Kobe Bryant has not played in the NBA for a little more than 17 years in his life, and he has played in the NBA for a little more than 19 years, which means that he has been playing basketball for more than half of his life.

Kobe Bryant has seen all kinds of people in the NBA in his life, there are Van Exels and Eddie Jones who train hard to avoid being robbed of the main point guard position of the Los Angeles team by a high school student, there are invincible people like O'Neal who are invincible but don't like to train (in fact, Kobe Bryant is the only one) annoying, there are Fisher who are suitable for being a brother on the court and are not suitable for taking home to drink, and there is Vujacic who is very focused and keen on training but his talent is not enough but is very admirable. There are Odom who seems to be cursed by the devil but still loves basketball, there is Walton, who is not suitable for playing basketball and insists on retiring to become a coach in his last 30s, and Gasol is like a brother when he hits it off......

But Kobe Bryant wants to scold something special, but he has never met Liu Ren like this.

Let's say he's lazy, according to the statistics of the team's assistant coach Mark Madsen, Liu Ren's comprehensive score of training time and intensity is the first in the team, not only the training arranged by the team is strictly completed, but also a training gym has been built at home to practice.

Not only that, the physical fitness is very good, of course, the physical fitness is much better, and there are many people in the development league who are full of football style but can't play in the real professional league, and Liu Ren is the kind of genius who has the talent to give full play to his physical fitness.

Let's say that he has a withdrawn personality, but at any time like a joke, many young Lakers players were afraid of him at first, but they were slowly annoyed to death by him.

Kobe Bryant feels that such a person is the best successor, and he has been thinking so since Liu Ren's outbreak in 2013.

He trains hard, has good talent, his skills are gradually developing, his shooting talent is explosive, and his teammates respect him a lot.

However, Kobe Bryant found that this kid didn't have the idea of being the boss at all, and he repeatedly took the initiative to give up opportunities such as post-game interviews and exclusive interviews with famous reporters, but now he sneaked away nine times out of ten and didn't want to participate.

Not only that, except for occasional occasions, Liu Ren will never exercise the power of the boss, and rarely drive his teammates as a boss, just take care of himself, the team encounters headwinds in the game, and will not think about stimulating his teammates to kill the other party at once, but thinking about solving it alone.

Liu Ren feels a lot like a close friend of his, the one who has the top talent in NBA history, a talent that Kobe Bryant envies, but he doesn't have any good luck and doesn't have a healthy enough body.

In comparison, Kobe Bryant thinks that Liu Ren definitely wants to get more honors than that guy, or that Liu Ren, who has only played in the NBA for five years, has already won honors that that the guy can't achieve in his entire career, Kobe Bryant thinks that such a person should be very motivated, such as usurping the throne and becoming the boss, such as claiming that he is the strongest, etc.

But none of these things happened.

This made Kobe very distressed, this kid is so weird!

In other words, how can Kobe Bryant understand the inner thoughts of a Chinese otaku young man?

In fact, Kobe Bryant is also weird, who would wait all day long for someone to kill him and steal his position? The whole history of the NBA is him.

On December 15, the Lakers were preparing to play the Rockets the next day at the Toyota Center Training Hall.

The Rockets have been tragic this year, and Howard is not happy again.

Howard won't defend if he's not happy, he won't be able to top anyone, the Rockets' defense is equal to gone, Howard's offense is not good, and he has only averaged 13 points per game this season, no offense, no defense, and almost no contribution to grabbing eleven rebounds per game.

When a team's strongest players on the inside are basically unable to contribute, a team is basically useless.

Just like the current Rockets, they haven't made a single top-eight finish since the beginning of the season.

So there's no pressure on the Lakers' side, and today's training is just because of a two-day break, I'm afraid that the players will overdo it, just find the feeling, the training is very relaxed overall, no, there are two strange people chatting on the side of the court.

"You're lazy like this after training? Don't go to the coach to discuss the game? "Kobe Bryant looks like he hates iron but not steel.

"You and Drummond don't go, I'm just a scorer, and I can't understand." Liu Ren replied casually.

If you don't understand, you won't learn! Kobe Bryant's hatred of iron does not make steel.

Don't be angry, the successor is chosen by yourself, the management also asked for their opinions, Kobe Bryant said that he was not angry, this child is still young, 94 years old, you have to educate slowly.

"Your goal for your career isn't to be a scorer, is it? Isn't there a little more ambitious goal? "Kobe Bryant started to take a good step, and when he had a bigger goal, he would start to learn things that he wouldn't know now, and Kobe Bryant learned this from his own personal experience.

"Yes, I will win more championships than you, score more points, become the strongest player, of course, I will take you as an old man to win a few more championships, and I will not abandon you." Liu Ren said with a buddy's expression of being very moral.

