Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 194 What's wrong with Maddie

Ling Yu was startled immediately, but he calmed down again, and turned around to look at West with a smile on his face, as if he understood something.

"I told McGrady not to answer your call." West said with a smile: "We want to give you a surprise, so we can only do that."

"Surprise me?" Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, what's the matter, why is there a surprise?Is there any surprise for me, and I didn't do anything.

"It's all thanks to you that we can choose McGrady so smoothly." West smiled softly, seeing Ling Yu's confused look, West felt that it would be better to make it clear, and there was nothing to hide .

"It doesn't seem to be my business." Ling Yu suddenly felt flattered, what he did there, he just said something, and did nothing else.

However, since West's determination is due to Ling Yu, he will stick to it to the end, no matter what Ling Yu said, he just pushed Ling Yu to the table and said very politely: "Bryant, don't worry about it." Resigned, sit down, these are all prepared for you." West smiled and pointed to the sumptuous meals and drinks on the table.

Isn't this rushing ducks to the shelves?Ling Yu is now in a dilemma. What's the matter? I feel that I don't get paid for nothing. However, West is the manager of the Lakers. If I insist on resigning, isn't that just not giving him face?Will there still be good fruits of my own to eat in the future?But, just take it for granted?
After thinking about it again and again, Ling Yu chose to accept it. Although he was a little embarrassed, since everyone had no objections, there was no need for him to struggle.

"Okay." Ling Yu shouted: "That's my credit. However, the biggest thing this year is the selection of McGrady. We should celebrate his arrival." Ling Yu didn't wait for others to say What, picked up the wine on the table, filled two glasses, reached out and handed a glass to McGrady, took a glass by himself, and said lightly: "McGrady, welcome to the Lakers. For our future fight together, do .”

"Dry!"

Mai Di gave a youthful smile, took the wine Ling Yu handed over, and gulped it down.Naturally, Ling Yu was not to be outdone, and he did it in one gulp.

West and Del looked at each other, smiled slightly, and sat down.

This night, a happy night.

When the wine was full of joy, everyone left the restaurant and rushed to the previously booked hotel.When he arrived at the hotel, Ling Yu simply washed up and went to bed.

The next day, before Ling Yu got up, someone knocked on his door, which made him so angry that he wished he could go up and slap him twice.Sleeping early in the morning is the most tangled time and also the most drowsy time. At this time, someone comes to disturb inappropriately, disturbing people's clear dreams, which is the rhythm of courting death.

"Who is it?" Ling Yu frowned, shouted angrily, got up slowly, put on his pajamas, and walked towards the door.

"Bryant, it's me, McGrady." McGrady said softly.

Maddie?Why are you looking for yourself so early?Ling Yu was a little confused, and the anger just now was gone, and he called softly: "Maddy, why is it so early?" He opened the door while talking.

"Bryant, I have something to ask you." McGrady rushed in without waiting for Ling Yu to say anything.

Are you in a hurry? Is 2012 a success?
Ling Yu looked at McGrady in confusion, and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Ling Yu has long regarded Mai Di as a friend, and Ling Yu naturally went through fire and water when his friend begged him.Therefore, subconsciously, as long as he can do it, Ling Yu will do it without hesitation.

"Bryant, how did you sign the contract last year?" McGrady looked at Ling Yu anxiously, as if he had encountered something difficult.

Ling Yu really wanted to answer, but he didn't know how to answer.Last year, Kobe was under the age of 18, so, in Joe.Accompanied by Bryant, Ling Yu signed a contract with the Lakers. Later, when the season started, Ling Yu was 18 years old, and the Lakers re-signed a one-point agreement, as well as a contract.

Ling Yu doesn't know whether McGrady is 18 years old now. In his memory, McGrady participated in the draft as a high school student. However, this does not mean whether he is 18 years old or not, and Ling Yu has indeed forgotten.

"Maddy, are you 18 years old now?" Ling Yu asked softly.However, he was a little confused and full of dissatisfaction. He didn't care what he did, and if he didn't meet the signing requirements, the team would say, and then just do as required.However, since McGrady has already asked, I should say it myself.

"It's full." Maddy said seriously.

"It's nothing when it's full." Ling Yu smiled lightly: "In this case, you can pay for the contract yourself."

Only then did Ling Yu remember that McGrady seemed to be born in 1979, so he is already 18 years old now. If he signs a contract as an adult, McGrady will save the step of finding his father or mother.

"Then is there anything else?" McGrady was still a little worried. He hadn't signed any contract yet, so he still had concerns.

