Chapter 619 Sylvester Stallone, who keeps making empty promises to his daughters!
Stallone, whom we haven't seen for a while, once again brought his three daughters to the event.
When he saw Wang Xiucheng walking over, Stallone stood up immediately, grabbed Wang Xiucheng with one hand, and patted him on the back with the other.
"These tickets were really hard to get today. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have spent so much money," Stallone said, pointing to the big stars in the front row.
Then Stallone whispered, "Did you really think LeBron would let me spend this much money?"
Since they were giving him so much face, Wang Xiucheng naturally looked very touched.
Of course, Stallone was just being polite; Wang Xiucheng didn't really take it seriously.
He hadn't forgotten the scene of Stallone chatting and laughing with James like old friends.
"I've been trying to get in touch with you, but I can't. Do you have time this time in Los Angeles?" Stallone asked again.
"I'm afraid that won't work. We'll be leaving tomorrow night," Wang Xiucheng said regretfully.
Just as Stallone was looking back at his three daughters with some disappointment and embarrassment, Wang Xiucheng's next words almost made him beam with joy.
"Let's wait until we go back to New York. I should be relatively free around the time of the All-Star Game," Wang Xiucheng said after a moment's thought.
"It's a deal." Stallone slapped Wang Xiucheng on the back. "Good luck in this game."
Stallone then released Wang Xiucheng's hand.
Wang Xiucheng exaggeratedly rubbed his hands. This old man, even at his age, still has such great strength.
To be honest, I did turn down several invitations from Sylvester Stallone.
There's nothing I can do. Every time we make an appointment, there's always something else going on, or someone more important I need to meet.
Wang Xiucheng did not leave immediately, but shook hands with Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlett again.
Sofia's face flushed slightly, but there was still a hint of grievance in it.
She and Wang Xiucheng had not seen each other for at least six months.
Yes, six months.
She hasn't seen Wang Xiucheng once since he was injured in the finals last season.
This made her realize that she wasn't Wang Xiucheng's girlfriend at all.
Which couple would go six months without seeing each other?
Sofia felt a little regretful.
I regret that I was too passive!
She should have been more proactive and just won Wang Xiucheng over!
In that case, Wang Xiucheng wouldn't be able to shake him off even if he wanted to.
But if I did that, I would inevitably get scolded by my father.
But it was worth it for Wang Xiucheng!
From now on, we'll all be family. What can his own father really do to Wang Xiucheng?
Thinking about this made Sofia feel much better.
After watching Wang Xiucheng leave, the three sisters sat down.
At this moment, the youngest Scarlett suddenly said, "I saw some gossip that says Westbrook has been trying to matchmake Wong and Kieran Shipka."
“That’s not gossip, it’s true.” Sistine frowned slightly.
Gossip is only true when there is no evidence.
Qilanshipa even followed him to Singapore, where she was photographed having dinner with Wang Xiucheng, and the photos were then posted online.
But this incident didn't cause much of a stir in either the US or China, simply because Westbrook and his wife were also present that night.
There were four people in total, so of course there wouldn't be any major issues.
If it were just Wang Xiucheng and Qilan Shipka, the sisters would have already exploded!
"I don't know what Dad was thinking," Scarlett pouted, looking somewhat unhappy.
Their father kept making empty promises to them, but in the end, he couldn't even get an appointment with Wang Xiucheng's people.
Wang Xiucheng shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with many celebrities along the way. Whether it was Leonardo DiCaprio or Chris Evans, Wang Xiucheng would always extend his hand whenever the other party stood up.
James, who was warming up not far away, saw Wang Xiucheng's behavior and said with some amusement, "This kid really thinks Staples Center is his home court."
“Even if it’s not, it’s pretty close. Look how many Chinese fans there are.” Davis gestured towards the stands with his eyes.
James looked around and, sure enough, there were quite a few Chinese fans at Staples Center tonight, including some who were supposedly famous celebrities in China, though he didn't recognize them.
"I just didn't expect that Shohei Ohtani would be here tonight too." James looked in one direction.
Shohei Ohtani, wearing a Lakers baseball cap, is exchanging pleasantries with his fellow Japanese, Rui Hachimura.
Thomas, who has Japanese heritage and plays for the Nets, was standing next to them and couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Only after Shohei Ohtani and Rui Hachimura finished talking did he give Thomas a perfunctory hug.
Then Shohei Otani sat down and started talking to his fiancée next to him, occasionally pointing to Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng had already seen the Japanese baseball star who had just signed a massive 10-year, $7 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
But Wang Xiucheng and he had never met before, so naturally he couldn't take the initiative to go over and say hello.
Instead of wasting time, you might as well hug some pretty girls.
"The weather forecast says it's snowing in New York," Wang Xiucheng whispered in Scarlett's ear as he held her.
Scarlett's cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly recovered, released Wang Xiucheng, and sat down in the chair as if nothing had happened.
"Hi." Wang Xiucheng greeted Olsen next to him, and then hugged him as well.
Just then, the referee blew his whistle, reminding everyone that the match was about to begin.
So Wang Xiucheng returned to the bench, took his personal drink, and took a sip.
Looking at the towel handed to him by the logistics guy, Wang Xiucheng ultimately felt too embarrassed to accept it.
I only made six or seven three-pointers to warm up, and I didn't even break a sweat.
Udoca clapped his hands, gathering everyone around him, and began his daily motivational speech for the players.
Not far away was the TNT broadcast booth, where O'Neal and Barkley were giving their final introductions.
"This is the starting lineup for today. Westbrook is not playing today; he didn't even come to the stadium. So, the Nets' starting shooting guard is Thomas."
"But I still have doubts about whether Thomas is capable of starting for the current Nets team."
Why not start Oubre?
O'Neal is giving his opinion on the Nets' starting lineup tonight.
But before he could finish speaking, the match had already started.
With a whistle, the game officially began amidst applause from the Staples Center fans.
Davis gave the opening jump ball to Russell.
Russell took advantage of the Nets' unstable footing and scored the first basket himself.
The Staples Center home fans slowly and contentedly sat down.
Perhaps influenced by Nets fans, the practice of sitting down after scoring the first basket is no longer exclusive to the Mavericks and Thunder.
Lakers fans like to do this this season too.
However, the fans, who had just sat down and hadn't even warmed their chairs yet, all stood up again the next moment.
Because that man actually stole the ball from James and charged one-on-one towards the offensive half!
