Liu Han, aged 20 years old, 196 cm tall, weighs 190 pounds (about 86 kg), arm span: 204 cm, 78 cm bounce on the spot, 92 cm run-up jump, bench press 208 pounds, 36 meters crossing 4.9 seconds, a not particularly good but relatively good physical data, Liu Han's physical fitness has increased greatly after coming to the United States for two years.
"It's not bad, you can pay attention to it next." Lakers head coach Del Harris thought in his mind.
After finishing the physical test, Liu Han came to Safina on the sidelines, and a group of young people participating in the trial were warming up.
"How's it going, feeling nervous? Ha, probably not, I've never seen you nervous, except when you're kissed by me. Safina hopes that her words will allow Liu Han to relax a little more in the upcoming tryouts.
"I'm not nervous, Savin (Safina's nickname), I'm a little curious if that Kobe has improved over the past year, we fought against each other once last year." Liu Han has a lot of confidence in the tryout, because he now knows more about his strengths and characteristics, and he has a lot of time to think about these after the injury.
"Well, that's good, do a good job, and let these guys with their nostrils in the sky taste your awesomeness." When Liu Han came to participate in the trial, the group of young people around him except for Kobe Bryant who knew something about him and did not show too much arrogance, the rest of them looked at Liu Han with their nostrils, they didn't think how powerful an NCAA MOP could be when he had just recovered from an injury, not to mention that he was still a yellow race, and in their influence, yellow people were very soft.
After the physical test, according to the arrangement of many coaches of the Lakers, Liu Han and the young people who participated in the trial together began to conduct simple shooting training.
Liu Han used his right hand in the first two attempts, two shots and one hit, and the next shots were all left-handed, except for another time because of the slightly louder bounce out of the basket, the other shots were all steady hits, just started shooting, Liu Han still didn't find a little feeling.
Kobe Bryant's shooting has changed a lot from his performance a year ago, and he has been a lot more stable, although he is not at the same level as Liu Han, but the young people in the tryout are also top-notch.
Lakers head coach Del Harris watched the performance of the young people on the trial on the sidelines, Liu Han's shooting ability was recognized by him, and Kobe's performance also made his eyes shine, you know, Kobe Bryant, a young man, is very optimistic about the general manager Jerry West, Jerry once said in the exchange with Del Harris that he would keep this young man at all costs.
After the shooting training, the young people participating in the training were one-on-one heads-up, ten balls, the loser was eliminated, and the winner continued. This seemingly child's play confrontation can actually show the confrontation ability and will of the participating team members.
Liu Han's first opponent was a black player about the same height as himself, with good physical fitness and outstanding jumping. Liu Han attacked first, and after hitting two balls with long-range shots in a row, Liu Han successfully made the opponent think that Liu Han was just a pitcher, and then Liu Han used skillful dribbling and rhythm changes to wash away the player who was fighting against him, and a score of 10 to 2 made everyone who paid attention to Liu Han feel that the strength of the NCAA final MOP should not be underestimated.
Kobe Bryant seems to be more outstanding than Liu Han, although his shooting ability is not as good as Liu Han, but the high school student's technical level and confrontation spirit are one level higher than the training players who played against him, and the 10-0 score also made the training player lose face.
Next, Liu Han and Kobe Bryant defeated their respective opponents respectively, and the rest is the competition between these two brilliant young men.
After Liu Han took the ball, he passed the ball to Kobe Bryant, signaling to let Kobe Bryant attack first, and Kobe Bryant was not polite after receiving the ball, because he knew Liu Han's strength, even if this guy had just experienced a major injury.
Kobe Bryant held the ball at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, three threat actions, and quickly broke through to Liu Han's left side after a tentative step with his right foot, and the amazing speed of the first step made Liu Han have to immediately shift his center of gravity to the left side of his body, but Kobe Bryant's right hand dribbled behind his back and pulled the ball back and jumped out directly, his body was very stretched in the air, Liu Han's center of gravity did not keep up, and reaching out to interfere with Kobe's shooting did not work, 1-0, This unruly boy with an explosive head is finally starting to show his amazing potential.
In the second ball, Kobe Bryant continued to attack, he dribbled at a good pace, and his center of gravity was also very low, which made Liu Han unable to break the ball, and once he shot rashly, he would be passed. Kobe Bryant still broke through to the left side of Liu Han's body after dribbling under his two crotches, this time Liu Han kept up with the other party's footsteps, but he still felt a little powerless in the physical confrontation with Kobe, after all, he had just begun to resume training, Kobe Bryant relied on his physical advantages and speed to squeeze Liu Han away and then hit a low-handed layup, 2-0.
