At noon the next day, Li Changgeng woke up, and taking advantage of this idle time, Li Changgeng looked over from the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel, which was the Staples Center Arena. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Los Angeles was the first city in the U.S. to have two teams, one is the Los Angeles Lakers and the other is the Los Angeles Clippers. Don't look at the current Los Angeles Clippers seem to be overpowering the Lakers, but the Lakers are an old powerhouse in NBA history, even if he is rebuilding now, it is very awesome, not to mention, the current Clippers still use the Lakers' arena, how can that morale be high.

Looking at the shops on the streets and alleys full of Lakers' flags, Li Changgeng's eyes were full of sparkling.

At this time, Zhang Weiping knocked on the door, he opened the door and saw that Sima Shenji and Xu Anya had also arrived, and the four of them went to Kobe Bryant's training camp.

On the way, Sima Shenji asked Zhang Weiping curiously.

"Who else is this person? Mr. Zhang. ”

"It seems that Li Changgeng is the same family, what is called Li, oh, I remember, it is called Li Zheng."

Teacher Zhang Weiping said.

"Li Zheng!"

Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji were a little surprised, they were no strangers to this name, especially Li Changgeng, Li Zheng was the man who had been with him for the longest time, and after that group fight, he seemed to be gone, and there was no news of him.

Hearing his news this time, the two of them were a little surprised, and it was not surprising.

"It can't be him!" Sima Shenji said.

"I don't know!" Li Changgeng waved his hand and looked back.

"What are you two doing, hurry up!" Zhang Weiping turned his head and shouted.

"Didn't do anything!" Li Changgeng hurriedly responded.

"Isn't that a hurry, grinding?" Zhang Weiping glanced at his watch, and the time was almost up.

The two hurriedly followed, and the four of them walked to Staples Arena.

Ten minutes later, Li Changgeng and the staff of Kobe Bryant's training camp who came to pick up the airport converged, this staff member is named Griffin, about 20 years old, and his height is 1.9 meters, a typical white American, with blonde hair is very flowing, plus his butterfly eyes, quite a bit of a merry man's temperament. When he saw Zhang Weiping, he greeted with a smile: "Hey, old friend, I've been waiting for you here for half an hour." ”

"Griffin, I'm so sorry to let you run here in the wee hours of the morning." Zhang Weiping, with a fluent English mouth, hugged Griffin.

Obviously, the two have known each other for a long time, like Zhang Weiping, who is the strongest Komi in China, who on the Lakers team doesn't know, let alone this person who specializes in serving Kobe Bryant.

The two exchanged a few words, and Zhang Weiping pointed to Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji and introduced: "This is Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, you call them Li, Si.... Sima can. ”

When introducing Sima Shenji, Zhang Weiping paused a little, this duplicate name is really not easy to introduce to the other party, so he continued.

"Our Huaxia name is rather awkward, I hope you don't mind."

"Hehe, it's okay, I can remember, it's not the first time we've come into contact with Chinese players." Griffin smiled and said a broken word of Chinese, causing everyone to laugh.

Then he looked at Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, and stretched out his hand in a very gentlemanly manner, "Hello, my name is Griffin." ”

"Hello." Li Changgeng scratched his head for a while, he really didn't know how to speak, so he could only say a "hello".

Usually Li Changgeng's academic performance is not very good, it can even be said that it is very poor, and the time is spent on practice, although later Li Changgeng began to study slowly under the guidance of Xiao Er, but the foundation is not good, so there is not much progress now, it is okay to cope with the exam, if you want to speak colloquially, it is lacking.

Griffin didn't mind, let go of his hand and shook Li Changgeng again, Sima Shenji couldn't help but glance at Li Changgeng, it was the first time he had seen Li Changgeng so embarrassed. Li Changgeng glanced at him, wanting to see Sima Shenji's appearance.

