Chapter 992 Easter Egg: Kobe > Hope Restaurant
"So, that draft was really a hodgepodge of all sorts of surprises?"

After 24 years, when Chen Mo heard Wei Xia tell the story of the year, it seemed a little different from what he imagined.

"Yes, I have tried out many teams, and there are indeed a few teams that have given me draft promises. Since they all want me, there will naturally be a competition," Wei Xia did not make people feel his complacency when he said this.

Wei Xia said as if he was a seasoned management person, but in fact he has not engaged in basketball-related activities since retiring.

James is planning to own an NBA team. Although Kobe made movies, wrote novels, and published his autobiography, it did not delay him becoming the dean of the Mamba Academy. Only Wei Xia, a player who had a profound impact on an era, lived an ordinary life after retiring.

The only difference between him and ordinary people is that his total career salary is nearly 3 million US dollars.

Chen Mo glanced at the time, unexpectedly three hours had passed.

"Is it a bit late?" Wei Xia said unsatisfactorily, "I still have a lot of stories to tell."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "If it's convenient for you, shall we continue here tomorrow?"

"No, there are too many people here, it's inconvenient." Wei Xia already had an idea in his heart, "Tomorrow you come to 'Kobe (Kobe)>Hope (Wish) Restaurant'."

When Chen Mo heard the name of the restaurant, he asked, "Is there any story about this name?"

"There's nothing to talk about. It's never a good thing to have something to do with Kobe." It seems that the restaurant also has an unknown story.

Chen Mo doesn't need Wei Xia to tell all his stories.

He sorted out the notes in his hand and said, "Okay, but I still need to ask you a few questions."

"Excuse me." Wei Xia said casually.

Chen Mo immediately asked the first question: "What did Kobe mean to you in your high school days?"

"Benchmark."

"Do you regret not choosing Connecticut?"

"Why do you ask?"

Chen Mo said: "Your shooting is an old-fashioned problem. If you chose Connecticut, presumably, they can use the best shooting research team in the United States to improve your shooting."

Wei Xia smiled, Chen Mo didn't seem to take the "dream" that he regarded as the key point seriously.

In order not to make the old days sound too amazing, Wei Xia only said that it happened in a lucid dream, he did not say that what he did in the dream became reality, so it is normal for Chen Mo to ignore the importance of dreams.

But that's the most important thing.

Wei Xia doesn't know how to guide him correctly, maybe things in the old days will never be known.

"No, even if the shooting god taught me, I couldn't improve my shooting at that time." Wei Xia explained, "My shooting went through many ups and downs. Before the ninth grade, I couldn't shoot at all; before I graduated from high school, I practiced good shooting, but in the summer of my freshman season, my physical fitness grew rapidly, and my palms also developed again that summer. The previous shooting feel no longer applies. This is not a controllable situation."

Chen Mo did ignore the most important part, he didn't ask anything about the dream.

His final question: "Story about stealing Havlicek, is it true?"

"It's true."

"How do you prove it? I don't mean to offend, I just find it incredible." Chen Mo explained.

Wei Xia smiled gently and said, "Before I saw it with my own eyes, I was only skeptical."

"See it with your own eyes? Where?"

Wei Xia once again reminded him of the importance of dreams: "Dreams."

Because it was too late, Chen Mo and Wei Xia temporarily separated.

He went back and sorted out the stories Wei Xia told. Before the ninth grade, he was only 159 centimeters. In the following four years, he grew at an average rate of nearly 10 centimeters per year, until he reached 196 centimeters before he graduated from high school.

According to "Wish", those things happened after the dream.He seems to be deliberately linking the matter of growing taller with his dream.

In Wei Xia's oral story, dreams occupy one-fifth of the space.

For Chen Mo, the stories in the dream are only suitable to be introduced as leftovers, but Wei Xia regards them as the top priority.

That night, Chen Mo went back to inquire about lucid dreaming.

He believes that "Wish" is a master-level lucid dream expert. Perhaps the dreams he had were stories that happened in reality, or perhaps those dreams were constructed in his subconscious.

Although the things in the dream can't occupy too much space, Chen Mo also heard many interesting secrets.

The meaning of Kobe to "Wish", when did his influence on "Wish" start, and the change of "Wish" to Kobe, the story of the college period, and the trial training before the draft.

Chris Mullin's emphasis, Isiah Thomas and Larry Brown's lack of confrontation, the stupidity of the Bucks, Eagles, Bobcats and other teams and the Blazers who broke out halfway, and once again confirmed that Phil Jackson is as strong as the rumors.

Chen Mo likes Wei Xia's story very much about his five-hour trial training under the difficulty of the Zen master, and without drinking a sip of water, all the people who accompanied him in the trial training were exhausted.

It was a very "Wish" story.

Do what you want, I won't talk nonsense with you, I just make sure I'm the one standing after it's over.

That's what he's been doing since day one of his career.

No one can bring him to his knees, not Jackson, not Kobe, not LeBron James, not Stephen Curry, not Kevin Durant, not injuries, not everything, not at all.

When "Wish" mentioned the dream about Havlicek, Chen Mo felt that it was miraculous and unreal, but after thinking about it, he found that the two were so similar.

Chen Mo has never watched Havlicek's game. For him, this legendary figure who has passed away for 10 years is just a historical symbol.

Since he has been engaged in the basketball career before, he learned about Havlicek in the eyes of his contemporary opponents and teammates through many materials.

Regarding "Hondo", the comments he hears the most are modesty, kindness, diligence, tirelessness, and "true superstar".

Jerry West's evaluation of his sworn enemy is unforgettable: "John Havlicek is the real superstar. Other superstars are just figments written by critics and writers. Hondo is unique. When he left, those great qualities went with him."

Put this evaluation on "Wish" in a different way, isn't it the same?

Great characters can empathize and resonate.

The next day, Chen Mo went to the "Kobe>Hope" restaurant early according to the time agreed with Wei Xia.

Wesha's mother is British, and anyone who has been to the UK will be impressed by the British talent for naming.However, Wei Xia did not inherit his mother's talent. Judging from the name of his restaurant, there are no other adjectives other than terrible.

"If you want to eat something, just order it, I'll treat you."

Wei Xia said kindly.Although the name of the restaurant is not very good, the food is delicious, this point, he is confident.

Chen Mo didn't want to be affected by other things. He politely declined Wei Xia's kindness, and took out the recording pen and notebook, like a loaded cannon, ready to fire.

Seeing that he had no intention of eating or drinking, Wei Xia asked, "How do we start this time?"

"Just pick up the part that ended yesterday." Chen Mo suggested.

"Okay, everything has a beginning and an end." Wei Xia smiled lightly, "I was really surprised by the Blazers' choice at the time. After thinking about it, it was inevitable, but I was still moved to tears because my childhood dream came true at that moment, so I must thank Portland for fulfilling my NBA dream and not letting me go to jail. I love them."

　Kobe > I hope it is a daily life that is well conceived and requires two chapters, but after Kobe returned to the 76ers, he wrote and found that there was no room for daily life, and he couldn’t finish the book with another 1000 chapters.Forgive me, I just love integers so much.If one day in the future, the manuscript fee I receive is an integer, such as 2000 to 3000, I will retire on the spot.dog head#
