I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 119
Trish took the plane back to Los Angeles at 3:[-] p.m., and just after reporting to Jenny's office, she was exceptionally promoted to the team's assistant to the president of public relations.

Interestingly, the position of president was still vacant, but the assistant arrived first.

Sunny, 25 years old and 1.68 meters tall, who replaced Tracy with the team, is a Caucasian man wearing glasses. She has a beautiful appearance and a gentle personality. She is very popular with her colleagues.

When all the Lakers players woke up leisurely, it was already past 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It could be seen that everyone was really tired and slept deeply. After eating in the restaurant one after another, they all sat at the table in a daze , I don't know what to do for a while.

"Staying is also staying, why don't you go out for a walk?" Howard offered to take the initiative. His shoulder injury has basically healed. According to the five-vs-five confrontation training, there is little problem. This time against the Thunder, he will be included in 12 In the roster of the National People's Congress, Zen Master will also determine whether to activate him before the game.

Once activated, it means that he will return in the game against the Thunder, otherwise he can only postpone his return to Los Angeles.

For a player, once injured, the right to speak will be reduced, and even the bench seat must be offered to the player participating in the game, even if the player can only play for a minute or two, this is the field, the player is the most important, the injured After voluntarily giving way, they can only sit in a more marginal corner or stand, which will affect their right and desire to speak to a certain extent.

Before the injury, Warcraft Howard won the best defensive player, rebounding and blocking shots many times in a row. He was a bug-like existence on both ends of the offense and defense. He was also a player who was jokingly said that he could replace James alone. Five, even top three!

So when he was traded to the Lakers this summer, he not only had top statistics, but was also younger than Kobe. This series all indicates that he will be the next king of Los Angeles!

Duhon, Clark and other people in the second camp thought so and hugged this thigh in advance.

Of course, Howard also thought so, "At the beginning, my statistics were still very good. When I went to Los Angeles, I thought it was to succeed Kobe and become the core of the Lakers. I thought Kobe would retire soon."

The facts made it hard for him to accept that Kobe was still the core of the team this season. Not only did his average data not decline, but his shooting percentage went up. Time can only sit on the edge of the bench and watch other people in high spirits. He can't play or participate in tactical discussions, so he can only tell jokes to tease his teammates. This makes him very distressed. He feels that he has no confidence to fight for the boss. Can't show the posture of the prince.

It's different now. The shoulder injury that fell during the Magic period has finally healed, and he is about to usher in a comeback. He believes that only a few games are needed, and people will find that the once peak monster is back. As long as the data is top, get teammates, With the recognition of the coaches, media and fans, Kobe will take the initiative to give up, and the throne will be handed over this season.

Thinking of this, Warcraft was in a good mood, put on the appearance of a prince, and called on everyone to go out for a stroll together. In fact, he didn't have to visit many places, he just wanted to see how appealing he was.

When Warcraft looked around, Du Hong and others responded immediately. Nash, Jamison, and Artest were noncommittal. Only Chu Xiao was still sitting next to Kobe and whispering about how to defend Westbrook.

Warcraft's eyes finally fell on Kobe, and he thought, "He is 34 years old after all, and I am only 27 years old. It really should give way."

Perhaps feeling the burning gaze behind him, Kobe raised his head and looked back and forth, but the monster showed its big white teeth, smiled and lowered its head, refusing to meet his gaze.

"Heh, he's so careful, he can't even hide it." Kobe turned around and said something that Chu Xiao didn't understand.

"Ah, boss, who did it?" Chu Xiao asked.

"It's okay, it's just that someone is hurt and I can't wait to control the right to speak."

Chu Xiao immediately knew that he was talking about a monster, so he looked over subconsciously, just in time to see that the monster was also looking at him, and said with a smile, "Chu Xiao, do you want to go shopping together?"

"Well, I won't go, I want to study the game video with the boss."

"Oh! It seems that you and Kobe have a plan, then you study it and let's go out for a stroll."

After the monster finished speaking, it waved, and Du Hong and others followed immediately.

"Since we're going out, it's better to act as a group. Let's go together." Kobe stood up unexpectedly, and after pulling Chu Xiao, he pulled Nash, Gasol and others along the way.

It has to be said that even Warcraft was surprised by his move, because he supported Warcraft's proposal with his own actions and gave the latter enough face.

In fact, Kobe has a deeper meaning in doing this, that is, he does not want those neutral veterans to be in a dilemma and affect unity. After all, the team's goal this season is to win the championship. Broken legs also want to achieve the oath of this goal, then you have to do what you say, and other things are not worth mentioning.

