Chapter 49: The Black Mamba Basketball Game

Day 3 after the Red Challenge.

"Yi, the Black Mamba Basketball Game has started to register, are you interested?"

Vali said with Robert.

"Of course!"

Zhang Yi replied that even if he plays basketball every day, it is not too much.

"Black Mamba Basketball Game?"

"The basketball league created by the legendary superstar Kobe Bryant, three against three for high school students across the United States, we can still participate in this year."

Vali explained.

"This tournament has been dominated by five-star high school students in the past, let's go and pull them into the water this year!"

Robert said excitedly.

"Haha, which high school student who can be rated as a five-star is not a master, how can it be as simple as you say."

It looks like Vali is in a good mood right now.

"What's the reward?" Zhang Yi asked curiously.

"No trophies, no rings, no bonuses." Vali replied mysteriously.

"What's that for?"

Zhang Yi scratched his head and looked displeased, Lian Yunhua's game still had a broken trophy, but he didn't expect that in basketball, American capitalism is not evil at all......

"Is the news all fake? Isn't it true that you can earn tens of thousands of dollars by winning a game? ”

Hearing this, Robert subconsciously grabbed the T sleeve on his chest.

When he thinks of the fiasco on the day of the junior high school street finals, his heart still aches.

"You're right. Of course there is a prize money for the street races I participate in, and I want the prize money to treat here. ”

Robert said, gesturing to his heart.

"It's a pity that I lost in the end."

His face had turned iron-blue.

"Robert, stop thinking about the past. Isn't it great that you can play now, you can score, you can win at all costs? ”

Zhang Yi said in a deep voice.

He found that American children are not psychologically good, and they like to immerse themselves in the past, whether they succeed or fail.

Robert and Wal-E.

"By the way, what's the reward?"

Vali smiled, "The reward is a dinner. ”

"Dinner with the Kobe family!"

Zhang Yi was stunned, because in his mind, Kobe Bryant was already an old man who had long been away from the camera and the news.

Even if he used to be able to do anything in the NBA, it was more than 30 years ago......

"Remember what I told you, the Black Mamba has long been an indispensable symbol of the city of Los Angeles."

"Although he is over seventy years old, Kobe Bryant is still the godfather of basketball here, and his status is unmatched!"

Wali said with interest, "Having dinner with him is not only an honor, but also a way for you to gain exposure." ”

"Exposure?"

Zhang Yi asked, because he didn't expect to play basketball and still need fame?

"That's right! Last year's MVP was a transparent player who didn't receive any invitations from basketball schools before the game, but after having dinner with the Black Mamba, do you know how many invitations he received? ”

"Eight letters! And all eight of them are from the top 10 universities in the U.S. in basketball. ”

Zhang Yi looked at Wali in surprise.

"It's like Genji made a name for himself in the high school league, people call him a genius, but it's a fame that comes from accumulating results over several seasons."

"Having dinner with Kobe Bryant and getting the same exposure as him overnight, who wouldn't want it?"

Zhang Yi nodded, "It seems that it will be an interesting game." ”

"It's a hellish competition!"

"Moreover, the MVP is not always from the winners, and legend has it that Kobe Bryant will watch the game somewhere, and he has his own criteria for selecting winners!"

On the same day, Zhang Yi and the others went to register, and the main competition started next Friday.

"Hey, Robert!"

Just as the three of them were about to leave, a voice stopped Robert from behind them.

"Grant? Hey, bro! ”

Robert excitedly punches a black boy about 175 tall.

"Introduction, this is my junior high school rival, 'Little Gunslinger' Grant. These two are my UCLA teammates, Yi and Vali. ”

"Hello!" As he spoke, Grant made a muzzle motion.

made Robert laugh, "You kid really hasn't changed!" ”

"I hope your basketball skills haven't changed!"

After saying that, Grant made another gesture to collect the gun and went to sign up with his teammates.

"Don't be fooled by his skinny appearance, this guy has nearly 50 percent of his three-point crosshairs, and he's not a catch-and-shoot pitcher, he has a keen sense of judgment and can create his own chances on the move."

"It's not just Grant, there are at least five five-star high school students here, and that's just what I know."

Robert said in a deep voice.

After listening, Vali swallowed his saliva and glanced at the dozens of high school basketball players around him, thinking that none of the people who came here to play were really good.

"Haha, that's great, that's great! If only the contest started now! ”

Zhang Yi's voice suddenly rose up, startling Robert and Vali.

The eyes of the audience suddenly fell on the boy with the eastern face, and the atmosphere suddenly condensed.

"Who is this?" "Fresh faces, it doesn't look good."

"Ignore him, it's just a grandstanding yellow-skinned boy."

They began to talk.

Zhang Yi swaggered outside amid their criticism.

Robert, the others were embarrassed to follow.

Suddenly, a tall white boy stood in front of Zhang Yi, he was very strong, but he had protective gear on his knees and wrists.

"Hehe, you look like you're happy."

"Shouldn't you be happy when you have a game?"

Zhang Yi looked at him like a fool.

"When the game starts, you'd better pray don't bump into me, or I'll let you leave crying!"

The boy's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said viciously.

Zhang Yi spread his hands, as if he didn't pay attention to him at all.

Before the argument escalated, Robert and the others took Zhang Yi away, and they still had an apologetic expression on their faces.

"Yi, the person who found fault just now is also a five-star high school student, and he is in a bad mood because he missed the NBA draft because of an injury in the summer."

"In this game, he will definitely vent all the anger he is holding on his opponent, so we'd better stay away from him."

Zhang Yi didn't listen to their advice at all, because for him, such an opponent was interesting.

At this moment, a figure in a hoodie passed by Robert.

Robert's forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, and his body trembled unconsciously.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yi immediately asked.

"It must be my delusion, I seem to have seen a man who couldn't be here."

Robert's breath was faint, and his voice was much weaker, and it could be seen that he was very jealous of the guy in his mouth.

Zhang Yi looked back and saw that the hoodie man had already walked into the registration field.

He was about to turn around and chase after him, "Let's go back!" Robert stopped him at once, and then called the car with his head down.

On the way back, Robert had been pondering, not speaking, and their atmosphere was extremely cold.

At this time, Zhang Yi finally received another flying letter from Lucy.

"I'll be waiting for you at the coffee shop across the street from the South Gate of UCLA. Lucy"

Zhang Yi returned to the dormitory and immediately picked up the blot box and ran to the south gate, because he had been waiting for a long time to finish these things with Lucy.
