"At night? Boss, don't we have a visit in the afternoon? Are the two of us going to stay and train? Hoggist felt that Bryant's implication was that there would be a very rigorous training session in the afternoon.

"Of course, the team's collective activities can't be absent, but helping the veteran players carry their bags is also one of the compulsory training courses for rookies, we have a lot of tricks to trick rookies, you have experienced it yourself today, and it is your responsibility to trick new players in two years." Kobe Bryant said with interest, "I heard that you are also a person who has been used to being the boss of the team since you were a child, I don't know if you can adapt to this kind of role change!" ”

It's a common practice for rookies to be rectified, and Hoggist is naturally mentally prepared, not to mention that the Lakers now have veteran players besides Kobe and Ci Shiping? And I'm afraid that no one in the whole team has a higher status than Hoggist, so he wants to serve the old players, but no one will dare to instruct him except Kobe.

After lunch, everyone took the bus to the Badaling Great Wall, and when he got off the bus, Kobe Bryant handed his schoolbag to Hogist, and specially instructed: "This is a limited edition backpack jointly launched by LV and supreme, worth 20,000 dollars, and the things contained in it are also very 'valuable', you help me carry it this afternoon, don't open it, and you must do it without leaving your body, and you are not allowed to take it off wherever you go, even if you sit down to rest, you are not allowed to take it off, understand?" ”

Although Kobe's request was very strange, Hougist didn't dare to ask more, so he had to happily take the bag, but the seemingly ordinary backpack was extremely heavy, and Hougist almost didn't hold it and let the bag fall to the ground.

"I told you to be careful!" Bryant reproached.

"Boss, did you pack all your luggage for coming to China? Why is it so heavy? No wonder you say that participating in group activities is also a training session. Hoggist said, slung his bag over his shoulder.

"It's full of good stuff, you'll know in two days!" Kobe Bryant said with a mysterious wink.

In this way, Hoggist climbed the Great Wall with Kobe's expensive backpack on his back, toured the Forbidden City, and even participated in the pre-game press conference, Kobe Bryant didn't let him take it off. The night before the game, Hoggist dragged his tired body back to the hotel room, and after taking a shower, he was lying on the bed humming a little song and playing with his mobile phone to relax, and Kobe Bryant threw the valuable backpack onto Hougist's bed.

Don't say it, the quality of the bed in the five-star hotel is really good, and the heavy backpack didn't collapse the bed, but almost bounced Haugist out of the bed.

"I'll go, boss, aren't you going to let me sleep and carry it on my back?" Hougist asked, surprised.

"Look at what you say, am I such an evil person?" Kobe Bryant asked with a wicked smile.

"I'd love to say no, but boss, you want me to say yes with a clear expression!" Howgist half-jokingly said, "Besides, HV (Hero Villain) isn't your new logo?" Aren't you showing your villain side right now? ”

"Of course not, you've done a good job of backpacking in the past two days, I'll give you this bag! Now I'm showing my kind side, dear. Bryant waved generously.

Hoggist was taken aback when he heard it, although according to the traditional customs of the NBA, those big stars will give some additional benefits when they call rookies, such as letting rookies run errands and buy things, they will give more money to do errands, but it is really beyond Hoggist's expectations to give such a valuable gift directly, not to mention that Kobe Bryant has not taken out the things in the bag! Do you even give me those things? Hogist asked suspiciously, "Boss, you haven't taken the contents of your bag yet!" Is it for me too? ”

After speaking, Hoggist opened the backpack without waiting for Kobe Bryant's answer, and there were two things in the heavy bag, a 15-kilogram barbell plate, and another 15-kilogram barbell plate.

"Boss, you're not kidding me, are you? Could it be that this is what I've been carrying for the past two days? Hoggist burst into tears, "I respect you so much, I treat you as an idol, and I shout one boss after another, don't take you to be such a fool!" ”

After listening to Hoggist's tearful accusation, Kobe Bryant pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, I treat you as a brother, but you treat me as an idol!" It seems that all my good intentions have been in vain! ”

"Good intentions? Don't...... Is this also one of the devil's trainings? "Hoggist seems to have figured something out.

