Kobe's words surprised everyone, because Kobe Bryant was notoriously lonely when he was still playing in the league, neither attending his teammates' parties nor inviting his teammates to parties. When O'Neal got married, Kobe Bryant did not attend, and Kobe Bryant did not invite many teammates to participate, Kobe Bryant once declared that the old fish Fisher was his best friend in many different venues, but Fisher revealed that he had never been to Kobe's house. So as soon as Kobe Bryant said this, everyone was surprised, but they couldn't act as if Kobe had never invited anyone to be a guest, they all laughed, and agreed to go with curiosity and fun.

"No problem, partying, my favorite, beer and beauty," Iverson said he knew how to drive without pressure.

Kobe Bryant shook his finger and said solemnly: "No, no, no, this is a gathering of friends, don't do those, there is food and beer, but there are no beautiful women." ”。

As soon as they heard that there were no beauties, everyone was excited, and if there were no beauties, they were still playing with a fart, and they all wanted to make excuses for not going temporarily. Seeing everyone's reaction, Kobe Bryant smiled confidently and said, "I swear, there will be something that excites you more than beautiful women." ”

made it so mysterious, everyone was interested again, let's go, it's really curious, I've never heard of anyone going to Kobe's house as a guest, even if I'm curious, I want to take a look.

Regarding how to get to Kobe's house, everyone made it difficult, originally Kobe Bryant wanted to be picked up by helicopter, but the size of their players, plus Zhang Feng and others, took 3 trips to get it, which was very troublesome. After much discussion, everyone decided to rent an extended luxury Lincoln car to Kobe's mansion, and considering the comfort, Kobe directly called a 12-meter extended Lincoln. There is a lot of space for everyone to get into the Lincoln car, and the activity is very convenient.

Staples is in downtown Los Angeles, Kobe's mansion is located in the south of Los Angeles, only a 40-minute drive, Zhang Feng officially introduced himself to Iverson and others, Iverson and others joked that Zhang Feng played much better than Kobe, but later learned that the Knicks did not choose Zhang Feng and expressed their puzzlement.

Just as Zhang Feng and others were on their way to Kobe's mansion, the REDDIT basketball section, a well-known forum in the United States, exploded, and someone posted that Kobe Bryant invited everyone in the BIG3 league to his home as guests, which was simply going to do something. There are only two mainstream contents in the replies below this post, one is that Kobe Bryant actually invites people to his home as guests, and the other is that a group of big men are called special services? , the second voice, of course, is impossible, but everyone likes it evilly. Some people even said that they wanted to go to Kobe's mansion to take pictures secretly, and the netizens who followed the post pretended to agree with them to encourage them to take pictures secretly.

The 40-minute drive is very fast, when they arrived at Kobe Bryant's mansion, everyone was discussing what to eat, some proposed BBQ, some proposed to order takeout, Kobe Bryant looked at Zhang Feng at this time and said: "We have a Chinese here, let the Chinese young man decide what to eat, just came to the United States There must be a lot of curious food, what you want to eat listen to you." ”。

Zhang Feng also learned some unspoken rules of American family gatherings from Wang Wanlu, Kobe Bryant held this party on an impromptu basis, Kobe's family definitely didn't have time to prepare a lot of food, the atmosphere of ordering takeout was not good, or BBQ was the most appropriate, and slightly richer families in the United States had BBQ tools.

"Just BBQ, I haven't seen an authentic American BBQ" Zhang Feng didn't drag the mud and water, and directly gave everyone a reply.

"yes, BBQ, I love it, it's time for you guys to show you my BBQ skills," Pierce said excitedly.

Bryant's mansion was purchased in '02 for $4 million and is about 2023 square meters, typical of Mediterranean architecture, and later underwent a renovation and is now worth more than $13.5 million.

The BBQ was held on the lawn of Kobe's mansion, and everyone went to bring out a set of BBQ grills, took a lot of beef, mutton, pork from the freezer, and ordered some fresh fish temporarily. The reason why BBQ is more popular is that smoke and flames rise, the smell of meat follows, there are many people in the large space, and the atmosphere is very good. After Zhang Feng was slightly familiar with the BBQ roasting method, he also missed a hand, and relied on his accurate mastery of the heat to bake a BBQ master-level beef roll.

"I can't see it, in addition to your basketball level, your BBQ barbecue level is also so high, it's not like it's the first time to eat BBQ, is it a lie to say that you have only practiced basketball for less than a month?" Kobe Bryant was very unwilling to admit that he lost to Zhang Feng a ball, although he didn't finish playing in the end, he just didn't believe that Zhang Feng had only practiced basketball for less than a month.

Zhang Feng also knew how to prove it for a while, but at this time, Iverson came over, took a large piece of pork ribs and said proudly: "Have you watched "House of Cards"? This grilled pork chop of mine is exactly the same as that one. ”。

Kobe Bryant looked at Iverson with a look of disgust, Zhang Feng took the opportunity to change the topic, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Are there any games to play?" It's just that the barbecue and beer aren't very fun. ”。

"Yes, yes, Kobe, didn't you say that there is something that makes us happier than beautiful women?" Iverson put down the pork chops and looked at Bryant expectantly.

Kobe Bryant waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, let's play Truth or Dare first, hey, friends are here, play the game." Pierce and the others, who were drinking wine and eating meat and wanted to have a good time, leaned together, and Pierce asked curiously, "Why is it Truth or Dare?" ”。

Kobe Bryant smiled: "Chatting with everyone, it's not like being interviewed by reporters, it's too formal and embarrassing, truth or dare is a good choice, do you think it's strange that I never invite friends to my home?" ”

This question is exactly what everyone wanted to ask, but they didn't expect Kobe to take the initiative to chat, so everyone watched Kobe wait for what he was after. Kobe Bryant took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I used to be young and couldn't drink when I first entered the league, and I had to prove myself urgently, so I rarely participated in friends gatherings, and then I didn't want my family to be disturbed when I got out of that gear, and then I didn't want my family to be disturbed all year round, and then I didn't play ball or run around in the field all year round, and I rarely accompanied my family to my family, based on the above reasons, I rarely attended friends gatherings, and rarely invited friends to come to my home as guests, but now it's okay, retired, we are all retired people, and I will naturally be happy with everyone when I have more time, and come to have a drink." After Kobe Bryant finished speaking, everyone also understood, and raised a glass to celebrate his retirement life.

After drinking, Bryant continued: "Let's start playing the game officially, I will ask a person a question first, and I must answer truthfully, and if I don't want to answer, I have to drink three glasses of wine."

Although it is said that it is a casual question and must be answered, everyone knows in their hearts that it is very clear what can be asked and what cannot be asked.

Kobe Bryant first asked: "Feng, do you think Iverson's current basketball level is better than mine, is it serious?" ”。

I didn't expect Kobe Bryant to ask like this, if the answer is not good, it will make the two of them unhappy, although everyone will not turn their faces, but it is never a good thing to be unhappy, Zhang Feng thought hard about how to answer.
