Chapter 386 Lakers VS Rockets

After visiting the "father-in-law" Rupert Murdoch, Wan Sheng and Anita went to the booked hotel to rest. The next day, Anita was about to fly back to New York.

Wan Sheng sent Anita to the airport, and after returning, there was only one person left.

He was a little helpless.

Now is not the time to be in the UK. Anita is the CEO of the billion-dollar Dow Jones. Even though she has not officially taken over all the jobs, she is still quite busy. It is not easy to take two days off.

Wansheng was also moved when he thought of Anita's reluctance before leaving.

He supports Anita's career. Everyone has his own career. He doesn't want Anita to give up his career. He also likes that strong woman, not a housewife.

But the result is that now he can only be alone.

Wan Sheng originally planned to stay in Los Angeles with Anita for two days, and the air tickets had been booked. Anita's departure means that he would stay in Los Angeles alone for one more day.

After walking out of the airport gate, Wansheng suddenly felt no more sad, but was very relaxed.

Whether in Manchester or after meeting Anita in New York, his time was arranged. Even the time spent alone with Anita was limited, but now he has a rare day of leisure, especially in the bustling Los Angeles.

This is Wansheng's first time in Los Angeles, and to him, this city is completely unfamiliar.

He walked alone on the street and experienced the city's style.

The feeling at this time is completely different.

When he was in Manchester, whenever he walked alone on the street, he would encounter various things, such as reporter interviews, players required autographs, groups of people watched, etc. He was also a celebrity, and it was difficult for him to enjoy the tranquility of ordinary people as a celebrity.

No need now.

Almost no one knows him in the city of Los Angeles, at least not on the street.

When he walked on the street, he was no different from other passers-by. This rare feeling made Wansheng enjoy it. He walked through three streets in a row and felt a little tired, so he planned to find a taxi to carry.

“Where are you going?”

Wan Sheng looked around and saw several fans wearing basketball uniforms walking by, saying, "There is a Lakers game today, let's go and watch the game!"

"Which team is the opponent?"

"Rocket!"

"Then go and see, Kobe will definitely beat them up!"

“I admire the most…”

“…………”

Listening to the sporadic conversation, Wan Sheng thought about what he should do. He has come to the United States. Isn’t it a waste of not going to watch a basketball game? Especially Kobe’s game, Kobe is a famous star. It’s good to go and watch the live version.

Wansheng took a taxi directly to the nearby sports goods store, and when he came out, he had completely changed his clothes.

He wore a long-sleeved T-shirt with the Lakers logo, a sun hat with the Lakers logo on his head, and a sports wrist guard, dressed like a Lakers fan. Then he walked towards the stadium where the game was held. When he arrived at the door, an embarrassing thing happened. He had no tickets to the game at all, and the ticket window for physical tickets had been closed long ago.

Wansheng walked outside the venue with a little depressed feeling.

At this moment, a black man wearing sunglasses came over, looked around, followed Wan Sheng, and asked casually, "Hello, my name is Elvin. Do you want to buy a football ticket?"

Wan Sheng was stunned and immediately understood.

It is illegal to buy scalper tickets in the United States. He hesitated for a moment. When he was hesitating, Elvin and he were walking to the corner and just avoiding the police's sight. At this time, Elvin said, "I have one left here to ensure safety. But it's a bit expensive. Do you want it?"

"How much?"

“$900.”

Wan Sheng was shocked by the price. He thought that this 'scalper' was too dark, and only Erwin explained, "This is the front seat. I saw your clothes and knew that he was a rich man. He definitely didn't care about this little money. This is the last one. How about it?"

Wan Sheng thought for a while and said, "I want $700."

"That's impossible. This is the best position, $800, just sell it when I lose."

Wan Sheng rolled his eyes and didn't care about it so much. He took out the banknotes and directly pointed out eight pieces, handed over the money and the other, and then left directly.

Elvin hurriedly put the money in his pocket.

Soon a young Chinese man wearing glasses ran over and asked, "Tim, how about it? Did you sell it?"

"Zhang! Don't worry if I do my business!"

"Haha." The young Chinese man said happily, "I just said, it's definitely right to sell it to Chinese people. There are many Chinese people coming to the United States. That guy is a rich man at first glance. Looking at the watch in his hand, it's worth thousands of dollars. This is a game between the Lakers and the Rockets, and they all come to Yao Ming to play."

Elvin was a little confused, "But that guy just now seemed to be wearing a Lakers jersey?"

"He is not necessarily a Rockets fan when watching Yao Ming's game!"

