New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 27 Black Mamba Basketball Game
Day three after the Red Challenge.

"Yi, registration for the Black Mamba Basketball Tournament has started, are you interested?"

Wally said with Robert.

"Of course!"

Zhang Yi replied that even if he played basketball games every day, he would not be too many.

"Black Mamba basketball game?"

"The basketball league created by the legendary superstar Kobe Bryant has three-on-three high school students across the United States. We can still participate this year."

Wally explained.

"In the past, this event was dominated by five-star high school students. Let's drag them down this year!"

Robert said excitedly.

"Haha, which high school student who can be rated as a five-star is not a master, it's not as simple as you said."

Wally seems to be in a good mood right now.

"What's the reward?" Zhang Yi asked curiously.

"There is no trophy, no ring, and no bonus." Wally replied mysteriously.

"What's more exciting than that?"

Zhang Yi scratched his head with displeasure on his face. Even Yunhua had a broken trophy in the game. He didn't expect that in basketball, American capitalism is not evil at all...

"Is the news all fake? Doesn't it mean that you can earn tens of thousands of dollars by winning a game?"

Hearing this, Robert subconsciously grabbed the T-sleeve on his chest.

Thinking of his fiasco on the day of the street final in junior high school, his heart still ached.

"You're right. Of course the street race I participated in has bonuses, and I want the bonuses to heal here."

Robert said and pointed to the heart.

"It's a pity that we lost in the end."

His face has turned livid.

"Robert, stop thinking about the past. You can play now, you can score, you can win no matter what. Isn't it great?"

Zhang Yi said in a deep voice.

He found that American children's psychological quality is not good, and they like to immerse themselves in the past, whether it is success or failure.

Robert is also good, and Wall-E is also the same.

"Speaking of which, what is the reward?"

Wall-E smiled, "The reward is a dinner."

“Dinner with the Kobe family!”

Zhang Yi was taken aback, because in his mind, Kobe was already an old man who had been far away from the camera and the news.

Even if he used to be omnipotent in the NBA, it was more than 30 years ago...

"Remember what I told you, the black mamba has long been an indispensable symbol of the city of Los Angeles."

"Although he is over seventy years old, Kobe is still the godfather of basketball here, and his status is unmatched!"

Wally said with great interest, "Being able to have dinner with him is not only an honor, but also allows you to gain exposure."

"exposure?"

Zhang Yi asked, because he didn't expect to need fame to play basketball?
"That's right! Last year's MVP was a transparent player who didn't receive any invitations from famous basketball schools before the game, but after having dinner with the Black Mamba, do you know how many invitations he has received?"

"Eight letters! And these eight letters are from the top ten colleges in basketball in the United States."

Zhang Yi looked at Wally in surprise.

"It's like Genji became famous in the high school league. People call him a genius, but this is a reputation that has accumulated for several seasons."

"Dinner with Kobe, you can get the same exposure as him overnight, who wouldn't want it?"

Zhang Yi nodded, "It looks like it will be an interesting match."

"It's a game of hell!"

"Moreover, not all MVPs come from the winners. According to legend, Kobe will watch the game somewhere, and he has his own criteria for selecting winners!"

On the same day, Zhang Yi and the others went to sign up, and the race will start next Friday.

"Hey, Robert!"

Just when the three were about to leave, a voice stopped Robert from behind them.

"Grant? Hey, bro!"

Robert excitedly punched a black boy about 175 in height.

"Let me introduce, this is my opponent in junior high school, 'Little Gunner' Grant. These two are my UCLA teammates, Yi and Wally."

"Hello!" Grant made a gesture of blowing the muzzle of his gun.

Made Robert laugh, "You really haven't changed!"

"Hope your basketball skills haven't changed!"

After speaking, Grant made another gesture of retracting his gun and went to sign up with his teammates.

"Don't be fooled by his skinny appearance, this guy's also nearly [-]% three-pointers, and he's not a catch-and-shooter, he has a keen judgment and can create his own opportunities on the move."

"It's not just Grant, there are at least five five-star high school students present, and that's just what I know."

Robert said in a deep voice.

After listening, Wally swallowed his saliva and glanced at the dozens of high school basketball players around him, thinking that none of the players who came here to play were really bad.

"Haha, great, great! It would be great if the game started now!"

Zhang Yi's voice suddenly rose, scaring Robert and Wally into a fright.

The eyes of the audience suddenly fell on the boy with an oriental face, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

"Who is this guy?" "He has a new face and doesn't look very good."

"Don't pay attention to him, he's just a yellow-skinned brat trying to please the public."

They talked.

Zhang Yi swaggered outside amidst their criticisms.

Robert and the others followed behind in embarrassment.

Suddenly, a tall white boy stood in front of Zhang Yi. His figure was very strong, but he wore protective gear on his knees and wrists.

"Hey, you seem to be very happy."

"Shouldn't you be happy if you have a game?"

Zhang Yi stared at him like a fool.

"When the game starts, you better hope you don't run into me, or I'll let you leave crying!"

There was a fierce light in the boy's eyes, and he said viciously.

Zhang Yi spread his hands, as if he didn't pay attention to him at all.

Before the debate escalated, Robert and the others took Zhang Yi away with a sorry expression on their faces.

"Yi, the person who found fault just now is also a five-star high school student. He is in a bad mood because he missed the NBA draft due to an injury during the summer vacation."

"In this game, he will definitely vent all his pent-up anger on his opponent. We'd better stay away from him."

Zhang Yi didn't listen to their advice at all, because for him, only such opponents were interesting.

At this moment, a figure in a hoodie brushes past Robert.

Robert's forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, and his body trembled unconsciously.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yi asked immediately.

"It should be my illusion. I seem to see a man who can't appear here."

Robert's breath was weak, and his voice was much weaker. It could be seen that he was very afraid of the guy in his mouth.

Looking back, Zhang Yi saw that the man in the hoodie had already entered the registration field.

He was about to turn around and chase, "Let's go back!" Robert stopped him immediately, and then lowered his head and hailed a car.

On the way back, Robert had been meditating without speaking, and their atmosphere was extremely cold.

At this time, Zhang Yi finally received another flying letter from Lucy.

"I'll wait for you at the coffee shop across from the south gate of UCLA. Lucy"

Zhang Yi returned to the dormitory and immediately picked up the imprint box and ran to the south gate, because he had been waiting for a long time to settle these matters with Lucy.

　Shamelessly ask for recommendations, comments and collections, thank you
