Chapter 112 Special Training
"Clarkson, I remember last offseason, you seemed to have trained with Kobe!" The two finished a phase of training and sat on the ground to rest, Zhao Wei asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Hmm." Clarkson nodded. After a period of contact between the two, Zhao Wei found that Clarkson was a very good person to get along with and take care of. And Clarkson is also much closer.
"Then why didn't you stay with him this offseason? Is it because Kobe Bryant is retired? Zhao Wei continued to ask.
"Well, that's not true. I had invited him before, but I was turned down. Clarkson said depressedly.
"Why?" Zhao Wei said in astonishment.
"I don't know. The boss's temper is so cloudy. Clarkson shook his head helplessly, "Nance Jr. and the boss are pretty good, but do you know what Nance Jr. did to the boss before he was drafted?" ā
"What?" Zhao Wei saw Clarkson's mysterious appearance, and his interest was suspended.
"He once shouted that the boss was strong, a female, a criminal!" Clarkson whispered, as if he was afraid of being heard by Kobe.
Zhao Wei covered his mouth in shock. The two eyes were round, and it was obvious that they were surprised. It is no wonder that the Eagle County incident that year can be said to have hit Kobe Bryant to the bottom again and again. Kobe Bryant relied on that inhuman persistence to climb up again and become the signature of the league.
"Be surprised!" Clarkson smiled mysteriously, "But do you know what happened next?" ā
"The boss won't beat up little Nance severely. No, with the boss's temper, he will definitely eat little Nance alive. That's not right, you just said that Nance Jr. and the boss are on good terms now. Thinking about it, Zhao Wei was completely confused.
"Let's tell you how little Nance did it." Clarkson saw the reaction and said, "He texted the boss and asked for the boss's forgiveness." ā
"That's right, but it's more sincere than a phone call." Zhao Wei disagreed, "However, the boss should not agree to such an insincere apology." ā
"Wrong!" Clarkson slashed it with one hand, "The boss forgave Nance Jr. in an instant. ā
"Cut." Zhao Wei had a feeling that he had been tricked, "You deliberately teased me." What I told you about training, where did you go? "Zhao Wei is going to do something to Clarkson.
"Young man, don't be in a hurry about anything." Clarkson put on a senior look, "What I mean by saying this to you is to tell you that the boss never needs a reason to do things. He likes that even if you make mistakes, then he will forgive you. If he doesn't like it, then no matter how perfect you are, you don't have a good time. My goal this offseason is to gain weight and make my body more confrontational. I let the boss accompany me to practice this kind of training, isn't that looking for death! ā
"He likes little Nance?" Zhao Wei asked curiously.
"No, what he likes is the attitude of Nance Jr. Hard-working, passionate, and hard-working. Clarkson shook his head.
Zhao Wei was overjoyed, got up and ran towards the house.
"Young people, they just can't bear it." Clarkson said this, but a smile appeared on his face. After training these days, he feels that Zhao Wei is very potential. So he was very happy that Zhao Wei could get Kobe's guidance. That would be a huge help to the team.
Zhao Wei excitedly dialed Kobe's phone. The phone was ringing, but Zhao Wei was in trouble, he didn't know how to call Kobe Bryant when he opened his mouth. Instructor? No, Kobe Bryant has said that he will not declare himself as the coach of the Lakers to the outside world. Bryant? No, isn't that looking for a draw, not respectful at all. Predecessor? No, it's too distant. ......
"Hey."
Zhao Wei is still in trouble, and the phone has been connected. Hearing Kobe's voice, Zhao Wei was excited and blurted out: "The boss is good." ā
Kobe, who was in the room helping his wife catch a bird that flew to the house out of nowhere, was startled. This girl can't be some underworld brother who calls his mobile phone.
"Oh, you're typing it wrong. I'm not the boss. Kobe Bryant made his voice sound as kind as possible, but after years of accumulation, there was still a hint of coldness.
"Oh no, big brother, no. Hey, Boss. . Zhao Wei was inappropriate several times in a row, and scolded himself anxiously.
But Kobe Bryant on the other end of the phone didn't sound like that. I'm going to go and scold without saying anything. Is it true that I am a soft persimmon?
"Where are you kid?" Kobe Bryant snorted, rolled up his sleeves and prepared for a date.
