Chapter Twenty-Nine: Memories
When he returned to the lounge, Luo Han saw a room of people looking at him with fiery eyes, as if they were going to eat people, Luo Han also knew what everyone was thinking, so he could only smile helplessly and said: "That, I didn't mean to hide it from everyone, I will tell you slowly when you eat when you want to know, I will invite you to eat." β
Park Taewoo and Luo Han's sister Luo Qianyu didn't go, this is a gathering of Luo Han's friends in South Korea, I don't know them well, and going will make the atmosphere embarrassing, it's better not to go, although it's not easy to see stars, especially to get in touch with celebrities so closely, but think about the relationship between Luo Han and them, there will be no less back and forth in the future, so the two decided to do their own things with peace of mind.
Luo Han took Jiang Hudong and others to a Chinese restaurant that he was very familiar with, the Chinese food made in this store is very authentic, because the owner of the store is an authentic Chinese, so Luo Han often comes to this restaurant, and has brought Jessica several times. The boss saw Luo Han, and Jessica came in, but he didn't see Liu Zaishi, Jiang Hudong and others, and immediately greeted: "Yo, Xiaohan, you're here with Jessica again?" β
Listening to the boss's teasing words, Jessica blushed a little embarrassed, this sentence made the other people who followed behind suddenly ignite a raging fire of gossip, in order to prevent them from coaxing on the spot, and the boss exposed something, although he and Jessica didn't do anything except eat, Luo Han still hurriedly said: "Yes, Uncle Jiang, we are here again, but this time I also brought a lot of my good friends, please prepare a larger box for us." β
At this moment, the boss saw the national MC Liu Zaishi, Jiang Hudong and others who had just entered the door: "Oh Mo." Liu Zaishi xi, Jiang Hudong xi, how are you guys, hurry up. "Hurry up and get everyone into a bigger box.
Everyone sat down in the box, because there were more people, and after connecting the two boxes, the two tables were put together to be enough for so many people to sit together. After everyone sat down, Jiang Hudong, who was more anxious, first asked: "Xiao Han, it turns out that you still have such a big secret, and you know a basketball superstar like Kobe, why didn't you tell us?" β
With Jiang Hudong's challenge, Liu Zaishi and others also joined the ranks of the "crusade" against Luo Han: "Yes, Xiaohan, you didn't even tell us, you still know these basketball stars, and I forgot to ask him for an autograph just now, ouch." After speaking, Liu Zaishi looked regretful. This is also normal, although he and others are also stars, but only in South Korea, in the face of NBA superstars such as Kobe Bryant and Westbrook, there are huge fans around the world, and compared with them, it is nothing to compare.
"I'm sorry, guys, but I really didn't mean to hide it. As you all know, I went from middle school to college in the United States, and the university is the University of California, Los Angeles, maybe you don't know much about college basketball, our UCLA is a traditional basketball school, and North Carolina, and Duke, is the NCAA, that is, the strong team of the American college basketball league. Since middle school, I've been as hooked on basketball as most teenagers, and I've idolized Jordan and Iverson to be as good as they are. β
"Because it seems that my athletic talent and physical condition are much better than my peers, even though I was introduced to basketball relatively late, I still learned basketball very quickly, and the level of basketball immediately surpassed the local American children who were introduced to basketball earlier, and became the highest level of basketball in school. Slowly I reached the age of college, so I chose UCLA, a famous basketball school close to home. Soon my basketball talent was noticed by the coach at the time, Wooddon, and I made a difference in my school team. β
"I was on the varsity team with Russell, whom you just met. Westbrook, when we were young people who had just entered college, we were naturally very unconvinced to see a person whose basketball skills did not have to be self-inferior, and always wanted to compare the highs and lows, so in addition to the school team training, the two of us often practiced together, and there were one-on-one heads-up. In this way, Russell's relationship with me slowly changed from being unconvinced at the beginning, to becoming best friends, and we teamed up to win the championship in the college basketball league, even if the last MVP was me, it didn't make Russell unhappy, he was congratulating me and practicing harder. β
Luo Han took a sip of water, and after running his mouth and throat dry, he continued: "Later, during the summer vacation, we didn't relax and practice, and soaked in the stadium all day, and Kobe Bryant also met at this time. One day, Russell and I came to the arena to practice as usual, but I didn't expect to see Kobe Bryant who was also practicing here, and it was precisely because he was young at that time that he was not afraid of anything and dared to try anything, so I challenged Kobe, and even Russell on the side was stunned. In the end, of course, I lost, Kobe Bryant was in his prime, whether it was technique, physical condition or actual combat experience, it was the best condition, so Kobe Bryant won 7-3 out of 10 balls. β
"But don't underestimate me as if I won badly, this is already a very good result for us college students, not all of us can score three goals on Kobe's head, and even in the NBA, there are very few people who can compete with Kobe, let alone us. Although I lost, I was unexpectedly praised by Kobe Bryant and told me that he would be here all the time these days, and at this time, if we were interested in practicing with him, we should come here at this time of the day. After hearing the news, Russell and I were very happy, can you understand this feeling, it's like BeyoncΓ© called you one day and told you, let's make music together, and your mood at this time is our mood at that time. After I went back, I couldn't even sleep at night, although it seems a bit exaggerated, but it was true that this was the case at the time. β
Recalling the situation at that time, Luo Han himself couldn't help laughing, but no one else laughed, and listened carefully to Luo Han's story: "In the next few days, Russell and I appeared in that arena every day and even half an hour in advance, and it was an incomparably glorious thing to be able to practice with Kobe, that is, during this time, Russell's basketball skills improved a lot, Kobe pointed out a lot of mistakes to us, and provided a lot of advice, and slowly I and Kobe Bryant fought ten balls and occasionally I could have a tie with Kobe, Even if it's only once or twice, it's worth my joy for a month. β
"Since then, Kobe Bryant and I have become familiar and have gradually become good friends. It was this month of practice with Kobe Bryant that took our basketball skills to the next level, and then we won the championship again, although I got the title of MVP, Russell was also very happy, although envious, but not the slightest bit of jealousy, because we are best friends. Later, we even made an appointment to participate in the NBA draft next year, and continue to fight in the NBA in the future. β
Speaking of this, Luo Han stopped, paused, and Jiang Hudong asked curiously, "Isn't that good?" Why did you give up playing ball and open a dessert shop in South Korea? Jiang Hudong asked the voices of everyone present, this was originally a logical thing, but why did it change so much?
