Since the first day of the regular season did not have a match for the Laker, everyone had worked very hard in training to improve their competitive state. Therefore, the coaching staff waved their hands and the day before the start of the regular season became a rest day.
Chen Hao, who was not planning to maintain a robot-like lifestyle and was prepared to take advantage of the holiday to rest, woke up very early under the influence of his established biological clock. He stared at the gray situation outside and felt like he had been f * cked up.
Was it so difficult to rest for a day?
After tossing and turning in bed for a while, Chen Hao helplessly realized that he could no longer fall asleep, even though it was already 4:30 in the morning!
"Look at my bad temper ~"
After muttering to himself, Chen Hao decided not to sleep. After washing up and getting dressed, he walked out of the guest room.
That's right, Chen Hao did not return to his villa last night. Instead, he slept in Kobe's villa.
In other words, this kind of situation had actually become normal. After all, he and Kobe would play a fierce game every night after dinner. Usually, they would score 21 goals, but at night, they would score 30 goals.
With Chen Hao's current defensive ability, he would need at least an hour and a half. He was really testing the waters at the edge of exhaustion.
Exhausted, he naturally couldn't drive home. After taking a shower, he slept in Kobe's house.
Anyway, there were so many empty rooms in the villa. It would be a waste to leave them empty. It would be a good thing for Chen Hao.
Vanessa had no objections to this. After all, Chen Hao was her informant by Kobe's side.
Her man was too outstanding. Sometimes, it was a kind of trouble. Even someone as beautiful and sexy as Vanessa would have times when she was not confident.
She did not think too much about it. As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Kobe walking down the stairs quietly.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"You can't sleep either?" Chen Hao whispered.
Kobe rolled his eyes."It's all because of you. I've been getting up so early every day during this period of time.”
" You don't have to come." Chen Hao shrugged.
"Humph ~"
Kobe did not explain anything. He only showed a tsundere expression.
Chen Hao and Kobe didn't dwell on this topic. They had a tacit understanding and didn't mention anything about training. After drinking a glass of milk and eating some bread to fill their stomachs, they drove to the nearest 24-hour supermarket.
There was a breakfast stall there.
Seeing them arrive so early, everyone expressed their surprise.
After recognizing Kobe, Chen Hao had nothing else to do. He could enjoy his breakfast quietly, and Kobe could not care too much.
After a rather rowdy breakfast, the two men went to the supermarket casually. They bought a lot of ingredients and prepared to go out for a picnic.
"You've never gone on a picnic with Vanessa and the others?”Chen Hao looked at Kobe in surprise.
Hearing this, Kobe's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded matter-of-factly."
"No, I haven't ~"
"You're not interesting at all. I really don't know what Vanessa likes about you.”Chen Hao said disdainfully.
For a moment, Kobe did not know how to retort. He was not a romantic person. Most of the time, the way he expressed his feelings was very simple and crude. He bought a diamond ring, the kind with a large carat, a mansion, the kind with a large square meter, a car... Yes, there were more than ten luxury cars in the garage. It was very difficult to choose.
Usually, he was busy with basketball training and games. In his free time, he had many business activities to attend to. He rarely had time to accompany his family. Thinking of this, Kobe actually felt a trace of guilt.
Seeing this, Chen Hao didn't say anything else. The two of them quickly bought a lot of food and prepared to go out to the wild for barbecue today.
He had to admit that the meat produced in America was really cheap.
The variety was also very rich, but the seasonings were a little monotonous. However, this was not a problem for a foodie like Chen Hao. He quickly searched the entire supermarket and found the seasonings he wanted.
Eating barbecued meat without cumin, chili noodles, garlic, and other condiments was soulless!
Chen Hao didn't care whether Kobe's family could accept it or not, so he bought a whole bunch of them.
Chen Hao had been staying at Kobe's house many times recently, so he had to pay for the purchase himself.
Knowing that Chen Hao was not short of money, Kobe did not stop him.
When the sky gradually turned bright, the two of them finally completed their shopping activities. Kobe became the driver with honor.
As he drove, he muttered,
"You really know how to shop. If I didn't stop you, would you have been able to shop until dawn?”
"I'm just hanging out with someone I like more. I didn't notice the time ~" Chen Hao laughed.
She did not forget to wink at Kobe.
Kobe almost lost his grip on the steering wheel.
" Alright, I won't tease you anymore. There's nothing wrong with my sexual orientation." Chen Hao wasn't going to risk his own life.
Kobe heaved a sigh of relief. He focused on driving the car, but he was still a little confused. According to his mindset, 21 years old was the time when a young man was in love. Chen Hao did not have any thoughts of having a girlfriend.
With his looks, figure, and current status, finding a girlfriend was a very simple matter. However, after being by Chen Hao's side for so long, Kobe had not seen him interact with any woman except his wife, Vanessa.
Huh?
He felt that something was not right.
" I'll get Vanessa to introduce him to someone more reliable. I can't let my brother be lonely forever," Kobe thought to himself.
As the supermarket was not far from their home, the two of them quickly arrived at their home and found an unfamiliar car parked at the door.
" This guy is still as energetic as ever. He's here so early," Kobe sighed.
Chen Hao expressed his doubts.
"Our agent is here," Kobe explained.
They were teammates, and they had a very good relationship in private. Now that they were about to share an agent, Kobe realized that he and Chen Hao were getting more and more entangled. He was very happy to see this scene.
