I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 131 Society, My Brother Gua

Although Chu Xiao was suspended for two games, his daily morning training was unshakable.

Early the next morning, he arrived at the training hall early, and Kobe, who was waiting for him to be singled out, immediately noticed something was wrong, "Hey, what's wrong with your mouth? It's swollen!"

"I got into a fight with someone last night, but let's talk about it after we finish training?" Chu Xiao hoped to train first.

"Well, I like your personality very much!" Kobe attacked and Chu Xiao defended. The two really put other things aside and fought each other for more than an hour. Finally, they were so tired that they sat on the floor.

"Let's talk, don't get caught by the police in a daze like last time, and refuse to sue people when you come out. What happened this time?" Kobe was the first to speak.

"This time is indeed different from last time. I seem to be targeted by gangsters." Chu Xiao shook his head helplessly.

"Underworld, why did you provoke them?" Kobe was a little nervous when he heard this.

Chu Xiao then talked about saving people in Houston and the situation where someone broke into the house with a gun last night, and finally said, "At first I thought it was just a conflict in the nightclub, and it wouldn't really matter. I didn't expect that the other party had a gang background. , and can reach out to Los Angeles, this is obviously not a simple person, so I didn't tell the truth to the police, just because I was afraid that they would retaliate recklessly."

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, so this is it. But you are right, it is useless to call the police for this kind of thing, or it will be too late for them to find out. The most important thing to solve this problem is to find the right person , I happen to know a few people like this.” After listening to his narration, Kobe was obviously relieved, because he felt that the matter was not difficult to solve, and he was even in the mood to joke, “You have a little personality. Strange, the ordinary police detain you, you are afraid that they will lose their jobs and you don’t have the heart to sue afterward, you dare to fight someone who is taller than you on the basketball court, and you dare to provoke gangsters in the nightclub, isn’t it? This is the so-called strong when you meet the strong, and weak when you meet the weak? Haha”

Kobe asked after laughing, "Do you know what gang they are? Or give me a few names, or even the appearance of that person last night. The more special it is, the better."

Chu Xiao thought for a while, "Speaking of which, I really don't know what gang they belong to. I just remember that wretched man with a thug and a mouse, and a guy with dyed red hair was by his side. As for the guy from last night People, wearing black clothes and hats, and hiding in the dark light, it is really hard to see clearly."

Kobe couldn't help feeling a little worried, "I don't know the gang or the name of the person, so it's a bit difficult to find out. But it doesn't matter, I'll call someone first and ask, maybe someone knows about it."

Kobe immediately got up and went to get his cell phone to make a call.

"Mr. Chu Xiao." At this moment, a guard showed his head from the entrance of the training hall.

"Hey, Connie, what's the matter?" Chu Xiao recognized the doorman, and usually greeted him with a smile when entering the arena from the gate, and after a long time, he knew the name.

"It's like this. A young man named Ripley came to the door. He insisted on seeing you, and he couldn't drive you away. Would you like to see him?" Connie carefully asked for his opinion.

"Ripley?" Chu Xiao quickly searched for the name in his mind, and suddenly remembered, "Could it be him, is he still there? I'll go out right away."

He saw that Kobe was still on the phone, and after pointing to him outside the door, he followed Connie out.

Outside the gate of Toyota Center, there stood a thin man in a suit and tie. Chu Xiao didn't connect him with the thin monkey in his mind for a while.

It was the man who waved at him happily, "Hi, Chu Xiao, remember me? Ripley, we watched the game together at the Beverly Police Station."

"It's really you?!" After Chu Xiao found out that it was him, he quickly took two steps forward, "Why are you here? And looking at your clothes, it seems to be very different from before."

"Hey, I'm a real estate agent now, and my job requires me to wear a suit and tie." Ripley smiled a little embarrassedly.

"So, you really followed my advice and found a serious job?" Chu Xiao said pleasantly.

"Yes, I won't steal anything in the future. I'll sell the house and try to buy a big villa." Ripley answered seriously.

"Great! We should use our energy on the right things. I'm happy for you if you can make a change." Chu Xiao appreciates that he can turn his prodigal son back, but he also knows that since the other party came here early in the morning , I must have encountered difficulties, so I asked, "You should have other things to ask me, right? Let me tell you, I can help you with everything except that I haven't saved enough money to buy a house."

Ripley was directly amused when he heard the words, "Then you must come to me when you have saved enough money. However, I am looking for you this time for another matter."

Ripley's expression became a little serious, "Have you offended a man named Mad Dog? I heard from my former friends that he was going to tease you. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't know until my friend stepped on your house It's true."

"Mad dog? I don't know! But last night, a man in black and black hat broke into my house with a gun." Chu Xiao said.

"That's Mad Dog!" Ripley said with some fear, "Are you all right? Are you injured?"

"It turned out that the man was called Mad Dog, no wonder he was so good at fighting." Chu Xiao suddenly said, "I'm fine, he didn't shoot, he just fought with me, and then he ran away after alerting the police."

"You fought against him?" Ripley couldn't believe it, and then remembered the news he saw two days ago, Chu Xiao beat Ibaka in the game, and couldn't believe it again, "I'm still late, originally I wanted to tell you to beware of him last night, but I couldn't find your contact information, and I didn't remember to come to your training hall to block you until this morning, fortunately you are here."

Ripley persuaded, "I don't know why you provoked him, but listen to my advice, do as soon as he says, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. Mad dog, as the name suggests, will not give up until it achieves its goal , Chasing his target like a mad dog and not letting go, the final target will be tortured to death. In addition, he blackmailed, stolen, extorted, smuggled, drugged and so on. Few people in Los Angeles dared to offend him. More The most important thing is that he is a member of the Blood Gang. This gang is famous for blood debts. He saw that you are very skilled this time, so he probably thought it was fun, so he played with you for a while, and he might just let you eat bullets next time. This is no joke!"

