Chapter Twenty-Four: Kobe's Advice
Master Xu has worked in Los Angeles for many years, and he also has feelings for Los Angeles. Bryant was overjoyed with excitement. After Tyrek told Kobe that Master Xu was the master chef of the restaurant, Kobe also promised to give Master Xu a pair of his own signed sneakers, I heard that Master Xu often went to Staples to watch the game when he was in Los Angeles, and promised to give Master Xu a set of season tickets for the top position, all of which made Master Xu feel dizzy and happy! Immersed in joy, Chef Xu personally cooked a table of good dishes, and when he was about to leave for Teric and Kobe to enjoy, Kobe stopped to eat together.
"Hmm...... Master Xu, your craftsmanship is okay, this taste is really good! Kobe Bryant took a bite of the honey in front of him and couldn't help but admire.
"It's okay...... it's okay," Master Xu touched his head with a smile.
"What's this pot, my God, so fresh!"
"It's ok...... This is the Buddha jumping over the wall......"
"This is a sea cucumber, right? This sauce tastes so good! ”
"Abalone juice deducts Liao ginseng, it's okay......"
Chef Xu burned his own dishes, a variety of cooking methods, exquisite dishes greatly refreshed Kobe's taste buds, this dinner made Kobe eat extremely enjoyable, during which he communicated a lot with Terrick, and began to appreciate and encourage the seniors to the juniors, and later drank some Moutai wine brought by Terek, and slowly the two became less strange, talking like friends.
"Tyreco, I didn't expect your restaurant to taste really good, I haven't eaten Chinese food before, and now it seems that this taste is really rich, and it is really enjoyable to eat!" Kobe Bryant was a little drunk at this time, and his tone was a little confused.
"It's all Master Xu's good craftsmanship!"
"Yes, Master Xu's craftsmanship is really good!" Kobe gave a thumbs up to Master Xu.
"It's okay...... it's okay," Master Xu and superstars like Kobe Bryant have been in a sluggish state all the time eating.
Kobe Bryant turned his head and hugged Tyrek on the side and said, "Brother, I made a friend of yours, I was originally very optimistic about you, but now that you have a taste for the food in this restaurant and an appetite for me, there is no reason not to make you a friend!" ”
"Later, when I opened a branch in Los Angeles, I knew that Master Xu was so good at craftsmanship and was still working in Los Angeles, so I also opened a Chinese restaurant and poached him......
"Brother, you didn't know much about Chinese food before, what kind of Chinese restaurant did you open?" Tyrek teased.
"Yes, I've never seen an NBA player like yours...... But then again, you can only eat once in a while, after all, we still have to keep our diet under strict control, especially in the middle of the season. Speaking of basketball, I'll say a few more words to you. Bryant's expression turned serious, and Tyrek listened attentively.
"From last season's play against you and this game, I see that you do have a lot of room for improvement. The most important thing is shooting, no basket will inevitably limit your strength, but you are still young, as long as you are willing to practice, you can definitely practice shooting with your talent, and I have two seasons in my career where I have a three-point shooting rate of less than 30 percent! Another point, you have nothing to say about your ball control skills, the top in the league, I can't even sigh to myself, and the physical condition can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, but your breakthrough habits I think can be changed, with your physical fitness, you can seek more confrontation and foul making, you don't have to dribble to create space to shoot without interference or less interference, and you have to increase the variability of the breakthrough......"
Listening to Kobe's words, Tyrek was thoughtful, he also knew the shooting problem, he used to remember that he was a player without a basket, and now he has Tyrek. All the skills that Evans had, and the characteristics of not shooting, were also retained. I didn't feel it so obvious in training before, but when I really got to the actual battle, I found that my shooting was really not very accurate. However, his breakthrough Terrick has always been proud, all kinds of cool actions Tyrek once dared not think of, but now they are all done at will, especially his big turn is invincible, he never feels that there is anything wrong with his breakthrough. Now listening to Kobe Bryant's words, recalling the games he has played, it seems that there is indeed a trace of truth, his breakthrough rarely blows the opponent's foul, he relies on shaking and footsteps to throw out space, maybe he is thinking about how to improve himself......
Seeing Tyrek's thoughtful look, Kobe Bryant smiled and patted him, "Okay, brother, don't be in a hurry, you're only 21 years old, and you've played less than 100 games in your career, grow up slowly, your conditions are here, you can do it!" ”
Tyrek pouted and thought to himself, this is actually his fifth NBA regular season game, but he still has to continue to train harder!
"I'm pretty much done, Terek, I'll bring my teammates some of your restaurant dishes to try, okay?"
"Of course it's no problem, Master Xu, there should be fewer customers in the store now, let the idle master cook a few more signature dishes, and send them to the hotel where the Lakers are staying later."
"Good, good boss!" Master Xu hurriedly went to the kitchen to beckon everyone to get ready. After that, Tyrek personally drove Kobe Bryant back to the hotel, while Master Xu drove a van with the exquisite delivery of Penglai Pavilion to follow behind.
"Come on, come on, Master Xu, you send the dishes up......"
"Brother, you're so polite, I'll treat you well next time I come to Los Angeles to play!"
After sending Kobe Bryant away, Tyrek returned to his home, dragged a tired body to take a hot shower, made a cup of hot tea and leaned comfortably on the sofa, today's loss made Terrick think a lot, the previous four consecutive wins did make Tyrek overestimate his own strength and the strength of the team. Today, after talking with a superstar like Kobe Bryant who has been fighting in the league for more than ten years, I found that my shortcomings are not obvious when dealing with ordinary opponents, and I am not so invincible in front of top teams, and in the final analysis, I am just the best rookie. Similarly, the Sacramento Kings were only the second-to-last team in the West last season, and now they still have to put their minds right, the team is not a strong team, and they must face the game with the attitude of a challenger, and they cannot get carried away because of four consecutive wins. Today's defeat should also pour cold water on the rest of the team, I have to admit that there is a gap in strength, but not only myself, the whole team is still young, the season is still long, let's go step by step.
"All I have to do is continue to improve myself and really become a qualified team leader!" Tyrek has a determined eye in his eyes, and if he wants to lead a good team, he must become stronger and have the strength to take charge of the game in the face of adversity!
