Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 456 100 words!
Later, Downs, who was still recuperating in Zijin Villa, thought of a good way. He secretly contacted Rachel and asked her to accompany Yuan Qingshan.

Coincidentally, 2k reporter Rachel happened to be interviewing in Phoenix at this time. Phoenix is ​​not far from Los Angeles. Rachel arrived in Los Angeles that afternoon.

Until the evening, Rachel stayed with Yuan Qingshan in the physiotherapy room. People from the Lakers team knew about their relationship, so they were not surprised.

The upset loss to the Detroit Pistons was hyped up by the media. Yuan Qingshan didn't want to mention the game, so he chatted with Rachel about other things, such as what she saw and heard in the interviews, customs and customs of various countries in the world, and so on.

Rachel excitedly said that tomorrow she will usher in the first milestone in her life, and she hopes that Yuan Qingshan can cheer up and spend this happy moment with her.

Yuan Qingshan's interest was aroused, and he hurriedly asked what was going on.

Rachel said with pride on her face that when the manuscript of the Phoenix interview is released tomorrow, the news, comments and other words she published in the media will add up to 100 million.

One million words, that's a lot, a lot!
Yuan Qingshan was surprised, this was indeed a milestone achievement, he never thought that the girl who was always by his side would achieve such an achievement bit by bit.

Yuan Qingshan promised Rachel that after buying the commemorative newspaper tomorrow, he would definitely celebrate with her.

At around 6:[-] p.m., Yuan Qingshan took Rachel away from the Staples Center. Instead of going back to the Zijin Villa, they drove to the nearby Slab-City, found a small Mexican hotel and stayed there, enjoying the time together quietly.

Rachel's company changed Yuan Qingshan's mood completely, leaving behind those temporary ups and downs on the way forward, and getting rid of negative thoughts.

The two lingered in the room for a while, and then went out for a walk arm in arm.

The well-informed Rachel told Yuan Qingshan about the history of Slab-City.

In the 60s, a group of people driving RVs pieced together a free city-Slab-City in a military ruin in the Colorado desert.

There used to be no taxes, no mayor, no infrastructure, no sanitation, no waste management, no water and electricity, and it wasn't even clearly marked on Google-Maps.

However, those veterans who are no longer obsessed with the war, living hippies, young people who drop out of school, homeless people who pick up trains and lonely retired workers proudly call this place their home. It provides them with the escape, loneliness and sense of belonging they need.

Yuan Qingshan thought that he was a perfect match for such a small town. He took Rachel to take a group photo in front of the famous "GOD-IS-LOVE" monument, and then drove through the empty red clay ravine.

It brings up a stream of smoke and dust, like a shooting star.

Rachel opened the car window, stretched out her arms to the boundless blue sky, held the newspaper tightly in her palm, squinted her eyes and screamed loudly: "One million words, I published one million words!"

The first million words in life!
The crisp and tender voice echoed in the ravine, turning a thousand times.

Yuan Qingshan held the steering wheel steadily with his broad and strong palms, with a smile on his lips, his greatest happiness was his wife being happy.

Rachel turned her face, and asked charmingly: "Qingshan, do you think I will continue? How long can I last?"

Yuan Qingshan looked at her youthful face, and said firmly: "You will, you must stick to your dream, what is one million, you still have a second, third, fourth... countless 100 million!"

After hearing this, Rachel seemed to see the sun behind the clouds, and continued to shake her arms: "Dream, I will never stop moving forward!"

Yuan Qingshan: "Yes, never stop!"

The sunshine in Slab-City was exceptionally soft. Yuan Qingshan stopped the car, opened the sunroof, rolled down the seat, and lay flat in the car with Rachel, feeling the warm energy transmitted from the distant universe.

"Qingshan, when will your dream come true?" Rachel put her white right hand on her forehead to slightly block the ultraviolet rays.

Yuan Qingshan replied: "I can assure you, it will be soon!"

Rachel gently took Yuan Qingshan's hand, clasped her fingers together, and hummed softly.

This purely country-style song must have been around for some time, and Yuan Qingshan guessed that it should be a song Rachel heard when she was a child.

After an unknown amount of time, Rachel fell asleep just like that. From the beginning to the end, her palm was always held in Yuan Qingshan's hand.

The sun started to set towards the west, Rachel stretched lazily, and turned her face: "Honey, how long have I been asleep?"

Yuan Qingshan kept staring at her face, and said with a smile, "It's not long, I haven't seen enough."

Rachel's cheeks were flushed, she took Yuan Qingshan's hand, and kissed deeply on the back of it.

Feeling the warmth and humidity, Yuan Qingshan was both happy and disappointed.

"Let's go back," Rachel said with a wink.

Yuan Qingshan asked: "Where are you going, the small town hotel, or Los Angeles?"

Rachel said: "Of course it's Los Angeles. I've taken your time for more than a day. It's time to give you back to the team."

Yuan Qingshan smiled lightly.

The two arrived in Los Angeles in the evening, Rachel went straight back to 2K's office in Los Angeles, Yuan Qingshan sorted out his equipment, and went to Hall 1 to meet Whiteside and the others.

In the training hall, Whiteside and Murray were doing shooting practice, and the others were called by Walton to watch the game video.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from the gate, Whiteside and Murray turned around and saw that it was Yuan Qingshan who had come, they quickly threw away the basketball in their hands, and gathered around to ask what Yuan Qingshan had been doing all day when he disappeared.

Yuan Qingshan smiled and said nothing, picked up the basketball and followed them to shoot, and guided their technical movements by the way.

It wasn't until after eight o'clock in the evening that the three of them stopped, lying on the floor together, looking at the ceiling, and chatting about their thoughts.

After Whiteside was beaten by Drummond, he had a psychological burden. Yuan Qingshan had no choice but to enlighten him, and Murray next to him was not in a high mood.

Yuan Qingshan reluctantly led the two of them to a bar in the south of the city, where they drank some cocktails to refresh their mood.

There will be a match the day after tomorrow, so the three of them didn't drink much, they were just a little tipsy.

They returned to Zijin Villa and found that Downs had been picked up by Taylor Swift. He was probably invited to Taylor's Los Angeles concert. He must be very high right now.

Yuan Qingshan chatted with Whiteside and Murray in the lobby on the first floor for a while, then got up and went upstairs to take a shower and prepare for bed.

Murray sat in the lobby until 11 o'clock, couldn't help being sleepy, and went to bed.

Only Whiteside was left alone on the long sofa.

Yuan Qingshan looked from the second floor, the TV was on, and a sitcom with an unknown name was playing. Whiteside's eyes were confused. Although he was staring at the TV, he didn't know where his mind was wandering.
