Chapter Thirty-Seven: All-Star Weekend
When he got off the plane and went to the VIP box to wait for the special car, Li Guanyu was sharp-eyed, and when he was still outside the door, he saw an old acquaintance - Jessica Alba.
Li Guanyu just wanted to say hello, but when he thought of the two female stars next to him who had been pretending to be in his ears for a long time. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he still decided to hold on to the 'hi'. With his head down, he cautiously walked between Dwight Howard and Michael Beasley, trying not to let Jessica Elson find out.
But it seems that the more careful you are, the more counterproductive it becomes.
"Hey, Lee, Super-Lee!"
The familiar voice caught up in his ears, Li Guanyu could not avoid it, so he could only turn his head and slowly 'slide' his body out of the middle of the two giants, Michael Beasley and Dwight Howard, squeezed out a smile and waved his hand to Jessica Alba, and said, "Hi, you are here too!" β
Before the words fell, Dwight Howard and Michael Beasley projected their 'ill-intentioned' eyes - hehe, are you going to perform 'hooking female star**' again?
"yes, I'm here to see the All-Star Game, can you be my guide?" Jessica Alba quickly walked over and said, nodding to Michael Beasley and Dwight Howard and Jamil Nelson.
The small action instantly made the three of them feel relaxed and happy - it really deserves to be the first beauty in the United States! At the same time, I also have a little more admiration for Li Guanyu in my heart - if this guy can have a loving heart, I really don't know how many women he can can, and it is very possible to surpass Chamberlain.
Compared with the relaxed and happy hearts of the three of them, Li Guanyu was obviously a little 'cow chewing peonies', only to see him shake his head and reply: "Guide? I'm not familiar with Phoenix, and it's my first All-Star Game. β
Yes, Li Guanyu turned down the opportunity that thousands of men asked for. Now, Li Guanyu is basically disillusioned with the beauties of the American Empire - even the innocent and lovely Selena Gomez can turn into the queen of electric whips, and who knows what Jessica Alba, the number one beauty in the United States, will become?
As soon as Li Guanyu's voice fell, before Jessica Alba could answer, Dwight Howard hurriedly said: "It's okay, Lee, you're not familiar with Phoenix, I'm familiar with it!" If you have any questions, you can call me, and I am always available. β
Don't look at Dwight Howard, who is five big and three thick, and his mind is really delicate - his trick is called casting a long line to catch a big fish. He knew that it would be difficult for him to beat Li Guanyu, but it would be good to have a good relationship with Jessica Albara. After all, she is a person in the entertainment industry, and she may introduce herself to a beautiful female star one day.
"Thank you so much." Jessica Alba hurriedly thanked Dwight Howard.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Dwight Howard hurriedly waved his hand.
Seeing this, Li Guanyu had no reason to refuse, so he could only nod and promise: "Okay." β
yeahοΌ
Jessica Alba saw Li Guanyu nodding, and hurriedly waved her fist slightly.
"Lee, what's your mobile phone number? I'll contact you tomorrow. β
β15073***596γβ
β15073***596β¦ Well... Okay, I'll call you then. Jessica Alba put in her mobile phone number, waved goodbye to the three of them, and walked to the exit.
As soon as Jessica Alba went out, her assistant whispered, "You waited here for three hours just to wait for him?" β
"Huh!" Jessica Alba sneered, seemingly unanswered, but actually answered - didn't you see her holding her phone like a treasure?
At the same time, Dwight Howard and Michael Beasley once again made fun of Li Guanyu.
Michael Beasley pinched his throat and said 'Jessica Alba' to Dwight Howard and asked, "Lee, can you be my guide?" β
Dwight Howard changed his previous laughter, adjusted his expression to be as serious as Li Guanyu, and replied, "Guide? What guide? β
"The path to your heart, I am strange, can you be my guide?"
"I can't."
"Why, why, why, why? I've broken up with my fiancΓ© for you, you're too ruthless, you're too ruthless, you're so ruthless............" Michael Beasley pounded his chest and clenched his throat and cried, like a shrew.
Michael's brain-dead Beasley made a 'two' offense, which is equivalent to a hooligan who knows martial arts - no one can stop it.
Seeing this, Li Guanyu shook his head and walked to the side helplessly, standing with this goods, it was too embarrassing.
After about 20 minutes, the car sent by the All-Star Game officials finally arrived. The four of them got in the car and went straight to the hotel officially designated by the alliance, and after the three of them registered, they couldn't wait to go to the 'field investigation' of Phoenix's nightlife. Li Guanyu stayed in the hotel honestly, and when he walked up to the elevator with his bag, he actually 'coincidentally' met' Jessica Alba again.
