Chapter 240 That Basketball
As soon as the loose coffee was in his hand, before his butt touched the chair, a tall figure appeared across the road.
How tall is it? Tim took a sip of his coffee, squinted his eyes, and began to look up and down the people. This is his favorite thing to do. As the center of Los Angeles, Staples has all kinds of people passing by every day. In his 22 years, he couldn't remember how many people he had met.
Based on the eyesight that Tim has cultivated for so many years in front of Staples, it is easy to predict that he is definitely more than 215 centimeters. Even Bynum, who is now the highest height of the Los Angeles Lakers, should not be as tall as him.
And handsome.
The visitor is very young, with strong legs and feet. He is wearing a dark woolen coat. You don't need to look carefully to know that it is very expensive. His black hair hangs down on his forehead but does not look messy. Even though he is wearing a mask, it is still not difficult to see the mask There should be a good appearance under the cover.
Don't worry about Tim's eyesight. In the past 22 years, besides sports stars, he has also seen many Hollywood stars who come here. Tim can tell who is really good-looking at a glance, and he has almost never drilled his eyes.
So he could easily tell that the person who came was most likely someone who had been in Hollywood or the sports circle.
The only exception is the basketball in his hand. It is so worn out that even the leather is worn out. It is so dark that you can't even tell if it is a ball from a distance. This is incompatible with his overall temperament. , like garbage picked up from the ground.
"Could it be that rich people still have such a quirk...like picking up trash?" Tim complained silently in his heart.
But at this moment, the visitor had already walked in front of his booth, squatted halfway in front of the booth, pulled off half of the mask, and said to him with a smile:
"Boss, here's a copy of today's sports newspaper."
"Ah! Ah!"
"Oh, okay, right there, one...one...one dollar." Tim was shocked by this face, his eyesight was really good, the person who came was really handsome, and it would be no problem to go to Hollywood next door, but The important thing is that he has seen this face countless times in newspapers!
Stand left!
The super rookies of the Knicks and even the entire NBA league, in less than 30 games, have achieved a reputation that others cannot achieve in a lifetime.
Just led his team to the top of the league after 38 years, and was hailed by ESPN and many other media as the supernova with the most potential in the next ten years.
Why is he here!
At this moment, Tim thought that he was not in Staples in Los Angeles, but Madison in New York.
"Okay, thank you, uncle!" The visitor put down a dollar knife, picked up a copy of Sports Illustrated, and began to watch it.
"Here, young man, sit here and watch." Tim handed his bench to Zuo Li.
"Ah, thank you uncle." Zuo Li was not polite, he was indeed a little tired after sitting on the plane all night.
Tim wiped the sweat off his forehead. It's really rare to meet a star early in the morning, so is he here for a vacation?
Didn't he check in just to come to Staples? Didn't he just come here?
But before I had time to think about it, the business came one by one.
Today’s business is obviously better, probably because of the holidays. Many fans came here early in the morning to check in, buy a newspaper, buy a breakfast on the street, and eat while watching. A good day begins with basketball news .
After selling dozens of copies over there, Zuo Li finally finished reading the newspaper, and at this time Aomei, who went to buy breakfast at the breakfast shop opposite, also came back with a fresh breakfast.
"Let's go!" Zuo Li took the breakfast with a smile, and then said goodbye to Tim with his arm in his arms:
"Goodbye uncle, thank you for your stool."
"Ah, you're welcome, welcome to come back later." Tim waved his hand.
Two high school students came together and passed by Zuo Li. He was wearing Nike Adidas on his feet, and the dreadlocked ball uniform was standard. He looked like a basketball player.
The two came to the booth and also bought a newspaper, which was full of news about Zuo Li and the Knicks, almost occupying the entire front page.
"Tsk, the Knicks are a bit unbelievable recently."
"Indeed, it's really boring and boring to be able to become the first in the league."
"But this year's championship still belongs to the Lakers, and the Knicks are still too young."
"I agree, but Zuo Li is still very good, he plays, so handsome!"
"Hey, hey, you won't rebel!"
"What's the change? Zuo Li was the king of streetball before. I've been a fan of him for a long time. It's like his shoes, otherwise I would have worn them out."
"Hey, AND1 is dead. It's all supported by Zuo Li. It's probably time to leave in two years. Don't worry."
"But speaking of which, I really want to watch Zuo Li play live. It was too expensive before, and the tickets were simply unaffordable."
"Hey, lore, 50+, I wish I could have this day in the future."
...
"Hehehe, the star you miss so much, but just passed by you just now, but Zuo Li is really too famous, fans in Los Angeles have fallen, tsk tsk tsk, terrible newcomer." Tim will leave the rest I drank my coffee and looked at the billboard on the side, which was a preview of the Christmas game. The heads of Kobe and Garnett were very conspicuous.
Yes, who would have thought that New York, oh no, it should be the hottest star in the United States in recent days will come to Los Angeles before the Christmas game.
What was even more unexpected was that the purpose of his coming here was not for a vacation at all, nor was it for the opening of a new studio. Those were all incidental. His main purpose of coming here was the ball in his hand.
Before the goat left, Zuo Li left the basketball and a letter, which Zuo Li kept very well for so many years. The letter mentioned the agreement between him and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and handed over the agreement to Zuo Li.
This time, Zuo Li is here to visit Abdul-Jabbar!
Yes, taking advantage of the offseason, Zuo Li still hasn't forgotten to improve himself. In his eyes, he only keeps getting stronger.
"It's time to update again!" Tim lay on the chair, squinting his eyes, the sky was getting bluer and bluer.
...
The camera zoomed out, Zuo Li sent Aomei back home, although Aomei wanted to go with Zuo Li, but Aomei who flew all night did not have such strong energy as Zuo Li, so the two agreed to have a safe night together night.
After leaving Omei's mansion, Zuo Li called someone.
"Hey, why did you call me, what's the matter?"
"Huh? Kareem? I see. I'll send you the address. Are you in Los Angeles?"
"Well, when you're done with your work, how about a one-on-one fight?"
"Next time, next time, I'm in a hurry this time! That's it!"
"As expected of you, you are so full of energy early in the morning... I don't even ask why, it's really amazing." Afraid that the person on the phone would say anything more, Zuo Li hung up the phone hastily, and the number displayed was astonishingly: Kobe Bryant!
After that game, in addition to changing their jerseys, the two also changed their phone numbers.
After getting the address, Zuo Li finally arrived at the destination of the trip, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's mansion!
