Chapter 240： that 1 basketball

Just as the loose coffee was in his hand, before his **** touched the chair, a tall figure appeared across the road.

How tall is it? Tim took a sip of coffee, narrowed his eyes, and began to look up and down people. This is his favorite thing to do. As the center of Los Angeles, Staples has a variety of people passing by every day. Here For 22 years, he can't remember how many people he has seen.

With the eyesight that Tim has cultivated for so many years at the Staples gate, it is easy to predict that he is definitely more than 215 cm. Even now, Bynum, the first height of the Los Angeles Lakers, should not be as tall as him.

And also handsome.

The visitor is very young, with strong legs and feet, wearing a dark woolen coat, you don't need to look carefully to know that it is worth a lot, with black hair hanging down on his forehead but not looking scattered, although wearing a mask, it is still not difficult to see the mask. There should be a good appearance under the 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 who come here. Who is really good-looking, Tim can tell at a glance, and he has hardly seen them.

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

The only exception is the basketball in his hand, which is worn out, even the leather is worn away, and the whole is black. From a distance, you can't even tell whether it is a ball or not, which is incompatible with his temperament. , like **** picked up from the ground.

"Could it be that rich people have such quirks... like picking up trash?" Tim complained silently in his heart.

At this moment, the visitor had already walked to his booth, squatted in front of the booth, 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, right there, one...one...a dollar." Tim was shocked by this face, his eyes were really good, the guy was really handsome, and it was perfectly fine to go to Hollywood next door, but The important thing is that he has seen this face countless times in the newspapers!

Left standing!

The Knicks and even the super rookie of the entire NBA league, in less than 30 games, have achieved a reputation that no one else can achieve in a lifetime.

He just led his team to the top of the league after a lapse of 38 years, and was hailed as the most potential supernova in the next decade by ESPN and many other media.

How could he be here!

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

"Okay, thank you uncle!" The person put down a dollar, picked up a copy of Sports Illustrated, and watched.

"This, boy, sit here and watch." Tim handed Zuo Li his bench.

"Ah, thank you uncle." Zuo Li was not polite, he was indeed a little tired after a night's flight.

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

Wouldn't he have punched in just to come to Staples? Didn't he just come here?

But too late to think about it, the business came one by one.

Today's business is obviously better. It may be because of the holiday. Many fans run here to check in early in the morning, buy a newspaper, and buy a breakfast on the street. .

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

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

"Goodbye uncle, thank you for the stool."

"Ah, you're welcome, welcome to come back later." Tim waved.

Two high school students came together and passed by Zuo Li, wearing Nike and Adi's feet, and the dreadlocks ball uniform is standard, and it looks like a basketball player.

The two came to the booth and also bought a newspaper, which contained news about Zuo Li and the Knicks, which filled almost the entire front page.

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

"Indeed, it's really boring to be able to turn to the first in the league."

"But this year's championship is still the Lakers, and the Knicks are still too young."

"I agree, but Zuo Li is still very good. He plays, he is so handsome!"

"Hey, hey, you won't betray!"

"What's wrong with betrayal, Zuo Li was a streetball king before, I've been a fan of him for a long time, just like his shoes, otherwise I would wear them out."

"Hey, AND1 can't work anymore, it's all up to Zuo Li, it's time to leave in two years, don't worry."

"But then I really want to watch Zuo Li play live. It was too expensive before, and the tickets couldn't be bought at all."

"Hey, lore, 50+, I will have this day in the future too."

…

"Hehehe, the star you are thinking of, but just passed you by, but Zuo Li is really famous, there are fans in Los Angeles, tsk tsk tsk, terrible newcomer." Tim will leave the rest He drank his coffee and looked at the billboard on the side, which was a preview of the Christmas battle. The heads of Kobe and Garnett were very conspicuous.

Yeah, who would have thought that New York, oh no, now the hottest star in America in recent days would come to Los Angeles before the Christmas fight.

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

The basketball that the goat left to Zuo Li before he left, and a letter, which has been well preserved by Zuo Li for so many years. The letter mentioned the agreement between him and Kareem, and passed this agreement to Zuo Li.

This time, Zuo Li came to visit Jabbar!

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

"It's time for a new generation again!" Tim lay on the chair, squinting, the sky was getting bluer.

…

The camera zoomed out, and Zuo Li sent Ao Mei back home. Although Ao Mei wanted to go with Zuo Li, Ao Mei, who had been flying all night, did not have the energy of Zuo Li, so two People agreed to spend Christmas Eve together at night.

Leaving Aomei's mansion, Zuo Li called someone.

"Hey, why are you calling me, what's the matter?"

"Huh? Kareem? I see. I'll send you the address. Are you in Los Angeles?"

"Okay, when you're done, let's have a heads-up?"

"Next time, this time I'm in a hurry! That's it!"

"As expected of you, you are so energetic early in the morning... I don't even ask why, it's really awesome." Zuo Li hurriedly hung up the phone, and the number displayed was: Kobe Bryant!

This is after that game, in addition to changing jerseys, the two also changed their phone numbers.

After getting the address, Zuo Li also finally arrived at the destination of this trip, Jabbar's mansion!
