Chapter 392: Kobe's Request

"Why? It's Haugist's talent, why should you strangle him? Shashewski asked, puzzled.

Kobe Bryant restrained his smile and said very seriously: "He is only 20 years old, and this is his first season in the NBA!" But if you look at his stats, his record, his true shooting percentage and his win contribution value, what does that mean? These mean he's a player who can set new records, and his mission is to be a presence on the court that surpasses me, and even Jordan, rather than preparing himself for being a good coach after retiring in his rookie season! His full attention should be on honing his skills, and for tactics, he can understand them perfectly, execute them perfectly, and it is enough to show his attacking creativity once in a while! ”

Bryant's tone grew harsh, startling everyone else in the locker room. Hoggist was even more nervous, he didn't want the most famous coach and player in the United States to clash for himself, but just as Hoggist was about to stand up and play the round, Shashewski took the lead in making concessions, "Okay, what you said may make sense, after all, his job is to be a player, but he is really talented in tactics, in my opinion he will surpass John. Kudar, Pat. Riley, Phil. Jackson, Greg. Popovich and I, even Auerbach, so I can't help but want to train him well now! ”

"I'm a little shy when you compete to praise me like this!" Only then did Hoggist interject, "There are so many teammates here, don't engage in personal heroism!" ”

Kobe Bryant didn't pay attention to Haugist, but nodded at Shashewski, "Thank you for your understanding, with Haugist's intelligence, it's too late to start learning to be a coach after the age of 30!" ”

Haugist pretended to be forced at this time, "Actually, my learning ability is still quite strong, I should be able to operate on both lines when I learn tactics and hone my skills!" ”

"You're pretending to be forced again? Where is all that humility? I know you're already happy by now, but don't get complacent too soon, as I said, the second phase of training starts tonight! The rest of you have showered, changed your clothes, and you're good to go! "Kobe Bryant started to chase people out of shame.

"Boss, why is the training so mysterious? We can't even sit on the sidelines, can we? Randall asked curiously.

Kobe Bryant smiled, "It's not that I won't let you watch, it's just that you can't see anything from the sidelines of our training." ”

"As soon as you say that, we are even more curious!" The more Kobe Bryant talked, the more mysterious it became, Nick. Yang was also interested when he heard it.

At this time, Kobe Bryant suddenly changed his tone, "Ell, ell, ell, since some of you are bored and interested in the unseen, it doesn't matter if you stay." ”

"I'm here to stay! I can't miss this opportunity to learn from the masters! "Nick. Young excitedly switched back into his shooting suit.

"Hatever, you can watch here, you can practice along, you can even go home and keep in touch with yourself, but I don't think you can stick to it. It's not that I look down on all of you here, because if you really have that kind of perseverance, you'll be big players before your rookie contract ends! Bryant's tone wasn't too friendly, but it was true.

"Speaking of which, I've really become a big player!" Jeremy Lin raised his hand and said, "Ho about Linsanity? ”

“Shut up!” may have remembered the embarrassment of being beaten by Jeremy Lin at that time, Kobe Bryant directly stopped Jeremy Lin from continuing.

"Then let's go to the pitch together! It seemed that the staff had turned off the lights, and I went to ask them to turn the lights on. Hougist stepped forward to resolve the embarrassment.

But as soon as Hougist got up from his chair, Kobe Bryant stopped him, "No, no, no, there's no need for that, let's go straight over!" ”

"Just go straight over? Are we going to play in the dark? "Nick. Yang said half-jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Kobe Bryant nodded solemnly, "Maybe."

“Maybe?” Nick. Yang was stunned for a moment, he was just joking casually, can this be true?

Everyone followed Kobe Bryant back to the center of the court with doubts, the court was dark, Kobe pointed to the direction of the basket on the side of the court and said to Haugist: "Okay, that's it, let's shoot 100 three-pointers first!" ”

"Are you serious? Where can I see the basket without the lights on? I can't even see where the three-point line is! Hogist shook his head again and again, making a very exaggerated expression, but unfortunately no one could see it in the dark arena.

