As a Kobe hater, he was actually teammates with Kobe!

The NBA holds two "Open the Book" events every month, where players go to schools or reading centers to tutor children in reading.

Although Zhou Ze often participates in offline activities, he mostly teaches children how to play basketball. This is his first time participating in an interactive reading activity.

Kobe, who only has a high school education, has been here a few times, but not often.

Zhou Ze was very suspicious that Kobe didn't know many words, so he came less often.

The two met at the community reading center.

Zhou Ze was wearing simple casual clothes and had a short buzz cut, showing his sunny youth. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. No matter from which angle you look at him, he revealed a friendly gentlemanly demeanor.

Kobe was dressed in a suit and tie, with a firm and deep gaze. As a handsome black man in the NBA, his appearance could barely compare to Zhou Ze.

After the two arrived at the event site, the children at the scene immediately cheered and jumped for joy.

The thunderous applause and screams made the inexperienced beautiful host at a loss as to how to control it for a moment.

The host is a white beauty who just graduated from college. She has blonde hair, blue eyes and long legs. The only flaw is that she has a lot of freckles on her face.

The beautiful host looked at Zhou Ze for help.

Zhou Ze smiled faintly, cleared his throat, and said, "Children, keep silent!"

Say it three times.

Although the children's excitement had eased somewhat, there were still quite a few screams at the scene.

at this time...

Kobe, who was next to Zhou Ze, started to act cool.

"Shh!" Kobe made a classic silencing gesture.

He put his index finger in front of his mouth, and in an instant, the scene became quiet.

The beautiful host was stunned and looked at Kobe with a little more admiration.

Kobe, who had quieted the crowd, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Zhou Ze, as if to say, "Dear All-Star vote-getter, how's my popularity?"

Before the book sharing session began, the beautiful host also interacted with the young fans present.

First, a little black boy wearing the Lakers No. 0 jersey, which was Zhou Ze's jersey number, was invited to the stage.

"Kids, which team do you like best?" asked the beautiful host.

Before the little boy could speak, "LA" was heard in unison.

After all, this is a Los Angeles community, and local citizens naturally support the Lakers.

As for the Clippers...

The team has been the runner-up for a long time, and its record is not very good. There is a high probability that it will miss the playoffs this season, so naturally there are very few fans.

"So, kid, which NBA star do you like best?" the beautiful host asked with a smile.

When this question came up, Zhou Ze straightened his chest.

Although this host lacks on-the-spot experience, the questions he asks are all very good.

Wearing the No. 0 jersey, he is undoubtedly a fan of Zhou Ze.

Just as Zhou Ze was waiting to get back at Kobe, the little boy shyly said, "Kobe Bryant!"

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

"Kobe! Black Mamba!"

"black Mamba!"

The children under the podium also cheered.

Kobe himself, who was standing next to him, was stunned at first, then he showed a huge smile.

"Hey, boy, your choice is right." Kobe said with satisfaction.

There was a smug tone in his voice, completely ignoring Zhou Ze beside him.

The muscles at the corners of Zhou Ze's mouth twitched subconsciously.

"WTF!"

"You're not my fan, and you're wearing my jersey number? I'm going to destroy your basketball dream!"

Zhou Ze couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart.

The beautiful host also asked the doubts in her heart at this time.

The little boy looked at Zhou Ze sheepishly and said timidly, "Because Kobe's jersey is not available."

"Puchi!" The beautiful host burst out laughing.

Kobe, standing by, smiled, revealing his white teeth. He patted Zhou Ze on the shoulder and said jokingly, "Zhou, don't take it to heart. You'll get used to it in the future."

Zhou Ze's mouth twitched again. "Kobe, this is perfectly normal. After all, you have a lot of experience, and I'm just a third-year rookie."

"Fuck!"

"This kid is really shameless. You don't say that in front of a rookie..."

"Your standards for rookies are pretty flexible, Schrödinger's rookie?"

Kobe thought speechlessly.

After some communication and interaction, we began to discuss today's topic.

What Kobe shared was a fairy tale.

Although I was reading word for word, I could speak fluently and there were no unfamiliar words. If I were to study English in China, I would definitely be able to pass the CET-4.

Yao Ming, the young giant, also told stories to American elementary school students during his rookie season. Yao Ming's English was very poor at the time, so he had a translator with him. His English level was probably CET-3. Yao Ming spoke in Chinese, and the children beside him translated into English.

The short fairy tale told by Kobe is an old-fashioned routine. The protagonist gains the recognition of the sage through courage, kills the dragon and rescues the princess.

But due to Kobe's extremely high popularity, the primary school students under the podium never took their eyes off Kobe for a second, and their faces were full of admiration and love.

Unlike Kobe...

Zhou Ze shared with the children an excerpt from Shakespeare's poem "We Will Always Be One With Each Other."

Selected from "Miscellaneous Poems on Music".

Be reasonable!

Shakespeare's poems were so confusing that not only the elementary school students present, but even Kobe, who only had a high school education, was confused.

But this is exactly the effect Zhou Ze wants.

Things that you can't understand are art.

This trick works surprisingly well.

The primary school students immediately felt that Zhou Ze on the podium was a great scholar and literary master.

The beautiful host next to him, who had just graduated from college, looked at Zhou Ze with a bit of shyness and admiration.

...

...

After the main part of shared reading is over.

This is the question asked by the children.

Although the beautiful host repeatedly emphasized that she hoped to ask questions related to books.

But the questions asked by the naturally rebellious elementary school students were all about basketball.

Elementary school student: "Kobe, can you beat Carmelo Anthony in a one-on-one match?"

Kobe: "Of course!"

Elementary school student: "Kobe, can you beat LeBron James in a one-on-one match?"

Kobe: "Of course!"

Elementary school student: "Kobe, can you beat Michael Jordan in a one-on-one match?"

Kobe shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't do that. I learned a lot of things from him."

Elementary school student: "Zhou, can you beat Michael Jordan in a one-on-one match?"

Zhou Ze: "Of course!"

Kobe couldn't help but roll his eyes and thought to himself, "Shame on you!"
