Yunding Ranch

Chapter 453
The stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the starlight and fiery glow of the Griffith Observatory, the noise and shouts of the farmers’ market, and the bustle and tranquility of Venice Beach...

Los Angeles, a dream-making city, seems to lack history and culture, as well as heritage and precipitation, but it has its own characteristics, modern, young, energetic, and beautiful, a little impetuous, but also a little joyful.Led by Lu Li, the whole family thoroughly enjoyed the moment in the city.

The itinerary is not tight, but one in the morning and one in the afternoon.This ensured that the old man could get enough rest, and that Lu Li would have enough time to find a suitable restaurant.

Song Qingyun's state is up and down, he likes the hustle and bustle of the Avenue of Stars, especially standing on the side of the street watching the strangers come and go, observing their state; he doesn't like the cozy beach of Venice, and even refuses to take off Take off your shoes, step on the beach... If you like it, he is willing to stay for a while; if you don't like it, he yells to leave quickly.

But at least, in the past three days, Song Qingyun did not repeat the matter of going home again.This can be regarded as a kind of progress, a very slight progress.

Today, they first took a small stroll around Rodeo Drive, did not shop, just strolled between the streets; then they came to a well-known dessert shop and began to enjoy afternoon tea.After eating, Song Qingyun kept complaining that he was tired and wanted to go back to rest early, which meant that he had no interest in tonight's game.

Therefore, they can only divide into two groups.Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin took Song Qingyun to Malibu, where there is a hot spring resort where you can have massages, soak in hot springs, and rest. Song Qingyun needs to relax.Obviously, the jet lag has adjusted, but the physical and mental effects are still not so easy to eliminate.

This made Lu Li quite thankful that he chose to stay in Los Angeles for a week instead of rushing back to the ranch immediately.Otherwise, the bodies of the two old people don't know what will go wrong.

"Are you sure?" Song Kongming looked at his wife in surprise and confirmed again and again.

Zhang Wenyin nodded with a smile, "It's not that you don't know, I'm not interested in football games at all. I'll go to the hot spring with my aunt and the others, and take care of grandpa by the way. Don't worry, I will be very happy." Zhang Wenyin doesn't plan to watch today Instead of playing the late game, he chose Song Lingyi's route.

Zhang Wenyin turned around and looked at the two girls, "Little ones, are you sure you want to watch the football game? Are you sure you don't want to go to the hot spring with us?"

Chen Taotao raised his right hand high, "Ball game! I'm sure, I'm going to watch the ball game!"

Song Jiahui also followed suit, raising her right hand high, bouncing around on the spot, "Me too, me too!"

"Alright then." Zhang Wenyin patted the heads of the two little guys respectively, "You should follow Lu Li's instructions, not Song Kongming's. Song Kongming didn't know anything, so he accidentally led you into a ditch .”

Song Kongming, who was standing next to him, was not used to it, scratched his head, and said in a low voice, "Where is there such a complaint, save some face for your husband."

As a result, Zhang Wenyin also lowered her voice, "My daughter already knows how bad our English is. Is there any need to hide it?" Then the flashes of swords and swords between you and me made people laugh, but Lu Li couldn't laugh out loud. So he squinted his eyes to look elsewhere, and then held back his smile.

"Alright, alright, we're ready to go. No one wants to miss the start of the game." Seeing that Zhang Wenyin and Song Kongming were still arguing, Lu Li coughed twice and said in relief.

Zac appeared in the extra car, escorted Song Lingyi and others into the car, waved them goodbye, turned around and looked at the friends in front of him, "Then, it's our turn now, game night!"

"Ahhh!" Song Kongming screamed involuntarily. It was rare to see him lose his composure once. Even if he was still standing on the street, he could no longer control his emotions. He raised his hands high and danced in place. , and even the two little guys jumped up together.

Lu Li couldn't help rubbing his forehead. He wanted to tell them that when they got to the Staples Stadium, they could find a large group of like-minded friends and have fun and party to their heart's content, but it was still too early.But after opening his mouth, Lu Li gave up and burst out laughing.

Yuan Qingzhu who was standing next to him seemed to sense Lu Li's sadness, so he couldn't help laughing, "Let them go. Is there anything special you need to pay attention to while watching the game?" Yes, apart from Lu Li and Song Kongming, Yuan Qingzhu also Will go to watch the game, in fact, her excitement and excitement are not inferior to Song Kongming.

