Chapter Ninety-Five: First Meeting of Allen-Iverson
Alice pointed at Yu Yang and said, "This is my friend, who is at work on the first day today." So, I've given him to you, so that he understands some basics, Jones, and I don't think you will refuse me. There's no reason for you to refuse me, right? After saying that, a woman called Alice, and Alice patted Jones's arm, and then said, "Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner another day." With that, Alice walked over.
Jones seemed to have something to say, but when he saw that Alice had left, he swallowed back the words that had not yet been spoken, and then he turned his head to look at Alice's yellow man standing in front of him, who had already left. He held out his hand and shook hands and said, "Hey, yellow man, hello, my name is Terrick Jones, and of course, you see it, Alice's friend." What's your name? ”
Yu Yang stretched out his hand to hold Jones' hand and said, "My name is Yu Yang, and I am Chinese." Hello! ”
Jones nodded, then looked at Yu Yang in surprise and said, "Chinese, it turned out to be Chinese!" So how did you meet Alice? ”
Yu Yang told Jones about his stay at her house, and Jones nodded: "So that's the case, okay, look, people are coming." Gotta work, man. ”
Yu Yang nodded, then looked out the door, and there were many people walking outside. It was all very formally dressed people, all dressed in suits, black and white, a lot. It seems that the people who have chartered this place have come, and Yu Yang and Jones have come to the counter to learn some basic common sense work.
And so Yu Yang started his new job in the United States, which seemed really noisy, with constant singing, and noise coming all the time, and that kind of American song always going up and down. Yu Yang didn't like it very much, but he couldn't help himself, and after working for a long time, he gradually got used to it.
On November 14, Beijing time, Yu Yang met Iverson for the first time............
In the blink of an eye, Yu Yang has been working here for more than a week. He goes in and out with Alice every day, and he knows that Alice is a goddess in the hearts of these colleagues. Because Alice is the singer of this bar, they are very envious of Yu Yang being able to be with Alice every day. Some of them also reminded Yu Yang that he felt in danger in this place.
His job is simple, to deliver some juice and food that guests need. This kind of work is almost impossible to study, so he works easily.
On this day, Alice and Yu Yang came to the bar together, and Yu Yang asked, "Alice, there is something I have always wanted to ask you." ”
Alice said, "Ask, what's the matter?" Isn't the job bad? ”
Yu Yang shook his head and said, "No, what I want to ask is, why haven't I seen Allen Iverson after I've been here for a week?" ”
"Aaron? Hehe, he just comes sometimes, you take a good look. Maybe he'll come tonight, Aaron is drinking alone. Lately he's been a lot more low-key, often alone. Alice said.
Yu Yang: "Oh! Nodding his head, he smiled and said, "Well, I hope to see him tonight." ”
Alice said; "Well, good luck then, work hard, and your second salary will be paid in two days. Don't make any mistakes. "It's a weekly payroll, and it's a good pay. Yu Yang had already received his first salary, $700, which was more than 4,000 yuan converted into RMB.
Yu Yang said: "Okay, no problem. Go get busy! Alice nodded, then walked to the dressing room.
Yu Yang patted his chest and said, "I hope I can see Iverson tonight, God bless!" He closed his eyes and pleaded with Jesus, looking a little superstitious.
Work started, and there were more and more people, and there were a lot of dancing, drinking, and chatting tonight. Yu Yang came and went with one plate after another, and he never forgot to look for hope, although it seemed unlikely, he never gave up.
At this time, Jones shouted to Yu Yang: "Yu, come here, there is a guest there who wants five bottles of this wine and send it over." Jones pointed to a black man sitting in a corner, wearing a hat and a black coat. He was sitting alone on the couch, smoking a cigarette in his hand, and he couldn't see that he was in a good mood.
Yu Yang nodded, then took five bottles of beer, and on the table in front of the man, Yu Yang put the wine down. Yu Yang turned his head and glanced at the man, oh my God, this really scared him. I think Yu Yang's expression in this scene is the most exaggerated, he grew his mouth and pointed at the black man in front of him, and his hand kept shaking.
The black man saw the change in Yu Yang, he frowned, and then raised his hat slightly. This look finally knew the reason for the change in Yu Yang's expression, it turned out that this person was none other than the Alan Iverson that Yu Yang dreamed of seeing every night. He looked at Yu Yang with a confused expression and said, "Hey, hey, man, what's wrong with you?" ”
Iverson's words were full of magnetism, and instead of sounding as domineering as before, they became a little sad. Yu Yang was pulled back by his words, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "Are you really Allen Iverson?" Saying that, Yu Yang looked at this face full of vicissitudes, this was the first time he met an idol face-to-face. Iverson's body is relatively thin, and it looks a little similar to Yu Yang, and his tattoo is very obvious, yes, on the back of his hand. and the loyal character on the neck is also looming.
He had a beard on his face, and he was wearing a coat that matched the Catholic he had seen on television. There are also many small moles on the face, which look so familiar despite wearing a hat. What made him different from on TV was that his gaze had changed, and this time Iverson, who had seen Yu Yang in person, had become haggard and old, and wrinkles had taken up a part of his face.
Yu Yang stared at him stupidly, and suddenly Iverson was a little uncomfortable, and he whispered, "Hey, what are you doing here?" Am I that good-looking? If you remember to express my embarrassment, yes, I'm depraved, but you don't look at me like that, just ask if you have anything to ask. ”
Yu Yang came back to his senses, and he hurriedly explained: "No, no, you are mistaken, I am not a boring reporter. Honestly, I'm your idol, basketball idol, really, I especially love you playing. I am Chinese, I watch your videos every day, and I think your spirit is more worthy of our learning than your basketball skills. ”
Iverson frowned, then asked, "It's good not to be a reporter, by the way, spirit, you say my spirit?" Is it? ”
Yu Yang nodded and said, "Yes, you are the spiritual idol of countless of us in China. There are a lot of people who like you to play and get up when you fall. You'll never give up, I love it, really. I still remember seeing you say the words: I don't know what will happen in the next moment, but I'm sure this is my life.
I am not a great man, a morally innocent man, a well-dressed man, nor am I an obedient son, a dutiful father, a kind husband, a good friend, or even a good man at all. **, guns, violence, boycotts, these troubles are all related to my name, and many people say that I am deviant...... But no one can deny that I am a great player, not even God.
I don't want to be Michael Jordan, I don't want to be "Magic" Johnson, I don't want to be "Big Bird" Bird or Isaiah Thomas. I just want to look in the mirror at the end of my career and say to myself with a clear conscience that I'm still the same Aaron Iverson. I remember a lot of what you said, really, I'm a fan of yours. ”
