But at this time, there is still a month before July, and there is a draft in the middle, which is not so fast.

When the few people finished chatting and dispersed, Harden found Xu Yong alone.

"After we played in the first round, Bryant gave me some advice, and I thought it might help you as well." Harden spoke.

Xu Yong looked at Harden suspiciously.

"He advised me to practice the European step and throw, and sent me a video of his individual training and a detailed piece of advice for the game." Harden continued.

Xu Yong was full of surprise when he heard this.

It's not because Kobe Bryant shared these things with Harden, but Kobe Bryant will share these things with Harden.

Basketball skills are all things that players eat, how can ordinary people share their eating guys with others?

Kobe Bryant: It's a little bit different.

Xu Yong nodded, and then took his phone and watched the video that Harden said.

It was a video of Kobe Bryant training his throws.

Unlike other techniques, throwing was a technique that Kobe Bryant knew before he entered the league, and even when he was No. 8, throwing was one of his main offensive methods.

So in this regard, he is very experienced and skillful.

From heads-up jumpers to jumpers, as well as throws under confrontation, the combination of details and footwork.

It's not as systematic as the trainer says, but it's full of dry goods.

Of course, more practical than that, is the match proposal, which is a more detailed thing because it talks about how to find scoring opportunities in the game, and the defensive tendencies of different types of defenders, etc.

"I think Kobe Bryant is very optimistic about you." Xu Yong said with emotion after reading it.

None of this is even something that money can get.

However, remembering that Kobe Bryant also took Harden to invest with him in history, and he was full of praise for Harden after retiring, it can be seen that he is really optimistic about Harden as a fan, or he values it.

In other words, Kobe Bryant's [acquaintance] point, the gap between Jordan and Kobe Bryant is like the gap between Tabit and Xu Yong on the court.

Of course, Harden, who is still playing as a substitute for the Thunder at this time, is obviously unexpected by this optimism.

"When he approached me, I was in disbelief." Harden spoke.

"Then it proves that he is not looking at the wrong person." Xu Yong patted Harden on the shoulder and said.

He now feels more and more that Harden's future will be different from what it was in history.

And at this time, he also had bigger thoughts in his heart.

In the games against the Cavaliers and Celtics, his biggest feeling is that his hard solving ability is not enough.

Now that he can improve his ability, after thinking about it, the most effective technique should be to turn around and lean back.

Jordan's words, he definitely won't go looking for it.

But if Kobe Bryant is like this, he can still give it a try.

Although, the last time they met, the two didn't have much contact with each other.

……

In the following period, Xu Yong practiced throwing skills with Harden in training.

Throwing is one of the small techniques, and it is a way to score against tight defense on the inside.

Parker, like the Spurs, is one of them.

Seo Yong's current split-man dunk is his signature offensive style, but there are many times in the game that you can't dunk if you want to.

It's not a matter of being afraid of injury, sometimes you can't deduct it if you don't have enough energy.

Of course, in addition to training, several of them will also sit together to watch the regional finals of the East and West.

It's inevitable that a few people will get together and predict who will make the cut.

On the Eastern side, Harden is unanimously optimistic about the Magic, you must know that the Magic killed the Celtics last season in the Eastern Finals, and this year's roster strength has reached a higher level, while the Celtics are a year older.

As for the Western side, there is no brainer to choose the Lakers, although the Rockets have played very surprisingly this year, the Lakers Kobe Bryant is in too good shape.

Xu Yong's words, as a reborn, he naturally knew that the Celtics in the east would win the Magic, but what made him look forward to it was the west side.

The Rockets have a strong configuration this year, and there is no Artest on the Lakers' side, if he can really pass the Lakers, Yao Ming has a good chance to compete for a championship.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the divisional finals have come to an end.

Nothing surprising happened to Xu Yong, the Celtics eliminated the Magic 4-2, and the Lakers carried the Rockets 4-2.

Like the Suns, even with Battier and Artest, the Rockets still can't stop Kobe Bryant this year.

Only a year later, the yellow-green battle was staged again.

It seems that Kobe Bryant will most likely complete this wave of two consecutive championships as Xu Yong knows.

However, before the finals started, Xu Yong received a call from Foreman first.

The Bulls are still going to change their coach.

Although De Nagro led the team to complete the Black Eight, it was difficult to satisfy the management in terms of coaching level.

Or to put it another way, De Nagro is a good babysitting coach who is great to rebuild, but difficult to bring out results.

This Black Eight made the management see the potential and ceiling of this team, and naturally changed the coach in advance.

