Chapter 394 Philadelphia 76ers

"Hi, grand pianist." A nice female voice shouted at Lu Wei.

"Oh, reporter Liu Da, what wind has blown you here." Seeing that it was Liu Jie, Lu Wei smiled and went forward to say hello.

"I'm also saying that I didn't tell me if I changed my phone number, so I had to come here to find you in person." Liu Jie said angrily.

"Haha, sorry, is there anything wrong?" Lu Wei asked curiously at the beautiful woman with a clever smile.

"Do you have to come to find you if you have something to do?" Liu Jie said mischievously, but seeing that Lu Wei was not very cooperative, she also tactfully did not continue to tease him, and quickly explained her purpose.

"Oh, I want me to accompany you to have dinner with those players?" Seeing that Liu Jie actually made this request, Lu Wei felt a short-circuiting brain for a moment. Of course, he knew that Liu Jie's identity as a reporter was a playful nature. Although it was common for reporters to invite people to dinner for interviews, they also took their friends with them, which seemed a bit different. However, thinking of Liu Jie's imaginative style that day, Lu Wei didn't think it was very strange. However, thinking of Xiaoling, Lu Wei hesitated after hearing Liu Jie's request.

"Oh, it's just a meal. It seems like you want to eat you," Liu Jie said jokingly, but then realized that there was a big grammatical problem in her words and quickly explained: "I have no other meaning, I just feel that it's boring to go alone. If it's inconvenient for you, forget it."

Lu Wei, who was still hesitating, couldn't help but secretly blame him for thinking too much when he heard Liu Jie say this. Originally, it was a big deal to have a meal together. People didn't care. He was a big man who seemed pretentious to be hesitant.

Thinking of this, Lu Wei smiled and said, "Okay, there's nothing wrong in the afternoon. Since reporter Liu Da invited me warmly, I'll go with you for a meal!"

"Haha, that's great. Let's go." Liu Jie saw Lu Wei agreeing, and a happy smile appeared on her face. Just as she was about to leave, she found that Lu Wei greeted a boy who was also very energetic not far away.

"Langlang, where have you been?"

"Oh. It's okay. I just went to the library to check some information." Langlang said, and then sent out Liu Jie beside Lu Wei.

"Oh, your girlfriend, so beautiful." Lang Lang exclaimed sincerely.

"Haha. Don't talk nonsense. This is Liu Jie, a reporter from Liu Jie. Here comes the interview place." Lu Wei explained with a smile. Then he said to Liu Jie beside him: "Liu Jie. This is my friend Lang Lang. He plays the piano very well. It's a pity that you don't make exclusive music interviews. Otherwise, you should interview him well."

"Hey Langlang. I've heard of you." Liu Jie greeted Langlang with a smile.

"Hello Liu Jie. Sorry, I misunderstood just now." Lang Lang smiled.

"It's okay. Everyone is friends. Contact more in the future." Liu Jie said.

"By the way, what are you going to do?" Langlang asked casually as he looked at the two of them going out.

"Yes, let's go out for dinner, let's go together." Liu Jie invited with a smile.

"No need, you two go, I won't be that glowing object, haha," said Langlang humorously.

"What do you think of? You kid, just an ordinary party, go together." Seeing that Lang Lang had misunderstood his relationship with Liu Jie, Lu Wei smiled and beat him.

"Oh, look, I'm right, I'm trying to do it so hard." Lang Lang shouted.

However, despite this, Lu Wei and Liu Jie still called Lang Lang.

Seeing Mercedes-Benz at the door, Lu Wei was not surprised, but Lang Lang was slightly surprised.

"Haha, reporter Liu Da, your riding is so luxurious." Lang Lang sat on the soft leather seat in the back, enjoying the cool breeze brought by the air conditioner in the car, and quipped.

"It's okay." Liu Jie smiled, without explaining, and just said to the driver to drive, and the black Mercedes-Benz drove steadily into the traffic on the road.

Looking at the young man who was no more than thirty years old but had a determined and calm look on his face, Lu Wei secretly guessed the identity of this person in his heart. In him, Lu Wei actually felt a sense of oppression that only exists from Yuan Lang's group of people. However, when he thought of Liu Jie's identity, Lu Wei was not surprised that she could have such a driver. Of course, with Langlang's eyesight, all this could not be seen.