"......" Kobe really wanted to slap Liu Ren in the face.

But Kobe Bryant held back, this is the successor he is looking for, and he recognizes it...... Recognize your sister!

"Hey, Liu, you want to be the best player? It's cool, then you should learn more, you should learn how to dominate the team, how to make your teammates more able to help you......" Kobe Bryant continued to follow the rules......

"Dominating the team? It's okay to have you and Drummond here, although you're old and useless, just a useless old man, it's okay to be a mascot, rest assured, many people in our team are your fans, and they won't leave you to win the championship yourself, and there is Zach here, people say that he is your successor, just have them in charge of the team, I'm just a quiet scorer......" Liu Ren didn't see Kobe's eyes wanting to kill, and said to himself.

Useless old man? Kobe Bryant's last sane nerve collapsed, and he stood up and folded the chair in his hand.

"Kobe, what are you doing? You don't need to clean up the chairs, our team can still afford to hire a cleaning uncle...... Emma...... Kobe Bryant, what are you going to do! Rely on ......"

Liu Ren was frantically chased by Kobe Bryant who was holding a chair......

This beautiful scenery has become the norm in the Lakers' training hall, and everyone else habitually stops and watches, speculating whether Kobe Bryant is old and strong to catch up with Liu Ren in terms of physical strength, or Liu Ren once again evades Kobe's pursuit......

……

On the second floor of the training ground, the magician was watching Kobe and Liu Ren play with a smile on his face, smiling happily.

This is the first time that Magic has stood in this position as the president of the Lakers, and it feels very different.

"Kobe Bryant failed again as an education boss? He's really persevering! I'm really not afraid of being. Lakers team advisor Steve Nash laughs.

Nash is an advisor to the Lakers' training team, where he coaches young guards and shoots, and is not responsible for anything else with the Lakers.

"Some people are born to want to be the boss, some people are born to only want to be great but don't have the mentality of being the boss, Kobe and the boss are completely two people with different personalities, to be honest, I don't know how the two of them can get together, but it's funny, isn't it?" The magician shrugged helplessly.

The current management of the Lakers is unanimously of the opinion that Liu Ren is the future face of the team, and it may be the case for at least ten years in the future, the Lakers want and are confident that Liu Ren will stay with the Lakers for a long time, and the sale of shares to Liu Ren is also considered in this regard.

"But the boss doesn't seem to have the mentality of being the boss, if Kobe doesn't want to play and retire in two years, and the team doesn't have a leader, this may be a hidden danger." Another Lakers team advisor, Rob Pelinka, said.

Unlike Nash, who can be seen by outsiders, Pelinka is an advisor to the Lakers on player acquisition and trade, temporarily responsible for the evaluation of draft rookies and free agents, as well as the evaluation of trade value, and he is one of the team's shareholders, more than seventy percent of his net worth has been invested in the Lakers, and he is completely insider.

"It's really a problem, Kobe is on the team, everyone is headed by him, but Kobe is almost 38 years old, just like when I came into the team when I met Abdul-Jabbar, Abdul-Jabbar was 32 when I joined the team, and Kobe was 33 when Boss joined the team. It's been almost 5 years since BOSS joined the team, and I haven't become the boss of the team yet, I think it's because BOSS didn't get the attention of Coach Brown and Coach D'Antoni in the first two years, so it took so long. The magician analyzed.

"That's right, if Kobe Bryant is two or three years younger, he can wait until the boss has the desire to be the boss, but the feedback I got from Kobe is that he may not play for too long, the boss is about the same age as most of our young players, if Kobe Bryant doesn't take advantage of Kobe to snatch the boss from Kobe, he won't inherit Kobe's prestige, and I'm worried that the players will fall into infighting after Kobe." Pelinka said worriedly.

The magician nodded, he was worried about this.

"This ...... I think you're overthinking. General manager Kupchak finally spoke.

Magician and Pelinka both looked at each other curiously, but Nash was not worried or curious at all.

"This Steve should know that most of the players in our current team, especially those who are the starters and main players, are almost all helpers selected by the boss himself, including Zach, Drummond, Hassan, the three tactical cores of our future plans, and even Giannis is the boss's own helper, they didn't mix well before they came to our team, so we only exchanged them all back at a small price, and they may respect Kobe the most, But if they say that the person they identify with most on the team, it may not be Kobe, but the boss. Kupchak explained.

Nash also smiled: "I think Mickey's words are right, I think Drummond, Zach, and Hassan are all okay with the matter of assisting the boss." As for Kobe Bryant, he chases the boss education all day long...... I think...... He wants to play the game of being seized and then snatched back......"

Nash's idea is a bit unusual, but the other three think of Kobe's fan-like personality and think that Nash is quite reasonable!

