Chapter 12: The Washington Emperor
Early this morning, Li Chuanfeng, how many of them let Hall? Yang sent a few of them to the train station, they had to make a train to the airport and then to Washington, after all the way they arrived at Washington Airport in the evening, after getting off the plane, they first found a hotel to stay, Clark's friends couldn't come today because of something, today Li Chuanfeng and a few of them got together for one night.
However, after arriving in Washington, Li Chuanfeng felt that he was no less than the Golden State, and there were many stories in Washington: Washington, the full name of Washington, D.C., was to commemorate George, the founding father of the United States? Named after Washington and Christopher Columbus, who discovered the New World of America. Washington is administratively governed by the federal government and does not belong to any state. Washington is located at the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia rivers between Maryland and Virginia. The urban area is 178 square kilometers, and the total area of the special zone is 6,094 square kilometers, with a population of about 600,000. Washington was a thicket area with only a few cottages scattered around. In 1789, the U.S. federal government was formally established. Washington was elected as the first president. When Congress convened its first session in New York, there was a heated debate over the location of the capital, with both North and South legislators wanting to locate the capital within their own borders. Congress finally reached a compromise and President Washington chose the area on the Potomac River, which is a natural dividing line between the north and the south, 16 kilometers long and wide, as the address of the capital, and asked the French engineer Pierre? Shire? Lang Fang presided over the master planning and design of the capital. The new capital had not yet been built, and Washington died in 1799. In his honor, the new capital was named Washington when it was completed the following year. Washington is the political center of the United States, home to the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court, and most government agencies. The Capitol was built on the highest point in the city known as "Capitol Hill," and it is a symbol of Washington. The cream-colored building has a domed main arm and interconnected east and west wings, where both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives are located. The White House is a white marble rotunda that has been the office and residence of successive U.S. presidents since Washington. The oval-shaped office of the President of the United States is located in the West Wing of the White House, and outside the south window is the famous "Rose Garden". The South Lawn to the south of the main White House building is the "President's Garden," where U.S. presidents often hold ceremonies to welcome dignitaries. Between the Capitol and the White House is the "Federal Triangle" complex, which includes federal government agencies as well as the National Gallery of Art, the National Archives, the Pan American Union, the Smithsonian National Museum, and the Federal Reserve Building. The largest building in Washington is the Pentagon, home to the U.S. Department of Defense, on the banks of the Potomac River. The World War II Memorial is located between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., and is built to commemorate the American soldiers who served during World War II. There are many monumental buildings in Washington. Not far from the Capitol is the 169-meter-tall Washington Monument, all made of white marble, and the elevator to the top offers a panoramic view of the city. The Jefferson Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial are also famous monuments in the United States.
Washington is also one of the cultural centers of the United States. The city has Georgetown, George? 9 colleges and universities in Washington, D.C. and so on. Founded in 1800, the Library of Congress is a world-renowned cultural facility, and the Washington Opera House, the National Symphony Orchestra, and the Kennedy Center are among the most famous cultural institutions in the United States. Washington is also home to many famous museums such as the National Museum of American Art, the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Astronautics, and many others. The emblem of Washington looks like an eagle spreading its wings, with the Washington Monument in the foreground and Capitol Hill and the Potomac River in the foreground. The city tree is the American oak, the city flower is the chrysanthemum, the city bird is the red-tailed finch, and the city song is "Young Hometown Washington"
Li Chuanfeng and a few of them will naturally not let go of such a scene when they arrive here, several of them are the first time to come to such a place, and a few of them went shopping in the evening, but they also felt very bored and returned to the hotel early, and after a few of them returned to the room, they had a small meeting to discuss tomorrow's affairs about the emperor, and how they played this emperor basketball team. It's just that such a meeting has no real meaning, and the point is that they don't have any information about the emperor's team.
Li Chuanfeng and the others slept depressed that night, but the arrival of a person soon explained the doubts in their hearts, and this person was Clark's friend in Washington.