Judging from Ripley's expression, he didn't seem to be exaggerating. Chu Xiao couldn't help but feel that this matter was getting more and more difficult. At first, he thought that the other party just suffered a small loss in the nightclub and would not really feel sorry for him. Until That person sent a killer to threaten him, only then did he realize that he really got into trouble. Just looking at the status of this killer in Los Angeles, one can imagine how rampant that person would be in Houston.

Besides, Chu Xiao had heard about the Blood Gang. The Blood Gang and the Lame Gang were the two largest gangs in the United States, with branches all over the country.In the past, the two major gangs often went shopping because of conflicts of interest. If they offended one gang, they could seek shelter from the other. But then something happened that made the two gangs unite unprecedentedly. In 1992, four Los Angeles police officers beat up a black driver, but they were not convicted by the judge. A temporary truce was declared.

The Cripples at their peak had about 30000 to 35000 members, while the Bloods had about 20000 to 25000 members.

After that truce, with the development of the times, the two gangs have rarely fought each other. Instead, the current lame gang and blood gang have become training bases for rappers, such as singers Nipsey Hussle, Snoop Dogg, Dave East, The Game, and more.

Members are from all walks of life. If you offend them, even black and white people can easily settle it.

Seeing that Chu Xiao was lost in thought, Ripley said, "I came here mainly to remind you that if you can find a relationship, you should find a relationship. Even if you can't, don't work hard with the other party. You should apologize and pay compensation. For the sake of being an NBA player, it will give you face and may attract you to join the gang. Even if that is the case, don’t refuse, or you will really be killed. Their purpose is to pay for blood Make up for it, stain it with blood. I will stop here first, I have to go back to the company to work immediately, so you can do it yourself."

After Ripley finished speaking, he ran towards the subway station.

Chu Xiao looked at his back, and then realized, "Thank you..."

How to do it?Is it really going to be a dead end this time?It is estimated that even Kobe can't handle it this time. After all, it is one of the largest gangs in the United States-the Blood Gang.

Seeing him come back, Kobe said with a dignified expression, "I asked a few people, both black and white, but none of them heard that someone was going to mess with you. It's really strange. Who exactly are you offending?"

"Blood Gang." Chu Xiao said these two words almost unrequitedly.

Sure enough, even Kobe showed a surprised expression, "How do you know?"

"Ripley told me." Chu Xiao didn't wait for Kobe to ask who Ripley was, and then told what happened at the entrance of the training hall.

Kobe's next words almost sentenced him to death, "No wonder my friends in Los Angeles can't handle it."

But he quickly brought new hope to Chu Xiao, "However, Anthony should be fine."

After Kobe finished speaking, he called Carmelo Anthony, nicknamed "Melon", but he didn't expect the latter to get it done without saying a word.

Half an hour later, Chu Xiao received a call from a stranger, and the other party said softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were Mr. Anthony's friend, so I'm here to apologize to you! At the same time, as compensation, if you come to Houston again in the future Any nightclub drinking and having fun, all expenses will be charged to my account, and I guarantee that you will not need to spend a cent!"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiao took a deep breath and looked at Kobe, "What background does Anthony have?"

Kobe smiled and said, "Haven't you heard such a sentence? Call the society my brother, and people don't talk harshly."

Some things are like this. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is difficult to reach the sky, and it is already a hurdle that cannot be overcome. But in front of rich people or people with a deep background, it is often a matter of one sentence.

Chu Xiao didn't know the extent of Anthony's background, but since that phone call, no one has troubled him again, including the frightening mad dog in the legend.

The information Chu Xiao can get from the Internet is that Anthony was born in Baltimore, the darkest and most chaotic city in the United States. This place is also known as the "Gang City", and there are countless cases of crime, guns, and drugs under the undercurrent .And Anthony was robbed by local gangsters on the street when he was a child, and was almost shot dead, and the person who rescued him was the local gangster, so since then, Anthony has developed a strong friendship with the gangster.When the famous "4.27 Baltimore Riot" happened in the United States, a black youth was beaten to death by the police for no reason. Participate in the parade.

The incident in Baltimore also attracted Anthony's attention. He first left "I will find the truth myself" on social media, and then flew directly back to his hometown the next day, leading tens of thousands of people to participate in the street parade. The scene was also very spectacular. From this we can see How influential is Anthony in the local area!

However, it is unavoidable that some NBA stars have underworld backgrounds. Most of the players in the NBA are black. Except for some "second-generation stars" with superior families, many players grew up in slums and faced guns, drugs and violence since they were young. He also embarked on the road of gangsters. Although some stars gradually became famous in the NBA and lost their way, there are still some players who still have unclear relationships with gangs after entering the league.

In addition to Anthony, there are Iverson, JR, Butler, Roy, Pierce, Harden, Wall and so on.

It is interesting to say that the rapper 6ix9ine once pointed out in court that the head of the Wizards star Wall is an out-and-out gang member. He was also exposed by the media to attend gang gatherings, not only making the classic gesture of the blood gang , and later took out the totem-level equipment of the blood gang, the red turban, which further confirmed the background of the gang members.

Rockets star Harden, like Wall, had an unfortunate childhood. Harden’s father was imprisoned twice for drug trafficking when he was a child. As for whether Harden joined a gang organization, there is no accurate stone hammer yet, but from Harden According to some of Deng's friends, he should be a member of another famous gang in the United States, the Lame Gang?

Because of the enmity accumulated over the years and the conflict of interest caused by the drug business, it is impossible for the Cripple Gang and the Blood Gang to truly reconcile.

So, would it be possible for Harden and Wall to play on the same team one day?
