Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"What!? The mayor of New York is crazy!" Zuo Li, who returned home, obviously didn't expect that the last invitation he received in 2009 was to attend a New Year's Eve concert in Times Square!

Having lived in New York for so many years, Zuo Li is very familiar with the New Year's Eve concert held in Times Square, New York, at 8 pm on December 31 every year.

It's said to be a concert, but Zuo Li actually thinks it's a show, a New Year's Eve show that starts during the day and spans two years.

New Yorkers call it the ball drop, which is the largest New Year's Eve event in New York and is a tradition that began in 1907.

At this time of year, Times Square is packed with 1 million tourists, which is a huge crowd.

Want to watch the crystal ball fall? Then you usually have to line up at 12 noon!

So you may need to stand in the cold wind for a full 12 hours.

But some people still enjoy it, because in addition to waiting for the clock to ring, enjoying the artistic performances of various big stars is also a top priority. This is also the largest New Year's Eve event in the United States.

Of course, all of the above belong to tourists and wealthy people. For Zuo Li, who was born in Harlem, he had never been to Times Square before going to high school.

After that, the most profound memory was of course the New Year’s Eve at a restaurant with Omei for two consecutive years, and I even made a declaration to stand on the top.

Although thinking about it now is a bit secondary, I have to say that this is still a blessed land for Zuo Li. It even marks that Zuo Li has officially entered a different class and gained his own love.

But even though Zuo Li has so many connections with Times Square New Year's Eve, Zuo Li never thought that he would become a part of the performance. After all, he has no interest in entertainment and does not have so many hobbies. He can sing and dance.

The man named Ji is different.

Otherwise, relying on his background and the group of black and tough artists in Harlem, he could build up the East Coast to show everyone.

However, fate still came in a direction that Zuo Li could not imagine. Zuo Li had just finished dinner with his teammates and received a call from Rich Paul.

Zuo Li originally thought that he was going to discuss his next company plans or any endorsements, but Rich Paul directly told Zuo Li that the New York City Government had sent him an invitation, inviting him to attend the New Year’s Eve party one day later.

!

Zuo Liren was dumbfounded. What the hell? Why did you invite yourself to a New Year’s Eve party? Play basketball?!

I'm afraid the mayor is not a fool!

Rich Paul was also helpless: "That's it. At first I thought this was a fraudster, but unfortunately, after confirmation, it was indeed a person from the city government."

"I tried to help you refuse, because I know, boss, you don't care about anything else except playing basketball. You can't go up and dunk for the audience, but you know what they say?"

"say what?"

"Said...you don't need to perform, just show your face and say a few words. Then, they offered a price of 1 million US dollars..."

I have long heard that American politics is magical, with one leader competing against the other and the other a lunatic. This is indeed the case!

Showing your face for a million?! Can the taxpayers agree with you spending so much money? Are you not afraid that someone will come to your house to check the water meter? You are too courageous!

"Ah, then, I think we can consider it," Zuo Li said.

It’s definitely not for the 1 million, it’s mainly because I like to show off my face.

Moreover, although Zuo Li was not short of money, the money delivered to his door was just like the 100 yuan he met on the street, so there was no reason not to pick it up!

"But is it really okay for them to do this..." But Zuo Li still expressed his concerns.

"It should be no problem... Boss, you don't know, there was a poll before about which celebrity you most wanted to see at the New Year's Eve party, and you ranked first on the list. What New York does is considered to be in line with public opinion."

When it comes to this, Rich Paul also has to accept it. When it comes to who is the most popular in New York in the past two years, it is definitely Zuo Li. And there is no opponent. Every star will shy away.

"There is also this kind of voting..." Zuo Li said that foreigners really know how to play.

"Then since you agree, I will reply to them. I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow. There will be no problem with security!"

After the discussion, Zuo Li, who put down the phone, still looked weird... I always thought this was weird... and he was going to attend the Times Square New Year's Eve party. Who would believe it.

But... I agree, I agree, but why go up there... I can't really just show my face.

Zuo Li fell into deep thought... Is there anything that is exciting, not embarrassing, and can ignite the atmosphere?

"Yes! Let's do it!" After a while, Zuo Li clapped his hands. His plan was absolutely feasible.

Just when Zuo Li was happy that he had come up with a good idea, the organizing committee preparing for the New Year's Eve party also announced in the early morning that Zuo Li would appear at the party and take the stage.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

The fans and the audience were shocked!

What kind of operation is this? Is it an April Fool's Day joke?

Then they saw Zuo Lifa's Instagram, oh, it turns out it's not April Fool's Day...

Wouldn’t that be even funnier!!!

When Aomei first learned about it, she was also confused, and then she looked proud: "Zuo Li, my dear, you are great! You have stepped onto the stage of a superstar!"

But not everyone is an Omei... everyone complains more.

"Wow, Zuo Li? New Year's Eve!?"

"So Zuo Li can also sing? Or can he dance? I can't play street ball for everyone... It's not impossible..."

"The case has been solved. Zuo Li went to play the erhu!"

"So there aren't enough entertainment stars... Zuo Li is here to make up the numbers, right?"

…

Netizens complained one after another, feeling that this was a failed invitation.

Of course, complaints are complaints. When Times Square was packed with people at 8 o'clock the next morning and people started queuing up wearing Knicks No. 0 jerseys, people realized...complaining does not affect everyone's desire to watch!

And when the party officially started at eight o'clock in the evening, the New York City Government felt that its invitation was very worthwhile!

Zuo Li came on stage at nine o'clock. Before him, many big names had performed. In the past, they must have left, but today, they chose to stay because they all wanted to see what Zuo Li was going to do on stage.

"Hey, I heard that Zuo Li came on stage for 1 million..."

"What?! More expensive than me! What will he do!"

"Tsk, tsk, that's outrageous..."

"I'll just watch him make a fool of himself quietly. When things get cold, I'll see what he does!"

…

Unfortunately, the moment Zuo Li stepped onto the stage, there was no such thing as a quiet moment.

"Left to the left! Stand to the left! Stand to the left!"

Some people even shouted "mvp", and the scene exploded instantly.

And then, Zuo Li launched into a powerful speech.

"Hey! Guys! How are you!"

"Thank you New York for giving me the opportunity to speak in front of so many people. Obviously, they know that I am Mr. Big Scene. What greater occasion than speaking in front of millions of people!"

"I really want to play a piece for you. Just like Eminem before, I also like his songs very much, but unfortunately, I don't have such a good sense of rhythm."

Eminem cupped his fists.

"As for Taylor, you are as beautiful as ever, and the songs you sing are so nice, but I heard that you want to write a song for me? Thank you, I really don't have to. After all, I have never been someone else's ex-boyfriend."

Taylor was laughing so hard.

"So, after thinking about it, what can I bring to everyone? I started thinking about it when I received the invitation."

"Finally, I got the answer..."

"Champion! There is only a championship! I am a basketball player, and I promise that I will bring the championship back to New York!"
