After Hornacek knew the attitude of the Knicks' top management that night, he called Zhang Feng and said it very tactfully, but Zhang Feng understood that the Knicks would not choose him. Fortunately, Zhang Feng's team did not hold their hopes on the Knicks, and the next thing was to go all out for the king's trial.

Flights and hotels had already been booked, and the trio set off quickly, and it was a long journey from New York in the western United States to California in the eastern United States. After a few hours of flying and landing at Los Angeles International Airport, Zhang chose not to go directly to the city of Saramento, but chose to stay in Los Angeles for a few days first, as a BIG3 tournament will be held at the Staples Center recently.

The BIG3 league does not have a fixed home and away game, and this time the game happened to be held at the Staples Center, and the reason why I chose to watch this game is that the members of the BIG3 game are very attractive to the audience, in addition to the previous plan to enter the NBA league through the recommendation of retired stars.

In this match in Staples, the BIG3 league was played by the three-second killer team composed of Allen Iverson, Paul Pierce, and Mike Bibby, and the three-headed monster team composed of Jermaine O'Neal, Rashad Lewis, and Kenyon Martin.

These people are all former All-Stars, and naturally attract a large number of spectators. The tickets for the game were sold out within 2 minutes of being launched, and the tickets of Zhang Feng and the three of them were only obtained by relying on the relationship.

The afternoon of the trio was the day the BIG3 tournament was held, and after settling in at the hotel, they set off for the Staples Center to watch the game.

As soon as I arrived at the Staples Center, I saw a large number of people queuing up to enter, some vendors selling popcorn, coke, beer, and some scalpers haggling with those who didn't get tickets. As the home of the Lakers and Clippers, as well as some major shows, the security measures are very tight, and although there are a large number of people walking back and forth, there are no anomalies in the entire Staples Center.

Soon Zhang Feng and others also entered the field, and the tickets that Wang Wanlu got were on the sidelines, very close to the players' rest area. This kind of ticket is a relatively expensive ticket, so only Zhang Feng sat alone, and Wang Wanlu and Huo Ke were far away.

As soon as they sat down, Iverson and others came out and began to warm up, everyone cheered, Iverson and others also waved, and the audience slowly stopped after a long cheer.

Zhang Feng is ready to observe the details of the play of these retired superstars and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses to improve his basketball skills. Iverson's famous stunt is a breakthrough, Mike Bibby and "White Chocolate" Williams are equally famous for one-handed passing and ball control skills, Paul Pierce is the most powerful how to break a thousand pounds, Rashad Lewis is the best at three-pointers, and Kenyon Martin and O'Neal Jr. can also learn from them to grab rebounds.

Just as Zhang Feng watched with relish and carefully analyzed the basketball skills of these retired stars, the audience burst into cheers again, and this time the cheers were even more enthusiastic than the last time. Zhang Feng looked curiously at the audience's gaze, this is unbelievable, the former Stamps owner - Bryant Kobe Bryant came, as a Lakers celebrity, Iverson and other old rivals and old friends held games here, Kobe Bryant also came to help. The cheers of the audience seemed to show that Kobe Bryant was the protagonist here, and Kobe Bryant interacted enthusiastically with the audience and shook hands with some spectators on the sidelines.

Zhang Feng was also a little excited to see this legendary superstar Kobe, but he didn't continue to watch it after just taking a look, but carefully watched the training of Iverson and others on the court.

Unexpectedly, Kobe Bryant walked over to Zhang Feng and sat on the chair next to Zhang Feng, Kobe Bryant, who had just sat down, looked around and found that Zhang Feng didn't care about himself at all, so he suddenly became interested and pretended to be serious and said:

"Watching the NBA for the first time? , this friend"

Unexpectedly, Kobe Bryant took the initiative to talk to him, Zhang Feng said with a smile: "I watch it often, and I will play a little." Zhang Feng's words made Kobe Bryant interested, and asked with a smile: "Oh? So who do you think is the most powerful person here? ”。

This question is not easy to answer, each player has different positions and different emphases, Zhang Feng had to say: "In my understanding, in terms of defenders, Iverson is the best",

"Huh?" Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Kobe frowned, and said with a cold face: "Do you think Iverson is better than me?" You don't know me, do you? Yes, you probably don't know me."

Kobe's words made Zhang Feng react immediately, and said with a smile: "I mean the person who is about to play on the court, you are not counted, you are a legendary superstar, the former owner of Stampes, of course I know you."

"That's right, but you still haven't answered my question, who is better than me or Iverson?" Bryant asked.

Zhang Feng was in the dark, but he didn't expect Kobe to be so persistent, so he had to say: "This is not easy to compare, but now it must be Iverson who is a little better, after all, you haven't trained for a long time." ”。

"What are you talking about, believe it or not, I'll blow him up right away" Kobe Bryant argued seriously.

"Don't believe me, I don't think you can beat me yet" Zhang Feng thought of a plan to attract Kobe's interest, and said deliberately.

"WTF, who are you, I can't blow you up yet?" Kobe Bryant got angry, and then he seemed to realize something, and said: "It's useless for you to say that, I can't prove anything if I blow you up, in case you score a goal, you can blow it for the rest of your life", Kobe felt that he would not fall for Zhang Feng's plan if he was witty.

If you can't make a plan, Zhang Feng has another plan, and the thief laughed and said: "You can prove something, if you up, you can prove that you are better than this rookie." ”。

"Bragging, you mean you can represent the basketball level of this rookie" Kobe Bryant said disdainfully, looked at Zhang Feng again and said: "It can be seen that you are a little stronger than ordinary people, but you are such a useless young man who brags about himself." ”。

Zhang Feng knew that Kobe had been brought in by himself, so he took out his mobile phone, clicked on the video of 1V1 blowing up Nick Young, and handed it to Kobe: "Look, I beat Nick Young 1V1, what do you think?" ”。

Seeing Zhang Feng take out the video, Kobe Bryant looked at it carefully, and was slightly surprised in his heart, because he saw that Nick Young in the video was playing with all his might, frowned and said: "It seems that you really have some basketball skills, that university?" Did you participate in the draft? ”。

Zhang Feng smiled and said: "I'm from China, Kobe Bryant, I just participated in the Knicks' rookie tryout a few days ago, if you can beat me, I can make your body at least five years younger, how about trying?" ”。

Kobe raised his eyebrows, and actually said that he could make his body five years younger, although he didn't believe it, but his competitive heart made Kobe want to beat Zhang Feng immediately.

Kobe Bryant looked at Zhang Feng again and said seriously: "Then let's have a game, 12 balls, let you, a young man, see the power of the old star." ”