As for the new head coach, yes, although he is still playing in the playoffs with the Celtics, Thibodeau is still booked.

The Bulls want a good coach, but like free agents, you don't have many options.

The famous, Popovich, Carlisle, George Carr, Phil Jackson, Sloan, D'Antoni, Rivers, all have contracts with the parent team.

The only ones who can choose now are Nelson Sr., Jeff Van Gundy, Lawrence Frank, Mike Dunleavy and Byron Scott.

What's more, you have to consider the suitability with the team.

This Bulls team is clearly not well-suited to the bombardment, and it doesn't have the super center that Jeff Van Gundy wants.

And the defensive counterattack played by the Bulls against the Cavaliers coincides with Thibodeau's coaching philosophy.

Besides, Thibodeau is now the most popular assistant coach in the league, he has been an assistant coach for ten years, and his assistant coaching career during the Rockets and Celtics is very highly rated.

With this personnel change, the original teaching assistant team will also leave the team one after another, and "Silver Fox" Harris will also officially retire.

Xu Yong only received the news that he would definitely not be able to speak now.

Foreman would call him, which was already a lot of respect for him.

After talking to Foreman, Xu Yong went on to call Denagro.

Although Denagro is really not good at coaching, he also has the advantages of knowing how to make good use of people, being good as a stream, and being flexible in scheduling, especially the willingness to use rookies, which is a lucky thing for Xu Yong.

If you really meet Larry Brown and Rivers, you're the real Jordan and you're going to have to sit on the bench for two months.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say a word of kindness.

……

Fast forward to mid-June, and after the most intense and possibly the most spectacular Finals since the turn of the century, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Celtics in the tiebreaker and successfully defended their title.

Kobe Bryant won the fifth championship trophy of his career and was also the MVP of the Finals.

This moment can be said to be the pinnacle of the Cormies, and after leaving O'Neal, Kobe Bryant completed a consecutive championship and completely proved himself.

Of course, even if it is not Komi, Kobe Bryant will be honored at this time.

From Gasol's absence at the beginning of the season to leading the team to the Finals in the playoffs, Kobe Bryant's season is definitely worth it.

With the end of the finals, the curtain of the 2009~2010 season has officially come to an end.

After staying in Tempe for another week, he heard that Kobe Bryant had returned to Los Angeles, so Xu Yong bought a ticket and flew over.

When he got off the plane, he called Kobe: "Hey, Kobe, I beat LeBron, I think I can beat you now, where are you?" ”

……

A private arena in Los Angeles.

Xu Yong and Kobe Bryant both sat on the sidelines and gasped for air.

In the past hour or so, they played 15 games of 24-point heads-up until they couldn't play, and the result was Kobe Bryant 10-5 Xu Yong.

"That's what you say you can beat me?" Kobe Bryant breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head to Xu Yong with a Nick Young question mark face.

"Alright! I'll admit that the gap between LeBron and you is a little bit bigger than I thought. Xu Yong said with a smile.

A player like Kobe Bryant is going to be very busy in the summer, and it was pure luck when he met last offseason, and if he really wants to learn something from him this year, he has to learn to create timing.

So it's just a reason to find Kobe Bryant, of course, he also wants to see the difference in strength between himself and Kobe Bryant.

Well, it turns out that Kobe Bryant's heads-up ability is really not ordinarily strong, especially when he gets serious, his dominance is stronger than the official game.

Kobe Bryant shook his head with a smile after hearing this, he didn't say anything, but he really wanted James to play heads-up with him, and he wouldn't lose a game.

"Your problem is that the defense is not very good." Bryant laughed and continued.

Xu Yong immediately sat up when he heard this, and then looked at Kobe Bryant seriously: "What should I do?" ”

Kobe Bryant was stunned, he didn't expect that he just showed a deformed horn and was caught by Xu Yongyi.

However, seeing that Xu Yong was so serious, he also sat up, and then analyzed with him very seriously: "Your defense now relies more on awareness and prediction, but judging this kind of thing it can't work every time, especially when facing opponents with many offensive means." ”

Xu Yong nodded when he heard this.

Looking back at his playoff last season, he played well against the Cavaliers, or he played well as soon as he played James, and that's why he played well.

Because of the physical confrontation, James does not have many offensive means, and the effect of his play is a bit similar to Leonard's death entanglement.

But when it came to the second round against Celtic, he couldn't play that way against Ray Allen and Pierce.

