It's about the 2012-2013 NBA season of rehearsals and imaginations, almost exactly the same as it once was. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But these have little to do with Tang Qian, he is now stepping up his training, almost every day is the gym and training gym and home, three points and one line, and he doesn't care too much about any disturbances from the outside world. In fact, he can choose a "low-difficulty dungeon" to brush the level, such as going to Washington, such as going to Detroit, where he can at least play the starting lineup and become one of the five tigers. But he thought about it for a long time, and still chose to stay with the Lakers, one for his "student fantasies", and the other for challenging himself and facing difficulties.

He knew that Howard was coming, and it was both a challenge and an opportunity.

Why? Don't look at Howard, he must have steadily suppressed Tang Qian in terms of team status, but there is a problem here, that is, "skipping the level to kill monsters", and the upgrade speed may be faster. went to an ordinary team and mixed with the main team, I don't know how long it will take to be promoted to an All-Star, after all, the market in small cities is small, and the strength of All-Star voting is far inferior to that in big cities, this is an undoubted point. And choosing to stay in Los Angeles, choosing to stay in the City of Angels, the situation is different.

What was left for Tang Qian was almost two answers.

Either great.

Either the big bad.

Choose one of the two.

Why can Kobe Bryant quickly become a superstar or even a superstar in the league? Training attitude, personal ability, talent is another thing, in Los Angeles, it is also absolute. Force. It's a problem that can't be ignored. The NBA is a commercial league, and stars are in the United States, which is largely no different from "stars", so exposure and influence are also a part of the player's career planning that must be considered.

Moreover, Kobe's environment for joining the team back then was actually very bad, not much better than Tang Qian's current situation.

After Kobe Bryant joined the NBA in 1996, the Lakers had two All-Star players on the guard line at that time. A Nick. Van Axel, an Eddie. Jones. Compared with Kobe Bryant, a high school student who has just joined the league, they have fully adapted to the league, and their personal abilities are also quite good. In this environment, it seems that Kobe Bryant will have a hard time standing out. Because as mentioned earlier, players who can enter the NBA are not ordinary people in high school and college, so the team's training and playing time are one of the factors that determine a player's final ceiling. In the NBA, it is not uncommon for super geniuses who are not valued by the team or have not enough playing time to end up in the end, or even completely abolished.

So Kobe Bryant not only stained the light of the big city team, but also poured the mold of the Lakers' guard line too strong, which directly led to his rookie season, with an average playing time of only 15+ per game. Don't understand what 15+ minutes mean when you're a rookie? For example, Nick on the same team. Van Exel, rookie playing time 33+, Eddie. Jones, a rookie with 31+ playing time, is precisely with enough playing time, they quickly adapt to the NBA and grow rapidly, otherwise it is not unusual to become an ordinary bench.

Looking at Garnett, who is also a high school student, he has played 28+ minutes in his rookie season, nearly twice as long as Kobe.

Even Tracy. McGrady, who played more minutes than Kobe Bryant in his rookie season, reached the level of 18+. Not to mention James, Iverson, Carter and other stars, without exception, all grew up from a lot of playing time. It is an indisputable fact that when you are young, you have a strong learning ability, a high absorption capacity, and a fast digestion speed. So no matter what the Lakers say, Kobe Bryant's situation at that time was indeed not good.

But in this case, the Lakers played No. 24, which instantly detonated people's eyes for his ability to show.

This is what is said, "overstepping the level to kill monsters", the front is all dormant, all accumulation, all quantitative changes, once it breaks out, it will immediately soar to the sky, and directly become an all-star peak, or even a quasi-superstar-level player. And in the fierce intra-team competition environment, some players will change their essence and become a mentality killer.

Just kidding, a young man who can take out two All-Star teammates on top will be the strength of the heart of ordinary people?

I say this, will you believe it?

There is another person in the back who imitates Kobe's development trajectory, that is, the "first quartile of the future" James. Harden, he stood out in the cruel environment of the Thunder, and as soon as he was righted, he immediately burst out with amazing energy and directly became a quasi-superstar of the league. Therefore, the road to promotion to stars is not only the traditional "time upgrade method", but also the "leapfrog monster killing upgrade method" created by people like Kobe Bryant has also been proven to work.

