Zhang Yang was shocked by the Lakers' trio, spent a whole day practicing hard at the training field, and in the evening, after a shower and changing into formal wear, he headed to a downtown restaurant to meet Jordan for dinner as planned.

Jordan's invitations to dine alone were always very formal, and Kobe's were much the same. Zhang Yang didn't know whether the latter was imitating the former or if it was just a common preference among wealthy African Americans.

But, to tell the truth, while that bunch of pretentious and seemingly useless etiquette felt like a burden, Zhang Yang found his mind becoming calmer and his thoughts clearer when he actually observed them... Perhaps this was the real purpose of such etiquette?

After eating a bit to tide themselves over, the two started to chat casually.
