Chapter 158 Scary high

"He just left?"

At the exit of China's Magic City International Airport, Chen Yu watched dumbfounded as Brian got into a car and quickly disappeared. A little confused, he turned to ask the Suns international scout Matt Lucas beside him.

Matt Lucas has a little belly. He is wearing a wrinkled suit with dark patterns and no tie. The collar is ripped open, his hair is messy, and his forehead wrinkles make him look like a middle-aged man.

In fact, he was only in his thirties.

However, for an international scout like him, who travels all over the world and lives an irregular life, it is normal for him to show his age.

"Otherwise, Chen, you don't think Brian is really here to inspect the big man, do you?" Matt Lucas shrugged and asked.

Brian is the general manager of the team.

When inspecting players, even if they are international players, it is enough to have a scout. If we pay more attention to it, having a scouting director is already a big deal.

Chen Yu scratched his head in pain: "I was quite surprised when we set off, but I didn't expect that he would run away as soon as we got off the plane. What was he doing here?"

At that time, Chen Yu felt strange that no matter how much Brian valued Yao Ming, he wouldn't fly to China to inspect it himself.

Now I understand that this guy's investigation is fake, and there are other things that are true.

Matt Lucas shook his head: "It seems to be a business matter, I don't know the details."

That was the business of old Colangelo.

With a long sigh, Chen Yu complained: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have come."

Matt Lucas grinned and said: "Chen, you should be here, you can help us take a look at whether the big man has any injury risks. By the way, I heard them say that you can observe a person, You can tell whether he has any disease, is it real or fake?"

He travels abroad all year round and rarely returns to the United States, but he has heard a lot of rumors about Chen Yu.

"How is it possible? Do you think I am Superman? Do you have X-rays for your eyes?" Chen Yu immediately shook his head to deny it, then silently glanced at Matt Lucas with his all-seeing eyes and asked: "Do you have cervical pain and high blood pressure?" how many years?"

Matt Lukes was shocked: "Shet, how did you know that I have cervical pain and high blood pressure?"

This is so amazing. If you say it is impossible, then how can you see this?

"Want to know?"

Matt Lucas nodded hastily.

Chen Yu pointed at his neck: "As soon as you got on the plane, you asked the flight attendant for a neck brace. In addition, you fly around all year round, so there is a high probability that you have cervical spine problems. Then on the plane, I saw you taking a pill Huoxi, that's medicine for treating high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. At your age, the chance of getting coronary heart disease is very small, so it can only be high blood pressure, which should be related to your irregular lifestyle and obesity."

Matt Lucas opened his mouth, a little confused, and closed his mouth. Is this how you can tell?

"Okay, it's useless if you don't say it. That guy ran away. What should we do now?" The two eyes were completely black, and I couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north.

Matt Lucas came back to his senses, patted his chest and said, "It's okay, I'll make the arrangements. I'm familiar with this."

He has been to China many times.

With that said, he asked Chen Yu to set off and went straight to the taxi waiting point.

The two lined up to get on the bus, and Matt Lucas, speaking Chinese even worse than Chen Yu, gave an address.

It seems to be some kind of gymnasium.

"Aren't we going to the hotel?" Chen Yu asked.

There is no direct flight from Phoenix to Magic City, so you have to go to Los Angeles first. From Los Angeles to transfer to Magic City, it takes 12 hours by plane. With such a busy journey, Chen Yu wanted to go to the hotel and lie down for a while.

Matt Lucas said: "Go, let's go and find a hotel near the Luwan Stadium. This arena is the home court of the Magic City Oriental Team. It just so happens that there is their game tonight, and we will go directly to watch the game."

Chen Yu felt ashamed and ran to watch the game as soon as he got off the plane. This trip was too rushed, but he still wanted to have a good time in China.

Matt Lucas seemed to have guessed what Chen Yu was thinking. He sighed and said, "No way, that's the job of our scouts. We might be in Europe one day and be on the other side of the world the next."

Chen Yuxin said you should tell Brian what you said. There is nothing I can do about complaining to myself about being tired from work.

Just as he was talking, the driver in front also spoke up and asked Chen Yu enthusiastically if they were traveling to China.

He was wearing navy blue work clothes, with a round head and big ears. He was a little bald, but his eyes smiled when he spoke, and he seemed to be a very kind person. He looked at Chen Yu through the rearview mirror and asked Chen Yu who he was. Not a returnee?

"Turtle?"

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said that he was of Chinese descent and was born in the United States.

"Then you are comfortable. How can you make a fortune in the United States? Have you got a green card? My uncle's little daughter is studying in Canada. You know Canada. When you come back, you are a returnee from overseas. You can't find any job. "." He spoke a local dialect and spoke in a fast tone. Chen Yu could only understand a few words and could not understand what he was saying at all.

But he was really talkative. He kept talking as the car drove, which suddenly reminded Chen Yu of the taxi drivers in New York.

After a while, Matt Lucas pointed to the elevated road on the left side of the window and interrupted to ask the driver why he didn't take the elevated road.

