Chapter 221 Invite Xiaoxue to Dinner
After finishing the chat with Sistine, Lin Tian had time to read the news.
Yesterday's headline in the sports circle was undoubtedly the Lakers' 4:3 comeback against the Thunder.
Until now, there are still media reporters who are constantly creating new topics, such as:
[Westbrook accepted the interview and took the initiative to take the blame, admitting that he was not in the best state. 】
[The Thunder was reversed by the Lakers, Durant did not communicate with any teammates after the game! 】
[The rhythm of leaving the team?In the face of interviews with reporters, Durant kept silent about the contract renewal with the Thunder! 】
Lin Tian was not surprised by such news.
In fact, Durant did not renew his contract with the Thunder in advance last summer, which already shows that if he does not win the championship this season, there is a high probability that he will leave.
In two months, it is estimated that Thunder fans will burn Durant's jersey angrily.
And Durant opened a trumpet to defend himself, and it should happen this year.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying of winners and losers. It can only be said that Durant was unlucky and met them in the first round.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Lakers boarded the bus to Los Angeles on time.
Today, Howard and others are dressed in extremely trendy clothes, and they are all so happy that they are so happy. Those who don't know may think that they just won the championship.
On the contrary, Kobe has calmed down and is watching the video of the game meticulously with headphones on.
Lin Tian also took out his tablet from his backpack, ready to watch the game between the Cavaliers and the Eagles.
These two teams will play G02 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals at 30:1.
Although the Lakers want to meet the Eastern Conference team in the playoffs, they can only reach the finals, but watching the game is better than playing cards.
After the match started, the difference in strength between the two could be said to be visible to the naked eye.
The Hawks had four All-Stars last season, but the Cavs let them out like quality inspectors.
Their leading star Millsap's singles hit rate is impressive, Bazemore's efficiency is mediocre, and Horford is even more lost.
In contrast to the Cavaliers, among the Big Three this season, only James and Irving were selected as All-Stars.
But the strength of these two All-Stars is already equal to the four All-Stars of the Eagles.
Coupled with a player like Love who is basically an All-Star, the Eagles have almost no power to fight back.
In G1, the Cavaliers won without any suspense!
After watching the game in the air, the plane has also landed in Los Angeles.
When Lin Tian walked out of the hatch wearing sunglasses, he realized that there were many fans gathered at the airport.
These fans, like welcoming heroes, gave Lin Tian their warmest cheers, which made Lin Tian a little embarrassed.
After getting off the plane, Lin Tiancai found out that Kupchak even personally came to the airport to pick him up.
You know, he's an old man, and it's not easy.
Kupchak said with an old voice: "Everyone! Welcome home, as the general manager of the Lakers, I am proud of you!"
As he spoke, he hugged Kobe tightly.
Kobe said suddenly: "Jimmy must have asked you to come, am I right?"
"No, no, no! I want to come here myself! I have to come to pick you up. You have achieved the best results of the Lakers in recent years! You deserve such treatment!" Kupchak hugged the other players one by one.
When the players returned to the team training hall on the bus, Bass Jr. was there.
In the past two days, Bass Jr. is probably the happiest person in Los Angeles.
The Lakers broke into the Western Conference semifinals this time, and they can create at least two home games and derivative income.
And just ticket revenue, I am afraid it will exceed tens of millions of dollars!Because the effect of Kobe's retirement is still there.
As long as he plays one more game at home, he can earn money for one more game!
It may be difficult to make money like this in the future.
Although Kobe has always been very clear that Bass Jr. doesn't understand basketball at all, he is still very polite to Bass Jr., after all, he is the son of the old Bass.
The players didn't stay in the training hall for long, so they went back to their respective homes.
Today they return to Los Angeles, mainly to go home and rest for a day.
Because tomorrow, they will leave for San Antonio to play the Western Conference semifinals again.
The Spurs have a better record than the Lakers in the regular season, so the first two games will be played in San Antonio, which is the home court advantage.
In fact, the advantage of the home field is not only that.
If the tiebreaker is reached, it will also be held in San Antonio.
Lin Tian and the others played a total of four games in Oklahoma City when they beat the Thunder this time, but they only played three games at the Staples Center.
After chatting with Bass and others for a while, Lin Tian left.
