Chapter 5 Lost Traces Section 67 Coming to Los Angeles

"Los Angeles! I'm coming! "At 3:30 a.m. ET, an Asian teenager was awakened by a scream from a neighboring bed.

"You're sick! Three watches in the middle of the night, what are the ghosts crying wolf howling? ”

"Ah~!" The clinical one was also an Asian teenager, with his eyes still closed, but after a sigh, he fell on the pillow again.

"I can't stand you, my little heart! (crying)" Another Asian teenager touched his chest and lay down as well.

This Asian teenager is Zhuo Yifan, on the plane at 7 o'clock this morning, he and Li Xin, the "Dream Language" teenager next to the bed, will take a flight from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, of course, this is his first time to Los Angeles, this city full of charm.

There's Hollywood, there's Disneyland, there's Universal Studios, there's Beverly Hills, there's Santa Monica Beach, there's Staples Center and their home team, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Los Angeles Clippers. It's the only city with two NBA teams, and the only city where two teams share a home court.

The Los Angeles Lakers have won 16 championships in NBA history, second only to the Boston Celtics, who have won 17 championships, and have become the legendary purple and gold. And the "Son of Los Angeles", known as the "Black Mamba", one of the most famous players in the Purple and Gold Army, Kobe Bryant. Bryant has just finished his storied 20-year career here at Staples Center. As the second best basketball god in NBA history, Michael Murphy. Jordan's strongest second-scoring guard, Kobe Bryant. Bryant has dedicated his entire career to the Los Angeles Lakers, with 1,346 regular season games, 220 playoff games, and 14 All-Star games recording the growth from a vigorous teenager to a mature man with honors.

In 1996, he was only 17 years old when he was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets with the 13th pick in the first round of the NBA Draft. But he was immediately traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, and thus began his 20-year storied career. 20 years of fighting have earned him numerous accolades and countless fans.

It's hard to imagine that there is no teenager who loves basketball who hasn't watched Kobe play, just as there was no teenager who loves basketball 20 years ago who didn't watch Michael. Jordan played the same.

His fans include Li Xin, including Zhuo Yifan. Although Li Xin's first idol is Jordan, he still gave Kobe Bryant a high evaluation:

"If it weren't for Jordan, maybe I wouldn't have played basketball. But if it wasn't for Kobe, maybe I wouldn't have been able to keep the basketball going! He is a spiritual force who has taught me not to give in in the face of difficulties. By the time I started playing basketball, Jordan had already retired. There are not many video materials to watch, and the most direct imitation in the NBA is Kobe Bryant, he is an all-round guard, can score, break, shoot, free throws, three-point shooting he is familiar with, almost no offensive blind spots. In addition to his insane scoring, Bryant was also a playmaker, often serving as the team's first initiator of offense. He is also one of the best defenders in the league, and his close defense is very pressing. He is my role model! My goal is to be an all-around defender like him! ”

"Kobe! I'm coming! "Li Xin is still in the Dream Whisperer. The alarm on the mobile phone rang suddenly!

At 4:15, "Hurry up!" It's four-fifteen, get up and get up! Zhuo shouted, and woke up Li Xin, who was still asleep.

"Huh? It's half past five! Well, let's go meet Kobe! Li Xin closed his eyes and continued to whisper in a hazy manner.

Brush your teeth, wash your face, get dressed, pack your luggage, and set off at 4:50. At the door of the hotel, the taxi booked by Zhuo was already waiting at the door.

The two got into the car and said goodbye to Philadelphia, a city that has imprinted important memories in their lives for more than 10 days, and the NBA junior player summer camp has brought Li Xin and Zhuo Yifan too much gain. It's enough for them to remember for a lifetime.

At 5:30, the two arrived at the airport and hurried to the ticket gate to check their tickets. Boarding at 6:40, today's plane took off on time, and at 7:03 the plane took off, looking out the window at the Philadelphia morning, Li Xin waved his hand, as if saying goodbye to an old friend, and left the city.

At 10:15 p.m., the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport. The two teenagers finally arrived in this charming city.

"Los Angeles! I'm finally here! After taking their luggage, the two remained in the departure hall while they waited for the arrival of a third person.

At around 10:40, a tall and familiar figure finally appeared in the terminal.

"Hey! Michael, here! Over here! As soon as he went out, Zhuo raised his right hand and waved it constantly!

The black teenager also saw the tall Chinese teenager, who had just flown from Dallas, Texas to Los Angeles, and also raised his right hand to say hello: "Hey! Profound! Plum! ”

The three hugged each other, and after a few months, the former main force of Siyuan Middle School got together three!

