Yiyang and Vignarie's date on the beach lasted until noon, and if it weren't for the growing crowd, neither of them would have been reluctant to leave the basketball court.

Although she wears sunglasses and a baseball cap, Vignarie's Yiyang jersey is still too conspicuous in Los Angeles. Right now, almost all of Angelenos hate that No. 1 and hate that blue Mavericks jersey. It's not very safe to walk around the streets of Los Angeles in such a dress.

In the evening, Yiyang and Vignari are invited to Kobe's mansion in Beverly Hills. Although he lost the game, after hearing that Yiyang was still staying in Los Angeles, the atmospheric Kobe Bryant still did his landlord's friendship.

On the way to Kobe's house, Yiyang was still a little embarrassed. After all, Kobe Bryant's current vacation was given to Kobe by himself and his teammates. Facing an opponent who has just been eliminated by himself, it is normal for Yiyang to have this kind of thought.

However, when Yiyang and Vignari arrived, the enthusiasm of Kobe's family made Yiyang quickly relax. At this point, the man in short sleeves and shorts, with a pair of flip-flops on his feet, didn't seem to have anything to do with the deadly "black mamba" on the court.

"What, are you reluctant to leave Los Angeles?" In the afternoon, Vanessa and a few servants prepare dinner in the kitchen, while Vignarie and Kobe's two daughters play in the yard. In the living room, there are only Kobe and Yiyang. Seeing Yiyang sitting on the sofa with an unnatural restrained appearance, Kobe Bryant opened his mouth in an attempt to break the awkward silence.

"Uh...... She said she wanted to have fun here, so I stayed. Yiyang looked out the window at Vignari who was smiling with the little girls, and Kobe Bryant knew who "she" meant.

"Relax or relax, when are you going to get married?"

"Poof!" Yiyang just took a sip of water, and after hearing Kobe Bryant's words, he almost couldn't help but squirt it out.

"Married?" In the Chinese mind, marriage is a very important thing. And usually, Chinese rarely make the decision to get married so early.

"yes, get married." Kobe Bryant was serious, and he got engaged to his current wife at Vanessa's 18th birthday party. Black players tend to marry very early, and sometimes players who look young are likely to have children, and more than one.

"It's too early...... Too early ......"

"Hahaha, you Chinese are always so shy when it comes to things between men and women. That's an unrestrained Italian girl, too. I have lived in Italy before and I know the Italians very well. They don't like to be shy and restrained, but rather direct and passionate. Bryant said as he exaggerated his hand movements. Passion, you know? Do you have any gifts for that girl? Did you say anything to her to express your feelings? ”

"Nope." Yiyang thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"That's what's wrong with you, passion. In front of Italian girls, you have to show your passion. Hey, she's a good girl, take it! From time to time, I also give each other some small surprises. Hey, I don't tell him that! Kobe Bryant pretended to lower his voice mysteriously, winked at Yiyang, and then showed an expression that seemed to be smiling.

Fervor...... Is it?

"What are you talking about?" At this time, Vanessa came out of the kitchen and sat intimately next to Kobe.

"It's nothing, I'm just telling him how to be better to his girlfriend."

"Hey, how did you meet?" As soon as she heard this topic, Vanessa was also excited. Women, it seems, are born to like to talk about these things.

"When I was shooting a commercial for Adidas...... She and I are both spokespersons. So, there is an acquaintance. Yiyang will never forget that day, the first time he came to palatial Los Angeles, and the first time he had such intimate contact with a girl.

"Oh, that's like us. Do you remember? At that time, we were filming the music video for Snoop Dogg (the famous American rapper). I wasn't a particularly famous football star at the time, and I kept an eye on her for two days of filming, chatting with her in between shoots. After that she gave me the phone number, and I called her the next day and we talked for hours. Bryant said, and the couple snuggled sweetly together.

Looking at this sweet family, Yiyang felt very envious. Because since he was a child, Yiyang has never had such a family atmosphere. He and his mother lived in starvation and cold, and it wasn't until they became professional footballers that their lives finally improved.

I really wish I had such a sweet home, at least when I was away, my mother didn't have to live alone......

