Chapter 143, Kobe's retention.
After the press conference, the Lakers team boarded a special plane back to Los Angeles.
They have two days off next.
This is the advantage of sweeping. No matter who wins between the Jazz and the Rockets, they have plenty of time to prepare for the next round.
It was already late at night when he returned to Los Angeles, so Zhou Hang went to bed and hugged Xiuxian to sleep.
Early the next morning.
Zhou Hang slept until noon before getting up, and Soo Hyun had already prepared lunch.
Soo-hyun made a table of Cantonese cuisine.
Since she was with Zhou Hang, Xiuxian has been constantly learning cooking skills. Under Zhou Hang's training, her cooking skills have improved rapidly.
Although Zhou Hang has excellent cooking skills, he rarely does it himself.
Zhou Hang also turned on the TV while having dinner.
Other matches were played on TV.
The Rockets and Jazz also finished the G4 game. The Jazz defeated the Rockets 86-82 at home and are currently leading 3-1 with a big score.
Although the Jazz only scored 86 points, six of them scored in double digits. With the connection between Deron Williams, they played team basketball, and everyone was in a very comfortable rhythm.
Compared with the Jazz's team basketball, the Rockets are much more chaotic. McGrady scored 33 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, and the data was great, but she could not help the Rockets defeat such Jazz.
With the Hornets and the Mavericks, the Hornets also led the Mavericks 3-1. Compared with Paul, Kidd looks really old.
Paul not only beat Kidd on the offensive end, but also showed his strength to suppress Kidd on the whole.
In fact, Kidd is not inferior to Paul in terms of organizational skills, but his independent offensive ability is not as good as Paul, which causes him to attract threats not as much as Paul.
For point guards, whether their attack power is strong or not determines whether they can create more space for their teammates.
Then, although Dirknowski's offense stably scored 28 points per game, he could not provide more frame protection support on the defensive end. The Hornets continued to attack the inside, which made the Mavericks very uncomfortable.
Then the Celtics played 2-2 with the Hawks. The Celtics, who won two games first, suffered a series of losses after going away. They did not show the momentum of directly sweeping the Hawks.
On James' side, the Cavaliers lead the Wizards 3-1...
After roughly understanding the situation of other teams, Zhou Hang also finished his meal.
afternoon.
Zhou Hang took Xiuxian to Kobe's home in Beverly Hills.
Kobe's mansion is more than 1,000 square meters, with a theater, a game room, a billiards room, two garages, a patio, etc.
Zhou Hang's value is different from the past, and he won't be envious of such a mansion, after all, his family is similar.
As soon as he entered Kobe's house, Soo-hyun went to prepare afternoon tea with Vanessa.
Among the Lakers' family members, Soo-hyun is deeply loved by his sister-in-law Vanessa.
Mainly, Soo Hyun likes children very much. She often sees Vanessa taking her two children to Staples Staystadt and she will take the initiative to help take care of the children.
The families of other Lakers players will not do this.
....
In the living room.
Kobe made a cup of coffee for Zhou Hang.
"Zhou, I heard that you are investing recently. I have several projects here. Do you want to take a look?" Kobe asked.
On a day off, Kobe did not go to the training hall, but worked at home outside the basketball court.
Kobe is the absolute boss on the court, but not off the court. He is trying to learn more business knowledge and he is happy to discuss business matters with others.
Kobe learned that Zhou Hang's value has increased rapidly, and there are investment companies that have their own unique insights on investment. Kobe is also preparing to have a good chat with Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang asked: "Kobe, are you short of money too?"
Zhou Hang picked up several pieces of information that Kobe put down.
Kobe said: "There is no shortage, but I always have to consider my life after retirement. I also hope to succeed in business."
Zhou Hang has finished reading the project in his hand.
From Zhou Hang's perspective, he will not invest in these projects that Kobe values.
Zhou Hang said: "These projects are different from my investment direction and philosophy. If I invest in these projects, I would rather buy some stocks."
Zhou Hang politely refused to follow up.
Kobe asked, "Do you have any advice on stocks?"
Zhou Hang said: "Microsoft or Apple can do it in the US market. I have these stocks myself, and the Chinese market mainly includes the Internet and liquor."
Zhou Hang spent about 70% of his money to invest in a company, then put about 20% in stocks, and 10% of his usual expenses.
Kobe shook his head and said, "I don't think there is much room for these stocks to rise. Zhou, you are an investor who likes high-risks, and I think you need to be a little conservative."
Zhou Hang smiled and said, "Everyone likes to invest differently, haha, you don't have to persuade me in this regard."
For other NBA players, such a property investment method is easy to go bankrupt, but for Zhou Hang, his investment layout will allow his assets to get dozens or hundreds or thousands of times.
Zhou Hang's assets are now about US$30 million after tax deductions, and his salary is only a small part of it. Most of them are paid in advance by the endorsement. This period has been significantly valued compared to when he first invested.
Zhou Hang now does not have much concept of money. As long as he is willing, he will soon become a capitalist.
Zhou Hang is now more about realizing his own dreams.
....
In the end, the two joined forces to join a private jet company found by Zhou Hang.
Kobe likes riding in helicopters very much. Zhou Hang persuades Kobe to contribute the helicopter first to do the latest upgrades and transformations for his company.
Zhou Hang remembers that Kobe's crash in his previous life was mainly caused by the fact that many components and systems of the helicopter were too backward.
If you upgrade, there should be no more trouble.
Kobe nodded in agreement.
............
After talking about work outside of basketball, Kobe and Zhou Hang started talking about basketball.
Kobe said: "Chou, before you came with Paul, I didn't expect us to win so easily in the playoffs."
Zhou Hang said: "Well, we are very strong now."
Kobe asked, "By the way, will you consider leaving Los Angeles in the summer?"
Kobe knows Zhou Hang’s contract length issue, and it will be very expensive for the Lakers to force Zhou Hang to stay.
Zhou Hang said: "I don't know, I haven't thought too much."
Zhou Hang is indeed very confused. He wants to leave the Lakers because the ball rights issue here and the future space issues are too big.
Kobe is still in his peak period now, and he is still a long time away from retirement. Zhou Hang is not willing to play Kobe for such a long time.
Kobe said: "If possible, I hope you stay. I will try my best to sign your team's maximum salary. I will also try to change the role and give you more points."
Zhou Hang could feel the sincerity in Kobe's words. He was sincere in Zhou Hang staying with the Lakers.
Kobe has been missing a helper for a long time.
Zhou Hang admires Kobe, Nowitzki, and Duncan, a star who is one-man, one-stop.
But he thought it was difficult for him to do it.
Zhou Hang said: "Maybe it's better to talk about these things in the summer, and now we have to focus on winning the championship."
Kobe smiled and said, "Haha, yes, I'm too anxious."
Looking at Soo-hyun who was busy with Vanessa, Kobe said, "Zhou, your girlfriend is very nice to you."
Zhou Hangdao: "Haha, otherwise I wouldn't be with her."