"I'm the No. 28 show this year." Zhao Wei knew that he was in trouble, and said weakly.
Which one is this, Kobe Bryant is depressed. It suddenly occurred to me that the three rookies just selected by the Lakers this year happened to have a No. 28 pick. He was quite impressed by the No. 28 show. Because of Kupchak's apparently loss-making deal and Zhao Wei's skin.
ZG is an extraordinary country for Kobe. Here he is like a king. Even LeBron James and Stephen Curry, who are now in deep trouble for the league's No. 1 player, have to stand aside when it comes to ZG.
60e is not called for nothing. However, although Kobe Bryant has a deep affection for ZG, he is not too optimistic about this year's No. 28 pick, because so far only Yao Ming has really succeeded in the NBA. And he's still an insider. So far, there is no defender to gain a foothold, and even Sun Yue, who was selected by the team that year with excellent talent and was valued by himself, has not been able to gain a foothold and has been a water cooler administrator for a season. So Kobe Bryant had a hard time convincing himself that he was bullish on the No. 28 pick.
"Zhao Wei, right?" Bryant said.
"Yes." Zhao Wei responded.
"Call me, what's the matter?" Bryant asked.
"I, I want to be able to train with you." Zhao Wei plucked up his courage and said.
"Nope." Kobe Bryant didn't even think about it and decisively refused.
"Oh." Although Zhao Wei heard a lot from Clarkson, he was still very sad when he really faced it. There was even some anger.
"Goodbye then." Kobe didn't care if Zhao Wei was sad or not, and hung up the phone directly. There are more players who want to train with me, and I can't agree to every single one.
Vanessa walked in with a pregnant belly and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ā
"Oh, a rookie from the Lakers wants to train with me." Bryant said.
"Great, you are bored at home every day." Vanessa said happily. Although Kobe Bryant has retired, he knows that his husband, who is obsessed with basketball, will not really leave basketball, even if Kobe Bryant has made himself a perfect husband.
"I refused." Kobe Bryant said with a shrug.
"Why?" Vanessa asked, confused.
"Do you know why the league's superstars didn't become coaches after they retired?" Without waiting for Vanessa to return, Kobe Bryant continued, "They've done a lot of great things in the league that some average players can't do in a lifetime. And in the eyes of superstars, it is a common thing. So he unconsciously asks the players to do that in training. And this is not the best option for those players and can ruin a person's career. ā
"Oh." Vanessa answered honestly.
"Rejected, huh?" Clarkson doesn't know when he will be back.
"Ahh Zhao Wei agreed in disappointment, "You already knew that I would be rejected?" ā
"Of course." Clarkson laughed.
"Then you still let me fight." Zhao Wei said resentfully.
"Haha, so you're hit? I asked you to fight because I had been treated this way in the first place. Clarkson said.
"And how did he agree in the end?" Zhao Wei seems to see hope again.
"We're very few of our low-ranking rookies who know us. So what you're going to do is very simple, you're good enough, all you need is for Kobe Bryant to know you. Clarkson said.
Zhao Wei's eyes lit up, and he got up and went to clean up his things.
"Brother, you don't have to invite me to dinner, the best thank you is that you can let us win a few more games in the new season." Clarkson's voice came from behind him.
It was early in the morning at four o'clock in Los Angeles, and the sky in the distance had just turned white. At this time, the air is the freshest time of the day, and breathing into the body, Zhao Wei feels that he can purify every cell in his body.
Wearing a gray pullover tracksuit with headphones. Zhao Wei ran on the streets of Los Angeles in the early morning. And his destination was the Staples Center.
By the time I arrived at the Staples Center, sweat stains were already visible on my clothes. Zhao Wei's breathing was also much heavier. However, Zhao Wei did not rest, but directly picked it up and went to the court to start shooting training.
The focus of the exercise is on three points. With the rise of the Warriors, the three-point has gradually become a situation in the league today. And Zhao Wei also knows that he is likely to play the role of a pitcher in the new season. And this will also be a weapon to get more playing time for yourself.
One-goal, two-goal ...... Zhao Wei keeps shooting, scoring every ten goals in a group, but if one does not score, the group will start over.
