"Xiao Tang, I have already taken care of your parents' matter. The flight on April 1st will go directly from Shanghai to Los Angeles International Airport."
"Thank you, Coach Li." Finally, I could finally let go of what I had been worried about for many days.
Tang Qian's thanks came from the bottom of his heart.
Because he knew that without Li Qiuping's help, his parents' visas and passports would not have been issued so quickly. There is no way, China is such a "human society" and "face society". If you follow the "rules and regulations" in everything, then
It’s guaranteed to drag you down physically and mentally, and make you anxious and anxious.
"Xiao Tang, look at the London Olympics coming soon..."
"Coach Li, let's not talk about this matter for now. Let's wait until my parents arrive in the United States safely." Tang Qian seemed to know what Li Qiuping wanted to say, and cut off the other party's words without hesitation.
"Oh, okay, okay." Li Qiuping saw that Tang Qian was very resistant and did not force himself to continue.
Phew~
After hanging up the phone, Tang Qian slowly exhaled. He raised his head and looked in the east direction. The lights were dim, and he didn't know what this handsome-faced oriental boy was thinking in his mind.
Lakers, general manager's office.
"Mr. Kupchak, this is the statistics table of the game against the Thunder. You can take a look at it." The female secretary, Laurie Berank, said softly, don't think that European and American women are all "brutalists"
"In fact, they are also gentle sometimes. And they are not much worse than Asians.
"Well, you put it on the table, Laurie. I already know the basic data." Mitch Kupchak smoked a cigar and put one hand in his trouser pocket.
"Oh, one more thing, Mr. Kupchak." Lauri Bailanke said: "Mike Brown wants me to ask you, it has been two games, how should we continue on the 29th?"
Mitch Kupchak took a puff of his cigar and said slowly: "I will arrange a brief press conference tomorrow and I will personally answer this question."
"Okay, I remember, I will make plans before tomorrow, sir." Laurie Blank said.
"You go out and do your work first." Mitch Kupchak issued an "expulsion order".
Laurie Blank had followed him for so long, so she naturally knew what this man meant. She didn't say anything more, just nodded, then respectfully closed the door and quietly exited the Lakers general manager's office.
"Is China hot? You win this game." Mitch Kupchak looked at the sky outside the glass and thought to himself.
On March 31, 2012, Mitch Kupchak publicly expressed his views and opinions on "hot money" through a press conference.
"Los Angeles Times" - Kupchak personally came forward to clarify that the atmosphere within the Lakers team is good and Lakers fans should not worry.
"Lakers Nation" - China Hot is an excellent basketball player, and the Lakers will give any outstanding athlete a chance, Mitch Kupchak said.
"Bleachers" - Lakers general manager's "favorite candidate"? Is he called hot money?
ESPN also expressed its views on the matter:
Is Mitch Kupchak getting old? A review of the Lakers general manager’s frequent mistakes this year!
He is far inferior to Jerry West, a Lakers insider said!
If the NBA also has a Golden Raspberry Award, then this award will not be owned by Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak this season!
Barkley said as always: Mitch Kupchak finally did the right thing this season! Let Feng completely replace Murphy, the Lakers are enough to become a strong team in the second round!
Kenny Smith @ him on Twitter at this time and said: Charles, do you think the Lakers can't reach the Western Conference Finals this year?
Soon, his tweet received a reply from Barkley: Kenny, it’s hard to say this year. The Spurs, Thunder, Mavericks, and Clippers are all strong teams. Who do you think the Lakers can easily defeat?
That night, the Lakers faced the New Orleans Hornets at home.
The New Orleans Hornets this season are a completely bad team. Since "Queen Bee" Chris Paul left the team, the Hornets have been in a state of decline. This season they rank last in the Western Conference and second last in the league, only beating the Charlotte Bobcats.
.And what kind of team are the Charlotte Bobcats this season? The winning rate is 10.6%, just over 10%. It is lower than the 76ers in the 1972-73 season. It is truly the team with the worst winning rate in NBA history.
, no one! So after beating such a bad team, the Hornets have nothing to be proud of.
Look at the lineup the Lakers face tonight, point guard Jarrett Jack, shooting guard Marco Belinelli, small forward Lance Thomas, power forward Al Farooq Aminu, center
Jason Smith is such a group of people who can only play as substitutes in other teams, but in New Orleans this year, they are all starting. Their overall strength is already inferior to a certain extent.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Lakers beat the Hornets. Pau Gasol was the biggest contributor to the Lakers' victory tonight, with 21 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, demonstrating his strength as a top ten PF in the league.
Bynum's performance is also remarkable, with 19 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, completely destroying the opponent's center Jason Smith. Kobe, on the other hand, suffered from a shoulder injury tonight, but he forced
He played with an injury, so the entire shooting touch was very cold. He only made 3 of 21 shots, with a shooting percentage of 14.3%, which made his face a little ugly. Fortunately, Kobe got 7 extra assists, which made him
The data column is a little brighter.
As for Tang Qian, tonight is also a "data night". Since his opponent Chris Johnson is really too weak, Tang Qian also turned on the bronze agility card and "big brush". Although the score was only 5
points, but the data of 18 rebounds and 4 blocks are impressive enough. The Lakers' "new three-high" power under the basket should not be underestimated.
Throughout the game, the New Orleans Hornets were unable to fight back and were constantly suppressed by the Los Angeles Lakers.
until the end of the game.
With the victory in this game, the Lakers have returned to the top three in the Western Conference, but the gap between fourth and fifth place is only between 0.5 and 1.0 games.
So there is still a risk of being pulled down anytime and anywhere.
Don't be careless at all.
April 1st was originally a day that Tang Qian was looking forward to, but suddenly, he realized something was wrong.
On the night of April 1st, the Lakers had back-to-back games at home, against the Golden State Warriors.
So calculating the time, I can’t get to Los Angeles International Airport on time!
Tang Qian originally wanted to ask for leave from Mike Brown, but unfortunately he was severely rejected by the latter!
Mike Brown's words are simple. This is a critical moment for the team to hit the playoff rankings, and no one must be absent without reason.
Seeing that Mike Brown would not allow leave, Tang Qian was so anxious that he could only "ask for help" from Taylor Swift.
But unfortunately, no one answered Taylor Swift's cell phone.
After making 3 to 4 phone calls, Tang Qian had no choice but to give up on this candidate.
What should I do? Who should I go to? Who else do I know in Los Angeles?
Tang Qian is a bit like an ant on a hot pot.
At this moment, a push message on his phone made Tang Qian's eyes suddenly brighten.
Stallone's 2012 masterpiece, The Expendables 2, was in theaters four months later.
