All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Compared with Toronto, where Su Feng stayed, Los Angeles in February was not too cold.

But when walking around the house with a cane...

After one night, Kobe felt extremely cold.

"Honey, are your feet feeling better?" After putting Natalia, Theresa and Gianna to sleep, Vanessa stepped forward and asked as she looked at Kobe who couldn't sit still these days.

After hearing this, Kobe suddenly remembered what Teresa said to him this morning, "Dad will be fine." A smile appeared on his face.

"It's much better than when I just had surgery." Kobe said after a passionate kiss with Vanessa.

"Then do you still want to watch the All-Star Game today?" Vanessa asked.

Complete......

All-Star Game......

Speaking of which, last summer, I told that bastard that I would definitely beat him this year...

But now...

Looking down at his right foot, after letting out a long sigh, Kobe shook his head and said, "Don't watch it, there's nothing interesting to see."

Vanessa nodded, "Then let me take a shower and then we watch TV series together?"

Another passionate kiss.

For Kobe, who just had surgery on his right foot...

Vanessa is undoubtedly his strongest support at this moment.

But, half an hour later...

When Vanessa walks out of the bathroom...

In the living room, Kobe, who had just said he would not watch the All-Star Game, was already sitting on the sofa, and his eyes were staring directly at the TV that was broadcasting this year's All-Star Game in Las Vegas.

Vanessa smiled bitterly, and then sat next to Kobe.

"Who do you think Kevin (Garnett) selected this year?

I don't understand why he didn't choose Yao and Tim. "Pointing to the TV, Kobe couldn't help complaining to Vanessa.

"Maybe, he has his own ideas?" Vanessa said with a blink.

"It seems that bastard Su is going to win again this year."

On the court, as the game started, Vanessa discovered that no matter how well Kobe pretended, his mind had already drifted to that damn...

basketball court.

"No, why doesn't LeBron hit this ball himself?

Could it be that when he is in the open position, his chances are worse than when Su is being marked? "In Las Vegas, when James chose to pass the ball to Su Feng during an offense, Kobe said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Oh! My God!

How Cameron reads the game...

Even if God lent him the courage to play this ball, there was no way he could have shot it in front of Yu Su in that position! "On the court, when Anthony, the starting small forward of "Team Garnett", took a shot in the logo area, Kobe Bryant complained.

However.......

Swish——!

Kobe: "......"

In Kobe's mansion.

Maybe it was because Anthony's shot broke the defense...

In the next period of time, the subject instructor became obviously quiet.

It wasn't until the third quarter, after "Su Feng's Team" took the lead on the court, that Kobe couldn't help but complain: "They say John Davis is a famous coach...

But the adjustment he made tonight would be enough to send him to the stake! "

Looking at Davis, who refused to call a timeout in the third quarter, Kobe subconsciously thought of Phil Jackson, the "fake Zen master" who had tricked him.

But.......

On the court, in the fourth quarter, what Kobe never expected was...

On the "Garnett Team" side, when Su Feng and Garnett were choosing horses, Vince Carter, who "don't even want a dog", actually hit 4 three-pointers in a row for "Garnett Team".

"Isn't Su coming back? If he doesn't come back, they will lose this game!"

At this time, Kobe, who had a strong sense of the commentary era, couldn't help but complain about the substitution adjustments of "Su Feng's Team".

"Huh, I thought you were going to sit out until the end of the fourth quarter.

Dear, watch out, it’s about to enter ‘Su’s show time’! "On the court, after Su Feng returned to the court and hugged Vanessa, Kobe said with a smile.

only.......

On the court, Su Feng is back.

This is the game......

In Kobe's view, Su Feng had no intention of winning at all.

Ouch!

It's just an All-Star game...

For Su Feng, who aims to win three consecutive championships this year, how could he give up everything for an entertainment competition?

And what's more, this is an All-Star Game without Kobe?

In the end, in Las Vegas, "Garnett's team" successfully ended the two-game winning streak of "Su Feng's team" 129-117.

After the game, in an interview, Garnett, who won the MVP of this All-Star Game, also sent blessings to the injured Kobe on behalf of all the members of the "Garnett Team": "You all know, originally Kobe should be our captain this year.

So, at this moment, I also want to send my blessings to Kobe who is recovering from his injury.

There is no doubt that this is the victory we worked together to win for Kobe! "

In front of the TV, if Duncan was the person who said the above words during an interview, Kobe would be happy from the bottom of his heart.

But because the relationship between Kobe and Garnett is so good, I know that Garnett is a "yin and yang wolf"...

