Chapter 114 Before the All-Star Weekend and Taylor's Confession
Chapter 114 Before the All-Star Weekend and Taylor's Confession
"Li Wan, apply for a deal!"
Tyronn's tone was not cold, but when he said these words, Kupchak trembled violently. He didn't know whether it was his body shaking or his heart shaking.
He didn't speak.
Taryn didn't speak any more.
The two of them just listened to the sound of breathing coming from the microphone.
Talon's are pretty even.
Kupchak's breathing was sometimes slow and sometimes rapid.
He thought of the time when he was 19 years old, which was a very distant time at his age.At that time, he broke up with his first girlfriend on the phone, and at the end of the conversation, there was only silence.
This moment is very similar to that moment.
It's just that he is in more pain now!
"understood……"
It is very weak to say this, and Kupchak can't change anything, because he is the promoter of everything.
Of course, he also knew the reason why Li Wan took the initiative to apply for a deal.
It's not just his annoyance that he has been in the trading rumors all the time, but also to a certain extent to ease his embarrassment. At least in the future, Li Wan's departure is partly due to his own reasons for wanting to leave.
He didn't call Chris Wallace right away, but told Old Buss everything first. After thinking for a while, he searched for letters on the text message interface and pressed them slowly one by one. It formed what he wanted to say to Kobe: Li Wan's agent just called, and he wanted to leave the Lakers and go to the Magic.The deal is almost finalized.
In the end, he left Li Wan and sent over the chips he could get in exchange.
Li Wan also got a reply from Tai Lun at this time.
The deal should be solid.
He let out a "hmm", paced slowly, walked to the balcony, leaned on the railing with one hand, and looked out from the railing. The night in Los Angeles was calm with a bit of unrest.
I'm afraid that some people will not be able to sleep tonight.
"Buzz!"
The finger rubbing the mobile phone felt the vibration, and the reason why women like to turn on the vibration has been found.
is a text message.
Bryant's.
Li Wan first glanced at the time when Tai Lun called him, and then at the time when Kobe sent the text message.
Not even 10 minutes.
— 4 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Just a few short words.
Li Wan also simply replied with one word: Yes.
He agreed, this time without any conditions.
Tomorrow is January 1th. After the home game against the Bucks, the Lakers will usher in two "back-to-back" away games. The end of "back-to-back" is the All-Star Weekend.
In other words, this is Li Wan's last 4 a.m. with the Lakers.
Kobe didn't reply again, Li Wan looked up at the sky, and there were a few stars hanging in the night sky.
——Do you want to watch the game tomorrow?This should be my last home game in Los Angeles.
After typing "Da Da Da Da", Li Wan deleted all of them.
This was originally intended to be sent to Taylor Swift, but he knew that Taylor would still be singing at the Grammy awards ceremony on February 2th, and he needed to go through a process and audition on stage tomorrow no matter what.
There should be no time.
Li Wan doesn't like others to bother him, and he won't make things difficult for others.
Looking at the good night message sent by Taylor Swift at 11:[-], without thinking about it, he once again looked at the night in Los Angeles and fell asleep early.
At 3:50 in the morning, Li Wan arrived at the arena as agreed, and Kobe was already practicing there. Seeing him coming, he took a deep look at him: "Come on, rookie, let's start!"
"Dude, looking at you like this, you should have changed your jersey, right?" Li Wan rolled his eyes, "You have been warming up for so long, I just came here...you were the Stark who won in one-on-one. House?"
Jerry Stackhouse, the core of the 96ers before 76, well, he was the "worst junior in North Carolina" who said "Jordan is nothing special", and then was beaten by Jordan on the ground.
About him, there is another widely circulated thing, that is, when Kobe was 17 years old, he was blown up in singles.
Later, Stackhouse himself came out to refute the rumors, saying that it was all fake, and it was impossible to blow it up. He did win, but I didn't give him strength for fear of hurting him.
However, Stackhouse said this after Kobe left, and it is unknown what happened.
Listening to Li Wan's steady trash talk as always, Kobe smiled.
"This is the advantage of being an early riser. You can arrive at the stadium earlier than me. I didn't say no...so come on, rookie." Kobe didn't give in.
Li Wan didn't dawdle any longer.
For him, it is the same whether he is warming up or not, and the result is that he will be blown up.
Since there is no difference, there is no need to warm up, do it earlier, and end earlier.
You ask him, why are you still talking?
Hehe, did the name "Trash Talker" come for nothing?
"Kobe, you are getting worse and worse! In the past two hours, you have only won four rounds of me and allowed me to score five goals..."
Li Wan leaned back, put his hands on the ground, sat on the ground, panting heavily.His strength has softened, but his mouth is still hard.
