Chapter 262: Rock Park

But Xiao Peng at Locke Park is very interested. This is another place where New York has to go. Some people say that this is the sacred place of the culture of the Star Stripe country. Of course, this may be an exaggeration, but here, it is definitely the mecca of American streetball. In fact, West Fourth Street in Manhattan is also a streetball mecca, but apart from the Stars and Stripes, most people only know Locke Park, but not West Fourth Street.
In Rock Park, even if you are a top NBA star, when you come to Rock Park, you must remain humble. Many NBA stars like to compete with streetball masters here in New York.
Don't think that the level of streetball players is poor, there are many masters here, and it has also created many heroes and myths of street basketball.
For example, ‘Goat’ Elme Nicourt. Known as the greatest basketball player who has never played in the NBA, with a height of 182, he can jump and grab the 25-point coin on the top of the backboard. This physical quality is no one.
Another example is Joe Hormond, nicknamed the "Destroyer". He once faced the defense of NBA legendary star "Dr. J" Irving and easily scored fifty points in the half.
Of course, don't think that the income of streetball players is low. The income of top streetball players can dwarf the NBA stars. For example, "skiptomylou (beating my soul Alston, who was known by the Chinese people because he was a teammate with Chairman Yao, although his salary in the NBA is only moderately low. But sneakers that can't hold others sell well! In terms of income alone, Alstom was in Houston, second only to Yao and Tracy McGrady.
In Rock Park, streetball players also have their own streetball league, which lasts for two months each time, and its popularity is no less than NBA.
After all, this is a game for basketball players. The NBA is too high-end. There are only 450 players in the entire NBA. There are no more than two thousand players in the development league. How many people play basketball in the Stars and Stripes? Ten million? 20 million? With such a high elimination rate, basketball players cannot enter the NBA and want to rely on basketball for food. They can only think of other ways. Street court is one of them.
"Why do you suddenly think of taking me to Locke Park?" Xiao Peng asked, playing streetball all over the place with snow? Can the ball bounce when playing basketball in the snow?
Knowing Xiao Peng’s doubts, Wowen couldn’t smile: "Ligger, you think too much, I can guarantee that there are so many courses in Rock Park, and you can’t find any one of them with snow. There are 365 days a year, Except for the bad weather, it is full every day."
"You haven't told me why you took me there?" Xiao Peng always felt that this kid's purpose was not pure.
It was Danylin who gave Xiao Peng the answer and betrayed Warvin without hesitation: "Wowen, he is a big kid who loves to show off, and almost every time he comes to New York, he has to go to Rock Park to practice with those street players. This time he has made an appointment with them again, and he will drag you there."
Xiao Peng smiled: "You are a fake public for private benefit! You said you were taking me to visit, but you are actually going to the game yourself."
Wowen was also a little embarrassed: "Ligger, the group of people who'collided' challenged me last time! But those guys are really strong. If I have a Liger, I will be confident."
There are also many teams on the street court. "Collision" is one of them. It can make Warwen strong, which shows that they are really strong.
"Okay, I'll take a look with you after dinner." Xiao Peng agreed, and he also wanted to see the American streetball culture.
"Long live the Liger!" Wowen obviously accelerated his meal, and said to the bodyguard who was eating: "Tony, give the king a gun in a moment."
Tony is Wowen's bodyguard, but he can only sit aside when eating. In their eyes, they admire Xiao Peng's bodyguard, Wang Long, who can sit with his employer during dinner.
But when he heard Wowen’s words, Tony hesitated: "Does Wang have a gun license?" In the United States, despite the proliferation of guns, public figures like Wowen are under the spotlight in every move, so they still have to abide by the law. of.
It is possible that a small matter will lead to a decline in Wowen's public image, which will also lead to a reduction in advertising costs. This will have a huge impact on Wowen.
Xiao Peng was also stunned after hearing this: "What are you doing with a gun?"
Warvin looked serious: "Ligger, you are very powerful, but this is the Star-Spangled Country. You don’t know Rock Park. Apart from being a sacred place for streetball, it is also a sacred place for black culture. Don’t confront others easily. Don’t talk to people standing on the side of the road easily. You must drive and be prepared there. There may be someone snatching your sneakers and camera just because you look at others. Kind of. This is part of our black culture!"
Although Wowen was terrifying, Xiao Peng saw a trace of pride in Wowen's eyes.
Xiao Peng laughed and scolded: "You are an Australian, you are so proud when you talk about the black culture of the Star Striped Country!"
Wowen was born in Australia and has dual citizenship of Australia's star-stripe country.
However, Xiao Peng still rejected Wowen's proposal. Who is okay to bring a gun to the basketball court? Make a big fuss, those little scoundrels are at most carrying a few daggers.