So at this moment, Kobe, who repeatedly savored Garnett's words, always felt that Garnett was blaming himself.

Immediately afterwards, when reporters blocked Su Feng at the scene, Su Feng also joked: "My condition is really not good tonight...

As for the reason?

I think you all know that....

The All-Star Game without Kobe simply cannot inspire my fighting spirit. "

Kobe: "......"

Damn Su thief!

It’s obvious that you don’t want to win!

If you lose the game, why should I take the blame for you?

But I don't know why...

After hearing Su Feng say that without his own All-Star Game, he wouldn't be able to ignite his fighting spirit...

Kobe's mood actually started to improve.

look.......

What does it mean to know how to make Kobe happy even though he is thousands of kilometers away?

Knowing that Kobe Bryant would definitely take a peek at the All-Star Game, after the game, even if he wanted to fly back to Miami immediately to prepare for the next regular season, Su Feng dedicated 5 minutes to be interviewed.

"Honey, I'm a little sleepy, why don't you go to bed early?

The doctor has said that you need to rest now. "

After accompanying Kobe to watch the All-Star Game, Vanessa hugged Kobe's arm and wanted to ease Kobe's grief by teaching him how to speak English...

But who would have thought that after pushing Vanessa away, Kobe actually said: "I'm not sleepy yet, you go to sleep first, I want to watch TV for a while."

Vanessa: “…..”

And about twenty minutes later, when Vanessa walked out of the bedroom again...

She originally wanted to increase her hints to Kobe...

He was immediately confused.

Because this thing......

He was actually staring at a video whose quality was obviously from the last century, laughing like a fool.

"This is Su's birthday gift to me two years ago." Kobe said, pointing to the video.

"Yeah." Vanessa nodded.

"Oh, I didn't expect that I would be so talented on the offensive end back then.

Look at this ball, bitch Su actually wants to attack me from behind...

But not only was I unmoved, I punished him with an elegant backstroke!

Oh, right.......

Dear, do you know what Su’s biggest weakness is in her life? "In the living room, when Kobe turned around and wanted to chat with Vanessa about the interesting stories between him and Su Feng...

At this time, Kobe just realized that he was the only one left in the huge living room.

"Go on, don't you want to tell me Su's weaknesses?"

And just when Kobe thought he had made Vanessa angry again, Vanessa sat down next to Kobe with a can of orange juice.

"How about we sleep?" Kobe asked cautiously, looking at Vanessa.

"No, my curiosity has just been aroused by you." Vanessa hugged Kobe and smiled.

Kobe: "..."

Tsk!

One thing to say.

In Kobe's eyes, Vanessa's ability to fall out is faster than anyone else.

"Su, he is actually a very timid person." After a pause, Kobe said to Vanessa.

But this time, Vanessa's curiosity was really piqued by Kobe.

"Is Su very timid?" Vanessa asked in surprise.

"right.

I still remember one time in high school, he asked me to watch a horror movie together.

Originally I said I didn't want to watch it, but he insisted on provoking me, saying that I must be cowardly to not watch it.

So I watched it with him...

And then you know what happened? "Kobe asked.

"What happened?" Vanessa asked curiously.

"You might not believe it.

For the next week, this guy had to call me every day until very late before going to bed. "Kobe smiled.

"No wonder.......

No wonder Britney complained to me that day that when Sue took her to the amusement park, she never took her to the haunted house. "Vanessa said with a look of sudden realization.

"Haha, believe me, if Sue and Britney went to a haunted house together...

Nasu would definitely hug Britney's thigh and not even dare to move! "Kobe looked up to the sky and laughed.

"My dear, let's ask Sue and Britney to go to the amusement park together next time we have a chance?" Vanessa suggested to Kobe.

After hearing this, Kobe suddenly felt that his mood was getting better and better. He nodded and said, "Speaking of Su's timidity...

I still remember asking him during a duel during our high school days...

Why are other teammates afraid of me when talking about me, but he is not afraid of me at all.

As a result, do you know what he said at that time? "

Well.......

If you don’t understand, just ask.

Does this matter have anything to do with Su Feng's timidity?

Vanessa was a little confused.

However, seeing as Kobe was in a good mood tonight, Vanessa suppressed her urge to complain about Kobe.

After Vanessa nodded obediently, Kobe continued: "At that time he said...

As the head of Lower Merion, why should he be afraid of me as the second head of the house? "

"But don't I remember that you told me that you were the absolute core of the Lower Merion team during your high school days?" Vanessa asked.