"It seems that this Oriental man's physical confrontation is a little worse, but he plays point guard, and this height is very advantageous." Lakers head coach Del Harris thought from the sidelines.
In the third ball, Liu Han still failed to organize Kobe's offense, and he didn't see it for a year, and this original "courage" boy gave Liu Han a big "surprise".
In the fourth ball, Kobe Bryant directly hit three points in the face of Liu Han's defense, Liu Han was attracted by Kobe's previous feints and failed to jump up and block, 4-0.
"Oh, it looks like you're a lot worse than you were a year ago, haven't you played this year? Ha ha. "The leading Kobe Bryant is finally starting to show his insolent character.
"I think you've been nostalgic for the time I beat you all year long, right, then congratulations, you can't really win today." Liu Han saw the persistence and pride in his heart from Kobe's gaze, and he didn't get angry because of Kobe's words, as long as it wasn't very annoying discriminatory words, Liu Han wouldn't be angry.
On the fifth ball, Liu Han finally let go of Kobe's attack, no, it should be said that Kobe Bryant's own mistake gave Liu Han a chance. Conversion of the ball, 0-4.
It was Liu Han's turn to start attacking, and he posted Kobe Bryant as soon as he got the ball, and Liu Han's three-point shot left a deep impact on Kobe Bryant when the two faced off last year, and he didn't want to be humiliated by the opponent's shooting again.
Liu Han holds the ball in the face of Kobe's close defense, dribbles to his left side when he tries to step with his left foot, and then immediately takes a large range of body in disguise and then retreats to step back and shoot a jumper, this set of actions is Liu Han is used to practicing after the game and injury recovery training, Kobe's defense is very in place, but Liu Han's shot is also very stable, the basketball is between the left hand, and the basketball plunges into the net with a strong rotation, 1 to 4.
Liu Han continued to attack, he made a shooting action after receiving the ball, which caused the defensive Kobe Bryant to almost jump, and then he practiced a very skillful change of direction and a step-back jumper, 2 to 4, Kobe Bryant's ball was still in place, but Liu Han's hand felt very good.
Liu Han's third shot was still a change of direction and a step-back jumper, the shot with his left hand was exactly the same as the shot in the first two hits, Kobe Bryant's defense almost reached Liu Han's face, but he still couldn't stop Liu Han from scoring.
Lakers head coach Del Harris finally smiled, and he felt that the young man from the East deserved some investment from the team.
Liu Han's fourth offensive shot successfully broke through Kobe's defense, and his three consecutive changes of direction and step-back jumper finally made Kobe Bryant fall into a mindset, Liu Han's breakthrough did not change direction, but a simple shake made the defensive Kobe Bryant show his center of gravity, Liu Han easily hit a left-handed layup, 4-4.
Next, Liu Han hit three consecutive shots with his own rhythm change and shooting, but after two rounds of heads-up and fierce confrontation with Kobe, Liu Han, who had just recovered from the injury, finally felt some fatigue, although he has been back to training for two weeks, but his body has not yet recovered to his peak state, in the face of such a fierce confrontation, Liu Han showed fatigue.
After Liu Han's missed a shot, Kobe Bryant seized the opportunity to hit Liu Han six times in a row, Liu Han's defense was easily torn apart by Kobe Bryant after lacking physical support, and this arrogant kid finally let Liu Han also taste failure.
Kobe Bryant, who won the game, even raised his hands to celebrate his victory, feeling very happy that he had finally defeated Liu Han, who had brought him humiliation after a year of hard training.
Lakers head coach Del Harris left the arena after watching Liu Han and Kobe Bryant's confrontation, and he felt that the team's goal for this year had been set.
"Congratulations, you're happy to finally win me?" Liu Han's smile made Kobe's good mood disappear in an instant, and he didn't find the other party's loss and dissatisfaction from Liu Han's smile.
"Seriously, I was very unhappy that you won me that time, so I spent a year training like crazy, and I think I surpassed you, and you will be the one chasing me." It can be said that the motivation for the somewhat paranoid Kobe Bryant's crazy training during the year was to defeat Liu Han.
"No, you're not right, the people who really need to catch up are the two of us, because in the NBA, there are countless people we need to catch up, I hope you won't feel tired, come on." After Liu Han finished speaking, he turned around and left, he wouldn't know that his words today made the young Kobe remember it for a long time.
