After a while, Xiao Yang calmed himself down. However, he did not forget the thought of giving Charlizards a gift. They had been together for so long, but he had not even given Charlizards a flower. Although Charlizards did not mind and had never complained, as her man, he could not be so tactless.
"My dear! What gift do you want?" Ask if you don't understand.
Xiao Yang really did not know what to give her. In his previous life, he was just a poor loser. At most, he could only send flowers or buy a small gift of a hundred yuan. Now that he was a billionaire, he could not afford to be so petty.
"I don't want a gift. You're enough to accompany me ~" Charaz blinked, his beautiful eyes gentle like water.
The consideration of a mature sister once again made Xiao Yang certain that he had to do something. It was not easy to find such a sensible girl.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Let's continue watching the competition!”
Xiao Yang kissed Charaz's forehead and decided not to think about it for now. He would think about it when he got back.
The commotion caused by Kobe's lovey-dovey shoes also calmed down, and both players focused on the game.
Xiao Yang noticed that O'Neal seemed a little unhappy. It was probably because a rookie's shoes had stolen his limelight.
Shaq really liked to be in the limelight. He also liked to create things to attract attention. To be honest, Xiao Yang felt that this kind of player was born to be in a big city like Los Angeles. If it were not for his many bad habits, he would not have been willing to trade him.
Kobe held the ball and continued to control the rhythm of the Laker's offense. In fact, the Laker with Shaq on the field basically had the same rhythm, slowly attacking from a half-court position.
He still passed the ball to O'Neal, who was in the center lane. Williams 'face was already green behind O'Neal. He had taken countless hits from O'Neal today. It was not easy for him with his size. He estimated that he would need to rest for a few days after this game before he could catch his breath.
Duang~ Another one-handed slam dunk. This time, O'Neal even used his non-ball-handling hand to quietly push Williams. The poor kid flew two meters away from the end line.
"Ah ~" The shark that landed on the ground roared with a ferocious expression. It stomped its steps and walked back.
"Hey, buddy, hold on a little longer!" Manning ran over to pull Williams up. He couldn't bear to look at his old buddy's eyes that had lost focus.
"Is the match about to end?" Williams 'brain had forgotten that it was only the third quarter of the game. He could no longer feel the pain in his chest. He just wanted to end this nightmare as soon as possible.
"No, you'll get used to it if you endure it!”Manning added.
"Puff ~"
……
As he was partnered with O'Neal on the court, Kobe did not show any desire to attack in the second half. Instead, he kept making balls for his teammates.
"Did I overdo it and suppress Mamba's desire to attack too much?”，Xiao Yang thought to himself as he looked at Kobe, who was keen on passing the ball.
"Don't let the God of Slaughter in history die because of me!”Xiao Yang felt a chill run down his spine. F * ck, Kobe was a Kobe who played on a high level of difficulty and constantly challenged his limits. It was not Kobe's style to play so logically!
"No, if this continues, I'll become a sinner of Hu Mi!”Xiao Yang decided to have a chat with Kobe during the time-out. He did not want to turn Kobe into James. Although James was also very good, Xiao Yang preferred to watch Kobe's style of playing alone.
When the officials paused in the third quarter, Xiao Yang stood up and walked to the bench.
"Hey, Kobe!" He waved at Kobe, who was standing in front of Harris and staring at the tactical board, signaling him to come over.
"Hey, Xiao, how are you? The two pairs of Anderma's signature shoes are so cool, especially this pair of red and blue shoes. Of course, the pair in the first half is also not bad.”After all, Kobe was only a 17-year-old youngster. He was still very excited that his signature shoes were so cool.
"It's good that you like it. However, I'm not looking for you to talk about autographed shoes.”Xiao Yang interrupted Kobe." How do you feel about playing now? I saw you pass the ball several times instead of shooting.”
"Oh, you mean that. Actually, I wanted to make a move, but the coach's tactic was to pass the ball to Shaq. I saw that Shaq had a better chance than me, so I passed it.”As Kobe spoke, he looked at O'Neal, who was sitting on the bench. There was a hint of envy in his eyes, as well as…unwillingness.
Xiao Yang caught Kobe's unwillingness. It was good that he was unwilling. It meant that Kobe was still ambitious. It was no wonder that he would compete with O'Neal for the boss in the future.
"Do you want to vote?" Xiao Yang felt that he should let Kobe know what he was thinking.
"..." Kobe looked at Xiao Yang without saying a word, then at O'Neal.
"Don't care about others. Speak your inner thoughts. Do you want to be able to attack as you please on the field?”Xiao Yang emphasized again.
"Yes, but…"
"Okay, it's easy if you want to!" Xiao Yang interrupted Kobe." I'm the owner of the team. I support your idea. Do you understand what I mean?"”
