Basketball: Start with the Neuroknife
Chapter 114: Before All-Star Weekend and Taylor's confession
"Li Wan, apply for a deal!"
Tyron's tone was not cold, but after saying this, Kupchak shivered violently, and he didn't know if it was his body or his heart.
He didn't speak.
Tyron didn't speak again.
The two of them just listened to the sound of their breathing coming from the microphone.
Tyron's is very uniform.
Kupchak's breathing was sometimes slow, sometimes rapid.
He thought of when he was 19 years old, a very distant era in retrospect at his age. At that time, he broke up with his first girlfriend on the phone, and in the end, there was only silence.
This moment is like that moment.
It's just that now he has more pain!
"understood…"
These words are very weak, and Kupchak can't change anything, because he is the promoter of everything.
Of course, he also knew the reason why Li Wan took the initiative to apply for the transaction.
Not only is he annoyed that he has been in the trade rumors all the time, but it also relieves his embarrassment to a certain extent. At least in the future, Li Wan's departure has a certain reason for him to want to leave.
He didn't call Chris Wallace at the first time, but told old Bass everything first. After thinking about it for a while, his fingers found the letters on the text message interface and pressed them slowly one by one. Formed what he wanted to say to Kobe: Li Wan's agent just called and he wanted to leave the Lakers and go to the Magic. The deal is basically finalized.
In the end, he left Li Wan, and the chips that could be exchanged were also distributed.
Li Wan also got a reply from Tai Lun at this time.
The deal should be solid.
He said "um", walked slowly, walked to the balcony, leaned on the railing with one hand, and looked at the night in Los Angeles, calm with a bit of unease.
I'm afraid some people will not be able to sleep tonight.
"Buzz!"
The fingers rubbing against the phone felt the vibration, and the reason why women like to turn on the vibration was found.
is a text message.
Kobe's.
Li Wan first glanced at the time when Tyron called him, and then glanced at the time when Kobe's text message came.
Less than ten minutes.
— Tomorrow at 4 am.
Just a few short words.
Li Wan also simply replied with one word: Hmm.
He agreed, this time without any conditions.
Tomorrow is January 9th. After the home game with the Bucks, the Lakers will usher in two away games of "back-to-back", and the "back-to-back" end will be the All-Star weekend.
That said, this was Li Wan's last 4 a.m. time with the Lakers.
Kobe didn't reply anymore, Li Wan looked up at the sky, and there were a few stars hanging in the night sky.
- Are you going to watch the ball tomorrow? This should be my last home in Los Angeles.
After "Da Da Da Da", Li Wan deleted them all.
This was originally going to be sent to Taylor Swift, but he knew that Taylor would still sing at the Grammy Awards ceremony on February 10th, and he would have to go through the process tomorrow and audition on stage.
There should be no time.
Li Wan, a person, doesn't like others to trouble him, and he won't let others embarrass him.
Looking at the good night message that Taylor Swift sent at 11:30 before, without thinking about it, he once again looked at the night in Los Angeles and went to bed early.
At 3:50 in the morning, Li Wan arrived at the arena as agreed. Kobe was already practicing in it. When he saw him coming, he gave him a deep look: "Come on, rookie, let's start!"
"Dude, looking at you, you should have changed into a jersey, right?" Li Wan rolled his eyes, "You have been warming up for so long, and I'm just here... You were the one who won the duel back then. Is it?"
Jerry Stackhouse, the core leader of the 76ers before 1996, was the one who said "Jordan is nothing special" and then was beaten to the ground by Jordan "the worst junior in North Carolina."
There is also a widely circulated thing about him, that is, when Kobe was 17 years old, he was blown up in a heads-up.
Later, Stackhouse ran out to refute the rumor, saying that it was all fake, that it was impossible to blow it up, and he did win, but I didn't give him strength, for fear of hurting him.
However, Stackhouse said this after Kobe left. It is unknown what happened.
Listening to Li Wan's steady performance as always, Kobe smiled.
"This is the advantage of the early risers. You can get to the court earlier than me. I didn't say you can't... So come on, rookie." Kobe Bryant did not give in.
Li Wan didn't hesitate any longer.
For him, it was the same whether he was warming up or not, and the result was a blowout.
Since there is no difference, what is there to warm up, do it early, and end it early.
You ask him, why are you still talking?
Hehe, is the name "Trash Boy" for nothing?
"Kobe, you're getting worse and worse! In two hours, you only won four rounds and made me score five goals..."
Li Wan leaned back, put his hands on the ground, sat on the ground, gasping for breath. His strength has softened, but his mouth is still hard.
People can fall, but mouths must not fall.
