Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA

Chapter 771 275: The Rebellious Bryant, The Ever Trustworthy Paul

The Warriors, who have been unstoppable recently, faced off against the Lakers for the first time in the regular season during this year's Christmas game.Before the game started, Kobe walked confidently to the visitors' half of the court.

As the host at the Staples Center.

Considering the long-standing discord between Kobe and Qin Yue, Kobe indeed had reason to throw out some harsh words to extinguish the arrogance of the visiting team.

However, just as the Warriors players pricked up their ears, curious about how Kobe would engage in a verbal battle with Qin Yue at that moment...

The aggressive Kobe unexpectedly took a Golden State Warriors No. 77 jersey from a Lakers staff member beside him.

And in front of Qin Yue, he said with the most humble tone ever, "Can you sign it for me?"

Signature?

Kobe is asking me to sign a Warriors jersey?

At that moment, staring in disbelief at Kobe, Qin Yue couldn't believe that the forever defiant Kobe would one day bow his head to him.

So, feeling elated, Qin Yue smiled and said, "No problem, you know, Kobe, I'm always happy to sign for any of my supporters."

Even Kobe, the die-hard Qin hater, had been turned into a Qin fan by himself.

In Qin Yue's eyes, this was definitely a recognition of his achievements in the current era.

However, not long after signing for Kobe, Qin Yue realized that Kobe becoming a fan was entirely wishful thinking.

Because the real reason Kobe asked for the jersey was for the Christmas gift of Macaroni Bryant, who received it on the Lakers bench a few seconds later.

"Kobe's son is a fan of yours?"

In the Warriors' half, Kwame Brown was surprised.

Yes, influenced by Kobe, Macaroni had developed a strong interest in basketball from a young age, and since last year, he became a die-hard fan of Qin Yue.

Although Kobe always wanted to help the rebellious Macaroni rebuild correct values,

his strictness only solidified Macaroni's belief in Qin Yue.

Don't ask.

Just know that Uncle Daqin is the white moonlight in young Macaroni's heart that can beat up his old father.

"Father, thank you for helping me get the GOAT's autograph."

On the sidelines, Macaroni, holding Qin Yue's signed jersey with excitement, completely disregarded his father's feelings and even gave Kobe a jab in the chest.

"Father, this jersey makes your status in my heart surpass Ham."

"Who's Ham?"

"A golden retriever my elementary school classmate Richard owns."

"..."

At this moment, looking at Macaroni, who always found pleasure in irritating him in the past year, Kobe couldn't distinguish who was the father and who was the son anymore.

But one thing Kobe could be sure of.

That raising a child makes you appreciate your parents, and what he urgently needed right now wasn't to give Macaroni a beating, but to go home and have more kids with Vanessa.

Yes.

In Kobe's view, Macaroni was beyond saving.

Now, he could only try again from a new start, hoping to have a well-behaved son who could understand him in the future.

However, contrary to Kobe's attitude.

When Qin Yue approached the Lakers' half to interact with his little fan,

he immediately took a liking to Macaroni.

"You have a great son."

On the sidelines, Qin Yue said to Kobe, "Has he already started learning basketball?"

Upon hearing this, not really wanting to engage with Qin Yue, Kobe replied sulkily, "He's been learning for two and a half years."

Two and a half years already?

At that moment, Qin Yue, once again realizing the irreversible passage of time as he looked at Macaroni's rapidly growing figure, mused with a sense of longing, "Maybe in another ten years, your son will follow in your footsteps and aim for the NBA."

Seeing this, Kobe sighed deeply, "Who knows if he'll choose to pursue professional basketball in the future?"

In the NBA, not every star descendant follows in their parent's footsteps.

However, to go against his father...

Macaroni pouted beside him, "I will definitely become a professional basketball player in the future, and if I make it to the NBA, I'll choose to wear No. 77."

What an ambitious little guy.

Before the game, this little episode with Kobe and his son even brightened Qin Yue's mood, who had to work every Christmas.

Of course, in stark contrast to this was Kobe, who was hit hard by Macaroni's words.

At the center of the court, after warming up, the starting lineup for this Christmas showdown between the Lakers and Warriors was officially announced.

Visiting team Warriors: Brown, Qin Yue, Wallace, Green, Jack.

Home team Lakers: Little Gasol, Big Gasol, Kobe, Klay, Paul.

Opening jump ball, Brown, back in the starting lineup, defeated Little Gasol and won possession for the team.

On the court, it was the Warriors' offensive turn.

At the high post, Paul, trying to bypass the wall that was Qin Yue, did not hold back due to his relationship with Qin Yue.

Bam!

Near the top of the arc, Paul delivered a Cannon Fist, igniting the fuse of this matchup.

Although this Cannon Fist didn't cause any real harm to Qin Yue,

it was undoubtedly a warning:

The Lakers would not let the Warriors off easily in the Christmas game.
