New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 51 Dinner at Kobe's House
Kobe's mansion is located at the end of Kobe Avenue in the prime area of ​​the rich area of ​​Los Angeles.

Knowing that Zhang Yi decided to go to the banquet tonight, I don't know if it was Kobe's intention, a luxurious smart Alpha car appeared at the gate of UCLA on time.

Zhang Yi told Lucy on the phone that she was going to be a guest at Kobe's house that night, so she also came in a black evening dress that was elegant and sexy.

Lucy's appearance was already sexy and seductive, and the black evening dress that showed her figure attracted the attention of countless passers-by.

It's just that Lucy, who used to be enthusiastic and lively, seemed very quiet tonight. Maybe her attention was all focused on the handsome Zhang Yi in a suit.

"Let's go." Zhang Yi took her hand naturally, but Lucy smiled and took his arm more enthusiastically.

"This is more like a couple." Lucy stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Next time you're looking for me to act as your girlfriend, you'll have to pay for it!"

Hearing her words, Zhang Yi replied with a smile, "There is a saying in our country that cows don't drink water and force their heads."

Lucy rolled her bright eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

"It means that if you don't want to be my girlfriend, you can refuse...I won't force you out of wit..."

While talking, Zhang Yi wanted to push away Lucy who was clinging to him.

I saw Lucy cut out, "In this world where there are many girls and boys, do you still want me to follow you?"

Seeing that Zhang Yi didn't speak, Lucy immediately changed her attitude, "Haha, anyway, I like you, and if I chase you, I will chase you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she kissed Zhang Yi's face, and then her cheeks turned red like a little girl's.

"No, it's not like you." Zhang Yi said in surprise.

"Haha, don't say that, I'm just imagining your little girlfriend studying in your hometown, she should be so innocent and cute."

Zhang Yi sighed at this moment, "You are you, she is him."

Of course, Lucy is not a jealous little girl. Instead of saying that she wants to get Zhang Yi, she might as well want to get the feeling of being excited now.

She turned her head and looked out the window, "Do you know why this road is called Kobe Avenue?"

Zhang Yi shook his head, he knew nothing about Los Angeles.

"Because Kobe has continued to support orphaned children over the years, and most of those children are the product of gangster family tragedies..."

Speaking of this, Lucy's eyes showed a trace of sadness.

"You know, many people say that Kobe is using his own money to wipe the ass of the gang."

"But in order to reward his achievements, in addition to Kobe Day, the government also has this Kobe Avenue."

"So what you do is similar to him?" Zhang Yi remembered what Lucy said to him at the back of the restaurant that day.

"No, I'm still far behind." "Once upon a time, I only hoped that my man could be like Kobe..."

While speaking, her eyes fell on Zhang Yi.

But Zhang Yi didn't answer, but he was even more excited to meet such a great Black Mamba Kobe.

As soon as he entered Kobe's home, the huge portrait that greeted his eyes in the front hall was the Kobe family.

Zhang Yi originally thought that such a great basketball superstar would be proud of his career, so his home decoration would reflect his player memory everywhere.

But after walking around, Zhang Yi found that there was nothing in the living room of Kobe's house except an old photo of him holding up the Lakers No. [-] jersey when he first entered the NBA.

"Look at my youthful appearance, believe it, when I was 17 years old, I felt that I was invincible, but the reality is, even signing the contract has to be done by my parents... Haha..."

Suddenly, Kobe's old but powerful voice came from behind Zhang Yi.

He turned around with Lucy, and Kobe in civilian clothes appeared in his eyes, a cane carved with a black mamba was particularly conspicuous.

"Hi. Sorry I'm late."

Zhang Yi stretched out his hand subconsciously, but suddenly realized what qualifications he had to take the initiative to shake hands with the great Kobe.

His hands were in mid-air, but Kobe smiled, "Very good."

He changed the crutch to the other hand, and then held Zhang Yi's palm.

If Kobe's figure is no longer tall due to the years of sculpting, then the only constant may be his big hands full of calluses...

"I thought you wouldn't come." Bryant said jokingly.

Zhang Yi smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I went out for a while."

Kobe blinked at him, "I know, that Tony guy mentioned it to me in the video, otherwise why wouldn't I be surprised by the changes in your body."

"What do you like to eat? I'll let the kitchen prepare it." Kobe asked Zhang and Yi.

As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant walked in and whispered something in Kobe's ear.

"Haha, GG is back tonight, and I want to introduce you to her."

As soon as Zhang Yi heard the name GG, Zhang Yi immediately realized that Wally once said that Kobe's daughter's nickname was this.

Kobe, Vanessa and their youngest daughter Gianna accompanied Zhang Yi to the table.

Jaina has a very good appearance, with a beauty that does not conform to youth.Her eyes also looked at Zhang Yi.

"Are you the Grand Duke Zhang Yi who won the Black Mamba basketball game?"

"Yes." Zhang Yi replied with a smile.

Gianna suddenly turned her head and asked Kobe, "Is he going to play in college in Los Angeles?"

Kobe raised his finger and pointed at Zhang Yi. "I'm on the UCLA Bruins now."

Hearing his words, Jaina's expression seemed to become excited, "Isn't that Wacker's team, it must be very interesting, tell me about it."

Now Kobe's family is most enthusiastic about basketball is the youngest daughter Gianna.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very harmonious, especially Kobe was like a quiet old man with no dignity brought by his status, which made Zhang Yi feel very comfortable.

Gianna's current identity has officially become the team manager of the Lakers, but she did not use Kobe's status to win over superstars, but chose to cultivate the current rookies in the team in a low-key way.

"Do you know why I didn't directly introduce superstars?" Jaina's words became more after drinking.

Zhang Yi smiled and shook his head.

"Listen, what I'm waiting for is a new face, the facade of the league is old, you should know who I'm talking about..."

Zhang Yi immediately realized that she should be talking about Xiao Curry.

"And it's not just me, many people are aware of this problem, so the draft in recent years has been the highlight of the NBA."

As she said that, Jaina walked up to Zhang Yi holding a glass of wine, "What I'm waiting for is a young man like you who has an infinite future!"

"By the way, although I am busy this season, I will also watch UCLA games. That guy Wacker is also here and I strongly recommend you."

Zhang Yi was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that Wacker was already paving the way for him to enter the NBA.

"I promise, you will see a different UCLA! Get ready to go crazy for us!"

Zhang Yi smiled and raised his glass and bumped it with Jaina.

"Haha, it's getting more and more interesting. By the way, I want a lot of seedlings next year, and I'm holding the No. [-] lottery for next summer..."

Zhang Yi naturally understood the meaning of Jaina's words. At this moment, Kobe suddenly said, "Don't worry, I was still the No. 13 pick back then, and the pick is bullshit, haha."

Zhang Yi nodded, but he told himself in his heart that the No. [-] pick of the Lakers next summer would only sign him.

For this reason, in this new season, he must show an absolutely powerful performance...
