Los Angeles Airport!
exit.
Countless fans wearing Lakers jerseys were holding signs high.
They are all waiting for the Lakers players to arrive.
They have been waiting here for more than an hour, but these Lakers still remain patient.
After a while, a group of tall, familiar Lakers players came out.
Zhao Chen and Kobe were talking at the back.
"Zhao, I love you!"
"Zhao, you are really great."
"The ultimate kill, your ultimate kill is so cool!"
"MVP!"
After a while, all the shouts and screams came together.
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
The entire Lakers team, which returned 3-1, was picked up at the airport by the Lakers Fans Association.
The Lakers players also walked over and interacted with fans to sign autographs.
Fences and enough security personnel have been arranged around the Lakers players' tunnel to ensure the personal safety of the Lakers players.
"Zhao, I have been watching your games since the Thunder days. Can you sign your autograph for me?" An alternative female fan wearing a Zhao Chen jersey from the Thunder days shouted to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen noticed this fan and went over to sign it.
The surrounding fans saw this scene and imitated it one after another.
"Zhao, do you know? I have been following you since you were in high school."
"Zhao, you never know that when you were in elementary school, I was always watching you from behind."
....
....
Zhao Chen didn't expect that these fans would resort to tricks even if they wanted to sign autographs.
Zhao Chen is still the most popular player of the Lakers. Of course, Kobe is a player on another level. The fans who pursue Zhao Chen also respect Kobe.
Almost everyone in the audience shouted Zhao Chen's name.
After Zhao Chen returned home, Enna also prepared supper. While Zhao Chen was eating supper, she busily helped Zhao Chen pack his luggage.
Life goes on peacefully.
...........
At the same time, the Eastern and Western semifinals are in full swing.
As the playoffs progress deeper and deeper, the media's attention becomes more and more focused.
The Lakers, Warriors, and Cavaliers are the three teams that the media and fans pay the most attention to.
All three teams successfully won the fourth game.
The day before the G5 game, after training, Zhao Chen accepted an exclusive interview with TNT Sports.
The person interviewing Zhao Chen was a sexy female reporter.
An old acquaintance of Zhao Chen.
This female reporter once seduced Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen refused.
During the interview, the female reporter still wore a hot outfit, showing off her sexy figure, and her face was obviously decorated with her own makeup.
The female reporter once introduced herself to Zhao Chen. She was a master's student in communications at the University of California, Los Angeles. She had participated in a beauty pageant and won fifth place...
But Zhao Chen still maintained his previous attitude towards him. Apart from work, he didn't want to have too much communication with any women.
Zhao Chen knew that as long as he hooked his fingers, the female reporter could lie on his bed, but Zhao Chen had no intention of cheating, and he was still very traditional at heart.
At this stage, Zhao Chen faces too many temptations.
Zhao Chen has participated in exclusive interviews more than once and is very familiar with all interview procedures.
After the two sat down, the female reporter took the microphone, approached Zhao Chen, raised her head and asked: "Zhao, who do you think will stand out in the east?"
Zhao Chen said: "Cavaliers, a team led by LeBron."
The female reporter asked: "Why do you think so highly of them?"
Zhao Chen said: "I have not seen their challengers in the east for the time being."
The female reporter asked: "OK, KD, LeBron, and you, your contracts are all expiring this year. Will you three consider joining forces?"
The female reporter is very good at hyping up hot topics and asked a very explosive question.
Zhao Chen shrugged and said: "I don't know what they think. Anyway, I won't consider it for the time being. I am very happy staying with the Lakers and I will renew my contract with the Lakers."
The female reporter asked: "Do you think KD will stay with the Thunder?"
Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Zhao Chen clearly remembers that in his previous life in 2016, Durant made a decision that made him lose fans.
He joined the Warriors that beat him in the playoffs that year.
All the Thunder teammates were stunned on the spot.
All Thunder players have a thought: "I'm still fighting to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?"
Probably no one except Durant himself would have thought that he would join the Warriors.
Zhao Chen felt that if the Lakers defeated the Thunder this year and then recruited Durant, they would be successful...
Durant's personality determines that he does not care about those lofty and false names, he cares more about the real benefits he has gained.
Zhao Chen's own idea is that it is okay not to renew the contract, but he should not join a team that beats him.
Zhao Chen himself couldn't do such a thing, and even James couldn't do such a thing.
For a superstar, this is too embarrassing.
And not respected.
In a previous life, Draymond Green said when he had a falling out with Durant: "Before you came, we were the championship."
For the sake of his big contract, he just pissed off Durant, so why does he care about brotherhood?
The female reporter asked: "Your power forward position is being targeted. Will you make targeted reinforcements this year?"
Zhao Chen replied: "I don't know about this. I am also very satisfied with the current situation of the team."
....
....
After the interview, the female reporter sent Zhao Chen a text message.
Directly above is the address of the opened hotel room.
The female reporter felt that she had given Zhao Chen enough hints, and Zhao Chen also gave a partial response.
Zhao Chen didn't even read the text message and deleted it directly.
.....
Before the G5 war.
Staples Center.
The press interview hall before the game.
Both Thunder players are being interviewed.
Durant said to reporters: "Los Angeles is a great city, but I will lead the team back to Lahoma City, Ohio. This will not be our last game."
Westbrook said bluntly: "The Lakers are not as strong as we thought, and we still have a chance to beat them."
When Westbrook and Durant were talking freely, Zhao Chen came.
Since Zhao Chen, the attention of the two people has immediately dropped by a level, and reporters have all rushed towards Zhao Chen.
Durant looked at this scene, gritted his teeth, then turned and left the press conference interview hall.
Since Zhao Chen joined Los Angeles, their popularity and attention are not on the same level.
Durant used a trumpet to leave messages on Zhao Chen's Twitter many times, but Zhao Chen never replied once.
Zhao Chen really doesn't have time to interact with Durant's trumpet. His Twitter followers are as high as 70 million, and there are too many people leaving messages for him every day.
When Zhao Chen didn't pay attention to the other party, he wanted to read the comments. He did this because he was too idle.
How terrifying is the attention of 70 million fans? You know, how many total users are there on Twitter? Excluding those who don't follow basketball, almost all of those who watch basketball follow Zhao Chen.
James only has 40 million.
This is a terrible amount of attention.
Durant feels that the difference between him and Zhao Chen is that Zhao Chen is in a big city, while he is only in a small city.