Kobe brought him a bottle of water as usual.
Li Wan was a little surprised...
I don't call him "Pippen" anymore, how could this guy take the initiative?
Real hammer, Kobe is shaking M...
"The deal... I already know."
Kobe sat down beside him, after breathing well, he dazzled half a bottle of water, and his tone was slow.
On the one hand, he hadn't thought about what to say yet. On the other hand, the pressure Li Wan brought him was indeed much greater than the first time. Although he still defeated Li Wan with a crushing force, this time, he was a little bit more serious. There are no reservations.
It is foreseeable that this guy should give him a tricky feeling the next time he fights again.
"I remember when I was 19, I was just getting regular time on the Lakers bench."
Kobe wanted to praise Li Wan.
But this guy got shy, and it was himself who suffered.
Words to the lips, turned into memories of the past.
"Isn't it true that older people like to recall the past?"
Li Wan's cold words successfully garnered an eye roll. He could hear what Kobe meant. He wanted to say that at the age of 19, he was already very powerful. From the perspective of team status, he surpassed him. At that time, he was still on the bench, and Li Wan was sitting firmly. starting position.
But in fact, Kobe finished the second season of his career and was just 19 years old. The third season was his transition from 19 to 20 years old. That season, he played 50 games with the Lakers, starting every game. He averaged 19.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
The average points per game are similar to what he is now, with a little more rebounds and fewer assists. Looking at the data alone, there is no clear disadvantage overall, but no advantage either.
"I actually thought you'd leave the Lakers...just didn't think so soon..."
Kobe spit out a sincere word.
Li Wanping's performance, he saw it.
Don't look at this guy who usually makes tidbits of news every three days, as if he is just a player in the NBA, but his attitude is here, every day when there is no competition, he will practice for 1 hour to 1 hour after his daily training. half an hour.
Even though he scored 52 points in a single game and shocked the league, he did not relax and maintained his original attitude.
A player who constantly wants to climb up and become stronger is impossible without ambition.
"If I withdraw the trade request..." Li Wan looked at Kobe Bryant, "In two years, will you consciously give me your position?"
"Huh~"
Kobe didn't answer, just smiled.
Of course he won't.
Even at that time, Li Wan was already a player of his level. If he wanted the absolute core position, he would have to be picked out. Otherwise, he would not be able to give the boss position.
Because that's how he came here back then.
The core of the team...not to be let out!
Li Wan's question made Kobe understand that this kid knew him better than he thought.
Since it is still necessary to compete for the position of the boss through performance in two years, now there is a chance, why not go out and try it?
After chatting, fish maw white already appeared outside the window.
Day is coming.
"I probably won't say anything until a day after All-Star Weekend..."
Kobe Bryant doesn't make a statement, this will not happen without a deal.
"Tonight's game, if you don't play well, I won't agree."
Leaving such a sentence coldly, Kobe left, leaving Li Wan with a proud back.
This is the arrogant Kobe Bryant hope he played a beautiful Lakers home curtain call.
"Hey, Kobe!" Li Wan stopped him and stood up, "I exchanged so many people for you, you should thank me?"
Pau Gasol and Ariza are players who would have gone to the Lakers.
But neither Nelson Jr nor white shooter JJ Redick.
An aggressive No. 1, and a three-point shooter who has been eager to play but has no playing time, the Lakers this season, after this trade, are stronger than they were at the same time.
Kobe stomped his feet and turned his head slightly, but did not turn his head greatly, but Li Wan knew that he was looking at him with a sidelight.
"I actually want you to stay more, you are a great teammate..."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Wan to say anything, he strode towards the door, and it could be seen that his footsteps were a little hurried compared to just now.
he…
so awkward.
You Qi, who was behind Li Wan, said, "Uh, it's so numb." He even felt ashamed of digging his toes on the ground.
This is really different from the character he showed.
And like Li Wan said...
This is a bit mushy.
If Vanessa heard it, I'm afraid she would look at him with resentful eyes.
You never said anything so sweet to me...
Even after training in the morning, Kobe, whose expression had returned to his icy coldness, still did not dare to meet Li Wanyou's gaze.
Odom, who is usually savage, has noticed this keenly. Well, it's not that he is sharp, but... He has coordinated the small conflicts between Kobe and Li Wan many times. Although sometimes it's a disservice, but None of this matters.
The important thing is that he knows very well what the normal atmosphere between Kobe and Li Wan is like.
Li Wan's face was calm, thinking of Kobe's true feelings at that time, he laughed lightly and did not answer.
In half a year, Kobe can show his soft side. This kind of thing shouldn't be done by ordinary people, right?
Should he reward a woman for doing him a favor?
