NBA: Fusion of Pangu makes Kobe Bryant cry with envy!

Chapter 67

The next morning, the Lakers boarded a plane to the next game venue, Salt Lake City.

Tonight, the Lakers will face their first away opponent of the new season, the Utah Jazz, in Salt Lake City!

On the plane, everyone was talking and laughing.

After all, the Jazz team has not been considered strong in the NBA in recent years. The team's star player is Gordon Hayward, whose athletic ability is not very outstanding.

""Coach, why are you worried about playing against the Jazz? We are going to win two games in a row."

Russell boasted to Byron Scott confidently.

Kobe, who was resting with his eyes closed, heard what he said.

Kobe took off his blindfold and gave Russell a look. Russell shrank his neck and sat back in his seat.

Even though Kobe is no longer at his peak, his deterrent power in the team is still there.

But Russell, who returned to his seat, was not idle. He turned around and asked Jeremy Lin beside him.

"Lin, is the Jazz okay?"

Jeremy Lin thought for a moment and shook his head.

"The strength is not good, but the young center in their team is quite interesting."

Hearing this, Russell became excited again.

"I know, it's Rudy Gobert, the French Iron Tower!"

At this moment, Kobe's cold voice came from behind Russell.

"D'Angelo, don't underestimate your opponent."

"Don't let me hear that a second time!"

The atmosphere on the plane suddenly became serious.

Russell also shrank his neck.

At this time, Kobe no longer wanted to continue resting. He looked at Su Pan not far away and sighed helplessly.

Byron Scola seemed to see Kobe's worries.

He talked about this with Kobe before the game.

The center of the Jazz, Rudy Gobert.

He has weak offensive ability, but top rim protection ability.

And he is likely to become the best defensive player in the future.

When this guy just entered the league, he could be said to be the last center player in the league.

But in the second half of the schedule, after the Jazz gradually promoted him to the starting lineup, Gobert began to continuously provide the team with outstanding performances on the defensive end.

Averaged 2.4 blocks and 9.8 rebounds per game.

If he hadn't been a substitute for half of the time last year, this guy's blocks would have likely exceeded 3. 0, and the rebounds can be in double digits.

The Lakers considered introducing Gobert during the offseason, otherwise we wouldn’t know this.

It’s just that Su Pan is a rookie.

In the first game, he played against the former DPOY, and in the second game, he played against the future DPOY.

For any rookie, this is a hell-level start.

This is not good for Su Pan’s development in the NBA.

However, since he wants to become a legend.

How can there be no difficulty on the road to legend!

And the most interesting thing is.

The Jazz actually joined the battle for Su Pan this summer. In order to get Su Pan, they also put Gobert on the shelf.

But the Jazz’s chips are really ugly, Rudy Gobert + Gordon Hayward.

The Timberwolves think that the talent ceiling of these two people is extremely low, so they never paid attention to this deal.

In other words, Rudy Gobert was once an accessory of Su Pan.

……

When we were about to get off the plane, we heard Russell still talking nonsense in the cabin.

"Rudy Gobert is about to meet Wilt Chamberlain!"

His teammates laughed.

Russell was about to continue talking when he suddenly realized that his teammates looked very serious.

He turned around and saw Kobe standing behind him after coming back from the toilet.

Under Kobe's gaze, Russell once again returned to his seat obediently.

When Byron Scott, who was not far away, saw this, he also sighed.

"Kids nowadays, eh……"

He also saw that Russell was obviously floating after winning a game.

But for a first-year rookie who is very new to everything in the NBA, this is normal.

……

After coming back, Kobe sat next to Su Pan.

"Su, Rudy Gobert is known as the Iron Tower of France, and his defense is better than Tyson's."

When everyone started to busy themselves, Kobe lowered his voice to remind Su Pan

"But I have discussed with Byron and will give you more opportunities to play against him."

"If you want to become a superstar, you need to have experience in top defense."

"The nickname of the French Iron Tower is indeed interesting."

Su Pan also smiled slightly when he heard Kobe's words.

"But don’t forget, I am still Pangu of the Celestial Empire!"

"……"

Kobe was slightly startled, but just smiled and said nothing.

Russell, who was standing by, couldn't help but curl his lips after seeing Kobe's reaction.

Why don't you say anything about Su Pan pretending to be cool... double standards!

On the other side, the Salt Lake City Jazz.

Gobert hastily responded to the team manager's call to notify the game.

Now, he is full of resentment towards the team.

Because he actually knows that the Jazz used him as a bargaining chip in the exchange this summer.

&#"I've only played in the league for two years, and you want to put me on the shelf?!"

Just after the game last year, the Jazz promised him that they would train him to become an All-Star.

But in the offseason, he traded for Su Pan.

After perfunctorily dealing with his manager, Rudy Gobert hung up the phone. He looked at the notice of tomorrow's game with cold eyes.

He was determined. He wanted to make Su Pan look good in the next game.

He must let Su Pan know what the strongest inside defensive player in the new era is!

And because of this.

The Jazz, who originally had less attention in the league, actually got the best time slot tomorrow and was broadcast live across the United States.

The clash between Gobert and Su Pan also attracted the attention of many fans.

The NBA will not let go of this hot spot.

…………

On the other side.

After a bumpy ride, the Lakers landed at the Salt Lake City Airport.

As soon as Su Pan got off the plane, something unexpected happened to him.

In the airport lobby, he saw a woman with wavy blonde hair and sunglasses. She was slender and wore a black knitted tight skirt, long boots and black stockings, showing off her perfect figure to the fullest.

Anne Hathaway!

Su Pan recognized her at first sight!

"Who are you waiting for here?"

"What do you think?"

Anne Hathaway rolled her eyes at him:"If I'm not waiting for you, then I'm waiting for D'Angelo Russell?"

Russell's expression froze:"What the hell?……"

Suddenly I felt so embarrassed.

Kobe didn't give me face on the plane, and the goddess didn't give me face after I got off the plane.

I am the second pick after all, why am I so embarrassed?

The Lakers teammates around Su Pan also cast envious and jealous eyes at this moment.

"Brother, kill me and help Su Pan."

"Can you add me? I'm a single guy.……"

" Anne Hathaway Oh my god! Oh my god, Su Pan, please step more gently at night"

"The first-year rookie is already playing the star……"

Su Pan felt the sharp gazes from all around him, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Kobe, who had just walked out of the terminal hall, also frowned when he saw this scene.

"I've been playing in Los Angeles for almost 20 years and I haven't seen Anne Hathaway come to see me play, and she was staying at the airport."

Russell next to him whispered,"If you hadn't married Vanessa, you would have definitely seen her."

Kobe suddenly realized.

Soon.

After Su Pan and Anne Hathaway finished chatting, they boarded the team bus and headed to the hotel.

It turned out that Hathaway happened to have some commercial work in Salt Lake City, and took time to come and watch a Su Pan game.

In other words.

Tonight, Hathaway will come to the game to watch Su Pan.

Su Pan, who was sitting on the bus, couldn't help but snap his fingers, making a snapping sound.

A beautiful woman watching the game, you can't let her down

……

Soon, the game between Jazz and Lakers is coming as scheduled!
