Chapter 935: Tickets given by Kobe!
Chapter 935: Tickets given by Kobe!
When Zhao Yun saw the boss, he couldn't help but feel excited. The beautiful and poetic jump shot was so charming that it was hard to forget.
Last year, the Lakers held a grand retirement tour for Kobe, which touched countless fans who loved him.
Especially his last words before leaving the court, "What can I say? Mamba out!" made many fans who have always liked him cry.
You know, Zhao Yun was also keen on basketball in high school, and naturally watched a lot of NBA games.
At this moment, Kobe was surrounded by several people. Zhao Yun had no choice but to stand on the periphery and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hi! Kobe!" This shout was like a thunder that broke through the sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention, including Kobe himself.
Kobe looked in the direction of the voice and soon found Zhao Yun outside the crowd. A trace of doubt and uncertainty appeared on his face, and he asked, "Are you... Zhao Yun?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yun almost jumped up with excitement and quickly replied: "Yes, it's me! Hahaha!"
Seeing this, Kobe did not hesitate to push aside the people blocking his way, walked quickly to Zhao Yun, shook hands with him warmly and hugged him tightly, and kept exclaiming: "Wow! Zhao Yun, it's really you!"
Zhao Yun was overjoyed and said with a smile: "I never dreamed that you would know me!" Kobe laughed heartily and responded: "If you don't know you in the sports world, you don't deserve to be in this circle! Everyone knows that you are the most valuable man in our sports world."
Zhao Yun smiled and said casually, "Money is just a thing outside of one's body. When we are born, we have nothing and when we leave, we can't take anything with us. The so-called worth is really not that important to me. To be honest, I really have no interest in money."
Kobe nodded thoughtfully after hearing this and said with a smile, "Hahaha, that's exactly right! Are you coming to the U.S. for business this time? Oh, yes, your girlfriend is American. Where is she? Didn't she come with you?"
You know, Kobe and Taylor Swift have a pretty good relationship. Just this year, Taylor Swift is going to hold a concert and specially invited Kobe to sing the popular song "See You Again" with her on stage!
Zhao Yun quickly shook his head and waved his hands, clarifying: "No, no, no, she and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend!"
Kobe smiled knowingly and consoled her: "Haha, it's okay! I understand. It's human nature that some things cannot be said in public."
Having said that, many Westerners often have difficulty accurately identifying Asian faces and are prone to face blindness. However, Zhao Yun is well-known in the sports world, especially when his relationship with Taylor Swift was exposed by the media, it caused an uproar in the United States.
Today, most Americans know Zhao Yun. However, if Zhao Yun walks down the street, people may feel familiar with him, but they are not sure whether he is the famous Zhao Yun.
Seeing Kobe and Zhao Yun talking, they all stopped and came up to greet Zhao Yun when they knew it was the real Zhao Yun. Since Bolt retired, Zhao Yun is now a leader in the track and field world, and everyone wants to meet him.
Because the NBA has the Flower Planting Trip event every year, they will inevitably go to the Flower Planting Trip in the future. With Zhao Yun at the Flower Planting Trip, it won't be so boring when they go to the Flower Planting Trip with Zhao Yun by their side.
Kobe introduced these people to Zhao Yun one by one:
Russell, Clarkson, Randle, Kuzma, Ingram, Larry Nance, and Hart are all high-ranking players selected by the Lakers in recent drafts, and they all have great potential.
Since they already knew each other, Kobe warmly invited Zhao Yun to find a seat and start chatting. The others were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere and continued to enjoy this wonderful time.
The two first discussed when Zhao Yun would be able to return to the court, and then talked enthusiastically about Kobe's last shocking and crazy performance in his career. During this time, they naturally mentioned Yao Riyue, who had just taken office as the chairman of the Basketball Association and was familiar with Kobe.
Zhao Yun didn't know much about basketball, he just heard some information from Liu Jinhui. In his opinion, the newly appointed Yao Riyue seemed likely to be the one who would be held responsible for the team's failure. Now that he happened to meet a basketball expert like Kobe, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to ask him what he thought about this matter.
So, Zhao Yun asked with a hint of expectation: "Kobe, in your opinion, is the men's basketball team of the Flower Planting Family expected to rise in the future?"
However, after hearing this question, Kobe suddenly fell silent.
After a moment, he laughed and responded, "Hey, friend, how long are you going to stay here? The day after tomorrow, our Lakers will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers at home, and James will also come to Europe. Are you interested in going to watch the game?"
Zhao Yun muttered to himself, wondering what was wrong with this guy Kobe, as he didn't even directly answer the question he asked.
But he continued along with Kobe's words: "Wow, that's great! To be honest, I really want to watch this game, but unfortunately I don't have any tickets!"
Seeing this, Kobe curled his lips in disapproval and said generously, "Hey, a ticket is not a big deal! Not to mention the Lakers tickets, even if it's hard to get tickets for other teams, it's not a problem for me! Tell me, how many tickets do you need?"
Zhao Yun thought about it in his mind and said, "Well... How about this, you give me five tickets first. By the way, how much do they cost?"
When the other party heard this, his eyes widened and he raised his voice and shouted, "What? Money? Hey, brother, you are too polite! How can you ask me for money? This is my territory, my home court! You come here to get a few tickets from me and you have to pay? That's a slap in my face! Don't talk about such vulgar things as money. Tell me your room number quickly, and I'll have someone send it to you early tomorrow morning!"
The two chatted for a long time. When they finally parted, Kobe said that after the game the day after tomorrow, he would invite James to have dinner with his family. Zhao Yun nodded in agreement.
After returning to the room and looking at the changed bed sheets and quilt covers, Zhao Yun lay down and fell asleep.