At about seven o'clock in the morning, Li Chuanfeng and the others were having breakfast, but at this time, a man named Carl? The people of Wolfgang found them, Li Chuanfeng saw that this person named Wolfgang was wearing a pair of glasses, and his height was about 180, after this person inquired about Li Chuanfeng and a few of them, the waiter took him to the table where Li Chuanfeng and a few of them were eating, Li Chuanfeng looked at this person and soon he introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Carl?" Wolfgang is from Germany and is a friend of Clark's, and I was not in Washington after receiving Clark's phone call yesterday, so I was not able to receive you yesterday, and I forgive you a few of you, and today you can meet the Washington Imperials. ”
"Oh, thank you, my name is Li Chuanfeng, they are all my brothers, we are here together, and we are going to challenge the Imperial Basketball Team, but I don't know what characteristics they have, can you tell us about it?" Li Chuanfeng asked.
The question asked by Li Chuanfeng was naturally the most worrying question for He Chuan and Guo Feng, who did not have any information.
"Hehe, you guys are really good!" Wolfgang said with a smile
Li Chuanfeng and the others looked at Wolfgang very suspiciously, and when Wolfgang saw Li Chuanfeng and the others, he said: "You want to know each other's strength, but what's the use of knowing?" They don't know what kind of players you are. ”
"We have a saying in China that we know ourselves and know our opponents to win all battles, and of course we must understand the strength of the opponent before the game, so that we can have the certainty of winning."
After hearing Li Chuanfeng's words, Wolfgang nodded and said that what he said was reasonable, it turns out that people in the East are so modest!
"Well, since you want to know, I'll tell you a few of the Washington Kings basketball team is a very old team, and there are only six people on the team who are the smallest and most powerful team in the American street basketball team, and they have Smith? Johnson is the captain of the Emperor, 181 tall is a Caucasians, and the second is Williams? Brown, he is the vice captain of the Imperial team, and he is 183 tall and is a black man, so the Imperial basketball team has the title of these two and played to the third position, but he was not able to defeat the Ice Spirit team and then was killed by the Speeders They fell to the fourth position, but their strength is considered by the outside world to be the same as the Speeders, because there are many Speeders, and the remaining four Emperors are Jones? Miller, Davis? Garcia, Rodrigo? Wilson and Martinez? Anderson just hasn't made a few of them taller than 208, and it seems that the tallest is Martinez? Anderson, with a height of 205cm, is the tallest player on the team. ”
Li Chuanfeng and the others heard Wolfgang's introduction to the Imperial Basketball Team, and they also had a preliminary understanding of the Imperial Basketball Team.
"Mr. Wolfgang please find the Imperial Basketball Team, we have a game against them tonight." Li Chuanfeng said.
"Don't you know the current conditions?" Wolfgang asked
"Conditions?" Li Chuanfeng and the others all looked at Wolfgang suspiciously.
When Wolfgang saw the appearance of a few of them, he knew that these were some rookies, but he still had to say: "You can play in street basketball if you want to!" It's not that simple, the price of the Imperial basketball team is at least $5,000 to $10,000."
"So much money!" Li Chuanfeng and the others all looked at Wolfgang in surprise, but they didn't have so much money on them, if they did this, it would be troublesome, and they wouldn't be able to play a few games in the future, and they would have no money.
"Senior, we don't have so much money, can you lend us a few, and we will have the money to pay you back in the future!" Li Chuanfeng said.
"You don't have to worry about this, Clark told me when I came, and I will cushion the money for you to help you with this competition, and you can prepare for the night game!" Wolfgang said that Wolfgang left the hotel after saying the question, and he told Li Chuanfeng that he was going to ask Johnson for a challenge.
Li Chuanfeng saw the departing figure of Wolfgang, gritted his teeth and said, "This is really fucking too expensive." ”
