Chapter 237: The Chinese group makes its debut
This is Kobe Bryant's style, and he is also strict in training, forcibly exerting game-like psychological pressure on his teammates, and if he can resist his pressure in training, he will no longer be easily disturbed by opponents in the game.
Needless to say, Hoggist's ability to resist pressure is needless to say, just now the ball was only stuck on the neck of the basket because it was covered by Yi Jianlian to change the route, he listened to Kobe's provocation and took off the basketball from the basket neck back to the top of the arc, while dribbling while waiting for Kobe and Yi Jianlian's bag, and when the two pounced, Hoggist raised the arc with his left hand and threw it, the arc of the ball was close to Nowitzki's golden rooster independence, and the ball fell almost vertically into the basket.
"Boss, don't blow it, I don't think it's difficult to shoot with your left hand!" Hogist replied triumphantly.
"Boy, you actually hid a hand in front of me, your left hand is doing well! I saw that you dribbled with your left hand quite steadily, so you shouldn't be left-handed, right? Bryant questioned.
Hougist raised his left hand and spun the ball on his fingertips and replied: "Haha, how is it possible, I can easily beat the Clippers with my right hand, if I am really left-handed, then you should call Jordan left-handed Horgist!" β
At dinner, Hoggist and Kobe introduced Yi to the rest of his teammates. Although Yi Jianlian is also a veteran of the NBA, the Lakers know that there are not many old players left, but among these few old players, there is actually another old teammate of Yi Jianlian, that is, Nick. Poplar.
Nick. Both Yang and Yi both played for the Washington Wizards during the 2010-2011 season. Yang was nicknamed the singles king for his outstanding performance that year, while Yi Jianlian was mediocre and did not get a contract extension from the team. The two old teammates were also full of emotion when they met, and they didn't expect to be fated to reunite with the Lakers.
With Hoggist, Kobe Bryant and Nick. The relationship between the three Yangs, coupled with the Chinese-speaking Jeremy Lin, even the introverted Yi Jianlian quickly integrated into the team. In the pre-match training the morning of the next day, Haugist found that Yi Jianlian was always a little hesitant to get the ball after the blocking, so he pulled Yi Jianlian aside to talk.
"Brother Yi, shoot directly when you get the ball! Shoot faster, and as soon as you hesitate, the opponent's defense will be made up! Hoggist persuaded.
"Can I just shoot the ball like this? What if I can't make it? I'm not on the inside and no one grabs rebounds! You can't let a big star like Kobe Bryant run back with me, right? Yi Jianlian voiced the doubts in his heart.
Hoggist shook his head, "Brother Yi, your thinking is completely wrong, we are playing tactics, not human feelings, according to the tactical arrangement, the ball should be passed to you, if you can't shoot, it's just a waste of opportunity, if you can't shoot, you can practice harder in normal training, but if you don't shoot, it's not only a waste of opportunity, but also a violation of the team's tactical arrangement, you can't strictly implement the tactics, how can you let the coach rest assured that you can use you?" To put it mildly, if you have my level and have your own tactical system, or you have super personal ability, you can ignore tactics and do what you do alone, then the coach will definitely not mind violating tactics, but at present, you don't have that level, big brother! Therefore, we must strictly implement tactics on the field, and our team, including the new Chinese team, tactical execution is the first priority! Brother Yi, you work hard to adapt, we have a tacit understanding in the Lakers, and next year's Olympics will definitely be much easier! Although there are many NBA players in other strong teams other than the United States, there are only ones like us who can play on the same team for a season, and this is the advantage of our Olympic Games next year! β
Yi Jianlian nodded, "Why are you so powerful at such a young age?" Want to ask the question so thoroughly? In addition to my poor English, I was also a little timid, if I could be like you, I would definitely be able to play in the NBA! β
"It's not that I see it thoroughly, it's just that I've lived in the United States for a long time, I know them better, and I ...... with these Americans," Hougist suddenly covered his mouth and lowered his voice, "With these Americans, especially these old blacks, we don't need to be polite, anyway, their brains can't turn that corner, just say anything to them and go straight to the point." β
"Okay, when I was in the Guangdong team, there was a little foreign player named Moodier, you know, right?" Yi Jianlian asked.