"I'm listening." Seeing that Kobe Bryant stopped, Xu Yong continued to speak.

In fact, he came to Kobe Bryant this time, and he really wanted to ask for defensive skills.

And what made him change his mind was the phone call from Foreman.

The step-back jumper is a good thing, and if Bulls head coach Phil Jackson is even De Nagro, he's definitely going to prioritize it.

Because this technique is a great reinforcement for him in positional warfare.

But if Thibodeau comes, he'll have to put that priority on the back burner.

Because what Thibodeau values most is the defensive ability of the players.

And "I want it all" is a bit unrealistic for him this summer.

Because he is going to play the World Championships later, you let him learn to throw, defend and back, he has high training intensity, but he can't do the tricks.

However, Kobe Bryant did not continue to speak at this time, but touched his chin and looked at Xu Yong.

He is willing to give so much to Harden, which is optimistic about Harden.

Xu Yong...... This guy was in the dark last season.

"So, if you can beat me again, I'll show you the trick." Bryant said with a smile.

Xu Yong nodded after listening, then stood up and went directly to take the ball.

Although his current strength is not as good as Kobe, he still has a chance to win if he only plays one game.

"What do you do?" Bryant spoke suspiciously.

"Another game?" Xu Yong was also puzzled when he held the ball.

"No, no, it's not this, you come with me." Bryant said as he got up.

Xu Yong was even more puzzled this time, but he still put down the ball and left the court with Kobe.

After following Kobe Bryant to the place, he knew what Kobe Bryant was talking about.

Ice baths, usually performed after strenuous exercise, allow damaged capillaries to contract rapidly to reduce pain, relieve inflammation, and promote muscle recovery.

In the era before Xu Yong's rebirth, this ice water bath had been replaced by liquid nitrogen freezers and was also popularized.

But in this era, that's all.

It turns out that Kobe Bryant said this.

And after knowing that it was this, he couldn't help but laugh.

He doesn't have an absolute chance of winning heads-up, but he wins better than this.

"Don't rejoice too soon." Kobe Bryant had already begun to take off his training uniform after seeing Xu Yong's expression, "I can't lose." ”

Xu Yong nodded, then also took off his training clothes, and the two of them quickly jumped into the icy water.

The moment I entered, the cold instantly invaded the whole body, like countless fine needles inserted into the pores, which was so sour that ordinary people had to jump up when they sat down.

However, there is still some resistance to NBA players who are used to using this method.

So as soon as he sat down, Kobe Bryant was joking with Xu Yong.

However, as time passed, both of them stopped talking, because as the body temperature dropped, it slowly changed from resistance to willpower.

The average player can last 10 minutes in this ice bath to pass, and the maximum will not exceed 15 minutes.

For more than 15 minutes, even if your willpower can stand it, your eighteen-centimeter brother will not be able to stand it.

Soon, the time came to ten minutes.

Kobe Bryant turned his head to look at Xu Yong at this time, and after seeing that Xu Yong was motionless, he turned his head back.

Soon, the clock was 12 minutes, and every second of it was starting to get tormented.

Bryant began to adjust his breathing.

Xu Yong was also uncomfortable at this time, although he was immune to injuries, but the pain would not go away.

Finally, when it came to the 13th minute, Bryant took a deep breath and said, "If you can't hold on, don't force it." ”

Xu Yong also gritted his teeth: "You can come out first." ”

Bryant didn't answer, grabbed the edge of the barrel with both hands, and continued to adjust his breathing.

Fast forward to the 14th minute, and Bryant's teeth were already chattering uncontrollably.

Xu Yong is similar, but because he knows that he will not be injured, he is still gritting his teeth and persevering.

Finally, when the time came to the 15th minute, Kobe Bryant finally couldn't stand it anymore, jumped up from the ice bucket with a "bang", screamed and quickly found a bath towel to wrap up.

After wrapping the bath towel, he looked back at Xu Yong, who was still in the ice water, and he was really convinced.

This guy is really damning!

Xu Yong also stood up from the ice water in the next second, and when he got up, he held the bucket with his hand and shivered uncontrollably, and said, "Next time we will still fight bulls." ”

"Well, I think so too." Kobe Bryant wrapped his bath towel tightly and nodded immediately.

Special thanks for the 10,000 reward for inviting the moon drink! Thank you for the 4300 tip of the Black Moon Night Kirin! Thank you Raymond for your 1000 tip, thank you Brother Feng for the reward of Xiao Kongqiu~~ I drank some wine today, and my head was a little dizzy.
