Regarding Li Zhe's proposal, the Lakers immediately replied that it was feasible.

Because bowling is relatively niche, it is very popular in the NBA. Westbrook, Paul, Pierce and others have personally initiated and organized it, and many NBA players have participated and are often held as team-level events.

Even for beginners, they don’t need too much preliminary training. They just need to master four simple and easy-to-learn techniques: holding the ball, stepping, swinging the arm, and throwing the ball. The venue is easy to arrange, so there is no need to worry about the weather when indoors.

The risk of injury for key players is extremely low unless they are bad luck like Bynum.

Bowling competitions can be held. Compared with traditional community activities such as distributing free food, more staff members need to participate and more material and financial resources. The Lakers hope that Li Zhe will use personal resources to help organize, otherwise it will be postponed.

This requirement is reasonable, and Li Zhe agreed readily, but his name also became a cooperation with the Lakers. He could decide which teams outside of the teams to invite to participate, where to hold them, and what effect he ended up with.

After setting rules with the Lakers, Li Zhe called Duffy.

After a discussion, the two quickly determined the main goal and basic requirements, which was to launch a charity bowling competition invitation in the name of Li Zhe and the Lakers, and raise charity funds to help 1,000 children raise lunch standards by selling tickets and charity sales.

In this way, it is not appropriate to invite Paul to attend.

In order to increase his influence, Li Zhe began to contact Hollywood stars and sent invitations.

After dozens of phone calls and text messages, no big name was invited. Leonardo and others either had something to do or could confirm it when they got it. However, four of the third-tier stars who helped him in the brand promotion before were confirmed to attend.

Among them, Elena Satin, who almost snatched Scarlett Johnson's role as Black Widow in Marvel movies, has starred in influential films such as "Bar Star" and "Ripple Effect".

Li Zhe immediately notified Duffy when the attendees were confirmed.

…

The next morning, after Li Zhe finished his morning exercise, he received a detailed plan formulated by Dhafei Company overnight.

The time is set at 7 pm on the 29th, which will neither affect rest nor training.

The location is set at Gaborhouse Stadium, which is only five kilometers away from the airport, which is convenient for participants to travel back and forth. The space is large enough to accommodate nearly 2,000 spectators, and the ticket revenue is half the share.

The specific process is for participants to attend, take photos, accept media interviews, participate in two rounds of competitions, volunteer to participate in charity sales, attend a thank-you dinner, and provide free sports drinks throughout the process, with a total of no more than two hours.

Ten media outlets were initially booked, and hundreds of media outlets were confirmed, including sports and entertainment.

The Lakers are responsible for security and other work, and all other work is left to Li Zhe.

According to rough statistics, the budget is definitely less than 50,000 US dollars, but the actual effect is better than activities such as giving out season tickets directly.

After reading it, Li Zhe thought it was feasible and forwarded it to the Lakers.

About half an hour, the Lakers responded that it was feasible, and Vice President of Operations Jenny Buss would cooperate to follow up.

Li Zhe posted a Twitter call to gather his teammates and received a reply soon. Kobe said he wanted to see the situation, and Ate said he would accompany his wife to do a spa. Odom, Walton and others happily agreed, confirming that a total of six teammates participated.

Thousands of praise and praise followed, and soon became a hot topic on Twitter.

But even so, there are still some opposition voices that are sought after.

"It's a show again! There was no follow-up on the last student fund. This time I took advantage of the team's power to promote myself!"

"Inflation! As a rookie, you should hurry up and train. The Mavericks are much better than the Clippers!"

"Is it a money-making scam without detailed instructions and plans for raising funds?"

Li Zhe did not respond to these remarks. Opponents thought he was guilty and questioned and ridiculed him became stronger and stronger.

But the Lakers officially updated Twitter, saying that this bowling match was initiated by the Lakers and hosted by Li Zhe's team. All the funds raised will be publicly subject to public supervision, and opponents will disappear without a trace in an instant.

TMZ forwarded the news and claimed that most of the game costs were borne by Li Zhe, and the Lakers' official Twitter reply confirmed.

Upon hearing this news, many fans expressed their support on site, and Gaborhouse Stadium announced that all tickets were sold out.

Subsequently, big names such as Mark Wahlberg announced that they would attend and participate in the competition, and the discussions were more popular.

In the evening, Li Zhe received a call from Duffy. Three sports drink companies saw that the bowling competition had too much influence and wanted to place advertisements. After a discussion, the two decided that the higher the price would be, and the three companies immediately started a competition.

In the end, Gatorade received the right to sponsor for $100,000. Li Zhe not only recovered the fee, but also decided to use the excess as a donation. The condition was to post a thank you on Twitter and put Gatorade in a prominent position during the game.

…

At 6 pm on the 29th, the Gabriel House Arena in Los Angeles was brightly lit.

Li Zhe wore ordinary sportswear and walked to the temporary wooden platform at the entrance of the arena with Jenny Buss, a vice president of operations who was full of business, and waited side by side for the Lakers and a group of celebrities to arrive. The media on the scene also began to prepare for photography.

"I heard there was some misunderstanding between you and Phil?" Jenny suddenly asked in a low voice.

Li Zhe was slightly stunned when he heard this. This was the second close contact between the two after he joined the Lakers.

The first time was Jenny took him to visit the Lakers' related facilities at Staples Center. It was a business exchange and had no scruples on the chat topic. Now it was a private exchange, and the topic was still so sensitive that he didn't know how to answer it for the moment.

Seeing him hesitating, Jenny smiled and said, "Maybe because of cultural differences, you may have different understandings of the same sentence, but I firmly believe that his starting point is to think about the team. If you feel uncomfortable about it, you can raise it, publicly, privately, no matter what method it is. I can help you eliminate misunderstandings."

Speaking of this, Li Zhe could not continue to remain silent and said casually: "Maybe there are, but they are all over. I have never taken it to my heart. You don't need to worry. I have the same goals as him, and I am also considering the team."

"That's good. Another thing, Andrew Bynum contacted me before and said that he likes bowling very much and wants to come over to play, but I told him that this game is up to you..."

"Let him come over."

Before Jenny could finish her speech, Li Zhe answered in advance. He knew very well that Jenny deliberately gave up power to make him feel respected because it was not up to him to decide who to participate in the team, but that was the rule set before.

"That's great. I'll let him know later."

Not long after, there were waves of car roaring from far to near.

Li Zhe looked around and drove various cars such as Ferrari, Cadillac, Hummer, etc. to the parking lot outside the stadium. Kobe, Odom and others seemed to have made an appointment to arrive. After getting off the car, they walked towards the entrance together and greeted the two of them from afar.

Li Zhe shook hands with several people one by one, exchanged greetings, and took photos hand in hand.

Just after seeing off Kobe and the others, another beauty with black hair and gray low-cut short-sleeved beauty walked up.
Chapter completed!
