Although Wen Hao had a headache about going to the Owl Restaurant, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Yu Song had already made an appointment there, so he couldn't refuse.
After going out, Wen Hao took a taxi and arrived at the entrance of the Owl Restaurant in less than ten minutes. After getting off the car, Wen Hao took a casual look at the Owl Restaurant and was stunned.
On the wall, there are large posters of Rockets players, and the person standing at the front is not Harden or Howard, but himself.
On the poster, he is wearing a mask, rising into the air and flying towards the basket. Under his feet is an unknown player. However, although the man's face is a bit blurry, judging from his body shape and jersey number,
Look, it's undoubtedly Gerald Green.
And the English text on the side reads like this: City Hero - The Button of Doomsday!
Wen Hao was surprised for a moment, touched his head, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am really strong."
At this time, a voice came from behind: "Of course, you don't know. I was watching the game at the Owl Bar. There was silence for five seconds. After that, everyone celebrated wildly. Everyone was like that because of your doomsday dunk.
It’s like crazy.”
"Really?" Wen Hao said with a smile.
"Let's go in first. There may be surprises later." Yu Song said.
Wen Hao didn't ask any questions and walked to the Owl Restaurant with Yu Song.
When they first entered the door, the guests, waiters, and chefs in the restaurant all turned their heads to look. After a while, everyone burst into cheers, and the roof of the entire Owl Restaurant was almost lifted off.
Wen Hao was shocked. Generally speaking, Americans are not as star-chasing as Chinese people. They will leave some private space for celebrities. Many times, even if they meet celebrities on the street, the most they can do is say hello.
A newly emerging player like Wen Hao would receive even fewer cheers. He didn't expect that so many people would stand up and cheer for him here today, which really flattered Wen Hao.
Amidst the cheers of the people, before Wen Hao could move, the Owl Girls invited Wen Hao in, cleared a table by the window, and invited Wen Hao and Yu Song to sit down.
The owl girl with blond hair and a hot surname said to Wen Hao: "Just order whatever you want to eat. Our manager has already said that you can dine here for free forever."
Wen Hao had already expected this, nodded to the girl, and said: "Well, we are still waiting for someone, we will order later. But first, let's have two beers."
In fact, Wen Hao rarely drinks. He needs to keep his head clear at all times. But today he was in the mood, so he ordered a beer each for himself and Yu Song.
In a short time, the owl girl brought the beer and said, "Please use it slowly."
When Wen Hao heard the clear and sweet voice, he looked up and saw that the girl was none other than Elena.
When Wen Hao saw it, he suddenly lost his mind and said hurriedly: "Elena, why...it's you."
Elena smiled charmingly and said, "Of course it's me, otherwise who else could it be?"
Wen Hao knew there was something in Elena's words and did not dare to say more.
Seeing that Wen Hao didn't speak any more, Elena's eyes showed a slight hint of disappointment and said, "When the guests you are waiting for arrive, ask me to order."
Wen Hao just said "hmm" and stopped talking. He doesn't have much thought about romance at the moment. All his thoughts are on basketball. The Rockets are very strong this year.
A chance to win a championship. He can't let these things distract him.
After Elena left, Yu Song looked at Elena's back and said to Wen Hao: "Wen Hao, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Hao hurriedly raised his head and said, "No...nothing."
"I think you seem a little unnatural," Yu Songyin said with an evil smile and approached Wen Hao, "Tell me the truth, did you have an affair with that girl?"
"Go away..." Wen Hao cursed.
Yu Song said: "Actually, I know even if you don't tell me, weren't you a hero who saved the beauty here before? It seems that she is quite interesting to you. Anyway, you don't have a girlfriend yet, and I think that girl is also quite interested.
That’s right, why don’t you just obey her?”
Wen Hao didn't pay attention to Yu Song's joke and said seriously: "How can I have such thoughts now? I only think about the championship."
"I understand." Yu Song pretended to understand, "Let's talk about it later. But such a beautiful girl is chased by many people. You better not regret it if she is snatched away."
"Just do your own thing well. If you don't have a lot to eat, you still have a lot to do." Wen Hao rolled his eyes at Yu Song.
Yu Song did not reply to Wen Hao, but stood up and said behind Wen Hao: "Editor-in-Chief Edward, you are finally here."
Wen Hao turned around and saw a little old man who was over fifty years old, with silver hair and a kind-hearted look, standing behind him. He was looking at him with a smile and said, "Wen Hao, I finally meet you in person."
