I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 144 Treat Brother Gua to Dinner

"He is almost 35 years old, and he should retire soon. I must be the future boss of the team!"

"Hey, I'm ready to be the boss of the Lakers after Kobe retires, why doesn't he step aside?"

"Not only did he not give up his position, but his performance became more and more peak. Both scoring and shooting percentage are new highs in recent years. How can I take over?"

"No! I want to perform even better, so that everyone can see that the new king of the Lakers will only be more powerful, and he can not only dunk, but also skillful in low-post singles. Although he has beast-like physical fitness, but only by Technology can defeat the league's invincible opponents."

"..."

Warcraft competed with himself, gave up the past play style of picking and rolling for teammates and quickly dunking dunks, honestly stayed in the low post and waited for the ball and singles, and grabbed rebounds if he didn't score. , the number of rebounds did not drop too much.

But in the eyes of others, he seemed too soft, as if he didn't dare to confront others, he just hesitated and evaded blindly, making mistakes constantly.

In the two games after returning from injury, the Lakers lost two games in a row. People didn't wait for the Orlando Warcraft to feel uncomfortable, so they began to ask the reason and complain.

Warcraft didn't fit in either, and when he was playing in Orlando, he was a city hero, everyone liked him, praised him, and helped him get more.

Even if you make a mistake, people will say, "Howard, it's okay!"

What he couldn't understand was how it was different when he came to Los Angeles.He wants to stay at the basket to show more low-post skills, but Kobe hopes that he can run out to cover for his teammates, and then go down to the basket or dunk.

"What's the point of this? Isn't it the same as when I was in Orlando, I have to rely on my body to play. And I want to rely on technology to reach the peak again!" Howard complained in his heart.

What makes him even more upset is that the media in Los Angeles have no tolerance for his changes. They never say "It's okay!" Instead, they always say, "You should play like Shaquille O'Neal." You're always joking, you should learn from Kobe."

Howard became angry when he saw the news. When he was recovering from his injuries, he couldn't help throwing newspapers and protective gear, and scolded angrily, "I'm not O'Neill, you guys like O'Neill so much, you have the ability to bring him back! Damn it!" , This fat man, I hate him so much!" "And Kobe, why should I learn from him? Before I was a teammate with him, I defeated the Big Three of the Green Army and James. Isn't that amazing? Already? Where do you need to learn!"

In fact, even Howard himself didn't expect that from the moment he left Orlando, he never wanted to be the Warcraft in 2009, and then he would never return. Scoring the ball or drawing a foul, etc.

He doesn't want to play the game mechanically, he just wants to make changes and live a different self.

So when Bryant wanted Howard to put more energy into setting screens and defending the rim against the Cavaliers, he didn't accept it.

As a result, the relationship between the two parties became more indifferent.

"I don't care! I don't have any friends in the league anyway, so I'll be a lone ranger from now on!" Howard looked back at Queens.

"I just want to make a change. If everyone is prejudiced against me, then I will not choose to turn a blind eye." Few people know that Howard has a small notebook to record "enemies" from this day on.

It was also from this day that he continued to be a happy big boy on the court in front of people, and began to write and draw in a small notebook when he returned to the court.

When Warcraft was self-isolating in the hotel alone, other teammates were having fun in different places, but Chu Xiao and Kobe were picked up by a big black car, and their destination went straight to Manhattan, New York.

If New York is the center of America, then Manhattan is the center of the center.

Specifically, Manhattan is the most densely populated district among the five administrative districts of New York City, and it is also the smallest administrative district. It is mainly composed of Manhattan Island and Roosevelt Island, and is surrounded by the East River, Hudson River and Harlem River. .

Wall Street in Manhattan is the most important financial center in the world, with the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, and the real estate market in Manhattan is also one of the most expensive areas in the world.There are currently 1585873 residents, with an area of ​​59.5 square kilometers, or an average population of 26668 per square kilometer, which also makes Manhattan one of the most densely populated places in the world.

Manhattan's Chinatown is the largest Chinese settlement in the entire Western Hemisphere. It also has a large number of high schools and universities, including Columbia University, New York University and Rockefeller University, which are among the top 50 universities in the world.

