After the Lakers' two consecutive wins, there were two days off, because it was back-to-back, there were two days off, so the 'Zen Master' gave all the whole team a day off, and the whole team practiced on Saturday.

Feng Feng drove to the downtown area of Los Angeles early, ready to buy some gifts, because he accepted Kobe's dinner invitation yesterday, so he had to prepare gifts for Kobe and Kobe's daughter Natalia, after all, it was the first time to go and still need to give gifts.

I bought a Barbie doll for Kobe's daughter, and girls should like this more.

Feng Feng drove to Kobe's residence in the afternoon.

The location of Bryant's home is easy to find, in Orichie County, Los Angeles.

It's not too surprising from the outside, and after not giving too much entry, I feel that my residence needs to be replaced, and it's still very good to change a house like this, at least with the court, I don't have to rent a basketball hall in the offseason, and I can train directly, saving a lot of time.

"Hi Boss, it's a pleasure to be a guest at your house."

"You're welcome to my house."

"Hello, welcome, come to my house as a guest." The hostess whispered.

"Hello Uncle Madman, can I call you that?" The little girl, who was more than two years old and less than three years old, raised her head and said beside Vanessa. This is Kobe's first daughter, who is deeply favored by Kobe, although she is only three years old, it can be concluded that her genetics are very good, she is taller than ordinary children of the same age, and she is very polite.

"Of course you can, you can call it whatever you want, it's good if you're happy."

"Boss, this is a gift for you, I only know that you don't know anything about other hobbies except for basketball and sister-in-law accidents, but you already have all your favorites, so I can only buy two bottles of red wine, I hope you can like it." The salesperson said that this is her idol Kobe's favorite red wine. ”

"I love this gift, thank you." Kobe Bryant said in a deep voice

"Natalia, this is a gift for you, I hope you can enjoy it."

"Thank you so much, I love it." Saying that, he happily left with the gift.

Kobe Bryant took Vanessa and the child Natalia to the living room, and Feng Feng saw Odom, who had already arrived.

"Hi Odom, you're so early."

"That's for sure, Kobe's invitation is a good opportunity, it must come early."

"Oh, I'm sorry if I'm a little late." Feng Feng said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's a quarter of an hour earlier than we agreed, you guys do it first, I'll go get something." After Bryant finished speaking, he turned and left for a while.

"Odom, why is it just the two of us, haven't the other team members come over?"

"No, Kobe Bryant only invited the two of us, and generally no players who have been approved by Kobe, but it is difficult to get Kobe's invitation, and he basically did not invite his teammates to his house last year."

"Oh, okay, so do I get Kobe's approval?" Feng Feng asked as he put the cup down.

"Yes, it's the first time I've heard that Kobe Bryant will invite a rookie to his house."

Kobe Bryant walked over and said, "What are you guys talking about?" ”

"We're talking, your house is really beautiful, I also want to have a villa like this, so that when I train in the offseason, I don't have to rent a stadium, it's a waste of money, it cost me $20,000 this summer, it's so distressing." Feng Feng said with a shocked face.

"Yes, but you know that this villa costs millions of dollars, which is a lot cheaper than your rental fee." Kobe said jokingly.

"I see, but I still hope to have a villa like this, but it should be soon, the recent income is okay, I think at this time in the lunar year, I should be able to have such a villa, but I may not buy it, because I still have a big gap in funds." Feng Feng told his recent situation.

"Your salary is only $1 million for two years, even if you have more endorsements than others, maybe not so much, right? What are you doing with it, and there is such a big funding gap? Bryant asked puzzled.

"Yes, rookie, what are you doing with it?" Odom also had some doubts, thinking to himself, "Where can a rookie use so much money, and unlike black players, there will be such a difficult brother." ”

"I'm investing, there are a few companies, my agent is helping me contact, but it's not a big problem, if the funds are not enough, I will borrow some from Yao Yin at that time. Let's not talk about that, can you show me around your villa? Boss"

"Uncle Madman, Natalia can show you around my home, come with me." As he spoke, he wanted to run forward.

Kobe Bryant picked up Natalia and said, "Come on, let's take Feng on a tour of our home." ”

After visiting Kobe's villa, Vanessa went upstairs, "Kobe, the servants have prepared dinner for today." Come down and dine together. ”

"Okay, let's go down."

Dinner lasted more than an hour, and the conversation was very pleasant, and the dinner ended in laughter.

After dinner, Bryant called Odom and Feng Feng to the living room.

"Odom, Von, after my failures in the previous seasons, I started to doubt my ability, but not because I was skeptical about my basketball ability, but because I really didn't fit to be called the boss of the team?"

Feng Feng was a little shocked, how could this come out of Kobe's mouth, Kobe Bryant is a person who claims to only have basketball in his eyes, no friends, no other hobbies, and a person who has been loyal to basketball all his life.

Feng Feng glanced at Odom, who didn't speak, but continued to taste the red wine.

Feng Feng cleared his throat and said, "Boss, if you can win, you may be able to make one person, but it is impossible for only one person to win all the time, because basketball is a sport that requires 5 people to play. ”

"Yes, so I hate those who are talented, but don't work hard, just like O'Neill before, so in the end the two of us broke out an irreparable conflict." Bryant said, staring ahead.

"Boss, it's impossible for everyone to work as hard as you, everyone's life has their own ideas, and the life they want is different, so you can't ask everyone to be like you."