A person can fall, but a mouth must never fall.
Kobe brought him a bottle of water as usual.
Li Wan was a little surprised...
I don't call him "Pippen" anymore, this guy is still so active?
Real hammer, Kobe is shaking M...
"The transaction... I already know."
Kobe sat down next to him, and after taking a breath, he drank half a bottle of water at once, his tone slow.
On the one hand, he hasn't decided what to say yet, on the other hand, the pressure Li Wan put on him is indeed much greater than the first time, although he still defeated Li Wan with a crushing force, but this time, he really Reservations are gone.
It is foreseeable that this guy should give him a tricky feeling the next time they fight.
"I remember when I was 19 and just getting regular minutes off the Lakers bench."
Kobe wanted to praise Li Wan.
But this guy started to cry, and he was the one who suffered.
When the words came to my lips, they became memories of the past.
"Isn't it true that old people like to recall the past?"
Li Wan's abrupt words successfully received a blank stare.He could hear what Kobe said. He wanted to say that at the age of 19, he was already very good. From the perspective of the status of the team, he surpassed him. At that time, he was still on the bench, and Li Wan was firmly seated. starting position.
But in fact, Kobe just finished the second season of his career and was just 19 years old. The third season was his transition from 19 to 20 years old. The data averaged 50 points, 19.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.
The scoring average is about the same as he is now, a little more rebounds than him, and a little less assists than him.Just looking at the data, there is no obvious disadvantage overall, but there are also few advantages.
"I actually thought you'd leave the Lakers...just not so soon..."
Kobe spit out another truth.
He could see Li Wan's usual performance.
Don't look at this guy who usually has lace news every three days, as if he is just a player in the NBA, but his attitude is here. Every day when there is no game, he will practice for another hour to 1 hour after the daily training. half an hour.
Even though he shocked the league by scoring 52 points in a single game, he did not relax and still maintained his original attitude.
It is impossible for a player who constantly wants to climb up and become stronger to be without ambition.
"If I take back the trade request..." Li Wan looked at Kobe with piercing eyes, "After two years, will you consciously give me the position?"
"Huh~"
Kobe didn't answer, just smiled.
Of course he won't.
Even if Li Wan was already a player of his level at that time, if he wanted the absolute core position, he had to be picked out, otherwise he would not be able to give up the boss position.
Because back then, he also came here like this.
The core of the team... was not given away!
Li Wan's question made Kobe understand that this kid knew him better than he imagined.
Since in two years we still have to compete for the boss position through performance, now that we have the opportunity, why not go out and try?
After chatting, fish-bellied whites appeared outside the window.
Day is coming.
"I probably won't say anything until the day after the All-Star weekend..."
If Kobe doesn't say anything, the deal won't happen.
"Tonight's game, if you don't play well, I won't agree."
Throwing down such a sentence coldly, Kobe got up and left, leaving Li Wan with an aloof look on his back.
This is the arrogant Kobe who wants him to play a beautiful Lakers home game.
"Hey, Kobe!" Li Wan stopped him and stood up, "I exchanged so many people for you, you should thank me, right?"
Paul Gasol and Ariza are players who would have gone to the Lakers.
But neither Nelson Jr. nor white shooter JJ Redick.
With an aggressive No. [-] and a three-point shooter who has been eager to play but has no playing time, the Lakers this season, after this deal, are stronger than they were at the same time.
Kobe stomped his feet, turned his head slightly, and did not turn his head sharply, but Li Wan knew that he was looking at him from the sidelines.
"I actually want you to stay more, you are a great teammate..."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Wan to say anything else, he strode towards the door. It can be seen that he left in a little haste compared to just now.
he……
so awkward.
Especially when Li Wan behind him said "uh, so nasty", he felt even more ashamed of picking the ground with his toes.
This is indeed different from the personality he showed.
And just like Li Wan said...
This is a bit gross.
If Vanessa heard it, she might still look at him with resentful eyes.
You never said such sweet things to me...
So much so that after training in the morning, Kobe, who had returned to his cold expression, still didn't dare to meet Li Wanyou's eyes.
Odom, who is usually very nervous, noticed this keenly. Well, it’s not that he is keen, but... how many times he has coordinated the small conflicts between Kobe and Li Wan, although sometimes it is not helpful. But none of that matters.
The important thing is that he knows what the normal atmosphere between Kobe and Li Wan is like.
Li Wan looked calm, thinking of Kobe's true feelings at that time, he chuckled lightly and did not answer.
In more than half a year, Kobe can reveal his inner soft side. This kind of thing should not be possible for ordinary people, right?
Should he reward a woman for treating himself?
The evening game is coming soon.
