Wen Hao said goodbye to Yu Song and returned to his residence. His phone was not turned on, and he rested quietly for half a day. At four o'clock in the morning the next day, he woke up early and headed for the Toyota Center. Although it was still early in the morning, Wen Hao was not yawning and listless like ordinary early risers. On the contrary, he was in excellent spirits and refreshed. He's used to it, and that's the benefit of a point guard's heart. No matter how tired you are on the first day and how late you practice, you can always wake up at 4 a.m. the next day and be in a very good mental state.

Practicing in such a good mental state is naturally twice the result with half the effort. Wen Hao entered the arena and began to do the task given by the heart of the point guard.

Now the point guard is given a larger amount of tasks each time, he can barely complete it for three days, and he has to do nearly an hour to complete a task on the fourth day.

Wen Hao finished the last 30 50-kilogram bench presses, panting and sitting on the ground, his hands on the ground, sweat dripping down his body. The lights of the training hall outlined the lines of his muscles, although they did not have the bulging muscles of James, but Wen Hao's lines gave people a sense of strength in their softness. These muscles all over his body can make him burst out with strong strength in an instant.

Looking at the muscles on his legs and arms, Wen Hao secretly thought to himself: Although he has many skills given by the heart of a point guard, these skills are based on his physical condition. If your physical condition is not up to the requirements of the skill, then the skill cannot be activated at all. Take the skill of "Doomsday Buckle" as an example, although it looks extremely terrifying, and the power of inhuman power is not at all what ordinary Wen Hao can achieve, but in fact, Wen Hao has done so much training, and his training volume is more than three times that of ordinary players. And this amount of training translates into strength, which is hidden within his body. It's just that everyone thinks that it is impossible for human beings to achieve that kind of power, and Wen Hao himself thinks so, so he usually can't exert such power at all.

When playing against the Suns, Gerrard? Green completely angered Wen Hao, which stimulated Wen Hao's hidden potential, and with all his might, he brought out the power that Ping Yu had accumulated.

With such an experience, Wen Haoping said that he trained even harder. Because he knows that even if he has the heart of a point guard, he will not let himself get what he wants without hard work. There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky. I am luckier than others and have the heart of a point guard, but I also have to work harder than others to play the role of a point guard.

Moreover, there is a deep-seated reason why Wen Hao works so hard, that is, he doesn't know where his point guard heart comes from, so he is faintly worried. Since this point guard's heart can come suddenly, it is very likely to pass away suddenly. What should I do if my point guard heart suddenly disappears one day?

Because of this, Wen Hao trained harder. In this way, even if the heart of the point guard suddenly disappears, he will not fall to the bottom in an instant.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, this is Wen Hao's surname, or his habit.

……

Meanwhile, at the training gym at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, another figure is sweating in the lights.

This person is none other than Kobe Bryant, the protagonist of the Lakers that the Rockets will play against in the next game? Bryant.

Compared to before his Achilles tendon ruptured two years ago, Bryant seemed to be a lot older. He played just six games in the 2013-14 season after recovering from a broken Achilles tendon before the season was reimbursed due to a knee injury. Injuries have overwhelmed the veteran of two decades. Just imagine what a heavy blow it is for a veteran to recover from an injury after only playing six games and being re-injured for the season. If an ordinary player suffers such a serious injury at such an advanced age, there is no doubt that he will choose to retire.

But he is Kobe, a player with a strong will, a player who is strict with himself to the point of paranoia, a player who is full of desire to win and hateful of defeat. He's a black mamba!

Kobe Bryant once did an interview, and he said to the host in the interview: "Do you think that when I get older, I will choose to join a team with championship hopes and be a role player like other superstars at the end of their careers?" I tell you, don't even think about it. ”

This shows how competitive Kobe Bryant is, so he won't fall down because of injuries.

This season, when the Lakers are still generally role players, Kobe Bryant, as the leading big brother, led the Lakers all the way to the playoffs, which took him too much energy.

So under the lights, he looks a lot older than he used to be.

However, don't underestimate Kobe Bryant because of that. No matter how old he is, he is still a black mamba, and he still craves victory as much as he did when he was younger. That's where his belief lies.

Therefore, Kobe Bryant is definitely a huge roadblock on the way for the Rockets to hit the championship.

At this time, Bryant finished shooting his 200th three-pointer of the day, and also sat on the ground, panting for breath. For his sixth championship ring, in order to surpass Jordan, he will definitely continue to work hard.

But......

Kobe Bryant thought of the No. 5 of the Rockets for no reason, and thought of the amazing dunk of the No. 5. That's definitely a frightening snap.