"You can form a Los Angeles 'Lan Meng Boy' team! Ha ha! "Zhuo Hao is not happy.

"The center, the striker, and the defender are exactly three people, it's perfect!" Li Xin also laughed happily.

"Let's go to my house and sit down for a while! Take a break, catch up on some sleep, and go out in the evening! The three of them walked out of the waiting hall with a smile, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a woman with still charm and graceful posture, who looked only in her 30s.

"Mom! There you are! A tall Chinese teenager jumped forward and hugged the woman.

"Hello Auntie! Long time no see! Li Xin greeted the woman politely

"Hey! Xiao Xin, long time no see! The woman returned the salute.

Li Xin looked the woman up and down, wearing a casual pale yellow T-shirt and a floral skirt, and thought: Where does it look like a person of nearly 50, she looks like a girl, so she said: "Auntie, is she slender again, I was still a young beauty from a distance just now!" ”

"This kid is getting better and better at talking, are you still Xiao Xin I know?" Although she said so, the woman's heart was still happy, she was originally a 46-year-old, and she was said to be a young beauty by the guy, can she be unhappy. Women are sensual, but Zhuo's mother He Beiyan is indeed very well maintained, if you don't talk about age just looking at appearance, it is estimated that many people will guess that they are in their 30s, 168cm tall, good proportions, standard measurements, weight is still kept within 55kg, and still likes to wear some bright and fashionable clothes, and looks younger.

"Hey! Hello Auntie! "Michael. McCarthy asked He Beiyan in authentic Chinese.

"Hey! Wheat! Hello, have you grown a little taller again? ”

"Auntie's eyesight is so good, she has grown 1cm taller, and now she is 203cm tall!"

"Good boy! When are you going to be a head? Zhuo leaned over again and compared his height with Michael's hand. With a gap of nearly 10cm, although he has a height of 193.5cm, he is by Michael's side, just like a junior high school student next to him.

"I have decided not to go with you when I go out in the future!" Zhuo Yifan took the lead in opening the car door and got in.

"Alright, alright, no nonsense, get in the car first!" He Beiyan opened the car door, and Li Xin and Michael also entered the car one by one.

"Alright, let's go!" As soon as He Beiyan stepped on the accelerator, the car jumped out with a swish.

"It's good that I pulled my hand quickly, otherwise I would have flown out again. Mom, your driving skills have improved again! ”

"Little bunny, don't be poor, sit well!"

Li Xin also firmly grabbed the handle on the car and said, "Auntie! Every time I ride in your car, I feel like I'm riding a roller coaster for free, it's so enjoyable! The bloodline has been greatly extended! The second pulse of Ren Du has also been completely opened! Li Xin is also becoming more and more able to speak, which would have been unthinkable three years ago. The progress of basketball technology, communication with more people, and seeing more of the world, these external factors have also been changing Li Xin.

"Hahahaha!" He Beiyan burst into a hearty laugh from the front seat

"Xiao Xin! When did you become so funny? You're getting better at talking, and you're sure to be able to please girls! How is He Xiaoxue now? ”

"No, not how!?" When asked about the key point, Li Xin became timid again, and turned to the side to look at the scenery outside the window.

"You're about to enter college, it's time to confirm the relationship, hurry up and determine the relationship, don't keep procrastinating, like a man. Don't you like Xiaoxue? Or do you think, well, what's that? ”

"What's that?" Zhuo interjected.

"Shut up!" He Beiyan scolded Zhuo angrily.

"Do you want to pedal two boats? Well? The balance of the boat is not easy to come by, so don't capsize easily! ”

"Mom, what do you say? Is Li Xin that kind of person? He just wants to play basketball well at this stage, and he doesn't think much about anything else. Zhuo interjected again and fought for his brother.

"And you too, you can find a girlfriend in a hurry, do you have a favorite girl? Tell Mom, Mom will give you a reference! The first point, don't look for foreign girls, my mother still likes Chinese girls, and it's really not okay to come from Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. But don't find me blonde, Mom can't accept it! Hey! ”

"Mom! Drive your car well! Zhuo dragged the elder to call out.

Listening to the conversation between the three, Michael, who was sitting in the back row, smiled, and soon arrived at Zhuo Yifan's home in Los Angeles.

Zhuo Yifan's father, Zhuo Qun, was already waiting at the door, and there was a golden golden retriever dog waiting with him. Seeing the little master who had not seen him for many days, the big golden retriever dog barked non-stop, Zhuo just got out of the car, the big dog immediately pounced, and he flicked his tail, and Tim Zhuo's face was saliva.

"Alright! Blake, don't add it, go inside! Zhuo stretched out his hand and pressed the golden retriever as he beckoned everyone into the house. (To be continued.) )
