After helping Bryant successfully solve his family problems, Luke's life is back on track.

Playing and training is still a big focus for Luke. At this time, the 76ers had one more person in their training ground. Joe Bryant, one of the owners of this course many years ago, is now back on the course as a personal trainer.

"You're really here!" Luke said.

"Of course, you paid for it!" Joe Bryant said.

"Well, since you say so." It seems that Joe Bryant didn't know that the money was from his son, so Luke was welcome! "So, Mr. Coach, where do we start?" Luke asked.

"Don't worry, let's have fun first, let me see your strength!" Joe Bryant said.

"Okay." Luke said. Luke understood what he meant.

Joe Bryant did this with a purpose, looking at Luke's situation first and then setting the direction of training.

So when the two men were fighting, Joe Bryant began to point.

"When you turn around, you swing your elbows a little more, and when you turn around, you can increase your deceptiveness to the enemy!"

"After turning around, take a bigger step, so as not to be sad!"

"A little more power, yes, a little bigger!"

"Watch the rhythm of the dribble! There's still time to dribble! Right! That's it! ”

"The combination of virtual and real, yes, the amplitude of hand movement is a little larger, don't be afraid!"

"Speed up! Slow down! Right! That's it! Don't slack off! ”

"When you start, you have to take big steps. This is how you can better outrun the enemy! ”……

Joe Bryant is constantly correcting Luke's mistakes in practice, correcting his posture and passing on his basketball philosophy.

"To play basketball, you don't have to have great talent, but you have to have an absolutely strong basketball IQ. Like Larry Bird; But it's even better to have great talent, and of course, to be physically strong. Joe Bryant said. You've got great talent and basketball IQ now, and you're physically fit. If you want to increase the confrontation, you need to grow a little more muscle. But I don't advise you to develop like Karl Malone. Joe Bryant said.

"Why?" Luke asked.

"Luke, you need to know where you are!" Joe Bryant said. "Your definition is a point guard, or in Don Nelson's words, a point forward. But you have to know. These are not purebred small forwards, let alone big forwards. Although I still have to go in and grab rebounds, I don't need too many inside card skills. You have more time to be like Aaron, Kobe. Maddie also controls the ball from the outside. Then attack. You don't need to play hard in the low post anymore, although I know you have a low post technique, but you don't have to use it every time. More time to organize your offense, just like you did when you first entered the League! ”

"Oh, understood!" Luke replied!

"Alright, let's get started, let's move on!" As he spoke, Luke and Joe Bryant went on the next stage of training.

Since there is no private playground, Luke and Joe Bryant training will definitely occupy the 76ers' training hall, but both have chosen to either train at a time that is not normal, either early or after the training is over. It wasn't too much of a hitter of the other players, but someone found out. That's Larry.

Larry was arguably one of the first to arrive and the last to leave the arena. So he was one of the few people who found out that Luke and the people were training. Of course, he also recognized the man who was training with Luke as Joe Bryant. As someone who lived through that era, he certainly knew Joe Bryant's talents, as well as his shortcomings. The focus on the team's rising stars has led Larry to often watch the duo practice alone.

But when watching the two men train, Larry will find that there is a lack of players.

Because when they arrived, they both started to explain tactics to Joe Bryant. After all, Joe Bryant still has a part-time job as a high school coach, and it is impossible for Luke to give up a decent salary over there. But the problem arises, on the one hand, it is necessary to train, and on the other hand, it is necessary to prepare tactics, so that there is a contradiction in time. So Luke proposed, "I'll help you study tactics together!" ”

"Why? How can you help me? Joe Bryant asked.

"Don't we have such a thing as tactical analysis? And the most important thing about passing is to understand the big picture, so that you can really control the tempo, control the pitch, and complete the goal of victory. Isn't it? And as a point guard, a commander on the court, shouldn't I have the ability to read the game? Analyzing tactics is the best way to do this! In the end, if you keep doing this alone, you can't finish the analysis, I will help you finish it early and start our normal training! Luke said.

"Yes," said Joe Bryant, thinking for a moment. "Okay, I agreed, you come too!"

As a result, in the 76ers' training ground, the voices of two people analyzing tactics can often be heard.

"This ball shouldn't be thrown by itself, it should be passed!"

"This ball is wrong!"

"At this time, you should pay attention to the players behind you!" ……

Of course, all of this is still in Larry's eyes.

"Well, it's not bad." Larry gradually changed his opinion of Joe Bryant. I used to think he was just a wasted talent, but now it seems that he still has some talent, especially passing. Remembering Allen's sense of passing. Larry had a headache. Although Allen has good passing skills and good passing skills, after Luke came here, coupled with his own and the team's coercion, Allen also began to pass the ball, but he has not yet gotten up from the kind of tandem team and organized a series of offensive and defensive battles, most of the time he still chooses to play alone, which is still a big gap from Larry's imagination!

"Do you want to add him to the coaching staff?" Larry figured it out to himself.

Larry's thoughts Luke didn't know, but now Luke had something more important.

On April 16, the 76ers took on the Los Angeles Clippers on the road.

It's a very simple game. Although the Los Angeles Clippers are now faintly on the rise, they are still powerless in front of the now heavily armed 76ers, and they were easily defeated.

But that's not the point.

The focus is on April 18 after that.

On this day, April 18, 2001, in a Roman Catholic church called DandPoint in DanaPoint, California.

"Do I look good dressed like this?" Luke asked Alyssa beside him.

"It's already good-looking, don't be nervous!" Alyssa said as she comforted Luke.

"Well, it's not my wedding anyway! I don't have to worry! Luke said.

