On February 2, the Lakers played against the Hornets at home. The players in the locker room felt a little incredible. Kobe actually chatted with Guo Xu as soon as he entered the house, talking and laughing for half an hour.

This is Kobe that they never expected. He was murderous on the court and was stubborn and wanted to fight nine to be enemies with everyone, but when he chatted with Guo Xu, he was like hugging the whole world with relaxation and smile.

Guo Xu never expected... he suspected that Kobe suddenly became closer because he called Meghan and Kobe and Vanessa for lunch the day before yesterday.

Vanessa and Megan chatted for half an hour and almost became sisters. They both have similar skin colors and heights. They are both Taurus born in May. But in terms of image, Vanessa is more plump.

When Kobe heard that Meghan was only 15 years old in May this year, he smiled like an emoticon with a knife and fork, and asked Guo Xu to take Meghan to his house to play when he had time, hoping that his parents would see him.

This guy thought he had finally found a fellow man who was rolling the bed sheets with minors. Megan and Vanessa were in a very similar situation and his family was not rich. His parents hoped that he would find an African American, and now he could slap his parents in the face of their aesthetics.

Guo Xu completely couldn't understand what Kobe's parents were thinking. Can you use heart-shaped grass to strengthen Kobe? Or can you sit in a flying saucer to play? What is the meaning of this?

Now, Guo Xu discovered the other side of Kobe. He was also childish, and he was not less than O'Neal. However, O'Pang was happier, and Kobe was a naughty child.

He had read many news in his previous life and thought Kobe would be a person who could not get along with. After the Eagle County incident, he was once demonized by the media. After joining the Lakers, he found that Kobe had little communication with his teammates, and he felt that this person was withdrawn and arrogant.

However, as Kobe's middle school friend said, he was two people before and after the Eagle County incident, and Kobe is easy to communicate now. In 2003, Kobe, who was only 25 years old, suffered too much damage. He lost all his endorsement contracts, and every marketer said, "You can't save it."

Kobe survived tenaciously. The saying "being enemies with the world" sounded cool, but in fact Kobe had no choice. At that time, no one supported him except his wife.

Kobe can open up now, especially when Guo Xu knows some of his secrets, he doesn't pretend to be cool. Some of the words were actually spoken by Guo Xu. They spent too long together in the time loop, and Guo Xu found out what Kobe likes to listen to and what he is willing to share with others.

When Guo Xu thought about the problem from a different perspective, he felt that his teammates were a little harsh on Kobe.

The overall atmosphere of the Lakers is relaxed, and then I don’t know when it starts. For many people around me, introversion is wrong. I always want to get rid of what Kobe calls “introversion” and even “introversion problems”, just like there are only extroverts in the world, and there should not be introverts.

Over time, they felt that the introvert Kobe was terrible and too lazy to pay attention to him because it was hard to imagine what he was thinking in his heart, so be careful when making friends with him. In fact, Kobe never did anything bad in the Lakers. He just didn't like to talk. The worst thing he did was that when he was in a certain game, he couldn't control his hands, and he threw it all over and made a blacksmith.

O'Neal, Kobe, and Guo Xu's wardrobe were leaning on. As he chatted, O'Neal got involved. "Can you speak louder? What are you talking about so much?"

"Kobe, this is up to you, be bolder." Guo Xu patted Kobe on the back and encouraged him.

During dinner that day, Guo Xu suggested that Kobe invite all his teammates to the wedding on April 18, just like having a party before the playoffs.

Of course Kobe doesn't want to do this. He is not familiar with many people on the team, especially those fringe newcomers who have never spoken and do not recognize the other party's strength.

Guo Xu changed his mind after a few words. "If you invite everyone to the wedding, it is wrong for them to come. If we come, we will be more united in the playoffs. Everyone will bless you and support you in marrying Vanessa. This does not require any brains, but will also make your parents believe that you are mature and can make the right decisions, so that your teammates will support you."

In his previous life, Kobe did not invite his teammates. Apart from Vanessa's family, the only friend who attended the wedding turned out to be his bodyguard.

He was too cautious and did not trust his teammates, nor did he try to understand him and suggested that he do these things. Only Guo Xu knew what Kobe could listen to and what he couldn't listen to, and his suggestions were feasible.

Kobe was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, walked to the middle of the locker room, and shouted: "Everyone, I have booked a wedding after the regular season ends on April 18. I'm sorry, I didn't notify everyone when I got engaged, because I didn't hold a wedding banquet last time, just a proposal... This time, I hope everyone can come to participate, thank you."

"Okay, no problem, I will definitely go." Brian Shaw answered.

Next were veterans such as Hores Grant, Fox, Horry, and Kobe who had worked with Kobe for many seasons. Guo Xu quietly patted O'Neal on the thigh, and O'Neal immediately expressed his opinion that he would go.

Kobe was a little worried that his teammates would say they were not familiar with him and were unwilling to participate, but the result was completely different from what he imagined. Soon everyone said they were willing to participate, including Ryan Bowen, who had just arrived in the trade and was flattered.

Veterans will not say "no" when they are invited to the wedding. Even if they say it, they will find a suitable reason to explain why they can't go that day. And the young Lakers players are all following the crowd. How dare they not go if the second in charge of the team is invited?

Kobe's mentality quickly changed from worry to joy, and remembered what Guo Xu said. "You think things too complicated. As long as you take the initiative to invite them, no one will hate you. It's so easy for everyone to have a meal together."

Some truths are very simple. Even if Guo Xu doesn’t say it, Kobe will understand in the future. This is a process of growth.

When Kobe became the boss of the Lakers, he often invited his teammates to dinner. The Lakers later won two championships, and Kobe would also give his teammates valuable gifts, but at that time he was 30 years old and some lost things would not come back.

Guo Xu advanced this process a few years ago, awakening Kobe to a simple task.

In his previous life, there was a very popular TV series called "Soldier Assault". Many people liked the protagonist Xu Sanduo after watching it and despised the second male lead Chengcai. In fact, from another perspective, it was very unfair. Chengcai first entered the military camp, just like Xu Sanduo, was an 18-year-old young man. How high can his emotional intelligence be? It is normal to do something wrong.

Many supporting roles were all willing to help Xu Sanduo, but none of them took the initiative to stand up and guide Chengcai, telling him what to do and what not to do. In fact, as long as you point out some things, you can figure it out selfishly.

The young Kobe is such a person who can be saved. If he waits until he is 30 years old, he will understand everything by himself and all kinds of habits have been developed.

After a while, the players appeared on time and the game began.

Kobe was very excited to play against Byron Davis, and his hands were hot. Guo Xu and O'Neal all consciously passed more balls for him.

In the end, Kobe played for 38 minutes, made 15 of 30 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 14 of 14 free throws, and scored 44 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks. When he was in a good mood, he seemed to jump higher and faster, and the gods came to earth.
