Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

As soon as the loose coffee was in hand, before his butt even touched the chair, a tall figure appeared across the road.

How high is it? Tim took a sip of coffee, squinted his eyes, and began to look at the people coming up and down. This is his favorite thing to do. As the center of Los Angeles, Staples has all kinds of people passing by here every day.

In his 22 years, he no longer remembers how many people he has met.

With Tim's eyesight developed over the years at the Staples gate, it can be easily estimated that he is definitely over 215 centimeters, and even Bynum, who is currently the tallest of the Los Angeles Lakers, should not be as tall as him.

And he's very handsome.

The person who came here was very young, with strong legs and legs. He was wearing a dark woolen coat. You didn’t need to look carefully to know that it was valuable. His black hair hung down in front of his forehead without looking messy. Even though he was wearing a mask, it was still easy to see the mask.

There should be good looks under cover.

Don't worry about Tim's eyesight. In the past 22 years, in addition to sports stars, he has also seen a lot of Hollywood stars here. Tim can tell who is really good-looking at a glance, and he has almost never noticed them.

So he could easily tell that the person coming was most likely someone from Hollywood or sports circles.

The only exception is the basketball in his hand. It is old and worn, even the leather is worn away. It is completely black. From a distance, you can't even tell whether it is a ball or not. This is incompatible with his overall temperament.

, like rubbish picked up casually from the ground.

"Could it be that rich people still have such a quirk...like to pick up trash?" Tim complained silently in his heart.

At this moment, the visitor had already walked to his stall, half-crouched in front of the stall, pulled down half of his mask, and said to him with a smile:

"Boss, here's a copy of today's sports newspaper."

"Ah! Ah!"

"Oh, okay, okay, right there, one...one...one dollar." Tim was shocked by this face. He really had a good eye. The person who came here was indeed handsome. It was 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!

It only took less than 30 games for a super rookie from the Knicks and even the entire NBA to achieve a level of fame that others would never achieve in a lifetime.

He has just led his team to the top of the league for the first time in 38 years, and has been praised by ESPN and many other media as the most potential supernova in the next ten years.

Why is he here!

At this moment, Tim thought he was not in Staples, Los Angeles, but Madison, New York.

"Okay, thank you, uncle!" The visitor put down a dollar knife, picked up a copy of Sports Illustrated, and started watching.

"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 flying all night.

Tim wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was really rare to meet a star early in the morning, so was he here for vacation?

Didn't he check in just to come to Staples? Didn't he just come here?

But there was no time to think too much, business came one after another.

Today's business is obviously better, maybe because of the holiday. Many fans come here early in the morning to check in, buy a newspaper, buy a breakfast on the street, and eat while watching. A good day starts with basketball news

.

After selling dozens of copies there, Zuo Li finally finished reading the newspaper. At this time, O Mei, who went to buy breakfast at the breakfast shop opposite, also came back with fresh breakfast.

"Let's go!" Zuo Li took the breakfast with a smile, then hugged Omei and said goodbye to Tim:

"Goodbye uncle, thank you for the 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. They were wearing Nike and Adidas shoes and their dreadlocked uniforms were standard. From the first glance, they looked like basketball players.

The two of them came to the stall and bought a newspaper. It was about Zuo Li and the Knicks, almost filling the entire front page.

"Tsk, the Knicks are a little weird lately."

"Indeed, it's really boring to be ranked 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 is so handsome when he plays basketball!"

"Hey, hey, you won't rebel, will you?"

"Why are you rebelling? Zuo Li was the king of street ball before. I have been a fan of him for a long time, just like his shoes, otherwise I would wear them out."

"Hehe, AND1 is no longer working. It's all supported by Zuoli. It's probably time to leave in less than two years. Don't worry."

"But I really want to watch Zuo Li play live. The tickets were too expensive before and I couldn't even afford them."

"Hey, killer number, 50. I wish I could have this day in the future."

…

"Hahaha, the star that you all miss so much has just passed you by. But Zuo Li is so famous that fans in Los Angeles have fallen for him. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a terrible newcomer." Tim will be left.

I finished my coffee in one gulp and looked at the billboard beside me, which was a preview of the Christmas war. The faces of Kobe and Garnett were very prominent.

Yes, who would have thought that New York, oh no, the most popular star in the United States in recent days would come to Los Angeles before the Christmas game.

What's even more unexpected is that the purpose of his coming here is not for a vacation at all, nor for the opening of a new studio. Those are all incidental. The main purpose of his coming here is to play with the ball in his hand.

Before the goat left, there was a basketball and a letter left to Zuo Li. Zuo Li had kept it well for so many years. The letter mentioned the agreement between him and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and forwarded the agreement to Zuo Li.

This time, Zuo Li came to visit Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!

Yes, taking advantage of the offseason, Zuo Li still hasn't forgotten to improve himself. In his eyes, he can only keep getting stronger.

"It's time to update again!" Tim lay on the chair and squinted his eyes, the sky was getting bluer and bluer.

…

The camera zoomed out and Zuo Li sent O Mei back home. Although O Mei wanted to go with Zuo Li, O Mei, who had been flying all night, did not have as much energy as Zuo Li, so the two agreed to spend the night together.

night.

After leaving Aomei's mansion, Zuo Li called someone.

"Hey, why did you call me? What's the matter?"

"Huh? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? I understand. I'll send you the address. Are you in Los Angeles?"

"Well, when you're done, let's have a duel?"

"Next time, next time, I'm pressed for time this time! That's it!"

"As expected of you, you are so energetic early in the morning...I don't even ask why, it's really amazing." Afraid of what the person on the phone would say, Zuo Li hurriedly hung up the phone, and the number displayed was:

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 his trip, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's mansion!
