Chapter 388: A Gamble with Kobe

Basketball courts.

More than a dozen fans playing in the stadium all gathered around, most of them were Lakers fans, and there were two reporters taking pictures in front of them, and from the excited expressions on their faces, it could also be known that they had found big news to report.

McGrady and Bryant stood in the middle and faced each other.

McGrady has two teammates behind him, Kobe Bryant has three, plus the fans on the periphery, it is obvious that Kobe Bryant's side has the advantage in numbers.

Wan Sheng followed Yao Ming and walked over.

Seeing Yao Ming coming, a bald white man immediately greeted him, it was Sean Battier, Yao Ming's teammate with whom he had a good relationship.

"What's going on?" Yao Ming asked.

Glancing at the middle, McGrady was still arguing with Kobe, and Sean Battier explained.

The team had dinner together, Sean Battier and McGrady and others wanted to go shopping in Los Angeles, but they didn't expect to meet Kobe Bryant and others, and the two sides met very friendly at first, Kobe Bryant and others also wanted to do their best to be friends and invite a few people to find a place to be happy, but halfway through, the two sides quarreled, and the reason was that McGrady talked about the three-point shot that won in the end.

Kobe Bryant and others lost the game, and they were already a little depressed, and when they heard McGrady boast about his final three-point shot, his anger was provoked.

So a few people came to the basketball hall, planning to try it out.

Originally, it was nothing to try, but after the quarrel, what was said was a bit 'excessive', and Kobe Bryant stood up and planned to go head-to-head with McGrady.

Before the heads-up began, the anger of both sides came out.

Seeing that there are many people on the other side. McGrady hurriedly called Yao Ming and asked him to come over quickly.

Wan Sheng listened a little, and then looked at the scene. It's kind of understood.

McGrady called Yao Ming to be strong, in case of a real fight, Yao Ming's two-meter-two block, ordinary people really can't do it, and they won't suffer too much.

If it goes on like this, the two sides are really likely to fight, and it's no wonder that the two reporters next to them are so excited. Photographing NBA stars fighting in the streets is definitely more exciting news than the game.

It's a pity that both sides are not brainless people, and Kobe Bryant and McGrady have a bit of a hot temper. But he still refrained from doing anything, just shouted that he was going to go head-to-head, and then asked the court staff to move the basketball hoop.

They're going to have a three-point shootout!

"$100,000 a game!"

Kobe Lions opened his mouth wide and didn't frighten McGrady. For the NBA's top stars. $100,000 is really not too much money, McGrady agreed, and the two sides waited for the basketball hoop to come, ready for a three-point competition.

Yao Ming stood up to give McGrady a boost, and Wan Sheng stood aside boredly.

He was not noticed at all on the periphery.

So Wan Sheng stepped forward and picked up a basketball, aimed at the basket from a distance and threw it, the basketball crossed an arc in the air, and then ......... Three do not stick. Hit the ground headlong.

Hearing the sound, many people looked over.

But Wan Sheng is clearly not a basketball star. The shooting action is very amateurish, and they don't care.

threw three balls in a row, only one of them was stained with the basket, and the other two were all three non-sticky, which made several people laugh, but Wan Sheng didn't care, just aimed at the basket and raised his arm to throw it.

"Whoa......

This time it's a hollow.

Finally scored one, and Wan Sheng put the ball down satisfied.

No one else cared about him at all, even if he scored a three-pointer, it was nothing serious, at this time the staff had moved out of the basketball hoop, McGrady and Kobe agreed to compete in three-point shots according to the rules of the three-point competition, and the court staff next to him were regarded as referees.

There's no All-Star Game environment here, so the rules become, five shots at each of the five positions at the three-point line, left, right, and two sidelines, each of which is a point, for a total of 25 balls, and whoever scores more wins.

After the two tried to throw a few balls, the competition officially began.

"I'll come first!"

Los Angeles is the territory of the Lakers, and Kobe Bryant stood up, found a good position to pick up the ball and shot it directly.

One, dip the frame.

Two, dip frame.

Three, hits.

Four, hits.

Five, hits.

In the first touchline position, Bryant made three shots, then switched positions and threw again, scored three, and then switched positions to the middle, he only scored one, and changed positions to score two.

McGrady smiled, and the others also felt that Kobe Bryant was not feeling good.

Switching to the diagonal sideline, Kobe Bryant scored four in a row, and the last one started a little high, and the basketball smashed on the frame and bounced out.

3 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 4 = = 13.

25 goals, 13 goals, in an amateur stadium, this efficiency is still quite good, and the fans and reporters next to him applauded.

"Here you go!"

Bryant finished throwing the ball and stood aside, and when the staff had put the basketball hoop in order, McGrady came on to pitch.

Five goals in the first position, McGrady played quite well, scored four in one breath, the second position was slightly worse, and also scored three, in the middle of the third position, maybe the speed of switching was too fast and a little uncomfortable, he and Kobe Bryant only scored one, and did not score a goal in the fourth position, and the pressure suddenly came.

