Chapter 220: A Trip to the Casino, Seeking Support)(1/2)
Las Vegas is a strange attraction. People who come to the United States for the first time may not know big cities like Boston and Philadelphia except Los Angeles and New York, but they definitely know and yearn for Las Vegas.
In addition to the title of the world's number one casino, the all-pervasive American culture has already rendered this place into a bizarre, colorful, and sleepless city.
Several unimaginably huge casinos decorate the facade of Las Vegas, sightseeing helicopters are always cruising in the sky, and huge light boxes that never go out make the main street lined with casinos full of temptation.
When Keyan and his party arrived in Las Vegas, it was already evening. They put away their bags at the hotel and took a short rest. The night world of lights and feasting had just begun.
The neon lights in the entire city are all on, and the neon lights are ever-changing and colorful.
When you are indoors, you may not feel anything special. At most, you may feel that the lights are bright, making the gorgeous decorations even more splendid.
But when I went out to the street and saw the scene around me, I found that the tall buildings were all emitting colorful lights. The night seemed to have turned into day, and the rainbow lights were like countless stars in the sky. After a while,
Red, sometimes green, sometimes half purple and half yellow, like a rainbow or a flower, the shapes are endlessly changing, ups and downs, making people dazzled and lost in this bustling night.
Activities similar to garden parties are held once or twice a week in Los Angeles, but in Las Vegas there are various activities every day. After seeing all kinds of shows and casino buildings in various styles, Wang Lifan and Ke Yan agreed.
It reminds me that the first time the two met was in this kind of environment.
Fast forward more than two years, and the relationship between the two people has also made rapid progress. The only thing that remains unchanged is that no matter then or now, there is a big light bulb around them!
After seeing the magic of the casino, Huo Qingshu was so excited that he completely forgot that he was still sad about "leaving home to celebrate the Spring Festival" on the plane.
But after playing for a while, Huo Qingshu felt a little worried about money. You really have to be careful with your wallet here. Slot machines everywhere are waiting to swallow your green tickets. You know, this is just foreplay, and you haven’t entered the casino yet!
Finally, the three of them walked to the famous musical fountain and stopped to watch the bohemian performance.
This is the largest musical fountain in the world. The beautiful scenery and wonderful performances made the three people who were late all night stop and watch for a long time.
The three of them stood under the vent, with water mist spraying on them from time to time. Huo Qingshu shivered and felt a little cold. Seeing this, Ke Yan took off his coat and asked Wang Lifan to put it on for her.
After putting on his coat, Huo Qingshu was a little embarrassed, glanced at Key Yan, and said with a smile: "Thanks, Key Yan, I'm really happy today!"
Ke Yan smiled and said, "Are you all tired?"
"A bit. Do we want to go back?" Wang Lifan looked at Huo Qingshu and replied after confirming his eyes.
"Um."

After Valentine's Day, starting from February 15th, Ke Yan's time is no longer entirely his own. Various photo-taking activities and interview activities are arranged very tightly. The league holds All-Star Weekend, mainly to expand its influence and promote the NBA.
, it’s not really for the stars to enjoy their holidays!
As the most popular and talked-about coach in the league, and in time for the traditional Chinese New Year, Ke Yan is as busy as those All-Star players.
Ke Yan accepted an exclusive interview with a Chinese reporter, firstly to promote the NBA All-Star Game, and secondly to wish the people of the country New Year!
"This is my first opportunity to participate in the All-Star Game. This kind of game is very special. I don't need to arrange complicated tactics. I only need to enjoy a visual feast at close range. This should be rare in my coaching career.
Experience the opportunity." Keyan said.
"Do you care about the outcome of the game?" the reporter asked.
"I've been winning recently and I've been very lucky. If you want to conserve your character and lose one game, let's lose this one, haha~" Ke Yan joked.
"This is not like what your scientist said." The reporter said seriously.
"???" Ke Yan put on a surprised expression and pointed at the other party, "You.
.
.
Are you teaching me how to do something?"
On the night of the 15th, it was the "Celebrity Game" performance organized by the NBA in order to expand its influence. Except for some retired NBA players, Ke Yan did not know other "celebrities". He did not have the spirit of entertainment in this area and could not stand this kind of performance.
"Rookies peck each other", Ke Yan did not watch the battle live, but took Wang Lifan and Huo Qingshu to the Caesars Casino to throw coins.
"Sir, what service would you like?" After entering the casino, the waiter came up and asked.
"Exchange chips, thank you." Ke Yan signed a check for US$100,000 and said.
"Please wait."
Wang Lifan clicked his tongue when he saw it: "We are just having fun, why did you exchange so much?"
Ke Yan smiled, held her little face and kissed her, saying, "You don't necessarily lose."
Huo Qingshu also tried to persuade him: "Everyone thinks this way before entering the casino, so they fall into it."