The game of the night is coming soon.
Before Kobe nodded, Kupchak did not move. As for the other two, before the deal was about to be concluded, they naturally kept their mouths shut and waited silently for the final moment.
Therefore, the outside world does not know that Li Wan is about to leave the Lakers.
Los Angeles, as usual, sent out enthusiastic cheers. The screams filled the entire Staples, and all kinds of rumors were flying in the sky. As the protagonist of the transaction rumors, Li Wan was deeply involved.
A rookie worries every day whether he will be traded.
He must be terrified at the moment, right?
The die-hard Lakers felt sorry for Li Wan. Female fans were overwhelmed with maternal love. They looked at Li Wan as if they were watching a shivering puppy hiding in the corner and unable to enter the door during a thunderstorm.
Come, come to mother's arms, hug!
I heard that Li Wan's first batch of "mother fans" appeared at this time.
Li Wan just smiled faintly, but Kobe glanced at him from time to time.
On the opposite side, Yi Jianlian came over to say hello to Li Wan, and the iconic "subwoofer" was a little unclear in the boiling shouts of the audience: "Congratulations, Li Wan, you have entered the All-Star starter!"
Li Wan patted him on the waist and took the initiative to appear closer. Since the last game, Yi Jianlian has chatted with him a lot more times. It has been 2 months since the original "no contact between old and dead". There are two, and after four or five days, we will play the Rookie Challenge together, and we may play the Olympic Games together in the summer. He feels that there is no problem with responding.
Yi Jianlian's interest is obviously not high.
Domestic fans are very unfriendly to him now, which is exactly what he said: the higher the expectation, the greater the backlash once the performance is not good.
The most important thing is that the media has not realized that Yi Jianlian really needs to make some changes, and they are still touting it.
Their touts are like the shareholder wind when a wildfire ignites a prairie fire.
In fact, Yi Jianlian's performance has been very good recently, scoring 14 points in two consecutive games. But it may be that he is the jewel in the front, and the domestic fans' evaluation of him is still unfriendly.
Eh?
After all, did I kill the United Arab?
Forget it, pass more penalties to the UAE in the Rookie Challenge!
Then the game officially started.
Lakers starting lineup: Li Wan at No. 1, Kobe Bryant at No. 2, Luke Walton at No. 3, Lamar Odom at No. 4, Kwame Brown at No. 5;
Bucks starting lineup: Mo Williams at No. 1, Michael Reed at No. 2, Draymond Mason at No. 3, Yi Jianlian at No. 4, Bogut at No. 5;
Because it was Li Wan and Yi Jianlian who met on the field, even if the game was not "live broadcast in the United States", there were a lot of media on the scene.
Probably for this reason, Yi Jianlian got the starting plan.
Although his performance in the first two games was good, he came off the bench.
Bucks rookie head coach Larry Chris Kwiak now clearly prefers Villanueva.
But he does have a lot of pressure.
The Bucks' lineup is not bad, and there are all-star players at their peak. There are still so many people in the East who are rotten, but they still can't make the playoffs.
Also suffering.
Over there, you can’t lose if you want to lose, and here, you want to win so much, but you can’t win!
The Milwaukee media even thought that the Bucks were looking ahead to the next season and wanted to find a potential rookie to train.
The ball goes to the Lakers.
Li Wan took the ball to the front court.
Kobe didn't come out to catch the ball.
Odom Tong Kong shrunk slightly. Did the two of them make such a serious fight this time?
Li Wan faced Mo Williams.
Later, the "guardian with a knife" is now nicknamed "Mo Bu Chuan".
Because he always does not pass the ball to the UAE, which comes from this.
His strengths are all on the offensive end, and the defensive end is extremely sloppy. He is only 1.85 meters tall, and his speed is not fast. That leaves him without even the only advantage that shorter players have on the defensive end.
Li Wan was not polite. He grabbed the ball and grabbed the ball. He approached with one step, created a confrontation with him, easily squeezed away, and entered the inside line.
The United Arab showed his mobility and made up for the defense in time.
Li Wan took the ball in both hands and pretended to pass the ball to the outside, tricking Yi Jianlian into subconsciously chasing the ball. After reaching the inside, he hit the ball to Odom.
The latter attracted Bogut and gave the ball to Li Wan.
The ball flew out of Li Wan's hand and bounced into the basket.
In the "3v1" inside line, Bogut was like a clumsy white bear. He didn't know which side to defend, so he simply looked up at the basket.
The ball just fell off the rim and hit Bogut in the face.
It hurt him so much that he covered his nose, and after covering it for a long time, tears almost came out.
look up again...
