NBA Tyrant

Orlando, Barzelock's fine dining restaurant

, Howard was in a private room, rubbing his five fingers against each other, sitting in his position looking east and west, his legs dangling, and Howard felt more nervous than he was on a date with a girl.

"I don't know what kind of food this restaurant makes, I just searched on the Internet, and the evaluation is very good, I hope Kobe and Pelinka will like it!" took

out his mobile phone and looked at it, there were still 10 minutes before the scheduled time, just Pelinka said that he had taken a car from the hotel, and he thought it should be almost there!

Just thinking about it, the door of the private room was opened.

"Hey, Howard!" Pelinka walked in first.

Immediately afterwards, a figure wearing a beige sweatshirt and nearly 2 meters tall also walked in.

Howard quickly stood up.

"Hi Pelinka, hello! Kobe!" said a brief hello to Pelinka, and Howard politely greeted Kobe Bryant behind Pelinka.

"Haha, hello, Howard! Thank you very much for the invitation! I heard that the food in this restaurant is very good!" For the respect in Howard's

words, Kobe Bryant didn't know why, but he enjoyed it.

"Come on, let's sit down and talk while we eat!" Pelinka motioned to sit down.

In the private room, as the dishes came up one after another, the three of them also got acquainted with each other and chatted a little.

"Howard, what do you think the championship team should be?" Kobe Bryant picked up the juice and took a sip to hear Howard's thoughts on the championship team's roster.

"Championship, I haven't even tasted the championship yet! It's too far away from me at the moment, but I've heard a sentence," Howard frowned and thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Offense, you can win the game, defense wins the championship!" "That's a

good point!" Howard, do you think you have the strength to play in the playoffs or even the finals on the Magic team now?" Kobe Bryant smiled faintly and looked directly at Howard.

This kid really doesn't tell the truth, and it's really not cute to perfunctory himself with this common sentence of the alliance.

"Hmm... I think now that I have my Magic team, I'm strong enough to make the playoffs, and as for how far I can go, it's time to see how it happens. Howard

didn't want to analyze the current situation of the Magic team in front of Kobe, so Howard didn't say whether the team was good or bad, but Howard felt strange.

Why did Kobe Bryant ask me this question, do you think the Magic would be a strong contender for the championship, or would you give me any advice?

"Hehe, don't worry, Howard, I'm not asking you about your team, I'm just wondering what you want to do with the roster before you feel qualified to compete for a championship."

Kobe Bryant looked at Howard amusefully, who was on his guard.

I don't care about the Magic team's lineup at all, and my own Lakers team can't worry about it!"

I think the championship lineup, on the offensive end, must have at least 2 offensive strong points, one inside and one outside, I think it is the best, in the game, usually to contain the opponent's defense, when it is critical, to tear the opponent's defense, on the defensive end, at least there must be a defensive core, and around this core to establish a complete defensive system, well... Thinking so much for now.

After Howard finished speaking, he waited for Kobe's evaluation, and his mind was recalling.

From the Purple and Gold Dynasty, the Spurs won the championship, to the Heat Big Three, and then to the Warriors winning the championship, they all seem to be in line with the lineup situation they said, well, it seems that what they said is quite right.

"That makes sense, but one thing must be the most important!" Kobe

Bryant looked at Howard seriously.

"There can only be one boss on the team!!

Howard frowned tightly and recalled, it seems that no matter which team wins the championship, even if there is more than one historical star in the team, there will always be only one absolute core as the boss.

Well, the boss is right.

Howard nodded in agreement.

"By the way, you said in the morning that you had an idea and wanted to talk to the two of us, what is it?"

Although Kobe Bryant really wanted to cooperate with Howard and win the championship together, it was obvious that it was impossible for the Magic team to let Howard go now, so he simply changed the subject.

"Oh, yes, that's right, Pelinka is an agent for the two of us, but Pelinka is basically operating on your side, of course, I'm not blaming Pelinka for you, you're a conscientious agent," Howard turned to comfort Pelinka and gestured that he had something to say.

"So, I want to simply set up a brokerage company, or, a business management company, which is mainly responsible for investment, asset management, economic endorsement, etc., recruit professional people, and serve me and Kobe Bryant, and build a business team that belongs to me and Kobe, what do you think?" Kobe

held his chin and did not reply to Howard immediately, but seriously thought about Howard's words.

Pelinka was also frowning, thinking about the feasibility of Howard's words.

"Pelinka, what do you think?" Kobe Bryant seemed to have made up his mind, turning his head to look at Pelinka.

"Kobe, I think it's a good idea, so that we can also have enough people to share the responsibility for different sectors, as long as you and Howard have been in the alliance, this company will not fail, and even if it is operated well, it may be possible to build a business empire for the two of you!"

Pelinka had confidence and a hint of ambition in his eyes.