"Hey, Lee, do you live here too?" Jessica Alba asked, surprised.
Li Guanyu was also surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, she wondered - didn't she see such a big All-Star Game banner outside the door?
"yes!"
"I live in the presidential suite on the top floor." Jessica Alba introduced herself and sent a dinner invitation to Li Guanyu: "Let's have dinner together in the evening!" β
"I'm so sleepy right now, my eyes can't hold it anymore." Li Guanyu lied, in fact, as long as he had a shot, he could do it for three days and three nights without sleeping.
"Oh, that's not bothering, we'll call again tomorrow."
As soon as the words fell, the elevator stopped suddenly, and the entire elevator was dark.
Ah~ Jessica Alba screamed, and then Li Guanyu only felt that he was being held by the waist, very tight, so tight that his ribs could feel the warmth of two majestic balls.
"Is the elevator out of order?" Li Guanyu muttered softly, he didn't want to stay in a confined space for too long, especially a confined space where lonely men and widows were alone.
"I'm scared!" Jessica Alba whispered, trembling all over, rubbing her chest back and forth on Li Guanyu's ribs, and then her hands actually wrapped her arms around Li Guanyu's neck.
Perhaps out of an innate desire to protect, Li Guanyu subconsciously stretched out his hand and gently patted Jessica Alba's back twice, and whispered like a child: "It's okay, it'll be over in a while." β
Scold!
As soon as Li Guanyu's words fell, the elevator slammed, and then the lights turned on. The light suddenly turned on, Li Guanyu hurriedly let go of his arm, while Jessica Alba was slightly sluggish for half a moment.
After the close knitting of the two separated, the atmosphere in the elevator became very awkward, and they were speechless.
For!
In the long silence, the elevator door finally opened, and Li Guanyu looked up and saw that it was the 9th floor. So he hurriedly waved goodbye to Jessica Alba, and then walked quickly to room 969 with his bag............ Back in the room, Li Guanyu immediately locked the door upside down. Then lie down on the bed and fall asleep without a match.
Early the next morning, Li Guanyu's mobile phone rang, and when he opened it, he saw an unfamiliar call.
Pressing the answer button, Jessica Alba's voice came over - Lee, where are we going today?
"Uh... Today? I may not be able to go with you today, but in the morning I will attend the official roundtable press conference hosted by the league. I'm going to train in the afternoon and I'm going to play in the evening. It's a full trip. β
"Let's go together, I haven't been to your roundtable press conference yet, it must be fun."
"But... Doesn't that affect you? Li Guanyu asked suspiciously.
"No, it won't." Jessica Alba's voice was very firm.
"Alright then!" Li Guanyu could only agree, although it was a little reluctant.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ οΌοΌοΌβ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ When Jessica Alba appeared in the roundtable press conference hall with Li Guanyu's arm, her eyes didn't attract her. As soon as Li Guanyu sat down, his round table immediately attracted more than seventy or eighty media outlets. As for the top pick, Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, and Tanhualang OJ Mayo, there are very few at the table.
In this regard, Derrick Rose and OJ Mayo expressed envy, jealousy and hatred - why does a second-round show have such a big pomp? Isn't it just a female star? I'm going to beat you up in the league another day.
Completely different from the two, Michael Beasley's two goods came over excitedly, obviously he threw away his identity as a showman, and at this moment, he was the 'onlookers'.
"Lee, are you dating Jessica?" Immediately, a reporter asked them what they were most concerned about.
"Guess?" Jessica Alba's smile is like a flower, very ambiguous.
Just when the reporters started to think about it, Li Guanyu forcibly cut off their meaning - no, we are a very pure boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.
Li Guanyu's basin of cold water immediately made Jessica Alba's bright smile freeze slightly, but she was used to seeing the sidelines and still responded quickly: "We are really just ordinary friends now, let's focus on basketball." β
Who can be a journalist who is not a human spirit? Listening to Jessica Alba's words, I naturally understand the delicate relationship between the two now-hey, the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless!
At the same time, almost everyone will feel a little envy and jealousy of Li Guanyu's 'woman's popularity' in their hearts - but how can this Li Guanyu be able to attract the favor of so many female stars. What's even more annoying is that this guy doesn't seem to like to take care of those female stars very much, what's better about him, isn't he just a little more handsome and a little longer in that regard?
