Chapter 2 Mamba College
June 30, Los Angeles, UCLA has summer vacation.
In Los Angeles in summer, the sea breeze blows and fills it with a warm atmosphere.
So Kobe Bryant rented UCLA's on-court training hall to carry out training.
"Kobe, tell me how to get stronger." O'Neal was very curious, and almost all of the Lakers' players were there. Eddie Jones, Bowen, Big Ben, Little Fish, Horry, and Curry Sr., the main rotations, immediately gave up their vacation plans and returned to Kobe Bryant after Kobe called for summer training.
"Eat! If you can gain weight while maintaining your agility and explosiveness! Then the entire American professional basketball, no one can stop you. ”
"But you have to be careful to train with a lot of weight at the same time as you gain weight. In this way, you can ensure your athletic ability. Of course, this is also harmful, and your risk of injury and the length of your career may be affected. ”
Bryant handed him his training plan for O'Neal.
"Shaq, you can think about it."
"Is this Mamba Academy?" Stephen Jackson, a young martial saint who was still a little immature, was indescribable to the excitement he felt when he received a call from Kobe.
Are you going to play Kobe Bryant? Even Bowen, Big Ben's undrafted pick can be cultivated by Kobe Bryant into a rotation for top teams, so why can't he do it!
"That's right, Stephen." Kobe nodded, in addition to fighting well, Martial Saint's basketball skills are also comprehensive, what Kobe needs to do is to quickly raise Martial Saint's physical fitness to his peak level. After all, the 19-year-old Martial Saint still looks very thin now.
"I'm not in the wrong place, is this the Lakers training camp?" Marbury and Garnett walked in, and the Wolves twins, who were training in the snow and ice of Minnesota, flew to Los Angeles as soon as they heard of Kobe's offer.
With sunny beaches, who likes to stay in the snow and ice?
"No, this is Mamba Academy." Bryant gave Garnett and Marbury a hug.
"Boss! I'm coming. "Odom and Iverson arrived together.
"It's time for you to call Boss Aaron."
Iverson was noncommittal, he didn't trust this little brother yet, and naturally he didn't care about his attitude.
"Kobe, let's go head-to-head." Iverson had itchy hands, and after watching the finals, he wanted to fight Kobe Jordan.
No one in the nation knew where Jordan was on vacation right now, so Bryant sent out a training offer, and Iverson immediately agreed.
"Later, there is time." Bryant looked at Iverson, his hands itching too.
"It's so lively here." Nash, with long flowing hair and a backpack, walked in.
"Steve, you're here."
"You said you could get stronger, so I came." Looking at the potential stars around him, Nash felt that he had come to the right place.
"Stephen! Don't scratch my beard! "Old Joe has little Curry on him, and little Clay and EJ-chan are following.
"Say it! Tell me how Kobe Bryant trained! Otherwise, your beard and hair will be lost today! "Little Curry's milk is fierce and threatening.
"Xiao Zhan, you're here." Odom gave James a hug.
"Well, I'm here, boss." The 13-year-old James still can't let go, but he still respects Odom very much. Odom, a five-star high school student, often helped him and taught him a lot of basketball skills.
"Oh, Kobe, you're full of talent." Director Zhang led Wang Zhizhi to appear in Los Angeles, dusty, or disgraced.
God knows what they went through, a series of struggles in the country, which made Director Zhang exhausted. But they ended up in the United States.
Roughly stayed, and Director Zhang went back.
And after waiting for Director Zhang to go back, he must have lost his job in the system, and this time he abducted a talented boy in China, which made too many bigwigs dissatisfied.
But he will become Kobe's spokesman in China. paved the way for Kobe, and many ideas that Kobe exchanged and communicated with him made Zhang Weiping breathtaking.
Zhang Weiping wants to make Chinese basketball stronger, and Kobe's plan will achieve Zhang Weiping's ideals.
"Basically, you go to the NCAA for a year, and then you run for the NBA." Bryant suggested.
"Okay, Kobe. I listen to you. Wang Zhizhi pursed his lips, he is a very simple person, he did not go to the United States for fame and fortune. What he pursues is simple, nothing more than the ultimate in basketball.
And the man in front of him is the ultimate in basketball.
"Very good, everyone is in good spirits."
"When the people are all here, let's start the one-month special training at Mamba Academy."
...
"I heard that Kobe Bryant got a training camp in Los Angeles, did he call you?"
Orlando, Hill and Penny sat on the sidelines.
"I shouted, but I heard that they were all rookies, so I didn't go." Penny looked at the players on the field, and he and Hill had similarly organized a training camp.
"Old guys, you don't want to train in the summer." Hill scratched his head in embarrassment, even if he and Hardaway were the future faces of the league, they didn't invite many big names to training camp this time.
A handsome power forward on the court stunned the opponent with a gorgeous dance move, and then stepped back to complete the jump shot.
"Beautiful! Chris is amazing. Hardaway applauded.
"Glenn is also very good."
The queen bee on the court made a direct three-point shot and shot the opponent.
"Well, why don't you poach them into your team, I heard that Chuck Daly has been hired. If you ask him to trade Webb or Royce, you'll be invincible. ”
"This, also depends on the opinions of Chris and Glenn." Hardaway knew that Webb was not happy with the Wizards, and he also had the idea of playing on a different team. But would he be willing to come to Orlando? Hardaway wanted to ask.
"What about you, what about your pistons?"
At the mention of the Pistons, Hill's face fell.
With the decline of Detroit's Motor City in the 90s, his team seems to have fallen to the bottom with it, and there is no hope of a comeback.
This summer, the team has no plans to strengthen it, but only used the 19th pick to get a white interior player like Scott Pollard.
How useful can it be? Hill doesn't know, but it's an indisputable fact that the veterans of Dumas and Thorpe who can play are a year older.
"Why don't you come to our team too?" Hardaway's eyes lit up.
"Come on, there's no way the Pistons will let me go." Hill shook his head, although he was very moved, but he was still unwilling to betray his team, Hill took loyalty very seriously.
"That's just as well."
Both Hardaway and Hill believe they are players that the team will never trade.
Hill knows it's impossible for his team to add reinforcements, they don't have any assets.
And Hardaway was thinking, can he get Hill, Webb, Royce and others to magic? Compared with the management of the Pistons, who no longer have the slightest ambition, the management of the Magic is brainless, but it can be regarded as having some achievements.