The rest of the Bucks didn't notice his discomfort. Mo Williams just made Li Wan eat so hard, urging the United Arab to serve, and he rushed to the front court. Others were afraid of him alone. Can't beat the five on the other side, so hurry up and follow in his footsteps.
It wasn't until Mo Williams shot the frame and everyone returned to the defense that they found out...
Oh, so we've been missing someone?
Larry on the sidelines was already covering his forehead.
This is the worst class of players he has ever had.
Li Wan took the ball to the frontcourt again, but Kobe still didn't come out to catch the ball. Phil Jackson also noticed this scene and turned his head to Phil Handy next to him: "You have a better relationship with Kobe, these two days you Help me ask him, is he willing to accept dual cores?"
Kupchak has done a good job of keeping secrets. Only four people on the team know about him, Li Wan, Kobe and the old Buss. Before the deal was really finalized, he did not tell anyone.
Phil Jackson doesn't know either.
At this moment, he looked at Kobe's actions, and from his understanding, of course, he could see that this was deliberately giving Li Wan a chance to perform.
Combined with the gossip in the media right now...
He came to an astonishing conclusion: Kobe was willing to sacrifice for Li Wan!
Otherwise, it's really hard to understand why Kobe did this.
After the first round, Li Wan already knew how to play. He pulled to the outside line, slowed down the speed of dribbling, and then signaled his teammates to pull away.
Mo Williams waited for him with his foot on the three-point line, and looked around again and again and saw that there was no one behind him. At that time, he felt that Ju* was tight.
Then focus on Li Wan, who has already dribbled the ball in front of him.
Whoops!
Do a sneak attack?
Can't afford to play?
you little...
"Bah!"
With a confrontation, Li Wan pushed him away again to complete the breakthrough.
The Bucks' mid-range area was pulled by the Lakers, unmarked, and he made a handsome jumper.
"Bang!"
Odom didn't know what to do, but suddenly rose up and pushed Yi Jianlian away. After grabbing the board, he completed the second attack!
After the fight, I took a look at Kobe and observed his expression.
Look, my little brother lost the ball, I got it in.
Then he gave Li Wan a trusting look: With my brother here, don't worry!
Li Wan felt a little pity when he saw that he missed the shot.
But the pose is definitely still handsome!
and…
Is this what singles feel like?
In the past, Li Wan rarely let his teammates pull away and played one-on-one. His style of play was more suitable for cooperation with his teammates.
Just thinking that after going to the Magic in the future, he should have a certain level of ball-handling singles on his shoulders, so he tried it in front of Mo Williams, the "meat weapon".
The pull-up jumper doesn't feel right.
The ball didn't go in...
But Li Wan just felt very comfortable.
After that, it was even more out of control. In the first quarter alone, he let his teammates pull away six or seven times, and he played singles with the ball. The efficiency was amazing, and he made 1 of 5 shots!
At the end of the first quarter, Kobe finally couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him aside: "Stop **** singles!"
Li Wan's face was in disbelief, and these words could actually come out of Kobe's mouth!
So what's up with your usual ones?
Li Wan asked with his eyes.
His eyes are very smart, and when he stares at Kobe, he is full of confidence: I just learned from you!
Kobe was actually a little guilty.
"I, I stood up at the critical moment and saved the team, can this be the same?"
Then there are things like "Who can hit 100% at critical moments?" "Do you think it's easy to play singles at critical moments?"
Li Wan felt that the atmosphere had become cheerful.
In the second quarter, Li Wan resumed his normal style of play, calling pick-and-rolls, passing the ball after attracting double teams, and taking shots from open spaces.
The overall strength of the Bucks is indeed not very strong. In addition, Kobe Bryant did not stand up tonight to "freeze" his hands and "freeze" his feet. He wasted his physical strength on the offensive end, and the excess energy was used on the opposing guard Michael Reid. .
One of several shooting guards to emerge from the "post-four shooting guard" era.
Michael Reed's main scoring method in college was breakthroughs. It was only in the NBA that he discovered that his "crooked machine gun" could shoot a piece, and this became the league's famous "sniper".
But he has a dream to pick up the sharp breakthrough in college.
So much so that he is a bit obsessed with the opportunity to break through with the ball, and never shoot with the ball.
Standing in front of him, Kobe Bryant, the league's "best defense" level, caused his scoring efficiency to be very low tonight, and he almost sprained his ankle during the period.
To say that this man who squeezed out Ray Allen, his body is somewhat brittle.
It is mainly related to his current style of play. He is not a person who can fight against high opponents. He belongs to the type of 369 who knows how to pull the art of projecting heavy fire from the outside.
His problem is also Yi Jianlian's problem.
