With the scorching and drowsy summer breeze blowing over the azure Mediterranean, the scenery of Marittima Beach is still picturesque, and Descartes once had a sweet vacation with Ann Jieli here, so in order to mend the rift between them, the mandarin dream is revisited, and Descartes returns with Ann Jieli.

With the turquoise waters still refreshing, the white sand beach full of smiling faces, and in such a warm and romantic Latin atmosphere, Descartes will finally bring out the long-planned proposal.

Gorgeous diamond rings, sweet vows, when Descartes thought that his elaborate arrangement could touch Angeli's heart, but was politely rejected by his beloved girl.

"I don't want to say anything like that at this time, Deska, and we'll see." Angela didn't even say why she refused, but Descartes understood that there were some things that could never be completely repaired once there was a rift, and there was already a thorn in the gap between him and Angeli.

Descartes was a little frustrated when his proposal failed, but he didn't dare let Ann Jieli see it. The sister-in-law finally agreed to give him another chance, and although she didn't succeed in putting the wedding ring on her, at least she was willing to come on vacation with her alone again, which made Descartes thankful.

In the midst of this long vacation, Descartes met someone who surprised him a little.

With a shiny bald head, dark skin, and stubborn eyes that seem to look down on everything, he is more than 20 centimeters taller than Descartes, but he has a kind and surprising smile on his face.

Yes, Kobe. Bryant. An NBA superstar that Descartes loved very much. Some media once said that the two of them have great similarities in their personalities, that is, they are paranoid and stubborn, always full of confidence in themselves, and are not afraid of any challenges.

Bryant's father, Joe, had traveled to Italy to play professional basketball when Bryant was a child. As a result, Bryant has lived in Italy since he was a child. From this point of view. He is also half Italian, and Kobe Bryant also loves football, and he once admitted that his favorite star is Ronaldo. Later, there was more Messi, and the favorite national team was Italy.

In this chaotic and busy summer, Kobe and his Lakers team just finished the NBA playoffs, they defeated the Magic 4:1 in the finals, Kobe Bryant won his first NBA championship after leaving O'Neal, this is the year of Kobe Bryant's own name, so when the playoffs are over, Kobe Bryant is in a good mood to Italy with his whole family, ready to spend a good vacation.

The unexpected encounter with Descartes made Kobe Bryant also full of surprises, and he even rushed to greet Descartes first: "Hi Descartes, hello, I'm your fan, my name is Kobe, Kobe. Bryant. ”

Descartes certainly knew the NBA's most popular and controversial superstar of the last decade, but what surprised him was that Kobe Bryant recognized him at a glance and called himself a fan.

"Ah, hi, Mr. Bryant, hello." Descartes felt a little flattered, to be honest, although he is now a well-known star, his personal habits are relatively simple, except for training games at most is to go to the bar with Diaby and others to find a thrill, compared to his predecessor England number one Ronaldo, Descartes's life is much narrower, so until now, he has not realized what kind of influence and attention he has in the outside world.

The things that have bothered Descartes for a while, the hype and hype in the media, if in the eyes of others, are simply the best way to raise his reputation, but for Descartes, these things only make him tired, and at heart, he is a player who prefers to play quietly, similar to Scholes.

So when Kobe Bryant called out his name, all he had on his face was surprise, and then he even spoke a little incoherently.

However, Kobe Bryant's expression was very friendly, and he said that he was a fan of Descartes, which did not seem to be bragging, because he and Descartes quickly found common ground: "Hey, Descartes, don't be so polite, you just call me Kobe, seriously, I love watching you play, you play great, especially in the FA Cup final, wow, man, that's when I decided to be your fan, you know?" ”

Although Descartes left everything after that game and returned to Italy, it does not mean that he does not attach importance to that game, on the contrary, even Descartes himself will be proud of this game, because not only did he break the nightmare of four years without a championship for Arsenal, but also silenced all the people who looked down on him and laughed at him before, FIFA did not award him the medal of World Footballer of the Year, Descartes actually did not value it, he just wanted others to know that he was always invincible and always the best one.

Kobe Bryant's just right compliment instantly made Descartes happy, the so-called sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Kobe Bryant's appreciation, of course, Descartes also wanted to give back two good words: "Thank you Kobe, in fact, I also like to watch your game, by the way, congratulations, you are the NBA champion this year." ”

"Haha." Descartes' compliment also tickled Kobe's itch, although this is his fourth championship ring, but people used to say that he won the championship by hugging O'Neal's thigh, which is undoubtedly an unbearable thing for the arrogant Kobe, so he never mentioned the past three consecutive championships to anyone, until this year he was finally relieved, as the well-deserved boss of the team. led the Lakers to regain the championship, and the stubborn Kobe always believed that this ring was the championship ring that really belonged to him, so he preferred people to praise this championship once, rather than always mention the previous three consecutive championships.

Having almost the same temper and the same arrogance, the two hit it off after their first meeting, and then they sat down on the beach and started small talk.

