Chapter 255 All-Star Weekend

When they arrived in Houston, Duncan and Leonard basically stayed in the hotel and didn't go out much.

They really weren't too interested in anything.

Tang Tian didn't stay at the hotel. Like last year, he went to meet up with the Hard Work Brothers.

Irving was selected as a substitute for the All-Star Game this year, and he would also participate in the Three-Point Contest and the Rookie Game with Thompson.

Walker was participating in the Rookie Game for the second consecutive year.

Butler had made significant progress this season, similar to Leonard's growth trajectory, and was also participating in the Rookie Game for the first time as a sophomore.

They had gone from the Hard Work Four Brothers to the Hard Work Five-Man Group.

"Kemba, not bad!"

Tang Tian gave Walker a punch in the chest when they met.

Walker's performance really surprised him.

He was averaging 19.2 points, 4 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game this season, and the Hornets were currently tenth in the East.

If Irving's playing style wasn't more popular, he would have been more deserving of an All-Star selection.

"Tang, you're already a starter in the All-Star Game."

Irving said with a hint of envy.

Being selected as a starter in his second year, Tang Tian's honor was already historic.

"He's going to be the All-Star vote leader next year, do you guys believe it?" Walker said with a smile as he punched Tang Tian back.

"I believe it." Butler nodded seriously, with an expression like a little fan of Tang Tian.

"Just wait, I'll be able to get in next year too." Thompson said with a look of pride.

Tang Tian smiled.

Thompson's progress was faster than normal, but in the brutal West, getting selected was still not easy.

"Tang, I heard your Rockets want to trade for you?" Thompson asked.

"That's a good thing, it means I'm popular."

"Tang, I heard you're dating Elizabeth Olsen from *The Martian*?" Walker asked curiously.

"Yeah, she's my girlfriend."

"Damn! You didn't even bring her to meet us!"

"Don't worry, she doesn't have any female friends. Bringing her wouldn't solve your single problem."

...

The group ate, drank, and chatted. It was rare for them to have such a relaxing day during the season.

And such gatherings also made their relationship closer.

The next afternoon, Tang Tian went to the airport to pick up Olsen.

Tang Tian didn't mention the birthday thing. He had only invited Olsen to spend All-Star Weekend with him when he called.

Houston was Space City, with many attractions.

Space Center Houston, Hermann Park, San Jacinto Battleground, Miller Outdoor Theatre...

But when they entered Bellaire Boulevard's Chinatown, Olsen really got excited.

Because of Yao Ming, Houston's Chinese market was fully developed, and its Chinatown was the largest and best in the United States.

Of course, there was also the most food.

Olsen had been hooked on Chinese food since she first tried it, and being here was like being in heaven.

They ate from one end to the other, then switched sides and strolled from that end to this end.

It wasn't until after 11 p.m. that the two of them sat on the street, still feeling unsatisfied.

Olsen was still eating authentic jiao hua ji (beggar's chicken), but she was obviously a little full.

"Honey, what are your plans for tomorrow?" Olsen asked with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"We can sleep in at the hotel in the morning. In the afternoon, we can go watch the Celebrity Game together," Tang Tian said.

"What about tonight?" Olsen asked even more eagerly.

"The Rookie Game is tonight. You have to watch me from the sidelines," Tang Tian said with a smile as he touched Olsen's nose.

Olsen said "oh."

"What about after the Rookie Game?" she then asked.

"Go back to sleep. If you're not sleepy, I'll take you to visit the Toyota Center. It has a lot of peripheral activities inside and outside the arena."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

After listening to Tang Tian, Olsen's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

It seemed like Tang Tian hadn't made any arrangements for her birthday.

"What's wrong? Suddenly lost your energy?" Tang Tian asked with a smile.

"No, it's nothing," Olsen immediately replied with a smile.

"Oh, I heard there's a pier nearby with a very beautiful night view, especially at 0:00. It's probably about the right time to go now."

Tang Tian then suggested.

"Okay," Olsen nodded with a smile.

She didn't want to spoil Tang Tian's fun.

The two of them got into a special rickshaw, and it was only a few minutes before 0:00 when they arrived.

But the night view here wasn't as beautiful as Tang Tian had said. Because it was late, many of the streetlights were off, making it look a bit deserted.

Tang Tian didn't seem to mind and pulled Olsen up to the highest point of the pier.

"Let's go back earlier."

It was a bit cold, Olsen said.

But compared to the cold outside, she felt even colder inside.

"Elizabeth."

Tang Tian suddenly looked at her affectionately.

"Happy birthday."

As soon as Tang Tian finished speaking, a burst of intense sounds suddenly echoed through the originally deserted streets.

Olsen was drawn to the sound and turned her head.

Fireworks instantly exploded and scattered in the sky, forming the words "Elizabeth, Happy Birthday."

Because there were so many letters, it took up most of the sky in front of her.

Dazzling, magnificent.

And it didn't stop.

The next second, the same fireworks, but in different colors.

Olsen was stunned, her body trembling slightly.

Tang Tian remembered her birthday and deliberately tricked her into coming here!

Tang Tian then reached out and touched Olsen's slightly cold face, and said with a smile.

"Silly girl, how could I not remember your birthday."

Olsen then turned her head, breathing a little fast.

This was the most romantic moment of her life, and she experienced it in the very first second and minute of her birthday.

She suddenly hooked her arms around Tang Tian's neck and started kissing him wildly.

She really loved Tang Tian to death!

After a while, Tang Tian let Olsen down and then led her down the pier.

Walking to a place covered by a curtain, Tang Tian then pulled it open.

A red LP700-4 convertible Lamborghini.

Olsen's eyes widened when she saw it.

This was a new Lamborghini model that had just been released last year, and it cost over $1 million.

"Birthday present."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Olsen's first movie had been a great success, but because of her previous split with her two older sisters, she couldn't drive those supercars anymore, and she didn't have much money on hand.

It was very uncomfortable not being able to drive a supercar after getting used to it.

He hadn't done anything before because he wasn't sure about their relationship, but now that their relationship was established, it was only natural to give her a sports car.

And if he was going to give her one, he had to choose the right time and it had to be a really good one.

In the future, if Olsen wanted to make movies, he would help her find resources. If she didn't want to make movies, that was fine too.

In other words, he had nowhere to spend his money. Did his woman need to make money?

ps: Asking for guaranteed monthly tickets.
