Toyota Center, Los Angeles.

The staff of the stadium were woken up at five o'clock by two uninvited guests.

Since Kobe Bryant's injury, he hadn't heard for a long time who would come over for training so early.

Even when Kobe Bryant was there, in order to facilitate his actions, he was specially assigned a key to open and close the door by himself, and no one needed to do it for him.

Anyone who is forcibly awakened in a clear dream will not be in a good mood.

It's just that at the moment, it's the team management who calls in person, and the stadium manager is not easy to put on a face.

When he saw Manu Ginobili and a Chinese appear at the same time, the bearded administrator looked at Deng Hongfei a few more times with curiosity.

"Haha, we came here to train so early, did you see the administrator's resentful eyes?"

Ginobili laughed as he walked side by side with Deng Hongfei.

"Ha, after all, not everyone is as troubled as I am, and I can't wait to relieve my psychological worries."

Deng Hongfei couldn't laugh at all.

He was under a lot of pressure, but at the same time, he knew that it was impossible to regain a sense of severity after practicing for a little time, and the effect was a drop in the bucket.

But even the most insignificant effect has to be grasped.

"I see that when you weren't bothered before, you went to the gym to start training at about this point." Ginobili pouted.

After finding a basketball, he took off his jacket and started ......

Deng Hongfei shoots, and Ginobili takes on the job of picking up and passing the ball.

Meanwhile......

Outside the Toyota Center training hall.

A low-key Mercedes-Benz sedan pulled over, and a long figure in a purple and gold sweatshirt stepped out of the car and strolled under the lights of Los Angeles.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, his gait dashing, his waist straight, and his eyebrows cold, he walked straight up the steps of the Toyota Center.

The gym administrator, who was about to go back to sleep, heard movement outside, and immediately sat up from the bed again and opened the curtains to check.

Then the figure passing in front of him startled him.

"Hey, Bryant, are you today?"

He immediately opened the door and went out to say hello.

is still the same as in the impression, Kobe Bryant appears alone most of the time, arrogant and alone, and there will be no second person by his side.

It has been almost 200 days since he ruptured his Achilles tendon on April 13, 2013.

"It's nothing, from today onwards, I'm back to training every day."

"Huh? Your body? ”

"I've consulted with the trainer and it's probably not too much of a problem, and recovery training can be done."

Kobe Bryant smiled slightly, "I'm sorry to disturb you, go back to sleep." ”

He waved his hand and turned away.

Looking at his back, the Administrator was stunned, and finally let out a long sigh, "Any success is not for nothing. ”

In fact, in addition to coming for recovery training, Kobe Bryant also wanted to see if the Lakers boys were ashamed and brave.

In the first game of the season, the disintegrating Lakers faced the Warriors and handed in a 30-point defeat.

Kobe Bryant also watched the whole game and witnessed the depression from beginning to end.

The glory of purple and gold is gone, and all that remains is the depression and loneliness after the collapse of the luxury F4.

Pau Gasol is alone.

The team lacks a firepower point that can stand up and speak.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't fully recovered from his injury, Kobe Bryant wouldn't even want to play in person.

In his opinion, after experiencing a fiasco, someone should be stimulated to be competitive in their bones and go to the gym in advance to practice.

And the light that penetrates from the outside to the inside of the passage seems to confirm his conjecture.

It seems that the Lakers still have hope, and the corners of Kobe's mouth rose slightly.

He wanted to see who it was, but when he stepped out of the passage, he saw Ginobili and an Asian with yellow skin and black eyes.

"Huh?"

I was a little stunned for a while.

Bryant knows that tomorrow's opponent is the San Antonio Spurs.

Although the yellow man who was training was a bit of a face, Manu Ginobili was an old acquaintance.

But why is it that it is the Spurs and not the Lakers who are in the arena at this point?

Didn't bother Deng Hongfei and Ginobili.

He watched silently by the sidelines.

However, Ginobili noticed him, turned his head and smiled, and did not come over to say hello.

The young Asian player on the pitch looked engaged and focused.

This kind of energy is undoubtedly what Kobe Bryant likes.

It's just that the shooting percentage is really touching.

Not to mention the continuous collapse of the three-point shot, even the two-point points in some very basic positions are quite unstable.

"What's this messing about?"

After watching it for a long time, Kobe Bryant slowly paced over a little puzzled, patted Ginobili's shoulder, and gently raised his chin towards Deng Hongfei, "Manu, what are you doing here, as a sparring partner?" ”

"Kobe, long time no see, how are your injuries doing?"

Ginobili subconsciously picked up the ball and passed it to Deng Hongfei, but he didn't want the latter to be stunned when he saw Kobe.

was smashed by a basketball knot......

"It feels very good, I should be able to abuse you in another month or so."

Kobe Bryant shrugged his shoulders with a cool chuckle, and his eyes fell on Deng Hongfei, "Little guy, the dedication is good, but there seems to be a problem with your basic skills." ”

As he spoke, he walked onto the court, picked up the basketball that landed not far from Deng Hongfei's side and rolled into the distance.

"This basic shot should be thrown in."

'I haven't stepped on the pitch in a long time, but I wouldn't have a problem with that.

After Kobe Bryant finished speaking, he threw it away, and the basketball obediently got into the basket.

After this period of time, Deng Hongfei also eased from the excitement when he first saw the real body of his idol.

Listen intently and nod your head without stopping.

He looked like a well-behaved elementary school student.

It feels dreamy, like a mirage.

I have tirelessly watched his videos in the middle of the night countless times, brushed his highlights, and learned his movements and offensive routines.

Even started playing basketball because of him.

Unexpectedly, now, that man is really standing in front of him, and he is still holding a basketball to teach himself to shoot.

The dream has finally become a reality......

"Kobe."

Ginobili walked over with a light smile, "My little brother has been in some trouble lately. ”

"He practiced his power too hard, which caused the shooting to fluctuate, so that's what you just saw, how about it, do you have any ways to solve this problem?"

"I see."

Kobe Bryant nodded thoughtfully, "You can only recover through a lot of exercises, and if you are too strong in strength, you may ignore the projection practice, you are normal, reduce strength training, focus on projection recovery training for a period of time to recover, not a big problem." ”

"He's worried about it now."

Ginobili added with a smirk, "He's worried that tomorrow's game won't be good." ”

Then he briefly talked about Deng Hongfei's situation.

"What's there to worry about?" Kobe Bryant's brow furrowed when he heard this.

Although from the team side, the three people present are on opposite sides of each other.

But Bryant didn't skimp on his advice.

"There are a lot of ways you can contribute, and when your shooting ability fluctuates, you can rely more on the basket to get your chances, and you can focus more on the defensive end to let the coach see your highlights."

"What are young people afraid of? Isn't it just a regular season? ”

"Back then, Lao Tzu dared to shoot 4 threes in the last five minutes of the finals in his rookie season."
