[Kobe's Mid-Range Shot Skills]

[Kobe's Back-to-the-basket skills]

[Kobe's Ball Handling Skills Package]

When Zhou Yi saw these three skill packs, his eyes practically overflowed with longing.

As Kobe's defender, Zhou Yi knew all too well how powerful the old blacksmith's skills were.

Although he often favored four-pointers, three-pointers, and three-pointers, Kobe's technical skills were arguably among the best in history.

Any one of Kobe's skills could help Zhou Yi achieve a qualitative improvement.

May the Bodhisattva protect you, may God protect you, may Allah protect you.

Zhou Yi silently recited three sentences in his mind and started the spinning wheel.

As Zhou Yi manipulated the wheel, it began to spin rapidly.

With his eyes glued to the pointer, Zhou Yi hoped it would eventually point to Kobe's skill set.

After the turntable spun rapidly for several tens of seconds, the rotation speed began to slow down.

[Luke Walton's Three-Point Skills Package]

The pointer swept across each skill pack, until finally the entire board's rotation speed had slowed to a minimum.

When Zhou Yi saw the pointer pointing to Walton's three-point skill set, his heart skipped a beat.

But it seemed that Zhou Yi's prayers were answered, for the wheel spun one last time, and the pointer pointed to the next area.

[Kobe's Back-to-the-basket skills]

When the pointer stopped in this area, Zhou Yi felt an instant surge of joy, as if he had won a huge lottery prize.

No! This is the grand prize in the basketball skills package.

Kobe's post-up game is one of the most powerful skills in the NBA arsenal.

Inside the shower, Zhou Yi suppressed his cheers and quickly opened the Kobe Bryant back-to-the-basket skill pack in his system mailbox.

Below the card representing Kobe's skill set is the longest training bar Zhouyi has ever seen.

It is estimated that Zhou Yi will not be able to fully master this skill until later in the next season.

By then, with his physical gifts combined with Kobe's post-up skills, Zhou Yi is confident that he can challenge for the scoring title and break into the top three of the MVP list next season.

The Lakers' second game against the Clippers garnered attention from fans across the United States, and the Lakers' defeat quickly caused a huge uproar in the American basketball community.

All because the Clippers are currently the only team to remain undefeated against the Lakers this season.

In TNT's post-game analysis studio, Barkley and Kenny also did a special program to analyze the reasons for the victory or defeat of this game.

"In a single race of 5.7 kilometers, Zhou Yi demonstrated the endurance of a marathon runner."

As Kenny spoke, a look of utter shock crossed his face as he pointed to the screen in the studio.

On the screen, the NBA's latest tracking technology linked Zhou Yi's movements on the court into red lines, with dense red lines interwoven and covering the entire court.

"My God! This is the longest distance covered in a single game in NBA history that has been recorded. No wonder Kobe, who was chasing him, vomited at one point during the game."

Barkley said sarcastically, making fun of Kobe.

"Now we can confirm that Zhou Yi is the NBA player with the best endurance, bar none. NBA players, please remember, never try to chase after Zhou Yi."

Zhou Yi watched the TNT program the next day. When he saw Barkley making fun of Kobe, Zhou Yi laughed and sent the video to Kobe.

Then Zhou Yi's phone received a notification that he had been blocked by Kobe.

That damn old blacksmith, all he did was run around the US on live TV until he threw up, and that broke his defenses.

After teasing Kobe, Zhou Yi began his off-season plans; tonight he was attending Beckham's charity gala in Los Angeles.

Beckham had already extended an invitation during the Lakers' first game against the Clippers.

Living in Los Angeles, Zhou Yi was inevitably drawn to these worldly affairs and chose to attend the banquet.

In the afternoon, a team of professional stylists arrived at Zhou Yi's villa.

Austin also visited Zhou Yi's home, and as Zhou Yi's agent, he also benefited from receiving an invitation from Beckham.

In addition to the stylist team, Armani staff also came to the Zhouyi Villa.

As a luxury brand that recently signed an endorsement deal with Zhou Yi, they brought their latest designs to style Zhou Yi for the banquet tonight.

"A three-year, $14 million endorsement deal. Congratulations, Zhou. You are now one of the highest-paid players in the NBA and even in the sports world. Of course, for the next three years, you can only wear Armani at banquets and celebrations."

Austin congratulated him with a look of envy, then took a watch from a gloved staff member and handed it to Zhou Yi.

"Look, Audemars Piguet's latest Royal Oak Offshore series, a 3-year, $420 million endorsement contract."

"One of the three pillars of the watch industry, they believe your handsome, sporty image perfectly matches their design philosophy."

At Zhou Yi's home, stylists and staff from various brands spent the entire afternoon working on him.

From rings to watches, from suits to leather shoes, Zhou Yi's entire attire became a showcase for the high-end brands he endorsed.

Beckham's dinner is a well-known high-society event in Los Angeles, and companies all hope that Zhouyi can showcase their brands at tonight's dinner.

This is one of the advantages of living in Los Angeles.

Here, the I Ching, backed by the Chinese and American markets, has gained the greatest commercial value.

Of course, all of this stems from Zhou Yi's current performance on the court.

"Without a doubt, Zhou is the future superstar of the NBA."

In its latest report, ESPN compared Zhou Yi's rookie performance to Michael Jordan's rookie season.

After an afternoon, Zhou Yi finally completed the costume design.

As dusk settled over Los Angeles, a personal driver took Zhou Yi to a charity gala in Beverly Hills.

Holding the charity gala in the villa is very much in line with Beckham's style.

As soon as the car approached the villa, Zhou Yi saw a large number of reporters standing on both sides of the street.

Their cameras were constantly scanning the room, flashes were going off everywhere, and photos of tomorrow's dinner would be on the front page of major newspapers.

The car drove to the gate, where a red carpet led the banquet guests into the multi-million dollar villa.

When the license plate number of Zhou Yi's car appeared, the cameras that had been surrounding the celebrity all pointed at the car door that was about to open, and everyone was looking forward to the appearance of the car's owner.

"Hey, whose celebrity is making their appearance?"

A minor celebrity, who had lost the spotlight, muttered complaints to his female companion, which earned him a glare from her.

"This is Zhou Yi from the Clippers. Yesterday, he led the Clippers to another victory over Kobe's Lakers."

As she spoke, the female companion released her hand from the male companion's and walked towards Zhou Yi's car.

If she could get a chance to appear in the same frame as this future NBA superstar, she could also make the front page of the newspaper tomorrow.

The car came to a stop in front of the red carpet, and Austin opened the car door for Zhou Yi.

The moment the car door opened, all the flashes from the cameras converged on one spot.

"Hey! Zhou, look this way, give us a shot."

"Zhou, which celebrity will you be going on a date with after tonight's dinner?"

Playing in Los Angeles, Zhou Yi has become accustomed to having a lot of flashbulbs in his face.

With a smile and a greeting, Zhou Yi walked into the villa on the red carpet.

The moment Zhou Yi walked into the villa banquet hall, all eyes were on him.

With his towering 2.03-meter height and the latest custom-made Armani suit, Zhou Yi stood out among the Hollywood stars.

Scanning the group of sports and entertainment stars in front of me, many of them are familiar faces who have appeared at the Staples Center.

Just then, Zhou Yi suddenly noticed a bald head.

It's Kobe. I didn't expect to run into him here.