The UAE is also unable to carry out NBA-level physical confrontation for a long time. This is related to his unprofessional physical polishing in his early years. Therefore, some media said that if Yi Jianlian had entered the league three years earlier, the result might have been very different.
But Yi Jianlian also has a fatal problem. His shooting speed is very slow, which causes him to have the right shot, but his shot is easily disturbed or the best time is missed.
Before the end of the first half, Yi Jianlian came with a "Dapeng spreading his wings" style dunk, which made the players on the Bucks bench stand up and applaud him.
"Asia's No. 1 Quality Man" is vividly reflected at this moment.
Larry was also a little taken aback.
Then he showed a helpless smile.
No matter how high the talent is, how can the injuries and illnesses be like a tiger!
After the start of the second half, Larry put more Villanueva on the lineup in order to chase points.
This lineup has a longer run-in time, and it is indeed more powerful.
This is also a dilemma for Larry. Obviously he has a better lineup to use, but because of public opinion and the pressure of the management, Yi Jianlian must always be given opportunities to find a state.
Even if the team doesn't ask for a record...
But after the season ended, Larry was fired.
The reason for firing him is that such a lineup did not make the playoffs, and his ability was questioned.
The Bucks' chasing momentum in the first half of the third quarter was quite fierce, but Li Wan, whose "Nervous Knife" badge was lit up immediately, used a wave of offensive to score 9 points in a row, causing cheers to erupt from the scene and let the victorious team break out. The balance was tipped in favor of the Lakers.
Seeing that there was no hope of winning, Larry put Yi Jianlian on the court again to let him adapt.
The United Arab who hurried on the court was cold, and ran a few laps back and forth on the court, with no gain, and the game was over.
101 to 89.
The audience cheered, and the fans on the sidelines waved to Li Wan excitedly.
He stayed at Staples tonight with a perfect record of 24 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
If you don't look at shooting percentage...
Waving goodbye to the fans.
Of course, the Los Angeles people at the scene didn't know that this was a farewell, and they waved to him enthusiastically.
Before leaving the court, he went to say hello to Yi Jianlian: "See you at the Rookie Challenge..."
Yi Jianlian scored 7 points and 4 rebounds in this game. His performance was not bad or not. It may be that there were not many plays in the second half, and the air pressure was much lower than before the game.
Li Wan understood his situation, but he really couldn't offer much help.
When he walked into the player tunnel, a bunch of reporters rushed up like a swarm of wasps. Their questions were similar. They were asking Li Wan for his views on the trade. The New York reporter showed their forward vision: "What do you think of the Knicks?"
Before he could answer, the Los Angeles reporter next to him gave him a stern look: "Not so good!"
Li Wancheng was amused, but he didn't say anything about the transaction.
When he got home at night, Tyron was already waiting for him at home.
Tomorrow, the Lakers will fly to New Jersey, and after the "back-to-back" game, they will be All-Stars.
After the All-Star, Li Wan should go directly to Orlando.
Tyron needs to help him send his luggage first, and help him get a house in Orlando.
Originally, Li Wan planned to buy a house, but thinking about the small city of Orlando and the wonderful management team, it is impossible to give them all of his career. Orlando is not like Los Angeles. I don’t know how many years it will take to rent it out. I decided to rent a house.
"Wait until All-Star Weekend!"
Li Wan told him what he needed, and finally added another sentence.
Now that he is on the cusp of the storm, Tyron's actions can easily arouse the vigilance of the outside world.
After Tyron left, Li Wan went to lie down on the reclining chair on the balcony. When he bought this house, he was attracted by the balcony, but he didn't lie down a few times before the change came.
"Buzz!"
Li Wan took out his mobile phone, it was 11:40, Taylor sent a text message as usual, Li Wan thought it was "good night" again, but it turned out to be...
—Li Wan, come to the window.
Eh?
Li Wan was stunned for a moment and walked towards the window on the other side. Just after opening the window, Taylor, who heard the sound, just raised his head and met Li Wan's eyes.
The moonlight tonight is very good, the moonlight is bright and extraordinarily bright. When it shines on Taylor's face, she feels a little colder in her already cold whiteness. But seeing Li Wanshi's smile melted the coldness again.
"Isn't it Grammy tomorrow? You're still not sleeping..." Li Wan looked up at the sky. If you want to look at the stars, there are not many stars.
Li Wan soon understood that Taylor was nervous for tomorrow's "Best Newcomer Award".
The Grammy "Rookie Award" is actually similar to the NBA's "Best Rookie". It's really impossible to say how much status can be improved, but everyone can win it once in a lifetime.
It's precious, it's precious.
"Don't worry, this award is definitely not yours, go to bed earlier..."