In the yard, two cute little black girls are calling their mother. Vanessa left the living room and joined Vignarie's group. There were only two men left in the huge living room again, Kobe and Yiyang, and the atmosphere that had just eased up seemed to have solidified again.

"In yesterday's game, you guys were really ruthless." In the end, the topic of the two still touched on basketball. It's time to talk about something that men should talk about.

"Haha...... Everybody's in the good hands. Yiyang laughed dryly, not even daring to make eye contact with Kobe.

"Our goal this season was to create a dynasty, but ...... Damn it, I didn't expect it to end like this. Phil is old, Paul is old, Derek is old, I, I'm old too. Kobe Bryant stared at Yiyang, and his expression became a lot more serious. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it through this! ”

"Of course, there is no point in saying that now. If we want to stay competitive, we'll have to get a younger squad or find a few more right-hand men. Look at LeBron, everything he did was enough to change the game of basketball. ”

Yiyang didn't know why Kobe Bryant said this to himself, he just listened quietly and didn't interject.

"Do you want to win the championship?"

"Huh?" Yiyang was stunned for a moment and raised his head. found that Kobe Bryant was staring at himself very seriously, not joking.

"Yes, of course!" Victory, will it still be disliked?

"Then I want you to be ready, neither the Thunder nor the Grizzlies will be as weak as we are. When it comes to the finals, if you meet LeBron. Oh, that's bad luck. It's a lot harder than you think to win the championship! You must have the courage to face any difficulties and not be afraid of any strong opponent. I sincerely hope that you will win the championship, too. But if it doesn't work with the Mavericks......" At this point, Bryant paused. "Then we're ready to welcome you to Los Angeles! Play with me, with the Lakers! ”

After going around for a long time, it turned out that Kobe Bryant wanted to take Yiyang under his command!

"I'm serious, you know, the rules of the basketball world are changing right now. But if we can join forces, then the Heat triumvirate has nothing to fear. Hahaha, of course, don't worry too much about it, play this season well. I'm sure you can! Bryant smiled, sweeping away the seriousness. I'm really anxious to lose, and my season isn't over yet, so I'm talking about the transfer here.

However, the Lakers do need to make some changes. Chris. Paul, Steve. Nash or Yiyang, no matter what, the Lakers are in dire need of new signings this summer.

Yiyang didn't just listen to it, but he seriously thought about the feasibility of this matter in his heart. After all, the Los Angeles Lakers are his favorite team. Being able to wear the Lakers' purple and gold jersey to compete in the NBA is something that Yiyang used to dream about every day.

But soon, Yiyang shook his head and invited the idea out of his mind. Dallas and Mavericks are their current home. Terry who loves to joke, Kidd, who is always coaching himself, Nowitzki, who is always able to stand up, Carlisle who is wise, Peja who is kind, and the female press officer who takes care of the team like a homeroom teacher......

"I still like Dallas."

"Huh?" Kobe Bryant thought that this topic was over, but Yiyang suddenly came to such a sentence.

"I still love Dallas, after all, it's my teammates, there's my growth, there's my sweat."

"Really?" Kobe Bryant smiled, young man, just young man. Is it possible that what you are talking about will remain the same for many years? It's possible for a team to become unrecognizable to you. It's like Kobe Bryant liked to be with O'Neal back then, but how many years did this relationship last? Young people always like to think too much of the NBA. People now say that Kobe Bryant is loyal, but when the Lakers fell into a trough a few years ago, Kobe Bryant also had the idea of leaving.

The NBA is a vanity fair, and maybe you're going to love your team right now. But this kind of love doesn't necessarily last your entire career.

However, Kobe Bryant didn't say this to Yiyang. At a certain time, this kid will naturally understand.

"Then the next time we meet, I won't be hurt again. The Lakers may also get stronger! Bryant said, revealing the fangs of the Viper.

"You don't know what you said, Bryant!"

"Good luck, then." Bryant stretched out his fist.

"By your promise, I'll win the O'Brien Cup for you."

The other yellow-skinned hand clenched into a fist and lightly touched Kobe.

It's clear that they are enemies, but they are eager to see each other succeed. Obviously they are opponents, but they don't want to see each other lose to others. Men's friendships, sometimes, are just that weird.
