Chapter 084: Tommy and Jamie
Cleveland Quick Loan Center Arena, this small arena in Ohio is rarely lively today, for no other reason, the pride of the city - the 23rd little emperor James's sworn enemy is coming, and with him is his purple and gold team.
The league has a total of 7 games scheduled today, among which the Lakers and Cavaliers are particularly eye-catching, as the two most popular basketball players in recent years, every meeting between 23 and 24 has countless topics.
"Jamie, hurry up! I washed the bowls for a month to earn tickets, and if you miss it, I'll kill you! At the entrance of the stadium, a little boy was yelling at his friend, his young face was full of excitement, and from his words, it could be heard that this ticket did not come easily.
Slowly following him was probably his friend, who could be seen to be the same as the young boy who had spoken of Jamie, the two were about the same age, but it was clear that Jamie was not very interested in this game.
"What's the hurry, Tommy, there's still 20 minutes, no one will grab your seat, I don't know what's so good about a basketball game! How nice it is to take this time to sleep at home and watch TV! The little boy became a little sleepy as he spoke, and even stretched out his waist and yawned.
Ouch! Jamie sat on the ground with his butt, he was a little dizzy, and when he ran past him in a hurry, he seemed to have grazed him, and the unstable little Jamie naturally fell to the ground under the sudden collision.
Li Chen was very depressed, this was the first time he came to Cleveland, because of curiosity, he said hello to the coach and went out to hang out alone, but after a few casual turns, he found that there really didn't seem to be anything interesting here, so he was a little bored and simply found a café to sit down.
But when he came out, he found a very tragic thing, falling asleep in the café was only secondary, the key was that he was lost. Of the two options, walking back or taking a taxi back, he decisively chose the latter. But a small place is a small place, of course, it may also be a problem of poor character, after waiting tangled for half an hour, he decided to run back more practically.
With inquiries all the way, he was really touched back to the stadium, but the time seemed a little wrong, at this time most of the fans had already entered the stadium and sat down, and he, the player, was still hanging outside.
Seeing from a distance that the staff of the Lakers seemed to be busy looking for something, Li Chen clearly knew who they were looking for, no way, no one thought that forgetting to bring their mobile phones when they went out, getting lost and not being able to get a taxi would happen to one person at the same time, and the staff who had no clue could only use the most primitive manpower to find it.
With a little guilt in his heart, Li Chen couldn't help but speed up his pace, just when he was about to surpass a child, the other party's suddenly stretched out hands made people dodge without hurrying, although they only rubbed a little, but considering the difference in figure between the two, the little boy fell to the ground without hesitation.
"Hey, bad luck!" Li Chen complained secretly, in his opinion, today is a sad day that will stuff his teeth when he drinks cold water. Turning his head back to pick up the child he had hit and patting the dirt on his body, Li Chen asked with a guilty face, "I'm sorry!" Did it hurt somewhere? ”
"Ass!" Jamie muttered, although the other party's tone was relatively gentle, but the strong figure still made him swallow back some of the words that came to his mouth, and Jamie felt that it was a good strategy to sell cuteness to win the sympathy of the other party.
"Jamie, what's wrong, are you okay?" Tommy sees his friend fall and quickly runs over to investigate the situation.
"It's okay, Tommy, I just got knocked over by this gentleman, it's just that my ass hurts a little." Jamie slowly got up from the ground, rubbed his buttocks, and jumped twice on the spot, and it was obvious that he was fine.
Li Chen saw that the other party still had friends, so he quickly breathed a sigh of relief, and said apologetically to a little boy in the back, "Your name is Tommy, right?" I accidentally bumped into your friend, and I bothered you to keep an eye on him, if he has any problems, you can call me. As he spoke, he picked up a stone and wrote his name and phone number on the ground, "Remember to erase the number after writing it down, I still have something to do, go first!" I'm sorry! ”
Seeing that the other party had walked away, Jamie, who thought he was safe, instantly changed his face, "It's really unlucky!" Don't you know how to slow down, run so quickly to find death," he said, turning his head to Tommy, "I think his ticket may have been earned after two months of washing the bowls, and looking at his anxious look, it's like he can't start without a game!" ”
Tommy has long been familiar with his friend's character, and although Jamie says that he is a big man and can bend and stretch, Tommy prefers to think of this as a typical bullying and fear of the hard. Not bothering to pay attention to his complaints, Tommy grabbed Jamie's hand, "Let's go, look at you like that, it's okay, if you don't hurry, it's really too late." As he spoke, he stretched out his foot and tried to erase the personal information left by Li Chen.
