We had a day off after the game against the Hornets before re-flying to Toronto, Canada, where we took on the Raptors on the road.

To be honest, the constant running around by plane was a bit hard to get used to at first, but I couldn't find a better way to relieve the fatigue of traveling.

I decided to use the rest of the day to relax, at least not to train as hard as I am, maybe watch the game tapes, or drive out to have fun.

I slept well that night, and when I returned home to the familiar bed, I became more relaxed, and when I woke up early the next morning, I immediately found myself in a pretty good state of mind, as if I hadn't been on two consecutive road trips.

After breakfast, I decided to go to the gym at home for some proper recovery training, and the most important thing is to relax and stretch the muscles and ligaments that used to be very expensive, for which I also found a video of yoga training, and then got a TV set to the gym, so that I can train while watching the video, and some of the fitness videos that the Lakers trainers helped me find, and he hoped that I could develop a good posture. Wrong posture can have potentially adverse effects on our body in many cases.

The training lasted about an hour, which was obviously a small intensity for me, but today I decided not to do a big strength and conditioning workout, but to relax as much as possible between races.

After lunch, I drove out for a walk, and the last time I went to Hollywood, I went to play ball, but I didn't get a chance to find those Hollywood movie stars, but then again, I don't seem to know very many Hollywood stars in the 90s, just like Nicolas Cage and Schwarzenegger are a little more familiar.

Just when I didn't have a specific goal to go to, I suddenly took out a small note from my coat pocket, which was not handed to me by the girl who was at the party Shaq was having at the time.

"Jessica, that's a nice name, or I'll call and talk to her."

I called Jessica on my car phone, and the clear voice of a young woman came from the other end of the line.

"Jessica?"

"You are? Wow! I didn't expect you to call me! ”

"I didn't bother you."

"No, of course not, you can call me whenever you have time."

"Actually, I don't have anything to do, but I just have time to go out today, but you know, I've only been in Los Angeles for a short time, if I can have someone more familiar with guide me."

"I can be your free guide, if only you treat me to coffee."

"Well, no problem, that."

"Give me half an hour to put on my makeup, and we'll meet at the bar in half an hour."

"Still going to the bar?"

"I'm afraid you won't find it anywhere else, so let's talk about it when we get there."

Twenty minutes later I drove to the bar where Shaq was partying that night, and it was quite quiet during the day, and it was only after night that it became a different scene.

"You're coming pretty fast!"

I could catch a glimpse of Jessica as she had just stepped out of a red car, and the lights in the bar that night were so brilliant that I couldn't quite see her clearly, and it was hard to imagine how much effort she had to spend on her hair every day, with her long blond hair running down her shoulders and near her waist.

I was a little fascinated, until she came to me and snapped her fingers in front of my eyes, I had to say that her height has reached the standard of a model, wearing high heels, she is only about half a head shorter than me, that is, about 1.85 meters tall, and her whole body is very well proportioned, is the kind of type that makes men impress as long as they look at it.

"I didn't expect you to come so quickly, and you're so beautiful, forgive me for being a bit abrupt when I say that, but that's what I'm really thinking now."

"Compared to the other NBA stars, you seem a little shy."

Before I could react, Jessica put her arm around me, and I walked forward with my arms around her waist.

"Where are we going?"

I asked, a little puzzled.

"Would you like to have a few drinks with me first?"

Her voice is very gentle and moving, in fact, the contours of her whole face are very soft, and she belongs to the type that will be called a beauty in both Western and Eastern aesthetics, and it is a very amazing beauty, but I can also occasionally find some sadness in her eyes that is not easy to be noticed, and I don't know if it is my personal delusion.

So we went to that bar again, and I didn't really have much idea of how much I was drinking, after all, this body was at my disposal not long ago, and minors are not allowed to drink alcohol in the United States, and Kobe Bryant is just old enough to drink.

"You seem to know a lot about the NBA."

"My dad was a very loyal Lakers fan, and he used to go to the game as early as the early 70s, when the Lakers were in the ancient Big Three, and it is said that he liked to watch games because of his father's influence, so this is a kind of family heritage."

"So you're often at Lakers games, can I see you in Staples?"

"Of course, maybe you didn't notice me, I watched all the Lakers home games this season, so I have seen your performance, and I will come to greet you if I have the opportunity to play the next Lakers home game."

"yes, I'm really lucky to have fans like you! Do you really pay special attention to my performance? ”

"Actually, I will also pay a lot of attention to everything about the Lakers, but your rookie performance is really very bright, although I didn't go to the away game, but I will also watch the game live at home, I am glad that you can adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game so quickly, and the cooperation between you and Shaq seems to be quite smooth, not at all like just becoming teammates."

"I don't know what to say about Shaq, you know we've only been teammates for a long time, and he's a little bit immature, and sometimes I'm just worried that he's going to put too much energy on something other than basketball and affect the game, and I just hope we can keep winning and end up being champions."

"You should believe in yourself, you should believe in Shaq, I and all the Lakers fans believe in you, Jordan has just returned to the league, you should take advantage of his full recovery, completely crush the Bulls, and win the championship ring."

I smiled and drained the cocktail from my glass, then looked up again and looked her in the eye seriously.

"You said you were going to be my guide today, and you'll take me to Los Angeles to have some fun."

"No problem."
