insulted the image of the United States, we cannot accept that there are still such backward and barbaric behaviors in a civilized society."

Many well-known NBA stars also responded to the incident, and Buck Williams, a Trail Blazers player and then president of the players' union, was quick to comment on the matter:

"On behalf of the players' union, I said that this is a very serious matter and we will take serious measures, and the union has reached out to ESPN and Fox Sports in the hope that they will respond to this matter. We're going to let Lyon know that as long as he's in the NBA, we're a big family and it's not going to be his business alone. ”

"Flyer" Jordan also joined the condemnation, and the voice of the basketball god is obviously much more weighty:

"As a player, I am disgusted that a media worker should speak out like this, and that there is no place for such statements in the NBA or anywhere, and I am appalled that this ignorance still exists in our country."

Jordan, as the emperor superstar of the NBA, his statement instantly attracted more media attention, and this matter was obviously hyped up again.

Zhang Wei had returned to his home by this time, and he met with Trim in the morning, and the gold medal agent informed him that he was going to participate in a local talk show in Los Angeles the day after tomorrow, and gave him a question from the host of the night, as well as his answers.

"Damn, these talk shows actually have scripts for lines?" Zhang Wei now finally knows why those stars who participate in talk shows can have witty remarks, and their feelings are all scripted!

Trim is still worried, because his previous employers usually require them to receive the script and script of the show a week or half a month in advance, so that they can have enough time to memorize it.

Zhang Wei said that there was no problem, he just needed to know what the host would ask at that time, and he just had to be mentally prepared in advance.

When he is really on the scene, he may not be able to read the script, which is not his style.

Trim was worried, because this was a live talk show, and if Zhang Mao made some kind of moth, it would be counterproductive.

Zhang is more concerned about tomorrow night's game at this time, and if his second Summer League game does not play well, it will undoubtedly affect the hype of Trim in the past two days.

This world is very cruel and realistic, and a guy with no strength, even if he is discriminated against, will not cause much repercussions.

When Bruce Lee became famous, even in that darker era than himself, he did not receive much racial discrimination, because no one dared to do it.

So, he can't just give up on his roots, the basketball court is his main line, and if he wants to really use this to hype himself, he has to put on a shocking performance on the court in order to really put himself at the center of the conversation.