"It's basically nothing, just go to get a card, and then, nothing will happen." Ling Yu told McGrady according to the steps when he signed the contract before, except for these, Ling Yu didn't understand.

"And then it's gone?" McGrady seemed a little unconvinced that signing a contract was as simple as that?
Ling Yu was speechless for a moment, he was all selected, and he was still worried about this. Compared with the draft, these are irrelevant matters.

"No more." Ling Yu nodded. Now, Ling Yu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Why are you so anxious about signing the contract?"

McGrady smiled awkwardly, as if he was embarrassed to say something.

"Forget it." Ling Yu looked at Maddy pretending to be bored, and said, "It's so early, have you had breakfast?"

"No." McGrady rubbed his head and said, "I'm only thinking about these things, why are I thinking about breakfast?"

Ling Yu suddenly fainted, this guy is so obsessed with the contract, is he overexcited?Still sick?
Ling Yu shook his head helplessly, and said, "Wait for me." After speaking, Ling Yu slipped into the bathroom.
At this moment, West answered a phone call, ran over to say hello to Ling Yu and the others, and left in a hurry, and Del followed him out.

"McGrady, let's go." Ling Yu was very relaxed. West and Del were by his side, but he felt a little uncomfortable. They are always elders, and they have to think twice about their words and deeds.It's all right now, they're all gone, only the two yellow-haired boys Ling Yu and Mai Di are left, and those uncomfortable feelings are gone.

"Let's go." McGrady chuckled and followed Ling Yu out.

Ling Yu and Mai Di didn't go anywhere. They were still not very familiar with New York, so they just walked around a couple of times and found a random restaurant to fill their stomachs.

"Maddy, do you have any idea of ​​playing streetball?" Ling Yu winked at Maddy.

"New York Streetball?" McGrady looked at Ling Yu speculatively. In fact, McGrady had heard about New York Streetball for a long time, and wanted to go to compete for a long time, but he never had the chance.

"Do you want to go?" McGrady smirked, if he went now, he would have no objection.

"What do you think?" Ling Yu smiled slightly, took out the phone, searched for a long time, found a number that hadn't been called for a long time, and pressed it lightly.

"Hey, Justin, hello, I'm Bryant, I haven't contacted you for a long time, how are you doing?" Ling Yu said politely.

Justin and Ling Yu even forgot how long it was since they hadn't contacted him, and it seemed centuries had passed since the last contact.

"Bryant?" Justin shouted in surprise, as if he never thought that Ling Yu would call him, and suddenly felt flattered.

"Still the same, how about you?" Justin didn't know what to say, whether he was too excited or something.

"Recently!" Ling Yu deliberately elongated his tone. He didn't want to chat here for so long, so he paused and said, "Recently, I really want to play a game of street basketball. How about it? Are your gang still there?"

Ling Yu knew that although he had found Justin, he was not sure that there would be a ball game, because Justin also had his own dream, which was to enter the NBA. Therefore, for his own dream, he could not always play streetball. I know very well that in order to gain a foothold in the NBA, streetball skills alone are not enough. Therefore, Justin will also go to the ballroom and train.Because of this, the people who played streetball with him before may have long since disappeared.

"You want to play streetball?" Justin was a little surprised, and said slowly, "I just happen to be playing another game, why don't you come over here."

"Okay, where is it? Let's go there now." Ling Yu was very excited, it was cool now, and he could see what McGrady would do against the players on the street.

Justin reported a familiar place name to Ling Yu, and after writing it down, Ling Yu hung up the phone, looked at Maddie triumphantly, and said, "It's done."

"So fast?" Mai Di looked at Ling Yu in disbelief. Does this guy know anyone here?Found someone soon?
"Don't worry about it, just follow me." Ling Yu didn't bother to explain how he met Justin. This matter happened last year. Speaking of it, it seems that it can't be finished in a short while.

Ling Yu is happy now, McGrady, when he was in the NBA, was an all-powerful guy, and he regarded defense like air.However, I still don't know how he will take the lead against the players on the street, and will he score so easily?

"Haha." Ling Yu laughed loudly, he saw the scene where McGrady was beaten up by a street player.

"Bryant, what are you laughing at?" McGrady looked at Ling Yu in confusion. This guy was fine just now, why is he like this now?Could it be that he was so excited at the thought of playing streetball?But, isn't this guy still recovering from his foot injury?Why do you still want to fight?Can't figure it out!
"It's nothing." Ling Yu hurriedly stopped laughing, turned to a chuckle, and said, "Let's go, don't make them wait."