Before Kobe nodded, Kupchak did not move. As for the other two, before the deal was about to be concluded, they naturally kept silent and waited silently for the final moment.
Therefore, the outside world does not know that Li Wan is about to leave the Lakers.
The Los Angeles people, as usual, sent enthusiastic cheers.Screams filled the entire Staples, and various rumors from the outside world were flying in the sky. Li Wan, as the protagonist of the transaction rumors, was deeply involved.
A rookie worries about being traded every day.
He should be terrified at this moment, right?
The die-hard Lakers fans felt sorry for Li Wan, and the female fans were full of maternal love. They looked at Li Wan, as if they were looking at a shivering puppy who could not enter the door during a thunderstorm and was hiding in a corner.
Come, come to mother's arms, hug!
It is said that Li Wan's first batch of "mother fans" appeared at this time.
Li Wan just smiled faintly, but Kobe glanced at him from time to time.
On the opposite side, Yi Jianlian took the initiative to say hello to Li Wan. The iconic "subwoofer" was a little vague amidst the roaring shouts of the audience: "Congratulations, Li Wan, for making the All-Star starter!"
Li Wan patted him on the waist and took the initiative to appear closer. Since the last game, Yi Jianlian chatted with him a lot more times. Two, and in another four or five days, we will play together in the Rookie Challenge, and we may play in the Olympics together in the summer, so he thinks there is no problem in giving some responses.
Yi Jianlian's interest is obviously not high.
Domestic fans are very unfriendly to him now, which is exactly what the saying goes: the higher the expectation, the greater the backlash if the performance is not good.
The most important thing is that the media has not realized that Yi Jianlian really needs to make some changes, and they are still touting it.
Their flattery is like the wind that blows wildfire.
In fact, Yi Jianlian's performance has been very good recently, scoring 14 plus points in two consecutive games.But it may be that he is the jewel in the front, and the domestic fans are still unfriendly to him.
Eh?
In this way, did I harm Ah Lian?
Forget it, let's pass penalty kicks to UAE more in the Rookie Challenge!
Then the game officially started.
Lakers starters: Li Wan at No. [-], Kobe Bryant at No. [-], Luke Walton at No. [-], Lamar Odom at No. [-], Kwame Brown at No. [-];
Bucks starters: Mo Williams at No. [-], Michael Reed at No. [-], Draymond Mason at No. [-], Yi Jianlian at No. [-], Bogut at No. [-];
Because it was Li Wan and Yi Jianlian who met on the field, even if this game was not "live broadcast across the United States", there were a lot of media on the scene.
Probably for this reason, Yi Jianlian won the starting plan.
Although his performance in the first two games was good, he came off the bench.
The rookie head coach of the Bucks, Larry Chris Kowiak, now obviously prefers to use "Browless Hero" Villanueva.
But he was really under a lot of pressure.
The Bucks' lineup is not bad, and there are also All-Star players who are at their peak. There are still so many people in the East who are poor, but they still can't make it to the playoffs.
It is also fate.
Over there, you can't lose if you want to lose, but here, you want to win so much, but you can't win!
The Milwaukee media even once thought that the Bucks were looking ahead to next season and wanted to recruit a potential newcomer to train.
The ball was given to the Lakers.
Li Wan took the ball to the frontcourt.
Kobe didn't come out to catch the ball.
Odom's pupils contracted slightly, did the two have such a serious fight this time?
Li Wan faced Mo Williams.
Later, the "Guard with a Sword" is now nicknamed "All Bu Chuan".
Because he always doesn't pass the ball to the United Arab Emirates, that's where it comes from.
His strengths are all on the offensive end, and the defensive end is extremely poor. He is only 1 meters tall, and his speed is not fast.This makes him even the only advantage of shorter players on the defensive end.
Li Wan was not polite either, he took the ball and forced him, stepped closer, created a confrontation with him, easily squeezed away, and entered the inside lane.
The UAE showed his mobility and made up defense in time.
Li Wan took the ball with both hands and pretended to pass the ball outside, which tricked Yi Jianlian into subconsciously chasing the ball outside. After reaching the inside, he hit the ball to Odom.
The latter attracted Bogut and gave the ball to Li Wan.
The ball flew out of Li Wan's hand and bounced into the basket.
Inside "3v1", Bogut is like a clumsy white bear, not knowing which side to defend, so he simply looks up at the basket.
The ball fell right off the rim and hit Bogut in the face.
I covered my nose in pain after being hit by him for a long time, tears almost came out of pain.
Look up again...
The rest of the Bucks didn't notice his discomfort. Mo Williams just made Li Wan so strong, urged Ah Lian to serve, and went to the frontcourt in a hurry. The others were afraid that he would be alone. If you can't play with the five opponents, hurry up and follow in his footsteps.