Thinking of the fact that in the regular season, because of that kid's outstanding performance and interference with himself at the last moment, he failed to kill the Rockets, Kobe Bryant secretly said in his heart: "Maybe...... That No. 5 will be the biggest stumbling block on the Lakers' way to the championship. ”

"But...... No matter who it is, it won't stop me from winning the championship! The Black Mamba clenched his fist and slammed it into the floor. There was a muffled "bang" on the floor, as if in response to the Black Mamba's vow.

……

The next morning, the morning of the series between the Rockets and the Lakers, Wen Hao only did some training to stay in shape and returned to his residence. I'm going to take a two-hour break and go to the Toyota Center, the Rockets are going to face the Lakers tonight, and he must be fully prepared.

At this time, the phone rang suddenly, and Wen Hao frowned, a little dissatisfied with being disturbed at this time. I forgot to turn off my phone after reading the text message last night, so I was called.

But when he answered the phone and heard the voice on the other side, a smile came to his face. That's not little Carter.

For Wen Hao, Carter Jr. is the simplest friend he has met in the United States. There is no other relationship of interest between him and Carter Jr., only the friendship of friends.

Others may think it's ridiculous to be friends with a child, but Wen Hao and Carter Jr. have such a relationship. Little Carter changed his surname and became lively because of Wen Hao's appearance, and Wen Hao also got back on his feet after being frustrated because of Little Carter's indomitable spirit.

Both of them are each other's lucky stars.

At this time, on the other end of the phone, Carter Jr. said, "Wen Hao, I called, didn't bother you, right?" ”

"Of course I was about to rest." Wen Hao said with a smile.

"Okay, don't bother then, you continue to rest." Little Carter also joked with Wen Hao.

Wen Hao laughed twice and said, "Since it's all disturbed, what's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

"It's nothing, it's just a war with the Lakers, and I'm afraid you'll be scared, so I'm going to encourage you."

"Cut, will I be scared? Who am I, I'm a city hero. ”

"But you're running into Kobe Bryant this time, Black Mamba." Carter Jr. said with a smile.

"What are you afraid of, didn't I win against him last time?" Wen Hao made a look of coaxing. Then he asked Carter Jr., "I remember you used to say that you liked the Lakers, who do you support now?" ”

Carter Jr. thought seriously for a while and said, "Originally, I liked Kobe, Kobe is my idol." But you're my friend again, which makes it hard for me to choose. But after careful consideration, I'd better choose you, after all, we are friends in life and death. ”

"Bear child, who is a friend of life and death with you." Wen Hao scolded with a smile, "If it's okay, I'll hang up, and you'll see tonight." ”

"Well, I'm looking forward to your game." Little Carter said in a little adult's tone. This made Wen Hao laugh again.

Hanging up the phone, Wen Hao closed his eyes happily. Somehow, he found it much easier and more natural to socialize with children than with adults. Every time he talks to Carter Jr., he is in a relaxed mood and feels like a child. But once he interacted with Chengren, Wen Hao rarely spoke, and it was usually others who said he listened. Because he thinks that what he can talk about with these Chengren is between interests. And between interests, there is not so much to say. It can be summed up in three words, "cooperation" or "no".

That night, in the anticipation of nearly 20,000 fans at the Toyota Center, the game between the Lakers and the Rockets finally began.

The defensive strategy developed by McHale of the Rockets was to defend Kobe Bryant as soon as he came up. Everyone knows that the Lakers are Kobe Bryant's one-man team, and as long as they prevent him, the Lakers will be finished.

But no one expected that when the Lakers came up, Kobe Bryant did not control the ball, but handed it over to their point guard Marshall. Although Marshall is a young point guard, his passing is extremely old-fashioned, which makes the Rockets unguardable. The Rockets, on the other hand, put too much effort into the defensive end, and as a result, they were a little poor on offense. Although there were twin towers present, they were beaten 8-0 by the Lakers in the opening game.

McHale couldn't, so he called a timeout, adjusted his defensive strategy, and divided a part of the defensive forces to defend Marshall.

But maybe Kobe Bryant taught well, maybe Marshall was smart, and when the Rockets began to defend him, he frequently passed the ball to Kobe Bryant and let Kobe come to play alone.

Although Kobe Bryant is old and has not broken through effectively, his kung fu on jump shooting has reached the point of perfection this year, hitting jump shots one after another. And his picturesque step-back jumper Harden simply can't defend against it. So halfway through the quarter, the Rockets were already trailing by as many as 10 points. (To be continued.) )
