Li Yang looked at Karen Inia in front of him in surprise, unable to connect with the figure in his memory at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Karen Inia and Li Yang were neighbors when they were children, and they stayed together almost every day until they were ten years old, because they were both mixed-race, Karen Inia had French and Latino blood in her, plus they were neighbors, and the two had a very good relationship when they were at school.
It's just that at that time, Karen Inia was a thin little girl who was often bullied, and Li Yang, who was tall, would often teach those black people who bullied each other.
It wasn't until Li Yang was ten years old that Karen Inia followed her parents to France, and Li Yang also began to learn basketball, and the two never saw each other again, which is why Li Yang thought about it for so long before remembering.
And the change in the other party is too great, Karen Inia at that time was thin and short, although she can be said to be ugly, but it is too ordinary, and she is not conspicuous in the crowd at all.
But looking at it now, it is difficult for Li Yang to associate the thin little girl in his memory with the beautiful girl in front of him.
A beautiful face, charming eyes, a sweet smile, and a tall and sexy body...... Is this the legendary eighteen changes of the female university?
Karen Inia was not angry at Li Yang's eyes when she looked at her, on the contrary, she looked very happy until Li Yang spoke.
"Karen, you've changed just too much. ”
"Compared to when I was a child, I've changed a little bit. Listening to Li Yang's emotion, Karen Inia laughed again, stared at Li Yang and said, "But you don't seem to have changed much, it's just taller, and I still have to raise my head to be able to see your face." ”
After Karen Inia finished speaking, both of them laughed, when she was a child, Li Yang often used her height to tease Karen Inya, and now, although Karen Inya said that she is about 1.8 meters tall, she is still more than 20 centimeters shorter than Li Yang.
"Karen, we have to go, or the plane will be late. At this time, in the direction that Karen Inia had just walked over, a girl shouted in this direction.
"Okay, Lucy, right away. Karen Inia replied to the other party while saying to Li Yang with a regretful face: "Yang, I really want to have a good chat with you, but I have to go to the airport right away......"
"It's okay, Karen, there's going to be a chance later. ”
As soon as Li Yang's words fell, Karen Inia immediately said: "Yes, there will be many opportunities in the future, and we finally meet again, this is really amazing." ”
"Tell me your number and I'll get back to you. Karen Inia took out her mobile phone and dialed Li Yang's phone, then reluctantly said goodbye to Li Yang, and did not forget to turn around and say when she left: "Goodbye, Yang, remember to save my number"
"Goodbye, Karen, I will. ”
Li Yang watched Karen Inia out of the hotel, turned around, and found that the Spurs players had all gathered around him at this time.
"Hey, Yang, very beautiful girl. ”
"Los Angeles is a city full of sexual encounters. ”
"Yang, remember to save my phone number. ”
Li Yang looked over, and the Spurs players suddenly opened their mouths, and when they heard their shouts, Li Yang spread his hands and said, "My former neighbor, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”
"Oh, it's okay, there will be a chance later. Danny Green shouted immediately after hearing this, and this is exactly what Li Yang said to Karen Inia before.
"I think we're the best place to go and get ready for tonight's game, right, Tim?" asked Duncan as he wanted to change the subject.
"No, we're ready!" Li Yang wanted to find a step down Duncan's body, but he didn't expect Duncan to directly throw out such a sentence, which made Li Yang want to roll his eyes.
"I've got to go to the hotel first, damn it, I haven't gotten used to this flying life until now. ”
Li Yang also understood at this time, staying here was the object of ridicule by this group of people, and left in a hurry after dropping this sentence, as for the laughter that came from behind, he didn't want to pay attention to it anymore.
..................
Staples Arena, which is shared by the Lakers and Clippers, but for the most part, because the Lakers have such a glorious history, when people think of Staples Arena, people think of the Lakers instead of the Clippers.
In the past, it used to happen that the Lakers were full and the Clippers had a lot of poor attendance, but in the past two years, this situation has improved slightly.
The appearance of Blake Griffin, the white monster who is powerful in dunking, and Paul's record improved in trade, the Clippers fans have gradually increased.
This season, the Clippers' record has stabilized in the third to fifth place in the West, which is better than the Lakers with Kobe, Nash, Gasol, and Howard.
At this time, the Spurs are in the away locker room at Staples Arena, where they need to complete their pre-game set-up before the players go back to the court to warm up.
For this game, the Spurs have also made some preparations, and the first thing they need to do now is to confirm the starting lineup.
Because Kawhi Leonard was rested by Popovich, the Spurs needed to pick one man from the bench to the starting lineup, and Popovich was talking about it.
"Today, our starting lineup is Thiem, Thiago, Danny, Toney......" Popovich paused slightly after saying the names of Duncan, Split, Green and Parker before continuing: "Young!"
"Huh?" Li Yang, who was standing on the periphery, opened his mouth in surprise when he heard Popovich's last word, wondering if he had heard it wrong, but after seeing his teammates turn their heads to look at him, he finally realized that he had not heard it wrong.
Although he knew that he heard it right, Li Yang was still surprised enough, he never expected that the team would choose to start with himself after letting Leonard stay in San Toonio.
Although it is not surprising that everyone starts in the Spurs, because Popovich's use of players has become more and more changeable this season, didn't Parker let De Colo start after the rest in the last game, but when this really happened to him, Li Yang was surprised and delighted.
Before coming here, Li Yang originally guessed that Popovich would arrange Neil or Jackson to start this game, because Popovich had always arranged this way during Leonard's injury before.
Although the Spurs players are also starting to adapt to Popovich's style of employment, there are many surprises at this time, such as Stephen Jackson.
Leonard is resting, in Jackson's view, whether it is ability or seniority, he is one of the best choices to start, but no, Popovich did not arrange him to start, but arranged Li Yang.
Even if Popovich arranges Gary Neil, Jackson will feel better, after all, Neal has been a starter in the first two seasons, but now it is Li Yang who is arranged.
Jackson's face turned unusually ugly, and he realized that his relationship with Popovich was getting stiffer.
However, Jackson really wronged Popovich this time, and the old man really didn't arrange Li Yang to stimulate him for this reason, and the Spurs rotated Leonard, a large part of the reason was to let Li Yang have more opportunities to play in this game, so that the Spurs coaching staff could observe Li Yang more carefully.
Of course, these things are only known to the members of the Spurs coaching staff, so they are the least surprised.
At this time, Popovich was surprised by Li Yang or Jackson, and took out the tactical board and began to make tactical arrangements for the next game.
Li Yang, who was stimulated by this news, also immediately reined in his mind and listened carefully, as a starter, Popovich's tactical arrangement at this time must be clearly mastered.
