Chapter 147 The Kobe We Chased Together in Those Years (Today's 1nd Update)

Chapter 147 The Kobe We Chased Together in Those Years (Today's Second Update)

The Pistons did not play from December 12rd to December 23th. After a arduous road trip, Carlisle announced on the return plane that the team would have a three-day holiday, and they would not concentrate on training until the afternoon of the 26th.

With nothing to do, Wang Dalin decided to go to Los Angeles... He has been in the United States for more than a year, and he has not visited many places, especially Los Angeles, an international metropolis.

Of course, the biggest purpose of his trip is to watch the game between the Lakers and the 12ers at home on the night of December 25.

Wang Dalin, a senior fan, admired many NBA stars in his previous life, but his favorite is Kobe Bryant!

Although he had already played against Kobe face-to-face last season, and even the Heat used the "shark-cutting tactic" to beat O'Neal quite unhappy, but he still wanted to sit in the audience and watch Kobe play a game from the perspective of a fan.

In the NBA league, it cannot be said that there is no such thing as a star going to the scene to watch another star play, but it is definitely rare and pitifully rare.

Wang Dalin also felt that this kind of thing seemed a bit weird, so he deliberately reported it to Carlisle in advance.

"What? You're going to Los Angeles to watch the Lakers game?" Carlisle was obviously surprised, "Wang, are you serious?"

"That's right, I plan to go to Los Angeles tomorrow to go shopping first, and then return to Detroit after watching the game the night after tomorrow!"

"Well, anyway, the team is on vacation, and you are free to go wherever you want! However, your appearance at the 'Staples Center' will definitely attract the attention of the media, and the boss will probably be very upset if he finds out!"

Carlisle's worries are not unreasonable. Pistons owner Bill Davidson is a low-key philanthropist on the surface. He has donated 90 million US dollars in the 8000s, but Carlisle knows that this old man is actually very small-minded.

If the media over-interpreted the fact that Wang Dalin appeared in the "Staples Arena", even if Davidson didn't say anything on the surface, he would definitely feel very uncomfortable.

Yes, you are our star in Detroit, what are you doing in Los Angeles?

Is our Detroit too small to accommodate a great god like you?

Do you have to go to a big city like Los Angeles?

Who knows what Davidson will think then, anyway, Carlisle thinks that the old man will definitely not think that Wang Dalin just wants to go to Los Angeles for fun.

"Don't worry, Coach Rick, I will explain clearly to the boss!"

In fact, Wang Dalin didn't care what Davidson thought. He never intervened in club affairs and left everything to Dumars. Naturally, Carlisle had the final say on team affairs.

And he just signed a four-year long-term contract with the Pistons this summer. As long as Davidson is not in the water, he will not turn against him because of such a trivial matter, right?

Working hard in the arena of the NBA, who can not have a few friends?

Just like a taciturn guy like Big Ben, whenever Rasheed Wallace came to Detroit to play an away game in the past two years, as long as time allowed, he would always treat him to a big meal.

Wang Dalin also wants to get close to Kobe during this trip... As a senior Kobe, he knows that Kobe is a bit withdrawn and doesn't like to make friends everywhere like O'Neill, but Kobe also has friends, such as Tracy McGrady and Garnett, who have a good relationship with him.

On the morning of December 12th, Wang Dalin flew to Los Angeles. He first found a hotel to settle in, then bought a tourist map of Los Angeles at a newsstand on the street, and took a good tour looking for those classic attractions.

……

Los Angeles, located in the southwestern part of California, is the second largest city in the United States and the largest city in the western United States. It is known as the "City of Angels".

The tourism industry in Los Angeles is very developed. Hollywood located in this city is not only the film center of the United States, but also the film center of the world!

The most worthwhile thing to visit in Hollywood is naturally the "Avenue of Stars", which is a sidewalk extending along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street.

The winners of the "Avenue of Stars" are all those who have made outstanding contributions in the entertainment industry such as film and television, drama or broadcasting, and there are many Chinese among them. The most well-known ones are Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Wu Yusen and Huang Liushuang...Of course, it is now 2001, and Jackie Chan and director Wu Yusen have not had time to leave their mark on this avenue.

Now that you are in Hollywood, why not go to "Griffith Park"?

"Griffith Park" is the largest urban park in the United States, and it is also the first choice for Los Angeles people to spend weekends with friends or family.

There are many sightseeing spots in the park, including zoos, golf courses, museums, astronomical observatories, mountaineering and horseback riding trails, and train tours.

However, the reason why Wang Dalin came here was naturally because of the giant "Hollywood" sign on the mountainside in the park.

How can you have been to Hollywood without leaving your footprints under this giant sign?

The half-day was actually not long. After visiting "Griffith Park" that night, Wang Dalin returned to the hotel, and the next morning he went to "Beverly Hills" for a stroll.

The "Beverly Hills" located in the west of Los Angeles is naturally world-famous, and it is a dreamland in the eyes of the world's rich.

