Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 51: Sweet Dinner

During the post-game interviews with reporters, Shaq and I became the focus of their attention. Fortunately, this time the reporters did not pay too much attention to my private life, but refocused their attention on me on the playing field.

Performance.

To be honest, I was a little nervous before when I faced questions from these reporters. I would refer more to the routines my agent told me to answer these reporters. But today, I feel much more relaxed.

Questions raised by reporters also began to be answered based on my own ideas.

Most of the questions focused on my performance in this game, but some reporters also asked me, as a high school rookie who has just turned 18, why I can adapt to the rhythm of the NBA so quickly, and how I feel about the game.

Is the team satisfied with its current role?

On the surface, there seems to be nothing special about his questions, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there are some small traps hidden in them. Especially the latter question is actually more sensitive. If I don't answer it tactfully enough, I may be in trouble.

These reporters will seize the opportunity, and there will be no telling what weird reports will appear.

For example, if I say that I am very satisfied with my role as a substitute, then some reporters will describe me as a player who is not willing to make progress and is content with his role as a substitute, and the future may not be worth looking forward to.

But if I answer that I am not satisfied with my role as a substitute and hope to get more playing time and a higher team status, I will obviously fall into another trap. On the one hand, I may directly

Offending coaches and teammates may also leave an impression of arrogance on others.

So in the end, I did not answer this question head-on. Instead, I said that the coach and teammates on the team provided me with great help. I just tried my best to do what I could do. As for my role, I

I say that I believe that as long as I work hard enough, I can do better and better. As for other things besides the competition, I don't really care about it right now.

So when I thought I could say something I wanted to say, the reality told me ruthlessly that I could still only play according to certain rules of the game, especially when facing reporters and media with big mouths.

You need to be extremely careful, otherwise it may bring unnecessary trouble to your future career.

I simply finished the post-game reporter's question session and felt a little bit disappointed. I don't know where this feeling came from. After all, we won the game today, and my performance in this game was also considered good.

The above is remarkable.

By the way, I thought of Jessica. In fact, during the competition, I put most of my energy into the competition itself, but ignored Jessica who had been cheering me on in the audience.

With Amy and her few good friends, I believe they must also be silently cheering me on in the audience.

When I walked out of the arena, I saw Jessica standing under a big tree not far away. She smiled and looked at me as I walked towards her.

I hugged Jessica's small waist, and her body shook slightly, but it did not stop me from moving further. Well, in fact, I didn't make any further moves. I was just innocent at the moment.

I just want to hold her and feel her tenderness and warmth.

The slight feeling of loss that had just appeared disappeared immediately. A few hours later, I had to take the Lakers plane to Salt Lake City, so Jessica and I only had a few hours to be together.

"Jessica, are you satisfied with my performance today?"

"Your performance is quite good, and your shooting and breakthrough posture are really cool. You don't know what the eyes of the people around me look like when you make those difficult shots."

, I think their eyes are full of wonder, and they may even be wondering why such an outstanding rookie is not on our team!"

"Really, am I really that handsome? No, I have to find some video tapes of my own games to take a good look at next time."

"Of course I didn't lie to you! You know, didn't you hit a game-winner in a game before? Some fans who like you very much have made a poster of the game-winner for you."

"Haha, it sounds really good, but aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?" Jessica looked at me with doubt.

"Of course I'm worried that being so handsome will be snatched away by other beauties."

"Why should I worry?" Even though Jessica said this, her face suddenly turned crimson, looking like a freshly ripe red apple, which made people unable to help but

I want to take a big bite on it.

"You are too cute."

I really kissed Jessica hard on the cheek, and Jessica responded with a more passionate kiss.

At this time, I suddenly felt a flash of light around me. I turned around and found that some people were taking pictures with cameras around Jessica and I. I shook my head helplessly. It seemed that I and Jesse

The relationship between the cards cannot be hidden from the media.

"Jessica!"

"you say."

"Be my girlfriend. I can no longer imagine what life would be like without you."

"What! Is your confession so direct?"

I smiled and gently patted Jessica's blushing cheek, which was almost red to her neck, and then took Jessica's little hand and strutted away towards the distance.

As for the eyes around me, I no longer want to care.

Jessica and I got into a taxi. This taxi driver was a very professional one. He knew all about the delicious and fun places near San Francisco, and he made me even more excited.