Wen Hao stood up, shook hands with Editor Edward, and smiled calmly: "Hello, Editor Edward."
Edward sat down and said to Wen Hao: "I am the editor-in-chief of the basketball team of Sports Illustrated. Just call me Edward."
Wen Hao smiled and said: "Edward, I want to discuss it with you. You see, I have to start training again tomorrow. Can you postpone the cover photo shoot until after the playoffs? I really don't have it.
time."
Edward smiled and listened to Wen Hao's words, and then said calmly: "We already have the cover."
"Yes?" Wen Hao asked in surprise.
Edward took out a picture at this time: "Don't you think this is the best cover?"
When Wen Hao and Yu Song saw the photo, they immediately looked at each other and smiled: "Edward is right, that was the best photo."
That photo is none other than the one on the wall of the Hooters Restaurant, and it is Wen Hao's apocalyptic button. In any case, that photo is the best cover photo.
Edward continued: "Many years from now, this shot will definitely become an NBA classic. Wen Hao, you are the creator of history. If I read it correctly, it won't be long before you will become the king of the NBA, like James and Duran."
He is such a king. His absolute dominance shocks all his opponents."
Although Wen Hao was used to people's praise, he still didn't dare to accept Edward's high praise: "You are too generous."
Edward shook his head: "You Chinese are too modest. Let's just watch. One day, you will reach that level. This is my experience of more than 30 years, and it can't be wrong."
Wen Hao didn't continue to be humble, and he was longing for it in his heart, hoping that he could reach that height as soon as possible.
Edward seemed to have remembered something at this time, and continued: "Our magazine has already studied it, and we have a plan to make a series of covers for you."
"Series cover?" Wen Hao was surprised, and Yu Song was even more surprised.
"Yes, it is a series of covers. Since the birth of "Sports Illustrated", no player has been on the cover of "Sports Illustrated" twice in a row, not even Michael and LBJ. But since you have grown up this year, the impact you have had on people
It's too big, especially in the series with the Suns, your performance was even more eye-catching, and it even exceeded your All-Star performance and evolved into a superstar."
"Oh." Wen Hao only said one word, but he was very surprised in his heart. It seems that he is really strong.
"But our plan is still in the conceptual stage. We intend to do this, but it also depends on your performance. If you perform as well as this series in future series, then we will do it in each series.
Choose the most exciting photo in the series and use it as the cover for several issues in a row. In other words, until the end of the Rockets' playoff journey, you will be the protagonist on the cover of every issue."
"Ss--" Yu Song took a breath, "Is it that exaggerated? I think Wen Hao's current achievements have not reached that level. Did you say that even Jordan and James have not achieved two consecutive games?
Having appeared on the cover of "Sports Illustrated" for the first time, Wen Hao may appear on the cover several times in a row, which is too exaggerated."
Edward shook his head: "It's not an exaggeration at all. It is undeniable that Wen Hao has not reached that level yet, but there is a reason. I will tell the truth. You also know that the current NBA president strongly advocates the development of the Chinese market.
For this, he even took a
Chinese name - Xiao Hua. So of course he strongly supports the praise of Chinese players. When he heard that we planned to take a cover photo of Wen Hao, he contacted us and asked us to try our best to do more for you.
These articles have led to the plan for this series of covers.”
When Wen Hao and Yu Song heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. This made sense. Otherwise, although Wen Hao had performed extremely well before, he was still far from the level that would require "Sports Illustrated" to take him on the cover continuously.
This is too scary.
However, Edward immediately said: "But you don't have to be disappointed. With Wen Hao's ability and potential, one day, he will prove to people that he is fully qualified to have Sports Illustrated shoot a series of covers for him. I am optimistic about Wen Hao."
"
Wen Hao said: "Well, I will definitely work hard."
After talking about business, the three of them had something to eat. In fact, they didn’t eat much. To be honest, the food at Owl Restaurant is not very delicious, it is just edible. The reason why Owl Restaurant is so popular is because of its atmosphere.
Fans provide a gathering place.
Coupled with the sexy costumes and hot performances of the Hooters girls, they attracted countless male customers, which made the Hooters restaurant famous all over the world.
After eating, he said goodbye to Edward, and Wen Hao walked quickly to his residence as Elena watched reluctantly.
What he talked about today really made him relax a lot. Next, he has to prepare for the second round against the Lakers. (To be continued.)