The car stopped in front of a sports gymnasium. Lu Wei saw the obvious sign at the door at a glance - an abstracted basketball with two dynamic Arabic numerals written on it, which was the Philadelphia 76ers' team logo.

Lang Lang knew in the car that several people were going here. Although he had been studying in Philadelphia for almost a year, he had never been here. However, not coming does not mean that Lang Lang did not know here. Like the Curtis Conservatory of Music, the Philadelphia 76ers are also a pride of the Philadelphia. This team is well-known in the American professional NBA league, winning the NBA championship three times in 1955, 1967 and 1983. However, in recent years, this old-fashioned team from the Atlantic region has somehow average results. Since the championship in 1983, the 76ers have never achieved such a brilliant result in the NBA field.

Now is the moment when the preseason is just beginning. All teams are preparing for the arrival of the regular season. There are one or several games almost every day. As one of the NBA's powerful teams, the Philadelphia 76ers' hometown, Philadelphia 76ers' home, is naturally very strong at this moment. Especially in front of the 76ers' training base, this stadium with the 76ers' logo, there are fans wearing team jerseys and some sales accessories or sports goods related to the 76ers, which looks very lively.

In fact, if you really want to do an exclusive interview, as a sports reporter, you won’t pay much attention to this team with poor performance in recent years. However, Liu Jie is not an ordinary reporter, so it is naturally not possible to infer common sense. In fact, even Liu Jie herself cannot explain clearly what the real reason for choosing here is.

"I'm here, this is the training base of the 76ers. Let's go in." Liu Jie shook her beautiful burgundy curly hair and said to the two people behind her.

The woman is beautiful and generous, and the man is handsome and sunny. As soon as the combination of the woman and the man got off the Mercedes-Benz, the fans in the square were looking at each other. However, the few people seemed to ignore all this and walked towards the training base with laughter.

"Haha, the name of this team is quite interesting. The 76ers team, does it have a total of 76 people? If this is the case, it would be exaggerated. As far as I know, there are only five people in this basketball team in total. Even if there are substitutes, there will not be so many people." Lu Wei said with interest.

"Haha, Lu Wei, I didn't expect you to make the same mistake as me. When I first came here, I was laughed at by my classmates for a long time." When Lu Wei said this, Lang Lang said with some amusement, and then explained: "The predecessor of the 76ers was called Syracuse Nationals, but one of the "founding veterans" of the NBA League. In the spring of 1963, two guys named Yves Coslov and Ike Richmond bought the team, and then the NBA League passed the game on May 22.

After this purchase, the team held a meeting in August 1963 to change the team name. Of the 500 suggestions, the team selected 76ers as the team name, in memory of the 1776 Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. It is said that the guy who made the proposal seemed to be named Water Steinberg, and he also won a luxury tour of the West Coast of the United States." Lang Lang explained clearly, completely without noticing the increasingly surprised gaze of the two people looking at him.

"Okay, I thought you knew how to play the piano every day, but I didn't expect you to know this team so clearly." Lu Wei said in surprise.

"Haha, there's no way. In Philadelphia, you don't know the Sixers. It's as incredible that you don't know Grafman at the Curtis Conservatory. This team is the hero in the minds of Philadelphia people. Whether it's a fan or not, every Philadelphia person knows this team very well. Look, it won't take long to find out that there will be a lot of discussions among the students around you. Don't know it deliberately, you'll know it slowly." Lang Lang explained with a smile.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Lu Wei suddenly said.

Several people came to the door with a smile and talk, but were stopped by a beauty in a professional suit.

"I'm sorry, is there anything you have to do?" The beauty held the delicate glasses on the bridge of her nose and asked a few people with a smile. At the same time, her beautiful eyes glanced at Lu Wei and Lang Lang.

"Oh, I am a reporter from Sports Weekly. My surname is Liu. I came here for an interview. Coach Brown and I have made an appointment." Liu Jie said fluently in English.

"Oh, OK, please wait a moment." The beauty said, picked up the phone and confirmed it, and soon let it go very politely.

"You can't tell that Liu Jie, your English is so smooth." Lu Wei said unexpectedly.

"Of course, I have lived abroad for more than ten years." Liu Jie said with a smile.
