Chapter 207 [Kobe's Wedding, Pre-War Preparations]
On the 18th, Kobe Bryant was the most beautiful person in the NBA, stealing the limelight of the regular season curtain call. It's not that he has locked in any awards, but that he is getting married today.
The reporters didn't have enough interviews at the press conference yesterday, and today they all paid attention to Kobe's wedding and continued to interview the players.
The Lakers coaching staff and players attended the wedding en masse, and several people from the uniform team also came, including team doctor Gary Wetti, Jenny Buss, Jim Buss siblings, etc., everyone was dressed in formal suits, giving Kobe Bryant enough face.
The wedding became very lively, so many people supported Kobe's decision, Kobe's parents, relatives and friends will naturally not be absent, and the atmosphere is completely different from the low-key wedding of 12 people in Guo Xu's previous life, and it was happy.
Megan Fox was also invited to the wedding and became one of Vanessa's five bridesmaids, because Guo Xu took Megan to Kobe's house twice and helped them say a lot of good things, so that Kobe's parents completely dispelled the idea of beating mandarin ducks.
Kobe's parents knew that they couldn't stop the wedding, so they said a few good words about Vanessa in an interview and recognized the daughter-in-law, and the media could no longer speculate and question.
The style of the wedding, the main colors, and so on are all decided by Vanessa. On the afternoon of the 16th, they had a rehearsal for the wedding, attended by the bride, groom, officiant, all the bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, ring boys, pianists, assistants who lead the guests, and their families.
Guo Xu and his wife participated in an American wedding for the first time, and they had a great sense of accomplishment as an old man in the basketball world.
The wedding starts on time, and to the music, the groomsmen, bridesmaids, flower girls, the bride and groom and their parents enter one after another.
Bryant was a little nervous, and he didn't blink so often when he shot the key shot, and he was restless.
Looking at the five bridesmaids, Guo Xu couldn't help but want to complain, they were wearing black dresses, which is impossible to happen in China.
The bridesmaids dressed up and Wu Qianlian's version of the little dragon girl seem to have to come to the wedding? Because other versions of the little dragon girl are the color of the bride, it is a tradition for female guests to try to avoid wearing white.
The newlyweds each read their vows under the auspices of the priest, and then exchanged rings, which the priest declared legally husband and wife. As a bystander, Guo Xu could really feel the strong love between the two, and he cried and laughed when he read it.
After the ceremony, there was a dinner, which was very formal, the parents of the bride and groom, the best man and bridesmaids, the bride and groom were seated one after another, and Kobe and Vanessa had their own special seats.
Guo Xu delivered a speech on behalf of everyone as the best man: "Let's raise a glass to wish Kobe and Vanessa happiness, grow old together, and love forever." ”
Vanessa's best friend bridesmaid also gave a brief speech, and then the music sounded and the couple danced the first dance of the wedding.
Vanessa's father, Stephen, then sends a message to the bride and dances with her.
What Guo Xu didn't expect was that Kobe's mother would dance with Kobe, which is really strange. Their dance moves are relatively simple, Kobe Bryant is smiling all the time, and he is really happy.
Seeing Guo Xu in a daze, Megan touched his arm and asked, "Hey, what are you thinking?" ”
Guo Xu replied casually because of his wandering: "I was thinking about what the scene would be when Shakira and Pique got married, and their family danced." ”
They may be excited with their guests, and the music is also vibrant, Guo Xu thinks it must be very interesting.
"Who are they? Do I know each other? Megan asked.
Shakira only released her first English-language album, Laundry Service, in November 2001, and since then she has been popular outside of Latin countries. It's normal that Megan doesn't know her now.
Guo Xu realized that he had spoiled it, and now Pique, who was born in 87, is still a middle school student. He raised an eyebrow. "Uh...... You don't know, it's a friend of mine from middle school. ”
The food was high-end Western food, and after eating, the table was withdrawn, and the DJ on the scene began to play music again, and the audience began to dance, and everyone was happy.
During the period, the two actors of the Lakers crew stood up to liven up the atmosphere, and O'Neal squeezed Guo Xu away with the posture of grabbing the rebound card position, and grabbed the embroidery thrown by the bride, which caused the audience to laugh.
Today, the relationship between O'Neal and Kobe Bryant is like returning to the fourth game of the 2000 Finals, and O'Fat is willing to carry Kobe back to the locker room.
There was a lot of love at the scene, not only the two newcomers, but also the parents of both sides were dancing in the music, and they couldn't help but kiss. Many people, young or not, make out with their female partners in the sweet atmosphere of the wedding.
Guo Xu and Megan were the most eye-catching, the two danced a Latin dance, the male was professional, the female was hot, everyone stopped to make room for them, and the cameraman also recorded a video for them, which is very memorable.
After dancing a song, the audience applauded, O'Neill's drum was the most energetic, he could only dance mechanically, Latin he liked very much but couldn't play, if he shook it, it was to shake the fat.
Of course, the two of them just danced vigorously and did not kiss, although the atmosphere was great, but Guo Xu was a reasonable person, and if he wanted to commit a crime, he couldn't do it on this occasion, there were too many witnesses.
The Lakers players didn't leave early, chatting, drinking and dancing until midnight, and a reporter posted a news message lamenting that the Lakers players had gone crazy, as if they were celebrating the championship in advance, and the atmosphere of the wedding was very happy and pleasant.
The Lakers players are relaxed and in the best shape for the playoffs, which makes more sense than just a dinner party.
The next day, the Lakers' 13-man roster was confirmed.
Centre-forwards: Shackle O'Neal, Greg Foster.
Power forwards: Mark Madsen, Horace Grant, Robert Horry.
Small forwards: Rick Fox, Devin George, Ryan Bowen.
Shooting guards: Kobe Bryant, Bryan Shaw, Mike Panpersi.
Point guards: Guo Xu, Derrick Fisher.
Harper and Medvidenko did not make the playoff squad.
Although Harper is recovering from injury, his competitive form is terrible and there is no need to return. He can't play for a few minutes even if he plays, Guo Xu and Fisher are enough in the No. 1 position, and Pan Persi and Brian Shaw can also make cameo appearances in the No. 1 position.
Medvidenko played in just 28 games all season, averaging five minutes per game, all of which were garbage time to work, he had a steady mid-range shot, but he was too slow to move and was substandard on the defensive end, so he could only be a fringe man.
Defense is very critical in the playoffs, and "Zen Master" prefers to bring an experienced Foster who can also shoot from the field. Madsen can help the team with defense, and the Lakers will need him to be on the court at some point.
Basketball pundits collectively expressed optimism on the Lakers defending their title, with ESPN citing their top three strengths.
First, the Lakers have a lot of people playing, veterans have experience, and young players are energetic, and they can arrange the lineup according to the opponent's style of play.
The second is that the Lakers' offensive power is stronger than last season, there are super scorers inside and outside, and when O'Neal is off the court and plays a quick counterattack, the benches can also score efficiently.
The third is that the Lakers strengthened the No. 1 position, the biggest shortcoming of last season, but it has become a strong point. Guo Xu broke through sharply, and Fisher, who came off the bench, could also open up space and shoot three points after receiving the ball. Encountering a strong point guard on the defensive end can allow Fisher to start, and against a short guard, Guo Xu will almost certainly be able to suppress the opponent.
Experts have come to a conclusion that the Timberwolves are going to be unlucky in the first round, not only will the series be swept, but the game may be slaughtered! ()