"But if you're the best man, you still have to pay attention to your image! Here, I'll help you tidy up your shirt. Alyssa said. That's it! ”

That's right, this is Kobe's wedding. Only 12 people were invited to the wedding. And in addition to Kobe's bodyguards. The rest are relatives and friends of the woman. But with Luke's intervention, the man's relatives and friends have also increased, at least Kobe's parents, his two sisters and brothers-in-law and their children have come! And Luke. was dragged by Kobe Bryant to be the best man. The bridesmaids were Vanessa's friends.

Vanessa's friends certainly know the story about Vanessa's "Cinderella". It's just envy that I don't have such a good opportunity.

But now it seems that the opportunity has come!

The best man standing on the other side of the hallway is also a player like Kobe. And it is said to be a rookie. But the potential is very high, and such potential stocks cannot be abandoned. So after Luke entered this church, the bridesmaid opposite has been showing her seductive capital in front of Luke. He believes that as long as it is a man. will have some different thoughts about her, and then ......

But she forgot about the pre-war investigation and ignored her opponents. The woman next to Luke - Alyssa.

As a woman, as an excellent woman, the unusual gaze of the bridesmaid found after entering the church, that is the gaze of the hungry wolf after staring at the prey, of course, as an excellent woman, of course, first of all, she has confidence in herself, and she doesn't care about this kind of woman at all, but Alyssa still feels that she needs to remind herself of her boyfriend who can't hold it in the face of women. So while arranging Luke's collar.

"Hey, little bastard, you and that woman are not allowed to do anything beyond the limit!" Alyssa said as she sorted it out.

"Which one?" Luke asked.

"It's the bridesmaid who is buying a coquettish bridesmaid!" Alyssa said.

"Do I have that much in your heart?" Luke said with an aggrieved expression.

"Yes! No refutation! Alyssa said,

"Yes, yes, Miss Elisa, listen to you!" Luke said. "Besides, my taste is that bad?" Luke looked at the bridesmaid over there, although she looked good, but Luke always felt that it was not his own dish, and it was better not to pick wildflowers on the side of the road.

Soon the main player appeared, and Kobe Bryant was still so energetic. "Hey, you had a good time last night!" Luke asked when Bryant approached.

"Well, it's not bad." Bryant said.

"That's good!" Luke said, "Here, your ring!" ”

"Oh, yes, this thing is yours!" Kobe Bryant didn't remember until he patted his head. "Thanks!"

"It's fine!" Luke replied.

Then, the wedding begins, and Vanessa, accompanied by her stepfather, walks in in an expensive wedding dress. Then, Bryant took Vanessa's hand from Vanessa's stepfather, and a couple stood together. The two couples made a solemn vow in front of the priest that they would never be separated, then exchanged rings, and the last half-minute kiss ended. Of course, there's a lot more to come.

"Hey, bastard, when am I going to have a wedding like this? When will you be able to wear such a beautiful wedding dress? Alyssa asked.

"This ......" Luke really hadn't thought about it.

"Hmph, I knew that!" Alyssa saw Luke hesitate and said, "You definitely don't love me!" "Make a gesture to cry.

"Hey, hey, my miss, my princess, you have to choose a time to cry, you can't cry here!" Luke said.

"Wow!" Hearing Luke's words, Alyssa cried directly.

"Damn, I dare to cry!" Hearing the crying getting louder and louder, and the crowd gathering more and more, Luke had no choice but to speak. "I promise you, in a few years!"

"How many years from now?" Alyssa suppressed her crying and asked.

"It depends on ...... situation," Luke said.

"You still don't love me!" Alyssa was about to cry again.

"Alright, alright, don't cry, I'm like a sure day!" Luke hastened to say.

"Think about it quickly!" Alyssa urged.

"Then you can at least wait until I get a championship!" Luke said. "I promise God that when I get the championship ring, I'll use it to propose to you!"

"What you said is true?" Alyssa asked.

"Of course it's true!" Luke said categorically.

"Alright then, I forgive you!" Alyssa said as she wiped away her tears.

"Whew, it's finally gone!" Luke said as he wiped his sweat.

"Wait!" Alyssa suddenly noticed something. "I've heard that that championship is not easy, and some people don't get it in their lifetime. Wouldn't that make me wait a long time! I don't do it! ”

“…… She still found out," Luke said secretly in his heart.

Seeing that Luke didn't speak, Alyssa knew it was true! "Looks like you're still lying to me! You don't like me at all! What you just said is false! I'm not alive anymore! Wow! Alyssa began to cry again.

This time Luke didn't know how to comfort him.

"Don't cry, I'll help you figure it out!" Alyssa's cry drew Kobe Bryant over. After listening to what the people around him said, Kobe Bryant made a suggestion.

"What can you do?" Alyssa asked.

"When we win this year, why don't I ask Bass to make another ring for Luke? So he can propose to you! Bryant said.

"That's a good idea! Are you telling the truth? Alyssa asked.

"Of course it's true!" Bryant said with a smile.

"Thank you then!" Alyssa jumped up and said. "Vanessa, let's go play!"

Seeing that Alyssa pulled Vanessa away, Kobe Bryant said. "You girlfriend, what a difficult person!"

"Who's to say it isn't?" Luke said. "But then again, how are you sure you're going to win this year?"

"Who else could it be if we didn't win? The Lakers have me! Bryant said.

"You stink, right? You're going to lose! Luke said.

"Ah, dissatisfied? Don't accept it! Bryant said.

"I'm not convinced, I'm going to be single-handed! Don't look at you getting married today, I don't think you will release water! Luke said

"Come on, whoever is afraid of whom!"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!" (To be continued......)