As the shot progresses. The sweat on Zhao Wei's body continued to increase, and the sweat on his forehead had slid down his cheeks.
Click! The entrance door was opened. Kobe Bryant, dressed in a black tracksuit, came in.
When Kobe Bryant walked into the arena, Kobe Bryant's body paused significantly. He didn't expect someone to come earlier than him. However, he was not surprised by this, and walked to the other side of the court with the ball.
That's it, early morning in Los Angeles, Staples Center. The two of them are training themselves in their own worlds.
Bryant practiced a variety of basic exercises such as dribbling, breaking, back-to-back, and shooting. When all the exercises were done, Bryant packed up his things and prepared to leave. And Zhao Wei was still practicing shooting in his own half, and at this moment Zhao Wei seemed to be a shooting machine, letting the sweat drip down, and he didn't know that he was tired at all.
"Hey." A voice interrupted Zhao Wei's shot.
"Hello." Zhao Wei looked at Kobe Bryant with a little embarrassment. With such an obvious intention, Kobe Bryant naturally saw through it at a glance.
"Would you like to have breakfast together?" Kobe Bryant didn't seem to see through Zhao Wei's intentions at all, and said with a smile.
"Ahh Zhao Wei was stunned, he didn't expect Kobe to say this, he was ready to meet Kobe's anger, and then nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Okay, good." ā
Breakfast was invited by Kobe. The two of them didn't talk to each other while they were eating. But just as he was about to finish eating, Kobe Bryant was the first to speak.
"You need to change your shooting hand. Although your height is in the middle of the pack among players in the same position, if you shoot too far forward, you can easily be distracted by your opponent. And if the shot is too far forward and the ball is too far away from your central axis, it will be difficult for you to control the direction of the ball. So even if you shoot a lot of baskets, it's hard to improve your shooting percentage. ā
"Hmm." Zhao Wei was happy in his heart, and nodded seriously like a primary school student.
Kobe Bryant was obviously very satisfied with Zhao Wei's humble attitude at the moment, thinking of when he went to study Olajuwon. Nodding his head, he picked up the phone.
"Hey, I'm not going back today. Oh no, I need two weeks. ā
Hearing Kobe's words, Zhao Wei was already happy and wanted to jump up, but he suppressed his excitement and sat there honestly.
In this way, Zhao Wei began to train with Kobe. And Kobe Bryant is really an acute person as rumored.
Training began the moment Bryant made the call. Zhao Wei finished breakfast while squatting. Zhao Wei's strange movements attracted the attention of countless people in the restaurant, and Zhao Wei blushed in shame.
arrived at the arena for the whole morning of training, Kobe Bryant completely arranged Zhao Wei to shoot. First of all, he had to change Zhao Wei's shooting hand.
Just changed his hand shape, Zhao Wei felt that his shooting didn't feel anything at all, either the power was too big or the strength was small. After failing to score dozens of shots, Zhao Wei's mood became impatient. But Kobe Bryant didn't have any intention of comforting Zhao Wei, just passed the ball to Zhao Wei mechanically.
Zhao Wei couldn't shoot again. The moment he received the ball, Zhao Wei didn't rush to shoot anymore, took a few deep breaths, and adjusted his breathing. Zhao Wei's eyes were slightly closed and he stood there quietly. And Kobe Bryant still didn't bother Zhao Wei at this time. Quietly stood in his position and looked at Zhao Wei, but the corners of his mouth rose imperceptibly.
Zhao Wei thought about the last shot in his mind, looking for that feeling. Just now, my strength was smaller, and the arc was a little low. After calculating everything in his heart, Zhao Wei opened his eyes. At this time, Zhao Wei's eyes were bright, and he swept away the previous depression.
Confidently raising his arm, gently pressing down on his wrist, he threw the ball in a perfect arc. And the ball just shot hasn't gone in yet.
Yes!
Zhao Wei had already clenched his fists and let out a low shout.
With Zhao Wei's low drink, the ball went into the net.
Kobe Bryant finally smiled at this time and came over to high-five Zhao Wei.
With the first goal. After that, Zhao Wei became more and more smooth, and the shooting rate became higher and higher. Zhao Wei also felt that his shot was getting better and better. The ball is in its own hands, more and more like a part of its own body. (To be continued.) )
