Kobe Matchmaker Bryant Cox

The noisy stadium made it difficult for him to concentrate, so he temporarily put his thoughts aside and looked towards the field.

The players then entered the field, and the two teams began their pre-match warm-ups, one in front of the other.

Meanwhile, even the womanizing Harden was stunned. He was captivated by Britney's beauty and envied his idol. He vowed to have her on both sides.

If Li Chen were in Harden's mind, he would definitely feel like banging his head against a wall. This is truly an unexpected disaster! He never imagined that the label of "Harden nightclub prince" would be pinned on his head like this.

On the other side, Kobe took the opportunity of picking it up to walk over, first nodding to his two little fans, then looking at Li Chen and saying, "How's this position?"

Li Chen inwardly grumbled, not knowing what to say about Kobe. The last time he watched a game, he saw Avril, and then Avril inexplicably became his nominal girlfriend.

He ran into Britney again this time, and who knows what kind of messy things will happen this time? Stop calling yourself Kobe Bean Bryant Cox!

I think you should be called Kobe Bryant Cox, the matchmaker.

Li Chen thought to himself, but said aloud, "Kobe, you really understand me!"

Kobe was a little embarrassed, thinking to himself, "I don't know anything about you. I'm just trying to show you my performance."

Shortly after, in the first quarter, Kobe quickly got into the game, weaving nimbly between defenders, shooting accurately, and cooperating seamlessly with his teammates.

His offensive power should not be underestimated; every shot he makes is unstoppable for his opponents.

Besides Kobe's individual ability, O'Neal continued to perform consistently.

With the combined efforts of the OK Combination, the Lakers entered the second quarter with a 29-17 lead.

When the first quarter ended, Duncan hadn't played very well, or rather, Horry and his partner had caused Duncan a great deal of trouble.

What if it were the Clippers? Could Odom stop Duncan? The Answer is obvious.

Let alone the current Odom, even the future Odom wouldn't be able to handle Duncan. Duncan just too consistent.

If I randomly get an S-rank [Iron Wall and Bronze Barrier] support unit, I might have a chance, but what are the chances of that happening?

Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn't help but smile wryly. He still didn't know what the Dallas Mavericks were all about; he had been thinking too far ahead.

At the start of the second quarter, the Spurs still hadn't adjusted their mindset. Their star player, Parker, seemed to be sleepwalking.

In the end, the Lakers led the Spurs 21-19 by two points.

In the third quarter, Popovich seemed to have adjusted his offensive tactics, and Duncan took more shots. However, Duncan's offensive efficiency was really not good today.

However, at the end of the third quarter, the Spurs and Lakers were still evenly matched, tied at 31-31.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs players gradually found their rhythm, but the Lakers' offense remained strong, giving the Spurs no chance.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 110-95.

After the game, Kobe waved to Li Chen, as if to say, "See? I won."

It's worth mentioning that, after one of the bodyguards had been gone for a while, Britney asked for Li Chen's phone number.

While Li Chen was still hesitating about whether to tell her, Harden, being the chatterbox he is, blurted out Li Chen's phone number.

And coincidentally, this scene was captured on camera by the very cameraman who started it.

Li Chen was unaware that the news of his cheating was already making waves.

May 11th, morning.

Sketchers executives delivered a pair of new Miracle II shoes, expected to launch next season.

Li Chen tried it on; it Sketchers' new product, and the grip, shock absorption, support, breathability, lightweight design, and abrasion resistance were all significantly improved.

Overall, Li Chen was fairly satisfied with Sketchers' design.

A few hours later.

"Fuck, Chen, I never thought you were such a bastard." Odom revealed a lewd smile that any man would understand.

Li Chen was somewhat confused, and frowned, saying with displeasure, "Lamar, what are you howling about? And don't slander me."

Odom gave me a look that said, "You're still pretending with me," and sneered, "Chen, stop pretending. I didn't expect you to be one of us. From now on..."

At this point, he looked around and, noticing Alvin Gentry wasn't there, said, "We can keep each other company at the nightclub now."

Li Chen's lips twitched. "Get lost! I'd never go to a nightclub with you!"

It's not that he's particularly serious; he's genuinely afraid of going with that unlucky guy Odom and not seeing the sun rise tomorrow. He doesn't have Odom's luck, being able to survive a gunshot wound and still be jumping around.

Just then, Odom tossed a magazine at him and sneered, "Keep pretending, keep pretending. They even wrote that they took pictures of you and Britney whispering to each other."

Li Chen looked bewildered, then suspiciously picked up the magazine that had fallen to the ground and unfolded it to take a look.

Sure enough, it was a very intimate photo of Li Chen and Britney.

Upon seeing this photo, his face turned green.

"Chen, you're speechless now!" Odom said smugly.

The other players also came over, revealing lewd and ambiguous smiles on their faces.

"If I say we're innocent, would you believe me?" Li Chen asked weakly.

"Cut..."

Li Chen's words drew boos from his teammates.

Then Li Chen remembered something else: what if Avril questioned him?

Thinking about this, he was speechless. He hadn't done anything wrong, yet he still had to explain himself to this fake girlfriend. Nobody else would do that.

Li Chen thought for a whole day and finally came up with a flimsy excuse, but to his dismay, Avril didn't call to inquire. This made him breathe a long sigh of relief.

The Clippers will play their third game of the second round of the Playoffs at 8 PM.

The starting lineups for both sides remained unchanged, and Li Chen once again tossed magnesium powder into the air.

In the TNT broadcast room.

"Hey! Kenny, have you noticed that Li Chen seems to have taken to tossing magnesium powder before games?" Barkley said with some surprise.

"Charles, don't worry about the details. Did you notice that Chen's basketball shoes have changed?"

"Really? I hadn't noticed that at all."

At that moment, the camera zoomed in on the Miracle II at Li Chen's feet.

"Chen should be the fourth player with a lifetime contract now!" Kenny Smith recalled.

Barkley nodded and said, "Yes, the first is Michael, the second is Iverson, and the third is Tracy McGrady. However, Sketchers is too small and has almost no reputation. It can't compare to companies like Nike and Adidas at all."

"Charles, although Sketchers is still a small company, think about it, isn't it somewhat similar to Nike Company back in the day?" Kenny Smith asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, Kenny, Nike Company is a miracle, it's unrepeatable." Barkley shook his head repeatedly.

"Charles, have you forgotten? Chen is a miracle worker, and the fact that his basketball shoes are named the Miracle Series proves Sketchers' ambition."

"No, no, no! Kenny, I still don't believe you."

"We'll wait and see!" Kenny Smith said with a smile.