In the last position, McGrady needs to shoot all the shots to tie Kobe.

The fans and Lakers stars next to them have already started to heckle.

McGrady withstood the pressure and hit three shots in a row in the fifth position, and he wanted to score five in one go, but the fourth was still a little off, and the basketball spun around in the basket and flew out.

Kobe Bryant, win!

McGrady was a little unconvinced, he felt that he felt good today, gritted his teeth and yelled, "Come again!" ”

"Come on, come! Who's afraid of whom! Don't be on your bills! Remember, $100,000! ”

Bryant won the first round, feeling quite refreshed all over, and he asked the staff to tidy up the basket. Prepare to play for the second time.

McGrady blushed and raged.

Yao Ming hurriedly went up to persuade, "Tracy." You can't win him like this, so forget it today. ”

But McGrady was so angry that he didn't listen to persuasion.

Sure enough, after being mentally unstable, McGrady only made 8 of the 25 balls he made, and tried to shoot three-pointers with Kobe. This efficiency is almost a must-lose.

Bryant only threw three rounds off the court, and he didn't even go to the fourth position, and he threw nine goals.

"$200,000. Remember! ”

Kobe Bryant raised his head arrogantly and said to McGrady.

Having lost two consecutive games, McGrady also knew that he should calm down, and now it was not suitable to shoot a three-point shot with Kobe. But he was still not convinced. "It's just that it doesn't feel good, arrogant or something!"

"I won! You've lost! ”

Kobe Bryant's teasing words made McGrady angry and rising, seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Wan Sheng glanced at it, but there were Lakers fans next to him, so it would definitely be a loss to fight, and it was estimated that several people could be injured. As Yao Ming's friend, he doesn't help his relatives. How to be on McGrady's side.

So Wansheng stepped forward.

He stood beside McGrady with a smile on his face and said to Kobe, "My name is Wan Sheng, Yao Ming's friend." ”

As soon as Wan Sheng spoke, Kobe Bryant and several people looked at it, and they knew that this was definitely not a small person, although he was not a basketball star, but he was definitely a celebrity, otherwise it would be impossible for so many cameras to point at him during the game.

"Kobe, your three-point shot is very good, I'm a basketball layman, but I also want to compete with you, or $100,000 a game, how about it?"

Kobe Bryant was stunned for a moment, looked at Wan Sheng, and then looked at Yao Ming.

He couldn't be sure if what the Chinese in front of him said was true, and besides, did he take out 100,000 dollars? This money is nothing for an NBA star, but it is a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

Yao Ming was also stunned, he didn't expect Wan Sheng to stand up, but he wasn't worried about whether he could come up with the money, but compared with Kobe Bryant, he had a three-point shot? Not to mention ordinary people, even among NBA stars, there are few who can compare to Kobe.

Yao Ming stepped forward to persuade him, but when he saw Wansheng insisting, he also said to Kobe, "Money is nothing to him." ”

Now Kobe Bryant was relieved.

Since the other party spoke, he still helped McGrady to speak, and he took it, but he still felt that there was some 'bullying' of ordinary people, he was a basketball star, and the other party was obviously a basketball layman, which was almost a guaranteed win, "Well, if I win, I will only charge you $50,000, and if I lose, I will give you the full amount." ”

Wan Sheng waved his hand instead and said, "No. ”

Seeing Wansheng's insistence, Kobe Bryant didn't say anything, but asked directly about the rules, "Still like just now?" ”

"Nope." Wan Sheng shook his head, he picked up a basketball, stood in the position where he shot just now, glanced at the basket, and said with a smile, "You know I'm a layman, in fact, I'm a football coach and don't know much about basketball." I just made a shot here and I feel like I'm feeling good in this position. Let's shoot here, each of us shoots 20, whoever scores more wins, how about it? ”

"No problem." Kobe Bryant nodded in agreement.

He can't understand why the other party insists on the competition, he is a basketball star in the NBA, three-point shooting is not the best, but the shooting rate is also very high, in comparison, the rules are not important, because the other party is obviously a layman, the ball action, shooting posture is very non-standard, no matter what the rules, he is absolutely sure that he can win.

can take $100,000 for nothing, and can continue to hit the Rockets with a group of people, Kobe Bryant can't think of a reason to refuse.

After a few discussions between the two, they asked the staff to put the basketball hoops together, a total of 20 basketballs on the surface, and found a helper to be responsible for handing the ball, and the competition was about to start.

Wan Sheng didn't look for Yao Ming, but instead found McGrady.

"May I call you Tracy?"

"Absolutely." McGrady still has a lot of respect for Yao Ming's friends, he has been to China with Yao Ming before, and he feels very friendly to Chinese.

Wan Sheng smiled, "Then you can help me hand the ball?" If I win, the game counts as your money, and if I lose, it counts mine. ”

McGrady also doesn't know why.

Although he didn't think that the Chinese in front of him could win Kobe Bryant, but the other party was always good, so he nodded and agreed, and thanked him. (To be continued.) )
