Chapter 42: 18th Birthday, Gold Club
Christmas War is the first day after Christmas every year, and the NBA schedules only a few heavyweight games, and these games are known as Christmas Wars. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info Since the 40s of the last century, the NBA has had a tradition of launching heavyweight games on Christmas Eve, and this business idea seemed quite ahead of its time at the time. After the popularity of TV broadcasting, watching the NBA live broadcast on Christmas Eve has become a tradition for Chinese.
This year's Christmas game is played by four teams, as the league hegemon, the Bulls team of that year is naturally a must-invite "VIP" every year, and the important thing is the selection of supporting roles. It's the Pistons this year. The Bulls and Pistons play, and the Bulls are at home. Lakers and Suns, Suns home.
The NBA league's selection criteria for the annual Christmas game actually lies in a "grudge". There is no enmity without enmity, and the NBA itself is a river and lake, where enmity can be the beam of the poignant playoff battle, the riot caused by the fist and foot and the battle of words, or the public ring of popular stars competing for popularity and market, all to attract attention. The alliance is well versed in the principle of "if there are conditions, and if there are no conditions to create conditions", in order to attract attention, to create the greatest comprehensive benefits.
The "hatred" between the Pistons and the Bulls is known all over the world, but the current batch of "bad boys" has been gone, "Smiling Assassin" Thomas, "King of Bad Boys" Bill Lambie, "Microwave" Vinnie John, "Singles King" Adrian Dantlison retired, and Dennis Rodman also "defected" to the Bulls. Now only "good boys" Joe Dumas and Rick Mahon are still holding on.
The Pistons didn't make any waves at all, but Grant Hill still had a strong performance to score 27 points, although there have been some recent rumors that Hill can't stand this team culture that values selfless teams and wild defense.
In the game between the Lakers and the Suns, the Suns also fought all the way under the leadership of "Mayor" Kevin Johnson and Mike Finley, while Kidd did not play due to injury. But there was no one on the inside, O'Neal was playing upside down in it, the Lakers had 20 more rebounds than the Suns, and it was natural that the Suns lost in the end.
After the game, the Bulls players also hurried home to spend Christmas with their families.
And Liu Ming went home for his birthday, and his family still came according to Beijing time, Chicago time was 13 hours later than Beijing, so Liu Ming's birthday on the 26th was over on the 25th in Chicago.
When I got home, the family was already ready, my uncle's family also came, the table was full of dishes made by my father, looking at my father, my mother's temples also had green silk, Liu Ming also realized that he had grown up after all, and today he was a real adult, and he would be responsible for what he would do in the future.
The family naturally chattered after eating, Liu Qiang and Liu Li brothers naturally drank some wine, and the two of them saw that Liu Ming was 18 years old, they were really emotional, thinking of when they were young, the family usually spent less time together, and suddenly opened the conversation box on this birthday.
In the middle of the night, my father and uncle were drunk, and my mother, aunt, and Liu Ming helped them all to bed, and Liu Ming's little sister had already gone to bed. Mother Wang Xiang looked at Liu Ming with a sad face, thinking of the difficulties of living in the United States just now, the child has grown so big in a blink of an eye, and now she is not as tall as the child's shoulders.
That night, my mother talked to Liu Ming until dawn, and Liu Ming didn't sleep all night.
He did not inherit his father's Sichuan restaurant, but embarked on the road of an athlete in a different way, although his father Liu Qiang did not say anything, but Liu Ming saw the disappointed expression. In my father's mind, although playing basketball can compete for more money and be more famous, there are too many variables, and the most important thing is that he can't be at home often. This made Liu Qiang feel not very down-to-earth.
Liu Ming's own dream is to make a career and leave a name in history. Of course, Liu Ming will not give up, but now Liu Ming can also appreciate the good intentions of his parents, as if he grew up overnight.
When I woke up the next day, everyone's life returned to normal, but the family members saw Liu Ming's changes, as if the "coming-of-age ceremony" really made Liu Ming an adult.
On the 26th, just after enjoying a perfect Christmas, the Bulls came to Atlanta non-stop.
Robert "Chief" Parrish started tonight in place of Bill Winnington, who came off the bench with a recurrent foot injury.
Tonight's Eagles are excited about Christmas, "three military lives", in the spirit of not letting go of a frontcourt rebound, it just so happens that Rodman's state is a little bad today, and I don't know where to go after this game.
In the end, relying on a slight advantage in rebounding, the Hawks won the Bulls with a "108-106".
After the game, the Bulls came to their senses, and Jordan and Rodman hurriedly drove away after attending the press conference. Pippen may be the only one on the team who knows where they have gone.
However, Liu Ming can also guess that their "lust" is so obvious, they must be going to the "The.gold.club", the Golden Club.
The beginning of NBA players' entry into the Gold Club is supposed to be the beginning of the "gorilla", Kaplan (the owner of the Gold Club), who, knowing that the Knicks and the Pacers had just finished a game and were ready to celebrate, organized a group of dancers from the club to fly to Charleston (a place in New York). That night, he chartered a small ballroom in the hotel where the Knicks stayed and held a reward ball for the Knicks, and he didn't charge a penny, of course, the rest of the story. Ewing frequently visited the "Golden Club", and after returning home, he did not forget to brag to his teammates, which immediately aroused the desire of other team members to go to the "Golden Club" to find out. Mutombo and Dennis Rodman later became regulars in the "Golden Club".
NBA players are multimillionaires, but they are potential guests of the club, and those who have tasted the sweetness have word of mouth among the team, and the Gold Club has quickly become famous.
In order to attract more customers, Kaplan began to improve the soft environment of the "Golden Club" and launched "3S" services - Sex, Secrecy, and Security. Sex is needed by men all over the world, and secrecy and safety are especially important for celebrities.
High-end VIP members have dedicated "Golden Room" areas to enjoy famous players, entertainment stars, business tycoons and even celebrities and dignitaries, and Kaplan has several zones according to their professional characteristics. For example, the stars have a "galloping field" area; Performing arts stars have a "stand out" area; Celebrity politicians should have a "self-respecting" zone; Business tycoons have "heroic dry clouds" zones, and so on. Each room has good soundproofing facilities, and there are bodyguards outside the door, which is very secure. And each area has a special secret passage, so you don't have to worry about running into idle people when you come to have fun.
Kaplan also recruited a group of sexy and beautiful strippers from all over the world. Clothing. Dance. Mother.. There are petite and delicate Asian girls, brave and fanatical Nordic girls, and mysterious and wild African girls. The "Gold Club" became even more famous.
So, Bill Gates, the head of Microsoft, came; "Media King" Ted Turner is here; Rugby greats Tyril Davis and Gamar Anderson are here; Famous movie star Bruce Willis and famous director George Croonny are here; Even King Gustepf of Sweden was not willing to be lonely, and also came to the "Golden Club" in Atlanta to catch the trend.
But I have to admire that NBA players still have decent gentlemen, and "******" Mark Jackson is such a gentleman who is invincible. How is it invulnerable? When a dancer came to his room, he blocked the dancer out of the door and claimed, "Thank you, I don't need this kind of service." I am a married man and I am very happy to be married. ”
PS: Alas, there are no position recommendations this week, and the results are estimated to be going down again. My head hurts.