With envy, jealousy and hatred, it will naturally be difficult, only to see a black reporter who was so ugly that he wanted to abandon his mother stood up and asked: "Lee, there have been Sharapova, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Kim Kardashian, Katherine McPhee, and Vanessa have had an affair with you this season." And almost all of you refuse, whether it's because you don't think you're worthy of them, or if you think too highly of yourself. β
"It's your business." Li Guanyu directly replied coldly: "This is the place to talk about basketball." β
was hit back by Li Guanyu like this, and suddenly the black reporter was furious, but he had nothing to say, because it seemed that it really wasn't his business.
"Miss Jessica Alba. This is the quality of the man next to you, you can do it yourself! After the black ugly man gave advice to Jessica Alba, he walked quickly away from Li Guanyu's round table.
"Thank you for the reminder, I think his quality is good." Jessica Alba's chases out makes the black ugly guy even more angry - why does this guy make my dream girl, hand/silver object so nice to him.
After the small storm is over, the press conference will continue.
"Lee, the first year hasn't won since the golden generation. Do you think you can win tonight? β
"Of course, I think the rookies of the class of 2008 are much better than the class of 2007, even though they claim to be ahead of the golden generation." Li Guanyu replied with great certainty.
"Aren't you afraid that Kevin Durant will kick you in the ass tomorrow night?"
"Kick my ass? Give him ten dares, and you ask him if he remembers how Crazy-Lee taught him to play basketball. Li Guanyu smiled - is the little hemp pole of the year also a leader now?
As soon as the reporter heard this, he immediately gave Li Guanyu a trap: "So, are you holding the chance to win?" β
After hearing this, Li Guanyu stepped into the 'set' laid by the reporter without hesitation, and replied categorically: "Of course! β
"Then do you have the confidence to take the MVP?" The reporters continued to 'set', and they couldn't wait to see Li Guanyu's expression after the failure.
"I don't want to take it, I'm going to give this MVP to Michael, and I'm going to win the All-Star Game MVP." Li Guanyu is as arrogant as ever, which makes the reporters very happy, because the more arrogant Li Guanyu is, the more slaps he will have to endure after failure. What could be more spurring sales, ratings, than a slap in the face?
For the sake of sales and ratings, the reporter continued to play: "So, do you think you will definitely be able to get the All-Star MVP?" β
"Definitely? If Coach Rivers can give me 35 minutes of playing time, then I can. Li Guanyu smiled and provoked Rivers in the air.
Next, the reporters asked some other questions such as the ownership of the regular season MVP, but Li Guanyu is no longer 'arrogant' and quite conservative.
He's not stupid enough to say to reporters, 'I'm going to get the regular season MVP,' or 'Miami is going to win the championship,' and that's something that Dampier and the like do."
After the roundtable press conference, Li Guanyu took Jessica Alba to have lunch, and then went separately - Jessica Alba was a woman who was always a little uncomfortable to watch a group of big men train.
When I came to the training camp, I found that there was already a group of people in the training camp over there - after all, they were eating together, and Li Guanyu was taking Jessica Alba to eat outside, so they were naturally faster than the two.
"Hey, our big star is here, everyone is welcome." oj Mayo said sourly.
After Li Guanyu heard this, although he was a little unhappy, he was not angry, half joking and half serious: "Where can I compare to you, Mr. OJ Mayo, you must know that you were a genius with a national reputation three years earlier." It's you after LeBron James. β
Li Guanyu's words are not malicious, but to OJ Mayo, it seems full of irony - is it a mockery of my current downfall? If it weren't for you, I'd be the one who is sunbathing in Miami right now! Now that I'm surrounded by beautiful celebrities, am I going to be relegated to the damn country of Memphis to fight for the right to fight with a bunch of damn guys?
Well, he still thinks that the reason why Pat Riley didn't choose him without the list is because of Li Guanyu's relationship, not his own black gold case.
"Hey, Super-Lee, let's go it alone!" Although Derrick Rose was a little sullen and had an opinion on Li Guanyu, at least this honest boy would not come to Yin, what he wanted was to directly blow Li Guanyu out of a bad breath in the encounter.
"Civil war? I won't play with you today, but tomorrow in the Skills Challenge, let's fight again to see who can win the championship. Li Guanyu hurriedly refused, he didn't want to fight with Derrick Rose, after all, he still had to play at night - Kyogen had already been released, wouldn't it become a laughing stock like Eric Dampier if he didn't win.
"Good!" Derek Rose didn't say anything more and hurriedly agreed.
