I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 2
Lao Han was very efficient in handling affairs, and good news came in the afternoon, "Tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning, Kobe will go to the Toyota Center, the Lakers' training facility, to deal with some matters. After hearing that you are Chinese, he is willing to give you [-] minutes. Remember Don't be late, he hates others being late! At the same time, you should cherish this opportunity, if it is someone else, no matter how good you are, he will never see you for a second."

"Really? Really?" Chu Xiao asked twice in a row before cheering happily, "That's great! Old Han, you are awesome! Don't worry, I will never be late."

At around 03:30 the next morning, Chu Xiao arrived at the Toyota Center early after crossing Wutiao Avenue. This is the Lakers training facility. The well-known Staples Center is not a dedicated basketball court. Those on loan to the Lakers and Clippers will let stars hold concerts and other activities when there are no games.

Chu Xiao had just arrived in the United States, and it was the first time he could clearly distinguish these things.

He stood at the gate of the Toyota Center. Through the iron gate, he could see the dark lights in the arena, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Originally scheduled to meet at 9:3 am, he arrived at 5:[-] am, more than [-] hours ahead of schedule. Is it pure fear of being late?

Not all!

As Comey, who hasn't heard the phrase "Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning"?

Because he was going to see Kobe, he couldn't sleep at night with excitement, so he simply got up, walked to the Toyota Center, and took a look at Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning.

"It turned out to be like this. The street lights flickered, and the air was still filled with the coolness of the night. It was so refreshing~ It really was not bad!" Chu Xiao was talking to himself, and suddenly saw his own figure covered by the street lights. Pulling the old elders and elders, he couldn't help but feel playful, bent down, and challenged his own shadow.

He first pretended that he had a basketball in his hand, and then started to dribble the ball to the ground. He suddenly moved forward quickly, made an emergency stop in the middle, and then made a fake shot, took another step to the side, and then shot, and the ball went in!
"Good shot! Good shot!" Chu Xiao began to cheer, "I'm too good, you can't defend at all!"

After a brief celebration, Chu Xiao continued to attack with the ball. He swayed his body from side to side, tricking his opponent into taking off and blocking the shot.

"Yeah!" Chu Xiao got excited, and then scored ten goals in a row.

"Yeah, you can't guard me, come on, let's switch sides."

This time, Chu Xiao chose to defend. When the ball holder moved forward, he strode up to him. The opponent swayed. Front a top while reaching out to interfere.

"Your shooting posture is out of shape, you can't make this shot!" Chu Xiao stopped defending and pointed out the problem with the shadow.

"Boy, what are you doing?"

Chu Xiao was working hard with his own shadow, and didn't notice that someone was approaching behind him at all, so he was taken aback by such a sudden question, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and was even more stunned.

The visitor was tall, thin, bald, wearing a Lakers uniform, holding a basketball in his hand, staring at Chu Xiao with piercing eyes, as if looking at a fool.

"Boss, boss? No! Ke, Kobe!" Chu Xiao stammered.Although he had just made a name for himself in the CBA, it was the first time he had seen Kobe so close up until now. The excitement in his heart was beyond words, and even his voice started to tremble unconsciously.

This person is Kobe. He is obviously used to the reaction of people seeing him in this city, so he repeated the question just now with a grim face, "What were you doing just now?"

"I was just now practicing..." Seeing the boss's question, Chu Xiao answered honestly like a child.

"Practice?" Kobe repeated, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something, and then laughed, "So, you were fighting against your own shadow just now?"

"Uh, yes..." Chu Xiao lowered his head in embarrassment. Of course he knew that Kobe liked the story of single-handedly fighting the shadow. He usually imitated it when no one was around, but now he was bumped into by the deity. It was really embarrassing. .

"Hahaha..." Kobe really couldn't help laughing out loud, as if he heard a very funny joke.

Chu Xiao didn’t know why Kobe was smiling so happily all of a sudden, but he just stood there at a loss and waited until Kobe had laughed enough before listening to him continue, “I told the media that due to the offseason, I couldn’t find it. A suitable sparring partner can only lock yourself in the arena and fight against your own shadow. At that time, I thought that only this one suitable opponent could help me improve continuously. Now seeing you doing the same, why do I suddenly feel a little stupid ah?"

"Eh..." Chu Xiao scratched her head, really not knowing how to answer.

"Okay, buddy, I'm kidding, you did a great job!" Kobe suddenly became grim again, "Where's your phone, here it is!"

"Ah~?" Chu Xiao didn't react. He heard the word mobile phone, but he didn't know what Kobe was going to do, but he just hesitated for a moment, then immediately took out the mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and obediently handed it over to him. go up.

Kobe took it without setting a password. Very good, he flipped through the software in his phone, found the camera, clicked on it, and waved to Chu Xiao with a smile, "Come on, come here! Let's take a photo together!"

"Hey!" Chu Xiao lowered his head and sighed. Only then did he realize what the other party meant, but he still leaned over immediately.

1, 2, 3, eggplant!
"Okay, it's still a while before dawn. You should go back quickly and get some sleep. I'm going to train first." Kobe returned the phone to Chu Xiao, and then pushed open the door of the training hall, walking in Said, "I guess you have come here many times. In fact, I am very busy recently. I have to prepare for the Olympics and participate in some business activities, so I don't appear here every four o'clock in the morning."

After finishing speaking, Kobe actually turned his head and winked at Chu Xiao slyly.

Ah, does he think I'm here to chase stars?It was only then that Chu Xiao came to his senses. Seeing Kobe turned around to close the door, he hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Kobe knew that this fan must have been waiting for him for a long time, so he would have other requests, so he asked patiently, but he didn't know that was not the case at all. He only heard Chu Xiao say, "Kobe, hello! My name is Chu Xiao, I am a Chinese player and the No. 21 rookie this year. We made an appointment to meet here at 9 o'clock this morning."

Chu Xiao suppressed his nervousness, and explained the real intention of coming in one breath. He knew that Kobe was a busy man, and not everyone could see him if he wanted to. There was only one chance, and he had to take it seriously.

Sure enough, Kobe pondered for a while after listening, and then suddenly said, "Yes, you are the Chinese player who wants to join the Lakers?"

"Yes!" Chu Xiao stood up straight and replied seriously.

"So you're not here to chase stars?" Kobe asked again.

"Yes." Chu Xiao replied again, "No!" He thought for a while and followed up.

"What do you mean, do you?" Kobe pretended to be serious.

"You have always been my idol, and I dream of joining the Lakers, so I am here, hoping to get this opportunity, by the way, by the way, by the way..." Chu Xiao expressed his thoughts seriously again.

"Interesting..." Kobe suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was very interesting. He asked while playing with the basketball, "In this case, our appointment is at 9 am, why are you here so early?"

Chu Xiao originally wanted to say that he was so excited that he couldn’t sleep because he cared too much about this opportunity and so on, but after thinking about it, many people would say that when they met Kobe. What can I say to leave a deep impression, and at the same time let him know that his strength is not bad, and it is completely worth encouraging the Lakers to trade.

He thought about it, saw that Kobe was getting impatient, and seemed to want to go in for training without wasting any more time. He was anxious, and blurted out, "I want to fight you one-on-one!"