Li Wan comforted.
Tyler looked up: ? ? ?
Apparently she didn't think it was consolation.
"Plan for the worst in everything, have the lowest expectations, and do your best!"
Tyron had a speechless face, but he suddenly thought a little more, and then nodded his head if he realized something.
"Hey, aren't you coming back until All-Star Weekend is over?"
Taylor asked carefully, her concert has been scheduled, starting on February 17, 5 days in Los Angeles, 5 days in New York, and finally a 7-day carnival in Miami.
In the 5 days in Los Angeles, Li Wan happened to be free one day.
She wanted to invite Li Wan to the concert.
Li Wan hesitated for a while, but still said: "After the All-Star Game, I will be traded to Orlando. I shouldn't be able to come back in a short time. Sorry, I can't watch your concert..."
Taylor was stunned and didn't speak for a long time. Li Wan's words caused her brain to shut down for a while.
"Come on, trade?"
This was the first sentence that came out of her head after she went blank.
Li Wan made her look amused, and she pressed her hand slightly to make her voice a little lower: "This deal has not been officially finalized, don't reveal the secret."
"I'm going to tell you, can't you leave?"
Taylor's response made Li Wan a little surprised.
This…
Do singer-songwriters have such brain circuits?
"Then I might have to leave sooner..."
If the news is leaked, the general managers of the three parties will definitely finalize the contract as quickly as possible. I am afraid that this "back-to-back" Li Wan will not be able to fight, so he has to report to the Magic in advance.
hiss?
Thinking about it this way, it seems to feel better!
After entering the league until now, what he is most afraid of now is the "back-to-back" schedule. This is purely because the league is playing hooligans to make money!
Tyler was silent, not knowing what to say. He lay down on the window and didn't look up at him. The atmosphere was a little cold all of a sudden.
Li Wan didn't say anything more, let her rest early and have to go to Grammy tomorrow.
"If you're late because you overslept, you'll be the first person to come to America!"
The joke was very funny, but Tyler couldn't laugh, so he replied dully, looked up again, and Li Wan had already closed the window.
Hey, this guy!
She pouted and closed the window. Taylor went back to the bedroom, the dark room. She was standing at the foot of the bed without taking off her clothes. She thought of Li Wan, who was sleeping here that night.
Think about her encounter with Li Wan and the bad things they did together...
Some temptations only belong to the 19-year-old, and at the age of 19, she is a bit over the top.
The moonlight shone on the table by the window, and the invitation letter from Grammy lay there quietly. Taylor's eyes flickered, and a bold idea slowly emerged in his heart.
- Will you watch Grammy's live broadcast?
She sent a message to Li Wan.
Li Wan saw the information the next day, simply replied "I will read", and was ready to go to the airport to gather with his teammates. Before leaving, he specially went to feed the black cat once. This "Brother Cat" brought him two female stars, but unfortunately he will not be able to see them in the future.
It's really... a pity!
It takes more than 5 hours from Los Angeles to New Jersey, which is not a short distance, so we have to start early.
Li Wan sat on the plane and glanced out the window, not knowing when the next time he would come to Los Angeles would be.
The regular season this season between the Lakers and the Magic has ended. If they want to meet again, they must be on the stage of the finals.
The Magic's play style this season has just been integrated. Stan Van Gundy looked at the "Mr. Billionaire" and Turkoglu's two No. 4 positions in the lineup. Neither of them was reluctant to put them on the bench. Well, Turkoglu played a small forward. I didn't expect that this would lead to the peak of Turkoglu's career.
This transformation also allowed Stan Van Gundy to change the label of the outside world because of his rigid and sharp personality during his tenure with the Heat.
Li Wan went, and the chemical reaction had to be reworked.
Just like when Li Wan came to the Lakers, his running-in with Kobe didn’t start to spark until January. When he goes to Orlando, it is estimated that the running-in will be the main thing.
It is not easy for such a team to break into the finals from the hands of the Celtics, the championship this season...
Originally, there was no Li Wan to join, and this season the Magic have not even passed the second round of the playoffs.
He doesn't think that with his current strength, he can improve the Magic so much at once.
In short, there should be little hope of coming to Los Angeles this season.
With the smooth flight of the plane, Li Wan's eyes also returned to the cabin, watching Odom and others who were arguing for Texas. He suddenly became a little more interested today.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, this brother fell asleep at the end, and suddenly felt very sleepy and didn't want to play. They still remember Li Wan's "gambling king" card skill that one family "killed" three families.
Playing with him is giving money. If I have this money, I might as well go to a nightclub and throw money. When I go to a nightclub, I need to have a good mental state, so I sleep now...
