"Mr. Bryant, do you know me?" Luke asked.

"How could you not know!" Joe said. "This year's rookie, one of the core of the 76ers, Bill Wharton's son, Magic Johnson's apprentice, the hero of the city, how could I not know such a good person!" At the end, what Joe said was a bit weird.

"Hehehe, it's all people's false praise! Don't mind listening, just listen and play. Luke, of course, understood what Joe was saying, but he said with a smile.

"Then Mr. Wharton, do you have any advice for coming to the Humble House today?" Joe asked. "If it's about Kobe and Vanessa, I don't want you to say it, it's our housework, and we don't need outsiders to take care of it!"

"Of course not!" Luke said. "I'm here to talk about something else!"

"What's the matter?" Joe asked.

"How is your life lately?" Luke asked.

"That's not what you need to care about!" Joe said.

"I guess Mr. Bryant's life hasn't been going well lately!" Luke said. "Without your son's financial support, I have now found a job as a high school coach, but I don't think that meager salary can support a large family!"

"What do you want to say!" Joe's eyes turned cold.

"Don't be angry," Luke said, shaking his hand, "I'm not here to taunt you!" I just wanted to recommend you for a job! ”

"What job?" Joe asked. "But if it's money to reconcile me and Kobe, it's impossible!"

"How do you know?" Luke muttered quietly.

"What did you say?" Joe said.

"I said of course not!" Luke replied. "I have a real job for you, and it's basketball-related!"

"What's that? Tell me soon! Joe Bryant asked eagerly.

This time Joe was indeed very difficult. Before leaving Kobe. Joe's family's living expenses basically come from Kobe's salary, but since they left Kobe, the only source of living has been cut off.

Some time ago, if Pam hadn't gone out as a nanny to subsidize the family and government subsidies, Joe Bryant's family would have run out of food! Fortunately, now Joe has found another job as a high school coach, but it is a women's basketball team, and the salary is not high, and he basically maintains the life of his family. But that's not enough. Although he doesn't have children anymore, he has several children of his two daughters, and now it seems that he is going to give birth again, although he doesn't care about his affairs. But as a parent, you always have to help. So life is very tight. Now he needs money very much. Now he's looking forward to Luke's job.

"It's a relatively simple job that doesn't affect your normal work, which is your job as a high school coach! And the salary is still good! Luke said.

"What a job, tell me quickly!" Joe said eagerly.

"Are you sure you're going to do it?" Luke asked.

"Hurry up!" Joe said, shaking Luke.

"Alright, alright. Got it! Let me go first! Luke opened Joe's hand as he spoke.

"It's actually very simple! That's when I was my personal trainer! Luke said.

"Ahh Are you asking me to do this? Joe Bryant said.

"Ahh Luke said. "What's wrong, don't you want to?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I have a problem." Joe Bryant said.

"What's the problem?" Luke asked.

"Didn't you already learn from a magician? And I'm the player who looks most like him. You've learned from him, and you've learned a lot from me, it's all repetitive, is that still meaningful? Joe Bryant said.

"That's a good question!" Luke said.

In fact, Luke has thought about this question for a long time.

Yes, many people say that Joe Bryant is a copy of Magic Johnson, but few people know that Joe Bryant has always debuted before Magic, and the similarity of the two skills can only be a magician imitating Joe Bryant, and there is a more important point that Luke values the most.

"You're not the same magician!" Luke said categorically.

"Oh? What's the difference? Tell me, if you're right, I'll be your coach, and if you can't satisfy me, I won't train you even if you pay a lot of money! Joe said.

"Magic, he's a very good player, I don't deny that." Luke said. "He was the absolute king of the 80 years of the last century, and that's true. But you and him are two completely different players. ”

"The magician is called a magician because his movements are very mysterious and beautiful." Luke said.

"Whether it's for James, who is playing a fast break? A back pass from Worthy, or a whistle ball at half-time, or his charming smile, anyone who has ever watched a Magic play will say it's an indelible memory for a lifetime. As soon as he stepped onto the field, everyone exclaimed: how could a giant of such height make so many unbelievable movements?

And the most amazing aspect is his passing skills. In the fast break, one no-lookpass after another, an open catch across the half court, a spinning pass, and more than 3/4 of the long passes made the opponent stunned and the fans crazy. He shoots when the opponent thinks he's going to pass, and when everyone thinks he's going to shoot, he chooses to pass the ball instead.

Michael, the former Lakers' swingman at the guard? Coopa said: 'Sometimes I don't know who he's going to give when he's making a long pass, and then one of my team-mates catches the ball and scores.' Then I ran back to the backcourt and told him he had better find someone in the middle to overdo it. ’

I can't deny any of this, but after this period of competition, I found that those are completely inadequate for the needs of this era. I need a better way to attack! Luke said earnestly.

In Luke's mind, the magician's passing was very flashy. But later, after Luke studied under the magician for so long and constantly watched the video footage, he finally realized that the magician's passing was not what Luke imagined. More often than not, Luke thinks that Magic is a pragmatist, that every pass he passes is very accurate, like a long pass in football, and that he needs a wide receiver who can play with him, and that person happens to be James Worthy. The cooperation between the two is quite good. And before the Magic retired, the Lakers had always been in their prime, with a full lineup, and the players were all in their prime. Basically, it was impeccable, and even if it didn't win the championship, it was because of bad luck or injury, not because of its own strength. And although the Magic score is also very good, he is a player who specializes in passing. But Joe Bryant was different.

Jerry, the Lakers' deputy general manager? West said of Joe back then: "He doesn't like to do dirty work, he doesn't pay attention to technical details, and no matter how talented he is, he can't go further." He was born to perform, not to win. ”

That's right, as a genius, Joe Bryant, like many talented players, doesn't like dirty and tiring defense, they just love offense, so they can show themselves and earn a big contract, so why not?

And now offense is Luke's weakest one, especially from the outside.

What was once a source of pride in China is no longer enough. Especially now.

Luke found out when he traveled back in time to this era. The most important thing is that you are too tall.

When I was a small man, I practiced the skills of a guard, but now I am the height of a small forward, and sometimes I have to play a big forward. After Luke apprenticed with Magic, he not only learned outside skills, but also inside skills, and mainly inside skills, so that Luke had more opportunities to be active on the inside. And the outside line is still a practical technology learned back then. None of these techniques are old, they are new, but they are starting to not suit Luke. This is the worst thing!
