Chapter 284 Brothers Chatting
The gathering of the old Lakers teammates is still set in Kobe's mansion in Beverly Hills, which seems to have become an exclusive area for the Lakers players to gather and have fun.

At noon that day, Li Du came very early, not because he wanted to come so early, but because Kobe called Li Du in the morning and asked him to come early.

On the playing field, Li Du and Kobe were opponents facing off against each other. Outside the playing field, Li Du was still Kobe's little brother, so when Kobe shouted, after Li Du sent Priti to the set, he would Drove to Kobe's mansion.

When he arrived at Kobe's house, Li Du realized that only Kobe and his wife Vanessa were in the house, and no one else had arrived.Li Du and Vanessa have known each other for a long time. It is not the first time he has come to Kobe's house. Everyone is friendly with each other. After Li Du called his sister-in-law, he threw the car keys to Kobe and found a sofa at random. Sitting down, he asked, "Boss, why did you call me so early?"

Kobe smiled and said, "You boy won two games in a row. Vanessa asked you to come early today and cook for us!"

"Ah?" Li Du was taken aback, and said with a bitter face: "Boss, I'm a guest, so how can there be any reason to ask a guest to cook?"

Kobe didn't care about what Li Du said, waved his hand, and said directly: "Don't be naughty, is this the first time you cook for us!" After a pause, Kobe asked again: "Li, when you cook today? How about Vanessa and I watching?"

Before Li Du could speak, Vanessa poured a cup of tea for Li Du and handed it to him, then said with some distress: "Yes, Li, we really want to learn how to cook Chinese food from you. To be honest, you cook The dishes are really delicious, but every time I make them like you, the taste is completely different, this time you just came, please tell me the secret of cooking!"

"So that's how it is!" Li Du nodded, looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and saw that it was still early, so he said to Vanessa: "Okay! Sister-in-law, since you want to learn, I will definitely teach, then you first Do it once, let me see how you do it, and teach you again in this way, you will be more impressed."

"Okay! Then I'll wash the dishes first." Vanessa said and walked to the kitchen.

During this process, Kobe kept smiling, his face was a little stiff, until Vanessa walked into the kitchen, Li Du smiled and said to Kobe: "Okay, boss, sister-in-law has entered the kitchen. What's wrong with you? Listen It's so abnormal when my sister-in-law cooks!"

Kobe smiled wryly, and whispered to Li Du: "I'm not abnormal, I'm scared! Li, you haven't tasted her food, it's just..." Kobe didn't say anything here, Li Du could imagine What kind of devastation was that to Kobe, so he laughed.

Kobe and Li Du are chatting about these trivial matters, which just shows that Kobe and Li Du are true brothers. Like his own home.

While the two were chatting, Vanessa had already washed the dishes, and then asked Li Du and Kobe to help her in the kitchen.Seeing Vanessa cook with his own eyes, Li Du knew how terrible the devastation Kobe had endured. I saw that Vanessa poured salt and soy sauce into the pot together to make the food look good, and the meat in the pot was not cut at all, it was a whole piece!

Li Du saw the corners of his eyes twitching, and then looked at Kobe quietly. Kobe, who was on the court without changing his face, twitched at the corner of his mouth at this time, and his eyes were fixed on Vanessa, showing bursts of fear.

Shaking his head secretly, Li Du quickly stopped Vanessa, and said, "This...sister-in-law, let me do this kind of trivial matter, just watch from the side."

With Li Du doing it, Kobe secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and watched Li Du cook with Vanessa.In fact, Li Du's cooking is also very simple. For three people, it's just three dishes and one soup, so it doesn't need to be too delicate.

After the three of them had finished eating, Vanessa called the servants to clean up, and then she also left temporarily, leaving time for Kobe and Li Du.This is a smart woman, she knows that Kobe and Li Du have something to talk about, and she will never stand by dryly.

After Vanessa left, Kobe said to Li Du while sipping red wine: "Li, the Warriors have a great chance to beat the Lakers this time. If you win the Western Conference Finals, enter the Finals, and finally win the championship, Then you're one step closer to being an NBA superstar."

Li Du shook his head and said: "Boss, you said this is too far away. There are many strong teams in the Western Conference, and it is still unknown whether they can win you! Besides, is it necessary to win a championship to become a superstar? There is no championship in history. There are quite a few superstars with championship rings!"

Kobe laughed and cursed, and then told Li Du: "Li, you are wrong! There are many superstars and basketball superstars in NBA history, but there are very few real superstars, and each of them has won a championship!"

Ignoring Li Du's rebuttal, Kobe continued: "If you don't believe me, count yourself, including me, how many people can be regarded as superstars. I'm talking about real superstars, not the ones promoted by ordinary people!"

After Kobe said this, Li Du began to search in his mind.He doesn’t know those characters from too long ago. From the 80s to the present, according to Kobe’s requirements, whether it is on the court, in terms of contribution to basketball, or in terms of commercial value, people who can truly be called superstars, It seems that there are only black and white duo in the 80s, "Big Bird" Bird and "Magic" Johnson. In the 90s, the "God of Basketball" Jordan was alone in the world. Kobe sat in front of him.

Others may be superstars, or even basketball superstars, such as Iverson, Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Carter, Yao Ming, James, Wade, etc., and there are more in the long run, such as Malone, Stockton, Drex Le, Barkley, Olajuwon, etc., can count a lot in every period.

But in the eyes of Kobe, these people are not really superstars. Maybe James has a bright future, but unfortunately he has not yet reached that level, including Li Du!
Li Du is already very strong now, especially after he has learned the miraculous movement of "black dog biting chicken", which can fully mobilize the opponent's center of gravity without rushing, he has no technical shortcomings, and the rest is To prove yourself to the world.But Kobe always said that Li Du lacked a kind of temperament. It was because of this that Li Du failed to reach the height of a superstar. Temperament!
What Li Du lacks, what hinders his final growth, is what kind of temperament?