It wasn't until Mo Williams hit the basket with a shot and everyone returned to defense that they realized...
Oh, so we've been missing someone?
Larry on the sidelines was already covering his forehead.
This is the worst player he has ever brought.
Li Wan took the ball to the frontcourt again, but Kobe still didn't come out to catch the ball. Phil Jackson also noticed this scene, and turned his head to Phil Handy next to him: "You have a better relationship with Kobe. Ask him for me, is he willing to accept dual core?"
Kupchak did a good job of keeping secrets. Only four people in the team knew about it, himself, Li Wan, Kobe Bryant, and Bass. Before the deal was finalized, he didn't tell anyone.
Phil Jackson didn't know either.
At this moment, he was looking at Kobe's actions, and from his understanding, of course he could see that this was deliberately giving Li Wan a chance to perform.
Combined with the current media rumors...
He came to an astonishing conclusion: Kobe was willing to sacrifice for Li Wan!
Otherwise, it's really hard to understand why Kobe did this.
After the first round, Li Wan already knew how to play. He pulled the ball to the outside, slowed down the speed of the dribble, and then signaled his teammates to pull away.
Mo Williams stepped on the three-point line and waited for him, and couldn't help but look around twice. When he saw that there was no one behind him, he felt his ass tightened at that time.
Then focus on Li Wan, who has already dribbled the ball in front of him.
Whoops!
Engage in a sneak attack?
Can't afford to play?
you little...
"Bah!"
With a sound of confrontation, Li Wan squeezed him away to complete the breakthrough.
The Bucks' mid-range area was pulled by the Lakers, unmarked, and he made a handsome jumper.
"Dangdang!"
Odom didn't know what to do, but suddenly pushed Yi Jianlian away, grabbed the rebound, and completed the second attack!
After the fight, he took a look at Kobe to observe his expression.
Look, my little brother threw the ball, I got it in.
Then he gave Li Wan a trusting look: "Brother is here, don't worry!"
Li Wan felt a little pity when he saw that he missed the shot.
But the posture is definitely still handsome!
and……
Is this what being singles feels like?
In the past, Li Wan seldom let his teammates pull away and played one-on-one. His style of play is more suitable for cooperating with his teammates.
Just thinking that after going to the Magic in the future, he should shoulder a certain percentage of singles with the ball, so he tried it in front of Mo Williams, the "meat weapon".
Pull-up jumpers don't feel quite right.
No ball scored...
But Li Wan just felt very comfortable.
Then it was even more out of control. In the first quarter alone, he let his teammates pull away six or seven times, and he played singles with the ball. The efficiency was amazing, 5 of 1 shots!
At the end of the first quarter, Kobe finally couldn't stand it anymore, and pulled him aside: "Stop fucking singles!"
Li Wan had a look of disbelief, that such words could come out of Kobe's mouth!
So what's the matter with your usual ones?
Li Wan asked with his eyes.
His eyes are very bright, and when he stares at Kobe, he is full of confidence: I just learned from you!
Kobe was actually a little guilty.
"I, I stood up at the critical moment and saved the team, can this be the same?"
Then there are words such as "Who can hit [-]% at the critical moment", "Do you think it is easy to play singles at the critical moment?"
Li Wan felt that the atmosphere became happier.
In the second quarter, Li Wan resumed his normal style of play, calling the pick-and-roll, passing the ball after attracting double-teams, and catching and shooting open.
The overall strength of the Bucks is indeed not very strong. In addition, Kobe did not stand up tonight to "freeze" his hands and "freeze" his feet. He consumed physical energy on the offensive end, and all the extra energy was spent on the opposing guard Michael Reed. .
As one of the few shooting guards to stand out in the "post-big four" era.
Michael Reed's main scoring method in college was breakthroughs. It was not until the NBA that he discovered that his "crooked machine gun" could shoot a wide range of shots, and he became a well-known "sharp shooter" in the league.
But he has a dream to bring back the sharp breakthrough he made in college.
So much so that I am a little bit obsessed, and I have the opportunity to break through with the ball, but I definitely don't shoot with the ball.
Standing in front of him was Kobe Bryant, the league's "best defense team". As a result, his scoring efficiency tonight was very low, and he almost sprained his ankle during the period.
To say that this man who squeezed out Ray Allen has a somewhat brittle body.
It is mainly related to his current style of play. He is not a person who can fight high. He belongs to the kind of outside projection like 369 who knows the art of drawing heavy firepower.
His problem is also Yi Jianlian's problem.
