"Where were you hiding when I crashed into Ingram?"

"Me? I'm standing right behind you, just outside the three-point line, a little bit away from you. "It was Kyle Kuzma who said that. He is borrowing a tethered elastic rope to exert force with one foot to exercise the explosive power of his legs. During his time at Kuzma's apartment, he never seemed to be idle. Yang Yiming carefully counted the various kinds of fitness equipment in the living room of his apartment, and there were more than ten kinds of them. This space of more than 30 square meters has been cleaned up to not a living room furniture, only a large full-length floor-to-ceiling mirror, and a TV connected to a video recorder, and all the rest are dumbbells, treadmills, climbing machines, bungee cords, yoga balls, sit-ups, barbell beds and other professional fitness equipment. It's not an exaggeration to say that Kuzma has moved a small gym to his home.

Even the floor-to-ceiling mirrors and televisions that were retained, Yang Yiming guessed that Kuzma survived by adjusting and correcting his posture. In this way, Kuzma is really a fitness freak.

remembered that the two met for the first time at Yang Yiming's home in Houston, Kuzma was looking for Nina for hypnotherapy, and after the end, he only chatted a few words, Kuzma did not forget to chat while doing planks, and did not relax every minute and second.

"Why haven't you finished practicing-" As soon as Yang Yiming opened his mouth, he realized that he had asked in vain: "No, I want to ask you, at that time, you didn't have any impulsiveness at all, and you didn't want to come up to help your teammates?" ”

What Yang Yiming said was naturally that he was at the Staples Arena the night before, and he teamed up with Paul to fight with the Lakers' Ingram and Rondo. At that time, Paul was hit back by Rondo, and he separated Rondo with his palm, and his head was directly pressed against Ingram's chest, which completely detonated the battle.

The league issued a fine that night, Yang Yiming was banned for five games, Paul and Rondo were banned for three games, and Ingram was banned for one game.

"So Yiming, you mean, you also admit that you were impulsive at the time, right?" Kuzma adjusted her body position and switched from her left foot to her right foot: "To be honest, I was watching you do it from outside the three-point line, and of course my blood was surging at the first time, and animal nature replaced rational thinking, and I wanted to rush up and do a big job." But I suddenly saw a man and I immediately stopped thinking about fighting. ”

"Who?" These words immediately aroused Yang Yiming's curiosity.

"Bauer."

"Bauer?"

"yes, that's him. It's that guy Lonzo. ”

"What's wrong with that guy?"

"You didn't see where he was, what he was doing, did you?"

Yang Yiming shook his head. Isn't that obvious nonsense, he thought to himself. He had only one person in his eyes at the time—at best, he could catch a glimpse of Rajon Rondo.

"That guy from Ball, seeing that you guys are fighting hot, you are standing outside the three-point line and not moving. He actually took the time to glance at the scoreboard, presumably looking at the margin and the number of fouls per person, and then Ball looked back at your backcourt, took a few steps back, and stood in the center circle, as if waiting for a quick break opportunity..."

"It's so strange to say that Bauer's behavior!"

"That's right! When everyone was enthusiastically throwing themselves into the group fight, Lonzo Ball, this guy still had the heart to judge the situation, and even wanted to take advantage of any opportunity to sneak attack and score! Kuzma stopped the strength training of his right foot this time, and bent over Yang Yiming, who was leaning on the yoga ball to exercise his balance, shouted in a tone as if he had seen someone put the ball into the basket for the first time in his life.

"So you mean—Bauer taught you to be good?" Yang Yiming worked hard to organize the most appropriate language.

"Nope! He taught me to learn from Him! ”

"Studying?"

"That's right. If you think about it, although he entered the league in the same year as me, in the face of the same situation, I want to go up and help, and Bauer not only has no impulse, but also wants to take the opportunity to earn some points..."

"I don't really think Ball stepped back into the center circle to launch a fast attack..."

"To avoid the land of right and wrong." Kuzma made a gesture to stop Yang Yiming, but nodded his head, probably indicating that he actually knew that in the chaotic situation at that time, it was impossible to drive the ball out and launch a fast attack. Lonzo Bauer simply doesn't want to get involved in this winless mess. "But that's where Ball is better than me. His mind knows better than I do. Don't look at him who usually doesn't like to talk, he drags and drags when he does things, he always has a tense face and never likes to look like a color, and he is reluctant to even high-five his teammates. But he can become last year's Tanhua show, maybe this is their ability. ”

"—his judgment, his judgment of the situation."

As soon as Kuzma's words came out, Yang Yiming was also silent. Although Kuzma and Ball are teammates, the former praised his fellow draft opponents with all the praise he received, which was indeed beyond his expectations. After all, there is more or less competition between players, not to mention that the draft pick overtakes Kuzma's own so many scouts.

"So you really think Bauer is very powerful, so you didn't come up to fight?"

"Of course."

"This..."

"What's the matter, don't you believe it?"

"A little." Yang still can't believe that Kyle Kuzma will learn from Lonzo Ball's every move without any guilt.

"Of course it's true. You see, I'm inspired by this guy Lonzo, and I don't have impulsiveness, doesn't it turn out very well - you're all banned, and I still have the ball to play. Kuzma scooped up a pair of 20-kilogram dumbbells from the floor and lifted them flat at either side of his body.

"So Kyle, are you kidding me?"

"That won't be!"

"And what do you mean?" Yang Yiming couldn't wait to ask.

Kuzma, who was asked, made a few flat moves before he changed his breath, and then said very justifiably and unexpectedly: "I actually mean that you are all very good." You and Lonzo Bauer. And among the players in my draft, I actually admire each and every one of you. I find it challenging to be your opponent. But I'd rather be a shadow, a shadow that can imitate anyone. In the end, my powerful shadow will definitely be a good opponent for you! ”