"No, no, no, that's not what I've heard!" Kobe Bryant's calm joke came from the darkness, "I heard that you don't do a lot of things like shooting with your eyes closed and provoking your opponent!" It's also your forte to pass the ball without watching people, right? Is this any different from shooting a three-point in a dark arena? ”

"This ...... This TM is far from it! Haugist couldn't help but burst out foul mouth, "The movements I did with my eyes closed and without looking at people were all because I had already looked at the distance and position before, and now how do I know where is in the dark?" ”

"It seems that you are still not skilled in your business!" Bryant quipped: "The length of the court is 94 feet (28.65 meters) and the width is 50 feet (15.24 meters). The course is measured from the inside edge of the boundary line, with a line width of 2 feet (5.08 cm) and rectangular penalty areas marked at both ends of the court, 19 feet (5.79 m) long and 16 feet (4.88 m) wide. The three-point line is drawn by drawing two lines parallel to the sideline, each 3 feet (0.91 m) from the baseline, and intersecting an arc centered on the center of the basket and with a radius of 23 feet 9 inches (7.24 m). The radius of the center circle is 6 feet (1.83 m). There are also four marker lines 2 inches (5.08 cm) wide perpendicular to the sideline, each 28 feet (8.53 m) from the baseline and extending 3 feet (0.91 m) into the field. The height of the basket is 3.05 meters. You know by heart that you know where you are, and you can easily judge the direction, distance, and angle of the shot even if you can't see the basket, right? Of course, this is just my opinion as a high school student, and you guys are all college students, right? You are all more educated than me, you come to tell me, does what I said make sense? ”

Jeremy Lin stammered: "Don't talk about them, I, a person who has obtained a degree certificate in Harvard University for four years, sighs to himself, people who do not have a double degree in applied physics and applied mathematics cannot understand and practice this theory at all, your academic level is high school, and the academic level is afraid that it has reached the level of a professor!" ”

Everyone likes to wear top hats, and Kobe Bryant was equally overjoyed by Jeremy Lin's compliment, and his tone of voice became cordial, "Do you Ivy League graduates speak so well?" ”

"I do know that there is a place where everyone is full of talents, and they speak well, you probably like to be in it, right?" Haugist replied angrily.

Although he didn't understand what Hoggist said, Kobe Bryant felt that it must not be a good thing to say, so he continued to scold sternly: "You don't talk nonsense, hurry up and shoot, I'll count you, when to shoot 100 tonight's training can be over!" ”

"It's so dark, how do you know if I've thrown in?" Hoggist regretted it as soon as he asked, there was a black rumbling in the arena, Kobe Bryant definitely couldn't see it, and he just threw 100 balls casually and said that it was all in! Why do you want to "remind" Kobe Bryant more?

Kobe's tone was full of playfulness, "That's mine, you do your job, I'll do mine, that's all, let's get started!" ”

Horgist picked up the basketball, took advantage of the glimmer of light from the player's tunnel, found the three-point line at the top of the arc, and threw one at the approximate direction of the basket, and then everyone vaguely heard the sound of the ball rubbing against the net.

No way? Can this also be gained? Hoggist himself thinks it's really incredible, is he really that powerful? The others stood beside Kobe Bryant with dark eyes, and they could only judge by their voices, and they were also shocked by Hoggist's accurate shooting.

At this time, Kobe Bryant suddenly spoke, "Don't be complacent there, this ball didn't go in, don't hurry up." ”

"It's a hollow ball, okay? You stand so far and can't see it, why do you say I didn't throw it? Hougist decided that Kobe Bryant couldn't see either, so he decisively retorted.

Kobe Bryant conjured a flashlight out of nowhere, shining it on his face from the bottom up,1 as if he was pretending to be a ghost, and his face was wearing a night vision device like a machine at some point, "Don't play tricks with me, I have high-tech equipment here, I see every move of you and you, and every subtle expression change on your face." ”

"Night vision? Make no mistake! With such a high-tech device to supervise my shots? What kind of grudge? "Hoggist can't complain.

