"Blake?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"yes, Clippers All-Star power forward Blake. That Blake of Griffin! Zhuo blurted out the origin of the dog's name.

"I'm dizzy!" Li Xin knew that Zhuo's idol was Griffin, but he didn't expect to name the dog in his own house as an idol. Is this love for idols or for the sake of idols?

"Don't underestimate Blake, he can play basketball!" Zhuo pointed to the dog and said.

"Blow! The cowhide doesn't even play drafts! Li Xin said disappreciatively.

"I really didn't blow it, I don't believe it! Let's eat first, and when we're done, we'll take you to the basketball court in the backyard to show your hand! Zhuo said confidently.

"Okay, I'll wait!"

Li Xin looked up and down at Zhuo's new home in Los Angeles. A large single-family house, it can be said that it is a villa, and there are many such houses in the United States, with a large garage door at the front entrance and a door on the left. There are two floors.

"Come on, come on, I'll take you around!" Zhuo had already reached the second floor and beckoned Li Xin and Michael to come up.

The two walked up to the second floor together and followed Zhuo to visit Zhuo's new home.

"This is my bedroom!" When I opened the door of Zhuo Yifan's bedroom, I was greeted by a strong basketball atmosphere. Posters of NBA stars are plastered all over the wall. There was a large desk by the window with Griffin, Kobe Bryant and Chris. Paul's doll.

On the left wall hangs a large TV, with an HD player underneath, and an XBOXOne game console next to it.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhuo pressed the remote control to turn on the TV and start broadcasting NBA games.

"Well, it's not bad!" Zhuo asked proudly.

"It's the NBA offseason, how can there be a game?" Li Xin asked.

"These are all games that I've recorded before, like this year's Western Conference Finals Warriors vs. Thunder, Western Conference Semifinals Spurs vs. Thunder, and Finals Warriors vs. Cavaliers. Just play it with the player. 1080P HD, and not stuck at all. You can also play it back and edit it at any time! ”

"There are also game consoles, you can play together NBA2K16 hehe!" Zhuo Yifan continued.

"Michael, have you played it?" Zhuo nodded to Michael and asked.

Michael: "Yes, but very little!" ”

Zhuo Yifan: "Hehe, do you want to have a hand." I'll pick the Clippers, whatever team you choose, except for the All-Star! ”

Michael: "Okay! ”

"Yifan, I'm down for dinner with Li Xin and Michael!" The two were gearing up to try, and He Beiyan's voice came from downstairs.

"Come down right now, I'll take them around again!" Zhuo Yifan replied to his mother downstairs.

"Let's eat first, let's talk while eating!" Zhuo Yifan beckoned the two friends downstairs.

"How many rooms do you have in your house?" Li Xin asked.

Zhuo Yifan snapped his fingers and said, "About 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 toilets, and 3 fireplaces." There are also 2 garages, the floor is marble floor, there is a large yard of more than 1,000 square meters at the back, there is a garden, there is a swimming pool, and the most important thing is that a half-court basketball court has been built, which is enough to play basketball there. ”

Li Xin: "Good girl, what is the total area of such a big house?" ”

Zhuo Yifan: "The residential area is about 6,500 square feet, which is about 600 square meters, not counting the yard and basement. ”

Li Xin: "Is this a mansion?" ”

Zhuo Yifan: "Mansion? Well, in the United States, it is a middle and upper villa! And now that U.S. real estate is in a period of trough recovery, the price is not expensive. ”

Li Xin: "Not expensive? Can this Los Angeles house be cheaper than Shanghai's? ”

Zhuo Yifan: "Guess? ”

Li Xin: "How can 600 square meters get 20 million in Shanghai!" ”

Zhuo Yifan: "This house is about the same price as the 300-square-meter villa sold in Shanghai, and it has been replaced with a 600-square-meter villa here, do you think it's cost-effective?" It's just that the tax is a bit high in normal times! ”

Li Xin remembered that Zhuo Yifan said before that the villa sold in Shanghai was about 11 million, which was about 1.7 million when converted into US dollars, and now it is only this price to buy a 600-square-meter villa in Los Angeles, which is really cost-effective.

The three teenagers sat down to eat in the living room, although they came to the United States, but the food customs were still the same as when they were in China, a few stir-fried vegetables and a soup, and some cooked food seemed simple but also hearty.

"Xiao Xin, I heard that you were admitted to Jiaotong University?" Zhuo Qunyue asked.

"Well, yes, uncle! Relatively lucky. Li Xin nodded and said.

