The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 74 Invitation from Members

"Li Ming, someone is looking for him!" The assistant of the executive director of the team shouted loudly at the door.

"Looking for me?" I don't have any friends here, who will be able to find the team?Li Ming muttered and walked to the office next door.

"Hi, I'm Li Ming." He whispered.

On the opposite side was a middle-aged man's voice, "Wow, Li Ming, it's an honor to call you. I'm a staff member on Grant Street. There is a themed community event tonight. I hope you can participate. Of course, you can also bring yourself My friend." The voice on the other end of the phone was so sincere that it was hard to refuse.

"Oh, community activities, what's the theme?" Li Ming wanted to ask more details.

"The theme is caring for our planet, building a harmonious community, etc. By the way, officials from the city council will also come." The other party was also sincere.

Having said that, Li Ming has a general impression. He saw some slogans written in the window of the community before. It seems that the candidates for the new parliament want to win votes in their respective communities.

"Tonight..." Li Ming just wanted to say that he had training, but the other party hurriedly said: That's it, see you tonight!Hastily hung up the phone.

Well, it can be seen basically that a style star like him can help those congressmen who are usually high on the road to win votes, increase their closeness to the people, and so on.

"Lee, what's the matter?" Looking at Li Ming who walked into the stadium with his head down, Daniel dropped the basketball in his hand.

"It's just that there is a community event at night, and I'm not sure about it." Li Ming spread his hands.

"Really? It's so powerful. It's a themed community event at night." Lele screamed. He also saw the promotional newspaper at school. There should be local rugby stars and some jazz bands participating.

The most important thing is that you can drink all-you-can-eat cocktails for free, and you can eat all kinds of fruit snacks.This is what attracts them the most.

"I haven't thought about it yet, and I haven't decided to go yet." Li Ming added.

"Go, why don't you go? It's so strange. You are the hottest basketball star in this area now. You know, you are even more famous than the boys in our university." Wang Lele was referring to Memphis The stars of college basketball.

It is true that in a small ball market like Memphis, college players are often more popular than professional players, because most of those children are grown up by locals, and they are more cordial.

"Go, I really want to see the live performance of the Spartan band." Daniel said that the Spartan band is a local black jazz band, and they will definitely participate in such activities, which can increase their exposure .

Moreover, they are almost always present in the activities of the city hall, as if the two parties have a long-term cooperative relationship.

"Okay, don't practice, you have reached the standard today, you need to relax." Li Ming was almost dragged out of the door by them.

At 05:30, several people arrived at Li Ming's home on time, and began to frantically help him choose clothes and tie, as if he was going to attend a certain film festival. The Grammy scene is not so formal.

However, Li Ming was still very happy. He had no impression of this city councilor, nor did he have a good impression of him. He just had one more chance to be with his friends, which was what he valued most.

A few people arrived at the scene early, there was already a stringed instrument on the scene, people were communicating with each other, and from time to time someone raised a wine glass in Li Ming's direction to signal.

Daniel and the others disappeared as soon as they entered the arena. They went to the innermost part, the jazz orchestra by the river, where the most young people surrounded, and even local rugby star Lawrence Mourning and his teammates could be seen.

It is estimated that he is also one of the protagonists tonight, and he will even give a speech on stage.

Li Ming took a glass of brandy from the waiter who came over, and wandered around the venue aimlessly by himself.

"You must be that rising basketball star Lee, right? Yes, it's you!" Suddenly a man in a black tuxedo came over.

"Yes, sir..." Li Ming looked at him with a smile.

"Oh, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Dr. Pierre from San Ding Clinic on the west end of this street. I am a dentist."

The other party was very polite and humble. When speaking, he put the wine glass in his hand on the small table beside him. At the same time, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to him respectfully with both hands.

"Nice to meet, nice to meet." Li Ming also took the business card very politely.

"There will be a lot of sports stars tonight, but let me say, you are the brightest one, now the whole city knows you, cheers for you, your performance in Los Angeles has reached us .” With his mouth, he nudged the weekly sports newspaper beside him.

There is a photo of him riding a dunk on Jamison, which is also the cover of the local media in Los Angeles. Impressively printed: the words of the league's upstarts. Today's Grizzlies already have the confidence to challenge the entire league.

And all this is because of the qualitative changes brought about by the addition of him, a player from the East.

"Hi, Lee, you're here." Randolph and Guy in suits suddenly hugged him from behind.

They're here too?I remember that the two brothers are not in this area, they are in the north of the city.

It turned out that in order to increase his social status and affinity, the congressman cast a net everywhere, and caught everything as long as it could be related to style.

Randolph and Rudy Gay naturally became his best wooing targets. This way, he could win back a lot of votes in the North District. While he was promoted, he also stepped on his opponent. Good idea.

"Oh, this bow tie is not bad, who chose it for you." Guy still did not change the image of a naughty boy, and kept playing with Li Ming's bow tie.

Only then did Li Ming see that Guy was wearing a blue suit, looking like a caterpillar.

And Zach Randolph went even further, with a pink suit jacket on his upper body, but a black and white tight-fitting trousers, this taste... Absolutely.These two buddies are so dark, if they don't talk, they look like two walking hangers from a distance...

"Are you ready for the lines to speak on stage later?" Randolph took out a small card from his chest, and wrote a few lines of clear small characters on it.

"Hey, Zack, why are you planning to do that? Maybe they don't plan to invite you up at all. Come on, don't be narcissistic." Where there is Guy, laughter is always indispensable.

"It's nonsense, they will definitely invite me to the stage, I am the image ambassador of the city." Zach replied seriously.

"Ambassador? What? You? Excuse me, Mr. Zach Randolph, is this an advertisement for cotton farms?" Guy laughed and ran away.

Randolph also bowed his head shyly, pretending to find a glass of wine for himself at the table.