The UAE is also unable to engage in NBA-level physical confrontation for a long time, which is related to his unprofessional physical training in the early years. Therefore, some media said that if Yi Jianlian entered the league three years earlier, the result may be very different.
But Yi Jianlian also has a fatal problem. His shooting speed is very slow. Although he has the right aim, his shooting is easy to be interfered or miss the best time.
Before the end of the first half, Yi Jianlian made a "big bird spreading its wings" dunk, which made the players on the Bucks bench stand up and applaud him.
"Asia's No. [-] quality man" is fully reflected at this moment.
Larry was a little taken aback, too.
Then he showed a helpless wry smile.
No matter how high the talent is, the injuries are as fierce as a tiger!
After the start of the second half, Larry put Villanueva more in the lineup in order to chase points.
This lineup has been running in for a longer period of time, and it is indeed more powerful.
This is also the dilemma for Larry. He obviously has a better lineup to use, but because of public opinion and pressure from the management, he must always give Yi Jianlian opportunities to find his status.
If the team doesn't ask for a record, it's fine...
But after the season ended, Larry was fired.
The reason for firing him is that such a lineup did not make it to the playoffs, and his ability was questioned.
The Bucks chased the points in the first half of the third quarter quite aggressively, but then Li Wan, with the "Nervous Knife" badge lit up, used a wave of offensives to score 9 points in a row, which caused cheers from the scene and made the victorious The scales were in favor of the Lakers.
Seeing that there was no hope of winning, Larry put Yi Jianlian on the field again to let him adapt.
Ah Lian, who hastily entered the field, was cold. He ran a few laps on the field and turned back and forth, but nothing was gained, and the game was over.
101 to 89.
The audience cheered, and the fans on the sidelines excitedly waved to Li Wan.
What he stayed at Staples tonight was a perfect record of 24 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
If you don't look at the shooting percentage...
Wave goodbye to all the fans.
Of course, the Los Angeles people at the scene didn't know that this was farewell, and waved to him enthusiastically in response.
Before leaving the field, he went to say hello to Yi Jianlian: "See you at the Rookie Challenge..."
Yi Jianlian scored 7 points and 4 rebounds in this game. His performance was neither good nor bad. It may be that he didn't play much in the second half and the air pressure was much lower than before the game.
Li Wan understood his situation, but he really couldn't offer much help.
When he walked into the player tunnel, a group of reporters rushed up like a swarm of wasps with a "buzz".Their questions were similar, they were all asking about Li Wan’s views on the trade, and the New York reporters showed their advanced vision: “What do you think of the Knicks?”
Before he could answer, the Los Angeles reporter next to him gave him a hard look: "It's not that good!"
Li Wan was successfully amused, but he didn't say anything about the transaction.
When he got home at night, Tyron was already waiting for him at home.
Tomorrow the Lakers fly to New Jersey, and after "back-to-back" games, they will be the All-Stars.
After the All-Star Game, Li Wan should go directly to Orlando.
Tyronn needs to help him send his luggage there first, and help him find a house in Orlando.
Originally, Li Wan planned to buy a house, but considering that Orlando is such a small city and has such a wonderful management team, it is impossible to entrust all of his career to them. Orlando is not like Los Angeles. I don’t know how many years it will take to rent it out. So I decided to rent a house.
"Wait until the All-Star Weekend before moving!"
After Li Wan told him what he needed, he added another sentence at the end.
Now that he is on the cusp, Tai Lun's actions can easily arouse the vigilance of the outside world.
After Tai Lun left, Li Wan went to lie down on the reclining chair on the balcony. When he bought this house, he was attracted by this balcony. As a result, he didn't lie down a few times before the change came.
"Buzz!"
Li Wan took out his phone, it was already 11:40, Taylor sent a text message as usual, Li Wan thought it was "good night" again, but it turned out...
——Li Wan, come to the window quickly.
Eh?
Li Wan was stunned for a moment, and walked towards the window on the other side. He just opened the window when Taylor, who heard the noise, raised his head and met Li Wan's eyes.
The moonlight is very good tonight, the moonlight is bright and clear, and it is very bright.Shining on Taylor's face, she felt a little colder than she was already cold.But seeing Li Wanshi's smile melted the coldness again.
"Isn't there a Grammy tomorrow? You're still awake..." Li Wan looked up at the sky.If you want to look at the stars, there are not many stars.
Soon Li Wan understood that Taylor was nervous about tomorrow's "Best Newcomer Award".
The Grammy "Rookie Award" is actually similar to the NBA's "Best Rookie Award". It is really impossible to say how much status can be improved, but everyone can win it once in a lifetime.
It is precious, but it is also precious.
"Don't worry, this award is definitely not yours, go to bed early..."
Li Wan comforted him.
Taylor looked up: ? ? ?