It's a pity that Sima Shenji didn't let him get his way, I saw Sima Shenji and Griffin skillfully shake hands, and said in English that was not fluent, but at least smooth enough, "Hello Griffin, my name is Sima Shenji, thank you very much for being able to pick us up, I believe we will get along very happily in the next week or so." ”

Hearing Sima Shenji's mouth spit out smooth English, Griffin was also a little surprised, and his smile became a little more enthusiastic.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to speak English so well."

Suddenly, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed his words.

"I mean, I'm glad to meet you. Sima, you speak English very well, I think we will get along happily, at least there will be no problems in communication. ”

Seeing that the two of them communicated very well, Li Changgeng was depressed, if he didn't learn this English well, it was really a problem.

"When I return to China, I must study hard, even if I don't study other subjects, I must learn English well!" Li Changgeng secretly decided in his heart that he must spend more time on studying in the future, and if he has the opportunity to go abroad next time, he must not be embarrassed.

As he spoke, several people arrived at Kobe Bryant's training camp. At this time, there are obviously a lot of people in Kobe Bryant's training camp, obviously, this is a global training camp, so young players from all over the world are gathered here, Zhang Weiping looked around, found that there were no players wearing their team uniforms, and quickly picked up the phone and called, only to see the sound of busy sound over there, and in desperation, he could only hang up the phone.

"What's wrong? Dear Zhang. “

Griffin cared.

"Oh! No, nothing, let's move on! Zhang Weiping shook his head, indicating that there was nothing wrong.

"That's good! We continue to visit. Griffin said.

Zhang Weiping smiled and waved his hand to let the three of them follow.

Coming here to participate in the training camp is not exactly training, in the eyes of Americans, work and play are combined, and they are not so industrious, so on this day, Griffin takes them to visit here and there. I look at everything, I talk about everything, and I just don't do the right thing anyway.

Zhang Weiping also knew that this guy was lazy, after all, working under Kobe, it was impossible to have time to play, after all, Kobe was such a rigorous player.

However, Zhang Weiping didn't expose him, after all, he would have to take it with him in the future! He glanced at Li Changgeng and the others, their curious eyes seemed to have a hint of firmness, and they didn't seem to be polluted by the substance-ridden Los Angeles.

He nodded in satisfaction.

......

In the afternoon, it seemed that Griffin had had enough, so he took them to the arena.

The excitement in Li Changgeng's heart also climbed up his cheeks, and he could immediately see the legendary star, Kobe Bryant.

Speaking of Kobe, everyone knows his deeds, as the most controversial and influential player of this century, he can be said to be the No. 1 scoring guard in the post-Jordan era within the world's cognition, inexplicable offense, terrifying defense, 5 championships, 2 FMVPs, 1 regular season MVP, 7 times selected to the All-Star team, including 4 All-Star MVPs. The NBA scored a total of 33,643 points, averaging 25 points, 4.7 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game. He has been named to the NBA All-NBA First Team 11 times and the All-NBA Defensive First Team nine-time selection. In the 2005-2006 season against the Toronto Raptors, he scored a career-high 81 points in a single game, ranking second in NBA history (second only to Chamberlain with 100 points). He won two Olympic gold medals for the U.S. national team in 2008 and 2012.

Countless honors have made him what he is now, and even many people compare him with Jordan, the god of basketball, this is Kobe, Black Mamba Kobe.

Ready to see Kobe, it was obvious that everyone in this team was nervous, and many of them had blush on their faces.

The same three people are like that.

"Nervous no!" Li Changgeng asked.

Don't look at his idol is not Kobe, but how can he not be excited to see such a great legendary superstar, I still remember the last game, when Kobe Bryant won the point that sealed the win, he was about to jump out.

"Nervous!" Sima Shenji said, "Kobe, my idol since I was a child, my home is full of his posters, and I want to see him in my dreams!" How are you not nervous? ”

"It's okay!." Li Changgeng smiled and said, "I'm afraid that I won't know how to say it when I see him." ”

"Probably not, I heard that Kobe Bryant is very good, especially for us young students, who will be with us every day and guide us in training." Sima Shenji said with a smile.

