As soon as link got off the plane at St. Louis Armstrong International Airport, he was warmly welcomed by fans.
During the all star game, there are countless reporters and fans crouching in the airport hall, waiting for the stars to arrive.
Link is not the first superstar to arrive in New Orleans. Before him, all star starters such as James, Owen and harden have all appeared one by one.
But even so, when link came out, the fans didn''t show any fatigue, they still gave out the most enthusiastic roar.
Link''s popularity is not lost to any active player. Otherwise, he can''t be an all-star ticket winner.
Link greets the enthusiastic fans and tries his best to meet their signature needs.
Unlike James and others, link is not the kind of basketball star who has been in high school. He really became famous after the Grizzlies.
Before that, in the University, in the NBDL and even in the Rockets, link was just a little transparent.
So, link has no superstar''s frame at all, because he is not born a superstar, he is a small person originally.
Even if he is a superstar player now, he doesn''t think much of himself. Because link knows that he can have such a day, also can not do without the support of the fans.
There are many people who hate link, but many people like link.
It took link 40 minutes to get out of the airport because the fans were so enthusiastic that they almost blocked their way out of the airport hall even though they were protected by police.
What''s more, link doesn''t deserve the police. Not only did he not take the opportunity to step out quickly, but also made a group with the fans, leaving the police officers speechless.
When link finally walked out of the airport hall and got on the special bus, the fans finally calmed down.
It has to be said that link''s popularity is really frightening.
"Mr. Lin, go straight to the hotel?" As soon as link got on the bus, the driver laughed at him. This is a special car and driver specially arranged by the League for link. Of course, this is not the privilege of link, but the treatment of every player who comes to the all star game.
For the alliance, this cost is not worth mentioning.
Link found that the driver was an Asian, and his English accent seemed to be of Chinese origin.
"Are you Chinese?" Link then asked curiously.
"Me? To be exact, Chinese Americans are not appropriate. Because I''m Chinese, ha ha ha. " The driver laughed again.
"Well, let''s speak Chinese directly these days. You know, in such an environment, there are not many opportunities to speak Chinese. " It is not easy to find someone to speak Chinese.
After staying in the United States for a long time, link found a strange thing, that is, he would like to speak his hometown dialect very much! This kind of experience, link never felt. Perhaps only when people are abroad can they arouse this homesickness.
Unfortunately, there are not many opportunities to speak Chinese in the United States. So, every time link catches a person who can speak Chinese, he wants to communicate with people in Chinese.
"I''ve heard that your Chinese is very good, but I didn''t expect to be so excellent. Mr. Lin, as far as I know, you haven''t lived in China
"Yes, I have been in the United States since I was born, so I automatically acquired American nationality. It''s beyond my control, but it doesn''t mean I''m going to abandon everything in my blood. My parents taught me Chinese and some Oriental values since I was a child. Apart from my nationality, I am not different from most Chinese people. " Link opened his hand. If it wasn''t for crossing, he would have been a real Chinese.
"That''s right. It''s really nice to be with you. Unfortunately, many domestic fans don''t think so. Forget it. Don''t mention that. " The driver waved his hand in a hurry.
"It''s nothing. I also know what some domestic fans say about me, so there''s no need to avoid it. To tell you the truth, it''s hard for Chinese Americans sometimes because you are not agreeable to both sides. Americans look down on you, and Chinese don''t like you. Some people once said that I would rather go to accompany the dream team than play for the Chinese team, accusing me of forgetting my origin. I would like to say that I would like to play for the Chinese team, but it is much more difficult to become a Chinese national than to win an NBA championship
"Yes, sometimes you are helpless. However, your Chinese is really good. It''s hard to believe that you''ve never lived in China. "
Link laughed and stopped talking about nationality. "We''re not going to the hotel. I want to go around. It''s hard to come to New Orleans once in a while. It''s a waste to stay in a hotel. "
As the car gets closer to the city, link''s eyes become more and more expectant.
New Orleans, link has wanted to visit the city for a long time. Before coming to New Orleans to play away, link was attracted by the city''s exotic scenery.
But because of the competition task, link has never had a chance to visit New Orleans.
New Orleans is indeed a special city, because it was once the most extravagant and corrupt North American colony of French upstarts, nicknamed "great joy".Then the Spanish colonized the place. They burned down most of the French architecture and introduced the Spanish style to New Orleans.
As a result, New Orleans has become a collection of cultures. It''s like walking into a time tunnel from France to the city along St. Charles Avenue. From the European French district, to the typical American business district, to the oak Avenue like Charleston, South Carolina, and the Victorian architecture that was popular in the early 20th century...
these once different languages, cultures, fashions and beliefs are now closely intertwined, evolving a unique New Orleans culture.
People can experience the colorful flavor in the collision of Caribbean, American, French, Spanish and African cultures.
Finally, link got out of the car in New Orleans'' most special French district and told the driver to pick him up when he needed to.
Link puts on sunglasses, a mask and a sun hat, and instantly becomes an ordinary tourist.
If only link was alone, he would not be interested in shopping. Link is looking forward to this trip because he has already made an appointment with Rachel to spend a leisurely time in France today.
In a busy season, it''s a rare opportunity for two people to be quiet together.
Two minutes later, link sees Rachel in a white down jacket.
It''s winter, but Rachel still doesn''t look bloated. When she saw link, Rachel ran all the way with a smile and jumped into link''s arms.
"On time, big star!"
"I''ve been here half an hour in advance."
"Don''t brag! Your flight didn''t arrive early. Come on, the journey you''ve been looking forward to is now ready to begin. "
Link takes Rachel''s hand and steps towards the exotic France. Just then, link''s cell phone suddenly vibrated.
He took out his mobile phone and found that it was a text message, "there is an insider, terminate the transaction!"
Link shook his head, blaming him for seeing Infernal Affairs again last night. The text message on the mobile phone is not so evil, but "I have landed safely, waiting for you at night."
The sender''s name is Jordan kilganon, a guy most people don''t know, but if you''ve seen his dunk, you''ll definitely shout, "how can this be possible?".
This Canadian dunk is the dunk designer of link. This time, he was helping link prepare for the dunk contest. The mysterious figure behind the scenes that reporters are looking for is him!
"White Jordan" dunk is very imaginative and difficult, many NBA stars can not do his action. It can even be said that he may be more powerful than Jordan in NBA just than dunk.
And this time, link will move his incredible and bold moves to the NBA dunk contest!
"See you in the evening, Jordan." Link casually replied to the text message. Now, he''d better enjoy his trip to New Orleans.