Surprisingly, he is also a basketball fan, but unfortunately his favorite team is not the Lakers, but the Lakers' old enemy, the Celtics.

However, both the Lakers and Celtics have been in a low period in recent years, but this driver is not disappointed because of the Celtics' recent poor record. In his words, kingship does not last forever, like

Teams with glorious histories like the Lakers and Celtics will rise again sooner or later.

I think he is really a very sensible fan, not just a so-called winning fan. If the team has a good record, praise it, and if the team has a bad record, complain.

During the trough period.

I don’t know if he recognized me as a Lakers player, but from his endless words, I could feel that he must be someone with decades of experience watching football, and many interesting anecdotes about the ancient NBA.

He recounted all the anecdotes as if they were precious treasures, which made both Jessica and I feel admiration in our hearts.

Of course, what Jessica and I are most concerned about is where to find delicious food in San Francisco. The key is the kind of food that best represents the characteristics of San Francisco.

Unexpectedly, when the topic of food came up, the driver was more interested than talking about basketball. In his words, as long as there was food in San Francisco, there was no food he didn't know about.

I shook my head slightly. Although I felt that the driver's words were becoming more and more unreliable, it was still very good to just listen to him talk about the various interesting restaurants and tourist attractions in San Francisco.

However, the driver gave Jessica and I so many food suggestions at once that we didn’t know where to start, so we simply chose a newly opened specialty restaurant. According to the driver, this restaurant

The food sold in specialty restaurants is not usually available to eat, but not everyone is accustomed to eating these foods.

After hearing this, Jessica and I both became very interested and wondered what kind of special food it would be.

When Jessica and I actually entered this newly opened restaurant that the driver highly recommended, we were immediately shocked by the so-called special food inside. It turned out that all the food sold in this restaurant were all kinds of food.

Various insects.

From caterpillars to spiders, from grasshoppers to snails, and even ants, cockroaches, and butterflies, this restaurant not only provides delicacies made by these insects, but also provides diners with a huge visual dining environment

.

Various insects were separated behind the glass, and their living conditions were clearly displayed in front of the visitors. Jessica and I felt a little uncomfortable at first, after all, some of those insects looked really real.

It's quite scary, and the insect I was most afraid of in my previous life was actually spiders.

But when you clearly see the colorful colors on them through the glass, you will sincerely marvel at the magic of nature's creation, which can create such a colorful insect world.

Jessica and I also turned from a slight resistance at the beginning into curiosity. Under the guidance of a dedicated waiter, Jessica and I walked towards the second floor of the restaurant while exploring the beautiful scenery of insects in the restaurant.

This is a circular ladder, and around the ladder is the insect world isolated by glass.

When Jessica and I came to the second floor of the restaurant, we found that a whole new world appeared in front of us. Various insects were placed on the plates under the chef's on-site preparation. It looked like

A buffet dedicated to eating insects.

Various insects plated by the chef will be placed on automatically advancing roller belts. These roller belts will pass through the dining area where diners are located. Guests only need to stretch their hands to place their favorite insects.

The meal was taken down and eaten.

Jessica and I came to a place near the window, where we could see the beautiful night view of San Francisco in the distance, and we could even vaguely see the Golden Gate Bridge connecting San Francisco and Oakland. This is a bridge that has witnessed its glorious history.

, if it weren’t for going to Utah to play back-to-back games tomorrow, I would definitely take Jessica for a walk on the Golden Gate Bridge.

Jessica saw my eyes staring at the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance, and a smile appeared on her face.

"There is a scaled-down version of the Golden Gate Bridge made of special metal in the basement of my home. If you are still interested, I can take you to see it next time."

"Oh my God, the Golden Gate Bridge in scale? That must be a masterpiece!"

"I don't know if it's a masterpiece or not, but there are really a lot of stories related to the Golden Gate Bridge. I remember that there used to be a large section in my parents' notes that recorded data related to the Golden Gate Bridge.

of."

"Oh my God, I feel more and more that your parents are very powerful. I can't imagine how many places of interest around the world they recorded in their notebooks."

"Yes, I was too young and ignorant at that time, and I only glanced at the contents of the notebook. It's just because my childhood memories are so profound that I can barely remember them.

