Chapter 117: Morning in Los Angeles
Chapter 217: Morning in Los Angeles
Kobe's call is undoubtedly like a heart booster that injected more confidence into Li Shihao.
Although the call was short, Kobe Bryant shared a lot of experience in the playoffs for Li Shihao.
Until this season, Kobe Bryant has won four championship rings, the Lakers dynasty at the beginning of the century, and last year's championship, in the playoffs, especially in the experience of winning the championship, Kobe Bryant undoubtedly has a lot of experience, especially he is still a player on the guard line, although he plays the scoring guard position, but Kobe Bryant is now in the Los Angeles Lakers' tactics, controlling more of the ball, in fact, more between the point guard and the scoring guard, serving as a two-way guard.
This is very similar to Li Shihao's tactical position in the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves' outside lacks enough offensive firepower, Li Shihao not only has to play a role in connecting the team, but also takes a lot of responsibility on the outside offense.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers, who are the first in the West, cannot meet the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are seventh in the West, and for Kobe, he is naturally willing to teach Li Shihao some playoff experience, such as blowing penalty scales, how to fight for fouls more, and reasonably using his own ability to win.
These are all grateful, the old people in the American basketball industry generally have an indifferent attitude towards newcomers, and it is good if there is no hostility.
It's rare to see Kobe Bryant giving newcomers such an excellent attitude.
Li Shihao naturally did not give up this opportunity, had a good conversation with Kobe, learned from his experience, and prepared for a difficult playoff journey.
Before Kobe Bryant ended the call, he also said: "Bruce, this is your first playoff game, don't worry too much." Just do your best, you're still young after all! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kobe Bryant dropped the phone, leaving only silence in the room.
Li Shihao was a little speechless in his heart, he was a little confident by Kobe's words just now, and the sentence at the end came out. The real damage made Li Shihao's newly accumulated confidence collapse a lot.
After that, many phone calls came one after another, many of them congratulated Li Shihao on leading the team to the playoffs, Curry, Garnett, Steve Nash, Little Fat DeLong and many other friends in the circle came to congratulate him, and even Kevin Durant of the Russian City Thunder, who missed the playoff seat this season, also sent a congratulatory message, although the voice on the phone could not hide the disappointment, but still looked like a sunny boy.
This surprised Li Shihao, this eye-catching player who is two years older than him, in terms of strength, is absolutely outstanding in the small forward position in the league this season. has rushed into the All-Star Game, which shows his strength. I've always heard that he has a good temperament, but I didn't expect his temper to be so good, like a big boy next door.
This night, he received many congratulatory calls from many people one after another, so that Li Shihao didn't sleep well all night.
Especially the last call, which shows Los Angeles, has only a short sentence: "Bruce, I'll go to Dallas to see you!" ”
The words are short. Li Shihao could already feel the lingering warmth in the air, and Li Shihao could hear this soft and tactful voice.
It was Emma's call. Since she learned that she and Yun Fei have confirmed their relationship, Li Shihao has never seen her again, although she can still receive greetings from Emma during the holidays, but Li Shihao has always felt a little sorry for this senior sister in high school.
The period of high school has always been an indelible memory in Li Shihao's heart, even if it is a long time. Li Shihao can also remember it clearly.
Li Shihao still remembers the time when he was under the plane tree at Emma's house, the bright-eyed girl flew and hovered like a butterfly behind a tall young man, and these memories are as evocative as old photos.
Li Shihao thought about it. I fell into my thoughts and didn't say anything for a long time.
…………
Li Shihao didn't know that in Los Angeles on the other side of the west, the girl who used to have bright eyes was standing in the bathroom sluggishly at the moment, and her clear eyes were staring persistently at that side of the mirror at the moment.
Emma's teeth grinded slightly, and a spine-chilling voice came out, "Bruce, it's all your fault, oh my God, all evil dark circles!" ”
Emma Roberts's fair face was covered with a faint layer of anger, which made her cheeks flush, but she looked extremely lovely.
Emma Roberts scolded a certain stinky boy with hatred in his heart, and then washed up at a very fast speed, put on a little light makeup, and slightly touched up the indecent dark circles.
Then, Emma quickly ran to the living room, and while sorting out her suitcase at a very fast speed, she said into the phone in her ear, "How are you, dear aunt?" ”
"I'm sorry to disturb your dreams on such a sunny morning, but I want to say that the weather is really great!"
Julia Roberts, on the other end of the microphone, glanced at the time in the room blankly, and said in a rather flat tone: "Emma, can you tell me, early in the morning, do you have any business, you know, your dear aunt just attended a party last night and came home late at night!" ”
Julia Roberts is Emma's aunt, who has always played the role of a mother in Emma's life, and she is very doting on her little niece.
However, Emma's early morning call obviously made Julia Roberts, who didn't get enough sleep, very unhappy, and the beautiful woman in the former "Pretty Woman" had a somewhat unkind tone.
Emma was obviously familiar with her aunt's temper, but she was not frightened by her aunt's momentum, and continued to say to herself: "Honey, I'm going to go to Dallas, I heard that the shopping mall over there is very good, I asked a good friend to go with me!" ”
Julia Roberts immediately perked up when she heard this, and there was no sleepiness in her beautiful eyes, which were also bright and kind, and his tone suddenly became stronger: "Emma, my dear little niece, what did you just say? Can you say it again? ”
"You have to know, tomorrow is an audition opportunity I found for you, I have already made an appointment with the director, and I am ready to talk, you are doing great damage to your acting star career!"
Emma stuck out her tongue when she heard this, and said angrily: "Honey, I understand, but I'm going to Dallas to watch a few football games by the way!" When she said this, Emma's eyes unconsciously skimmed to the side, a little weak.
"What? Watching a football game in Dallas? NBA? Oh, I see, dear, you're going to see that blues, right, then I'm not going to stop you, I'll help you postpone tomorrow's audition! When Julia Roberts heard Emma's final intention, her tone immediately took a 180-degree turn, and it became bright in an instant.
