Chapter 306 The Real Invitation

When the game whistle blew, the audience stood up from their seats and applauded the players.

The shouts of "national team, come on" are also heard endlessly.

Shi Lei tugged at his already soaked jersey, turned his head and walked to the sidelines.

Yes, he failed, and they still failed in the end, but he has tried his best, so there is nothing to regret, although it is inevitable that he will be a little lonely!
"Hey!"

Shi Lei turned his head, it was Kobe, he pinched his waist with his hands, looked at Shi Lei with a smile on his face.

"Well done!"

Shi Lei also smiled: "Thank you! You are fine too!"

Kobe shrugged. It has been a long time since anyone has praised him like this, because his excellence has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.And it didn't sound very polite to say these words from Shi Lei, who was much younger than him, but Kobe didn't get angry because of this, instead he comforted Shi Lei, "Don't be depressed, it's just a game!"

"No, I did my best."

Shi Lei didn't deny it, of course the victors can say that, but the losers can't use those as excuses.

"Yes, you did your best, so why not go for a drink?"

"us?"

"Of course!"

"Uh..." Shi Lei didn't know how to respond to Kobe's invitation. He should refuse, because in the United States, the rumors about his trade are very turbulent, and the next home is the Lakers, so his best choice is to avoid talking to the Lakers. Anyone who has contact with him will save the Celtics and Lakers from creating an illusion that he doesn't want to see, but Kobe's sincere eyes make Shi Lei feel that his hospitality is hard to shake.

"Is he going to personally invite me to the Lakers?"

This thought swirled in Shi Lei's mind, and just as he was about to reject it, he found a better way to deal with it the moment he opened his mouth.

"Okay, I invite all of you to enjoy the authentic cuisine of our country."

"Then see you later?"

"See you soon!"

After the two agreed, they each returned to their team's locker room.

Shi Lei was the latest to come back here, and his teammates had already started chatting and laughing happily. Shi Lei walked in, but he paused their exchange and flattery, and then resumed immediately.

Shi Lei slapped his hands, focused everyone's attention on himself, and said, "I'll treat the US team to dinner later, is anyone going?"

The conversation of the teammates really stopped this time, and many people looked at Shi Lei at this time, already with greed.

Most people really want to go, they really want to know the stars of the US team, this is not unusual, the national football team is still looking for autographs of foreign stars after losing!

But they couldn't keep their mouths open, because they didn't know Shi Lei very well, and thought it was just a courtesy invitation from Shi Lei.

The locker room fell into a brief silence, they were waiting for Shi Lei to send out another invitation.But Shi Lei didn't say any more, but walked in front of Sun Yue: "Go together?"

"Okay!"

Sun Yue immediately stood up excitedly. He was about to join the NBA at the beginning of the new season. Of course he didn't want to miss the opportunity to visit the pier.

Shi Lei agreed to Kobe's invitation because of this, he didn't want to be without help and fail all the time, maybe, some people are just a piece of mud, they will never be able to support the wall, but you should help them first!

"Are you going, Ah Lian?"

"go with!"

Yi Jianlian was not as excited as Sun Yue. It wasn't that he didn't want to participate, but that he didn't have Sun Yue's surprise. He and Shi Lei were the closest friends, and he knew that if Shi Lei wanted to bring someone else, he would definitely have a spot.

The communication between people is to integrate into one circle after another. If Yi Jianlian wants to develop well in the NBA, he knows that he must first integrate into the people there, but, precisely, he lacks that kind of initiative , he needs someone to lead the way, and now Shi Lei acts as his guide, you must know that in tonight's party, there is his "boss" Reed.

Shi Lei finally turned his attention to Yao Ming. This is a process. If he invites Yao Ming first, once Yao Ming refuses, he will invite Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian again, and he will feel a little bit second-best. That's why he put Yao Ming last.

Inviting Yao Ming is equivalent to inviting everyone, if Yao Ming is a qualified "boss".Many people here want to go, but they are waiting for Shi Lei to "beg" them, Shi Lei is willing to give them a chance, but he doesn't need to "beg"!
The relationship between people is as complicated as riding a horse!
Yao Ming nodded: "Okay, go, all of you, I'll treat you today! We haven't greeted you yet when Ah Lei comes back, so this time it's a welcome feast for you!"

Chinese people have the habit of rushing to pay the bill, but Shi Lei did not compete with Yao Ming, because he is now the "boss", this is his power!

Shi Lei sent a favor and achieved his goal, but there are some things he can't avoid.

He turned his personal gathering with Kobe into a team gathering, but he still didn't avoid Kobe's individual communication with him.

"Have you ever thought about coming to the Lakers?"

When he was full of food and drink and went to the toilet, Kobe found Shi Lei who was on the order and asked.

In the mirror of the sink, Shi Lei looked at Kobe through the reflection of the mirror: "Bryant, can I call you that?"

"Of course!"

Kobe also looked at Shi Lei in the mirror, and spread the water from the faucet on his face, which was hot from alcohol.

"I was close to going into something else, so I valued every chance I got to play! That's why I hate losing!"

"I hate losing too!"

"Yes, everyone doesn't want to be a loser, but how to win? No one in this sport is strong enough to rely on one person's strength to defeat all opponents. Everyone has opponents that they don't want to face. For example, you don't want to meet To the Spurs, the Pistons, because their defense makes it so hard to score, so I'm building my team that can win! You know what I mean?"

Kobe tilted his head. He now understands Shi Lei's thoughts, because the facts have proved that this is correct, but he still feels a little funny: "Your? The Celtics? Are you sure? Paul might stay Help you there because he got what he wanted and only you can give him respect, he won't choose to leave there. But will Kevin? He will go back to the Timberwolves, that's his 'home' , and Ray, are you sure you can keep him? Do you think he would be willing to be a backup? So, man, come to the Lakers, we don't have any conflicts, and I'm sure we will hit it off!"

Shi Lei shook his head: "Who knows what hasn't happened yet? Maybe I can do it?"
