Chapter 120 119. Team Gathering (First update, please subscribe)
After ending the three-game streak, the Lakers once again got three days of rest.

As usual, D'Antoni gave the whole team a day off. On this day, all the Lakers, including Kobe, gathered at Tang De's home.

Early in the morning, Kobe drove to Tang De's house with his family and his family. Even Kobe was the first person to arrive at the party. This person really...has a strong sense of time.

"Hey, boss, sister-in-law, have you brought the things I asked you to bring?" Tang De asked immediately when he saw the Kobe family appearing in his field of vision.

Kobe: "Of course, everything you want is here. Vanessa has prepared all the ingredients you want, and they are all in the car. Let me go and get them."

"That's fine, Vanessa, you guys go to rest first, I'll go pick it up with Chatter."

Soon, various ingredients were transported to the kitchen by Kobe and Tang De little by little, and then Tang De started to get busy.

"Hey, Don, can I help you?" Bryant asked.

"Farewell, boss, besides, are you sure you can cook? And it's Chinese food!" Tang De teased.

"Uh...uh, well, I really don't know how to do it. I can only cook Western food. I can only eat Chinese food, but I can't cook it, haha~haha."

Tang De: "You'd better go and accompany Vanessa and your children, and leave this to me. You are the boss on the court, but here I am the boss, haha!"

Kobe: "Come on Don, the game you guys played against the Thunder really shocked me. I really regret that I didn't go to the scene with the team. Is your stats what people should have? Labor and management played almost 20 I haven’t gotten that kind of data in the past year!”

Tang De: "It can only be said that those guys feel so good, that's why I was able to get so many assists. In the last game against the Grizzlies, I couldn't play with all the irons, so my style of play is still a bit annoying to my teammates. ah!"

Kobe: "I heard that D'Antoni is going to strictly make the whole team practice shooting more?"

Tang De: "Yes, the current stability of the team is too poor, and it will suffer too much if it continues like this, so I discussed it with Comrade Lao De, and he also supported my point of view!"

Kobe: "It's a good thing, I have been shooting consecutively. They always say that I have three irons, labor and capital..."

Tang De: "Hahaha, boss, who can you blame? You dare to shoot against three defenders every day. It's your fault if you're not strong. But then again, your entire career has been pretty accurate." !"

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll go see Vanessa and the others."

……

Around ten o'clock in the morning, everyone arrived.

After Baibian and Nick Young greeted Kobe, they rushed into the kitchen immediately.

Baibian: "Bro, how is my Yangzhou fried rice prepared? It makes me hungry!"

Nick Young: "Yes, yes, and my lion head."

"Nick, you look like that on stage, and you still have the nerve to ask for a lion's head? Tell you, there's no way!" Tang De deliberately teased.

Nick Young: "Don't, bro, I don't want to hit iron, and I can't control it. I'll go back to practice later, okay, crazy practice!"

Tang De: "Just kidding, I prepared it for you a long time ago, isn't that what it is, and let me tell you two, today there are many more delicious things than lion head and Yangzhou fried rice! You two go out first, wait When it’s done, I’ll let you know that dinner is ready!”

Nick Young: "Got it!"

Baibian: "Slip away."

……

The dinner party lasted until after two o'clock in the afternoon. The athletes' food intake was bigger than the other. Tang De made a total of more than 20 dishes with large and small dishes, but none of them were eaten...

Especially those two guys Nick Young and Whiteside, it's like they haven't eaten in 800 years.

After the dinner party, everyone had another karaoke contest at Tang De's house, and it was a joy to play.

But for the singing skill, everyone present except Tang De possessed it, and only Kobe possessed it.

Just kidding that Kobe is not only good on the court, he is an all-around player, and he is also a person who has released a solo music album. Although Kobe's rap is just like that, compared to other Lakers, he is not that strong A star and a half.

After eating, drinking, playing, and having fun, the next step is training.

Under Kobe's organization, everyone had an intra-team match in Tang De's basketball court.

For this training game, everyone is very enthusiastic, and they all want to practice with Kobe to see how far Kobe has recovered.

Generally speaking, the current team atmosphere of the Lakers is not generally good. Although the Lakers have lost 7 of the last 2 games, this also leads to their current record of 14 wins and 10 losses ranked 8th in the Western Conference. It is only one game away from the Grizzlies ranked 7th in the West, and 6 games away from the Warriors ranked 2th in the West.

But this has not affected the team's confidence at all, because it has been proved that they can win the first-class teams. The reason why they are ranked 8th in the Western Conference is more or less due to the tight schedule.

Another one is that the competitiveness of the West is too great. There is only one win between the 6th, 7th, and 8th places in the West, which means that the Lakers have a chance to reach the top 6 in the West at any time!

This is already a very good result for the Lakers. You must know that before the start of this season, no one was optimistic about the Lakers without Kobe. Even ESPN ranked the Lakers 21st in the league. The Lakers without Kobe in it are a completely fishy team.

……

……

Tang De: "God, boss, I think you can come back in this state at any time! It seems that your leg strength has recovered well, and it's not because of the uneven strength of the two legs!"

Seeing Kobe's state, Tang De was really taken aback. Wasn't that why he persuaded Kobe not to come back in a hurry?

It's an exaggeration to say that now Tang De even wants to urge Kobe to come back quickly!

Kobe: "Don't mention it, you don't know how much energy I spent recovering from this injury, shit, the Achilles tendon problem is really the most serious injury in the world!"

Nick Young: "Bro, for others, for you, we have always believed that you can make a comeback, so when do you plan to come back?"

Baibian: "Yes, boss, how long will it take for you to come back?"

Kobe: "Haha, let Don tell you this, I have already told him in detail."

At the end of the training match, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone had a brief chat about when Kobe would come back, and then they went back to their homes and went to their mothers.

Of course, Nick Young and Bai Bian did not go back, because they have moved to live with Tang De...