"That's right, this training is mainly to strengthen your physical strength!" Bryant nodded.

Hoggist's tears flowed even more fiercely when he heard this, "Boss, if you don't say modestly that my physical strength is the best in the whole team, why do you need to strengthen it?" ”

"Rat-eyed!" Kobe Bryant's tone was still stern, "How is your physical strength compared to LeBron?" Isn't G1 as strong as LeBron's last year's Finals cramps? ”

"Isn't that because AT&T's central arena air conditioner is broken?" Hoggist argued.

"Then why don't the others have cramps?"

"Isn't that because other people don't play as long as LeBron?"

"You're talking back to me?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

"I need you to be like Wilt and continue to run tirelessly on the field even if you play an average of 48.5 minutes per game this season!" Bryant said the ultimate goal of training.

"Ako is really strict!" Hogist turned his head to the side and complained in Chinese.

"What did you say?" Kobe Bryant's eyebrows furrowed, feeling that Hougist must not have said anything good.

"It's nothing, I said I understand, and I will definitely continue to strengthen my physical strength in the future!" Haugist replied.

Kobe Bryant nodded with satisfaction, "It's pretty much the same, if you want to be the strongest player in the league, you have to work harder than others!" Oh yes, I took these two barbell pieces from the hotel gym, and you remember to return them when you go! ”

"What? Did you steal the barbell piece from the hotel? I thought you were carrying it from the United States! Kobe's words shocked Hoggist, he didn't expect such a superstar to do such a thing!

Kobe Bryant looked disgusted, "I'm crazy to carry two barbells from the United States?" Besides, what does it mean to steal? I said I took it! I told the gym staff that I needed two 15-pound barbells, and they gave them to me, saying I'd just come back before I left! ”

"What? How much do you think you want? Haugist suspected something was wrong with his ears.

Kobe Bryant thought Hoggist's question was strange, "Two pieces weigh 15 pounds, a total of 30 pounds?" Any questions? ”

"Does this gym instructor not understand English very well, but can only understand numbers? He TM gave 30 kg! More than double the weight of 30 pounds! Hogist wailed.

"No wonder, I just said if there is something wrong with this barbell piece, why is it heavier than I thought." Kobe scratched his head and said, "Then it looks like your physical strength is indeed very good!" ”

"Boss! You're too bad, aren't you? Hoggist's grumbling cry echoed through the corridors of the 17th floor.

On the second day of training, Haugist, who had been relieved of his 30kg load, became more agile and quick. Kobe Bryant wanted to compete with Hoggist on the court before the draft, but he was injured, and now Kobe Bryant, who has returned from injury, pulled Hoggist to try his methods.

After all, Hougist has an advantage in height and weight, and his flexibility is not bad, even Kobe Bryant, who has 9 times one defense and 3 times two defense, can not do anything, Horgist's back-to-back jumper is completely Kobe's routine, but the height difference of 10 cm and the more exaggerated arm span check make Kobe Bryant can only sigh, and the performance of Hoggist, who was just taught by Marbury to be a man on the defensive end two days ago, surprised Kobe even more, Kobe found that if he didn't give his best, It's hard to take advantage of a rookie who hasn't played a single NBA regular season.

"Your defense is really good, even if you have a mess of offense, you can make a name for yourself in the NBA with this defense!" Kobe Bryant did not hesitate to praise his praise, and if the shortcomings should be severely criticized and corrected, then the advantages also need to be praised, so as to give the newcomers a steady stream of forward momentum.

"My defense is following Kawai. Leonard practiced, I was as tall as him last summer, and I think the best defensive player in this height range is Kowai, so I practiced with him for a summer, but I didn't expect to grow a lot taller in a year. Hougist said triumphantly.

"Don't be proud of yourself, although you deserve praise for being an outside player who is shorter than you, but are you strong enough to defend against an interior player who is about your height?" Bryant asked suddenly.

"Just the whole team...... Forget it, I won't compare with my teammates, so you don't have to say I'm short-sighted, anyway, unless it's a pure power type inside, I can defend against the general speed type dexterity! Hougist patted his chest and reassured.