After changing his clothes and training for a while, head coach Dwyanwade finally came running over and laid out the tactics for tonight - our tactics for tonight are to let ourselves score more points and let the enemy score less.
Nonsense. Immediately made the audience laugh, such a simple tactic is indeed suitable for the All-Star Game.
After training, Dwyanwade pulled Li Guanyu aside and asked in a low voice, "I heard that before you played the Orlando Magic, you wet the whole sheet of Miley Sellers' little girl?" β
"Uh......" Li Guanyu struggled for a long time, and finally nodded: "There is such a thing." β
"Have you taken your medicine?" Dwyanwade asked a similar question to Spoelstra.
"Not really." Li Guanyu shook his head firmly - this is the biggest slander against a man.
"So powerful?" Dwyanwade was stunned, but quickly covered up his gaffe with bold words: "I can do it when I'm in good shape." β
"Oh!" Li Guanyu nodded hurriedly, he didn't doubt Dwyanwade's combat effectiveness.
"The team has won three out of four games recently. You're doing a great job. Dwyanwade patted Li Guanyu on the shoulder, and said the word 'second master' extremely seriously, as if emphasizing something.
After Li Guanyu heard this, he inevitably struggled a little in his heart, Li Guanyu didn't like the word 'two', everyone knew that the first person to go to the moon was Armstrong, but what about the second? And how many people know?
After a moment of silence, Li Guanyu replied: "It's good if the team is good." β
There was no positive response to the term 'second master'.
Seeing this, Dwyanwade thought that Li Guanyu had acquiesced, so he asked another question with a smile: "How long are you going to play tonight?" β
"Forty minutes." Li Guanyu smiled slightly and stretched out four fingers: "Mr. Head Coach, I can swing in three positions, let me play the whole game!" β
"Okay, then I'll make good use of my power this time."
"Haha!"
The two laughed, although the two already had a knot, it did not affect the friendship, in fact, it was difficult for the two to tear their faces to fight for something on the table. At least Li Guanyu is difficult to do, he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ οΌοΌοΌβ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ At seven o'clock in the evening, the first- and second-year players went to the Suns' home court to warm up almost at the same time, and during the warm-up, Li Guanyu and Kevin Durant chatted.
"Crazy, are you still crazy tonight?" Kevin Durant asked with some fear, he was not less abused in high school, but he was thinner than he is now.
Li Guanyu smiled slightly after hearing this, and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" β
"Look, your die-hard fans are there." Kevin Durant pointed at Jessica Alba on the sidelines and said, "Help me introduce a few female stars another day?" β
"Forget it, just scratching your surname, I can't introduce you to you." Li Guanyu shook his head, his impression of the current Thunder King, he was still stuck on the little hemp pole back then.
"Huh!" Kevin Durant touched his little head and laughed.
"I'm booked for tonight's victory, you don't have an opinion!"
"Yes!" Kevin Durant replied stubbornly this time.
"Hey, you dare to argue with me." Li Guanyu was surprised.
Kevin Durant had a serious expression and said to Li Guanyu very seriously: "I am no longer the person I used to be. β
"But in my eyes, you are still the 'weak' little hemp pole back then." Li Guanyu was also very serious and said, "So, I want to win you, but I can still win you." β
"Then let's have a fight tonight!"
"Come on! I look forward to your challenge. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦&&&β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ At half past seven in the evening, the Phoenix Suns home was crowded.
Drip! The whistle blew and the game officially began.
Syllable! Greg Oden, a relegator, beat Al Horford and sent the basketball to Li Guanyu, who took the basketball and immediately controlled the rhythm and slowly dribbled to the front court.
At this time, the first-year lineup was Li Guanyu, Derrick Rose, OJ Mayo, Michael Beasley, Greg Oden, and the head coach was Dwyane Wade. And the sophomore is Aaron Brooks, Rodney Starkey, Kevin Durant, brother-in-law Green, Al Horford, and the head coach is Dwight Howard.
In addition, what makes Li Guanyu a little headache is that tonight's commentator is LeBron James, and his partners are Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.
came to the frontcourt, because Aaron Brooks couldn't guard Li Guanyu at all, plus there was no defense in the All-Star Game. So Li Guanyu drove straight in, broke through the inside line to attract the bag, and then distributed the basketball to the old champion Greg Oden.
Bang! Despite his minimally invasive surgery, Greg Oden is still an unstoppable beast.
"Little hemp stick, the game is on." Li Guanyu hooked his finger at Durant and announced the official start of the competition.