For those wild boys with knives on the street, not to mention Xiao Peng, even Wang Long didn't take them seriously.
Watching Xiao Peng's refusal, Wowen didn't force it anymore. With Tony, their safety is guaranteed.
After all, even though there are frequent fights in Locke Park, the number of shots is really small.
Moreover, with his own NBA star there, who doesn't give a face?
After eating and drinking, the group opened the legendary streetball holy land, Rock Park, New York!
Another benefit of having Okamoto by his side is that this woman knows fashion trends too well. He actually dressed Xiao Peng as a fashionable man. Xiao Peng looked at himself in the mirror, almost unable to recognize himself.
This made Xiao Peng and his party walk on the street, and they turned around.
Of course, think about it, this lineup is indeed quite eye-catching: trendy men, beautiful women, strong men. A normal person will look twice more.
However, Xiao Peng really wants to complain about Manhattan: Although there are many tall buildings here, the roads are not as good as the third-tier cities in China: narrow and broken.
If someone asks Xiao Peng which zoo in the world has the most complete variety, Xiao Peng will definitely answer that he doesn't know, but if someone asks Xiao Peng where the race is the most complete, Xiao Peng will definitely answer without hesitation: Manhattan! You can see the yellow race, the white race, the black race, the brown race, and the maverick and unique Asan here. People everywhere! What are you doing here this winter?
Two Land Rovers slowly squeezed out of Manhattan, the speed of the cars increased, and they finally came to Locke Park in Harlem. The car parked directly next to a court. Several people were practicing on the court, but there were many people waiting to watch.
Danilin explained to Xiao Peng: "The news that Warvin is coming here to play has long been released. These are all fans who come here to watch the football."
After the car stopped, Wowen got out of the car with a sullen expression, with a thick cigar in his mouth. That way, as much ass, as much ass.
In order to cherish their professional lives, professional players almost never smoke, but they do not refuse cigars.
This is because smoking a cigar does not pump the cigarette into the lungs, but just aftertaste the remaining aroma. In China, I often watched someone holding a cigar to pretend to be forced and smoking a cigarette while holding a cigar. Xiao Peng could only curse inwardly about this: the turtle.
As for Wowen holding a thick cigar, this is really not a pretense. Small cigars are not suitable for novices. Small cigars are not easy to have a good taste, but they are easy to over-burn. Only veterans can control it. Large cigars are suitable for novices. Cigar.
Seeing Warvin getting off the car, fans cheered on the court, and when she saw Danielin, the crowd was full of whistles. As for Xiao Peng and others, they were all ignored.
Danilin is worthy of being a U.S. internet celebrity. She never forgets to attract people's attention. On such a cold day, she only wore a fur coat with a see-through suit on the inside and fishnet socks on her lower body. Two big weapons are looming, too. No wonder the wolves were howling on the court.
Warvin greeted a few lads enthusiastically, the standard black-style greeting, a hug after a fist, should this be his teammate? Sure enough, after Wowen said hello, he introduced to Xiao Peng: "Liggers, this is the'Bulldozer' street team. They are all my buddies. Watching us crush the'collision' in a few days, I am going to beat their mother. I can't even recognize them!"
"Okay, come on, kid, I'll be a cheerleader for you!" Xiao Peng smiled, and followed the lads of the bulldozer to the reserved position.
On the other hand, the streetball game is actually very regular. The referees have cameras, and there are djs on the scene. The music is deafening.
When Warvin was still doing warm-up exercises on the field, the'collision' players also arrived on the scene. A group of people were fierce, and their appearance was like gangsters. In Huaxia's words, this is called losing, not losing, and the momentum must first be overwhelmed. other side.
Having said that, every time before the opening of the two streetball teams, the posture is not like playing, but like fighting! This is also part of streetball culture.
There was another person he met in "Collision", that was Jeff who had a conflict with him in the hotel. Jeff also saw him, but now he is not like he was in the hotel that night, but a With an arrogant face, this is Locke Park! The mecca of black culture! You, a yellow-skinned monkey, must be honest here no matter how rich you are!
Therefore, the eyes he looked at Xiao Peng were also full of hostility.
Xiao Peng directly ignored him, he didn't have the habit of putting every cockroach in his eyes.
Xiao Peng also wanted to understand why the "collision" had to make an appointment with Warwen, there must be a reason for Jeff.
But this has nothing to do with Xiao Peng, Xiao Peng just wants to enjoy the streetball game.
Deafening music, passionate host, live fans' carnival, fancy football skills, fierce physical confrontation, all of this, endless trash talk. . . . . All this constitutes a perfect streetball game.