Jamie grabbed Tommy's foot, "Don't, let me write down his number, and when I go back, I'll call him every day to make harassing phone calls, and I'm really a bully if I don't speak!" ”
Tommy couldn't understand his friend's thoughts at all, but it wasn't a big deal anyway, so he simply followed Jamie's temperament, "Hurry up and write it down, and then hurry up!" ”
Uh-huh! Jamie agreed again and again, squatted down again and again to check the information left by Li Chen, and when he saw the other party's name, little Jamie suddenly couldn't hold back his laughter. "Wowhaha, Tommy, look, his name is Cruze, isn't this a Chevrolet car, could it be that his father works at Chevrolet? Cruze Lee, why not call it Chevrolet Lee! ”
Tommy knew that his friend's laughter was not a day or two, in order to satisfy the other party's vanity, he laughed twice, but he found out that something was wrong with the smile and laughter, why the name is a little familiar. To make sure he heard correctly, he asked Jamie, "You say his name is Cruz Lee?" ”
Jamie thought Tommy's laugh was as low as his, and he was so happy that he was playing with Treasure, "No, he's called Chevrolet Lee now!" Seeing that he was so tragic, I decided not to trouble him! ”
This time, Tommy hugged his friend's leg, "What are you doing, don't erase it, he's Cruz Lee!" ”
Jamie was very angry, why didn't he cooperate at all, "Said he's Chevrolet Lee!" ”
Tommy was too lazy to bird the other party, he took out a piece of paper out of nowhere, carefully wrote down the number left by Li Chen, and couldn't stop snickering.
Jamie was curious about his friend's strange behavior, "What's the matter, you want to make a harassing call, haven't you always found it boring?" ”
Tommy glanced at Jamie with disdain, the other party's ignorance made him a little helpless, he was not in a hurry at this time, and patiently explained to Jamie, "His name is Cruz Lee!" The star player of the New York Lakers, the MVP of the rookie game, and the three-point king of this year's All-Star, his nickname is the Big Apple! Why do you think I remember his number? ”
Seeing that Jamie seemed to be stupefied by the other party's series of names, Tommy added especially funny, "You just said it right, the game really can't miss him, Jamie, you are so lucky, you were hit by the Big Apple, and let him leave his phone number, well done!" ”
Jamie seemed to think of something, "The Big Apple!" You're saying he's an All-Star, the one who shoots 42 threes, the one who sings with Taylor, and oh my God, he's my sister's idol, and if you give him that number, she's going to trade it with me for a month's TV channel option. Wow haha, this month's TV is mine! ”
Apparently Tommy disapproves of his friend's suggestion, and he knocks Jamie on the head, "You've been hit stupid, aren't you, selling it to your sister?" I promise Cruz will change her number the next day when your sister is annoyed, we should change the way. Tommy said mysteriously, and with his immature face, Jamie was very excited, and he was eager to know what idea the other party had come up with.
"Another way? What do you mean? ”
Tommy tried his best to satisfy his friend's curiosity, and he said with a smug face, "Didn't he say that he would call him if something happened, and I could see that he was not a brute person, and when the time came, we would call him out and say that we wanted to meet the Lakers stars up close, and he would definitely agree because of guilt." ”
Jamie was very unimpressed by his friend's opinion, and co-authoring it didn't do him any good at all, so he immediately refused, "Phew, no, what's in it for me, I don't like basketball, and getting to know them up close is far less valuable to me than a month of TV freedom!" ”
Tommy looked at Jamie who couldn't turn his head in hatred, "Can you be a little more stupid, don't you know to ask Cruze for an autographed photo, I think your sister will definitely be happy to exchange it with you!" You can even take a solo photo with Cruz, and then lie to your sister that you have a good relationship with him, and I promise that your sister will definitely do everything possible to please you in the future, isn't it just a month of TV freedom, hum! ”
Jamie thought about it, and he flickered. "Yes, haha, then I'll be absolutely free from now on, I'm going to take Cruz's autograph photo and smash that bad woman to death, and then, is there any plan?" was led out of the beginning by Tommy, and Jamie really didn't want to let go of this good opportunity easily.