After this period of communication and countless off-court matches, Kobe had determined that Chen Hao was the helper he wanted the most. The two of them together would definitely be able to bring the Los Angeles Clippers to new heights.
Who said that without Shaq, he wouldn't be able to win the championship? Kobe said that he had to prove himself and win the championship!
Chen Hao nodded in understanding.
Chen Hao had some understanding of Kobe's agent, Pelinka. There was no doubt about this person's personal ability. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become Kobe's agent and be trusted all the time.
In the future, Pelinka was even more praised for his views on the profession of agents and his code of conduct.
He was not a greedy vampire who only wanted to earn commissions from the players. Instead, he was an agent who sought a win-win situation and was mostly concerned about the players. He placed himself in a very fair position and was willing to be good friends with the players, not just a boss and employee relationship.
He was also very willing to help the players deal with matters outside of the game so that the players could fully devote their energy to the game.
Pelinka was one of the key factors in Kobe's success in his previous life.
Chen Hao definitely wouldn't reject such an outstanding manager who had come knocking on his door.
After getting out of the car, the maid quickly helped to bring the food in the car into the house and handled it according to Chen Hao's instructions.
Chen Hao and Kobe entered the living room and immediately saw a short-haired Pelinka, who had a sharp aura, walk up quickly. He said excitedly,""Hao, happy working with you ~"
"Uh ~~~"
Chen Hao didn't expect Pelinka to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment, but he immediately came back to his senses and smiled."Happy cooperation ~"
Since he had already agreed, Chen Hao would not go back on his word.
In any case, his salary for this year was only 450,000 dollars. He was not prepared to invest in commercial activities so early. He wanted to focus more on the competition, stabilize his position, and improve his strength. No one could get anything from him.
Pelinka nodded in agreement with Chen Hao's idea of focusing on the game and improving his personal strength."
"Hao, your idea is very good. Although you already have a certain reputation, it's not stable. The outside world doesn't know you well enough. Even if there are business activities and endorsements, the price won't be too high.”
After a pause, seeing that Chen Hao didn't say anything, Pelinka continued,"" That's why my plans for you happen to coincide with what you just said. This season, your main task is still in the competition. As long as you perform well on the field, money, status, and reputation will come knocking on your door."
Pelinka had done a lot of research on Chen Hao during this period of time. He found out that Chen Hao was actually a native of the NBA. He also learned from Kobe that Chen Hao's strength was enough to establish himself in the NBA and that he even had the potential to become a star player. That was why he was determined to become Chen Hao's agent.
Unlike other agents, Pelinka had never had a large number of players under him. He had always been very careful about the selection of players based on the principle of fewer but better players and being responsible for every player under him.
This time, she had taken the initiative to become Chen Hao's manager. It could be said that she had made the decision after careful consideration.
There was even a trace of apprehension in his heart.
However, this last bit of worry disappeared after he came into contact with Chen Hao.
It could be seen that Chen Hao was a player who had a very clear plan for his career. He was not comparable to those players in the league who only wanted to get big contracts and make big money.
This was enough to make Pelinka admire him and be moved.
Both sides were satisfied with each other. Under Kobe's lead, they hit it off and signed the contract. Pelinka became Chen Hao's agent for the next three years.
After rejecting Chen Hao's request to have a barbecue with Kobe, Pelinka left in a hurry. With a player with unlimited potential and a huge market to rely on, he would be busy in the future.
Many things needed to be carefully planned.
He also had to start contacting and communicating with the management of the team to help Chen Hao deal with some matters outside the game.
For Chen Hao, signing an agent was not a big deal. He didn't think too much about it. After Vanessa brought Natalia downstairs, he directly proposed the idea of a picnic, which was approved by Vanessa.
He looked at Kobe in surprise, as if he had just been enlightened.
This made Kobe blush, but he felt guilty. He had thought too simply about relationships. This woman in front of him had been by his side wholeheartedly after his scandal and had even given birth to a daughter for him.
He even took the initiative to give birth to a son for himself to inherit Mamba's basketball will and career!
How could he not love such a woman?
Kobe expressed that he could no longer be too self-centered and ignore Vanessa's feelings.
The weather in Los Angeles was very good that day. It was blue sky and white clouds. The sky was clear and the sun was gentle.
Looking at the Kobe family of three happily playing together, Chen Hao admitted that he was envious. The image of Elizabeth Olsen appeared in his mind again. He couldn't help but shake his head and throw these images out of his mind.
" I'm not a lolicon!"
The day passed quickly amidst Vanessa's constant cries of failure to lose weight.
Kobe was gluttonous today. Even Natalia loved Chen Hao's barbecue. If Vanessa hadn't stopped her, she might have eaten too much today.
Chen Hao felt as lonely as the snow when he saw Kobe and the other two succumbing to his cooking skills and acting like they had never seen the world before.
Compared to the foodie paradise of Greater China, the cooking style and taste of America were too monotonous.
After the picnic, they returned to the villa. Chen Hao and Kobe both put away their relaxed expressions.
The new season would begin tomorrow, and the leisurely time would come to an end. After that, it would be the busy regular season.
Kobe was going to start working hard for his first championship since he parted ways with O'Neal!
As for Chen Hao, he was expressing that he could finally earn money efficiently!