"Yes! I played the McDonald's All-Star Game with him, or I suggested that he accept your contract, and I also warned him not to use his brain in China, and to use his brain more when talking and doing things! Well, when he's on your team, he's not as good as the other black guys, right? Hoggist said.
"I still want to tell you about this, after Moodier came, he was polite to everyone, the first Chinese he learned was 'brother', he called everyone when he saw him, and from time to time asked us how to get along better with everyone, I said how he was so up-to-the-road, it turned out that he had to be too high-level to guide ah!" It seems that I should learn to follow the local customs and act according to the ideas of these Americans, just like him. Yi Jianlian suddenly realized.
Hoggist waved his hand repeatedly, "The master doesn't dare to be, it's just a little clever, Brother Yi, you can figure it out, we three Chinese must be united in the team, we don't bully others, and we must not let others bully." β
"What are you two whispering? Get back to training! Coach K urged on the side.
"Want to know? I'll teach you Chinese! "Hougist teased the old Coach K with his backhand.
In the second China game of the evening, although it was set as the home court of the Clippers, it was a pity that Paul injured his hand and had to change into a suit and be a spectator like Jeremy Lin, which directly led to the avalanche of popularity of the Clippers, not to mention the sudden explosive news that Yi Jianlian, a local star, joined the Lakers.
So in the Dongguan Basketball Center, it once again became a sea of Lakers fans, Yi Jianlian's popularity at the entrance ceremony even surpassed Kobe, the Clippers were on fire in Beijing, although they lost Paul, but they still wanted to take revenge, they identified Yi Jianlian as the weakest point in the Lakers' starters, Griffin frantically impacted Yi Jianlian at the beginning, but Yi Jianlian as a standard devil muscleman, defending Griffin's strong play does not suffer, and Yi Jianlian is tall and long, but can easily interfere with Griffin's shooting, There is no engine than the fast, and it is harder than the high Jordan with two fists and four hands, and it is not worse than the hard Lakers, the Clippers have to swallow the bitter fruit again, and Yi Jianlian has been much more resolute after Hoggist's "point", he has a hand to shoot 7 of 10, plus free throws, and scored a total of 20 points, second only to Kobe's 27 points to become the second scoring point. In this game, Hoggist conceded many opportunities and cut a triple-double of 20+10+10, but 20 is the number of assists, and 10 is the scoring and rebounding.
Two exciting offensive battles were staged for fans in China, and Hoggist and the Lakers attracted countless fans, and fans gradually began to discuss whether such a Lakers team has the quality to compete for a championship. However, after all, it was only two preseason games, and the opponent also injured the tactical core, and many people thought that these two big wins were not enough to test the Lakers' quality and strength to play tough battles. However, this makes fans look forward to the start of the new season even more, after all, the Lakers' home opener opponent is the same talented Timberwolves, Wiggins + Towns + LaVine rookie triumvirate and Lakers Hoggist + Kobe Bryant's new and old two-gun combination What kind of sparks will burst out?
Flying back to Los Angeles with the team, Hougist suddenly remembered a very important problem, he had not seen a house in Los Angeles, everyone had a place to live, but he had become a homeless person. Before the summer league, Hoggist stayed in a hotel arranged by the team, and after going home to play the summer league, Hoggist went directly to China and forgot about the house. Now you have to hurry up and look at the property and get your own accommodation before the start of the season, you can't stay in a hotel all the time when the regular season starts, right? After all, having a home is the only way to have more of a sense of belonging to this place!
I thought that Yi Jianlian, who had just arrived, had no place to live like myself, but I didn't expect that there was a beautiful woman waiting for Yi Jianlian at the airport. It turned out that the UAE had already bought a villa in Los Angeles, and he not only had a place to live, but also his wife and children lived here.
"No wonder Brother Yi, you are willing to give up the comfortable life of the CBA to work hard in the NBA, it turns out that your home is here!" Haughist said enviously.
