Near the Staples Center, the core of downtown Los Angeles, this area has the highest housing prices.

In just two days, it fell by almost 10%.

Former Mayor Tom Bradley spent 20 years developing the entire Los Angeles area.

Dick Riordan's main contribution was the development of downtown Los Angeles.

But what if the scene that happened in lower Manhattan was also completely played out in downtown Los Angeles.

It can be said that most of Dick Riordan's greatest achievement was wasted in one fell swoop.

At this time, if Abel Smith, a senior Elephant Party leader, comes out and says something bad about Los Angeles.

Then Dick Riordan must be in even greater trouble.

Affected Angelenos may wonder whether Dick Riordan is up to his job.

Fortunately, not only did Abel not say anything bad about Los Angeles, but he did so within a few days of the incident.

Appearing at Staples Center.

For Dick Riordan, this is the best support for the mayor.

The favor was reciprocated, and Dick Riordan wanted to move up.

Plus the entire top brass within the Donkey Party.

For a long time, he also wanted to win over Abel Smith, who seemed to have no hostility towards the Donkey Party, to his side.

After all, many of these super bosses are from different camps.

Like Rockefeller, Morgan, etc...

There are not many people who truly defend one camp to the death.

Of course the Donkey Party thought Abel was like this too.

After communicating with the senior leaders of the Donkey Party.

Dick Riordan took the initiative and showed up at Staples Center today.

At this moment, Dick Riordan was like a lackey.

When talking to Abel, his attitude was so good that it surprised David Stern.

Mr. Mayor stayed with Abel like this, watching today's NBA regular season game.

Confronting Dick Riordan's clichés.

Abel, who had a very senior makeup artist specially make him look as pale as today, smiled slightly.

In this state and appearance, he showed this smile.

In front of countless TV screens, the female viewers screamed inwardly that they couldn't stand it.

"It is the yearning for freedom and the pursuit of freedom that made our ancestors bravely appear on this land with the desire for a new world."

When it comes to telling clichés, Abel, who was a Chinese in his previous life, is really not afraid of anyone.

Even if he's not professional, he always talks the same thing when he speaks.

"As a citizen of the United States of America, I will not compromise or surrender to evil and terror as long as I die."

"no way!"

Dick Riordan smiles.

He said without any embarrassment:

"Yes, that's why you are a great person! Los Angeles thanks you, and I thank you very much!"

This guy kept his posture very low and even used honorifics.

It also made Abel admire the cultivation of these senior and serious guests in this area.

As long as it is profitable, for these animals, it means face, camp and dignity.

Some even have wives and children, all of whom are nothing.

Next to him, David Stern kept smiling while listening to the conversation between the two big guys.

But as time goes by, the game is about to begin.

David Stern had to speak softly to interrupt the conversation between the two bosses.

"Oh, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Riordan..."

David Stern whispered: "Game time is almost here. Mr. Smith, would you like to say a few words?"

This was something that the NBA had discussed with Abel before today.

Abel will be in the NBA tonight at Staples Center for this game.

It was the first time he appeared in public after the attack.

David Stern and the NBA certainly welcome this with both hands and feet.

Looking around, there are at least hundreds of first- and second-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry.

There are also an equally large number of other entertainment celebrities or social celebrities.

They're here, 9/10, because of Abel Smith.

The remaining 1/10 is Dick Riordan.

Tonight, David Stern feels that the NBA will have its highest ratings night ever.

The key to this, league executives unanimously believe, lies in Abel Smith.

Abel at the Staples Center.

Whether he will speak at the Staples Center tonight will play a decisive role in the ratings.

David Stern naturally hopes that Abel will speak to the public today and say more.

As agreed, David Stern reminded Abel that it was time to say something to the public.

Facing David Stern's reminder, Abel smiled and nodded.

David Stern waved back excitedly.

His closest subordinate, former special assistant and current NBA vice president Adam Silver, handed over the microphone like an errand boy.

Taking the microphone, David Stern made a few gestures.

The behind-the-scenes control center of the Staples Center broadcast also connected to the sound signal.

Soon David Stern's voice was amplified through the device.

Appeared in the somewhat noisy Staples Center Arena.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, I am very happy that you can appear at the Staples Center tonight."

"I am David Stern, and you may all know me. Before the game starts, Mr. Abel Smith, the symbol of the light of freedom and the world's number one philanthropist, would like to say something to everyone on this occasion.

"

"Now, I hope that all Americans can applaud for one of our American spiritual symbols, our Mr. Abel Smith!!"

After David Stern's excited voice ended, the president held the microphone in front of the camera and applauded hard.

There were nearly 20,000 spectators at Staples Center today, and they applauded very much.

Jay-Z and his manager Lidl, like other entertainment superstars, stood up and took the lead in applauding.

The deafening applause made the entire Staples Center seem to resonate.

This is the biggest applause in the history of this famous West Coast entertainment center that just opened a few years ago!

Under the eyes of everyone and the deafening applause.

Abel, with a white gauze on his head and a smile on his face, took the microphone from David Stern.

"Good evening."

"A few months ago, our fellow citizens, our lives, and the freedoms we cherish came under a deliberate attack."

"Many hijacked passengers and staff at work were unfortunately killed."

"They may be: secretaries, businessmen, women, military or federal government staff, parents, your relatives, friends or neighbors."

"Thousands of people suddenly lost their precious lives due to despicable and criminal acts. Faced with pictures of plane crashes, raging fires, collapsed buildings, etc., we cannot believe the tragedy before our eyes and feel extremely sad and angry."

"Their large-scale killings are designed to lead our country and our lives into chaos and regression."

"But their conspiracy will not succeed. Our country is still strong, and great Americans have been mobilized to defend their country."

"The fate that happened to thousands of people a few days ago happened to me personally."

"And what I want to say now is-"

"In the past, it was impossible for them to succeed. Now, it is also impossible for them to succeed."

"Here, I want to say a word to all Americans and all people in the world who pursue peace."
