The Pacers are heading into the final road game of their three-straight road trip, and the day after the Mavericks, the Pacers are heading to Houston, the city of space in the United States.

The collision between the Indiana Pacers and the Houston Rockets has attracted much attention in the Great Celestial Empire. Because this is a collision between two top Chinese stars in the NBA.

Before Li Cheng, it was enough for everyone to be happy that China could have a world-class player in the NBA, but now China has two top players in the NBA. And when these two players collide, it can naturally attract everyone's attention.

As early as three days before this game, Celestial Empire 5 made a feature film for this game. The name of this feature film is "Mars Collides with Earth, the Top Chinese Derby!" ”

Since the Chinese team won the Olympic Games, basketball has set off a huge wave of craze in China.

The emergence of Li Cheng proves that China can have the world's top defenders, but it has not been discovered. Therefore, after the Olympics, the activity of bringing basketball into the school finally began to make a breakthrough in action.

The first is the addition of basketball to the sports high school entrance examination, and the other is a nationwide basketball game for all ages.

The basketball craze set off in the Great Celestial Empire directly led to the collision of the Pacers and Rockets, China's top superstars, and received a lot of attention. According to expert estimates, the tournament will have more than 300 million viewers worldwide.

At this time, Li Cheng and Yao Ming were eating and chatting in the box of Yao Restaurant.

"As soon as you come back this season, your watch is really ferocious." Yao Ming said: "How do you maintain your condition?" What's the secret? ”

"Actually, it's nothing! I've always had a habit of putting my heart and soul into whatever I do. I don't think about anything when I'm playing, I just think about how to put the ball in the basket or how to help my teammates get the ball in the basket. Li Cheng took a sip of red wine and said.

In fact, the "top of the basketball system" should also have a certain impact on Li Cheng's condition, but his own personal good habits are also very important.

Yao Ming nodded. To be honest, he has a little admiration for Li Cheng. Li Cheng works hard in the United States alone, he is not an athlete trained by the country, he relies on his own strength. At the same time, Yao Ming was a little envious of Li Cheng, because he was not an athlete trained by the country, so he had little to do with the country, and he had enough freedom of his own.

This time, Li Cheng and Yao Ming chatted for a long time. The last time Li Cheng and Yao Ming were not so familiar with each other, through the run-in of the Guò Olympics, Li Cheng and Yao Ming have become very good friends.

When it was time to go for the last. Yao Ming sent Li Cheng to the door of Yao's restaurant. Li Cheng looked back at the huge signboard of Yao Restaurant and sighed, "It's really a good thing to have such a restaurant. ”

Yao Ming pointed to the arena in the restaurant and said, "When the game is played tomorrow, it will be full of fans watching the game, which is very lively." Then he said, "Didn't you say you were going to open one last time?" Go back and think about it? ”

"Hmmm! I'll talk to Osborne and ask him to help me find a place. ”

Yao Ming saw Li Cheng's serious appearance and said, "After your restaurant opens, there will definitely be media saying that we are coming to the United States to do catering." Ha ha! ”

Li Cheng said with a smile: "Maybe you can make more money from catering than from playing basketball!" ”

"Haha!" Yao Ming said: "After drinking some wine, I won't send you, be careful when you go back." ”

Li Cheng stopped a taxi and said goodbye to Yao Ming, where Li Cheng wanted to listen to music by himself. Unexpectedly, I met a chatty driver.

"Hey! Man, are you friends with Yao? The young black driver was the first to speak.

Li Cheng sat in the back seat and replied, "Yes! He's my friend. ”

"I can be a fan of Yao Ming! I also have Yao Ming's signed jersey at home. It's still an old Rockets jersey, and that's my treasure. The driver seemed to be showing off his wealth in front of Li Cheng.

Li Cheng smiled and said, "There should be many people in Houston who like Yao Ming very much!" ”

"That's for sure!" The driver cheerfully said, "Man, you speak English so well!" In the past two years, you Chinese have been doing awesome in the NBA! That kid from Indiana is even more powerful than Yao. He single-handedly defeated the entire U.S. team. ”

Hearing that the driver actually mentioned himself, Li Cheng also became interested and asked, "What do you think of that kid from Indiana?" ”

"Hey! Buddy. I'll tell you the truth, if that kid were in Houston, I'd be his number one fan. ”

"Why?"

"The main thing is that his personality is more of an appetite for me, and I also like his upbringing."

"How's his personality?"

