Chapter 251 Four a.m. in Los Angeles

After the game, the streetball players could only shake their heads helplessly.

It wasn't that they didn't play well, but the gap was too big. They really couldn't win.

When the game ended, Kobe took off his makeup on the spot.

When Kobe's face appeared, the whole court went crazy.

"Kobe! Kobe Bryant!"

"God!"

"It's really Kobe! Kobe is right in front of me!"

…

Kobe's popularity in Los Angeles was definitely not just for show.

The entire streetball court was completely out of control.

The homeless man cried directly, feeling blessed by God at this moment.

The shouts of "Godfather" and "Kobe" echoed over the streetball court tonight.

This was definitely the most epic episode the Godfather had ever filmed.

"Is this a signal? Will Tang come to Los Angeles to play next season?"

"You mentioning that made me realize next season is Tang's contract year!"

"This isn't just wishful thinking. Howard's contract expires next season, and we can offer Tang a contract and then renew Howard!"

"Brother, your idea is perfect. Artest, or we should call him Metta Sandiford-Artest now, but either way, he's getting old. We need a new wing defender. He's the best piece for F4!"

"Hehe, you're overthinking it. The Spurs will match any team's offer!"

"That's without a doubt. This guy just helped the team win their fifth championship trophy!"

"And now they have a chance to win their sixth!"

"Dream on. The Heat added Ray Allen and Kwame Brown this year. What about you?"

"And LeBron has improved his shooting this summer. It's impossible for the Spurs to defend their title this season."

"Now that you mention it, it's true. The old guys on the Spurs are another year older, but the Heat are much stronger than last season."

"Am I sick? I just finished watching last year's Finals, and now I want to see the new year's Finals?"

"Haha, let's skip the regular season and watch the seven-game war between the Spurs and the Heat!"

"Where's the guy who predicted the steal and game-winner last year? Who's going to win this year?"

"The Thunder are the real champions this year. While you guys are discussing this, they've already re-signed Ibaka and are about to finalize Harden. They've kept their roster and have more experience, and a stronger Kevin Durant."

"Didn't they say there were problems with Harden's re-signing?"

"Are you guys ignoring my Lakers? Can you handle the F4 lineup? Lakers champions!"

"Yes! Let's bombard our opponents with talent! Lakers champions!"

"A Knicks fan passing by silently."

…

Just like last year, fans were definitely the most bored group during the offseason. This episode of the Godfather's show caused social media to explode again.

The Godfather's filming was very successful, and Tang Tian and Kobe had lunch together the next day.

But compared to last night, because Kobe's two daughters were back, the lunch was much more formal.

"Mommy took us to eat our favorite ice cream."

"Mommy also gave us both a bath."

"Dad, when are we going to live with Mommy again?"

…

Gianna kept talking at the dinner table.

Kobe's eyes were still full of doting when he looked at Gianna, but this time he couldn't answer.

Natalia, the older one, was very sensible. She didn't say anything like that and kept feeding Gianna, trying to shut her up.

When Kobe turned his head, there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes that he couldn't hide.

He was the Black Mamba who never gave up on the court, but there was more to life than basketball.

Even the most successful man wasn't necessarily good at handling things in life.

After lunch, Tang Tian originally planned to return to New York in the afternoon, but Kobe's two daughters wouldn't let him leave.

"We want to see you and Dad play basketball!"

Gianna had really been spoiled by Kobe.

Although Natalia didn't say anything, she kept winking at Kobe.

"Then leave tomorrow. I have a gift for you too."

Kobe said.

Tang Tian nodded with a helpless smile.

Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are!

"Just one day."

Tang Tian held out his little finger to Gianna.

When Gianna saw that Tang Tian had agreed, she happily reached out her little hand and hooked fingers with Tang Tian, ​​considered an agreement.

The next day, Tang Tian vaguely heard the doorbell ringing constantly.

He turned on the bedside lamp and looked at the time. It was only 3:30 in the morning.

Who was ringing the doorbell so late at night?

He put on his clothes and suddenly felt a chill down his back.

He remembered some of his teammates telling him about haunted hotels.

Could he be encountering something like that in the middle of the night?

Although he had transmigrated once, everyone was afraid of unclean things!

He reached behind the door and grabbed a bowling pin, walked to the door, took a deep breath, and looked outside through the peephole.

Outside was a face.

A smiling face.

Kobe's face.

This guy wasn't sleeping in the middle of the night and actually came to ring his doorbell.

And he was dressed so neatly.

Not only that, but behind him were his two daughters who kept yawning.

He opened the door and couldn't help asking, "Kobe, what are you doing?"

"Gift, hurry up and get dressed. I'll take you to see the gift."

Kobe said.

Tang Tian saw the two daughters behind him with expressions of disgust, and immediately felt speechless.

What gift are you giving in the middle of the night?

But Kobe was already prepared, so he could only go back to the room and put on his clothes and follow Kobe out the door.

Kobe drove them directly to Beverly Hills.

This was the most prosperous area of Los Angeles and also the highest point in Los Angeles.

The manor was brightly lit day and night. Even at this hour, socialites were constantly coming and going.

Kobe took them in but didn't stay in the manor. Instead, he took them directly to the top of the hill.

From this place, you could overlook the entire Los Angeles, including the Cienega Boulevard, Coldwater Canyon, Sunset Boulevard…

And because it was night, the lights of Hollywood were particularly eye-catching.

"Tang, this is my gift, four a.m. in Los Angeles."

Kobe said.

"…"

In his previous life, Kobe wrote a book called *The Mamba Mentality: How I Play*, which was Kobe's autobiography. It mentioned the four a.m. in Los Angeles.

In fact, when Kobe said that sentence in an interview, it became an indelible label on him.

But Tang Tian didn't seem very excited, not because he was sleepy in the middle of the night, but because he had seen four a.m. in Los Angeles in his previous life!

It was during a game once, and there was a problem with the hotel the team had a contract with, so they switched to living in the suburbs.

Then the game was back-to-back, and they had to catch an 8 a.m. flight the next day.

At that time, the team staff had experience and said that there was an overpass on the way to the airport, which was a turn. It wouldn't be congested for a minute, but it would be congested for at least an hour.

They had to leave for that place at five o'clock, so he had already seen four a.m. in Los Angeles at that time…
