Holding a glass of cold beverage, Li Du and the giant-like O'Neal entered the second story of the house.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”This is my gym. If you like sports, then you might find what you see down there very beautiful,” O'Neal said as he pushed open the door.

It was a huge room that spanned across more than fifty square meters. Team uniforms were hung up on the wall. There were jerseys of basketballers, rugby players and other sports.

Among them, the one that hung in the front was the Lakers' Yellow No. 34. It was the jersey of O'Neal when he played for the Lakers. The few jerseys behind it had O'Neal's name on them too, and the colors were different. They looked like they would make up the colors of the rainbow.

As one of the top ten players in the history of American basketball, O'Neal had a rich history of playing for many different teams during his career.

He owned all the jerseys on the wall. The other three jerseys belonged to other sports stars and had their signature on them. From Tiger Woods to Federer, Li Du also saw other jerseys with the signature of the Chinese player Yao Ming and the gymnastics prince Li Ning.

Noticing that Li Du was looking at Yao Ming's jersey, O'Neal grinned. He said, ”Yao, yeah, he is my buddy, you must be familiar with him? He is one of the most admired players, and he is also a wise guy. He changed my views on you Chinese people.”

The narrative between O'Neal and Yao Ming was unclear. At the beginning of the latter's entry into the US professional basketball team, O'Neal had certain opinions about him. That was because after Yao Ming entered the scene, O'Neal was no longer able to be a starting player of the Western All-Star team.

Because of this, O'Neal would always make things difficult for Yao Ming. To be honest, Yao Ming was no match for O'Neal. Even after the latter got on in years, he was still able to beat Yao Ming.

On the basketball court, O'Neal was the sort of big star that comes around once in fifty years!

Later, with the decline of his career, and when Yao Ming became more powerful, O'Neal changed his attitude towards the Chinese player. In addition, Yao Ming also used his outlook on life to win the admiration of O'Neal himself and his family.

There were some trophies and medals on the table in the gym. They were the evidence of victories that O'Neal had gained when he was young, including the NBA championship trophy and Olympics medal.

In addition, there were many photographs in the room. Among them, there was one where O'Neal and Kobe hugged each other, smiling widely.

”You've watched the news that time, when they said that Kobe and I are enemies and that we hate each other to the core, right? In fact, that was exaggerated. We were often complaining about each other, but remained friends. It's just that we were not as close as before.”

Looking at the photograph, O'Neal started to smile. He said, ”I hated him before, but I never thought of him as an enemy. Otherwise, would I still keep this photo here? Would you?”

Li Du coughed. ”Perhaps I would. If I have enemies, I would hang their photos on the wall and then practice shooting at them.”

With that, he started to laugh.

O'Neal laughed too as he patted Li Du's shoulder and said, ”Ha, you are as witty as Kobe. I've done that before. I've torn up hundreds of his photos!”

Of course, that was a joke. Unlike Kobe, O'Neal enjoyed joking.

After laughing, he became serious again. He said, ”If I wanted to do that, I would hang up the photo of us together. Since the photo has both of us in it, of course I wouldn't shoot.”

Li Du nodded. ”I understand. You still view him as your good friend.”