After Chu Xiao got into trouble with the blood gang in Houston, he attracted killers to break into his house in the middle of the night, and finally settled it with a phone call from Carmelo Anthony of the Knicks.

The Lakers were going to play against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden the next day. Chu Xiao invited "Gua" Anthony to dinner through Kobe. The latter readily agreed and decided to have dinner at an Italian steakhouse in Manhattan. , and then sent four burly bodyguards to meet Chuko, and he rushed to the steakhouse with his wife Lara Vasquez hand in hand, without any ostentation.

The famous American female psychologist Joyce Brothers once said a classic saying: "The best proof of love is trust."

Anthony and Lara Vazquez, the model NBA couple, met in 2003 and got married in 2010. It has been 9 years now, and they still support each other and love each other. And they keep love fresh The secret is trust.

Lara Vasquez, born in Brooklyn, New York on June 1980, 6, is a host of "American Idol", record producer and MTV, comedian, best-selling author, singer, and is 25 years older than Anthony.

Carmelo Anthony, born in Brooklyn, New York on May 1984, 5, was selected by the Denver Nuggets to enter the NBA as a third pick in 29. He serves as a small forward, nicknamed "Melo" and "Gua Ge", and currently plays for the Nicks The Adams team has been selected to the All-Star 2003 times in his career and won 10 scoring title. Because of his many individual singles methods and excellent scoring ability, he is called "offensive kaleidoscope".He is also the leading scorer, rebounding leader and player with the most gold medals in Team USA history.

Lala is graceful, enchanting and charming, revealing the beauty of a mature woman, while Anthony, as an NBA player with a background, exudes a hormonal atmosphere, but the love between the two started out like an ordinary idol drama.

In 2004, in a bar, Lara ran into her ex-boyfriend Sugar Ray, and her girlfriend brought her new boyfriend to meet her old lover. An inevitable conflict occurred. Sugar Ray was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he took a sip The drink was spit directly on Lala's face. Seeing this scene, five words floated above Anthony's head: "It's not a discussion to beat you."

The tall and big Melon stepped forward and gave her ex-boyfriend a fist, three punches and two kicks made the ex-boyfriend run away.But the matter didn't end there. Lara's ex-boyfriend secretly sent someone to make a DVD. Not long after the fight happened, he extorted $300 million from Anthony at one time. It wasn't until the police showed up that the matter came to an end.

After the drama of the hero saving the beauty was staged, the love story of the hero and the beauty began.Anthony and Lala fell in love. On Christmas Day in 2004, Anthony mustered up the courage to propose to Lala and presented a 9-carat diamond ring to show his sincerity.Lala also bowed at Anthony's knees and agreed to his proposal.

It is because of the scene where the hero saves the beauty that Anthony showed his masculinity. What women want is a sense of security. Perhaps Gua Ge should thank Sugar Ray. What could have been done in three years, now only needs "a mouthful of phlegm".

The small boat of love will always experience wind and waves.Last year, Lala appeared naked in an American TV series, performing passionate scenes. In an interview, she said: "Anthony supports me. He understands that this is my job. It's just that he won't watch it himself. Our jobs are separate from each other. , I will take care of my work, and he will take care of his own business."

Lala's words just revealed the secret of the two people's long-term marriage preservation, giving each other enough space and trust, as Anthony said: "Trust is the most important thing. You must trust the people you live with. Foundation."

In addition to trust, Anthony also gave his wife meticulous care.

So when he saw Chu Xiao, he said that they didn't know each other. The reason why he agreed to help settle the blood gang was not only for Kobe's face, but also because he appreciated Chu Xiao's protection of his girlfriend.

When Ibaka said to Chu Xiao on the field, "Your girlfriend tastes like Honey Nut Cheerios" translates to "Your girlfriend tastes like a donut." This trash talk completely angered Chu Xiao, As a result, Ibaka was beaten up on the field, and afterwards he made an appointment to fight in the ring.

Although Chu Xiao was suspended for two games, his behavior attracted Anthony's appreciation. Anthony gave him a thumbs up and said, "Dude, well done! My girlfriend will never allow others to slander , If you encounter trouble in the future, just call me, we will be brothers from now on."