He came to the door of his rented apartment, took out the key and was about to open the door, when Xiaoxue who lived opposite him suddenly opened the door.
Following behind Xiaoxue, there is another girl who is quite good-looking.
Seeing the dusty Lin Tian, after Xiaoxue was surprised, there was a little joy in her eyes: "Lin Tian! You're back?"
Lin Tian turned his head and nodded with a smile: "Well, but tomorrow morning, you will fly to San Antonio. Are you going out?"
Before Xiaoxue could speak, Lan Lan covered her mouth in surprise: "Wow! Is this the legendary NBA player? It's too tall!"
She had only seen Lin Tian on the computer and TV before.
Looking at it in real life now, I feel that the person standing in front of me is simply a giant.
Lin Tian smiled heartily: "My height is not too high in the NBA."
Lan Lan nodded thoughtfully, and then said as if she remembered something: "Lin Tian, you look more handsome than on TV!"
When she said these words, Lin Tian was caught off guard.
But it's normal to think about it. As players, they basically appear in the camera wearing jerseys and sweating profusely.
At most, you can have a hairstyle before the game, but when you play, your hairstyle will be messy.
When not wearing jerseys, NBA players are basically at the male model level, and with some more fashionable clothes, their appearance will definitely increase.
For example, he is now wearing a rather fashionable and casual sportswear.
He smiled at Lan Lan and nodded: "Thank you for the compliment, where are you going?"
Just as Xiaoxue was about to speak, Lan Lan answered first: "We are going to finish our meal, do you want to go together?"
At this moment, Xiaoxue tapped her toes in embarrassment, this Lan Lan would talk nonsense.
Lin Tian scratched his head: "Yes! I'll treat you."
With that said, he opened the door, put his backpack on the sofa, and walked out again.
Xiaoxue and Lan Lan panicked.
Xiaoxue did not expect that Lan Lan would ask such a question!The key is that Lin Tian also agreed, he is really a dare to ask, a dare to answer.
A little worried that this would affect Lin Tian, Xiaoxue said: "Lin Tian! We are going to eat ordinary Chinese food, will this affect you?"
Lin Tian shook his head: "Don't think too much about the diet of NBA players! We are all ordinary people, and we usually eat whatever we want."
You know, Nick Young often took hamburgers to the locker room, and Hibbert, who was still in the Lakers before, always asked Nance Jr. to buy him donuts.
With his words, Xiaoxue was instantly elated.
Lan Lan also smiled and said, "Dinner with NBA players, wow! Not bad!"
The three walked out of the apartment while chatting, Xiaoxue seemed a little reserved, but Lan Lan kept chattering.
"Lin Tian! You don't know! When you last threw that ball last night, Xiaoxue covered her eyes and dared not look! Haha!"
"Lan Lan, don't talk nonsense!"
Xiaoxue glared at Lan Lan angrily, she didn't expect that she would reveal such a thing.
Lin Tian was also a little surprised: "Thank you for your support to the Lakers."
They walked for 10 minutes and finally came to the target restaurant.
Lin Tian had never been here before. After entering the restaurant, he found that there were not many people dining in this restaurant.
Some of them recognized Lin Tian and greeted him with a smile.
Although the NBA is not considered the number one sporting event in the United States, its influence is not small. It is normal for Lin Tian to be recognized.
As this season's MVP candidate, as long as you watch the NBA this season, it's hard not to know Lin Tian.
He also found time to sign autographs for several fans before walking into one of the boxes under the leadership of the waiter.
As soon as she sat down, Lan Lan couldn't help but looked at Lin Tian with wide eyes and asked, "As a celebrity, is it tiring to be noticed?"
"No, I usually don't go out except for training and playing games, so I'm not tired."
"Then what entertainment do you usually do?"
"Let's play games with teammates once in a while."
"How is your relationship with Kobe? He is currently the most influential player in the NBA. Will it be a lot of pressure to be his teammate?"
Lan Lan asked a series of questions, which caught Lin Tian off guard.
Xiaoxue on the side already frowned, she stretched out her jade hand to cover Lan Lan's mouth, and looked at Lin Tian apologetically: "I'm sorry, Lin Tian, my girlfriend usually has a lot of mouths."
Lin Tian waved his hand to express that he didn't mind: "Is she also a reporter?"