"Beverly Hills" is located on the cool and pleasant Pacific coast and at the foot of Beverly Hills, the most well-known of which is the Rodel Avenue surrounded by many luxury goods and top brand boutiques in the world.

The residential area of ​​"Beverly Hills" is known as "the most noble residential area in the world". It is the most famous city within a city in Los Angeles. Lakers star Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant live here... You can visit here for free, as long as you don't go to the residential area to harass the top rich people.

In the afternoon, he went to "Santa Monica Beach" to play for a few hours. The sun, sand and bikini beauties here are comparable to those in Miami.Wang Dalin put on his swimming trunks and swam in the sea for a while, then lay lazily on the beach to bask in the sun.

It's a bit different from Miami's extremely hot style. The beauties here are a bit conservative. Wang Dalin lay on the beach and basked in the sun for more than two hours, but no beauties approached him to ask him to put on sunscreen...

Last season in Miami, Wang Dalin was accosted by beauties more than once when he was playing on the beach, and most of the time it was beauties who asked to put on sunscreen!

And more than once he saw beautiful naked girls on the beach...that's the real hot girl!

Begging to put on sunscreen, as an old virgin for two generations, Wang Dalin naturally declined all of them, but his buddy Eddie House is very keen on this kind of thing... the technique needs to be as skillful as possible!

That night Wang Dalin appeared at the "Staples Arena" and first said hello to O'Neill.

Wang Dalin first contacted O'Neal when he first arrived in Los Angeles yesterday. After the game last season, Wang Dalin and O'Neal exchanged contact information. Compared with Kobe, who has a withdrawn personality, O'Neal is indeed the one who prefers to make friends.

The two chatted happily on the phone. Wang Dalin expressed his intention and hoped that O'Neill could help him get a ticket... O'Neill immediately agreed with his chest. This kind of thing is undoubtedly a piece of cake for him, a star player!

After getting the ticket, Wang Dalin couldn't help being stunned, this position is too good, right?

This is the first row of tickets... With the Lakers' market, even if this is just an ordinary regular season, Wang Dalin believes that it can be worth thousands of dollars at least!

Hmm... Considering that tonight's opponent is the 76ers, the Lakers' opponent in the Finals last season, and with the blessing of Iverson, a superstar, this ticket may even be worth tens of thousands of dollars!

Although this ticket is just a piece of cake for O'Neill, Wang Dalin is still very grateful: "Shaq, thank you so much for arranging such a good seat for me!"

"Wang, what's the relationship between us? We are brothers!" O'Neill grinned and said, "You can choose to watch me play, which proves that your vision is very good. Tonight, the 'King of Los Angeles' will definitely present you a wonderful performance!"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely cheer for you in the audience!"

Anyone would be very comfortable with O'Neal. This guy is a huge pistachio. He can always tell all kinds of little jokes to make people happy... Well, I guess Kobe is the only one who doesn't have a good time with him?

Of course, Wang Dalin came to watch Kobe play, but he has no friendship with Kobe, and he knows this guy's character well. It is too difficult to make friends with him... Maybe only when he gives this "black mamba" a hard lesson in the game, can he be eligible to be included in his circle of friends?

Hmm... let's watch the ball first!

Immediately after the start of the game, Iverson showed off his dazzling dribbling skills. He has perfected this skill, and it is estimated that no one in the league can match it.

Although Kobe's defense this season has been close to a big success, he still has nothing to do with a small player like Iverson who is almost boundless.

Wang Dalin observed Kobe carefully. This "Black Mamba" is undoubtedly stronger this season than last season, and is very close to Iverson in terms of personal strength.

Of course, before he led the team independently, he was still a little inferior to "Answer". After all, he had the most powerful inside behemoth in the league by his side.

Sure enough, O'Neill did not boast, and said that if he wanted to give a wonderful performance to Wang Dalin, he must perform well.

O'Neal played very hard at the beginning of the game. The 76ers' main center "Uncle Mu" was beaten by him and called "Ya Butterfly"... Even so, he still couldn't stop O'Neal from overwhelming the inside.

On the defensive end, O'Neal also showed very high enthusiasm. In the first half, he gave "Uncle Mu" and "Answer" a hot pot each.

There is one thing to say, if you have to compare the "court dominance", Wang Dalin even thinks that the peak O'Neal has surpassed the peak Jordan!

This is not Wang Dalin's nonsense. The performance of this "big shark" in the peak years is obvious to all. He can play the league's top performance on both offensive and defensive ends.Especially his inside attack, the offensive efficiency is obviously higher than that of the "old hooligan" behind his back.

If this guy didn't have the weakness of free throws, Wang Dalin believes that he will undoubtedly rank first in the NBA's historical center rankings, even though Chamberlain, Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon and others were no longer able to compare with him.

In the second half, O'Neal's physical fitness was a little tight. At this time, the "Black Mamba" finally showed his fangs.

Faced with Iverson's ghostly breakthrough, Kobe certainly had nothing to do, but when he went all out to attack, the 76ers players also had nothing to do with him.