"Okay, so you have to supervise me~" Ke Yan took the chips handed over by the waiter and gave a dozen to Huo Qingshu. However, Huo Qingshu looked nervous and refused to accept them, so he only took two small chips.
"We're not going to the VIP room, we're just going to play the slot machines in the lobby." Ke Yan once again showed his kindness to Wang Lifan.
Wang Lifan sighed and emphasized: "It's just this once, it won't be the same next time!"
Speaking of which, Ke Yan can be regarded as a "young man". He has the ability to be a coach and is famous far and wide. He has a vision in investing and has made hundreds of millions of wealth at a young age! But no matter how rich he is, he is vulnerable to gambling. Wang Lifan feels that he
It is necessary to bring Keyan back from the wrong path.
"Just this once, I will never come to Las Vegas again~"
"That's pretty much it."
Ke Yan played slot machines, blackjack, and Texas Hold'em very relaxedly. He didn't care about cards or anything. If he lost, he lost.
In his own words, it was already very nerve-wracking to lead the team in games, fight Popovich, D'Antoni, Sanders, and Avery Johnson. So when he came to the casino, he really
I don’t want to spend all my time counting cards, I just want to just try my luck and have fun.
"Hi, boss~, never!" Ke Yan used the method of "throwing coins" to relieve stress. Unexpectedly, he also saw an acquaintance in the casino. Daniel Gibson also came to the casino, accompanied by a plump woman.
At this moment, he was looking at Keyan with great interest.
"Daniel, are you coming to relax too?" Ke Yan raised his head and looked at Gibson, what a good guy, he has gained many more chips than himself!
How could he, a second-round pick, get so much money?
"Don't worry, I won't stay here until after two o'clock~" Daniel Gibson said cheerfully.
This is also the rule set by Ke Yan in the Eagles. You are not allowed to play after two o'clock at night, otherwise you will not be able to play the next day!
"Um."
"This is Khloe, a member of the Kardashian family." Gibson said in a showy tone to Ke Yan.
"!
!" Hearing these three thundering words, Ke Yan's heart sank.
It’s over! Gibson is dead!
"Hello, Mr. Earl." Kohler looked at Keyan with a smile and took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Hello." Ke Yan didn't even look up, looking like a gambler focused on the game, and extended his fist to fist bump with Kohler.
The word "Kardashian" is so lethal that Ke Yan can't help but be afraid of it.
Wang Lifan next to him pursed his lips, very satisfied with Key Yan's actions.
I have a strong sense of boundaries and a strong desire to survive!
On the way back to the hotel, Ke Yan called Han Bron, who was in charge of training on the team, and would focus on Gibson's training. If there was any lack of seriousness in training or weakness in his legs, report him immediately.
Others don't know the situation, but Ke Yan knows that the women from the Kardashian family are Dpoy-level celebrities in the NBA.
Players hooked up by their family will most likely decline, so much so that netizens rated them as "13 miles poisonous".
From a scientific point of view, their 13-year-olds should not be poisonous. But their extremely unhealthy lifestyle is very harmful to professional players! If you are close to the women of the Kardashian family, you have to spend time on eating, drinking, having fun, dressing up, etc.
Participate in various banquets, so that you have less time to invest in basketball; the parties last until late at night, and you can have sex again. For these beasts with abnormal physical fitness, indulgence
It’s nothing, but playing and singing every night is very harmful to the body. Can you not go down after going back and forth?
Gibson followed the rules set by Keyan and left Caesars Casino before two o'clock, but he didn't know that he was already on Keyan's watch list!

On the night of February 16th, the rookie game started first. As usual, the second-year team won easily.
Since the All-Star Weekend, the first-year team has never defeated the second-year team. Although Paul, who had to participate in the skills challenge and the All-Star Game, missed the rookie game, Deron Williams and David Lee still
Led the second-year team to steadily suppress the first-year team. In the whole game, David Lee scored 26 points and 9 rebounds, and was awarded the rookie game mvp.
A fly with short legs is also fat! For a player of David Lee's level, it is not easy to win some personal honors! Ke Yan, who was watching the game from the sidelines, also encouraged David Lee after the game.
After coming to Minnesota, I could better understand the gap between Casey's coaching staff and Ke Yan, and knowing how much Ke Yan helped him, David Lee felt less resentful and more respectful towards Ke Yan.
Gibson, who had been high most of the night, played for the first-grade team and played 22 minutes. He made 4 of 7 shots and 2 of 4 three-pointers, scoring 10 points. His performance was quite satisfactory and his efficiency was pretty good, but after all, the level of competition in the game was limited.
, does not have a high reference value.
On Saturday, in the mixed shooting competition, the trio of Suns Marion, Tauris, and Dan Mariel completed the game in a total of 31 seconds, won the championship, and took home a prize of $30,000.