……

……

Ellie and the Old Man Tavern......

Liu Ren This is the third time to come to Los Angeles in this tavern with his shares, because the tavern has not seen the home game for half a month, the next day finally has a home game to watch, some fans who bought tickets or fans who have season tickets last season and bought season tickets for this season will come here to show off, and some fans are here to make an appointment to watch the game together tomorrow, there is a super big TV in the tavern, and there will be a live broadcast of the whole process.

There are also some people who come to drink simply because of the simple decoration style here, and are affected by the environment here, and slowly become Lakers fans and habitually come here to play.

None of these people could have imagined that the person they discussed the most would be "picking up guests" in the exclusive tavern owner's private room in the tavern.

"Cool! Boss: Is this a chain bar you own? I heard that the market value of this chain of bars has reached 1 billion! Ravan said enviously.

"I just have a little bit of a stake, where do I get so much money and time to do this." Liu Ren explained.

"I see, what are you the number one shareholder? If the shares are too small, those bartenders should not know that you are a shareholder, and they will not call you Liu Dong. Laven was still curious.

"Uh...... I should have the second most shares. Liu Ren said a little blushing.

Liu Ren only learned today that he had a new title, which is Liu Dong.

This Ellie and Time Old Man Tavern has branches in 29 cities in North America, and this year has not been limited to the establishment of only Lakers theme taverns, after two years, although the income of each tavern is still rising, and the customer flow is still rising, but it has begun to slow down the rise, and the room for improvement is limited, so the girl named Ellie began to build theme taverns for each team in the local area of these teams, relying on the huge influence and popularity of these teams in the local area to attract customers.

Because of this kind of fan club-like existence, it will increase the team's local popularity cohesion, and can also accumulate more popularity like the Lakers, and those local NBA teams have also agreed, and Ellie only paid a small amount of money to buy the rights to use the tavern image of those teams.

In just two years, continuous expansion, and because Ellie's family has money and does not need financing, Liu Ren's little money has become the second largest shareholder of this chain tavern brand, in fact, there is only one shareholder in addition to Ellie, and Liu Ren has become the only director in these taverns besides the president, known as Liu Dong.

When Liu Ren came here with LaVine, Harden, and Thackeray just now, the bartender's younger brother called Liu Ren and Liu Dong, which scared the three of them, Liu Ren is actually the owner of a chain pub brand with a market value of one billion dollars, and these billion dollars can buy most of the shares of an NBA weak team and become a big boss like Jordan!

"Cool boss! Are you the second biggest boss? And say you don't have any money! "Ravan is not calm.

Liu Ren chose to ignore Laven, speaking of which Laven still had a little vanity satisfaction when he said this, so he still didn't talk about the fact that he only held five percent of the shares.

Liu Ren received Harden today, purely because Harden recently said on Twitter and Facebook how melancholy and troubled he was, and fans speculated that he was asking for comfort because of his bad record, and then Liu Ren brought Thackeray and LaVine, who had the best relationship with Harden of the Lakers team, to come here.

Sure enough, Harden has indeed been sullen because of the record and the locker room problems caused by Howard, no way, now ranked tenth in the West, happy basketball can't play!

However, Liu Ren was worried about Harden in vain, and when Harden's giant butt friend Thackeray opened the topic of "whose butt is more attractive in Hollywood", the two giant buttocks lovers shrank into a corner of the private room, holding their mobile phones and flipping through something unspeakable to make a weird laugh.

Yes, Liu Ren thinks this is not bad, originally he invited Harden out for a drink just to let Harden transfer the depression caused by the bad work, but now this result is great.

But when he thinks of Harden, Liu Ren thinks of Howard.

Speaking of which, Liu Ren is still a little grateful to Howard to a certain extent, the last few games of the 2012-2013 season are the games in which Liu Ren laid the foundation for being valued by the Lakers.

Although it is said that the strength will shine wherever he goes, but in the end, Howard helped Liu Ren, and Liu Ren felt very sorry that Howard was almost unable to mix with the Rockets now.

But Liu Ren just regretted it, everyone's path is their own choice, and the final result can only be borne by themselves, and Howard is not without strength, after all, it is the end of the center life, except for Whiteside, Anthony Davis, and Gasol Jr., these centers can be stronger than Howard in terms of record and data, and role, although the other young centers have good data, they can't be said to stabilize Howard, even if Howard leaves the Rockets, it must be the highest salary level, There is no need to worry about Liu Ren, who is only a little more middle-class now.

"Boss, let's go to the Hollywood West Hey Nightclub in a while, I heard Robert say that there are a lot of new hot girls there, do you want to go together?" Harden's long-bearded Jike Junyi face came to Liu Ren again with two bangs.

"Get out! I'm here to take you to relax! It's not for you! ”
