Chapter 148 Special spectators in the arena
After Li Zhiwen handled Reebok's affairs, he started shopping in Los Angeles with He Chaoqiong. The two of them left their footprints everywhere.
The relationship between the two also made rapid progress when He Chaoqiong chose to forget that Li Zhiwen had a girlfriend, but the two still did not take the last step. First, Li Zhiwen respected He Chaoqiong's ideas, and second, He Chaoqiong could not overcome that hurdle, so Li Zhiwen and He Chaoqiong were still good friends and had no further actions.
The Lakers, who were aroused by Li Zhiwen, are also very good. In the first playoff game between the Lakers and the Suns on April 11, the Lakers defeated the Suns with 21 points with a 83-62 win. As a rookie, Elvin Johnson scored a triple-double in his first playoff game, with a dazzling performance. Jabbar and Elvin Johnson scored 40 points together to help the team score a point.
On April 13, in the second game between the Lakers and the Suns, Li Zhiwen and He Chaoqiong also came to the Atlantic Forum Arena to watch the game. After all, Bill Sharman promised to support the Lakers as long as he had time. In the team's first playoff game, he could not do this in the second game.
At this time, the Atlantic Arena was covered with golden oceans, and the fans shouted the slogan of the Lakers championship. Li Zhiwen looked at the fanatical fans around him, worthy of being the legendary devil's home court. Li Zhiwen nodded with satisfaction.
Suddenly, Li Zhiwen saw a figure in the third row behind him, Reagan.
Reagan's full name is Winard Wilson Reagan. He is the 40th president of the United States. He was a non-famous actor in Hollywood when he was young. He participated in as many as fifty movies. Later, he served as the governor of California. It is logical that this was during the US presidential election. Reagan should be busy with the election. How could he have time to come to Los Angeles to watch football games? Li Zhiwen was puzzled.
Some American actors will follow the political route after they have been in the film industry for a while. Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger are among the best. Both have served as governors of California, and they all have similarities.
Reagan participated in the US presidential election a few years after resigning as governor and succeeded, and was re-elected for two terms, and was called the greatest president by many Americans.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is limited by US law. The US Constitution prohibits immigrants from running for president. Arnold Schwarzenegger is an Austrian. He was born in a small town in Austria in 1947 and then immigrated to the United States to settle down. Therefore, Arnold Schwarzenegger has no right to run for president, so the free American people, but Reagan and Schwarzenegger are both successful cases of actor-turned-politicians.
Li Zhiwen shook his head, pointed at Reagan and asked Bill Sharman on the side, "Bill, is that gentleman a Lakers fan?"
Bill Sharman looked back along Lee Zhiwen's finger, and saw that it was Reagan, and said with a smile: "Boss, that's Mr. Reagan. He used to be the governor of California. When he was the governor, he often came to our team to watch the game. He didn't see him for a while. I heard that he is running for the Republican presidential candidate. Now it's a time of fierce competition. Why did he come here today?"
When Li Zhiwen heard Bill Sharman's words, he said, "So, is Mr. Reagan a basketball fan too?"
"No, boss, although Mr. Reagan often comes to the stadium to watch football, in fact, Mr. Reagan is not a basketball fan. In fact, he is this rugby fan. He hasn't been to the stadium for a long time since he stepped down as governor." Bill Sharman said.
"Okay, Bill, I want to help me introduce it when the game is over." Li Zhiwen said.
"Of course it's okay, I haven't seen him for a long time," said Bill Sharman.
Li Zhiwen nodded and said nothing, but focused on watching the game.
In fact, Reagan appeared at the Atlantic Forum Arena in Los Angeles for no reason. Reagan is a grassroots. Reagan does not have strong family funds to support Bush as president like his rival George Herbert Walker Bush in the Republican Party.
The Bush family is one of the core families of the Texas consortium, so Bush doesn't have to worry about campaign funds.
On the contrary, Reagan was not like this. From beginning to end, Reagan was a grassroots. He could defeat competitors such as Jesse Statt in the Republican Party because Reagan had served as the governor of California and had a certain connection in California, and raised a fund from California.
But after Reagan's competitor was replaced by Bush, some capitalists in California who had previously supported Reagan felt that there was no possibility of success, so they gave up investing in Reagan.
Reagan came to Los Angeles this time to persuade these capitalists to continue investing in their own investments. Obviously, Reagan failed.
So Reagan could only implement Plan B and find new supporters from Hollywood, Los Angeles and other places to keep the campaign going.
In the United States, sports culture is very strong. From big capitalists to slums, there are two types of sports that they like, so Reagan's idea is to start with sports.
In addition, the Lakers are in great momentum this season, and they have won 60 wins and 22 losses in the regular season, which is very likely to win the championship. Therefore, the Lakers' playoff tickets are hard to come by, and Reagan comes to the stadium to try his luck and see if he can find a bad guy to invest in himself.
There is no suspense in the game. The Lakers will visit Phoenix away with a record of 2-0. As long as the Lakers win a victory in Phoenix, the Lakers can advance to the next round.
After the game, Reagan was a little disappointed and seemed to be no longer unlucky, so Reagan prepared to pack up and leave the Atlantic Forum Arena.
"Hello, Mr. Reagan!" Bill Shaman walked up to him and said.
Reagan turned his head and saw Bill Sharman and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Sharman, the Lakers played so well today. I hope you will win the championship. Is there anything you have to ask me for?"
"Mr. Reagan, it's not me who I'm looking for you, it's my boss who wants to get to know you," said Bill Sharman.
"Mr. Jerrybass? I want to know him, too," Reagan said.
Reagan did a thorough investigation before coming to Los Angeles. Although Jerry Bass is a small boss, he is better than nothing. Lee Zhiwen has the Lakers for no more than half a month, so Reagan's report is a bit slow.
"Mr. Reagan, it's not Mr. Jerry Bass. Our team has changed its boss. Come with me." Bill Sharman said.
Reagan was very surprised because Jerry Bass only acquired the Lakers last year. As a result, the Lakers changed their boss within a year. What kind of sacred thing is this? Reagan also became curious and followed Bill Sharman away from the court.
