Chapter 192: Super Training Lineup
Kobe Bryant has no friends in the league because of his own personality, and this offseason training, except for Ye Feng, who is his favored junior, several other people are even his few friends in the NBA. www.biquge.info Of course, this doesn't include the Lakers' main control Fisher.
Few people will notice that Fisher is also a member of the 96 Golden Generation, when he was selected by the Lakers with the 24th pick in the first round, but he has always been a very low-key point guard in his career, and "big heart" is his label. He and Kobe Bryant have been very good friends since joining the Lakers together in 1996, and this precious friendship has continued to this day. However, he has already made up his mind to go on vacation to Hawaii with his family this summer, so he is not on Kobe's invitation list, and of course, he will definitely show up for the team's training camp before the season starts.
In Los Angeles, Kobe's appeal is unimaginable to outsiders, the reason why he did not arrange a training venue is just because he is still hesitating, basically as long as he speaks, it is impossible for the various stadiums in Los Angeles not to agree to his request, but whether there is another entrainment of private goods is two to say. Bryant's movements were quick, which coincided with his racing against the clock, but this time he did not choose UCLA's training gym, but asked for access to another university arena, which was Mayo's alma mater, the University of Southern California. As for why not just use the Staples Center? A few people occupy such a large space, which is a bit of a waste, isn't it?
UCLA and USC sports teams are often rivals, not just in basketball, but in almost all sports, as long as these two schools participate, they will definitely try to beat each other. Oh yes, and while everyone thinks of the NCAA when they talk about the NCAA, the NCAA is actually much more expansive, and basketball is just one of the sports. The so-called NCAA is the National-Collegiate-Athletic-Association, which means the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which is an association in which thousands of colleges and universities in the United States participate. The main event is the annual tournament of various sports, the most popular of which are the basketball league and the rugby league. In the NCAA, more than 1,000 four-year colleges in the United States and Canada are divided into dozens of leagues at three levels to compete in ball leagues such as football, basketball, baseball, and ice hockey, as well as other sports such as track and field, gymnastics, and wrestling. The NCAA tournament is one of the most important events for college students in the United States to study.
But Ye Feng has no prejudice against USC, in a sense, he and Mayo are also friends and enemies, although they fight fiercely on the field because of the relationship of the same position, but in fact, the two of them still cherish each other. So when Kobe Bryant texted Ye Feng to tell him the time and place of training, Ye Feng happily accepted such an arrangement, it was not the first time he went to USC, but it was indeed the first time to train directly in someone else's stadium.
Kobe Bryant's time is very tight, and the time of his first training session is set for July 1, which seems to be easier to remember. Ye Feng doesn't care, after all, this left him a few days to rest, the sequelae of the European tour are still there, he now has to shorten the time spent in the gym by half every day, and more often go to the community swimming pool for recovery training, it can be said that the last drop of oil in his bones has been squeezed out in the past two weeks. Fortunately, Bryant chose USC, which is also located in Los Angeles, otherwise he would have to fly around, which would have become a big hole that had to be jumped.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on July 1, Ye Feng came to the USC training hall, because Kobe Bryant told him that the time was 9 o'clock, so when he parked the car, he proudly thought that he must be the first to arrive. But before he even stepped into the arena, he heard the "thump" of a basketball touching the ground, and he was surprised: Who came so early? Didn't you say a good 9 o'clock? It wasn't until he walked in that he found out that it would be strange for everyone else to come early, but only this man, it was news that he didn't come early. And looking at the sweat on his training uniform, it is obvious that he has not just arrived.
Ye Feng stood quietly on the sidelines, watching Kobe Bryant meticulously practice his mid-range step-back jumper with the help of his trainer, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, he understood that Kobe Bryant's anti-lore in the seven-game battle was not a fluke, but the most primitive killer instinct that he had exercised through countless shots.
Soon Kobe Bryant found Ye Feng standing on the sidelines in a daze, he didn't stop his movements, but shouted directly at him: "Boy, I didn't want you to come here to see you in a daze on the sidelines, now go to the locker room to change your training clothes, and then come over to train together." ”
Ye Feng subconsciously asked: "Isn't the official start time 9 o'clock?" ”
Kobe Bryant didn't answer him immediately, but continued to complete a step-back jumper under the trainer's simulated confrontation, and then said coldly: "Training time can't be wasted in the slightest, since you have come, if you put in training a minute earlier, you may have more opportunities to improve than others, this is the first lesson I want to tell you." ”
This is the familiar Kobe! What Black Mamba? His nickname should be called Tyrant. However, Ye Feng also knew that Kobe Bryant was for his own good, so he came to the locker room in three steps and two steps, put on his training clothes, put on protective gear in various positions, and trotted all the way back to the training ground. Now he found out that Kobe Bryant didn't come here to train alone, he brought a whole team with him! There are not only trainers who simulate confrontations on the field, but also a few technicians who may only be deployed by professional teams, who shoot with DVs and analyze various data. In fact, Kobe Bryant is basically the only one in the league who has such courage, and others may sweat on the training court like him, but they will definitely not make such a team for themselves in the offseason.
When Ye Feng was still warming up, several other people also came one after another. Whether it is Gasol and Butler, who are relatively mild, or Maddie, who is a little arrogant, they all said hello to Ye Feng kindly, they all saw the performance of this rookie in the season, except for Gasol is an inside player, Maddie and Butler have played against Ye Feng more or less, and when they saw him appear here, they were stunned at first, and then glanced at Kobe Bryant meaningfully, and also went to the locker room to change clothes.
