Chapter 173 Banquet
In the sixth game of the finals, Lakers head coach Paul Westheide boldly activated Elvin Johnson as the team's starting center when Kareem Abdujabal was injured in naked foot. The 76ers coach Billy Cningham was surprised by the Lakers' team's team's team's team's team's team's team change and did not make much preparations.
In this game, Elvin Johnson scored 42 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists in the game, helping the Lakers win the 76ers in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, so the Lakers defeated the 76ers 4:2 and won the 1979-1980 NBA championship trophy.
At the moment of the game, Li Zhiwen flew up happily, and the champagne that Li Zhiwen prepared in advance also came in handy.
After the award ceremony, in the away locker room of the Philadelphia Spectrum Arena, Lakers players cheered and sprayed champagne on the people around them. Even Li Zhiwen, who was in it, was not spared.
After that, the Lakers did not stop in Philadelphia for more time, but quickly packed up and made a plane and returned to Los Angeles, where tens of thousands of fans were waiting to cheer with the team.
Li Zhiwen, who returned to Los Angeles, did not escape anything, but fulfilled his promise one by one. On the day he arrived in Los Angeles, he reported a grand banquet and invited many models from the modeling company to cheer him up.
"Boss, thank you for your support, otherwise the team would not win the championship." Lakers general manager Bill Sharman said.
"Bill, where did you say this championship is the joint efforts of your team staff and players, and I am just picking peaches halfway." Li Zhiwen said.
"Where, if you don't have the support of your boss, these young men would not be so motivated to win the championship. Boss, why don't you go on stage and say a few words? Look at the players all watching you." Bill Sharman said.
Li Zhiwen looked around and saw that the Lakers players were indeed looking at him, and couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, Lakers players did not want Li Zhiwen to speak, but simply felt that Li Zhiwen was a little unwilling to let go here.
Li Zhiwen shook his head and said, "Bill, there is no need to speak. I will have a drink with the players later and I will leave. I will leave Los Angeles tomorrow."
"Now it's the offseason, the team needs to make arrangements. You can discuss the draft yourself, and the ranking is not high anyway."
"Boss, are you leaving Los Angeles so soon? Don't you participate in the championship parade?" Bill Sharman said in surprise.
"I can't do it, just join, just say sorry to the players on my behalf. I have to go back to Hong Kong as soon as possible. If there is something to deal with, I will just customize the rings, so you don't have to worry about it." Li Zhiwen said.
June is coming soon, and the second round of War in Hutchison Whampoa is about to begin, and Li Zhiwen needs to go back and take charge in person.
As for the champion ring, Li Zhiwen plans to return to Hong Kong to acquire a gold store, so that the cost of the champion ring can be reduced. Of course, several European and American designers must be hired to participate.
Moreover, the gold shop is also a good investment, with funds flowing back quickly, which is very suitable for investment.
"Okay, please don't worry, boss, I will handle it." Bill Sharman said.
For professional managers, a boss who doesn't care about other people's business is so important that he can do a lot of things.
After that, Li Zhiwen drank a glass of wine with the players one by one and prepared to leave by car.
As soon as Li Zhiwen walked to the car, a figure suddenly came towards Li Zhiwen and said, "Sir, are you going to the city? Can you take me for a ride?"
Li Zhiwen looked at the visitor suspiciously and saw that the visitor had long blonde hair, beautiful face, white sweater on the upper body, blue jeans on the lower body, tall figure, and tall figure. The blue jeans on the legs showed off their long legs very well.
Not to mention that Li Zhiwen really knows this person, she is called Meg Ryan, and she was a very famous Hollywood actress in later generations.
Li Zhiwen was originally not resistant to Gao Mei, and the model who was able to attend the banquet this time was very clear about what would happen tonight.
Li Zhiwen looked at Megrian with interest and said, "What the beauty wants is extremely happy, please get in the car."
Li Zhiwen made a very gentlemanly move and let Megrian get in the car.
Meg Ryan went to the Lakers to attend a banquet as a model. In fact, she was not interested in basketball, so naturally she was not interested in a group of big black men.
Meg Ryan had only one purpose for the banquet, to take on the big boss of the Lakers. Everyone in Los Angeles knew that the big boss of the Lakers was very rich, so he shot promotional videos for the team and invited Hollywood directors and superstars to come to the team to watch the game.
Such a huge connection is exactly what Meg Ryan, who wants to enter Hollywood at this time, so she tried every means to enter the banquet and even paid the price of money.
After observing at the banquet for a long time, I determined the identity of the Lakers boss. I originally wanted to go up and say hello, but this person kept chatting with an old man.
Now she was leaving the banquet, which made Megrion very anxious. She decided to take the initiative and then the above was passed.
Cao Wenyu and Li Zhiwen and Meg Ryan sat down and asked, "Boss, where are we going?"
"Hilton Hotel!" Li Zhi finished speaking concisely, and then looked at Megrian beside him with interest.
Of course, Li Zhiwen would not take Meg Ryan to the villa in Beverly Hills. After all, although the relationship between the two has not been explained clearly, he already knows his behavior.
Li Zhiwen just treated Megrion as a wild flower. How could wild flowers enter the soil at home?
Megrian, who was standing beside him, lowered his head and said nothing, his appreciation face was a little red, as if he knew what was going to happen next.
Meg Ryan is a 19-year-old girl after all. Although she decided to do this, she still had some scenes, lowering her head and playing with her fingers.
Li Zhiwen had already seen the girl's nervousness, so he asked, "Beauty, what's your name?"
"Meg Ryan!" Meg Ryan replied concisely.
"Oh, it depends on how you look, you are still in school!" Li Zhiwen asked.
"I'm already graduated!" Megrion still said little.
"Is it a college in Los Angeles?" Li Zhiwen asked.
"No, I majored in journalism at the University of Connecticut, but I have loved acting since I was a child, so I joined the Actors Union early and am currently in Hollywood." Megrian said more at this time.