"You can't say that, Kobe Bryant is all for your good! You have to understand his good intentions! Jeremy Lin said a fair word for Kobe Bryant on the side, "But this is you, I admit that I can't complete this kind of training, Kobe Bryant is right, I won't stay to be bored, we'll see you the day after tomorrow!" ”

As soon as Jeremy Lin began, everyone confessed to Kobe Bryant one after another. Haugist exclaimed anxiously, "Eh! Eh! Don't go! Why are you all gone? Don't you keep learning more? This is your shortcut to success! ”

"All roads lead to Rome my buddy, we'll find other ways to be big!" Walk at the end of Nick. Yang waved his hand and left this sentence, and walked away without looking back.

Kobe didn't care about other people's stays, this was originally the special training he prepared for Hoggist, so he continued to urge and inspire Hoggist, "It was a good attempt just now, now go ahead!" Remember to feel it with your heart, recall every detail of your daily training routine, and think about the angle and strength of your shots in the same position. ”

Haugist picks up the ball from under the basket. Standing back at the top of the arc, I recalled the feeling of shooting just now, since it was lighter just now, then now I can add a little more strength, I have shot countless threes here over the years, even if I can't see the basket, it can't stop me!

Anyway, he couldn't see when he opened it, so Haugist simply closed his eyes, carefully planned in his mind, and then seriously threw this three-pointer. This time, there was only the sound of the ball rubbing against the net.

"Did you get in this time?" Hoggist cautiously asked Kobe.

"It's still short, come again!" Kobe Bryant said expressionlessly.

Still short? I've obviously added strength, I have touched the Nets twice, it seems that it is almost there, as long as I add a little strength! So Horgist picked up the ball, closed his eyes, felt the power and space again, adjusted to what he thought was the right force, and threw the ball for the third time.

This time, there was no sound of the ball rubbing against the net, but instead there was a crisp and pleasant sound of hitting iron.

"Don't ask, it's big this time!" Hogist shook his head and sighed.

"No, it's about the same this time, but it's a little to the left!" Bryant reminded.

It seems that shooting in the dark is really a challenging technical job! Despite three consecutive failures, Hoggist is interested, his competitive spirit has been aroused, and now Hoggist is burning with a fierce desire to complete Kobe's ingenious challenge.

Before the fourth three-point shot, Haugist went through a slightly long period of breath-holding and contemplation, and finally let his mind reach the point where his mind was as calm as a mountain, and he threw away the uneasiness of floating like flowing water. After adjusting to his best, Hoogist calmly threw the ball. This time, I finally heard the pleasant grinding sound again. It seems that the night deprives people of their eyesight and strengthens their hearing, and Horgist can hear it clearly, which is clearly the characteristic grinding sound of the ball passing through the center of the basket!

Soon Kobe Bryant affirmed Hoggist's idea, "Good job, hollow hit, keep trying, I hope you can improve your shooting speed while maintaining this feel." ”

"It's a great training method, but what does it have to do with the problem you pointed out to me?" Hoggist asked, puzzled.

"I just want to temper your impetuous heart by increasing the difficulty of training." Kobe Bryant said in a deep voice.

Hogist asked rhetorically, "But what if I've completed such a difficult challenge now, and I'm even more carried away?" ”

"Done? I gave you the task of throwing in 100, and you've only scored one now, and you're too confident. But it's understandable, if you're not so blindly confident, I won't let you do this training, alas, forget it, anyway, you go ahead first, and wait until you finish the training! Kobe's tone seemed to be dissatisfied with Hoggist's attitude, but Hougist felt that Kobe's rhetoric was premeditated.

However, it is understandable that Hoggist is blindly confident in his shooting ability, so Hoggist threw a three-pointer again, wanting to slap Kobe Bryant in the face with practical actions, but this time Hoggist did not hear any sound, not even the sound of the ball landing......