Apparently she didn't think it was consolation.
"Embrace the worst plan for everything, the lowest expectation, and do your best!"
Taylor's originally speechless face suddenly became more thoughtful, and then nodded as if he had realized something.
"Hey, are you coming back after the All-Star weekend?"
Taylor asked cautiously, her concert has been booked, starting on February 2th, 17 days in Los Angeles, 5 days in New York, and finally a 5-day carnival in Miami ended successfully,
During the 5 days in Los Angeles, Li Wan happened to be free one day.
She wanted to invite Li Wan to the concert.
Li Wan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "After the All-Star Game, I will be traded to Orlando, and I probably won't be able to come back in a short time. I'm sorry, I won't be able to watch your concert..."
Taylor was stunned and didn't speak for a long time. Li Wan's words caused her brain to shut down for a while.
"Pay, deal?"
This was the first sentence that came out of her mind after she went blank.
Li Wan made her look amused, and pressed his hand slightly to make her voice a little softer: "This deal hasn't been formally finalized yet, so don't reveal the secret."
"I'm going to tell you, can't you leave?"
Taylor's response made Li Wan slightly astonished.
This……
Do all singer-songwriters have such a brain circuit?
"Then maybe I have to leave earlier..."
If the news leaks out, the general managers of the three parties will definitely finalize the contract as quickly as possible. I'm afraid that this "back-to-back" Li Wan will not be able to play, so they have to report to the Magic team in advance.
hiss?
Thinking about it this way, it seems to feel better!
Since entering the league, what he is most afraid of now is the "back-to-back" schedule. This is purely for the league to play hooligans in order to make money!
Taylor was silent, not knowing what to say, lying limply on the window, without looking up at him, the atmosphere suddenly became a little cold.
Li Wan didn't say anything more, and told her to rest early, because she had to go to the Grammys tomorrow.
"If you're late because you overslept, you'll be Grammy No. 1!"
The joke was very funny, but Taylor couldn't laugh, so he responded sullenly, and then looked up, Li Wan had already closed the window.
Hey, this man!
Pursing her lips, and then closing the window, Taylor went back to the bedroom. In the dark room, she stood at the foot of the bed and hadn't undressed for a long time. She thought of Li Wan who was lying there sleeping soundly that night.
Think about her encounter with Li Wan and the bad things they did together...
Some fascination only belongs to 19 years old, and she is a bit over the top at 19 years old.
The moonlight shines on the table next to the window, on which a Grammy invitation letter lies quietly.Taylor's eyes flickered, and a bold idea slowly emerged in his heart.
——Will you watch the Grammy live broadcast?
She sent a message to Li Wan.
Li Wan saw the message the next day, simply replied "I will read it", and prepared to go to the airport to gather with his teammates.Before leaving, he specially went to feed the black cat once. This "brother cat" brought him two female stars, but unfortunately, he will never see them again.
What a pity!
It takes more than 5 hours from Los Angeles to New Jersey. The journey is not short, so you have to start early.
Sitting on the plane, Li Wan glanced out the window, not knowing when he would come to Los Angeles next time.
The regular season between the Lakers and the Magic has ended this season, and if they want to meet again, they have to be on the stage of the Finals.
The Magic’s style of play this season has actually just been integrated. Stan Van Gundy looked at the "Mr. Billionaire" and Turkoglu in the lineup, both of whom were reluctant to be placed on the bench, and his brain twitched. Well, Turkoglu played small forward. Unexpectedly, this way, Turkoglu achieved the pinnacle of Turkoglu's career.
This transformation also allowed Stan Van Gundy to change the label of the outside world because of his rigid and horny personality during his coaching of the Heat.
With Li Wan gone, the chemistry has to be reworked.
Just like when Li Wan came to the Lakers, the running-in with Kobe didn't start to spark until January. When he goes to Orlando, it is estimated that the running-in will be the main thing.
It is not easy for such a team to break into the finals from the Celtics, who were the championship champions this season...
Originally, without Li Wan joining, the Magic didn't even make it past the second round of the playoffs this season.
He doesn't think that with his current strength, he can improve the Magic so much at once.
In short, there should be no hope of coming to Los Angeles this season.
As the flight of the plane stabilized, Li Wan's eyes returned to the cabin, looking at Odom and others who were planning to fight in Texas, he suddenly became a little more interested today.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the brothers fell asleep at the end, and suddenly felt very sleepy, and didn't want to play anymore.They still remember Li Wan's "gambling king" card skills that "killed" three players.
To play with him is to send money. With this money, I might as well go to a nightclub and spend money. Going to a nightclub requires a good mental state, so sleep now...
After hearing this, Director Zhang gave a thumbs up and said: This is very reasonable!