Tang Qian weighed himself, even if he went to a weak team with a high salary, he couldn't be in power or become the boss, because his hard ability and the NBA's discrimination against yellow people made it difficult for him to rise quickly. Even if it was Yao back then, wasn't he also known as a "dual-core" in Team Rocket? You've never heard of the term "single-core", have you? That is to say, if it is as strong as Yao Ming and as strong as 25+10 data, then don't want to be recognized as the "only boss" in the United States. What's more, Tang Qian, who was only 2.9+7.9 in the regular season last year? The United States is a "society of implicit discrimination", and if you want to break this barrier, you must be stronger than blacks and whites in order to be equally recognized.

In order to achieve his inner expectations as soon as possible, Tang Qian finally decided to "take risks" and chose a "more difficult shortcut". Besides, with Howard providing pressure on himself, Tang Qian will also train with 120% of his spirit, which can be regarded as a disguised self-whip.

Maybe a lot of cattle. Force. The protagonist, with his own "invincible spiritual aura", can self-cultivate 200% every day without any external pressure or any external stimulation, without sleep, and work 10,000 times harder than others. But Tang Qian doesn't have the talent attribute of "hanging and exploding", he is just an ordinary person, and he also needs to put pressure and strength on himself in order to maintain his concentration and hard work beyond the limit.

To some extent, he is similar to ordinary people in this regard.

In order to force the strongest side, he had to choose to challenge Dwight. Howard.

There was no suspense in the London Olympics, and the U.S. team easily won the gold medal and returned home in triumph.

But in a small gym in Los Angeles, Tang Qian was still receiving, crazy exercise.

"Hey, stinky boy, you can't do this, I heard that the Lakers are coming to Dwight. Howard, you can't handle him like this! Rodman shouted as he swung his baseball bat, "Tell me, what is your goal?" All-Star? Is it a superstar? Well, you want to get there, Dwight. Howard, it's your best stepping stone! Kill him, at least suppress him on the rebound, then you can get closer to the desire, you know??? ”

But you want to hold Dwight down on the rebound. Howard, how easy is it to talk about? This guy is a four-time NBA rebounding champion, and in Tang Qian's impression, this year, in the 2012-2013 season, he will get the fifth season rebounding champion honor in his career. This kind of character is not something that can be easily leveled with an open mouth.

"You're making too slow progress! I've decided to start tomorrow, intensify the intensity, and you with two people! Rodman deliberately said this to Tang Qian, because he found that this Oriental can often exert stronger potential under high pressure. So in order to improve the training efficiency and further stimulate Tang Qian, Rodman decided to conduct an intensive training course in advance.

If you can get this done, then 10+ rebounds a season will be a breeze.

Rodman looked at Tang Qian's tired and left figure, and thought silently in his heart.

He is also an emotional animal, and he has been "getting along" with Tang Qian for so long, and he has somewhat developed a bit of friendship, so his requirements for Tang Qian, unconsciously, have become "harsh".

Hmph, as a person I Rodman taught, how can I be a wreck!

He has to keep improving!

anyway. Practice him, as long as this kid sleeps, he can be a hundred times more energetic! In this way, I also save myself a lot of worries!

The Lakers General Manager's Office, Mitch. Kupchak is meeting with Kobe.

This was the first time that Bryant had met with Mitch since returning from London. Kupchak spoke face to face.

"How's Bryant? Are you satisfied? "Mickey. Kupchak looked at Bryant with a smile on his face.

"Well, I can't help but say, your methods are very powerful, even more powerful than I imagined!" Kobe Bryant is not a person who can't turn his head, so he quickly admitted to Mickey. Kupchak contributed: "This year's goal is only the O'Brien Cup! Western champions, that's all a failure! ”

"That's right, Bryant." Mickey. Kupchak said: "You also know that although the Lakers have formed a lineup of four kings, the continuity of the future is not stable. Especially this Dwight. Howard, he has publicly stated that he will not easily renew his contract before the end of the season. If I fail to win the championship, I think ...... "Mickey. Kupchak didn't finish speaking, but what he meant later, Kobe Bryant knew. Howard is also older now, and he has reached the age of craving championships, even including Nash, who are all rushing to win the championship, if he doesn't win the championship this season, the so-called "four kings" may disappear in one day. It's the same as in 2004.