Tommy's big eyes flickered, he looked at the confused little Jamie with bad intentions, and said very ambiguously, "It's up to you next, Jamie!" ”
I don't know what the other party meant, especially Tommy's eyes made me very disgusting, little Jamie hesitated slightly, "What's the matter with me?" Don't count on me, I can't think of any good ideas, otherwise, so be it, don't think about the next steps, if I can do what I said before, I'm already satisfied! ”
"No way!" Tommy didn't want to waste this opportunity, he tried his best to please Jamie, "Honey, you just have to be cute then, isn't that what you usually do best!" ”
"Get out!" Jamie scolded his friend angrily, and at the same time tightly covered a certain part of his body with one hand, he was very aggrieved, "You are so disgusting, I really regret knowing you, why don't you go by yourself!" ”
"Where do you want to go?" Tommy felt wronged, "You're disgusting, I just want you to be cute, and then try to get the signed photos of all the Lakers players, including all the coaches, and then we will take this set to the school to sell, and someone will definitely buy it!" , should be worth a lot of money! ”
Little Jamie cut off disdainfully, he understood, it turned out that Tommy wanted to let him sell cute and cheating photos and then sell them for money, he felt deeply insulted and immediately quit, "I'm not bad for money, you go by yourself!" Even if it's a lot of money, it's a pity that money doesn't appeal to me! ”
Tommy's rejection made Tommy feel sorry, indeed, Jamie's family is very good, and he has always had a lot of pocket money, and he has never seen him run out of money, and it is stupid enough to use money to attract him to his heart. However, the unwilling Tommy soon thought of another trick, and had to admit that under the temptation of interests, people's brains tend to be more bright.
"Not only about the money, but you think, if the people in the school knew that we got a full set of signed photos of the Lakers, then we would be famous, they would definitely think that we had a good relationship with a big star, and then no one would dare to bully us again! Tracy will look the other way at you, too! ”
As if this wasn't enough, Tommy also slapped Jamie hard, "The reason why I don't go, isn't it because you look cute, I will definitely disgust them if I go to pretend to be cute, let alone all the signed photos at that time, it is estimated that even Cruze will not be able to do it alone, then your one-month TV freedom will also be blown up!" ”
Although there is a suspicion of flattery, most of them are also true, Jamie is indeed very likable, and even Tommy is a little jealous, and it is precisely for this reason that little Jamie, who is a little introverted, is often bullied by others at school.
Tommy's sycophant slapped Jamie secretly, and he said very stinkyly, "That's right, it's rare for you to tell the truth." He carefully considered Tommy's suggestion, and finally, he could not resist the temptation, "Well, I promise you, you are right, Tracy will definitely look the other way at me." ”
Tracy in their mouth is little Jamie's neighbor, classmate and tablemate, and Jamie has a crush on the little girl when he first sees each other, but the other party has never given him a good look.
"Then it's decided!" Tommy was very happy, and he felt that he would definitely make back several tickets this time.
"Eh", little Jamie said weakly, he pointed to the big screen outside the arena and said, "I want to say, the game has begun, you look at the big screen!" ”
Tommy turned his head in surprise, and sure enough, the players on both sides had already entered the court and were about to jump the ball, and the person who had just hit Jamie Jr. was wearing the Lakers' No. 0 jersey at this time, and the Big Apple was the starting small front today.
Ah, Tommy exclaimed, he didn't even bother to care about his friends, he pulled up his legs and ran to the arena, "Jamie, you made me late, I'm going to kill you when the game is over!" ”
