The Basketball Court Swordsman

Los Angeles, the city of angels, the entertainment capital of the world.

The prosperous city of this city naturally does not have to be said by Henson, even Indianapolis, the capital of the fourth largest state in the United States, is slightly inferior to those of Los Angeles.

On the streets of Los Angeles, the head coach of an NBA team won't attract too many people's attention. Because there are too many stars living in Los Angeles, especially in the summer.

Henson and An Jiali had fun all the way, and finally came to the famous Manhattan Beach.

Countless handsome men and beauties, as well as expensive sports cars and luxurious villas on the coast are located next to the beach, and private yachts go to sea one by one, full of rich people and bikini girls.

Don't think this is making a movie, this is the real world. On the edge of Manhattan Beach is the famous wealthy area of ​​Los Angeles and one of the most expensive waterfronts in the United States. The blessed and beautiful seascape has made a large number of wealthy people spend a lot of money here, and the prices here have been rising.

Compared with Santa Monica Beach, Manhattan Beach blocked a large number of tourists due to its super high consumption level. Therefore, it is relatively quieter here, and the scenery is more beautiful.

It was here last year that Henson and An Jiali were secretly photographed by reporters, but now Henson does not care if anyone secretly photographed him. After all, the relationship between An Jiali and him is no longer a secret to the world. The only secret is An Jiali's life experience.

The two changed into swimsuits and walked arm in arm on Manhattan Beach, watching the sun dye the sky red until they all "submerged" into the sea.

"It's so beautiful, no matter how many times you see it, you won't feel bored." An Jiali stared at the sea level, fascinated.

"Really? Then we will buy a villa here in the future and watch the scenery every day."

"It's okay if you're willing, Coach Henson Joe. I'm afraid you didn't make a special trip to take me to travel when you came to Los Angeles this time." An Jiali hung Henson's neck, pretending to be angry.

"how do you know?"

Henson smiled without reason. The level of intelligence of this girl is far beyond one's imagination. He hasn't forgotten how wonderful An Jiali was to throw a party for herself.

"I heard it on the radio. Yi Gee Nian is training in Los Angeles at this time." An Jiali's pronunciation when reading Yi Jianlian's name was so funny that Henson couldn't help but want to laugh.

"So what?" Henson held An Jiali's waist.

"You just traded for Josh McRoberts, so you definitely need a new space-based inside to fill the lineup for you. So, you ran to Los Angeles. And the person who will have dinner with us later is Him!"

"Um...you are so smart, how can I reward you?" Henson said, moving his head towards An Jiali.

An Jiali deliberately pushed Henson away, and then pretended to be angry with her hands around her chest, but this squeezed the gully even more attractively, "If you can put down work and stay with me for two weeks, I will forgive you."

"No, two weeks is too...can't you negotiate?"

Hearing Henson complaining, An Jiali frowned and turned around, seeming to be really angry. Is this guy a straight steel man! ? Wherever you have a girlfriend, you have to bargain! ? Not a trading player!

Seeing An Jiali's expression, Henson smiled instead, "I mean, two weeks is too short. I promise that I will stay with you for this period of time until you get bored."

An Jiali went from being angry to happy in just one second. Her emotions were completely controlled by Henson.

An Jiali hugged Henson tightly, a little worried. He was so sultry that ordinary little girls couldn't resist Henson's temptation to say a few words. In the future, you have to pay more attention...

So, after lying on the beach wearing swimsuits and watching the sunset, An Jiali and Henson changed into formal attire again.

Although tonight is only a private dinner, as the head coach, the first time he meets the players, he should establish a formal and majestic image.

When Yi Jianlian appeared at the gate of the Santa Monica Seafood Restaurant, he still felt a little unnatural.

After all, Yi Jianlian doesn't communicate with Americans very much, and he has never seen that guy before. So suddenly he came to the appointment, he worried that it might be more embarrassing later.

"Sir, do you have an appointment?" The waiter asked enthusiastically, in a very calm tone.

Santa Monica Seafood Restaurant is one of the most famous and luxurious restaurants in Los Angeles. There are countless celebrities who come to eat here. Kobe, Wade, Tom Bruce... these names are familiar all over the world, and they often visit here.

The waiters here are already used to dealing with various stars. Yi Jianlian's coffee position here is obviously not high enough to make the waiter feel nervous.

"Henson... Coach Henson Joe, he has booked a position." Yi Jianlian said hesitantly. People say that one of the obstacles to his development in the NBA is the communication problem. Yao Ming's success depends in part on his ability to quickly integrate into the American collective, but this is actually difficult for most Chinese players, to be exact, most international players.