Director Zhang had to give a thumbs up after listening to it and said: This is very reasonable!
After sleeping in the hotel in the afternoon, Odom knocked on the door and told him to go to the nightclub. He didn't go, not because he wanted to make a deal, or because of subconscious alienation, but...
"Back to back" can't hurt!
Seriously, he really hopes that the template will be upgraded to the next level. Come to Hamilton, and your physical strength will be directly full...
At 7:00 pm, the Grammy Awards began, and Li Wan sat in front of the TV, waiting for Taylor Swift to appear.
The "Rookie Award" is usually awarded at the very front.
It's a truth that the "best rookie" in the NBA has results a day or two after the end of the regular season of each season.
Commonly known as "appetizers".
No, after the opening guests sang the performance and awarded a few awards that Li Wan did not know, they came to the awarding link of the "Best Newcomer Award".
The host interacted humorously with several singers nominated for the Newcomer Award. After the atmosphere was heated up, the award presenters officially announced the results.
"The Grammy Award for Best Rookie of 2009 is...Taylor Swift!"
Accompanied by the music playing at the scene, the camera was given to Taylor for the first time.
She was very well dressed tonight.
The golden curly hair was choppy and poured down one side, revealing half of her delicate face, with a bit of surprise and excitement, she got up to respond to the person who congratulated her next to her, and at the same time walked towards the stage microphone under the spotlight.
As she walked out of the seat, the skirt of the blue tight-fitting evening dress with a mermaid tail fell down and dragged on the ground, revealing her slender figure. The light shone on the skirt, and the patches like fish scales reflected light. Let Taylor Swift look at it, it is so dazzling.
It's hard to imagine that such a woman would also look at his pictures**.
The applause gradually stopped, Taylor Swift walked to the middle of the stage, took the "Grammy Newcomer Award" trophy handed over, and hugged it unconsciously.
Grammy Newcomer Awards…
This is what every newbie wants.
Who doesn't want to be noticed as soon as they debut?
Now that Taylor holds this award, it means that she is recognized by Grammy as the most outstanding new singer in 2009!
"I am very happy to receive this award. For me, it represents affirmation and encouragement. Thanks to my team and producers, as well as my fans, I will work hard to make better music..."
After a very official acceptance speech, Taylor Swift suddenly looked at the camera directly opposite her.
The director was very experienced and immediately knew what was going to happen...
Gave Taylor Swift an ongoing close-up.
Slightly exhaling, she spoke again: "I was once worried about whether I could win this award, but someone who became more and more important to me advised me to plan for the worst, expect the lowest, and do my best. The best effort is fine... I planned for the worst and won the Grammy Newcomer Award. I am very lucky... At this moment, I offer the lowest expectations, and hope that our story will not end!"
There are pauses, with a slight vibrato, you can feel that Taylor Swift is very nervous and excited, even if at this moment her expression is calm and her eyes are bright...
The host at the scene glanced at the jury's seat, and the audience was also in turmoil.
this…
this…
This seems to be a confession, right?
Everyone looked in astonishment. Taylor Swift, who was staring at the camera for more than three seconds in front of the microphone, finished what she was about to say, covered her low neckline with her hands, and bowed to step down.
When she was about to leave the stage, the group of talents on the scene woke up like a dream and sent the warmest applause.
Instead, it surprised Swift.
The surprised reaction like a deer at this moment caused a burst of laughter on the scene.
A woman who was so careful, did such a bold thing on the stage just now!
19 years old…
It's so forgettable!
As for the group of reporters standing at the back, they are gearing up, waiting for the end of the awards ceremony, to seize the perfect position to interview Taylor Swift as soon as possible.
They had to pry Tyler's mouth open so she could say the name.
As for what the media want to know, the man Taylor spoke of... Sitting in front of the TV at the moment, although Taylor did not say his name, from her message and the sentence "prepare for the worst"...
It should be me, right?
Li Wan took out his mobile phone and glanced at Taylor's "Good Night Every Day", if it wasn't for him...
It can only be said that Taylor Swift, the "Sea King", deserves to catch so many "fish".
However, just "raised fish" shouldn't be her acceptance speech at Grammy, right?
Now there's a tricky question...
After such a vigorous start, after breaking up, it will definitely be written into the song, right?
Taylor Swift, famous for writing a song and falling in love, broke down and released a song...
Li Wan didn't know what kind of inspiration he could inspire her at that time.
but…
Taylor Swift said the man was really what he said, and he should agree with Taylor's confession.
He is 1.8 meters tall, and has a delicate and glamorous appearance. He is not so "rich", and there is no "airport" on his chest. The most important thing is that he has been fighting for so long, can he not?