"certainly.

You know, Su at that time, if you let him dribble the ball by himself...

Maybe ten times of luck, he will dare to show you ten mistakes.

So I was anxious at that time.

Later, in the one-on-one training that day, I beat him ten times in a row. Kobe said, raising his eyebrows proudly.

Originally, Vanessa wanted to say...

What is being said now is that you never defeated Su Feng in high school...

However, after Kobe pointed his finger at the video on the TV...

Vanessa still suppressed her urge to complain about Kobe.

“This is the story of what happened that day.

I never expected that Su would go out of his way to record it.

Moreover, that day also happened to be the day before my 17th birthday. "Rubbing Vanessa's head, Kobe said.

I can only see in the video screen......

Who is Su Feng's opponent to Kobe?

But after every failure...

Su Feng will immediately challenge Kobe again.

"Watching this tape again today...

Dear, do you know...

I have been wondering why Su at that time could always stand up again after being defeated by me again and again...

And now, I think, I probably have the answer. "

After standing up on crutches with Vanessa's help, compared with Kobe who collapsed at the Staples Center half a month ago...

At this moment, Kobe was no longer confused.

Maybe one day, Kobe will realize after giving everything he has that he is destined to be unable to catch up with Su Feng again.

But that was definitely not today.

Maybe one day, people will say that Kobe is just Su Feng's background.

But that was definitely not today.

Maybe one day, the story of Lower Merion will be gradually forgotten by people...

But that's not today either.

In Kobe's mansion, looking at Kobe who had walked out of the autism room and no longer needed comfort, Vanessa asked Kobe one last question.

“Honey, I’m curious….

If Su has the opportunity to play with you in the future...

Would you be happier than you are now? "

And hearing this, at this moment, Kobe's thoughts were pulled back to eleven years ago.

That was the era when the Lower Merion Twins were riding high in Pennsylvania.

From Philadelphia to Pittsburgh.

From the Susquehanna River to the Monongahena River, Lower Merion's name has long been resounding across the top of Appalachia.

“Although I have enjoyed the thrill of competing on the field with Sue over the years.

but.......

to be honest.......

I can hardly remember the last time I was as happy as in this video..."

"Is it because your high school time with Sue was too unforgettable?" Vanessa looked at Kobe and said.

"No.......

It's because during the time when I was teammates with Su...

I never have to look forward or backward.

He moved forward, and I looked behind him.

As I moved forward, he guarded the back for me. "Rubbing Vanessa's head, Kobe said to Vanessa word by word.

"About Su's current skills...

You can even see a lot of the techniques I taught him back then.

Maybe time will gradually forget all this.

But Su won't. "After a pause, Kobe pointed at the blessing that Su Feng left for him in his own handwriting on this video tape, Kobe said.

And after Vanessa looked over with curiosity...

I saw it written above:

"I would like to commemorate the time when Kobe Bryant taught me how to play basketball.

Happy 25th birthday to you, your best friend, Su Feng. "

Time flies.

Time flies.

Since getting to know Kobe.

As of this year, it is already the thirteenth year that Su Feng and Kobe have been friends.

And thirteen happened to be the number Su Feng was selected in the draft that year.

It was also the order in which Kobe Bryant was selected in Su Feng's memory.

Thirteen years.

Many people and many things are changing.

But the only thing that remains unchanged is...

Su Feng and Kobe have a beautiful memory together.

In the draft that year, Su Feng joked to Kobe that if he couldn't survive in Los Angeles in the future, he would ask him to come find him to help his brothers play basketball in his hometown.

Kobe also joked to Su Feng that if he couldn't survive in the NBA in the future, Los Angeles would definitely be his forever home.

In February 2007, many big things happened in the NBA.

For example, although this year's All-Star Game in Las Vegas successfully broke the ratings record, violent incidents occurred in Las Vegas after the game, resulting in 3 deaths and 362 arrests.... ...

In recent years, the NBA image that Stern tried so hard to maintain has once again hit rock bottom.

And this night, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net After Kobe told Vanessa for a full 3 hours, the story of when he defeated Su Feng in a duel...

Late at night...

He also received a call from Jim Buss.

Kobe knows...

No matter how supportive Buss is usually, after this injury, I'm afraid he will have to be prepared for a salary cut when negotiating a contract extension with the Lakers in the future.

However, what is different from Kobe's imagination is...

One night after the introduction, Bass was talking to him about something other than contract renewal.

"Kobe, we have a game in Miami next month.

At that time, would you like to go with me to visit Su? "