"No, no, no! She's not a reporter! She's just a college student, and she hasn't even watched the NBA before."
Lin Tian nodded thoughtfully, and took another glass of water to drink.
Lan Lan broke Xiaoxue's hand and said solemnly: "Lin Tian! Although this is our first meeting, I have a request!"
Lin Tian didn't speak, but nunuzui signaled her to continue.
"When you meet Nick Young tomorrow, please get me an autograph!"
Lin Tian just drank the water in his stomach and almost spit it out.
It turned out that after Lan Lan asked so many questions, she had only one purpose in the end, which was to get Nick Young's autograph?
Don't want Kobe's signature, don't want Howard's signature, don't want your own signature, but you want Nick Young's?
How can he, Nick Yang Hede?
Lin Tian looked at Xiaoxue, who was also helping her forehead. Obviously, she was not surprised by Lan Lan's request.
With doubts, Lin Tian asked: "Didn't you never watch the NBA before?"
Lan Lan said solemnly: "I have been crazily supplementing NBA knowledge in the past few days, and I also know the story behind Nick Young. I really like him."
"Okay! Nick Young's autograph, right? I'll get it for you!"
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome, we're all friends."
Hearing the word "friend", Xiaoxue at the side was delighted in her heart.
Lan Lan suddenly said, "Since we are all friends, can you give me a ticket to the Los Angeles home game?"
Lin Tian felt ashamed.
Los Angeles home tickets, the earliest is the Lakers VS Spurs G3, the tickets went on sale in the early morning of yesterday, and they were sold out in just a few seconds.
The nba often has players' family members watching games on the spot, but usually they also need to buy tickets.
Now the tickets for the Lakers, even the stands far away on the top of the mountain, are ridiculously expensive, the key is that they can't be bought yet.
Lin Tian was about to speak, but Lan Lan was already ahead of her and said, "Haha! I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, it's normal for friends to joke around, right?"
Xiaoxue sighed: "Lan Lan, you should be quiet first, I feel that if you continue to talk like this, we and Lin Tian should be friends."
Hearing this, Lin Tian couldn't help laughing.
He found that Lan Lan's personality was quite similar to Nick Young's, they were both carefree, no wonder she was a fan of Nick Young.
This dinner went very happily. What Lin Tian said a few days ago did not add up to so much today.
It is indeed a good experience to have dinner with Xiaoxue and Lanlan in a foreign country.
After returning home, he couldn't wait to turn on the TV to watch the Warriors game.
Whether it is the Warriors or the Cavaliers, because they swept their opponents in the first round, they will play the second round of G1 a few days earlier than the Lakers.
It was a game without suspense from start to finish, and the Warriors slammed their opponent, the Blazers.
The final score between the two sides was 125:100. The Blazers' double-gun firepower was okay, but the gap between the Blazers' defense and the Warriors was too great.
After Lin Tian came back from time travel, he knew that the Warriors had already locked in the Western Conference Finals in advance, which was naturally not surprising.
He is more concerned about the Warriors' formation and tactics.
This team has created a three-point whirlwind in the league, but it has achieved the ultimate defense. People have to admire Cole as a talented coach.
For such a team, it is difficult to make people feel that they will lose the championship this season.
It was already twelve o'clock in the evening after watching the football game, and he felt drowsy. When he turned on his phone, he found a message from Sistine.
Sistine: Why didn't you come to see me tonight?How about a good meeting?
Lin Tian patted himself on the head. He had dinner with Xiaoxue and Lan Lan tonight, completely forgetting the promise with Sistine.
Lin Tian: Sorry, I'm too busy today!Haven't turned on the phone until now.
Sistine: Well, the only way to see you again is at the Staples Center in a few days. Come on.
Lin Tian: Don't worry!We will try to win the game!
The considerate Sistine didn't seem to think much, and Lin Tian also heaved a sigh of relief.
After reassuring the phone, he quickly fell asleep.
……
the next morning.
"What? You asked me for an autograph? Did you make a mistake?"
On the Lakers plane, Nick Young looked at Lin Tian and opened his mouth in surprise.
"I didn't ask you for it! It was a friend of mine." Lin Tian shook his head helplessly.
"Haha! I just said that I am the most attractive in our team! You still don't believe it! Look! Lin! If I guessed correctly, your friend is a woman, right?"