Then the awards were announced one by one, and the annual Grammy came to an end.
After the party, it was Taylor Swift's confession that made the biggest noise, but no matter how the reporters pressed him, Taylor always had only one sentence: "I want to know more about his answer and then reveal more. Before that, please don't ask about him again..."
She could remember what Li Wan said that he was in the trading period and that he was about to leave Los Angeles, which was still kept secret.
Maybe it's because she didn't want to reveal too much, and some media thought it was just a show she did for exposure.
Taylor did not respond to this either. After finishing the interview, under the helpless eyes of the agent, he went back to his nanny car to change clothes, and immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Li Wan.
-did you see it yet?
Watching the message being sent, Tyler bit his lip unconsciously, his eyes fixed on the phone, and his whole mood became uneasy.
"Whoa!"
At this moment, the door was pulled open, making a harsh sound, and Taylor was so frightened that he shrank his head like a little hamster who heard movement in the sawdust.
is her agent.
The agent, who was still helpless just now, was very excited at the moment: "Taylor, the NBA officially invited us to sing as a guest at the All-Star Weekend!"
At this time, the NBA has long been more than the influence it had at the beginning of 2000. With the implementation of the "internationalization strategy", the NBA that became popular abroad has become popular again in China, although it has not surpassed baseball and rugby. The domestic influence is also catching up quickly, and the ice hockey league, which was originally as influential as them, has been left far behind.
Especially the NBA All-Star Weekend is a good opportunity for many stars to expand their overseas popularity.
This is a very good resource for newcomer singers who have just won the "Grammy Newcomer Award" and have a certain reputation, but are not so popular.
"I heard that it was Carrie Underwood, and we were finally determined after tonight's Grammy."
Carrie Underwood is the champion of the variety show "American Idol" in 2005. The influence of this show is almost equivalent to that of "Super Girl".
In terms of popularity alone, she may even be above Taylor.
This is a good confession!
The agent couldn't even smile.
Instead, Taylor was a little speechless: "Are you finished?"
Let's go!
The agent saw this sentence in her eyes and continued to smile, but got out of the car very honestly and closed the door thoughtfully.
Taylor Swift was alone in the car again, and his eyes returned to his phone.
Eh?
Just looking at the agent, he was speechless, but he didn't notice that Li Wan had already replied to the text message, only one word.
-it is good!
He held his breath for a second.
Taylor Swift has never found the word "good" so pleasing to the eye.
But happiness is happy, as a woman, not only from the East, but also from the West, they are all the same...
Gotta ask.
Or rather, knowingly ask.
"You are good, what do you mean?"
"It's good, congratulations on winning the newcomer award, it's a good result..."
"Ah...oh..." Taylor's tone dropped instantly.
"And... our story continues." Li Wan, who teased her, also responded positively to Taylor Swift.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little sour.
However, Li Wan still reminded Taylor that it is best not to say his name until the transaction is completed.
Tyler nodded and smirked.
She didn't know why she laughed, but she was so happy she wanted to laugh.
It's always amazing to start every minute...
The next day, the United States began to speculate on who Taylor's confession was.
It's hard to guess. Taylor is still a newcomer after all, and the usual "shooting resources" of the media are not on her. She still refused to disclose to the media, but she admitted that "the confession was successful".
"Do you think Tyler is lying?"
At noon on the day of the game, Odom was eating, reading the reports about Taylor carefully, and looked up at the "little brother" across from him.
"no!"
"Um?"
The certainty in Li Wan's tone made Odom stunned for a moment, "How do you know?"
Li Wan put the small pieces into his mouth, deliberately silent for a while, and when the curiosity in Odom's eyes became more and more intense, he said: "Because Tyler's confession is me."
"..." Odom stopped cutting the beef, stared at Li Wan for a long time, and laughed out loud, "Haha, buddy, you're pretending to be so similar, I was almost deceived by you!"
Li Wan smiled and didn't explain much. The reason why he said it was because he knew that Odom would not believe it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This guy always thought he was teasing him.
After easily killing the New Jersey Nets in the evening, he only accepted an interview for 10 minutes that night. Li Wan followed the Lakers to Charlotte and challenged the Bobcats "back to back".
Let the lynx beheaded.
What's interesting is that although the Lakers lost the game "back to back" this time, even when they were full of energy, the two years they met the Bobcats in the regular season, they lost more and won less. No one can explain it clearly. what reason.
Of course, there is another reason for this game, that is, the Lakers' inside line is a blast.
9 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 turnovers.
Li Wan ended his last game before the All-Star break with such an underwhelming stat.
Also his last game with the Lakers.