Zhuo Qunyue: "Jiaotong University is the No. 1 basketball school of Shanghai University, you have to take advantage of the opportunity." However, is it that Zhang Qiyi from Nanyang also entered Jiaotong University last year, the two of you overlap positions, but there is some competition. ”

Li Xin: "I know that I will work hard, but now I am also strengthening my scoring training, such as three-point shooting and mid-range shooting. He can also play as a shooting guard when the team needs it. In this way, I think I will have more opportunities, and I may appear on the court at the same time as Zhang Qiyi in the future. ”

Zhuo Qunyue: "Well, work hard, if you play well in college in the past few years, you will probably be directly selected by the CBA draft and enter the CBA to play." ”

"Well, thank you uncle for your concern, I will! Zhuo Yifan also has to come on! Li Xin turned his head to look at Zhuo Yifan.

Zhuo Yifan: "Hehe, then it goes without saying, UCLA is already waving to me!" We'll get some sleep after dinner and take you to Venice Beach in the afternoon. ”

Li Xin: "Venice Beach? What is it? Also has a place to play basketball at the beach? ”

"Of course, there are countless indoor and outdoor basketball courts in Los Angeles that you can visit and play. But for basketball fans in Los Angeles, Venice Beach is the most enjoyable thing to watch while watching the game and enjoy the ocean view. There are dozens of waterfront courses in Los Angeles, with Venice Beach being the most unique of the Los Angeles courses. Zhuo said endlessly.

"Will there be a street basketball game in Venice Beach?" Li Xin asked.

Zhuo Yifan: "Of course, if the weather is good, there will be competitions throughout the week, and more events on weekends, of course, there will be no private masters." Did you know that there are a lot of great streetball players in the United States? ”

Li Xin: "Well, I've heard of some, such as 'Bone Collector' and 'Mr.720'. ”

Zhuo Yifan: "Niu, you know a lot!" I've watched a lot of streetball videos lately, and I've also been to those popular streetball venues to watch games. There are really a lot of cattle, and once I was lucky enough to see the 'professor', have you heard of it? ”

Li Xin shook his head, "What about you?" Zhuo Yifan looked at Michael.

Michael shook his head as well.

"Let me tell you!" Zhuo shrugged his shoulders and said proudly:

There is a saying circulating in basketball forums: if you remember the streetball brand AND1, you won't know "Professor". "Professor" Grayson. Boucher is only 1.7 meters tall, which seems to be 176cm. But the style of play is gorgeous, and as a white player, he has made a name for himself on the black-dominated street court. In addition to being the first white player to sign in ADN1 history, but also because of his unique streetball style. Proficient and solid basic skills in ball control, and a variety of fancy street ball moves created by themselves.

In the AND1MixTapetour's Battle of Rock Park, Boucher completely won over the streetball man Duke. Tang Ge, since then, Tang Ge has been said to be a "professor" on the court, teaching people what basketball is. Boucher's nickname "Professor" was gone. Zhuo Yifan told the story of "Professor" like a few treasures, and coming to the United States seems to be a step closer to these basketball stars, not only NBA stars, but also these folk basketball stars, as if they are all within reach.

"And then I took a picture with him, hehe." Zhuo Yifan took out his mobile phone and flipped out a photo, which was a photo of him and a white young man, who looked about 30 years old. Smiling, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, he is quite handsome.

"Didn't you play with him?" Li Xin asked again.

Zhuo Yifan: "No! There are so many fans that I don't have a chance to compete with a streetball player like them, and the only way is to participate in a streetball tournament, such as the series of competitions created by AND1. I heard that there will be a tour in Los Angeles in these two days, why don't we go for it? ”

"Okay!" Li Xin and Michael spoke in unison, and their emotions were high, and they both seemed to have this intention.

Michael asked, "How long does it take to get to Venice Beach by car?" ”

"It's not a remote area, it's about 40 minutes to Venice and about half an hour to the city center

After lunch, it was already half past one in the afternoon, and the fatigue of getting up early to catch the plane made the three teenagers a little tired, Zhuo Yifan, Michael and Li Xin came to a new large bedroom and slept in the afternoon.

Li Xin: "Huh? If we go to a streetball game, what is the name of our team? ”

Zhuo Yifan: "Lan Meng boy!" ”

Li Xin: "How do you translate into English?" ”

Zhuo Yifan: "BasketballDreamingBoy? ”

Li Xin: "Why does it sound weird?" ”

Zhuo Yifan: "Then what do you call it?" ”

Li Xin: "Lan Meng's boy in Los Angeles! It's LABasketballDreamingBoy."

Zhuo Yifan: "This name is too long!" ”

Li Xin: "Then it's all abbreviated as LABD-BOY!" How is it? ”

"That's a good name, so let's call it!" The trio unanimously approved the name of the team.

At 4:30 p.m., Zhuo Yifan was the first to wake up and call the other two.

"It's half-past four, get up, guys! Let's go, go to Venice Beach! ”

"Good!" The three of them changed into jerseys and brought a basketball, and Blake happily surrounded the three of them, screaming and jumping.

"Blake, you stay at home and come back to play with you in the evening!" Zhuo Yifan touched Blake's head and said comfortingly. The dog obediently squatted and sat down.

The trio hailed a taxi and headed for Venice Beach. (To be continued.) )
