Chapter 35 A Day Trip to Los Angeles

Zhang Bolong had no choice but to express his attitude in this way, although he seemed a bit messy.

Do you want him to tell Kobe that in his previous life you said goodbye because of the helicopter?

"Okay then, I won't buy it yet, let's talk about something interesting." Seeing that he was determined, Kobe temporarily chose to compromise, "There are many popular attractions in Los Angeles. I don't know what you are interested in, but I think It's mostly meaningless."

"Do you just think the training hall is interesting...or let's call the Lama together?"

Zhang Bolong had the impression that Leo Daida should be very good at playing.

"If you're going to be in a club 24 hours a day, he's your guy. He rarely sees daylight in L.A."

"Right……"

"—Hollywood, you don't seem to have been there yet? This is a must-see in Los Angeles. I don't need to introduce it, but it's better to go there at night. We can also go to Griffith Park at the foot of the mountain. There It is the first choice for Los Angeles people to travel on weekends, with attractions such as zoos, golf courses, museums and astronomical observatories.”

Zhang Bolong nodded, Hollywood can be said to be one of the symbols of Los Angeles, and he really should go see it.

"If you want to watch a movie, Universal Studios is good. I heard that "The Departed" is currently in theaters, and it is expected to win next year's Oscar—"

"Uh, I know about this movie, but I prefer its original work, our Huaxia's "Infernal Affairs." Zhang Bolong interjected.

"Then we can watch the original on the plane some other day." Bryant continued, "In addition to movies, the nearby CityWalk is also good, there are many shops, restaurants and movie theaters, and the signs are very -- wow, you know, the senses are very exciting. "

"How exciting?" Zhang Bolong raised his eyebrows.

"If you want to know, go and see for yourself, but it may not be the one you think." Kobe smiled, "If you want to go to a Mexican restaurant, we can go to Owella Street, which is the birthplace of Los Angeles, and Lots of old buildings."

"As for Disney Parks, wait until you have a girlfriend. Vanessa and I just took Natalia and Jaina there. It was fun, but a little boring."

Um?What about your TP here?
Zhang Bolong tasted it carefully, and thought it might be because there was no one to play with him there. If it was changed to Rock Park, Kobe might be much more excited.

"By the way, when will you take me to see my sister-in-law and your lovely daughters, I can teach them how to play."

"Hey young man, I, Kobe Bryant's daughter, use someone else to teach me how to play?"

"What do you teach, elbow or back? It is more important for children to develop good shooting habits. I can shoot more accurately than you."

"Shut your mouth, why don't we go to the training hall now."

"Don't mind, it's rare to come out once..." Zhang Bolong quickly stopped with a smile, "Is there anything else fun?"

"No, oh yes, there is Santa Monica Beach, the scenery is good, there is a pier there, and the third avenue by the sea is also a super large pedestrian street, there are many delicious food and beautiful women, especially those who have just finished drying Sunbathed..."

"Let's go, then go to the beach! Not for anything else, the main reason is to eat some delicious food, and then look at the sea."

Zhang Bolong really wanted to see the sea, but the chatter on the side gave him a "disdainful" smile, "This is just like a normal person."

Om-!
Kobe slammed on the accelerator, and the sports car roared like a lion and sprinted out, bypassing the main road with cars coming and going, and turned onto the street leading to Santa Monica.

……

Santa Monica Beach is the terminus of Route 66 in North America.

As the closest beach to the city, it is crowded with people on weekdays and is very lively.The beautiful sea view is also favored by Hollywood directors, and the iconic jetty frequently appears in major Hollywood movies.

This is not only the first choice for Los Angeles citizens to take a family vacation, but also a paradise for couples to enjoy the world of two.

Today's beach is as beautiful as ever.

As blue as the sky, the clear sea water shines like a brocade with silvery brilliance, puffing in and out of the vast expanse of white waves, like a naughty child greedily licking the smooth sandy beach, and when it recedes slowly, gently pulling it like a shy girl Floor-sweeping dress.

The sky is also refreshing, like a translucent jasper-like dome covering it, holding up the rising sun far away to sprinkle golden brilliance.

Listening to the ebb and flow of the tide, watching the seagulls soaring between the sunny sky and the sea, Zhang Bolong suddenly felt that his exhaustion had been washed away.

Although he wasn't tired...but there was still an unspeakable sense of relief and joy.

Kobe was a little speechless, looking at the intoxicated Zhang Bolong, lying on the beach and sunbathing.

"I really didn't expect that you really came to see the sea."

"I love the sense of stillness, it makes me feel like... I really belong in this world."

Zhang Bolong looked at the sea, reflecting the same clear light and shadow.

"Otherwise? My handsome boy, if you want to be an artist, you'd better wait until you retire. Basketball players shouldn't have a melancholy mentality."

"It's not melancholy." Zhang Bolong still looked like a sunny boy, but his tone showed a maturity that didn't match his age. "Kobe, if you were to live your life again, how would you choose to spend it?"

"Life again? Dude, I didn't think about it. I think my life is pretty good now, right? Of course, if there is such a chance, I will continue to play basketball well. You know, only basketball will never will deceive you."

Kobe picked up a shell casually, and looked at the mottled but delicate lines on it, as if it was his vision for his own future.

"Win a few more championships, and then do more other interesting things. There is still a long way to go in life. I hope that when I retire, I will look back at the road I have traveled. I have given my all every day. .

I also hope that after I retire, I can do more. If basketball is still the most successful thing in my life after 20 years, then I am a failure! "

Kobe laughed, and Zhang Bolong laughed too.

"Dragon, you know, Kobe Bryant, No.1 forever."

"Yeah, I know."

"What about you, Long, if you were to live a new life, what would you do?"

"You've seen it."

……

On May 2021, 5, at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame awards ceremony, Lakers star Kobe Bryant delivered his acceptance speech with red eyes.

"...In addition, I would also like to thank Zhang Bolong, my good brother and teammate in my life. I still remember our conversation on the beach in Santa Monica that day. It was he who made me understand that although no one can change life Let’s do it all over again, but we can choose to live every day of our lives, give our best every morning and evening, and leave no regrets.”