Elvin touched his cheek, his mind was a little unsteady, and finally said, "Don't matter, we sold it anyway, $300, we've earned all our tickets back. Zhang, you really have a brain. Let's go, we'll go in, the game is about to begin!"

Nodded and suddenly said, "But I always feel that the person just now is a little familiar..."

Wan Sheng didn't know that he had earned $300 by the "scalper", but he was very satisfied with this position.

The second row is on the left side, so you can watch the game clearly and even hear the voices on the coach's seat. If ordinary fans are in this position, they can get to the players, which is very convenient to find players to sign. In other words, the positions of these hundreds of dollars are still because of their high price.

Thinking of this, Wansheng felt balanced.

At this time, Wan Sheng was sitting among the Lakers fans, with strong men and beautiful women on both sides. Many of them were wearing jerseys with the Lakers logo, as if they were here to support the Lakers. Although he was Chinese, it didn't seem surprising to sit in it, but instead he looked like an ordinary fan.

With the end of the pre-match dance, the players of both teams came on the stage.

It was not until this time that Wan Sheng realized that he was watching the game between the Lakers and the Rockets.

All he had been thinking about before was basketball games, the only thing he knew was that the Lakers had Kobe, but he didn't expect that the opponent was the Rockets - Houston Rockets, Yao Mingke was in the Rockets!

Looking at Yao Ming, who was more than two meters tall, Wan Sheng felt that this trip was worthwhile.

He just watched a game, but he could see Yao Ming up close. Yao Ming is not a legendary star of the NBA, but in China, Yao Ming is the most legendary basketball player.

When Wan Sheng learned that the Lakers and the Rockets were playing against the Rockets, he just wanted to watch a basketball game and leaned towards the visiting Rockets, or perhaps towards Yao Ming.

So when he saw Yao Ming staring at the defense and scoring a goal, Wan Sheng couldn't help but yell with the scattered Rockets fans on the opposite side, "Good ball!", and the Lakers fans around him glared at him.

Wan Sheng smiled awkwardly and then said, "I just saw Yao Ming score a good goal..."

Others don't believe this explanation at all.

That Chinese face can easily make people think that he is here to support Yao Ming. Wan Sheng could only spread his hands and admit, "Okay, I just did the wrong position. Actually, I am here to support Yao Ming."

The Lakers fans around him stared at him in dissatisfaction.

The chaos in the stands of the fans also attracted the attention of the media. Soon the camera pointed at it. The Chinese commentator who was broadcasting the game was immediately surprised and said, "Is that Wansheng?"

"Wansheng! That's right, it's Wansheng! Move over and look at the other side, over there..."

The staff who controlled the camera lens immediately fixed the perspective at Wan Sheng's position. At this time, the fans and viewers in front of the TV also noticed that they were sure, "It's Wan Sheng!"

"Why is Wansheng here?"

"He's not coaching in Manchester... he's a lie..."

Seeing the camera constantly pointing at him, Wan Sheng was helpless. He knew that he was recognized, and the American media generally did not recognize him. Unfortunately, this game was the Lakers vs. Rockets. The Houston Rockets had Yao Ming, and there would be Chinese media. He was definitely no less than the appearance rate of first-tier stars in the Chinese media.

It's no surprise that they can recognize themselves.

The American media also noticed the abnormality of Chinese journalists. The espn TV station, which broadcasts the game, immediately faces the picture in that direction. The commentator Barker is not familiar with football, and is even more familiar with Wansheng. He wonders, "Is this Chinese with a hat a Chinese celebrity?"

It was not until a staff member brought the information that Barker said, "It turns out that he is a European football man, a football coach, and is very famous. The Manchester City team he led won the Premier League championship last season. Moreover, the British star David Beckham who played for the Los Angeles Galaxy was his player last year..."

After reading this, Barkel suddenly felt that this guy really has a background!

But Barker has always liked to tease celebrities, so he said proudly, "Although he is very famous in China, perhaps in Europe, this is the United States and Los Angeles, he is just an ordinary fan. I guess he is here to appreciate the world's top NBA professional basketball..."

As soon as this disdainful words were spoken, they were immediately stopped by their colleagues.

The colleague next to him kept gesturing. Barker was a little confused, and didn't quite understand what his colleague meant. Then he looked down at the information and saw a special note behind it - CEO James Murdoch's sister, now the fiancé of Anita Murdoch, and the chairman of Tagorevan Group.

Barker suddenly burst into a cold sweat. (To be continued.)
