Kobe and Odom were the other two guests invited by Chris Bell. They did not bring gifts. They themselves were the best gifts.
The two were wearing sportswear, which was specially made. The outside of the trousers was glued together and could be taken off by tearing it apart. It was very convenient to not have to take off the trousers.
Bell called the two basketball teams together. Kobe and Odom joined separately. The two were very respectful to Bell, which showed how wide Bell's network was.
Considering that the slum basketball team played basketball when they had nothing to do, and they did not work or go to school, basketball was almost their only pleasure. Naturally, their skills were better.
In this way, the stronger Kobe Bryant joined the team of treasure hunters, and Odom joined the slum basketball team.
The news of the arrival of Kobe and Odom quickly spread throughout Salem Harbor. Many people outside entered the abandoned factory community just to see the superstars.
The bodyguards brought by the two were very professional. Their cars were equipped with detectors common in the subway. The bodyguards stood at the door with the detectors. As long as they carried weapons, they would be found out and turned away.
Although these street people were unruly, they admired sports stars such as Kobe.
Therefore, when they entered the factory, they would first take out their weapons.
Soon, there were many knives, daggers, baseball bats, and chains on both sides of the factory gate, like a gang meeting.
Kobe looked aloof, and the media portrayed him as a cold paranoid. In fact, Li Du chatted with him for a while and found that he was very easy-going.
A dense crowd surrounded the stadium, and many children tried to squeeze in.
With so many people jostling and bumping into each other, it was easy for conflicts to break out. Bell brought the treasure hunters and the people from the factory community to maintain law and order at the scene.
Li Du and his party were very excited to see Kobe join the team. They naturally regarded him as the core of the team, chatting with him and asking him about tactics.
"Play like an all-star," Kobe laughed. "There's no need for any tactics, guys. Just play and have fun. But in the last ten minutes, you have to leave the game to me. "
"You want to win, right?" asked a treasure hunter named Kerry.
Kobe was still smiling, but his smile was more serious. "As long as I stand on the court, I want to win, because someone will always win, so why not me?"
At this moment, Li Du saw the Black Mamba in the media's propaganda. He was cold, determined, aggressive, and had a strong desire to win.
Odom was also a star, but he was not as good as Kobe. He had just left the Lakers. When he was in the Lakers, he was Kobe's underling.
Conrad was naturally unhappy. He wanted to be on the same team as Kobe, not with a second-tier star who was about to retire.
He went to find Bell and said, "Hey, Chris, I used to be on the Kobe team, right? I want to go back. Can you transfer me back? "
Bell said, "Conrad, I told you, you'll regret that decision. We're all adults. We've made a decision. Don't change it. Don't let others look down on you. "
Conrad stomped his feet in dissatisfaction. He went to look for other treasure hunters to swap lineups, but who would give up the chance to play with Kobe?
For the treasure hunters, playing a game with Kobe was worth bragging about for ten years!
He had no choice but to find Li Du. He tried to smile and said, "Li, what I said just now was too harsh. Can you forgive me?"
Li Du knew what he was trying to say, but he deliberately wanted to tease him. He said, "Of course, why would I lower myself to the level of a child?"
Conrad's lungs did not explode with anger. However, he needed Li Du's help and could not get angry. He continued to smile and said, "Then can you help me? You're a Chinese. You don't know how important Kobe is to us American fans. Can we change teams? "
Li Du said seriously, "Sorry, no. I have to respect Kobe's choice. Kobe just said he wants to be my teammate."
Conrad said unhappily, "That's impossible. Li, help me. I can let bygones be bygones …"
Hearing this, Li Du did not even have the mood to tease him. He sneered and said, "You can let bygones be bygones, but I can't."
Conrad was furious and said, "You really don't want to change?"
Li Du shrugged and said, "Unless you're dreaming."
Conrad gritted his teeth and said, "Well, then wait and see. Wait for me to beat you up and make you lose face!"
As the referee entered the court, the game was about to begin.
Kobe and Odom, who were the tallest, went up for the jump ball.
In contrast, Odom had no fighting spirit. He was purely there to play. After the ball was thrown, he just tiptoed and did not even fight for it.
Kobe jumped up and slapped the ball back, which fell right into Li Du's hands.
Immediately, Conrad rushed over and opened his arms to block Li Du's position. He used his excellent lateral movement to stop Li Du.
Seeing this, Li Du did not fight with him. Although he did not have a good relationship with Conrad, he had to admit that this guy was definitely better at basketball than him.
He passed the ball to a teammate. At this time, Kobe was already under the basket. Seeing this, the teammate hurriedly threw the ball under the basket. Kobe jumped in the air, grabbed the ball with one hand, and smashed it into the hoop. It was a quick alley-oop.
"Cool, Kobe!"
"Hooray for Kobe!"
"The Black Mamba is invincible!"
The slum team began to attack. Conrad wanted to take the ball. He skillfully dribbled the ball to the front court, and then his teammates came up to help.
Seeing this, he waved his hand and said, "You guys pull away. I'll play one-on-one with the China guy. See how I play him."
Li Du smiled playfully and opened his arms to defend.
Conrad was good with the ball. The ball seemed to stick to his hands. As his body shook, the ball bounced back and forth between his legs, behind him, and between his hands like a butterfly.
As his body shook, Li Du swayed with him to defend and was inevitably shaken off.
Seizing this opportunity, Conrad raised his elbow and hit him in the lower abdomen. With this force, he rushed forward.
Li Du was in pain and then angry. Since the opponent was playing dirty, he did not need to be polite.
Summoning the little bug, he used the Time Deceleration skill. Conrad had just passed in front of him, so he quickly reached out from behind and easily took out the ball!
Kobe happened to be in front, and the ball almost fell into his hands. He passed it to his teammate, and the treasure hunters scored another point.
Being intercepted by Li Du, Conrad felt humiliated. He continued to ask for a one-on-one, and said confidently, "I didn't get used to this ball just now. Let me do it this time …"
He wanted to attack Li Du with a surprise attack. Halfway through his sentence, he broke through.
Li Du moved horizontally to catch up, quickly reached out, and once again intercepted the ball in his hand!