"I'm almost thirty years old, it's normal to have a wife and children, right? But you, who are only 20 years old, are about to have children, and Chinese boys can't get married at your age! I don't know how many Chinese fans will envy you! Yi Jianlian patted Hougist's shoulder, dropped a sentence, and drove home with his wife and children.
Hoggist was in a daze at the airport, and Jeremy Lin walked over, "Helian, let's go, let's go to my house!" Knowing that you haven't found a place to live yet, many people want to invite you to live together, and Kobe Bryant still wants you to live in his house to receive intensive special training every day! But I think he has a lot of children, and they are all daughters, it is not very convenient for you to go, and other people are basically dragging their families, only I am a single, so I took the initiative to take your accommodation, but the place I rented is an apartment not a villa, there is no jacuzzi pool court and other advanced configurations, can only ensure daily life, I hope you don't dislike it. β
"All I need is a bed, and I'll find a place to stay before the season starts in the next few days." Hoggist said gratefully.
Jeremy Lin suddenly showed a nostalgic smile, "I think I slept at my teammate's house when I was in New York, but at that time I only had one sofa, and you were much happier than I was then!" β
Hoggist said apologetically: "I'm sorry, if I had been tougher back then, I could have made you join the Spurs, and now maybe your achievements will be even higher!" β
"What are you talking about? I can't blame you for that, and if it weren't for these coincidences, how could I have come to the legendary team of the Lakers and have the opportunity to attack the championship with you! Jeremy Lin patted Hougist on the back and comforted, "I'll accompany you to see the house in the afternoon." β
The two walked out of the terminal while chatting, but there was a familiar shadow waiting in the VIP passage to the garage. Hougist rubbed her eyes, for fear that she would recognize the wrong person, but this blonde ponytail, although the baseball cap and sunglasses covered most of her face, but the exposed sexy lips could also confirm her identity.
"Chloe. Molize? Why is she here? Haugistre grabbed Jeremy Lin and turned around to run, but he saw Kolo, who was dressed in a low-key manner, and Chloe naturally saw him with obvious characteristics.
"Helian Wu!" A standard Chinese Mandarin really called Hogist. Hoggist had no choice but to turn around and meet him.
Chloe feigned anger and asked, "Why did you run away when you saw me?" β
"No! I just suddenly remembered that there was luggage left inside, so I went back to look for it. Hey, when did you learn Mandarin? Haugist suddenly reacted to Chlo. Molise has been speaking Mandarin all the time, and her accent seems to be more standard than herself.
"Haha, I learned Chinese from my sister, and recently there was a new drama that required me to speak Chinese. My sister knows that you haven't found a place to live in Los Angeles yet, so she asked me to help you find a house, and I have already arranged it, and my sister said that your plane arrived today, so I will pick you up and take you to your new home in LA. Moriz said smugly.
"Sister?" Hoggist didn't react for a moment.
"It's Sister Qiu! I often went to see her during your absence, and the relationship between the two of us heated up quickly, and we can now say that we are like a pair of lilies! Moriz winked at Haugist.
Haugist almost couldn't believe his ears, this female movie star who used to stalk him was actually both men and women, and got his pregnant fiancΓ©e? Haugist trembled and couldn't speak, "You...... You ......"
Molise smiled even brighter when she saw Haugist's angry appearance, and ran at Haugist, grabbed her hair with her right hand, and slid it from behind her ear to her chest, doing her best to tease, "That's right, I took advantage of my sister!" Do you want to take advantage of it? Then come at me! β
Hoggist saw Molise like this and knew that she was probably teasing herself, so he said angrily, "Will I believe you?" My 5-year relationship with Li'er can still be poached by you? Is the house thing real? I've decided to stay at my teammate's house for the time being and then look at the real estate market to find a house, and if it's true, I'll save trouble. β
Moritz took out her mobile phone and opened the photo album to show Haugist the interior of a villa, "Sister did ask me to help you look at the house, but I have already bought it for you, right in Beverly Hills, opposite my house, the previous owner was Paul. Luther is also a Hollywood star, have you watched "Friends"? He plays Mike in it. β
Hogist shook his head, "The name of 'Friends' is thunderous, but it's a pity I haven't seen it. β
