Chapter 35: Before the Regular Season Begins
ps: Yesterday we stopped the Internet here, and the Internet café couldn't afford it, so I didn't change it, I'm sorry, I'll make it up today. On October 29, Luke returned to Philadelphia, but he was startled by the news.
"Philadelphia Rising Star Talks with Kobe Bryant for Dinner, Suspected of Transferring to Los Angeles"
It's a headline in the Los Angeles Times, and the cover is Luke coming out of the dining room after dinner with Bryant yesterday.
"Damn it!" As Luke spoke, his phone rang. "Hello?"
There was a pause, "Luke, you're a 76ers player." “
"It's Kobe!" Luke knew he couldn't hide, "It's me who is a 76ers player. What's wrong? ”
"Uh...... I also want to call you to the Lakers. Alas...... But I'm not going to show mercy when I play! ”
"Me too, you know our boss......"
"I know what Allen said," Bryant said, "and he just coveted my championship ring." Philadelphia is my hometown, you have to fight hard, you know? ”
"Of course," said Luke, "I still want a big contract!" ”
"Okay, Phil called me over. Next time I come to Los Angeles, I will introduce Vanessa to you. ”
"Actually, I've known each other for a long time." Luke said something in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so as not to cause conflicts between other couples, "Okay, no problem. Good bye. ”
"Goodbye." Bryant hung up.
"Whew-" Luke let out a long sigh of relief, but immediately another call came.
"Hey, is that Luke? I'm Larry. Please come to the team right now! With that, he hung up the phone.
"Uh...... The coach was angry. Luke thought, "Let's go to the team quickly." Then he immediately flagged down a taxi and rushed to the stadium.
When he first entered the arena, Luke noticed that Aaron was still there.
"Huh? Why do you wake up so early? Luke said in amazement.
"It's not because of you, the coach came directly to my house and pulled me up." Aaron complained. "Gone, gone, in. Otherwise, Larry would have been really angry. ”
"Bang-" Larry tossed the newspaper in front of Luke and asked, "Can you explain what this is?" ”
Luke and Allen saw the newspaper with Luke and Bryant on it at the same time.
"Wow, you're having dinner with Kobe? It makes me so sad. Aaron was heartbroken.
"Uh......" Luke was speechless when he saw Aaron's expression, "It's just a simple meal." ”
"Didn't you say anything when you ate?" Larry asked.
"A lot of talking, such as Kobe's girlfriend, his parents' relationship ......," Luke listed one by one.
"Of course I'm not talking about that," Larry said, "I'm talking about transfers. ”
"How could it be, he thought he was just a college student! But he said that when I graduate and go to the Lakers, he will cover me. ”
"How is that possible?" Aaron asked, after all, apart from Luke, a man from the afterlife, Aaron was most familiar with Kobe, "The kind of person he would invite you to dinner?" ”
"Uh...... I believe that if he wins, he can ask him to please. Luke said.
"Uh......" This time it was Aaron's turn to be speechless, "You won him?" ”
"That's ......," Luke recounted to Allen and Larry how he went head-to-head with Kobe and later taught him drift shooting.
"What?" Aaron was excited, "There is such a trick, I have to learn it too!" ”
"No way!" Luke refused without thinking.
"Why? I can treat you to dinner too! Aaron thought it was the reason.
"Of course, it's not a question of eating or not. Mostly ......" Luke stood up and touched Aaron's head. Say, "The main thing is that you're too short, and you'll be covered whether you drift or not!" ”
"Hahahaha......" Larry laughed too.
"Damn." Aaron scolded with a smile, "You know how to tease my height!" ”
"Alright, alright." Larry said, "Then it'll be fine. Let's go back and rest, I'm going to New York tomorrow. Their first opponent in the regular season was them. Get a good rest. Don't keep running away! “
"Yes, Coach!" Luke replied in a sonorous voice.
"And you, Aaron?" Larry said with a "smile".
"Yes, Larry...... No, coach! Aaron said the same as Luke.
"Very well," Larry said when he saw that they were doing well, "go home!" ”
"Yes, Coach!" Luke and Aaron turned and ran.
"These two boys!" Larry smiled.
Out of the arena, Allen said to Luke, "Good boy, don't talk to us when you go to Los Angeles......"
"Don't you know when I'm home?" Luke said seriously.
"Go home," Aaron visibly disagreed, "does your family live in the Staples Center?" ”
"How is that possible," said Luke, "my family lives in ...... Next to Staples. ”
"Hehehe," Aaron certainly didn't care about this, "didn't you meet some pretty girls when you went back to Los Angeles this time?" ”
This instantly reminded Luke of the woman who vomited on him, who was indeed very beautiful, but he still shook his head and said, "I met some beautiful girls, but they don't talk to me." ”
"Hehehe, this is your inexperience." Aaron imparts experience to Luke like a master, "To be a man, to be thick-skinned. I can't pull down my face and soak my girl......"
"Alright, alright, I got it." Luke's ears were calloused when he heard this, in his previous life, in that era of advanced Internet technology, in the face of Chinese girls, these contents were long outdated (speaking of which, I don't want to say anything. I still haven't had one, alas, I saw a person next to me - my classmate - one, two, three play, now I forgot other people's names, dragging two girls in my hands, and soaked a sister who is 9 years older than him, I don't know how to express it in words, God, earth, give me a girl to bubble! )。
Seeing Luke's inattentive face, Aaron said again: "Don't worry, it's no big deal if you don't have a girl, I'll introduce you to a good one in the future, don't worry." Aaron patted Luke on the shoulder.
"Okay, I got it." Luke said listlessly, "I'll go back and catch up on my sleep first, and I'll talk about it in the afternoon." Bye. Luke turned and walked away.
"Well, how can I play alone?" When Aaron saw Luke gone, one thought, "By the way, why don't you just find someone to come out." ”
"Hey, hey, is it Jack (the name of an Aaron's friend, I made it up, don't pay too much attention to it)? Come out and play...... It's only morning, and what does it matter if it's morning...... I'm right there...... Well...... At the entrance of the arena, you are coming. ”
"Stephen ......" Aaron starts calling them one by one to get them out to play, completely forgetting about Larry's explanation.