"I know something about you." Bryant sighed when he talked about this topic: "Barcelona is really strong, it's not your fault that you lost to them, but those media just like it, they always have to find some scary topics to attract people's attention." Just like me. If the Lakers lose, it's my fault anyway, even if I score 81 points if the team doesn't win. That's also because I'm too alone. That's what they say. They can always find a reason to criticize you, to beat you, so Deska. You don't care about these things, you have to have confidence in yourself, seriously, I really think you're playing well, you've scored more than 40 goals this season, you've got more than 20 assists, oh my God, I think you're more qualified than Messi to be the World Footballer of the Year. ”

Kobe's encouragement made Descartes feel warm, maybe talking about this topic made Kobe feel too deeply, so his words were very sincere, Descartes could easily feel his kindness, so Descartes also joked: "This is not a great achievement, you can score more than 40 points in a game, and at the same time get more than 20 assists, I used a whole season, compared to you." ”

"Haha." Kobe Bryant grinned happily: "Man, you're so humorous. But it doesn't matter, you're still young, and if you switch to basketball now, it's still too late. ”

Descartes also let out a happy laugh, outsiders always say that Kobe Bryant is a difficult person to get along with, but from today's performance, it seems that he is actually a pretty good guy, I don't know if it is because the two are also the top masters in their respective industries, or because he and his temper are indeed very similar, in short, Descartes felt an atmosphere of sympathy in the conversation.

Since Kobe Bryant talked about the Champions League final, Descartes also followed the topic, especially what made him sigh was his powerlessness in this game. Descartes knew a long time ago that football is not done by one person, because at that time he was in Pavia had always been an underdog, so in many games, even if he tried his best, he still could not help the team win, so he was no stranger to this feeling.

However, after arriving at Arsenal, the Gunners are also one of the giants in Europe, and the players in Wenger's picture have strong strength, if not the famous ones, so in these seasons, although the team's record is not too good, Descartes has not felt powerless for a long time.

It wasn't until the game with Barcelona that this long-lost feeling finally returned to him, Descartes didn't believe that he would be worse than Messi, but Arsenal was suppressed by Barcelona and had no power to resist, Kobe Bryant, as an outsider, could only say that Barcelona played well in the abstract, and Descartes, as a party, could more clearly describe the gap between the two sides, the player's individual combat strength, the team's overall tactics, the coach's various adjustments, and even the psychological activities at the time, these details were said by Descartes's mouth, which made Kobe Bryant marvel again and again, it turns out that there is so much knowledge in this.

In the past few seasons, when O'Neal left Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant has not experienced such a scene, let him play like a god, but his teammates can still drag him back without any scruples, for a while, Kobe Bryant was almost reluctant to hand over the ball to any teammate, and the media criticized him for being too lonely, but who can experience that kind of state that no one can trust?

If someone else were facing Descartes' feelings, they might comfort him and then turn the topic away, but Kobe Bryant has his own understanding of this kind of thing.

"If you feel powerless, it's not because your enemy is too strong, it's because you're still too weak, and what you have to do is not sit here and sigh, but immediately go back to the training ground, make yourself stronger, and then defeat your opponent." Kobe Bryant's expression was very serious, as if he suddenly became Descartes' sports consultant, perhaps from the bottom of his heart, this is Kobe's real psychological state, he is such a strong person, if defeated, he never abuses or complains, but immediately turns around and plunges into training, until he becomes stronger, and then defeats the enemy.

"Training?" Bryant's words surprised Descartes, who unconsciously replied, "But it's a holiday." ”

"There are no holidays for losers!" Kobe's expression became serious, and he frowned and said: "If you don't want to be a loser forever, then you should work hard to train yourself when your enemy is slack, until you become stronger than your enemy, instead of making excuses about holidays or rest, you know, until now, I still maintain more than ten hours of training time a day, and you are only twenty years old, and there will be holidays in the future, you should not waste time on vacations." ”

Descartes finally got to know what the media called paranoia, and although the two were new acquaintances, as soon as it came to matters of principle, he immediately put aside their relationship and taught himself as if he were his own little brother.

However, for such Kobe, Descartes is not resistant, because as the media said, the two of them are actually the same kind of people, Kobe Bryant is humble on the surface, arrogant in his heart, Descartes is not bad at all, thinking that an old guy in his thirties can still insist on training for more than an hour a day, Descartes immediately felt that his previous training volume was completely scum.

Once upon a time, he was still proud of the fact that most of his teammates left immediately after training, and he would stay for an hour or two to practice free kicks, because Wenger would praise him for his hard work, but compared to Kobe Bryant, Descartes only knew, hard work? It's not enough.

What Descartes didn't know was that there was once a very interesting episode about Kobe Bryant, a training maniac, when he was in summer training camp, Westbrook, yes, the Thunder's rising star known as "Wei Shao", once asked when he met Kobe: "Can I train with you?" Bryant replied, "Okay, we'll see you at half-past four." As a result, on the second night, Wei Shao angrily found Kobe Bryant and asked, "Where are you?" I've been waiting for you in the training gym all afternoon! Bryant glared into his eyes and replied, "I'm talking about half past four in the morning." Since then, this Wei Shao has never mentioned training with Kobe Bryant again.

This is Kobe Bryant, the unruly Kobe Bryant who will always be the maverick in the mouth of the media, he claims to have seen the night scene of Los Angeles at 4 to 5 o'clock in the morning, and is always the first player to appear in the training gym every day, the last player to leave Staples, some people think that his success comes from talent, some people think that his reputation comes from his controversial actions, but only those who understand him understand that his success really comes from almost pathological hard work and training beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Descartes, compared to him, your efforts are far from enough. (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