After taking a nap in the hotel in the afternoon, Odom knocked on the door and told him to go to the nightclub. He didn't go, not because he wanted to make a deal, but because of subconscious alienation, but...
"Back to back" can't afford to hurt!
To be honest, he really hopes that the template upgrade will be upgraded, and a Hamilton will be able to directly fill up his physical fitness...
At around 7:[-] p.m., the Grammy Awards began, and Li Wan sat in front of the TV, waiting for Taylor Swift to appear.
The "Newcomer Award" is generally awarded at the very front.
It is the same reason that the NBA "best rookie" will have results a day or two after the end of the regular season of each season.
Commonly known as "appetizer".
No, after the opening guests sang the repertoire and awarded a few awards that Li Wan didn't know, they came to the "Best Newcomer Award" awarding session.
The host humorously interacted with several singers who were nominated for the Rookie Award. After stirring up the atmosphere, the award presenters officially announced the results.
"Won the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Newcomer to...Taylor Swift!"
Accompanied by the music playing at the scene, the camera showed Taylor in the first place.
Tonight she was dressed very grandly.
The golden curly hair was turbulent, pouring down one side, revealing half of her delicate face, with a bit of surprise and excitement, she got up to respond to the congratulators and at the same time walked towards the stage microphone under the spotlight.
As she walked out of the seat, the skirt of the tight blue evening dress like a mermaid tail fell down, dragging on the floor, revealing her slender figure. The light shone on the skirt, and the patches like fish scales reflected the light. Let Taylor Swift look, it is so dazzling.
It's hard to imagine that such a woman would look at his photo**.
The applause gradually stopped, and Taylor Swift walked to the middle of the stage, took the "Grammy Newcomer Award" trophy, and hugged it unconsciously.
Grammy Awards for Newcomer...
This is what every rookie wants.
Who doesn't want to be noticed as soon as they make their debut?
Now that Taylor is holding this award, it means that she is recognized by Grammy as the most outstanding newcomer singer in 09!
"I am very happy to receive this award. For me, it represents affirmation and encouragement. I thank my team, producers, and my fans. I will work hard to make better music..."
After a very official acceptance speech, Taylor Swift suddenly looked at the camera directly opposite her.
The director is very experienced, and immediately realized that something big was going to happen...
Gives Taylor Swift a sustained close-up.
Exhaling slightly, she spoke again: "I was very worried about whether I could win this award. A person who has become more and more important to me persuaded me to prepare for the worst, expect the lowest, and do my best. Just do my best...I planed for the worst and won the Grammy Newcomer Award, I am very lucky...At this moment I report with the lowest expectation, I hope our story will not end!"
There are occasional pauses, with a slight trill, and you can feel that Taylor Swift is very nervous and excited, even if her expression is calm and her eyes are bright at this moment...
The hosts at the scene glanced at the judges' seats, and there was a commotion in the audience.
this……
this……
This seems to be a confession, right?
Everyone looked on in amazement. Taylor Swift, who stared at the camera in front of the microphone for more than three seconds, finished what she wanted to say, covered her somewhat low neckline with her hand, and bowed to leave the stage.
When she was about to leave the stage, the group of talents present gave the warmest applause as if awakened from a dream.
Instead, Swift was taken aback.
At this moment, the surprised reaction like a deer made the scene burst into laughter again.
Such a cautious woman did such a bold thing on the stage just now!
19 years old ...
It's really nostalgic!
As for the group of reporters standing at the back, they were gearing up, waiting for the awards ceremony to end, and stepped forward to grab the perfect position to interview Taylor Swift immediately.
They had to pry Taylor's mouth open so she could say that name.
As for what the media want to know, the man Taylor was talking about... is sitting blankly in front of the TV at the moment. Although Taylor didn't say his name, from her message and the phrase "plan for the worst"...
It should be me, right?
Li Wan took out his phone and glanced at Taylor's "Good night every day", if it wasn't for him...
It can only be said that Taylor Swift, the "Sea King", deserves to be able to catch so many "fish".
However, it shouldn't be possible for her acceptance speech at the Grammys to be just "raised fish", right?
Now for a tricky question...
Such a vigorous start, breaking up, will definitely be written into the song, right?
Taylor Swift, famously fell in love in order to write a song, fell in love with each other, and released a song...
Li Wan didn't know what kind of inspiration he could inspire her by then.
but……
Taylor Swift said that the man was really him, and he should agree with Taylor's confession.
With a height of 1 meters, and a delicate and glamorous appearance, the figure is not so "rich", and there is no "airport" on the chest. Most importantly, after so long, can I not?
Then the awards were announced one by one, and the annual Grammys came to an end.