There are some contents in it, but there are still many details that I can no longer recall.”

"Well, every time we go to a city in the future, if we have the opportunity, we should go to the local scenic spots and take a good look. On the one hand, it can increase our knowledge, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a kind of life adjustment."

"There are also local delicacies. You see, the restaurant the driver recommended to us is really unique. Judging from the flow of people, the business here is pretty good. After all, the food it sells is so special."

"It's true, the food here looks a bit scary. I guess this restaurant is really delicious, so there are many repeat customers."

"The nutritional value of insects is actually very high. Among foods of the same weight, insects should have the highest nutritional content. As long as you can overcome some psychological obstacles, you can enjoy their delicious taste."

"Jessica, why doesn't your tone sound like it's the first time you've eaten such an insect feast?"

Jessica smiled and nodded.

"Yes, when I was a child, my parents prepared insect meals for me for a period of time. At that time, one of his friends seemed to specialize in cooking insects. During the winter vacation for a month, I could eat all kinds of insects every day.

Insect delicacies, in fact I grew a lot taller during that winter vacation!”

"No wonder your body proportions are so good. It seems that your parents were very careful when raising you. They must not be willing to leave you alone at home. There must be their own difficulties."

When I said this, I noticed that Jessica's eyes were a little dim, and there were even some tears in her eyes. I quickly moved closer to comfort her.

Jessica was the first to recover on her own, and took down several plates of insect delicacies from the rolling belt.

I shook my head slightly and took a special snail platter from Jessica. Among all the bugs, snails may be the only ones that are slightly less scary, but when I put that small ball of snails into my mouth

When I saw it, I suddenly felt like I had eaten some indescribable deliciousness.

In my previous life, I was also a person who had studied snacks, so I could naturally tell the quality of food. There is no doubt that the humble-looking snail meal in front of me was definitely made by a master. I didn’t expect that this place

There really is a master chef in the insect restaurant.

This plate of snails instantly whetted my appetite, and then I had the idea to try no matter how scary the insects looked. From the spiders I was most afraid of to caterpillars, butterflies, etc., I discovered these insects

Although they look scary, after being specially cooked, they not only perfectly retain the original natural taste, but also have an aftertasteful smell. I can't tell what this smell is.

"How do you feel after eating?" Jessica asked after seeing the satisfied expression on my face.

"It seems that this insect restaurant really has something to offer. No wonder there are so many people coming here to eat. The driver said before that this restaurant was newly opened. It seems that this place has quickly become a popular place in San Francisco.

He’s become somewhat famous.”

"Yes, and the food they sell is so unique that you can't get it anywhere else, so there will definitely be many repeat customers to take care of their business."

"It's a pity that there are not a few restaurants in Los Angeles that people would like to eat at regularly!" I said with a slight sigh.

"Who said there isn't such a restaurant in Los Angeles? Otherwise, next time, let me, a native of Los Angeles, show you the culinary heritage of Los Angeles."

"Okay, it's a deal, I'll pay for your treat. If you have any delicious food, just recommend it to me."

"That doesn't feel good. If I make you fat, it will affect your competitive status. If others know that I caused the future basketball superstar to gain weight early, you will be scolded by your fans."

I looked at Jessica's pretended pitiful look and couldn't help but smile knowingly. I really felt how comfortable it was to be with Jessica. Maybe this was fate.

"By the way, it would be great if we could fly to Utah together."

"Stop thinking nonsense. If other Lakers players think like you, the entire Lakers team will be in chaos. Since we are all members of the same team, we should always be united. You should also be with your teammates.

Just keep a good relationship."

"I got it, Mommy Jessica."

"Looking for a fight."

I smiled and grabbed Jessica's little pink fist with my hand, and couldn't help but get closer to Jessica.

"Close your eyes!" I whispered in Jessica's ear.

"What?" Jessica slowly closed her eyes.

Looking at her cute appearance, I couldn't help but feel a little more love and affection in my heart. The more time I spent with Jessica, the more I could find the shining points in her character. This may be the so-called beauty in the eye of the beholder.

Xi Tzu, anyway, in my eyes at this time, Jessica is like a perfect goddess, without any shortcomings.

Jessica and I had a deep kiss, under the bright moonlight of San Francisco, witnessed by many chefs, waiters, and diners in the restaurant, a passionate kiss!