" You mean..." Kobe could not believe it. His eyes widened.
"That's right. I can tell you clearly now that I've always regarded you as the long-term plan of the Laker, the cornerstone of the future. The only thing the Laker has that is not for sale is you. I can even trade O'Neal!”Xiao Yang stared at Kobe and said all these in one breath.
"Of course, I can only guarantee that you will get support from the management level, but you need to fight for your position in the locker room and on the field. I can't help you with this. You need to show enough strength.”Xiao Yang patted Kobe on the shoulder, hoping that Kobe would understand his future path.
" Understood. Thank you, Xiao!" Kobe nodded and did not say much, but Xiao Yang could see something in Kobe's eyes. Other than his growing ambition, there was also the feeling of a man dying for his friend. As the owner of the Laker, what else could he say if he trusted a rookie who had just entered the league? He could only work harder to repay this trust and loyalty with a better performance!
At this moment, Kobe had decided his career. He would never lose to the Los Angeles Clippers!
"It's good that you understand. Also, I hope that even if you've made up your mind to be the king of the Laker, you have to deal with your relationship with Shaq. I don't want to see the team lose because of the two of you fighting for positions.”Seeing Kobe nod to indicate that he understood, Xiao Yang raised his fist and bumped it with Kobe's before returning to his seat.
"What are you guys talking about?”Charaz asked as he looked at the excited Xiao Yang.
"Nothing, I just opened a box!”Xiao Yang smiled mysteriously. He felt like he had opened Pandora's box, and inside the box was a Black Mamba.
"So mysterious!" Charaz glanced at it and did not ask any more questions. He turned his attention back to the field.
The time-out ended, and both teams returned to the court. The Los Angeles team replaced Philes with Fisher, and Kobe returned to the more accustomed 2-point position.
The Suns still left Finley at the 2-point position to face Kobe.
Fisher pushed forward with the ball. As soon as he passed the half-court, he saw O'Neal waving at him for the ball. Just as he was about to pass the ball, he heard Kobe's shout.
"Derek, over here!"
Kobe cut into the lane and raised his hand to signal for Fisher to pass the ball.
Fisher looked and saw that Kobe had a better chance. O'Neal had been heavily marked by the Suns 'two inside players because he had played so many times in a row. If he passed the ball, it might even be intercepted.
"Catch!" Fisher hit the ground and accurately passed the ball to Kobe, who was still moving.
O'Neal's face darkened. Damn it, what did these two rookies mean? One refused to give the ball to the boss when the boss asked for it, and the other asked for the ball when the boss asked for it.
However, Kobe did not care too much at the moment. After chatting with Xiao Yang just now, he understood his position. He was not willing to be just a follower. Now that he had the conditions, he naturally wanted to try to take the throne.
With the ball, he was ready to make a slam dunk.
"Don't you f * cking think about it!" Ceballos left Jones behind and headed straight for Kobe's forward path. He was angry when he saw the Laker. Now that he saw Kobe trying to dunk, he was even more disapproving.
Finley was following behind Kobe, and Ceballos was in front of him. There was no other way. It was impossible to dunk unless he flew over Ceballos 'head. If it was the previous Kobe, he would definitely choose to pass the ball. Whether it was O'Neal under the basket or Jones, who was empty, they were all good opportunities.
But at this moment, Kobe only wanted to respond to Xiao Yang with a beautiful goal.
"Don't you dare try to stop me!" Gritting his teeth, he used his powerful waist and abdomen strength to turn right while moving at high speed. In an instant, he turned to the right near the bottom corner.
Ceballos and Finley also reacted in time. They quickly surrounded Kobe and formed a pincer formation. Their bodies kept pressing on, trying to push Kobe out of the end line.
If it were any other player, they would either jump up and hit the ball against the two players, or call a time-out. Kobe would not care about that. Now, all he could think about was how to throw the damn ball into the basket.
He was also really domineering! Ignoring the two people who were still pressing him, he leaned back and jumped. His body flew out of the baseline in the air and formed a negative angle with the basket." Phew." He adjusted his breathing and gently pushed the ball out of his fingertips.
Kobe fell outside the baseline and slid far away. He quickly sat up and stared at the basketball that was still in the air.
Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people at Staples, the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, crossed the backboard from behind the baseline, and fell to the basket.
"Shua ~" The crisp sound of the net being scrolled.
Kobe sat on the floor with a smile on his face. He extended his right hand and pointed at Xiao Yang, who was not far away from him, as if to say," See? This is my answer!"
Staples was boiling! The stands were filled with cheers and screams!
The big screen kept replaying the goal from all angles. Whether the Laker fans were live or watching the live broadcast, they decided at this moment that they were fans of this kid!!!