And the Lakers made such a big move in the offseason, and all teams in the league are now staring at it, and the pressure of absolute gathering also means that the Lakers' game this season, from beginning to end, will not be easy. If you win, people take it for granted, your "Four Heavenly Kings" lineup, it is normal to win; If you lose, the overwhelming doubts and insults will intensify more than ten times and roar. Kobe Bryant has experienced this experience firsthand.

"Don't worry, I'll stop him, don't forget how I beat him in '09!" Kobe Bryant is an extremely confident, even conceited person, so he suddenly spoke domineeringly. "Hehe, that's good, I know, you have the ability." Mickey. Kupchak and Kobe have not known each other for a day or two, so he has long been accustomed to this "black mamba" way of speaking.

Right here at Mickey. Kupchak was about to get up, and when he ended the meeting, Kobe Bryant suddenly spoke and said, "By the way, I heard that you are ready to give up China hot?" Is that what it looks like? "Mickey. Kupchak was slightly stunned and said: "I haven't reached a conclusion yet, but his agent is really asking for too much, and the Lakers' salary pressure this season is a little unbearable." ”

"Can't afford it?" Kobe Bryant looked at Mitch. Kupchek said: "4.5 million dollars a year, can't you afford it?" ”

Mickey. Kupchak spotted Kobe's tendencies and immediately said: "Bryant, this season's salary cap is only $58.04 million, and our total salary now has exceeded $100 million, so the team needs to pay close to $60 million in luxury tax." Although Mr. Bass doesn't care how to spend money in order to build a championship team, but it is also an unacceptable thing to contribute to the league in vain, and for the protection of the interests of the team and the owner, I can't easily agree to China's contract renewal conditions. ”

"$4.5 million to sign him, I don't think it's too expensive." Kobe Bryant didn't give up on the issue and still spoke.

"Yes, but it's not cheap, is it?" Mickey. Kupchak said: "We brought in Howard this year, so that the role of the hot and his role coincides, two athletic interior lines, the Lakers don't need to spend this unjust money." "How can you say that you have wronged money?" Kobe raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Kupchak, aren't you planning for the Lakers' bench?" Howard is good, but can he sustain 82 games? Besides, I remember that his back injury didn't get better, did it? In this case, just in case, I think it is more safe to sign a Chinese perm. ”

Seeing that Kobe Bryant came to "point fingers" at the management again, Mitch. Kupček's heart was greatly displeased, n.n.d! It's not that I've worked so hard this summer to poach Nash and Howard, you think you Kobe. Is Bryant still in the hunt for a sixth crown? You guy, instead of thanking me, are still here to teach me, it's disgusting!

But I think so, I still have to get by on the face, and after all, it's the players who play, not the general manager.

Especially Kobe, who is still the soul of the Lakers, he has to be even more scruples.

"Bryant, you have your considerations, and I also have my difficulties, although the Lakers' annual income is the highest in the league, but this season, there is also the possibility of loss, as the general manager, I can't make the owner lose money, right? So over there, I'll have to think about it. "Listened to Mickey. Kupchak's words, Kobe Bryant knew that he felt sick, because the Lakers' annual income is terrifyingly high, even if they pay more than 60 million in luxury tax, it is still not difficult to have a net income of more than 100 million US dollars. But in the mouth of the former, it completely changed its taste. Kobe Bryant certainly understands that this is Mitch. Kupchak was stopping, and his subtext was very clear, that is, to keep Kobe shut up, and it was not his turn to be "responsible" for the affairs of management.

Normally, it's just that, but this time, Kobe Bryant has to fight for it.

Because he appreciates this Chinese center who "doesn't want to die" from the bottom of his heart.

ps: After reading the book review, Xiaozi reiterated again, I have been watching football seriously since 2002, that is, the year Yao Ming joined the NBA. And Xiao Zi has only chased the regular season of the Rockets, and after Yao Ming retired, Xiao Zi basically didn't watch the regular season, only the playoffs. So, I'm authentic Yao Mi, and I'm Yao Mi again! As for why it is written like this, it is very simple, Kobe Bryant has retired, the coffin is closed, and Los Angeles is a big city, so it is much easier to write. Then, since Tang Qian joined the Lakers, it is to contribute to the Lakers and speak for the Lakers, if Tang Qian is to join the Heat or the Rockets, then contribute to these two, speak for these two, everything is as simple as that. After all, when writing a novel, there are both positive and negative, so don't delve too deeply, Xiaozi's starting point is actually quite simple. (To be continued.) )