"You and Yao Ming are friends, you can ask Yao Ming to introduce him to you, and you can find out for yourself." There was a hint of envy in the driver's tone. "He has the traditional introverted and modest Chinese, but he also has a kind of rebellion, a stubbornness that does not admit defeat, which is my favorite. And I love watching him play, but there's probably no way he's going to come to Houston. At this point, the driver was a little depressed again.

Hearing the driver's words, Li Cheng felt very comfortable, and then he said: "The Rockets will play against the Pacers tonight, will you go to watch it?" ”

The driver paused for a moment and said in great frustration: "I really want to see it, but the tickets for this game are too expensive, and even the farthest tickets are sold for $200......"

Li Cheng could feel the driver's loss, and he decided to help the fan who was a taxi driver.

At this time, Li Cheng was thinking, but the driver said, "Man, what are you thinking!" It's here. ”

Li Cheng came back to his senses, took out a hundred dollars and handed it over, and said, "No need to look for it." At the same time, he said, "You wait for me here, I'll give you something, you must wait for me." ”

The driver was puzzled, and he said, "Your man's business is very good now, don't keep me waiting." ”

"10 minutes." After Li Cheng finished speaking, he got out of the car and walked into the hotel where the walker was staying.

The Pacers set off from Dallas at half past eight this morning, and they arrived in Houston at ten o'clock, and then Yao Ming took Li Cheng directly to Yao's restaurant. It's almost half past one and the same, and the team is going to gather for the University of Houston for pregame shooting practice.

As soon as he walked into the hotel lobby, Granger waved his hand to Li Cheng and said, "Hey! You kid didn't see anyone last night, and you disappeared for so long in Houston today, are you a ghost? ”

Li Cheng was a little anxious, he took Granger's stubble, and said, "Where is Stergen?" ”

"Over there." Granger fingered.

Li Cheng walked directly in the direction pointed by Granger, "John, do you still have tickets for tonight?" ”

Stegan glanced at Li Cheng suspiciously, and said, "There should be 4 of them, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Cheng stretched out his hand directly and said, "Give it to me!" ”

"You didn't say it a long time ago, I called earlier and said that there were too many tickets for these four balls, let them sell them, you are here again, I'll call and ask." Stegan said as he pulled out his phone.

Listening to what Stegan said, Li Cheng knew that there was no problem, and his mood calmed down a little.

Hanging up the phone, Stegen's expression was a little not good-looking, he took out four tickets from his bag, and said, "You kid will release it early next time you have a fart, and I will be sprayed." ”

"It's a lot of meat, it's fine." Li Cheng took the ticket and turned around and ran.

Stegen looked at Li Cheng's back and muttered a few curses.

Li Cheng ran out of the hotel, and when he saw the driver looking at him a little anxiously, he breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most worried about was that the driver would leave.

Li Cheng always wore a pair of sunglasses on his face, and the driver didn't recognize it before, but this time he saw Li Cheng by himself, and then saw the pedestrian bus listening to him, and he suddenly thought of it.

"Could it be that the guest I pulled before is Li Cheng?!" The driver thought a little excitedly.

At this time, Li Cheng had already walked to the front of the taxi, and the driver opened the door a little excitedly and walked out.

"I didn't expect the person I talked about all the way to sit in my car. It was such a magical day, thank God! ”

Li Cheng smiled, and then took out the ticket, "Take your family to the Toyota Center tonight to watch a game!" ”

Looking at the ticket handed over by Li Cheng, the driver stayed where he was.

"This ......"

Li Cheng smiled: "Take it!" I'll give you my shirt when the evening is over. ”

The driver was so moved that he didn't know what to say, and Belu Williams, who had never found it difficult to speak, didn't know how to speak for the first time.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He said these two words in succession and repeatedly.

Li Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go quickly!" Don't forget, this is the best time for business. ”

"Sir, my name is Belu Williams, thank you." Belu said sincerely.

Li Cheng smiled, waved his hand, and left.

Belu took the ticket, wiped the corners of his eyes, and muttered: "The ball is played well, the person is handsome, and the heart is good...... He's such a perfect player. ”

Seeing Li Cheng leave, Beilu returned to the car and started the car, and then slowly left. Maybe...... In the course of his life, this day will be unforgettable for him.

Back in the hotel lobby, Stegan and Granger gathered around, "What did you just do?" It can't be a girl in Houston! Once this man is handsome, he becomes very animalistic. ”

Li Cheng didn't pay attention to the two of them at all, gave them both a roll of their eyes, and then walked towards the bus outside the hotel with his things.

Stegan and Granger glanced at each other and nodded in agreement, "It's definitely some pretty girl!" (To be continued......)
