On the morning of January 11.

In Los Angeles, the Charles Drew High School basketball arena, a dilapidated gymnasium with only a few iron stands as stands, was packed to capacity.

Today, Ye Feng, an NBA player who went out of the Drew League, came here to participate in a public welfare event.

The Drew League is actually just a summer league, and there are no games at other times.

But when I heard that Ye Feng was coming, many amateur players and basketball enthusiasts from the Drew League came.

The event has just begun, and Ye Feng promised to give everyone a surprise.

When the words fell, a tall figure appeared, and the scene was silent, and everyone's jaws dropped in shock.

"Kobe?"

That's right, the one who appeared in the arena was Kobe Bryant, the main scoring guard of the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most popular guards in the NBA today.

After a brief silence, the scene went wild, constantly shouting Bryant's name.

Fortunately, this is Los Angeles, and everyone is quite familiar with Kobe, so it is not uncontrollable. With the efforts of the host, order was quickly restored to the scene.

Ye Feng and Kobe Bryant came together and hugged each other.

"Hey, you're here?"

"yes, I'm here to fight you!"

The two whispered, fleetingly.

But that intimate action made someone who cares take note of it, and it is clear that these two guys are not the first time they have met.

After that, the two interacted with the fans under the guidance of the host.

Finally, Ye Feng donated a batch of professional basketball equipment to the Drew League on behalf of his sponsor Under Armour.

Kobe Bryant paid for the construction of a new basketball arena at his own expense.

(There is no comparison with the wealth and wealth, Ye Feng himself is almost out of money to eat, but fortunately, he receives a weekly salary, and he will be paid soon.) ）

After the event, Ye Feng left in Kobe's car and went to Kobe's house together.

It wasn't until the next day that Ye Feng left to join the team and prepare for the game.

The Cavaliers played the Lakers, and the gap between the two teams was very large, and there was almost no suspense.

But the good news is that both O'Neal and Malone will be sidelined, so the Cavaliers are playing against a crippled Lakers team and still have hope of winning.

8 p.m., Staples Arena.

The Cavaliers played in the regular lineup, with Ilgoskas, Boozer, Eric Williams, James, and Ye Feng.

The Lakers played in the remnants, Grant, Medvedenko, Devin George, Kobe, Payton.

The two teams took their positions and started jumping the ball.

Honk~

The competition has officially begun.

In the jump ball, Ilgoskas had the advantage, but when the Cavaliers received the ball, they were interfered with, and the ball was still grabbed by the Lakers.

The Lakers attack first.

Old Payton organized the offense, and Ye Feng defended one-on-one.

Seeing Ye Feng, Peyton was not in a hurry to attack, but showed a playful smile.

"Rookie, welcome back to Los Angeles. Hope tonight isn't your nightmare! ”

Peyton Sr. said with a wicked smile on his face.

"You've got a lot of words, and can make you win?"

Ye Feng asked impatiently.

Old Peyton's face remained unchanged, but his feet began to move, slowly leaning towards Ye Feng.

Obviously, he wants to rely on tonnage to eat Ye Feng, just like in the preseason.

But Ye Feng didn't give Peyton this chance, and whenever Peyton leaned over, Ye Feng would retreat, leaving a proper distance.

In short, don't let Peyton easily fit closely.

Peyton's face changed slightly: "Rookie, it's not small." ”

I remember that at the beginning of the season, Ye Feng strictly guarded his position and did not give an inch.

As long as the opponent presses up, Ye Feng will fight you hand-to-hand. Even if the strength is inferior, it will never retreat.

But now Ye Feng has become smarter and knows how to make concessions.

Concessions, of course, are not just about backing down, but about choosing a better way according to the characteristics of the opponent.

Payton is a kaleidoscope on the offensive end, but as an old-school playmaker, his three-point shooting is actually very poor, with a career of just 31.7 percent.

And he himself doesn't like to shoot three-pointers, and if it's not for that kind of particularly good opportunity, he usually won't shoot. After 13 years as the team leader, he averaged only 2.7 three-point shots per game.

In the small-ball era, you wouldn't believe it was a guard's three-point shot.

In fact, many veteran players have those deep-rooted thoughts in their hearts: the closer you are to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage.

This is also the reason why Ye Feng dares to shrink back.

Sure enough, Payton didn't shoot a three-pointer directly, but followed Ye Feng to invade inside.

But as soon as he enters the three-point line, Eric Williams and James on both sides of Ye Feng can easily assist in defense, and the space becomes smaller, which greatly increases Payton's difficulty in breaking through.

Payton was not in a hurry, he didn't have a chance, and passed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant vs James, No. 8 vs. No. 24, finally ushered in the first showdown.

At this time, Kobe Bryant was wearing the No. 8 jersey, and his fluffy curly hair was cut short, leaving only a thin layer, but he was not shaved as he was later.

As soon as Bryant received the ball, the Staples Arena rang out with all kinds of whistles, cheers, and cheers......

Although Kobe Bryant has been in some trouble in the summer, his place in the hearts of Los Angeles fans has not changed, and he is still the most popular star and the most Jordan-like player.

When it comes to the matchup between Kobe Bryant and James, one thing must be emphasized first.

The two major illusions in the hearts of many fans are that Kobe Bryant has no talent and Maddie does not work hard.

Let's not talk about Maddie, just Kobe. Kobe Bryant has no talent? What a joke!

Don't forget Kobe's first nickname in the league - Peter Pan.

Peter Pan is a title that an untalented player can get?

In fact, Kobe's career can be divided into two ends according to Kobe's jersey number.

During the No. 8 period, Kobe Bryant relied more on talent, flying away and breaking through dunks.

During the No. 24 period, Kobe Bryant relied more on technology, turning his back to jump shots, and smart ball control skills.

Many people say that Kobe Bryant is not talented, all because of the saying that Los Angeles looks like 4 o'clock in the morning.

Kobe Bryant's efforts overshadowed his talent.

Again, it should be corrected here that Kobe Bryant got up at 4 a.m. to train is a real thing, but it is only a very accidental thing.

According to Vanessa, Kobe Bryant just woke up early that day and couldn't sleep, so he drove to the basketball gym for training. That's it.

It's normal to think about it, if Kobe Bryant gets up at 4 a.m. every day to train, and then trains like crazy during the day, and plays at night with such a high-intensity game. Then Kobe Bryant will definitely decline early before the age of 30.

No human being can withstand such intense training, and human endurance is limited after all.

Of course, Kobe Bryant's training is indeed harder and more serious than everyone else, which is an irrefutable fact.

Both Kobe and James like crazy training, but Kobe likes to hone his skills, and James is more enthusiastic about his terrifying muscular head.

Syllable!

Suddenly, Kobe Bryant suddenly activated.