In fact, Yuan Qingzhu didn't know the rules of the game at all, and she had never watched a basketball game. As for sports, she would watch badminton and table tennis, but she didn't like watching them either.Simply put, she has no interest in sports.But tonight, she took the initiative to say that she was going to watch the game.

Lu Li knew that grandma just wanted to try it out.

In the small town of my hometown, the biggest gathering is the market every three days, but the people who gather here are only 1000 people; there are quite a lot of students in the high school in the town. Gathered, but there were less than 3000 people.Therefore, grandma wants to experience the real crowds and feel the atmosphere of the sports scene.

"There are no precautions. During the game, don't make too much noise. That's all." Lu Li said kindly, "Let's go, let's go to the stadium now. We can go to the stadium first, which is a large entertainment center. We can have dinner and then have a cup of coffee and chat with the crazy fans..."

"Yes, yes, the fans of the Los Angeles Lakers are the most kind and passionate group of people in the world!" Song Kongming was still cheering and celebrating, clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

Then Song Jiahui next to her laughed and said, "But Dad, you don't understand what they are talking about." This seemed to be just a joke, but Song Kongming's muscles stiffened, and he stood where he was, with a depressed expression.

Lu Li pursed his lips and laughed, then called an Uber and headed towards Staples Field with an old man, two children and an enthusiastic fan.

When he was in New York before, Lu Li often passed by Madison Square Garden, which is a landmark building, just above Pennsylvania Station.Ball games, concerts, charity fundraising, mayor's speeches, political debates, program recordings... all kinds of activities are held there, it can almost be said that it is a gathering place for activities.Lu Li also went to participate in many activities and was quite familiar with it.

The Staples Rescue on the West Coast is another landmark, and another holy place for many.This is not only the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers, which has witnessed the great achievements of the Lakers dynasty; it is also the venue for countless entertainment activities, and has witnessed the holding of many classic concerts.

Every year, to be precise, every day, countless people come from all over the world to come here for pilgrimage.However, this was Lu Li's first time here.

Different from the cylindrical appearance of Madison Square Garden, the modern style is mixed with artistic texture; Staples looks like a building in outer space, completely out of the scope of modern art, and went to another extreme. The night sky has always been able to give the arena a Hollywood imprint, distinguishing the two cities.

At this time, there are still three hours before the start of the game, and the square in front of the arena is already bustling with people. The raging crowd is running excitedly in the square, looking at Lu Li and his group who are walking towards them, and then shouting crazily Said, "The Lakers must win! The Lakers must win!" At the same time, he made a rock and roll gesture, opening his mouth wide to vent all his emotions.

Song Kongming understood what he said, so he yelled along with them, "The Lakers will win!" Yuan Qingzhu, who was standing next to him, laughed out loud, and the two little guys followed suit. cried out.

Domestically, the fans of the Los Angeles Lakers occupy an overwhelming advantage.The reason is simple. The domestic broadcast of the NBA began in 1994, but the regular season began in 1996. At that time, it was the year when the Los Angeles Lakers got Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. Growing up with two rookies and witnessing the three-peat Lakers dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that the Lakers have a large number of diehard fans in China, and the appeal of the two stars O'Neal and Bryant is unrivaled.

In the past four years, the Lakers have fallen into a trough, creating the longest playoff record in team history.It's the worst dark age in franchise history, but it hasn't dampened the enthusiasm of the fans in the slightest.Although today is only a regular season, the fans are still full, and the square was packed early.

Song Kongming remembered walking through the crowd, saw more and more fans, and then grabbed his hair angrily, "Oh, I should change into the jersey. Lu Li, tell me, I will Not going to meet Kobe and have him sign my jersey?"

"You can try your luck." Lu Li said with a smile, "If you want, we'll go to the bathroom now, and you can change into your jersey." Then Lu Li saw the longing eyes of the two little ones, and he nodded. "Of course, if you want, we will go to the gift shop now and buy a jersey that you like."

Both Chen Taotao and Song Jiahui cheered. Out of the corner of their eye, they saw grandma standing next to them. Lu Li showed a big smile, "Grandma, of course, you can do it too."

Yuan Qingzhu, on the other hand, cast a condescending glance at Lu Li, "I don't want it! How old am I, and I'm still wearing a jersey, what do you say?" While speaking, four or five people could be seen on the square not far away. The gray-haired grandma, everyone is wearing a jersey, singing the team anthem of the Lakers loudly, so lively.