Even though Warcraft has the idea of ​​wanting to be the boss and the idea of ​​playing happy basketball naturally, which runs counter to his own ideas, as long as he can avoid conflicts as much as possible, he is willing to accompany the other party for a while.

Although they agreed to go out, there are more than a dozen members of the Lakers, each with a height of 1.8 meters [-] or more than [-] meters. In the front and one in the back, the two maintain a distance that is neither too far nor too close.

And wearing sunglasses and hats. Fortunately, this is a city with a large number of Indians. Many people wear strange clothes, which are not particularly eye-catching. Most people can't recognize them without looking closely.

Oklahoma City is also known as "land without planning". At the beginning of the city's founding, about 1 people created a tent city in today's downtown area in one day. Oil was discovered here, and Oklahoma City began to prosper, and high-rise buildings rose from the ground, forming the current mode of coexistence of high-rise buildings and tents.

And because of the wide distribution of tents, Russia City, which only has a permanent population of 60, has an area of ​​1608.8 square kilometers, which is similar to Hangzhou in China. According to the weather conditions, it is similar to Leizhou Peninsula in China, and its prosperity is similar to Xining. However, according to Russia From the perspective of the city's economy, its per capita income level is second only to sporadic regions such as Macau and Hong Kong, and is even more than twice that of cities such as Shanghai.As far as the total economic scale is concerned, the GDP of Oklahoma City is roughly equivalent to that of Guizhou ZY and other cities, and it can still rank around 100 among many cities in China.

The reason why there is such a big difference in the economy is mainly because the city relies on agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and mining as its main source of income. The development of the city still relies on primary industries such as agriculture and energy. The world's top 500 companies Only Chesapeake Energy Corporation and Devon Energy Corporation are located in the city.

The Lakers players who left the hotel did not dare to go to the tent area, because the residents there were generally not to be provoked, and if they were not followed by others, they would cause trouble.They only dare to walk along the street to the bustling area.

There are many sculptures on the street, most of them are Indian cattle, short and thick, looking like they are about to fight.On the walls, colorful feathers, witch hats, crows and murals of Oklahoma can be seen everywhere, showing Indian culture everywhere.

The buildings on both sides are not very high. After walking about [-] meters from the hotel, you will see a bar street called River Walk. The decoration of each bar is very artistic, and even the canopy for sunshade is designed Keyboard of the piano.

Bar Street is built along the river. The river is the North Canada River running from east to west. It is crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds like cotton candy.

"If you leave the urban area, you can see farms around the city, with cattle and sheep in the wind and grass, and rows of white windmills, which will make people feel refreshed and very pleasant, but unfortunately we didn't have the chance to go there I see." Kobe said with a little regret.

Chu Xiao looked up at the clear blue sky. The sky was very low, very blue, and filled with white clouds. One could imagine how beautiful those farms were under such a sky.

Because everyone was wandering on foot, they couldn't walk too far, so they only went to the Tropical Botanical Museum in the urban area, and saw all kinds of tropical plants in it competing for splendor and beauty.

On the way back, I passed a small gymnasium, where a baseball game was being held, and no tickets were required, so everyone went in with great interest to see that a group of teenagers were playing.Chu Xiao didn't know much about baseball, so he paid attention to the surrounding environment, and found that the entrance of the baseball field turned out to be a Chinese-style double cornice. He couldn't help being surprised, thinking that Chinese culture had a profound influence on the world.

After the game, the street lights came on, but Kobe told everyone that it was time to go back to eat, "Oklahoma City is an authentic city that never sleeps, and there is almost no restaurant that is open after 9 p.m. So we have to go back to the hotel for dinner."

"Then these people stay at home at night? Is there no other place to play?" Chu Xiao couldn't help asking.

"Yes, there is. The red brick town (Bricktown) located on the east side of the downtown area is the largest or the only entertainment center here. On game days, the Mickey Manto Steakhouse (Mickey Manto) in the red brick town Mantle's Steakhouse) is a place that players, fans, cheerleaders and media people will choose. Unlike the bustling metropolis, it is always quiet on days without thunderstorms and games. If it weren’t for the Thunder team, Russia Delahoma City is just a dead city with a bleak future.” Bryant said what he knew.

It is hard to imagine that because of a team, the city will be lively on the days when there are games.No wonder the Thunder have always adhered to the concept of Team is One. In fact, the entire Oklahoma City has always had a strong, warm, and homely feeling.
