Before the wedding, Jordan and Barkley entered the venue, puffing on cigars. Jabbar and Johnson, Drexler and Olajuwon, former teammates, walked in together.
There were even more active players...
Irving, Westbrook, James, Wade, Paul, Anthony, Bosh... Each one dressed flamboyantly, as if they were on a fashion runway.
Not only that.
Besides being a player, Wade Dong was also a young entrepreneur, and many business tycoons attended his wedding.
At 11:58.
To the sound of music, Li Zhen led Li Jiajia to Wade Dong's side, placing her hand in his, "Son, from today on, I entrust my daughter to you." ✷✹
"Thank you, Dad!"
Wade Dong bowed slightly, feeling grateful to Li Zhen.
Now, thinking back, in his previous life, Li Zhen had opposed Li Jiajia and Wade Dong's relationship, solely because Wade Dong was too decadent at the time.
However, after they obtained their marriage certificate, Li Zhen didn't say anything further. Instead, he actively helped Wade Dong grow, and within just seven years, Wade Dong amassed a fortune of over 100 million. Li Zhen's early support played a significant role in this achievement.
Bits and pieces from his past life kept flashing through Wade Dong's mind.
Wade Dong understood.
In sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, in beauty or in decline, in success or in disappointment, Li Jiajia was willing to love him, comfort him, respect him, protect him, and remain forever faithful to him throughout their lives. 89shux.com
"Let us raise our glasses and wish the newlyweds a long and happy life together, forever in love!"
Perhaps this was the grandest wedding in NBA history, with more than half of the league's 75 greatest players in attendance.
...
"Wade Dong's grand wedding, a love story from school uniforms to wedding gowns..."
"Over a hundred NBA stars gather in Huaxia..."
"Wade Dong's wedding master of ceremonies is the international superstar Zhang Yang..."
"Wade Dong's brand offers a month-long 50% discount on all clothing and shoes..."
The top search trends were all about Wade Dong's wedding, and it remained a hot topic on the streets and alleys the next day.
The afternoon of the following day found Wade Dong quietly arriving at the Dongdan court.
Before coming, Curry had asked Li Jiajia, "Sis, you just got married, and Dong is already here to play with us. You don't mind, do you?"
"A man is a boy until his last breath."
Li Jiajia laughed, "It's so interesting to watch you guys play~"
Recently, many NBA stars had come to Huaxia, and after attending Wade Dong's wedding, they didn't rush to leave. Some were engaged in business activities, while most chose to tour Huaxia.
For example, Gentry...
Early the next morning, after sobering up, Gentry booked a flight to Yunnan Province, having heard that the Pu'er tea there was exceptional.
Kobe, James, and Durant, these top-tier players, had some business activities in Huaxia. At the moment, accompanying Wade Dong to the Dongdan court were two people: Irving and Curry.
"Wow... These three grandpas together must be over 200 years old!"
The appearance of Wade Dong and his companions immediately drew the attention of the entire court.
The three were dressed in long shirts and pants, but their faces and hands were made up, which was no different from wearing a mask. With white hair, white beards, and even age spots, they looked like men in their sixties or seventies.
Dongdan Stadium was a haven for baseball enthusiasts, but it was rare to see people of such advanced age.
Alongside these three 'old men' was a young girl wearing a baseball cap, her face hidden behind sunglasses and a mask... Even so, her aura exuded the charm of a stunning beauty.
"Young man, can we join your group? We're not very good."
Wade Dong walked to the center of the court, deliberately lowering his voice to mimic an elderly person.
"Grandpa, it's not about being good or bad, we're worried about hurting you."
A young man kindly offered a reminder.
"It's fine~"
Wade Dong waved his hand, "Grandpa has medical insurance."
Several young men laughed, "Grandpa said so, let's add them to the group."
Each group had six balls.
Since Wade Dong and his companions wanted to join, they had to wait for the current players to finish their six balls before it was their turn.
"These grandpas are so tall, all over 1.9 meters... The tallest one is almost 2 meters."
"They might have been professional basketball players in their youth."
"Let's go over there and watch these grandpas play... Grandpa, the court king!"
Wade Dong and his companions waited on the sidelines, their makeup making them look quite old, attracting a lot of attention. Even before they took the court, a crowd had gathered around them.
A young man with red hair, after making a three-pointer to defeat his opponent, shouted arrogantly, "Next group!"
"It's our turn..."
Wade Dong waved, signaling Curry and Irving to take the court.
Curry and Irving hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked onto the court after seeing Wade Dong take his position.
"Hahaha... These two grandpas are a bit slow!"
"Be careful not to get hit by the ball."
Curry and Irving's slow reaction was partly because they were pretending to be old men, and partly because they didn't understand Chinese.
Wade Dong couldn't communicate with them in English, or he would give away the act.
"You guys go after them, and you start with the ball."
The red-haired young man tossed the ball to Wade Dong.
Before coming, Wade Dong had briefly explained the rules of the baseball court to Curry and Irving, which were more or less the same.
In the half-court 3v3 game, many people took out their phones to record videos... What they didn't know was that behind Wade Dong and his companions was a hidden camera crew, who would later edit the footage of Wade Dong disguised as an old man into a short video.
Wade Dong stood at the center circle for a free throw, and Curry received the basketball.
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
Curry, like a beginner, bounced the ball twice in front of him, took two steps, and shot.
The young man defending Curry wasn't taking it seriously...
"..."
Curry's shot this time was a complete airball.
"Hahaha..."
The sidelines immediately erupted in laughter, "We thought he was a master, but he turned out to be an old man who can't play."
The three young men on the opposing team got the ball, dribbled to the three-point line, and prepared to attack. Irving defended a 1.7-meter-tall small player who was wearing Irving's jersey.
"Swoosh~ Swoosh~"
The small player showed off a set of through-the-legs dribbles, and Irving pretended to defend closely. The small player turned around.
"Slap!"
Irving seemed to lose his balance and fell to the ground.
"Swish!!!"
The small player made a mid-range shot, keeping his right hand raised in the air, looking very arrogant.
"Dongdan Irving!"
"Awesome!!!"
A burst of cheers immediately rose from the audience below.