After all, the huge cultural barriers cannot be broken in three or two days.

After being brought to the second floor of the restaurant by the waiter, Yi Jianlian unexplainably relaxed a lot. The floor-to-ceiling windows here are enough to see the night view of the entire Santa Monica Beach, and the beautiful scenery can undoubtedly make people relax quickly. It's not unreasonable that Henson chose this place.

"Mr. Henson Joe reserved the seat there."

Looking in the direction of the waiter's arm, Yi Jianlian saw a man and a woman who were both familiar and unfamiliar.

The woman wore a long black dress and had an outstanding figure and very beautiful. The man stood up and smiled at himself, his signature smile.

In a black suit with a bunch of big red roses in his chest pocket, Henson's look looks a bit like Marlon Brando's costume in the "Godfather" movie.

The advantage of this dress is that it can psychologically oppress the other party and make the other party immediately respect themselves.

"Coach Henson Joe, it is a great honor to meet you!" Yi Jianlian hurried up to shook hands and greeted him. If others are willing to give face and ask for a meal, then the most basic courtesy Yi Jianlian will be given.

"Don't be so restrained, Lian, just take it out to have a meal with an old friend. By the way, this is my girlfriend, Anjiali Ranadivi."

Yi Jianlian was stunned. It was not because Henson's girlfriend was very young, but because the Chinese coach spoke to himself in very down-to-earth Chinese!

After coming to the United States for a long time, Yi Jianlian is also very clear. Not all ethnic Chinese can speak Chinese, because they have been away from their hometown for too long, and some have never even lived in China.

However, Yi Jianlian's Chinese proficiency at Henson Qiao felt incredible, because Mandarin came out of his mouth without any sense of disobedience!

With just one sentence, Henson broke the sense of estrangement between him and Yi Jianlian! Solving the problem of communication and estrangement is of great help to Yi Jianlian's strength!

"Rana Divi?" Yi Jianlian looked at An Jiali in surprise, the young and beautiful woman with mixed-race beauty.

"Yes, it's Rana Divi. She is the daughter of my boss, so you have to keep it secret to me." With a little joke, Henson brought Yi Jianlian and himself closer.

Sharing secrets with each other is the best way to get closer!

"I don't know how you speak Chinese so well." Yi Jianlian smiled relaxedly, and also communicated with Henson in Chinese.

"After all, I grew up in China. Some things are deeply ingrained in my mind and will never be forgotten. By the way, Ah Lian, I don’t like to scribble around. I asked you to come out for dinner today," Henson said, moving towards Leaning on the chair, "I want to find a space-based No. 4 position that can help the team go further. I am very optimistic about you."

Henson knew that Yi Jianlian was not good at talking, so he tried to make complex conversations as simple as possible, which is actually more conducive to the exchanges between the two parties.

Yi Jianlian was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that the other party asked him to find him, he didn't expect Henson to say so directly. Moreover, it was just when the labor negotiations broke down.

"Tall, excellent technique, shooting ability... These are all in line with my tactical requirements. The only thing you need to improve is the confrontation ability, but don't worry, I will not ask you to go inside and other Humans fight hand-to-hand. In this regard, I will not put you too much pressure."

Henson and Yi Jianlian's Chinese conversation An Jiali couldn't understand a single sentence, so she had to laugh all the way, and then hoped that the waiter would bring the dishes quickly and end the conversation that she couldn't talk about.

"However, if the labor-management negotiation breaks down again, I may return to China to play." Yi Jianlian opened his hands, and he did not intend to hide from Henson.

This is why Henson needs to meet with Yi Jianlian alone, and Yi Jianlian himself will not hide from Henson. And Yi Jianlian's American manager Feigen... is really difficult to deal with.

"It's okay. I believe that Chinese clubs will not deprive you of the right to play in the United States. Before the labor negotiations are over, where you want to play is your freedom. What I care about is whether you will join after labor negotiations. My team? I heard that your manager Feigan is currently promoting the Mavericks and Howard's signing. As a price of goodwill, he is likely to get you to the Mavericks. If that is the case, then I I hope you can reject him. After all, I only use players that I think are useful. So only in Indianapolis, your playing time can be guaranteed."

As soon as Henson finished speaking, the waiter served a seafood dinner, and An Jiali raised the knife and fork very unfairly.

Yi Jianlian looked at the steaming food, pondering what Henson said.

In playing time, this term is just as attractive to Yi Jianlian as these delicacies.
