264 Sports Illustrated cover

Although Wen Hao had a headache about going to the owl restaurant, he couldn't help it, after all, Yu Song had already made an appointment to be there, so he couldn't refuse.

After going out, Wen Hao took a car, and it took less than ten minutes to arrive at the door of the owl restaurant. After getting out of the car, he casually glanced at the owl restaurant, and Wen Hao was stunned for a moment. I saw that on the wall of the owl meal, there were large posters of the Rockets players, and the person standing at the front was not Harden, nor Howard, but himself.

The poster shows himself wearing a mask, soaring into the air and flying towards the basket. And at his feet, he is an unknown player. However, although the man's face is a little blurry, judging from the body shape and jersey number, it is undoubtedly Gerrard? Green.

And next to it is written in English: City Hero - The Buckle of the End of the World!

Wen Hao was surprised for a moment, touched his head, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am really tough." ”

At this time, a voice came from behind: "Of course, you don't know, I was watching the game at the Owl Bar, and it was silent for five seconds, and then everyone celebrated wildly, and everyone was crazy because of your doomsday button." ”

"Really?" Wen Hao said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go in first, there may be surprises later." Yu Song said.

Wen Hao didn't ask much, and walked towards the owl restaurant with Yu Song.

As soon as they entered, the guests, waiters, and chefs in the restaurant turned their heads to look, and after a few moments, everyone cheered, and the roof of the entire owl restaurant was about to be torn off.

Wen Hao was taken aback. Generally speaking, Americans do not chase stars like Chinese, and they will leave some private space for celebrities. There are many times when even if you meet a celebrity on the street, the most you can do is say hello. A player like Wen Hao, who has just risen, is even less cheered. I didn't expect so many people here today to stand up and cheer for themselves, which really flattered Wen Hao.

In the cheers of the people, before Wen Hao could move, the owl girls invited Wen Hao in, vacated a table by the window, and invited Wen Hao and Yu Song to sit down.

A blonde owl girl with a hot surname said to Wen Hao: "If you want to eat, just order, our manager has already said that you can eat here for free." ”

Wen Hao had already expected this, nodded to the girl, and said, "Well, we're still waiting for someone now, let's order it later." But let's have two beers first. ”

In fact, Wen Hao rarely drinks alcohol, and he needs his head to be clear at all times. But today, when I was interested, I ordered a glass of beer for myself and Yu Song.

After a short time, the owl girl brought the beer and said, "Please slow down." ”

Wen Hao heard this crisp and pleasant voice, looked up, and saw that the girl was none other than Elena.

When Wen Hao saw this, he was immediately a little distracted, and hurriedly said, "Elena, what's the matter...... It's you. ”

Elena smiled charmingly and said, "Of course it's me, otherwise who else?" ”

Wen Hao knew that Elena had something to say, so he didn't dare to say more.

Seeing that Wen Hao didn't speak again, Elena showed a slight disappointment in her eyes, and said, "When the guests you are waiting for come, ask me to order food." ”

Wen Hao only said "um" and stopped talking. He doesn't think much about romance and love now, and all his thoughts are spent on basketball. The Rockets have a lot of momentum this year and have a good chance of hitting the championship. He can't be distracted by these things.

After Elena left, Yu Song looked at Elena's back and said to Wen Hao, "Wen Hao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wen Hao hurriedly raised his head and said, "No...... Not really. ”

"I think you seem to be a little unnatural," Speaking of this, Yu Song Yinye smiled and approached Wen Hao, "Tell me honestly, do you have a leg with that girl?" ”

"Get out of ......," Wen Hao scolded.

Yu Song said: "Actually, if you don't say it, I also know, weren't you a hero here before to save Mei and save her?" It seems that she is very interesting to you, anyway, you don't have a girlfriend yet, I think that girl is also very good, why don't you just follow her? ”

Wen Hao didn't care about Yu Song's joke, and Zhengse said: "How can I have this mind now, I just want to win the championship." ”

"Understood." Yu Song made a clear look, "Then let's talk about it later." But such a beautiful girl, but there are many people chasing her, so don't regret being robbed when the time comes. ”

"You just do your own thing, you don't eat much, you can manage a lot of things." Wen Hao glanced at Yu Song.