If the overall ability value reaches 95, it is considered an S-level star. Wang Dalin believes that the overall ability value of this "Black Mamba" is almost 93 or 94, which is infinitely close to the level of an S-level star.

When the Heat and the Lakers played against each other last season, Wang Dalin hadn't seen Kobe Bryant use the technique of a fadeaway jumper, but he saw it in this game.

That's right, when Jordan is getting old, this unsolvable killer finally appeared on the NBA court!

Kobe and Jordan have always been similar in size, and his various technical movements are very similar to Jordan. When he showed off this backward jumper, some fans at the "Staples Arena" even shed tears of excitement...

Look, this is our Jordan in Los Angeles, and he is only 23 years old!

Who knows if he can reach the heights of Jordan in the future?

Even...beyond Jordan!

Wang Dalin also had some tears in his eyes, remembering that in his previous life when he saw the sad news that shocked the whole world, this fat man couldn't suppress the grief in his heart, two lines of hot tears had slipped down unconsciously.

In his previous life, he was just a fat nerd, even if he admired Kobe so much, how could he have the money to go to the United States to watch a Kobe game live?

In this life, he was finally able to watch him play on the spot. Wang Dalin felt mixed feelings in his heart, but he was more unusually happy...

Just like when many people watch "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", they can't help but think of their youthful years. At this moment, a line of words suddenly appeared in Wang Dalin's mind - the girl we chased together in those years...Kobe!

The game was very intense, and the two sides did not finally decide the winner until the last moment... In the last 2 minutes of the game, Kobe became the unique ruler.

In the end, the score was 82:88, and the Lakers only won by 6 points... This low score is undoubtedly the epitome of the entire NBA in this era.

After this season, the outside players of all teams in the league began to show their power. The league's rules on restricting inside players and encouraging outside offense finally began to take effect. The "four major shooting guards" and Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and other outstanding outside players began to show off. The glory of inside behemoths like O'Neal finally came to an end...

After the game, Wang Dalin greeted O'Neal and Kobe respectively. This time, he and Kobe finally exchanged mobile phone numbers... Kobe's EQ is indeed not high, but Wang Dalin traveled thousands of miles to watch you play, so he couldn't refuse people thousands of miles away, right?

O'Neill smiled and said that he would go to Detroit to watch Wang Dalin play when he had the opportunity to rest, and he must arrange the VIP seats in the front row for him.

For this kind of request, Wang Dalin couldn't wait for it, and agreed very readily.

The sense of smell of media reporters has always been extremely sensitive. They can pick you out even if you hide tightly. What's more, Wang Dalin made such a high-profile appearance in the "Staples Arena", so as soon as the game ended, countless reporters surrounded him with long guns and short cannons.

"Darling, may I ask if you came to Los Angeles to watch the game, are you preparing to play for the Lakers in the not-too-distant future?"

"Darling, are you here to see Kobe or O'Neal?"

"Darling, there is news that you and Jessica are very good friends. Are you disappointed that you didn't meet her at the 'Staples Arena' tonight?"

"Darling, Jessica said she admired you very much, what do you think of her?"

……

At the beginning, the reporters' questions were quite normal, at least they were about basketball. Later, their questions became more and more unreliable, and they even got involved with "Jessica".

As expected of a reporter in Los Angeles, the entertainment is strong!

It took Wang Dalin a long time to figure out that the "Jessica" in the reporter's mouth turned out to be Jessica Alba. This sweet-looking actress just starred in the sci-fi action drama "Dark Angel Season 58" last year. Jessica Alba attracted attention for her role as "Max" who escaped from the base after undergoing genetic modification, and was nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series at the [-]th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards.

This year, she starred together with Michael Weatherly in the sci-fi action drama "Dark Angel Season [-]" directed by the great director James Cameron, and is currently gaining popularity in Hollywood.

Many fans know that Jessica Alba is an out-and-out Lakers fan, and she is a hardcore Comey.

There are rumors that if Kobe hadn't married Vanessa and had children early, something might have happened with Jessica Alba. After all, the two admire each other very much.

However, things seem to be a little different in this life. Wang Dalin heard from the reporter that... Jessica Alba admitted that she admired herself very much, and it was a completely undisguised appreciation!

This is a bit interesting...

One is a popular actress in Hollywood, and the other is a popular fried chicken who is currently in the limelight in the NBA. For reporters, these two people seem to be born to meet each other...By the way, provide them with a lot of news materials, it is best to gossip directly!

Wang Dalin is a little speechless... Why don't you say that I am only 19 years old at this time, a minor who is not even old enough to drink alcohol?

Jessica Alba is very pretty, and it fits Wang Dalin's aesthetics, but he has never even seen her face... The reporters in Los Angeles are too unscrupulous, so they want to stir up gossip?

Of course, Wang Dalin denied this outright. He told the reporters that he didn't know Jessica Alba at all.

A reporter raised a microphone and asked loudly, "Darling, if given the chance...would you want to meet Jessica?"

Wang Dalin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's go with fate!"

　Thanks to "Michael Kobe" for rewarding 300 starting coins again!