"yes, so I'm also confused now, and I'm starting to doubt my ability to lead the team, whether I can win the championship again, you know? That's what I've always been for. ”

"Championship is what every athlete wants, and it's my dream, boss, you don't have to doubt that the championship flag will fly above the Staples Center in the future." Feng Feng smiled, I also desire the championship, and if I win the championship, my contract will be different.

"yes, let's get more championships together."

"Yes, we raise our glasses and toast to the championship." Feng Feng raised his wine glass.

"But what the hell can I do to get more victories?"

"Boss, we have to bring the whole team together, cheer up our teammates, and work together."

Vanessa walked over with Natalia in her arms, "Why are you still talking about this, Feng, Scarlett recently asked me, where do you live now?" "A woman's gossip heart is not easy to reduce, in order not to let Kobe Bryant's life only have basketball, Vanessa also began to gossip.

"Vanessa, well, she and I are just ordinary friends, we have only met a few times, and I shouldn't have asked you again recently."

"Yes, I haven't asked any more recently, is there something happening to you? Is there a conflict? Vanessa turned her head to look at Kobe Bryant and said, "You also have to care about these, after all, it will affect Feng's competitive state." ”

"Yes, Feng, what happened to you?"

Feng Feng could only explain stubbornly, "We are just ordinary friends, because she likes a lyric I wrote very much, so she has always wanted to buy its copyright, so she will keep asking about me, but some time ago I have entrusted Bill to deal with this matter, so she should not ask you about me anymore." ”

"That's a pity, she's very famous, you should fight for it yourself." Odom said with regret.

"Yes, do you need me to help you? I can call her out the next time we have dinner, and I think she'll gladly accept Kobe's offer, right, dear. Vanessa also said in cackle.

"No, no, no, she's not my type, I don't need it, but tonight's dinner is really delicious, and when I buy a villa, I can invite you to my place, and I'll make you dinner myself." Feng Feng also fought hard in order to open the topic.

"Really? You can also cook, unlike Kobe, who has nothing but basketball. Vanessa looked a little regretful, but looking at Kobe's eyes was still so soft and full of love.

"Let no one live, is it a sin to be a single dog?" When Feng Feng saw this scene, he shouted in his heart.

"Yes, my parents run restaurants in the Celestial Empire, so I will have some, and if I have the chance, I will invite everyone to have dinner with me." Feng Feng sent out a distant invitation, because it was estimated that it would be relatively late to buy a house by himself.

After chatting for a long time, it was relatively late, and Odom and Feng Feng both thanked the Kobe family and left.

After Feng Feng and Odom left.

Vanessa chatted with Kobe, "My dear, Feng seems to admire you very much, but there are also the kind of people like you who don't admit defeat and don't want to be subservient." ”

Kobe Bryant nodded and said, "Yes, he is very good, I think he will be much higher than my future achievements, if I want to continue to win championships, he may be an important teammate, maybe in a few years, he will be even better than me at that time." ”

"Yes, he's still young, but he doesn't give up easily, and most importantly, he feels a kind of confidence that is hard to express when dealing with people. Take the worship of you, for example, he will worship you very much, but he will not blindly obey you, and has his own ideas. ”

"Yes, except for the fact that he is not as good as me in terms of ball skills, he feels very good in other conveniences." Kobe nodded vigorously.

"My dear, if the future asks you to assist him and create a new dynasty, will you be able to accept it? I mean he's the number one player in the city's management team, and you're going to be below him in terms of scoring ability in addition to mental leadership on the court, what do you do? Vanessa asked curiously, although she knows her husband very well, but in basketball, when it comes to championships, she still has some husbands who can't understand her.

"I don't know." Kobe Bryant gave an ambiguous answer, because he really didn't know that he didn't allow himself to be compared by others, and he wouldn't easily admit defeat.

If he can easily choose to be subservient, then he who has just entered the league will not be so high-profile and hard-to-head with Jordan.

But for the basketball he loves, for the Zijin Lakers he loves the most, he may have a different choice, and he may not choose to be subordinate to others now, but what will happen to him in the future, who knows that.

"Don't think about it so much, what will happen in the future, let's think about it later, the most important thing now is to lead the team to win the championship, and to lead the team to the championship in the full sense."

Bryant chose not to think about the future, but to choose the present.

.......

After Feng Feng drove away, he was still thinking about tonight's conversation.

I didn't expect that today's Kobe Bryant would suddenly ask that question, and he would doubt himself.

It's incredible, the Kobe Bryant he knows in later generations is ruthless, but he can't be said to be alone, but the kind of Kobe who is very arrogant, and he will never allow himself to doubt himself.

Maybe Kobe Bryant in his previous life also had self-doubts, but the two consecutive championships made him recognize himself even more.

Without thinking about it, Feng Feng cleaned up and entered the system space to continue training.

Although today was a holiday, Feng Feng did not relax himself, and still chose to continue to train in the system space.

Today in Kobe's villa, it's not just talking, I still want to buy a villa, so that I will have more space, and more can be arranged according to my own ideas.

You can have an indoor basketball hall for your own training.

I can still live with my parents, and I enjoy my care from my family all the time, maybe the more I grow up, the more lonely I become, maybe I didn't have it before, and now I have it, and I'm more afraid of losing these, and I want to hold these tighter and don't want to let it escape from my fingertips.

You can also live that kind of life, honoring the elderly and accompanying your children.

"God, I'm so young, I'm still a child, I have to think about the future child, why are I so tired? Do you want to raise a daughter-in-law yourself? ”