"It's faster here. By the way, which hotel do you want to stay in? I know the Peace Hotel. Foreigners all live there. I have a friend who works there. If you want to stay there, I can book a room for you. Then The side rooms are always in demand.”

Matt Lucas glanced at Chen Yu and shook his head slightly.

After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at our destination.

Although Chen Yu couldn't understand what the driver was talking about, he still felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy when he saw the Chinese characters everywhere along the way.

This is my hometown.

"Chenghui, 106, you have traveled thousands of miles to come to China, and you are just a guest from afar. I will suffer a little loss, so I will give you a discount. I will erase the change and it will be 100." The driver turned his head and said with a smile.

Chen Yu looked at Lucas. Lucas' eyes moved, and he silently took out a banknote from his wallet and handed it over. The two of them got out of the car.

The driver enthusiastically helped the two of them get their luggage from the trunk, then stepped on the accelerator and ran away without a trace.

Standing on the side of the road, Chen Yu was silent for a moment and asked, "Can we call the police?"

Lucas thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Forget it, he was pretty good, but he stole half of our money. The last time I came to China, I was shopping on the roadside, and the boss said something to me in front of me. He was a foreigner who couldn’t understand Chinese and charged me in U.S. dollars.”

Chen Yu was also happy and said with a smile: "I met many times in New York. They thought I was a foreign tourist. Once, the price was 7.5 US dollars. The guy insisted on telling me that it was 75 US dollars, saying that this is how the United States calculates prices. He was so angry. I almost got into a fight with him."

"Let's go." Lukes picked up his luggage and pointed not far away.

There is a Pearl Hotel over there, a star-rated hotel, only two hundred meters away. He has stayed there before.

After booking a room, the two of them took the time to rest and overcome jet lag.

Until the evening, Chen Yu was woken up by Lucas and headed to the arena in a daze.

Perhaps because he saw that Chen Yu was not in high spirits, Lucas enthusiastically said that after watching the game, he would take Chen Yu to Huanghe Road to eat Chinese food.

"What time is it after watching the game? Can the hotel still be open? And is it unsafe to go out so late?" Chen Yu asked rhetorically.

The public security environment in Phoenix is ​​okay, much better than Chicago and Detroit, but it's just as unsafe to go out late at night.

Lucas smiled and said, "That's in the United States. Here, it's very safe to go out at night. I've been here a few times and I've never encountered any safety problems. And there are a lot of late-night snacks there, which are particularly delicious."

The food is delicious, Chen Yuxin said, but it’s safe and unsafe, so I have to ask questions first. After all, I was tricked by the driver when I first arrived.

But it’s so lively here.

There are people everywhere.

You can't see anything like this in Phoenix, even in downtown Phoenix.

And along the way, many people were looking at Chen Yu and Chen Yu, making Chen Yu think there was something on his face.

All the way to the stadium, while queuing up to buy tickets, a young girl took the initiative to talk to Chen Yu.

"Handsome guy, where are you from?" She smiled.

Lucas is unkempt and casually dressed, looking like a greasy middle-aged man.

But Chen Yu is different. He is in his thirties. He was busy with work and poor in the past few years. In the past two years, he has become rich, and he has begun to pay attention to maintenance and appearance. Not to mention that all of them are luxuries, but they are also All are good brands.

He is tall, handsome and very eye-catching.

"I..." This question stopped Chen Yu. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Hello, I am an American."

The girl was stunned and said in surprise: "Are you born in the United States or an immigrant? You speak Chinese very well."

"I was born in the United States." Chen Yu thanked him again.

How is Chinese? I feel like it sucks.

The girl's name is Li Ling. She is a local and lives nearby. She came to watch the game with her best friend.

"Look at Wang Sizhang, he is young and handsome, and he can also dunk." As people were walking towards the arena, Chen Yu asked Li Ling why a girl was still watching the game, she replied.

Sure enough, it was for the handsome guy.

But after finishing speaking, Li Ling said with a smile: "You are more handsome, more elegant, like a star."

She also deliberately bought a seat next to Chen Yu, and even ran to buy water and snacks.

This Chen Yu could make her pay to buy food for her and her best friend, and then let Lucas pay.

The money exchanged was all on Lucas.

Lucas followed and reminded in a depressed voice: "Chen, can you be more serious? We have a mission."

"You have a mission, and I was deceived by that bastard Brian." Chen Yu retorted. What is healthy or unhealthy is not a matter of just a glance.

The arena is not big and can probably accommodate two to three thousand people. The two of them bought a seat in the middle of the technical table.

Sit higher and see more clearly.

Today is the 17th round of Class A, the Eastern team faces Jiliang.

The attendance was okay and the atmosphere was good. Before the game even started, there were many fans cheering and cheering for the home team.

When both teams came on the stage, the cheers reached their peak.

There are a lot of fans chanting one name.

Yao Ming!

Even Li Ling beside her was shouting, pointing at Yao Ming on the court: "Look, I told you, he is very tall."

Chen Yu also saw it.

Wearing the No. 15 jersey and having a crew cut, Chen Yu still found this guy intimidatingly tall, even though he was used to seeing giants in the crowded NBA.