Bryant questioned, "Can you do it?" Then I'm going to see what happens, how about you play inside tonight's game? ”

Hoggist hurriedly waved his hand: "Boss, don't fool me, tonight to play the Clippers, the opponent's inside line is Blake. Griffin and DeAndrew. Jordan, these two are both power insiders! ”

Kobe Bryant thought carefully about what Hoggist said was the truth, "Okay, okay, spare your life tonight, and you don't have to make excuses for another day!" ”

At the game site of Wukesong in the evening, many domestic sports stars and film and television stars came to watch the game, Marbury was really generous, and bought the best position on the sidelines for the whole team, but this is also the home of the Beijing team, so Marbury's tickets should be purchased at the original price, which is a lot less than other spectators on the sidelines.

In the draft, it was well known to fans that Hoggist became Beijing's son-in-law, so Yao Ming set Beijing as the home of the Lakers when he coordinated the China game with Xiao Hua, and the second China game in Dongguan was set as the home of the Clippers.

The Clippers' Paul and Griffin undoubtedly have the highest popularity on the team in China, and the fans cheered when MC Yu Jia introduced them to the venue. Of course, although the two of them are super popular, how can they compare to the limelight Haugist? And Xinyi Qiao even mixed a lot of boos in the cheers when he appeared, and it seems that he violated the verbal agreement and plucked the Mavericks is not well received in China.

Because Jeremy Lin sprained his ankle in training before, he was put on the injury list and could not play in this China match, and could only sit at the end of the bench in a suit, and Haugist also became the only player in both teams to introduce to the audience only in Chinese.

After introducing all the players of the Clippers team and the Lakers' bench, Yu Jia introduced the Lakers' starting lineup in turn. Because of Yao Ming, the Rockets have always been the team with the highest attention of Chinese fans, even the annual lottery championships in previous years did not affect the enthusiasm of Chinese fans at all, and now it seems that the Lakers with Helian Wu have a tendency to catch up with or even surpass the popularity of the Rockets. Even the fans don't know much about the center Miles. Turner, just because he is a college teammate of Haugist, has also received no less cheers than the other Clippers starters, and Randle, who was promoted to the big forward position due to a knee injury Jr., is less popular because he was reimbursed for the season in the first game of last season. Playing at the small forward position is Brandon. Buss, although he has been playing in the league for 10 years, has only 12 points and 6 rebounds in his peak season, and his popularity is similar to Randle's, far less than Miles. Turner.

When Yu Jia finished introducing the three starters, the audience held their breath and let their vocal cords and palms get a short rest, because the main event was about to begin.

Yu Jia stood in the center of the field and introduced in a slightly pretended Beijing accent: "2014 America's No. 1 high school student, 2014 American Mr. Basketball, 2015 NCAA Championship champion, 2015 NCAA Championship MOP, 2015 Changsha Asian Championship MVP, from Ningxia, China, 6 feet 9 inches tall, guard, No. 1——"

Speaking of this, Yu Jia stretched out the microphone to the audience, and everyone shouted in unison: "Helian Wu!" ”

The momentum of Hougist's appearance is overwhelming, even compared to Kobe Bryant who played in the final finale, but the Clippers players are a little unconvinced, Kobe Bryant is naturally popular in the Chinese, he will be treated like this wherever he goes, but why is Hoggist? Just because he's the top pick in the draft? Just because he is Chinese? He is a rookie, enjoying the same treatment as Kobe, which is really unpleasant.

Pierce walked to starting small forward Luke. Bamot whispered beside him: "Little brother, your chance to make meritorious service has come!" Just get that rookie and I promise Rivers will definitely reuse you! ”

Although Pierce's guarantee is very good, but Bamot has also been in the league for 7 years, and he is not a fool, he can also see how good Haugist's level is, he can also see it from the NCAA finals, "Big brother, don't expect me to do this, although I am a defensive player, but my defensive level is also limited, I can't solve such a strong opponent!" ”

Pierce saw that the lure couldn't be lured, so he changed to coercion, "Little brother, if you don't defend against Hoggist, do you expect Chris or JJ to defend against him?" ”

"Hehe, I'm going to defend against Hoggist, do you want Chris and JJ to defend against Randle?" Bamot's rhetorical question left Pierce speechless.