"And don't you speak English? You just say OK, OK is fine. “

In the end, Sima Shenji joked.

Li Changgeng glanced at Sima Shenji, just now he used the system to help upgrade his learning, and spent a little ball money to let himself learn English temporarily, so there is no communication problem now, but he didn't tell Sima Shenji, he was thinking about how to talk to Kobe, and he would meet later.

In fact, it is not only Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji who are nervous, but the students in the team are a little nervous, whether it is a fan of James or a fan of Paul, they will become Kobe Bryant's fans at this moment.

A sightseeing car slowly drove in front, and when the sightseeing car stopped, everyone looked at it, and a man with a very light brain, but a high nose bridge and a handsome face walked down from the sightseeing car.

I saw him wearing five rings on his hand and waving his arms to greet everyone.

"Welcome to Kobe Bryant Training Camp, I'm Kobe Bryant. Hello! “

The last sentence is spoken in Chinese.

"...... Uproar"

For a moment, everyone froze a little, and then they erupted into enthusiastic cheers and hugged Kobe Bryant's side with a bang.

Everyone didn't expect that Kobe Bryant would be here to greet them, so this made them excited and feel a warmth at the same time.

Imagine where there will be a big name who will personally pick up people, even if Kobe Bryant retires, it is almost impossible, after all, the time of celebrities is very precious, and every second counts.

However, Kobe Bryant is like this. This flattered everyone.

But after a while, Kobe Bryant waved his hand to everyone and left, and everyone stayed in the training camp under the leadership of their respective leaders.

Kobe Bryant's training camp, like Kobe, is very time-oriented, so after lunch, the training began.

In fact, Kobe Bryant's training camp and Zhang Weiping's tryouts are basically the same, but the number of people is larger, and they are grouped according to age, first basketball explanation, and then group confrontation.

However, the coaches here are quite professional, and the knowledge explained is also very professional, which can be cleared more than those coaches at the tryouts, after all, this is the American basketball palace, and the atmosphere of basketball must be stronger than that in other places.

Although Li Changgeng has the guidance of Xiao Er, he doesn't need to listen to these courses, but he also listens to them with relish, after all, it is always good to learn more and deepen his impression.

And the explanation here is explained in sections.

For example, when shooting, most people will tell you how to shoot and how to move to the standard, and then ask you to do it.

But it's different here, the coach will break down the shooting action into a number of small steps, and then explain to you how to do each step, why you do it, what the principle is, and finally let you follow it, and the coach will adjust the action for you on the side.

When the players were training, I didn't know when Kobe Bryant was coming back, so he would be watching from the sidelines.

In fact, it is not only Kobe Bryant, but also some people in the basketball world, such as reporters from certain sports newspapers, scouts of a certain team, coaches of a certain college, etc......

These people are all here to see the players, they are looking at the extremely talented players in the training camp, and if there is, then this person will be invited to step into the circle and it can be described as skyrocketing.

You know, many colleges and universities in the United States, the team has a close connection with the media, like the Knicks, although the strength of this team is not strong, but in New York, the exposure is very high, so his reputation remains high, even when the record is very poor, their attendance rate can reach 90%, this is a basketball ecosystem, an ecosystem composed of teams, media, and players, only if they are famous, then there will be a virtuous circle, which also leads to the development of the entire NBA to profit.

And many students who come to Kobe Bryant's training camp also have such a purpose, that is, to stand out in the training camp, so as to get the attention of those scouts, and then get an invitation to enter a certain college, or even directly enter a certain team.

For many young people who play well and study poorly, if they can stand out in the training camp and get the attention of the outside world, they may be able to get the favor of a certain university and provide them with special enrollment opportunities. (To be continued.) )