Yu Song didn't reply to Wen Hao, but stood up and said behind Wen Hao's back: "Editor-in-chief Edward, you have finally arrived." ”

Wen Hao turned his head and saw a little old man who was over half a hundred years old, with silver hair and a kind eyebrow, standing behind him, looking at him with a smile, and said, "Wen Hao, I finally saw you in person." ”

Wen Hao got up, shook hands with Editor-in-Chief Edward, and smiled calmly: "Hello, Editor-in-Chief Edward." ”

Edward sat down and said to Wen Hao: "I am the editor-in-chief of the basketball team of Sports Illustrated, just call me Edward." ”

Wen Hao smiled and said, "Edward, I want to discuss with you, you see that I will start training again tomorrow, and the matter of shooting the cover, can you push it back and wait until the playoffs are over?" I just don't have time. ”

Edward smiled and listened to Wen Hao's words, and then said unhurriedly: "The cover is already there." ”

"Got it?" Wen Hao asked in surprise.

Edward took out a picture at this point: "Don't you think this is the best cover?" ”

When Wen Hao and Yu Song saw that photo, they immediately looked at each other and smiled: "Edward is right, that is the best photo." ”

The photo is nothing else, the same as the one on the wall of the owl restaurant, and it is also Wen Hao's apocalyptic buckle. That is the best cover photo in every way.

Edward continued: "Years from now, this shot will definitely become an NBA classic. Wen Hao, you are the maker of history, if I am not mistaken, it will not be long before you will become the king of the NBA, like James and Durant. With absolute dominance, it will shock all opponents. ”

Although Wen Hao is used to people's praise, he still doesn't dare to accept Edward's high evaluation: "You are too awarded." ”

Edward shook his head: "You Chinese are too modest, let's watch, one day, you will reach such heights." This is my experience of more than 30 years, and I can't be wrong. ”

Wen Hao did not continue to be modest, and he was also yearning in his heart, hoping that he could reach such a height as soon as possible.

Edward seemed to remember something at this time, and continued: "Our magazine has researched it, and we have a plan to make a series cover for you. ”

"Series covers?" Wen Hao was surprised, and Yu Song was even more surprised.

"That's right, it's the set cover. Since the birth of Sports Illustrated, no player has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated twice in a row, not even Michael and LBJ. But this year, you've had too much of an impact on people as you grew up, especially in the series against the Suns, and you've even outperformed your All-Star performance and evolved into a superstar. ”

"Oh." Wen Hao only said such a word, but he was very surprised in his heart, it seems that he is really strong.

"But our plan is still in the conceptual stage, and we plan to do it, but it depends on your performance. If you're going to be as good as this one in a future series, we'll pick one of the best photos from each series and use them as a cover for several issues in a row. In other words, until the Rockets' playoff journey is over, you'll be the star of each issue. ”

"Shhhhhh I don't think Wen Hao's current achievements have reached that level. You said that even Jordan and James have not been on the cover of "Sports Illustrated" twice in a row, but Wen Hao may have been on the cover several times in a row, which is also too exaggerated. ”

Edward shook his head: "It's not an exaggeration at all. It is undeniable that Wen Hao has not reached that level yet, but there is a reason. I'll tell you the truth, as you know, the current NBA president is a strong advocate of developing the Chinese market, and for this, he even took a Chinese name - Xiao Hua. Therefore, in terms of the promotion of Chinese players, he is of course very supportive. When he heard that we were going to take a cover photo of Wen Hao, he contacted us and asked us to do our best to make more articles on you, so there was a plan for this series of covers. ”

Wen Hao and Yu Song breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. This makes sense, otherwise although Wen Hao performed extremely well before, he is far from reaching the height of making "Sports Illustrated" shoot covers for him continuously. It's also scary.

However, Edward immediately said: "But you don't have to be disappointed, with Wen Hao's ability and potential, one day, he will prove to people that he is fully qualified to let Sports Illustrated shoot a series cover for him, and I am optimistic about Wen Hao." ”

Wen Hao said: "Well, I will definitely work hard." ”

After talking about business, the three of them ate something. Actually, I didn't eat much. Truth be told, the food at the Owl Restaurant isn't very tasty, it's just edible. The reason why the Owl Restaurant is so popular is because of its atmosphere, which provides a place for fans to meet.

Coupled with the dress of the owl girls with a sense of surname and the hot performance, it attracted countless male customers, which made the owl restaurant famous all over the world.

After eating, he said goodbye to Edward, and Wen Hao walked quickly to his residence under Elena's reluctant gaze.

What he talked about today really made him feel a lot more relaxed, and next, he was going to prepare for the second round against the Lakers. (To be continued.) )
