65. Privileged Persons
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when I got home, and Evelin and I walked around most of New York City.
Andrew's adoptive father had already gone to bed. The sound insulation of this small house was very poor, so they tried not to make any noise when they entered.
This home always has a room belonging to Lin Feng. Although it is not big, only five or six square meters, it is very warmly decorated.
Watching sports news before going to bed is what he must do every night, so that he can be mentally prepared in case he is traded by the team.
Tonight's sports news showed a scene that surprised Lin Feng.
Wo Shen's apprentice Charania's Weibo: Celtics general manager Danny Ainge said they want to trade Lin Feng to serve as Irving's substitute. If not this year, they will next year, and even offer him a decent contract.
.
Ainge speculated that the Lakers plan to show off their talents in the free market next year, but do not plan to pay the luxury tax because they are afraid that the team will get nothing again.
Very refreshing news, if he is really traded to the Celtics, he will directly become unc's substitute, which is simply fantastic.
But he doesn't like the Celtics team very much. Danny Ainge feels too shrewd, and they treat Pierce and meritorious figures like Thomas Jr. very badly.
Lin Feng is currently just a rookie and has not yet reached the point where he can control the direction of his career.
If the two teams really reach an agreement, then he can only go home and pack his bags and head to Boston, just like a piece of merchandise.
Soon, Charania tweeted again, this time about Lakers owner Jenny.
Buss rarely speaks out and has a tough attitude. She rarely responds directly to such rumors. It is usually Pelinka or Magic Johnson who takes this role.
"The luxury tax is something only hillbilly teams worry about. Los Angeles never worries about that."
Lin Feng wondered if Jenny's account had been hacked, and she would actually say such straightforward words. Maybe she was really angry. She had been playing poorly for many years and made other teams think that the Lakers were a team that could not stand up to the wall and could be bullied by others.
Things are different now. The Lakers have entered the LeBron James era. They welcomed the first player in the league after Kobe Bryant retired.
Lin Feng likes Jenny's personality. As the leader of the team, he must have the courage to act resolutely.
Now that Andrew's adoptive father and Evelyn have agreed to go to Los Angeles, things need to be done quickly. Big houses in the suburbs of Los Angeles are easy to find. There is sufficient real estate liquidity there, and you can always find a satisfactory residence.
Carmelo Anthony once left a message on Twitter, asking Lin Feng to contact him when he returns to New York, but now Melo is on vacation in Hawaii, and it seems that he has not yet had the time to meet with the big guys in New York.
In this way, the only thing left to do is to replace Perkins to meet his parents, and of course, he will also meet Chloe who was praised by the old Pac.
Lin Feng planned to ask his elder sister to take him to Perkins' house in the Bronx tomorrow morning. It was easy to find and it was near the New York Yankees' home stadium.
After a good sleep, I was woken up by Evelin's alarm clock early the next morning. I had to go through the resignation procedures today. I didn't have to get up so early.
"You didn't wake up? As a professional player, you are really lazy." Evelin knocked on his door.
Lin Feng, who was half asleep, saw Annie in his dream, the female intern reporter in Los Angeles who had interviewed him before.
Anne volunteered herself and gave birth to their child within five minutes. It was very nonsense, but the touch was very real.
After getting up, he realized that it was time to change his underwear.
"Not yet? If you don't wake up, I will go in."
Evelin outside kept urging. When they were young, the two of them always fought like this, waking each other up early in the morning, and then running to the other's bed to dance until one of them was annoyed.
Andrew made a simple breakfast of milk and jam bread, which was Lin Feng's favorite flavor. He ate these almost every morning when he was in junior high school, occasionally adding some oats.
"Gary, I don't know if these are still to your liking. If you don't like them, I'm going to fry some steak."
Andrew goes to bed early and gets up early, and walks outside every morning to breathe fresh air by the sea, which helps his recovery from lung disease.
Evelin seemed very excited, maybe because she was going to Los Angeles soon.
"Sister, tell me the truth. You really want to go to Los Angeles, right? That's the city of fashion, and no woman will refuse beauty."
Lin Feng asked while drinking milk.
"You want me to tell the truth? Of course, I just didn't want to disturb your life at first, sister, because you have been a person who likes to be alone since you were a child. But now it seems that I was wrong, you have become a normal person."
"And as your sister, why should I reject your kind offer?"
Evelin walked around the room as she spoke, occasionally adding body language.
Lin Feng was very happy that she could think so. In this way, Lin Feng felt that all his efforts were worthwhile because he could make his most important person happy.
My adoptive father went fishing at the beach in the morning and brought back a bucket of small fish. He could make fish and chips for lunch.
"Come back early at noon and try my handiwork."
While recuperating in the hospital, Andrew improved his cooking skills and learned many simple fast food recipes.
Fish and chips? Lin Feng has never tried it before, but he thinks it’s quite special.
In the morning, she first went to Evelin's convenience store to apply for her resignation. In fact, she only needed to make a phone call to her boss, and did not have to go there in person.
When we arrived at the convenience store, two female colleagues from yesterday were also there. When they saw the 190cm tall Lin Feng, they were immediately delighted.
"Evelin, my good sister, I heard that you are going to Los Angeles?"
A woman asked in a pretentious manner. She could just go into a TV series and play the role of a man who is always in need of a man.
Evelin hugged her two colleagues respectively. This was his last visit to the store, so he naturally wanted to express something.
"Wait, my car!"
Evelin suddenly pointed out the window and shouted. She thought it would happen soon, so she parked the car on the street, but was spotted by the police.
Evelin's anxious expression was written on her face. She was about to go out to argue with the police, but Lin Feng stopped her.
"Leave it to me."
Lin Feng believed that a ticket was inevitable, even if someone went out, it would not help.
"Sorry sir, we were planning to leave soon."
Lin Feng walked out of the convenience store with an apology and walked towards the police.
The police were preparing a ticket when they noticed that the man walking towards them looked familiar.
"Gary Smith? Oh God, I actually met the basketball star."
The policeman took off his sunglasses and had a silly smile on his face.
"Um, have you seen my football match? Then I have to thank you, Mr. Policeman." Lin Feng spread his hands.
"Your car?"
"Yes, to be precise, it belongs to my sister. She is going through the resignation procedures inside because we are going to Los Angeles together."
The policeman immediately stopped what he was doing and tore up the ticket he had just prepared. "Fuck the ticket, I hate this kind of thing. You are the star of New York and our pride. Anyone can park on this road."
If you ask, tell me my name."
Lin Feng was surprised. He did not expect that he would have "privileges".
"You're kidding." Lin Feng smiled, then looked back at Evelin who was also surprised.
The policeman was very serious. He tore up the ticket, got on his motorcycle and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to take a photo with Lin Feng.
"Goodbye Mr. Smith, you are our pride and I will support you no matter which team you are on."
Everyone was shocked when they saw Mr. Policeman's motorcycle driving away.
"Gary, I have a bold idea, should we try to rob a bank."
