Chapter 356 The passion of Los Angeles(1/2)
The scene was a little awkward at one point.
Fortunately, Sun Hao is a person who knows how to resolve embarrassment.
He said he wanted to discuss important things with Kupchek and asked Bell to take the others to the hotel first.
Don't say it, Kupchek really has something to discuss with Sun Hao.
The Lakers are still missing a forward guard and swinging man. Kupchek finally circled a few people and wanted Sun Hao to give some advice.
The free market has ended, and most of the players who have not signed contracts at this time have no market.
However, among these people, Sun Hao found a very eye-catching name.
Damon Jones.
Jones's strength and fame are average in the NBA, but domestic fans are very familiar with him.
This standard homeless man who has played for ten teams in his ten years of career, and the only team that has played for more than one year is the Cavaliers.
Because of James, he has gained popularity in the country.
Of course, what really makes people remember him is the advertisement he endorsed Li Ning.
With a slap of the basketball, there are tall buildings under your feet.
What is a failure in the draft?
360° roundabout kick in the air.
What is sitting on a bench?
The ball was thrown out and smashed through everything.
What is a challenge?
Enjoy every challenge, nothing can stop me from the way!
It can be said that Li Ning could shoot advertisements of that level in that era.
Jones is also well known to many people because of that advertisement.
"How come he hasn't signed the contract yet?"
Sun Hao couldn't help but ask.
If he remembers correctly, Jones signed the Heat this year.
It was also because of the Heat's highest performance in their career and then signed a four-year fat contract with the Cavaliers.
"He has several offers, but he is waiting for our reply."
Kupchek's answer made Sun Hao a little confused.
Jones has a special liking for the Lakers?
"His girlfriend is Tina Thompson, who is now playing for the Sparks and they have a good relationship."
Kupchek seemed to see Sun Hao's doubts and also gave an answer.
So that's it!
Tina Thompson, anyone who pays a little attention to the WNBA should know that this legendary star was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018.
In Beijing in 2008, he also helped the United States win the championship successfully.
Unexpectedly, Jones turned out to be his boyfriend!
And in order to play with Thompson, Jones was actually willing to wait.
There is a lover.
“I think Jones is a very good choice.”
Sun Hao gave his own advice.
It is already a very lucky thing to be able to pick up role players of Jones at this time, and what other bicycles are needed.
Kupchek nodded.
The reason he didn't agree to Jones immediately before was because Jones' reputation was not particularly good.
According to his previous team, Jones has a more ostentatious personality.
But since Sun Hao was interested, he didn't say anything.
There are many people with a striking personality in NBA players, but it depends on who they play.
While they were chatting, the car boarded the ring road.
Los Angeles is a coastal city, and several beaches are famous throughout the United States.
Especially Santa Monica Beach, I won’t mention the beauty of summer bikini. The Ferris wheels there are very famous and you can see from top to bottom...
At this time, they turned around in the car and looked out, and they could see the scene of the sea and sky line, which was very beautiful.
But at this moment, Sun Hao suddenly saw something unexpected.
It is a very common operation to set up a billboard on the side of the Ring Road. Sun Hao saw the largest billboard at this time, and he was clearly seen!
And there were a few very eye-catching slogans written next to his figure.
The.sun.shines.on.the.Los.Angeles!
Translated into Chinese, the sun shines on Los Angeles!
Moreover, as the car kept moving forward, Sun Hao also saw similar billboards on various sections of the road.
His card is a bit big!
"You did this too?"
Sun Hao turned around and looked at Kupchek.
This is not a lick, it is a licking circle!
"I don't have this energy."
But this time, Sun Hao misunderstood Kupchek.
He can do it by erecting one or two billboards, but there are so many, and only the local government has the right to have on each section of the road.
"This is a petition from Los Angeles fans who raised money and then launched a petition to the government. Los Angeles Mayor Villalegosa also supports this petition very much, and then that's what you see, of course, it's just the tip of the iceberg."
Sun Hao felt very shocked when he heard Kupchek finishing this.
Especially, there are scenes he first arrived in Dallas for comparison.
Although his fame at the time was not comparable to that now, this difference still touched him.
The enthusiasm of one city further highlights the coldness of another city.
The car arrived outside the Staples Center, and it was here that Sun Hao met a large number of fans.
Many people even held his big-headed KT board and posters, which painted pictures of his three-point shooting and his signature gun blowing.
Those people are different from those dressed at the airport. Whether in terms of quantity or status, they can be seen that they are organized spontaneously.
Sun Hao suddenly regretted asking Bell to take them Curry away first.
He is so popular in Los Angeles!
He underestimated himself.
"They know you'll come today, and you've been here early, and some of them come early in the morning."
Kupchek's words moved him even more.
He was very nostalgic when he went back to Dallas, but now he feels like he is already a Laker.
It’s not that he has no feelings, but because of his feelings, he cannot be indifferent to this enthusiasm.
After getting off the car, Sun Hao also patiently took photos with the fans, which made the crowd more enthusiastic.
I have long heard that Sun Hao is a very good star to the fans, and his gratitude to the fans will never be missing in his award speech.
Now seeing the real person is really worthy of his name.
Kupchek was laughing while watching.
There are indeed not many NBA stars and fans so close. This may not be a good thing if you change to other cities, but it seems too special in Los Angeles.
After the fans' meeting ended, Kupchek led Sun Hao to visit the Staples Center.
This is not the first time Sun Hao has come to this stadium. He has played a lot with the Lakers in the past four years.
However, this is his first time entering the home team's locker room.
Although it is not as luxurious as the home team locker room in Dallas, the facilities inside are quite complete.
The big "kers" icon on the ground made the entire locker room even more full of historical atmosphere.
There are two doors in the locker room. Unlike the Mavericks, neither of these two doors connect to the training ground.
There is a video room on one side, and there is a power room on the other side.
