basketball hall of fame

The Lakers did not play the next day, and Kobe invited Li Kang and Gasol to a party at home.

……

Li Kang came to Kobe's house and was shocked by everything in front of him. He looked like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, feeling like he had entered a palace.

Kobe's mansion is located in Orange County, Los Angeles, covering an area of ​​about 1600 square meters. The overall decoration style has a classical aesthetic, just like a castle.

Li Kang: "It's okay, Sister-in-law Va, I hit it off with Jaina very much, let her have fun with me!"

Vanessa looked at Li Kang apologetically, and at the same time glared at Kobe, indicating how he could let Jaina treat the guests so rudely, Kobe shook his head helplessly.

Both Li Kang and Gasol couldn't help laughing!

Li Kang: "Boss, I didn't expect you to be a strict wife, forcing us to practice on the court all day long, and finally someone can cure you, Mrs. Va, well done!"

After finishing speaking, he gave Vanessa a thumbs up to show that he is really capable, and Kobe was subdued!