"Well, I'm optimistic about it too! Then leave it to Pelinka, you will take care of it!" Kobe Bryant nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll get Howard an assistant first, lest Howard later say I don't care about him, hahaha!" Pelinka laughed at herself.

"Hahaha, you really are!" Howard shook his head and was speechless, he really didn't blame Pelinka, but Pelinka himself cared about it, which showed that he was a responsible person.

"Come, let's go! Cheers to the company that's about to start!" Kobe Bryant held the juice in his hand.

"Cheers!" X2

and the last three of them ate and drank to their heart's content, and arrived at Amway Arena together in Howard's off-road vehicle.

As they parted, Howard stopped Bryant.

"Kobe, let's make a bet, how

?" "Oh, what bet?" Kobe Bryant looked at Howard in confusion.

"Divide into two, one for tonight's game, in terms of personal performance, especially the score, which one is higher, even if whoever wins! Lose, after the game, take off the jersey on the spot, and write the time on the jersey and who I lost to, and finally sign and take a photo!"

Seeing Kobe nodded, Howard then stretched out his second finger.

"The second bet, tonight's game, whoever loses, will never be allowed to take a helicopter in the future!

"Cut, what's not to dare, you lose both bets!" Kobe Bryant replied with a disdainful expression.

"Why don't you let you take a helicopter, though?" said Bryant, looking at Howard strangely.

"Don't worry about this, just say if you dare to bet!" Howard

naturally can't say that you will have an accident with a helicopter in the future, so you can only use the agitation method to stimulate Kobe.

"Bet! What don't you dare!" Kobe Bryant didn't care, Kobe thought he wouldn't lose to Howard, a rookie, whether it was data or games.

"Haha, that's okay, then we'll see you in the game!" Howard saw that Kobe Bryant agreed, and happily waved Kobe Bryant's hand away.

Turning his head in an instant, Howard, who was originally smiling, instantly froze.

For Kobe's sake, I'm going to win!

......

Arriving in the locker room, Howard walked over to Francis, bowed his head and whispered something to Francis.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Francis nodded, indicating that he could not be reassured.

"By the way, Howard, I've figured it out, in these few games, I found that when I led the team, the team was basically behind, so that we, who had an advantage, were always pulled closer to the score or even behind. "

I don't think I'm really out of the game to be the core boss of the team, so don't talk just yet,"

Francis continued as he raised his hand to stop Howard from speaking.

"This is my sincere words, especially after leading the team to lose the game with the Wizards as the absolute core, I began to seriously reflect on myself

," "Although I recognized you as the only core of the team because of a bet with you before, I didn't agree with it at that time, but now, you have conquered me with your performance and personality charm, or conquered the whole team, and everyone is willing to do their best in the game around you!"

Therefore, in the future, I will integrate well into the team, move forward with you and everyone! Work hard for our farther goals!"

Francis looked at Howard with shining eyes, and said what he wanted to say after serious reflection in recent days, Francis now feels that it is a rare opportunity to be a good interior partner like Howard as a guard.

"Boss F. F. !" Howard gave Francis a powerful hug, all without saying a word.

Howard also felt that Francis was in the game, when he led the team alone, he always seemed to want to prove himself, and he didn't drive his teammates well, but now that I think about it, this is the reason, and now that it has been solved, I believe that the teammates will be more tacit in the future, and the team's record will be better.

......

The game was about to begin, and Howard hugged Kobe Bryant in the center circle.

"You're going to lose tonight, Kobe!"

Francis's heartfelt words made Howard feel confident and excited about the team's chemistry that might be there.

"Hehe! You're definitely the one who loses!" Kobe Bryant was not to be outdone.

The two separated, and the referee came to the center circle and signaled the center forwards of both sides to prepare to jump the ball.

Howard glanced at Francis behind him, and Francis nodded in response.

The Magic's starting lineup remains the same, the Lakers' starting lineup

: point guard: Chagi Atkins

Quarterback: Kobe Bryant

small forward: Caron Butler

big forward: Odom

center: Chris Mim

beep

! The referee throws the basketball high in the air!

Howard instantly bursts out with all his strength and shoots the basketball to his own half court before Mime.

After landing on the ground, Howard did not stop, ran quickly with both feet, and rushed straight to the opposite basket.

When Francis received the ball, he stood in place, his feet not moving, and the basketball in his hand was gone.

"Not good!"

Kobe Bryant thought of something, and turned his head to look at his own basket.

The

Lakers starters turned their heads in unison to look at the source of the sound.

I saw that Howard was already hanging on his basket, and the missing basketball was bounced on the floor at this time.

Howard fell to the ground, running back at a gallop, while looking at Kobe Bryant who was surprised in the middle circle, raised his right hand and slammed his chest, and pointed at Kobe Bryant with his left hand.

When the two of them staggered in the same line, they yelled and declared war:

"Kobe!it's for you!come on!"