After the party, it was Taylor Swift's confession that made the most noise, but no matter how the reporters pressed him, Taylor always had only one sentence: "I want to know his answer before revealing more. Before, please stop asking about him..."
She remembered what Li Wan said, he was in the trading period, and the fact that he was about to leave Los Angeles was still being kept secret.
Maybe it's because she didn't want to reveal too much, some media thought it was just a show she did for exposure.
Taylor didn't respond to this either. After finishing the interview, under the helpless eyes of the manager, he went back to his nanny's car to change his clothes, then immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Li Wan.
--did you see it yet?
Watching the message being sent, Taylor bit his lip unconsciously, his eyes fixed on the phone without moving, and his whole mood became disturbed.
"Whoa!"
At this moment, the door was pulled open with a harsh sound, and Taylor was so frightened that he shrank his head like a little hamster poking through sawdust to hear the movement.
It's her agent.
The manager, who had a helpless face just now, was very excited at the moment: "Taylor, the NBA officially invited us to sing as guests at the All-Star Weekend!"
At this time, the NBA has already surpassed the influence it had at the beginning of 2000. With the implementation of the "internationalization strategy", the NBA, which became popular abroad, has returned to China, although it still does not surpass baseball and rugby. Domestic influence, that is to catch up quickly, and leave the ice hockey league, which was originally as influential as them, far behind.
Especially the NBA All-Star Weekend is a good opportunity for many stars to expand their overseas popularity.
This is a very good resource for Taylor, who has just won the "Grammy Newcomer Award" and has a certain reputation but is not so popular.
"I heard that it was originally Carrie Underwood who finally decided on us after tonight's Grammy."
Carrie Underwood was the champion of the variety show "American Idol" in 05. The influence of this show is almost equivalent to that of "Super Girl".
In terms of popularity alone, she may be higher than Taylor.
This confession is so good!
The manager laughed so hard that he couldn't close his teeth.
Taylor was a little speechless: "Is it finished?"
Let's go!
The manager saw this sentence in her eyes, and continued to smile, but got out of the car very honestly, and closed the door intimately.
Taylor Swift was the only one left in the car again, and his eyes returned to the phone.
Eh?
I was speechless just looking at the manager, but I didn't notice that Li Wan had already replied to the text message, only one word.
--it is good!
He held his breath for a second.
The word "good" has never been so pleasing to Taylor Swift.
But happy to be happy, as a woman, not only from the East, but also from the West, they are all the same...
Have to ask clearly.
In other words, ask knowingly.
"You are good, what do you mean?"
"Well, that means, congratulations on winning the Newcomer Award, this result is very good..."
"Ah... oh..." Taylor's tone dropped instantly.
"And...our story continues." Li Wan, who teased her, also responded positively to Taylor Swift.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little sour.
However, Li Wan still reminded Taylor that it is best not to say his name before the transaction is completed.
Taylor nodded, giggling.
She didn't know why she laughed, but she was so happy that she wanted to laugh.
The beginning is always wonderful every minute...
The next day, Quanmei began to speculate on who Taylor was confessing to.
It's hard to guess, Taylor is still a newcomer after all, and the usual "shooting resources" of the media are not on her.She still refused to disclose in the face of the media, but she generously admitted that "the confession was successful."
"Are you saying Taylor is lying?"
At noon on the day of the game, Odom had a meal, carefully read the report on Taylor, and looked up at his "little brother" opposite him.
"no!"
"Ok?"
The affirmation in Li Wan's tone stunned Odom, "How do you know?"
Li Wan put a small piece of taco into his mouth, deliberately silent for a while, and when the curiosity in Odom's eyes became more and more intense, he said, "Because Taylor's confession is to me."
"..." Odom stopped cutting the beef, stared at Li Wan for a long time, and laughed out loud, "Haha, buddy, you pretend so much, I was almost fooled by you!"
Li Wan smiled and didn't explain much. The reason why he said it was because he knew that Odom would not believe it.
The guy always thought he was teasing him.
After easily killing the New Jersey Nets in the evening, Li Wan only accepted 10 minutes of interviews that night. Li Wan followed the Lakers and went to Charlotte to challenge the Bobcats "back to back".
Let the lynx be killed by the horse.
What's interesting is that although the Lakers lost "back-to-back" games this time, even when they were physically fit, they lost more than they won against the Bobcats in the regular season in the past two years. No one can explain it clearly. what reason.
Of course, there is another reason for this game, that is, the Lakers' inside line is very dry.
9 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 turnovers.
Li Wan ended his last game before the All-Star Weekend with such an imperfect statistic.
It was also his last game with the Lakers.
Today's 1 is delivered.
