Los Angeles, the City of Angels. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When you think of this metropolis on the West Coast of the United States, people will think of many terms related to her: Hollywood, Disneyland, Caltech, UCLA, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Dodgers...... It's a playground for adults and children, it's a hub for arts and entertainment, and it's a temple for culture and sports.

Duke arrived in Los Angeles on March 17 to compete in the IAAF Super Grand Prix Los Angeles on March 23.

The Chinese capital is in the East 8th Ward and Los Angeles is in the West 8th Ward, and the time difference between the Chinese capital and the US Pacific Time is 16 hours, and after flying from China to Los Angeles, the time difference is several days, so Duke arrived in Los Angeles a week early.

Within a month, Duke flew from China to Portugal, from Portugal to Nagoya, from Japan to Los Angeles, and after the Los Angeles Grand Prix, he flew directly to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the Laureus Awards.

Duke has been able to orbit the globe for a full week in a month, which is quite a hard month.

The Los Angeles Grand Prix men's event has seven individual events: 100m, 200m, 110m hurdles, 800m, pole vault, long jump, and shot put.

This race is crucial for Duke, if he can win the 100m, 200m and 800m events, he will have an easy time throughout April, otherwise he will have to fly around the world in April to earn the points he wants.

The Diamond League starts on May 9, and after mid-to-late April, it is best for Duke to stay in China to train, so he must win the men's 100m, 200m and 800m Grand Prix in Los Angeles.

After arriving in the United States, Duke was welcomed by his friends in American sports.

American swimming star Lochette posted on his personal Twitter: "Welcome to the United States of America and have a great time in Los Angeles. ”

Lochette and Doucle exchanged many times at last year's World Swimming Championships, and the two formed a friendship, and the current American swimming boss took the lead in welcoming the current Chinese swimming leader.

The United States is the world's No. 1 swimming power, and although Duke single-handedly defeated the entire U.S. men's swimming team last year, the overall swimming strength of the United States is still at No. 1 in the world.

Swimming is a popular sport in the United States, with an extremely deep mass base, swimming stars have a high reputation in the United States, and are definitely more famous than football stars of the same level, and Ronaldo is not as famous as Adrian in the United States.

Phelps is a household name in the United States, and Rocht's fame in the United States is not lost to Phelps by a few points.

Los Angeles Lakers basketball superstar Kobe Bryant wrote: "The Duke of China, the holder of 10 world swimming records and the winner of 14 gold medals at the World Swimming Championships, oh my God, I have to get his autograph!" Welcome to the City of Angels, Duke! ”

Kobe Bryant is known to be a big fan of swimming, and he's a die-hard fan of Phelps and Lochte. During the 08 Olympic Games, Kobe Bryant came to China as a member of the American Dream Eight team, and he fell in love with Pellegrini, the number one beauty of the Italian women's swimming team, saying that Pellegrini was the most perfect goddess in his mind, and wanted to know this goddess, but the goddess did not bird Kobe.

It is said that Kobe Bryant recently wanted to meet two talented girls in the American women's swimming world - Franklin and Ledecky, which shows that Kobe Bryant really loves swimming.

Needless to say, Kobe's popularity in the United States, whether it's joking or joining in the fun, he strongly followed his idol Rochette and took the initiative to fan Duke.

LeBron James, who is as famous as Kobe, was also idle, and he also posted: "If I were a judge at the Laureus Sports Academy, I would vote for the following three votes: LeBron James, Duke, abstention." ”

James was nominated for the 2013 Laureus Award for Best Male Athlete of the Year along with Doucle, and he had never met Doke, but he certainly knew there was such a competitor as Doke. The Lakers didn't make the playoffs, so Kobe Bryant had a lot of time, but James was still playing in the playoffs, and he was busy making his presence felt.

Perhaps even Duke himself did not expect that after he arrived in the United States, many American sports superstars cheered him on, and he became an Internet celebrity in the United States.

And that's not all, American film star Jack Nicholson retweeted Kobe's tweet, which made the name of the Duke of China spread rapidly in the American film industry. Nicholson is a fan of the Lakers and Kobe, as long as Nicholson is free, he will go to Stamp to watch the Lakers' games, Duke is Kobe's new idol, the idol of the idol, Nicholson will watch Duke strongly.

DP's number one star, known as the most beautiful in history. Kayden Cross, the actress of the film, is also a fan of Nicholson, posting: "The Duke is the most handsome and strongest Chinese man, and I am willing to spend the night with him at all costs." ”

Los Angeles is the film capital of the United States. The film capital of the United States, more than 70% of the United States. The films are all produced in Los Angeles studios, and industry giants such as DP, Vivid, and Private are all headquartered in Los Angeles.

On March 21, Duke traveled to Los Angeles Memorial Stadium for adaptive training.

On March 22, under the organization of Nickelodeon, Duke participated in a business event in the business center of Los Angeles, which was enthusiastically sought after by the local American masses.

After the business event, Du Ke himself was surprised: "Am I so popular in the United States? ”

"You are popular for a reason, first of all, you are working on a sport that is very popular in the United States, and Americans are very fond of swimming. Secondly, we at Nickelodeon have also spared no effort to promote a lot for you in the United States. Third, I'm also surprised, I can't see that you are quite popular in the American sports world, Lochette, Kobe, and James will actually take the initiative to promote you. The answer was Ma Jianguo, who was designated by Nickelodeon as the direct head of Duke and followed Duke from China back to his hometown in the United States.

In the United States, Nick is definitely more open than the Sports Federation, the Athletics Management Center, and the Chinese track and field team.

With Nick to escort Duke, Duke has lived a very comfortable life in Los Angeles in the past few days, he lives in top hotels and presidential suites where Hollywood A-list stars live, and goes out with bodyguards, Lincoln opens the road, Cadillac Palace, clothes to stretch out, food to open his mouth, the president of the United States is probably this kind of treatment. In the United States, sports stars appear to be more popular than presidents.

Du Ke was very happy, but also a little melancholy: "I am very happy to be recognized by the American people and all walks of life, but the American people know me because of my achievements in swimming, and I am here to participate in the track and field competition this time......."

"Track and field is actually more popular in the United States, especially sprints." Ma Jianguo took out an iPad, swiped the screen, pointed to a black athlete, and said to Du Ke: "Tomorrow's 100 meters, 200 meters, Du Ke, if you can beat him, then you will be more famous in the United States." ”

Duke looked at the black athlete on the iPad screen, nodded, and said, "Tyson Gay, the fastest man in the whole of America, another sprinter and a talent after Johnson, okay, I'll do my best." (To be continued.) )
